Episode 134
“Then the exam will begin in earnest. Before that, I will briefly mention how the test will be conducted.”
‘Lee Baek-rim’ said.
He looked alternately at the two people standing in front of him.
Nam Do-yoon stood on the left, and Lee Won-jun stood on the right.
“The test content is simple. I will use the same genjutsu on both of you. “Afterwards, we will measure how quickly you come out of the genjutsu.”
“…”
“The greater the difference between the time it takes ‘Lee Won-jun’ and ‘Nam Do-yoon’ to get out of the illusion, the greater the level of Lee Won-jun’s illusion reversal skills, right? “I will grade you based on that.”
“…”
“If ‘Lee Won-jun’ gets out 5 minutes faster than Nam Do-yoon, he gets 5 points in class C. If you get out 10 minutes faster, you get 10 points. If you get out 20 minutes faster, you get 15 points. 20 Points for more than 30 minutes. In this way, we will give additional points to class C.”
“…”
“Is there anything you don’t understand about what I explained? “Out of the two of you.”
‘Lee Baek-rim’ looked at the two in turn and said.
But, as expected, the two of them just stared at me blankly.
Of course. There can be no questions.
“Then let the test begin… “
The moment when ‘Lee Baek-rim’ was about to start the exam.
Namdo Yoon raised his hand.
“I have a question?”
“…I have a question?”
“Yes.”
‘Lee Baek-rim’ looked at Nam Do-yoon carefully.
“Yes. “Tell me.”
“There are some points in the criteria for awarding points that I don’t understand.”
“… Is there something you don’t understand about the part about awarding points?”
“Yes.”
‘Lee Baek-rim’ tilted his head.
What on earth do you not understand?
“What part do you not understand?”
“Isn’t it possible that I can escape faster than ‘Lee Won-jun’? “The criteria for calculating that score are based on the premise that ‘Lee Won-jun’ will naturally be able to pull off the illusion faster than me.”
“Of course, ‘Nam Do-yoon’ came out to show ‘Lee Won-jun’ how good he is at reversing illusions, right?”
“But, isn’t it possible that I can pull off the genjutsu faster than Lee Wonjun?”
“…”
“Then, I think there should definitely be additional points given to class 1-A if I can pull off the genjutsu faster, right? “That standard only measures the extra points given to class C.”
Wonjun Lee said with a chuckle at those words.
“That won’t happen, so wake up. You idiot. “
“…”
“There are children who buy and worry unnecessarily about things that will never happen? “Wow, life is really tiring.”
“I wasn’t asking you, was I?”
Nam Do-yoon said.
“…What did you just say? Say it again.”
Wonjun Lee frowned at those words.
“I didn’t say that to you. So, can you please stay still and not show up?”
“…This crazy guy..”
When Lee Won-jun tried to approach Nam Do-yoon with a completely flushed expression.
“hahahahaha.”
Someone’s loud laughter was heard.
“…Who are you? “Are you saying the current situation is funny?”
Wonjun Lee looked at the source of the laughter with a frown.
From Noble mtl dot com
“…?”
Then, he made a puzzled expression.
Because the main character of that laughter was Lee Baek-rim.
“You are a really interesting student. Well, I like it. That’s a fairly valid point. However, you know why you came here, right?”
“Yes. “It came out to highlight how excellent ‘Lee Wonjun’ is at reversing illusions, right?”
“I know very well. And yet, do you still say something like that?”
“Yes. “I am confident that I will be much better at reversing illusions than Wonjun Lee.”
“…That’s good confidence. What. At that age, you have to have that kind of spirit. But, will that really happen?”
“Yes. “I am absolutely confident.”
‘Lee Baek-rim’ stared at ‘Nam Do-yoon’ without saying a word.
There was no wavering in his eyes.
He seems to really believe that.
“Good. Well, it’s not difficult. Then, let’s set the rules like this. “If ‘Nam Do-yoon’ gets out even 1 second faster than ‘Lee Won-jun,’ well… What score should I give him?”
‘Lee Baek-rim’ said while stroking his chin.
“Can I tell you what I think?”
‘Lee Won-jun’ raised his hand and said.
“Yes. “Tell me.”
“How about giving 50 points?”
“…I really want to, but the only score I can give you is 20 points in this test. Originally, the maximum number of points that could be allocated to one supervisor was only 20.”
“Then, I can bet on the score of class 1-C, right?”
“..Yes? “Could you please explain in detail what you mean by that?”
‘Lee Baek-rim’ shook his head and said.
“The maximum score the teacher can give is 20 points, but there is another rule for peer competition, right? “Representatives who participate in class competitions can increase the money by risking their class’ scores.”
“…Hoo.”
“So, since both classes 1-A and 1-C currently have 30 points, why not bet on that and bet 50 points in this match?”
“It doesn’t seem like a bad idea, but…”
“Right? Therefore..”
‘Lee Won-jun’ looked at ‘Nam Do-yoon’ and said with a grin.
“Don’t make it complicated, but if you get out of here faster than me, you take 30 points from class 1-C and 20 points from the teacher, for a total of 50 points for your class.
However, if I get out faster than you, class 1-C will take the 30 points from class 1-A and the 20 points given by the teacher, for a total of 50 points.”
“…”
“What do you think? Are you going to do it? “You said it so confidently, but you’re not going to take it out, are you?”
“…”
Nam Do-yoon remained silent.
“Well, if you’re really scared, you don’t have to. But, isn’t it a bit much to leave out the person who boasted earlier that he would definitely win?”
“…”
However, Nam Do-yoon did not answer.
His expression looked quite disturbed.
Well, of course. There’s no way he could accept that.
“Okay. It’s natural to feel burdened. Because 30 points in your class would be too much just for bluffing. Just proceed as usual..”
“No. Wait a minute.”
Nam Do-yoon cut him off.
“Uh. “Just think about it.”
“No. Let’s do it. “Let’s do it no matter what.”
“..What?”
“That’s a really good idea.”
I was confused for a moment. I never thought there would be a crazy person giving away points like this.
If there was such a good method, I should have suggested it first.
“Are you really going to do it?”
‘Lee Won-jun’ said with a bewildered expression.
“Uh. Of course. What should I do? Should I do it first?”
Namdo Yoon rolled up his arms and said.
“What on earth do you really believe?”
“Stop.”
Lee Baek-rim’s voice rang out in the auditorium.
There was silence in the auditorium.
“I understand both of your opinions. Then, this match is a contest with a total of 50 points at stake. Do you both agree?
“Yes.”
Both nodded.
“Good. Instead, I will decide the order. ‘Lee Wonjun,’ please come forward.”
“Yes. All right.”
‘Wonjun Lee’ grinned and started walking forward.
Soon, I stood in front of ‘Lee Baek-rim’.
“Then, from now on, I will cast the genjutsu spell.”
‘Lee Baek-rim’ extended her palm towards ‘Lee Won-jun.’
Then, a purple magic circle began to be drawn in his palm.
The magic power from the purple magic circle soon attacked ‘Lee Won-jun’.
His pupils began to lose focus.
Click-
From then on, ‘Lee Baek-rim’ clicked the button on the stopwatch he was holding.
The fact that the pupil lost focus was proof that the person had fallen into illusion magic.
‘I’ll be out in about 3 minutes.’
The illusion magic used by ‘Lee Baek-rim’ was a fairly light magic.
And exactly two minutes have passed.
‘Lee Won-jun’s’ pupils began to return to focus.
Click-
‘Lee Baek-rim’ pressed the button on the stopwatch.
‘Hoo.’
He was more useful than I thought.
It won’t be easy to solve this in 2 minutes.
“How many minutes did it take for me to get out?”
‘Lee Won-jun’ looked at ‘Lee Baek-rim’ and said.
“2 Minutes.”
“..hahahaha.”
Hearing those words, ‘Lee Won-jun’ smiled and looked at ‘Nam Do-yoon.’
He was confident that he would definitely win.
“Then, please come forward next, ‘Nam Do-yoon’.”
‘Nam Do-yoon’ walked in front of ‘Lee Baek-rim.’
“Then, let us begin.”
‘Lee Baek-rim’ extended his hand towards ‘Namdo Yoon’.
This time, the same purple magic circle that was used on ‘Lee Won-jun’ began to be drawn.
The color and shape of the magic circle completely matched the one used for ‘Lee Won-jun.’
However, ‘Lee Wonjun’ was able to notice.
He had a slightly different energy from the magic circle that was cast on him.
It is such a subtle difference that only people who make illusions their business can feel.
‘It’s probably five times more difficult than mine.’
And that subtle difference creates a bigger difference than you think.
At first glance, they look the same, but the difference in difficulty is about 5 times greater.
Soon, ‘Nam Do-yoon’s’ pupils also began to lose their shine.
Click-
The sound of ‘Lee Baek-rim’ pressing the stopwatch was heard.
When he saw that, ‘Lee Wonjun’ grinned.
‘It took me 2 minutes to get out, so it will take him about 30 minutes.’
I felt so good.
If he loses this match, he will probably get a lot of criticism from his classmates.
Not only did he lose, he risked as much as 30 points for half the score.
It is up to you.
Click-
But, it was strange.
Apparently less than 10 seconds had passed, but the sound of ‘Lee Baek-rim’ pressing the stopwatch was heard.
When you press the stopwatch again, it means that the person has escaped the genjutsu, right?
“…What? Did you make a mistake?”
You clearly made a mistake.
‘Lee Won-jun’ looked at ‘Lee Baek-rim.’
However, his expression was unusual.
His pupils were fluttering.
‘…No way?’
‘Lee Won-jun’ looked back at ‘Nam Do-yoon’ with a nervous expression.
His pupils had found light again and were looking completely at him.
