Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Chapter 38

While on the way to the destination, Yoo Ah-in drove the car and explained the current situation lightly.

“Do you know anything about your family?”

“To some extent.”

It must have been that the older brother had heard that he had two older sisters.

“The problem this time around is the older one of them.”

In other words, it seemed that something had happened with Seo Ji-an’s older sister.

“I think you know, but the CEO is trying to select the best deficit among them through the succession competition.”

“… … .”

“And the horses are a competition, more precisely about making your opponent completely incapacitated. It doesn’t matter whether they are socially buried and thrown into prison or secretly turned into a corpse.”

In a word, in fact, competition for the successor of Daejin Industries was the same as a war that risked his life.

“Just before the vacation started, the older lady started fighting in earnest with her.”

“You mean you were pushed there?”

“You could say it’s half right and half wrong. Because we won the competition itself as the successor.”

Then, why did you even call me and ask for help? The reason could be known from the following explanation of Yoo Ah-in.

“The eldest girl, who has been completely driven into the corner, is preparing the last resort with this judge’s board. We decided to attack her weakness.”

“What is that weakness?”

Yoo Ah-in pondered for a moment, then looked into my eyes as if she had made up her mind and continued.

“… I am her younger sister.”

It was the first story I had ever heard.

After arriving at the unidentified facility, I immediately followed Yoo Ah-in and entered the facility.

jerk.

jerk.

And at the center of it, there was Seo Ji-an with a worried face and someone sleeping in an isolated hospital room surrounded by various equipment.

Whoops.

Seo Ji-an, who found me, sighed and looked at Yoo Ah-in.

“Aren’t my words absurd? You didn’t call me.”

“… I can’t listen to that. For now, he is our only hope.”

A detailed explanation was as follows.

Seo Ji-an’s younger sister, Seo Ji-ha, suffered from an unknown disease and had been receiving treatment in the hospital for several years, giving up daily life.

However, no matter what method was used, treatment was impossible, and in the end, it seemed that the only way to maintain the status quo was pouring billions of dollars.

“Recently, more and more people are unable to open their eyes at all.”

And the opponent is attacking this place and trying to take Seo Ji-ha as a hostage.

“How do I get it to go somewhere else?”

“no.”

Seo Ji-an, who had been silent all along, looked at me and opened her mouth.

“It took a lot of manpower and money just to have a dedicated facility. No one else has the skill level to handle this kid.”

decisively.

“… The underground won’t be able to handle it.”

Well, even to me, with little knowledge in that area, Seo Ji-ha’s condition didn’t look good. Absolute stability is needed.

“What is your opponent’s strength?”

“I put all my wealth into it. There are going to be times when it’s hard to deal with.”

On the other hand, this one cannot have that much power. It was because the wealth wasted on Seo Ji-ha’s treatment was large.

‘It’s a complete dilemma.’

However, calling me means that he is still thinking about something.

Also, I had already figured it out to some extent.

“You mean natural magic is the key to healing, right?”

If that’s the reason, it’s understandable that Seo Ji-an has been exploring the magic of nature so far. At my question, she nodded softly.

“… That’s it. I haven’t found a way yet, but I thought that if you had a high level of knowledge in that area, you might have some relevant information.”

From what I’ve heard, it seems that if we can endure this fight, we can completely banish the opponent from the succession competition.

In other words, the victory or defeat of this fight was in my hands.

“I will check. It’s hard to see the expected results, though.”

“… Please.”

At the same time, I have the ability to discriminate more accurately than any other doctor’s diagnosis.

With the cooperation of the hired medical staff, I entered the containment room where Seo Ji-ha was located.

And, I started checking her information right away.

‘This… … .’

To be honest, I was surprised that it wasn’t a joke.

Because I never imagined that I would be able to see this trait in the first part of Exorcism.

‘No, wait a minute. I hope this.’

There are certainly memorable stories.

In Exorcism 2, an existence that resides in a human body and reigns as a disaster.

Imoogi and Cheol-i, who became the powerful enemies of the main characters in the 2nd episode and gave death to countless players.

‘Maybe but… … .’

I didn’t know that the being that would become the mother of it might be Seo Ji-ha, who is in front of me right now.

‘There is a possibility. No, it’s pretty high.’

Come to think of it, there was a backstory that the human body in which Cheol Lee resides must have become a test subject and was managed at a research facility, and then one day he woke up and woke the sleeping Imoogi.

‘Is that a surge?’

It may be just a guesswork-style reasoning, but if, in the original story, Seo Ji-an was defeated in the succession competition and lost Seo Ji-ha, it was not so absurd.

Only then did I realize,

The reason why Seo Ji-an, who obviously had considerable talent and specs, was treated as an extra in the original work and hid her appearance.

This is because Seo Ji-an is defeated in the succession competition of the Daejin Industry, or is in a similar situation.

I felt a cold sweat flowing out of embarrassment and carefully looked at Seo Ji-ha’s condition.

‘I don’t see any signs that the Imoogi will wake up yet.’

However, no matter how much I think about this, I can’t figure out how to solve it.

I left the containment room as it was, shook my head and said to Seo Ji-an.

“I think it will be difficult.”

“… I guess so too. I kind of expected it.”

Even if you say that, it’s a face that’s terribly saddened. Seo Ji-an tried to hide her sadness and ordered Yoo Ah-in.

“Take Han Kang-yoon back to the academy. I can’t get you into a fight.”

“… Yes. All right.”

Just as Yoo Ah-in came to me with a dark face, I finished thinking and opened my mouth to the two of them.

“It is not that there is no way.”

“What?”

“But the risk is great for both sides. And even if you do, you need to calm down right now.”

In the end, it was said that there was no direct solution, but that alone was enough for Seo Ji-an.

“Really? Is there really a way?”

“I need your help. Besides, to be honest, the odds of success are uncertain.”

“I’ll help. whatever.”

Hearing that answer, I hesitated for a moment before continuing.

“Even if we fail, you and Seo Ji-ha will surely die?”

“… If it stays like this anyway, I will die today.”

At that resolute will, I nodded my head reluctantly.

“Then, first of all.”

You must first defeat the enemies that will come today. Only then can you try Seo Ji-ha’s treatment in a stable environment.

However, after being silent for a while, Seo Ji-an spoke to me with a bitter smile.

“Can you try treatment now?”

“Then the consumption is so great that you can’t stop the enemies.”

“Anyway, I can’t stop it.”

It was a voice filled with desperate emotions.

Seo Ji-an, who was shaking her lips, quietly recites information about the other person.

“One level 1 and two level 2 students.”

“… … .”

“These three are the only ones that have been confirmed with certainty. In reality, there is probably a lot more.”

If that statement is true, the adversarial level is impossible. It was understandable that Seo Ji-an had fallen into despair to this extent.

“Is there no one to turn to for help?”

“Not only do we lack funds, but the industry behind the scenes already has a different perception.”

It’s a losing battle anyway, so even if you put up a request, it won’t be accepted.

‘Yoo Ah-in is the average level of 2nd grade. Seo Ji-an and I are sober and less than that.’

There was a fairly powerful shikigami, Gongsami, but there was no way to do anything against only two level 2 players, let alone level 1.

There was no chance of winning even with a simple calculation. I had to find some other way.

“If the treatment is successful, I will give up the fight and give my head to my sister.”

Seo Ji-an was already thinking of giving up her life.

“My sister will be busy quelling public opinion right now to cover up her revealing secrets, so she will be able to recover her health in the basement and buy time to hide. Yoo Ah-in, do you know what to do?”

“Lady, that’s… … .”

I was silent and shook my head vigorously.

If there is at least one more useful power, it might be possible somehow.

‘What do I have now?’

Not many things come to mind. At most, Noh Ongsugwi and Gongsam, Baekpyeonjang stolen from the Baektae River, and Cheongsimok, the third main district of Cheongga.

Among them, the object that came to my mind was Cheongshimok.

“… … .”

While organizing the characteristics of Cheongshim-ok in my mind, I came up with a really dangerous and bizarre method.

Seo Ji-ha’s illness and the incoming enemies, a way to solve all those problems at once.

‘Steel.’

If you use the Imoogi that is sleeping in Seo Ji-ha’s body, you might be able to turn the situation around.

“… Let’s try treatment.”

“no! In that case, the lady… !”

“There is a way. It’s like a gamble, but if it goes well, you’ll be able to defeat the enemies too.”

Of course, if you fail, you will have to pay the price.

Seo Ji-an and Yoo Ah-in’s expressions as they looked at me were strangely colored. However, of course, neither of them seemed willing to refuse.

The immediate direction seemed to have been decided somehow.

***

Cheol is an Imoogi.

Without becoming a dragon, even its essence has been corrupted and turned into a monster.

It is a famous youkai that appears in various folktales in its own way.

‘Therefore, most of the characteristics of Kang Cheol-i in the Exorcism High follow the existing lore.’

Only the production crew at the time would know the exact concept and setting, but what is certain is that it has considerable strength as it is a monster who wanted to become a dragon.

Perhaps, if a complete resurrection is achieved even in the present state, wouldn’t it be easy to pass level 60?

‘But considering the fact that it first appeared in the second part, its existence will still be unstable.’

First, the outline of the operation was as follows. I separate Kang Cheol-i’s body from Seo Ji-ha and resurrect it in my incomplete form.

The phenomenon of the half-revival of Gsendae in Yeongwol-do, this time it was intentionally brought about.

Although it is not known for certain, the resurrected Cheol Yi will attack nearby enemies without identifying enemies.

‘A monster full of resentment and anger for not being a dragon from the beginning.’

If Cheol Yi is confronted with those who will attack this place in the future, they too will mistake Cheol Lee for this side and fight.

‘If it consumes power like that, then it’s worth trying.’

This is it.

face the enemy

This, in a word, was such a strategy.
