Midterm (2)
“It’s true.”
After school, when I return to the dormitory and check the date, it is already next week’s exam. ····Time is faster than you think. A lot has happened in the meantime, so that’s okay.
When I realized that it had been a while since I had been here, the feeling was new.
‘Once the layer is like that, it would be impossible to return immediately.’
The creation of new classes is, of course, on hold. Then I had to go up to A-class as my original goal. The promotion exam, which comes every two months, is after the midterm exam, so you can get the qualification based on this grade ranking.
‘I can’t help it. Shall we start right away?’
After a long time, I sat at my desk and opened the first page of a thick book. And after 5 minutes, I realized it.
····I can’t eat this at all.
He closed the book and sighed. It’s not that I don’t have the brain to study. Because I maintained my grades to a certain extent in order to dispel the pitiful gaze that is pouring in for trying to become a pro gamer in real life.
But it’s not like Korean or math, it’s like ‘Introduction to Magical Science’ or ‘Gate History’ is a test.
‘I can see why lectures like Chessul are not popular.’
It’s useless, but it’s because it doesn’t help your theoretical grades at all. Lectures are optional, but the test subjects that are reflected in the theoretical grades are fixed.
I later found out that this strange system is in consideration for aspiring heroes who don’t have any problems without taking theory classes, and want to take more practical classes—.
…and stupidly I didn’t know that.
‘no. You didn’t even tell me the scope of the test in the first place.’
It is unfair. If I had informed you earlier, I would have studied in advance.
Just in case you didn’t know, I went into a chat room that I hadn’t been to recently. Since the alarm was off, I didn’t even check, so I already had 300 multipliers piled up. Ignoring gossip, I glanced from the most recent chat to the past.
About two weeks ago, I was able to find a long flick.
[Lee Dae-soo: Announcement of test range──]
did it
Whoa! Just then, the phone rang and the phone started ringing. The name on the screen was Ellen Aiden.
“Uh, what’s going on? Aiden.”
[-ha···. Aren’t you coming to workout today? When are you coming?]
When I answered the phone, I heard a tired voice. I think I’m working out hard today.
“Haha. You sound immature. What kind of exercise do you do when the exam is just around the corner…”
oh By the way, Aiden is doing well in her studies. If I ask you to teach, will you teach me?
[-no. Jihan told me to exercise, but I can’t do it with him…!]
“Aiden. Could you teach me to study?”
Then, as soon as he answered, a voice that seemed to be pathetic was heard.
[-The exam is just around the corner, but what do you teach me now?]
That’s right. it is a theory Because this is not a subject that is difficult to study for a while…
For a moment, only the sound of breathing could be heard over the phone, and then Aiden spoke cautiously.
[-There is a genealogy, but…]
“Huh. Then even that…!”
[-By the way, it’s probably useless because it’s completely changed this time.]
oh···. Hearing those words, the heart that was filled with anticipation quickly subsides. His disappointment was even greater as he felt the sensation of rising and falling in an instant.
“…Okay. I’ll just cut it off.”
As I tried to hang up, Aiden called out urgently.
[-Now, wait a minute! What about that elixir?]
“Elixir? She has a water bottle hanging from her neck, so you can take it out and drink it later.”
[-What is that…!]
drop. I’m sorry, but every second was wasted, so I hung up the phone right away.
Whoa, I can’t help it It’s been a long time since I’ve seriously studied. Cramming is my specialty.
“…then let’s start cleaning the room first.”
In order to focus, the environment around you must be clean.
“Ahaha. Luckily, it all came out of my studies…”
Ufia Gran is talking while guessing the answers in front of her friends. She is also a devotee of Grand. I am so lucky to believe in God.
…I was obviously triggered by an unfortunate random encounter.
‘How did you not get anything out of memorized…? Fuck.’
After ruining the morning theory test, despair and helplessness come at the same time. He was so nervous, that during the test, his ‘strong mind’, which had not appeared even in battle, was activated.
But apart from being calm, you can’t solve what you don’t know. I couldn’t even take a picture. I don’t think it’s too much for the exam questions to be all narrative rather than multiple choice.
‘still···.’
I looked around quietly. Fortunately, the first test that came out after the water change was more difficult than expected, so everyone had a dark expression on their faces. There must have been some guys who always studied genealogy, so it would have been more difficult.
haha. it’s sam
Now the afternoon schedule is a practical training test. There is no lunch break, and each test is conducted according to a tight schedule. Because I don’t know exactly when it will end, so I had to take care of myself.
I set up my seat to go because it was the next time. At that time, Ryu Seo-yeon, already carrying a bag, came to my seat. For some reason, his expression was dark.
I asked Ryu Seo-yeon secretly, just in case.
“How did you do on the exam?”
“Haha… it’s ruined.”
“okay???”
Then, Ryu Seo-yeon looked at my expression and frowned slightly.
“Do you feel any better?”
Oops. Facial expression management. I coughed and said
“Hmm. It’s because of my mood. How many times have I not seen you?”
“Uh…. I couldn’t answer both of the narrative forms.”
Is this cheating now? No one could fill two.
I forcibly lifted the corners of my hardened lips.
“Haha… I didn’t see it.”
“Do you think you’re perfect this time too?”
Ryu Seo-yeon asks as if envious. ···Clearly ‘Seo Ji-han’, it was because this child was always in the middle of the B class because it was perfect.
“maybe···?”
Ryu Seo-yeon gave an admiring expression to my awkward answer. A little bit of her heart ached.
“Wow. Even though he lost his memory, his hair still looks good. But Jae-Yoo Hong didn’t come out today, do you know why he doesn’t?”
As Ryu Seo-yeon said, Hong Jae-yu’s seat was empty today. I really don’t know what’s wrong with not coming to the exam.
“I don’t know. I don’t even have her number. Well, I’ll figure it out. When’s your next exam?”
“I’m a little late, so I’m going to eat first. Are you Baro?”
“Uh. So I have to go now.”
“Yeah. Good luck on the exam!”
With the encouragement of Seo-yeon Ryu, I ate the bread I bought in advance and headed to the exam room. The hallways were bustling with students.
okay. Even if the theory has been tampered with, you can make up for it in something else. I checked the admission ticket I received.
‘My test is…’
1st grade auditorium? As I walked diligently, from outside the auditorium, aspiring heroes were preparing to eat or do mind training.
When they passed through them and entered the auditorium, several dungeons had already been built inside. Like Jenna Walkers did in the past, a virtual dungeon was created using space-based magic.
‘I must have been the second dungeon.’
It was not difficult to find because the number was written on a sign in front of each dungeon. I quickly found the location of the dungeon to be tested and headed for it.
There were already many people waiting in line. When I looked at the faces of the guys who were assigned the same dungeon, I saw a few guys from the same class as well.
After waiting in line for a while, it was 1:00 PM, when the test started. The new instructor who stood guarding the dungeon started explaining exactly on time.
“Then I will explain how the test proceeds. The test is very simple. The first person to enter the dungeon and get the Mana Stone within the set time gets a full score. At that moment, the test ends. The ranking is decided.”
It’s simple. It is said that if you only get 1st place, you get a perfect score.
“Getting mana stones is not always the answer, so think strategically. Since monsters appear inside, there are also points for defeating them.”
Is there a monster roaming in the dungeon this time too? Choi Ye-chan also had a memory of going through high school. Even if the same thing happens now, no problem. Unlike back then, he has grown a lot and now his weapons are good.
However, as if the explanation had not yet been completed, the instructor pointed to another place and said.
“In order to conduct the test fairly, each weapon must be returned. If you enter the dungeon and search, you will find the weapon, so you can use it to take the test.”
. . . grunt. Then yes. You don’t usually care, but you care about fairness in exams. I grunted and put the engine blades and assault wolf in the locker.
As the other guys returned their personal weapons and lined up again, the instructor said.
“Then the time limit is 60 minutes from now. The remaining time is 30 minutes, 15 minutes, 5 minutes. And it will ring in the dungeon in 1 minute. Enter now!”
At the instructor’s words, they began to enter the dungeon in turn from the front row. As soon as it was my turn and I entered the dungeon, I felt my body moving.
It was dark when I opened my eyes. I immediately focused my mana on my eyes and opened my eyes. It feels like a cave. There were no torches hanging on the wall, so it was difficult to secure visibility. It’s a little scary to be quiet without a sound.
‘If you search around, you said there are weapons.’
I searched all around and eventually found a shield hidden nearby.
‘Maybe this is a weapon…’
nope Surely there will be something else. I turned away from the shield and looked around more. However, no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find anything more to be called a weapon.
nothing really happens The only thing I could pick up right now was the shield, so I had no choice but to listen. It was an ordinary shield made of iron with simple sentences drawn on it.
[Teaching Shield]
[A moderately useful shield supplied by the Meteor Academy. There is no special function.]
I put it on my forearm and approached the wall of the dungeon. If it is a manastone, you can find it by [under Essence Investigation].
However, even if I looked for it with my eyes wide open, I could not find it because the flow of mana that made up the dungeon was obstructed. It seems that the level of the trait is still low enough to read the flow in such detail.
‘Although there is still one enhancement of the privilege left.’
I’m not even sure it can be done by strengthening it, and it’s a bit wasteful to use it here.
‘Then let’s go to the right first.’
The moment you come out of that wide passage.
[Special. 23 – The effect of ‘Shield Master’ is activated.]
[Increasing and correcting related abilities when using a shield, but increasing and correcting by 50% when simultaneously activating the ‘Weapon’ perk]
As an emerging perk, I reflexively raised the shield.
Kaang! Immediately, a heavy impact came to the shield. someone has attacked what? is it a monster?
“···Ah. It’s definitely a shield.”
When I heard a human voice, I knew it wasn’t a monster.
I lowered my shield a little and checked my face. They were competitors who entered the same dungeon. Besides, they are familiar faces. I can’t remember the names, but they were definitely Hong Jae-yu’s stingrays.
“…what are we going to do. You guys?”
“Can’t you see?”
Bloody! What came back to my question was a single arrow. The arrow was again blocked by the shield and fell powerlessly.
“Ttt. If it was a sword, it would have already been sharpened, but it’s an unfamiliar bow.”
I see two people. It seems that the two are planning to go around as a pair. There is no law that says not to form a team, so there is no problem.
I shouted with my shield still up.
“Don’t waste time needlessly, go?”
“I don’t like it? Because this is a personal feeling apart from the exam.”
“What bullshit. What I did to you guys…”
there must be
I kept my mouth shut without speaking. But as if he had already heard the end, he said with annoyance.
“You’re even brazen now. Do you know how disgusting it is to be a bastard that’s hanging out with class A these days? You’ve never done anything, and you’ve been stealing all the balls. What? You catch the instructor?”
“Hey. Calm down. Everyone else has to go down anyway, so let’s finish it quickly and let’s go.”
There must be a way As he said, there was no need to search for the Manastone in a hurry, he was able to find it effortlessly by defeating all the others first.
The moment I realized it, the system floated in front of my eyes.
[Sub Quest: Overwhelming 1st place!]
[Condition – Defeat at least 5 competitors and claim the Manastone]
[Reward: Choose 1 among strength, agility, and stamina stats – 1 rank increase]
I read the quest and quietly lowered the shield.
“What, did you give up because you were afraid?”
“No… I like it.”
He touched the edge of the shield. It’s definitely made of iron, so it’s heavy. If this is…
“Ha. It’s boring again.”
He spoke leisurely and reached for the quiver behind him.
Aiming for that moment, I grabbed the edge of the shield and threw it with my legs outstretched. Kaang! The shield, which flew at high speed, made a heavy sound from afar.
it’s hit
“Huh? Huh??”
Perhaps he didn’t think he was going to throw the shield, so the guy behind him made a bewildered voice. He then took turns looking at me and the guy who had fallen, then turned around and started running away.
[1/5]
‘Well. Is the count coming out kindly?’
I relaxed looking at the back of the guy running away. There was no need to rush.
Catch it soon anyway
