1 – 1. The Academy

#1

Sunrise Academy.

It is the largest academic city in the world located on the Korean Peninsula. It is also called a place of craftsmanship where unsalted gemstones, praised as geniuses and giraffes from all over the country, gather in one place to compete and polish themselves.

It is not an exaggeration to say that we have excellent faculty, academic environment, and everything we need to raise the best heroes.

There is such a great place in Korea. This is a cliché if it is a cliché in Korean novels. Thanks to that guy’s gukppong, these important things are unconditionally in Korea.

Someone would like to say that the country’s prestige will rise, but from my point of view, it is like a lawless zone where incidents and accidents do not cease. If there is a major accident while staying nearby, the price of the house will drop, so I am reluctant to do so. On the contrary, it is a comfortable place to live because the convenience facilities are all together.

The rules here are simple.

The strong one, the one who overcomes, decides everything. It is a world of absolute strong self-respect and weak meat.

Whether it’s a belief or a dream, you need strength to achieve it. It doesn’t matter if it’s money, personal connections, or force. Prove that you are strong. Use all your might to prove your worth. If you can stand last, you are the one who wins.

Except for the illegal ones that cross the line

Those who live in the 21st century might think it’s a ridiculous school rule, but I think it’s reasonable. This is a common thought not only for me, but also for thick-haired people living in this world.

If that’s not the case, there’s no way such a rule would pass?

If you cross Baekdu Mountain and cross into China right now, there is a place full of monsters. It’s a shame because government soldiers or private company hunters are catching monsters in real time. Otherwise, this place should have become a monster field a long time ago.

In other words, it is a world where you do not know when it will end.

If you don’t want to be treated like dog food by f*ckers, being strong is a must. I don’t f*cking want to come in, but the reason I entered the academy was to meet those conditions.

This world is lax and strict towards the Awakened, so with special exceptions, minors under the age of 18 are strictly prohibited from using magical powers and skills outside of designated areas. If use? He draws a red line without hesitation and is a criminal.

Are you young? Immature? There is nothing like that. In order to prevent inexperienced children from accidentally using magic and skills, the country distributes controllers for free, but did you break through and use them? It is said to be an intentional crime.

You must not abuse your power under any circumstances except for a sudden burst of awakening. If parents defend their children, the parents are also arrested for failing to educate them properly. This world is such a place.

On the contrary, it is possible to practice in a designated area where safety devices and trainees are always deployed. Rather, I highly recommend it. If you get injured during practice, there are facilities where you can recover right away. When exhausted, it supplies nutrients necessary for growth.

Because it is a world where monsters roam obvious, the more talent there is, the better.

In order to deal with the unknown power of ability, you must also take responsibility for it. In short, it says not to enjoy pleasure without responsibility. It’s something I’ve been hearing since I was a kid.

And what I’m listening to right now is a similar context.

Welcome to the academy. You can live your own way, but be smart and be damned. Get stronger if you twist it. I won and you changed the academic policy. Finally, take responsibility for what you do. I don’t have the hobby of taking care of grown-ups who aren’t even my own. I don’t cover cheer up. End

-This was the principal’s words beyond that.

Looking like she just came back from a vacation spot, wearing a straw hat and Aloha T-shirt and dragging her daughter away was art. I admired Aje’s appearance as he roughly waved his hand to the top of the dragon and exited before the narration even started. That guy hasn’t changed at all. So it was more envious.

“I really envy you”

I want to become an adult like that when I grow up. I don’t do anything, but my salary comes in all the time, and no one messes around with it. If something happens, look at the back of him who leaves the clean-up to his subordinates and disappears with nothing to do.

Thinking about it again, I was terribly envious.

The surroundings were buzzing as if they agreed with my thoughts. Maybe if he hadn’t heard the notification in advance that he was the principal, wouldn’t he have shouted at the guards that a man from the neighborhood had come in?

Anyway, the eventful story begins now.

-Cadets, please move to each class according to the guidance. I will tell you again and again. Cadets…

Booung

As soon as I heard the announcement, I felt a vibration in my pocket. This wasn’t just me, but other people too. When I took the device out of my pocket, I found a notification ticket from the academy application that I had installed before entering school.

[Cadets who have checked the contents below, please arrive at the class by 10:00.]

[Name: Jang Shin-woo]

[In-school ranking: 777 / 7884][Anonymized]

[Class: S]

“?”

What is it? I came in with a parachute so as not to get caught up in trouble by deliberately falling apart from the main character, but they put it in the S class? It is said to be weak meat. Can you do this? Aren’t you doing things right? It’s absurd

“Shinwoo! Where are you? Me, S…Up!?”

“Taewoong, shhh. Quietly.”

“Good job. Lily. Come on. Tae-woong, you have to settle down in advance.”

“Huh? Uh…”

The main character who was trying to openly advertise ‘I’m the best’ was surrounded by harem members.

In an instant, I caught a glimpse of them being dragged by both arms like a captured alien. It was the entrance ceremony for me, but there were quite a few teachers left, probably because it was the opening ceremony for other grades. I caught one of them.

“Huh? What?”

“Where is the first grade teacher seat?”

“Uh…it’s over there, but what’s going on?”

Seeing the teacher’s questionable expression as he looked around his neck, I took out a navy blue tie from my pocket and said.

“1St grade?”

I nodded at his words. This is the simplest device for classifying grades. Now, 1st graders are navy blue, 2nd graders are red, 3rd graders are checked, and next year, 1st graders will be checked again.

It can be seen as a formality since the number and other information are written on the electronic student ID anyway.

“Yes, the notice I received was a bit strange, so I wanted to ask something.”

“Aha, I see”

The male teacher, smirking as if he understood everything, approached the woman who was sitting and manipulating the device’s hologram.

Smart

“Professor Yoon?”

“Yes, Mr. Kang”

“I have come this year as well. Hey, the student has something to say.”

“…Ha, I see.”

I slightly narrowed my eyebrows at the conversation between the two, who sighed openly and spoke disrespectfully. At that, the male teacher smiled bitterly and beckoned to me.

“Then I will go first. Second graders fight from the first period.”

“Teacher Kang, thank you for your hard work.”

“Students, first of all, it’s a school rule, so make sure to wear a tie on campus.”

Took

The male teacher who gave me a warning by tapping on the shoulder once at the attendance desk left. She let it go with one glance, and as soon as she closed the distance and arrived at her desk, the woman she called Professor Yoon said to me with a cold expression on her face.

“Yes, I am Yoon Ji-young, who is in charge of the first year. What is your purpose as a cadet?”

Her shoulder-length brown hair and blue eyes. I checked the blue ring on her index finger and opened the device to show the contents of the notification.

“It seems that the notification was not received properly.”

“No. The content of the notice is correct. It is the result of meeting various conditions and has already been decided. Change is impossible.”

But Professor Yoon Ji-young didn’t even look at the contents properly and said glaring at me. Apparently, it seems that the guys who can’t understand her own level are roasted by them. I don’t like being identified with those guys, but I can’t back down either.

If you keep going like this, will you get involved with the main character? That you get caught up in something annoying. This is my life and death.

“That’s why it didn’t go well. It’s a parachute, but it takes S class? Please get off quickly.”

“So, no matter how you say it, I ask you to raise the rating… Yes?”

“Please get off. Rating”

“???”

At my words, Professor Yoon’s face became dull like a dove hit by a baby bomb. It was funny how she checked again and again to make sure what she heard was true. Then, I put on the glasses next to her and began to take a closer look at the device I held out.

Is it simply because you have poor eyesight that you have been frowning at me? When I put on my glasses, my impression softened in an instant.

“Really… Class S… Why?”

“That makes no sense. The ranking is also outside 500 books, so you mean S? I know my subject well.”

She mumbled without replying to my words. The woman who had been staring at the device for a long time suddenly opened her eyes and started looking at my face and the device.

“Jang Shin-woo, Jang Shin-woo… Jang? Dr. Jang from the Exile Project?”

“f*ck?”

At those words, my brow furrowed as a reflex, and swear words burst out.

I heard that here. Was this woman a researcher? Why can’t I remember her name? You have to shut that mouth first. Professor Yoon, who was about to shout something when she opened her mouth, covered her mouth with my hand, and I glared at her and said lowly.

“Code 2.”

“…!!”

At my words, the woman became contemplative and shook her head. Any brain smart enough to know I was in the lab will know what I’m talking about.

The code I mentioned is a kind of signal used by the government. Number 2 means that confidential information has been leaked and should be dealt with.

In other words, if you don’t want to disappear without even knowing mice or birds due to the crime of spreading confidential information, be careful with your mouth. I removed her hand from her mouth and watched her catch her breath and calm down before asking.

“Are you in charge?”

“Yes, yes. First of all, I am an official.”

“But why are you bringing that up outside?”

“…Since last week, the intelligence level has gone down to level 3. The mass-produced test results are all a great success, so the details of the project will be announced soon.”

“Aha”

Then you can understand. The problem is that I didn’t know that, but there’s a high possibility that I was bothered and left the email alone. I watched it a few times, but later it was annoying, so I handed it over to you.

The payment signature was also a hindrance, so I passed it roughly like recognizing a fingerprint on a smartphone, so I guess I really forgot.

This is how the snowball returns. We’ll figure this out later, but that’s not what’s important.

“Then leave it alone. Why am I an S?”

“Conversely, if the doctor is not S, then who is S?”

I slapped my forehead at the woman’s refutation as if it were natural. On the contrary, even the look on his face, as if asking me what the hell is wrong, is very spectacle. f*ck who are you really kidding?

“Is this a laboratory? This is the academy You have to fight well, isn’t it the best place to eat?”

“Uh… First of all, there are research facilities.”

As my brow furrowed even more, the woman closed her eyes tightly and lowered her head to avoid my gaze. How to avoid damage?? Yeah, she should’ve noticed since the academy begged me for admission.

I never thought I would hit the water like this. I sighed. Then, suddenly, a good idea came to my mind. Yes, I am a parachute. Then, even if you are stuck in the lab, you won’t hear a loud voice. It’s better if you go down half a rank because of poor class attitude.

I slammed my knee on a big feature that allowed me to do my job, earn money, and even skip classes legally. Only in your mind, of course. I agreed and nodded my head.

“Really impossible?”

“Yeah, yeah… I can’t either.”

“…I see. Excuse me, Professor.”

“Yes? Yes? No, huh?”

To Professor Yoon Ji-young, who was standing in a daze with an expression of confusion at my sudden change in attitude, I tightened my eyes and pretended to zip up my lips. Then she reflexively nodded her head in agreement, and after confirming that, I left the office.

There were quite a few eyes looking at me, but I tried to ignore them.

‘f*ck… Twisted’

If I go to class S, the main character will attract aggro again, right? Naturally, the attention is focused, and it is obvious that something bothering only me will happen. Measures are needed It’s going to attract aggro anyway, so it’s better to be completely isolated in the other direction.

Having decided on a policy, I nodded.

Okay, let’s go in as late as possible. Things get easier when you go in tight without anyone having a chance to talk. Still, the only thing the teacher would openly shoot me for was to fight me at the rank insignia, so I sat down on the stairs near the classroom so that I could enter right away.

Ttogak

How long was it? I was bored and was thinking about opening the device and searching for data on what I had heard earlier, when I saw someone who seemed to be a teacher coming from the other side.

The two met eyes. It’s not just this rubbing, it’s a little long.

“…?”

Then he narrowed his eyes as if he had seen something strange. Why? What did you put on my face? I brushed my cheek, but nothing caught my hand. Feeling awkward, I greeted them first with an awkward nod, and the other side accepted the greeting as if they didn’t care too much.

…What is it really?

I thought I was going to enter the classroom right away, so I opened the classroom door at the right timing and went in. I thought it would attract a little attention, but for some reason, everyone was lying on their desks exhausted.

What is it? I waved my hand appropriately to the main character who was the only one waving at me, and went to the empty back seat and sat down. Almost at the same time, a woman took her seat at the podium, and the half-dry people began to stand up one by one.

Chin!

“Attention everyone”

Hwaaah!

It wasn’t loud. However, her voice, which was spit out with her magic power, had a strange suction power, and everyone in her classroom looked at her.

“Everyone must have been surprised by the sudden situation.”

At those words, everyone in the classroom either drooled or averted their eyes. There were very few students who looked up at the teacher with confidence. What is it, really, what happened when I wasn’t there?

“Although it is said to be a dummy made of illusion magic and holograms, it was shaped and directed by a first-class illusionist. So it’s okay if you don’t feel so down because you didn’t show the good part.”

This case is not reflected in the test and grades.

With those words, I could roughly understand what had happened. Yes, it is. It is a meritocratic school, but the orientation cannot be ordinary. The main character’s group must have made a spectacular debut in union with their friends.

“My name is Hong Soo-ah. As a former hunter, I would have been better known as [Bong Seon-hwa] To you. I will be teaching you from today, so please take good care of me from now on.”

Everyone clapped at Hong Soo-ah’s words as she lowered her head.

‘[Bongseonhwa] Ra…’

[Bongseonhwa] Means tinnitus. This is not self-proclaimed, but rather a title given by the system. If you build up your reputation and reach a certain number, you will receive the title that suits you the most along the trajectory so far.

As a monster, it’s like being named.

It’s not particularly important. It was just because a chic person said such a thing with a serious attitude, and it caused a lot of cognitive dissonance. It is proof that the water of the previous life has not yet drained.

Okay, so what do we do next? Right class? Or is it dissolution like this? Personally, I wish they would just let it go. First of all, I should shine my face once in the lab and then go straight to the dormitory and rest.

“Everyone knew that a solid combat system was important in an emergency situation today, right? In that sense, please announce your name, occupation, desired position and specialty in order of attendance number.”

I closed my eyes at those words. It was a time for self-introduction. Oh yeah. Self-introduction is good Even if it’s not a novel, anyone who has had a little social life can do it.

“Kim Kang-chan, attendance number 1. My job is a wandering knight, and my desired position is the first half of the avant-garde. His specialty is that he can handle both swords and spears.”

The problem is that this world is completely different from the previous life.

Yeah, you probably noticed that. In this world, a job is not a doctor, prosecutor, or judge, but a person’s ‘vocation’ that is obtained at the same time as awakening.

Because the basis for the development of society itself is concentrated on hunting and hunting, naturally showing off is also different. Unfortunately, that is the standard self-introduction of this life.

After saying hello one by one, it was finally our protagonist’s turn.

“This is Ban Tae-woong, attendance number 17. Her job is an indomitable reverse fighter, and her desired position is a Diltan. I can cut magic with my specialty.”

The reason I decided that he was the main character. That’s because of that job. No matter how unfavorable the situation is, you can find a way to reverse without bending.

Moreover, with [Reverse Counter], A job-specific skill, it even possesses an insane performance that doubles the number of attacks received so far.

After confirming that, I thought that this guy was the main character. In the moment of frustration that no one can win, he stands up and fights without breaking. That’s how you reach the end of the end and return all attacks to win.

“Next”

“Attendance Number 18…”

That’s a surefire technique that only the main characters can do. Perhaps, as the job level rises, more fraudulent skills will emerge.

“Next”

“Chu, attendance number 19…”

If you’re lucky, you might get a good item from the dungeon, or maybe you’ll be favored by a god and receive protection. Because the main character is like that. An existence that grows up through trials and breaks the subsequent power inflation one after another.

“Next”

At Hong Soo-ah’s words, I stood up. The gazes gathered toward me were unpleasant. A gaze that looks at me as if it were judging me. Was there a guy like that among them? There were also people who had doubts.

I let out a short sigh and fight in front of me! He looked at the immature guy with twinkling eyes and said.

Good. All good. Everyone’s attention was focused on me. It’s perfect for making a first impression. I controlled my own mind. I am a body going through puberty now. I am a rebel

It’s f*cking stupid to be reborn in this crazy world regardless of your own will. Do I need to play with you guys? I am definitely a victim. It’s okay to be sad. When I made that promise from the bottom of my heart, a sense of repulsion came out.

It was a rebellious temperament that he had from his previous life.

“Attendance number 20, Jang Shin-woo. My job is an academy cadet and my hobbies are reading and sleeping. Let’s take care of each other so that we don’t bother each other. More”

I sat down as it was.

Jeongmak, the space that had been quite warm until just now became quiet as if a rat had died. No, it went beyond just calmness and became chilly. If there is only one bright thing in that silence, it is none other than our main character.

Clap clap clap!!

The form of vigorously clapping without even noticing was very artistic. The children followed suit later, but Hong Soo-ah was still looking at me.

“Jang Shin-woo. Now, this is a very important position. It’s an opportunity to share information that could be useful for future screenings and team assignments without prejudice. But you kicked it yourself now.”

It was hard. But at the same time, it’s right. Her words are the truth. But I didn’t want to. I answered without averting her eyes.

“At the same time, you are also a future competitor, right?”

At my question, Hong Soo-ah nodded her head. If what she said is the truth, then what I said is also the truth. The only thing she believes in this world is herself. No matter how much school is a microcosm of society, isn’t this an ordinary school?

Everyone is a target to take advantage of at the same time as being suitable. Recognizing this again, those who noticed it began to mumble with sharp expressions.

“Certainly, hiding one’s information is also one of the ways to gain the upper hand in information warfare. It makes sense, but it’s also pessimistic enough to cause cracks in the progress of the class. In the future, there will be people who try to hide or deceive their information in self-introductions. Thanks to the cadets.”

Hong Soo-ah got off her desk and trudged to where I was. Naturally, her gaze began to focus on me. It is full of unpleasant eyes. This is also the result I want.

“However, there is one thing the cadet overlooked. I ordered you to introduce yourself here. Nevertheless, the cadets caused confusion and took uncooperative actions to the point of causing problems with class progress. If this continues, I have no choice but to punish you as an educator.”

Hong Soo-ah gathered her magic again and said.

“Stand up, Jang Shin-woo. And answer straight. The first opportunity should be given to everyone equally.”

“…Is this the doctrine of Gwangilgyo?”

“Yes”

Gwangilgyo. It is a divine organization that exists in this world. To put it simply, the system that gives everyone equal opportunity is the proof and grace of God, and they express their doctrine that Astral, the sun god, not Jesus, is the Lord. In terms of past lives, it can be seen that they are close to Christians. As much as it has the power of the status window, it can actually handle the divine power, which is very different from the previous life and the power it has, but the root is close to it.

It is a name that smells frighteningly fake, but surprisingly, it is a religion trusted by more than 80% of the world’s population. That is why it is so famous, and it is said that it is a religion that is taken for granted.

The first of the doctrines of the Gwangilgyo is ‘the first equal to everyone’.

Since God has given us the grace of a system, it is right for them to give equal grace at first. Therefore, believers of Gwangilgyo place great importance on the first.

To blaspheme or distort it is the same as blasphemy to them, and at the same time it is the same as throwing an arena against them.

So, she’s telling me this now. Do you want to do it right? Or would you like to play with me? I mean.

“Ha”

I laughed out loud. As the atmosphere froze fiercely, the surroundings began to become quiet as well.

I got up from her seat just as she was, and met her gaze with her. My height in her was by no means short, but she and her gaze were similar to mine. The difference between me slightly looking down at her and she slightly looking up at me.

“Is it dissatisfaction?”

I grinned without answering. Slightly narrow the corners of the eyes, lower the eyebrows and raise the corners of the mouth. I expressed satisfaction with the naturally moving facial muscles. I reflected in Hong Soo-ah’s burning dark red eyes, and I was wearing a business smile that seemed like a good person.

“Jang Shin-woo. Summoner. His specialty is speed reading. I love books so much.”

“…Okay, from now on I’ll do it before I go out myself.”

“I got it right. Instructor”

“I am a teacher, not an instructor.”

Is that so? The atmosphere is that of a soldier who has gone through an elite teaching assistant course.

With that last word, Hong Soo-ah turned her back and went back to the teaching table. I also erased my smile and looked at her back with an expressionless expression. Can you do it No, it’s impossible with my current skills. Neither the magic power nor the power is lacking.

Then what can I do? Have to obey Because this is a place where the strong can have everything. As an underdog, I have to be black.

“The atmosphere is messed up, but let’s move on. Next.”

I looked out the window with my chin on my chin, using her voice and the voices of my classmates as BGM.

Damn it, the sunny weather shimmered brightly as if to celebrate our entrance.
