chapter 6
entrance exam (2)
one day before the entrance exam.
I went home right after I broke up with Ha-yeon Park.
Tomorrow is an exam, so I had a few things to prepare for.
“Status window.”

———————————–
Shinnoda sighed as she saw the ability level in front of her.
“Not enough.”
Achievements achieved in a short period of one year.
It’s definitely great.
If you catch a strong villain, your growth will be even bigger.
Based on that growth, you will be able to achieve greater growth by catching stronger villains.
‘Snow Ball’ was still small, but it was rolling steadily.
However, the academy is a place where competition is so fierce that there are people who want to go even if they are 3rd or 4th.
Although the level of D is the cutoff, that is only for those who have proper combat skills.
[Don’t waste your time in an academy or something like that, learn from me. There is nothing inferior to human beings, whether in martial arts or magic.]
Laura’s carefree voice.
That’s not to say I’m not going to learn.
without even knowing
I got a little annoyed and replied back in a sharp voice.
“As you may not know, the world will soon revolve around the Academy.”
[Is that a confident voice? What do you know?]
I’m angry with Laura for treating me like a fool.
Excited, I said something I shouldn’t have said.
“I know the future.”
[Are you finally going crazy? Does the guy who knows the future struggle with the crappy C-class and D-class villains?]
“Don’t be such a trivial thing. It means you know the big trend. Found you right away… . inhale.”
In an instant, I felt an inexplicable beating in my heart.
“Ugh.”
A storm of raging magic.
Furniture and objects in the house were swept away by waves of magical power with physical power.
The dragon heart was beating.
The magical storm gradually took on a human form.
A large human that seemed to reach the ceiling of an officetel.
No eyes, no nose, no mouth.
A form made up of a mass of pure magic.
It was Laurakis who was angry.
[dare. You mean you were playing with the fate of the dragon race!]
I couldn’t even raise my head at the overwhelming presence.
“Come on, wait. Anyway, if I don’t intercept, Laura-sama will die.”
[How do you believe that? There may have been a better successor than you. By now, I might have completed my body and realized the resurrection of the Balaur! Do you know how I came to this world!]
Am embarrassed.
I didn’t expect to be this angry.
It seems that there was usually a lot of dissatisfaction with me.
“Originally, Laura-sama’s successor will be a woman named ‘Yongcheonhwa’. You are definitely stronger than me. However, she is corrupted and abandoned by all the powers on Earth, and is eliminated as a public official. By the way, until just before she died, Laura-sama was controlling her body and fighting, but she died.”
The waves of magic have calmed down a bit.
Has your anger subsided?
I’ll have to convince you more.
“I am different. You know what’s going to happen and you know how to use it to get stronger. For Laura-sama and the Balaur’s resurrection, I’m the better choice. Now that this has come to pass, please definitely help me out.”
[Clearly.]
The magical storm has subsided.
The large human form gradually collapsed and disappeared without a trace.
All that’s left is a messy house.
Laura asked in a low-pitched voice.
[What do you want? What more should I do to you?]
that’s what you want
That’s obvious.
At this rate, admission to the academy is uncertain.
You have to make uncertainty certain.
“Lend me your strength in tomorrow’s entrance exam.”
I got the idea from Yongcheonhwa I saw in the game.
The way Laura used her body.
to apply that
I explained to him how.
***
“Please make it an A-class monster.”
“What did you just say… .”
The supervisor asked if I had heard it wrong.
Shinnoda’s overall grade is D.
Didn’t you write it like that?
‘But it’s an A-class monster.’
“You said you wanted to be measured as an A.”
“This is not a place to joke around. Please take it seriously. For D-class examinees, D-class monsters fit the level.”
The supervisor said that he had a light attitude when he had no skills, and looked at him inwardly.
Shin Noda’s subsequent words changed his thinking.
“If you can’t defeat an A-class monster, it’s okay to be eliminated unconditionally.”
Only then did the supervisor realize that he was sincere.
“Joe, that’s fine. I’ll do that for you if you want. But if I can’t defeat it, I will remove it by my own authority.”
A disintegrating goblin archer.
The square particles are larger and have a more solid shape.
Height reaching 2.5 meters.
A muscular yet agile body.
It was a troll.
A monster with great regenerative power.
Even if an arm or neck is cut off, it can be regenerated quickly.
Without fire magic, which is a weakness, it is very difficult to deal with.
The troll was standing hunched over and staring at Shinnoda.
He had a short sword in his hand, but because it was a ‘short’ by troll standards, it looked like a long sword to Shinnoda.
<User Shinno. target troll. Start. 3, 2, 1.>
Other examinees predicted Shin Noda’s overwhelming defeat.
“A troll? Even an A-class hero is a monster that can’t be caught if the match is bad.”
“By the way, wasn’t that guy’s ability telekinesis? Wrong. Unless it’s a flame series… .”
“It’s just that you’re being arrogant, trying to figure out what to do.”
“Since when did D-class people become so naive?”
Shinnoda closed her eyes.
He spoke softly so that only he could hear it.
“Laura. You can’t take my body like this.”
Laura snorted inwardly.
‘How can I say that I have seen a future where the Balaur will be destroyed by defeat.’
He decided to believe in Shinnoda.
As they came to this world, the strong but mentally weak were entangled in their hands.
Shinnoda is the opposite.
There is no way that he would have entered a cave where no one was ‘accidentally’ and obtained a red gem.
As he said, there was no way someone like Shinnoda would become his successor unless he saw the future and came to him.
[do not worry.]
The troll began to move.
Shin Noda’s body glows red in an instant.
A geometric tattoo that suddenly appeared on his skin was glowing.
The supervisor was startled.
“Hey, that’s a magic engraving?!”
magic engraving.
It is a tattoo that dramatically increases the power of magic, a field that has only recently been researched.
In Korea, there was no one dealing with it at all, and it was just the first step in the United States, which is leading the way in magic engineering.
The method chosen by Shinnoda to obtain excellent results in the Comprehensive Combat Ability Assessment.
It was to leave the body to Laurakis for a while.
Laurakis is a talented person who uses ‘Dispel’ magic even while attached to Shinnoda.
If I gave him my body, it was natural that he would become much stronger.
When Laurakis first heard of this plan, he opposed it.
[refuse. your body can’t stand it Your monkey-level brain will explode the moment you start performing magic operations.]
Dragon magic is different from human magic.
Their brains are so brilliant that they have not optimized their computational methods at all.
It was natural to not be able to bear it if the human brain tried it.
Shinnoda knew the solution.
“Why don’t you engrave magic engravings all over your body? Wouldn’t it be better to assist with calculations through engraving?”
[Magic engraving is not for that purpose, no. It might be possible if you remodel it… . Whoa, that’s a creative idea.]
“This is how you write in the future.”
[I can feel that you are seeing the future again.]
“So, don’t take my body. If I do not intervene, the world will perish. There is no way to resurrect the dragon race.”
Shinnoda, who had awakened the magical imprints on his body, slowly opened his eyes.
Long vertical torn pupil.
The body that received the dragon’s soul was changing in real time.
Skeleton, muscle, organ, talent.
Everything is transformed to fit Laurakis’ soul.
Trolls are hunters rather than warriors.
He looked around the strange-looking Shinnoda, looking at the angle of entry.
Laurakis thought he had to finish it quickly.
If it was delayed longer than this, her body could be completely changed and she could reject Shin Noda’s soul.
He raised his arm towards the troll and stretched out his hand.
The troll decided that the opponent was a wizard and charged immediately.
It’s common sense not to give a wizard casting time.
A short sword that is swung so fast that the examinees who are watching the test are not even aware of it.
Shinnoda showed minimal movement and avoided it.
The supervisor couldn’t believe it even after seeing it with my own eyes.
“Nonsense. That’s Agility D?!”
It was uncertain whether he himself would be able to avoid the troll’s attack.
After all, I am a student
“The troll is so fast. Who caught the movement?”
“How is a D-class avoiding that?”
The students watching could not keep their mouths shut at the unexpected situation.
Shinnoda’s body is getting hotter and hotter.
The magic generated from the dragon heart flowed through the magic engraving, generating heat.
Blood gushed from his eyes, nose and mouth.
It was not enough to support calculations with magic engraving.
Laurakis realized that Shinnoda’s body was more trash than expected.
He used to think of human durability as a standard when he was playing in the past.
A human body made with polymorph magic is strong enough to contain a dragon’s soul.
It was different from the normal body.
‘I must borrow the power of the system.’
Originally, he tried to burn it without a trace with ‘Hell Fire’ magic, but it was unsuccessful.
I’m proud of myself, but I decided to use the skill.
Skills registered in the system are a kind of sample.
Even if you don’t know what magic is, you can use magic to pre-determine the calculations.
Using a computer as an example, if a general wizard was to create a program by coding every time a programmer needed something, the status window and the awakener using the skill would only use the already made program.
When using a skill, Laurakis only needs to modify it a bit.
The required computing power is drastically reduced.
‘Telekinesis skill. This is how it works. Then strengthen the power.’
Laurakis fixed his gaze on the troll.
He said, clenching his fist with his outstretched hand.
“done. disappear.”
In an instant, the figure of the troll that was pouring out an onslaught disappeared.
The one in the glass box is Shinnoda Hana.
and.
thud.
A blue marble fell to the floor.
The heavy noise it made when it touched the ground made us guess its weight.
The crowds of students watching.
“What happened?”
“Where did you go?”
Shinnoda turned her head and met the supervisor’s eyes.
The supervisor had goosebumps all over his body.
The eyes turned bright red because the blood vessels were all ruptured.
Vertically torn pupil.
It was the eyes of a predator.
He was unknowingly depressed.
“no way.”
The supervisor got up and walked over to the glass box.
His legs trembled as he got closer to Shinnoda, but he overcame his fears with the determination to complete his duties as a supervisor.
The supervisor who was close to the glass box could vaguely guess the identity of the fist-sized marble that fell on the floor.
As expected, it was probably a troll.
‘How strong was the force that made the troll look like that?!’
unbelievable power.
Until now, no one has been able to utilize his telekinesis skills so far.
A guide voice came out of the glass box.
<Fatal error occurred. It is not possible to proceed with the test.>
“Student. Can I use the ability to unlock it?”
Shinnoda made a face as if he had just remembered it.
“ah.”
The red magic engraving on his body disappeared.
The geometric patterns that had been engraved on the arms and legs as well as the face disappeared all over the place.
Shinnoda’s soul has found its place.
At the same time, the blue marble bursts out.
The remains of the troll were splashed all over the glass box.
The debris soon turned into square particles and fell to the floor with sparks.
“Look, I can’t believe it, but the score I gave is Comprehensive Combat Ability A and Skill S. But how the hell… ?”
Shinnoda did not answer.
No, I didn’t.
He seemed to lose his mind at any moment in the aftermath of using powerful magic.
He staggered out of the auditorium.
