Chapter 237 – 237. Head-to-head competition (2)
●
I stare blankly at Elijah, not even thinking about wiping the water droplets that are dripping from the corner of my mouth.
What did this guy just say?
“I’m telling you in advance.”
Seeing me like that, Elijah grumbles and opens his mouth.
He himself seems quite embarrassed by what he just said.
“What are you talking about? Are you joking? Did you say something wrong? If you talk nonsense like this, I will hit you. Do you understand?”
“…”
As I was unable to say anything and was just gaping, Elijah started speaking in rapid succession.
The counter punches that were being attempted from this side were all blocked in an instant.
“You heard it right just now. I confessed now. “To the teacher.”
“…why…?”
“Why would you do that?”
“…”
“Don’t give me stupid answers. “To be honest, you know everything, but you’ve been avoiding it until now.”
“uh…”
As I glanced at the foolish words, the answer came back sharply.
“I’m not asking for an answer right away. “It was so sudden, and I know it’s not something that can be decided so easily.”
Elijah, who continued to say those words without even having time to breathe, looked straight into my eyes and continued speaking.
“However, I can promise you one thing.”
His straight eyes are completely different from the gibberish he used to have.
Make sure these words hit you straight in the ear.
“I am not affected by the constitution of the teacher’s soul or anything else.”
“…what?”
“But do you know what I mean by ‘confessing’ to you just now?”
“…”
Before he could say anything, Elijah slammed the teacup in front of him into his mouth.
It must have been hot enough for steam to rise, but that seemed like a good thing. As if it doesn’t even bother me.
“Good drink! “Okay then!”
With those last words, he ran out of my room.
Considering that it came at us with such force that it hit us, it was good to say that it almost ran away.
“…”
What?
“…hmm.”
No, really, what is it?
●
How far did it go when it popped out of Daoud’s room?
Elijah sat down, covering his bright red face with both hands.
did.
I did it.
I had been debating whether to do it or not, but I gave in to the impulse I felt in the moment and took the plunge.
‘Ah, how will I see the teacher’s face from now on… !’
A voice filled with tears flowed from inside.
You will be rejected, right? You will be rejected.
If you just look around that person, there are a lot of people who are much greater than Elijah himself, so what chance does he have that he will look after him?
Of course, the reason why I confessed like this was like a headbutt.
[That was a good approach, wasn’t it?]
“…It’s noisy.”
It must be because of the ‘advice’ given by this obnoxious person.
It’s because of this person that I’ve continued to tell you to actively rush to the other side, and the reason I’ve been the first to advise you to ‘confess’ before it’s too late.
[Hmmmm. I especially liked the part where you pointed out that you do not receive the constitution of the soul.]
“…”
[Unlike other foolish devils who fell in love with you because of your ‘abilities,’ I truly only looked at you and fell in love with you. I became your prisoner. I completely fell in love with human to human -]
“I said it was noisy…”
Elijah barely answered while wiping his burning ear.
Of course, he accepted that low temperature even though he knew that they would make fun of him at this level.
It may be because she was anxious about losing Dowd’s ‘first time’ to an unknown person.
[Someone who doesn’t know what it is? Weren’t you convinced that he was the student council president or something?]
“…No, it’s a little strange.”
Elijah narrowed his eyes and answered.
There is no need to even use the eyes of truth. Elnor and Daoud didn’t do ‘that’.
If that had been the case, a clear change in the relationship between the two would have been observed, but at least in Elijah’s opinion, the atmosphere between the two had not changed much compared to before.
However, there is no doubt that Daoud at least lost ‘that’ from the Duchy of Tristan. whoever-
[Then it’s the devil, right?]
“…yes?”
[It’s obvious. Connecting with a devil means that the devil is scraping the target’s ‘soul information’. I guess they are preserving it in advance in case of an unexpected situation. So that no damage occurs when rewinding.]
“What do you mean?”
[It means something big will happen to that man soon.]
“…”
This angel basically always mutters unkind information like this.
It clearly provides information about the situation, but it feels like it leaves out everything about ‘why that’s happening’ or ‘what that means.’
[Because he is a hot potato even in this world, that man. I did some research on this and that. Then, really interesting things started pouring out.]
“I’m not curious.”
[Aren’t you really curious?]
“no. “I don’t think you’ll tell me anyway, and I think I’ll be satisfied if the angel just shuts up for now.”
[…Aren’t you a little too much for me?]
The angel grumbled like that.
[Then, out of courtesy, I will tell you one thing. If you are a warrior with a holy sword, you have to prepare anyway.]
“yes?”
[That man is going to have an accident soon.]
“…again?”
[…I’m not surprised, kid.]
Chicheon sighed and continued speaking.
[Rather than causing an accident, it feels like you’re turning the wheel 180 degrees… But anyway, an accident is an accident. Because the world line that was supposed to run has completely changed.]
“Please explain, Angel Chi. please.”
[Even if I tell you anyway, I won’t do it because I don’t understand. However, at least I know that something will happen ‘at this point’. Because it has always been like that.]
It is nothing compared to the demons that exist beyond the time axis. In the first place, that part is managed by a gray devil who is no different from the head.
However, if you are a Chicheonsa, you can stand on the same line and at least understand the ‘flow’.
Even within the time axis that has been ‘repeated’ over and over again, this is where the biggest stem is determined.
And, in most cases.
At this point, something happened that decided the man’s ‘end’.
Grey, purple, white, blue, brown, red, and the forgotten yellow.
Depending on which of the seven demons you deal with, your future will change completely.
It is outrageous that the things that change even include the devils themselves and the fate of the world.
[Now, most of the devil’s vessels have gathered in this club, right? It’s not all gathered yet.]
“…Yes? “Does that matter?”
[It’s not important. This is the first time the man decides who to put within his ‘boundaries’. There will be differences in who you like more and who you like less. Demons are very sensitive to that kind of thing?]
An explanation was added that who would be accepted, who would be placed in what position, and such would play a major role.
At the words of the archangel, Elijah frowned slightly with a serious expression.
“…So, to put it another way.”
It’s a funny thing to say, even if she thinks it’s funny, but to sum up Chicheon’s remarks…
“The fate of the demons and the world are decided depending on who the teacher accepts into the club?”
[huh. Are you pretty smart?]
After hearing the archangel’s words, Elijah immediately responded bluntly.
“Isn’t the fate of the devil and the world decided too roughly?”
[…]
“The world will be destroyed and the future will change just because of what kind of club activities you’re doing, and you’ll be saying some very crazy things-”
[…I admit that it sounds like that, but I’m not saying it will change right away, but rather that an ‘opportunity’ will arise this time.]
Chicheon sighed and accepted the words.
[So you, too, should do your best to prevent harm from over there? Probably all sorts of things will happen from now on.]
So, isn’t it true that the devil was also worried about that man’s safety and personally extracted the ‘soul information’?
Elijah frowned and responded to those words.
“…I know, me too. “I swore several times that I would protect your life.”
[okay. If you protect your life diligently, you can at least hear an answer to your confession-]
Elijah wordlessly struck the holy sword on the floor.
It was a decision to establish rough discipline, and by the time he actually picked it up, Chiangsa’s voice had become a little sullen.
[…Are you really too much for me?]
“You need to learn to stop teasing me, angel.”
[Yes, yes. by the way.]
Chicheonsa continued speaking with a grin on his face.
[…love is so scary. Isn’t it?]
Ultimately, it is those feelings that determine the bond between the man and the demons.
It is the most fundamental and primal, but because of that it is the most powerful of all.
Because of that.
Because of that one feeling.
How funny it is that the direction of so many beings and the future of the world can be changed with just one small decision of that man.
It is not for nothing that Dowd Campbell is talked about as the ‘key to the world’ among those who know his identity.
[anyway. The screening results will be announced tomorrow, right?]
Chicheonsa continued speaking in a voice filled with laughter.
[We’ll see. Who will that man choose and how will he act?]
Truly, it was a meaningful voice.

“All passed.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“We are all new members of the club. Without exception, without discrimination, everyone is under me. “For now, just know that.”
As I began to say those words to the people I had called into the room, a heavy silence spread over me.
It seems like they didn’t expect to hear such crazy things out loud.
“…Well, it’s funny to even say this as someone who applied…”
Feynol carefully raised his hand and asked a question. There was a bitter smile on her face that she clearly couldn’t hide.
“…This kid said the purpose of joining the club was to gain strength and kill his sister? Mr. Elnor said he would completely abandon this place. “But you’re just going to… accept it?”
“yes. “I accept it.”
Daoud spoke calmly.
“As the head of the department, I promise to fully cooperate with the purpose of joining. “Because we have an obligation to do so.”
“…Then the purpose of my joining is to become their ‘property,’ so what about that-”
“I will try my best to handle that difficult situation with sincerity. Until you feel that there is no awkwardness or defect whatsoever, whether you are called a bitch or a sow.”
“…”
No, I didn’t ask you to do that much.
How on earth has this person’s tastes changed in the meantime?
As the smile on Feinol’s face cracked, Daoud calmly continued speaking again.
“However, there is a condition.”
Yes, then that’s right.
At those words, reason returned to the faces of everyone in the room.
This is probably where the main point begins.
“In a few weeks, there will be an Elfante school festival. “Do you know?”
“…yes.”
Elnor nodded calmly.
In other words, it is a ‘performance presentation’ for each club and department.
“Isn’t this one of the biggest events in Elfante, and even in the empire? “It doesn’t end within the academy, but prominent external forces are also often invited.”
“yes. Anyway, we are a club, so we can’t participate in such a prestigious event without having any outstanding results. As an exorcist, I plan to do some devil-related activities.”
“So what conditions are you going to put on it?”
“The time is limited until then.”
“…yes?”
The expressions on everyone’s faces in the room became perplexed at the sentence Daoud suddenly brought out.
What do you mean time limit?
“until then.”
Daoud yawned and said.
He looked clearly tired, having been running simulations all night to see if this would happen or not.
“If you are someone who can somehow ‘defeat’ me, I will accept the conditions you put forward when joining.”
That kind of thing.
fell down.
“Any field is fine. “Go at it with confidence.”
“…Are you serious?”
In response to Elnor’s question in an absurd tone, Dowd chuckled and spoke.
Of course, it was an atmosphere of sincerity.
“step. “If I lose.”
That’s the expression on your face that says, ‘If you’re going to attack me, be prepared to attack me.’
“On the contrary, you should listen to ‘what I ask for’ one by one.”
again.
A heavy silence fell into the room.
This could probably be said to be an appropriate response.
One human being faced with the vessels of six demons.
If he has such a confident attitude and suggests a 1:6 ‘win’.
[…Isn’t this crazy?]
Elijah cupped his forehead in agreement with the archangel’s words.
