Episode 11
In fact, in general terms, my actions now are by no means efficient. It could be seen as a bit of a hasty choice.
However.
‘It’s just fine.’
Cheongju-hwa is a person who should have come into contact someday, if not now. Personally, I consider it to be number one afterward. It just happened a little faster due to an unexpected situation.
‘Cheongjuhwa does not trust humans easily.’
Of course there is such a past. However, on the contrary, they have a romance for a completely reliable partner, that is, a partner.
So, how do I earn her trust? It was simple.
“Because I need him.”
From here on out, you can continue to give your faith. Directly, straight up. even if you take the loss. Because Yoo Ha-on in the original was so trusted.
All eyes were focused on one place.
While everyone was dumbfounded about my travels, it was Haram Chung who spoke first.
“Are you crazy?”
It was as if a bug on the road was crawling without knowing the subject. It was a look that didn’t even feel like a threat to me.
“Only you.”
“… … .”
Haram Chung said indifferently, twisting her flowing hair with her fingers.
“Seeing that you have some strength in your shoulders, you must have saved the money line again?”
“Well.”
“Well, I might cut it off again. Is it right for you to do this?”
Of course, if you’re an ordinary supporter, it will. Rather than stand on the side of someone who has no roots like me, I will side with her, who is called the hopeful of Cheongga.
However, even if it is simply to press with force, Seo Ji-an’s wealth is an area that even her can’t touch prematurely.
In particular, Seo Ji-an couldn’t cut me off, so I had no qualms.
“It is still. you.”
If Cheongju-hwa was a character that should be drawn as an ally, Haram Cheong was the opposite.
Due to his S-rank emotional predation trait, his head is fundamentally twisted, and he is a character that is of no help in the future.
He was also the character I hated the most in Exorcism 1 because he gave me a bad ending while trolling the allies without any attempts.
“If you have more to say, do it later. I have nothing to say to you right now.”
“under… … . okay. yes. Then, do whatever you want.”
Haram Cheong pushed the cheongju flower out with a gesture as if he couldn’t even say a word because it was unreasonable.
Cheongjuhwa crouched and came to my side, and then she noticed and took my hand and led me to the corner of the lecture hall.
soggy sogon.
“Did you turn?”
“no.”
“You don’t know who he is?”
“know. Because we were in the same class in first year.”
“Then why… … . They said that if you pretend to be hurt and make a face that looks like you’re about to cry, then you’ll be satisfied with yourself.”
Unlike before, which had a lot of dents, Cheongju-hwa made fun of her small mouth. This was the true face of her that I knew in the original.
“I didn’t need any help.”
“There seems to be some misunderstanding.”
“yes?”
Of course, it is true that he acted that way on purpose to shake the cheongju flower. But ultimately it wasn’t meant to help her.
“If it weren’t for Chung Haram, I would have teamed up with you. You said you needed it earlier.”
“why? Do you know me?”
“uh.”
“Where did we meet?”
“It is and it is not.”
Cheongjuhwa looked confused. It’s definitely the first time I’ve seen him, but he kept saying meaningful words over and over again, so it was worth it.
I smiled and continued speaking.
“Is there no one else to choose from anyway?”
“Of course I’m grateful for that, but… … . No, that’s not important!”
The situation in which I was trying to move on quietly without developing my work was turned upside down because of me. Cheongjuhwa complained with an expression that he didn’t like.
“Are you sure? There will be a lot of rage in the future, but what are you going to do?”
“I do not care. I don’t like him.”
“Who would you like to hang out with?”
Cheongju-hwa had an expression that seemed absurd. Considering the status of the direct lineage of Cheongga in the Cheonghwa Academy, it was a natural reaction.
I slowly decided to throw the bait.
“You know that. There really isn’t anything to be scared of by Chung Haram.”
At those words, Cheongju-hwa’s forehead twitched. And he sighed with deep regret.
“You don’t know anything.”
Cheongga, the top of the three famous families that have dominated Korea’s magic world for a long time. It was Cheongjuhwa that had directly experienced the malice and desire that had grown as big as the years.
“… … I don’t know anything.”
Her past, when she had to lose her parents just by looking at her, and suffered severe persecution and contempt after that.
It is certainly something the original Han Kang-yoon would not have known about.
However. I was different.
I’ve been watching all of that from nearby, at least in a different way.
“After all, it’s not Cheong Haram, it means that the back is annoying.”
“… … It’s even worse to say something you know.”
And I knew exactly what I could do in the current situation.
“Then, what if there is a way to check the back so that it cannot move?”
“… … .”
For a moment, a question mark appeared on Cheongju-hwa’s face. It was such an absurd thing to say.
“Did you leave any medicines you need to take in the dormitory?”
“I was serious.”
Cheongjuhwa did not believe it at all. I didn’t care and continued talking.
“You don’t have to believe it. You’ll find out later anyway.”
It would have been realized if Cheongjuhwa was capable of grasping the true meaning of the words. At least the fact that I’m not lying.
I asked her a meaningful question.
“Then, if I really do create such a situation, then what will you do?”
At those words, Cheongju-hwa’s eyes changed coldly. For a moment, I felt like a completely different person.
Cheongju-hwa, who had been contemplating something deeply, looked at me with suspicious eyes.
“Honestly, I don’t think that will happen, but… … ”
The tone was flat, but the truth of the answer was clear.
“First of all, let’s start by thinking about that cheap thing after burying it in the back mountain.”

It was absolute confidence.
Among the characters in Exorcism 1, he is the only character with an EX rank magic skill.
At least in terms of combat ability, no one other than Yoo Ha-on, the protagonist of the original work, can surpass the talent of Cheongju-hwa.
The person who will truly shake up Cheongga in the future is not like Chung Haram, but her.
***
After the one-on-one exchange class, Haram Chung came up to me and gave me only one word.
‘I heard some pretty interesting news. I’m looking forward to next month.’
There was no need to worry about what was next month. Anyone can see it, because he was talking about the advanced class of comprehensive combat training.
‘And at that time, is it an intermediate evaluation?’
The method of deriving grades at Cheonghwa Academy was simple. One midterm assessment per subject per semester. After that, there is one comprehensive exam that measures all achievements. Other than that, points are deducted or additional points are awarded for other minor matters.
In other words, Haram Chung was planning to punish me in the midterm evaluation of the comprehensive combat training course.
‘Clearly, the mid-term evaluation of the first semester comprehensive combat practice was a face-to-face match.’
A test in which scores are scored by competing once with members of the upper class in the same grade and once again between members of the upper class of first and second year students.
There was a high probability that that was exactly what Chung Haram was aiming for.
‘… … Professor Do-Won Choi is in charge of the class. The role of a breakwater cannot be expected.’
It would be nice if you didn’t help them. In fact, it was very likely to be the case.
So I had to come up with a plan to fight against Chung Haram until three weeks after the midterm evaluation.
Of course, of course, three weeks was enough.
“Any amulet to aid in the ceremony? There is nothing that cannot be done without materials.”
First of all, I needed an intermediate skill somehow.
I said that Chung Haram was not something to be afraid of, but even so, compared to the current me, he was no different than a monster.
“I will prepare the ingredients on my side.”
“Yeah, what. Because there is nothing difficult.”
The S-Rank’s universal characteristics, B-Rank tool making, and EX-Rank magic skill stats are unmatched in Cheongju’s main tool making ability.
It was a necessary ability for me, who could not raise the ability level right away.
‘You can ask Seo Ji-an for the ingredients.’
After that, it was his turn to make Chung Haram’s backside useless, as he had promised.
Boo Woong.
Boo!
In the middle of the road with some old-fashioned cars by my standards.
I applied for going out on the weekend, and now I am in Gangnam-gu, the center of Seoul.
To be precise, in Cheongdam-dong, one of the districts in charge of the Cheong family that is spread out from Seoul.
‘I didn’t know it would come so soon.’
Currently, the Qing (靑) family is divided into two major categories, and they are fighting against each other.
The Qingdao-Yul faction, a rising force that took control of the family after the Baekgwi-Yahaeng incident, and the Jeong-Ha faction, an orthodox force that tried to regain its place based on the last lineage that was once destroyed.
The rest of the factions are properly attached to the two factions and are in check against each other.
And Cheongdam-dong, where I came from, was one of the areas in charge of the Chungcheongha clan.
‘I saw it in the game, but it’s insanely large.’
Huge houses completely separated from the area where ordinary people live.
Somewhere among them, there must have been a cleaning place.
I checked the rough terrain and moved to somewhere. After all, there was no way for me to get in and out of there without a blue house and a kite in the strict border.
After a while, my steps stopped at Seolleung, where King Seongjong, the 9th king of the Joseon Dynasty, was sleeping.
‘Originally, the tomb of a king is the most courageous place around it.’
Since I am naturally full of energy, my spiritual power, which is only a D rank, will not be visible because of it.
“Each. Chu (追).”
I took out the talisman I had prepared and infused it with magic. It was a crane-shaped object made by Cheongju-hwa.
As the ceremony unfolded, the amulet began to fly into the sky with the wind. The destination was, of course, the residence of the scavengers.
‘Originally, there is no jaw in my magic.’
As it is an area of Cheongga, it is naturally protected by a high-level barrier. Breaking through it is virtually absurd.
However.
‘You can pass without breaking through.’
It would be unreasonable for them, but for me, having learned the many magics of Cheongga that appeared throughout the series, the barrier technique in the first episode was powerful but too obvious.
For example, it feels like leaving the door lock behind and looking at a door locked with a hard padlock.
Even if you don’t use the Jeonggong method, you can clearly see the way to go beyond that.
hoo.
It was felt that the amulet that was blown away by the wind had entered the living quarters of the cleaning group.
The resistance of the barrier was not felt. Perhaps the amulet I flew was also recognized as a part of the magic that formed the barrier.
‘Now, just wait.’
Then it will come to you.
One of the most powerful people at the moment, who has a position that is incomparable to Chung Ha-ram in the Cheongga.
king.
keying.
‘come.’
About 10 minutes after the amulet was blown. From somewhere, a creepy metal fricative began to be heard.
At the same time, a sense of absurd pressure weighed on me.
Keying!
“… … Do you know your ancestors?”
A monster among the monsters who is the leader of the cleaning clique and obtained the qualifications of an elite exorcist at the age of twenty-three.
“… … .”
“If you play a prank in the name of your ancestors, I swear that I will let you rot for the rest of your life in a place where not a single light shines, with the limbs cut off by hanging on this blue and white sword.”
to clean.
She was looking at me with cold eyes.
