Episode 141
“You mean that kid is doing a shikigami that you don’t even know about?”
“To be precise, that would be the next step. Dealing with the shikigami itself is already at the level of maturity, and in addition to that, he is using his own technique and the abilities of the shikigami in harmony.”
“That is… … .”
“It is difficult to use it as a measure of strength, but at least it is clear that he has extremely high talent.”
“Huh.”
At Gil Sam-bong’s words, uttered in a calm tone, the supervisors exclaimed with disbelief.
He wasn’t the kind of person who usually talks nonsense, so at least some of them must have been accurate.
Soon, Lee Moon-soo, who had been observing the situation, opened his mouth again.
“There are quite a few others that stand out. To be honest, I already have more skills than active duty.”
“Surely it is. Jihak-kun of the Hwang family was familiar with the skill, but Hansol-kun, the 21st candidate, is already showing skills that can be called a skilled exorcist.”
“It is not entirely wrong to say that the times are changing rapidly.”
When Lee Moon-soo was the same age, the level of aspiring exorcists had not been leveled up.
Obviously, the speed at which the new generation of talent is hitting and rising is quite frightening. Lee Moon-soo also nodded and acknowledged that fact.
“Anyway, it looks like Miss Sophia will be the first to pass through the second gate.”
“It looks like you have already surpassed the average clear time for a long time, shouldn’t you open the gate?”

Most of the supervisors agreed with that statement. Although we talked for a long time, about 4 minutes had passed since the start of the test.If you are already trying to reach the last gate, it makes sense to open a special gate.
And just when everyone was in agreement, something strange happened.
Han Kang-yoon, who crossed the first gate one step later than Sofia, found the answer to the second gate right away.
“Huh, this… … .”
“What the hell happened when you opened your eyes for a moment, did anyone see for sure?”
“I was watching, but after entering the gate, I used various spells and found the key. It probably looks like a detection series technique.”
“Hmm, ordinary detection techniques wouldn’t work properly in this place… … .”
Like the previous evaluations of Lee Moon-soo and Gil Sam-bong, Han Kang-yoon was definitely a person of interest.
The supervisors exchanged views quickly and exchanged views, and a conclusion was soon reached.
The result was a unanimous decision to send Han Kang-yoon to a special gateway.
“I will open the door right away, and I will check there to see if there is any cheating.”
A new door was opened, and Han Kang-yoon was sent to the special gateway, the den of proof.
Eventually, the direction Han Kang-yoon chose was the center.
It was a gateway centered on pure combat ability, which had to overcome the shikigami placed by Gil Sambong.
“This is going to be fun. It’s a battle of shikigami versus shikigami.”
“By the way, no matter how special a gateway is, isn’t it too much? As far as I know, the two animals in the back are probably your main shikigami.”
“Chuckle. We have considered the case of Jung Hae, who has now become an elite exorcist. Those who enter the special gate are talented people who are different from ordinary test takers, no matter what. If we don’t put forward this level, wouldn’t it be impossible to make an accurate diagnosis?”
“… hmmm. For now, I will trust you and watch over you.”
It could have been considered Yunan, but that reaction was not entirely wrong.
In fact, the power of the shikigami prepared by Gil Sambong was at a level that even other 3rd-level exorcists could not overcome.
However, as Gil Sam-bong said, the opponent is an unknown entity whose reality cannot be known yet. If possible, it would be better to definitely check the upper limit at this point.
And, soon, such thoughts of Gil Sam-bong turned out to be the correct answer.
Fuwaak!
Whoops-!
🤩🤩🤩🤩
From the shadow of Han Kang-yoon, who had inflated the size of what kind of magic he had used, many shikigami began to pour out.
Goblin, goblin, ghost, etc. There are so many different types that it is difficult to even identify them.

Many of them seemed to have ministered to none other than real monsters, and their level was not that easy to pretend.In the battle of the shikigami that began to get entangled with each other, most of the supervisors opened their mouths to appreciate the true story.
“Now, how many replacement shikigami… … .”
“Hey, how can I get rid of a ghost that is difficult to deal with from that age?”
“I understand what the teacher said that the shikigami has already reached the level of maturity. It’s rare to see a magician like that in the field.”
The supervisors had different opinions, but most of them were admiration.
And although he did not express it, the one that surprised me the most was none other than Gil Sambong.
‘It’s crazy.’
To be honest, I was more than surprised and embarrassed.
To see shikigami of this level only in the exorcist qualification test?
In particular, the power of some of them was truly astonishing. Even Gil Sambong, who already possesses a number of shikigami, was to the point of wanting it, so wouldn’t it be terrifying?
Lee Moon-soo, a first-class exorcist, also exclaimed admiration from the side of Gil Sam-bong.
“Awesome.”
“It’s really like that. In particular, the fact that he is unwaveringly dealing with shikigami as powerful as that in a melee will prove his ability.”
No matter how excellent a shikigami may be, if the owner’s level is low, it is inferior to none.
Aren’t there countless similar stories in the East and West?
In that sense, Han Kang-yoon perfectly controls the excellent shikigami and uses them in the right place, so there is no lack of being the right owner.
No matter how far Gilsambong is from the site, my shikigami were not so kind enough to give way to anyone.
Without an excuse, Han Kang-yoon was amazing. In fact, more than a few active duty officers. It was at a level where any further evaluation was insignificant.
“It makes no sense to wait any longer. The food gods will bite you.”
“Heh, I didn’t do my best, but the shikigami of the teacher was pushed back… … .”
“Maybe, really, a talented person who can leave a mark in history again has appeared… … .”
In that way, Gil Sambong recovered all the shikigami, and Han Kang-yun, who opened the way, advanced without blockage and passed all the gates.
It took a total of 5 minutes and 57 seconds.
It greatly exceeded the record of 7 minutes and 21 seconds left by Chung Ha, and it was truly an overwhelming achievement.

‘Even if you don’t express your feelings, everyone’s eyes have changed.’
To be precise, after setting a new record at the barrier escape gate of the second test, the examiners began to regard me as a person of interest.
The shock must have been a shock.
The power of the shikigami that I saw at the last gate was to the point that even I, who knew roughly the truth, was embarrassed.
‘No, who in the world can release a shikigami like that for aspiring students?’
No matter how special a gateway that requires the level of an incumbent exorcist, it is true, there is a law.
If it hadn’t increased the number of ordinary production shikigami after school started, it might have taken more time than I thought.
Anyway, I overcame those obstacles and proudly set a new record, so the supervisors who are watching the exam by now are probably talking about me in full swing.
So, I had to build a record that stood out in the remaining three tests.
“From now on, I will enter the 3rd test center according to the guidance.”
The third test that followed was surprisingly a written test.
I knew it was rare, so I knew it, but I didn’t know that it would actually happen.
But rather, from it I could roughly infer the contents of the last remaining test.
‘It must be an extreme test that consumes mana and stamina.’
As mentioned in the original text, it was said that the purpose of test takers’ physical fitness management is when there is a written item in the middle of the test.
In other words, it was the same as the advance notice that the next test would be quite intense.
And, not surprisingly, the next 4th test was a battle-oriented test in which teams competed against each other.
And it was simple.
Eight selected captains take turns selecting team members, and then select two team members for each round and send them into the 4th test site, the duel.
And the 16 test takers who entered the arena battle each other, leaving only one team remaining.
Survivors can decide whether to continue the battle until the next round, or to give up and pass their turn to the remaining teammates.
In other words, it seemed to have the intention to watch the pure combat ability and the breathing between colleagues.
‘… … .’
I wasn’t selected to be the captain, so I quietly waited for someone to select me as a team member. And it was none other than Jeonghansol who chose me.
“Looking at it, everyone seems to have passed the exam well. Did you also go to the barrier?”
“The content is probably the same.”
Among those who have come this far, there will be definitely dropouts, but looking at the color of their faces, it seemed that all the A-class cadets were confident of passing.
‘By the way, if Joe is structured like this… … .’
He couldn’t avoid fighting with other cadets.

My gaze, which had been busy moving here and there, eventually stayed in one place for a while. It was in the direction of Sophia Charlotte, the head of the grade.fresh.
At the same time, Sophia was also watching me, and the moment their eyes met, she smiled brightly.
Unfortunately, it’s probably not in a very mild sense.
“Actually, I wanted to pick him too.”
“It’s difficult. Because it’s so famous.”
In fact, most aspiring exorcists of the current generation probably know her.
Day by day, I show my face in the media and receive praise, but it is difficult to know unless I live by building a wall with the Internet.
It was not unusual for the captain, who was therefore the first to have a choice, to choose her.
“Is he going to come out of the grass? will you come Because it is a monster of spiritual power that never gets tired.”
“Looking at your face, it looks like you’re going out.”
“Then shall we relax a bit and go out together at the end? It might be worth trying if the other kids come out just in time.”
If you’re aiming for a win, that’s a reasonable decision. I would have done the same in the first place.
However, very wildly, Sophia has a promise she made before.
The promise we made when we visited her residence after the last comprehensive exam.
‘Obviously, the next time we had to face each other, was it meant to fight head-to-head with all our might?’
Perhaps the smile that Sophia had sent earlier had a similar meaning.
It wasn’t an academy test, but an exorcist qualification test, but that doesn’t mean it’s the right condition, but you can’t ignore it.
I finally let out a sigh and spoke to Hansol.
“You come out last. I will go out first with the other members.”
“Eh? why?”
“I decided to do that last time.”
Jeonghansol looked at me with an expression of what kind of bullshit, but I ignored it and walked over to the arena to find one of the crew members.
Then Sophia, who had entered there first, saw me and smiled broadly.
“He came.”
“… First of all, it’s a promise.”
“This time, we won’t be looking out for each other.”
About a minute had passed since we exchanged glances like that.
Finally, the signal that the battle was about to begin resounded in the low air.
