Episode 21 – Performance Evaluation 3 –
‘I found it quite quickly this time.’
The faculty members watching from the control tower that controlled everything were thinking the same thing.
A falling out that occurred during peacetime. Some cadets may see this as a mistake on the professor’s part.
This was what the professors intended.
It was a slightly modified rule due to cadets taking advantage of the peace time and trying unusual methods.
[Cadet No. 11. Cadet Penedict Ivan was eliminated.]
[Cadet No. 89. Helium Trypium Cadet has been eliminated.]
[Cadet No. 94. Cadet Cadena Kali was eliminated.]
[…..The cadet…]
[Eliminated…]
And soon after, the sound of cadet elimination was broadcast in droves.
It was less than 10 minutes after the first elimination announcement sounded.
“At this point, everyone has realized that it is not a peace time, but a no-attack time.”
While watching the situation, Professor Rachel analyzed the situation.
“Originally, it was a time to execute or prepare for a strategy, not to use invincibility to threaten self-harm. It’s much better.”
“Well, it was unfortunate that the cadets didn’t expect it… but this performance evaluation also happens many to one.”
If it is an ordinary test, luck should be excluded as much as possible. This is because only ability should be reflected in grades.
However, luck exists in this world. There is a need to use luck to solidify victory or overcome misfortune.
This performance evaluation reflected that point. How to use this to your advantage. And how to overcome disadvantages.
To achieve this, the battle royale format, which has many variables and allows experimentation with various strategies, was appropriate.
“How did Cadet Abraxas know this right away? “Did you hear it from your senior?”
“I understand that you don’t have any seniors that you are particularly close with.”
“You may have been lucky enough to find it right away. And if you look at the recorded screen, it appears that he used magic after touching the Pasadin cadet and realized at that time that if he breaks the barrier, he will be eliminated.”
“He’s definitely a cadet with a good head in that regard. “The same goes for fighting Professor Maximilian and winning.”
Whether Abraxas knew it or not, public opinion among professors was not bad.
Of course, it is right to give preference to cadets with good skills.
This is because he had the power to defeat even a more skilled opponent.
A cadet who is already doing well, and a cadet who can soar even further.
In some ways, it may be natural for educators to pay attention to the latter.
The professors observed a slightly different type of cadet than Abraxas.
A group of cadets attempting to unite were sent to the video transmission magic tool.
“Some cadets are taking advantage of the fact that it is peace time to unite and target the top cadets.”
“You probably thought that union was essential to catch top cadets.”
The professors continued to monitor the situation, watching the first-year cadets come up with somewhat inadequate strategies.
—-
Starting with the Pasadin cadet whom I eliminated, there were some top performers who were eliminated.
I did quite a few things, but not all.
There were many ways.
Put it in water and leave it for 1 hour.
Put it on fire and leave it for 1 hour.
Put it in the ground and leave it for 1 hour.
Place in the sky and leave for 1 hour.
Of course, the shortest thing was the sky. This is because humans are bipedal creatures and headed towards the ground.
[Peace time has now ended.]
When those 7 players were sent to the goal.
A broadcast announcing the official start rang out.
“Then we should start the operation soon.”
I don’t plan on doing anything.
If you do that, you can get a high score, but what I’m aiming for is not a score.
I. I will take first place this time.
And in a very stupid way.
This is a way to f*ck up the academy.
However, there are many conditions.
If I reveal my abilities, the academy will have a reason to catch me, so I have to hide my abilities.
However, you must get good grades.
I get high grades, but it shouldn’t be revealed that it’s because of my pure ability.
You may say what a bullsh*t thing to say, but I have to do it, and I am doing it.
‘I didn’t know the Korean military would be this helpful.’
It is possible to occupy a high rank.
The skill of catching is something I learned while I was a soldier.
The difference in abilities between elite soldiers and new soldiers is serious. When you go to the military, you can see privates doing things that corporals find very difficult to do without worrying about it.
Ironically, the things I learned in the military are helping me in my reincarnation after death.
Basic hiding/cover, training based on the assumption of actually fighting the enemy, and many other things.
Because I was able to learn things that were somewhat helpful in these survival situations.
As for skill, seeing Aurors used is also a good factor.
It is difficult to call what I learned in the military a skill. There will be some adjustments.
But why did you learn something before you die that you will use after you die?
Later, I will learn in this world how to survive in the afterlife.
Just like we learned in the military, we apply fake camouflage cream with mud, lie in ambush, and wait.
Ambush slowly and use your energy sense and enhanced hearing to understand your surroundings.
And then I heard someone talking.
“So, low-ranking people should unite and attack high-ranking people.”
“Can I catch it? There are a lot of strong kids this time other than the senior and vice president. “There are rumors that Luna Kerenil and Isaac Evan are stronger than the Chief and Deputy Chief.”
“This is a performance evaluation that assumes a real fight, not a fair sparring. So, you can unite, lay a trap, or make a surprise attack. “If we all attack them secretly, while they are off guard, or while they are sleeping, we will be able to win.”
“That’s right. And anyway, even if you stay still, you won’t be able to climb high. So, you have to catch it now. “No matter how many people are eliminated, they are the ones who will be eliminated anyway, so there is no need to feel unfair.”
The result of what I felt. More than 10 cadets were plotting a plot.
At a glance, it seemed like they were asking the weaker cadets to band together and fight the stronger cadets.
But that is the behavior of a subordinate. When strong people band together and try to win, they end up being hunted by a third party.
The best thing is to team up with a strong player.
The best way to fight together in LoL is to stick with them and then throw them away, just as you would throw them away if you think one of them is going to die.
Of course, if possible.
If you can’t do it, that’s the best option.
I don’t know if it’s because they are still first-year cadets or because they are friends, but the fact that they don’t consider betrayal gives off the impression that they are still young.
Since they usually won’t be detected anyway, you can probably target high-level targets by just hiding.
‘Of course, the professors will also have human heads, so I will tell them to gather in the center later. Still, if I stay still, I’ll be at least half way there.’
Their method is not to aim for a high level, but to get first place. How to betray or unite when you are weak.
If you only care about grades, it is better to leave it alone. It’s not like I’m uniting with anyone, it’s because everyone is enemies except me so I can do this.
However, in order to carry out my strategy, it is better to have a large audience.
Even if I dance PPAP naked, dancing it at home is different from dancing it at Myeongdong Cathedral.
‘In the end, we have to save them… ‘
Since I have no experience, I look for something familiar.
So, friends gather together, but people gather among themselves, so the weak ones gather together.
Then, in the end, they will all be swept away by a coalition of one or two strong people.
And since the powerful are a minority, they have little influence on forming public opinion.
Conclusion: We need to save those bastards to make a fuss.
Even in the community that is the mecca of Buntang, Buntang seeds do not have money in places that are truly ruined.
Slowly, while holding your breath, you chase the opponent. Understand the situation with your senses, not your eyes, and with your feelings, not your ears.
I hide my noise with the sound of leaves rubbing, and I hide my doll by making it out of clay.
Even though the forest is alive and breathing, they slowly approach, holding my breath. Even as things were going on, they were slowly gaining strength.
At some point, the number of people, which had been around 10 years old, exceeded 20 and was approaching 30.
Stupidly.
‘No, you said it was going to be a surprise attack, but do you think it would be a surprise attack with that number of people? ‘Do you think 30 people ambush one person these days?’
Since the upper body strength of Korean men is twice that of women, it is difficult for two adult women to fight and win against one adult man.
Even if the power is the same, the force is not the same and the attack is doubled from range attacks.
There is no guarantee that the sum will be correct.
Still, it is true that they have an advantage in terms of specifications, so there is a possibility if they are attacked by surprise.
There is no way it could be a surprise attack with that number of people.
I was hoping that they would not face a strong enemy.
Just as I said that a surprise attack would not be possible with that number of people, it was unreasonable to hope that we would not be detected.
“A surprise attack is a failure… !”
You are stating the obvious. I had a fight with Ngannou, but when I lost, I was like, damn it… It’s my defeat! What is the difference from what I did?
“Isaac Evan!”
Isaac Evan. When my name was called, I looked up and looked up.
As I looked at the other person, a familiar face caught my eye.
‘He’s that big.’
He was a really strong-looking person I saw in class.
For your information, I have never heard that name.
It’s a comedy why no one appears on WFS despite being called the Golden Horseman.
Was it abandoned along with the abolition of the gold standard?
I feel like I am famous for something famous.
Of all the first graders, there is only one person who appears in WFS.
I haven’t even met that person yet.
Apart from that sentiment.
Because looking at skills was the priority.
I quietly crouched down and watched the battle unfold.
Thump
The ground shakes with a huge sound.
I’ve never seen a dinosaur, but I thought it would have felt like this if dinosaurs existed.
The reason I judged him for looking so damn strong is simple. This is because his height is over 2m 10cm.
It was natural for such a large object to make a thumping sound every time it moved.
By the way.
Why are you making a fuss now? Are you doing this on purpose?
I decided to think that he was probably 16 or 17 years old, so he was doing it because he was drunk on style.
Unlike me, who watches the situation from afar. The 30 cadets involved were very nervous.
Some cadets gathered their trembling bodies and charged at him.
“Quaaa”
I don’t know why he was shouting, but one cadet ran courageously.
And Isaac, who saw the rushing cadet, ended the situation with a simple word.
“I’m sorry. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to control my strength.”
Then, Isaac Evan suddenly says something incomprehensible.
He slowly approached, stopped, looked at him, and then…
Hwiyungㅡ
The right arm of the two arms attached to the huge body was stretched out.
A fist was approaching an unknown cadet at such an incredible speed that even my auror-enhanced vision could not grasp it.
The fist touched an unknown cadet.
And…
Pakakㅡ
The sound of something breaking was heard.
At least, it was a sound that should not be made from a human skull.
“Huh?”
“Just sleep?”
“No way?”
“Hi!”
All the other cadets around him were momentarily taken aback by that sight.
But it is in vain. In actual combat, such slow judgment of the situation will only hasten death. If it has happened, you have to believe it first and then think about the next thing.
The fallen cadet’s magic tool emits a red light as if in danger.
Not long after the protective shield is formed, the light we saw when we came here emanates from the magic tool.
And when the light faded. The unknown cadet no longer remained on this earth.
I still don’t know if it’s this world or this island.
[Cadet No. 134, Cadet Jeff Black, was eliminated.]
The broadcast that rang out forced those who were slow to understand the situation to do so.
“Die!!!! “You monster!!!!”
Another cadet, frightened by the sight, approached him at high speed and swung his sword.
He must have been a high-ranking cadet, so he used his Aura attire to cover his sword with a sword.
“I understand.”
Isaac Evan muttered something unintelligible again.
I just stayed still.
I just stayed really still.
Even though I was hit by an attack.
“Uh… ?”
The aura-clad sword tore through his clothes.
That was it.
I couldn’t go in anymore.
A body strengthened by auror reinforcement has tremendous defensive power.
Even if you get hit by a knife, you will be less injured and will not die.
But human skin cracks even on paper. Even if your body has been augmented with aura enhancements, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt, just because it hurts less.
But that guy is not in pain. Even though I was hit by a sword covered in aura.
‘No, what is that again? Why is that a human and not a dragon?’
In this world, learning sword skills takes precedence over auror strengthening.
The reason for this is that, although there is a difference in difficulty, if you can use Auror Armor, you can deliver an effective hit assuming that the attack hits.
In other words, that guy denied that common sense.
But the surprising facts did not end there.
What’s even more surprising is.
That guy is 17 years old.
The monster Takji who is 2m 10cm tall and looks like he can hit 3×900 with pure muscle is 17 years old?
That’s bullsh*t.
And reality is basically like a dog.
“It’s just been like this since birth. So I apologize in advance.”
What Isaac Evan said next was like a death sentence.
Even with 30 people gathered, there is not enough firepower to kill him. I don’t have enough defense to withstand his attacks.
There was no chance of victory.
If I hadn’t been there.
It’s also good for getting attention.
It was the perfect moment to distort the situation.
“Wait! Isaac Evan. “Only by defeating me will you be able to attack others.”
Strengthen your uvula with aura reinforcement and shout loudly.
Of course, those voices also reached Isaac and the 30 idiots.
“I was deeply moved by what you said. Weak people attack strong people. That’s right. So, I will also face that strong man named Isaac Evan.”
Even if I try my best, I can’t beat everyone here.
This is because my pure ability is similar to my external perspective, excluding Auror awakening.
If you use Auror Awakening, you will rise to the top level, but you can only use it a few times. So I need another way to win on this earth.
So that no one would think that I came in first place because my skills were good.
“Hey… What is that… ?”
“It’s not what I think, is it?”
“Because it’s Abraxas… That’s right… ?”
Everyone is shocked to see me walking out majestically while shouting.
And, those who look at me in confusion at my behavior doubt their eyes when they see not me personally but the number of my secrets.
What I learned while living as a citizen of the Republic of Korea.
A tactic designed to prevent damage to the photos of the heads of state of the two countries directly above Korea.
“hahahahaha! From today onwards, I will break free from the relationship between His Majesty the Emperor and his military subjects, and become one as one. Any attack on me will be considered an attack on His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, anyone who damages this garment commits treason!”
“Hey! That crazy bastard! “I’ve plastered my entire body with pictures of His Majesty the Emperor!!”
Special move, Hwang(Gold)Shield.
Like Pasadin, who became one with the island, he becomes one with His Majesty and blocks attacks.
