The entry of the Shishioh Treasure Sword, the Isayama family's heirloom sword, into the list indeed made the Isayama family the center of attention before everyone.
Combined with Yomi, who was listed on three lists, namely the Eternal Beauty List, Transcendent List, and Divine Artifact List, more and more people paid attention to the Isayama family. With this boost, the Isayama family's status in the Onmyōdō world rose rapidly.
At the same time, everyone also remembered the name Isayama Yomi.
Person listed on Three Lists.
Perhaps more would continuously emerge in the future, but, until now, Yomi was the first!!!
The first, always the most impressive and easiest to remember.

Ukiyo Middle School.
Rikuo showed slight bitterness and helplessness.
The previous Transcendent List didn't reveal him, but instead the Divine Artifact List revealed him through Nenekirimaru. Seeing his classmates around showing slight fear, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"It seems I can't come to school again in the future."
The revelation of his half-Yōkai identity also meant that the normal and ordinary life of the past would leave him. Although unconsciously he didn't want to accept his Yōkai identity, he could still see some things clearly. That wasn't something that didn't exist just because he didn't want to accept it. That was just deceiving oneself and meaningless!
It was time to make a decision. He was truly different from them from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Rikuo only glanced around the classroom and his classmates, as if yearning for something, but then he packed his bag and left the classroom.
The previously tense and silent atmosphere in the classroom only then eased, and sounds of discussion were heard alternately.
"Nura Rikuo is actually a Yōkai, so scary!"
"Just half-Yōkai..."
"Isn't half-Yōkai still Yōkai? Fortunately, the Dimensional List revealed him early, otherwise, we all might be in danger."
"Right, now there must already be people from the Onmyō Agency who came to capture him."
"Don't you find it strange, even though he's a Yōkai, why does he use a Yōkai-slaying sword—Nenekirimaru!"
"..."
"What's strange, maybe they kill each other among Yōkai."
"..."
When a foreign object was suddenly discovered within the same group, no matter how harmless it showed itself before, after being revealed, it would face the greatest suspicion of evil.
This was humanity's innate weakness, something unavoidable.
Of course, there were also exceptions among them.
Kiyojūji Kiyotsugu, Torii Natsumi, Ieharu Kana... these few people didn't suspect Rikuo with malicious intent. On the contrary, because of the revelation of his identity, they showed slight worry, slightly afraid that Rikuo, their good friend, would truly face capture by Onmyōji as other classmates said.
"Half-Yōkai, is that him?"
Kiyotsugu looked at Rikuo who walked step by step toward outside the school through the window, thinking of memories carved deep in his heart.
He decided after school, he had to go to Rikuo's house to ask clearly, even if he knew it was a tiger's den.
That was a knot that had troubled his heart for years and must be opened!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
Tokyo, a certain bar.
Reiji looked slovenly like a delinquent, looking at the Divine Artifact List in the sky through the window, gulping down the beer in his hand until it was gone. Judging from his current appearance, it couldn't be seen at all that he was one of the famous Twelve Divine Generals from the Onmyō Agency.
"Kusabimaru! Not bad, you actually got listed!"
Reiji knocked the golden-haired youth leaning beside him while hugging a long sword with a very crazy expression. He was Kusabimaru's human form.
He didn't expect before, that Kusabimaru-type Shikigami would be assessed as one type of weapon by the Divine Artifact List and get listed. That was an unexpected surprise, but there was one more thing Reiji was more concerned about...
He stared sharply at the detailed information of Rank 94: Crow Feather Robe on the Divine Artifact List, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but grin.
"Tsuchimikado Harutora/Tsuchimikado Yakōu, hahaha... this is the most interesting!"
"Those old people at the Onmyō Agency and Onmyō Academy have been deceived by the Tsuchimikado family, completely fooled. Tsuchimikado Natsume is just a chess piece deliberately placed by Tsuchimikado publicly, a chess piece hiding Tsuchimikado Yakōu's true reincarnation."
Reiji rose from his seat, and also pulled Kusabimaru beside him.
"Let's go, Kusabimaru..."
"I remember that child is an Onmyō Academy student, Tsuchimikado Yakōu's reincarnation. This good show, must not be missed!"
Similar scenes didn't only happen with Reiji. It could be said, that as long as it was a faction, organization, or family affiliated with Onmyōdō, after seeing the information about Crow Feather Robe, they immediately understood what the Tsuchimikado family deliberately hid.
Owner of Crow Feather Robe—Tsuchimikado Harutora/Tsuchimikado Yakōu!!!
After thinking carefully, everything immediately became clear.
Harutora was Yakōu's reincarnation. And, the Tsuchimikado family clearly hid Harutora while knowing all this, and at the same time pushed Natsume to attract the outside world's attention, making everyone unconsciously think that Natsume was Yakōu's reincarnation.
Tsuchimikado's countless calculations never expected the secret they had hidden all along, would be directly revealed by this sudden Dimensional List.
The revelation of Yakōu's reincarnation identity was a very shocking matter for all of Onmyōdō.
Especially Yakōu's loyal followers, they all became very enthusiastic, imagining restoring Onmyōdō's glory under his leadership.
"Before the Onmyō Agency and Onmyō Academy react, have our people bring Natsume and Harutora back to the main house."
Tsuchimikado Yasumi, head of the Tsuchimikado family, immediately gave orders after seeing the secret had been revealed.
"Hopefully everything can still be salvaged!"
