The perfect exorcist ability was sothing that covered the user's weaknesses.
That was what the current Saint, soone recognized by everyone as the strongest Exorcist, had said in the manga.
Thinking about it that way. I tried to look at my strengths and weaknesses. My biggest strength was information about the future and knowing other peoples Special Abilities.
My weaknesses were that I lacked fighting experience, and I probably lacked guts. The latter Im just assuming since I had never fought against demons. While it was a Manga, everything was cool to read and see. But if I saw a demon with six arms, eight legs, its skin peeling off and eating its own organs. Yeah, lets just say I doubted anyone who grew up in a modern lifestyle would be able to keep calm during their first couple of tis seeing sothing like that.
So I needed an ability that would cover all that. The plan was to ta a demonic beast, or even a normal animal, and have them evolve.
Evolution was sothing that most people in this world didn't know could happen to demons who were tad. Theoretically, it was possible, but not sothing that had been studied or done until much later.
In the future, there was sowhat of a side story where a normal cat is tad by a Beast Master. Then he imbues the cat with all of his Ord energy and the cat evolves into a Nekoshu, a cat spirit that can turn into a catgirl. Since they knew each other for so long, their relationship was more steady. Unlike taming a demon who you would have to fight first.
In general Beast Masters weren't seen as the best affinity. I believe until forty years ago it was seen as the weakest affinity. There were so exceptional Beast Masters. But exceptions to the rule don't beco the norm. So most Beast Masters serve in a support role.
Taming a beast will co later. Right now the plan was for to create an Exorcist Ability that would cover my weaknesses.
Reading up on human anatomy, and learning so of the basics would act as the foundation of the technique I had in mind. I didn't need to learn enough to beco a doctor or anything like that, just the basic workings of the human body and then start the technique creation. I was working with magical energy, there wasnt a need for much logic or knowledge.
My hesitation and inexperience were sothing I planned to delete temporarily. Obviously, I would have to learn how to fight demons without hesitation or needing a crutch. But the reality of the situation was that I couldnt do that under a short ti limit with no demons in sight.
Most exorcists die in their first demon encounter. So I had to look at this in a realistic manner.
Its quite rare to see a first-year student already in the library, a young woman with similar round glasses, ca and sat down next to .
She must be a senior. As soon as my mind registered that, and thought of the danger I had to face. The plan changed. I needed a better tiline of events. She could be the perfect information provider for that Yes, Im preparing for the training camp.
Oh, right. I rember when I was your age. Those were probably the worst two days of my life. The teachers try to make you fight so low-ranked demons, who look absolutely terrifying. Just so they can get you used to fight terrifying monsters. Also, they will try to put traps in the forest. It was a nightmare! She huffed and walked off all of a sudden.
Whats all that about? She probably had a horrible experience, but I haven't gotten the information I wanted. I couldn't let her go yet.
Putting the anatomy book in my bag, I chased after her. Thats what I heard too. Its one of the main reasons why Im trying to develop my special ability.
I would suggest against that, theres no way you can develop an ability by the end of the week. Even if you do, it will be sloppy as hell. Exorcist Abilities need a lot of thought behind them, and when that thought is backed up by effort it can create sothing truly special. Even in my third year in the academy, I still havent fully fleshed out my ability yet and am adding new things to it
Despite her nerdy appearance, with glasses and all. She was quite the chatterbox. Even going as far as roughly hinting at what her Exorcist Ability was, which had sothing to do with creating a card and then storing sothing in it.
But despite her doing sothing which was against the unspoken rules of common sense amongst exorcists.
Once my mind registered what she had said, my body froze in place.
One week. No, it was already Tuesday. So it was this weekend and not the next weekend. Three days left until that disaster cos to fruition.
Scenes of slaughtered classmates appeared in front of my eyes, as I passed to the next page of the Manga. I felt like throwing up, and my heart shook.
But as soon as I realized the danger, the Ord inside of bubbled up. Taking a deep breath, I cald down and waved at the senior. "Welp, I better go back to studying. Thanks for your help."
My Ability, I must manifest it and put so risk and rules on it! Which would allow the ability to manifest.
Despite people making their ability, they can't force such things as their own internal energy will react to their will and thoughts. Slowly manifesting an ability with rules of its own.
At least that's how it was described in the Manga. But Agon's special ability was essentially just punching hard, so his wasn't sothing hard to recreate.

Bets was a man with simple wishes and desires. Ever since he could rember, his big body intimidated everyone. He never trained a day in his life, yet at the sa ti he never t soone who was stronger than him.
So people in the village used to say that a demon was living inside his body. There was even a ti when an Exorcist was called. But there were no traces of demons on him. He was just born a natural freak.
Since the exorcist, the people in the village had changed their views and instead hailed him as having the body which was a gift from God. But he saw it as a curse. He didn't want to be so muscular, having so many muscles was annoying, and he was always hungry. Also, his fingers are so thick that it's hard to turn the pages when he's reading.
At least he had made a friend since coming to the exorcist academy. Soone who doesn't care about his appearance. It had been only a week since he ca here, and during that week Bets had never been happier in his life. Though showing emotions on his face had been kind of hard.
It was Friday after classes and both of them were at the empty cafeteria tables, playing chess. While moving one of the pawns, one of Bets' thick fingers accidentally knocked one of the pieces. Like a domino effect, so of the other pieces around it were knocked down. "Ah, sorry. I will pick them up!"
"Nah, don't worry about it," Kon waved it off as he went and picked up the pieces and put them back in their proper places. "Still, your face is as intimidating as always. You have the ferocious aura of a bear."
When others usually said this, Bets would have felt hurt. But for so reason, when Kon said it, it felt more like banter. Was this how having a friend felt?
"By the way, be careful and never wander in the southern jungles. Because if you stumble on an Amazonian woman, they will organize their whole army to chase after you. They like strong n." Kon chuckled, twirling a bishop piece in his hand.
His new friend was weird as hell. Even Bets who thought of himself as a good judge of character didn't know what to think of Kon.
The best strategy to read soone is to look at their actions, and not what they say. People can lie about what they want, but their actions don't lie.
Still, Kon's actions were very contradictory to his intentions. Whether this was intentional or not, Bets didn't know. During the entrance ceremony, Kon was picking a fight with the untalented person in their class Agon. But when Agon was at their lowest point, he never even attempted to bully him.
Kon was the kind of person who was hard to understand. But Bets didnt care about the small things. As he was the only person in his life who had looked past his appearance and decided to beco friends with him. By the way. What do you think about the training camp the teachers are planning? Do you think it will be another kind of test?
He said that just as Kon was about to move one of his pawns. Kon stopped for a split second. Which was strange, as he never stopped when he was making a move. He was the kind of player who always made the move after thinking it in his head, and not an active player who tested the board.
I dont know what to think about it. But Ive made all the preparations I could. Also, Im going to lose this chess ga. It didnt take you long at all to catch up to .
There was another thing about Kon, he was the first chess player to have ever defeated Bets. Even in his first ga ever when he was a kid, Bets never lost. Whatever, its not like my life depends on chess.
By now everyone had already awakened their Ord and could control it a bit. Well, there was one classmate who hadnt awakened their Ord yet. Agon, the guy with purple streaks of hair. He was quite untalented.
At least he has hair. Bets touched his bald head. Then he got a nasty idea, and reflected the light on his shiny bald head, causing it to hit Kons eyes.
Ow! Cut that off! Its cheating!
This is my secret chess attack! Bets couldnt help but smile. These were truly the best days of his life. He wished they could last forever.
