Chapter 256 - 253 I Didn’t See It Clearly
The lover he yearned for day and night finally appeared before him again. Unable to contain himself any longer, Nakado Department disregarded the flames burning around the ritual site and rushed towards the person he hadn’t seen for eight years. Suddenly, a surge of purple flames rose up before him, constructing a wall of fire that thrust him back.
Knocked to the ground by the sudden ascent of the flames, Nakado Department looked at Kojiya Yukiko, who was obstructed by the fire behind her. His face held shock and surprise, but above all, an endless yearning...
Eight years ago, due to his own mistake which led to her death, he even personally performed her dissection...
Throughout these eight years, Nakado Department had lived in guilt and self-blame for her, hating his helplessness, hating that he couldn’t avenge her, hating that he couldn’t find the murderer...

But now, eight years later, when Kojiya Yukiko appeared before him again, a wall of fire separated them, just like the insurmountable distance between heaven and man.
Yearningly, Nakado Department looked at Kojiya Yukiko beyond the flames and reached out towards her. How he wished he could touch her once more, stroke her cheek, and confess his remorse, and how much he loved her...
Regrettably, the flames before him hindered all of that, and he could only kneel down in vain in front of the fire, unable to get closer.
"Why..." Nakado Department pounded the floor forcefully. He didn’t ask Chen Yu why he wasn’t allowed to pass, because he also knew that even if he could get through, Kojiya Yukiko could never return to his side; she was just a departed soul, whom he could see only once more in exchange for a hundred years.@@@@
The only thing he questioned was why he hadn’t been able to save her life, why he hadn’t been able to avenge her.
"You’re not wrong, but do you know which element a Necromancer should absorb?" Chen Yu looked at Misumi Mikoto. Her current state was not unusual; many people who’ve just encountered the mystical and unknown are similarly curious and eager to try more. He had been the same initially, but only after suffering some setbacks did he learn to be cautious.
The more you know, the more you realize how ignorant you are, and the more you understand humility. Conversely, those who know nothing are the ones who truly dare to be bold and fearless.
However, this curiosity about the unknown should be encouraged. If a Mage loses curiosity about knowledge and merely indulges in power, such a person doesn’t deserve to be called a Mage.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yu opened his mouth to resolve Misumi Mikoto’s doubts, "Necromancers are different from ordinary Mages. We need Negative Energy that comes from death—what traditional Transcendents refer to as Yin Energy or Yin Force.
Before you officially start trying to absorb Negative Energy, if you come into contact with other elements, it will contaminate the purity of your Soul and lead to a muddle of powers.
While there are ways to resolve it, the consequences can be quite bothersome. Rather than solving a problem after it arises, it’s better not to make mistakes from the start."
While listening to Chen Yu’s explanation to Misumi Mikoto, Kube Rokuro couldn’t contain his curiosity about Magic any longer and asked Chen Yu, "Brother Yu, can I learn Spells from you?"
Chen Yu glanced at Kube Rokuro, smiled, and nodded, "You can, but first I need to test whether you’re qualified. Without the required aptitude, even if I’m willing to teach you, you won’t be able to learn."
Having said that, Chen Yu performed the same forty-eight hand gestures he had used to test Misumi Mikoto before, then gestured for Kube Rokuro to repeat them.
However, Kube Rokuro just looked at Chen Yu’s hands with some bewilderment, and stuttered, "Brother Yu, could you repeat that, please? I didn’t see it clearly."
