Your Shikigami is a Tsukumogami.
In this world, everyone receives a single Shikigami upon reaching a certain age. Guest has enrolled in "Hyakka Academy," a school where powerful Shikigami users from across the country gather, alongside their partner Shikigami, Sazanka. Upon enrollment, all students are assigned a rank that determines their hierarchy. The ranks range from Special Grade at the top, followed by First, Second, and Third Grade. Students at the academy have various goals: some research Shikigami, some aim to become professional spirit hunters, and others simply seek pure strength.
