Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 47: Deja Vu

Chapter 47: Deja Vu

Lux is the most common type of weapon in this world. Lux before activation is small and compact, fitting into the palm, with a green Manadyte located somewhere in the weapon.

After activation, the weapon's form materializes using mana. There are different types available such as a sword, a bow, a spear, or a gun.

Range Lux ammunition is made entirely out of mana and dissipates soon after being fired, removing the need for the new ammunition.

Oh, Lux uses Manadite as a power source.

Now, many might ask, why is Lux so much more popular than those hot weapons?

It was all because of Manadyte.

Manadyte is a special ore that is created through Mana crystallizing. By giving a certain amount of pressure, it has a property able to memorize and fixate on a certain element pattern. It is normally not available on Earth and is mined from the meteors of Invertia. It is used as a core for Lux and items created by using Rakusei Kougaku.

Manadyte is used for many things, from weapons to energy. As it comes in many shapes, qualities, and purity, some of them are more special than others.

Urm Manadyte is the general term used for Manadyte of extremely high purity. There are far fewer in terms of numbers, and Lux, made with it as a core, is known as Orga Lux.

Orga Lux are highly prized and powerful weapons, most of which belong to the Integrated Enterprise Foundation, though they are lent to the schools for students to use if capable.

All Orga Lux are semi-sentient, having distinct abilities as well as a will of their own. They also incur a cost on their users for using them, with some being rather easy to bear or handle and some being extremely difficult. Other than power levels, this is usually the key as to why so few Genestellars, even exceptionally powerful ones, are compatible with Orga Lux or form a long-term relationship with these weapons.

Some Ogra Luxs aren't content with just being paired with a capable user and will influence their users' minds. Some go so far as to even change their users' appearances to suit their likes and needs, with one of the most notable examples being Gravisheath.

Irene, as the holder of Gravisheath, was also troubled since her consciousness was affected by this weapon, and the more she used this weapon, the more she was unable to control herself.

However, her meeting with Tamazuki changed everything.

As he had explained many times, a tanuki possessed a variety of abilities, and one of them happened to be "possession." By using this ability, he could take control of anything, including those with sentiments. However, it was rare for him to use this ability since it didn't really help much in the battle. It was also useless since the protagonist's halo would protect the protagonist with this type of ability, so he mostly trained all abilities which caused a direct wound or could instantly kill people, such as his physical ability, fire manipulation, or poison manipulation.

Yet, without a doubt, the "possession" was a useful ability depending on the situation.

Irene's situation also happened to be his specialty, so he just took control of Gravisheath with his ability, fighting the sentient inside the weapon, beating it so much that it could become obedient.

It was like a revenge story where the bully had become the one being bullied.

This was the case with Gravisheath.

However, without a doubt, Orga Lux's ability was powerful, especially when the protagonist also held it.

Gravisheath, which was held by Irene, had the ability to control gravity.

Claudia, who fell in love with him inexplicably, also held one, and her ability was an ability to see the future.

Meanwhile, as the protagonist, his Orga Lux, was also the most special one.

Ser-Veresta.

Like Wole-Zain, which was offered by Dirk before, Ser-Vesta was also one of the Four Colored Magic Swords.

"Why not?" Irene didn't fear Xinglou. Instead, she was also interested in her.

Priscilla was timid, but she felt it was better to follow Xinglou instead of staying in this place.

"Then, you guys continue."

When the two followed, Xinglou no longer stayed and left.

Still, many students looked at Priscilla and Irene in jealousy, but with the atmosphere of the arena, they quickly joined everyone in mocking Tamazuki.

While the arena was boiling with excitement, all the places on the Asterisk were the same.

The Jie Long tournament has become the focus of everyone now.

While the students of Jie Long were angry at Tamazuki, Jie Long, the governing body of Jie Long Seventh Institute, was happy that their tournament had become popular. The number of paid viewers and subscribers of their tournament kept increasing. By now, even if Tamazuki became the winner of this tournament, it didn't matter. Still, even if he didn't win, they hoped that he could enter the final since that way, the popularity of this tournament could become even more popular.

Everyone watched this tournament, but him?

He was thinking about his future until his first opponent talked to him.

"Are you Inugamigyoubu Tamazuki?"

"Yes."

Frankly, he wouldn't bother to remember or talk to an extra character, but it was in public, so he needed to keep a certain image.

"My name is Luo Kunzhan, and I am here to defeat you."

"Oh-ho?"

"Everyone here is a warrior who gives their everything, and they have trained hard to show the result of their hard work in this tournament, but your existence tarnishes this tournament, so here I declare that I will defeat you!"

An honest man with a well-defined muscle shouted, causing the students of the Jie Long to scream like madmen.

"Beat him, Luo!"

"Beat his face! Get his face!"

"Show him the might of Jie Long!"

Everyone screamed like an ape.

Luo didn't say anything and held his long metal staff, ready to fight.

"........"

Watching Luo in front of him, Tamazuki's lips twitched, and he somehow felt that this scene was familiar.
