When you stare into an invisible mountain spirit.

“Jo Eushin, use the Eye Glow skill.”

As he said that, Baekho-gun’s eyes were filled with a rogue expression.

Did I have to use Eye Glow to see the mountain spirit?



Woooong—

My vision changed, and my head and eyes began to ring.

‘He’s in the shape of a person.’ A mountain spirit making all sorts of gestures towards me while being grabbed by Baekho-gun by the nape.

“Let it go. I didn’t fall because of him.”

“… … .”

Baekho narrowed his eyes before letting go of his hand. At this, the mountain spirit hurriedly ran and hid behind me. It seemed that he wanted to avoid the gaze of both Baekho and Hwang Jiho.

“Tell me what happened. If it is determined that it is a mountain spirit that harms humans, I will immediately destroy it with my own hands.”

When Hwang Jiho said that, I felt a trembling from behind within the mountain spirit, which was in the midst of confusion.

‘If there is a mountain spirit that lures students into the new role, this is going to be annoying.’

He briefly recounted what had happened last night before the innocence of the mountain spirit perished.

My summary was:

I was taking a walk on Cheoniksan Mountain at night.

I found the Heavenly Water that emitted light.

When I raised my hand, suddenly a strange wave burst out from the heavenly water, and I passed out.

Hwang Jiho, who had been listening quietly, asked. “At the Temple of Heaven?”

“Yes.”

“Did the flow of power that we felt at night flow from the Heavenly Waters?”

“Anyway, it’s not the mountain spirit’s fault. When I touched the Temple of Heaven, the mountain spirit was gone.”

As if the mountain spirit agreed to my words, it jumped from behind. Hwang Jiho then spoke while looking at me with suspicious eyes.

“…A mountain spirit cannot exert that much power. I don’t know much about mountain spirits, but there is no way the power of Heaven and Earth can harm humans.”

“Yes. Don’t bother him too much.”

I didn’t know why, but Sanryung had helped me find a clue yesterday near the Temple of Heaven.

‘What is the relationship between the paranormal universe and the mountain spirit?’

The mountain spirit floated in the air and slowly began to circle around me as if the nobles had lost their energy. In many ways, it seemed to be full of grunge energy considering that it was the mountain spirit of Mt. Cheonik.

“Then why did you climb Mt. Cheonik at that time?”

It was quite difficult to answer this question. I remembered what Seong Guk-eon had asked me to do while investigating the ghost story.

—Using a faction or descendant… … No, it’s okay to borrow power, but don’t let them pay attention to this myth.

When it came to ghost stories, we would have to start an investigation into Hwang Jiho, even if Baekho was like that. This was a violation of the condition that Seong Guk-eon said.

“Just…” Hwang Jiho made a very displeased expression. “…The Heavenly Tree is also a divine tree that remains in our mythology. I will investigate it very thoroughly.”

I knew he was saying this, knowing fully well that I wouldn’t open my mouth.

“Not long after we found you lying down in front of the Temple of Heaven, Year 3 Class 0 students came. They seem to have installed a crude trap near the Temple of Heaven… I’ll have to look into these guys too.”

As I expected, it was not long before the seniors from Year 3 Class 0 came. However, as soon as the words ‘Year  3 Class 0’ came out, the mountain spirit started twitching and spinning rapidly.

‘I wonder if the 3rd-grade class 0 could foretell the energy of the universe…’

Wasn’t this mountain spirit, which seemed to have something to do with the super universe, joking around?

There were also all sorts of traps set up by these particular students, centering on the Temple of Heaven where there was a mountain spirit.

As I looked at the mountain spirit with reasonable and mounting suspicion, the mountain spirit suddenly looked out the window and smoked his tantrum.

“In addition to the investigation of Cheon Dong-su and Year 3 Class 0, we will monitor the mountain spirit for the time being.”

“You watch the mountain spirits?”

It seemed that Hwang Jiho had not yet lifted his doubts about the mountain spirit.

“Since the leylines are reviving at a fast pace, the mountain spirits will soon be fully equipped and able to communicate. Then I will need to hear the details.”

At this, the mountain spirit suddenly grabbed the hem of my robe. Although there was no substance, the halo did not physically touch it.

‘I think it’s an expression of intent to stop me because I don’t like it…’

If I had been more active here, I might have thought that I was really possessed by a mountain spirit. I then began thinking about what to do.

Okay…

The angel sleeping next to me woke up. In addition to this, my opinion was not wrong.

I had indeed come to heaven.

Cree… …!

Suddenly, a roar sounded, much like a beast was ready to attack its prey. The mountain spirit was startled, put the hem of her robe on my back, and ran to the corner of the infirmary.

‘What is this cry I just heard?’

Our cute Olma couldn’t have made a sound like this, so it must have been a mountain spirit or an auditory hallucination.

“Olma?”

King!

At this, Olma barked cutely and jumped into my arms. Apparently, what I just heard was hallucinations.

“Joe Eushin… Did you know that I just showed you the flow of thought based on your low intelligence?” Hwang Jiho said this with a tired expression, but it got better when he saw Olma snuggling into my arms.

I had been very worried about Olma while I fainted, which was probably why she was now acting all cute around me.

Ding dong.

At this point in time, a device message reception tone could be heard. Because I missed classes and extracurricular activities, my classmates and club members sent me messages.

The last thing that arrived was a message from Kim Yuri.

[Kim Yuri] Eushin! what happened? Where are you not sick?

[Kim Yuri] Jiho didn’t even show up today…

[Kim Yuri] …Are you going to keep going to school? ㅠ▽ㅠ?

Of course, my playable character would ask me to keep going to school. Messages kept popping up before I could even reply to the first batch.

[Kim Yuri] Is there going to be a study meeting today? Since the weekend starts tomorrow, I prepared a lot of snacks for us to run hard… >▽
