One of the signs a place has a possibility to possess natural mana is the manifestation of paranormal entities. It was a very common occurrence and I notice this before. Once a place is being manifested by spirits, it is either a place full of mana or it was the place that the paranormal was attached with causing the place to develop mana in the process. The two choices are both win-win situations to me. So if what the Realtor said is true, then this would be the most ideal place to set up the teleportation portal.

"Are you sure you wanted to go to that place? Even us would feel a bit troubled if things get a bit worse than necessary. We don't want to endanger the lives of our customers so if the rumors are true, it would be best if you don't check it out."

"Don't worry, things like this will make me more interested further. If you are worried, then just leave me the address and I will visit it myself."

The realtor was a bit reluctant but since I was determined, she gave in and give the address to me. It was not that far from the Yagoto Cemetery, the largest cemetery in Nagoya. Now I am not surprised the place gets haunted, the reason might not be connected but it is a very high chance it was.

After eating lunch, I bid farewell to the realtor and told her I will be back if I wanted to buy it. I also told her to prepare the papers in case I will take them. There is a very high chance that this will be the place I will be choosing.

The realtor keeps on giving me warnings but since I am confident enough, I departed and went to the mansion that was said to be haunted. It was a 10-minute drive from the convenience store. I even passed by the Yagoto Cemetery before I reach the house. It was just really near to the cemetery. I wonder why does this mansion was made in this place if the place is near the cemetery. Most people will be discouraged to buy one house near the vicinity unless they want some sort of a house that would be a memorial gathering house of some families especially if it was the anniversary of death. Does that mean this mansion was meant to be sold for such a purpose?

Parking my car near the mansion, my body felt the chills. But it was due to the excessive mana in the place. After training my body and also awakening my abilities, I am quite sensitive to mana and can easily detect it. So even if normal people will only feel the chills, I will detect both the chills and the mana it exudes out.

"Damn, the mana is too thick. Which paranormal entity might have caused this stuff?"

Entering the gate, I felt like the whole place is trying to pressure me. Due to this, I think the entity here is a malevolent one. Malevolent spirits are not just a bad thing to have, they are dangerous. I quickly materialize my weapon and assumed a battle stance. Although I seem like I am an exorcist right now, I don't know how to exorcise a spirit.

I surveyed the outside of the mansion and I am grinning from ear to ear. This mansion is indeed a natural place that is producing mana. So any entity who stays here for quite some time, whether they are malevolent or not, they would get really strong here and will make themselves territorial if they felt threatened.

"Heh, this vibe I am getting, this is pretty similar when I clear my current mansion against the undead and corpses. The only thing different is that there are no monsters around to kill."

Since the purpose of this visitation is to check whether I would like to purchase the place or not, I was also given the key to the mansion and check out what it looks like inside. With the outside of the mansion surveyed, the next place to check is the interior of the mansion itself.

CLICK!

The door opens and the dust that has been accumulating in nearby areas started floating above the air. It seems like this place was cleaned up outside but the inside is not. Maybe due to the malevolent energy surrounding the place, the people who regularly clean here are terrified to even clean the place up.

The interior of the house is quite normal though it is less extravagant compared to the mansion I bought in Tokyo. It is still classy for a Japanese house but it is not that classy that anyone would catch the attention of someone.

Somehow, the malevolent energy seems to spread out a lot the moment I entered. And although I know there won't be an enemy that will dive out to me to kill me, the place is unsettling. Now I can understand why the people that tried to live here decided to back out after staying here for a night. Anyone who has no iron gut would be scared shitless here.

The first-floor survey is done and there are no abnormal things happening at all. Aside from the cold air blowing from time to time, there isn't much incident that would make me say that made me terrified.

But things started to escalate when I started climbing up the stairs to the second floor.

"My movement is getting sluggish as I keep climbing up. It seems like something else is currently holding me back from moving. Is this somehow the cause of the entity of the house trying to keep me away from this place?"

As I mumbled those, the pressure was reduced a bit before returning to its usual pressure.

"...so that is how you respond huh, f*ck..."

Since the pressure is just trying to force me to go out, I decided to fight back literally. You might not have a body for me to hit my weapon with but at least you might get affected by magic spells.

I retract the Versatile Weapon and dematerialized it, and in exchange, conjure the electricity on my palms.

"There is no such thing as ghosts in my vocabulary! Go and toast yourself!"

I slam my palms to the floor and the second floor was engulfed in electric shock. Since there is no one in this mansion, I won't be hitting any innocent individuals here. Just the jerk who keeps trying to scare me and torment me with the pressure. My mana has been tremendously increased so doing something like this is nothing.

"YELP!"

When I heard a sound, I stopped my electric shock and locate the location where the sound of some kind of pained dog. I know there are no dogs around here since I can detect if there are any individual or a creature around the place. I also made sure that my attack earlier would only hit no one else. So it must be the ethereal creature that has been causing the ruckus. Besides, after doing that, the pressure disappeared.

"Finally, this prankster paranormal entity is caught!"

I kicked one of the doors open after detecting something different on the fifth door in the second room. Materializing my Versatile Weapon, what appears before me is a big teddy bear. Yep, a teddy bear. It is a lifesize teddy bear. What is weird is that the teddy bear is the only thing present in the room, nothing else but this huge teddy bear.

"Ah sh*t, here we go again."

BANG!

I attacked the teddy bear and all of a sudden, the bear defended.

"I knew it, you are the entity that has been causing trouble with me since I arrived in this mansion."

PENG!

We exchange a flurry of blows before I backtrack. The teddy bear is also backtracking before assuming a fighting stance once again.

"I thought you would be an easy opponent, but it seems like I found a very worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!"

The teddy bear made the move first and we started trading blows once again. It was just pure physical though I materialize the form of Versatile Weapon into a knuckle. Even though the teddy bear seems to be made from soft material, its flurry of attacks is painful and felt like a real punch. But with my strengthened body, I am capable of catching all of its blows head-on without succumbing to injuries.

We exchanged punches and kicks for a few hours. I don't know how long until the two of us fall down, huffing and puffing out of tiredness.

"That was the best fistfight I have done in my whole life."

The teddy bear also nodded and we just lay there for a while.

"How about a truce. For a fighter like you, it would be a shame if we don't fight like this for some time, it would be great!"

The teddy bear nodded and we both clasped our hands. That day, I made a friend that I wouldn't imagine I would get in my whole life. I just befriended a paranormal entity.
