chapter 13
So why the hell am I…?
on the day of the entrance ceremony.
“Is he in sixth place?”
“Huh, what did you do to rank 6th? Guman looks no different from us.”
“Yeah, you look normal, but what are you hiding?”
As soon as you arrive at the auditorium where the entrance ceremony will be held, you can hear the whispers as if you had promised.
It was not that such a backstory was incomprehensible. Compared to the 1st to 5th places, I must look so shabby.
I have to say that I don’t feel anything special, but the only thing that sets me apart from others is that my hands are wrapped in bandages.
However, since it doesn’t feel much energy, it was an evaluation mode of ‘what are you so good at?’
‘I don’t understand either.’
Mirinae Academy was famous for being very strict and objective in its evaluation.
In the distant past, there is a famous anecdote that went to the brink of war while trying to put pressure on the Crown Prince’s donation admission in the Skeria Empire.
He was sincere in the selection of ranks, and that is why it was called an absolute indicator.
Evaluators say that it is the result of a comprehensive evaluation of several factors, not just combat power, but people tend to only hear what they want to hear.
For this reason, it was safe to say that the ranking in Mirinae Academy from generation to generation indicates the ranking of combat power.
In other words, it was officially announced that I was ranked 6th in first-year combat power.
‘Why can’t I use the main skill and have only one sub skill…?’
In the first year, it is common for upper-class people such as children of nobles to develop their potential early, so that most of them are distributed in the upper ranks.
There were very few cases where commoners were at the top of the list, and a case like Yoo So-hyun was truly a very rare case.
In a nutshell, something is very special or it has to be, so why the hell am I in 6th place without showing it properly?
As I was having such a question, a loud voice resounded in the auditorium.
“Ah, the Academy Entrance Ceremony will begin in a little while. Everyone, please hurry up and take your seats.”
The act of not even introducing who you are, not showing your appearance, and just spitting out words.
It’s not that loud, and it’s a quiet sound, so some people probably didn’t hear it.
The auditorium, which had been noisy for a while due to my appearance, suddenly becomes quiet and everyone begins to sit in their seats.
The order of seating was in order of grades, as was the merit-oriented Mirinae Academy.
‘You look at them like this…’
The colorful main character line of the Padde was unfolded sequentially, followed by Woo Do-hyun, May-ri, Velos Bellon, Mi-ju-ran, and Yu So-hyun.
In the case of Yoo So-hyun, I saw it once, and the rest were really different.
In particular, in the case of Woo Do-hyun, it felt like a genuine protagonist who was openly pushed by the foundation, so I got a little more attached to it.
‘Even if I was possessed by Woo Do-hyun’s body instead of Lee Seok-hyun…’
The introduction should have ended right away, and before we got into the main body, we must have been moving according to the perfect upbringing plan.
Even if I only went into the body of Velos, who looked like he was anxious to show it, he wouldn’t have had to do the sh*t show that caught the troll with his bare body.
It was already decided and time could not be turned back, so all I could do right now was to accept the reality with a bitter expression.
“Oh, hello.”
“hi.”
As I was thinking about this and that, Yoo So-hyun suddenly spoke to me.
It’s nice to have someone next to me who I don’t know anyone around, but I’ve seen their face on the day of the entrance exam.
‘The unfamiliar setting is still there.’
If you’re next to her, she knows that you’re the same age, but she deliberately raises her words and speaks.
It was a character that was well mixed with the subtle setting of being shy and timid but determined.
In particular, I was timid and couldn’t speak confidently, but that was the part where I spoke ‘because I had determination’.
“Did you do well on the exam?”
“I haven’t seen you before.”
“Oh, no, I never meant that… I’m sorry.”
“It’s a joke, a joke.”
Through Yoo So-hyun, I could see that the personality of the main character set in the foundation and the actual personality were not very different.
In any case, it would have been a pain in the butt to have to take into account variables that were completely unexpected, but I was very fortunate.
After that, I waited for the entrance ceremony while talking with Yoo So-hyun, a story that was not very nutritious, and finally.
“Then let’s start the entrance ceremony from now on.”
He appeared with the word that the entrance ceremony was about to begin.
Contrary to their mid-thirties appearance, clothes with an antique taste stand out.
Shoes and coats that are presumed to have been designed several hundred years ago, and even a cane embossed with a dragon.
It looked exactly the same as what I saw on my computer screen.
‘He’s better in real life than graphics.’
The person who founded the Mirinae Academy and who still holds the position of chairman, Perto Laper.
From rumors of dragons to descendants of ancient giants, etc.
No one knew exactly who he was, and one thing was certain: he was on the human side.
‘I mean, I don’t know.’
Although I had been doing foundation for a long time, that was how I played Lee Seok-hyun for a long time, and Lee Seok-hyun was not a character who entered the academy well, so I had no choice but to know.
Still, I didn’t have to worry about the back of my head when I saw him sometimes appear in the big main story and give a lot of help.
“Ah… First of all, congratulations on your admission. But we can’t keep this joy down. Our ultimate goal is to annihilate the demons. The very moment we truly drive them out of this land and wipe them all out, we will I will continue to carry joy. Until then, always instead of joy! You must go to Mirinae Academy with a sense of mission and a sense of improvement.”
A polite yet solemn tone that cannot be considered an entrance ceremony.
Even the professors behind Perto were looking straight at us one by one with serious faces without a single smile.
‘Because it’s so important.’
mine.
It is the main enemy of Final Destiny and must be annihilated from this world.
Those who are human but not human, who have given up on being human and are intoxicated with violence and greed.
The final boss <Fate of Despair>, which I fought to see the lost ending, was also the result of Main’s call.
Their purpose was to rule the world and manipulate them according to their will, a goal that would be set by third-rate villains.
‘The execution power is very excessive.’
They really do not choose any means and methods to achieve that goal, so they can be seen as very crazy.
In order to kill people who get in the way of their goals, it is basic to kidnap and kill people around them.
In order to kill the target, a bomb is installed on the infant’s body and used as a weapon, etc.
They were garbage that saw the value of life lighter than stones on the street.
“There will be difficulties while learning many things at the academy. Whenever that happens, you may feel a desire to go on an easy path. You may want to climb up even after stepping on others. I hope.”
The reason Perto said so much was because the way to become a Magician was so simple.
The demons are everywhere, and in order to expand their power, they have not stopped their missionary work.
A method of conciliation by intentionally approaching a person in difficult situation and giving them the power to solve the situation immediately.
This sounds light-hearted in words, but in reality it is not.
‘Once you become a Magician… you can’t know until you use your powers because you look just like a human.’
He was no different from a human, except that his eyes turned black when he used his power.
To put it simply, it was a powerful armed group, but it felt like a proper mix of pseudo-religion.
‘It’s like the eyes because it’s a way to infuse power by contaminating the main skill… but it’s still unknown at this point.’
I compared what I know with what is now known.
Even if by mistake, if you give information that can only be known at the end, it is likely that you will be misunderstood.
In the midst of arranging things like that, finally, the long and long event was almost coming to an end.
In the game, these boring parts are skipped, so I didn’t know what you were talking about, but it must have been a time to explain about the main enemy of Pade.
“Finally, I believe that in the future, I will become a solid cadet who can freely use his talents in the right direction.”
With those words, Perto swung the staff in his arms once.
Then, numerous badges appeared on his back, and they flew away and gently climbed onto the hands of all incoming students.
This badge was proof that it was Mirinae Academy, and it was a sure sign that she had risen in status.
A powerful force that can stand up to discrimination and persecution regardless of status was contained in this little badge.
‘The design is good too.’
A pattern in which a sword and a question mark form a cross inside the Five Mangseong Fortress.
It was a symbol of magic, martial arts, and affair, and the belief of Mirinae Academy that when these three become one, the universe can be achieved.
After admiring it, I concentrated on the entrance ceremony again.
This is because from now on, the entrance ceremony was a rip off.
“Ah, my name is Guy Nad, who is in charge of the entrance ceremony. Then I will start the full-scale entrance ceremony from now on. First, there will be a speech by the representatives of the first-year students.”
In the case of the chairman and the host company, it was meaningless enough to be skipped in the game.
None of the events that will start from now on could not be passed lightly while hitting enter.
In particular, in the case of the first-year student representative speech, various buffs could be received depending on what the speaker was saying.
‘Because the person representing the first year is speaking… Did I say that that is the direction of the first year?’
For this reason, when I was playing a character other than Lee Seok-hyun, I remember going through a lot of hardship because I wanted to be that representative speaker.
As much as possible, I have to feed the character I was raising with a buff that gives me an advantage.
But now, there was no such pressure. Why? No matter what buff Lee Seok-hyun took, it was useless anyway.

Just like 0, no matter how high a number is multiplied, it becomes 0.
In the beginning, the representative speech buff was meaningless to Lee Seok-hyun.
‘Still, you can definitely decide who you want to be friends with.’
Giving a representative speech meant that there was a high probability that he would lead the entire first year.
What if you get through the early days well by eating tteokgomul next to such a guy?
In the second half, you will be able to keep going through the story without too much trouble.
I glanced at the faces of the main characters sitting next to me, one at a time, anticipating who the lead speaker’s name would be from Guynard’s mouth.
“To the representative speaker, Lee Seok-hyun.”
?
Conversely, a strange situation was created where the main characters looked at my face and their eyes met tightly.
No, not only the main characters, but all the freshmen looked at me.
‘why me?’
I looked at Guynad with a puzzled expression.
Eyes asking if he didn’t sing well and his mouth wide open as if he couldn’t believe it.
As if this alone conveyed the meaning, he nodded and opened his mouth again.
“To the representative speaker, Seok-hyun Lee.”
It was the perfect death sentence.
So why the hell am I…?
