Episode 33 Midterm exam public tournament.(1)
* * *
April 30th.
It’s the day of the midterm public tournament.
In other words, it is today.
The test was originally supposed to be held on April 23, but due to the one-week suspension due to the villain attack, the test period was delayed.
Anyway, in the auditorium where I am now, there are well over tens of thousands of people gathered together.
Nevertheless, the auditorium was quite spacious and empty.
Surely there were at most thousands of people gathered in the auditorium that was filled with people at the entrance ceremony?
It is a general auditorium for cadets.
The place where I am now is more famous for the name of Trinity Stadium rather than the name of a simple auditorium, which is almost the size of a large soccer stadium.
In fact, the name of the auditorium is more awkward at this size.
The tens of thousands of people gathered here are mostly made up of cadets and faculty members of Trinity Academy, but they are not the only ones.
There are a lot of famous heroes belonging to the World Federation of Heroes, and there are several staff members and reporters to run the broadcast.
“Hello, viewers. Now this is Trinity Academy, and we’ll greet you on the spot where the midterm public tournament is being held. I’m Jacob McDowell, moderator of this Trinity Academy Midterm Open Tournament.”
On the large screen located on the ceiling of the auditorium, the face of a man named Jacob McDowell, who hosted the midterm public tournament, appeared.
Well, who was Jacob McDowell?
It was mentioned briefly in the production, so I don’t remember it very well.
After graduating from Trinity Academy, were you active in the hero team Vivid Gale, but were you a hero working as a freelancer at this point?
fuzzy
“Wow, I called Jacob. I have a lot of money.”
“Chairman Chloe is the one who has more than $1 billion in personal assets, even though most of his initial earnings are turned into donations. Calling Jacob would be nothing.”
“Isn’t Jacob great too? If I had worked as an A-level hero, I would have lived my whole life if I could barely eat and eat the hero’s pension, but I gave up on that and succeeded as a freelancer.”
“I don’t think I would ever do that.”
“me too.”
All I remember is Jacob’s brief past mentioned in the movie, but I didn’t know what kind of person he was now.
However, looking at the reactions of those around him, he seemed to be a very famous person than I thought.
I was utterly ignorant unless it was the person who penetrated the heart of the Dacapo Dream, so I didn’t know much about that Jacob McDowell, who introduced himself as a freelancer.
If I had had a little interest in broadcasters, I wouldn’t know. Unfortunately, I had no interest in Internet broadcasting or terrestrial broadcasting, so it was natural that I did not know about broadcasters in this world.
Still, considering that he graduated from Trinity Academy and acted as an A-level hero, it seems that roughly anyone who has a good view of society was not used.
“In a few minutes, the midterm public tournament awaits you! Cadets, are you ready to start the midterm public tournament!”
“”no!””
“Of course it is! But still, the midterm public tournament will go the same way!”
““Wow!”
Trinity Academy’s midterm exams are called midterm exams, but to outsiders, this was nothing more than an entertainment and event, so there were a lot of ordinary people who just wanted to see the vivid battle of the Awakened.
So, it has turned into a kind of large-scale event that the host sees the progress.
“Then, before the cadets play, let me introduce the broadcasters who will be in charge of the broadcast of this midterm public tournament! But it wouldn’t be fun if it was just revealed, right? Let’s take the time to guess who the relay staff for this midterm exam are! We will give a small prize to the person who guesses it!”
Originally, I didn’t pay much attention because I already knew who was going to be the broadcaster.
But as long as there is a prize at stake, I have no choice but to use my future knowledge, right?
“If you want to know who it is, launch the Trinity Academy app and click the… oh! There are cadets who already want to know who they are! Please come up to the media seat!”
Do I have to go and tell him in person?
cumbersome
I walked to the media seat with a neat gait.
It’s because I hate being in vain, but it’s because I hate going out in the yard where my image is being broadcast all over the world.
“Who do you expect the cadets to be?”
Jacob handed me the microphone.
I cleared my voice a little and spoke in a stern voice.
“I expect that the caster will be Kang Yoo-seong, and the commentary will be Erzebet Diana and Han Baek.”
The face of the bewildered moderator is a spectacle.
Seriously, I’d be embarrassed if I had been there.
Because I got it right without missing a single one.
However, like a professional, he quickly released his stiff expression and started to conduct society again.
“Hey, has the person list been leaked from within? You got it right without missing a single one! The prize is an opportunity to exchange contact information by naming one of the heroes invited here!”
I glanced over the figures sitting at the top of the table.
In the beginning, this world was based on a novel rather than a cartoon, so it was difficult to tell who exactly who was by appearance alone, but there was a certain amount of depiction of appearance, so based on the content, I could barely tell who was who.
Of course, there were a lot of people who had no idea who they were.
“No need.”
Well, the chance to get the contact details of a famous hero is a rare opportunity.
But the reason I missed that opportunity is because of everything.
Why do you need contact information for famous heroes?
Of course, this is because the hero belongs to the team he belongs to.
However, I have no intention of belonging to any particular team.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Most of the members I want to be with in the first place are in S class.If I could get the contact information of one of the heroes in this world, I could draw a list of roughly three or four, but unfortunately, the person on that list didn’t seem to come here.
“No, really? Reina Rilkena, Mitsuru Kisaragi, no, even Han Baek, the commentator, can be nominated?”
“it’s okay.”
“Huh… Okay. You’re special. May I know what the cadet’s name is?”
“This is Park Seong-jin.”
“ah! It was the cadet who was rumored to have read the recent trinity academy’s villain attack into a futuristic poem! Did you find out the list of our broadcasters as well?”
When I heard the word future poetry, the eyes of the heroes who looked at me with serious eyes changed.
It was like the eyes of children who had the things they wanted.
After all, the ability to see the future is a very rare ability, so I would like to have it.
Of course, I only know the big events that will happen in this world, and the events that happen to the characters of Trinity Academy, but I don’t know the little things that will happen to the other heroes individually, so even if I were to recruit myself, it wouldn’t make any sense.
I just smiled faintly at the camera.
“After all, shouldn’t our ideological powers be easily revealed to others?”
“Absolutely.”
“Haha, you are a resolute cadet. If you ever change your mind about the prize, you can upload it again. You may go down now.”
People’s eyes sting as they come down.
No, it felt like my skin was peeling off because it was so hot.
Of course, I was indifferent to the opportunity to contact a famous hero through the hotline, whom no one would ever talk to in my life.
Still, I hope you don’t look at me with such scary eyes… .
“Before the Trinity Academy midterm public tournament begins, all cadets, please enter your assigned training room.”
Let’s see, who is my first opponent?
With a tense gait, I entered the training room with serial number 138 on it.
… 👌👌👌👌👌
Actually, it’s Katarina.
[User recognized. You are synchronizing your thinking. please wait for a moment.]
[Synchronization of users, Katarina Bellayeva, and Park Seong-jin has been completed.]
[Test settings are complete.]
When it was confirmed that most of the cadets had entered their training room, the figure of the host Jacob disappeared from the screen, and the figure of the commentary desk began to be captured.
“hello. This is Yooseong Kang, who will be the caster for this Trinity Academy midterm exam public tournament.”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Erzebet, who is in charge of the commentary.”
“It is an honor to have had this opportunity. One hundred.”
Well, they’re all pretty and handsome guys.
Of course, it could not be helped for the ratings of the broadcast.
“Nice to meet you. One hundred commentary. I think it’s the first time we’ve seen each other, right?”
“Iknow, right. I also wanted to meet Erzebet’s commentary once, and I have to thank Trinity Academy for preparing this event.”
“It’s the first time we met, so do you two look close?”
“Ah, when an opportunity like this comes, we should become friends.”
“Haha, that’s right. ah! Now everyone says they are ready.”
Now, the real test will begin.
Then, will you draw a lottery match for the broadcast?
“ruler! So, shall we try to draw a broadcast match? Of course, we would like to broadcast as many matches as possible, but at this big event with tens of thousands of cadets conducting exams, it is a pity that the matches that can be broadcast are limited! In addition, it is a pity that only matches of cadets with at least S class or higher are broadcast. There must be some cadets of lower classes who show their fighting spirit. I ask for your understanding.”
I hope my game doesn’t become a broadcast game.
Because I don’t want to broadcast live to the whole world.
“It will be Chloe, the chairman of the lottery for the first broadcast match! Chairman Chloe! Please press the button!”
Chloe smiled and pressed the button.
He seemed quite familiar with this kind of thing, as he couldn’t tell whether it was a commercial smile or a smile because he was genuinely happy.
Still, considering Chloe’s personality, there’s a good chance she’s smiling because she’s really happy.
she’s a hedonist
“Then who will be the hero of the glorious first match!”
Dozens of balls inside the device bounce around.
And then, the movement began to slowly stop.
“This is training room 138! Let’s see who it is!”
“I look forward to it. Personally, I would like a training room with cadets Chun Hyun-woo and Alfred.”
“ah! It is said to be a training room with cadets Seongjin Park and cadets Katarina!”
“It’s a good example of how strong the ability of future vision is in battle.”
“However, seeing the future is an ideological power that greatly affects causality, so it consumes the ideological power too much. I heard that Katarina cadet is a very strong cadet, and I heard that Park Seong-jin is not a cadet that stands out physically. If the Katarina cadets apply pressure slowly while inducing the exhaustion of their imaginative powers, there is a clear win for the Katarina cadets.”

Murphy’s Law.It’s a rule of thumb that ‘what goes wrong will always go wrong’.
And, the law proved to be still true.
Whoo, I want to hit myself hard for saying I don’t need another hero’s contact information.
To say such a thing and then to lose pathetic image of myself being sent all over the world.
After the start of the first semester of the sophomore year, the national rule of the academy, dropping out is still a long way off.
“As always, I will do my best. Park Seong-jin.”
“I know if you don’t tell me.”
Katarina, as always, looks at me with straight eyes.
Those eyes that will always walk only the path they think, regardless of whether they win or lose.
I envy you that your belief in yourself can be so strong.
[Countdown, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, training has started.]
“Then let’s meet the real game from now on!”
