Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Episode 16

Murmur.

Murmur.

[Wow, how the hell did you win the deal? Does this make sense?]

[This is the first time I’ve seen someone from a famous family lose to a regular student in a face-to-face match.]

Everyone was surprised by the results.

But he looked confused because he couldn’t understand the contents.

‘Hwanmong (幻夢) ceremonies overlapped in two layers, so it must have been almost invisible from the outside.’

The fainted Cheong Haram was awakened by Choi Do-won’s simple treatment. Then he returned to his place without a word, with a face that seemed to have lost his momentum.

“I didn’t stop, but my hands were overworked. It’s a deduction.”

It was Choi Do-won, who caught the pod again, but even he showed a sign that he did not understand.

Murmur.

[Didn’t you write something cowardly? I’m dubious. It’s conceptually impossible.]

[Then you don’t know. Winning is winning. The result is points.]

[Everything, not a fortune teller.]

[…] … I’ll just shut my mouth.]

In the midst of a mixture of surprise and doubt, I leisurely returned to my seat.

Looking at the results, it was a sufficient achievement, but it was not enough.

‘I barely won by robbing myself of what I had.’

Two of the three Hwanmokmaw were removed, and Toseo, the Hive Food God, was also in poor condition.

Considering the effort and goods put into making it, the damage was huge.

‘Besides, I lacked spiritual power.’

With a complicated mind, I looked at the brightly colored beads on my wrist.

’emotion.’

tyring.

[bari ball ring]

▶ Each bead stores a certain amount of spiritual power, so it can be taken out and used when the wearer wants.

▶Remaining amount (1/8)

Among the Joogu sent with the elixir by Chungha, Bari Ok-hwan thought it was the perfect fit for me.

All eight marbles were charged to participate in the match, but all but one were used up.

Even after thorough preparation, it was a pretty close fight.

‘I only want to struggle like this to the current level of Chung Haram.’

Although Chung Haram was a talented person, he had a clear strategy and was easy to deal with. Also, the level isn’t that high yet.

However, the enemies you might face in the future were not at this level.

‘It’s not enough.’

Bi-hyung, who will cause the Yeongwol-do incident in the first semester comprehensive exam, has the strength to comfortably deal with Cheong Haram with just one hand.

‘Of course, the comprehensive exam will be conducted only after all the midterm evaluations have been completed.’

But it’s only a few weeks away.

Will he be able to become strong enough to survive on Yeongwol Island, the last stage of story chapter 1, within that time?

Can you bring all the necessary main supporting actors alive?

‘I’ll have to scramble.’

While I was contemplating, the faculty who cleared the ground of the arena resumed the match.

After my match with Chung Haram ended, the result was relatively non-reversal.

So, all the second graders finished the competition, and the first graders, who can be said to be the main characters of Exorcism 1, finally started.

‘After all, the supporting actors in the original stand out.’

Ha-on Yoo, the main character, and Eun-seo Baek, who always stands by her side.

In addition, Woo-seop Hwang, from the Hwang family, and Johan, an exchange student from the United States.

Lastly, Cheongjuhwa, who was deliberately holding his breath in Class B.

Han Seo-ah, who is closely related to me, was also one of the main characters in the first year, but as the original setting, she did not participate in the comprehensive combat practice class.

“It took a long time. Now it’s the last. First-year students, start with the top-ranking students, and choose the person you like best from the second year.”

After all the long matches were over, the final stage of the mid-term evaluation of comprehensive combat practice, the inter-grade battle, began.

“… I want to compete with Hwang Ji-hak.”

In the midst of a fierce battle between each and every one of them. Surprisingly, no one chose me as an easy prey.

The reason was simple.

“Stir. Chung Haram senior? Will you be okay?”

“… … under.”

It was because the first-year A-class student who had chosen Chung Haram, who had been in poor condition all along, literally had a harpoon.

Murmur. murmur.

[what! Are you saying you’re not feeling well?]

[Wow… … It took less than three minutes.]

[Also, the top 2nd graders have different grades. What did that person do to win? It was said that last year was completely abandoned.]

After a brief match, Haram Chung went back to the dormitory after finishing the evaluation first because he was not in good condition.

It was an added bonus that Cheongju-hwa, who had missed the opportunity to face him, was disappointed.

[Still, it’s D-class, so I was going to try it once, but I’ll just quit.]

[Is not it. I got points, but it’s not a gamble.]

In addition to being reevaluated unintentionally, I was originally from Class D, so even if I won anyway, it didn’t look good. Because of that, the students seemed to think that it was a choice that was not going to benefit them.

But there was one person who didn’t care.

It was Baek Eun-seo.

“Hey, come down.”

Somehow, the feeling of looking at me was cheap.

In a somewhat anticipated situation, I sighed and got up from my seat and headed to the arena.

The students once again turned their attention to the interesting match that happened suddenly.

However, having already made the decision, I lightly betrayed everyone’s expectations.

“I will abstain.”

“I beg your pardon?”

Baek Eun-seo looked at me like a fool, and it was the same with Professor Choi Do-won.

“Abstention?”

“Yes.”

The reason was simple.

‘I don’t like the match.’

When it comes to fighting, I can try to struggle, but the most difficult thing to deal with with my hand right now is the fighter, the white one.

As I said, the fight against Chung Haram consumed a lot of food and body. If he had to compete with Baek Eun-seo in this state, there was a possibility of losing the other shikigami he had saved.

‘Of course, the trump card still remains, but this is not the time to waste resources in a place like this.’

Food spirits are not something that can be extracted indefinitely. You have to stay alive as much as possible until the end of Chapter 1, which is coming soon.

Julies, a professor in charge of barriers, who was standing next to me at my resolute answer, opened her mouth with an expression of regret.

“Are you serious? We’ve already fought a fierce battle, so it’ll be a bit of an exaggeration, but the score will be cut a lot.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Eh? Where is it!”

Baek Eun-seo was angry, but it wasn’t something she could get involved in except for me to abstain.

In the end, Eun-seo Baek had no choice but to choose another opponent to play.

“The winner is Eunseo Baek. Next, Hyunmin Shin. Come out and choose your opponent.”

And finally, the person I had been paying attention to was called out.

Hyunmin Shin, a student who belongs to class A with a pull-up, but remains at the bottom of that class.

Curiously, he selected a student from the lower ranks of A-class in the second year, and from the start, he quickly pushed his opponent and broke everyone’s expectations and won the victory.

“The match is over. The winner is Shin Hyun-min.”

“Wow, the last time I glanced at it, it wasn’t like this. have you really grown? What do you usually train for?”

In a match like this, there are not many cases where a first-year student beats a second-year student. At most, it is the result when a top-ranking first-year student chooses a tough opponent.

Seeing it, I was sure.

‘After all, this has not changed.’

Aside from the original Han Kang-yoon, one of the three remaining victims who were sacrificed to the victim.

Such Shin Hyun-min’s activity seemed to signal the beginning of the incident, and it was heartbreaking.

***

After the midterm evaluation of Comprehensive Combat Practice, I had the busiest time since I fell into this world.

‘After all, I’m going to die.’

Interim evaluation of other elective subjects had to be done, the remaining sacrifices that Bi-hyung touched had to be marked, and he had to increase his own strength, which was lacking somehow.

‘It’s been so long since I’ve been so busy.’

Although I was terrified, it wasn’t really difficult to get an evaluation score.

Because I was able to bring out all the magic knowledge I used in the game with the Intracerebral Scheme Library, I was able to find the right answer in most situations.

Progress has also been made in determining the status of preliminary offerings.

Shin Hyun-min, a first-year class A, and Choi Il-mok, a second-year class D class like me.

‘And even James, who is in the position of a professor who has to protect his students, holding his brother’s hand.’

The three of them clearly confirmed that they had already made contact with Bihyung.

There was still one other person left to replace me, but as the scope of the investigation was gradually narrowing, it seemed that the identity could be identified sooner or later.

But not everything was going well. That was the third thing.

‘There is really no progress in increasing my power.’

Actually I couldn’t help it. My knowledge was already overflowing, and I took all the elixir that Jeong-ha gave me that I could use.

All that was left was to make shikigami, but until the Yeongwoldo incident, the types and number of shikigami that could be made were limited.

So I was looking for an answer elsewhere.

“I don’t feel that way. Oh, how am I supposed to explain this?”

“No, let’s go. This is probably wrong.”

Using one-on-one exchange classes, I tried to learn the technique of cheongju-hwa, who has the best talent in terms of craftsmanship, but to no avail.

It was something I couldn’t possibly follow.

‘It’s difficult.’

Preparations are well underway.

But I’m not sure if this will be enough.

This is because the unconfirmed characteristic of Yu Ha-on, which was originally to be bloomed through the Yeongwol-do incident, did not exist now.

Something 2% is missing.

I was able to find the clue in an alchemy class I never thought of.

“Come on, everyone, show me what color the marbles have changed. In the future, I will keep checking it whenever there is an exam or at the end of each semester.”

One marble in each student’s hand.

What this was, was the stone of goldsmiths.

’emotion.’

tyring.

【Stone of the gold industry】

▶Ore that responds to the weight of sin. Those who come into contact with taboos and accumulate karma deeply emit intense colors when in contact.

Simply put, that’s it.

There is a kind of ‘sin’ figure in the Exorcism game.

The more you immerse your feet in gold magic or commit a terrible sin, the higher the number will be.

‘The higher the number, the more the subject’s mind will fall into a state of contamination.’

In addition, in return, they will have high resistance and aptitude against curses and various types of magic.

“Everyone has worked hard for two months to learn and come across taboos, so hopefully there will be a very pale yellow color~?”

“When you say that, it feels like we have committed a crime… … .”

“Well, in fact, anyone who has changed even the slightest color needs treatment right away.”

For this reason, it seemed that the goldsmith class regularly checked the students’ mental states using the goldsmith’s stone.

“What color is the professor?”

“Huh. That’s a good question. I am a yellow that is starting to take on an orangeish tint. Since then, I have always been a professor of goldsmiths.”

“Wow… … So which color is the most dangerous?”

“Well. From what I have seen in person, it would be a deep red color.”

“What did he do?”

“I changed a state in the United States with gold magic that gathered the hearts of 10,000 people. From then on, it’s indigo blue and purple, so there are a lot of things I say, but I’ve never actually seen it~”

Hearing those words, I secretly broke into a cold sweat.

Even so, the color of the stone I was holding.

‘… Why is this again?’

Because it was not red, indigo, or purple, it was dark black.
