Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Episode 18

No, that person?

I tried to hide my embarrassment, and first developed a basic defensive technique. I asked the question in that state.

“Isn’t that a no-brainer for me?”

“Huh. Nothing special. I’ll put my name on it, and I’ll give you a score based on fairness, taking into account all situations and circumstances. So, don’t feel burdened and just show your skills to your heart’s content, right?”

If that’s the case then there shouldn’t be much of a problem. I just had to change the tactic I had been thinking about a bit.

‘I already think my grades are stable, but it’s not good to get a low score just in case you don’t know.’

In order to take the Exorcist Qualification Test, which will be held in the future, I had to get out of the current D class and upgrade to a higher class.

Therefore, apart from various incidents, it is necessary to get good grades first.

I watched the situation and read the mood. Most of the attention was focused on me, but surprisingly, no student attacked me straight away.

‘indeed. Is that the intention?’

The rule that simultaneous attacks against one person are impossible. That was exquisite.

Attacking someone in this battle royale-style trial meant that the chance of being targeted increases soon.

‘If you attack me, at the same time, you become a delicious target for other students.’

Also, because of that one rule, it is impossible to play a hyena that hits the last hit in the middle of a so-called fight.

What does that mean?

The students who wanted extra points meant that the students who attacked me had to be dealt with first before they could target me.

‘I became a public target, but at the same time, all of them became my shield.’

If this is the case, there will be no problem for me to focus only on defense in the early fight.

There was no way for the other students to see me suffer the same, even for myself to get extra points.

‘It’s definitely an interesting composition.’

The interesting match that Dahye Ko was talking about would have meant the same thing. It was slightly admirable.

a moment of silence.

But the word “additional point” was too sweet a bait.

In the end, one student who could not resist the temptation cursed my doll.

“Scary!”

A basic curse that amplifies the subject’s anxiety and causes confusion.

It wasn’t a powerful type, but it was better to block it completely, since I didn’t know the limit of the damage that the straw doll could accept.

In addition to the already laid out defense techniques, I came up with one more suitable technique and developed it.

tsuzu.

Pasch.

“Um, are you okay?”

While the student whose spell was shredded was embarrassed, someone who was looking for an opportunity immediately aimed at the attacker’s doll.

It was obviously a student named Seo Jin-young who was in class B.

“… Scary!”

profit.

Due to the lack of proper defense, the doll of the student who attacked me began to burn slightly.

“Bae, Hwajin Baek… ”

“I’m scared.”

Whoops!

It was a student who was trying to defend the Baekhwajin scene late, but it was faster for Seo Jin-young’s final blow to enter. Eventually, the doll was completely burned out and the first dropout was decided.

After that, it was a complete mess.

“Scary!”

“Baekhwajinkyung!”

“Alcohol for four weeks.”

Seo Jin-young, who made the first kill, was attacked, and someone else who aimed at the student developed a curse again.

A march of catching tails with full bites and bites. In the midst of this, I also took advantage of the opportunity and removed the sane students one by one.

“I’m scared.”

Whoops!

“what? I was definitely blocking it!”

I’m sorry, but my cowardice is quite different from that of other students.

The efficiency of the technique itself was also different, and the correction was made thanks to the high financial value.

Whoops!

“ah. Seed.”

Hwareuk!

“uh? Who is this?”

If there were any clearly visible gaps, they would make a surprise attack, and otherwise, they always maintained an ironclad defensive posture.

A total of three students were caught that way.

It’s time to feel that this is enough and focus on defense again. Someone shot a painstakingly developed curse at my doll.

“Sahokdo Gongrae (私惑到恐來).”

The devil’s work. It was a technique that could be seen as a high-level compatibility of the cowardly, overflowing the negative emotions of the victim.

I marveled at the quite powerful energy and blocked it.

“Baekhwajinkyung.”

Whoops.

Pasch.

“… OMG.”

In the distance, I saw a student looking at me like a monster. The only class A taking goldsmiths courses. it was bloody

I couldn’t help but look at it like that. Because of the correction, at this level, what do you do about being blocked by using almost any magic?

After that, after repeating the workshop several times, the end began to appear in the end.

There are three remaining students.

Pi Yu-jin from Class A and Ji-an Seo from Class B. And I was in D class.

Murmur.

Murmur.

[Wow. To be honest, I didn’t know if I was good at it, but it deserves an extra point.]

[He just didn’t break through the defense? What kind of drink are you using… … .]

[Even if it’s limited to goldsmiths, it’s definitely not a D-class. I will take the promotion test soon.]

It was surprising that Seo Ji-an remained. Of course, the ability itself was class A, so I could have done that, but it seemed that he had taken the class quite seriously.

The moment when they look at each other and face each other. The first curse came upon me.

flinch.

Not towards the straw doll used in the match, but at the body itself.

‘what?’

I panicked and developed a mental defense technique. But it broke right away. I could feel the curse rising up through my body.

pass.

Shrek.

It’s not serious. As I took out the spiritual power I had stored in the barricade, I thought of the Haeju magic, which is one of the best things I can use right now.

tsuzu.

“The Six Characters Great Ming Mantra.”

woah ah.

Crisp!

It was then that the curse that had barely engulfed his body was broken.

There was no way Seo Ji-an or Pi Yu-jin would have developed such a heinous curse. The moment I opened my mouth, feeling abnormal, Dahye Ko shouted in an urgent tone ahead of her.

“stop!”

Then he looked around quickly and showed a questioning expression on his face.

“… There is no one, but who is it?”

At that moment, Eugene Pi, who was next to me, suddenly grabbed my neck and started to groan.

“Kek! Heck!”

When I glanced around, I saw black squirrels wriggling at some point, climbing up Pi Yu-jin’s neck.

Dahye Ko ran quickly, checked her condition, and prepared a drink for Haeju.

“Dare you, you attack me with a curse?”

As Ko Da-hye took out the straw doll and brought it to her, the patterns that flowed through Pi Yu-jin’s body were quickly absorbed into the doll.

Ko Da-hye, who picked it up, proceeded with the ceremony again. It was probably the sort of backtracking of the opponent.

“Huh. I found it.”

👌👌👌👌👌👌

Whoops.

When she spit black talismans everywhere and uttered the starter words, a barrier was formed around the students.

Before the evaluation started, the assistant who had handed us the dolls approached Dahye Ko. Koh Da-hye instructed such an assistant.

“A request for assistance?”

“I have reported it to a nearby security guard.”

“You don’t seem human, do you? It’ll probably be a C or D class. It’s crouching by the lake. I will cast a curse on you in reverse, so go and subdue it.”

“All right.”

If it is a lake, it is the place where Seo Ji-an and I had a conversation earlier. I used the emotion function to watch the fast-running tide.

’emotion.’

tyring.

【Method: C+】

▶Characteristics (4/10)

【Iron core (B+)】

[steel bone (C-)]

A level C or D-class youkai can deal with. Also, there seemed to be no problem since there would be support from Da-hye Ko, who was over level 40.

‘Did something like this happen?’

Pretending to be, you are a cursed monster.

Perhaps it was because he was stimulated by a battle with a curse in the immediate vicinity and jumped out.

However, in the original story, such events are not particularly memorable. Then there will be no major casualties.

At the same time, Dahye Ko reassured the students as if it was nothing special.

“It’s okay~ It will be sorted out soon, so let’s wait patiently.”

But there was a catch.

The six-character great mantra that I used earlier is a fairly powerful intermediate-level spell. The curse that targeted me was completely dispelled, and the other party must have felt it as well.

And yet, he immediately attacked Pi Yu-jin again?

‘Unless you have no intelligence at all, it means that you have quite a bit of confidence.’

The number of heads is also overwhelming here. There’s no way you can’t even know it instinctively.

My anxiety soon turned into reality.

“Kek! Great!”

Clearly, even though Ko Da-hye was protected by the shielding technique, one of the students started showing the same symptoms as the former Pi Yu-jin.

“Uh, huh?”

Embarrassed, Ko Da-hye hurriedly cursed her. But the attack did not stop there.

“Keek!”

“Cool!”

“How can it be like this, how can you all break through the barriers… … .”

Dahye Ko kept her hands busy and repeated the procedure, but her hands were not enough. Eventually, as soon as the gap was visible, the black magic began to penetrate Dahye’s body.

“ね!”

Of course, Koh Da-hye was not easy. As soon as I realized it, I immediately used the magic trick that I did for myself.

However, his appearance was not that of a person who could afford it.

‘I can’t stand this.’

If we simply measure the strength of the curse, it is weaker than the attack that came before me. It shouldn’t be a problem for Professor Dahye Koh.

However, as Koh Da-hye’s barrier became useless, she lacked her hands to protect her students.

‘If you look at the situation, it would be correct to think that his assistant Heo Tae-yeop was also hit.’

In other words, it was said that this was helpless until the support I requested earlier came.

“professor! Support?”

“Wow, it’s in the mountains, so it’s going to take a while… … .”

Those who were barely enduring on their own were only A-class Pi Yu-jin or Seo Ji-an with the same level of ability.

I turned my gaze to look at Dahye Koh’s face. It was a look of complete ruin.

It was then that I remembered a fact I had forgotten.

‘Yes, it was definitely mentioned in the original.’

The details of the situation were not expressed. But when I thought about it well, there was a passage that I could guess.

The first semester comprehensive exam, that is, before the Yeongwol-do incident begins. Rumors that helped change the mood of the game and give players a sense of suspense.

It was a story about students who had gone out of school at the time of the midterm evaluation and had an accident, resulting in numerous casualties.

‘That was a goldsmiths class.’

Obviously, among the murdered, a class A student and an associate professor were included, so it was McGuffin, which was also used as a device to foretell the Yeongwol Island incident in the future, giving anxiety to the first-year A-class protagonists as well.

‘That means that support doesn’t come on time.’

The ending is decided.

Unless someone changes it.

Da-hye Ko, who is busy protecting her students, can no longer use her hands or feet.

In other words, I was the only one who could move now.

Seo Ji-an looked at me with a strange expression on her face with an uncomfortable look.

“There is Yoo Ah-in nearby.”

“Are you asking me to take that?”

“… You won’t want to fall from my side.”

After all, it cannot be concluded that there is only one enemy in the lake. If you are Yoo Ah-in, who puts Seo Ji-an first, the sacrifices of others will be behind the scenes.

‘But if this happens, I’m in danger too.’

In fact, it is certain that Koh Da-hye’s limitations will come first before the support comes.

Judging from the remarks that there were multiple casualties in the original work, there was a high possibility that the Yokai in the lake would attack this place to take advantage of the gap.

‘Now I can afford to respond somehow.’

However, my spiritual energy was constantly being consumed to block the curse that came in from before.

One of my biggest weaknesses right now is the amount of spiritual power.

The moment it diminishes, I lose control of the situation on my own. It was dangerous.

I made a quick decision.

‘It’s safer to deal with that while fighting with Dahye Ko.’

To Seo Ji-an, who suddenly approached me, I said with a calm look.

“It could be a little dangerous. Do you want to help?”

“… I can’t help it. It will be difficult without you.”

After all, I decided to make a new trump card in preparation for the Yeongwol Island incident.

‘Since it’s a type of magic, it must be useful.’

The third method of ministering to the shikigami, as mentioned before.

‘Catch it and see.’

It was time to try local procurement.
