The Ex-Hero Is Too Good at Exorcism

Fortnight later, at 9 p.m.

I was at the private training ground under the dormitory today as well.

It was because I accepted Monica’s offer and decided to coach her three times a week, after dinner.

“Whoa… haa…”

two hours already.

Monica, who was constantly swinging her spear in the air, burst out of breath.

What she unleashed was the Helemia Spear.

Out of all the spear skills I remember, it was the one that suited her the most.

Even though these are basic 1st-star movements now, she learned them pretty quickly.

“Keep your elbows down.”

I hit Monica’s elbow with the stick I was holding.

“Put your feet back a little. There is too much force in your shoulders.”

Every time I pointed out, I tapped the affected area with a stick.

Monica looked at me with an expression that made me wonder if it was necessary, but she couldn’t help it.

It was like a habit.

because that’s how I learned too.

“Try again.”

At my words, she threw a spear into the air again.

A much cleaner spear attack, a step forward from the previous one, cut through the air.

To my eyes, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it.

At this level… I think I’ve mastered all the basics.

“Well, that seems a bit like it now. Is it because there is a melody?”

Even so, it took almost two weeks to reach this point.

Talent is also a talent, but it seems that Monica herself put a lot of effort into it.

At my praise, Monica put a faint smile on her lips.

“Let’s end here for today. great job.”

Then, as if Monica was having a hard time, she sat down on the floor of the training ground.

I handed her a drink.

“You seem to be working harder than the first day?”

“Yeah…because it worked.”

Having said that, Monica gulped down her drink as if she was embarrassed.

In fact, at first, Monica expressed doubts about my training.

At best, teaching is basic skills like stabbing and slashing.

Instead, she asked me to fight.

From my point of view, Monica lacked the basics of spearmanship.

Of course, Monica was learning spearmanship even before I taught her.

I mean modern spearmanship.

“·······”

But basically, the martial arts of the real world couldn’t match the martial arts of another world.

If you think about it, it makes sense.

Another world is a world where swords and spears endlessly dominate the continent.

In reality, swordsmanship and spearmanship are just arts, but in that place, they are a means of survival.

That’s why the direction to develop it and the number of people engaged in it can never be compared.

The difference was bound to grow with the passage of time.

So modern spearmanship, in my opinion, was not even basic.

“It would be nice if you knew that…how did you feel it?”

However, it is not easy to find out.

Especially for a little over two weeks.

However, Monica answered nonchalantly.

“Actually, I’m repeating it. It’s strange not knowing.”

Well, that’s it too.

It was already the fourth practice of hunting horses in the middle of the night for two weeks.

I didn’t stay up all night like the first time to manage the condition of the trainees.

Clearly, the real life risking battle was repeating itself.

I would have never known if Monica was dull, but she showed talent from the cotyledon.

So it was quite understandable that she felt the importance of the basics while going through actual battles.

“good. Learn what I taught you today. Next time, 2 stars… so I’ll tell you the applied motion.”

Monica nodded eagerly.

Seeing him work so hard made me feel good too.

So naturally, I thought of something more pleasant.

“By the way, how are my tuition fees going?”

The price for the lessons I asked her to do was, of course, a miracle.

Because the church she belonged to was said to be the place where the power of divine magic was utilized to the fullest.

Also, I wasn’t just asking Monica for a nice pair of shoes.

The god I was looking for had conditions.

“I am still looking. It takes time. Because divine powers that increase spiritual power are rare.”

As she said, what I asked Monica for was a miracle that increased spiritual power.

He also said that if he collects 10 of them, he will choose one of them.

I made this request for two reasons.

The first one is the seal of the noble priest, which is the sacred weapon I have.

Since it was a set item, I thought that if I looked for an item that raised spiritual power in the same way, I would be able to find the rest of the parts.

And the second reason was the skill attached to the newly acquired Star Cloud Sword.

＜Guardian Strike＞

A blow by which the escort warrior shakes off the enemy.

Damage: 440% of weapon attack power.

Additional effect: Ignores 50% of opponent’s defense.

Spirit Power Consumption: 15

Excluding the effect, looking at the damage alone, it was different from Smash.

But the problem is unlike smash, which only used physical strength.

In order to use Guardian’s Strike, 15 spiritual powers were consumed.

However, my spiritual power is 23 even including the 10 attached to the seal.

Even this was achieved thanks to the 3rd stage while catching blood, and then raising the level once again to reach level 13.

Spiritual power only rose by 1 per level, and it took at least several hours to recharge after using it.

So, it is a very important stat.

So, in order to use the skill even once more, I needed a divine weapon to raise my spiritual power.

As I kept my mouth shut, Monica spoke up this time.

“Next week, practice, right?”

“yes.”

“are you okay?”

“what?”

“You… friend.”

“ah.”

Monica’s words brought back memories I had forgotten.

Next week, another all-night practice is scheduled.

However, this practice is not with Monica.

Who should I take instead of her…

Dayoung Kim.

It was the woman who almost cut down the same group in yesterday’s practice.

***

Today’s practice place was a lung hospital.

Unlike the last time, which was hidden in a deep forest, it was surprisingly a large building standing proudly on the edge of a large road.

Besides, the walls surrounding the building were high and clean.

On the walls that were not damaged anywhere, there were warning signs and CCTVs saying that entry into the private property was prohibited.

It was a completely different treatment from the theme park I saw last time.

I was curious, so I asked the instructor Lee Soo-yeon, who followed me today, about the reason.

“The practice space, which is in frequent contact with people, requires rather reliable management. That’s why I can’t think of coming in.”

Indeed, it made sense.

Even if anyone can enter an abandoned abandoned house out of curiosity, they won’t be able to easily set foot in a place like this.

However, being managed did not mean the inside of the abandoned hospital.

The inside of the hospital was not much different from the hotel seen in the theme park.

Dayoung Kim, who came with me, was in a state of panic even before entering the landscape, which seemed to have been brought straight from the set of a horror movie.

“The hospital is a building with 5 floors above ground and 2 floors below ground. However, another group entered the ground floor last time, so you can exorcise the basement today. Then be careful.”

Saying that, Lee Soo-yeon sent us into the hospital.

Who the hell are you to watch out for?

I looked at the 150cm long sword that was swaying beside me.

“Please relax.”

“yes yes. No… Hick!”

Dayoung Kim gasped in surprise.

Where her gaze was directed, the torn curtains fluttered a little.

It’s serious.

But I didn’t come here without any countermeasures.

Rather, if someone from class A had to take Dayoung Kim.

I was able to take care of Kim Da-young’s danger to the extent that I had to be in charge.

The reason was because of my skills and abilities.

“Dayoung Kim. You know my ability, right?”

“yes? Oh, I know.”

“There is no horse here. Put down the knife for now.”

Then, slowly, the knife Dayoung Kim was holding went down.

“I’ll let you know if anything comes up. And I’ll take care of it, look behind me. also-“

I asked Dayoung Kim for a few things.

to sum up.

I’ll take care of detecting the demons and exorcising them, so he said to stay behind.

“yes···”

Then, Dayoung Kim nodded her head down.

It’s disrespectful, and they probably think that it’s a nuisance to me.

But this was for the best.

And we slowly descended into the basement of the hospital.

Han and Baekryeong came out sparsely, but the exorcism was not difficult.

Of course, thanks to my skill, I can figure out the anima’s location first.

It was because the power of the newly acquired magic sword was quite satisfactory.

“Giii…”

Baekryung, crying lowly, was destroyed in a single blow.

Certainly, the one-handed sword was easier to handle as a weapon than a spanner.

Hey, it’s the weapon I used the most during my time as a hero, so it’s natural.

In addition, the endurance that was lacking the most was subtly supplemented by leveling up and repeated daily physical training.

Because of this, even Baekryung, who is in his late teens, was easily able to deal with him.

Of course, an emperor over 20 would be a bit dangerous.

If it comes out, it just pops out.

That’s how I went around the first basement floor.

The first basement floor was where the hospital’s examination rooms were gathered.

A total of 8 white spirits exorcised.

In addition to that, the number exceeded 20 if you add the small grudge and salt.

I glanced at Dayoung Kim in front of the stairs going down to the second basement floor.

“·······”

She was still terrified.

In addition to that, he seemed to be blaming himself on the inside, and his expression was not good.

I’m usually the type to talk to you in a friendly way.

It made me look more pitiful when I was doing that.

But there was nothing I could do.

So I was watching her for a while, but I felt a new presence on the second basement floor.

“Level 22?”

Go down the stairs to the room right in front of you.

The emperor was there.

Somehow, Lee Soo-yeon insisted on sending us to the basement.

Were you waiting for something like this?

“Is there something…?”

Dayoung Kim, who was looking at me, asked cautiously.

“There is an emperor on the floor below.”

“Emperor…!”

There was tension in Dayoung Kim’s gaze.

I left her like that and looked around.

On the wall next to the stairs, there was a map of an old building.

There was an outline of the structure of the second basement floor.

The place where the emperor appeared appeared to be a morgue.

“Hey, the morgue…”

Dayoung Kim muttered as if she would faint at any moment.

“hmm···”

The structure of the second basement floor shown in the map was not very good.

Wherever you go on the second basement floor, you have to pass in front of the morgue.

It was too risky to ignore the emperor in the not wide basement.

However, exorcising the emperor was also dangerous.

Of course, if I were to deal with the imperial spirit now, I could do it.

If you ask me if there is any possibility of dying, it wasn’t.

So should I step back from here?

Or should I put Dayoung Kim in somehow?

“···sorry.”

As I was thinking about the matter, I suddenly heard the words.

I looked to the side and saw Dayoung Kim with her head down.

It seemed that he already knew what I was thinking.

“I’m… a nuisance, right?”

“I can’t help it, what.”

I just answered like that.

Dayoung Kim was silent for a long time before slowly opening her mouth.

“Actually, I am also frustrated. Normally, I don’t mind, but just looking at them… turns white in front of my eyes.”

“·······”

“I wanted to overcome somehow, so there were times when I took the lead… but on the contrary, I only caused more trouble. Why are you doing this? Can I get over it?”

“well. It will probably be difficult.”

I said calmly.

when I was a warrior.

I’ve seen several people like this.

So I knew.

It wasn’t something that could be easily comforted.

However, it doesn’t depend on people’s mindset, and they don’t get used to it by constantly bumping into each other.

It’s just like a person’s innate personality.

In order to overcome this, it took time and effort to literally change the status of a human being.

Specifically, sharpening and polishing one’s aura to become a sword master.

Like reaching the extreme of magic and becoming a great wizard.

Of course, in reality this was impossible.

“As expected… is that so?”

Dayoung Kim muttered bitterly.

But soon, she made a clumsy smile.

“Then let’s go back. It’s dangerous to fight the emperor like this.”

Also is that the best?

That was the moment to accept her offer.

As if waiting for this moment, the quest window flashed.
