I Became an Academy Fraudster

Episode 5

“Student Jiyoon Cha. There’s really no downside. If you want to change it, it doesn’t matter if you change it.”

The teaching assistant said to Cha Ji-yoon.

“…. I will do it with this person.”

Cha Ji-yoon pointed at Nam Do-yoon and said.

The teaching assistant tilted his head.

Why is he like that?

She didn’t quite understand.

The monster that will appear in Article 10 is the ‘Rich’.

A monster that belongs to the highest level among undead monsters.

Although, since it is not real, but a hologram, its power has weakened considerably.

Even so, a rich is a rich.

The strength of the body doesn’t go anywhere.

I know Cha Ji-yoon’s overwhelming talent.

However, she can’t do it alone.

You must be with Radeon to catch a lich.

In the first place, the difficulty setting was like that.

Originally, the test headquarters also gave instructions to form groups like that.

That’s why Team 10 originally had Cha Ji-yoon and Radeon together.

However, teacher Kaleido lightly ignored the headquarters guidelines, removed Radeon from the spot, and put in a guy named Nam Do-yoon.

The teaching assistant looked at Nam Do-yoon.

He seemed far from strong no matter how he looked at it.

By the way, suddenly assigned to group 10?

The teacher must have misjudged something.

In that case, even Cha Ji-yoon could make the right decision and change the group.

But, she didn’t even do that.

What the hell are you thinking? Do you want to fall

The children started to mutter.

“Ah. Could it be because of that?”

“What?”

“No. It’s a very strong monster with 10 trillion, but if you catch it by yourself, you’ll lose your score completely.”

“Ah… That’s right, there was another way.”

It was only then that the children nodded as if they understood.

The teaching assistant frowned.

Is it really because of that?

Then she was wrong.

The monsters placed in group 10 are at a level that she can never catch alone.

I didn’t expect her to be so arrogant.

The teaching assistant looked at Cha Ji-yoon without saying anything.

****

In front, Team 9 is fighting.

After a little while, it will be Cha Ji-yoon and my turn.

The battle in Group 9 ended quickly.

Then, the names of the 10 members appeared on the screen immediately.

[‘Next’ test: Article 10. Monster: Lich (Preparation time: 5 minutes)]

In this way, the electronic board informs you of the monsters that will appear in the next test.

During this preparation time, you should have a meeting with the members and devise a strategy.

“What is it? Rich? How do you get hold of that?”

“Is it possible to beat that at the student level?”

“Wasn’t that something that only active hunters could catch?”

The children started to mumble.

Wait… But what about Richie?

If an orc or ogre appeared, I would have no chance.

But, rich?

If it’s a rich enough, I have a chance.

As for my compatibility, I have a much better chance of winning against a Lich than an Orc or Ouga.

This is good enough. No, you can always win.

Lich is a monster that can be dealt with sufficiently if you learn only the patterns.

I approached Cha Ji-yoon, who was leaning against the wall and watching the battle of Team 9.

Then, noticing my presence, she turned to me.

“…What is it?”

“You can catch the lich unconditionally as long as you follow my words.”

“On what basis do you say that?”

“Well, I know a lot about Richie.”

Really.

I’ve been playing the game for 10 years, and I’ve only caught the lich over a few hundred times.

I’ve seen his attack patterns and weaknesses so many times that I’ve memorized them all.

Cha Ji-yoon frowned.

“The world hasn’t released information about Richie yet, right?”

This is the point at which information about Richie has not yet been released to the world.

But Cha Ji-yoon would know.

Her family is the daughter of a conglomerate that is ranked among the top 10 in Korea.

Based on her wealth and information, she probably knows a lot of things that have not yet been revealed to the world.

“The rich cannot recognize people with their eyes. However, it recognizes people by the magical energy that comes from them.”

Hearing that, Cha Ji-yoon made a surprised expression.

She said, “I must have hidden my mana so I wouldn’t be a target for the lich’s attacks. However, it is still impossible for Cha Ji-yoon.”

“…I don’t know how you got the information about the lich.”

Cha Ji-yoon looked at me and continued his words.

“I will take care of it. We both work separately.”

Ttogak – Ttogak –

She started walking to the stadium.

****

“Let’s start now.”

After the teacher’s words, the shape of the lich began to appear.

The figure of a skeleton wearing a robe was revealed. In his hand was a staff that looked like a magic ball.

Even though we just ran into each other, a bleak energy pierced my whole body.

Cha Ji-yoon kept her composure.

Lich wasn’t a difficult monster at all, as long as she could hide her mana well anyway.

If only she could hide her magical powers, the lich is completely oblivious to her enemies because her eyes are degenerated.

Just like in the first test, it was a problem where you just had to hide your magic well.

“Come on! We begin now.”

Cha Ji-yoon hid mana by controlling magic.

Now it’s just a matter of quietly striking.

The lich scanned the surroundings with red eyes.

Instantly, that gaze was fixed on Nam Do-yoon.

The lich recognized him.

Cha Ji-yoon looked at Nam Do-yoon beside him.

Couldn’t it be… That you couldn’t capture your magic power?

There was only one reason she chose Nam Do-yoon.

The transparent mana he showed in the second test.

It is true that transparent mana is rare.

However, she was the daughter of a conglomerate that was ranked in the top 10 in the industry.

That’s why she saw hunters with a lot of transparent mana.

However, the mana he had was different from that of other hunters.

I can’t pinpoint and explain, but I felt something foreign.

I don’t know what it was, but it intrigued her.

Are you hiding something?

I chose him thinking that I would be able to confirm that this time.

But looking at it now, it doesn’t seem like that.

The lich was staring at him.

Soon after that, fireballs started to fly from the magic tool of the rich.

Wedge-

“!!!!!”

Cha Ji-yoon widened his eyes.

That’s because the place the fireball was heading was not Namdo Yoon, but the place where he was standing.

You must have completely hidden your mana, right?

Kwakwang-

Jiyoon Cha rolled sideways to avoid the fireball.

Wedge-

Kwakwang-

She was in a hurry to dodge the lich’s fireball.

Still, she kept glancing at Namdo Yoon.

No lich attacks were flying at him.

No way… Are you saying that your ability to control magic is superior to mine?

Litch didn’t seem to recognize him at all.

On the other hand, the mana that Cha Ji-yoon hid, seemed to be visible to the lich.

Nam Doyoon was right.

“You can just hit the fireball this time.”

“…What is that?”

It was obvious that the test would be over with just one fireball from that monstrous lich.

“I don’t have time to explain. That fireball is welcome. Stand up and cast your magic.”

She stood still in her seat.

Her fireballs blazed towards her.

Just before the fireball hit her directly.

She didn’t move and continued casting her magic.

Wedge-

She glanced behind her to see the ball of fire past her.

It was really welcome, as he said.

How the hell did you know this?

Anyway, that’s not important right now.

Ugh-

In her hands, mana gradually began to gather in a blue form.

Wedge-

A moment later, a fireball came out of her hand.

The moment the fireball flew towards the lich.

The lich began to cast a terrifying spell.

“&$#&$&&#$&#”

Just before the fireball hit the lich directly.

Kwaang-

At that moment, a blue barrier appeared in front of the lich.

The fireball was blocked by the shield created by the lich.

The barrier didn’t crack at all.

However, Cha Ji-yoon didn’t care.

If once doesn’t work, try twice.

If you can’t do it twice, attack three times.

Then it will break.

Cha Ji-yoon started collecting mana again.

The moment he was about to fire the fireballs he had collected.

Suddenly, a translucent film appeared in front of the lich.

”Keep it out of that fireball reach!”

”…What the hell is that?”

”I don’t have time to explain! You can’t cancel the magic cast now.”

She threw a fireball far above the lich’s head.

Then the fireball began to return to the other side in an instant.

The speed was much higher than the speed she flew.

To the point that she couldn’t react.

Kwaang-

”!!!”

The fireball landed right in front of her two steps.

If I had fired a fireball at the lich’s head, it would have been a direct hit to her.

Cha Ji-yoon looked at Namdo-yoon with her eyes narrowed.

That the lich uses reflection magic is information that I haven’t heard from her informant yet.

How the hell does that person know?

The lich put on the blue shield again.

“Are you ready to do as I say now?”

Nam Doyoon said.

Cha Ji-yoon quietly nodded her head.

”You have to break that shield with a single attack. And you have to break the life vessel in the middle of the lich before the shield recovers.”

”…….Are you saying you want to gather all your mana and blow a big blow?”

Namdoyun nodded her head.

If you gather all your mana and unleash a powerful blow, you won’t be able to use any magic after that.

That said, I’m not sure that one shot that gathered all that magic would break the shield and reach the lich.

But, even so, the only way for now is to follow that man’s words.

”……I understand.”

I began to gather all the mana in my body.

All the mana in the whole body was gathered to form one enormous fireball.

It was a fireball that drew all her mana.

If this attack failed, it was certain that she would fail the exam.

Cha Ji-yoon looked at Richie with her eyes wide open.

She then threw a huge ball of fire at the lich.

The fireball collided with the lich’s blue shield.

Crackle-

The blue shield has begun to crack.

”!!!”

However, the cracked blue shield soon began to fill up again.

No way… Is this not enough?

The moment the crack in the blue barrier is about to fill up completely.

I felt a strange mana.

That moment.

Wajangchang-

The blue barrier was broken in an instant.

“&^&^&&&^”

The lich tried to set up his shield again, but it was too late.

Fall-

It was after a huge fireball hit the lich directly.

“Exam end. Section 10 passed.”

Cha Ji-yoon looked at Nam Do-yoon.

Couldn’t it be… Did that man just break the lich’s blue shield?
