Who Has to Catch Their Own Technique?

Yu Qiandu transmigrated.

From the start, he landed in Suribachi Street, surrounded by ruins and a horde of monsters. They opened their bloody maws at him.

A face-to-face jumpscare!

His transmigration came with a golden finger: he could summon the mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

Azure Dragons, White Tigers, Taotie, Qiongqi... As long as a creature was recorded in the book, he could summon it, along with all kinds of abilities. Moving mountains and overturning seas would be easy.

Yu Qiandu: This kind of deal is real?

Full of anticipation, he summoned the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Ten minutes passed.

Nothing happened.

Yu Qiandu flipped through the book, pages rustling. The entry for the Nine-Tailed Fox was completely blank, except for one line:

[The summoned beast will appear at a random location. Find and capture it yourself. It can only follow your orders after you record it in the book.]

Yu Qiandu turned pale and took off running.

A strange ability user was running around all over Yokohama.

Dazai looked horrified. "I was just about to drown myself when he suddenly appeared, holding a monster with a human face and a fish's body, asking if I wanted to eat it. Apparently, it cures scabies." That was the Chiru.

Chuuya sighed. "He strode right through a shootout, bullets flying everywhere, and asked if I'd seen a monkey." That was Zhu Yan.

Oda Sakunosuke pondered. "He was very polite. He asked if I'd scared off a snow-white dog with a tiny heart that flies away whenever it sees someone." That was Tianma.

Later, a certain white-haired teacher told Yu Qiandu that his golden finger was called a "technique," and the summoned beasts were "shikigami."

The monsters chasing him were "curses," born from people's negative emotions. He would have to become a jujutsu sorcerer and learn how to exorcise them.

Yu Qiandu didn't think so.

The beasts of the Classic of Mountains and Seas carried the power of faith and could turn the world upside down. How could they possibly be born from negative emotions?

[Bonus Scene]

Yu Qiandu had very little cursed energy and was only ranked a Grade 4 sorcerer.

His technique could summon a fluffy civet cat that made people forget their worries: Feifei.

His classmates often went easy on him during sparring, afraid of hurting him by accident.

But one time, on a mission, he faced a Special Grade curse...

Yu Qiandu's hand slipped, and most of the mythical beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas came pouring out. The Special Grade curse evaporated instantly, leaving all his classmates staring at one another in bewilderment.

The white-haired teacher passing by lowered his blindfold. "Ah, you finally figured it out! Even I wouldn't dare provoke Qiandu lightly!"

Reader's Guide:

1. Some parts of the timeline are author-created.

2. Ability users can't see curses, except in special circumstances.

3. Curses born from ability users are Special Grade at minimum, with strength far above average.
