48 You keep getting into trouble (1/2)

After Seo Tae Il is gone, the room has been deadly quiet. Teacher Bae is quietly drinking the tea. Teacher Choi keeps sighing whenever he notices her smiling eyes. She is waiting.

Oh Soon Ri looks at the door. ”She is better now.”

”Her aura is stronger.” Teacher Bae puts down the empty cup. ”You brought a person with R grade gifts to the academy, but you registered her as an A grade esper. Teacher Choi, can you explain now?”

”It wasn't confirmed before we officially registered her.” He shifts his gaze. ”Now, I will correct it.”

”You are lying.” Teacher Bae smiles wider. ”You wanted to monitor her secretly. Is there something that you want to hide from the council?”

He meets her eyes. ”What if I do?”

”I will help you then.”

Oh Soon Ri and Choi Min Ho look at the peculiar teacher. Teacher Bae is unpredictable. She reminds him of the oracle demon. But, she isn't an idiot like an oracle demon. She is shielding her mind from him. He can't hear a thing. He has no interest in forcing into someone's mind.

”What do you want, Teacher Bae?”

”I don't want to know your secrets, Teacher Choi. In reality, I admire you a lot. If you have something to hide, I am sure that you have a good reason. You care about the girl too much to hurt her.” She scratches her chin. ”But...but...but... I want to keep that boy as my student. You might not have realized it, but that boy has good veins for the spiritual cultivation. It's one of the many reasons why I saved him from getting lost or eaten in the forest. I want some of your treasures to open his veins. I want you to convince him to join the academy.”

”I have a feeling that he will stay.” Oh Soon Ri smiles. ”His destiny is deeply tangled with Min Ho and Ji Won. Even you, Teacher Bae, has a significant role to play in their lives.”

”Teacher Oh, I feel like you are giving me spoilers of my future life.” She chuckles. ”Your predictions are always right.”

”If you want a student, there is no lack of young children with good spiritual veins.” Choi Min Ho raises his brow. ”Why do you want him?”

”I like his face,” She tells him seriously. ”He is eye candy. I have seen him some dramas. Do you know that his title is 'romance prince'?”

Choi Min Ho doesn't know how to react. She is a teacher, right? What kind of reasons are those?

”He is already involved, Teacher Choi.” She leans back on the couch. ”Will you wipe his memories? That won't work. If it was supposed to work, he wouldn't be here after his memories were manipulated by an immortal. If you wipe his memories or manipulate them again or compel him never look for the girl, he will remember again or follow his strong intuition and persistent heart. That boy has a natural talent. His heart is clean and right to become a vessel for the heavenly energy. I see the talent. I want to sharpen him. If he turns out well, I can show off to my brother. He is better looking than my brother. If he comes here, he will be more popular than him.”

So, it's about her brother again. Bae Seul-Ki's younger brother is the heavenly genius of the current time. He is currently the top-ranked exorcist in the country. He is four years younger than her, but he is ahead of her in everything. This sibling rivalry is quite famous and petty.

He must be about Seo Tae Il's age.

So, she wants to create someone who can rival her brother. Seo Tae Il...does he have that level of talent? Choi Min Ho doesn't underestimate the boy. He has been able to do what he couldn't do. To Nam Ji Won, Seo Tae Il is an anchor that can keep her from falling.

”I can't promise it.” Even if Seo Tae Il has it, would he leave everything behind to begin a new life? He doesn't believe in destiny like Oh Soon Ri. ”He is a celebrity. It will attract attention to the academy.”

”What are you people talking about?” Nam Ji Won opens the door. Seo Tae Il is standing behind her with a puzzled look.
