I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

8 – Intentional Coincidence

Kiii……

Unlike the 2nd round, where we rushed right after the start, both the goblins and I adjusted our postures without moving to each other.

“Kieek!!!”

Shushu Shuk-!

The start of the battle is the preemptive strike of the goblins with long-range attacks.

Starting with the goblin shaman’s command, poisonous needles, arrows, and stone axes rained down towards me.

Chaengchaengchaeng-!

Light poison needles and arrows reached me first.

I dodged the poison needle with the minimum amount of movement and hit the flying arrow with my sword.

And two axes that flew slightly later than those.

Chaeeng-!

With the most natural movement ‘according to the plan’, follow the golden sense and hit it high.

Knock-

Shoo-!

The 2nd ax is hung on the sword like in the 2nd round, and shoots at the goblin shaman who is casting a spell from the moment it appears.

f*ck-!

However, the ax was blocked by the shield soldier, and soon after completing the spell, the shaman appeared in his hand as a

“Kie-!”

The shaman with a triumphant smile soon threw a fireball at me.

I looked closely at the fireball being thrown at me with the

Diring!

[Learn ”!]

In an instant, Destroys all the components of , And based on the destroyed components, instantly acquires and masters .

However, what I need to pay attention to now is something else.

What we need to see now is the central point of magic and the flow of magical power.

I gently brought the tip of the sword toward the center of the

The size of a fingernail.

And without rejecting the flow of magical power, go along with it——

Sleep-!

──As it is, it gently streams fireballs.

Diring!

[Excellent technology! Magic parrying is perfectly successful!]

[The level of ” Has risen! (LV4 ＞ LV5)]

─Kwagang!!!

The spilled fireball hit the ground and exploded in a big way.

And a black orb that was subtly visible in the ground dug up by the explosion of the fireball.

Hong Hong Hong-

And then, on top of that orb, the ax that was hit “Into the air” Falls down—

Clang-!

──I broke the marble.

Suddenly-

The goblin spearmen who tried to run towards me at the same time as the marbles were broken, and the goblin archers who were putting on their swords.

And even the shaman who looks dumbfounded by his magic being drained.

All of that disappeared like a mirage.

“…What is it?

When I was watching that scene, I was acting like I didn’t know what it was, so that what I was aiming for ‘intentionally’ wouldn’t be discovered.

I heard Deuce’s bewildered voice.

“……Huh, I’ve been there since Valhara Academy was founded. It’s the first time I’ve seen a scene like this in my life as a spirit… Should I call it luck, or what should I say…”

“…Deuce, what happened…?”

“I see… Do you remember the other passage condition we talked about earlier, Human? That condition is a monster summoning orb, to be exact, an orb with the ability to reproduce… Anyway, to find and destroy it. That was the condition. “

“…So am I passing?”

“…Yeah, well. Originally, it’s a kind of easter egg that even high-level seekers have a hard time finding, but… Rules are rules. Congratulations on passing the first test, Human.”

As Deuce declared, a small gate the size of a man appeared in front of him.

“If you pass through the gate in front of you, you will be taken to the space where the second test is held. Human.”

“…Ah, yes. See you next time, Deuce.”

“Originally, the acceptance rate hasn’t been decided, so I’ll tell you not to say nonsense… But somehow, I have a feeling that if it’s you, I’ll see you at the academy again, human. Then again next time.”

After Deuce’s words, I threw myself toward the gate.

***

The time when all eligible test takers entered the test.

Somewhere in the academy, a huge room that could accommodate hundreds of people.

And there was a huge round table inside and dozens of figures sitting around the round table.

In the air at the round table, the test takers taking the test were being played back in real time.

“…Wow! This year is one of the bountiful harvests!”

“…I see, to the extent that I wonder if something is happening on the continent…”

“A tree that could have been a senior in an ordinary year is already over two fingers this year alone…”

“That’s true, but the level of the others has definitely risen as well.”

“…Yeah. Even the middle-ranking candidates in this year’s exam are in the upper ranks compared to last year.”

Those who gather at the round table and evaluate the test students are famous people on the continent.

They were the professors of Valhalla Academy.

Professors were examining the videos of the test students in detail, talking about the test students with other professors next to them.

“Professor Cassimes, what kind of test students are you interested in?”

“I mean, Professor Markard? …Hmm. I am also a swordsman called the two great mountain ranges among the sword families of the continent, two giraffes from those two families.”

“Ah, are those children…Ohhh! Those two are definitely incomparable to others! In terms of level, they are already in the realm of superhumans at this age!”

I talked to a middle-aged man with a gentle impression of a scholarly style and an old man with white hair.

The old man looked old enough to question whether he could teach students, but he looked strong enough that it was easy to see that the body from the neck down held immense power.

At that time. An elderly man, Professor Casimes, spoke to a woman who was alone quietly staring at the students taking exams.

“Who cares most about Professor Elena Pisen?”

“……I am that guy.”

On the screen Elena pointed to, there was a scene where Lee Seon-woo had just blocked the goblin’s surprise attack and counterattacked.

“…Hmm, he sure has an excellent sense. The moment he recognized it, he immediately dodged and counterattacked. But, is that enough to bother him?”

“No, that sense also catches my eye. More than that, it’s because of the sword at his waist.”

“…Eh? Umm…….Huh! You mean you brought only an old, rusted iron sword to take this academy test that others struggled to bring with them with excellent equipment? I don’t know if this is arrogance or confidence. Tsk tsk…! “

Cassimes lightly clicks his tongue.

And then. There was a scene where Lee Seon-woo, who started the second round, grabbed a sword and ran.

“Huh…?! …Umm….Hoh. Indeed….

As if I felt something in that scene. Cassie Mess stopped biting his tongue and concentrated on sticking out his body as if he were drowning in the screen.

He soon spoke in a voice full of interest.

“This guy is funny…!”

“…That’s quite right”

“Looking at how he handles a sword, he’s a guy who’s never learned anything. But, he’s strong…! He has the ability to swipe down the average guy with only his talent. By any chance, at that age, he’s already entered the realm of a master. Are you wearing…?”

Kasimes’ eyes sparkle as he sees Seonwoo Lee wielding a sword.

Eleni glanced at the old man and opened her mouth.

“Instinctive and linear swordsmanship that only thinks about slashing the enemy… But there’s no waste. It’s a very efficient swordsmanship.”

“It looks a bit difficult in a person-to-person battle… But, to say this level of skill without learning! …Maybe your sword skills are better than the two sword families’ giraffe sons!”

“Come to think of it… I’m not using the rigid body technique, which augments the body’s abilities with magic power, or the magic enhancement, which injects magic power into weapons…”

“Hmm! Are you confident that you don’t need to use it? …Have you never learned how to use magic?”

“Heh…. There’s no way someone who has even qualified for the Valhalla Academy exam will do that.”

“Ha ha! I was joking too!”

As Alena and Cassimes were commenting on Seon-Woo Lee, Professor Markard spoke to the two in a joking voice.

“Then do you two think candidate Seonwoo Lee will be able to become the chief?”

“It’s too much!”

“It’s too much.”

Elena and Casimes speak clearly. Professor Markard also smiled and continued.

“hahahaha! That’s right! I was joking too!….…No, it’s not that Seonwoo is not talented…”

“…That’s right. If it wasn’t for this year, the possibility of becoming the chief would have been high…”

“If only that child hadn’t been…”

The eyes of the three people who were talking turned to one screen.

The one on the screen was a girl.

However, the girl was already on her way to the gate to the second test, leaving 8 ice statues behind.

“The greatest genius ever of the Icicle family… No, is it a monster…”

“…I’m sorry to the other applicants, but that’s so different even though it’s a different level…!!!”

“…500 Years ago. It makes me wonder if the childhoods of the five heroes who defeated demons were like that.”

“Perhaps, he has already surpassed the level of a superman and reached the realm of a demon……No, even the level of a hero if he’s good.”

“…Well, let’s skip this story. Let’s watch the other test takers again!”

“Finally, candidate Seonwoo Lee is starting the third round.”

The eyes of the three go back to Seonwoo Lee’s exam scene. Soon, Lee Seon-woo is amazed to see the fireball of the goblin shaman.

“Ohh! What a magic parry!”

“Ahm, it’s a skilled swordsman! It’s a low-level magic, but it’s an excellent spill! It’s quite good!”

“Yes, it would have exploded right away if there was even the slightest deviation from the place where it finds the central point of magic and synchronizes with the flow of magic in an instant. Seeing that it does it without hesitation, it seems that it has quite a bit of mental strength.”

While the three of them were admiring Lee Seon-woo’s swordsmanship. The ax that was thrown into the sky fell and broke the marble, and the test was over.

“That’s right! After spilling it, when the enemies are confused, I have to hit it at once… Eww?”

“Aha, ahahahahaha!!!!!”

“…Puffy.”

An absurd voice leaked out of Kasimes, who was immersed in Lee Seon-woo, Professor Marcard laughed out loud, and Elena turned her head to cover her mouth and suppressed her laughter.

“……Puhahahahaha!!! I tried to show more skills, but it ended like this!”

“Ahahahahaha! It’s an easter egg that can only be found when you reach the level of a high-level explorer, but I thought you’d find it like that! I really couldn’t have imagined it! Ahahahahaha!”

“Kheheheum! Luck alone might be the best ever. Then let’s see the other test takers.”

As Cassimes and Marquard continued to laugh, Elena cleared her throat and cleared the situation.

“Ah. Yes, yes. It’s been a while since everyone laughed so hard…”

“Okay, then this time I’ll take a look at the candidate I care about.”

After seeing Lee Seon-woo cross the gate, the three of them turned their attention to another screen.
