chapter 8
8 – I want to be so weak.
“No matter how much I think about it, this is impossible.”
As if another instructor agreed with the opinion of one instructor, he continued.
“It is certainly unprecedented. To think that a student who is confirmed to be in Class F shows such absurd helplessness… “
“Isn’t there a possibility that your potential has been awakened explosively?”
“That is about the same. Even if the talent was displayed, the preparation period was less than a month. During that time, playing with cadet Song Joon-ho, who is at least an A-Class confirmed. It is no exaggeration to say that he is actually a different person.”
“As expected. Like he bribed the cadets… “
“Do you think it makes sense? Among those eliminated is Hwang Bo-han, the son of the King of Kwon. What do you mean he accepts the offer because he regrets it?”
Various opinions were discussed over and over again.
There was no reason why they were so worried.
It was because of Siwoo Choi’s performance this time.
In all other groups, the expected cadets occupied the top spot, but an exception occurred in group G.
This time, the winner had no choice but to speak even more because he received the precious golden apple along with extensive publicity.
“… Could it be that he joined hands with Mine?”
Everybody fell silent at someone’s words.
It was quiet, but it was because he mentioned the biggest possibility.
No matter how talented you are, it is impossible to grow to that extent in a short period of time.
However, if you accept the demon and become a demon, it will change into a possibility.
“… Maybe so.”
“Ha, but apparently, no demonic energy was detected in the examination of the statue. Looking at the CCTV footage, didn’t you even lick your forearm?”
“I must have used some means. No matter how much I think about it, there is no possibility other than that.”
“… Also, do your own research… “
Opinions gradually heated up.
Amidst the atmosphere of confirming that he is a demon even though it is not a fait accompli, the man who had been silent opened his mouth.
“Everyone is ugly.”
“… Instructor Kang Kang-seong, what did you just say?”
“I said it was ugly. She’s Mine? Are all eyes knotted? Are you still wearing the name tag of Instructor?”
Most of the instructors looked at him with a bewildered expression at the words that felt the immense anger.
“Did you notice any trace of Magi in his actions? Did you detect Saihan powers in his technique? Do you think that the one sword he wielded really arrived because he borrowed the power of a demon? No. That is the state he reached after bone-breaking effort and enlightenment.”
“That doesn’t make sense, does it? Common sense… “
“What is common sense? Is it common sense to disparage and undermine a cadet’s real ability? Be honest.”
Kang Hanseong looked around with cold eyes.
“Aren’t you jealous of him?”
“… Watch your mouth. Strong Castle Instructor!”
“No. I have to say something. The sword he showed. If you had eyes, you would have felt it. An unmatched quiet strike while still possessing the overwhelming energy of the group. How many of these people will be able to defeat Cadet Choi Si-woo purely with the sword?”
“Kuhmm… “
“That’s why you’re talking nonsense. Because I don’t want to admit it. Isn’t it because the efforts they have accumulated are too shabby compared to their talents?”
In the end, several impatient instructors stood up and criticized him.
Otherwise, Kang Han-seong silently looked at them.
In the end, President Chen Yuguang, who couldn’t stand it in the increasingly serious atmosphere, intervened.
“Everyone please calm down.”
“But, President!”
“Aren’t my words like words!”
Everyone flinched at the energy spreading out with the angry voice.
The spirit of an Awakener who was once called a legend.
It was literally the dragon’s wrath.
“Let’s put together opinions. Strong Castle Instructor. From your point of view, you probably think it should be sent to the S class, right?”
“Yes. The skills he showed are deservedly S-Class. This is an homage to his strength and a right he deserves.”
Chen Weiguang looked the other way.
“Other instructors must be of the opinion that the S class is ridiculous.”
“Of course! If it is announced like this beyond the unprecedented case of the F class to the S class, there will be protests from many places!”
“This may break the existing order!”
“Ban class is not just a kid’s game! That alone is your status, your qualifications, and your location! 100% Interference from associations and guilds will come in!”
After hearing his opinion, Chen Weiguang was silent for a moment.
As he brushed his beard down, he sighed and opened his mouth.
The result of Siwoo Choi’s class assignment to be decided in a while.
A variety of emotions were revealed on the faces of the instructors who heard it.
* * *
On the other hand, time.
Hwang Bo-han, who was taken to the hospital, quietly opened his eyes.
In front of him, who was embarrassed by not understanding the situation, the family member explained what had happened.
“So you passed out?”
“Yes. Young master.”
“…… “
Hwang Bo-han quietly wiped his forehead.
A seething rage burned in his chest. Barely suppressing his anger, he barely opened his mouth.
“What did you say the name of that worm was?”
“… My name is Siwoo Choi.”
“… Are you a member of Royal Blood? Mr. Choi… I’ve never heard of it, but the blood of a guy who made a name for himself abroad flows.”
“… They are called independents.”
“… Is it.”
Let’s hear it.
It must have been a lot of preparation.
‘A dirty bastard.’
Hwang Bo-han was convinced. That you wrote your hand beforehand.
Whether you spend a lot of money or whatever you do, you’re preparing a heinous move for the arena.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be knocked down in one blow.
Of course, he knows very well that it makes no sense if he thinks soberly.
But none of that mattered to him.
“Siwoo Choi, Siwoo Choi… “
Hwang Bo-han murmured.
Unable to hold back his anger, he slammed the table next to him.
Boom! Hwang Bo-han, who looked at the shattered fragments with the sound, muttered with hostility.
“I will definitely avenge you. Damn guy.”
Of course he didn’t know.
That his own anger actually made him stronger.
The target of revenge is that he likes a message that suddenly pops up.
* * *
[Check the change in Hwang Bo-han’s favorability. Talent stealing becomes possible.]
“Oh, honey.”
What windfall is this?
‘He’s the guy I wasn’t expecting… Is this an unexpected income?’
Looking at the update now, it seems that he came to his senses belatedly.
‘Tsk tsk… If it was a real battle, you would have fallen behind a long time ago.’
Anyway, since he is the son of the proud Hwangbo family, he must have considerable talent.
While a smile came to my mind, I heard Kei’s voice.
▶ Report. Master. You have finished exploring the room. There are no signs of suspicious monitoring devices or spells.
“I had a hard time.”
At present, I had just entered the dormitory after finishing my exams.
There was room number 305 hanging on the doorplate.
Seeing that I was assigned the same room as I was in my previous life, it doesn’t seem to change much even if I return to this part.
‘Anyway, it’s sore.’
Is it because I met Junho Song after a long time?
I was a little excited because I couldn’t even pay for my age.
He showed more cards than expected…
Thanks to that, the idiot-like body was clamoring here and there.
I took a sip of the recovery potion I bought at the store while examining my swollen wrist.
‘I will receive the golden apple unconditionally, so I will get it today or tomorrow at the latest. Then you should be prepared to buy that constitution. You should also check the news and newspapers. It’s soon the woman’s turn to come out of the gate.’
Thinking about the future gave me headaches in many ways.
Well, there are so many things to do…
‘Well, I’m trying to save a world that was ruined once, but it’s strange that it’s easy.’
First of all, I decided to organize the spoils I got today.
▶ View the omitted log again during battle.
[Some people are interested in you.]
[Some people are interested in you.]
[A special person is interested in you.]
[A special person judges you as a dangerous person.]
[Some characters are jealous of you.]
[Some people envy you.]

[Total acquisition points: 19,750 (P)]
“Oh… “
An exclamation came out. It was a whopping 19,000 points.
It was a punishment that was incomparable to the previous life, which was only obtained as a trophy.
‘By the way… A dangerous person?’
Some people don’t know what they think, but the word “Special” Drew some attention.
Is it an emotion that one of the four main characters has? No, the news isn’t widespread yet.’
Not even a day has passed since the exam was over.
No way ordinary cadets would know the outcome.
Then you’re one of the instructors…
‘… Is it him?’
It’s a bit difficult to be vigilant already.
I felt a bit reluctant, but I decided to pass it on because it was useless to think about it right now.
[The reincarnated shadow effect has been activated.]
[Muscle strength increases by 0.1.]
[Agility increases by 0.1.]

[Stamina increases by 0.1.]
‘Wow, they’re expensive.’
As expected, nothing was as effective against time as the real battle.
‘Strength, agility, and stamina are 3 each… Did your intelligence and magical power go up by 1?’
It was a pity that the technique did not rise.
I wished it had gone up a little because even if it went up by 1, the difference in sensation felt by hand was considerable.
‘There’s no need to be impatient.’
Finally, we explored the talent to bring to the contract.
‘… There are fewer of them than I thought.’
I beat more than 20 people, but only 6 people were renewed.
Considering that two of them were Song Joon-ho and Hwang Bo-han, there were actually only four people on the list.
‘Why?’
Is it because I hit too weakly?
At the moment, I was wondering if I should have beaten the thrush with the thought of really killing it.
▶… Denial. Opposite. It was because he was beaten so hard that he passed out before he even had time to feel any emotion. Please adjust your power.
‘Ah, really?’
Eh, the guys who say they are enrolled in the most prestigious academy have to be so weak.
I sorted out the little guys.
As a result, I picked two [Swordsmanship] Traits and raised my [Swordsman’s Ultimate] Mastery by 20%, and the other two looked the most expensive and sold them to the shop.
-[Sale completed. Acquire 4,000 (P).]-
-[Store Friendship increases by 2.]-
-[Total points: 279,000(P)]-
‘Okay, I’ve finished organizing… Is it the main dish now?’
Looks like it’s different from small fish.
A list of brilliant [Song Jun-ho] And [Hwang Bo-han] Appeared before my eyes.
He licked his lips while rubbing his hands.
