Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Episode 73

Time passed, and the morning of the second semester comprehensive exam finally dawned.

However, to us who were gathered after seeing the notice that flew in in a hurry last night, Baek Ji-eun opened her mouth with a puzzled expression.

“Maybe some of you have heard the news this morning, but the exam has been postponed all of a sudden.”

“yes? Acting?”

“I do not know the circumstances, but it seems that our Chunghwa Academy was invited to an event hosted by the Royal Spanish Academy.”

Baek Ji-eun’s words were completely unexpected even for me.

‘… Was there an event like this in the first place?’

Since the 2nd semester’s comprehensive exam was conducted separately for each grade level, the original article focused on the 1st grade exam with the main characters and there was no mention of the 2nd grade.

Therefore, it was difficult to guess whether this was the case before or if the future has been reversed.

‘If it’s the Royal Academy of Spain, it’s a prestigious institution that is quite well-known in terms of setting.’

A force that first appeared in the third part of the series, where many stories are unfolding in a foreign country.

I remember that their status was evaluated to be higher than the Cheonghwa Academy in their own country as well as in the world.

At Baek Ji-eun’s words, the eyes of the nearby cadets were focused on one place.

It was on the side of Adrian, an exchange student from the Royal Spanish Academy.

“… But why? It’s the first I’ve ever heard of it.”

“No, I’m just curious.”

“Hey, it’s very famous in Europe.”

Most of the responses were that it was quite surprising, but the general opinion was that there would be nothing bad if the exam was delayed.

“It’s a bit rude to say no. So, that’s why we select applicants. All expenses will be borne by you. Most of the people with excellent grades or interpreters will be able to go.”

“What is the schedule?”

“First, I participate in the event, and after that, I have a separate schedule. It was decided in haste, but we have a plan that is not bad by adding free time in our own way, so please check the notice before applying.”

After delivering only relevant information, Baek Ji-eun quickly left the place saying she was busy.

Because it was quite special news, the cadets of the class began to heat up with stories related to each other.

“But why us? It’s probably not that there aren’t any famous academies nearby.”

“Surely it is. There is no link like this.”

After all, it was Adrian who answered the cadets’ questions.

“In the atmosphere at the time I was there, there were quite a few people who were interested in oriental magic. Perhaps it has no effect.”

If so, it’s definitely understandable. Perhaps, as there has not been a conspicuous connection with them so far, it is highly probable that the upper level of the academy also wanted to increase exchanges with this opportunity.

‘… Interesting, but should I go for this?’

After thinking about it for a while, Jeonghan-sol, who seemed to be lost in thought, approached me.

“Hmm. It’s a sudden foreign trip. Kang Yoon, are you going?”

“Well.”

“Young’s reaction is cool. Still don’t you know? Maybe go and meet the famous princess. According to Adrian, they are in the same grade as us.”

Speaking of a princess, to me, it’s a far-off country.

After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that it would be better for me to remain at the academy.

It was much easier to train here, and even if we accompany him, it doesn’t seem like it will really help him grow.

If you go to an unfamiliar place to relieve your energy, it would be better to just do what you were doing quietly.

“Spain? Oh, did you say you were invited to an event?”

“uh. What did you say?”

Still, I had to finish grasping the situation, so I decided to go to Cheongju-hwa, a freshman, to get information.

“It is said that we select only a few of the applicants and take them. Wasn’t the original first-year student not the target? So, the exam was postponed for the first time.”

The first year exams have also been postponed. It was clear that this was certainly not an event in the original.

‘Butterfly effect? Or is it simply an event that only exists in Hell difficulty?’

As there is a change in the event according to the difficulty from the beginning, it could not be denied that this was also a part of the main story as it was newly added.

If so, there is also one thing to check.

I asked a question while looking at the cheongju flower throwing the amulet at the target for practice.

“Has anyone decided to go to first-year class A?”

“Haon and Eunseo have already applied. It’s an opportunity to broaden your horizons or something. Maybe because my grades are good, I’ll be able to get on with it, right?”

“Thank you for letting me know. you?”

“I do not know. I don’t know if it’s close to Japan, but to be honest, it’s a bit cumbersome to go there… … .”

It certainly is. I nodded my head in agreement.

In any case, Yoo Ha-on, the main character, accompanies him. That said, it seemed likely that it was a new story added exclusively for Hell difficulty.

‘If this happens, I have no choice but to follow.’

It’s already Hell difficulty. I can’t even imagine what kind of incident I’m going to face.

If anything happened to Yoo Ha-on and his party there, it was an irreparable loss.

“But why? Will you go?”

“I’m a little worried.”

“Can you use the interpreter?”

“uh.”

To be honest, my heart has already been devastated. In order to respond to the variable, I too had to be at the center of the event.

“Hey, don’t even go to places like that, and even train with me here.”

“It has not been decided yet. And now there are A-class kids.”

“… Without it, I’m bored.”

I couldn’t hear him well because he spoke like a whisper. When I turned my head to express my intention, Cheongju-hwa slightly pouted, took out another amulet and threw it at the target.

“That’s Okay. If you want to go, you go. What.”

“… … .”

“Please bring a souvenir or something when you come.”

In the end, after checking the notice, I submitted an application to the Academy Administration.

***

Whether my performance in the promotion exam was reflected well, fortunately, my application was accepted without any problems.

So, now, I have gathered with the personnel who are going to the Royal Academy of Spain and, following the guidance of the professors, to the airport.

‘The number of arguments is smaller than expected.’

The total number of people is about twenty. Most likely, the second year students were the most, and the first and third year students were less than that.

“This is Kang Yoon. Hello~”

As expected, there are many familiar faces.

Including Sophia, who just greeted me, Hansol and Adrian, Hwang Jigwa and Lee Jicheol. And how many people in the first year?

Each of them greeted me, and among them was Arietta, a senior in the class.

“… Why are you senior?”

Due to the characteristics of Arietta that I have seen so far, I thought that there was no way to accompany me to such a troublesome event, which is quite surprising.

“Last time, my grandmother said that good things will come if you hang out with your juniors.”

He seemed to know what was going on before and after. It was clear that I was going to attach Arietta next to me, who had a huge streak of fate, so that I could be affected by it as much as possible.

‘In order to deflect non-aggression prophecies.’

It was a little annoying because it was obvious that it would stick around throughout the trip, but for that reason, it can’t be helped.

Since I promised once, I was going to cooperate as much as possible to the extent possible.

Then I suddenly got a question and asked Arietta.

“Isn’t your senior a friend you often go to with?”

“There is a junior here.”

“Except me.”

In response to that question, Arietta made a slightly puzzled expression.

“My classmates are a little hard on me. And the friend I used to hang out with has already obtained the qualification and went to the current position.”

“… … .”

After all, most of the seniors who have decided on a career path leave the academy before the end of their academic year.

Also, for those with whom there was no interaction, Arieta, who was at the top of the class, would have been quite difficult to deal with, so it was not unusual to go alone every day.

“Then, unless something special happens, we act together.”

“yes. If not, I think so.”

“… But if it bothers you too much, I’ll just leave it alone and go alone.”

So we flew to Madrid, the capital of Spain for a long time.

There was already a welcome crowd from the Royal Academy at the airport. They took us to our destination on a pre-arranged bus.

After closing my eyes for a moment, I heard one of the Insol professors having a conversation with the guide and listened.

“Heh heh, let’s hear it, I heard that this decision is being touched by the royal family without knowing it or not.”

“Yes. The upper floors are very much looking forward to meeting you. In particular, the Crown Prince is very interested in oriental magic.”

“It is an honor again. I hope we can get what we want from each other.”

Apparently, Adrian’s words were true.

‘The Crown Prince.’

Unlike reality, the royal authority is special in the worldview of the Exorcism series.

Since a long time ago, we have been fighting monsters for the survival of mankind, so there are many cases where people with powerful powers and abilities are appointed as kings. Even in modern times, each lineage has inherited the power of its predecessors in most cases.

‘In Korea, it feels like a direct lineage of a famous family.’

I’m not sure because the series is different, but I remember that a fairly special ability was probably inherited from the Spanish royal family.

As I was thinking about the royal family, Jeonghan-sol, who was in the back seat, spoke to me with a meaningful smile.

“Last time, he said he wasn’t interested. After all, is it because of the princess too?”

“It’s not like that. At first, I was a student, but in reality, it would be difficult to even say a word.”

“Yeah, but what’s the fun without those expectations? At least we’ll be able to see your face up close.”

With a bright smile, Hansol sat back on the chair and fiddled with his smartphone. I smiled likewise and fell into thoughts again.

‘It’s a Hell difficulty-only story that unfolds in Spain, so there are a few things to point out.’

At least, a case involving the students of the Royal Academy, a powerful ghost appearing, or someone attacking the venue.

It was a joke at first, but there is a possibility that the royal family is really entangled in this story.

Once there was a probability, of course he had to keep that in mind as well.

‘There may be a crisis beyond our expectations.’

This is not Korea where Cheonghwa Academy is located. When unexpected situations arise, there are not many people who care about our safety.

When I was driving, I had to protect myself in the end.

‘I don’t really have a problem, but… … .’

In addition, it can be said that the immediate task is to return the main character, Ha-on Yoo, to the academy safely.

Reaffirming our purpose in our hearts, we finally arrived at the Royal Academy of Spain where the event was held.
