chapter 1
I hurriedly opened my mouth.
“I’m really sorry… Sister. Can’t we all get tested again?”
“ha…”
The female employee sighing in relief at my words had eyes as if she had seen a guy like me hundreds of times.
“I’m sorry. Retesting rarely changes the attribute results. And if you go in for a re-examination, there will be an additional cost, okay?”
Then he looked me up and down as if he was scanning my body once, but I stopped without realizing it.
-Additional cost.
I know what that means.
And the fact that the female employee said that the results do not change are all true.
…Nevertheless, it was difficult to accept the test results.
[Spear Lv.1]
Among the many traits, having a spear can be seen as a bad result, but… … .
No, it was bad.
That was almost the worst outcome I felt.
“I’ll pay extra.”
I made up my mind and paid extra.
“…Yes, then, go back up on the altar.”
Receiving the pitiful gaze of the female employee, I took a step back.
I had no choice but to apply for a reexamination with the feeling of grabbing even a straw.
Because now my life is at stake with this trait.
If I could expect even the slightest possibility, I had to do it.
jerk.
As I stood up straight on the circular altar, a pure white light began to surround me again following the gestures of the female staff.
I longed for it as I looked at the glow.
‘Please Magical Attributes! please!’
In this world, magic is the most favored. And the short-range feature was really unanswered.
Tiling!

In the status window I saw for the first time and the status window that didn’t really change even a little, I felt like I was falling apart.
“I, over there…? I know you’re very upset right now. Now others are waiting for trait tests.”

My vision was blurry as I stood up blankly in the hands of the female employee who grabbed my shoulder and raised me.
‘how…’
Suddenly, it seemed that he could not see ahead. It was as if someone had covered their eyes.
What I have now received is a ‘characteristics test’ that can only be taken as an adult.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that one of these trait tests will determine your entire life.
But that’s it.
ruined.
It was also completely ruined.
jerk.
jerk.
I rubbed my eyelids as I walked blankly down the road to the exit.
A gloomy heart filled my heart as the moisture in my eyes filled my chest.
“Oh.”
“what should we do?”
“It’s a spear… Has anyone succeeded with a spear?”
Whether my ugliness had been shown to all the people in line right now, the words from those lining up for the examination seemed to dig into my heart.
ha.
He took a deep breath he couldn’t hide and left the property inspection room.
When even the heavy wallet became empty, it made my heart even more empty.
“f*ck…”
All motivation was lost as he stood up on the street, muttering swear words.
‘How do you make a living using spears?’
The reality I faced was terribly resentful that it didn’t help me.
I was present in the novels I was reading.
What happened at the beginning of the common general store.
Unbelievably, that’s what happened to me.
I don’t know if I’ve committed such a big sin or what I’ve done without my knowledge, but it’s already happened.
“…”
Even now, on one side of his view, he could see the building of the academy soaring high in the sky.
When I saw the exterior of the academy as magnificent as some kind of imperial castle, I was reminded of it.
That I am in this world of <Grand Royal Academy>.
A charming heroine with multiple hair colors. And like an academy-genre novel, I had a memory of reading through the story of the main character eating everything.
But based on that knowledge, what should I do?
Even thinking about the way back, nothing came to mind.
In the first place, I wasn’t even the main character, and at least I wasn’t a supporting character.
I was just ‘me’.
In other novels, all good characters and nobles possessed me, but now I don’t even have such a thing.
I was me in this world, just being there but not having anything to do with it.
like an impurity.
Still, I somehow got used to this world. Since there is no status window that I can see right away, I went into the inn and did chores such as chores to collect the money needed for attribute testing.
With a vague expectation that I might be able to live well in this world like the main character or supporting actor who showed outstanding performance.
A trait test that you can take as an adult.
If that goes well… Because there was nothing that I couldn’t do like the main character.
“Some bastard said Because I expect it, I will be betrayed…”
I mumbled a phrase I had seen in the past, and only a foolish laugh came out.
If you hit a jackpot in the trait test, your life will change, how can you not expect it?
“Mom, that uncle. Strange.”
“Oh. It’s best to avoid such people as much as possible and not get close to them. got it?”
“yes. okay!”
…The strange sound of a passerby made me look at a hat with a chewed expression on it.
uncle
There are things to say and things not to say.
Even though the mood subsided, I moved on.
“…but I’ll have to try.”
Nevertheless, it was possible to apply for admission to the academy.
Anyone can apply for admission to the academy if they take the character test.
In this world, assuming that it is a medieval background with noble spirits, the Academy can be seen as a single ray of light.
“Is it possible if I try?”
A small sigh leaked out while muttering the self-talk that had become a habit since I was living alone.
If they can stand out in the academy, they are taken from noble families or from the imperial castle.
That’s the kind of life I wanted.
Of course, there were times when I expected a comfortable life to be placed between the protagonist and supporting actors with overwhelming talent, but my most average expectation was a ‘life with a guaranteed future’.
I just wanted to do what I had to do and not interfere with my life.
“…”
With a sigh, I opened the detailed spear of my spear.
Tiling!

Trait Name: Spear
Class: Common
Current Trait Level: 1
Description: When handling a spear, you gain ‘correction’ for proficiency.
ㅡㅡㅡ

It was a simple explanation to the extent that I doubted that this was all because it was so simple.
At first glance, I wondered how important it was to get a ‘correction’, but there was a difference that could not be explained with and without that correction.
“…common.”
The grade of the trait was also the expected grade, but seeing it in reality made my mind even more complicated.
There, in this world, the close range. So, being given the characteristics of a physical group was actually a kind of ‘disaster’.
Almost all monsters have overwhelming resistance to physics.
Even a goblin has thick skin, so it’s not easy to get hurt with a normal weapon, and even if you kill a monster, even maintaining the blade of the weapon costs a lot of money.
Besides, from the information I know, there was no spear instructor in the academy.
“If I had not known at all, I would have had hope.”
Knowing the world of the Grand Royal Academy so well was pathetic now.
Then he immediately shook his head.
‘There are two months left.’
The time remaining until the entrance exam was tight.
…I didn’t even have time to blame the character.
I had to get an iron spear right away and somehow raise my attribute level.
At least you have to go to the academy to get a chance.
tuk.
I turned right to the blacksmith.
***
Two months have passed.
“Hey… heck…!”
it feels like my heart is going to explode
Exhaling the breath that was filled to the tip of his throat, he leaned against the spear he was holding and stared into the air.
Then a status window appeared in the field of vision.

“Shake.”
Even as he spit out swear words, there was a smile on his lips.
did it
I thought I wanted to shout out loud, but just exhaling the fullness of breath to the end of my throat was already the limit.
After two months of hard work, I was able to raise the attribute level to 3.
Additionally, several stats were also raised, but it was encouraging to me that the level of the spear had risen more than anything else.
“This is the pass line.”
The trait level of the academy entrance exam takers seen in the novel was on average 2.
A being with a truly deceptive trait would pre-pass admission even with trait level 1, but my trait, a common-grade spear technique, didn’t have such a thing.
So, over the past two months, I’ve been able to raise my talent level by working really hard.
“ha…”
As he exhaled heavily, he wiped the sweat running down his cheeks.
And then I noticed that my body had changed.
‘Really, I rolled like a dog.’
time of the last two months. Even though I was forced to train, my body changed.
Considering that the average ability level that did not go up was increased by 2, it was truly a great development.
tuk.
Raising his droopy body, while moving to take the test, his gaze shifted to one side of the gymnasium.
ㅡ! ㅡㅡ!
As it is one of the gymnasiums in the city, I could see a lot of people working hard to raise their attribute level.
And one woman stood out among them.
With blue hair that fell down to her waist, and eyes that sparkled like stars, it was immediately felt that a woman was not normal.
…that’s wielding a sword,
Hui Yu-woong!
The strong wind was constant, so I couldn’t help but look at it.
‘What kind of characteristic is it?’
Just because it has the same basic characteristics as [Swordsmanship] doesn’t mean that such a wind will arise.
Because this world was a world of terribly talented and pedigree, such a thing could not appear.
The characteristic of a splendid name, such as the [Changcheon One Sword], possessed by the protagonist of this Grand Royal Academy, existed.
That blue-haired woman I’m looking at right now must be… I’d have to say she’s got those kinds of outstanding qualities.
Even at the minimum, I guessed it as a rare-grade characteristic.
swish.
“…?”
Then, when she suddenly looked at me, I lightly waved my hand thinking that it was just like avoiding her gaze.
swish.
Then, I immediately turn my head. It was ridiculous to stop waving my hand.
