I don't have much power left... but I'll help you as much as I can. If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here. I'm not human... but I'm still technically your teacher.

Ah no. I'll hand you my Yorishiro. But...my revenge will be utilizing the P.A System to tell the whole school what I already know. So if I were you I'd give me something to sink my teeth into. But it would also be funny if you don't. HA HA HA HA. HAAAH
Tsuchigomori is a supernatural, masquerading as a middle school teacher in Kamome Academy. He is Kou's homeroom teacher and teaches biology. His real identity is School Mystery Number 5, the 4PM Bookstacks' curator. He might not have been the original curator for the mystery, as he notes any curator who tampers with future events would be removed. He admits to adopting a human disguise to circulate his own rumor in order to stay on the Near Shore.
He has been teaching at Kamome Gakuen for a long time, even back in 1969. His hair looked different in the past and his public persona was more in-line with his real personality. Then, he was the homeroom teacher of a peculiar student. He did his best to provide guidance to and looked out for the student to no avail. When the student managed to change his own future, it shocked Tsuchigomori deeply and forever changed his yorishiro as a result.
Alignment:Neutral Good (Tsuchigomori is a character that doesn't have an issue with following the rules that are set by Hanako and the other Wonders. However, he also doesn't have an issue with going with slightly more extreme methods like blackmailing things to get his way, truamatizing students to fun, upon other things. Though, as a School Wonder, he is tasked with protecting the school from evil spirits and making sure that the students of the school are safe.
Classification: Teacher, Super Natural, School Wonder, Mr. Spider
Attack Potency: At least Wall level, likely Higher (Scales to the other School wonders who able able to break walls and fight supernaturals on the same level. Scales to Mitsuba, who was able to hit Kou so hard that he broke a wall. Tsuchigomori was able to destroy a giant butterfly being causally in one hit even though said being was many times taller than him) | Multi-Solar System level (Tsuchigomori should scale to the other 7 Wonders, who are able to maintain their boundaries with their own power. These boundaries contain several star systems and are shown to stronger in said boundaries)
Durability: At least Wall level, likely higher (Scales to the other 7 Wonders while outside of their boundaries, who are able to survive getting attack by other supernaturals of the same power level. Scales to Hanako, who was able to survive getting attacked by the Mermaid. The Mermaid was able to effortlessly destroy a classroom floor by just appearing. | Multi-Solar System level (Each of the 7 Wonders are able to survive their boundaries getting destroyed on top of them. Tsuchigomori was able to tank his boundary collapsing on top of him after Nene Yashiro destroyed his Yorishiro)
Striking Strength: At least Wall Class, likely higher | Multi-Solar System Class
Stamina:Limitless (Should scale to the other School Wonders, who are able to fight for many years without getting tired or needing sleep)
Range: High Multiversal+ (The books in the 4 O'clock Library are able to tell the futures of people even if they are outside of reality or in a different boundary. This is best seen when Nene Yashiro's book told the events of a huge festival that took place in a different boundary entirely. Boundaries are stated to be outside of reality entirely.
Intelligence: Cosmic (Tsuchigomori was able to create the books in the 4 O'clock Library, which is able to flawlessly tell the past, present, and future events that happen in reality. These books are also able to tell events that happen outside of reality such as events that happen in a boundary or a boundary rift)
Resistance to (Due to being a School Wonder, Tsuchigomori doesn't need rumors in order to exist and he is not affected by his rumor changing. Scales to Hanako and Shijima Mei, who were able to resist their rumors completely. Hanako's rumor says that he was a girl who grants wishes with an orb. Hanako turned out to be a boy who doesn't grant wishes with an orb despite his rumors saying so. Shijima Mei rejected her rumors casually, stating that she doesn't care for the rumors), RegenerationNegation and Irreversible Damage (Tsuchigomori, along with the other supernaturals, is able to regenerate after the severance, which is supposed to completely stop you from regenerating back), Purification (Tsuchigomori was able to be unaffected by Kou Minamoto's abilities after touching the power itself), Soul Manipulation (Was fine after getting hit with an attack from an exorcist. Should scale to Hanako, who was able to take multiple soul destruction attacks that negate your resistance to soul based attacks), Resistance Negation (Tsuchigomori maintained his resistances against opponents who can negate the resistances of other characters. Many of the Yokai were able to negate the resistances of exorcists and Tsuchigomori was able to beat the perfectly fine. He was able to keep his resistances in his fight against Kou and Teru Minamoto), Curse Manipulation (Should scale to the other School Wonders, who are able to resist curses that are put on them. This can be best seen when Hanako was able to resist the Mermaid's Curse. This curse turns the character into a fish like creature and forces them to serve the Mermaid for all of eternity. When Nene Yashiro was turned into a fish, Hanako stated that he'd share the curse with Nene in order to make her life as normal as possible. He also states, that whenever you get wet when cursed, you'd turn into a fish instantly. We see that Hanako gets wet multiple times and he has been shown to be perfectly fine), Power Nullification (Should be comparable to the other School Wonders, who are able to use their abilities in other boundaries. Tsukasa was able to use his power in the Fourth Wonder's boundary, which passively nullifies abilities. This can be best seen when Nene Yashiro's powers to become a fish was gone after going into Shijima Mei's boundary. Tsuchigomori was able to use his abilities right after touching the abilities of Kou Minamoto), Observation (Due to being a School Wonder, Tsuchigomori is able to resist his rumors and isn't bound to them. Rumors shape reality in the universe. Everyone in the verse is able to use or manipulate rumors, even normal people. Most supernaturals rely on them in order to exist in the human world and they can't normally go against them. They can manipulate the truth of the world and can rewrite history itself), Fear and Perception Manipulation (Scales to Hanako, who was fine in the 3rd Wonder's Boundary. The Third Wonder's boundary, The Hell of Mirrors, shows the fear and wickedness in a person's mind and manifests said fears into real life. It was stated that if a person has a lot of guilt and fear in their hearts, the boundary will become stronger. Hanako has been shown to have lots of guilt and regrets and it was stated if he were to go in there, everyone would instantly die. However, he was still unaffected by the boundary), Law Manipulation and Reality Warping (Tsuchigomori lives close to the far shore. Teru states that supernaturals that live in Tsuchigomori's boundary doesn't follow the laws of the human world and they can actively go against them. He should also scale to the other School Wonders, who are able to use their abilities in other boundaries), Mind Manipulation (Every School Wonder's Yorishiro is able to protect them from the mind manipulation that was coming from the Hell of Mirrors), Time Manipulation (Via Extra-Temporal speed)
Books in the 4 O'clock Library: Tsuchigomori always has access to the books in his boundary that can flawlessly tell a person's past, present, or future. These books can't be altered and can be summoned even after his Yorishiro is destroyed
Supernatural Butterflies: Tsuchigomori can create supernatural butterflies to guide a person to a specific area. If threatened, the butterflies can combine into one big monster that is a copy of a random person in the area. These butterflies are able to regenerate endlessly until Tsuchigomori destroys or despells them away from the fight

Standard Tactics:
Tsuchigomori will let sit in the back and let the butterflies take care of his opponent while studying them. If that's not enough then he will sneak attack the opponent and hit their weakpoint.
Weaknesses:
If Tsuchigomori's Yorishiro is broken, he will become far weaker and will be vulnerable. The only way to break said Yorishiro is to be bonded to a School Wonder.
Trivia
His favorite snack is bekko candy.
His latest concern is how hard it is to live a double life as a teacher and a Supernatural.
His name is a reference to the yōkai Tsuchigumo/Earth Spider (土蜘蛛) but with the phonetic 'go' (five) substituted in as a nod to his school mystery number.
He hates loud noises, so he doesn't take too well to lightning. The same can be said for his fear of cars, noting them for their fast speed.
