chapter 8
8 – Ranking Test (1)
-Yin-Yang Reverse Delay is activated!
A sense of exhilaration that automatically flows into the body at the same time as the light coming through the window.
Automatically, vitality springs up in the body.
‘At least I don’t have to struggle getting up in the morning…’
I’m glad. Waking up every morning and going to school was the hardest thing when I was in school.
..Are you lucky?
After that, I wash my face and put on my school uniform.
“School uniforms…”
“Huh? Why?”
“No.. It’s just a new feeling.”
The academy school uniform has a basic white semi-formal feel with black, blue, and red accents.
Black is martial arts, blue is crafting, and red is tactics.
Neneto stretches his arms upwards as if he is still very tired.
“Huh… Do I have to wake up at this time every day from now on..?”
“What can I do? I need to get used to it.”
I headed to the dormitory cafeteria on the first floor with Neneto.
Waiting tables and seats divided by grade.
Bread. Rice, meat, and even dessert were generously listed.
‘Oh, it’s a buffet, what should I eat?’
I don’t have much appetite in the morning.
I grabbed some soup and some bread and sat down.
Likewise, while having a meal with Neneto, who seems to have no appetite, he brought only a piece of cake and was scribbling..
“Huh? Isn’t that Neneto? Neneto!”
A high decibel voice coming from somewhere.
When I turn my head, all I see is a plate…. Lots of meat piled on top.
‘No…. Eating all of that?’
Boom!
I can’t believe it’s the sound of putting a plate.
After that, a woman sat next to Neneto.
“Whew! Thank God! Eating alone was lonely!”
“… Bella?”
She has short, shoulder-length brown hair tied back in a ponytail.
Glittering brown eyes and playful lips.
And brown canine ears on top of his head.
The eyes of the woman who was exchanging brief greetings with Neneto met mine.
“Huh? Hi! Neneto roommate?”
“Uh. Yes, I’ve been sharing the same room as Neneto since yesterday.”
“Nice to meet you! I’m Bella! Neneto and I are like childhood friends!”
Let’s hold Bella’s hand as she extends her hand with a broad smile
She waved her hand up and down her bouncing her.
A character full of energy like this is a bit tired…
“I am Lai, please take good care of me..”
“… Stop Bella. Stop bothering my roommate.”
“Something’s bothering me when I say hello!”
Pouting her mouth, Bella took her seat and picked up her meat and began to nibble.
He eats very well.
“..Why did you come alone for breakfast? Your roommate?”
“Wasn’t this guy abandoned because he was a nuisance?”
“No! My roommate said… Well… She doesn’t eat breakfast!”
“…Was really abandoned.”
“Because it’s not!”
The quiet dining table became quite noisy.
This isn’t bad either.
Bella, who was inhaling her meat as if hiding her crab eyes, quickly emptied her plate and opened her mouth.
“Come to think of it, what class is Rai in?”
“Rye is class A.”
“Wow really? Me and Neneto are in class A too! What class are you talking about?”
“It’s martial arts.”
“I’m also majoring in martial arts!! That’s great! Let’s be friends from now on!”
“That. Yes.”
“Don’t bother my roommate.”
“No, they’re classmates! We’ll see each other often anyway, so it’s good if we get to know each other in advance!”
Bella… In the novel, she is mentioned a little as a childhood friend who lives near Neneto’s tribe.
But it wasn’t a character that had that much weight…
Of course, there is no doubt that he is a character with considerable potential just by being in Class A.
Anyway, after the meal, the three entered the academy.
Woong-goo-go-go.
Everyone seems quite excited, probably because it’s the first day.
A scene that reminds me of the first day of my first year of high school.
Class 1 C. I passed Class B and stood in front of the door to Class A.
A large entrance consisting of two doors.
As I opened the door and entered, the scenery inside the classroom was reflected.
They each made a group and sat down and talked about this and that.
It still looks like the tribes are united.
If there is something unique, it is the different school uniform designs.
The class distribution at Merhem Academy was a bit unique.
We form one class by equally distributing students from martial arts, tactical, and production departments in one class.
A ‘common class’ run by the homeroom professor that the entire class listens to together.
And ‘Department classes’ divided into Martial Arts, Tactics, and Production departments.
Lastly, the classes are divided into ‘tribal classes’ to learn about the characteristics and magic of each race.
The evaluation is said to be statistics by integrating the grades of the three classes.
When they arrived at the classroom, Bella and Neneto smiled a little bitterly, said see you later, and walked over to the group of beastmen.
‘Then now I…’
Those drooping vampires clustered in the shade in the corner of the classroom.
Although you can resist it to some extent, waking up in the morning and continuously bathing in the light won’t be pleasant.
On the way to a corner where you can even feel the darkness.
A familiar voice stopped my steps.
“Hello? Did you sleep well?”
It was Selina sitting by the window, basking in the light.
“The bed was so soft that I had a good night’s sleep.”
“Whoops. The academy dormitory is definitely of a high standard. Oh, is the seat next to me empty?”
Vampires usually try to avoid light as much as possible.
As expected, the mid-boss. It seems that it is not greatly affected by light due to its considerable level of realization.
“Oh. Excuse me.”
I suggested it, but it would be rude to refuse it. And I also prefer sitting in the light.
Anyway, it’s fortunate.
One problem…
“Wahhahahaha! So! I never thought we would meet like this…”
It is right next to the beast tribe group.
‘…Noisy.’
I understand. A situation where they reunite with old friends in an unfamiliar place called the academy and start their school life together.
It must be exciting.
‘What. Still, it’s nice to be like kids..’
If not now, when will you be so innocent with your friends?
After graduating from school and thrown out into society, it is hard to see each other’s faces because of each other’s circumstances.
It is a privilege only now to be able to laugh and chat without thinking like that.
But the problem is.
“Waaah! No, don’t push!”
Bella’s body, which was exceptionally loud, was staggered by her friend’s prank.
“Uh…Ugh!”
As Bella fell, she bumped into a human boy standing next to her.
-Kudangtang!
“Ugh… I told you not to push… Ugh… Mi. Sorry! Are you okay? You fell because of me. Didn’t you hurt yourself?”
As soon as Bella got up, she held out her hand, embarrassed by the boy who had fallen.
But on the other side of the fall, Bella snapped off her outstretched hand. She dusted herself off and opened her mouth.
“Ha…. sh*t…. This is why the beasts ..”
“…What?”
The atmosphere instantly became chilly.
Racial discriminatory remarks that are almost taboo in the academy.
Dark green hair and ferocious eyes.
And even that sloppy tone.
‘Shinjonggil’
It’s a new way.
Shin Jong-gil’s personality is so twisted that he is in charge of the trouble maker in Class A.
As the first human with human blood, he is the youngest son of a famous spearman of ‘Earth’.
I feel a crush on Yoon Mi-rae, who entered the school together, so the position is soggy.
Ignoring the stiff atmosphere, Shin Jong-gil opened his mouth.
“Are you here to play? Don’t you know that beasts are polite?”
“… I’m sorry, but isn’t that a bit harsh?”
“Aren’t you in a position to be forgiven if you’ve done something wrong? If you’re going to glare right away for saying something a little thick, why do you do something wrong in the first place?”
… The atmosphere is overheating than I thought?
It was then.
“Shin Jong-gil. Stop it.”
A cold soft voice from the back of Sinjong-gil.
Sit on the chair in front of Shin Jong-gil.
A woman with dark hair tied in a side ponytail
She was staring at Shin Jong-gil with expressionless black eyes.
‘Then she must be Yoon Mirae.’
Only Yoon Mi-rae can suppress Shin Jong-gil.
A leading conglomerate in the dimension ‘Earth’. The only daughter of ‘YH Group’.
Yoon Mirae opened her mouth.
“It’s time to start the ordinance soon. Don’t cause trouble.”
“After…”
… Be careful.
Shin Jong-gil glared at his Bella and snarled, then quietly sat down.
At the same time
Kikki-
The door opened and a male professor entered.
Slightly messy black hair and red eyes.
Dark circles that sit down under the eyes.
“Have a seat.”
‘Huh.? Originally, Class A’s homeroom teacher must have been a human woman…?’
The story unfolds differently from the novel.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Bergen. I will be the homeroom teacher of Class 1 A from now on. Originally, I wasn’t the homeroom teacher of Class A, but…”
Professor Bergen’s eyes glared at me once.
“It seems like there’s a problem child among the freshmen this time. I’m a vampire, so I’m in charge.”
…Problems?
‘The development has changed.’
The story hasn’t even started in earnest yet, but variables are emerging.
No matter how much the word ‘butterfly effect’ is said,
My existence alone is already affecting me like this…? Didn’t even start?
‘..It’s okay.’
Still, the degree to which the homeroom professor changes is not a big variable.
It is not a hindrance to preventing future events, but rather it may be helpful.
“Originally, on the first day of school, self-introduction is the rule…”
Drreuk-
Bergen continued her words as he lowered the blackboard.
“Academy’s self-introduction is not trivial to introduce one’s name or background.”
Tak. Tak Tak.
Bergen wrote something out loud on her blackboard with chalk.
-Ranking test.
“You have to introduce your ‘ability’ at the academy.”
Academy’s first battle event.
It was the beginning of the ‘ranking test’.
