68 – 2. ■■’S Summoner (13)

#68

“It was decided that the midterm exams would be held on an uninhabited island located a short distance from the academy. For details about the schedule and exam, check the distribution on the device.”

After the weekend, the punishment was lifted, and on the morning of the morning ordinance, Hong Soo-ah suddenly dropped a bomb.

A few sighed and booed at the sudden remark, but most of the students started checking their devices as if they were used to life at the academy.

I was closer to the latter. To be precise, the academy was close to that, but it must be similar anyway.

Recalling my thoughts, I chewed over Hong Soo-ah’s words again.

Midterm exams.

Come to think of it, there was such a thing. It seems like it hasn’t been long since I entered school, but if you think about it, it’s because I’ve been missing for a few days.

Sunrise Academy, which has a strong propensity for merit supremacy, tends to think that crises, adversity, and fierce competition make stronger people.

For this reason, the midterm exam, which other academies stop at the stage of verifying skills, is also operated in earnest.

As hard as it is properly, the result is also reflected in the final grade, so it is an opportunity not to be missed for those who want to get good grades and get high points, and those who want to be promoted to a higher class through this test.

It will be less than the final exam, but it will never be ordinary as it is a test decided and conducted at the academy level.

‘It must be annoying.’

It’s a story that I can’t stop talking about. If you check the device, as Hong Soo-ah said, the schedule for the midterm exam and related information were packed.

The explanation was lengthy, but to summarize it simply:

“Survival game, huh.”

Yes, a survival game.

The content itself is simple. Starting next Monday, they will have to live on their own on an uninhabited island prepared for five days.

If you perform a certain action inside the uninhabited island, the action is recorded on the device and scored as points.

Do I have to be stuck on an uninhabited island for five days?

Not even that. If the score exceeds 100 points, the remaining days are ignored and the survival is considered successful, and measures can be taken to escape from the deserted island immediately.

Befitting an uninhabited island remodeled by the academy, several areas are divided, so you can get additional points by solving mysteries or missions in those areas.

The problem is that the area where you can live is getting smaller every day, and the place where you can get the necessities of life is also decreasing accordingly.

I don’t care what means I use, as long as I can survive in the midst of shrinking places and scarce resources.

Since the entire island has the same effect as a special arena located inside the academy, even if you receive fatal damage, you will not die and will be immediately transferred to a cruise waiting near the uninhabited island.

This was possible because it is a place that only operates when there are special events such as midterms or final exams. If it wasn’t for that, I’d have to worry about going bankrupt with just one year of maintenance costs.

In addition, taking advantage of the uniqueness of an island, areas other than specific areas are not managed separately and maintained in their natural state to build a more realistic ecosystem.

Considering all of that, I judged this test to be a survival game itself.

Just looking at the rough parts, it was clear to the eyes that it was not that easy.

However, prior information is given thus far. It must mean that there is something hidden that can be known by arriving at this uninhabited island and moving, or that there is something to the point that no matter how prepared it is, it is meaningless.

It is common sense that open book testing is more difficult.

“You can study survival for the rest of the week. It’s good to have better equipment, and it’s good to develop your own skills. But know this one thing.”

As if to give a warning, Sooah Hong manipulated the device to display a hologram.

“The academy is not a space for nurturing criminals. She says she can do anything, but always keep in mind that there is a line you must not cross.”

It was the scene of various crimes. Some rather brutal scenes were also included, so the cadet with a weak stomach swallowed her breath and turned her head, but Hong Soo-ah’s words forced her to look forward again.

“If you judge that the crime is serious and intentional, keep in mind and keep in mind that the professor at the scene has the right to ask for the crime right on the spot, without warning and without trial.”

Because it is a world where it is taken for granted that non-standard powers such as magic and skills are given to individuals, they are even more sensitive to crime.

This is because the academy has been attacked so many times that it could be called an incident from the outside, and other minor incidents between students have not ceased.

With power comes responsibility.

When you become an Awakener, it is a word that is constantly heard around you, and at the same time, it is a word that is never left out in education.

As there are many privileges to enjoy as an Awakener, you must do what is right for them. That is the duty and role of an awakened person, a person with power.

One of those duties is to take back the land that has been overrun with monsters due to cataclysm and is uninhabitable.

A place to explore unknown lands while dealing with endless monsters and monsters. We call it the ‘front line’.

This is because the relentless bombardment and the feast of battles remind us of a battlefield.

I suspect that this test is to experience a situation similar to the front in advance. There are probably a few other people besides me who have such thoughts.

After that, Hong Soo-ah, who additionally explained a few precautions written on the device, left the classroom at the same time as the paper spit.

“Wow…Is this a true story in the middle?”

“I heard from a senior in the club that if you go to an island, you must always buy something to drink?”

“Really? My older brother who graduated said that food is his top priority.”

In an instant, the classroom became noisy. Based on the information he had picked up somewhere, Ban Tae-woong appeared through the cracks of those who started to bloom by repeating, “This is right or not,” And waved at me.

“Shinwoo. How are you going to spend this week?”

“Dungeon.”

To be honest, getting food or anything is not that difficult for me. If you pick out the things you need for survival and throw them to the Hive, you can store them in the [Everything Store] Skill and take them out whenever you need them.

As for information, once you memorize the information with [Record], You can extract and use only what you need later.

So what I need right now is to strengthen the power of my summons. I spent the whole weekend and put [Magic Field] On, so now all that’s left is to get used to it.

Based on the overwhelming experience, we decided that it was better to focus on skills rather than power leveling, so we changed the direction of training from the middle.

Some of the dungeons were changed to match the level of the lowest summons, so while Vihos and Haze were still at level 5, Ceres’ evolution was just around the corner. It seems that rolling in the dungeon before worked.

My goal right now is to complete the evolution to Haze within a week, and furthermore, to solve the question of the newly acquired [Book of Combination]. If you get information, I think you will be able to get at least a clue.

“Then why don’t you join the survival club experience together? Maybe the news of the midterms had already reached them, but they said that only first-year students could sign up for a one-week temporary period.”

It was a very attractive proposition. This is an option I would have considered if I did not have Hive’s Merchant Skills and had difficulty in procuring food materials.

However, that is a situation when there is no such thing as a story that does not apply to me, who can live in abundance if I set my mind to it.

“Why?”

My honest reaction was this. I can do everything anyway, so I wonder if there is a need to be bothered. More than anything, if you get involved with this guy, 9 out of 10 incidents will happen, so if possible, I don’t want to be with him.

It is absurd to just let go.

You shouldn’t forget that this guy is the main character. No matter how much I refuse or hate it, if it is judged that it helps the main character, the world will do whatever it takes to tie me and Ban Tae-woong together and throw them into the center of the accident.

In that case, it is correct to assume that they will be involved anyway and lead them in a less annoying direction. Just in case, it’s enough even if I don’t get involved.

“It’s obvious that the other half will also be crowded, so it would be better to ask Lucia to learn from an expert instead of getting involved in a complicated place?”

“…Huh? Is it?”

“Yes, there must be one or two people who think like you. It’s better to just hire an expert and learn man-to-man because there are just too many people gathered together and you can’t properly manage and teach.”

The important thing is to make Ban Tae-woong think that my proposal is reasonable.

“Certainly, Shinwoo, you are right. I’ll ask Sia if it’s possible and come back!!”

“Yes.”

I nodded my head knowing that it was already half confirmed.

I don’t know anything else, but it’s certain that some kind of incident will happen in relation to the person hired before the interim. If done well, the heroines might come together.

Usually, we pass through the daily parts before something important happens. It’s like a kind of event that the heroines manage and bond with each other.

When it comes to survival, it’s camping, so I wonder if I’ll go somewhere to play pretending that I’m going to learn basic knowledge on weekdays and experience a proper real battle around the weekend.

‘I hope it has nothing to do with me.’

After getting rid of the trouble, I hit my head on the desk to rest my tired body as usual.

Anyway, what I have to do has been decided.

If there is nothing set in my path, then it is enough for me to become strong in my own way.

As usual, enter the dungeon and release the summoned beast.

I urge a fight in the direction of moderately training my skills, and I watch it quietly or participate in battle to analyze whether there are any gaps, and which direction to combine to be effective.

In order to make sure everything has evolved like this, I stopped leveling up Ceres for a while and focused on the growth of Bijos and Heize.

As I was moderately concentrating on experimentation and growth, time passed by quickly. The problem was that I was completely over the things that would happen over time.

I wonder if it was because I was too concerned with Ban Tae-woong.

“I heard the story! Are you trying to do something fun without me again?!”

I slapped my forehead at the unexpected appearance of an ambush.

“Let’s hang out together too! Oh, don’t worry. I already got your permission!”

As if she didn’t care about my annoying heart, the woman with her platinum hair on top of her head clung to me with a smile as she was already prepared to enjoy the vacation to the fullest.

I sighed as I pushed Lee Serin’s head hard.

Yes, there is one more thing I need to pay attention to in my life besides the damn main character. How could you have ruled out this simple thing and forgotten about it? I’m rusty too really.

‘…f*ck, should I really make up my mind and dig into the dungeon?’

I seriously considered hiding in a field-type dungeon, so I pressed my thumb to the temple that was starting to tingle.
