chapter 1
1. Expelled from the hero party (1)
Character collection mobile game.
I was possessed into the so-called gacha game. I was born again in that game and continued to live, so it’s like reincarnation.
I have turned 20 before I knew it.
Since starting a new life, I’m feeling the most absurd feeling right now.
“What did you just say?”
Unbeknownst to me, my voice rose.
But the three I’m talking to. He was calm, as if he had expected my reaction a long time ago.
“So, I mean, get out of the club right away. We don’t need you in our party anymore.”
They weren’t wrong.
An auburn long-haired woman talking with her arms crossed right in front of me.
Because An Yu-min, the main character of the original game, told me once again. she continued.
“I’ve overlooked all the nasty things you’ve done up until now, but I can’t stand it anymore. We’re all adults, and we’re going to be academy cadets, right? So, let’s stop at this point before talking behind the scenes at the party.”
The words caught my breath again.
As An Yu-min said, I did a lot of things that she would not tolerate.
I only moved for the party’s profit and reputation. Literally, I always bumped into Ahn Yu-min, who has a personality like a hero of justice.
But it was all for her sake.
Being pushed by human rights charlatans, he becomes a folding screen. For her, the main character of the original story.
Although I hated her every time. And externally, my image has already deteriorated.
At the current party, I endured all sorts of nasty things.
glance-
My image was reflected in the mirror in the club room.
That embarrassed face is a typical Golden Sun.
Doing face value. In the eyes of An Yu-min, I did a lot of things like a bully.
But you, if I’m not here, how are you going to compete with human rights characters?
Of course, the current reality was the hard mode of the original game.
‘So I worked hard to the death to grow An Yu-min…’
Of course, he didn’t want to be recognized for his efforts.
I just wanted her to do well even if I swear. But I couldn’t have imagined this ending.
I hurriedly looked at the other two.
Song Si-ah and Ha Ye-eun.
club activities in the past year. They were colleagues who had been with me in the hero party activities.
Aegis, the hero club built from the ground up. And the original human rights character.
I shouted.
“Tell me something too. Yumin, why the hell is he doing that?”
An Yu-min is the main dealer and party leader of the hero party.
However, the influence in the party was similar to the other two. Ahn Yu-min, who thinks of me dearly. Two people can object enough.
Even though I recruited two for An Yu-min. I spent a lot of time on both of them.
“……”
But the two were silent.
I hurriedly looked at one of them, Xia Song. She is the magician and elementalist in the party.
The girl with a cold expression behind her silver hair. He averted my gaze.
“Ahn Yoo-min is right. Everyone agreed, so there will be no turning back.”
Song Xia’s words made her even more startled.
I turned my head to the last person, Ha Ye-eun.
She was watching me with blonde hair and wearing a nun’s uniform.
“What? So, like you, I should have done better when I added a half-Awoken to the party.”
“what? Are you done talking?”
“Not only Yumin-nim, but I also endured a lot! Putting aside the filthiness of your private life. Wasn’t it always late for party activities even right before the final exams, and was it a mess? So, Junwoo-nim, no, Lee Jun-woo, we are tired of being left behind!”
I was speechless at those words.
‘A backhand? That’s what I’d rather say!’
Aegis, a hero activity club.
Even though it was a club at the Awakened High School. Aegis was famous even in Seoul beyond the limits of students.
Those three who are just high school students even with temporary hunter licenses.
I was the one who made it famous enough to become an influencer on the web or social media.
Of course, I thoroughly handled all practical and chores in the shadows of those three. He was the so-called party operator.
When I happened to go out in public, there was only time to be criticized on behalf of them.
‘Such nonsense…’
Still, I couldn’t let go of hope.
Mobile game ‘Ashen City of Full Moon’.
My favorite character who was a deceased person in that game was Ahn Yoo-min. And even in today’s reality. someone I’ve loved
But her eyes were cold.
“Can you please leave now? You’d be uncomfortable seeing our faces too. that’s what we do too Let’s stop being soggy at this point and let’s finish it. We are busy too.”
With that confirmed kill, all my efforts collapsed like a sand castle.
I was stunned for a moment.
Still, it’s worth it. I also had the pride of the golden sun.
yelled at them
“Let’s see how well it goes without me. You will definitely regret it.”
However, the three of them ignored even that. I didn’t even say goodbye to me when I left the club room.
T-ring- T-ring- T-ring-
The system’s notification window buzzed busily.
[warning. Your mirror is cracking.]
However, having been hit in the back of the head unexpectedly, I had no time to even think about the meaning of the notification.
***
A month has passed since I was kicked out of the party.
Today, a day in mid-January, is the graduation ceremony of Theia Awakened High School.
I came back to this place where I spent the past 3 years.
However, he did not attend the graduation ceremony. No, it would be more accurate to say that I cannot participate.
I thought it was no big deal.
Like Golden Sun, I was able to forget my first love in a month. It seemed that the past had hit me a little too.
Suddenly, while walking on the street, he felt dizzy and had shortness of breath. I went to the on-campus hospital, and I was suddenly diagnosed with panic disorder.
‘What is the embarrassing man, the golden sun, and the panic…’
Well, if you take medicine for a while, you will get better.
As an Awakener, I have low basic stats compared to those three people.
[Status]——

——-
Like the current status.
Still, I was a little bit proud of a country that was similar to those three in terms of mental strength.
Anyway, that’s why I couldn’t get into that auditorium that was full of people. because of panic.
‘phew. Still, it’s a relief that participation in the graduation ceremony isn’t mandatory.’
I went all-in to the club life anyway. There were no close friends to congratulate each other on graduation.
No one would think it was strange that I, the golden sun, would not come to the graduation ceremony.
‘I have to get a graduation souvenir, but.’
For the past three years, I’ve lived thinking only of An Yu-min.
‘Cause she kicked me out Now I had to find a way to eat and live.
Unlike those three people who were once in the same party.
I was an insignificant extra in the original game.
However, somehow he succeeded in his first awakening and entered Theia Awakened High School. Of course, my Authority was trash.
Anyway, because of that hero party activity, my academic grades are messed up.
Still, I got quite a few service points because of my party activities. So, you should be able to go on to the same foundation, Theia Awakened Academy.
The background and starting point of the original game, Theia Awakened Academy.
In short, Theia Academy is ranked as the best among many hunter academies.
Well, there was nothing to worry about in the future.
Of course, with those three elites who have already completed their second awakening at high school. I will live a normal life that cannot be compared.
Still no regrets
‘I just need an academy sign somehow.’
Of course, you can make a lot more money than the average person. I was looking forward to a fresh start.
An Yu-min is not the only woman in the world. I had no intention of becoming obsessed.
Instead, if I run into them at the academy, I’ll be a little teary-eyed.
Anyway, I had to apply for admission with that high school diploma and extra points for volunteering outside of school.
For reference, the standard for entering Theia Academy without a separate exam is the top 40%. The rest had to retake the test.
Considering my grades calculated a while ago, fortunately, I was able to pass the cutoff for admission.
Thanks to the garbage-like authority, the actual performance was a mess, but. There was no problem with the theoretical grades and additional points for volunteer work.
“Hey, student Lee Jun-woo. I’m sorry, but the additional points for volunteering are not up to the standard. With this score, it is impossible to go on to higher education.”
However, the administrative office of the high school.
The employee’s words hardened my expression.
“yes? Check your documents again! Obviously three hero activities before final exams… So I went to volunteer work outside. With that much extra points, it would be enough to fill the entrance exam score, right?”
“Look here. In all three activity reports, Junwoo Lee’s contribution is zero. All the other party members agreed, so it’s definitely not that the documents are wrong…”
I snatched the employee’s papers.
‘Nonsense. The last three hero activities all have zero contribution?’
Even the signatures of the other three remained unmistakably.
‘What happened?’
In order to raise the reputation of the three, I even gave up my legitimate contribution.
Still, I always accepted a certain amount of contributions to go on to higher education. No matter how lightly those three took me. This was the first time the contribution was recorded as zero.
Anyway, it’s a big deal.
The re-exam will be conducted only for practical evaluation.
As an Awakener, my skills are messed up. So, if there is no reflection of the theory evaluation, the re-exam is confirmed to be eliminated.
“Anyway, student Lee Jun-woo has poor attendance and poor performance. If this is the case, without additional points, it is not enough for the entrance exam standard. And the admission score reflects only the grades and activities before the final exam. I’m sorry, but we can’t do anything about it.”
Which means you have to take the test again.
The staff made a sad face.
“yes. All right.”
I was disappointed. With such a record, there was no objection.
And at that moment, the employee said as if he remembered something.
“If you had a second awakening… you can be exempted from retesting even with your current grades. ah!”
However, the employee who brought that out was silent for a moment.
Graduating from a high school with a successful second awakening. A job that only top students can do.
The three members of the club were not famous for nothing.
The main character of the original work, An Yu-min. This would have been impossible without my help.
The staff member who confirmed my practical grades again, of course, told me that the second awakening was impossible for me. It seems that I realized it belatedly.
“Still, there are still two weeks left until the retest… If you prepare well, there will be good results! If you have any problems with the retest, we will send you a letter of recommendation for admission to another academy…”
“I understand for now.”
I appreciated the consideration of the staff.
But, because of the unexpected thing. Again the world spun around.
Of course, I thought I would go on to Theia Academy.
Other academies didn’t even think of it.
T-ring- T-ring- T-ring-
At the same time, the system’s notification window rang busily again, just like the day I was banished. I didn’t even have time to check.
I rushed out of the administrative office and swallowed the panic pills I had on hand.
“Ha… ha… ha…”
Perhaps it was not enough that he expelled me. I didn’t know that it would take away all of my last remaining credit.
Those three are already at the top of their school grades. Since he has reached the second awakening, he is automatically admitted to the academy.
‘Nevertheless. Do I have to go this far?’
In fact, I deliberately tried not to think of them.
according to the doctor’s words. If there is a cause of strong stress. I said staying away was the answer.
So I said it strongly when I left the club room.
Even just for each other. I tried to live like a stranger from now on.
But hit the back of the head hard like this?
The feeling of betrayal caught my breath as if I had sprinted for a hundred meters.
I sat down on a nearby bench and caught my breath.
right at that moment.
While calming the panic that started again, my powers were activated unconsciously.
No matter how much I am an extra.
That ability that was such a waste that the name Authority was a waste.
‘Let’s try using this kind of authority for 100 days…’
But I reflexively checked the system’s notification window.
Still, the authority is already at full level. I didn’t know that a second awakening might be possible like a miracle right now during the graduation ceremony.

“ha. Then it is.”
It was the same as usual.
Authority is the unique ability possessed by Awakeners. Classes and properties exist.
But as an extra, even that power was rubbish for me.
My power, a peacefully sparkling mirror.
As the name suggests, that 1m long mirror is summoned and all it does is shine.
Although the class of authority was a paladin. It was a power without any special effects related to battle.
I do have buff skills though. Even that was nonsense. At most, the mental stabilization effect and the lighting effect were all.
Even the level 1 combat skill called that thrust. An active skill that I created after struggling to death for the past three years. But as you can see, it didn’t help at all.
“Then you can’t deny that you’re a half-awakened person…”
Although he had already trained this authority to the point where his authority level reached maximum level.
Unlike the three who exiled me, I didn’t see the slightest possibility of a second awakening.
Even in the original work, the 2nd awakening was not possible for gacha bundles or job characters that appear while pushing the story.
Extras were extras after all.
This damn power didn’t even have its mind-soothing effect applied to me.
‘Today, even the mirror is in a strange state.’
A normally clean mirror. Somehow it was blurry like it was stained now.
But at that very moment.
belt ring-
A notification came on your smartphone.
[Ha Ye-eun’s broadcast has started. – [Saintnyeo tv] Graduation ceremony at last? Aegis fans, please come celebrate!!!]
It was a notification from a streaming app.
The nun of the party that expelled me. It was Ha Ye-eun’s Internet broadcast.
