I Became the Academy’s Genius Shikigami Summoner – Chapter 93.1

As I’ve said before, in the world of exorcism, looking into the future is considered to be one of the greatest taboos.

If we were to measure the karma value of the fortune teller Unyeon, whom you may have met before, it would probably be at least red.

However, Johan, who had been seemingly convinced, quickly glanced at me and asked another question.

“B-But even for a prophet, committing such a taboo. . .”

It was a valid doubt. However, that’s why I had an excuse prepared.

“I avoided my own death with this ability.”

“Ah.”

At my words, Johan seemed to have found a sticking point.

“So you’re saying that since your life should have ended, every action you take now goes against the grain?”

“You catch on quickly. That’s right.”

Indeed, if that logic holds true, it would explain why my karma value is so abnormal.

Just by being alive, I was constantly committing a taboo.

「𝙊𝙛 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚, 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙗𝙞𝙩 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩.」

Naturally, that alone is not enough to reach the limit of one’s karma value. Probably, at a certain point, the increase in value would stop on its own.

However, there’s no way Johan, standing before me, would know such facts.

Since no one has ever reached the limit of their karma value in the first place, how could such information be circulating?

As I had expected, Johan seemed to be convinced by my explanation and nodded repeatedly.

“I understand. But why did your grades suddenly skyrocket starting this year?”

“. . . I saw a future where bad things would happen if I didn’t hide my abilities to some extent.”

The reason why I called myself a prophet is simple.

Most things could be brushed off with the excuse that I saw it in the future, which is an unbeatable logic.

“. . .It’s really fortunate that it wasn’t the situation I was worried about.”

Only then did Johan begin to explain the situation from his perspective.

「. . . 𝙞𝙛 𝙞𝙩’𝙨 𝙖 𝙬𝙖𝙩𝙘𝙝, 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙮𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙙𝙖𝙮?」

I would have never guessed that it would contain a karma value stone.

Also, the name Alan Kruger was familiar to me as well.

“I’ve heard of him.”

Alan Kruger is one of the boss-position villains that appears in the third installment of the series.

I remember him being quite a formidable opponent, as his methods were both complex and he possessed extremely powerful dark arts.

In fact, that was also one of the reasons I was interested in Johan.

「𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙖 𝙝𝙮𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙨𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙙.」

The speculation that Alan Kruger, the boss character in the third installment, is the ancestor of Johan Kruger, a supporting character in the first installment.

And now, it has been revealed as the truth.

“So, have you ever seen him in your prophecies?”

“No, I don’t particularly remember anything like that.”

“That’s unfortunate.”

“If any helpful information comes up, I’ll cooperate.”

Since Alan Kruger first appears in the third installment of the series, he naturally doesn’t appear in the first installment.

However, as I’ve said many times, this place is not a game, but reality. The probability may not be high, but the possibility of encountering him does exist.

「. . .𝙄𝙩’𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙩 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙢.」

I engraved Alan Kruger’s name in my mind once again, and after talking with Johan for a while longer, I successfully cleared up the misunderstanding.

Although a crisis almost struck from an unexpected place, as a result, I was able to obtain a useful card that I could use to ask for help without detailed explanations when the time came.

In particular, the power of the Kruger family, which Johan belongs to, will surely be of great help at some point.

「𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙝𝙚’𝙨 𝙝𝙞𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙙𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙪𝙨𝙚𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝘼𝙡𝙖𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨.」

It was clear that this would be enough to use as a bargaining chip.

Feeling relieved, I bid farewell to Johan and moved on.

Just as with Seo Ji-an’s Dae-jin Industries or Johan’s Kruger family, I felt the need to learn more about the behind-the-scenes stories that weren’t heavily covered in the main story.
