Chapter 1126 – 1126. Savior of the Academy
Fetish and (呪物).
These are the guys who dared to dismantle my sex department. There are other small departments, but the one with the arms is the casting department. My brisk steps headed toward the casting and the building.
The casting department was located on the first basement floor of the academy annex building. As the name suggests, it was in a shady place. On the first floor, there is an obscure major that deals with the mind or something.
“Yujin. Calm down. You’re not trying to start a battle in the casting department, are you? I can never allow that.”
Calles, who was following me, grabbed my shoulder in front of the stairs going down to the basement and said,
“Teacher. I’m cool. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything that will get you expelled.”
Calles calmly looked into my eyes and nodded.
“… Don’t go out too soon. Although the scale of casting is small, history is comparable to sword martial arts. When the Casting Department was first established, the teacher who served as the representative was a very famous person.”
“Okay. But I really don’t like history subjects.”
Go down the stairs. Maybe half way The temperature suddenly dropped and it became cool.
‘Benefit army. It’s not to block people outside… Conversely, a barrier to protect people outside from things inside.’
At the end of the stairs came a steel door. Doesn’t even knock opened the door and entered. You should be thankful that you didn’t kick with the fetish.
“…… “
As soon as I entered, the eyes of 8 people were fixed on me. Seven are students and one is a teacher.
I quietly looked around. Even with the fluorescent lights on, there was no bright feeling. Bizarre objects were hung on the walls, and the withered corpses of people or monsters were placed on top of the bookshelves.
“You are more gloomy than you think. It’s also a casting.”
“… Suddenly, they come in and spit out an absurd remark. What’s going on with the spirit department here?”
A man sitting on the sofa said annoyed.
His long black hair, flowing like seaweed, came down to his waist, and his upper body looked dry but firm. His face is on the handsome side, but he doesn’t look very good because he has thick dark circles under his eyes.
This is Kim Je-oh, the representative teacher of the Casting Department.
I proudly walked over and sat across from him.
Kim Je-o glared at me like he was going to kill me, then turned his gaze to Cales. A sharp voice came out of his mouth.
“… Miss Calles. What is this without any case? Did you come here because my remarks at the meeting were funny? And put the students in front…. I thought the teacher was very common sense, but… , Looks like I misunderstood the teacher.”
“Yujin said she had something to say to the teacher. I just followed Eugene in case of an emergency.”
“… What if? Do you think I would hit this student?”
His nervous voice rises. Calles was not at all agitated. He rather pouted his eyes and painted a smile on his lips. She is not a woman who gets scared just because her opponent comes out fierce.
“I didn’t mean it that way. Here’s the casting. It’s full of cursed items. That Yujin, the only student of the Department of Spirits, could be cursed by casting.”
“You’re saying you don’t believe me even though I’m here.”
“I heard there was an accident in the casting department last year.”
“…….”
Kim Je-oh shut his mouth. He glared at Calles once, then returned to me.
“Tell me what happened to the casting department.”
“Can’t you get a cup of coffee here?”
“Eating and drinking is prohibited in the casting department. Water is not allowed either. If you want coffee, go out and eat.”
It’s not just words. Because of castings.
A fetish is a cursed object. It is different from Jugu, which is a tool used for curses.
However, there are powerful people in this world who use cursed objects. Jumulgwa is a place where such people gather. Since this is a place where fetishes are gathered, it is natural to pay attention to food intake.
“Sensei said he wanted our Spirit Division to be disbanded.”
“You are the only spirit and student. It was created to favor you. It’s not just me, everyone else disapproves.”
I turned my head. Blue sleeves. I talked to a 1st year male student.
“Hey, don’t you admit it too?”
“Uh, uh… ? Me, i….”
The male student took a step back from her, embarrassed. A cold sweat forms on his forehead.
In the academy, ranking was rank and power. I am ranked 5th in admissions. Quite a few guys can’t even fold in front of me.
“I am asking.”
“That, that….”
The boy’s pupils wavered. He desperately sends a signal to Kim Je-o.
Kim Jae-oh narrowed his forehead.
“Stop making threats.”
“A threat? I only asked once.”
“… What you want is to continue with the spirits.”
“Yes. I don’t get preferential treatment because I’m one of the members of the Spirit Department, the academy only takes care of even one of the few. After I graduate anyway, the spirit department will disappear. Do I need to forcefully get rid of it now?”
“Things won’t change just because you convince me. There are over 20 teachers who want the Elementary Division to be disbanded. Do you think you can convince them all?”
“I do not know. From my point of view, I think I just need to convince the teacher.”
“I never give up. I recommend that you don’t waste your time and look into other majors.”
“If the spirit department gives up on the budget, would you mind disbanding it?”
“What is the meaning of a major without a budget? From my point of view, the elemental department is an overabundance that is of no help to the academy students. The building only occupies the land. You should get rid of the spirits.”
“In fact, giving up the budget was just something I did. Calles and I have no intention of giving up our budget with the spirits. Of course, spirits and dismantling are outrageous.”
“…….”
There is no compromise. Kim Jeo’s eyes say so.
“We make a bet on dissolution with the spirit. If that side wins, I will accept the spirits and dismantlement.”
“Funny. At the next meeting, the spirit and dissolution will be decided. Public opinion is like that, so the dean has no choice but to accept it.”
“So, if we win the bet, I would like you to help us with the spirits and their survival.”
“I said there was no reason to bet.”
“Are you really not there?”
I looked around.
1st grade 3 students. 1 second grader. 3 3rd graders. A total of 7 students. Among them, the first graders’ faces hardened when they met my eyes.
“Do you know who my mother is?”
“…… The one who doesn’t know will be weirder. Why, are you going to go up to her mother and whimper and ask her to keep the spirit department alive?”
“Yes. It will. I will ask you to get rid of the fetishes.”
“Ha, it’s useless. Do you think the academy will be subjected to outside pressure?”
“My mom is the president of the parents’ association. She’s not an outsider. And… With my mother’s strength… As for the teacher.”
I deliberately stopped talking and twisted the corner of my mouth. Even though Kim Je-o guessed the back story, he did not object. Keep your mouth shut. What crossed his eyes was fear.
“Do you wonder how muddy I can be, sir? I’ll tell you in advance. I am confident that I will slog to hell.”
“…… “
Kim Jae-oh’s jaw twitched. He is biting his molars tightly.
“Can you really finish clean with a bet?”
“I would like to ask the dean and vice-president to notarize it.”
“What about the bet?”
“A confrontation between the spirits and fetishes. Isn’t it simple? It doesn’t matter what the content of the battle is. What I recommend is head-to-head. Isn’t it nice that it ends quickly?”
“The Spirit Division is two people, you and Mr. Cales. Do you really think you can beat us?”
“Even if the jujukgwa attacks me in droves, they can’t beat me. Because that is a fact.”
Fast.
The sound of Kim Jae-oh’s teeth grinding was clearly audible.
“… Good night. The bet will be reported to and approved by the dean and deputy dean. This will be a good opportunity to let the academy know about your incompetence with the spirits….”
“Then let’s go find out.”
I got up from my seat.
“But maybe it’s because it’s casting, so there are a lot of interesting things.”
“… Don’t touch me and get out These are not things you can afford.”
“I just want to see you for a second. Just look.”
Spoons with drops of blood, portraits with moving eyes, photos of spirits with ghosts, notebooks with red names written on them, and withered legs, there were many strange things.
But what interests me more than anything else here is the girl in the corner.
‘Casting and aces. The decisive reason why Kim Je-oh accepted her face-off bet.’
She was short She is 1 year older than me, but she has a childish appearance that makes her look 5 years younger on the outside.
Her pale gray hair came down to her waist, and her eyes were bright red. There is a white bandage wrapped around the whole body under the academy uniform. Her neck and parts of her face are also bandaged.
Nari Shin. Academy 2nd year 3rd class. She is 65th.
She ranks 65th in grades, but her skills are at the top of her sophomore year.
“…… ?”
As I stared at her, Na-ri Shin tilted her head.
I activated the spirit eye. My pupils shine golden. At the same time, the existence behind Nari Shin’s body is visible.
A female ghost To be more precise, they are demons of a higher rank than ghosts.
Long black hair, red skin, digging eyes, and black nails over 10 cm long. The evil spirit is looking at me while hugging Shin Na-ri from behind her back.
‘The visuals are worse than in the game.’
Na-ri Shin confirmed the direction of my gaze and opened her mouth.
“You can see.”
“My eyes are a bit special, so I can see well. Senior, can I help you?”
“… Of all the people who said they would help me, there was only one person who really helped me.”
The person Shin Na-ri is talking about is Kim Je-o. I shrugged. Her reaction is as expected. There’s no way she’ll believe me and follow me. She is sure to show Shin Na-ri through her actions.
She freed the jinn inside and went out with her fetish along with Calles.
“Yujin. Did you intend to make a bet with the casting department from the beginning?”
“Yes.”
If it was another place, you could end it well by contacting Jinryeong chant or Seongha-ri. But this is the academy. The names of Jinryeongseongga and Seongha-ri do not communicate well.
‘If I do it properly, I’ll cook at least one Kim Jeo easily…. It’s better to go out like this if you want to eat Shinnari.’
Shinnari is not my taste.
‘Even so, I can’t give a woman as beautiful as I am excited to others.’
I plan to take care of other things in the casting department.
“… Just because the scale of Jumulgwa is small, it is by no means a place to be seen lightly. The thing some people fear more than magic is the curse. Is there a cure for the curse?”
“I’ll tell you something special about Mrs. Calles. No curse can bind me.”
I said it confidently, but Cales only rubbed my shoulder, perhaps because he was worried.
