Episode 95

Weekends are over, and weekdays are back.

When the aftermath of the comprehensive exam also slowly subsided, there was undoubtedly a new piece of news to the academy cadets.

“I heard you are going on a field trip soon.”

“Ah, that. I heard it too. I’m sure I’ll be staying at the Dohwawon for a week.”

“If it’s a Dohwawon, it’s a famous training center.”

In fact, the main event that marks the beginning of Chapter 3 of the story.

Since it was an episode that existed in the original, it was something I was also familiar with to some extent.

‘… There must have been a goblin-type youkai who was good at concealment.’

Mysterious incidents continued to take place by a high-ranking youkai who took up a place in Dohwawon, a spiritual spot, and in the end, even the main character, Ha-on Yoo, got involved in it.

Although the 1st and 2nd graders all move to the same place, the place close to the hideout of the monster was the 1st grader’s dormitory, so the event probably focused on them.

‘Even if there was damage, it doesn’t seem like the situation was that dangerous… … .’

If an additive called Hell difficulty is added to it, it is impossible to know what will happen.

In the end, it was about not slowing down as much as possible.

“Is everyone gathered? Then I will leave.”

A great movement in which all classes in the 1st and 2nd graders move.

After arriving at Dohwawon on the bus provided by the academy, we moved along to our assigned dormitories and unpacked immediately.

“Well, it’s the same room again. Who is the other one?”

“It’s me. Have a good week.”

“It was Adrian. Well, it’s just a familiar member.”

Hansol, Adrian, and even me.

The three of us left all our belongings in the room and decided to spend some free time before our scheduled evening.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a muscular man sitting on the veranda in the room in front of me, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.

It was Hwang Ji-hak.

“… meditation?”

“Leave it. Wherever he goes, he’s always there. You have to get acquainted with the spiritual power in the atmosphere while responding to nature, or something.”

It seemed to me that there was such a setting. It was an eye-catching sight to see in person.

click.

I went out of the dormitory because I thought it was an opportunity, so I searched for a suitable place and focused on the detection technique several times.

However, as expected, there was no affliction.

‘After all, it is not possible with the current specification.’

A high-ranking youkai specializing in concealment techniques unique to the Hagiya tribe. Rather, it may be more strange to have a detection technique like mine.

After getting a rough idea of the surrounding terrain, I returned to my dorm before it was too late to join the party.

“Come. There’s nothing special today. I guess it’s just a special lecture given by a local instructor.”

As is usually the case with field trips, the first day went smoothly without much work.

And from the next day, full-scale training using the characteristics of the spiritual spot began.

“It will not be difficult. You just have to hold on to this flower for as long as possible so it doesn’t wither. The pass condition is one hour.”

A bunch of flowers that have already been removed from the stem. However, in a place where spiritual power is overflowing, it is possible to maintain its vitality only with the ability to purely deal with it.

“I can’t do this.”

“Oh, I was so focused that I burst out.”

“If you succeed within today, do you have anything to give?”

In the words of one student. Professor Baek Ji-eun, who had a sullen face, answered.

“It gives rest to passers-by.”

“… … .”

It marked the beginning of an endless ordeal.

But to be honest, I already knew the tricks, so I got through in exactly an hour and got some free time.

“Hey, let me tell you something!”

“Don’t blindly push your spiritual power, but do it with the feeling that you’re literally revitalizing it.”

I left the training ground without hesitation, leaving only those words. I wanted to gather information in advance if possible in case of an eventuality that might occur in the future.

The first thing I checked when I had time to spare was near the dormitory of the first-year cadets, where numerous anomalies would occur.

There were also a few cadets who seemed to have gone through the same training, and among them were Cheongju-hwa and Han Seo-ah.

“You seem to have succeeded at once.”

“Isn’t your brother also keeping flower petals?”

After talking with the two of them, I started moving along the outline of the first-year dormitory after breaking up, selecting a place that the ghosts could use as a passageway.

However, to be honest, there were so many that it didn’t seem to mean much.

‘You can’t stop the activity itself.’

I checked it out just in case, but honestly, even in my opinion, it was too greedy.

In the end, what you should aim for will be the moment the gnome acts.

‘Shall we borrow John’s power?’

Since I mentioned that I have the power of prophecy a while ago, I’m sure they will try to help me if I use that fact.

However, the Yokai that will appear this time did not seem to have a good match with Johan’s magic, so I had no choice but to put my judgment on hold.

‘The first missing person occurred on the second night.’

So, obviously, he’ll show up around here tonight.

I put myself in the position of the gnome in my imagination, and began to image how I had to move in order to achieve my goal efficiently.

Meanwhile, a familiar voice came from behind.

“brother? what are you doing?”

Feeling somewhat relieved, I stopped thinking and immediately returned my movements and answered him.

“I was walking. I’m curious about the surroundings.”

“It’s hard to say things like this, but there was something suspicious about the movement… … .”

Just as I was ignoring the situation by giving various reasons like that, for a moment, a suspicious yogi caught on to the end of my mood.

slurp.

At the same time, in the shadows, I felt Gongsam reacting to something.

‘This is for sure.’

The name of the ghost that will appear in this story is the Mirror Goblin Servant Hwanje (徙換濟).

As he is a relative of Gongsam, the goblin, he must have felt something unique.

I raised my hand to stop Han Seo-ah from moving and quickly began to look around.

“… brother? what’s the matter?”

“It’s been strange since before, there must be something there,”

After finishing the acting skillfully, check the point that he was paying attention to.

As a result, I finally found it. At the edge of the pond, the serpent rolls his eyes and looks at us.

This was a huge opportunity. A chance to get rid of the crisis right before the story even begins.

At that, I carefully raised my spiritual power and muttered softly to Han Seo-ah.

“After you get off your seat at three, tell the professors about the situation.”

“What?”

One, two, three.

After finishing the countdown, I immediately sprinted out of my seat and ran to the servant priest who was noticing.

“What?”

The startled celebrant immediately activated his magic and tried to escape to his own space, but that was what he had expected.

I immediately followed the serpent and ran towards the passage reflected on the surface of the water.

Whoops.

After a brief moment of floating and dizziness, I suddenly came to my senses, and what unfolded in front of me was an unusual space, like a cave.

The only difference was that the same passage as the one I had just entered was spread out in all directions.

‘… I was a little worried, but I found you well.’

This place was like a special stage, called the nest of the Four Hwanje (徙換濟).

The elves can freely move between various places through this place, and sometimes they use it as a hiding place or escape route.

‘So of course it was difficult to catch.’

In fact, even in the original story, it took quite a lot of time to subdue this Four Phantom.

Just as he was about to finish his judgment, he felt something crossing the aisle from behind, and a familiar voice began to be heard again.

“∑!”

Kwadang!

The true identity was Han Seo-ah, who was with me.

“Why did you follow me? It’s dangerous, so I’ll fall.”

“… With that being said, how can you safely run away alone? If it was your brother, would that be the case?”

There is nothing else to say if you push such a logic. I slightly averted my gaze and answered Han Seo-ah like that.

“Only stick behind me and follow me.”

“… yes. Okay.”

After all, Phantom is a high-ranking youkai, and its combat power itself is not exceptionally strong.

If it’s one-on-one, it might be difficult for Gongsam.

‘It’ll be fine if you’re careful.’

Having made the decision, I started to slowly tour the inside of the nest with Han Seo-ah.

I could see the passageways made by the celebrant, but the figure of the celebrant was nowhere to be seen.

However, there is no way we will be left unattended for invading our territory, so he is probably looking for an opportunity somewhere.

‘Actually, I tried to leave it to Yoo Ha-on and the others as much as possible now, but… … .’

Priestess was an exception. It’s because he was one of the monsters that I always wanted to test my abilities by using as a shikigami.

‘It certainly wouldn’t be that far away.’

For something like that, I seldom feel anything.

I pulled out Gongsam from the shadows and immediately asked for cooperation.

slurp.

Fuwaak!

“Let me know as soon as you feel a sign,”

“… Burn it.”

Gongsam, who nodded, took the lead on the road, and Han Seo-ah and I followed.

No matter how far they moved, this time, they found a huge space with countless passages.

“Brother, here… … .”

“It seems to be the heart of this place. Maybe if you make a fuss here, he might get impatient and show up.”

After taking the amulet from my waist, I immediately activated the magic and began to break down the passageways created by the apprentice.

“Public food greed”

Paz.

blah blah!

I know it takes quite a bit of energy to build one passage, so it was obvious that the Priestess would almost unconditionally come here to stop me.

Han Seo-ah, who was observing the situation from a little distance, suddenly began to point to something with her finger, as if she had completely destroyed several passages.

“Brother, what is that? Only one has a very different form.”

“A different form?”

Was there anything like that in the Priest’s Nest?

Feeling something uncomfortable, I stopped what I was doing and stared at the space pointed to by Seo-ah Han.

And immediately, he hardened his complexion and shouted.

“Get out of there right now!”

However, it was late. A dimensional rift with a shape completely different from the passageway created by the celebrant, suddenly inflating its size and greedyly covered Han Seo-ah’s whole body.

Without even having time to think about countermeasures, I immediately ran and jumped into the crack that devoured Han Seo-ah.

and.

slurp.

Whoops.

“… Burn it?”

After the huge crack that seemed to devour everything disappeared, only Gong Sam-i, who was left alone in the empty cavity, was pounding with his feet, not knowing what to do.
