chapter 10
Episode 10
In Exorcism, there is a force called the Three Great Masters.
Regardless of the series, they are intertwined with countless stories, like the civil servants of the Exorcism series.
The Qing family is said to be the home of orthodox magic.
A white family who has researched and developed the physical use of magic.
The Hwang family is drawing a future-oriented goal by combining magic and technology.
It is no exaggeration to say that these three powers have been leading the Korean witchcraft world for a long time.
‘Most of the powerful people of the times working in Korea are on their side.’
In particular, the best among them is the Qing family.
Its origin is also the longest, and the power itself is evaluated to be larger than the other two.
The main stage of Exorcism 1 and the Cheonghwa Academy, to which I belong, was also an institution created by the hands of Cheongga, so there was no need to mention any more.
So what’s the point?
In this Cheonghwa Academy, it was said that the Cheongga literally possessed unconditional power.
“… … .”
One-on-one exchange classes are basically conducted in pairs of two. With the exception of the third year, which is the graduating class, since they cannot take the course, one first-year student and one second-year student are paired up.
Naturally, the first course of the class was to find a partner to interact with in the 1st and 2nd graders.
For that reason, the students gathered at the meeting point were busy looking for like-minded people by saying hello before the professor in charge arrived.
But right now, a disturbing air was flowing in the hall. In the center were two girls with different expressions.
“Will we meet again?”
“… … .”
Among them, what caught my attention was the first-year cadets who bowed their heads like criminals.
Long black hair that seems to absorb light, a slightly sharp cat-shaped face, and unique blue eyes.
Obviously she was one of the main characters in the original that I knew.
‘… The atmosphere is quite rigid.’
Everyone knew that something bad was going on. But no one moved to improve it.
I quietly used the emotion function as I watched the sophomore beating the girl.

After all, there is a reason the other cadets have always just looked at it.
It was because it was a person from Cheongga who was called the real power of the academy that was creating such an atmosphere.
‘Did Haram Chung take this class?’
I was equally perplexed.
In general, the best students do not participate well in one-on-one exchange classes.
For those with unrivaled talent, it was much more efficient to develop themselves while doing things like exchanges between seniors and juniors.
Of course, she knew why she was here. It was because of Cheongju-hwa, another person from the Cheongga who was sitting right next to him.
“It’s like. You thought you wouldn’t run into me if you came here?”
“Well, it’s not like that… … .”
Cheongju-hwa was avoiding the eyes of her senior, Cheong Haram, with her head bowed servilely.
Speaking of the relationship between the two, I had to point out one characteristic of what are called the Three Great Masters.
‘Blood supremacy.’
In a world where talents differ according to bloodline, people from the three major families are treated differently from ordinary people.
Just because he has inherited even a little of his family’s blood, he is treated as an elite.
‘Even within the family, the atmosphere is even worse.’
The more direct lineage, especially the one who inherited the blood, the stronger the power.
The thing strictly forbidden in such Cheongga was to take the blood of the family outside.
In other words, only incestuous marriages are permitted.
I could have said it was an anachronistic rule, but in this world, it was not strange.
It was possible to solve the side effects through the magic of the family, and in fact, all the children born through this had high talents.
‘But Cheongjuhwa’s parents broke the taboo.’
Cheongju-hwa’s father married an ordinary person, not even an exorcist, and gave birth to Cheongju-hwa.
Naturally, he was expelled from the family, and after suffering countless times from the pressure of the family, whom he regarded as a shame, his weakened mother passed away first, leaving her family behind.
My father didn’t like it either.
He was suffering from a sense of helplessness for not being able to properly protect his wife, and ended up dying in the same way.
Because of this, Cheongjuhwa has been raised with her grandmother since childhood. The surname was also changed to blue (淸) instead of blue (靑), meaning Cheongga.
‘And after many twists and turns, I entered the academy.’
But I wasn’t lucky. Apparently, among the students who were a grade higher, there was Chung Ha-ram, who is a direct descendant of the Cheongga and is said to be the next generation’s hopeful.
Of course, it is a story that was completely captured.
“Since you’re from a lowly origin, it’s unavoidable to be stupid even to the head. How can you think so clearly?”
“… … .”
Cheongju-hwa did not even respond. It was even more so because he knew the extent of the influence of the title of being a prospective owner as he was a direct lineage of the Cheong family.
Cheong Haram, who had a fishy smile at such a cheongju flower, looked around and said.
“Just by any chance, is there anyone who wants to be paired with this?”
No one could answer. All the sophomores who were aware of her progress were busy avoiding Chung Haram’s gaze.
It’s because they were too different from each other to fight simply because they were in the same grade.
Just as Haram Chung gave a satisfied smile, the professor in charge of the class finally entered the classroom. A middle-aged man with a modest attire, he was not in my memory.
“I’m sorry I’m late for a meeting. Start class right away.”

As a faculty member, the level was higher than that of the students around here, but the level was just that. He was a type who literally focused on his role as a professor rather than a practical one.
‘It’s impossible to control Cheong Haram.’
Haram Chung also smiled a little as if he realized it. When I got there, the future was obvious.
“Um?”
Yoon Il-rok expressed his doubts about the strange atmosphere of the classroom, but Chung Ha-ram interrupted it.
“Professor, is there something wrong?”
“Oh no, that… … .”
Yoon Il-rok made a look that he wanted to miss.
Perhaps it was thanks to the activation of the crisis detection characteristic that the general situation was grasped.
Yoon Il-rok, who tilted his head and glanced at the cheongju flower, chose to look out.
“Let’s go to class.”
Chung Haram gave a satisfied expression, and Cheongjuhwa, realizing the bleak future that was about to happen to her, bit her lip.
“In this class, through exchanges between grades, we are positive to each other… … ”
Il-rok Yoon briefly explained the outline of the class. After that, the group formation began immediately.
“… … So, from now on, I hope that we will find a partner who can develop each other through sufficient dialogue and form a group. Let the time be generously 30 minutes.”
As soon as the words were finished, the students moved in a hurry.
There were those who had decided on a pair in advance, and the students who did not check each other’s ancestry and specialties and went out to find a partner they liked.
However, no one approached only Cheongjuhwa.
He didn’t even pay attention to it.
With a smile, Haram Cheong said to Cheongju-hwa, who seemed desperate.
“There is no place for you here.”
“… … .”
“So get out of the academy.”
Cheongju-hwa was already unable to raise her head, but Cheong Haram seemed to still be unable to open her mouth again.
And I began to slowly move in front of those two.
thump.
thump.
At first, I couldn’t hear well because of the conversation.
But as it continued, the room gradually became quieter and attention began to focus one by one.
Murmur. murmur.
[what. who is that kid Didn’t you hear that before?]
[This is Han Kang-yoon. He should now… … .]
[Why is that? I must be really crazy.]
The murmurs bothered my ears, but those things didn’t really matter. After all, these are the words I’ve been hearing tirelessly for a week after the opening ceremony.
jerk. jerk.
With each step, there was tension in the classroom. Some swallowed their saliva to the point of making a sound, while others turned their heads and checked the situation only with a squint.
jerk.
When the silence finally passed and only the sound of my footsteps resounded, I was finally able to reach in front of the two of them.
“… I’m sorry, but 2nd graders can’t form a group?”
Cheong Haram smiled and spoke. Of course, it wasn’t meant to be straightforward. It was a kind of threatening and warning that now is the last time to go back, counting as an illusion.
Of course, after hearing that, I had decided what to say.
Likewise, I smiled and looked at Chung Haram and responded calmly.
“I know.”
It was a moment when everyone in the classroom was completely frozen.
