Yoo Ha-on smiled brightly, and Han Min-ah, who was working in the Defense Corps’s mid-level line, also smiled and agreed.
Then, with a bittersweet expression, she expressed her gratitude to us.
“One of the exorcists who initially went missing was our youngest. In a way, you’ve avenged us. Thank you so much.”
Because of the shortage of personnel, it seemed there was nothing she could do but wait for the results of the exorcists at headquarters.
After finishing everything and leaving the Defense Corps, Yoo Ha-on spoke to me with a serious expression as we were returning to Dongaksan Mountain.
“I want to become an exorcist after all,”
“You didn’t want to before?”
“Rather than that, I mean, in a more serious sense.”
I definitely remember this scene. It was an episode in the original work where Yoo Ha-on resolves to grow as an exorcist in earnest after the fight with Sori-soe.
“Even so, things like 1st-grade or special-grade seem too far away.”
“It’s not impossible.”
“. . .How can you say that so confidently?”
I fell into deep thought at that.
It’s not for nothing, but Yoo Ha-on will definitely become a special-grade exorcist or even greater in the near future.
That’s just the flow of this world, and because she’s the main character.
I looked at Yoo Ha-on like that and quietly answered.
“You’ll know just by watching.”
“. . . . . . .”
In the first place, it’s at a level where you can level up just by fighting once. She’ll definitely be able to grow at a rate that exceeds anything you can imagine.
「𝙎𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩.」
Ding!
【Yoo Ha-on】
▶Level 33
▶Ability Scores
【Stamina: B-】
【Spiritual power: B-】
【Spellcraft: C+】
【Mental Strength: B-】
▶Traits (4/10)
【Limit Break (S)】
【Blue Beacon (A)】
【Growth Acceleration (B)】
【Skilled Hunter (B-)】
As I read Yoo Ha-on’s information again, I felt something strange and looked up again and slowly checked the contents.
【Skilled Hunter (B-)】
▶You gain sharper senses and more agile movements in battle.
「𝙒𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨?」
I thought about it carefully, but it was definitely different. The trait Yoo Ha-on had as far as I knew was 「𝘼𝙜𝙞𝙡𝙚 𝙃𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧」of C+ rank.
If that’s the case, there was only one answer.
「. . .𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙩, 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙬?」
I stood still and stared at Yoo Ha-on.
She lost the Anti-Demon of EX rank that she should have originally had.
「𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙩 𝙗𝙚. . . . . . .」
However, it seemed that Yoo Ha-on of hell difficulty had the ability to grow traits that no one else had.

After that, various things happened.
I was harassed by Baek Eun-seo, who was angry that I had taken Yoo Ha-on to the battlefield without telling her, and I also had a hard time avoiding Baek So-yul, who seemed to have become more interested in me after hearing the news.
I also participated in the training led by Baek Seo-ha with Yoo Ha-on and her friends, and spent the rest of my time faithfully.
And, before I knew it, the end of the short but long summer vacation was approaching.
「. . .𝙄𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙞𝙩.」
Now that I’ve gotten past the battle with Sori-soe, the starting point of story chapter 2, it’s time to return to the main story in earnest when school starts.
I straightened my mind once more and finally returned to Cheonghwa Academy, the main stage of story chapter 2.
“. . .Looks like you’ve gotten yourself into trouble again.”
The first person I met when I returned to the academy, one day before the start of the second semester, was Seo Ji-an.
“It just happened that way.”
“I don’t believe in physiognomy, but when you get involved in so many incidents like this, I can’t help but wonder.”
“How’s your sister?”
At my sudden question, Seo Ji-an looked away shyly and answered after a very short pause.
“. . .She’s gotten better thanks to you. She’s gradually recovering her health to the point where she can live her daily life.”
“That’s good to hear.”
“She was quite disappointed last time, so she’d be happy if you could visit her sometime when you have time.”
“I’ll do that.”
Seo Ji-an stared blankly at my face, then opened her mouth again as if she had almost forgotten.
“I’ve sent all the materials you asked for to your dorm. If there’s anything else you want, please let me know anytime.”
“Thank you. You’re quick as always.”
Come to think of it, one of the best choices I’ve made since I fell here is to become friends with Seo Ji-an.
Thanks to her, I’ve been able to leave the small things to her and focus on the real problems.
“Speaking of which, are you thinking of taking the promotion exam?”
There was indeed that issue. The voluntary class promotion exam that takes place at the beginning of each semester.
If you get a good evaluation there, you’ll be given the opportunity to move up to a higher class.
Since I had nothing to do in the 2-D class, it might be better to move up to the A class or B class now.
“I’ll think about it a little.”
“. . .Okay. Let me know when you decide.”
“Are you going to take it too?”
It’s true that Seo Ji-an had stayed in the B class due to special circumstances, but with her current abilities, there’s no reason why she shouldn’t be able to move up to the A class.
“I might see you in the A class soon.”
There, even though they’re not the main characters like Yoo Ha-on and her friends, there are several people with monstrous talents comparable to them.
Especially Sophia, the top student, and Hwang Ji-hak, the second-best student.
「. . .𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙨.」
Even Yoo Ha-on, the main character, had never defeated Sophia once until she left the academy.
Seo Ji-an, who had been hesitating for some reason, made a suggestion to me, who was lost in thought for a while.
“Do you have time tonight?”
“Tonight? I don’t have any other plans.”
“. . .Then, would you like to have dinner with me? I have something to talk to you about regarding what happened last time.”
As I watched Seo Ji-an mumble in an unusually small voice, I nodded without even thinking about refusing.
