Episode 8. An unexpected gift
A meeting of the evaluation team after the end of the exam.
“How do you see Vice Principal Priscilla?”
“I do not know.”
“Then I will start with my opinion. The social position of our academy is too high to be determined by the content of the exam as being the chief. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the individual’s personality and external recognition so as not to become a member of the academy in the future. A Swift student who surrendered in consideration of his opponent even though he was on the brink of victory in the final match, wouldn’t it be the best fit for such a senior position? I think so.”
The biggest topic of the meeting today was how to decide the outcome of the final, and when the professors’ conversation intensified, Assistant Principal Priscilla treated both of them as losing.
“The chief would be Margaret Student.”
“Yes? … Are you doing this to prevent accidents? Even if that were the case, I wouldn’t be able to pass a child who didn’t even make it to the second round.”
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“Oh, no.”
Within the academy, he is a sympathizer with unconditional power.
her family and ties. And the title of holder of a nationally recognized interferometer characteristic broke the will of the professor who supported Swift.
“Swift takes the second seat.”
“… All right.”
The professors’ faces darkened at the vice-principal’s arbitrary decision, but Priscilla Rudra did not pay any attention to it.
‘I took it again.’
It was discovered that Swift’s parents had bribed that Professor Geta.
It’s not a huge amount, so even if it’s publicized, it’s hard to print it out because it’s just enough to say that you were treated like a meal.
“Doesn’t the Goldwood family’s son fit in third place?”
Professor Magic sits next to Geta.
A wizard who unconditionally affirms the magic that he has devoted his life to, and who insists that black magic and blood magic should also be included in mainstream magic.
Still, the reason I brought him up as a professor is because he is known as an adult among wizards and is competent. He has a love for magic itself regardless of school and possesses the characteristics of perfect memory, so he is more qualified as an educator than anyone else.
However, sometimes when a child who has learned magic comes in, the problem is that he conducts an offensive of affection that goes beyond that limit.
“I am against it. Antonio Goldwood is not the lumber of a hero.”
Professor Frost raises objections instead of the vice principal.
“Why?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? In Dalian, I chanted ‘Annihilation’. It was meant to kill people.”
“It’s an extreme order, but I don’t think it is-”
When the debate was about to start again, the vice-principal stepped in.
“Grace melon would be fine.”
There were shouts of sickness here and there, but no one responded.
The moment Professor Geta raised his head and opened his lips, the vice-principal’s gaze reached him and he hardened as if he had become a stone statue.
gossiping professors.
‘Did you shoot the interference wave?’
‘Geta took it again.’
‘Tzutsu, the author of the professor is pathetic.’
“Goldwood placed 4th… , this seems appropriate. 5th and 6th place are twins.”
Professors who make rankings by watching the vice-principal.
When it was 10th place, the sound of the vice principal’s teacup being set down rang out loudly.
“How do you rate Nam Man-hyuk?”
“Nam Man-hyuk? Oh, you’re talking about the student that Miss Margaret was referring to.”
“He is dexterous and has good judgment. And the mastery of implementation is great.”
There are many types of realization-type awakeners, and they are broadly classified into two types according to the way they are used.
illusion and reality.
As the word implies, the illusion does not affect reality, and the substance can interact according to the will of the awakened.
Each has its pros and cons and it depends on how you use it, but the difficulty of materialization is high, so you get extra points.
“But it’s a disappointing trait to be a hero.”
“I am very excited about my future as a rescue specialist. How about recommending firefighters?”
“Tenth place.”
“Yes?”
“Keep the meeting going.”
Some professors’ mouths protrude like children, but they never complained.
The vice principal raised a teacup and covered his mouth, smirking. He owed hero prospects in just six hours after starting the test.
Is it a misunderstanding to think of the tactics of a seasoned politician from that appearance?
widely.
“I’ll leave it behind.”
“Yes!”
Only after the sympathetic principal, who was not interested in the other students, opened his mouth, and the meeting became lively.
So, a total of 60 candidates were selected.
It was the same number as last year.
* * *
Only after Margaret, who passed the first class, gave a tearful testimonial in the auditorium, the students’ greatest interest, class placement, began.
A to F class.
A is the elite class and F is a class for children with poor grades or relatively ambiguous characteristics.
“The assignment is over. Please check your Holocard.”
When the contract man announced the announcement, the children hurriedly scanned the cards they received.
[A Class]
[Margaret Yevsovic]
[swift]
… .
… .
… .
[Nam Man-hyuk]
“Students from 1st to 10th can change classes, so please let us know at any time.”
When the children laughed and joked, I raised my hand.
“I’m going to class F.”
Margaret and twins. Even Grace looks at me with surprised eyes. Swift nodded as if understanding something.
“Are you serious?”
“I know myself well. It was just a coincidence that we got 10th place. I hope someone better than me gets the chance.”
“… Huh.”
A professor sitting at the back of the podium exclaims.
“All right. We reflect the opinion of student Manhyuk Nam. Everyone, you have to work hard.”
When the children who did not understand his words tilted their heads, the vice principal took his microphone.
“A class has a capacity of 10 people. A seat is vacant.”
The children’s eyes changed. Scholarships that you can receive if you enter Class A and care that continues after graduation.
Anyone would want it, except in special cases like me.
“I look forward to your performances in the evaluation match at the end of the month.”
The vice-principal’s declaration that he will select class A students.
oh oh!
The contract man was handed the microphone politely from the vice principal.
“Then there will be dormitory assignment.”
This time, it was announced through the card. I searched for my name, but strangely, the search result came up as ‘None’.
It’s the same with Margaret’s Holocard sitting next to her.
‘Something is wrong.’
I informed the contract man of this situation, and he shrugged his shoulders and pointed his eyes at the sympathizer.
“Assistant Priscilla, why are you doing this to me?”
Perhaps they didn’t know I was going to ask openly, so the professors around me looked surprised.
“There is no room.”
No room in one of the world’s largest academies, Seohia? Doesn’t that mean you’re going to fuck me?
Was it that hard to be ranked 10th?
“Student Man-hyeok Nam, I think you’re misunderstanding, so I’m saying this.”
“Yes?”
“This is the principal’s order. freedom after school. They said it was a gift they were supposed to give if they passed.”
The professors’ strange eyes are on the back of the vice principal’s head.
Is this the inspiration?
“calm down. Unlike that old pest, I have a high regard for Nam Man-hyuk. So, I’d like to offer a little support. How is it.”
“I believed. Principal.”
situation that has already been decided. Nothing is going to change if I talk about it here.
You get it when you give it.
As if prepared in advance, the vice principal held out a pocket to me. I picked it up and checked the inside, and it was there.
“Firestone?”
Children burst into laughter when they bring out an ugly stone that would have been abandoned even in the Iron Age.
When I looked at the vice principal, she pulled up the corners of her lips, but didn’t say anything.
“With this, the entrance ceremony for this year ends. You can go to school from next Monday, and don’t forget to apply for elective courses before then. Well done everyone. Admission, congratulations.”
Oooh!
I was the only one who couldn’t laugh in the auditorium filled with cheers and joy.
* * *
As we dispersed with the holocards distributed to each other, I went to visit the children I became close with during the test and asked them to sleep for one night.
“that… , sorry. Because my parents are coming.”
“We too.”
“I’ll invite you next time. Sorry.”
Margaret and the twins are crazy. Swift disappeared like the wind as soon as the ceremony was over. … Now there is only hope for him.
“Are there melons? me a little Whoops, whoops!”
I laughed out loud at the sight of Queen looking back with her eyes swollen and puffy.
His face turned red and his fists were trembling.
“… die!”
Then he went away.
Ah, how do you endure a Q-shaped bruise?
“It’s ruined.”
-Roman. I found an abandoned mountain hut like you, would you like to go?
‘Oh, Richett Noona. Take me!’
-eww.
greatness.
“where?”
-… Wait a minute, 30 minutes if you climb the mountain, 2 hours if you follow the road.
It is quite a distance to the mountain hut. The sun will set soon, so it’s best to arrive early if possible.
“Huh, huh. here. Isn’t it?”
-Forest manager pathway? no, no I think it’s been over 10 years since no one went.
After climbing almost to the level of a cliff, I was able to find the lodge that Richett spoke of.
“Is it a mountain hut?”
-right. huh? … Bolt side satellite encounter. Request to release implementation.
In an emergency, Richett’s tone changes. As before, there is a way to shoot down with a beam, but my life is inconvenient when it is unavailable for 7 days.
Starting today, I have to live on the street, and Richett’s help is essential.
As requested, I unlocked the implementation of Richet, picked up a stick of a suitable size, and opened the door of the hut wrapped in cobwebs.
“Are you there?”
Of course there was nothing. Tables, chairs, and utensils were nowhere to be found after washing their eyes, and only piles of stones believed to have been fire pits at best were found in the backyard.
“But where is the roof?”
Compared to the homeless life I’ve had in the past, this is good.
Because it is a dark and closed space, I suddenly remember the time when I was trapped in a bunker with the queen.
‘That was the first conversation.’
Contrasting the completed queen at the time with the clumsy queen now brought laughter.
On the other hand, it is a bit strange to think that within a few years I will become the queen I know.
‘Well?’
On the second floor of the mountain lodge, I decided to make a room that was in good condition as a bedroom, cleaned it, and kept thinking about miscellaneous thoughts. Suddenly my heart raced and the accident accelerated.
this is it
I quickly opened the status window.
【Characteristic: Romantic】
【Slot 1: Myrtos Beach, Greece】
【Slot 2: Richet】
【Slot 3: None】
There is a third slot.
“Why is this already open? What is the reason? Remembering Queen?”
So far, I have had too many contacts with him. If it was a trigger, it should have opened sooner.
I put a broom made of weaving thin branches and thought. Opening a slot and filling a slot are two different things.
Opening a slot requires a trigger, which is different each time. For example, before the return, an old cookbook was a trigger, but in this lifetime it didn’t work.
What could have been the trigger?
After removing a few with the elimination method, one plausible hypothesis remained.
“Is this for real?”
A flint that I put in my shirt pocket for a while for cleaning. Take it out and grab it.
pounding.
It is certainly. this is it This opened my slot.
Gradually, as I concentrated on the stone, my heartbeat calmed down, and I felt the third slot completely settled.
“Thank you, Stone. From now on, you will be Eunseok.”
A gracious stone!
He put Eunseok in the crack of the broken window and sat down on the floor and closed his eyes.
We have already decided what to put in the third slot.
After a short retrospective, the slot was filled.
