The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

“·······”

I couldn’t even think of an excuse to keep my mouth shut.

Well, what excuse would you give?

Monica saw it herself.

I was just worried.

If Monica had told anyone else, neither the police nor the church would stand still.

“I didn’t tell anyone.”

As if understanding my inner thoughts, Monica added.

“That was good.”

“So tell me. What the hell did you do?”

Monica’s face when she said that was serious beyond serious.

From my point of view, all I had to do was pick up Monica’s spear and use it.

From her point of view, it must have meant more than that.

After all, the window selects the contractor, and the selected contractor must be recognized by the window for the rest of their lives.

If I had seen her skipping all those steps right in front of me, I could understand Monica’s feelings.

“You too… were you chosen by Moses’ rod?”

“That’s not right.”

“then?”

I let out a short sigh.

No matter how much Monica asked, my answer was what she had already heard.

“I told you. It’s because I’m a warrior. A hero can use any weapon.”

“·······”

The truth, no lies, no excuses.

For a moment, Monica looked at me expressionlessly.

“Is that the end?”

“Yeah, that’s all. What, would you like to hear your impressions? Your window was nice.”

Yes, it was so good that I wanted to have it.

If you have that one, you’ll be able to beat all the guys.

But with both Monica and Church wide-eyed, they couldn’t even try.

I didn’t even want to try.

“·······”

At my words, Monica was silent for a while.

Sooner or later, I thought she would be angry.

But Monica’s reaction was different from what I expected.

“Are you really… a hero?”

Her feelings were neither distrust nor disappointment.

Rather, a faint astonishment flashed in Monica’s eyes.

“Do you believe that?”

“Faith, no. That’s what I realized.”

It’s real.

I seemed to know what it meant.

Monica is the contractor chosen by Moses’ staff.

So if she really had her eyes open then.

He must have sensed that I could draw the power of the spear and kill the false prophet.

It would have been something that could never be explained by the common sense she knew.

“You said you were a warrior. What exactly is that?”

“I don’t know? The guy who carries a sword and sets it up with monsters in a fantasy world.”

“I do not know. I have only heard of it in fairy tales.”

Monica seemed to have hardly seen any movies or cartoons related to it.

if so, what I can’t help it.

“Um, so what is that…”

That was when I was choosing my words.

Monica shook her head and said.

“Just tell me your story. Okay then.”

it’s my story

I didn’t have any good memories, but it wasn’t something I couldn’t talk about.

No matter how terrible the memory is.

Because the memory of that time had already changed to me as if it were fiction.

“It wouldn’t be much fun.”

“doesn’t care.”

Monica’s gaze was still serious.

So I sat down next to her.

“Um, so…”

After a moment of silence, I awkwardly opened my mouth.

It’s been too long since I’ve talked to other people from the start.

The beginning was trivial and embarrassing.

“When I woke up one day, it was just another world.”

There were no so-called different world trucks or unfair deaths.

I was just lying in my room, at my house, as usual.

When I opened my eyes, I had arrived at a splendid castle.

“And there was a beautiful woman in a fancy dress. he said he was looking at me A warrior.”

she was a princess

The princess of an empire in danger by demons and humans sympathetic to demons.

She tearfully asked me to help them, and I accepted.

Well, I can’t go home without it. There was no way.

“After that, knights and wizards taught me all sorts of things. I rolled like a dog with that excuse. I also learned the spearmanship that I taught you back then. It’s called Helemia’s spear… it was used by a general of the five generations of the empire or something.”

So I quickly absorbed their teachings and grew up.

I grew up quickly in both martial arts and magic, and soon became strong enough to threaten even those who taught me.

It was a feat that was possible only because he was a warrior.

After a short hardship, I gained strength and was immediately taken to the battlefield.

“After that, I rolled in the war for about three years. It was hard, but no problem. i was strong I got stronger and stronger, and in the end no one could stop me. So I killed the witch in the gutter, cut the head of the king who handed over the country to the devil, and eventually killed the demon king.”

“… the demon king too?”

Monica, who had been listening quietly, tilted her head.

“then. It was easier than I thought.”

“You failed, didn’t you?”

“That’s right too. As a result, it was a failure. What should I say? After I killed them all, I found out… it wasn’t like that.”

“·······”

“I was fooled.”

From the beginning, there was no demonic threat in that world, nor a demon lord trying to exterminate humans.

But the emperor of one empire hated that peace.

He had an ambition to take possession of the whole world.

To make this happen, he summoned a warrior.

A fool who knows nothing.

And he deceived the mighty, and gave false knowledge.

At the same time, he raised a warrior who was even powerful, and put him in the vanguard to start a war.

After that it was simple.

The saintess who stood in the way first was named the witch of the gutter and was killed.

He then exterminated the small and medium kingdoms that resisted, saying that they had given the country over to the devil.

And finally, they set foot in the realm of demons.

A long time ago, he trampled on the borders set by the oath and killed even the demon king who was still.

“I was stupid. Looking back, there were not just one or two strange things.”

“So… you’re saying it’s a failure?”

I shook my head.

They literally conquered the world.

Foolishly, I wasn’t satisfied with that.

“Then they tried to kill me. Fools, I must have thought it would be like that even after the centipede raised it.”

“then···”

“Of course it was revenge. That’s when I got angry too. He brought me in, treated me like a dog, and now tried to kill me. so i killed them all Those who are at least a little bit responsible are all of them.”

I broke an empire

In that empire, of course, the princess who summoned me.

It included the teachers who taught me, the comrades who fought alongside me, and all the humans who tried to kill me.

Because of this, all the so-called strong people died at my hands.

Ordinary citizens who were too weak to attack me could not stand the chaos and were swept away.

For 7 years like that, I killed countless things that got in my way.

And when I came to my senses

Nothing was left on the ground.

All of a sudden, humans, demons, and gods disappeared from the world.

Simply put, a world was over.

“But what’s really funny is what comes next. I was even thinking of dying after finishing my revenge like that, but one day I woke up and saw it. It was our house.”

The end of that terrible journey was as abrupt and insignificant as the beginning.

I came home like that, and it took me a year to accept that simple reality.

“That’s it.”

“·······”

The street lights illuminating the clearing flickered once.

I finished my words, but Monica didn’t say anything with her eyes wide open.

“You won’t believe it?”

“···I don’t know.”

Monica turned her vacant gaze to me.

“It is impossible. But looking at you… it doesn’t seem like a lie.”

“Well, it doesn’t matter if you believe or not.”

“why?”

“Whether that’s true or not doesn’t mean anything.”

I wasted a year looking for that meaning.

And during those wasted years, I lost my only family member, and I regret it more deeply than ever.

After that I made up my mind.

Let’s not deny or affirm the memory of that time.

From nob le mt l. com

Just like the story of someone very close, let’s just remember it.

From nob le mt l. com

Just like many people remember the plot in a movie they’ve seen sometime.

Let’s just remember that.

“okay? Then… I’ll believe you.”

But Monica said so.

She was wearing a soft smile.

“Thank you for trusting me.”

I said with a wry smile.

It was a story I once hoped someone would believe, but now I had no feelings.

Nonetheless, Monica continued.

“I am. talk, thank you Warrior.”

Along with her words, the quest window flashed.

It seemed that Monica’s quest, which remained until the end, had been completed.

next day.

I ate lunch and moved to the auditorium of the training institute.

Today’s career choice was not simply education.

Simple booths were set up in about 10 workplaces, from regular institutions to foreign institutions, in a large auditorium.

Trainees in Class A and B listened to explanations about each institution, applied to the places they liked, and had interviews if necessary.

It looks like a small job fair.

“Wow…it’s more serious than I thought?”

“That’s right.”

Dayoung Kim and Hyunseok Lee, standing next to me, said so.

However, Monica was nowhere to be seen.

It was because she belonged to the church from the beginning, so she didn’t have to come to this kind of place.

“Then I will come and look around.”

“me too!”

Lee Hyeon-seok and Kim Da-yeong also walked to the booths they were interested in.

I also went to the police booth first.

After all, my career path was decided a long time ago.

And there was Lee Soo-yeon and the face I had seen before.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Kang Jin-woo.”

A little girl in a police uniform.

It was Sophia.

As she said, it was the first meeting in three months, but the sense of incongruity from that appearance did not go anywhere.

Of course, something has changed though.

Right where she and I are.

Did you say the police officer?

As long as I decided to join the police force, she was my long-lost boss.

“I have heard many stories. You said you were going to be a cop, right?”

Sophia asked if she had already heard the story from Lee Soo-yeon.

“Yes, that’s how it is. i look forward to.”

“You made a wise choice. He also said that he did a great job at the training center. I look forward to it.”

At my words, Sofia smiled and asked for a handshake.

I took that hand.

It was not easy to shake hands because they were small doll-like hands.

“By the way, did the police officer come here in person?”

A constable is by no means a low rank.

For the military, it’s like putting a star on it.

But to come directly to such a small event at the training center.

“The exorcism industry is very precious. There is always a shortage of manpower, but that doesn’t mean you can easily increase the number of people. In addition, there are only two training centers including this one. Each of those two training centers produces new exorcists only twice a year. So it’s only natural that I come myself.”

I nodded.

It was a story that if all the exorcists were produced at the training center, the total number of new exorcists would not be more than 200 a year.

“And it’s not much different from other institutions. If you’re curious, would you like to take a look around with me? To check Kang Jin-woo’s ability.”

Sophia has thrown out such a suggestion.

it’s another organ

It wouldn’t hurt to look at it just to compare the conditions.

“I see.”

“Then, please take a seat, Inspector Lee Soo-yeon.”

Sophia left the booth with Suyeon Lee and came out with me.

Meanwhile, I activated my ability.

A game frame was placed over the field of view, and Sophia’s level was visible.

72 levels.

It was a considerable level, but after visiting the booths of other institutions, such thoughts disappeared.

“take care.”

After that, I visited the church, the sanctuary, and the LB Academy booth in turn.

There was a man in the church who did not know if he was a priest or a priest.

He introduced himself as an elder of the tribe of Benjamin and talked about Monica for a while.

On the other hand, as expected, it was a monk in the temple hall.

Apart from his benevolent impression, he is a man with a solid body.

However, the level of the people in charge of the booth was all over level 80.

The story is that all high-level executives are here.

“How much was it this time?”

And Sophia took me around and made me check their levels.

The position of the person in charge of the booth at LB Academy is student body president.

For reference, LB Academy has a motto, ‘Life is eternal learning’, so it is said that all ranks are similar to those in the school.

“Level 84.”

“As expected, it is a reliable figure. Then next…”

It was time for Sophia to look around the next booth.

An unknown voice came from behind.

“Oh, Sophia. You are here too.”

It was a woman who said that.

Are you in your late 20’s or early 30’s?

Her appearance was glamorous yet beautiful.

Nevertheless, it is characterized by a somewhat decadent impression and sharp eyes.

But despite her striking looks, I couldn’t possibly focus on her face.

A whopping 97 levels.

The woman whose name I did not know had a higher level than anyone I had ever seen.
