The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

“They killed Oh Jin-hyung, who died that day!”

The man pointed his finger at Lee Soo-yeon and shouted.

Oh Jin-hyung.

It was a name I had never heard of.

That’s right, I didn’t know anyone in Class C, so it’s natural.

But it wasn’t just me.

Class A, Class B, and Class C are only in the same space as each other.

There was never even a conversation between them.

Classes B and C are under the control of the teaching assistant.

And it was because Class A didn’t want to get involved with them.

Is that why?

Despite the man’s cries, few seemed to believe his words.

“Really! Really, those bastards are Oh Jin-hyung-”

“Until there.”

At Lee Soo-yeon’s words, the assistants who had retreated controlled the man again.

The triple bar fell mercilessly over the head of the handcuffed prisoner.

“Gagging…!”

merciless assault.

In an instant, covered in blood, he collapsed back onto the chair.

The members of Class A held their breath, but were not too surprised.

Because it wasn’t the first time.

Occasionally, Class C members who disobeyed the controls were treated that way.

Tsk tsk.

someone clicked

Did he think he was punished for spouting nonsense?

“The testimony from a moment ago is true.”

However, his words were recognized as true by Lee Soo-yeon, not anyone else.

“Oh Jin-hyeong of class C was executed by the assistant in the last practice. He escaped the practice principal for the purpose of escape. You violated the rules of the training center.”

Calmly, I put the word execution of Lee Soo-yeon into my mouth.

The question about him came from class A, not class C or class B.

“Is that… is that okay?”

A middle-aged man who said he was a taxi driver stammered out.

Lee Soo-yeon answered casually.

“Yeah, it’s class C.”

“·······”

“In case you misunderstand, in the case of class A. Deliberately leaving practice areas without reason will result in penalty points. This is applied unfavorably to grades upon completion of the training institute.”

Lee Soo-yeon looked at class A and said.

Class C is punished for escaping, but class A is punished.

The absurd difference made me laugh out loud without even realizing it.

Lee Soo-yeon’s words continued.

“And class B is considered a prison break and the sentence is increased. The increasing standard is twice the current sentence. So it would be better not to try futilely.”

In the case of class B, punishment proportional to the sentence they received.

It wasn’t too surprising.

“However, regardless of the reason, Class C is disqualified the moment they break the rules of the training center. You may have said this before. The criterion for class C to complete the training center is pass or fail.”

“Did that mean you would kill them if they failed?”

“It may seem that way in the end, but causation is reversed. Class C are criminals whose death penalty has been temporarily suspended. Therefore, those who do not pass are stripped of their trainee status, only to receive the punishment they deserve.”

“So you kill me? we are! Do we not even have human rights?”

The man from Class C, covered in blood, shouted.

“Human rights?”

Lee Soo-yeon looked at him and then ridiculed him.

Lee Soo-yeon took her eyes off him and looked at Class A.

“Do you think so too?”

There was no answer coming back.

Lee Soo-yeon manipulated the tablet that was placed on the podium.

And I found something there and read it as it is.

“Oh Jin-hyung. Two years ago, he was sentenced to death for breaking into an ordinary family home, killing four family members, including a 4-month-old newborn, and stealing cash. And… Jeong Jong-hoon.”

Lee Soo-yeon’s gaze turned to the man in Class C.

“One year and eight months ago, they kidnapped a preschooler and threatened their parents. Arrested by the police after failing to extort money. The abducted child was murdered in a fit of rage just before being arrested. This resulted in a death sentence.”

Both were formidable offenses.

Maybe that’s why class A and class B, too, looked even colder toward men.

Then the man screamed in agony.

“That… so, what! you are the cops! Can the police do this?”

“Leave it alone. Whatever you want to do, keep going.”

Lee Soo-yeon made the teaching assistant who was blocking him step back and said so.

Then, the man thought it was this time, and Lee Soo-yeon came up near the podium.

“If you’re a cop, you don’t have to obey the law! Otherwise, what’s the difference between you and me? uh? Are you guys criminals too?”

he shouted.

As if to resolve the grudge he had endured under his assistants until now, he spoke as if he were going to eat Suyeon Lee.

However, despite his words, Lee Soo-yeon silently looked at him.

Then the man smirked and now looked in our direction.

“A death row inmate, kill them as you please? Is there any way to do that? uh? there is? Tell me if you have!”

“there is.”

Lee Soo-yeon, who was still, opened her mouth.

The man looked back again.

“what?”

“The existence and power of exorcists, including our exorcist police, are not disclosed to the outside world. But that doesn’t mean it’s out of control. Obviously, there is a special law for this, and we are enforcing it.”

Lee Soo-yeon’s voice is as calm as usual.

But in my ears, I could clearly sense the disgust that lingered in that tone.

“And about the treatment of class C, you should have already told me when you got out of prison. The training center has the right to life and death for all members of Class C. And when you leave the training center, the head of the institution that takes you takes over that right. I’ll tell you clearly here, class C has no human rights.”

Lee Soo-yeon said so.

no human rights

I thought it was strange that he would use a felon as an exorcist from the beginning, but I didn’t expect it to be like that.

Doesn’t that mean that you will actually use it as a throwaway card?

“That makes sense-”

“It’s done now, Jeong Jong-hoon.”

Lee Soo-yeon cut off the man.

With a determined face, as if there was no need to listen anymore.

And she took just one step back.

“You are unqualified.”

As Lee Soo-yeon finished her words, a dry gunshot rang out.

The man collapsed, blood spraying from his head.

Before I knew it, the assistant who was blocking the man was holding a pistol.

“·······”

The trainees couldn’t even scream at the shocking sight.

The two people around me, Kim Da-yeong and Lee Hyun-seok, also only look at the fallen man and Lee Soo-yeon in turn.

Only Monica, who sat a little closer to us than usual, stared into space with low, sunken eyes.

In the midst of that quiet silence, Lee Soo-yeon’s voice continued.

“Then we will resume training.”

And indeed, Suyeon Lee continued her education.

In the meantime, the man’s corpse was moved by the assistants and soon disappeared from sight.

All that was left was blood splattered on the floor.

But no one had a voice.

Classes A and B, as well as class C, which was usually full of rebellious spirit, looked down this time.

By the time the morning training was over.

Lee Soo-yeon added as if advising.

“I think there are people who are surprised by today’s events.”

She was looking at Class A.

There was a hint of bitterness in his expression, albeit slightly.

But soon, that sign disappeared, and she returned to a calm expressionless expression.

“But get used to it. Since you’ve taken this path, you should get used to death. Even if someone is dying in front of your eyes like this, you need not lose your sanity.”

Lee Soo-yeon said as if even this was education.

“In addition, the same practice as last time will be repeated in the future. Please refer to it.”

Education was there.

In a confused atmosphere, I left the classroom.

It was lunch time now.

“I’ll just go in today.”

“I have no appetite either.”

Kim Da-young and Lee Hyeon-seok said that and went back to the dormitory first.

It must have been because of something that happened a little while ago.

For those who have lived a normal life, it must be an unfamiliar sight.

By the way, what shall we eat for lunch today?

With that in mind, I was heading to the restaurant alone when someone called me from behind.

It was Monica.

“What about the other people?”

“I went first. They say it doesn’t taste good.”

She looked at me subtly and said.

And my face brightened a little at my answer.

“Then let’s eat together. There is something I want to ask you.”

It wasn’t difficult, so I nodded.

and after a while

Monica and I sat in the dining room.

My lunch today is ramen.

And it was gimbap.

I swallowed a piece of gimbap and opened my mouth.

“Are you okay?”

“Are you okay?”

“Does it taste like rice?”

At my words, Monica stared at her meal.

Monica was pork cutlet.

She answered my question while slicing pork cutlet like a steak.

“There are sinners, even in churches. I saw a lot there.”

Monica added that the C class members recruited by the church are called sinners.

Also, as Suyeon Lee said, they still seemed to be treated similarly there.

It’s new, but it was fortunate that I wasn’t organized into Class C.

“Is that so? Then what do you want to ask?”

“Your body. Healthy?”

Are you healthy?

I wanted to say something, but I immediately remembered the reason for the question.

The battle against the Blood Rang that fought alongside Monica.

Perhaps it was about the injuries sustained there.

“Well, as you can see. It’s okay now.”

“I’m glad.”

“Did you come to ask about that?”

Monica frowned.

“no?”

“…there’s nothing that can’t be done, really?”

I tilted my head.

Because I wasn’t the type to look so affectionate.

With that thought in mind, I moved the spoon.

The spiciness of the ramen broth covered my tongue.

“Actually, one more thing.”

yeah i knew it

I inhaled the ramen and waited for her next words.

“thank you.”

Monica suddenly said that.

Not expecting her to thank me, I immediately asked back.

“what?”

“That day, when I fought the Blood Wolf. I couldn’t win.”

“That’s it, me too.”

I didn’t have the power to kill blood.

All that was possible was just to pass the time.

That’s why each of them did what they could, but Monica sent a suspicious gaze.

“really?”

What is real?

Since she kept her mouth shut, Monica continued talking.

“You are very strong. Me too…not to that extent. How did you do it?”

“How what? You see, we just fought.”

“But you are an expert. A very good professional.”

Hey, if she had watched my struggles in the battle with the Blood Rang, she would know that my movements are unusual.

So I told you why.

“You are an expert. He was a warrior.”

I have briefly told my story.

Then, as expected, Monica’s expression hardened a little.

“me. I’m not joking.”

“Neither do I. You don’t have to believe it if you don’t want to believe it.”

Saying that and shaking hands, Monica let out a short sigh.

Then he said something unexpected.

“···okay. don’t ask anymore offer instead. teach me.”

“Are you teaching? what?”

“How to use a window.”

I thought it was a joke, but Monica’s face was serious when she said that.

“Already doing well.”

“no. still not enough I will pay the price.”

pay for it

Honestly, whatever it was, I wasn’t too keen on it.

But as if pushing my back, a game frame appeared above my field of view and a quest window popped up.

＜Character Quest＞

Subject: Monica

Alignment: orderly, good

– Complete Character Story 1.

Reward: Among the sealed hero’s job abilities, [Lord of Flame] is unlocked.

character quest?

The content and format were quite different from ordinary quests.

The difficulty is not written, but the reward is specified.

But…the contents were vague.

What is Character Story 1?

Are you saying accept the offer?

In addition, it took a tendency.

It was like someone’s assurance that Monica was kind, so don’t worry.

Rather, it makes me feel worse.

“please.”

While I was thinking about this and that while watching the quest.

Monica even bowed her head to me, perhaps judging that I was hesitant to refuse.

An attitude that is somehow desperate.

so i asked her

“Why do you have to be so strong?”

“There is a Mine that I must meet.”

“Mine?”

Monica nodded.

I thought about it for a while.

It would have been beneficial to accept this…

The reward was too great to give up just because I was annoying.

The hero’s ability that is now sealed.

Each of the powers given only because he was a hero was worthy of being called a miracle.

Among them, the ability of the ruler of flames is simple.

Doesn’t burn.

No, it doesn’t take any damage at all.

In addition, if you use fire magic or something, the power greatly increases, but this is an effect that has little use in reality.

But even without that, being immune to fire at all was a fairly strong defense mechanism.

can’t do it

Taking a deep breath, I decided to accept Monica’s offer.

However, I opened my mouth while hiding my true intentions.

“What is the price?”

Because I had to take it for sure.
