There are two things Ye Yu fears most: ghosts and trouble.
Unfortunately, both cling to him like burrs.
His bespectacled roommate pesters him every day, asking where he went after climbing over the wall last night. Huang Tian and Chen Hang drag him out as a human shield when they pick fights with the school bully.
Those are only minor troubles.
The real trouble is that Ma Xiaotao, a five-hundred-year-old rat demon, has moved into his dorm and refuses to leave. Her excuse? “The Rat King told me to protect you.”
When he sneaks over the wall and down the mountain in the middle of the night, he runs into a three-hundred-year-old cat demon lying in wait for him, baring its teeth and demanding he hand over the Blood Demon Hide.
Even when he passes a mass grave, seven or eight wandering spirits line up, waiting for him to send them on their way.
Ye Yu presses his fingers to his brow and takes a deep breath.
His master taught him that soul hunters must be compassionate, vanquish demons, and protect the human world.
Fine. Vanquishing demons is his main job, protecting the human world is a side gig, and while he's at it, he might as well graduate high school.
Who knew soul hunters had to take math exams, too?
