I Became the Academy’s Genius Shikigami Summoner – Chapter 27.1

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟐𝟕

Seven sorcerers belong to the anti-social group Yahwak (Night School).

All of them are highly dangerous, mainly operating in East Asia, and are on the blacklist of several countries.

And among them, Bi-hyeong used to be his main base of operations in South Korea, where he was born and raised.

「𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙖 𝙬𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙙 𝙪𝙥, 𝙨𝙤 𝙄 𝙙𝙚𝙘𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮.」

While hiding his body and traveling around every nook and cranny of Korea, he accidentally discovered a powerful being dormant on Yeongwol Island.

That was the beginning of the incident.

「𝙃𝙚’𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙖 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩 𝙢𝙞𝙭𝙚𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙙𝙚𝙢𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙. 𝙄𝙛 𝙄 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙮 𝙢𝙮 𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙨 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩, 𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙗𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧.」

Bi-hyeong is a being who inherited the blood of the original demon. He was confident that he could exploit even a higher-ranking opponent than him.

Furthermore, the island where he was buried was owned by Cheonghwa Academy, an exorcist training institute in Korea, so it seemed like a pretty good picture.

So he took action.

However, he eventually failed.

「. . .𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜?」

I had thoroughly checked the teachers’ track records in advance.

In reality, the academy’s available forces couldn’t even touch his perfect plan and were separated from the students.

「𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙨𝙠𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙮 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙟𝙪𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙙 𝙡𝙚𝙛𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙩 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨.」

They are no match for Bi-hyeong.

Therefore, the situation must have been calculated perfectly up to that point.

「. . . . . . .」

The thing I was most concerned about in this plan was preventing the sacrifices that would form the center of the resurrection ceremony from losing their lives in vain before they could serve their purpose.

However, there was no problem in that regard.

「𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.」

What remained were immature people who had yet to shed their youthful naivete. I thought it was absurd for them to properly grasp the situation, make cool judgments, and kill their comrades.

Furthermore, by deliberately releasing two of the teachers in the latter half of the ceremony, we can say that a certain degree of success was achieved.

The teachers, who were tricked into perceiving false information, would pull the trigger for the resurrection themselves. That would complete the ceremony.

「𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙖 𝙛𝙚𝙬 𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙨, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙄 𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙤𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢.」

I sent C-rank or higher yokai that I brought myself to those who possessed immense spiritual power, such as the blonde girl, the new buds of the Three Great Houses, the Hwang and Cheong families, and those with skill and determination.

In other words, there was no reason in his common sense for the plan to fall apart to this extent.

「𝙄𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙙, 𝙞𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖 𝙫𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙄 𝙙𝙞𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚.」

Bi-hyeong stared blankly at the immature beings blocking his way.

They all had outstanding talents for their age, but they were not enough to be a threat right away.

「𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜.」

Geusdae, who had barely managed to form a body and resurrect, was dragged back into the unseen depths by someone, and the resurrection ceremony was over.

「𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙞𝙩 𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧.」

It was true that he had also consumed a lot of energy in order to hold down all of the academy’s forces.

Now that there was nothing in particular to aim for, Bi-hyeong tried to leave the place.

“However, I can’t let those who dared to hurt me go.”

“Huff!”

At those words, Yoo Ha-on and her party, who were confronting Bi-hyeong, fell into despair.

After a sudden encounter, they had somehow managed to continue the battle with the help of Cheong Haram and Hwang Ji-hak, 2nd-year seniors, but the enemy in front of them was just too powerful.

“Your skills aren’t bad. But let this be a lesson for you to never cross paths with me again.”

Baek Eun-seo with a broken spear in her trembling hand, Hwang Ji-hak covered in blood, Cheong Haram with a twisted arm, and finally Yoo Ha-on who was close to exhaustion from pushing her limits.

「. . .𝙄 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙙𝙤 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜.」

The others were in no condition to fight. The only one with the least injuries was Yoo Ha-on herself.

Yoo Ha-on, who had made up her mind, stepped forward, fingering her precious cursed object.

A necklace that was said to have been left behind by her unknown parents, which brings peace of mind to the heart.

「𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚.」

Yoo Ha-on poured all her strength into confronting Bi-hyeong, who was lightly casting his sorcery.

“Spectral Ghost Wolf.”

“Rending Wave!”

Yoo Ha-on’s desperate plea was easily crushed before the mighty foe.

「. . .𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙙.」

Yoo Ha-on closed her eyes tightly, anticipating the end.

However, the scream that soon rang out was not her own, but her opponent’s.

“Kkuk!?”

A black talisman imbued with ominous energy pierced through Bi-hyeong’s defensive sorcery and attached itself to his body, unleashing a curse.

Fortunately, Bi-hyeong’s sorcery that had been overwhelming Yoo Ha-on and her party seemed to have been broken by the influence.

「. . .𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨?」

He had thought it was a minor attack and left it alone, but the curse quickly invaded his body.

Bi-hyeong was shocked as he realized its source.

「𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙𝙣’𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙖 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜!」

He himself knows because he has been accumulating karma value all this time.

The wicked taboo karma emanating even from this level of curse. It was a kind that Bi-hyeong had never seen before, even as Bi-hyeong.

「. . . . . . .」

After reaching the realm, most enemies were trivial.

However, right now, Bi-hyeong felt fear for the first time in a long time.

「𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙖 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙪𝙢𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚?」

The amount of forbidden karma was simply unbelievable.

Did he once turn the world upside down in the past? It was such a wicked sensation that it was impossible to think of anything less than that.

It must have been the same person who messed up my plan. Only now did the puzzle that had been stuck together seem to fit.

「𝙃𝙪𝙝.」
