A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

88 – Midterms (2)

Before we started the battle royale, we should have told you that the midterm period is roughly 4-5 days.

Unlike the last test, which covers all knowledge and survives, the rest of the test is more like writing or reviewing.

And I don’t know the words, but I haven’t finished writing yet. It’s a combat job, not a non-combat job, so even if the notes aren’t important, I’m uncomfortable.

[Explain the theory of magic.]

“··· ···”

I know the theory of magic well. Thanks to Godin’s perfect explanation, I remember everything.

However, the characters of this world, and the common language, are easy to write, but the grammar system is quite difficult.

I’m working hard to use magic, but it’s only been a month. Embarrassing for me

‘······Let’s use it as much as possible for now.’

It’s better than not using it at all. I picked up my pen and squeezed my hair as much as I could.

Wouldn’t they take care of the messy grammar? Besides, writing itself is not important.

‘I skipped everything in Soul World and moved on to Battle Royale.’

Sometimes I was able to recognize that this is not a game, but reality. These were parts that could have been skipped in Soul World.

Since it was impossible to skip, unexpected things popped up. How embarrassing it was every time.

“Okay. I’ll collect everything now. Take your hands off the test papers.”

“·······?”

While I was writing hard, the professor announced the end of the exam. I looked down at the test paper with a puzzled face.

Aside from the fact that the grammar is correct, I haven’t even used it yet. Even some questions were untouched.

Some students also put their hands on the test papers with regretful faces while making a final spurt.

I put my pen down quietly after watching it carefully. I don’t want to get caught up in the book.

“Did you write everything down?”

“No. This exam seems to have failed.”

“Won, why is it so difficult to come out?”

As soon as the test is over, you can hear the music around you. Actually, the test itself is not difficult.

Because these were questions that you could understand if you just listened to the whole class. It’s a case where I’m ruined because I can’t write.

“I wish I could just put this away and move on. I heard it’s only about 10% anyway?”

Kara grumbles as she stretches her body. She, like me, prefers to use her body rather than her head.

I’d rather practice twice more than taking such a minor written test. I am like her too.

“Still, it feels good when you get a high score. Did you finish your sister?”

“I wrote a little and fell down? Did you write everything?”

“I wrote everything. It’s not difficult if you listen to the class well. What about you, Sivar?”

Luna asked me. Kara’s gaze also naturally turned toward me.

I thought about whether I should say this, but I decided to answer honestly. Because it’s not really important anyway.

“I can’t use it all.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know how to write.”

“··· ···”

The expression of Luna and Kara became strange when they answered that they did not know how to read. It’s a face saying what that means.

Once again, speaking and writing are two different things. There are many people in the world who can speak well but cannot write.

“Hmm… Well, maybe that’s the case. It took me months to learn the common language. Luna, you too, right?”

“I took it off after 15 days…”

“······Is it really unlucky to see you sometimes?”

Although Luna sometimes looks like an ice ball, her talent alone is exceptional.

From the application of condensation and craftsmanship to the language ability.

I was able to choose various occupations in Soul World, so it must be because of that.

In addition to wizards, you can also select ‘guru’, one of the occupations of the East. If you see this, you can know that linguistic talent is outstanding.

“Anyway, don’t be too heartbroken. The most important thing is practice. You just have to do well during practice.”

“Practice no matter how you look at it, it seems like discrimination. It’s true that Sivar is strong, but not giving him the right to attack seemed too much.”

Anyway, Kara seems to have regarded me as discriminatory for not having the right to attack. As she is from Tatar, she must have felt the various discriminations personally, so it would be more touching.

It’s for balance, but it’s too severe. It was at the level of forcibly cutting the flesh to reduce the difference in weight class.

But if that’s not the case, she seems to have judged that the balance cannot be struck.

Especially since this test was a battle royale, he must have made that decision.

“It wouldn’t be bad to make everyone give up at this point. It’s best to just leave things like balance. Sivar, don’t you think so too?”

“··· ···”

“Since silence means affirmation, I’ll accept it as knowing.”

I couldn’t answer because I was thinking about something else for a while. I agree anyway, so it doesn’t matter.

Anyway, after the written test, I moved to take the next test. The next test is the first aid method learned from Lee Yeon-hwa.

“Student Sivar will give you a perfect score, so you can leave first.”

“Oh.”

This type of discrimination is welcome.

******

Time passed, and the practice time, which could be called a true midterm exam, approached.

The place where the exam is held is a place with a similar principle to a special sparring arena. Like the academy, it boasted a wide area.

What you see right now is the bare floor, but the environment will change immediately if the test is given. I also saw this in Soul World.

“Everybody is assembled. We’ll have a test soon. The rules are no different from what we said before.”

Marlboro told me the rules again before taking the test.

As in survival practice, wear a specially designed bracelet, and if you pass out, a protective shield is automatically created.

However, the difference from the survival practice is the presence or absence of companions. Even if the shield is activated, it can be dispelled if an ally is nearby.

If you do, you will not be eliminated and you can re-enter the test. Instead, if you pass out too often, you will automatically be eliminated.

If you listen to this far, it will seem like an ordinary battle royale. However, Marlboro’s next words threw the students into confusion.

“Also, with the agreement of the team members, you can start from any place you want. So that we can reach an amicable agreement before entering the test.”

“What does that mean? You can start where you want?”

“Doesn’t that mean you can get into the center from the start?”

It is somewhat confusing, like the whispers of students. The rule that you can start anywhere you want.

In other words, it means that you can start from the very center where the artifact exists. It is a rule that is likely to be controversial in many ways.

But professors are not stupid. Marlboro continued as if he had anticipated this reaction.

“The standard for the center is the center of the magic field, not the center of the test field. And the magic field decreases in a way close to random. The center is based on the last magic field.”

The criterion of the center is not the test site, but the magic field. With just one rule, the whispers quickly disappeared.

As soon as the test starts, run to the center and get the artifact. This is a rule that blocks this strategy in advance.

‘Even if I’m lucky enough to find an artifact, it’s meaningless.’

As I felt during the survival practice, there are many so-called sh*t-eating situations. It bothered me a bit because of that.

Moreover, the magic fields in Battle Royale are randomly assigned each time you play, so even I have to find them one by one.

If you’re going to do this, you might ask why you took the right to attack from me. I’m just saying don’t be fooled.

“Then, so that the team members can come to an agreement. You won’t be assigned outside the magic field, so you shouldn’t worry too much.”

As soon as I heard that, I headed straight for Grace and Yeonju Lee.

Grace is struggling while looking at the paper the professor handed over, and Lee Yeon-joo was standing next to her looking at her paper.

You can tell what kind of paper it is, but it is not a map, it is just a picture with round circles. As I said before, the map must be obtained by going inside.

“Wouldn’t it be better to just place it right in the center from the beginning?”

This is Yeonju Lee’s opinion. As she said, that strategy isn’t bad either.

It seems that Grace also thought that nodding her head was a good way to go.

“That’s good too, but the key is where the magic field decreases. This can only be left to chance… Hmmm…”

Battle Royale has a variety of tactical strategies. First and foremost is survival.

You have to survive to fight or not. Considering this, it is important not to encounter enemies.

Or you can take a strategy of targeting the enemy from the beginning. Because you can gulp the items that the other person has farmed.

“We have to avoid fighting the enemy as much as possible. Sivar doesn’t have the right to attack, so it’s not right.”

Grace tutted and clicked her tongue. One of the various strategies is virtually meaningless.

I didn’t know until now, but it definitely seems to be discrimination. It may be fair, but it is not fair.

“Hmm… Mr. Shibar?”

“Huh?”

“Doesn’t it matter if you don’t fight the enemy, Mr. Sivar?”

“Yes.”

It doesn’t matter. I don’t have the right to attack anyway, so what’s the battle?

After hearing my answer, Grace smiled in satisfaction and then turned her head to Yeonju Lee.

She didn’t say anything, but Lee Yeon-joo nodded her head as if he had read her intentions.

“Okay. You’ll know once you get into the test room, but we’ve decided what we should be aiming for.”

“What is that?”

The strategy Grace devised was very simple.

“Hold on.”

“Yes?”

“It’s endurance. We move along the magic field while others hit and kick and fight.”

It was John Ver.

“Shouldn’t it be okay if I keep holding on and have Sivar pick up the artifact at the last magic field?”

Well. I don’t know if that will be easy.
