Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Chapter 54

‘I’m also chasing you.’

The academy’s uniforms and beautiful silver hair fluttering. Either way, it’s Arietta Morgan.

Although it is simply jumping and moving, it maintains a speed almost equal to that of a tuning fork. No, on the contrary, the distance seems to be narrowing little by little.

Looking at the status window, it wasn’t that he was particularly good at physical abilities, but that meant he was good at strengthening magic.

‘I’m not sure, but if this is enough, I’m sure I’ll be at the top of the graduating class.’

Even if Sophia and Hwang Ji-hak, who are currently in their sophomore year, are compared, they are not pushed at all. Rather, the more experience you have, the more likely you are to be ahead.

In the end, I had no choice but to give up on the run and stop for a moment.

turuk.

“Is the escape over?”

“Because I thought I was going to be caught before I reached my destination anyway.”

Arietta caught her breath for a moment, and then began to stare at me with her characteristic blank face.

“It’s quite a skill, but I don’t remember it.”

“You must have heard the name. Because I am the only cadet who has been demoted from rank A to rank D.”

“… If that’s the case, I’m sure you’ve heard of it.”

Arietta opened her eyes very slightly, as if there was such a person, and gave me a sympathetic gaze.

Then he straightened his expression and opened his mouth again.

“Don’t be vigilant. I am not weak now.”

Obviously, the way he spoke and things like that were similar to the Arietta I knew, but strangely, I didn’t feel the negative emotions when he stopped Yoo Ha-on and his party as the boss of the story.

‘… Are you saying I’m still just an academy cadet?’

To check the facts more accurately, I decided to sneak up on Arietta.

“Have you ever harbored intense hatred for someone?”

This is a retelling of what Arietta had said to Yoo Ha-on.

If the current woman already has the heart to commit an evil deed, there must be a reaction.

However, Arietta only tilted her head and made an expression that she did not understand the English language.

“… sorry. There is no such thing.”

And, he looked at me with an even more pitiful expression.

No, it wasn’t really my thing.

“Still, I can’t just let you go. Because it’s work.”

In any case, the present Arietta is still different from the original appearance. There seemed to be no doubt about that.

Arietta looked at the watch on her wrist and sentenced me.

“The rule is that if you hold out for five minutes, you send it out. There are three minutes left.”

It seems that the time spent in the pursuit was included. I felt a sense of conscience being pricked by an unknown kindness.

So, at least for the rest of the time, I decided to take the game seriously.

Whoops.

remorse.

“No fuss, scoundrel.”

Whoops!

Fuwaak!

[Kehihik!]

“… Burn it.”

Gongsam, Noongsugwi, and even Souriso. There are three powerful shikigami at level 40.

Arietta looked up at me with a slightly disgusted look at the magnificence.

“… That number is cowardly.”

“It’s a test, so there’s nothing you can do.”

Arietta began to raise her spiritual power with a strangely dissatisfied expression, as if she was a little offended.

Whoops.

“Taebaek is Gongryun.”

“What, wait… … .”

“Taoyuan is goodness.”

I hurriedly stopped him, but Arietta didn’t seem to have any intention of stopping.

I also borrowed the power of Phase 2 of the illusion delay in the previous Yeongwol-do incident and used the high-level technique of redemption, Palgongseonhamanju (汃攻旋荷罔駐).

Even though it’s a restraint technique, to use such a spell on a subject that is in a position to be tested, there is no such thing as overkill.

‘Can’t this be broken?’

Exactly, the fracture method exists, but at my current level, it is close to impossible.

“The Palgong Seon Ha Mangju (汃攻旋荷罔駐).”

Fuwaak!

Soon, a wave of spiritual power came rushing in like a tidal wave, and everyone fell into a state of incapacity except for Gong Sam-i, who fled with his unique physical ability.

“That kid is quick. But I got the rest.”

Arietta stared at me with an eerie expression on her face for some reason.

No, I don’t think it’s something to be proud of at all.

Despite my resentment, Arietta walked over and sat down in front of me, continuing to speak.

“I’ll release you in an hour. You can probably get through.”

I struggled to ignore those words, and glanced at the location of the token she was carrying.

If you look closely, you can see that the badge is made in the form of a necklace and wearing it. After confirming that, I raised the corners of my lips.

“… Burn it?”

Whoops!

When I looked at him, Gongsam kept fire in his mouth and shot it in a straight line.

To be precise, on the path where Arietta and I are both targeted.

Whoa!

“… what.”

Arietta hurriedly started blocking it with a defensive spell, as if she didn’t know it could spit out fire, but thanks to that, the rear became completely defenseless.

And then, I summoned a black swan from the shadows to snatch Arietta’s token.

Fuwaak!

[Good profit!]

thump.

“What?”

As if she was embarrassed when the necklace’s string was torn off, her defense technique was disturbed for a moment.

Then, Gong Sam-i jumped through the gap and shot a small fireball.

Not Arietta, but me.

Whoops!

Whoops!

“Wow, what are you doing!”

Arietta was terrified and ran to put out the fire on me, but unfortunately, it was nothing to worry about.

As long as the purifying fire attribute exists, Gongsam-i’s fire will not do any damage to me, but will only shatter the enemy’s magic.

After escaping from the redemption technique, he called into the shadows through the illusion delay characteristic.

Then he summoned the trigger again and rode on it.

slinky.

“Three minutes, it’s all over.”

As I left, waving the token and calling even Gong-sam, she only watched me with blank eyes.

***

After crossing Arietta, to be honest, there were no difficulties.

The destination was a structure that could only be reached by climbing a mountain beyond the plain, and there was attacked by other examinees who were aiming for a token, but frankly, it was not very intimidating.

“… What is it that makes you so strong?”

“Ah Mr. Hey, is that definitely a D-Class? Did you bully me?”

Having defeated the predators so easily, I was finally able to climb all the mountains and set foot at the destination.

“1 hour and 17 minutes. You came in first place, and you even got a badge. Had a lot of trouble Are there any injuries?”

“Nothing.”

“… That’s great.”

Cheong Hae-in, the supervisor of this practical test, looked at me with a meaningful expression and smiled satisfied.

After about 5 minutes, the second passer reached the top of the mountain. It was Cheongjuhwa.

“… When did you arrive?”

“Not long ago.”

“I thought it was going to be number one. What’s so fast?”

As we chatted with the grunting sake, the third passer-by also appeared.

One of the main characters in Chapter 2 is Viola, an exchange student.

She saw me and the cheongju flower, which had arrived first, and started to take a break after completing the procedure, biting her tongue as if it was a pity.

After that, passers-by poured out one after another. Seo Ji-an was the seventh to arrive at the destination with a very casual look, probably not taking too much energy.

“I expected it, but it’s still number one.”

“Luck was with me.”

“… Did you bring proof?”

And after the time limit passed and all the tests were over, we joined the stragglers and finally got out of the barrier.

“The results of the test will be notified through the personal terminal immediately tomorrow. After that, you can join a new class according to the guided schedule or keep your original life.”

There are no results yet, but frankly, I don’t think any of the three of us would have failed the promotion.

As the flow of the original work, Cheongju-hwa will join the 1-A class, and Nana and Seo Ji-an will also be placed in the same A-class as Sophia and Hwang Ji-hak.

In a way, it could be said that this is the truly full-fledged starting point.

‘The events in Chapter 2 are quite bad in character.’

Events such as presentations and festivals that exude the scent of the academy develop in their own way, and they often give the player a high level of crisis without even preparing for it.

Even in our experience so far, the effect of Hell difficulty cannot be ignored.

In the end, being aware of all that fact, I had to be more alert.

Recalling that mindset, I walked along the trail I often go to, and found a familiar face walking from the front. It was Seo-ah.

“brother? Is the exam over?”

“It’s just been finished.”

“result… … . There is no need to ask.”

Perhaps she read the sadness on my face, Seo-ah smiled a little and conveyed her congratulations.

After sitting on a nearby bench and talking for a while, it was already getting dark.

“By the way, brother, I had something to tell you.”

“What?”

“Even during this vacation, I couldn’t go because of training, so I wanted to go to the nursery once a weekend,”

In other words, Seo-ah was telling me to go with her.

‘… It’s the nursery school where Han Kang-yoon grew up.’

As an incident will occur there later, it would not be bad to learn it at least once.

I wondered if it was Han Kang-yoon’s birth or the past.

I didn’t have any memories of Han Kang-yoon before, so I was a little concerned, but it’s something I’ll have to face someday anyway. I made up my mind and gave Seo-ah the answer.

“Then, shall we go this weekend without wasting time?”

“yes. I’ll call the manager.”

So the next day, I first checked the results of the promotion test delivered through the terminal.

The result is, of course, acceptable. Cheongju-hwa and Seo Ji-an, who took the exam together, seemed to have succeeded in getting promoted.

‘It’s been less than an hour.’

After checking the contents, it is said that after the weekend is over, you can join Class A immediately from next week.

Most of the courses taken are transferred as they are, but when the upper class and lower class are divided like the general combat practice, they are all transferred to the upper class.

In a way, it was a remarkable achievement, but we should not be complacent here.

‘A class has all the outstanding talents.’

I have neither growth accelerometer characteristics nor extraordinary genius, but in order to keep up with their success rate, I have no choice but to mobilize all means to make an effort.

‘If it wasn’t for Seo-ah’s companion character, it might have been more difficult than I thought.’

Even now, he is already feeling the gap in talent with the main and supporting actors. Obviously, the higher the level, the worse it will be.

However, I had no intention of letting go and just looking around.

‘If you can’t overcome this handicap, you can’t be a stagnant person because it’s embarrassing.’

As part of that, first of all, you have to figure out everything about ‘I’.

I closed my eyes and fell asleep as I carefully looked at the location of a nursery school on the map app on my smartphone.
