chapter 12
A story that only the person concerned does not know (2)
“There are a total of five notable first year students this year.”
“Five?”
“Yes. Three in Mado and two in Martial Arts, I will introduce them one by one.”
All the professors shook their hips at the excitement of seeing a new face in the conference room dedicated to the first-year professors.
Last year, there were two or three notable ones, but this time five.
All the professors, whose eyes were full of aspiration for talent, seemed to be in a good mood.
‘Please, please, never be caught.’
‘I should have done it without anyone knowing… I’m worried that it will be found out.’
No, to be precise, it was the face of all professors except for Guyard and Lee Hwa-ryeong.
The two of them continued to chew their lips with edgy faces, and cast their gazes at the screen in the center of the conference room.
There, a boy with a still young face was smiling awkwardly.
“My name is Woo Do-hyeon, and it seems that he has a natural talent for swords as a martial arts volunteer.”
On the screen, Woo Do-hyun struggled in the beginning of the practical test, but as soon as he grabbed the sword, he turned into a completely different person.
The moment the orc accidentally grabs the dropped sword, the monsters die in vain every time the sword blazes.
One sword.
It was after the troll that Woo Do-hyun, who was constantly cleaning up monsters with just one sword attack, slowed down.
“Cut off the leg and hit the neck before recovering… I didn’t know it would be possible to cut that far with a cheap iron sword.”
“I don’t need to look any further, I think I’ll just have to look at the results. How far have you gone?”
“We even caught an ogre.”
“Okay, so what’s next?”
“This is So-Hyun Yoo. As a mage type, I mainly use water magic…”
Woo Do-hyeon is of unknown origin except for having a natural talent for swords.
Yoo So-hyun, a commoner and self-taught water magician, reached the ogre.
Mi Joo-ran, the princess of the kingdom of Mudanad, a nation that has built itself up by unifying the vast continent into one power.
Velos Velon, the fifth son of the ‘Skeria’ emperor, a noble and overwhelming empire that has existed since time immemorial.
Finally, it is said that it came from the mystery, and even Mayri from the absolute forbidden station ‘Shinmibi’ that outsiders are never allowed to enter.
When the five explanations were finally finished, the professors smiled satisfied and nodded their heads.
“I’m sure it’ll taste good to teach you this year.”
“good.”
“That’s great.”
There is only one reason why they intensively analyze only a few of the 1,523 freshmen, even playing videos.
It was for ranking selection.
The theory test can be converted into scores, but in the case of practical skills, there are many things that cannot be measured simply by combat power.
In particular, in the case of potential, we had to be more careful because we had to measure while watching the process of catching monsters.
In the case of the rest of the prospective cadets, it was necessary to measure according to the absolute evaluation standard, but in their case, the dimension was different.
It was a place to judge the subtle difference that cannot be judged only by absolute evaluation standards.
‘Is it going to pass?’
‘It doesn’t have to be mentioned, because the class to go into is decided anyway, so you just have to calmly move on like this.’
Hwa-ryeong Lee and Guynad actively participated in the selection of ranks and prayed that this moment would end quickly.
It was ideal to set the rank as quickly as possible and to pass the rest according to the absolute evaluation standard.
What if Lee Seok-hyun’s presence caught the attention of those professors?
‘I’ll never just skip it.’
‘Because everyone thinks the same law.’
But the world is fair.
The awl in his pocket was bound to pop out eventually.
“I think I forgot one?”
“yes?”

Just as the meeting was about to begin, the professor in the corner raised his hand to show off his presence.
An explorer who discovered several hidden new continents, made a world map by himself at a young age and internationalized it.
It was Kerar, the representative professor of 1st year affair.
He got up from his seat and walked leisurely to the place where the screen was adjusted, making the sound of his shoes.
The left sleeve was empty and fluttering in the loose-fitting suit, and the luxurious shoes that looked expensive at first glance had torn soles.
Silence spread at the appearance of the smirk, the smiling eyes, and the real geek.
“I said that one of our cadets was missing from a noteworthy cadet. Three in Mado and two in Budo, right now, it only came out like this, right?
“No, that…”
“You may think that I am stubborn. But I handed over the data… Some people seem to have left out the data strangely, so I’m saying this because it’s unfair.”
Kerar pretended to laugh out loud and looked at Lee Hwa-ryeong and Guynad.
Hwa-ryeong Lee and Guy-nad couldn’t meet Kerar’s gaze, and they looked elsewhere and smoked.
“After admitting students through absolute evaluation… I think someone did this to eat quickly when no one coveted them by using their vague rankings… No matter how often I don’t show my face to the academy, it’s hard to leave out talented people.”
“Professor Kerard, what the hell is that…”
“Ah, I’m sorry for interrupting you. I’d like you to look at this material first.”
With a smile on his face, Kerar slowly floated the material onto the screen.
The first screen appeared was a theory test paper, and the answers and solution process on the first page of the test paper were shown.
“…? Did you unravel that?”
“I thought Professor Lee Hwa-ryeong put it in with malicious intent…”
“Artifact, that problem… It’s only coming out of the deepening course of the major.”
However, their eyes widened after a while. The reason is that all the solutions and answers are circled.
It’s a perfect answer that doesn’t make any mistakes as if it doesn’t allow even partial scores.
Kerar did not end here, but played the practical test video one after another.
“Huh, did you just see it? It took only 25 seconds to catch an orc party.”
“You fully understand the behavior of a war wolf.”
“Did you catch the troll now? Barely? Did you do that crazy thing by plucking out the eyebrows and cutting off the brain?”
Admiration and astonishment erupted one after another, but as soon as the ogre appeared, they all stopped talking.
There were times when I wondered if it was really possible to contain my desperate will in the virtual space of a practical test.
The question of being able to show a side of not giving up in a place where you don’t really die.
That was the moment when it was cleared up.
The first thing the cadets did upon seeing the ogre was to manipulate the terrain rather than panic.
“It looks like a wire coming out of that hand… I’ve been running all over the forest to make one case with that one, waiting for my bridge to trip over between the trees.”
“Have you ever seen an ogre change his behavior as soon as he’s hit? He’s so patient with his pain.”
If a leg is broken, it moves by throwing a spider’s web, and continues to attack even when it feels like an arm is about to be ripped off.
The mindset that if you don’t have teeth, you’ll die with a single scratch, even if you give them bones and take the flesh.
It was not at the level of fighting spirit that a 17-year-old could see.
“I fell.”
“Does that make sense?”
Thirty minutes later, the cadet collapsed.
But he did not fall alone.
The ogre looked exhausted and collapsed, staring blankly at his severed ankle.
“I ran away for 30 minutes and only attacked my left ankle, no matter how tough the leather is, if I keep attacking it, there will be a gap in the end.”
“Even though I knew I was going to fail the test, I would have left such a result even though I knew it was a fictional existence anyway…”
ruined.
Guynad and Lee Hwa-ryeong bowed their heads with a sad expression on their faces.
In order to prevent this from happening, it was an ugly act of deliberately omitting data.
Everything was destroyed by Kerar’s actions.
‘Lee Seok-hyun is special in a different way.’
‘Now it’s out of my hands.’
Why did they try to hide Lee Seok-hyun like this?
That’s right.
“I haven’t used mana yet, and it doesn’t seem like I’ve ever learned martial arts anywhere. If that’s the case, it can be seen that it hasn’t been polished yet.”
“Then, wouldn’t it be right for me to do it? I can say that I’ve seen first-year cadets here for the longest time.”
“Uh-huh, sh*t has up and down, so how are you going to set it up that way? Of course, here…”
This is because Lee Seok-hyun is in a pure state that he has never really learned anything.
The aforementioned five people had their path decided to some extent.
Taking So-Hyun Yoo as an example, she was determined to go to magic, and it was obvious that she would major in water magic.
So it was interesting and special, but it wasn’t a perfect gemstone.
On the other hand, how about Lee Seok-hyun?
When catching the ogre, even though there were several life-threatening threats, he did not bring out a special number.
In other words, it meant that the undiscovered potential was boiling over.
What if a child with that level of talent chooses his/her major and becomes a master disciple? The professors, who were immersed in such imagination, opened their mouths with happy smiles.
No, I tried to open it.
match! match! match!
“Why do you think I showed you this?”
Kerar continued to speak, calming the noisy conference hall with the sound of applause like cannon balls.
“I showed this in advance to see if something like this would happen. I chose to have an affair because I haven’t found any talent yet. I’m sure you can change your choice when you meet us… You have to become my best disciple, isn’t there something like this? It’s not an earnest request… I just want to downplay it.”
He slowly placed his smiling eyes in the middle and gave a deep smile.
“Lee Seok-hyun is an affair, and I will take charge of it. I will not take any objection as it has already been approved by the chairman.”
Kerar smiled harmoniously and took out the appointment letter he had in his arms and showed it to the professors.
creepy.
Facing Kerar’s hidden emotions, the professors chuckled and calmed their breathing.
In the midst of a friendly meeting room, it quickly cooled and turned into a freezer.
“Then let’s do the ranking selection again? I’ve always wanted to participate. Thank you.”
Only Kerar smirked again and moved cheerfully.
Seok-Hyun Lee.
It was a moment when that name was firmly engraved on the heads of all first-year professors.
++++++++++++++++++++++
“Student! Student! Here! Here!”
“My underwear already arrived? It’s very fast.”
“No, not that! Notice of acceptance!”
are you here already? It’s very fast.
I was lying on the bed relaxedly, then suddenly got up at the words of the innkeeper.
The exam was on Monday and today is Saturday.
It was a very short time for tracking and deducing hundreds of thousands of students.
These parts did not come out of the game, so it was fun to learn one by one.
Thumb thump.
After tearing the three-layer seal and bleed to complete identity verification, the acceptance letter appeared in the envelope.
‘Of course I’ll pass.’
Contrary to the peaceful words he spoke, his hands were trembling.
I took a deep breath and slowly opened the acceptance letter.
“Huh… huh?”
There’s the word “Successful” on it.
The signs of being ranked 6th in the overall ranking were placed side by side.
‘What did I do?’
For the first time in the history of Lee Seok-hyun’s play.
An emergency has occurred.
