If someone had told you earlier today that you would play an instrumental part in uniting an army of monsters to take revenge on a vampire lord older than most human civilizations for spreading misinformation about you, you might have applauded their gift for creative storytelling and went on your merry way.
Except, that was the unfortunate reality that you now found yourself in. You have no real problems with smacking down horrible monsters when they get out of line, but…when they reared their ugly heads on a school night…
For the past forty minutes or so, you’ve been drawing maps, giving directions, providing advice on strategic approaches to certain overrun streets…all while writing down the answers to math problems that you were expected to complete when you got back to your dorm.
At the rate you were going, you might have to borrow Del’s phone again to have Ben call in your absence for the second day in a row. On the bright side, having a Kumiho’s physiology was about the only thing keeping you on your feet in the face of a seemingly inexhaustible zombie army.
Once you were done giving directions, you had someone draw you a slightly more detailed map of the areas between you and that plaza where you'd run into Louise. If you hurried, you might be able to catch them before they got too far.
On your way out, you said a brief goodbye to Grandma Young, and tried to ignore the worried glances she kept giving your second fox tail. And...you honestly couldn't blame her for being worried.
Unbeknownst to most people, a fox demon’s number of tails symbolized their spiritual power, age and wisdom. Except, you were a 13 year old girl with barely any wisdom to speak of, and you had the spiritual power of a rock. A normal rock. Not even one of those cool ones with runes carved into them.
So why was it that you were able to grow a second tail so soon? Maybe it had something to do with the unusual method that was used to grant you the power of Ami Han. If you were awakening to some sort of latent spiritual potential, then that would mean that your body would have to slowly change in order to accommodate for all that energy that was welling up inside you.
And what exactly was a Kumiho with loads of spiritual power, but none of the wisdom required to properly utilize it? It was like building a killer robot with all sorts of gadgets and weapons, and then telling them to go around beating people up with nothing but their hands and feet.
You’d been told that Ami Han was a powerful demon, and an impressive Onmyo. Without any of her practical experience, you possessed nothing more than a fraction of her physical strength. You were a human borrowing a demon’s spiritual power. That was all. At least, that’s what you told yourself in order to distract your mind from the itching sensation you felt in your lower back.
