Episode 107
After the escape door of the Black Forest has been opened.
Everyone entered there together, but it was only me and Han Seo-ah who returned to the nest of the priestess. Of course, it was easy to see why.
‘It means that each of them returned to the place where they were caught in the rift.’
Obviously, the rest of the people will find their own place to live and settle their quarrels with their loved ones.
It was a very unexpected and crises event, but it was a week with so many things to gain.
The biggest achievement among them was this.
’emotion.’
Tiling!
【Eve’s Remains】
▶ The power source is lost and the operation is stopped.
The remains of Eve, the witch Verdi’s magic doll that was at the last gate.
I came out with it through intangibility, and after a full night of detailed analysis, I made a hopeful observation.
‘If we do well, we might be able to revive it.’
Eve is a magic doll made from the secret trick of a witch, in other words, it is like a shikigami in the West.
If I can bring her back to life, I too will be able to borrow enough of her power through the contract.
‘… Of course, even if you do, you won’t be as strong as the original.’
Wouldn’t it be possible to restore it to a level close to level 50? I was quite excited about this ancient artifact.
‘First, I’ll try to gather materials through Seo Ji-an.’
It seemed that the trial and error to be experienced in the future were already visible, but it was too precious to give up as it is.
First of all, he was a shikigami that appeared in the fourth episode of the series, which was decades later. At the time of the initial work like now, the power could be utilized more effectively.
‘Perhaps because of the influence of the atmospheric characteristic, the level has also risen by two steps.’
I relaxed my throbbing shoulders and gently called up my status window.
【Han Kang-yun】
▶Level 39
▶ Ability
【Health: C+】
【Spirit power: B】
【Method: B-】
【Spirit: A-】
▶Characteristics (6/10)
【Welcome delay (S)】
【Witch’s Reverb (A+)】
[Spirit Combustion (A)]
【Challenger (B+)】
【Intracerebral Surgery Library (B)】
【Living patient (B-)】
Originally, it was not easy to level up from the late 30s, but thanks to Han Seo-ah and Han Seo-ah in the eternal maze and dealing with powerful enemies, she grew faster than expected.
Now, wherever you look, it has become really high-ranking in the A-Class.
At this level, at least in the events that follow, you will not be caught up in the situation without doing anything.
‘… … .’
And, apart from that, I got one characteristic that I was a little concerned about.
‘It’s a witch’s reverberation, and this is also justice.’
【Witch’s Reverb (A+)】
▶The scent of the ancient witch, Verdi, chases the owner.
There is another behind this characteristic.
At the time, at the request of a superior who needed a differentiator from the normal yokai, I tried to give the yoms of the Black Forest one characteristic, and that was the reverberation characteristic of this witch.
‘However, the effect was not set in detail.’
Queek, like the demons of the Black Forest, possessing a very slight shaman resistance?
Beyond that, to be honest, I have no idea what’s going on.
And in the first place, fundamentally, I don’t know why this trait came to me.
‘I didn’t really pass on her knowledge, did I do anything else?’
In fact, Han Seo-ah, who received it, had the S-rank moon witch trait, not the witch’s reverberation.
For me, it was inevitable that I had doubts.
‘… Well, you can just delete it when you have a car.’
As I said before, there was no way to delete traits, so I ended up thinking about it.
So, the night after returning to the academy passed.
***
The next day, I went back to the weekend again, filled out my entry and exit records, and headed somewhere in the morning.
It was the facility where Seo Ji-an and her sister Ji-ha Seo were staying.
“… You forgot to come thank you.”
“I have something to ask you, because I promised you last time.”
“How is your body? I heard that a lot of things happened.”
Seo Ji-an did not participate in the Dohwawon field trip for personal reasons, so it seemed that she heard about the case of the apprenticeship one step late.
“It wasn’t a big deal. In the end, nothing bad happened.”
“I felt strangely different about that… … .”
Seo Ji-an took a step closer to me, rolled her emerald-colored eyes, and began to carefully look around her body.

Maybe it’s because he leveled up at once, maybe it’s because he got the witch’s reverb trait.‘Because there was a story about Verdi’s scent in the description of the effect.’
Anyway, maybe it wasn’t that bad, Seo Ji-an immediately turned her attention and beckoned to me.
“Come in, the basement is waiting for you.”
To be honest, the appearance of Seo Ji-ha that I checked again after such a long time was a little surprising.
“Oh, my brother. hi!”
The dry body regains health and regains its original shape, and its eyes are full of vitality. Above all, Seo Ji-ha was now walking around the facility by herself, without the aid of any medical devices.
“Are you really getting better?”
“Since my sister spent as much money as she had, it would be rather difficult if it didn’t get better.”
Seo Ji-ha put down the book she was reading and gave Seo Ji-an a pint glass.
It seemed that one way or the other was equally concerned about the spending of the family.
Serge cautiously got up from the chair and came up to me and grabbed my hand.
“Sister, I’ll go for a walk and come.”
“… Don’t go too far.”
“yes.”
So Seo Ji-ha dragged me out of the place where Seo Ji-an was and started talking about this and that.
“I know my heart, but my sister is always overprotective. Do you even know my brother?”
“Originally, that’s what family is all about.”
“yes. So it must be family.”
He staggered his legs occasionally, but it wasn’t because he wasn’t used to using his body and something was wrong.
I glanced away and observed Seo Ji-ha’s information as an emotional function.
Tiling!
【Seo Jiha】
▶Level 24
▶ Ability
【Health: C】
【Spirit power: S】
【Method: B】
【Spirit: A-】
▶Characteristics (4/10)
[Heart of Fire Dragon (S)]
【Energy Absorption (B+)】
【Growth Acceleration (B)】
【Living patient (B-)】
The level has risen by a whopping five steps, and the stamina rank has also risen by two steps.
Perhaps in the process of recovering health, the body grew and the ability to be delayed was increased at the same time.
‘If that’s enough, I don’t think there’s any problem with passing the academy.’
Of course, you have to have a corresponding level of knowledge, but shouldn’t that be taught by A-class Seo Ji-an?
In particular, S-Rank’s spiritual power and the characteristics of a Fire Dragon’s heart will make her the second Sophia Charlotte if handled well.
Perhaps at the same time, he had similar thoughts, and Seo Ji-ha came up with the same topic.
“Going to the academy. Did your brother agree?”
“… It is not.”
“Once my sister gave me permission. I can still see you’re worried.”
If so, that’s a good thing. Clearly, the right knowledge and experience at the academy will make her strong in mind and body so that she will not be swayed by the remaining soul of Kang Chul-i.
Seo Ji-ha, who moved to the flower bed full of plants for a moment, asked a question as if she was a little worried inside.
“I’ve never been formally trained in witchcraft, so can I become a true exorcist like my brother or sister?”
“It’s up to you to do it from now on.”
“Oppa sometimes answers too old for me, so it’s not fun.”
However, Seo Ji-ha opened her mouth again, throwing a smirk unlike her words.
“Still, my brother was such a person, so I must have been able to live.”
“… … .”
“Take care of my sister. I’m honestly against it, because I’m thinking of getting Daejin Industrial anyway.”
“Is there anything I can do to help in that regard?”
“If you just stay by my side, my sister will like it.”
Clearly, having a colleague who supports your will, no matter what, is your will.
I nodded my head slightly, and went around the facility with Seo Ji-ha and went back to where Seo Ji-an was.
Now, it was time to talk a little bit about business.
***
“There are many things I haven’t seen. Do you need something different from before?”
“The purpose is not much different, but there is a difference in the series.”
After leaving Seo Ji-ha, I went to the office with Seo Ji-an and asked her for materials to revive Eve, the shikigami of the witch Verdi.
“… It might take quite a while this time.”
“It doesn’t matter. It’s not something that needs to be done in such a hurry.”
Rather, being able to obtain these precious materials is a great thing in itself.
As far as I know, the price was not cheap, so to be honest, this time around, my conscience pricked me a little.
“Then I’ll try to save you.”
“thank you.”
“By the way, I had something to talk about here as well.”
Eventually, what Seo Ji-an brought up was none other than the story of Empress Dowager Seo, the owner of Daejin Industries.
‘Come to think of it, I was told that I was collecting information in many ways.’
Although he had never appeared in the main story, he was one of the characters I was very concerned about, so that kind of news was welcome.
“Recently, I had the opportunity to meet an entourage who had previously worked with the man for a long time.”
“Are you close?”
“yes. It is said that in the past, as a private bodyguard, he was by the side of Empress Dowager Seo. The level is first-class.”
As a first-class exorcist, he was quite a giant for a bodyguard.
When I listened intently, Seo Ji-an recalled the incident and continued speaking.
“Now that I am a person who has completely escaped from the Daejin industry due to the past, I tried to openly stab my insides once. Then… … .”
“Did you spit out information?”
“no. But I did get some pretty sincere advice.”
The content of the advice was as follows.
“I can never surpass Empress Dowager Seo, and it seems like anyone other than me will come.”
It was definitely a pretty bizarre story.
If it was a first-class exorcist, it would be a great giant in itself, and there would have been many opportunities to watch the top-class exorcists called Cheonoecheon, but nevertheless, she appreciated Empress Dowager Seo more than they did.
“It’s pretty dubious.”
“yes. After all, I think that man is hiding a secret that I haven’t even guessed yet.”
“How can the secret be that even an elite exorcist can’t handle it?”
“It’s as you say.”
Of course, Seo Ji-an also said that he had no intention of confronting Empress Dowager right away, but in the end, as long as he is aiming for the throne of Daejin Industry, he is a person that he will have to face someday.
‘I’m also concerned.’
It’s hard to know what kind of influence that Empress Dowager will have on the story later on, to say that it’s just something else.

Moreover, considering her work in Spain, Empress Dowager Seo may also exert another influence in the newly added story exclusively for Hell difficulty.Empress Dowager Seo is also a person of interest.
With those three words in my mind, I went back to the academy with some kind of insecurity.
