chapter 4
Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 4
“Huh… Ugh.”
It was almost late.
Panting for breath, he hurriedly sat down in the back seat of the classroom. At the same time, the eyes of the guys who were sitting in advance were focused on me.
If I had known that today was the first day of school, I would have come a little faster.
I unintentionally pulled aggro properly.
Well, I was locked up in an unknown cave and almost died, so even if I knew, it wouldn’t have worked my way.
He quickly shook his head and leaned his back on a hard chair.
A human being who is not the main character, but receives the spotlight as much as the main character.
That was me.
A blatant roar could be heard in my ears.
“He… Isn’t it Hanshiha?”
“Right?”
“I guess that’s right?”
sound.
“How did that kid get promoted?”
“Did you come out with a good prayer?”
“Weren’t you under grades?”
Such interest was expected.
I shrugged my shoulders and looked at him casually.
Probably because they were in danger of being kicked out of a school that was neglected as expected.
Was it the money shoved into the back of the family, or did you see the slightest possibility from the overwhelming magical powers? He must have barely survived the first year on the recommendation of the professors.
It’s a one-time thing too, so you can’t wish for good luck in your second year.
I didn’t want to be eaten in haste.
I took some time to look around.
A wooden blackboard and well-manicured desks.
I rolled my eyes for a moment in the atmosphere that embodies the worldview in the original, where modern and medieval are subtly mixed.
With this beggar body.
What should I do to survive on such a luxurious and bloody stage?
There were so many things to think about to just admire.
Take your time, but don’t be lazy.
“Leave it alone, won’t you fail the opening exam?”
“eww… Are you sure you won’t be assigned to the same class?”
“Shouldn’t we go to the program section?”
“I can’t even get close to that and I think I’ll be eliminated immediately.”
Given the circumstances indicated by those bullshit, it seemed that the 2nd year start exam to decide the course was not far away,
First of all, my top priority is organized into two things.
First, survive.
Second, graduating from school.
Although the Ardel Academy was the scene of bloody competition, I had to graduate here.
why?
I have to eat to live.
No matter how much he was born in a wealthy family, Si-ha Han was a piece of junk, but he was thrown out of the family due to his countless trolls.
If I failed while playing Tangja Taengja, I would probably be kicked out of my family without even getting a bone.
Don’t expect help from your family.
On the contrary, one diploma will give you a solid meal.
Ardel Academy graduates are talented enough to welcome them with open arms in almost any place.
Falling into an unfamiliar world, from my point of view, it’s like a profession I don’t want to let go of… I needed to get my diploma safely, even if I managed to avoid failing somehow.
Instead of getting entangled with the main characters and getting involved in their war.
Very quiet.
please be quiet
While living like that, she cuts off the number of cases in which Han Si-ha dies.
“Why did he die?”
I patted the desk with my fingers and muttered softly.
A line from Sulka Demi flashed through my mind.
It’s true that Siha Han chooses only bad things and dies.
That’s right.
There’s definitely something wrong with making a decision like that.
“I think you should be careful.”
‘Let’s live carefully’ has been added as a passive to ‘Let’s live quietly’.
Because I still don’t know exactly why, why, or why Han Shi-ha is going to die.
It was necessary to grasp the variables of the rice cakes that were not solved in the original work that had been around for a year.
The reason for rolling your head that doesn’t work properly is simple.
“… .”
I don’t want to die.
Selfish, violent, and even incompetent.
A third-class villain extra is buried alive in excruciating pain.
I’d rather die from overwork twice, but I didn’t want to face that kind of death.
I gently raised my head.
The sound of the professor’s shoes echoed in the hallway.
Bump.
The door to the classroom opened.
* * *
“Hello, Professor!”
A strange intimidation that concentrates the students at the same time as they appear.
The professor in a angular suit and an artificial atmosphere to the extent that his gait seemed unnatural, headed to the classroom table.
The smile on his lips was infinitely calm. Even that felt very artificial.
It’s such a unique outfit with dark blue hair. It looks like a British gentleman in the Middle Ages.
Sharp eyes that looked as if not a drop of blood would come out even if they were stabbed with a needle.
There was one person who swung.
“Aren’t you Professor Grint?”
“That’s right. He said he was very picky.”
“Looking at you coming here today, are you in charge of the second year?”
“Wow… That’s not a test joke.”
That’s right, Professor Grint of the Department of Magic.
It just looks complicated, but it is actually the case.
Rather than the real character itself being evil… .
He loved his students so much that he was greedy… ?
The difficulty of the test is quite high and it is not a joke, so the main character Lee Han was also one of the professors who stuck out his tongue.
Even in the original version, it seems that person gave the entrance exam.
“Sleep, focus.”
A low-pitched voice made the students shut their mouths at once.
bum bum.
Professor Grint stood in the middle of the table with the sound of his shoes.
“These promotions are pretty good.”
“… .”
“I found your promotion material very interesting. I can see students who have already excelled… .”
word by word. A voice of happiness followed.
Yeah, of course not.
The writer must have poured in the leading characters in that grade.
However, the high standards of this school year have never been good news for me.
That’s why it sounds like my position is being changed from time to time.
Ardel Academy, where students of all ages, from 14 to 19, are enrolled, is a six-year program and is famous for its rigorous curriculum.
This was just a school, but it was nothing more than a bloody survival arena.
Of these many students, at most, only about a tenth can graduate from here safely with meaningful grades.
It was said that the higher the level of my competitors, the smaller my place would be.
“It’s terribly tight.”
nope.
How are you supposed to compete with the leading role?
According to the original story, the darkened Han Si-ha grew up at a fast pace and was aiming for the position of a villain in the beginning, but it is difficult in reality to live quietly and not look hateful to them.
Purely, without using shortcuts, you have to be strong.
It’s as tough as surviving.
Professor Grint’s calm voice continued.
“Of course, there were many students who did not meet the standards.”
Hmmm.
Professor Grint’s gaze subtly turned towards this direction. Then, a cruel word followed.
“From the second year onwards, as you will know, students who do not have ability cannot join.”
Han Si-ha, who nearly failed until the first year, barely managed to survive, but from the second year on, there was no room for words.
The opening exam is right in front of you.
It meant that my degree would be shaken even if it failed.
Well, it wasn’t just aimed at me. More than half of them are going to fail to be promoted to second grade.
I looked around and saw some guys already biting their nails with nervous faces.
Professor Grint turned his gaze away from me and picked up his wand.
“Come on, so. First of all, we will announce the schedule for the opening exam to determine your qualifications.”
I’m afraid to finish speaking.
Paat-.
A vision erupted from the staff that Professor Grint raised.
“this… This?”
There was a lot of noise around.
It was the evaluation method of the opening exam to determine my first survival.
* * *
“uh… uh?”
“Wow, what else is this?”
A magic in the form of a notice.
The announcements of the opening exam were floating in the air like a transparent holographic window.
How complicated was it to create such an elaborate illusion?
It does not show a flat scene. It’s the first time I’ve seen such an elaborate and full notice.
After all, is this the level of Ardel Academy?
It’s a different feeling to see something I’ve only seen in novels like this intuition.
He smiled and began to read the notice quickly.
“Ah, like this… .”
Choose from three subjects that you are confident in.
However, there is a quota for subject selection, so it doesn’t seem like you can see everything you want. Other than that, there didn’t seem to be anything special to worry about.
A notice that seems very ordinary.
However, I swallowed my saliva, knowing that the content of the test would never be ordinary.
Was the first opening exam the most difficult ever?
I remember the writing was pretty good. The moment when I was worried about whether I would be able to play well even though the magical child was close to blank.
Professor Grint’s mouth opened.
“Once the verification is complete, we move on to subject selection. Course selection is on a first-come, first-served basis. However, the order is random.”
pod-.
With a simple gesture from Professor Grint, the notice floating in the air disappeared without a trace.
“… !”
The students rolled their eyes in surprise and turned to Professor Grint.
It is because the difficulty of the opening exam is extremely bad, but it can be said that it is the worst if you get caught in a field you are not confident in.
Because there were many cases of choosing a major while attending Ardel Academy for the past year or even before entering the school.
In fact, around this time, each person was bound to have a certain field of their own.
“please.”
“ah. I wish I didn’t just take the theory.”
“I am a herbalist… .”
“I am not confident in necromancy.”
From students praying with their hands together, to students biting their nails when they are nervous.
Professor Grint looked around and put his hand into the large wooden box.
“… .”
It is definitely advantageous to select subjects quickly.
The eagerly anticipated eyes twinkled towards the wooden box. I also turned my eyes to that.
It was clear that 80% or more of those subjects were subjects that I could not digest now.
I didn’t take a regular course at Ardel Academy, and at the most, all I got was a pen pole in Korea.
There’s no way you can’t properly cast magic or anything in a few weeks in the first place, right?
Luck plays a pretty big part in life.
And, I was pretty lucky.
oh
I wish this wouldn’t have happened now.
So.
I just hoped it would be good this time.
Professor Grint took the ball out of the wooden box with an unreadable expression on his face.
“Well.”
Professor Grint’s eyebrows curved as if he had found something.
A quiet voice spoke slowly.
“The first chance… .”
I remember this scene.
“You are a student Han Si-ha.”
Everyone’s eyes turned to this.
* * *
The first episode of the first semester exam in sophomore year.
I’ve read this scene as text before.
The opening exam with a ruthless level of difficulty.
Still, the fact that I had the decision-making power was a very advantageous situation.
“Have you decided, Han Si-ha student?”
Professor Grint looked at this side with a burdened gaze. I could feel his eyes telling me to make a quick choice and move on.
Other students responded similarly.
“Whatever you do, you won’t be there.”
“I know. You’re just pretending to be worried.”
I’m not thinking about it, I’m reading it. these children
Despite the blatant disregard, he quickly scanned the subject names without being shaken.
[Magic Principle and Experiment]
[Understanding Basic Herbology]
[Healing Management]
Subjects that I can’t even hear are cut like a knife.
“Ugh.”
There are not many subjects that are easy to go to.
Even things that seem easy by the standards of Ardel Academy students are not from my point of view.
It might be better for Han Si-ha to come back and take the test, right?
Even if that kid was a bastard, he passed the entrance exam!
Since I am not yet familiar with the driving of magical power, I passed the subjects centered on actual combat.
Pass the subjects that use the body a lot.
Subjects not mentioned in the original were also passed.
As I went down like that, some familiar subject names began to appear.
[Investigation of Mathematical Sciences and Techniques]
It’s a class name that seems difficult at Hell level. At the time of the first opening exam, it was selected as the only honey subject.
The reason was that it was one of the fields where Professor Grint did not ask the exam questions. It’s a theory subject, so if you study, you’ll be able to do anything.
keep it for now
“Whoa.”
“Choose hydraulics? Didn’t you learn that in first year?”
“Leave it. He said he would lay the floor on his own.”
As it is the first order, the pouring interest is not burdensome. He shrugged his shoulders lightly and looked away.
I know better than anyone that if I can’t choose the other two subjects correctly, I’m in danger of being expelled.
I had to be careful.
If you don’t have the ability, you have to be sure of your strategy.
“Ugh… .”
Let’s see the other two… .
While I was contemplating with my chin clenched, subjects that I was quite attracted to appeared.
uh?
This… is it worth a try?
