Academy Gumiho is a Magical Genius Episode 302

Magic Stone (2)

History is written by the victors.

Even if the loser is a virtuous person, the winner can fabricate it at will. Solomon’s 72 demons. Most of the demons in this group were born through such fabrication.

‘The representative example is ‘Baal’.’

His beginnings were certainly divine.

The faith that worshipped the god, Baal, was eventually defeated by other faiths.

As a result, Baal was reduced to a demon.

─What, that kind of thing was common in the countries I ruled and traveled to.

‘There are many cases in history where the indigenous beliefs of ethnic minorities were labeled as pagan and invaded under the pretext of conversion.’

Religion is faith.

Faith is life.

Forcing this will betray the beliefs you have kept your whole life and ruin your life. But that is true.

There’s no need to think deeply about it now.

‘Anyway, the fragments of ‘Baal’ came from Baek Seok-ho, and the largest piece was taken by Mine. This fact is the most important.’

─The citizens are furious at the idea of ​​mines threatening their safety. It’s a good method.

‘The mere existence of this magic stone will give me the justification to deal legally with the elders and their subordinate forces.’

But, you know.

After keeping the magic stone in my pocket for a long time, I started to feel something strange.

‘This time it happened even though it wasn’t touching my bare skin.’

I’ve experienced this feeling before.

A few days ago, when the magic stone fell out of Baek Seok-ho’s body.

As I picked up that small fragment, I felt a strange sense of omnipotence and weariness.

At the same time, I felt an insatiable appetite.

‘That’s not how I felt.’

The omnipotence that comes from feeling like everything in the world is yours.

A feeling of weariness that slowly eats away at my body because everything is mine.

A hunger that knows no end, even after eating enough.

All these things were not mine.

Rather than feeling that way because of the influence of the magic stone, it felt like the nature of the being deeply imprinted on the magic stone was being projected onto me.

It’s not because of Baek Seok-ho’s personality.

Baek Seok-ho’s greed and desire made him a diligent person.

It’s far from boring.

However, that does not mean that the gentleman is omnipotent.

Baek Seok-ho, who became a mine, was clearly strong, but he couldn’t properly land a single fatal hit on me, so I can’t call him omnipotent.

‘Unlike other magic stones, this one seems a bit special.’

Still, it wasn’t something to worry about too deeply.

After losing interest in the magic stone, I immediately focused on the meeting.

“So, my lord. What about the other elders……?”

The young man whose name I don’t know said.

Although he was originally a collateral head with no voice, he was hastily elected to fill the vacant position of the elders.

Still, he was qualified enough. He was someone who seemed to have a moderate amount of virtue, and he was even mentioned as a candidate for the originally vacant position of the 5th Elder.

“……I’m sorry. I need to think about something for a moment.”

“No, it’s okay.”

I recalled the subject of the mutated meeting.

I was fiddling with the magic stone in my pocket when I finally managed to get all the elders out of the conference room.

New elders were elected.

The problem is.

“My lord, I appreciate you giving me the position of the third elder, but how do you plan to fill the remaining eight positions?”

“…….”

“Except for the five elders who are currently vacant, the remaining eight elders have all been kicked out, and their followers have followed them out of the conference hall.”

“……There are certainly a lot of empty seats.”

“Because more than half of the dozens left.”

As the name suggests, Cheonho Baekga is a family of foxes that inherit the blood of the white-furred Cheonho. However, the representative word for foxes is gumiho.

Our ancestors took this into account and divided the collateral line into 81 heads. Although the elder is said to be the representative of the collateral line, he cannot perform the role of the collateral line head for reasons of fairness.

So, there should be a lot of people in the conference room.

“You really missed out on a lot.”

As if counting them one by one.

He answered, looking at where they were sitting.

Then the young man who was chosen by my hands as the new three elders spoke.

“Oh, I guess so? I’ll call everyone!”

The young man was trembling, which was not befitting his position as an elder.

‘Are you a timid person?’

Or maybe he feels burdened by his position as an elder?

I made some inferences.

The truth was simple: the pressure that had been exerted on the elders in a narrow area was still there.

The new young elder who entered the area was startled and flustered by the pressure he had never experienced before.

The elders I personally elected furrowed my brows slightly at the disgrace, but what mattered most were their abilities and loyalty, not their character.

I liked his way of speaking, so I accepted what he said.

“Okay.”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“The remaining eight elders will be chosen from among the forty-five present.”

“!!!!”

Of the 81 people, only 45 remained in the conference room.

More than thirty people followed the elders out, but in terms of numbers, there were enough to fill eight places among the remaining people.

But that’s the case.

“Those who followed the elders out. Most of them are strong candidates for the next elders.”

Originally today.

The reason the heads of the collateral branches gathered together on the golden weekend was to fill the vacant position of the fifth elder.

Naturally, the person mentioned as a candidate for the 5th elder is.

There were many others besides the new young elder in front of me.

And all of them, except the young man in front of them, followed the elders.

“……okay.”

“They are people who hold a significant position within the family. If we reject them along with the elders, it will be a big problem……!”

“They are such annoying guys.”

“yes?”

Those annoying guys?

What are you talking about?

If there are no collateral heads outside right now, wouldn’t it be strange for the family to split into two?

The new elder doubted his ears.

“But it’s fortunate that so many remain. With this number, there should be more than enough to elect elders. Don’t you think so?”

“……ah.”

But what’s wrong isn’t your ears.

I realized that this is the world.

‘… … I’m screwed.’

The new elder had a gut feeling.

Why was the sweet title of elder bestowed upon someone so young and helpless?

‘It’s going to be hellish work from now on.’

The future is bright.

* * *

He filled six of the nine elder positions in the family.

3 elders, 4 elders, 6 elders, 7 elders, 8 elders, 9 elders.

The rest were still vacant.

This is because the remaining three positions needed to be chosen a little more carefully. The first elder is a position that can be seen as the representative of the elders, and the second elder is a position that assists the first elder.

As the position of the 5th Elder was in charge of the family’s military power for generations, it was necessary to select someone with solid military power.

“I think it would be good to put Baek Eun-ho in the position of the 2nd or 5th elder, and suggest one of the elders to one of the ones who were on the side of the existing elders.”

I was left alone in the conference room, muttering to myself.

My head was so complicated that I had to organize my thoughts by verbalizing all kinds of ideas.

“……No matter how much I exclude the existing elders and elect new elders, it won’t be easy for their status to fall all at once. In that case, the best thing to do would be to cause discord and internal conflict.”

What might be better?

How can I benefit from this?

The cards I have. I checked the best number by comparing the cards that are certain but weak in effect and the cards that are uncertain but strong in effect.

“We’re a little short on personnel.”

Best option.

As I was considering the second best option and the third option that was somewhat usable, it suddenly occurred to me that I didn’t have enough people on my side.

Military power is sufficient, and if you can instigate discord and internal divisions among the opposing forces, there will be no problem with power. The justification is clear, and you have accumulated enough money, but the final key is power.

‘The elders who were close to the president and held all the real power.’

Between the two groups.

It was quite obvious who the family’s servants and business owners would choose based on practicality.

What is needed to overcome this is power.

Of course, the new elders were favored by the family’s power.

‘In fact, the head of the household may have the authority to elect elders, but he does not have the authority to dismiss them at will.’

To begin with, the position of elder itself is not only that of an assistant to the head of the household.

It was a position created to keep the family in check.

They are people under me, but they are not beings I can do whatever I want with. Of course, that was before they crossed the line.

‘Because they crossed the line first.’

The elders who once coveted the power of the family are nothing more than corrupt officials.

There may have been some loyalists among the elders, but most of their actions were close to treason.

Everything should just be thrown into the trash can.

“To do that, I’ll need to involve my sister.”

After a long period of reflection, I left the conference room.

It was quiet outside the conference room, as if everyone had left the building.

“……Those damn bastards.”

Even though I came out late, it was like that.

There’s no one waiting until the owner comes out.

“Furthermore, even if it weren’t for the others, the new elders who I gave the shield to should have stayed until the end.”

This won’t work, we need to establish some discipline.

The moment I thought about giving her a proper scolding.

Again, again, again.

I heard the sound of shoes.

It was a familiar sound of footsteps.

“Oh, isn’t this our sister?”

“…….”

A sister whose face I barely know.

To be exact, she is the eldest sister. She is Baek Seung-woo’s older sister.

“It’s really nice to meet you.”

“…….”

No, actually I knew a lot.

Minor anecdotes written in a diary.

Memories of her that remain in my head.

Although it wasn’t mine at all, it was Baek Seung-woo’s, so I had his heart and I slowly looked her over with a greeting.

“Your complexion has improved a lot compared to before.”

“……What do you want me to do?”

“It looks like you’ve been fed healthy food since becoming a candidate for the House of Representatives. It’s good to see you’re healthy.”

“……Stop being a jerk and get out.”

The way you talk to me is rude.

I hate it, but I know.

The person who took care of Baek Seung-woo as much as his parents since he was little, and who would be sadder than anyone else in the world if Baek Seung-woo were to die in the future.

“Don’t say that. Since it’s been so long since we last saw each other, how about we have a meal together?”

“…….”

“I don’t remember having a family meal this year at least.”

“……742 days.”

“What is that?”

“……The last day you and I had a meal.”

Uh… … I think my memory is better than I thought.

As expected, she was a woman who had no talent for fighting, but had all her talents focused on politics, management, and agitation. If it was such talent.

‘You can trust me and leave it to me.’

She didn’t respond much to my suggestion to eat.

It seemed like he wasn’t very interested.

When there is no interest, you have to put out a bait product.

I mentioned what she wanted most, like a wholesaler who hides away valuable items and then releases them.

“The left side of the house.”

“……Why is that?”

“I’ll give that to my sister.”

“……?”

For a moment, her eyes widened.
