chapter 25
05 : I went to the academy for the first time today. Of course, I didn’t go there as a student.
I hate hospitals. I hate real hospitals.
Originally, I didn’t have any feelings about the hospital. Today I realized I’ve come to hate hospitals.
As for how much I hate it, I hate hospitals to the point that, when asked to choose whether to eat with Su-mok or stay in the hospital, I would immediately choose to self-destruct.
I didn’t want to lie down for a while, so I went to visit Seo Yoon-seo, who was in another hospital room.
In the meantime, wouldn’t it be better to explode it first? I’ve thought about it several times.
While I was asking about Seo Yoon-seo, who helped me!
I don’t mean to go to the hospital for nothing when a person has a mental problem or trauma.
I thought my condition was at a level where I needed professional help. Need to go back to the hospital for trauma treatment? What about this There is no way.
I let out a deep sigh
If you leave the pain alone, it will come as a serious illness.
Even if you don’t have money, you should avoid leaving the bottle alone as much as possible.
It was something my brothers and I learned from seeing an elderly person suffering from dementia. According to the teachings, the body reacts sensitively to injuries or pain, and went to the hospital as soon as money was available to check it.
This is the first time I have been reluctant to go to the hospital for psychological reasons, not financial reasons.
It even rained for no reason, and today I miss that foolish younger brother.
After I rubbed the roof of my mouth with my tongue. I opened the door of the car while looking at the sky where the rain was pouring down.
Ignoring the rainwater bouncing on the cement floor and soaking the hem of my pants, I opened my umbrella to block the cold rainwater.
The first thing I saw in my field of vision covered by an umbrella was Nokla, which was waiting for me after getting out of the car.
The next thing I saw was a wooden sign board with a rustic design that I had seen before.
The plague. For me to cross the academy threshold. It was a new feeling.
In the web novels I’ve seen so far, the main character usually starts after entering the academy.
It is not until half a year since I came to this world that I am moving my steps towards the entrance of the academy.
Now the background that caught my eye when I looked over my shoulder at my younger brother playing games has come to reality.
To me now- surprisingly, I didn’t feel anything.
It is said to be a background in a game, but there was nothing that looked different from the general university landscape.
I didn’t go to college, but I was relatively familiar with this kind of scenery because my brother went around a few times when he was in college.
That’s why I thought that the most noticeable thing here was the old tile-roofed house that Gaetdung could have lived in, but-
A moment next to a huge hanok mansion. A strangely standing tree forcibly took my gaze.
Its appearance is large and thick. Although it reminded me of the consistent words thick and huge.
A pitch-black tree that doesn’t even feel like it’s growing out of proportion to its gigantic size.
Looking at such a strange tree, my head thought of something.
Ah. That must be the tree that sealed the powerful evil spirit from the game.
I can’t remember the name, but the tree I saw when my younger brother whined that he couldn’t beat the hidden boss with his own control skiIIs.
It’s clear when you see a strangely withered tree standing right in the middle of the academy next to the mansion where the old woman was murdered.
What was it? Before Dog Poop made her academy her grandmother, she caught a powerful evil spirit on the verge of transforming into a divine spirit.
Because its nature was impossible to kiII at the time, and yet it could not be made into a divine spirit.
Dog poop is said to have been her grandmother’s last resort, sealing it by driving a giant peach tree over the corpse until her fear of the demon was completely gone?
Yes, it must have been. Even I, who has faster eyes and hands than my younger brother, saw it from the side, and the gimmick of the evil spirit coming out of that tree seemed grotesque.
But it has nothing to do with me. The main character will take care of everything.
Oh, and Bonnie, Gwi-tae said that the current main character is in a bad condition.
What exactly did you say? I think he said his confidence was undermined.
It would not be normal for Gwi-tae, who watched her heroine to grow stronger, to express that she was broken.
So, when we met, I tried to tell her to cheer up in anything that comforted her, but she completely forgot about it.
As you use this body, your intelligence and overall specs have gone up, but can’t you beat this guy’s forgetfulness?
Pressing his molars with his tongue, he is delusional, wondering if this guy’s forgetfulness is engraved in his soul.
After taking about five steps forward, Nokla stopped and smiled, pointing his chin at the withered peach tree.
“- You feel it too~? That tree. Don’t worry. Your feeling is not wrong. There’s nothing dangerous down there~ The seal on that tree was made by the dean himself. Notorious shamans also reside here.”
That’s why I said that the thing under that tree could never come out.
As far as I remember, there must have been an incident where the seal on that tree was broken after the ‘Retreat’.
I said it was a hidden event, so it’s not like the seal was accidentally broken.
Uh- but was that the case with Gwitae? No, that’s not it.
Obviously, I remembered that some group was trying to do something to target the evil spirits below it, and the seal was simply broken and the chaos erupted.
It’s a seal that breaks so easily that it’s embarrassing that Nokla said that.
Okay. After the retreat, you shouldn’t even go near the academy.
[ Check new area ]
< Unheard of [未曾有] You have arrived at the academy. >
< The Unprecedented Academy is the largest academy in Korea. Various benefits and honors just by belonging to this academy. And you can benefit financially. >
< Just by entering the academy, it is certain that countless people will praise your strength and awe your will. >
< Secret piece of the academy. I heard about the ‘Dead Peach Tree’.>
< The hidden secret of the unheard-of academy. You can access the story of ‘Maehwa’s Regret’. >
< This country and countless people are waiting for your heroic story. >
“Ugh.”
As I was thinking about that, the quest window suddenly popped up. Chang goes into a riot as soon as he enters the academy.
Is this guy finally going crazy?
As soon as I entered the land of the academy, the floating window, as if I had been waiting for it, obstructed my vision more fiercely than the rainwater.
Really, this bastard has learned to offend people. How can you be so disgusting?
With a frown, the main characters in the novels I’ve seen continue to think deeply about how they endured this.
Nokla stood next to me and said with her little hum.
“But oh—- I was a bit surprised. I didn’t expect you to readily accept the deal~ I thought you had… Bad feelings about the academy.”
“I don’t have good feelings about the academy, but the biggest reason is that I don’t go to the academy to feed the damn bastard.”
A guy like this quest window right in front of me.
If you continue to enter the academy, money will be given to you. Become famous benefit you I replied nervously erasing the window.
Admission to the academy? It’s bullsh*t I don’t like this bastard, so I have no intention of going.
I hate to go even more when I think of the men in suits who threw money at the lady and threatened to shut up.
It was said that they belonged to the Exorcism Agency, but among them there was one who said that they belonged to the academy.
But that means I don’t intend to come here as a student. Anything can come for the deal Nokla said.
I also have to make as much money as possible in this world and go back. Wouldn’t it be nice if an organization like the Academy treated me as an employer and employee rather than a student?
I can be swayed at will, given my identity. The A-class certificate (?) Obtained through this case prevents such a risk.
The title of a high-ranking exorcist recognized by the academy will be a stable source of funds and a shield that others cannot easily touch.
So, ignore whatever this window says, just do what you have to do, and if you meet the main character even by chance, cheer them on and cheer them on.
Oh, wait. Come to think of it, I don’t need to tell the main character to cheer up, right?
How much do you and I know each other? If you’re going to do it, it’s right for someone who’s close to the main character to do it.
The person in front of me is the main character’s homeroom teacher!
This is originally a problem for her to solve!
“Oh that’s right. That–what was his name? …A. Yes. A. That kid seems to be struggling with losing his confidence. Please listen to his worries. You’re a teacher, aren’t you?”
“…Yes. That’s right.”
I said I like it and left it to Nokla to solve the main character’s pride problem.
Nokra, who had been handed over, responded with a strangely heavy response and looked at me very sadly.
Why is that lady talking like that again? I was puzzled, but I didn’t ask, and I just silently moved on.
A tile-roofed house that goes back in time in the middle of the academy site. The closer I got to that place, the more I felt the dog poop I had felt before and the grandmother’s spiritual power.
A rainy day. The large gate, which even exudes a mysterious atmosphere, felt like an entrance to another world.
Is this the house where the world’s strongest exorcist lives?
If you think about it, the woman next to me is also a former deity, a heretic among heretics, from the world view in this game.
Although it is perverted, its power cannot be ignored.
You will be commissioned and work in the future, but you must be aware of your superior’s ability.
I passed the gate and the low wall of the mansion with my chin tightened and my body tense.
The first thing I saw in such a traditional hanok mansion—
It was Grandma Gae-ddong who enjoyed barbaric drinking and singing and dancing on the numeral floor, with a kimchi pancake in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other.
“ㅡYou crazy old man!! If you’re going to open a table and do it, use a glass and chopsticks, so f*ck with your bare hands again!! No, the person who asked you to bring the kid in the first place drank alcohol?!”
“Abhhhhh?! Has time passed already?! Oh, I’m not good at drinking just one cup…! I don’t know if the sack may rot in Sinseonnoreum–ugh!!”
Grandmother Gae Ddong was startled by Nokla’s screams, and then slipped and fell onto the yard that had become wet and muddy from her rain.
A dog poop covered in dirt and making a whining noise said that she was selling this with her grandmother, and her anger melted.
Is this the former divine spirit and the strongest exorcist? My little brother wondered what was so fun about a game with people like this.
Under a rainy sky. I rubbed my cheeks in absurdity as I watched the two women spread their sh*t.
…Uh, wait?
“An arm?”
I noticed an abnormality in an instant. The healthy hand is holding an umbrella now. You can’t even move your fingers on the rest of your hand, but you moved so naturally right now?
The arm is fine even after moving again. I’m wearing a cast, so I can’t see the outside. It doesn’t hurt at all.
The doctor said it would take at least a month to get better, but is it already better?
Is this the power of spiritual power?
Wounds healed so quickly, like taking a strange red-hot drug that only appears in games. It was amazing.
I was impressed. The idea that this world was originally a game world came to mind when Nokla took her razor and her dog poop attacked her grandmother, asking her to die with her.
It was sh*t.
