8 – Episode 3. Rank test.

<1>

I have achieved my goal of receiving attention from Mr. Joo Joo-young.

In addition, he even received a recruiting offer, so it was an excellent result. But she couldn’t get into the special department right away.

It’s good to go into the specialty department. Because there is no place to develop her potential with the power of Joo Si-young and to imprint my importance on her.

However, it is necessary to develop the minimum force. Suisei and Baek So-so are among the most ‘demure’ characters in Legend of Academia.

Not to mention Suisei, Baeksoso also has a bad mouthing habit, but the essence is very kind. Otherwise, he might have already been beaten bloody on her first meeting.

In short, among the characters entering the special department, the ratio of students with good character and students with a little bit of taste is 50%. She said that there are people with broken personality who wouldn’t even pretend to listen if it wasn’t for Joo Si-young’s words.

At the age when I’m full-blooded, I have a low skill level, so it’s easy to look down on me. I don’t intend to be treated kindly, but Lee Shi-hyeok’s ability is not very good for direct combat.

In short, it means that you need a little time to get stronger. I can’t do it with my abilities, so in this case I’ll have to train my body.

And I know one person who is more expert in that field than anyone else.

Baeksoso is emptying the bowl in front of his eyes.

“Where does it all go?”

“That word. It’s very rude to a girl, senpai.”

A white cow stares at me with ax eyes. However, it’s not at all threatening if you look at it like that while eating waguwagu with a bowl in one hand.

“Ehh, since it’s me in the first place, I’m putting up with such harsh words from seniors.”

“Are you stressed about anything?”

“……”

Baek Soso didn’t answer and poured the food into her stomach, covering her face with a bowl.

It seems like a character with gluttony attributes. Quite a few food fighters don’t even seem to be able to hold out a business card.

“Mister, here’s another mapo tofu!”

“One mapo tofu. I get it!”

I’ve eaten three bowls so far, so if I eat mapo tofu, it’s four bowls. Normally, it seems to be moderate to two bowls, but it seems that something is going on.

A short break before the food is served. Soso sighed as she set the bowl aside, then lay down on her desk with her arms outstretched.

“Aren’t you worried about seniors?”

“What?”

“Rating test, rating test! It’s just next week.”

Oh yes, there was such a thing.

“Oh, I forgot.”

“There is something else to forget! This is more important than the midterm and final exams at Academia.”

That’s right… Me?

To be honest, I don’t remember very well. Some characters were bothered by the ability test… Maybe?

But from the player’s point of view, if you just give them experience points and break through the limit, it’s because the level of ability is to go up.

The initial settings and growth limits were important, but it is only natural that there was little interest in the intermediate process, the test.

“Well… If you’re a senior, you shouldn’t worry.”

Baek Soso nodded her head up and down as if she was suddenly aware.

I felt strangely uncomfortable with the sudden reaction. I don’t know if it’s Suisei, but did I do anything to give him such trust?

“It’s convenient if you’re a loser who’s interested in the skill level. Even if you look at the senior, it’s about an E grade Ayayayaya! Why are you hitting me! He said he would endure it three times!”

Baeksoso held onto his reddened forehead and wept.

“This is the third time.”

“Then shouldn’t I hit you next time?”

“And not an E grade, but a D grade.”

“That or that, what’s the difference, I’m afraid it’s not a D grade, I think I’m a little student.”

“Once.”

“Okay! Got it!”

A white cow rubbing his forehead while grumbling. Whatever the case, the two of us became quite close over the course of a week.

Inwardly, Baeksoso seems to be enjoying this kind of tiki-taka. It won’t be my delusion. Baek So-so is a character that was originally set up that way.

In the first place, Baek So-so is the successor to the one-person martial art called ‘Biyeon-ryu’. If he had the heart to dodge or counterattack, he would have done so already.

Anyway, it’s a skill test.

Clearly, the evaluation conditions were the output of ability, application ability, and development potential. Then why was Lee Si-hyeok in D grade?

Even if he says that it is an output, it has enough potential for application and development. Even if it is known that he can amplify other abilities….No.

At least as long as the owner of this ability is Lee Si-hyeok, that won’t happen.

Lee Si-hyeok’s original personality can be seen just by looking at his hair style like the main character of Miyeon.

In other words, it is a gloomy asshole.

He hadn’t made any friends in school for a year, and he didn’t pretend to know anyone.

It would have been virtually impossible to find someone to help Lee Si-hyuk with the test.

It is also questionable whether Lee Si-hyeok was aware of the colorless element’s ability to ‘amplify’ in the first place. Even in Leoa’s story, Lee Shi-hyeok’s role is not that great.

All the scenes appearing are consumed as gag characters such as a guy with no presence or a grim guy.

If that’s the case, then Lee Si-hyeok couldn’t figure out exactly what kind of ability he had.

Maybe you don’t have to borrow the power of Baeksoso.

If my guess is right, maybe…

“What do you think?”

“Just. I’m thinking of raising the level a bit.”

“Senior, you didn’t eat anything wrong. Whoa, it’s spicy.”

Baek So-so was already eating the served mapo tofu. The tip of my nose turned red and a drop or two of tears formed, but I put a spoonful into my mouth.

As expected, she looks like a woman with a guts stat of 17.

“If the ability level was that easy to raise in the first place, the senior would not be D-class. Do you know how much effort I put in to get from D to B?”

“Awesome. Great job.”

“hehehehe thank you.. Not this. Anyway, skill level doesn’t go up that easily. Especially as you get older. It’s common sense.”

Is that so?

As a gamer, I know the character’s personality and background story to some extent. However, those words that Baek So-so occasionally brings up are not stored in my head as common sense.

Maybe it’s the difference between me as a teacher as a player and students living in the real world.

“I don’t know if it’s that level of aiming for S rank. It’s impossible for a senior.”

Hundred cows triumphantly sticking out her meager breasts.

Summarizing the way Baek So-so has lived so far, her achievements, and the future I know, she is fully qualified to say such a thing.

Because she is the one who will leave the first achievement in Academia by raising her ability from D-class to S-class.

“In the first place, senior. Seniors tend to look down on me too much. If we were in the same grade and at the same school, seniors wouldn’t be able to talk to me? In the first place, the class is different.”

… But apart from that, annoying is annoying.

As a former bullsh*t bullying faction, it would be more appropriate for that guy to be downcast and downtrodden than to talk so excitedly.

“Shall we make a bet then?”

“A bet?”

<2>

‘It can’t be.’

Baek So-so muttered to herself as she changed her clothes into her gym clothes in her dressing room.

‘In the first place, it’s possible that your abilities improve as you set your mindset, even when you’re in elementary school.’

Even that, one level is the limit. Even if you become a middle school student there, even that doesn’t happen.

It takes several months or years of painstaking effort before you can climb a single flight of stairs. To that extent, there is a high wall between each level.

In the first year of middle school, Baek So-so, who had risen from grade D to grade B, was asked to be covered by the newspaper as a genius.

So Baek So-so didn’t even think about losing the bet. In the first place, the condition itself that the senior who was pissed off didn’t make sense.

“Two ranks at once.”

That was the condition set by the senior, Lee Shi-hyeok.

“Two ranks? Soso, you’re aiming for S rank this time!”

“Don’t eavesdrop on yourself, Elena. And there’s no way that’s possible.”

“That is also true. No matter how much our Soso is a genius, that’s unreasonable.”

“It’s not like he’s a genius.”

“Yes, yes, ogoo-gu. Our cow.”

Helena stroked Baeksoso’s head as if she was cute. Originally from Russia, Elena was a taller classmate who was two heads taller than Baek Suso, and she was Baek Suso’s best friend.

“What is the grade?”

“Yes. C grade again. Ah, sorry, if only a little more output came out.”

“You said the same thing last year.”

“Is that so? I can’t remember.”

Our Soso has a good memory! Elena tousled her hair. Even though Baek So-so put on an annoyed expression, he did not refuse the touch.

“Don’t be nervous, Soso. ‘Cause you’ve tried hard enough There will be consequences.”

“… I wish it was.”

“Cheer up. Soso.”

After Elena said that, she patted the white cow on the back.

“Ouch.”

“Break it all down!”

Elena clenches her fists and lands an uppercut at her in the air.

Seeing such a scene, Baek So-so smiled and closed his eyes.

Concentrate your mind and control your breathing.

He does the best he can. Whatever the outcome, just accept it. Even if it’s the same again, it’s because it’s enough to try again.

“Next! Attendance number 24.”

“Yes!”

Baek So-so put on a spirit and entered the test site.

That day. Baek So-so finally crossed the A-grade wall.

She is a girl who has risen three ranks in two years. Although it was a topic, Baek So-so’s work was not talked about very much.
