Episode 150
Fortunately, no one had any particular problems with the arbitrary resolution of the case.
It was an emergency, and it was thanks to the official exorcist qualification I got the other day.
‘There will be more and more places to use in the future.’
Obviously, taking the exam early was a good choice in many ways.
After the case was resolved, we went back to the academy again after a brief investigation and testimony.
In the process, I was able to notice a big change that had happened to Laura.
【Laura de los Lucia】
▶Level 39
▶ Ability
【Health: B-】
【Spirit power: B-】
【Method: B】
【Spirit: B-】
▶Characteristics (5/10)
【■■(-)】
【Road of the Emperor (S)】
【Conductor (A+)】
【Patience (B-)】
【Enhance concentration (C+)】
Perhaps it was the virtue of being constantly stimulated and confronting it head-on in such an urgent situation, Laura had an unconfirmed character that was completely open at some point.
‘Perhaps the original experience close to the reference point was accumulated.’
That’s why we’ve reached 100% with this incident.
Either way, it was great news for me.
“Then I will go back to my residence. Everyone worked really hard.”
As it was in Spain, Laura is a princess, so it is impossible to live in a dormitory because she is easily involved in various disputes.
After breaking up with her, the only ones left were me and Shin Sora.
“… Well, I don’t really feel it. I think I just dreamed one night.”
Shin So-ra tilted her head over and over again and let out a questionable voice.
Then, with a resigned expression on his face, he looked at me.
“By the way, what have you become so strong in the past few months?”
Shin Sora had a really surprised face. In fact, from her point of view, my improvement in my skills must have been a feeling close to the reverse.
A classmate who had no intention of moving up to Class A in an instant, and now he defeated Sophia, who was the best in the grade, and became able to face high-ranking monsters.
She seemed to be somewhat shocked by my growth.
“You beat Sophia, and I think you know exactly how it came to be.”
“… … .”
“I can no longer compete. Obviously, it wasn’t like this before vacation… … .”
After all, before and after vacation, I have grown so much that I can say that I am a completely different person.
There were so many intertwined events, so in a way it was natural.
Shin So-ra, who had been staring at me for a long time with a complicated expression on her face, said to me as if she had made up her mind to something.
“I can’t. I’m going to training today. Am I going alone?”
“uh. See you next week.”
Originally there was such a saying.
If you mix a few low-ranking students in a school where all students study, their level will naturally rise.
In a word, it meant that my present existence had already become a kind of stimulus for the class A cadets.
It was not only Shin So-ra who was affected.
‘Neither Jung Hansol nor Guilford probably participated in the qualification test in the original world line.’
They, too, may have influenced me to some extent.
And in the end, it was clear that the current A-class personnel would push their backs so that they could grow beyond the original.
This point was not taken into consideration, but it could be seen as a fairly positive trend.
‘It’s not just words, the current personnel are really the golden generation.’
If they build up their skills more than the original figure, it will definitely be of great help in the future.
With such satisfactory thoughts, I also walked a little on the promenade and returned to the dormitory of the academy.
‘I have a lot of work to do.’
After all, it’s April.
Now, it was time to move a little busier.
***
‘About two months or so?’
The tour period promised with Shin No-eul, the leader of the Red Flower Team, and the time remaining until he encounters the S-rank monster, Myodusa (猫頭蛇).
Of course, it wasn’t a short time, but that didn’t mean there was enough time.
After competing with Hoyaukamui, I feel more and more like that.
‘The Kamui I caught this time is probably… … , A rank lower level.’
It wasn’t the lowest rank, but it was a little lacking to be called the middle rank.
And against a guy like that, I’m in a pretty tough fight.
Shin So-ra and other exorcists said that I had a lot of work, but it was not true.
‘I would never have caught it by myself.’
Without their immediate help, I wouldn’t have even had time to cast a higher curse that would be the key to winning against a quick and quick guy.
Assuming that there are no powerful people to support me or allies to use in battle, I am now more helpless than I thought.
‘… … .’
How much less can you face a much higher-ranked Myodousa in this state? To be honest, it was suicide.
There is a reason why the Red Army, which was a skilled combat unit, fell into a state of annihilation.
‘To be honest, I don’t even know exactly what level he is yet.’
Of course, not all S-ranks are the same.
Even within the same rank, there is a difference as much as the sky and the earth between the lowest-ranked individuals and the highest-ranked individuals.
If I add a little bit of exaggeration, won’t it come to a conclusion in one or two gestures?
From that point of view, it was not a good way to blindly help the enemy team and fight them.
‘Should this also take out the trump card?’
To be honest, if you summon Jeonghana Cheongna, the elder of the Cheongga, and Kibeom Cheong, it will be a battle worth fighting against even against such a myodusa.
However, there was no point in solving the situation like that.
Because I wanted to keep the Red Red Army alive and at the same time owe them a huge debt.
Even if the elders of Cheongga are active in all directions, it is their merit, not mine.
‘The more I think about it, the more I need the Red Red Army.’
Although they belong to the Exorcism Headquarters, the Red Army is a fairly independent group.
And in the end, I needed them.
A force that can help me completely without noticing anyone when I am in a car.
Those who were the perfect fit for him were the Red Army.
‘In the not too distant future… … .’
There will come a moment when both the Exorcism Headquarters and Cheongga will stand in complete opposition.
If there is a force to support my back at that time, it will definitely be a great strength.
‘… … .’
In order to do that, I had no choice but to raise my specs so that I could face Myodusa Erchu for the remaining two months.
So, I decided to solve one of the tasks that I had been putting off.
‘I have to fill in the remaining characteristics.’
Also, the remaining four spaces are all capable of sniping him.
***
The Myodusa was not an entity that was directly an enemy of the player, but surprisingly, a lot of information about him was in my head.
It was also based on the story of a real monster from the beginning, and it vividly relayed the process of the destruction of the Red Army in the game.
In other words, if I want to do that, I can fill in all nine traits except for the illusion delay with his sniper.
As I said before, through the method of erasing the character.
‘But that’s unrealistic.’
It takes quite a lot of effort to delete the trait, and now all of my traits, except for one or two, consist only of net exhaust effects.
Isn’t it impossible to burn a thatched house to catch Myodusa?
So, I will use the remaining four traits as efficiently as possible to increase my responsiveness to him.
The first was the emergency avoidance (B-) characteristic.
‘Myodousa has a lot of powerful shots.’
If I fall victim to such attacks, I can’t stand it at all with my current defense capabilities.
So, that part had to be supplemented with characteristics.
‘Actually, it’s a bit of a strange judgment from the outside.’
I’m not weird, anyone would think so.
How can a B-rank attribute be of any help against an S-rank high-ranking youkai?
But, ironically, it also helps.
‘Originally, all games released during this period are like that.’

Most players will probably think. Of course, when playing the game, the characteristics of the highest grade, S-Rank, will exert a great influence.Surprisingly, however, this is not the case in reality.
Not only in the Exorcism series, but in other games as well.
‘Even if it’s the highest S rank, there are quite a few things that are difficult to use in practice.’
Conversely, even among the lower ranks, there are some that exhibit strangely unstoppable efficiency.
Commonly referred to as fraudulent traits.
B-Rank emergency evasion was also a part of it.
‘Once a day, the owner’s evasion ability is maximally increased for 1 minute.’
Just looking at the effect, you may feel that way. However, this maximal increase in evasion ability is truly a formidable effect when used in practice.
Obviously, attacks that would normally have been unavoidable can be passed without a single wound, and that applies not only to visible attacks, but also to curses and status abnormal effects.
In fact, it was a capability that could not exist in reality and involved systemic permission.
‘Of course not invincible.’
If a wide-range attack targeting the user arrives, or if the attack is unavoidable, etc.
In some situations, even the emergency evasion feature can’t work at all.
However, if the opponent was a monster of a type that attacks a single entity as powerful as the Myodusa, nothing could exert such an effect as this characteristic.
If my original skills are added up, the Myodusa won’t be able to even touch a single finger for the first minute that the talent is activated.
‘After all, this is the only one.’
Since the level was not very high, the acquisition method was challenging enough, so I immediately started intensive training to acquire the emergency evasion characteristic for a while.
After calling Jeonghansol or Cheongjuhwa to attack, he continued to avoid them, and sometimes he repeated absurd training, such as covering his eyes and avoiding flying balls as in novels or movies.
It didn’t matter if the training really helped me anyway.
It was enough as long as the conditions were met systematically.
After suffering so much, I was finally able to get the reward I was aiming for.
【Emergency Evasion (B-)】
▶Once a day, greatly increases the owner’s evasion ability for 1 minute.
‘… succeded.’
Through Yuhaon, I confirmed that it was possible to acquire characteristics with the knowledge I knew, but I was a little worried because there were not many cases of this yet.
However, if you have checked this far, you are sure.
Perhaps other characteristics can be acquired by satisfying the existing conditions.
I checked my information with a satisfied look on my face, and I fell into thought again.
I kept thinking about the number of cases where I could fill in the characteristics of the remaining three spaces to achieve optimal efficiency against the Myodusa.
