111. Interim Evaluation (2)
A few days later.
Deep dawn when everyone is asleep.
Wow─
The mid-term evaluation started very suddenly and without warning.
A pure white magic circle appeared over the bodies of the cadets who were lying on the bed.
The geometric pattern rotated, the clothes I was wearing changed into comfortable sportswear, and the surrounding scenery changed in an instant.
A wide open space with walls on all sides and large glass windows on the left and right.
This was a great magic that happened simultaneously to all first-year cadets at Velvet Academy.
Who could have committed such an absurd act?
‘Who is it, the chairman?’ ….’
Boom! Thud! Thud!
The summoned cadets fell one by one from the air.
They were suddenly caught on their butts on the floor while they were taking a nap, and they looked around in shock, startled by an unfamiliar shock.
“…… Uh, huh!?”
“What!”
“This is…” ….”
“What kind of bastard are you!!!”
The cadets all had embarrassed faces.
‘No one would have expected that the mid-term evaluation would be held so suddenly.’
It was then.
“Jin Yuha!”
I heard an urgent voice calling me from next to me.
When I turned my head, there was Shin Se-hee, hugging a puppy pillow the size of my body.
“How on earth did this happen…?” ….”
She also had a bewildered look on her face, as if she were also distracted by the unexpected situation.
It seems clear that he was summoned without any preparation, but his appearance sparkles.
‘There’s no difference between his raw face and his usual face, right? By the way, dog body pillow… …. ‘Your taste is cuter than I thought.’
After looking at her pillow for a while, Shin Se-hee cleared her throat loudly and hid her pillow behind her body as if she were embarrassed.
But her pillow was so big that the dog stuck its face out over her shoulder.
“It’s an interim evaluation.”
I said with a grin.
“…… Week, midterm evaluation? “I knew the schedule was for tomorrow, but now?”
“It’s past twelve, so it’s today.”
When I spoke in a calm voice, Shin Se-hee widened her eyes as if she had heard something absurd.
All the cadets knew that they would take the midterm evaluation today, but they had no idea how or where the exam would be held.
Of course, it was Chairman Lina who was in charge of the mid-term evaluation.
The mid-term evaluation is conducted in a different way every year, and it was unavoidable because it was a tradition not to tell even the instructors for confidentiality reasons.
‘Of course, I knew.’
Because I remembered the CG screen that appeared as a cut scene in the game,
I was able to understand in advance how this mid-term evaluation would proceed.
For that reason, yesterday, the day before, I waited for the summons while carrying a full backpack.
“…… Jin Yuha, what about that bag?”
Shin Se-hee also opened her eyes and asked if she noticed that my outfit was different from the other cadets.
“Oh, me? At the midterm evaluation tomorrow? Because you don’t know what will come out? You were packing your bags until dawn? Wow! “You got lucky?”
I spoke in an unaffected and natural voice.
Then Shin Se-hee narrowed her eyes and glared at me.
“Are you calling that acting?”
Hmm, my acting tone was perfect. How did you know?
“…… “If you know, please let me know in advance.”
She grumbled with a pouty face as if she was upset.
‘Still, that’s troublesome.’
If you do that, you won’t be suspected.
All the other kids are naked, but Jammin will look suspicious if the kids in our party are the only ones carrying their bags.
Shin Se-hee, who had air in her cheek, sighed softly.
“Still, it’s a good thing. “We have subspace tattoos, and there are things we always carry with us.”
“Umm, I’m sorry…” …. “That won’t work either?”
“Yes?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Check it out.”
When I gestured, Shin Se-hee immediately activated the subspace tattoo on the back of her hand.
Wow.
Dismissal─
However, a tattoo that shines and then fades out.
“Oh, it won’t open! “How did this happen!?”
“If we can use it, only we will benefit too much.”
Chairman Rina wouldn’t have paid attention to such a thing.
It was clear that when summoned here, it was locked so that the subspace tattoo could not be used.
Shin Se-hee tapped the subspace tattoo a few more times as if she couldn’t believe it, then looked helpless.
“…… So, what is the test?”
She asked me, but I didn’t answer.
That’s right, our Jammin will come out soon and explain.
“Has everyone come to their senses?”
Chairman Lina’s voice came from above, asking if a nobleman could not do anything.
Everyone’s heads turned upward.
Chairman Lina floating in the air.
She had a triumphant expression with her arms crossed, like an elementary school student who got 100 points on dictation.
“We will now look at the mid-term evaluation.”
The cadets began to get upset at her declaration.
“Midterm evaluation…… ?”
“This suddenly?”
“I didn’t even get what I had prepared in advance…… !”
Lina frowned at the chaotic atmosphere.
“Quiet! “I’m going to explain now, so everyone just shut up.”
Then the commotion stopped, as if he could hear what she was saying.
“First of all, where you are now is inside the flying boat.”
The cadets quickly turn their heads.
Under the dark windows on both sides, I could see buildings as small as matchboxes.
Taak─
Lina snapped her fingers and her cadets’ heads were forced to face her.
“Then let me explain the test method. Cadets must survive on an uninhabited island for two weeks from today. The evaluation method is very simple. “People who acquire a lot of coins get good grades.”
“How to acquire coins!”
One cadet asked, raising his hand.
“I already tried to explain, so don’t rush me!”
“Yes, yes!”
Frowning, Lina waved her hand, and a large map of the entire uninhabited island appeared in the air.
Then, ten areas with the word SHOP written in red were displayed.
“Here, 10 stores. Here, you can purchase daily necessities needed for life on an uninhabited island with coins. And at the same time, you can exchange coins by selling the magic stones and by-products from hunting monsters.”
Then Shin Se-hee’s expression hardened.
This is because earning coins by hunting monsters was a very advantageous test for dealers.
Lina also added as if she had not forgotten that point.
“Okay, this wouldn’t be fair. Therefore, the basic coin is paid differently for each position. “The dealer costs 50 coins, the tank costs 100 coins, the special costs 500 coins, and the supporter and healer each cost 2000 coins.”
Ah.
Then a light of acceptance appeared in the eyes of the cadets.
“For this mid-term evaluation, parties of up to three people are allowed. Once a party is formed, it cannot be canceled arbitrarily. And fighting between cadets is prohibited for the first week. Instead, I don’t have to say anything about the remaining week. If you succeed in overpowering your opponent, you can obtain 50% of the coins that the opponent had.”
With those words, the cadets looked around and began to search for each other.
I don’t know, but the 2000 coins allocated to healers and supporters must be quite expensive.
You can get good grades by adding a healer or supporter to your party.
You can’t attack each other for the first week, so
Healers and supporters who could purchase daily necessities with coins would be the bosses.
But even they couldn’t just stretch themselves out.
In a week, combat between cadets will be allowed, so in order to guarantee safety, you have to form a party with cadets who will protect you until then.
In other words, this mid-term evaluation was a really important test of who you would form a party with.
“Jin Yu-ha.”
Shin Se-hee, who quickly caught on to that point, called me.
“Yes.”
“Can you party with me?”
“…… I want to do it too. Hmm, will we end up in the same place?”
“Yes?”
“Once we meet, we plan to have a party, but we also have to think about the case where we can’t meet each other. “If we can’t meet after three days, let’s do it with someone else.”
“Oh, we’re not all falling together?”
Shin Se-hee was quick to grasp the meaning and asked back.
I nodded slightly.
“Then, from now on, we will send each person to a deserted island one by one.”
Wow─
The new form of a cadet in front of her became blurry and disappeared from his seat.
It must have landed somewhere on an uninhabited island.
At that time, Lina’s eyes were fixed on me.
“…… Jin Yuha, you said that.”
When she saw the backpack I was carrying on my back, she opened her mouth in bewilderment.
“Oh, what about me?”
I tried to repeat the same excuse I gave to Shin Se-hee earlier, but
“…… Jin Yu-ha, I think it would be best for you to just keep your mouth shut.”
Next to her, Shin Se-hee poked her side and whispered in a low voice.
Well, it seemed like the world wasn’t ready to accept my acting skills yet.
“Seolhee again…… ! “I guess they told me to pack everything in advance because I don’t know what might happen!”
When I kept my mouth shut, Chairman Lina, perhaps mistaken for a good thing, shouted in a boiling voice.
“Jin Yuha, are there any blades or weapons in there? Or things like magic stones or food…… !”
“No, there is none.”
Lina glared at my bag.
It looks like they are checking to see if anything is caught inside.
But since I had already removed everything that could be of concern to Chairman Rina, I proudly opened her breasts.
After rechecking several times, Lina quietly closed her eyes.
“Ha. Really. What on earth is this guy so worried about? … !”
She went on a rampage, but whatever.
Even if Jammin grinds his teeth, he is still Jammin.
“Go down and throw it away!”
I was summoned to a deserted island with my bag.
