Became a Human Rights Advocate

1 – Episode 1. Academy Island, Academia.

＜1＞

It took me half a day to accept that I had entered the world of Legends of Academia. I don’t know what the reason is, but I became a resident of the world in the game.

“Lee Si-hyuk.”

The voice coming out of my mouth is awkward. But unless this is a dream, you have to adapt.

I looked in the mirror again. A male student with a sullen expression and thin black hair was staring blankly at me.

Lee Si-hyeok. 18 Years old. A sophomore at Eastern Third High School.

He is a non-attribute 4-star supporter in Legend of Academia, and his skill level is D grade.

After staring at the mirror for a while, I closed my eyes and muttered to myself, just in case.

Status Window Status Stat Skill Inventory Characteristic Window Characteristics, etc. Are all that comes to mind.

But nothing appears.

“Status window!”

I stretched my hands out into the air and shouted, but nothing came out.

To say the least, it is only the player’s ability to check the student’s status. I became Lee Si-hyeok, a character, so there is no way I have the abilities of a player.

Can you use Lee Si-hyuk’s abilities?

How?

The moment a question arises, the method comes into mind. Naturally, as if you knew it from the beginning.

Let’s see. Is it like this

Imagine something condensing on the top of your right hand. A lump of pure power with no attributes attached.

I thought the energy of my whole body was escaping to my right hand, and then a gray cube appeared.

“Is this going to happen?”

A colorless element. Lee Si-hyeok’s psychic powers.

But it is too small. In my memory, Lee Si-hyeok used a colorless element the size of a rock.

But the one in my hand is about the size of a small dice. It seems I still can’t handle this psychic power properly. Game-wise, is the level too low?

“Well, big or small, it doesn’t really matter.”

A colorless element is a garbage ability that is almost non-existent when used alone.

Maybe that’s why, Lee Si-hyeok’s ability level was D-class, which was pretty low.

The ability level was a way to distinguish the ability person on the artificial academy island, Academia, which is the background of the Legend of Academia.

With immeasurable power, there are officially only three EX ranks in the world.

A grade S with the strongest external power.

Class A, considered elite in Academy.

B is classified as an honor student, C is an ordinary ability student, and D barely falls into the category of an ability person.

Under that, there are only E, who is an ordinary student, and F, who is not a student in the first place.

A grade that is considered universal within the worldview of Leoa, separate from the 3-star, 4-star, and 5-star rarity-oriented classification methods provided for user convenience.

He was also the main culprit in underestimating Lee Si-hyeok when Leoa opened.

The ability level was related to the character’s basic stats, and among the 4-star characters, only Lee Si-hyeok was ranked D.

Lee Si-hyeok, who was wriggling on a stage that even 3-star characters easily cleared, was of course treated as garbage.

“Is the entrance ceremony in three days?”

I checked the date and schedule on a cell phone with a near-futuristic design. Freshman OT ended a few days ago, and it’s only three days until the entrance ceremony, where the story of Legend of Academia begins.

“The ‘teacher’ must be there too.”

Academia is an academy city with several schools, and each character has a school they belong to. We have only one common purpose.

To defeat the enemy of humanity, the ‘Irregular’, by developing students’ ‘supernatural abilities’.

The player, ‘Sensei’, is the homeroom teacher of the special department, recruiting students from Academy City Academia to his class, solving various problems at the academy, solving the students’ worries, and fighting the irregulars. For your reference, being in a relationship means that you were drawn from a lottery.

However, the word ‘drawing’ is not even mentioned once in the actual worldview. In other words, you have to meet the ‘teacher’ in person to enter the special department.

The problem is that I don’t know the teacher’s face.

Since the opening of Legend of Academia, the illustration of ‘Teacher’ has never been released. Personality and habits can be inferred from conversations with characters, but it is only an indirect method.

Although this player’s ambiguity is one of the universal characteristics of collectible RPGs.

First of all, we need to find a teacher.

Leoa’s story in the beginning is good, hahahaha, hoho, but as the latter half progresses, the crisis of world destruction approaches.

In order to overcome that crisis, I, Lee Si-hyeok’s strength will definitely be needed.

Well, by the way. Let’s go outside first.

It is also true that I am confused and afraid of the situation beyond imagination called game possession. But at the same time, as a Leoa player, my heart was pounding.

This is an opportunity to actually see the landscapes of Academia that you have seen passing by in the game. If you’re lucky, you might be able to meet Leoa’s characters in person.

“Let’s start by eating.”

I’m slowly getting hungry. In addition, I want to cut off this cumbersome messy hair.

＜2＞

I got out of the room and out of the building.

The place where Lee Si-hyeok is staying is Room 403 of the student dormitory. It is an ordinary dormitory with nothing special about it except that it is a single room per person.

The air is fresh and the sun is warm. It is thanks to the artificial intelligence that manages Academia that it maintains the right temperature for study throughout the year.

Although there is an episode where the artificial intelligence runs out of control and tries to drown the entire island of this academy in the Pacific Ocean. Well, it’s a story for a while, so I don’t have to worry about it right now.

Find the way to your destination by fiddling with your cell phone. Lee Si-hyeok’s mobile phone was not significantly different in function from the smartphone I used to use.

It was treated as an ordinary smartphone to guide the way with augmented reality in conjunction with the lens. Perhaps Lee Si-hyeok is using a cell phone that is quite old-fashioned even within the academia.

As we moved from the residential district where the dormitories were clustered to the commercial district, I could see people. It’s like buying the last things you need before the new semester.

My eyes went blind to the shops and products I saw for the first time, but I managed to endure it and headed straight for the restaurant.

Your destination is ‘Chunryonggak’, a Chinese restaurant on the outskirts of the restaurant district. This is a restaurant that often appears in Leoa’s scenarios. The representative menu is Chinese fried rice, which was popular with students because it was cheap and plentiful.

Baeksoso was a regular here, maybe.

– With my daughter!

“Come on! This is the Cheonryong Pavilion!”

I settled down and ordered fried rice. After watching the gray-haired owner swish the wok in the kitchen for a while, he took out his cell phone from his pocket and picked it up.

I opened my contacts and messenger, but I frowned without realizing it.

It was empty.

The school teacher and the emergency contact network are all.

Lee Si-hyeok is kind, but shy and gloomy. So he roughly expected it, but I never thought it would be like this. Somehow, in the story, there was almost no connection with other characters.

Next is the album.

It is full of landscape photos taken against the background of the city. There are only a few selfies with Lee Si-hyeok’s face, even if it’s a portrait photo sprouting in a drought.

When I got to the bottom of the album, I finally found the picture I was looking for. Five boys and girls who seem to have just entered middle school.

This photo was taken in front of a research institute somewhere, and Lee Si-hyeok with a brusque expression can be seen in the corner of the photo.

One of the puzzles required for Lee Si-hyeok’s awakening event. By facing his own past, the upper limit of the level of ability is unlocked and he finally grows up to grade B-

Such-

Event- but-

‘I’ll definitely see you later?’

My head was spinning.

Memories related to photography pop up in my head, just like when I thought about the use of colorless elements.

The trauma remaining in Lee Si-hyuk’s body must be synchronized.

I feel like my mind will be washed away by the flood of memories. My body trembles. Breathing quickens

“The food is here!”

Tak! The sound of the bowl being set down awakened the spirit that had sunk below the surface. When I raised my head, the owner was smiling in a friendly way.

“Oh, yes.”

“Enjoy your meal!”

I picked up the spoon in a half-excited state. The golden-yellow grains of rice dance in your mouth.

It’s delicious. The incense was clearly present, and it was well-roasted.

Um.

Um…

Anyway, investigating Lee Si-hyuk’s past should be postponed.

It seems that the mind can’t stand the trauma that is deeply embedded in this body yet.

Since Lee Si-hyuk’s personality was replaced with mine, I thought there wouldn’t be a big problem, but it didn’t seem like it could be solved that simply.

Anyway, this fried rice is really good.

It’s so generous, but it’s only 5,500 won.

I need to come here more often.

Academy provides living expenses to students according to their ability level. A D-class student could barely survive a month if he lived frugally.

Lee Si-hyeok is an orphan born and raised in Accademia, so he cannot expect the support of his family like other students.

That’s why I was trying to quickly raise the level of a person with abilities…. The first button failed, so I have no choice but to save it for now.

The awakening event seemed to be possible only after finding the ‘teacher’.

“Calculation.”

I got up from my seat, tapping my stomach, and took out a card from my wallet and handed it to the owner with a benevolent expression.

And after a while.

“Student, I heard you can’t pay because you don’t have enough balance?”

“… Yes?”
