Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Episode 30

Cheongdam 2nd Defense Guard.

As Myeongsaek is an institution in charge of a district in Seoul, the people in charge of this place are quite special.

‘In a word, elite collective possession.’

It is a place where only prominent families, including the three major families, and talented people who have proven excellence through training institutions in various places can enter.

As it is a densely populated area, the importance of defense was also high.

‘It is also a course to go through at least once for those who want a higher position.’

When it comes to the defense forces of the metropolitan area and other densely populated areas, even first- and second-class exorcists are members of the crew, so it means that you have said everything.

‘And here, sooner or later, big things happen.’

An A+ rank youkai red demon. Due to his sudden appearance, a danger warning is issued throughout Seoul.

Naturally, the main forces of the nearby defense forces also hurriedly assemble to prevent damage. This creates a hole in the protection system.

‘And through that gap, a ghost comes out of the world and hides.’

That’s the bulldokkaebi.

It was my personal goal.

“Do you think it’s all over?”

I met Cheongju-hwa at the academy, filled out the entry and exit book, and took a taxi to the guardhouse.

What you see after arriving is the clean and objective appearance of the building. It is truly a public institution.

‘Like real-life police and firefighters, it’s not an easy job here.’

It’s a very difficult and dangerous job, but that’s why it gets more recognition in the world.

As I was moved by the appearance of the guards in real life, not in-game, a young woman in her 20s appeared from inside the building.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Ji-hye Seo, a level 3 exorcist who will be in charge of you during the internship period.”

“hello.”

Cheongjuhwa lightly greeted me, and I also slightly bowed my head.

Seo Ji-hye smiled as if she had been decorated, and continued her conversation a little bluntly.

“I don’t know if you’ve heard the news, but because of the recent situation, it’s probably hard for other people to care about the two of them. So if you have any questions, just ask me.”

“yep. thank you.”

A slightly dissatisfied expression. It didn’t seem that he was very satisfied with his visit at an already unstable time.

As we entered the building, the first thing we did was explain the structure of the guardhouse.

To us, who were given basic information such as roles and tasks between departments, Seo Ji-hye immediately offered the next task with a sly smile.

“Now, what do you think is the first thing you should do when you enter the defense force for the first time?”

“uh… … . patrol?”

Seo Ji-hye shook her head in response to Cheongju-hwa’s answer.

Then he brought a bunch of papers and said,

“It’s just computational work.”

“ah… … .”

After pouring out a brief complaint, Seo Ji-hye looked at me and Cheongju-hwa and spoke with a smile on her face.

“So, first of all, let’s pretend we’re learning and let’s deal with these together, shall we?”

“Ah, yes… … .”

For the next day or so, we had to devote all of our time to a mountain of work that had no end in sight.

***

It’s been four days since I left for defense training.

Now that I’m not used to it, I’m just doing my work mechanically.

“Why are you so good?”

Looking at it, it was a look that didn’t make sense. That’s the first time I’ve seen and heard of unfamiliar tasks, so I was the only one who was able to easily handle them.

But I couldn’t help it.

‘I should have done enough to get tired of playing the game.’

Throughout the series, the garrison story appeared quite a few times. From my point of view, of course, I had no choice but to have that much background knowledge.

Also, social life experiences cannot be ignored. Even my job was the production company that made this Exorcism series, so I really felt like I was back at home.

“Looks like it’s right for you.”

“Eh… … ?”

It was Cheongju-hwa, which showed a subtly questionable face, but soon seemed to agree as if it could not be done.

I was lost in thought as I watched her grumble and concentrate on her work again.

‘It’s not bad.’

Seo Ji-hye, who is in charge of us now, is probably the youngest member of the defense force. Just looking at it, I got the hang of it.

‘It’s more convenient that way.’

A busy atmosphere for four days without a break, perhaps the matter in question will happen sooner or later, and most of Seo Ji-hye’s upper-line exorcists will be absent with on-site support.

Maybe Seo Ji-hye will play the role of forming the second defense line and waiting for patrol in this area?

‘It might be easier than I thought.’

The reason why I had to leave behind many other defense units and come to the busy Cheongdam 2nd Defense Unit was simple.

This was because the 2nd Defense Guard was in charge of the area where bulldokkaebi first appeared.

‘What if most of the other crew members are absent due to the appearance of an A+ rank monster after a few days?’

Of course, the role of discovering and responding to the bully goes to Seo Ji-hye Line, who is in charge of the backup near the garrison.

It really is the perfect situation for me.

As I was thinking like that, Seo Ji-hye, who seemed to have something to say, appeared in the corner of my vision.

‘Slowly.’

The time has finally come to move.

***

“I’m better than I thought… … .”

It’s been four days since the practice started.

Seeing Han Kang-yun and Cheong Ju-hwa silently handling basic tasks, Seo Ji-hye muttered without realizing it.

‘No, really, why are you so good?’

I’ve heard it’s definitely the first practice, but it doesn’t look like that at all. To be honest, I was amazed.

In particular, I wondered if Han Kang-yoon had already spent at least a few years in the defense force.

‘He can’t blame him for anything. tp.’

He didn’t want to admit it, but that was much better than his freshman days. He was a very smart person.

‘If a kid like that came in as my successor, I’d feel better.’

At first, I didn’t like Han Kang-yoon, who had crawled in while using his personal network to practice during a busy time.

However, it does not cause any problems, and rather, he is already helping out.

‘The 1st Defense Guard is very elated that they caught a large rookie this time.’

If Han Kang-yoon was really his successor, it would have been possible to shoot a single word at the 1st Defense Force, which was in full swing.

Anyway, it seemed like it was time to start working on other projects together. Seo Ji-hye shrugged her shoulders and approached Han Kang-yoon and Cheong Ju-hwa and said.

“I think you understand the basics of work now, right?”

“… desperately.”

“Then let’s try the other side to change the mood. I have to go outside, so please ask for permission first.”

Seo Ji-hye said to us who went outside after a simple procedure.

“The duties of the defense force are diverse, but ultimately, the safety of citizens is the most important goal.”

Then, what should be the most important thing for the safety of citizens in modern society?

It was really simple.

“From now on, we will patrol the first course. 2 courses in the evening, and 3 courses tomorrow. You’ve probably seen it a lot, so you know what it is, right?”

In order to respond most immediately to the appearance of the ghost, the exorcists of the Defense Guard divide into groups of 24 hours to patrol.

It is a regular and constant check of their area of responsibility.

Some may say it’s stupid, but it’s actually the most effective way.

Perhaps all of the people of the present generation, including Cheongju-hwa, grew up watching such a scene.

‘First of all, geography.’

Take this opportunity to go around the patrol course and keep the surrounding terrain in mind.

That way, you can move one step ahead when the bulldokkaebi appears, and it will be easier to select an area for engagement.

Following Seo Ji-hye’s guidance, me and Cheongju-hwa started patrolling.

Course 1, which is currently headed, was a route to check the entire residential area, focusing on the central shopping district, and I heard that it is a place that overlaps with the direct living area of the residents, so you should pay attention.

And in one such course, problems arose from the start.

Wow!

beep.

An emergency signal came on the terminal that Seo Ji-hye was carrying, and sirens and broadcasts began to sound on the street.

“Is it real?”

“yes. It’s probably our area… … , right there.”

Now it could be seen with the naked eye. A clearly revealed yokai is looking around to find its prey.

Not just one, but many individuals.

“Do, three at the same time?”

Seo Ji-hye looked visibly embarrassed.

Simultaneous appearance of youkai in a close area is inevitable as this is the first time she is the youngest member of the line.

‘… If this is the case, surely something will happen sooner or later.’

The appearance of an abnormal yokai is like an announcement of a foreshadowing of an event.

In order to move more easily later, I first show my skills here and earn my own trust.

After finishing my thoughts, I moved quickly, exchanging glances with the cheongju-hwa.

A total of three monsters appeared. And at the same time, there are also three exorcists here.

If that’s the case, it’s a simple story that only one person needs to take care of.

Whoops.

Seo Ji-hye turned her head in surprise to me and Cheong-ju-hwa, who immediately moved after sharing their gaze.

“Wait a moment… Ha, no, it did. Just hold on to it for a while! I’ll take the biggest one.”

Leaving behind the hastily shouting Seo Ji-hye, I muttered in my mind as I looked at the monster rolling my eyes in front of me.

’emotion.’

Tiling!

【Swordfish】

▶Level 35

▶ Ability

【Health: C】

【Yo power: C+】

【Method: D-】

【Spirit: C-】

▶Characteristics (3/10)

【Poison (B-)】

【Hardening (C)】

[steel bone (C-)]

It’s not a trivial level. It has enough threatening power. In particular, if you were hit by poison, which is a B-rank characteristic, you could be fatally injured in an instant.

However.

“Baekhwa Heat Wave (魄吙裂破).”

To be honest, it wasn’t a difficult opponent for me, now that the ability limit has been lifted to some extent through the Yeongwol Island incident.

Whoops!

Flutter!

“Keek!”

The swordfish, which spit out poison while barely avoiding the mid-level spells that were fired, was quite powerful, but it was a movement so obvious that it caused a yawn.

Whoops.

breakage.

I prepared a final blow by trapping poison with a simple barrier that I had pre-formed.

tsuzu.

Whoops.

“Sahokdo Gongrae (私惑到恐來).”

crispy!

“Keek-!”

The intermediate level of the curse that developed quickly hit the swordfish as it was. Thanks to the added power of the correction of the gold business figure, the opponent fell into a state of death with one shot.

Let’s see the other side while shooting one of the redemption formulas, and the situation was quickly sorted out.

One of the monsters, whose arms were cut off and tied tightly to dozens of chains, was given the final blow of the cheongju flower.

At the same time, Seo Ji-hye also hurriedly approached me after ordering the opponent she was facing.

“what… … .”

She looked quite surprised.

It’s not a strange reaction. If you’d say it’s at the level of first or second year students who usually take practice around this time, it’s only to the extent that they barely have an edge over D-class youkai.

It is not easy to organize it so effortlessly.

Seo Ji-hye, who had a blank expression for a moment, asked as if she did not understand.

“… Are all students like this these days?”

“Not likely.”

“her.”

She let out a sigh as if embarrassed by Cheongju-hwa’s bold answer.

The slight smile on her face was definitely not her mood.
