‘E, then C.’
Even in the original story, fighting with opponents with different grades was a common occurrence, so I wasn’t embarrassed.
Those who are stronger than you, those who are like you, those who are weaker than you.
By looking at how to deal with each situation, you can understand the person’s fighting sense and style. Because I already knew that this was one of the main purposes of this time.
‘But it’s grade E.’
The fact that my rank was almost at the bottom was, frankly, a result I expected to some extent.
This is because the measurement of combat ability represents the sum total of an individual’s basic physical physical, career, talents, skills, or skills expressed during the academy life.
However, in my case, the abilities that appeared outwardly were almost like those of ordinary people, and since I was entering high school, there was no way I could have had a career in the past.
In addition, the talents, skills, and arts that I currently possess were all acquired after the ability values were measured.
Therefore, it was not difficult to grasp the fact that they were also results that were not reflected.
Maybe that’s why Choi Hyun-woo made a puzzled look at my rank that appeared on the billboard, then nodded his head as if he understood.
“Ha, Mr. I’m so embarrassed… … .”

On the other hand, Il-Jun Na, who is now competing with me, just seemed like I was being funny.
“E-class? ha, fuck Is that an acceptable score? No, is it possible to come in with a business card like that?”
Na Il-jun started talking as if everyone were to listen.
Ignoring the noisy chatter, I grabbed the pair of daggers, my main weapon, in various ways.
But, with no experience or memory of using a dagger, is there any way I can take a proper posture?
As if I had seen it roughly somewhere, I grabbed both daggers in reverse and shook my hands.
Even if I went to Moro, I decided that I wouldn’t worry too much about just going to Seoul.

On the other hand, while I was slowly preparing, Na Il-jun was still sarcastic with an absurd expression.
“Anyway, you bastard who doesn’t deserve it. Did you tease me like that that day? Do you believe in one of your friends? What is he doing with your bastard? But what about it? You really fucked me up today, you bastard… … .”
“If your weapon is tongue-in-cheek, you should go there. Why did you come here?”
I looked at him as if it was ridiculous and spit it out like that.
Then, it seemed as if there was a popping sound from somewhere.
“Hey, dog… … .”
Na Il-jun muttered a small swear word and pulled out a sword about the length of a medium sword from his arms.
Is that the weapon he chose at the academy?
It’s just like it came out of the set.
‘But in this case, shouldn’t the same dagger be attached to each other?’
As I complained to myself like that, I tensed my body.
The branches of the World Tree, Henir’s Shadow, and Nidhogg’s Fang cannot be used here.
There was only one skill that could be used, ‘Mark of Hunting’, but the problem was the fact that he had never practiced it, let alone using it in practice.
The fortunate thing is that my physical ability is quite high, contrary to what he thought, and I already knew his fighting style.
‘There… … .’
There is also a banshee necklace from Lee Myung-jun.
As a result, it was a good thing to pass this on to him.
[When infused with magic power, weakens a singular opponent that is hostile to the owner.]
In the current situation, it was natural to weaken the opponent.
The image of injecting magical energy was not difficult in itself, as I had learned to some extent while dealing with the shadows of Gazi and Henir of the World Tree.
‘Are you doing this… ?’
As he gently raised his hand holding the dagger, he gripped it as if covering a necklace, and instilled magical power as he instructed.
Then I could see Il-Jun Ni suddenly fix his sword several times, and it was impossible to tell whether it was because it really weakened his ability or not.
‘Let’s see It was clearly stated in the setting that he would fight with a heavy sword and widen the distance, or launch a dagger when there is a gap.’
You’ll have to run into the guy a few times before you can know the details.
As I was thinking like that, Il-jun Na straight away swung his sword at me honestly.
“Ugh!”
The moment he crossed the sword he was wielding with the dagger in both hands and received it, he couldn’t help but tilt his head.
‘what?’
Just in case, this time I blocked his attack with just one hand.
And I was able to come to a conclusion right away.
‘The sword is light.’
Even wielding a sword there was enough to follow without difficulty.
In fact, when I successfully blocked his sword twice in a row, he quickly clacked and took a few steps back.
“Huh, did you still have the basic skills to get into this academy?”
“… … .”
Students’ ranks are divided into a total of seven stages, from the highest rank, S rank, to the lowest rank, E rank.
If you think about it simply, it sounds like the C rank is just average, but there is a setting that the level of Orge Academy itself is about half a level higher than that of other academies.
In other words, if you go to any place, you are measured as a student equivalent to a B grade.
This was the sound of being able to play in the field even though he was in charge of processing at the bottom right now if only his abilities were counted, excluding experience and other things.
‘Is the weakening ability better than I thought, or is it that my ability is high… … .’
I don’t know which one it is, but I’ve learned something from a short encounter.
It was the fact that the current Na Il-jun is an opponent that I can defeat without overdoing it.
I calmly turned the dagger in my hand and ran towards him without warning.
“This bastard is cowardly… !”
I immediately swung my dagger, aiming at the guy’s face.
It was a sloppy act in my opinion, but Na Il-jun seemed to have approached this guy a little differently.
“Hey, crazy!”
The guy was literally stumped and barely holding on.
As I recalled Esmeralda’s image in her vague memories, I began to move along with those memories.
Even though he was just copying the form that remained vaguely in his memory, Il-Jun Na was helpless.
I was well aware that this wasn’t because of my excellent technique, but just because my physical specifications such as strength and agility were superior to Ni Il-jun.
‘Then it would be better to just press and hold.’
As a result of rough competition, this guy Na Il-jun wasn’t particularly good at it.
Then, there would be no need to worry about counters and other things such as counter-using the power of this side to get you out of the way.
Having made that decision, I immediately threw the dagger I was holding in my left hand at his face.
“Ugh!”
He managed to dodge the dagger I threw.
It was a throw with no technique or anything, but it was quite powerful because it was loaded with a lot of power.

Of course, if you can’t get it right, it doesn’t make any sense, but I didn’t expect to get it right in the first place.
“Ugh!”
I already knew from the previous engagement that I was far ahead of him in terms of strength and speed.
Maybe that’s why, it was only after he grabbed his wrist that he realized that he was caught by me.
As if trying to get out of my grip quickly, he started to use his arrogance, but I grabbed him and dragged him strongly before that, breaking the balance of his body.
When I kicked off the leg of Il-jun Ni, who was reflexively trying not to fall, he fell down helplessly.
I quickly got on top of him and slapped my knee in the middle of the back.
“Aww!”
The guy groaned with the sound of air being expelled.
There, without stopping, I pressed down the wrist holding the sword as if trampling on it.
Even I thought it was a sloppy attitude.
However, the difference in power was so great that he was overpowered by me without being able to move.
“stop!”
I got up from my seat at the sound of a loud whistle and the professor in charge of the referee.
It was only then that I realized that the surroundings, which had been noisy for some time, had become quiet.
“… … .”
Na Il-joon didn’t say anything and just kept his head down on the ground.
I was about to say something, but I just glanced at him and moved on.
“Good work.”
“What is the trouble?”
As I got out of the dungeon, Hyun-woo Choi welcomed me.
I could feel the students around me looking at me, but I pretended not to notice and continued the conversation with Choi Hyun-woo.
“But, is it possible to find the right instructor for that person with just one class today?”
I just skipped over it in the game, but thinking about it, it wasn’t a very dubious method.
In the case of me and Il-Jun Na just before, I only wielded a sword blindly and won through a physical fight, and Il-Jun Na was helpless and defeated.
What on earth can you find out by watching a match like that just before?
“Well, I don’t know either.”
Choi Hyun-woo burst out a friendly smile and shrugged his shoulders.
“Still, I wouldn’t say that it is the best academy in the world for nothing. So, I wouldn’t worry too much, would I?”
Choi Hyun-woo, who had said that, made a small ah-ah.
When I turned my head, Choi Hyun-woo’s name appeared on the display this time.
“I will go.”
And one thing is certain, at least Hyunwoo Choi has not changed much either in the world of the game or in the real world here.
[Choi Hyun-woo (RANK S)]
The opponent was a male student who had never heard of his name for the first time and was ranked B.
Maybe it’s called an extra.
I quietly prayed for his well-being.

Today’s class was filled only with morning classes, that is, the dally for selecting an advisor.
That doesn’t mean that you should spend it leisurely.
In our case, brochures were distributed, but in the original case, as explained on the first day, each student had to spend the afternoon busy.
The purpose is to pioneer one’s own future, but perhaps this is almost neglect.
With that in mind, I sip my coffee with plenty of sugar.
“By the way, were you okay with today’s results?”
The three of us sat on the outside terrace used as a cafe and student lounge.
When Hyeon-woo Choi, who had ordered an iced Americano in the largest size and drank like water, opened his mouth, Han Soo-young showed a rare small smile.
“It was a win-win.”
“Yeah, I won all three.”
“That one?”
“Two wins and one draw. Don’t treat me like you, who are nothing but monsters.”
I had to fight two other opponents with the exception of Il-Jun Ni.
The female student with the long sword was able to win the battle without difficulty, but the male student with the spear could not compete with each other.
‘I’m glad I didn’t get bad grades though.’
Fortunately, it seemed that there could be a little bit of expectation in the selection of the advisor.
In fact, it was an issue I had been thinking about vaguely, so I was even more fortunate.
‘To ask Myung-Jun Lee, he doesn’t use a dagger at all, and I think he can learn martial arts from Director Jang… … .’
First of all, I thought it would be good to take a class from an instructor introduced by the academy.
If it’s a girl, you can just ask Myung-Jun Lee to introduce you to the dagger master.
“Then, is today’s class over?”
With that thought in mind, Choi Hyun-woo, who was drinking iced Americano next to him, started talking as usual.
Then Han Soo-young, who was sipping hot tea, answered.
“right. However, as I was told by the professor, there are very few opportunities to visit the club in advance except for this afternoon, so it would be better to go today if possible.”
“I mean, the kendo and hunting club rooms are almost attached, so it will be soon. How are you?”
When asked, while chewing the ice vigorously, Han Soo-young took a tea bag and joked and answered.
“The place of the reading club is the library, so I can go anytime, so I’m only going to go to the magic study section today. I have a bit of work to do today.”
As Choi Hyun-woo looked at this side, I quietly put down the empty glass.
“I also wanted to go to a reading club later. Alchemy and archery should go once today, and if you don’t like it, listen to something else.”
“Oh, then why don’t you come into kendo or hunting? It’s better to go together if possible.”
“I’ll take care of it for now.”
In response to my answer, Choi Hyun-woo looked at the clock on one side of the break room and began to organize his seats.
“Then shall we move slowly? When it’s all over, let’s meet in a separate restaurant or practice together.”
At those words, I unknowingly distorted my expression.
“Aren’t you tired?”
“Not at all.”
It wasn’t empty words, but it looked like he wasn’t really tired at all.
I got up from my seat again, realizing that he really had monstrous stamina.
Alchemy and archery are quite far apart, so it was better to move slowly as Choi Hyun-woo said.
‘Then where should I go first?’
I vaguely thought about it as I rubbed my arm, which was slowly gaining muscle pain.
