Episode 134
The long and short battle was over.
Qingdao-Yul defeated all his powers and elders and returned to his residence, and we slept in the area of the Jeong-Hwa clan after cleaning up the situation for a day.
And the very next day, Cheongju-hwa and I were getting some fresh air outside, and we were discussing the future.
“Something is bewildering… … .”
I did just that. A lot of things happened like a typhoon in just a few days.
But now, all of that has gone away and a period of stability has come again. Cheongjuhwa seemed to be satisfied with that fact above all else.
“By the way, how did it all turn out the way you thought it would?”
“Luck followed, and I had a hand in the first place.”
Of course, it wasn’t as easy as it sounds, but thanks to Blue Dragon’s full cooperation, I was able to untie the knot more easily than I thought.
In fact, the situation was resolved by borrowing the power of the people around me without even touching Cheongjuhwa.
Now, Qingdaoyul has no reason to touch Cheongju, citing the family taboo, and the same was true for other powers in the Cheongga.
Of course, there will be plenty of people who will still look at you with sarcastic glances, but in the end, those things are meaningless.
After all, sooner or later, the time will come when all of that will change.
“It won’t be a problem, at least until I graduate from the academy and leave.”
“… I hardly ever feel it.”
Cheongjuhwa has already thanked me several times since last night. So we didn’t have to say anything to each other anymore.
We stared blankly at the sky for a while, then went back into the mansion.
And, before returning to the academy, I had a final meeting with Jeong Ha.
“Before I leave, I would like to hear more details.”
In fact, there was no reason to hide it, but I did not mention anything about the case of the Blue Dragon and the Proposal Sutra to Chung Ha.
For that reason, it seemed that he wanted to know for sure at least once about the self-inflicted kind of cleaning work.
“Yes. All right.”
I told you briefly yesterday too, but I added a little more detailed explanation and told Jeong-ha about the Proposal and the Blue Dragon.
After hearing all of this, Chung-ha’s reaction was as expected.
“Right. Does this mean that Seonjo had occupied that child as a mate of the Blue Dragon before?”
“… … .”
I deliberately didn’t answer. There was a possibility that if she uttered useless words for nothing, there would be a problem with her truthful eye trait.
However, it seems that I had already come to a plausible conclusion in my head as I remembered how I had protected Cheongjuhwa in the name of my ancestors.
Whatever it is, it’s not bad for me.
“Is there anything else you wanted to convey?”
“Yes. It seemed that they simply wanted to maintain their influence within the family as they do now.”
“okay. i get it.”
I didn’t ask for anything more than cleaning. After completing all follow-up measures, me and Cheongju-hwa left the area of the Jeong-jeongha clan and finally returned to the academy.
‘Is this the end of all three stories?’
As it has been so far, the end of Chapter 3 of the story has a relatively large meaning.
This is because it means that the events that can be called the main stem of this Exorcism 1 are now approaching.
I will soon be a third-year student at the academy, and the main characters, including Cheongju-hwa and Yoo Ha-on, will become sophomores.
And from then on, we’ll all be moving slowly towards the core story.
‘Still, most of the goals have been achieved.’
I turned the fork of the story to the one that was easy for me, and I got the various talents and things I needed in the future.
From now on, it literally just depended on how I acted.
“… It hasn’t been that long, but it feels like a long way back.”
As I listened to Cheongju-hwa muttering in front of the academy site that I had arrived at, I was determined again.
As I have always done, I will eventually see beyond what lies ahead.
As if responding to my heart, the shadows reflected in the sunlight flickered softly.
***
Returning to the academy’s dormitory after finishing everything, Cheongju-hwa lay in bed and quietly recalled the events of the past few days.
‘… … .’
Cheongjuhwa was also known by now. That Han Kang-yoon is not just blindly helping himself, but that he is trying to achieve something through himself.
In fact, he even said it himself when he was running away from Chung Woon-cheol and his party.
‘It doesn’t really matter now… … .’
Not only have we already received countless help, but we have also promised to cooperate generously with each other as a team.

Moreover, if you look at the facts, Kang-yoon Han clearly stated that purpose from the beginning.In the one-on-one exchange class, I told myself that I needed that skill and strength to myself, who was teased by Haram Chung.
But, to be honest, Cheongju-hwa was still not confident in herself.
“what do you think?”
[What do you mean?]
Cheongjuhwa continued speaking towards the blue dragon lying on the blanket in a small form.
“What difference is there between the elders of the family and me?”
[You are worrying about nothing.]
Not that it wasn’t, the battle of the elders I saw in front of my eyes was truly amazing.
A fight that literally shakes the heavens and the earth and splits the earth.
Because I repeated it for hours.
Although he did not know it, it was clear that there was a significant gap between him and him for now.
The Blue Dragon did not deny it either.
[Of course, there is a big difference. But, is it that weird? Considering the years and experiences I have lived, it is a natural thing.]
“Then how long will it take me to get to that point?”
Kang-yoon Han said. Starting this winter vacation, I’m sure there will be busy things going on.
If that’s the case, I’m sure I’m not reassured in many ways with my current skills.
Cheongryong pondered for a moment, and answered with a bitter expression toward Cheongjuhwa, who had a serious expression on his face.
[I do not know. It is something no one knows.]
“Chi, that’s a very obvious answer.”
[Yes, but I don’t think your talents are inferior to them. No, I would rather be far ahead in terms of talent.]
Although he is usually very picky, Cheongryong gave Cheongjuhwa a fairly generous evaluation.
[Depending on what you do, you may even be able to reach the same level as that scavenger.]
“Are you Chungha?”
[Yes. Among the elders of the current family, he probably has the most outstanding skills.]
At Blue Dragon’s words, which were virtually the best evaluation, Cheongju-hwa did not express his feelings, but he felt his heart calming down.
Obviously, if you do not get impatient and move forward with your own convictions, the road to growth will still be infinitely open.
In the meantime, Cheongju-hwa asked Cheongryong for new advice.
“How did it look to Blue Dragon? This time, it seemed like we were fighting with all our might.”
[Are you talking about that guy?]
The identity of the person they were pointing to was simple. It was none other than Han Kang-yoon.
This time, the blue dragon, who had been pondering for a little longer, opened his mouth carefully.
[It is clear that the workmanship has already reached a considerable level. In particular, he seemed very good at combat itself.]
“Is that so too?”
[And the most important thing to notice is the spells he uses.]
Obviously, most of them were not unfamiliar to the Blue Dragon.
However, sometimes, very occasionally, among the techniques that Han Kang-yun uses, there are things that one cannot guess the way it is.
If he had developed all of those techniques himself, he could see that he had tremendous skills in that area.
[Obviously, the appearance and fighting style are all different, but somehow he smells of blue luck.]
“Are you talking about your ancestor?”
[Yeah, at least they are clearly similar to the others in their unique atmosphere.]
And the blue dragon knew the characteristics of such people all too well based on his many years of experience.
[Obviously, the criminal is going to go down a path he can’t even imagine.]
“It means the size of the goals we have are different.”
It certainly seemed to be true even though Cheongju-hwa thought it was true. Kang-yoon Han certainly has such a feeling.
[They are obviously great, but on the contrary, they need a helper to support them.]
Blue Dragon’s words contained an unknown regret. I can’t be sure, but it’s probably related to Cheongwoon’s past.
[Those who missed the time and regretted it are meaningless. It’s better to keep an eye on the guy’s condition before that happens.]
“… Yes. I will do that.”
It was late at night. Now is the time to reorganize your thoughts and move on to tomorrow.
Cheongjuhwa tried to sleep with her eyes closed, clearing her complicated head.
***
After me and Cheongjuhwa returned to the academy, nothing happened for a few days.
For a while, I had been running so busy that I was entangled in various incidents, so this kind of peace felt rather awkward.
‘Is school going to start soon?’
It has been a year since I fell into this world.
It didn’t seem like a very long time had elapsed, but the ghosts are really crying.
“What, are you back already?”
“long time no see.”
I greeted Hansol who was holding a drink in the pack, and recalled the news I had received from Professor Baek Ji-eun this morning.
‘By the way, I completely forgot.’
A royal bounty received for the achievement of rescuing Princess Laura and the Academy cadets from Spain in the past.
It seems that it has now been passed on to the academy.
Also, according to Baek Ji-eun, there seemed to be one more news to deliver in relation to it.
[Come back when you have enough time. If possible, today or tomorrow would be appropriate.]
And I visited Baek Ji-eun that afternoon, and I was able to naturally realize what the news was.
“… Well, it’s been a long time.”
“Yes. What are you doing here?”
Laura de los Lucia, the second princess and representative of the second year of the Royal Academy of Spain.
It was none other than that she was visiting the Cheonghwa Academy.
‘The semester hasn’t even started yet, so it’s not unusual to visit here at least once.’
But I, too, could not foresee what would happen next.
It was something that had never happened in the original story, and it was like a bombshell remark that I could not have even imagined.
Those words were just coming out of Laura’s mouth.
“I started taking classes here as an exchange student from this semester. I wish you all the best again.”
“Yes?”
Princess of Spain, she transferred to Cheonghwa Academy. also in the same class.
