Experienced Exorcist (part 1)

2.3 - Experienced Exorcist

-----

‎

To sum up everything that happened this week.

Back on Monday after school, Nico and I discussed the plans to give back the girls of class A what they deserved. We talked about it alongside Nico's friends, Jeremy, Link, and Randy, since they will be helping Nico with his part of the plan.

Tuesday after school, each of us began our own preparations. Nico and his three friends went to a minimarket near our school to buy a lot of ketchup and mustard. Their plan involves spilling those ketchup and mustard inside the bags belonging to the girls who wronged me, messing up basically everything inside their bags.

It may sound cruel, sure. But, considering what happened to me last Friday, I say they deserved it. Just to keep me away from Alica confessing, they were willing to go as far as throwing scissors to my face. Obviously, I couldn't accept that, let alone Nico.

As for me, I went to Uncle Deve's to talk with Aunt Linda.

This wasn't the first time Aunt Linda helped me with school stuff. Once in junior high, I asked her for a favor to come with me to school and help me cheat on my exams, and she helped flawlessly. I got a perfect score on those tests, but then I got questioned a whole lot afterwards by other students. I ended up never asking her again to help me with tests.

But now, another chance has arisen. I talked with her about my intention to give back what I received, and she was quite angry when she saw the wound on my forehead. When she noticed how much worse it could've gotten had it landed on my eyes, she completely lost it. As such, she agreed to help me scare the bullies once and for all.

Aunt Linda lets go of the connection she made with Uncle Deve and sticks her soul into mine. As a result, she will now go everywhere I go, and she will always be next to me.

Obviously, Uncle Deve was very disappointed for being left alone by his wife, but it was only for a day. Plus, I was the one who helped them communicate for the first time many years ago, so I deserved to receive a little favor from them. They think of me like a family since they've known me for years, so I don't have to be so awkward with my requests towards them.

I came home with Aunt Linda sticking to me. I bought the puppet through an online shop using same day delivery, and it arrived during the evening. Aunt Linda and I talked about the plan, how she will use the puppet to scare the girls and how she can increase the scary level even further.

And finally, the day of the execution.

I didn't even have to do anything. All I did was simply watch as the whole thing unfolds from under the washing stand, and Aunt Linda was the one who did everything. The girls were successfully frightened, and she even got the girl who threw the scissors at me to piss her pants.

I say the scaring plan was a success.

Of course, I will have to deal with the after causes of such actions. From all the girls who I scared, there will be a few who reported those actions to the teachers, and I definitely have prepared my own lines for defense.

When the time comes, I should be able to cover myself pretty well. After all, they were the ones who bullied me first.

After school, I met up with Nico and the boys. We hung out at the hanging area in the backyard, and they told me the aftermath of the incident.

Right after the bathroom incident, all the girls ran as far as they could. They ended up going back to the classroom and grabbed their bags. They all had the intention of going straight home after that, but they found their bags to be completely soiled with mustard and ketchup.

In the end, the other classmates calmed them down. They had intentions to go straight home after that, but they quickly withdrew those intentions after talking with everybody else. They didn't really mind the ketchup and mustard since they just went through an even worse experience, which kind of disappointed Nico's three friends. On the other hand, Nico felt sorry for the girls since they experienced my revenge scare so badly.

They mentioned that the girls wouldn't stop crying, even Alica was silenced throughout the whole day. Hearing this, I'm sure those girls will become traumatized for their entire life.

Well, I'm kind of glad. Otherwise, they will continue to harm others for the sake of their goals.

Truthfully, I don't have to go this far. I don't have to traumatize them, and I certainly don't need to do anything to them. Last Friday, Alica had already lost when Nico chose me, so I already won even without taking any of those actions.

But, this is a vengeance from the built up pain that I've felt for many years. All those days of me being hated and avoided by everybody else. All those moments where I was crying because nobody wants to be on my side.

This revenge action also serves as a warning. To all of the people who have no intention of being close to me, to make sure they don't even think about messing with me. So, it was both a revenge and a warning.

Hopefully, the people of this school are smart enough to heed that warning. Otherwise, I might have to ask Aunt Linda for help again.

Speaking of Aunt Linda, she is being very annoying next to me.

Nico and I met up after school at the school backyard, where we first kissed. But, he came alongside his friends, who seemed to want to hear what happened from me as well.

And while we were trading stories with one another, Aunt Linda kept on playing around with Nico's hair, and Nico had to scratch his head every time. Fortunately, he didn't realize his hair was being messed around with since he was so interested in the story telling. Otherwise, I will have to explain to the three idiots that there's a ghost right behind Nico.

The talk lasted for about half an hour since the three idiots had a lot to tell, and we all left school after that. As promised, Nico and I went demon hunting again, but this time with Aunt Linda assisting.

Being an experienced exorcist during her lifetime, Aunt Linda is curious about what kind of demon hunts that I've been doing alongside Nico. It was also part of the agreement that I made with her when I got her to help me. She wants to see the demon hunting experience with her own eyes, and she even wants to take part in it.

So, she ended up coming along. The best part was, I haven't even told Nico about it.

We arrived at the location after driving there with a cab, and it looks to be another abandoned factory. It was quite far away from school, so the cab was incredibly expensive. Also, this one looks to be much larger than the previous factory.

Just like any of the other places, this one was closed by thin metal walls. After passing through them, I told Nico about Aunt Linda.

"What!? So, this whole time, your plan was to use Aunt Linda to scare them?"

Nico asked, and I turned to Aunt Linda laughing next to me.

I didn't tell Nico or his friends about Aunt Linda. I just told them that I was scaring them off using some sort of method, but I didn't really tell them about what I did in detail. But now, Nico knows of what I did, and he looks very terrified.

"If it was me… then I would've been traumatized as well."

"Oh, please! You've been demon hunting with me so many times. Naughty spirits are nothing compared to demons."

"Yeah, but… aren't they scarier?"

Well.…In a way. Since demons are only capable of harming you, it's not like people can see them. It's not like those demons have a high intelligence like Aunt Linda, and it's not like they are anywhere near a crowded place like a school.

So… In a way…

"Mmmmm~maybe."

"… I feel really bad for those girls now."

Nico said, and it made both me and Aunt Linda lose it laughing. What we did was truly cruel for those girls, but they deserved it. And Nico can only imagine it happening to him since it was so bad. Well, hopefully I won't have to use this method again to bully people. It is a cruel method, and I wouldn't use it if the targets weren't people who wronged me badly.

I turned to Nico, and he is already taking out the water guns from the bag. We grabbed them from the usual shop at the alley before ordering the cab. And seeing the fancy water gun toys, Aunt Linda whistled.

'These things shoot the holy water?? You two are going to war instead of exorcism!'

Aunt Linda commented, and what she said made sense. No exorcist out there would use water guns to spray the holy water to the targets. They would just use their hands and sprinkle the holy water towards the demons, and the demons would usually disappear like that.

But, I have experienced two demons who didn't disappear even after touching holy water. They only got hurt, and if anything, it angered them badly. Which is why a larger amount of holy water is needed when facing those demons, and that's where these water guns come from.

"The future is now, Aunt Linda. It's outdated to only sprinkle the holy water."

I said to Aunt Linda, and Nico turned to me confused. I told Nico what Aunt Linda said about the water guns, and he laughed a little.

"Well, these babies are indeed futuristic. Also they're expensive as heck, but they're pretty useful. It's good to shoot them at a longer range if the demons can do some weird shenanigans."

Nico explained, and Aunt Linda got quite confused.

'How far does it shoot, exactly?'

She asked, and I repeated the question for Nico to hear. Before long, he lifted the water gun forward and fired a single shot towards the thin metal wall in the distance.

The water gun fired forward, shooting a ton of holy water that flew over twenty meters from the firing position. Seeing how far it could've reached, Aunt Linda looked very terrified seeing it.

'You two are definitely going to war! That is insane!!'

Hearing her reaction, I laughed until my stomach hurt. Nico looked rather confused seeing my reaction, but I explained to him what Aunt Linda said. He laughed a little after that as well.

Afterwards, Nico finished loading the second water gun and handed it to me. Aunt Linda followed behind us as we entered the abandoned factory, and we took a glance inside.

It's much larger than the previous since this one is at the edge of the town. It's quite far from a crowded place, and certainly there is a good reason for it.

This factory is a snack factory. There's gigantic machines all over the place, rails and even an office at what seemed to be the second floor. All these machines are turned off, and from the looks of it, no one has been taking care of this place for months now.

It's a good amount of time for a demon to appear.
