NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9.1
The clock in this world continues ticking without fail.
It has already been a month and a half since the high school seniors were summoned to another world.
After struggling with surviving and learning for several days, they were taught the basic common sense of the other world while living in a section of the imperial palace until yesterday.
At the end of the year, they enjoyed this other world’s festival called the ‘year-end festival’. Although they couldn’t freely walk the streets of the capital after leaving the imperial palace, they were able to get away from the restricted area for a while and get a taste of the culture of this other world.
The Empire has been diligently taking care of them, who will become a turning point in history, without failing to continue their surveillance and vigilance of them.
Everyone is grateful to the empire for not intimidating them in this unfamiliar environment, but there was no stupid classmate who believed that this would last forever.
Everyone had anxiety about the future in their hearts.
Time in another world flows unchangingly.
But today…
The previously established relationship between the summoned beings and the Empire is finally coming to an end.
How will that relationship be reestablished?
Everything will be decided in the upcoming attribute test.
** *
The attribute inspection device is huge and expensive, and only one exists in every major city in the Empire.
So, on January 1 every year, all young adults from large cities and neighboring small towns, regardless of social status, gather at the inspection center in the big city.
This is enforced as a law of the empire and a duty of the citizens of the empire, and all related expenses are borne by the imperial family.
Such a full inspection of attributes is a national policy to lay the foundation for the development of the empire by excavating and drafting all attributed individuals.
In Jedo, the largest city in the empire, there are as many as three inspection centers, and there is one inspection center inside the imperial palace.
Our class and the 3rd princess moved to the inspection center in the imperial palace at midnight on January 1st.
In front of our eyes, the magic light of the inspection machine illuminated the entire surroundings, signifying the completed preparations for inspection.
“Wow... It’s really pretty...”
Beside me, Jihye had her mouth open in admiration.
Each side of the transparent cuboid space was densely covered with complex geometric patterns and magic circles.
The color of the magic circles constantly changed and appeared radiant.
We are also not the only ones in the inspection center now.
The inspection center is structured like a football stadium.
In the center of the field, there were cages and equipment for the inspection, and the bleachers were filled with members of the imperial family and nobles.
As it is an attribute test for the princess and the summoned, its importance was greater than any other agenda in the empire.
“Unnie, fighting~! Don’t be nervous!”
“Nuna, fighting!!”
[T/N: Fighting = Korean encouragement]
A cute cheering sound was heard from the stands where the imperial family gathered. They appeared to be the younger siblings of the 3rd princess.
At a glance, it seems that they are children who are not yet 15 years old.
“Gee...”
Being cheered on, her nervous expression became more prominent.
It was a restless look that anyone could tell at a glance.
“From now on, we will conduct an attribute test for Her Highness, the 3rd Princess Amer di Kairos.”
With the moderator’s solemn words, she climbed the stairs and entered the testing ground.
Soon, she let out a sigh and placed her hand in the set position.
Just then, the magic circles rotated rapidly.
And-
An intense pink light burst out in all directions.
I felt my little Jihoo go into full mast as the blood rushed to my lower abdomen.
‘?!’
‘What the fuck?’
I took a quick look around.
Judging by the fact that all the boys in my class reeled their hips back slightly, it seems that the same phenomenon happened to all of them.
Fortunately, the girls couldn’t take their eyes off the 3rd princess.
“This!?’
The moderator then declared in an excited voice-
“Her Highness, the 3rd Princess, has awakened the [Beauty] Attribute- a continent-class attribute!!”
Continental attribute [Beauty]: it is a rare and outstanding attribute that only exists in one or two individuals per era.
“It is the same attribute as the first emperor of our empire, the Empress Kairos! This is the Second Coming of the Empress Kairos!!”
The moderator excitedly gored out some information about her attributes.
The [Beauty] Attribute is said to be an attribute that undergoes tremendous growth in the seduction and sexual intercourse skill...
And the subject does not discriminate between men and women.
It seems that my third leg got an erection after being exposed to her aura amplified by the testing device.
I want to run to the bathroom right away to relieve my sexual desire, but I can’t.
As a temporary measure, I put my hand in my trouser pocket, moved it, and adjusted it to be as inconspicuous as possible.
Nevertheless, the front of my pants is puffy.
Damn, I’ve never been more resentful of the size of my dick than today...
“Huh~”
‘So why don’t you stop looking at me, Jihye? What is that meaningful look in your eyes about...?’
Jihye noticed my difficult situation and laughed silently.
Anyway, the 3rd princess’s attribute test was very successful.
All the nobles applauded her uproariously. “Congratulations to Her Highness the Princess!”
“Hehe, thank you!”
Park Min-ho congratulated her as she came down from the inspection machine.
Her happy smile was reflected back at him.
I quickly scanned Minho Park.
The front of his trousers was not puffed up at all.
Uhhh...?
“Next, there will be an attribute test for the summoned!”
We set the order for the testing in advance in a class meeting.
The order was chosen based upon volunteers first and then in order of attendance number.
As a result of the meeting, the first to be examined was—
“Choi Ji-hoon, please step forth to the inspection machine!”
“Yep!!”
‘That guy, when asking about setting the order, he said he wanted to be first.’
It was like he was acting as the representative of our class.
Just like the 3rd princess, he climbed the stairs and immediately started on the inspection machine.
Immediately after that, a red light and a burning heat hit the crowd.
“Keugh!”
Fortunately, the light and heat were temporary.
The presenter shuddered all over.
“I can’t believe it!!
His reaction was as if he got a good deal at the supermarket.
This time, I didn’t feel any sudden changes on my person.
Steam leaked from Choi Ji-hoon’s body, and his eyes looked like blazing suns.
“This attribute is famous for being awakened by the owner of the Mage Tower and the only 8th Circle wizard on the continent! There are two continental class attributes!! God bless the empire!!!”
The [Sun] Attribute is an attribute that shows outstanding potential in activities related to light and heat.
Choi Ji-hoon came down from the inspection machine with a triumphant expression on his face.
It was the attitude of someone looking down on his surroundings as if everyone else was unlucky.
But his attitude didn’t last that long.
