Episode 68: An angel who realizes his past life (7)
The referee raised his head and looked at Eastern Academy Dean James Tardon.
He took off the sunglasses he always wore, and if it weren’t for his glowing red eyes, he would have looked like an ordinary old gentleman.
“Dean, the reason I asked you to come to the mansion… “It wasn’t a test, right?”
The referee opened his mouth.
He escaped this test and was heading out. But when I came to my senses, I found myself inside a mansion?
‘Summoning the chosen one to the mansion… Some kind of witchcraft?’
The referee had no choice but to make this decision.
“It’s a test.”
“How can this be called a test when the people who will be selected have already been selected?”
James laughed.
“The announcement of test results is also an extension of the test, right? “You can’t say it’s not a test.”
punning.
The referee looked at James suspiciously.
‘I should have failed the test. I don’t know what kind of magic the past life awakening is, but… If I awaken from my past life, James will find out that I’m an angel!’
Shaman King James, humanity’s greatest shaman and America’s strongest hero.
and Dean of the Eastern Academy.
‘And there is one more fact that only I who know the future knows… ‘The fact that James the Sorcerer King hates Heaven and its apostles, the angels.’
The boy remembered clearly.
The not too distant future.
Shaman King James destroys the church’s temple in anger. The image of him spitting out his hatred by pointing a point at the sky.
And the sight of the stone statue of an angel being completely shattered.
Those eyes were full of hatred and madness.
‘I was really scared.’
What would happen if such a being found out that he was an angel? No matter how much I thought about it, I didn’t think there would be such a good future.
Probably like the angel statue that future James broke… It was something that could have torn the referee to pieces.
‘But why does James hate Heaven?’
The referee thought about it.
Why does James hate Heaven?
What bad things has Heaven done so far?
‘… When I think about it, there are too many.’
The first bad thing that Heaven did was to tolerate the evil forces called religious denominations.
What has the denomination done so far?
Heresy judgment? witch hunt?
It was all an act that made people hate the church and Heaven.
‘As a witch doctor, were you subjected to a witch hunt?’
But it seems unlikely. Even if it were an otherworldly cult, would it have bared its teeth at the Shaman King? And I don’t think the Shaman King would have accepted the witch hunt without hesitation.
Then, the second bad thing Heaven did was not to correct the contradictions that abounded on earth.
Huge guilds that engage in abuse of power, huge capitals that dance on irrationality.
Lastly, the gangsters who harassed my mother.
This one thing was certain.
The fact that this world is closer to hell than heaven.
‘There are so many bad guys in this world… ‘What are the angels doing?’
To be honest, the referee was also an angel.
I was really curious.
What on earth are the other angels doing?
The third thing Heaven did wrong was not subduing the rampaging demon lord.
In fact, many heroes hated Heaven for this fact alone. The devil is sweeping everything away with the intention of destroying this world.
What on earth does heaven do?
‘For what reason does James hate Heaven?’
With the referee’s shallow knowledge, he couldn’t figure out why James hated Heaven.
So I decided to ask confidently.
“Dean.”
“… … ?”
“Didn’t you say that you don’t plan to select users of divine power?”
James nodded.
“That was my original intention.”
“But I’m a user of divine power?”
“The plan has changed a bit.”
And shouldn’t you just keep your mouth shut?
The referee who saw this took a small sigh and then asked a question that only he who knows future knowledge could ask.
“Dean James.”
“yes?”
“Why do you hate Heaven?”
James laughed first. And after a while he made a straight face. He tried to go back to his smirking attitude, but… James took a step back with his lips curled.
“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. Also, you said you wouldn’t select users of divine power… “From the beginning, you showed strange caution towards me and the members of the church.”
“… Haha, I noticed that subtle boundary.”
Of course, the referee didn’t notice.
Since I knew that James hated Heaven, I figured he would hate or at least be wary of the church and users of divine power.
Using that judgment, I looked at James upside down.
“Your guess was right. is it so. “I hate heaven.”
James stroked his chin without saying anything,
I let out a long sigh.
“ha… “Do you mind if I tell you this?”
James gestured.
“Let’s take a walk first.”
So the referee and James headed deep into the mansion side by side.
“As an educator, it is my duty to answer students’ questions.”
James continued speaking.
“The student’s first question is that there are no plans to select users of divine power… 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… “I guess we can condense it into one.”
“Do you do it?”
The referee tilted his head.
What kind of answer is it that can answer those two questions at once?
“Student, do you know an angel named Luciel?”
“… “I’ve never heard of it.”
“Luciel, Luciel, the light of dawn. The leader and most powerful angel of all angels. “The eldest son of heaven and the most supreme being.”
Luciel? Head of angels?
If you are the head of the angels, the referee must have heard your name… The referee had never heard a name like this before.
“That angel shone the brightest, flew the highest, was the most beautiful, and was the bravest.”
James continued.
“No creature could be a match for Luciel.”
“… There was such a powerful angel. “This is my first time hearing this.”
“It has to be that way.”
James and the referee soon arrived at the end of the hallway.
James opened the door without saying a word.
Beyond the door, there was a huge picture hanging.
The referee got goosebumps when he saw the picture.
A heaven engulfed in civil war, and an angel falling in flames.
James looked at the picture hanging in the room without saying anything.
Then he quietly opened his mouth.
“Do you know anything about the Demon King?”
“Yes, he is the king of monsters, right? “He is also a bad guy who continues to create cracks and invade our world.”
“Then have you ever heard the name of the Demon King?”
James asked again.
The referee could only shake his head.
“The current Demon King’s name is Lucifer. And the long-ago name was Luciel.”
“… yes? “Then the identity of the devil is right.”
“It means he is a fallen angel. Damn, damn angels.”
The referee looked at the picture again.
The falling angel’s appearance somehow resembled that of the referee.
“This is the answer to my question.”
“Fallen angel.”
“Why aren’t you trying to select users of divine power? This is because users of divine power are corrupted more easily than anyone else. Saint Rebecca lost her faith and so have I. And even Luciel, the strongest user of divine power, has been corrupted for a long time.”
James continued speaking quickly.
“Why do you hate heaven? Isn’t it obvious? They created Lucifer and they created the monster. Why do we hate them? Because the angels in heaven are the enemies of our humanity!”
James suddenly grabbed the referee’s shoulder.
James cleared his throat slightly and then looked at the referee.
“Student, please excuse me.”
“… “Dean.”
The referee was dizzy from the shocking story.
‘The devil’s identity was actually a fallen angel? And he was the most powerful angel?
No, this wasn’t important right now.
The referee opened his mouth with determination.
“You don’t trust divine power users like that… Hating heaven… “Why did you select me as an awakened past life?”
“… that.”
James bowed his head.
“I don’t know about that.”
In James’ red eyes, there were tears that even he couldn’t explain.
And it was James who slowly approached the referee.
“I do not know either. Even in this situation… “Do I still want to believe in something?”
“Huh, Dean?”
“That there is a light that does not corrupt… … .”
And then James naturally caught the referee.
“I know that the student is afraid of awakening from his past life. “Did you try to escape earlier?”
“… “Oh, I got caught.”
“Why?”
The referee hastily made an excuse.
“My past life was insignificant! For me, using Past Life Awakening is a waste of resources!”
“Haha, it was because of that problem. It doesn’t matter. Then I just misread the student’s soul… “The student is not responsible for anything.”
James, whose eyes have already rolled back,
The referee was desperate and tried to resist.
It was impossible to overcome the brute force of the Shaman King.
“Let go, let go!”
“student. Don’t be too scared. It is not a painful procedure. “You can just think of it as something similar to hypnotherapy.”
“I really can’t!”
The referee is dragged to the center of the main battle line.
The referee bit his lip.
‘Actually, actually… ‘I didn’t avoid awakening to my past life because I was afraid of being found out that I was an angel by James, who hates angels.’
Finding out that James is an angel?
Although it was fatal, it did not mean death immediately.
Regardless of his true intentions, Referee was fighting for humanity, and James was a hero who could put aside his hatred for humanity.
‘Just like Jin-ho Park gave up on Hexie… James also gave an angel like me to live for the sake of humanity. Probably taken to the lab… He will be broken like the angel who created the artificial hero… … .’
The referee trembled.
But there was something more frightening than that.
‘but… … .’
The referee bit his lip once again.
‘I checked it during Drew Mark. In my past life, I was a powerful angel called ‘Lepriel.’
Lepriel, the one who judges this world.
‘Repriel is out of control. Besides, the kid is just a machine. A machine that seeks to judge this fallen world.’
If Lepriel wakes up, James will be killed just like Drew Mark was… Also, the entire Central Superhuman Academy is destroyed by Lepriel’s extreme technique.
Everything will disappear.
Your friends… Marie, who was staring at herself with an expressionless expression… Wol-i was blocking the monitor by wagging her tail… Soya used to cover her face with the brim of her hat when she was embarrassed.
Tears welled up in the referee’s eyes.
Even if, as an angel, I am sold to a superhuman family.
Even if you are used as a test subject and people resent you.
Even if you can no longer dream of a happy future.
But as an angel, there was work to be done.
“Dean… “I really don’t need past life awakening.”
“yes? “What is that?”
“I already know what my past life was.”
The referee took off his top.
And as an angel, he openly revealed his power.
A power closer to divinity than divine power flowed from the boy’s body… The boy’s blonde hair began to flutter little by little in response to the force.
“Have you ever heard of Lepriel?”
The boy was crying.
