Exiled and Became an Academy Scam Villain

2. I take the reward for the first place in the retest (4)

retest is over.

Choi Hana, who lost all strength in her body, sat down. There were also quite a few fainting cadets around.

It was also different from when I was in high school. The standard of the test was much higher than expected.

I was also surprised when more monsters than expected appeared.

As expected, the biggest ambush in the test was that strengthened monster.

It was so agile that it didn’t match that gigantic size. Allowed a lot of effective hits to the boss.

‘I had a really hard time dealing with that head orc. ha…’

Even though I am confident in practice. Because of that deduction, Hana Choi lost quite a bit of the number of kills she had worked so hard for.

Besides, it’s basically a dark property monster that spreads curses.

I barely managed to get it out before time ran out. It was quite difficult to catch the boss while enduring the debuff on the body.

‘It was difficult even for me, who was used to the dark attribute to some extent. It must have been much harder for the other cadets.’

Checking the current status board, it seemed that there were quite a few applicants who had also retired. Even if I survived the boss, I think I would have passed the retest.

‘for a moment! Lee Jun-woo?’

And instinctively confirmed Lee Jun-woo’s name.

I was surprised at the same time.

Lee Jun-woo not only survived, but also ranked first in Group 13.

‘No, it’s the best record so far!’

I cleared the retest with 25 seconds left.

Right after the fierce battle, my whole body ached. Hana Choi hurriedly left the test area and immediately checked the replay.

‘Nonsense…’

Hana Choi was shocked. Lee Jun-woo’s battle was perfect.

It was a boss with a dark attribute that spreads curses. The paladin’s divinity protected him and he was never attacked.

‘Even when not using a shield, I avoided all of the boss’s attacks.’

That avoidance close to future foresight.

Above all, the movement was unbelievable.

As if I watched it sneakily during the test.

It moved very slowly though. It was calm, not stuffy.

And a blow that was perfectly grasped in the middle of the battle and struck the opponent’s loopholes.

It wasn’t an explosive blow, though. Three blows that hit the vital point perfectly dealt with the boss.

‘As a Hunter, it really looks like a textbook.’

Even in the situation of relative inferiority, he was not embarrassed or frustrated.

Calmly deploy your best moves and achieve a perfect victory in the end. Truly the look of an expert.

To be honest, I was moved.

It was something you couldn’t see in young hunters like the test takers gathered here.

The organization she is the boss of.

Although there were Awakeners who had been rolling in the dark for a long time in that organization. Even they couldn’t calm down in front of a strong enemy like Lee Jun-woo from a moment ago.

‘If that Lee Jun-woo joins our organization…’

So, inadvertently, that overflowing feeling went too far ahead.

I was servered in front of Lee Jun-woo. and shouted at him

“I… I… go… go…”

However, Hana Choi was taken aback. stuttered

It wasn’t that he couldn’t say anything just because he was a man. But involuntarily, my body stiffened.

‘Why am I doing this…?’

Maybe it’s because the habit of always hiding and watching him has become a habit.

It was embarrassing to be right in front of you like this.

To exaggerate, it was as if I was standing in front of an idol I admired. Of course, Hana Choi is not interested in celebrities at all.

Inadvertently, I tried to say, ‘I’m impressed!’ Thinking back, I was too ashamed to say that.

“what’s the matter?”

Of course, Lee Jun-woo looked at Hana Choi as if he were curious.

“I… I… thank you!!”

I couldn’t bear to say the original words and quickly ran away.

***

after a while Re-exam results were announced.

However, Hana Choi did not calm down for a while. I was still thinking of Lee Jun-woo.

Soon, the words of thanks that I shouted a moment ago. When I thought about it, it was so sudden that my face turned red.

‘Why are you doing this? Hana Choi! If I do this, I can’t recruit Lee Jun-woo into our organization!’

Not to mention recruiting. She might think of herself as a crazy woman.

‘omg! That’s embarrassing!’

When I thought so, my heart sank.

Most of all, in that last scene of the replay that really moved her.

As a Holy Knight, she saw Lee Jun-woo’s will.

‘Lee Jun-woo… even though he was so exhausted. I didn’t collapse on the spot until the end.’

One of the most important virtues that a paladin of the Goddess Church must possess is indomitability.

The paladin was to be the light and shield in the party’s front line.

If that paladin can’t hold on and collapses. Soon, the party’s staying power collapses.

But Lee Jun-woo, even at the last moment.

Even though his face turned bright yellow and his whole body trembled. I did not collapse on the spot and endured.

It was the exact opposite of her, who collapsed on the floor as soon as the test was over.

‘No student in the Holy Knight Department has ever shown such a noble figure.’

More than honor as a paladin. As a tank of a famous guild, chasing more money and fame is a trend among paladins these days.

However, Lee Jun-woo is the complete opposite of him. Hana Choi knew it well.

‘Such a kind person has an indomitable will. It is absolutely necessary for our organization.’

To put it a bit exaggerated, it was my motive, but I respected him.

I hardened my heart even more.

However, it was not easy to talk to Lee Jun-woo right away.

Because of the embarrassing appearance a while ago. My face was still hot.

That’s how the other group’s retest was all over.

The retest results were also released shortly after.

“From now on, the top cadets whose names are being called, gather here! Lee Jun-woo, Choi Hana, Seo Jin-hyung…”

I woke up to that call.

‘Come to think of it…’

Theia Academy has a strict skill system. So, in any test, the top 3 people always gave that reward.

So Hana Choi stayed up all night preparing for this retest.

Above all, the previously announced 1st place reward, ‘Wyvern’s red tusk powder’. It was an item that Choi Hana, an alchemist, coveted.

However, the first place was, of course, Lee Jun-woo.

The gold medal and its powder go to Lee Jun-woo. Hana Choi, who placed second, only received a silver medal.

‘But I’m not sorry. More than anything… If Lee Jun-woo hadn’t been number one, I would have argued.’

The fighting spirit Lee Jun-woo showed today was well worth it.

Of course, none of it was a loss. Only with the silver medal record, I was able to get additional points in the midterm exam and shop points in the school.

Suddenly, An Yu-min came to mind.

The last 3 years of high school. He was often in the same class as An Yu-min.

Hana Choi, who had a strong desire to compete, was strangely upset when she lost in a match. Even An Yu-min has a personality that never accepts defeat.

But somehow, the current defeat was different.

“I don’t need this, so you take it.”

And that was when

Lee Jun-woo handed her a small package of molar powder.

“Me, this?”

I looked at him in bewilderment.

Lee Jun-woo, as if he didn’t need that expensive item, handed it to her and just turned around.

Then, the supervisor who presented the medal, Instructor Lee Soo-yeon, also said with an absurd expression.

“That’s expensive, so why give it up like that?”

Lee Soo-yeon faced Hana Choi. Everyone knows the value of that thing. I was very surprised by that careless kindness.

Aside from the honor of being number one, the appearance of being completely indifferent to wealth. It was really like the model of a paladin.

“I am a student named Junwoo Lee. Maybe he’s interested in you? Otherwise, there’s no way I can just give you that expensive thing.”

“Oh, that can’t be! It can’t be like that for someone like me… It’s because Lee Jun-woo is a model paladin who doesn’t care about money!!”

For some reason, Hana Choi’s face became very hot. I hurriedly shook my head and ran out of the exam hall.

Instructor Lee Soo-yeon looked at him curiously.

***

After the retest, I left the high school dormitory.

students who have already graduated.

I was able to extend my dormitory until the re-examination, but. Now that it was over, I couldn’t help it.

There is still one month left until admission to the academy.

Now, I was in a PC room that doubles as a net cafe that I used to go to when I was in high school. I had to find a short-term part-time job and there was a lot of work to do.

‘Money… I also need more money.’

After all, money was the truth.

Theia Academy is famous for its high tuition. Of course, after taking the re-examination, it is unreasonable for me to receive an entrance scholarship.

It wasn’t difficult to make money if you were famous like Aegis. It’s impossible for me right now. Its popularity was a bit enviable at this moment.

At that moment, I suddenly looked to the side.

‘huh? It’s not an empty seat.’

It seemed that there was someone who came first next to my seat. It looks like you’ve been away for a while.

A live broadcast from Toka TV was playing on the monitor screen.

The one who interviewed Aegis at the last graduation ceremony. It was the broadcast of that major streamer.

Of the nickname, Mungseokkywa.

And the title of the broadcast immediately caught my attention.

[ ＜Mungseokkywi＞ Aegis is coming to Seokkyun Studio today?!!! Everyone come in to hear the behind the scenes! I’m going to join the legend!!! ]

Aegis. It seemed that the three of them were doing a joint broadcast with that streamer today.

The three of them were still nowhere to be seen.

That’s why you keep looking at other people’s monitors. I checked my original email on my monitor.

[from. Theia Academy Administration Office: Congratulations on entering Theia Academy.]

I thought about the last retest for a while in the information mail.

The retest results were very satisfactory.

Before awakening the hidden authority, I had to worry about whether or not I would pass the retest.

With that new power, he proudly took first place in the retest.

‘Well, though it’s a re-exam without top-level cadets.’

I looked at the medal given to me by the proctor.

My face was reflected in the medallion.

For reference, the additional reward, Wyvern’s red fang powder, was given to Hana Choi.

‘If I sell it, I’ll easily get a few million won. That item would be very useful to Hana Choi, an alchemist.’

dark side.

In the future, not only did he have to grow up in the academy, but at the same time he had to act as the villain Unknown in the underworld.

That is the fate given to my hidden title.

So, cooperation with Hana Choi, who is leading the organization in the dark, will be necessary. It was not worth it.

Rather, it was a minor investment considering the rewards I would get in the future.

I checked the notification window.
