＜[Title] Why are there so many assholes in the academy???＞
(A picture of a green frog chasing after angrily holding a knife)
Are they idiots??? Did you turn around??? Why the f*ck are you protesting in favor of the opposition law???
What part of that sh*tty unit system did they protest and block it???
ㅅㅂ I never thought they would just introduce the metric system and then end up overturning it.
I don’t understand anything from beginning to end.
(Anonymous 1) [Fact]
(Anonymous 2) [In the first place, if you had a normal brain, would you come to the academy that was terrorized? hahahaha]
(Anonymous 3) [There are too many idiots who think they are in government positions.]
┗ (Anonymous 3) [If everyone else uses the metric system and a lot of people use the metric system unofficially, they should just change to that. What kind of stubbornness is this?]
┗ (Anonymous 3) [I almost got screwed during a battle not long ago because the unit system was off. Why on earth are you trying to maintain this?]
┗ (Anonymous 3) [Dixie bastards ㄹㅇ I don’t understand. Honestly, isn’t it normal to think that things need to change at this point?]
┗ (Anonymous 4) [Looks like no one died last time, so they just think it doesn’t matter.]
(Anonymous 5) [American Life is so spicy]
(Anonymous 6) [Honestly, the yard-pound law seems to be responsible for about half of the worsening quality of life at the Academy…….]
(Anonymous 7) [I think there is no way to do this unless American hunters take the lead.]
┗ (Anonymous 8) [This time, they encouraged me to change it, so I tried to change it to the metric system.]
┗ (Anonymous 8) [But it was overthrown because some suspicious civic groups and cadets opposed it…….]
┗ (Anonymous 7) [Ah]
＜[Title] If you feel like you’re preparing for the exam, you’re screwed hahahaha＞
(A picture of a green frog tying a rope in sadness)
First of all, me lol.
(Anonymous 1) [Oops hahahahaha]
(Anonymous 2) [LOL]
(Anonymous 3) [Why is it so difficult to wash?]
┗ (Anonymous 3) [Even though it is a similar university, it is a place where hardworking kids gather, so why is it so hardcore?]
┗ (Anonymous 3) [I seriously feel like it will be more difficult than university]
┗ (Anonymous 4) [It is true that it is more difficult than university ㅇㅇ]
┗ (Anonymous 6) [That’s because the difficulty level of the exam has increased significantly since the terrorist attacks… ….]
┗ (Anonymous 8) [As the practice environment is decreasing, an official letter was sent to increase the difficulty level of writing to improve discrimination skills. There is nothing I can do about this.]
(Anonymous 4) [I really want to kill the president hahahaha]
(Anonymous 5) [If you ask me to take a test with this level of difficulty for 4 years, I honestly don’t think I can do it hahahaha;;;]
┗ (Anonymous 5) [I have to prepare written and practical skills as well as combat training, but there is not enough time]
┗ (Anonymous 5) [I feel like they will continue to do poorly on exams unless they prepare in advance and enter the school]
┗ (Anonymous 6) [ㄹㅇ ㅇㅈㅇㅈ]
＜[Title] Seriously, it seems like the kids who were mobilized to Chareltea at the beginning of the semester are the winners＞
(Picture of a map showing the location of Shin Mokguk)
You can earn credits and money just by maintaining security and hunting monsters in Shareltea.
It is even recognized as experience, so isn’t that a good idea for getting a job right after graduation?
I don’t know if I will do it next semester or not, but it will definitely be a loss if I don’t do it when a position becomes available next semester.
(Anonymous 1) [Yes, it is unconditional loss ㅇㅇ]
(Anonymous 2) [It’s not the front line anyway, it’s just maintaining security, hunting, and doing odd jobs in the rear…….]
(Anonymous 3) [Could I apply for this from the 3rd year?]
┗ (Anonymous 5) [ㄴㄴ Originally, it was limited to 4th grade applicants, later a large number of 4th graders were convened through a random draw, and then, due to insufficient performance, only 3rd grade applicants with excellent grades were forced to convene.]
┗ (Anonymous 5) [As a result, there is a lot of talk in the field that it is just a rule of thumb. Like some fascists, they exploit students and soldiers.]
┗ (Anonymous 4) [It’s just normal in Korea.]
┗ (Anonymous 6) [I don’t think it goes to the extent of sounding fascist?]
┗ (Anonymous 7) [↑↑↑Slaves are talking]
┗ (Anonymous 5) [Anyway, starting next semester, there will be no forced convocation, but only applicants from all grades will be recruited?]
┗ (Anonymous 8) [One vote for the crazy competition]
(Anonymous 4) [When the professor asks if I want to do it, I just accept it and go. I really regret it]
＜[Title] Is there any way to skip next semester?＞
(List of companies confirmed to participate in security maintenance and monster hunting)
It seems like not only the academy but also companies and guilds are recruiting people to participate.
Is there a way to participate to get credits recognized by taking a detour or linking together?
(Anonymous 1) [Why? Can’t I just apply to the academy and go?]
┗ (Author) [I think this will give me more experience and money than the academy, so I’m thinking of taking a leave of absence if possible.]
┗ (Author) [And personally, looking at the current state of the academy, I think taking a leave of absence is the answer.]
┗ (Anonymous 3) [Honestly, the academy is not in the best shape right now. Other places are worse, so I just go there.]
(Anonymous 2) [Wouldn’t companies select them separately in connection with the academy in the future?]
┗ (Anonymous 2) [It’s not a guild, but companies often do it together with the academy…….]
(Anonymous 4) [But is that a Korean company? I don’t think I can participate because it’s only a foreign company.]
┗ (Anonymous 5) [There is only one Korean company, Nartica. But aren’t they famous for ruining the hunter field?]
┗ (Anonymous 6) [Recently, there has been a lot of investment and acquisitions here and there, so the situation has improved a lot.]
┗ (Anonymous 7) [Don’t believe what he says. [She is famous for Narticapa.]
(Anonymous 8) [After a quick search, I heard that a person named Kang Xian is in charge of this dispatch…… Is he famous?]
┗ (Anonymous 9) [First time hearing this]
┗ (Anonymous 10) [Huh? Jiang Xian? Is this the one who appeared in the last magazine?]

Thankfully, nothing much happened as the day passed.
Food did not suddenly lose its taste, and ingredients did not spoil unexpectedly.
Of course, the dish I made that evening was a success.
It tasted good enough, and the making process was also simple.
Although the main ingredients were fixed and could not be changed, the secondary ingredients were not like that at all.
All of them were things that could be obtained from nature.
Because the ingredients were fresh and arrived recently, the taste was both wonderful and natural.
It was perfect for a lecture on survival cooking.
“Hmm~”
This is cooking!
Who would dare criticize this!
I was confident.
This dish will be just as good as the last time.
I headed to the classroom and cooking room, armed with ingredients and various spices to combat the foul smell and taste of blood.
As I entered, I noticed cadets who looked very nervous.
As I walked and looked around, everything felt similar.
You can just bake it plain, stir-fry it plain, or use ingredients that don’t fit the concept of survival cooking.
In fact, number 3 was the most common.
It seemed like they had no idea how to get rid of the taste and smell.
But what can we do?
The professor chose the main ingredient called fire drake.
“Well, I guess it’s easy.”
It was a somewhat comical sight.
Unlike them, I prepared the dish properly, so it felt as easy as eating a macaron while lying down.
It was a time when I was looking forward to such a brilliant future.
The sound of footsteps was heard and Ines appeared from behind.
“Hello… ….”
“Huh? “What’s wrong with your face?”
Nuntaengi Bamtaengi.
The appearance of a big fight hinting that something difficult was going on.
I looked at Ines, who was trying hard to pretend it was not a big deal.
I approached her with genuine concern, but she waved her hand as if she was okay.
“How on earth is this okay? No, did you get hit in the back too?”
“It’s okay. So you don’t need to worry too much.”
“No, how can you not care about this?”
It also felt like I had a big fight with someone.
She thought about who she might fight with, but nothing came to mind.
“I heard you were busy yesterday. What on earth have you been doing? “What happened to me to end up like this?”
It shouldn’t be a difficult task.
It shouldn’t be a mistake.
The attempt to guide the main character on the right path could have ended in vain.
That never worked.
“Don’t be embarrassed and speak honestly.”
“…… “I didn’t get hit.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“Huh?”
“This is just how I ended up trying to screw others over.”
I was trying to screw you and it ended up like this.
What on earth is so bad that they do something like this?
No matter how you look at this, it was not like feeding taffy, but rather it was like eating taffy together with the other person.
Her pride was so strong that she was just pretending that she had screwed up her efforts.
“I’m going crazy, what on earth should I do…” … ! No, please show me your palms right now.”
I still had something to order.
If even her hand had been injured, there would have been no greater tragedy.
Unfortunately, such predictions always turned out to be true.
The back of my hand was full of wounds.
Because my palms weren’t like that, it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t cook.
But it was clear that the cooking itself was slow.
“Be honest. “What on earth have you been doing?”
I needed to know exactly what happened and to what extent I was injured so I could revise my plan.
I grabbed Ines’ both shoulders and asked her firmly.
At the same time, he glared at her as if he were going to shoot lasers from her eyes.
Ines avoided her gaze with a mixture of embarrassment and irritation.
“Well, that…” … I participated in the protest yesterday…….”
Words spoken carefully.
And exactly 5 seconds later, I plunged my fist into her lower abdomen.
“hehehehe!”
“What? Demonstration? “Are you kidding me?”
It may seem like an overreaction, but I had no choice but to do so.
When it comes to protests that took place yesterday, the only one I found out about was through the internet.
A large-scale protest by masochistic Americans who cannot even live their daily lives without being abused by the Yard Pound Act.
The only protests were against the introduction of the metric system and in favor of the imperial pound system.
Of course, the likelihood that Ines would agree to the introduction of the metric system was less likely than the likelihood that discriminators would end discrimination.
Even if she wasn’t, she always showed her love for the yard and pound method.
If I had participated in the protest, I would have participated.
It was safe to say that she had no reason to participate in the pro-democracy protests.
“Kkiing, whining…” ….”
“Ha, acting pitiful.”
I was diligently checking the cooking yesterday, but they were actually making a protest that didn’t work!
A protest to protect the Yard Pound Act, which can be said to be a piece of sh*t that the British cannot get rid of!
Regardless of whether it existed or not, this was an act that could have been done out of thin air.
I selfishly helped her stand up even though her exam was right under her nose.
“Kkiheu…… Why…… Ugh… ….”
“The reason I didn’t catch you yesterday was because I thought I had something important to do! But is this how you repay my favor?!”
“Ah, ah! My wrist…… !”
I expressed my pain.
Her dark-skinned face gradually turned red.
I couldn’t help but spin around and my pupils flipped over.
A little bit of her saliva dribbled out of the corner of her mouth as she was unable to swallow it.
The condition was clearly getting worse.
Is that why I felt someone else’s hand touch my shoulder?
“Isn’t that too harsh?”
An Englishman with a devil’s tail and horns.
She looked back and forth between me and Inez with a very disgusted expression.
“I don’t know what he did wrong, but it doesn’t look good to be like this on exam day.”
“Huh, huh, huh…” ….”
Not only her but others also had similar views.
She seemed to be asking whether it was necessary to do this on the day of the exam.
I don’t know about other people, but for me, it was something I had to do.
I participated in such a worthy protest, so it was only natural.
“It wouldn’t be at the level of talking behind someone’s back, so there wouldn’t be a need to go to this length.”
“Oh, that’s it. “I just found out that he participated in the protest in favor of the Yard Pound Act.”
“…… ?”
Her and all the other cadets’ expressions changed.
Soon, a look of irritation and hatred at the inconvenience fell on Ines.
“What a crazy b*tch!”
“Wait a minute, then what happened to introducing SI units? Did you really fall down?”
“No, what? Protests in favor of the Yard and Pound Act?”
“Is it because it is a marriage within the Dixie clan? “It seems like the brain has no intelligence.”
“Huh? “Why did you only hit me once?”
The cadets with pillars of fire rising from their eyes.
The British people right in front of us had the same reaction.
“…… I can’t believe you did such a heinous thing. “Can I also hit you just once?”
She glanced at Inez and gave her a disdainful look.
It was a very natural reaction, not to mention common sense, as a civilized person who worships SI units.
Then, the attitude of taking care of everything until the exam started came from all over the place.
Using that attitude as a stepping stone, I loosened my grip for the first time in a while to help Ines come to her senses.
Ddu-duk-duk.
Patta is the answer to a crazy dog.
It was inevitable as there was no medicine to cure the sick beyond the eight provinces of Joseon and across the five oceans and six continents.
“Sleep, wait a minute…” … ! “I’ll explain everything”
“Go!!!”
There is no negotiation with cultists.
That was common sense based on the international standard (ISO 80000).
Not long after, a soft yet squishy sensation enveloped my hand.
If there is one thing that is unfortunate, it is that Ines Corseiro’s depression continued even after the cooking test.
