chapter 5
Episode 5. Admission Test (2)
– What is the escape route?
– Promised overnight stay?
-yes?
-If you pass the academy, do you live in the dormitory right away? But horses are like a dormitory or a prison, so a free-spirited person like me tries to get out somehow. Then you use that kind of escape route.
-Is it difficult to get out?
-of course. Seohia is not the number one in growth rate for nothing. Even graduate students shiver.
– Then you can go there from now on.
-Are you stupid?
The quality of the information I got from the chat window was better than I expected, so I watched it and climbed the mountain.
Then, at some point, a yellow line draws a horizontal line. When I pause, Richett confirms.
– That’s right.
How do you get through a tree? Not any helicopter. … no way?
I pretended to be caught in a stone beak and naturally leaned on the tree. Then the mugwort, the arm is sucked in, isn’t it?
-uh?
– Blink?
– That looks like a simple portal.
In front of him stood a huge statue of the principal he had seen before.
‘Ritchet. This?’
– Look up.
When I looked up, there was nothing at first, but when I looked at it for a while, a very small, part of a branch, presumed to be the tree I had just picked, appeared and disappeared again.
– The Academy Foresters said there was a passage, so I looked it up.
‘That’s great. Richett too.’
– Whoops.
I got up pretending to be astonished as possible.
“Hey, that’s amazing. There must have been a passage like this. Today’s broadcast will end here.”
-for a moment!
– No, you’re pulling it out here?
Ignoring the anger, I turned off the cam and looked at the statue door.
【Touch Zone】
A holographic hand was visible on a monument detailing the principal’s profile.
‘Am I number one?’
-uh. 30 minutes difference from 2nd place.
The time is quite empty. do you do training? I moved to the side and called the beach.
shoot-
tickle, tickle.
The sun is particularly strong today. Sunglasses, a beach chair, and lastly, Nara took out a fashion magazine from the locker and opened it.
After a while, someone comes up gasping. When the boy found me, he was startled.
“professor. Is the statue right here?”
professor?
In fact, there must have been no one in front of him, so he could be mistaken.
“The name?”
“It’s Swift.”
When asked for his name, he gave the name of the hero. The boy approached me after touching the touch zone.
“Can I rest here?”
A hero named Swift in a hard tone. I want a guy who can handle the wind. I wondered how he came earlier than the Queen who uses wealth, but with this guy, there is a possibility.
“chair. You may bring it.”
“it’s okay. Sand is comfortable.”
Then, a boy lying on his back and choosing to breathe. A body with red hair and a stout body. A distinctive feature is the colored glasses.
“Who is the Queen?”
“Yes?”
Ah, not a queen yet.
Queen is a nickname given after becoming a superhero. The name is probably… .
what was it
And Bonnie, I don’t remember calling Queen by name.
“Blonde, blue eyes, flying and fast girl.”
“I do not know.”
It’s strange, I would have noticed it if I had been flying.
Soon the next guy arrives and takes turns looking at the statue with us, looking like Swift.
When I pointed to the touch zone with my chin, I put my hand on it and came over here, breathing a sigh of relief.
“Soup, you are really fast!”
A girl with wavy hair. Its height of 3m is very impressive.
“It’s Swift. And when the character is released, a shadow is formed.”
“Oh.”
gigantic.
It is one of the rarest of the reinforcement-type traits. The maximum height is determined based on the body before the gigantic battle, so the more powerful the innate physical ability, the more powerful it is.
A girl looking down at Swift with a tall height of 2m even after disabling the trait.
“The name?”
“This is Margaret. Take good care of me.”
“nice to meet. If you want a chair, you can bring it.”
“yep!”
While listening to Margaret’s gossip about how seagulls are or how envious they are because they’re real, I saw a group of groups competing fiercely.
“Nero will take third place!”
“The jackal is a little faster.”
“Ah, yes.”
Five people were ranked by a short shot.
“Guys!”
They were guided by Margaret, brought chairs, and sat around them.
“Jackal, where are you running recklessly on your feet?”
“If you feel sad, you too have awakened in the animal world.”
“Margaret. Are you a professor?”
“yes. A deal you made yourself on this beach.”
“Five-“
“Even with the magic of the Summon School, this level… !”
“Anthony. no one asked Don’t be angry with yourself.”
“huh.”
It instantly became noisy.
When people gather like this, they might doubt me, but it’s a bit strange to think that everyone is like that.
– Two are coming.
“Aww!”
“Move!”
When I turned my head to the commotion, some waves and ice were approaching.
A girl on a surfboard in a swimsuit and a boy running on ice on skates.
‘Twins?’
I folded the magazines and watched their races behind me.
“Isn’t the professor also curious about other real worlds?”
I nodded as Margaret, who was friendly enough, approached me and asked.
“Because we have nothing to do.”
“Yes? uh… If you are a professor, don’t you see it often during lectures?”
I shrugged my shoulders and approached the two who touched the statue as if smashing into the door.
“Good job.”
“Uh, who won?”
“Heal the wound on the forehead first. There is a first aid kit in the place where the kids gather.”
“Yeah, so who?”
“You were fast.”
“Good! Caroline. From now on, call me brother.”
“It’s X.”
“hey!”
The moment he passed the twins who were walking, he was about to put his hand on the touch zone.
“Heh heh, heh.”
A blonde girl with finely braided hair and big horn-rimmed glasses walks stumbling.
I withdraw my attention and turn around.
‘… Well?’
I remembered Queen’s graduation photo that I had acquired by accident.
with a bang.
He turned his head to look at the blonde girl again. If you put away your glasses and put your double eyelids in… .
“queen?”
Looking back, the features are definitely Queen’s.
Oh my gosh.
“I… .”
A girl looking up at me, who is blocking the touch zone.
“… Please stay away.”
A voice that sounds like crawling. Look down. dwarf body.
The girl in front of me was not the confident and powerful Queen I knew.
“wait.”
“Ah yes.”
The eyebrows narrowed as he accepted my words even though he was bewildered.
Was this the reason she always turned away when she asked Queen about her school days?
beep-
[Pass the entrance exam]
[Rank: 10]
“ah!”
A very sorry Queen. I smiled and gave up my seat.
“Didn’t you try harder?”
Quinn stares at him without a word. The atmosphere is the same as back then. I giggled as usual.
The children are astonished when they retrieve the beach and push the statue door into it.
“Tenth? Were you a student?”
“You tricked us!”
“Nonsense.”
“hey! Margaret, you said you were a professor.”
“That’s because Swift is my professor… .”
“a. Somehow, it was too long.”
“Let’s go, too!”
* * *
[Congratulations] Passing the entrance exam (congratulations)
The auditorium with old analog placards was wafting with a faint scent of latex.
As soon as we sat down in the corner, the guys came in.
“Hey, he.”
“Leave it. He said he shouldn’t pay attention to a guy who was so eager to get out.”
“That’s right.”
If there are people staring at me like that.
“Are you good at acting? Where did you buy your sunglasses?”
“Are there waves on the beach?”
“Mediterranean? Can I freeze some?”
There were children, like Margaret and the twins, who were kind enough to ask questions.
After about an hour after giving an appropriate answer, all the empty chairs were filled, and a familiar man appeared on the podium in front.
“We will announce the winners. Special notices and notices are attached at the bottom, so be sure to check them all the way to the end.”
It’s the contract man who got a drop kick from me at Seohia Station.
You are respectful in the vacancy.
As he manipulated something on the podium, a holocard appeared in front of each of them.

[Notice]
[After dinner, please gather here again by 13:00.]
[*Student Manhyuk Nam, please go to the assistant principal’s office as soon as you see this notice.]
The twins on either side of me glanced at my holocard and tapped on the shoulder.
“Your sympathetic personality is bad. Be careful.”
“As soon as you walk in, you say you didn’t do well.”
“Yes, thank you.”
As she was about to get up, a surf girl named Caroline grabbed her collar.
“I’ll wait. Let’s eat together. Margaret, you too.”
“good!”
“I?”
“You either come or not.”
Eventually, the four headed to the principal’s office. A contract man guides us and wags the corners of our lips about what’s so fun along the way.
smart.
“I have brought you, Vice Principal.”
“Only Manhyuk-kun, please come in.”
I left behind the guys who told me to stay nearby and went inside. I expected a high-class office, but unexpectedly, a hanok floor came out.
“sit down please.”
Short gray hair. A straight waist and wrinkles that seemed to seep into wisdom. Traces of whether she might have made a name for herself as a beauty when she was young can be seen all over her face.
squeak.
Green tea water flows into the teacup.
“listen.”
Hum.
As I was savoring tea for a while, I heard a bell from somewhere. It puts my mind at ease… .
‘Haw!’
this woman. Was it mental?
It was almost completely released in an instant, but the memories of being brutally beaten by an Awakener in the past came to mind, and I managed to get my mind right.
“What is the dragon?”
When I nervously put down the teacup, the eyes of the sympathizer moved.
“The principal told me before going on a business trip. An examinee named Man-hyeok Nam would be in the top 10, but it must have been terrifying.”
The principal seems to have sensed my actions to some extent.
It’s like a serpent-like inspiration.
“Is that so.”
“So there will be additional tests going on.”
“… which?”
“Isn’t Nam Man-hyuk a real person?”
A sympathizer who smiles gracefully.
“Yes.”
“How about the tournament?”
Gray eyes staring straight at me, stopping while organizing tea.
“I don’t care.”
“It’s surprising. Combat would be difficult on the beach.”
I thought so too at first.
“Even mutts are eaten in my territory.”
“Confidence is good to see. Okay. Then let’s proceed that way. Go.”
He got up, opened the door, and asked like a light throw.
“Can I change to another sport if I say I don’t like it?”
The superintendent smiled brightly.
“no.”
I closed the door and went out.
* * *
“Am I right?”
“Yeah, he’s a funny kid.”
The contract man and the vice principal continued the conversation while looking at Nam Man-hyuk’s back as he went to the restaurant with the other children.
“He’s going to be big. good luck There must be an official portal there.”
“Maybe.”
Priscilla Rudra, the vice principal of the Seoul Hero Academy and the most powerful in the school, blew an interference wave at my son just like the one he had just used.
“Heh heh. Mom! great!”
I’ve been through a lot in the past, so even my son with high mental resistance gets caught here. How did you get over it so casually?
Moreover, it is surprising that the tournament was OK without hesitation with such a characteristic.
a few days ago. I think I can understand why the principal was so happy when he came in after kicking the door.
“Luck.”
not.
It is clear that Nam Man-hyuk’s propaganda stemmed from thorough information gathering.
Despite the location of the opening, it is virtually impossible for an outsider to discover the relevant portal.
“Are there any insiders?”
often comes out A ignorant idiot who gets money by selling academy information to outsiders.
By the way, the way Nam Man-hyuk uses information is interesting.
By releasing the hard-to-find information through you tube, didn’t you erase all the criticism that would come later?
Suddenly, number 10 appeared. There was no such boy in any broadcast. Isn’t that a parachute? Sohia is rotten. The same would have been said for sure.
Arrogance or confidence?
Priscilla, who felt as if she had returned to her youth after a short while, stared at Nam Man-hyuk, who was getting farther away.
“You will find out soon.”
* * *
Auditorium after meal.
“The re-examination was decided due to Nam Man-hyuk’s attitude toward the examination, who was seated at the back. The sport is a tournament.”
aww!
Nearly a hundred numbers stare at me at the same time.
No, that contract worker is crazy. Why is my name there?
apart from that kind of stuff. When I get a lot of attention on one body, the villain gene inside me moves my mouth at will.
“What. What are you going to do?”
