Episode 126
Solomon and the 72 demons.
It was a material that would only appear in an exorcism drama.
At least I didn’t put these settings into the work.
… … Or maybe it’s one of those settings I’ve been discarding.
sure thing.
The truth is that this book is dangerous.
I muttered to Samuel in a firm tone.
“It’s certain that it’s an unusual object, but it also seems certain that it poses a danger.”
[I will not deny it. Because you’ve already been tricking me. I declined, of course.]
“What if it’s a handful?”
[They said they would give you strength in exchange for the erosion of your soul.]
In a word, is it a story about mortgaging the soul and giving it strength?
Although Samuel rejected the offer of the book, the odds of this happening again were not low.
[You can clearly see what you’re worried about. Do you think this body is about to be eaten by something like a book? There will be no such thing.]
“Then what is that ominous aura?”
[…] … It is true that I became stronger because of the influence of books. I’m not sure, but it would be more accurate to say that the book gave it to me in recognition of my qualifications. I don’t know what qualifications I saw.]
“hmm… … .”
Samuel boasted, but I couldn’t easily shake off my anxiety.
A book related to Solomon’s 72 demons.
Samuel’s power won’t be able to fight against it yet.
The guy also added a word, as if he noticed my worries.
[It’s too wasteful to throw it away as dangerous. Even so, the risk of the book must be taken. It’s not that I don’t know about your concerns.]
“then… … .”
[For now, I plan to take this book with me when I visit the temple. If it is ‘she’, what kind of solution can you suggest?]
she?
I went blind.
If she was in the temple, there was a high probability that she would hold this position.
fuse.
Samuel was going to take this book to none other than the priest.
“… … Let’s do that for now.”
In the end, I decided it was better to accept Samuel’s offer.
Samuel’s power was strengthened through the book, and if there was a safety device called a priest, it was considered worth waiting for.
one.
Even as a priest, if you don’t know the exact identity of the book… … .
“Then let’s reconsider the treatment.”
[Let’s do that.]
He, too, calmly agreed, as if there were no obstacles at all.
than that
‘There are verses related to the Bible in Barares’ mana simbeop… … .’
Is there any connection between the family of Oman and this book?
The more I thought about it, the more my head hurt.
First of all, it turned the topic because nothing was revealed at all.
“If you do, how strong has Samuel become? What is that realm?”
[Hmm, to explain it in an easy-to-understand way, it transforms into a more efficient and powerful way to deal with mana. And what medium can be actively used.]
To put mana in an easy-to-understand way, it can be described as ‘infinite energy’.
A bundle of energy floating in the air.
It can be expanded by putting it in the body as a mental method.
After the mana stored in that way is consumed, it is automatically restored by slowly absorbing the surrounding energy.
It was possible because mana was infinite energy.
… … In fact, it’s annoying to set up mana, so ‘no matter how much mana is consumed, it will automatically recover over time.’ I did some kind of description.
anyway.
Each family in the demon realm or the human realm has its own mental method.
With that mental method, the nature of mana is changed.
Otherwise, it absorbs more and affects the total amount.
And the demons chosen by the demons have tattoos on their bodies.
It wasn’t just the seven demons of the seven deadly sins, but there were also lesser-known deities.
Principals and instructors must have received the blessings of such gods and have tattoos.
It could be said that it was different from humans who only worshiped one God.
… … Well, even the human world is overflowing with cultists.
As a result, demons with tattoos can wield mana more powerfully than demons without tattoos.
The ‘media’ Samuel was referring to was a tattoo.
“It means that you can exert more powerful power through tattoos.”
[This is the correct answer. It’s common sense to heat the tattoo when using magic, but now I can handle the tattoo more accurately.]
“Hoo… … .”
My interest was suddenly piqued.
Isn’t it a story of using tattoos beyond heating them?
The only one who reached that level was Samuel among the students, so he didn’t see anyone using such a skill.
Edea and Lujian would use it, but the cadets hadn’t reached the level of instructors yet.
So I had no choice but to see Samuel.
but.
“Can you give me an example?”
[I can’t do it yet.]
“… … ?”
Samuel said he couldn’t do it even though he talked for a long time saying he had reached the state.
At this, my expression hardened.
You mean selling drugs?
As I narrowed my eyes, I heard Samuel’s voice.
[Your temper is also impatient, how can you ask me to show you when you don’t have a body yet?]
“Ah, that’s what I thought.”
I almost made a mistake.
If I hadn’t, I could have inadvertently pulled Samuel’s thorn.
I relaxed my expression, curled the corners of my eyes and smiled.
At this, Samuel’s weak voice was heard.
[Crazy… … .]
* * *
Time passed just like that.
A lot happened in between… … .
It didn’t happen.
Until the day of the final exam, Rene and Diana did not approach me.
Often, when I went to the training room, there were times when I met eyes with Renee.
but.
“… … .”
Rene just looked away from me without saying a word.
I thought about whether or not to walk up to her and talk to her.
However, because of the awkward atmosphere, it ended up being a situation where I couldn’t do this or that.
Diana… … .
‘It’s good for now.’
He didn’t talk to me or walk around with Renee.
But I couldn’t help but feel that something was wrong.
Still, there was no clue that Diana would confirm that I was a descendant of Asen, so I didn’t care.
And Fron, who has entered the fort and looks gloomy.
“… … .”
Pron was one drink taller than Rene.
If you are in the same place as me, you will want to leave your seat altogether.
I had to participate in class, so I seemed to be silent.
hmm.
Things are getting complicated.
Even Baltan didn’t argue any further, probably knowing that the atmosphere in Fron was serious.
This can be said to be fortunate.
In the first place, Baltan likes to deal with talented people when they are at their best, but they do not challenge when they are at their lowest point.
finally.
Luna was preparing for her final exams and learning medical skills.
The medical instructor said he would teach Luna.
When I delivered it to Luna, she accepted it at once with a happy face.
So, Luna is busy learning medical skills.
The person I can talk to is
[…] … Yes, scratch that place.]
There were only parasitic demons who asked to scratch their thorns with the progenitor’s beak.
Seeing that carefree figure, I naturally let out a sigh.
Samuel does not take the test because he is parasitic on my body.
That’s why I’m more carefree than I was when the test was right in front of me.
I stayed up all night for a theory test… … .
something was embarrassing
anyway,
“Now, let’s start the test!”
exams starting soon.
It was one of the tests Edea arranged along with the practical test that was about to begin.
Practical exams are held as a grade competition.
There is only one representative for each class.
That’s why talented cadets could get absurdly low scores just because they couldn’t sit as class representatives.
Taking that into consideration, the Saitan side came up with a new regulation.
Edea directly sees the scenes of the cadets and scores them.
That way, even if strong cadets compete against each other and one cadet loses, they can still get a good score.
So, Edea has been making a match list for the cadets.
“Reveal! Check out who you will be fighting against!”
widely-.
Edea put a square on the board.
Accordingly, the cadets rushed together to check each other.
“Hey, prepare to die.”
“You dare provoke me, let me reunite you with your father today.”
“… … Still, the story of my parents seems a bit harsh.”
“Why? It’s about letting you see the father you’ve been missing so much, but thank you.”
“… … !!”
puck puck-.
“Bone, bone hit! It’s a joke… … !”
Each of the cadets showed their fighting spirit towards their opponent.
In an instant, it felt like the atmosphere was heating up.
Let’s see.
who will be my opponent
While looking through the brackets posted on the blackboard, Luna’s name was discovered.
the opponent
“Ryuk?”
It was a name I remembered.
He was one of the bullies that Kyle went out with.
The guy who somehow became kinder after the incident happened.
It didn’t look like an accident, so I didn’t pay much attention.
I heard that he even handed an apology to Luna.
Well, his skills were just average in Class A.
Against Luna… … .
Pretty strong.
“Bo, you’re not dealing with auxiliary cadets… … .”
“… … .”
I looked at Luna, who was denying reality, with a pityful gaze, then looked away.
It would be difficult for her, but Luna would be able to get good grades in other exam subjects.
After all, Luna was a model student.
What mattered was my opponent.
Anyway, there were no other cadets with skills similar to mine except for Pron, but there might be variables that I don’t know about, so there was nothing wrong with paying attention.
As I was looking for my name on the bracket, Samuel spoke to me.
[I can see how strong you have become on this opportunity. Deep down, I wanted to see how much your mana increased.]
“So do i.”
I was curious too.
I’ve done a lot of training alone, but I didn’t quite grasp how strong I actually was.
It was because they achieved rapid growth without going through the stage of ‘fighting spirit’.
As of now, I’m not even sure if it’s stronger than Baltan.
It didn’t mean that I lacked skills.
literally don’t know.
Therefore, it is urgent to objectively grasp my skills, and this final exam will be of sufficient help to that end.
While I was reading the table with such thoughts in mind.
tall-.
My gaze stopped.
My name was written on the bracket.
And the moment we saw the other person’s name, Samuel and I couldn’t help but freeze at the same time.
not long after
“hahahaha, that sounds like a really fun time.”
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing like a madman.
In response, Samuel spoke with a disapproving look.
[…] … What’s fun?]
“hmm? Aren’t you having fun?”
[It’s not fun at all.]
“Huh, then I’ll make it fun for you.”
[You bastard… … !]
I couldn’t help but make fun of the restless Samuel.
That would be too.
《 Adele vs Eris 》
Because my opponent was a female student who had a crush on Samuel.
I leaned back with an exaggerated gesture and burst into laughter.
“The festivities of madness have arrived. Indeed, will your lover be able to dodge my dagger?”
[You bastard… … !]
At this, Samuel could not hold back his anger and spewed out his thorns.
swish-.
I dodged the thorns that aimed at my face from the wrist with a simple movement.
Then, he curled the corners of his eyes like a crescent moon and left a word.
“Today will be the end of that arrogant attitude.”
indeed.
What will be the fate of Samuel and Eris… … !
