The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

chapter 6



training center’s office.

There, Soo-yeon Lee was alone with Baek Min-seong, the director of the training center.

“Heh heh, that’s a pretty interesting story. Not just the strength of the opponent, but being able to sense the spiritual power itself.”

Baek Min-seong’s eyes lit up after hearing Lee Soo-yeon’s report.

The ability that Kang Jin-woo has awakened.

It was because the ability was more useful than previously assumed.

What I originally knew was the ability to quantify the opponent’s strength.

In fact, even that much is of great help to the exorcist, including the exorcist police.

I don’t know if it’s a common spiritual body, in the case of monsters or demons.

It was because it was impossible to measure its power if you hadn’t personally fought it.

Therefore, Kang Jin-woo’s existence can reduce the meaningless sacrifice of the talented exorcist.

But in addition to that, to sense the spiritual power itself.

“There must be a lot to write about. Even if you just join the sacred retrieval team, you will become an ace in no time.”

An object with spiritual power, a miracle.

The work of making Shingi is hard and difficult.

In addition, it takes a long time, and it is known that mass production is virtually impossible.

However, in addition to that, the reason why sacred gods were treated as more precious was that it was difficult to find even existing sacred gods.

Spiritual power dwelling in objects cannot be manifested unless it is used.

Therefore, no matter how excellent a god is, the spiritual power that leaks out is very small.

Very few exorcists can detect this.

However, Kang Jin-woo said that he could distinguish it with his eyes.

“It’s fortunate that there are many talented people in Class A this season. Isn’t it?”

“That’s right, but…”

“Why, do I get jealous because Kang Jin-woo’s ability is so good?”

“It’s not like that. I think he might be in danger-”

“I know, I know. I made a joke once. I can’t say anything in front of Inspector Lee.”

Baek Min-seong said while waving his hands.

Then, Lee Soo-yeon shut her mouth again.

Baek Min-seong let out a short sigh and spoke again.

“Still, isn’t it rather fortunate from the point of view of Inspector Lee?”

“Are you happy?”

“Non-combat-type abilities, and I’m new to them, but I chose a close-range weapon? It seems difficult to harm people.”

In fact, the actual fighting ability is said to be no different from that of ordinary people.

Even Lee Soo-yeon acknowledged that.

“That’s true, but you can’t be relieved. The abilities of the exorcists are simple at first, but as they accumulate karma, they become more specific-”

“I know, I know. i don’t know that However, if you pay a little attention to it, it will take care of it.”

“Not only that. A person named Kang Jin-woo… seemed to have a bit of a mental problem.”

“hmm? What do you mean?”

“After he explained to me why he chose to wear shoes. Suddenly he started talking strangely.”

“Does that sound strange?”

Lee Soo-yeon took out the tablet she was carrying.

It was such a strange list of words, so I recorded it as I heard it in case I forgot it.

“Status window, inventory, skill window, status, character window, etc… After repeating about 10 words, I got annoyed. It seemed that something was not going well.”

“Huh…”

Baek Min-seong frowned.

Unfortunately, neither Lee Soo-yeon nor Baek Min-seong had any knowledge of games or related novels.

“Did you hurt your head when you opened your eyes?”

Baek Min-seong thought of various possibilities in his own way, but that was all.

There was no sharp point anyway, so he organized his thoughts moderately.

“Okay. For now, please watch over me.”

“yes.”

“good. And… you know that not only the guys from Class B and C are coming next week, but also the special students from Class A are coming, right?”

“of course.”

“Yeah, well prepared for that too. If there are no more, go out.”

next day.

Headed to the personal training ground in the morning.

From what I hear, they say that they will begin full-scale practical training from today.

Among them, did you say that today you will be given guidance on how to fight according to the weapon you have chosen?

“Good morning, Mr. Kang Jin-woo.”

And the instructor who taught me today was Lee Soo-yeon.

It seems like he cared about me a lot when he awakened and when he chose his weapon.

Have you ever been assigned to be in charge of me?

Even if it was, there was nothing wrong with it.

Because a black man was in charge and it was better than following them around.

“I will go straight to training. First of all, let’s find out what level Jinwoo Kang’s physical strength is today.”

“yes? I heard you teach me how to use a weapon?”

“The basis of all weapons is stamina. Also, stamina is the basis of the police. By the way, until we reach the passing line, physical training will continue every day starting tomorrow.”

“Every day?”

“yes.”

All of a sudden, an annoying feeling swept over me.

But when you think about it, it was a natural story.

Whether the police catch a robber or a ghost, stamina is essential.

It was just that I couldn’t pay attention to what was going on with demons and spiritual powers.

“Then let’s start with running.”

Even while looking at my shy face, Lee Suyeon didn’t care and pointed at the treadmill.

I had no choice but to follow her instructions.

2 hours after that.

“Kek… kuk… guk!”

I lay face down on the training ground and gasped for breath.

Sweat ran down his body, and the muscles in his arms and legs twitched.

It’s been a long time since I moved this far.

Maybe it’s the first time since I came back from another world.

“Whoa… haa…”

He breathed in an unorganized breath.

It was not easy to measure Lee Soo-yeon’s physical strength.

She consistently urged me to exercise in a respectful but firm manner.

And yet, how well he noticed that I was trying to loosen up even a little.

It was like watching a skilled fitness trainer.

Because of that, I really had to push my body to the limit, and eventually I got to this point.

“Let’s try one more time.”

“What are you doing! I can not!”

“I think you can do more…”

Even so, what does Lee Soo-yeon not like?

He looked at me, who had fallen on the floor, with subtle eyes.

“This is far below the average, let alone the passing mark.”

sober evaluation.

However, it was a story that there was nothing to check for me who had barely caught my breath.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

after returning to reality.

I haven’t even left my room in over a year.

And even after that, I had never done any exercise, so it was only natural that my stamina would go down.

“·······”

Even so, Lee Soo-yeon did not reap her subtle eyes toward me.

As if you have something to say.

“Oh, why are you looking at me like that?”

“I thought you would be much stronger.”

“why?”

“The reason for opening his eyes was that he himself was a hero…”

“Kuhm! that···”

there was nothing to say about that

Yes, even I will look at you funny if you talk about being a warrior with such low physical strength.

So I changed the topic.

“Rather than that, it’s lunchtime now.”

“okay. Morning training ends here. By the way, afternoon classes are also held here. Please refer to it.”

“Are you doing this again?”

“It’s not a fitness test. Now you have to learn your fighting skills.”

It’s a fighting skill.

But my weapon is a monkey wrench.

A fighting skill worthy of a monkey spanner.

Are you teaching me some blunt skills?

While I was thinking about that, Suyeon Lee made an interesting suggestion.

“So, how about sparring with me in the afternoon?”

“Dalian?”

“Of course I will not attack. Please think of it as recognizing Kang Jin-woo’s level this time.”

I smiled at Lee Soo-yeon, who spoke calmly.

Dalian, that is, a battle where you move your body and give and take offense and defense.

That alone was somewhat confident.

“Are you okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“Because he was a warrior. With a knife, eh? Did you cut the monsters as well?”

“Looking at your fitness level, you don’t seem to have to worry.”

“Ah, that and this are different.”

“I see.”

Lee Soo-yeon, who was always expressionless, drew a weak arc on her lips.

That was definitely a laugh.

“This won’t work. Then you really won’t see me?”

“This is what I hoped for.”

Morning training was there.

After a quick lunch, I returned to the training ground.

After spending a decent amount of time there, it was time for afternoon training.

“You have been waiting. I will prepare right away.”

I confronted Lee Soo-yeon in the middle of the training ground holding a monkey wrench.

And Lee Soo-yeon took the bamboo sword that had been placed in the training ground.

“Shall we start right away?”

At Lee Soo-yeon’s words, I nodded.

I lowered my stance for a rush.

And he calmed down his breathing.

Since Lee Soo-yeon said she would only defend herself anyway, there was nothing to rush.

I can feel the heaviness of the monkey spanner in my hand.

“then···”

I used a lot of weapons in this world.

In the long, fierce, and unrelenting battle, no weapon lasted long.

Of course, no matter how much, there was no monkey spanner among them.

But a broken mace, a extinguished torch, a broken warhammer and more.

A blunt weapon with a similar short reach had been used countless times.

As much as the memory of that time, the state that remains clearly in my head.

Therefore, even though they came, even if they could not receive magical assistance, there would be nothing short of surprising Lee Soo-yeon.

“going!”

So I boldly launched an attack.

When I took just one step forward, I realized my mistake.

The problem wasn’t Aura or magic.

“huh?”

The gap between the body in my memory and reality was more serious than I thought.

The feet that had hit the ground trembled.

The hip suddenly moved violently and screamed.

The arm holding the weapon was as heavy as a lead ball.

In the blink of an eye, the monkey wrench that is supposed to strike Lee Soo-yeon moves like slow motion.

and,

Took.

The monkey wrench I wielded stopped powerlessly in front of Lee Soo-yeon’s bamboo sword.

“… Kang Jin-woo?”

Lee Soo-yeon, looking at me, wasn’t even sneering.

His eyes looked at me as if telling me not to play around.

“No, this… the movements were neat…”

“·······”

“Honestly, it’s because I overworked myself in the morning.”

It was unfair.

Obviously, I applied the swordsmanship I knew from my days as a hero.

So, from the kicking sword to the trajectory of the attack, my movements after that must have been close to perfect.

But…the muscles that had lost all their strength didn’t keep up, so everything just exploded slowly.

“Then let’s continue.”

She said, slipping my spanner with a bamboo sword.

But no matter how many times I tried after that, it was the same.

I even tried to use the royal swordsmanship that the emperor had hidden, but Lee Soo-yeon easily blocked my attack as if catching a fly with a fly swatter.

Heck, no matter how good your swordsmanship is, who can be hit by a sword that moves like a snail?

“okay. I know roughly what level you are.”

Lee Soo-yeon, who was watching my struggles, said businesslike.

A callous tone with no emotion whatsoever.

I’d rather not even laugh at it.

It made me feel worse because I felt like I was being sympathized with.

“I think you can rest for today.”

“Ac… this isn’t it.”

I left the personal training ground as if running away.

It was a depressing feeling.

***

“·······”

After Kang Jin-woo left the training ground.

Lee Soo-yeon blankly glared at the spot where he was standing.

The combat power of Kang Jin-woo, whom she evaluated earlier, was nothing to say.

Even if you hit it well, it’s a normal level.

It was that much even with a god in it, so it couldn’t be said to be strong.

“but···”

She couldn’t shake the sense of incongruity she felt when she saw Kang Jin-woo.

Although she is now an instructor at the training center, Lee Soo-yeon is also an exorcist police officer belonging to the special division.

Because of that, I had a chance to play in the field, and of course I had some knowledge in martial arts.

To Lee Soo-yeon, Kang Jin-woo’s movements were unusual.

Although his movements were slow and sluggish, there was no extravagance.

It looks like a trained martial artist wearing restraints all over his body and training.

“·······”

Lee Soo-yeon held up the bamboo sword without a word.

And remembering Kang Jin-woo’s movements, I tried to follow them.

The last move I felt particularly uncomfortable.

In her memory, Kang Jin-woo’s speed was so slow that it was not difficult to follow.

Seek!

Then, a clear flash cut through the air.

Surprise lingered in Lee Soo-yeon’s eyes.

It was only one slash, but the potential within it was enormous.

This is an obvious martial art.

It was a martial art of such a high level that it was impossible to judge its rank.

But how can Jinwoo Kang do this?

Lee Soo-yeon tilted her head.

“no way···”

Was he a real warrior?

No, it couldn’t have been.

Isn’t that something that can’t happen?

I don’t know if it’s the same as the existence of the exorcism police in the eyes of the general public.

Even so, the other world, and the hero, went too far.

But if that’s not the case…

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t come up with the correct answer.
