The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All

Lately, Rauné was very put out.

"..."

A spirit born artificially through the Seven Calamity Sbeungali, and also a mandrake.

That being—who Yu Ji-hyeok had named Rauné—was, in all sincerity, very, very put out.

The reason was simple.

For the past several days, its nest—its territory—had been trampled on without permission, one violation after another.

Not all spirits were like this, but some of them clung fiercely to their territories and reacted sharply to any intrusion.

And even spirits who didn't care about territory knew full well how serious a breach of manners it was to barge into another spirit's domain.

Even Belluna Hunt, who had once been worshipped as a god of an entire region, had bowed politely to Rauné as the territory's owner, apologized, and asked permission before entering. To spirits, territory carried weight that mattered enormously.
