Oh, I see. Based on that link, there are two types of ateji. So, in this case, from what I understand, it's the second type of ateji, which would mean that despite the difference in reading, the kanji still means destiny or faith. Is that right?

@Wondercricket Interesting. In ours, we do a gesture similar to what the Japanese does, sometimes with a slightly downward arm movement while flicking the fingers when it's something urgent.

You missed something while watching the anime/reading the manga. I suggest rewatching/rereading since this was explained.
