An Angel Lives in the Academy

Episode 68: The Angel Who Realized the Past Life (7)

The referee raised his head and looked at James Tarden, president of the Eastern Academy.

Taking off the sunglasses he always wore, he would have looked like an ordinary old gentleman if it weren’t for his bright red eyes.

“Dean, the one who told me to come to the mansion… Wasn’t it a test?”

The referee opened his mouth.

He escaped this test and headed out. But when I woke up, it was in the mansion?

‘Summoning the chosen one to the mansion… Some kind of magic?’

The referee had no choice but to judge.

“It’s a test.”

“How do you say this is a test after you have already selected those who will be selected?”

James laughed.

“Announcement of test results is also an extension of the test, right? It cannot be said that it is not a test.”

punning.

The referee looked at James suspiciously.

‘I should have failed the exam. I don’t know what kind of magic the previous life awakening is… If I wake up in a previous life, James will find out that I am an angel!’

King of Shaman James, the greatest shaman of mankind and the strongest hero in America.

and the dean of the Eastern Academy.

‘And there’s one more thing that only I know of the future… The fact that the Shaman King James hates the heavens and the angels who are their apostles.’

The boy remembered clearly.

the not-so-distant future.

The Shaman King James destroys the Temple of the Cha Church in anger. He pointed at the sky and spit out his hatred.

And the appearance of completely shattering the statue of an angel.

His eyes were full of hatred and madness.

‘I was really scared.’

What will happen if such a being finds out that you are an angel? No matter how I thought about it, it didn’t seem like a very good future.

Probably like the statue of an angel that James in the future broke… It might have shattered the referee.

‘But why does James hate Heaven?’

The referee thought.

Why does James hate Heaven?

What bad things has Heaven done so far?

‘… Thinking about it, there are too many.’

The first bad thing that Heaven did was to condone the evil forces called the Church.

What has the church done so far?

heresy judgment? witch hunt?

It was an act that made everyone hate the Church and Heaven.

‘Have you been witch-hunted as a shaman?’

But I don’t think so. Even if it was a different world cult, I would have put my teeth on the Shaman King. And I don’t think the Shaman King would have meekly been hunted down by witches.

Then, the second bad thing that heaven did, was not correcting the contradictions overflowing on earth.

A gigantic guild that engages in power abuse, gigantic capitals dancing on the absurd.

Finally, even the thugs who tormented my mother.

This one thing was certain.

The fact that this world is closer to hell than heaven.

‘How many bad guys are there in this world… What are the angels doing?’

To be honest, the referee was also an angel.

I was really curious.

What the hell are the other angels doing?

The third thing that Heaven has done wrong is not to subdue the raging demon king.

In fact, many heroes hated Heaven for this fact alone. The Demon King is sweeping away everything with the momentum to destroy this world.

What the hell is heaven doing?

‘Why does James hate Heaven?’

With the referee’s shallow knowledge, he could not understand why James hated Heaven.

So I decided to honestly ask.

“Director.”

“… … ?”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t plan to select users of Holy Power?”

James nodded his head.

“I originally thought so.”

“By the way, am I a divine power user?”

“The plans have changed a bit.”

And why not keep your mouth shut?

Seeing this, the referee sighed a little, and then asked a question that only he who knew future knowledge could ask.

“Director James.”

“yes?”

“Why do you hate heaven?”

James laughed for a moment. And after a while, it was colored. I tried to get back to my smirk again, but… James took a step back, his lips wrinkled.

“Student, have you read my soul? My soul as a high-ranking shaman?”

James asked the referee in a wary manner.

The referee shook his head.

“It’s just a feeling. The same goes for the fact that you said that you would not select a divine power user… In the first place, you showed a strange boundary to me and the people of the church.”

“… Haha, I noticed that subtle boundary.”

Of course, the referee didn’t notice.

Just knowing that James hates Heaven, I decided that he would hate or at least be wary of the Order and the Holy Power user.

Using that judgment, he was thinking of James backwards.

“Your guess was right. Yes. I hate heaven.”

James stroked his chin without saying a word,

let out a long sigh.

“ha… May I tell you this?”

James motioned.

“Let’s go for a walk.”

So the referee and James headed to the depths of the mansion side by side.

“It is my duty as an educator to answer students’ questions.”

James continued.

“The student’s first question is that they don’t plan to select divine power users… The student’s second question, why do you hate heaven?”

James opened his mouth with a bitter expression.

“The answer to these two questions is… It can be summed up into one.”

“Do you?”

The referee tilted his head.

What the hell kind of answer is it that you can answer those two questions at once?

“Student, do you know an angel named Luciel?”

“… I’ve never heard of it.”

“Luciel, the light of dawn, Luciel. The head of all angels and the most powerful angel. The eldest son of heaven and the most supreme being.”

Luciel? Chief of angels?

If it’s the head of the angels, the referee must have heard the name… The referee had never heard of such a name.

“The angel shone the brightest and flew the highest, the most beautiful and the most valiant.”

James continued.

“No creature has ever been a match for Luciel.”

“… There was such a powerful angel. It’s the first I’ve heard of it.”

“It has to be.”

James and the referee arrived at the end of the hallway.

James opened the door without saying a word.

Behind the door, hung a huge painting.

The referee got goosebumps when he saw the picture.

A heaven engulfed in civil war, and an angel falling on fire.

James looked at the painting hanging in the room without saying a word.

Then he quietly opened his mouth.

“Do you know anything about the Demon King?”

“Yes, you are the king of monsters, right? He’s also a bad guy who keeps invading our world by creating rifts.”

“Then, have you ever heard the name of the Demon King?”

James asked again.

The referee had no choice but to shake his head.

“The current demon king’s name is Lucifer. And a long time ago, my name was Luciel.”

“… Yeah? Then the true identity of the Demon King is.”

“It’s a fallen angel. Damn, damn angels.”

The referee looked at the picture again.

The figure of the falling angel was somewhat similar to that of the referee.

“This is the answer to my question.”

“A fallen angel.”

“Why don’t you try to select holy power users? Because Holy Power users fall more easily than anyone else. Saint Rebecca lost her faith, and so did I. And even Luciel, the strongest user of divine power, has been corrupted for a long time.”

James spoke quickly.

“Why do you hate heaven? Isn’t that obvious? They created lucifer and they created monsters. Why do we hate them? The angels of heaven are the enemies of our humanity!”

James grabbed the referee’s shoulder.

James coughed a little, then looked at the referee.

“Student, excuse me.”

“… Dean.”

The referee was dizzy at the shocking story.

‘Did the demon king really be a fallen angel? And the most powerful angel?’

From readwn.com

No, it didn’t matter now.

The referee opened his mouth with a decision.

“You don’t believe in divine power users like that… Hate heaven… Why did you choose me as an Awakened in a previous life?”

“… that.”

James bowed his head.

“I don’t know about that either.”

James’ red eyes were filled with tears that he couldn’t even explain.

And it was James who sneakily approached the referee.

“I do not know either. Hopefully in this situation… Do I still want to believe in something?”

“Hak, dean?”

“That there is a light that does not decay… … .”

Then James naturally grabbed the referee.

“I know that students are afraid of awakening from a previous life. Did you try to escape earlier?”

“… Oh, you got it.”

“Why?”

The referee hurriedly spat out an excuse.

“My previous life is not worth it! Using previous life awakening on me is a waste of resources!”

“Haha, that was the problem. It doesn’t matter. Then I just got the student’s soul wrong… The student is not responsible for anything.”

James, who has already turned his eyes,

The referee tried to resist, being naive.

He couldn’t defeat the shaman king’s strength.

“Let it go, let it go!”

“student. Don’t be too scared. It is not a painful procedure. Just think of it as something like hypnosis.”

“I really can’t!”

The referee is dragged into the middle of the magic circle.

The referee bit his lip.

‘Actually, in fact… James, who hates angels, didn’t avoid awakening in his previous life because he was afraid to find out that he was an angel.’

To find out that James is an angel?

It was fatal, but it was not an immediate death.

Regardless of his true intentions, the referee was fighting for mankind, and James was a hero who could end his hatred for mankind.

‘Like Park Jin-ho gave up on Hexi… James must have given me to save an angel for mankind. I’ll probably be taken to the lab… It will break like the angel who created the artificial hero, but… … .’

The referee trembled.

But there was something more terrifying than that.

‘However… … .’

The referee bit his lip once more.

‘I checked it at Drew Mark. That my previous life was a powerful angel named ‘Lefriel’.’

Lepriel, the one who judges the world.

‘Lefriel is out of control. Besides, he’s just a machine. A machine to judge this fallen world.’

If Lepriel wakes up, James will be slaughtered just like Drewmark did… Also, the entire Central Superman Academy was destroyed by Lepriel’s dramatic technique.

Everything will perish.

their friends… Marie, who was staring at her with an expressionless expression… Wally, who was wagging his tail and covering the monitor… Soya used to cover her face with the brim of her hat when she was shy.

Tears welled up in the referee’s eyes.

Even if I am sold to the superintelligence family as an angel.

Even if used as a test subject and resented by people.

Even if you can no longer dream of a happy future.

But as an angel, I had work to do.

“Dean… I really do not need the awakening of a previous life.”

“yes? What is that?”

“I already know what my previous life was.”

The referee took off his top.

And as an angel, he revealed his power without hiding.

From the boy’s body, a power closer to divine than divine power flowed out… The boy’s blonde hair began to sway little by little in accordance with the power.

“Have you ever heard of Lepriel?”

The boy was crying.
