Episode 63

‘How many people did you kill?’

That’s a very disconcerting word.

But on the other hand, from those words, I could understand what kind of misunderstanding she had been immersed in so far.

‘Are they the ghosts who were separated from Gongsam?’

One of her characteristics, Jujeongan, has the ability to understand to some extent the essence of the object she is facing.

It was evident that Shin So-ra noticed the existence of hundreds of thousands of ghosts attached to me as a distinguishing feature.

“Wait a minute, you have to come.”

“What’s wrong? A soul full of resentment clings to it so tightly?”

“It’s true that you have ghosts, but it’s not what you think.”

He protested desperately, but he didn’t seem to believe it.

To that, I hurriedly continued explaining, citing various reasons.

“Then, how many ghosts do you see?”

“… I’m not sure, but it’s probably over 100,000.”

“From there, think common-sense. How did you take the lives of over 100,000 people in the first place? If that were true, I would have already been wanted internationally.”

In fact, Hecktail is such a case.

He was on the wanted list all the time after he put a state in the United States in fear with a gold technique that gathered the hearts of 10,000 people.

Hearing that, Shin Sora nodded her head slightly, thinking that there was some truth to it.

“Certainly it is. Then, what is the identity of those ghosts?”

After the hostility had diminished to some extent, I slowly explained what had happened in the garrison and delivered the source of the ghosts.

In the end, he even summoned Gongsam and confirmed it as evidence.

“Hey, this is the bull-dokkaebi… … . It looks smaller than I thought, doesn’t it?”

“… Burn it.”

Shin So-ra, who keeps stroking her hair, was in danger of being turned into a sea of fire by Gong-sam, who was annoyed, but fortunately, all misunderstandings were resolved in the end.

Only then did Shin Sora lift her vigilance and begin to have a proper conversation with me.

“You seem pretty close with Haram, don’t you? To be honest, I was shocked.”

“I’m not particularly friendly. If we don’t have work, we don’t get along with each other.”

“That’s friendly enough. Haram has a pretty bad personality. Actually, I don’t have many friends other than me.”

As a friend, I spit out quite bitter feelings. For some reason, it seemed like he knew why Chung Haram was weak to Shin Sora.

In the meantime, I suddenly felt curious and asked a question to Sora Shin.

“Then, what did I look like when I used that ability?”

It certainly wouldn’t have been normal.

When I glanced at him as if urging, Shin So-ra glanced at him and confided the answer.

“It’s just, sometimes, it’s all covered in something dark, so it’s hard to see what it really is.”

“… … .”

At that, I slowly turned my gaze away. If that’s the case, it’s probably not only the ghosts, but also the influence of the financial industry that has reached its limit.

“It was the first time I had ever seen it, so I honestly thought it was suspicious. Sorry for the misunderstanding.”

“I don’t care. My country would have done the same.”

I first found out thanks to Sora Shin. When I use the same characteristics as the identification plan, my current self is reflected that way.

‘… You’ll need to be a little careful with this.’

So far, it has been used well so that it does not show any blemishes, but in fact, the perception of gold alcohol differs in many ways depending on its contents.

In particular, the use of magic that has been determined to be dangerous by the Exorcism Headquarters is strictly prohibited. You can tell by looking at the family of Yoo Hye-yeon, who is the mastermind of this attack.

‘Of course, I’m confident that I can handle any kind of magic, but… … .’

From the point of view of the Exorcism Headquarters, there is no way to consider such circumstances one by one.

Because of that, I, too, would be in trouble if there was an element to be caught on purpose.

It seemed that sufficient attention should be paid to the characteristics with similar effects to the discriminant plan.

“As an apology, I’ll buy you a meal later. Well then, see you next time.”

After the conversation, we left the training ground and parted.

A new concern has arisen, but it is not bad considering that the misunderstanding has been cleared up in advance.

‘And, it’s a judgment plan.’

I hadn’t thought of it before, but it seemed that Shin Sora’s characteristics could be used in various ways in some cases.

Maybe even at a festival event that will start soon.

‘… … .’

Thinking of the number of cases, I carefully watched Shin So-ra’s back face as she tried to hide her troubled mind.

***

Time passed quickly, and the academy’s cadets were busy preparing for the festival regardless of their grade level.

“Then, today’s class ends here. We hope that everyone will come together on the day the field trip is scheduled.”

So, finally, the festival began.

Of the three-day schedule, the main version was the last day, so it was possible for each to spend their time freely during the preceding two days.

‘… Well, even if you can act freely.’

Considering that the incident will happen only two days later, it is impossible to just rest comfortably.

Also, considering the cases so far, there is no guarantee that the raid will necessarily take place on the last day.

So I had no choice but to wander the festival site aimlessly, feeling like I was on patrol.

“Shall we go over there?”

“It looks like something is being prepared from the central plaza.”

“Hey, how about a glass of special drink?”

The cadets, the staff inside the academy, and all sorts of outsiders.

As I was shooting through the gaps of various people, my steps started to get heavier faster than I thought.

‘I’m feeling unnecessarily tired… … .’

It’s definitely not an efficient behavior.

If you maintain a state of tension like this and lose strength when you really need to move, it is difficult as it is.

Eventually, while I was sitting on a bench near the promenade and recovering my stamina for a while, someone approached me. It was Seo Ji-an.

“Why are you running around in such a hurry? Are you looking for anything?”

“… It’s not like that.”

“Then, hang out with us for a moment.”

After pondering for a while, I accepted Seo Ji-an’s proposal. I haven’t noticed anything strange around here, so it probably won’t be a problem today.

“ruler.”

remorse.

After we decided to act together, the first thing Seo Ji-an gave me was a special drink that I was selling on the street earlier.

“An energy drink developed by a third-year cadet. He looked tired all the time.”

“… I will eat well.”

Have you been teased that much?

I took the drink by massaging my entire face with both hands once.

After swallowing a few sips like that, I definitely feel better than before.

“It made me worry. sorry.”

“Is it because of the tour guide in two days? I’m just tired of paying attention already.”

Seo Ji-an didn’t know what was going to happen at that time, but it wasn’t wrong. I took the advice and decided to put my mind at ease.

“By the way, what’s going on? I think I heard that you were going to a lecture held by a graduate.”

“It is already over. And from there, I got the information I was interested in.”

The place that Seo Ji-an took me to was the quiz booth in Area B, where all kinds of entertainment were gathered.

“A heart-to-heart game?”

“… It seems that the economic book that the graduate himself wrote is a limited edition product.”

Seo Ji-an spoke with a look of embarrassment for some reason. Hell, it must have been quite unfamiliar for her to recommend such a game to others, as she is no different from a wealthy girl.

I inquired separately, but it seemed that there was only one book and it was impossible to purchase separately.

‘That’s why you brought me here.’

Since it was a game in which individual participation was impossible, one partner was absolutely necessary. At that, I nodded while checking the contents of the game.

“Okay. I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to get it.”

“… That’s enough. thank you.”

The content of the game is to pick one of the two words presented each round, and pass if it matches each other.

And it was a condition for obtaining the product to succeed ten times in a row.

At first glance, the best score so far is 6 points. If no perfect score is reached by tonight, prizes will be awarded to the team with the highest score.

‘If it’s Seo Ji-an’s taste, I know it’s in her own way… … .’

Although there was little presence in the main story, as I said, it was so popular that it was often included as an appendix in the setting book.

And, of course, it has been a long time since I’ve known all of that.

“Come on, Kang-yoon Han and Ji-an Seo in second grade A, let’s get started!”

The cadet as the host began to turn the signpost, and I read it quickly.

The first option is to ask for a color that is close to your taste. Fortunately, for such a simple item, the answer is clearly known.

“Blue.”

“Ah, pass! Good start. Then we move on to the next question.”

This time, it is an item asking which one you like more, a dog or a cat.

Knowing this too, I continued my answer without hesitation.

“cat.”

“It passed again! From now on, the difficulty will gradually increase!”

Obviously, the more I answered the questions, the more difficult the topic became. If it was Adrian, not Sergean, behind me now, I can be sure that I would have disagreed.

However, with Seo Ji-an, no matter what question was asked, it was not difficult to find an answer.

In the end, we passed all ten problems and got applause from the spectators who watched, and we got our limited product.

After the game, Seo Ji-an left Area B while holding the book in her arms with a satisfied expression.

And at the same time, it showed a strange sign.

“… Have I always talked about my tastes like that?”

“There were a few issues I was sure of. It was all my feelings.”

“You have a good sense. To be honest, I thought it was definitely wrong from the middle.”

Seo Ji-an seemed to be in a pretty good mood. I heard that the author of Hagiya is a rising star in the field now, so it must be a valuable treasure for Seo Ji-an, the successor of Daejin Industries.

“… Since we met before, would you like to wander around a bit more?”

“great. I was just about to clear my head a bit.”

So, I was relieved of the pressure for a while and enjoyed the festival with a light heart.

and realized The festival, which I thought was just a passing event, was unexpectedly quite enjoyable when I encountered it and experienced it in person.

‘… … .’

So I had no choice but to harden my heart.

Because I knew better than anyone else in the world what kind of hell this festival would turn into two days later.

I originally intended to get involved, but now as a cadet of the academy rather than as a player, I like the festival.

‘This is not a place for mere revenge.’

It doesn’t matter what variable comes in. This is a veteran who has passed more crises in the future several times.

‘Two days ahead.’

The two days passed safely.

That was exactly what I had to do right now.
