Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Episode 6

“So, what do you think?”

“It would be fair to say that I have no intention of doing anything right now. Otherwise, I would have reacted a little more uneasily the moment I realized I was hiding.”

When someone hides in the enemy camp and looks at you, it usually feels a little bit of a sense of crisis. However, Han Kang-yoon merely pointed it out calmly without any hostility. At least for the time being, there’s a good chance it won’t cause any problems.

“It’s the same idea. I didn’t have any problems with mine either. Well, at first, I thought I brought some stupid recipes… … .”

On the contrary, it was so successful that it was disappointing.

Seo Ji-an struggled to overcome her embarrassment and recalled what happened in the bathroom.

‘I tried to react a little bit, but don’t you usually feel that much of a sense of crisis?’

Even if there was no problem with the procedure itself, if the first person using it made a mistake, a dangerous enough situation could be created.

However, Han Kang-yoon only watched Seo Ji-an without showing any signs of safety even at close range.

“Huh, the more I look, the more I don’t know.”

“Maybe it’s because we’re so talented that it doesn’t matter what the two of us do? My concealment technique was also discovered in an instant. In fact, I was a little proud of myself.”

It’s hard to believe, but it’s possible.

And the more I thought about it, the less worried I was.

If that’s the case, it’s useless to assume what-if anyway.

“Anyway, is it just a mild cooperative relationship? This.”

“Is that better for you?”

“But it’s strange. No matter how much I think about it, there is no reason to choose me.”

Financial resources can be borrowed from anyone, even if it is not Seo Ji-an.

However, it was not the knowledge that Han Kang-yoon possessed.

Among the many people Seo Ji-an had met through interrogation, none of them possessed as much knowledge as Han Kang-yoon.

While Han Kang-yoon did not need Seo Ji-an, Seo Ji-an had to be none other than Han Kang-yoon.

“So, I thought the exchange would take place in a more forceful way… … .”

In the worst case, it is Seo Ji-an, who was thinking of giving something with more than just goods.

However, Han Kang-yoon gave Seo Ji-an a piece of irreplaceable knowledge in return for things that I could easily provide.

‘Suzy is wrong.’

Of course, for Kang Yoon, knowledge of natural magic was not so valuable. Rather, it was meaningful in itself to get supporters and grow Seo Ji-an at the same time.

For Seo Ji-an, who had no way of knowing that, it was just frustrating.

As silence continued, Yoo Ah-in remembered something and opened her mouth.

“Maybe… … .”

“Are there any corners for straw?”

“Isn’t it possible that you like a girl?”

“… … under?”

In response to Yoo Ah-in’s sudden acceleration, Seo Ji-an frowned as if she was saying something.

“No, but think about it. If you really only care about profits, you’d be better off sticking with real giants. Natural magic isn’t just for young girls, right?”

“So you are thinking about that part.”

“If you say you are in love with a young lady, most circumstances don’t fit right?”

He reflexively tried to deny it, but Seo Ji-an, who had an occupational disease, started seriously examining the possibility at some point.

There is no need to choose a sergeant. But what if Seo Ji-an was also one of the goals in the first place?

‘Then, I didn’t even bother to watch my hands in the bathroom… … .’

It wasn’t the only place where I had doubts.

‘Certainly, aside from digging up the cover-up, I even knew that I was training in the back mountain every night.’

Unless you are a person from the school side, it is impossible to know unless you are very interested in yourself.

‘It wasn’t long since we were together in Class B, but what if we were already interested from then on?’

So what if you have been observing your own path?

It was a nonsensical reasoning, but it was rather plausible because there was no place to point it out.

However.

“Even if that were the case, he probably didn’t see me, he was just a woman hungry.”

“a… … .”

Love is the most promiscuous feeling. can’t be trusted that much.

Looking at Seo Ji-an, who was trying so hard, Yoo Ah-in said that it was not fun.

“The young lady is so heart-warming.”

“If you live like me, everyone becomes like that.”

It was a very unfamiliar family for Seo Ji-an, who has always suffered only from succession fights or political disputes since childhood.

“But doesn’t it look like there’s still a chance? It all starts from there. Maybe, really later… … ”

“Yoo A In.”

In an instant, Seo Ji-an, who had changed the mood, whispered coldly.

“Ah, sorry. I didn’t mean to.”

“You know. There is no such thing.”

The future ahead, Seo Ji-an, unfolded in front of him was a thorny road. So, even though Seo Ji-an used each other, he did not make his true side.

It was unacceptable for her to bring someone into such a tragedy at will.

“Even if Han Kang-yoon really has a heart for me, it won’t mean anything in the end.”

Seo Ji-an tried to ignore the familiar bitter feeling.

***

Time passed quickly.

During that time, I went back and forth between the dormitory and Seo Ji-an’s house several times.

“Because that’s not how I do it.”

“… It’s hard to explain.”

When they ran out of materials, they asked Seo Ji-an to supply it, and in return, she continued to help Seo Ji-an’s training every day.

“Isn’t that what you do?”

“… I’m grateful for the enthusiasm, but don’t you think the progress is too fast?”

So about 50 days passed.

What I created during that time were the shikigami that were lined up in front of me right now.

Creek.

creak. creak.

Take it. sizzle.

A wolf and a bear made of bones.

A mouse and a mole covered with swaying letters.

Even a black eagle that seems to be made up of shadows.

‘And I was able to create a few to use as a trump weapon.’

Originally, it would have been impossible to create a shikigami at such a rapid pace. At least, unless you are a top-notch shikigami, it is impossible.

‘However, my technique is much more advanced than in this era.’

Rather, it was regrettable that there were many things that could not be implemented even with knowledge at this point.

“By the way, it’s been quite some time.”

Since I used shadows as a medium, my spiritual energy consumption was definitely lower than others. This is because of the welcome delay characteristic.

But that didn’t mean the shikigami could last forever.

So I’m doing the last test before school starts now.

Indeed, it was about how much time I could endure with all of the shikigami I currently have.

‘I didn’t bring out an object to be used as a trump weapon, but in the first place, they’re not the kind that can be used normally.’

To be honest, even taking out the Bone series was too much for my level now. Being able to summon such a large number of shikigami is purely thanks to the illusion retarded nature.

“Even so, I never get tired.”

For me, who originally had a maximum of two hours on the margin line, this was completely unexpected.

In fact, if you were an ordinary shikigami with the same specs as me, it would have been obvious that this consumption would not last for less than 5 minutes.

‘Isn’t there a problem in about two hours?’

But three hours passed, and four hours passed, and the limit did not come.

Eight hours had passed, and finally, for the first time, the form of the shikigami began to become unstable.

‘… … It’s an absurd persistence.’

Only then did I realize That there was something I was missing.

‘Honestly, I thought it was a poor spec compared to Jeolyoung.’

Even for me, there was a part that was ahead of Jeolyeong.

‘The reason why my stats are so low is because the illusion delay characteristics were manifested that much earlier.’

In other words, my shadow had accumulated strength and nutrients for a long time.

“Does it mean that my side is better than the quality of the shadows?”

Even my character wasn’t complete yet.

What if the Illusion Delay trait was fully developed?

And what if you get the shikigami-related traits that can support it?

‘This, absurd things might be possible.’

A one-man army that could not even be dreamed of by a grown-up shikigami might be completed.

I looked away, trying to hide the feeling of exhilaration that was filling up.

Obviously, the calendar that hung in January when I first landed here now points to March.

Today’s date is March 3rd. And on the next day, March 4, a red circle was drawn.

‘The strand was caught. And the preparations are complete.’

The day that marks the beginning of the true story.

Finally, school was approaching.
