The following week of training was spent on making Sure I could make basic Onmyodo seals in a timely and efficient manner.
"You are nowhere near the level of a basic Onmyoji, but for now it will do," Those are the words the God of Archery said when we finished our training for the week.
Anti-Evil Spirit Talismans to exorcise Spirits and Demons, Emergency Healing Talismans to stop bleeding and rejuvenate the body, and a simple Personal-Barrier Talisman to act as a sort of Armor, taking a hit for me.
"You now know how to make these three basic Onmyodo Talismans, That will have to suffice you for your mission tomorrow," The Red-Armored Samurai God said as he stared at the small pile of Talismans we created during the week.
"Go home and rest, I will collect you early tomorrow to bring you over to The Shin-Corp HQ in Nara, where your mission briefing and introduction to your teammate for the foreseeable future will take place," I stood up, sword in hand, and got ready to head back home.
"Just one more thing," Hachiman spoke up and brought me to a pause.
"Yes, Sensei?" I asked him, already fearing whatever he had to say to me.
"Let's see if you remember your training from last week..." The God of War silently stood up from the grassy ground of Kuoh Park and stomped his foot on the dirt.
I quickly ran a distance away from him, grabbing three of each talisman and putting them on my body.
Healing Talisman in my pockets for emergency use and the Barrier Talisman on my arms and neck to protect them.
The Anti-Evil Spirit Talisman was a bit different to use. In order for them to take effect, they need to make contact with the spirit. I wrapped one Talisman around my right hand as a sort of improvised knuckle and the other two I placed on the sides of my Jade Katana.
They won't really be useful if Hachiman doesn't turn his training Statues into evil spirits, but it's better to be prepared.
I held my blade with two hands as I watched the statue rise out of the ground like a pillar.
It wasn't Jade nor was it Terracotta.
It was larger than the previous statues, Almost thrice my height. Made of smooth white Marble, Limbs as wide as tree branches and a torso as wide as a log. In its marble hands, it wielded a Large Mace with a long shaft and a heavy head.
It was mostly unarmored, Only wearing a pair of Fur Pants and Buts made of solid white stone.
The Head of the statue, however, was monstrous.
Resembling a mixture between a Gorilla and a Bull, A Flat face with a pair of large bovine horns. Marble hair covers most of the head, causing it to resemble what I might Imagine a Yeti to look like.
Are Yeti real? Question for later.
Taking a deep breath, I spread my legs apart and held my sword firmly. Ready to jump into action the moment the Marble Statue takes its first step.
............................
Hachiman watched patiently as Motohama Ken stood at the ready, an approving look under his Mask as he watched the boy ready his Talismans. A small frown crossed his face as he watched the healing talismans in the boy's pocket, but he ignored them for the moment.
The God of War and Archery clapped his hands together, A red glow appeared in the eyes of the statue, and he cried "BEGIN!"
The Statue roared to life, Arms of Solid Marble effortlessly lifting the large pole-mace in its arms before slamming the large weapon on the ground, a cloud of dirt and dust covering the statue like a smokescreen.
