I Became the Academy’s Genius Shikigami Summoner – Chapter 25.2

Rustle rustle.

I unfolded the technique that came to mind while I was caught in Choi Do-won’s binding technique.

It’s a forbidden technique.

A self-destructive technique that temporarily grants greater power by sacrificing one’s own life.

Creak.

As I activated the spell, a terrible feeling, as if something fundamental inside me was melting away, washed over me.

And with that, spiritual power exploded and flooded my body.

As a result, Choi Do-won’s binding technique was helplessly broken.

Clang!

“Han Kang-yoon!”

“. . . Are you out of your mind!”

Of course, the two teachers were shocked when they noticed it. Since I activated this technique, it was practically a done deal that I would also lose my life.

“. . . Oppa?”

Han Seo-ah, who didn’t know what I had done, looked worried.

I gently stroked Han Seo-ah’s head and said,

“. . . Everything’s going to be okay.”

The situation was urgent. Sensing something unusual, Baek Ji-eun stomped her feet and dashed towards me like an arrow.

From now on, I have to give it my all.

Whoosh.

“Bone Bear.”

Poof!

『Growl!』

The Bone Bear, which sprang out at my call, charged at Baek Ji-eun. The Fierce Wolf and Black Bird, which were nearby, also joined in.

“. . . I told you it’s no use.”

Thud!

Sizzle!

『Groan!』

Rip!

As expected, it wasn’t enough to stop Baek Ji-eun. Just by wrapping a talisman around her arm and throwing a punch, the Bone Bear had a hole blown through its chest and was destroyed.

However, that was enough. The whole point was to buy time in the first place.

Thanks to that, the preparations for the technique were complete.

“Great White is the Empty Wheel.”

“. . . What!”

At the incantation I uttered, a look of disbelief appeared on Baek Ji-eun and Choi Do-won’s faces.

That’s understandable. The fact that one is reciting an incantation like this before activating a technique means that they’re preparing something at least higher than an advanced technique.

“. . . To go this far and bluff.”

Choi Do-won muttered unpleasantly, but I didn’t care and continued to move my lips.

“The Origin is the Chosen.”

At the same time, a vast amount of spiritual power began to swirl around me.

Only then did the teachers realize that I was really about to unfold an advanced technique.

“Teacher Choi!”

“. . . I know.”

Choi Do-won, his expression hardened, formed a hand sign and uttered the incantation for the binding technique once more.

“Void Slaughter!”

The wriggling spiritual power tried to grab me, but it was in vain as the Fierce Wolf and Black Bird, which desperately blocked it, prevented it.

Screech!

『Gigigi.』

『Caw!』

The Fierce Wolf, which had already suffered great damage from Baek Ji-eun, was completely destroyed and shattered, and the Black Bird was subdued and could no longer move.

And finally, the technique was completed.

“Eight-sided Rotating Lotus Net.”

Poof!

Eight-sided Rotating Lotus Net.

As the name suggests, it is a binding technique that restrains the enemy by striking them with a wave of spiritual power.

Baek Ji-eun, who was running towards me, was swept away by the wave of spiritual power, and Choi Do-won, who had also unfolded a defensive technique, couldn’t avoid its effects.

“Keuk!”

It was only natural. I was now fighting, wringing out every last drop of my life force.

An advanced technique activated at the cost of one’s life is not something that can be easily countered.

「𝘼𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩, 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙤𝙬 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡 50 𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙧.」

Baek Ji-eun and Choi Do-won, who had been hit directly, instantly became stiff, and I took that opportunity to approach Han Seo-ah.

Clatter.

I took out a talisman from my arms and used a binding technique on Han Seo-ah as well.

“Azure Serpent Binding.”

Rustle rustle!

A blue chain sprang from the talisman, and Han Seo-ah, who was bound by it, looked at me with a complicated expression.

“. . . Oppa?”

“Everything’s going to be okay.”

This is where it gets important.

I placed my hand near Han Seo-ah’s abdomen and began to unfold the technique I had in mind.

Rustle rustle.

“I guess I couldn’t pay attention to you.”

“. . . Don’t say that. I never thought that way.”

I shrugged my shoulders at those words. In fact, it’s true that I couldn’t pay much attention to this and that because of my worries. I was, after all, a different person from the original Han Kang-yoon.

However, even so, I will do my duty as a family member properly, since I’ve decided to live as Han Kang-yoon.

「𝙊𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮, 𝙃𝙖𝙣 𝙎𝙚𝙤-𝙖𝙝 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙣’𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙞𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚.」

In a way, the current situation is the butterfly effect caused by my actions. It’s not in my nature to just stand by and watch it.

“. . . . . . .”

I said earlier that it’s impossible to nullify the technique engraved on Han Seo-ah’s body on the spot.

「𝙃𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧, 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙚𝙧 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩.」

I will transfer the resurrection ritual technique to my body.

Rip.

The curse that was throbbing on Han Seo-ah’s body began to fade, and instead, it reappeared on my forearm and the nape of my neck.

Han Seo-ah, who noticed it, was shocked.

“Wait! Stop!”

“I’d like to explain, but there’s no time.”

The time limit left is about a minute. It’s quite close.

“No! Don’t do it!”

Han Seo-ah cried out heartbreakingly, but she couldn’t move because she was caught in the binding technique.

In the end, I succeeded in transferring the resurrection ritual technique engraved on Han Seo-ah to me.

Squirm.

I can definitely feel it. The completion of the technique is just around the corner.

I steeled my resolve and said to Han Seo-ah, who was in despair.

“Use Choi Do-won and Baek Ji-eun as shields.”

Rumble!

Immediately afterwards, as the technique was completed, my body collapsed to the ground.
