The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

chapter 13



Lee Soo-yeon was waiting for her first training in Dalian.

Because there were talented people who were particularly interested in this jockey.

One of them was Monica, a transfer student.

She belongs to a church that is said to use combat power based on her outstanding divine power.

But Monica wasn’t a weapon-dependent exorcist.

He already possessed spearmanship skills that overwhelm other trainees with an ordinary spear.

There, he had reached the level of applying that spearmanship to his special ability, the sense of battle.

So, Lee Soo-yeon gave Monica the most difficult opponent to deal with.

It’s a trainee who uses a gun.

In a person-to-person battle, especially against a melee weapon, the power of a gun is so powerful that it can be considered an asymmetric force.

Furthermore, when it comes to sparring between trainees, it was never easy to overcome the difference.

“Yes, until there.”

Monica overpowered even such an opponent in an instant.

It was a skill that exceeded even Lee Soo-yeon’s expectations.

No matter how close combat-related abilities he possessed, his reaction speed was enough to knock out flying rubber bullets.

“·······”

Continuing with the next couple, Soo-yeon Lee internally organized the order of combat power among trainees.

After all, Monica is the strongest.

And among the other trainees, there are two who can succeed him.

It was Kang Jin-woo and Kim Da-young.

Dayoung Kim has a fear of things commonly referred to as ghosts in the mass media.

Because of that, it seemed like it was quite difficult to train against spirits.

Dayoung Kim had a talent for using a sword, regardless of her ability.

Even if she did kendo or fencing, I wonder if she wouldn’t have been great.

This was a rare case in which the direction of one’s talent and ability matched.

If she keeps working hard, it won’t be long before she grows up to be on par with Monica.

However, compared to that, Jinwoo Kang’s power was still far from long, even for Sooyeon Lee.

“Then let’s start sparring.”

So, Lee Soo-yeon put the two together for accurate measurement.

I don’t know why, but Kang Jin-woo had considerable skills in overall combat skills, including swordsmanship.

However, he has no combat-related abilities.

So if you think about it normally.

‘Would Dayoung Kim win by decision?’

The only thing Kang Jin-woo is clearly ahead of Kim Da-yeong is that he has a divine spirit.

However, the ring he had was an object that only affected spiritual power.

Although rare, it is of no use in such a person-to-person battle.

In addition, his spanner has low stats among gods, enough to be mixed in the supply, and is not a suitable weapon at all against Claymore.

So, if it’s a variable, it’s just Kang Jin-woo’s unknown combat skills.

‘Even considering that, it’s still hard to win.’

Fighting skills are fighting skills.

It was something that even ordinary people could obtain if they put in the time and effort.

However, the quality is different.

Like magic, making an overwhelming difference just by existing, laughing at the time and effort of ordinary people.

Isn’t that the ability exorcists awaken, that is, the value of superpowers?

So Lee Soo-yeon thought that the confrontation between the two could end sooner than expected.

That is, until Kang Jin-woo brilliantly parried Kim Da-young’s first attack.

visor!

Sparks flew between the greatsword and spanner.

Kang Jin-woo’s spanner deflected the lightning-like slash that fell from top to bottom.

Surprise lingered in Lee Soo-yeon’s eyes.

Is it a coincidence?

No, it couldn’t have been.

And she recalled two weeks ago when she coached Kang Jin-woo one-on-one.

Kang Jin-woo’s posture was perfect, but his body didn’t follow.

visor! Chae Chaeng! visor!

Even though Kang Jin-woo defended the first attack almost perfectly, Kim Da-young’s attack continued like water.

Unbelievable combos for a 150cm long sword are pouring down on Kang Jin-woo.

A bit rough, but quick.

An attack worthy of a novice swordsman born of talent.

However, Kang Jin-woo’s defense was also quite strong.

Each attack barely touches Kang Jin-woo’s body.

Even in the face of a hopeless level of difference in reach between a greatsword and a spanner, he was only hitting the sword as much as was necessary.

“also···”

It wasn’t a coincidence either.

Kang Jin-woo’s fighting skills were close to his ability.

However, Lee Soo-yeon knew for sure.

That wasn’t genius.

There was no spiritual power at all that should be felt if it was a superpower.

If that’s the case… did you mean that you reached that level purely through individual efforts?

Enough to defend against longsword attacks with tools such as spanners?

“wow···”

The trainees in class A who were watching the confrontation between the two exclaimed in exclamation.

Unlike before, the level was high even though it was boiling.

It was unintentional because of that, but the confrontation between the two looked like a scene from a martial arts movie.

So, not only did it draw the attention of the trainees, but even Monica, who had been sitting there as if bored until now, was changing her eyes.

“·······”

Lee Soo-yeon looked at the confrontation calmly in silence.

A fierce battle that is difficult to rank.

However, if you look closely, it was Kim Da-yeong who was pushing the war situation.

Kang Jin-Woo is showing more defensive power than expected, but defense is only defense.

As long as he did not go beyond defense and counterattack against Da-young Kim, Jin-woo Kang was defeated by Da-young Kim’s offensive.

Does Kang Jin-woo know that?

He showed a move to try an intermediate attack that parried the sword.

It’s just that the attempt is blocked every time by an attack that comes flying without a bird to open its eyes.

As expected, in order to counterattack, he had to pierce the reach of his longsword, but it seemed that it was not easy.

“Haa… whoa…”

And soon, Kang Jin-woo’s breathing became rough.

It was depleted of stamina.

On the other hand, Kim Da-yeong is still in an upbeat state.

If this continues… will Kang Jin-woo lose?

However, Lee Soo-yeon did not make the decision easily.

If it was Kang Jin-woo, it wouldn’t be strange even if he had a number hidden.

So she quietly watched the confrontation.

The moment finally arrived.

kang!

A harsh metallic sound rang out.

Until now, Kang Jin-woo’s spanner, which had been conserving its strength and cutting the sword lightly and turning its path, vigorously struck the claymore.

Then, the path of the sword was greatly twisted, and even Kim Da-young had no choice but to step back to adjust her posture.

It was then that Kang Jin-woo discovered something.

“uh···?”

His gaze was directed to Dayoung Kim’s back.

With a brief question, his eyes suddenly fixed their gaze on it, and astonishment filled his eyes.

Before long, an expression that something was wrong was drawn on his face.

Why are you like that?

Sensing an unusual atmosphere, Lee Soo-yeon looked around.

Even Kim Da-young, who was drunk in battle at the change, stopped moving.

Kang Jin-woo shouted in a voice filled with fear beyond embarrassment.

“Ryeo, it’s Ryeong!”

Surprised by the sound, Dayoung Kim turned around.

Lee Soo-yeon also unconsciously watched the direction Kang Jin-woo pointed.

Is it a command?

suddenly here?

Even though she thought there was no way that could be the case, Lee Soo-yeon was nervous as she raised her spiritual power.

Kang Jin-woo’s face and voice were serious.

I can’t even think of it as a joke or prank.

but···

No matter how many times I looked, the only thing there was empty space.

Lee Soo-yeon’s head bent slightly.

“What are you saying all of a sudden-”

Empty!

Lee Soo-yeon’s voice overlapped with a dull noise.

It was the sound of Kang Jin-woo’s spanner hitting Da-young Kim’s protective equipment, who was looking back.

in that subtle atmosphere.

beep–

Only the warning sound generated by Dayoung Kim’s protective equipment resounded calmly.

***

“Ha… Mr., you’re really embarrassing.”

After all afternoon training.

Returning to my room, I sighed and said.

In conclusion… the quest was successful.

The condition of the quest was to win against Dayoung Kim.

Fortunately, I didn’t take into account how petty and cowardly the process was.

So the quest was completed safely, and all I had left was the reward, bad memories, and reputation that fell into the deep sea.

“·······”

The moment she won against Dayoung Kim with a lie.

Yes, I was also expecting Lee Soo-yeon’s astonished expression.

Did you want to win like that? I had the confidence to confidently say that there was a reason for everything.

However, the reaction of others was unexpected.

I thought it would pass as a joke, but the atmosphere of the onlookers was quite cold.

It’s as if a drama you’ve been focusing on has come to an empty end.

In particular, the foreigner, whether it was a Monica or a harmonica, did more.

Her gaze was filled with hatred beyond coldness.

what did i do wrong

No, I did something wrong, but I didn’t do it to Ji.

Was that woman, by any chance, a racist?

Well, it’s like being cold to other people normally.

That’s good enough.

On the other hand, Lee Hyeon-seok, as usual, smiled and passed on.

Even though he was quickly defeated in the sparring with Monica, people are kind.

However, the biggest problem was Dayoung Kim, the person involved.

She showed no reaction immediately after the match.

Seriously, like I don’t understand why I did it.

However, she asked me in a very cautious tone on the way back to the dormitory after education.

“Did I do something wrong?”

I said it was absolutely not like that, but as I was making such a nonsensical explanation, the wise man’s time had come.

That damned quest caused some weird misunderstandings.

In addition, the quest reward obtained after taking on such a disgrace was worse than expected.

<Job Draw Ticket>

It was another draw.

That’s not a characteristic, it’s a job selection right.

Is this crazy game going to pick up former jobs too?

ha, now i know

I’m sure something like the Archmage will come out of here.

And just by hearing the name, they give you a bunch of amazing magic skills, and every time you try to use a skill, this warning window pops up.

<Insufficient magic power!>

It was obvious.

things like dogs.

Fool me once, fool me twice

With that in mind, I used the lottery ticket.

Then, this time, a brown slot machine popped out.

But the slot machine didn’t work as I expected.

Unlike the first time when it went from silver to gold, now the color doesn’t change from that sh*t color.

How the hell are you going to give me a junk job?

<Acquired an F-class job, gatekeeper!>

and!

gatekeeper!

The moment I was about to spit out double curses, the game log continued.

<An error has occurred.>

<Error Code 311: There is already a job applied.>

Did you get an error too?

There were all kinds of special features in the subject of superpowers.

<Load the applied job.>

<The job grade is too high!>

<Some abilities are sealed! The seal will be released when the unlock conditions are met.>

<Acquire a job! The character window opens!>

<The quest reward is resent.>

Logs followed, and the changes that followed were displayed on the screen.

First, the icons increased.

Next to S for skill, Q for quest, and I for inventory icon, C for character.

There are already 4 of them.

When I opened the character window like that, my job caught my eye.

When I saw those two letters, I immediately spat out the curse I was about to say.

“… f*ck.”

Warrior.

Again, that beggarly word was written on the character window.

And Bonnie… the exorcist’s abilities were usually related to trauma.

So, is your job a warrior?

A job that was applied to that too?

yes, it must have been Because I was a warrior

But why is the ability sealed? What are the unlocking conditions?

It was absurd.

I closed the character window, opened the inventory, and confirmed that the reward had been resent.

Surprisingly, this time it wasn’t a draw ticket.

<Lower Job Skill Options>

It seems that the annoyance I felt was conveyed, and I was told to choose at all.

Even though it’s a low grade, you’re getting a proper reward now.

Thinking so, I immediately used the option.

Then, a list of selectable skills was listed.

<Ironfelln Beginner Swordsmanship>

<Heinrich Aurer Practice Method>

<The Obertron Meditation Method>

<Fire Mastery>

<···>

Almost a hundred skills.

But I was familiar with all the names of those skills.

“Ha… all of this…”

These were the things I learned during my time as a warrior.

There was also how thoroughly I researched it, even something I had forgotten about.

I don’t know who it is, but it seems like you’re very used to digging into other people’s trauma.

That made me feel like a dog, but there was one good thing about it.

It was a technique I had used at one time, so I knew the pros and cons of it.

“Then, for now…”

I started sorting out the skills.

First, all magic is excluded. If you don’t have mana anyway, you can’t use it.

And swordsmanship and seniority were the same.

In this world, there is neither mana nor aura.

Therefore, swordsmanship remained in the realm of pure martial arts, and actions such as splitting rocks and cutting mountains could not be imitated.

There’s another condition.

I didn’t fully disclose my abilities to the outside world.

So, even if you use the skill, you need a skill that is not noticeable enough to not be questioned.

“·······”

That’s how I pulled out the skills that met the conditions.

I thought the conditions were not difficult, but most of the over 100 skills were excluded.

Less than ten were left.

And only three of them are useful.

<Rapid healing>

– Natural healing power greatly increases.

– Defense is slightly increased.

<Seoul Buddha>

– If you defeat an enemy in a spirit state, you gain 50% more EXP.

– Item drop rate increases by 100% when defeating an enemy in a spirit state.

<Soul Strike>

– Damage to enemies in spirit state is increased by 30%.

– When attacking an enemy in a spirit state, the critical hit chance increases by 25%.

“It’s ambiguous.”

To be honest, there wasn’t much of a difference between the three.

Because it was only insignificant skills that I didn’t even remember when I was a hero.

The only difference is that each of them is a skill corresponding to defense, utility, and attack.

“then···”

After thinking for a while, I chose one skill.

Then, the skill window icon flashed, notifying the addition of a new skill.
