Became a Genius Shikigami at the Academy

Episode 17

‘Black?’

I also know roughly the information about the goldsmith’s stone.

According to my memory, it was obviously black that showed the highest theoretical value.

‘… … .’

It was embarrassing, but honestly, there were too many places to point out in this case.

First and foremost, exorcism and trying to glimpse the future from the worldview is one of the biggest taboos.

And I know most of the future. In fact, this alone is far beyond the allowable limit.

Second, I know a lot of magic that is called golden magic in the world. And I’ve even used it.

‘Considering the case of the endocerebral surgery library, I’m not sure, but maybe this counts as well.’

Third, fundamentally, to me, people in this world are ‘in-game’ people.

Even if it has become a reality now, deep in my mind, that perception has not yet completely disappeared.

If so, wouldn’t the actions I actually do to the characters in the game and the actions I take to the people here be determined in the same way?

‘Maybe it is.’

I enjoyed the games of the Exorcism series, slain numerous hostile forces and performed PK.

I also played a lot of PVP. Because that was enough to rise to the top of the world rankings.

‘Let alone this and that in the process of making a sequel… … .’

There are a lot of things that sting a lot. There was a sufficient possibility that all of them would be judged as gold business in the system.

From that point of view, I was no different from the crystal of taboo.

‘Somehow, Haram Chung was so rude.’

It’s not an exact figure, but at this level, Haram Chung would have received almost double the damage from the curse of the Hwanmokmaw.

‘On the other hand, the damage I’ve received is about 0.5 times that?’

No matter how effectively he was defending, I thought he was fine under the curse, but this must have been the case.

Either way, you have to hide it. Because if anyone ever saw this, something out of the ordinary would happen.

I quickly covered the marbles with my body and summoned a part of the Hive shikigami, Toseo, to bear the stone of gold.

take?

Toseo is a relatively clear shikigami among the things I have. Therefore, the marbles influenced by Toseo slowly began to find their original elegant color.

Just then, Dahye Ko, a professor of goldsmiths, approached. I canceled Toseo’s summons, and the moment she held out her hand, I quickly handed over the stone.

A tiny bit of black started leaking from where my finger touched, but not as noticeable compared to the yellow or red.

It would definitely be fine.

“The color is a little hazy… … ?”

Da-hye Ko, who looked at it carefully, praised me with a sinister smile.

“Huh. like. like. Have you been working hard in class all this time? Let me give you extra points.”

Whoa.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and the professor took the marbles and walked towards the other students.

The professor’s reaction drew quite a lot of attention, so I had to worry about whether anyone noticed something strange.

Match.

Dahye Ko, who drew attention with the sound of applause, recited instructions.

“Okay, everyone seems to have no problems, so let’s finish today’s class. Do you all remember the contents of the midterm evaluation that will be held in three days? Those who are late will leave because they have to leave school.”

Since all the interim evaluations of other subjects have been completed, magnificence is the last in the order of precedence.

‘… … .’

End of story chapter 1. There is not much time left until the first semester comprehensive exam, which will be the background of the Yeongwol Island incident.

My image, which spread throughout the school, was slowly improving without knowing it.

Although most of the responses were suspicious, there was a case where he beat Haram Chung, and after that, he maintained good grades in the interim evaluations in various subjects, so rumors spread.

‘Perhaps some of you who remembered Kang-Yoon Han, who was in Class A at the beginning of admission, would think like this by now.

I wondered if Han Kang-yoon, who stood still alone when others went ahead, was finally starting to grow.

Therefore, unlike at the beginning of the semester when no one paid any attention to me, now I can feel the eyes gathering every time I take a class by subject.

Also, people started talking to me beyond that.

But, still, no one approached me as much as in goldsmiths class.

The reason was simple.

“What do you think?”

It was because of Seo Ji-an, who was taking goldsmiths together.

For some reason, I answered her as if there was nothing wrong with her.

“It’s just an everyday thought.”

“At the most, I asked, it’s not interesting.”

A transport vehicle from Tsinghua Academy on its way to the test site for a goldsmiths class. Seo Ji-an, who was sitting next to me, turned to look at the book she was reading again.

‘He seems to have no real friends either.’

Seo Ji-an, who had to go back to normal classes at the academy due to the deal with me,

However, as they were conducting a one-on-one curriculum with the professor during the class of elective subjects, they did not seem to have much relationship with other students.

‘It does give off an atmosphere that is difficult to approach.’

Seo Jian is a member of Daejin Industries, a leading conglomerate, as mentioned.

There were already many projects that she was supervising and running, and even without the Daejin Industrial ticket, there is no doubt that she is a considerable wealthy person.

For ordinary students, it was said that they were not easily accessible.

“Now that you come and ask me, why did you decide to study goldsmiths?”

Goldsmiths were originally an unpopular subject.

The number of people I wanted was so small that the class was conducted without any class distinction, so I said everything.

I had no choice thanks to Professor Choi Do-won, but Seo Ji-an would have been different.

“… Just curious.”

There wasn’t any particular reason for it. It was because Seo Ji-an seemed to be the type of person who had a strong passion for learning.

‘There’s nothing wrong with building up some tolerance.’

I personally nodded my head involuntarily, because it was a caution that I thought was necessary to learn the magic to some extent.

Eventually, the vehicle arrived at its destination.

Outward appearance of an old architectural style. In the distant past, it was a place related to the belief in the land god, but now it is said that it is a site owned by a school that no one visits.

“But it’s been a while since I’ve been here, so you should get some fresh air too, right?”

Dahye Ko, who accompanied her as a professor, gave the students free time before starting the evaluation.

I also wanted to clear my head a little bit, so I tried to walk around as much as I could.

In the meantime, I found a huge lake nearby and moved on. There was a sailor there. It was Seo Ji-an.

‘It’s like a painting.’

Seo Ji-an was looking at the lake shore with a characteristic expressionless face. I approached her and spoke to her.

“Are you practicing drinking again?”

“no. It’s just a sight.”

Silence continued for a while. Seo Ji-an seemed to be immersed in thought, and I, too, did not talk and just enjoyed the scenery.

sting. sting.

Whoops.

Just as I felt a particularly strong wind was blowing, Seo Ji-an slowly turned her head and looked at me.

When I met him with a questionable expression, Seo Ji-an pondered for a moment and then opened her mouth with difficulty.

“… Why did you choose me?”

A moment of regret flashed across her face as she uttered those words. He seemed to have thought that he had said something.

Having guessed the meaning, I answered without difficulty.

“Because you were the closest?”

“… If you don’t want to tell me, you can’t do it.”

“It’s a joke.”

In fact, if it was simply to convert the various knowledge I had into goods, there were many better opponents. That is probably the part that Seo Ji-an has doubts about.

But those things didn’t really matter to me. It didn’t matter who it was, if only the necessary materials were provided on a timely basis, and the purpose was simply to find a supporter.

‘Rather, because of Seo Ji-an’s growth, I got a new hand, so this one is better.’

After thinking about it, I said to Seo Ji-an, who was waiting for an answer.

“It’s because I like you as a collaborator because of my circumstances.”

At those words, Seo Ji-an made a slightly bewildered expression, then subtly averted her gaze and opened her mouth.

“… okay?”

The reason that his face was somehow redder than usual was probably due to a simple mood.

“Let’s see… … , twenty three. No one is missing. So let’s start the evaluation slowly. flaw. It will be a lot of fun, so look forward to it.”

With a sinister smile, Ko Da-hye sent her assistant to us and delivered us a doll woven from straw.

And then he said.

“The Intermediate Evaluation of Magical Science is a Curse Battle using a Straw Puppet! Since it’s an individual game, you have to pay attention to the distribution of attack and defense, right?”

“Do you mean to attack your opponent’s doll?”

“That’s right. It is made to ignite when it receives a certain amount of damage, so judgment is not a problem.”

“Any other rules?”

“It is against the rules for multiple people to attack one person. Other than that, nothing. Instead, the score will be based on the results and the process, so it is not good to sit still.”

In other words, it was the sound of protecting your doll and at the same time cursing the opponent’s doll to inflict damage.

“Come on, everyone, go to the designated place. We don’t have time, so let’s start quickly.”

Dahye Ko gathered the students in front of the old wooden building with a look of anticipation and distributed the locations appropriately.

Then he added, as if he had forgotten to say it.

“Ah, but it wasn’t fun because everyone moved passively every time because the score was still on it. That’s why there are special rules. Who was the last student who got extra points?”

If I was talking about the goldsmith, it was definitely me.

Dahye Ko’s hopeful smile made me feel an ominous intuition.

“Well, I found it. Student Han Kang-yoon over there. I’ll also give extra points to anyone who catches him. But as I said, pincers are prohibited. Of course, the quickest one will be the first, right?”

At those words, the eyes of the students changed 180 degrees.

“When this straw doll hits the floor, it starts.”

Pi Yu-woong.

The doll that Dahye Koh launched into the air fell to the floor while waving her slender limbs.

Took.

And at that moment, countless eyes began to shoot at me.
