Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Episode 88

As usual, after passing the day and welcoming the weekend, I met Cheongju-hwa as promised and completed registration and went out of the academy.

“When are you going to meet someone who has an appointment?”

“Probably late at night. I am basically a nocturnal person.”

“Then we can stay together until evening.”

As I looked at the Cheongjuhwa walking with a smile on my face, I was immersed in thought as usual.

‘… It is the house of Cheongju-hwa.’

I don’t know what the listeners will think, but in fact, Cheongjuhwa’s grandmother was quite famous among users of the Exorcism series.

Although she did not appear directly in the story, she showed her face many times through the recollection of Cheongju-hwa, and the advice she gave in the past became an awakening event for Cheongju-hwa. He is a person with an unusual presence.

So, in some circles, jokes that she was a former elite exorcist or that she was an elder in the Cheongga were regularly circulating.

‘There was even a saying that he was the strongest in the hidden world view.’

It was an opportunity to meet the protagonist of such a rumor in person, so from a player’s point of view, to be honest, I was very much looking forward to it.

Boo Woong.

boo boo!

As I was trying so hard to appease my expectations, Cheongjuhwa, who was silently looking at me, spoke to me.

“Did you say you came from the same place as Seo-ah?”

“right.”

“Then what do you usually do on vacation?”

“I just train at the academy.”

“… Oh my God, there’s someone here who has more fun than me.”

Shaking her head, Cheongju-hwa spoke to me again, raising her finger as if she had been sympathetic.

“Our house is also in a remote place, but being unnecessarily spacious is an advantage. There are places where you can train. If you are bored during vacation, you can come and play anytime.”

“… I’ll think about it.”

I was taken aback for a moment by the remarks without hesitation, and I glanced at the cheongju flower.

It is usually said that at this age, I am sensitive to my friends of the same age, but Cheongju-hwa did not care about that at all.

But when I finally arrived at Cheongju-hwa’s house, I immediately understood why she thought that way.

‘… No, it’s really big.’

Although the structure itself was an old house, it was not strange to see that it was a place where other large families lived.

“Grandma, granddaughter is here.”

profit.

When I opened the slightly weathered door, I saw a traditional hanok that looked as if it had been relocated from the past.

For some reason, it feels like the air is getting clearer.

“… grandmother? Oh, are you praying?”

As I entered the house, I felt like I was popular, and then an elderly woman appeared from a room in the middle.

“There must have been a guest. Excuse me for this.”

“Are you praying to his ancestors again? Please stop doing that.”

“… done this Don’t worry about it, because Grandma likes it.”

Cheongjuhwa sighed a little and frowned. If it were my ancestor, I would be referring to the ancestors of the Cheongju, so it just didn’t feel welcome to Cheongjuhwa.

“Are you that Kang Yoon? nice to meet you I heard a lot about it from my granddaughter.”

“… Excuse me.”

Looking at me who bowed my head to greet me, Cheongju-hwa’s grandmother softly opened her mouth.

“It’s Juhwa. I was looking for the inspiration of Gunnut Neighborhood Park. Go see it before the sun goes down.”

“yes? Am I here now? I have guests next to me.”

“He’s really good too, he’ll treat you well, so don’t worry and just go.”

At those words, Cheongjuhwa glanced at me with a puzzled face. Then, when I nodded, I thought for a moment, then left the house again and headed somewhere.

I took the opportunity and immediately used the emotion function.

Tiling!

【Blue Forest】

▶Level: 49

The ability itself was aging, but it was certainly far from the average person at this level.

Like the rumors floating around in the community, it was clear that he was an exorcist when he was young, although he was not a former elder or the strongest in the world.

“I’m sorry I made an awkward place for you as soon as it arrived.”

“no. Is there anything you would like to say to me?”

“Yes. Come inside first.”

After following her into the room with the old-fashioned sliding door open, she opened the shelf, skillfully pulled out a tool, brewed tea and handed it over.

Then he opened the door to the conversation.

“Like I said, I hear it often. Your granddaughter seems to like you quite a bit.”

“Somehow, I got into a relationship, and I usually get a lot of help.”

“It’s such a joy. Because that kid seldom tries to build relationships with other people.”

Cheongjuhwa lost a lot of trust in people due to childhood trauma.

There was a hint of improvement in his relationship with me, but it is clear that he is not hanging out with Yoo Ha-on and others as much as he thought even now.

“Besides, you have already achieved a considerable level as an exorcist.”

“… How did you know?”

“When you look into your eyes, you can barely see it. Although I am old, I am not wasting my age.”

Eventually, with a serious expression on her face, Ok-rim Cheong began to bring out the main point she had originally intended to convey without hesitation.

“How much do you know about that child?”

“It’s about being aware of it. Is it the level of interest that is entangled in his origin and family?”

“Then, first of all, I should explain more about it.”

After that, the words that came out of Cheong Ok-rim’s mouth were all of Cheongju-hwa’s past that I saw in stories and other setting books.

However, the scene is even more vivid because it was heard directly.

After telling me all the facts without hiding, Okrim Cheong spoke to me again.

“From here on is the main point.”

What Cheong Ok-rim wanted to convey while doing that was quite consistent with the problems I was thinking about.

“I don’t want you to hang out with coins anymore.”

“… … .”

“But on the other hand, I want you not to leave the coin. Do you understand what I mean?”

“You seem to be concerned about getting tangled up with Cheongga.”

She nodded softly at my answer.

“The current Cheongga has largely lost its former appearance. If you look at the case of granddaughters, it is obvious.”

And, if I continue to stay by Cheongju-hwa’s side.

“Obviously, there will be hardships that one cadet will not be able to handle. No, maybe it has already started.”

That judgment was correct. It is an idea that clearly sees through the events to come.

However, that’s why my answer was decided right away.

I took a sip of the tea and spit out a firm answer.

“I’m sorry, but that’s not possible.”

“… … .”

“Because it wasn’t a relationship I started just to listen to someone and cut it off.”

With those words, Cheong Ok-rim seemed greatly relieved.

“… Yes, he is also a strong kid. Thank you.”

And then he started to tell a slightly different story.

“Actually, I tried to raise that child in a normal way, as my son asked.”

“… Is that so?”

“However, I couldn’t afford to do that. Because the talent that was given to that child was not something that someone like me could cut and break.”

Cheong Ok-rim, who seemed wet with reminiscences for a moment, said to me, looking at somewhere in the past.

“The day that child first cast a spell for this old man. I have not forgotten the light of the clear spiritual power I saw back then.”

It was obviously talking about something that appeared in the recollection of Cheongjuhwa.

For Cheong Ok-rim, who is suffering from the loss of her son, the memory of Cheong Ju-hwa, who was still young, learned how to deal with nightmares on her own and helped her fall asleep.

“That child must have been born to achieve something important. This old man is sure of it.”

Liquor Rank EX.

It was clear that Cheong Ok-rim had noticed the fragment of that huge talent from a very long time ago.

“So, please help that child by your side. For that day to come someday.”

At that, I nodded softly.

Although the reasons were different, my intentions must have been the same as her thoughts.

Having confirmed each other’s will, we left our room with our seats organized, and around that time, Cheongju-hwa, who had gone to run an errand, returned home.

“I was told to bring a side dish. It’s not really that important.”

Cheong Ok-rim, who looked at her who was grumbling, closed her eyes again and prayed to someone, thinking about the things that would surely come in the future.

“What are you doing?”

As time passed and the sun began to set, after dinner, Cheongju-hwa changed clothes and spoke to me and me.

“just. I was just getting some wind.”

“Then, would you like to exercise together to digest food?”

As if looking at it from the beginning, he was wearing training shorts and an indigo blue windbreaker, and a cap on his head.

With a slight smile at her fashion, I accepted the proposal and stood up.

“Because I don’t know the geography of this place. Go ahead and guide me.”

“yes. Just follow me.”

So lightly walking around the town, we talked about things we couldn’t finish.

“This semester is coming to an end, what are you going to do when you graduate next year?”

“Once you get your exorcist license, then you have to do something.”

“Aside from that, is there anything you want to do, where, what, and how?”

If you are a normal academy cadet, you will gradually build up your career by becoming a member of the defense force, belonging to a national institution, or being hired by someone.

But perhaps such a future did not exist for me.

Because I already knew all too well what was going to happen before that.

“You will probably be busy. Quite a bit too.”

“… It’s a very realistic answer.”

Even if you say that, it’s true, I can’t help it. And it won’t be just me.

For now, Cheongjuhwa will also be caught in the center of the confusion of Cheongga that will come soon.

But on the other hand, it was only by going beyond it that she could find the way she really had to go.

“Ah, there is another advantage here. Compared to where the academy is, you can see the stars better.”

Whether or not she knows my heart, Cheongju-hwa takes the lead and plays with her feet with a bright smile.

Seeing that cheerful figure somehow seems to soften the anxiety and worry in my heart.

Behind the busy and sweaty cheongju-hwa, I made a decision again.

Also, in this situation, I have to hit the player one step ahead.

‘… Before the Qingdao Yul faction moves in earnest, I have to go first.’

The blue dragon, a divine beast that has been passed down to the blue family over many years.

From now on, I was going to usurp it from the Qingdao Yul faction, which is said to be one of the two major powers of Cheongga.
