85 – 13: Honestly, I don’t want to go to that house.

When we returned home, about 3 hours had passed since the cleaning company started work. .

Wooshin and Cheongryong took turns working out, and were so happy to see me again that they came back later to comfort us.

It was only after seeing the sky swallowed by the night spider and turning dark that I was finally able to turn the light on in my room.

I felt refreshed when I saw the house that had become a human home instead of a pigsty.

I worked hard to make it clean before, but less than a month later, it was back to its original state.

I had a feeling that things would go back to normal here in about a week.

So, how can humans understand the laws of beasts?

I checked the inside of the refrigerator with Nokra’s permission to have dinner.

When I saw that there was only beer in the refrigerator, I thought again about how humans cannot understand the laws of animals.

“…… Sorry.”

“It’s okay. I heard you came straight from an overseas business trip. I understand.

“You talk like that, but you look like you’re looking at an animal…… Don’t you think it’s okay? “Can’t you at least look at me like a human being?”

“You have to act like a human to be treated like one, right?”

I pretended not to see Nokra, who was silent, and bought a packed lunch for us at the store and handed it to her.

Today, simple kimchi fried rice and spam fried rice. And I bought something called mayonnaise tuna fried rice.

I make kimchi fried rice. I gave the spam fried rice to Wooshin, and lastly, I gave the mayonnaise tuna fried rice to green ramen.

I gave it to Jesu, whom my younger brother brought home, because I remembered that he really likes mayonnaise, tuna fried rice, etc., And that there is no woman who doesn’t like it.

Nokra looked at the lunch box with vague eyes, as if he had some kind of memory, and then said thank you. We continued eating like that.

Unlike Cheongryong, who has at least learned how to use a spoon, I asked Nokra while teaching Wooshin how to hold a spoon properly yet.

“So what do I need to know as an exorcist?”

“Uh, hmm? “Is it okay to eat?”

“Anyway, I teach him how to hold a spoon while he eats, so it’s good to save time if he learns what he needs to learn during this time. Oh, can’t you explain it simply in words? Do you need a textbook?”

“Oh no. If you’re at your level, I think you only need to know the characteristics of curses rather than how to use spiritual power or the theory. Well, even now that others see you, you seem to be in a very strange state~.

Both skills and performance are already at level A, but I don’t know how to deal with curses that even ordinary exorcists know…… Ahahahaha. Sorry. “Because I am a person in the teaching profession, this comes naturally to me.”

Nokra took a big bite with a spoon, took out a pan and a small notebook from the pocket of the tacky denim jacket he was wearing, and continued speaking in his characteristic tone.

“Okay. Well, if this time the non-radiators are attacking you and you plan to deal with them yourself. “I’ll tell you what you need to know!”

After saying that, Nokra opened a page of her notebook and drew a small person. He wrote some words next to the person. The content of what she wrote was as follows.

——–

1) The better you lie, the more dangerous it is! A fight against someone with spiritual power!

2) Features of casting! It could be your secret weapon!

3) Be careful of barriers! The inside of the barrier is the home ground of the person who created the barrier!

———-

It was written with a cheap ballpoint pen that can be found everywhere, but I was really impressed by Nokra’s handwriting, which felt beautiful and even feminine.

Rather than that, is this something that can be learned in just one day? At first glance, it may not seem like much. It was clear that when it comes to things you need to know when fighting people, it’s not that simple.

Everyone knows that even in a fist fight, someone who uses his brains has an advantage.

“You don’t have to worry too much because all of these are simply learned by first-year academy students as soon as they enter the academy. It’s not difficult because it’s a basic subject. “Then let’s begin.”

In Nokra’s house, there was no proper table or table, so everyone sat on the floor and ate roughly.

For me, because I was more familiar with this, I felt like I was able to concentrate better. Or not.

“First of all, the first thing to tell you is that you need to know this in a fight between the most important people! To sum up the main points without going on for too long – fighting between humans can be more annoying than fighting with most evil spirits.

It is very difficult to deal with mixing truth with truth and engaging in psychological warfare. The simplest example is to deceive the opponent by giving him false information while pretending to ban him.

This is a very useful method in combat with people, but there is a prerequisite.

When the merit of prohibition is less than the demerit. In other words, when revealing a weakness is more fatal or when the opponent is of a higher rank than you. “These two things are normal.”

The thing that came to mind from what Nokra said was the masked idiot I saw the other day as soon as I opened my eyes in the hospital room.

When the strange black snake said that it had no effect other than restraint, Gaeddong was thrown out the window by the old woman and passed out. The snake he left behind was hiding in the pillow and was targeting me.

No, even before that, he was the one who hid his weaknesses and pushed me into crisis through lies. A red mask that has evolved to ghost level.

If that’s what Nokra is saying, then I understand. And then I rolled my wretched head and thought about the connections between these and the rest of what she wrote down, and realized:

“The contents written below are similar to this. Trickery. What kind of fetish you have, hiding your own hand and reading the opponent’s hand to win is important in a fight between exorcists, and the barrier is an extension of that……. Is it?”

“Umm-! You understand the overall framework! “The teacher says it really warms his heart when he sees a student like you.”

“Ah. Yes.”

This is nonsense. If I had been smarter, I wouldn’t have lived like this.

The classes taught by Nokra are also easy to understand because they are taught as concisely as possible. Life is life, so I’ve definitely learned how to hit things based on what I see, so what I’m doing now is just a hit.

When I answered calmly, Nokra laughed and said that I was too serious.

“Still, in order for this kind of hand-to-hand combat to work, the body must support it.

An exorcist who neglects physical training and fights relying only on skills will die quickly. “Do you remember this?”

“Yes.”

There I again took a bite of kimchi fried rice with a spoon. Nokra asked me where I bought the lunch box.

When I told him that I bought it from a store that only I could see, Nokra dismissed it as a joke and passed it over as a minor incident, but the class continued without a problem.

I heard briefly about the characteristics and dangers of casting. I also decided to practice the role of the barrier used by an exorcist and make it myself.

I decided to try it after Nokra said that there is a big difference in understanding of barriers between people who have created them and those who have not.

Although I was a little nervous, I felt my heart pounding because it felt like I was using magic from a novel.

You could say what’s surprising is that I’ve been using spiritual power and skills well so far.

My skill is the ability to kill by tingling a spirit, and the ability to grow ice by tingling, so in my experience, it felt like I was just hitting someone painfully rather than using some kind of mysterious magic power.

It’s a real skill, but all you have to do is pick and beat the opponent to achieve anything. I think so too, don’t you think?

So, unable to hide my pounding heart and the raised corners of my mouth at my first magical action, I followed Nokra’s explanation and tried to pour spiritual power into the amulet Nokra gave me –

As if laughing at my expectations, dismissal! As soon as the ominous sound came from the amulet, the cast on my left hand that was holding the amulet burst into pieces.

Yes, it exploded. The paper was literally torn apart and spiritual power exploded along with light. The explosion was not large and did not cause any harm, but it was enough to turn the house into a mess.

“Mr. Lee-“

Was what I was trying to do now not create a barrier but create a bomb?

I took a look at the bowl of fried rice and its contents scattering into the air, then pretended to be caught up in an explosion of spiritual power and looked down at Wooshin hanging on my face.

Then I looked at Nokra. She fell behind her and stood up again, she looked at my smashed sunglasses and made a sad face and then she comforted me.

“…… Okay, it’s okay! Because each person has different specialties! For the barrier, you can get help from casting or other experts! As an exorcist, you are so outstanding!

But why not? There was no problem with the flow of spiritual power, and everything went well until the halfway point…….”

“…… I’m sorry.”

Whatever the reason, it was my fault for causing such an explosion and turning the house into a mess when the subject came to Nokra’s house as a guest.

I closed my eyes tightly and tried to clean up the scattered food and the soot-covered floor. Nokra waved her hand and said in her characteristic loose tone that it was okay.

“Everyone makes mistakes~ It’s okay! As I said, everyone has their own specialty! “Just knowing what you lack was enough!”

As Nokra comforted me, I saw her left hand that had become free even though I did not intend to do so.

It looked like the hand of someone suffering from a serious illness, with red swollen, black spots scattered here and there, but it didn’t hurt that much. I quietly stroked my face with my left hand.

I couldn’t raise my head at her because of her unintentional mistakes, but she didn’t care and carefully told me the things I needed to know.

I listened to her with a promise that I would never forget at least the things she told me, but she wrote down things to remember in her notebook and she said that it was enough for her to remember only these.

“- If it’s at your level, there won’t be that much of a risk. However, there are also dangerous non-radiating agents in this world whose origin is unknown.

If an exorcist is rated A only if he or she can defeat a class A evil spirit. Even though A-class non-exorcists are weak to evil spirits, they are evaluated as being able to kill such A-class exorcists.

…… Be careful. “We are now checking who the Exorcism Agency and the End of God are in contact with and what they are doing, but the truly dangerous non-radiators are those whose names and abilities are unknown.”

“Yes. “I’ll be careful.”

I nodded at her words. Because I know the representative person she spoke of.

Gwitae. Her power is so strong that even I cannot be certain of her victory or defeat, but even her grandmother did not know of her existence.

If her appearance had not been confirmed when fighting Red Mask, the Academy would not have noticed her existence yet.

What’s strange about the existence of such a noble being in this world? … Probably not. Maybe.

When I think about what I saw while my brother was playing a game, it seems like one of the enemies that stood in the way of the main character was a non-radiant character like that.

Based on my experience so far, this time I will face an unknown non-radiant character. Considering my luck, I am sure.

“I guess it’ll be okay.”

Even if there is one more such dangerous non-radiant, the Academy is keeping a close eye on the movements of the Exorcism Agency and the End of God.

If someone moves, you will have no choice but to notice. If you don’t notice, all you have to do is call them a group of idiots and then cut off with the old lady.

After gathering our thoughts up to that point, we filled the dinner we had lost midway with food from a convenience store.

After that, I spent time taking turns playing with Wooshin and Cheongryong when they asked me to play with them.

A short period of time when I left the house for a while because I had something to worry about. Wooshin and I opened the window on the veranda of Nokra’s house to get some fresh air. Suddenly, I felt a familiar presence.

“-You look healthy. “More than I thought.”

A voice coming from the sky. I looked up a little and saw Guitae sitting on a bird-like evil spirit looking at me.

Gwitae was waving his hand with a beautiful smile that seemed alluring, but his back was turned to the moonlight, giving off a mysterious atmosphere that made you wonder if he was an evil spirit or a person.

“Hey, if you fly around in the summer, don’t you get bugs in your mouth? Ugh. “There is a mosquito on my forehead.”

When I looked closely, I saw that there were insect corpses all over my face, probably because it had flown all the way here, and it looked funny.

At my words, Guitae took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped her face. He immediately shouted with a bright red face, unable to tell whether he was laughing or getting angry.

“…… “If you don’t forget what you just saw, I’ll kill you.”

“Okay. I’ll forget it. Bye.”

It’s embarrassing, so let’s pretend not to notice. With that thought in mind, I closed the screen and window.

Wooshin saw Guitae whom he had not seen in a long time and tried to share his newly acquired emergency knowledge.

They say they got it from the backyard while resting at Jongmyo Shrine. What Wooshin took out from inside the dragon bag with a confident face was not mugwort, but bellflower root.

But it was huge, probably about 10 years old.

If it’s this big, it’s likely to be worth a lot of money no matter where you sell it. With that in mind, I ignored Guitae yelling for me to open the window.
