Episode 28 Midterm exam preparation period.(1)
* * *
The change of seasons is a factor that all living things are sensitive to.
As long as I am a living creature, I cannot escape from it.
But I don’t feel the change of season at all.
It may sound like you don’t know anything, but since Ainir is an island located near the equator in the South Pacific after the cyclone has been raging, it is normal that it should have been as muggy as early summer in Korea, even in April.
However, Ainir, where Trinity Academy is located, was simply maintaining the same temperature and humidity as usual.
Of course, with the power of science.
So, I was able to sleep comfortably without suffering from the heat and having to sleep through the night.
Oh, it’s actually a lie to say that I didn’t sleep at all.
It’s not that I woke up from sleep or that the quality of my sleep had deteriorated, but it’s because it’s true that I couldn’t sleep easily because of the midterm exam public tournament schedule approaching.
But doesn’t that have to do with the seasons?
Obviously, Trinity Academy was continuously creating an optimal environment for people to live in.
As I was living in such a comfortable environment, a week went by so quickly even though it was quite a long time.
“The weather is nice.”
“I know. It would be great to go out to play on a day like this.”
“Skip the midterm public tournament?”
“Sure.”
Of course, this guy who makes these kind of noises without any hesitation is Chun Hyeon-woo.
In fact, that guy’s mind is probably the mind of most Trinity Academy cadets.
There is no denying that April is a good time to go to places such as cherry blossom viewing since the weather would have been quite nice even if it was somewhere other than here or Ainir.
who wouldn’t
It is clear that everyone wants to play while feeling the warm sunlight, the cool breeze that tickles the nose, and the energy of life in full bloom.
“But you can’t just go to Trinity Academy and be like that.”
“right… .”
Chun Hyun-woo sighed once, opened the door and entered the classroom.
“Chun Hyeon-woo and our Shaman King Park Seong-jin, are you here?”
“Why do you always come out so early?”
“I came all night. I can’t even sleep.”
“What’s wrong with you that you can’t sleep?”
“When I think of the midterm public tournament, my hands and feet are already trembling.”
Even James, who has an unruly personality, can’t escape from the magic of the public exam.
Even considering that, it’s surprising.
That guy has all those worries.
“What, why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t just come to the S class either. I ate more jjambap here than you did.”
“No, just… .”
Actually, thinking about it, I’m not in a position to worry about anyone.
Even if James had a ruthless personality, if he had been so reckless that he could not even get ahead of himself, he would not have been able to cross the threshold of the S-Class, even if he had excellent ideas.
Rather, I was the one to worry about.
In the midst of conversations about the midterm exam public tournament, which everyone has come close to.
“nice to meet. Guys. Seeing that they are already making a lot of noise, it seems that they have completely forgotten how they were beaten and fussed by a villain a week ago.”
Even with that said, Vincent, who looked quite happy, came into the classroom, probably because everyone was in good shape.
“Hey, I should have won.”
“Yeah, okay, I won, so don’t bother me any more. Did everyone prepare well for the midterm public tournament?”
The classroom, which had a bustling atmosphere, suddenly becomes quiet.
Well, when professors and teachers talk about exams, it seems like any world is quiet.
“Yeah, of course I wouldn’t. So, starting today, I will start special training.”
“”yes?””
“Why are you all screaming like that? I believe that I am not doing this to be nonsense after coming to S-Class and being pushed back by the lower class cadets.”
“Hey, f*ck you. f*ck off… .”
“It’s cocky and naval, and the special training is simple. Do you remember when I said that the theme of this midterm public tournament was street fighting? From now on, until the midterm exam, we will conduct training in the city area and other environmental options as well.”
Sighs are heard everywhere.
Even the urban environment is quite annoying, but it was a natural reaction because it was obvious that the inconvenience would be doubled if I added other options.
“No complaints? Then we go straight to the training room.”
“”yes.””
* * *
The training room, which had been coming for a long time, was crowded.
Well, since the midterm exam is just around the corner, it is normal for everyone to train hard.
“Who wants to hit first?”
“I’ll do it.”
“Oh, it’s Katarina. Would you like to train together?”
The man who suddenly intervened was Chan-wook Seo, who was unexpectedly the head of the movie watching club.
It was a bit absurd, but it wasn’t very strange.
As he is also a U-class cadet, there is nothing strange about fighting Katarina, who is an S-class.
“I don’t care, but there are some very annoying conditions attached to this training, are you okay?”
“I do not care.”
“Are you okay, Professor?”
“then. Do what you like.”
In that way, the match between S-class Katarina and U-class Chan-wook Seo was accomplished.
Naturally, this news quickly spread inside the training ground, and the other cadets who were training stopped training and turned their attention to these two superhumans.
[User recognized. You are synchronizing your thinking. please wait for a moment.]
[Users Chan-wook Seo and Katarina Velyaeva have been synchronized. Please set up training.]
“I do not set up the training.”
“You said that training would be cumbersome, but it was Professor Vincent after all.”
“Isn’t this normal?”
“If you say that a cadet like Katarina has troublesome conditions, anyone can predict that it will not be difficult. And I know that there is no other professor other than Professor Vincent who rolls the cadets like that.”
Is this Professor Alice?
I thought of a middle-aged woman, younger than I thought.
If you look at it from the outside, you’re in your early to mid 30’s?
It’s not a very popular club, but I thought he wasn’t a particularly great professor, but he was a U-class professor.
Bigger than I thought… Wait, Alice?
Alice’s Strange Mirror.
U-Class advisor Alice.
Do you have any contact points?
You might think that they are simply the same person, but my sip was telling me that the two had something to do with each other.
The subject of Alice’s strange mirror was never explained in the play, and there was no mention of Alice, the U-class advisor, so I didn’t know, but maybe it has something to do with it.
I’m going to have some doubts.
“The environment is the city area, the climate is rain, the time is late at night, and there are a few citizens.”
[The training settings have been completed.]
It’s really not that difficult.
A training setup like that would be very tiring.
“It’s a setting where you can’t really find even the slightest bit of compassion. Professor Vincent is really good.”
“When we were active duty, we were put into a lot more fields than this, but what do you do?”
“I still miss my youth.”
“Are we still young?”
[Countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, training has started.]
That’s fun.
Alice, you’re older than I thought.
In fact, even Oscar, who is hundreds of years old, still looks like a middle-aged person, so unlike her appearance, Alice may have aged quite a bit.
“First, let’s practice and watch.
“okay.”
Although Seo Chan-wook is a U-class, he is not a cadet suitable for combat.
He became a U-Class in recognition of the usefulness of his thinking power, so he was able to get high grades without any particular focus on combat training.
Nevertheless, the reason he continues to participate in combat training is probably because he has a longing for the title of a hero.
The reason his death power is not suitable for battle is that the third ability, which is generally the strongest thinking ability, is an enchantment type ability.
Of course, in the general fantasy world, he is portrayed as a strong person just by being able to put an Auror on his sword, but Takapo Dream is in a world with a fairly high power level, so he can’t get into the U-class to the extent that he can only put an Auror on his sword.
Still, why is Seo Chan-wook in U-Class?
That’s because his enchantment performance is incredibly powerful.
Enchants powerful damage absorption.
Simple but great ability.
Although there is a disadvantage that it does not apply to living things and only applies to inanimate objects, it has a significant advantage in that it completely ‘absorbs’ damage rather than simply resistance to destruction.
For example, if there is a shield that never breaks, and even if the shield blocks the opponent’s attack, the impact will be passed on to you.
However, since such an accident can be prevented, it can be said that Chan-wook Seo’s ability is quite good for protecting the allies’ line.
Well, the first ability, manpower, is an excellent ability for combat, so it’s not impossible to fight at all.
Katarina and Chan-wook Seo began to enter the inner city at the same time.
There was no special ability to maneuver in the air or to specialize in reconnaissance, so the two had no choice but to find the other in the city, drenched in the rain normally.
And it was Katarina who did something unexpected.
Instead of going all the way to the heart of the city, Katarina stopped in the middle and started climbing up to the roof of the tallest building.
Just like when I fought Jade.
But I chose that option because I was able to maneuver in the air using a thread, but Katarina doesn’t have that kind of thinking, so do I need to go up to the roof?
Is it just for reconnaissance?
It didn’t take long to come up with the answer.
The answer that Katarina suggested was a gun.
Since there are quite a few humans who can avoid guns that normally use live bullets, general guns were not the preferred weapon.
Of course, guns are a dangerous weapon if you can make a surprise attack like it is now, and there was still demand for weapons such as anti-target sniper rifles, but that demand is not as high as in the previous world.
But that’s not what’s important here.
I said ‘normal gun’.
And the pistol she pulled out of her pocket wasn’t a regular gun that used live bullets, but an energy bullet, so-called Helios Gun.
It is a weapon mainly used by the military bases of this world, and it is a weapon with great dignity that allows even non-Awakened people to subdue the Awakened.
It is a weapon like a laser gun, and its destructive power is lower than that of a normal gun that uses live bullets, but its speed is not something that can be seen and avoided, and its accuracy was not comparable to a normal gun.
Looking at Katarina’s gripping technique and form, it wasn’t that she had touched the gun a lot, but the accuracy of the Helios Gun was enough to ignore that.
A ray of light went somewhere from the roof of the building.
