Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Episode 22

In conclusion, the barrier stone was not broken.

“It’s close… … .”

“Give up.”

Not only is it too conspicuous, but it is not a positive thing to impress the examiners in this way too much.

And, there was a better side to aim for.

Now is the time to move fast.

‘Class B has a good head.’

From the sight of the black swan that had been blown away, I was able to discover a second-grade B-class barrier stone that was shining alone.

Why did you give up victory and leave a barrier that could be a score for the other team?

The reason was simple.

‘Bait.’

1st year A class and 2nd year A class.

This is to make the two forces that can be said to be the most powerful at the moment collide.

“What are you going to do now?”

“Look at the situation first.”

Both teams are serious about winning each other.

If there is such a delicious bait, there’s no way you can’t go unnoticed.

“Black Swan.”

Fuwaak!

[Queek!]

[Quick.]

I summoned all the other two black swans to scout around the B-class barrier stone.

‘We have roughly checked the positions of the other teams, so we only need to look at the path.’

After a few minutes, the signal came.

The result is both. In other words, first-year A-class and second-year A-class confidently opted for an all-out war against each other.

“This might be settled within a few hours.”

“Are you both moving?”

“It is quite large. Everyone gathered except for the minimum number of people to protect the camp.”

unfortunately it was If both sides had chosen the on-zone of all power, they would have been able to easily intercept the B-Class Barrier Stone from this side.

‘Things in the world don’t work as they please.’

I picked up the terminal and checked the situation.

tyring.

[2-D Gonghyeokjin battle impossible.]

[2-D Yun Ha-rim is unable to fight.]

[1-B Baek Kang-muk is unable to fight.]

It looked like there was already a battle going on over there. There is no way to turn it around. This leaves you with two options.

‘Aim for fishermanship by hiding in the B-class camp, or aiming for a barrier stone in one of the other two A-classes.’

Neither way is easy.

However, I was eventually able to glimpse one possibility.

‘yes?’

Jinyoung, a second-year class A, who moved the black swan to take a peek. There were only two students left.

It was Haram Chung and Sophia, the sophomore, sophomore.

‘This would be worth a try.’

If there were at least one or two more people there, I would have given up neatly.

But if there were only two people, and one of them was Chung Haram, there was a possibility.

I remembered the safety device I put on Chung Haram during the midterm evaluation, and I smiled and asked Cheongjuhwa.

“Second year Class A, the opponents are Haram Chung and Sophia, what should we do?”

“Cheong Haram?”

Cheongjuhwa asked with a reflection. And immediately, with a subtle expression on his face, he said to me.

“But Sophia? Isn’t that him? Just being featured in a magazine as a next-generation prospect.”

“right.”

“Last time I saw him in practice, he wasn’t completely human.”

“It’s not a monster.”

A next-generation top prospect with overwhelming performances in the second year.

To be honest, in terms of individual abilities, even if there were ten of me, it would be absurd to beat Sophia.

However, there was a way.

“Because this is the end if we break one barrier stone somehow.”

After speaking, I summoned another shikigami from the shadows.

“The salt lake.”

Fuhuaak.

polka.

[Keying.]

Then a gray-haired fox circled the air and rode on my shoulder.

“What is this? It’s cute, but it looks weak.”

A body smaller than that of a black swan.

Compared to the shikigami I have brought out so far, it has a rather cute appearance.

However, along with Duduri, Yeomho was one of the trump cards I talked about. Since then, it has been a very classy shikigami.

Therefore, I confidently answered toward Cheongjuhwa.

“A weapon that will break through Sophia.”

For Class A, this test is harsh in another sense. For a complete victory, there should not be a single mistake.

And, we’re going to make that one mistake from now on.

***

“Oh, it’s Kang Yoon. Hello~”

Sophia greets me brightly as she sees me and Cheongjuhwa appearing from the front.

It was her original nature, but it was also an expression of her confidence that she couldn’t hide. It means they don’t feel threatened in the slightest.

’emotion.’

tyring.

【Sophia Charlotte】

▶Level 37

▶ Ability

【Health: B-】

【Spirit power: S】

【Method: A+】

【Spirit: A-】

▶Characteristics (6/10)

【Haenapbaekcheon (S)】

【Raging Waves (S)】

【Energy Absorption (B+)】

【Growth Acceleration (B)】

【Output Enhancement (B-)】

【Coercion (C+)】

Sophia’s spiritual power almost never dries up thanks to her S-Rank’s spiritual power stat, and the various characteristics that maximize it.

‘Also, the level of output is different even if the same spell is used.’

The reason why the second-year class A students left only a small number of people and went into the general offensive was simple.

It was because everyone knew that Sophia alone was enough to protect the barrier stone.

“… It was still on the D-Class theme.”

Chung Haram, who was next to me, muttered in an unpleasant voice. But still, he secretly avoided his gaze from me.

When I saw it, I was sure that the safety device was working properly.

“Yes? you already knew The top survivors were all confirmed earlier.”

“I didn’t say that because I didn’t know.”

With a look of boredom, Haram Chung covered Sophia’s mouth with her hand.

Her nature would probably feel quite awkward to Chung Haram.

Because he was the complete opposite of himself.

“So, why are you here?”

Sophia smiled brightly and gave her slightly sharp eyes.

To him, I replied with a smile as well.

“To get some more points.”

“… whoops. Does that sound like they came to break our barrier stone?”

“Exactly.”

“I’m sorry, but it’s impossible.”

Sophia declared without thinking.

“I am happy that my skills have improved. To be honest, I just want to make concessions… … . I guess it’s because the grades of the whole class depend on it~”

He didn’t seem to think we could take it away with our skills.

No further conversation was necessary. After exchanging my gaze with Cheongjuhwa, who was beside me, I spread out and entered the battle.

Tap!

‘Tosseo.’

A linkage that was used with first-year B-class students the other day.

At my call, Tosser digs hard and tries to destroy the opponent’s footsteps.

However.

“I have already seen it.”

Whoops.

Kwagak!

Toseo was trapped in a small-scale barrier that was timely unfolded.

Again, my concealment technique doesn’t work against an opponent like this.

But it was fine. Because I didn’t think it would work in the first place.

👌👌👌👌👌👌

“Clean Jujube!”

The scattered Cheongju flowers spread amulets from the top of the tree and unfolded Cheongga’s unique redemption technique.

Keying!

👌👌👌👌

“oh.”

Sophia was tied up in the clean and quick attack, and Cheong Haram also canceled the construction procedure and hurriedly escaped.

“It’s much faster than in practice… … ?”

Leaving behind Sophia, who was slightly admiring, Haram Chung, who had a distorted expression on her face, called out to Cheongjuhwa.

“How did you get kicked out of your family… … !”

“Is there anything special about it? It wasn’t difficult at all.”

Even if it’s a unique magic spell, it should be at least an intermediate type of magic. It would have been simple enough to follow. For Cheongjuhwa, the only one with an EX rank magic skill in the first part.

“As expected, you are also the Hwanmong (幻夢) that Han Kang-yoon wrote in the midterm evaluation… … .”

“I didn’t tell you that.”

In any case, in the midst of a good quarrel, Sophia, who was still smiling relaxedly, broke the restraint at once and counterattacked.

“The Three Six Yellows Picture.”

Dust rose from the floor, blocking the view. At the same time, the same small barrier that contained the toss was created as if restraining my whole body.

‘It’s an incredible robbery.’

If it was this much, it would not have been able to withstand it even if the defense technique had been developed anyway.

Sophia, who caught me, said with a smile.

“Kangyun is out!”

At the same time, Haram Chung, who was building up an attack technique, pointed at me with his finger.

“… I didn’t want it to end like this.”

She shot it with displeasure and tried to recite the starting word for magic. But, suddenly, her mouth stopped as if it had hardened.

“Haram?”

“Ugh, wait a minute… … .”

Seeing Haram staggering as if her condition had deteriorated rapidly, I felt that the time had finally come to carry out the operation.

‘Yeomho.’

[king!]

As I gave the command in my mind, a howling, like the howl of a wolf, began to spread from a distant place.

[──!]

And after a while, with a rustling sound, black bugs jumped out of the bushes.

Flying insects, poisonous insects, and even tiny reptiles of all kinds.

“Hey?”

Haram Chung grimaced, and Sophia, who had been holding me back, let out a sigh and hardened.

‘After all, this is the same as the setting.’

Sophia hates bugs immensely. Even more so with the multi-legged type like the centipede.

“It’s a gift.”

At my words, Sophia’s frozen expression completely changed to a cold one. As if you were a different person than you were before.

“… … there. If you came here to do something like this, no matter how angry I am, would you be a little angry?”

Whoa!

Koo woong.

In an instant, the surrounding air changed 180 degrees.

‘ね.’

Insects, which were advancing vigorously, started toppling over and collapsed, and I, who was tied up, also frowned under the strong pressure.

A monstrous amount of spiritual power. Just by showing it, it was affecting the surroundings.

“… Stop joking around.”

Sophia stared at me as if she was about to eat me and began to walk.

It was the first time I, too, had actually felt this kind of pressure, so my startled heart never calmed down.

But this too, of course, was expected.

“… hey! Barrier Stone!”

Chung Haram, who had not been in a good condition before, shouted hard.

Jigsaw.

now.

Even the one-of-a-kind A-class barrier stone was being affected by the radiation of spiritual power exceeding the permissible value.

“oh!”

Sophia, startled, hastily recovered her spiritual powers. And this is the moment I’ve been waiting for all along.

“Public food greed.”

An intermediate-level curse technique specialized in eroding barriers.

There was also the correction of the financial business figures, so if the situation was disturbed, it was enough to escape Sophia’s barrier.

“Ah?”

The magic that was developed by gathering up to the spiritual power of the four beads of Bari-Ok-Hwan made not only me but also the earthly toss free.

“Tosser!”

[Goo woo.]

Pavabak!

My new model, who broke out of the barrier, instantly fell to the ground.

And I kept moving. The ground with A-class barrier stones, down to the bottom.

“… Come on, wait! Are you rudely there?”

It was Sophia who muttered outrageously, but to make matters worse, even the insects that came to her senses were approaching her because she had harvested her spiritual powers.

“Ugh!”

Even in the harsh conditions of having to solve everything on her own because Chung Haram could not move, Sophia was undefeated.

Whoops.

Woodduck!

First, it neutralized only the insects with the release of spiritual energy with perfect control.

Then, through the roots of the trees moved by his special magic, he lifted the barrier stone from the ground to block my attack.

“awesome. I honestly admired it. However… … .”

From the top of Sophia’s head as she was speaking, she could feel someone’s popularity. It was Cheongju-hwa, who had previously been hiding from Sophia’s magic by concealing it.

flutter.

[Quick!]

[Queek!]

Cheongjuhwa, which was floating in the air with the help of two black swans, fell rapidly and attacked the barrier stone behind Sophia.

“Baekhwa Heat Wave (魄吙裂破).”

Quajiic!

Sophia tried to defend her belatedly, but it was too much.

In a state where nerves were dispersed between me and the insects on the ground, it was unable to detect the concealment technique of Cheongjuhwa, so the reaction was delayed.

“oh. Ah… … ? ah… … ?”

Sophia just stared blankly at it with a bewildered expression on her face.

tyring.

[2-A Class Faction, Destroy the Barrier Stone.]

And almost at the same time, another alarm rang.

[2-B Class Faction, Destroying Barrier Stones.]

It was the moment when the first-year class A, who was left alone, became the winner of the test with a fisherman’s geography.

“… Overall, the standard is high.”

Inside Yeongwoldo, the control tower for exams and the temporary main building where the professors who came with them stay.

The inspectors gathered there are evaluating the contents of the exam with serious faces.

“Certainly compared to 10 years ago, students today… … , how great is that?”

“At our time, there weren’t many people who used intermediate techniques like that.”

“Especially the skills of the upper class students are impeccable. Actually, Miss Charlotte would already be able to compete against a B-grade youkai.”

After a moment of silence, one of the admiring supervisors spoke.

“… To say that the times are changing may not be an absurd statement at all.”

Just as the younger generation is getting more prominent, the youkai that threaten people are also getting stronger day by day.

That something was going to change, everyone in the room was clearly aware.

“Well, it seems like the scores are all set at this point. Let’s talk about something else. It seems like there are students who are concerned.”

“Are you talking about Cheongju-hwa sheep?”

Many of the supervisors nodded their heads involuntarily at those words. Among the freshmen in the first year who could be called the greatest of all time, she stood out in particular.

“her. Does the speed of the operation make sense? When I first saw it, I thought I had presbyopia.”

“To be honest, you were a lot faster than me.”

“How about perfection? Who the hell put him in class B?”

An overseer who hesitated and was unable to participate in the conversation opened his mouth at those words.

“It’s me… … . But it was normal back then… … .”

At that, all the supervisors shut their mouths. It could be enough. Because they also knew roughly the internal affairs of Cheongga.

At that time, the person who brought up the story first opened his mouth again.

“She does too, but I didn’t say that.”

“… … This is Han Kang-yoon.”

This time, everyone nodded as if they understood.

“It has definitely improved. It’s also huge.”

“Look. What did I say? Did something change?”

The man who had been sitting with his legs crossed muttered a complaint. It was Baek Ji-eun, who was in charge of the lower class of general combat training.

“It must be said that the talent that had been stopped has finally been revealed.”

“Honestly, it was weird. If you look closely, you work really hard, but you don’t grow at all.”

“A slope is a slope. You have been rewarded for your hard work.”

However, there were also those who uttered negative opinions on the other hand.

“However, he has a slightly sullen side.”

“Certainly, the way it is exemplary… … .”

Of course, the top priority of Tsinghua Academy was the growth of students, but that did not mean that the spiritual part could not be neglected.

“… The enemies aren’t the only demons.”

The power held by a person tainted with bad thoughts is, in fact, only a weapon. Even now, somewhere in the world, such people are roaming freely.

“Isn’t that enough to be a concern, though? He was a student who tried to protect his classmates even when he was taking risks in his goldsmiths class.”

“It’s true, but the type of magic you use is a little bit… … ”

“… Whoops. That is undeniable.”

Over Ko Da-hye’s shoulder as she shrugged her shoulders, a mysterious woman with long silver hair smiled.

It was Yoo Hye-jin, who was in charge of the first semester comprehensive exam and was also a first-class exorcist.

“If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be time to check it out in the next exam?”

“… Next exam?”

“Yes. Do you have someone who is just right for you? The second test requires group composition, so we will try it together once.”

“… Are you talking about her in 1st grade? Well, if it goes well, you will be able to get a glimpse of some of the fundamental tendencies. There doesn’t seem to be anything bad about it.”

“Then by doing so. Anyway, I’m just 18 years old. Isn’t it good to get involved too much?”

It’s not wrong. There’s nothing wrong with just being careful.

At Yoo Hye-jin’s suggestion, the supervisors all nodded their heads.

***

Immediately after the first test was over, reflecting the fact that each other’s mental exhaustion was great, the students gathered together according to the instructions and had a break.

and the next day. The grouping time of the 2nd test.

‘… At least.’

When I saw the name of the team member floating on the terminal, I had to let out a sigh.

[Han Seo-ah]

‘… after.’

It was truly a moment that took my breath away.
