chapter 54
54 – 1. Academy (54)
#54
It was a bright morning.
When classes started in earnest after a week at the academy, which had been very dense, the main entrance of the academy was bustling with students.
There is only one reason. This is to confirm the newly organized class through the test.
In the end, only 1021 first-year students survived.
The number of students in the entire school, which was close to 8,000 at the beginning, has also decreased dramatically to 5,145. In particular, it is not an exaggeration to say that the number of first-year students is unprecedentedly low.
Incidents are also incidents, but since they continue to explode, it seems that there were many people who could not stand it and fell away. However, on the contrary, the remaining 1,000 people are said to be high-quality gemstones that have survived it.
Whether this will be poison or medicine will depend on the future educational policy of the academy.
The first step is unfolding right in front of your eyes.
“…Huh? What’s wrong with my eyes? Am I in class A?”
“What the f*ck. Why am I being demoted to Class C?!”
“Wow!!! Promoted! I got a promotion!”
“Kiyah-ho!”
The sound of joy and sorrow resounded from everywhere. Some have risen and some have fallen.
As the academy’s large-scale class change takes place simultaneously with the final exams of each semester, it is treated as a speciality rather than a speciality.
“Puff…”
“It’s a good time.”
In fact, there were also some bad-tempered seniors who came early to see the first graders crying and laughing in each class.
Since they have already passed through it, they must know very well how futile it is to dwell on such a thing, but the position of watching it without knowing anything was a look that could be misunderstood as being ridiculed.
“What now?”
“Oh, sorry. Did you hear me?”
“Eww…!”
However, if that is also the work of a senior student, it is a work of art. By inciting opponents like that and requesting a duel, it must be their intention to quickly raise the school rankings that went down through the new influx.
Is that possible? Possible. Because this is an academy.
Those who were regarded as geniuses and giraffes from all over the world gathered in one place at a time when they couldn’t control their blood.
It’s normal to have constant fights. Even if it is blocked anyway, it is wiser to put restrictions in advance by making fighting into a discipline called a duel than to foster a preliminary criminal who wants to hide somewhere and deal with it.
In the process, they collide with each other, and as they are ground, they are gradually worn out and socialized.
Teachers also do not have an infinite amount of time. It is most convenient from a teaching point of view to put similar things together and shake them wildly without having to polish them one by one.
If you catch something that shines or protrudes from the gap and manage it intensively, you can produce excellent students with that alone.
Too much? No car? Would you say such a thing in front of an enemy? Wouldn’t it be much more future-proof to learn the bitter taste of the world in advance in this place where mistakes are accepted and can be established as a system?
On the contrary, I should be grateful for allowing me to feel such an important life lesson. I don’t know about the other teachers, but the principal of the academy sincerely thinks so.
It is a common idea in a society that emphasizes thorough ability, but it is also true that there is nothing better to survive in this crazy world than that.
It may be difficult right now, but if you can endure it in the end, it is certain that you can grow.
“Hey! Duel over there!!”
“…Hey, already? Even though that happened, it is still the same.”
“Who and who?”
“One side looks like a freshman? Opponent?”
“Wow…Isn’t that [Fighting dog] Kaz?”
“Kazu? That brawler from the third year?”
Woong-goo-go-go.
At that time, a circle of people formed around the two people in the middle of the plaza. At that time, something descended from the sky and settled in the middle as if separating the two who were exchanging magical powers.
Chulkeng, gigiing…
It was a machine, not a life form, that descended rapidly. The wings at the back of the human form, whose gender cannot be inferred, were properly mixed with the mechanical ones. Likened to an angel made of machines.
It closed its eyes in the form of a sword, crossed its arms like a mummy, and began to move little by little.
Looking at the figure of a perfect person, the first year student thought it was the senior’s trick and drew his weapon.
Geeing!
At the same time, light emanated from the pupils of the fully opened mechanical angel and quickly scanned the surroundings. Recognizing the situation, the mechanical angel opened its mouth as it was and said.
A heterogeneous voice that sounds like a combination of recorded voices and played according to the situation, rather than lacking emotion. A slight mixture of mechanical sounds whispered in the ears of everyone around.
“This is…”
“Guardian. Another specialty of the academy.”
After saying that, the 3rd grader took out the device and recognized it to the guardian and opened his mouth.
“3Rd grade B class empty pussy Kaz. I was asked to duel on this spot.”
Ting ting ting, hairy kong!
At the same time, the Guardian’s wings disintegrated and settled around them as if forming a circular arena. At the same time, the disassembled wing fragments began to link their magical energy to create a huge barrier.
The first year, startled by the sudden situation, finally realized that he had fallen into a trap, but it was impossible to undo it because the barrier had already spread and the escape route had been blocked.
“The dueling method is Ilto! The retirement condition ends when the opponent’s surrender is received or when the guardian, who is an observer, determines that the battle cannot continue. Furthermore, the winner receives 500 ranking points. How about this?”
The Guardian turned and looked at the first year student. You really have to fight. Looking at the first grader who swallowed saliva at that fact, the third grader opened his mouth.
“I don’t want to punish too harshly for a freshman who has just entered school. I’ll give you enough to survive by skipping in moderation, so why don’t you get it quickly? My time is not infinite either.”
It’s a bit clunky, but perhaps thanks to the benevolent impression, the freshman nodded after making up his mind.
“…I accept.”
Good luck!
“Puha! Etc. God. There are people who really take this! This is why I can’t stop doing this!!!”
At the Guardian’s words, the 3rd grader changed his smile to a ferocious one, grabbed his stomach, and started laughing out loud. The first graders began to be visibly embarrassed by that appearance. Looking around him, he could see various sights.
Someone frowned and looked away from the first grader, while someone openly laughed at the stupid first grader along with the third grader. None of them wanted to move for the sake of the first year students.
Because this is the cradle of training and at the same time a place of competition.
“The RP (Rank Point) paid at the beginning of the first year is only 500! It is said that you are an asshole at the point of trying without even checking it properly!! Hee hee hee!!”
“This is a scam…”
“Oh my gosh~ He really is lacking. How did you survive that uproar?”
<5 Seconds ago>
<4>
Sureureung!
Empty-pussy Kazu, a third-year student with a katana drawn from her own belt, poses with a crooked smile.
“You took the fight. I got that It’s a scam and nothing. You idiot.”
“Oooh, aaa!!!!”
<3>
<2>
<1>
The moment the count of the hologram floating in the sky reached zero, the magical powers of the two clashed.
Teeeing!!!
“Keep it off…!”
“Kahhahahaha!!”
As both of them majored in close combat, there was no flashy battle, but a raw battle continued beyond that.
Kang! Kagagak!!
The blades of swords and swords collided, and sparks created by the collision of magical powers flew in all directions. However, it does not end there, and the blade of the katana, which slides down the blade of the sword, is bent as if it is being bounced off, sharply aiming at the neck of the first grader.
Shake!
“…?!”
As if entering the academy wasn’t form, he bent his head back to avoid it, but he couldn’t avoid even the sword steel wrapped in front of him, so blood splattered.
Kang!
She belatedly blocked the katana’s blade like a sword, but as if she had expected it, she let her sword slide back without much resistance. The moment when a freshman who saw this as an opportunity was about to swing his sword
Paak!
“Ok…?!”
Aiming for the right timing, magical energy penetrated from the knee that hit the pit of the stomach, causing the first year’s body to float slightly in the air.
Perhaps it was because he had put in quite a lot of mana, or he missed the sword, and the freshman fell on the floor with a gasp, as if he couldn’t breathe properly.
“Ah, what is it? I thought there was something because I jumped up proudly, but it’s just a proud chaff! Opened, opened!”
The first year student shook his head slowly at the sight of Kazu, who raised his empty pussy with all his magical energy. She opened her mouth to say something, but it was next to impossible to get the words out when she couldn’t even breathe properly.
“…Are you scared? That’s why the opponent has to attack while covering it. Huh?”
Puck!
The moment it was kicked in the face, blood splattered and something white flew into the air.
It was a tooth. The scene that followed was a simple violation. At first, those who cheered and enjoyed gradually began to express displeasure, such as hardening their complexion or furrowing their eyebrows.
Puck! Puck puck!
“Wake up!! Fight!!! Please entertain me more!!”
With or without it, Binboji Kazu kicked and stepped on it several times as if to show off the overwhelming difference between the 1st and 3rd years. The uniform, which should have been fresh and stiff, was stained with dirt and soaked blood.
Kwadauk! Puck!!
“Yes! That momentum!! Burn your will! Squeeze your magic!! Get a little more angry!!! I will turn it into strength and fight!!!”
I used my arms to block the attack several times along the way, but as the attack became stronger, I couldn’t even do that.
It was no longer a duel and nothing else. Simple violence, one-sided lynching, if this is not bullying, what on earth should we call bullying?
In the end, the hand of the first grader who lost the will to resist fell to the ground. Whether it was due to fainting or a broken heart, the angel raised his hand into the air, assuming that he was unable to continue the battle.
Tweet profit!!!
Help!
His brutal lynching, which seemed unlikely to stop no matter what, stopped abruptly as if time had stopped. Then he slowly brought the leg back and raised his head.
“…Ha”
The sigh he exhaled deeply spread into the sky, giving off white breath, perhaps because of the heat. End with it. After shaking off his katana once, he turned around and approached the guardian as if steam had leaked out with it.
“Give me a reward.”
Tiriling!
At the same time, a hologram appeared in front of him.
+
[Empty pussy Kaz]
[In-school ranking: 1024 (125▲)]
[RP : 77, 654 (500▲)]
+
“As expected, I like the academy because it gets things done quickly.”
At the sight of the hologram that changed in real time, the 3rd graders smiled with the same friendly spirit they had shown before.
“The ranking must have been a bit high for being a freshman. The battle was a little disappointing, but since I earned RP for free… Satisfied, satisfied~”
As he stretched out and moved to his seat, people on the street he passed avoided their seats, just like Moses’ miracle. Seeing that, the empty pussy Kazu giggled and left as if he was quite satisfied.
The first grader who collapsed was taken somewhere by medical staff who arrived immediately. The broken and blood-stained floor became clean as if nothing had happened with a few gestures from the guardian.
As if it had finished its work, it changed back to its original form and disappeared across the sky.
“…That person must be very strong. Are you Shinwoo?”
And Ban Tae-woong, who had been watching the whole scene from the beginning, suddenly spoke to me. I nodded my head obediently to him.
“Can I win?”
“Uh”
“…Isn’t that too easy to talk about?”
Ban Tae-woong, who had a dazed look on my words, tilted his head and asked.
Ban Tae-woong raised his face even more and asked why, as if he didn’t care.
That’s because you’re the main character.
I wanted to say that openly, but even if I did, this guy wouldn’t play around and stick with me until I told him the right reason. He won’t understand even if I tell him the truth, so he’ll have to give me another answer that he can understand.
Because that’s the perception I planted next to him until now.
Ask if you have any questions. Not knowing is nothing to be ashamed of. To neglect ignorance is above all foolishness.
I am well-informed. So, if you ask me anything, I will answer. After 1, 2, 10 years like that, I naturally started to think of myself as a biological scout beyond an encyclopedia that moves me.
If it’s smooth to make them rely on me, it’s smooth, but if I tell them everything, it goes beyond the level of advice. Adjusting it appropriately in my line is not bothersome.
I folded my arms and recalled the previous battle, and organized my thoughts.
“How did the enemy look to you?”
“It was rough. It’s clunky, but it feels like it’s being held firmly?”
Exactly. Although he didn’t show proper swordsmanship, a man named Binboji Kazu was very good in the category of ‘fighting’.
“Overwhelming combat sense. It was a case where he polished it and used it as his weapon. They probably hope for a sloppy melee rather than a stereotyped confrontation. In fact, he himself used a specialized fighting method.”
The katana he was using was also shorter than other swords. In the first place, it should be seen that the sword is used in the fight rather than leading the battle with the sword as the center.
“To see it as an impromptu attack, the form was neat and the flow of magic was stable. Seeing that you can adjust the power from the line of neutralization to the power, it is a power that cannot be produced unless you train Baktu on a regular basis.”
“Aha, so the sword is only a means of combat, and the main thing is the first half of the attack using the body?”
I nodded at Ban Tae-woong’s answer.
That kind of person doesn’t choose a weapon. Because he is confident in his basic body, he can use any weapon at any time. Wouldn’t it be mid-to-high if not the best that has dug deep into the field?
In other words, it is also an opponent whose limits and countermeasures are very clear.
Simplicity can be an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage in most cases. That man covered that simplicity with pure fighting sense.
“The compatibility is not right. You may be pushed at first right away, but when you get used to it over time, you are the one who overwhelms from that moment on.”
“Because my main skills are focused on holding and countering?”
“Yes, if there are many physical attacks, the number of attacks that can be selected for the next attack will be limited.”
Ban Tae-woong’s speciality is not to poke through the gaps created like that.
“If you fight 10 times, won’t you win about 2 out of 10?”
“…Huh? Only twice?”
At those words, I hit Ban Tae-woong on the head.
“Ouch”
“Ahhh…”
My hand hurt more when I hit it because I thought it was someone who wasn’t a tanker/dealer. He blinked as if he couldn’t believe my words as he wrote down the area that had been hit.
“The fact that you have an advantage in a number fight is the result. Even if that person is good at that weakness, I will just leave it alone. Isn’t it because you have the means to supplement and cover it to some extent, so you survived until the third grade?”
“…Aha!”
Aha what the f*ck. I think I gained a little bit of confidence after being in the top 30, which I was aiming for, but I have to wake up a little bit because I got dumped like this. Really.
It is no exaggeration to say that since most of the dungeons located inside the academy are heavily biased towards growth, the advantage you can get in them is beyond imagination if you can clear them.
That third year must have acquired some of them.
The difference between having it or not, and the proficiency of the skills obtained by conquering the dungeon, will determine the victory or defeat.
After considering all of that, the answer I came up with is that out of 10 fights, you win about 2 times.
“Above all, that man did not use any job-related skills and just fought innocently. Just one or two variables in a battle can change the situation, and there might be several more. Do you understand now? Climb.”
“…I see.”
It was annoying to have them figure it out one by one, so when I roughly explained it, they nodded as if they understood.
Did you really find out? Isn’t it just words? If you look closely, it seems that this bastard is doing this to listen to my explanation by pretending to be stupid on purpose on a smart subject.
“Mr. Taewoong!!”
“Haaam…”
Lucia and Lily approached from the other side. To be precise, Lucia was carrying Lili by her side like a burden.
I felt strange because it seemed like he was watching me when he came to my room and dragged me out.
The difference is that I came out on my own feet because I was noisy, and Lili chewed it all up and was treated like a burden?
I thought it was because it took a long time to prepare because I was just a woman, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
“Ha, sorry for being late. Because Lily fell asleep again…”
“Ahahahaha, it’s okay. Thanks to that, I was able to see something special.”
“…I thought it was a strange atmosphere, but what happened?”
Even as he said that, he glared at me as if he were asking if it was you who did it this time. Oh well i didn’t He hasn’t even come to his senses yet. f*ck.
“Yes, I mean…”
I sighed and closed one ear at the sight of Ban Tae-woong, who started to solve the rumors that had just happened with luck. After all, people don’t change easily.
No matter how much the stage changed, the damned world was still operating normally. No, because I got involved with more weirdos, it’s going to be more f*cked up. This is not an estimate, it is only half confirmed.
As we chatted and arrived at the place where the class assignments were written, it became quiet in an instant. Perhaps he was concentrating on searching for a name.
I was able to find my name right away with the [Speed Reading] Skill, as if the arrangement of letters was also recognized as a document. As if it was natural, I clicked my tongue inwardly when I saw the name in the S.
‘Well, can it change just by watching it again like this?’
Actually, I’ve already confirmed that I’m in Class S. I got a notification on my device that morning.
It’s not just me, it’s probably the same for others, but what is the reason for waking up early in the morning and checking here? An event prepared by God? Just feel that way? Maybe there are some superstitions that I don’t know about.
Why, things like jinxes like ‘If you check it yourself, your grade will go up’ or ‘That semester will go well’.
As the world goes crazy, superstition does not stop at the level of real rumors, but it is a problem because there are things that reach the realm of witchcraft or spells.
I can guarantee you that if this guy gets information about something like an academy mystery, he’ll definitely go around looking for it from that day forward.
Why are you asserting? Among the novels and games I have enjoyed, that kind of event was quite a major topic.
“…Ah, I’m in S class. How are Shinwoo and Lucia?”
“I’m in Class S too.”
“Me too~”
That’s right. I wondered if I would fall out with the main character this time, but when I saw the names standing proudly in class S, I let out a deeper sigh.
If I can’t avoid it, I should enjoy it, but I just couldn’t dare to do it.
Damn it, tell me how to enjoy your work. Work is work No matter how much I fit my aptitude, progress steadily, and receive recognition from those around me, there is no change in being tired and f*cking.
“…My classmates have changed a lot too.”
“I will. In terms of ratio, should we say half and half?”
As Lucia said, the number of people in Class S has changed drastically. There were cases where people who had previously been in A or B miraculously went up to S, and conversely, there were also those who went down from S to B or C.
That figure is exactly half. The adjustment is also dramatic because there are a lot of first-year students who were expelled due to a series of incidents or who chose to drop out voluntarily.
“Oh, there are roses too.”
“…Hmm”
Among them was Cheonmi Cheon, who was originally in Class A. Come to think of it, I don’t know anything about how Cheonmi fights. It’s correct to say that I wasn’t interested.
As a woman of the underworld, do you want to specialize in assassination? The priest’s side also had a strong feeling that it would be filled with the woman Ban Tae-woong guarded last time, so the remaining position is inevitably the scout side.
‘It’s exhausting.’
Is it a rebound from getting up early in the morning? Or maybe the pain from yesterday is still there. Now, I wanted to go to class as soon as possible and rest.
“…Let’s go to class quickly.”
“Yes! I want to go to class soon and talk with my new friends! What kind of kids are there?”
It’s the same purpose, but how can the reasons be so different? Still, I’m glad you agree. All the troublesome guys can be put to this guy. I’m thinking of sleeping in the corner or taking a sigh.
As if my thoughts were fully reflected in my expression, Ban Tae-woong’s dry smile with a wry smile and Lucia’s short sigh as she glared at me with an expression of disgust overlapped at the same time.
“Haa~am…”
Lili’s stretchy yawn made the two of them face her face for the last time and laughed as if they couldn’t help it.
Let’s go quickly, so the two started to make a space for the two of us while chatting, + I, leaving a piece of luggage behind, headed towards the back of the classroom.
Please, this time, I hope that a little more normal pups will come in.
If you think about it, it was a very complacent idea. The new arrivals were all from Class A and Class B. And among those guys, there were hardly any guys who weren’t swayed by the incitement spilled by Cheonmi Cheon.
It means that even if you are not interested in me, the rumor itself has penetrated deeply to the level that you would have heard it by ear.
Looking at this, it seems that she is competent as her next head of the underworld. Because agitation is a pretty good tool in plotting.
“Hey, are you tall?”
“???”
But it seems that he was a bit too competent.
From the moment I entered the classroom, I was greeted with obvious hostility. The man who glared at me with a sad expression stood in the lead, followed by various b*tches.
I wonder if the commonality is only faces I don’t know.
Well, the kids left in Class S here are the ones who know that I’m embarrassed to compare them to rumors and such, and that they have enough skills to overcome them. I mean, unless I reset my memory with a concussion, I won’t do such nonsense.
But those who just came up to class S don’t know that.
As I scanned the inside of the class, the quick-witted guys from Class One S quickly averted my gaze. It’s because I quickly caught that my expression wasn’t that good.
Why is empathy so low when there is such a level of crisis avoidance ability? Didn’t I think that I would stir-fry all of them at once after I cooked them?
Originally, being burned by a spark is the most sad and painful way.
“…Ha”
When I let out a sigh openly, the man who appeared as the representative frowned as if he had caught the case, and opened his mouth.
“Aren’t you being too picky about Taewoong doing well?”
I wonder if that was the starting point, or if it was because they were in the group and gained courage, the guys in the back also started to help out one word at a time.
“Really, it’s like a star. Did you see it before? Did Tae-woong hit you on the head at the entrance?”
I hit him because he did what he deserved.
“Wow~ Really? It’s so f*cking over the line.”
You guys are crossing the line. I wonder if they know what they are thinking of me right now when they see me jumping rope with it over the over-the-top line?
“Is your childhood friend a government official? Are you crazy?”
If you twist it, would you be reincarnated in a f*cking world without your consent? It’s a f*ck. Why are you yelling at me
“Ha, that won’t work. There is no sign of remorse.”
As I was silent and silent, the representative man shrugged and straightened his shoulders, as if he had misunderstood that they had the upper hand.
“Follow me to the rooftop. Let me show you.”
It’s not even 28 years old, what is that? There really isn’t a single quiet day.
…f*ck, bother.
“Haa…”
I lowered my head. These other guys are class S that will be together from now on. I really can only sigh. How did all of them pick and choose only idiots like idiots to come up? Isn’t there really something wrong?
Since I entered school with a parachute right away, I had enough doubts.
But that’s it. This is it.
“… Hey.”
I was surprised by the sharp and cold voice that I thought it came out of my mouth at the moment.
I wondered if this would make me so angry, but now that I think about it, I have low blood pressure. Being reincarnated into this world is a b*tch, but he even acquired a constitution to be sick.
Thanks to that, I’ve become such a narrow-minded bastard that I can really take my life if someone tries to forcefully wake me up while I’m sleeping or if someone touches my heart while I wake up.
Now I have all three overlapping. Seriously, I wondered if the [Subdued] Would have judged my current situation as having succumbed and raised my stats.
In such a state, these bastards prepared this surprise to cure my low blood pressure.
They risked their lives and prepared something they didn’t want, so I should repay them appropriately, right? Right?
If you receive it, you have to give it back. Because i am kind I won’t return it intact, I’ll hit the boat and return it.
“… Huh?”
“This is an application for a duel, right?”
I didn’t ask for a specific answer. It was because my hand was already on the device and the [Guardian Summon] Button on the inside of the already open Academy app had been pressed.
I smiled brightly at the appearance of the guardian who arrived in an instant. Contrary to that, the complexion of the retard in front of me began to fade.
“Okay, let’s do it. Duel.”
Clap Clap Clap Clap!
I smiled even more at the images of those who went beyond blurring and became contemplative at the sight of the field unfolding along with the noise of machines.
“Unlimited battles. The only way to win or lose is to make the target incapacitated. The loser must obey the winner.”
It doesn’t matter, since I only have one order to give. I nodded in agreement.
The purpose is to hit those retards deep into the bones of what kind of existence I am.
“Accept.”
“…My, why am I like this…”
I stared openly at the face of the guy who had just started taking it off and said. The skill [Charisma] Was strengthened by mixing the murderous and more condensed killing power with mana.
Overwhelming presence has the magic that makes you follow it with just that. Whether it be forced or voluntary.
And the garbage in front of my eyes was swept away by its presence, and it was so much garbage that I couldn’t handle it.
“Accept. To do”
“Can, accept…”
He belatedly shook his head and expressed his intention to refuse, but the Guardian’s perception remained positive.
I put the device in the guardian’s agreement. Then, the distance narrowed, and the shadow instantly covered the entire body.
“Haa…”
Erasing a smile with a sigh. Thinking only clears the enemy in front of you.
All for my peace of mind.
I’ll kill them all. These f*cking bastards.
.
.

According to what I heard as if grumbling to Lucia, who devoted herself to taking care of the class, the bright smile I had at that time was no different from that of an evil devil in the world.
