Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Chapter 55

After waking up, I had a quick breakfast and left the dormitory at the promised time.

I decided to meet Seo-ah on the bench on the promenade where I had a conversation yesterday. After waiting there for about 5 minutes, Seo-ah, dressed neatly in plain clothes, appeared.

“… Did you wait long?”

“no. I just came.”

So we went outside the academy together, leaving a log of entry and exit.

It’s been three hours since we changed trains and buses. In addition, after walking for quite a long time, we were finally able to reach our destination.

It was Hallym Nursery School located in Daejeon.

“this way! Drive this way!”

“Because it’s not there!”

In the small playground, children were playing, and behind it, you can see an old-fashioned building with a fairly large scale.

As we approached the place with Seo-ah, the children suddenly found us and began to flock to us with admiration.

“It’s my brother and my sister!”

“sister!”

After barely waving goodbye while holding onto the memories that were so scarce, we headed inside the nursery where the director was.

“Oh my, Kang Yoon is here! I’ve grown taller than a bird I haven’t seen.”

In the middle, the nursery teachers recognized me and greeted me, but I couldn’t remember either.

“Master. My brother and I are here.”

The person he met was a middle-aged woman who had already started to grow gray hair.

Even though she didn’t remember it either, a subtle feeling rose up for some reason as to whether her body remembered it.

“Yeah, everyone, eat well and don’t overdo it.”

“Do not worry. I will take good care of you too.”

After talking with the principal for a while, we started to freely wander around the orphanage for a while.

I met the children I had been with along the way, and it was difficult, but somehow it was possible to get over it.

I was aware of Han Kang-yoon’s personality through the knowledge of the original story, and it was basically because I and Han Kang-yoon had a lot of similarities.

After a long time, Seo-ah came to the orphanage together, so she kept talking to her with a face that reminded her of various memories.

“Remember here? When the bed first came in, everyone loved it.”

“… It did. It is a thing of the past.”

Every time I heard this kind of thing, I somehow felt frustrated in my stomach.

And at the same time, all of a sudden, forgotten questions start to surface one by one.

What happened to Han Kang-yoon before?

Did he really die for some reason before I came in?

In order to find out about Han Kang-yoon’s past, I asked the director several things), but it seemed that even the director didn’t know for sure about Han Kang-yoon’s birth parents or birth.

However, when I found the abandoned me, it seems that an earring that appeared to be my parent’s belongings was placed there.

‘There was definitely nothing like that among Han Kang-yoon’s things.’

At first, it was said that they had it well, but it was a matter that had no choice but to leave a question.

But, coincidentally, I was able to obtain the item shortly after.

“… Brother, over there.”

A child who looks like a middle school student with dull, curly blond hair. Henry was half American.

“what’s the matter?”

“Here, this. In fact, I happened to see him that day, and I ended up bringing it with me.”

What Henry gave me was a one-piece earring engraved with an unusual pattern.

“I saw the one that hyung threw directly into the mountain, but it’s a treasured keepsake, so I can’t just leave it behind… … .”

Somehow it wasn’t in his belongings, so it seems that for some reason, Han Kang-yoon was trying to throw away the earrings his parents left him in the mountains.

However, that wasn’t the point.

As I carefully looked at the earrings, I was soon enveloped in a great shock.

‘… This, why are you here?’

At first, it was a simple feeling of incongruity, but upon closer inspection, I was convinced. I definitely know the identity of these earrings.

That’s right, because this was the item worn by an important person in the story of Gaiden Dengeki in Exorcism High.

“brother? What is it? Are you sick?”

“… no. Thank you for taking care of me.”

Having received the earrings from Henry, I swallowed my saliva and trudged out of the orphanage building.

‘Can you do this?’

If this is really something Han Kang-yoon’s parents left behind, I honestly couldn’t be more embarrassed.

This earring was the hero of the 1st White Ghost Night Journey, but eventually came to an end as a rare villain.

And it was because he was the one who killed the parents who the main character, Ha-on Yoo, was desperately searching for.

After that, on the way back to the academy, I can’t remember what conversation I had with Seo-ah.

To be honest, I wasn’t in the mood to do that, and it wasn’t even possible. Because the truth that was too sudden appeared in front of me.

‘Is Han Kang-yoon’s father really Joo-woon?’

In the first place, there was no mention of Joo Woon’s child in the original work.

However, to that extent, there are, of course, countless cases remaining.

In fact, it meant that there was always a possibility that Han Kang-yoon was the son of Joo-woon.

If so, frankly, it’s not pleasant.

In the past, I bluntly gave advice to Yoo Ha-on, who can’t let go of regrets about her parents, to live in the present first.

But isn’t it that I am the son of the one who killed them?

‘This is how things are going… … .’

Even if Han Kang-yoon and I were distinctly different beings, it wasn’t something we could happily give up on.

I got quite frustrated because I had a lot of thoughts, so I frowned a little.

“Brother, are you okay? Where are you sick?”

“… No, I just feel a little upset.”

It would have been better if I hadn’t known. However, the moment I recognized that fact, I couldn’t ignore it.

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come to a conclusion. In the end, I had no choice but to return to the academy with a complicated heart.

“… Go in and get some rest. Do you have a first aid kit?”

“yes. don’t worry, it’s ok Go in first.”

Unable to calm down, I returned Seo-ah to the dormitory and went around the academy alone on the promenade.

However, I soon regretted that choice. In all likelihood, on the shore of the lake where we had talked before, I ran into Yoo Ha-on, whom I didn’t want to meet the most.

“… hello. Were you on a walk?”

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, I hid Jooun’s earrings in my pocket deeper. And I started talking to Yoo Ha-on.

“I haven’t slept yet.”

“It is a coincidence. So did I.”

After looking at the night sky for a while, Ha-on Yu opened her mouth again, moving her gaze to the stars reflected on the lake shore.

“Last time I learned a lot.”

“… What?”

“A lot of stuff. Whether it’s the fighting style in practice, or the mindset. Thanks to that, I think I was able to set my goals a little more clearly.”

The more we talked, the more complicated it became.

If the information I found out a while ago is true, even hearing such an evaluation from Yoo Ha-on may eventually become a kind of deception.

Doubts start to entangle their tails, and gradually become a concrete reality in their minds.

Currently, Han Kang-yoon is 18 years old. Considering that there may be some margin of error since he is an orphan, the timing is quite right with Jooun’s actions.

There is clearly a possibility that this is not the case, but all the circumstances support the fact that the information I have learned is true.

In the end, I couldn’t stand this indescribable feeling and answered Yoo Ha-on.

“… That’s too much of an overstatement.”

To accept it as a simple favor, I am still not comfortable with it.

“It feels great enough to me.”

“… … .”

I know it’s a pointless problem to worry about anyway, but I can’t help but worry about it.

What if Yoo Ha-on, who is in front of you, finds out about my birth through some kind of path after checking her past in the story?

‘… It’s a family I hate to even think about.’

From that point onward, you will simply become a child of the enemy. It was a natural and simple fact.

‘If that happens, the relationship will become even more complicated.’

Of course, it would be unfair from my point of view, but to be honest, it is entirely my circumstances that I possessed Han Kang-yoon. Whatever it was, it meant that there was no excuse for anyone else.

‘I don’t think that will happen, but… … .’

Maybe you don’t know Things are really twisted and twisted, and one day, that information might even flow into Yoo Ha-on.

I glanced slightly and asked a question as if thinking about Yoo Ha-on.

“What if I was actually a very sinful person?”

“… Did I do something wrong?”

“Maybe.”

At my complaint, Yoo Ha-on smiled slightly as if he was saying something strange.

“It didn’t look that way to me.”

“That doesn’t really mean anything.”

“If you say that, I have nothing to say… … .”

Yoo Ha-on, who sat on the shore of the lake and touched the water surface with his fingers, spoke again.

“At least from what I’ve been through and felt, he’s a decent enough person.”

Hearing Yoo Ha-on’s words like that, somehow, I felt a little more at ease.

At the same time, I decided to make a new resolution.

Even if Han Kang-yoon is really Joo-woon’s son, in the end, the things I have to do don’t change.

So, I will make Yoo Ha-on the main character and put an end to all these stories.

The deviation of the story, or the variable of Hell difficulty, must be dealt with somehow to create a path forward.

That was what I had to do here.

***

After resting in the dormitory for the rest of the weekend, fortunately, my thoughts were sorted out to some extent.

‘It’s a bit uncomfortable, but as a result, as long as I keep my mouth shut, there’s no problem.’

It’s Monday, and now it’s time to focus on the future again.

I gathered my consciousness and moved towards the A-Class meeting place.

“So, two new people joined the A class. I am Seo Ji-an from Class B and Kang-yoon Han from Class D.”

The professor in charge of Class A was a woman with a pretty familiar face. That’s Baek Ji-eun. Originally, he was in charge of the lower class of general combat training, but it seems that he changed his position after the Yeongwol Island incident.

“I’m Kangyun~ Hello!”

Sophia greeted her with her signature smile, while Haram Chung turned her head with a disgusted expression on her face.

The reaction of the other cadets is mostly an expression of surprise.

It would be surprising to see that he was suddenly promoted to A-class from D-class, which was at the bottom.

“… I fell from class A to class D, then came back to class A.”

“It’s like stock.”

After all, coming up to Class A, I saw quite a few cadets who had their faces reflected in the original.

Han-sol and Shin So-ra are the next most talented people after the chief and the second.

Grace is Sophia’s best friend and childhood friend.

His abilities aren’t particularly special, but he shows up frequently in the story, such as Adrian, who was called a public official.

All of them were sufficiently large and small to cause variables in the story.

As I checked the faces of those students, I once again recalled the future events in my head.

Unfortunately, it is a fact that in the end they all get involved in events one after another, as if they were taking turns.

In the beginning, being a sophomore in the Exorcism High series was always such a position.

Naturally, there is a good chance that I too will one day unintentionally become involved in an incident or stand at the center of the story.

‘In the end, only the sky knows what will happen and how.’

And one of the main events of Chapter 2, which is scheduled for the first time, is the public presentation.

First of all, from there.

There, I will make on my side the person of the past who was the hero of the 1st Baekgwi Nights incident.
