49 – Powerful (6)
“It’s an open fight. You can put it that way. The difference is that although the fight is punishable, it’s legal and you can get a good grade.”
“Mmm… yes…”
What I suggested to Han Min-ha was an anti-personnel combat capability evaluation, which is equivalent to practical skills evaluation during the end-of-semester evaluation.
It is a kind of sparring that uses the skills learned during the semester to incapacitate the opponent by any means.
There are no rules.
Okay as long as you don’t use tools.
If it is judged to be truly dangerous, the professors intervene.
Other than that, all you have to do is fight purely by displaying your fighting power to the limit.
An evaluation that represents Grafford Academy, which evaluates students only on their combat prowess in order to create strong heroes.
I was suggesting that Han Min-ha point out Song Do-yoon against him in that evaluation.
“The interpersonal combat ability evaluation is an opportunity. Every year, not only the academy officials but also headhunters from broadcasting stations and famous hero offices come to the new student evaluation. What will they think if they see a lower class student crushing an upper class elite?”
To be honest, I’m a little more inclined to end-of-semester evaluations than Song Do-yoon.
Song Do-yoon’s revenge is just an excuse or motivation for the final evaluation.
That is why I continued to persuade and recommend Han Min-ha to take revenge.
Everyone would agree that ‘I’m going to trample on the bitch who insulted me’ is a stronger driving force than ‘I work hard to do well in the exam’.
“I see what you mean.”
“So I point out Song Do-yoon. According to the evaluation guidelines, if a student in the bottom 10% competes with a student in a higher class and wins, additional points are added. So, Min-ha has an advantage. This is an opportunity to bring down Song Do-yoon as she goes up to the top class.”
“Yes… I understand everything.”
Han Min-ha nodded slowly, but his face was full of anxiety.
I am well aware of her concerns.
“You are probably worried that you won’t be able to beat Song Do-yoon. But don’t worry. With the characteristics of Song Do-yoon that I anticipate, you will never be able to beat Min-ha.”
No one yet knows what Song Doyoon’s main ability is, but I judged it to be telekinesis or taming.
When I asked the other professors, Song Do-yoon hadn’t yet unlocked any abilities to speak of, but he must be one of them.
I think he used that ability to attract or tame the bird and terrorize Han Min-ha.
Taming is a meaningless ability that can be ignored in evaluation, and the key is telekinesis.
I’m still a student, but since I’m in an upper class, the intensity of my telekinesis is expected to be quite high, so I decided to ignore the telekinesis.
It is to use Han Min-ha’s heavy and hard aura.
“Psychokinesis is the ability to move an object without touching it. Student Minha’s aura is very heavy, so the telekinesis won’t work.”
“Is it because they are both skills that use auras?”
“That’s right. Aura-applied skills can also be responded with aura. The best response is to offset telekinesis with a collection of auras and hit them all at once with a long-distance killing beam.”
“Do I really have to use the killing beam?

Minha Han is right.
It’ll be troublesome if the blow of hope doesn’t go in.
“Then, there are other ways. For example, you can use Aura Conflict or melee combat. You can respond organically depending on the situation at that time.”
Han Min-ha can win.
Considering the compatibility of each other’s abilities, Song Do-yoon is at a very disadvantage, and Han Min-ha’s aura is strong.
If you enter a dogfight with your ability blocked, you have a chance to win.
“Anyway… let’s do our best. It’s not long now.”
“Okay, professor…!”
Han Min-ha answered with determined eyes.
* * * * *
After feeling a sense of accomplishment at the shooting range, Han Min-ha started training with great enthusiasm.
For Han Min-ha, who has never achieved anything so far, the pleasure of achievement will be as strong as a drug.
Yoo Hee-won spoke harshly, but helped Han Min-ha well.
Especially when he mastered close combat techniques, he shined. How was it?
“Ugh…! It hurts…!”
“Wake up! If you can’t avoid this, you’ll never get a good score!”
Yoo Hee-won grabbed the hem of Han Min-ha’s uniform, who had collapsed on the floor, and pulled her up with all her might.
“If I had just put on my aura, all my ribs would have been shattered. Get back on your feet. Don’t look anywhere else, look at my feet!”
“Ugh…! I’m watching…!”
“For a fist or anything to go out, the feet have to move first. So you can predict the opponent’s next move by looking at their feet. Now, look closely!”
Han Min-ha managed to block Yoo Hee-won’s leg, which flew in in the blink of an eye, by holding her arm close to her body.
There was a loud popping sound, but Hanminha managed to survive without collapsing.
“Keugh…”
“Raise your head! If you lower your head, you will die!”
“Okay! Ugh!”
Yoo Hee-won’s fist passed by Han Min-ha’s ear as he straightened his waist.
Yoo Hee-won was a bit surprised by this evasion.
Her eyes seemed to say, ‘Are you doing something?’
“Okay. Now let’s put on an aura and try it.”
A golden aura bloomed on Yoo Hee-won’s body and began to cover her body.
Not to be outdone by him, Han Min-ha also raised a purple aura.
Until recently, he was a Korean citizen who did not even know the letter of Auror.
Already causing an aura according to one’s own will?
It is an incredibly fast learning ability.
As the purple and golden auras collided with each other, powerful sparks began to fly in the air.
The intensity of the aura itself was very unequal, so the momentum was very ferocious.
“Okay. Let’s start.”
“I’m going to do it right now, Heewon. So… Ugh!”
Han Min-ha, hit by Yoo Hee-won’s attack, flew straight to the other side of the trainee.
* * * * *
Han Min-ha’s special training continued.
Yoo Hee-won and I trained Han Min-ha with all our might.
It is a forced march that almost drags you by the collar to make up for what you have fallen behind because you have not awakened your Aura.
If he does not get good grades this time, Minha Han’s future cannot be guaranteed.
To borrow Yoo Hee-won’s expression, ‘destiny to be weeded out after begging in the gutter’.
So I trained Han Min-ha hard, even if it was overdoing it.
However, Han Min-ha did not give up even though it was daunting and difficult.
Her desire for vengeance against Song Do-yoon and the confidence she gained from awakening her aura were the fuel that moved her.
Even in the midst of this, Song Do-yoon continued to bully Han Min-ha without Yoo Hee-won noticing.
I told Han Min-ha never to respond or rebel against it.
“Back off unconditionally. You don’t have to react to it at all.”
“Okay, Professor.”
“The more you pull the bow string back, the stronger the arrow will shoot. After making it as vigilant as possible, shoot an arrow through the heart.”
“Yes…!”
Han Min-ha, whose eyes were bruised from being hit by Yoo Hee-won in a series of sparring, answered clearly.
“Okay. Then let me give you a tip.”
In the air in front of Han Min-ha, he created a small square basic physical defense shield.
“It’s a basic physical barrier. It blocks basic attacks and also acts as a buffer that absorbs some of the impact when it breaks when it’s hit by a strong attack. So, if you stack several of them, it gives the same effect as a bulletproof vest.”
“Yes. But is this a tip?”
“no.”
I slightly twisted the shield facing Han Min-ha at an angle.
“If you adjust the angle of the shield, you can block an attack that is too strong to handle.
Han Min-ha looked closely at my shield and made a similar type of shield.
“Nice job. The basic physical shield can be literally made into a basic shield, and the uses are endless. Always think creatively. A hero with a fixed mindset cannot survive in the ‘field’.”
“Okay, professor. I’ll keep that in mind!”
Han Min-ha bravely replied as they made a second barrier to show each other.
very good. great.

As the end-of-semester evaluations approached, the atmosphere at the academy became quite chaotic.
It is an opportunity for the lower class, but it is a very sensitive period that can be a crisis for the upper class.
The faculty proceeded with the procedure to create a match table for the interpersonal combat capability evaluation.
It is a way to come up with the final C plan by compromising the A plan, which is equally organized by the faculty considering the level of the students, and the B plan, which receives the wish list from the students.
All the faculty members worked overtime for days and nights, sweating hard to create an optimal match.
There should never have been a one-sided unfavorable fight due to the widening gap between them.
In that respect, Han Min-ha’s hope list became a hot topic within the faculty.
It is not uncommon for a lower class student to challenge a higher class student.
And in this case, it is customary to draw a bracket according to the intention of the side challenging.
But it’s not someone else, it’s Hanmin…
“Professor. Minha… is that what you really hoped for?”
Jin Se-young, who saw the table, whispered to me.
“That’s right. He said he really wants to go up to the top class next semester.”
“Really? I’m proud of you, but… I wonder if it’s really okay… Song Do-yoon, he’s a bit scary too.”
After hearing our conversation, Professor Yoo Hyun-joo opened his mouth.
“Song Do-yoon is a girl who acts like secretary Yu Hee-won, right?”
“That’s right. I know you’re good at it, but… isn’t it scary?”
“There’s no such side, but there is. So, to be honest, I’m worried about putting Minha and her together.”
At the two professors’ concerns, I smiled and shook my head.
“No. I think it’s better to do it this way. This is an opportunity for Minha. I can’t deprive you of that opportunity just because I’m worried.”
“That’s right…”
Professor Yoo Hyun-joo nodded as if he understood, and Professor Jin Se-young was still anxious.
But what can I do?
this is my plan
* * * * *
A few days later, when the match schedule was posted in the lobby of the lecture building, the reaction of the students was similar to that of the professors.
[Han Min-ha – Song Do-yoon]
“Han Min-ha…? Who is Han Min-ha?”
“Isn’t that him? The kid from the lower class who fainted during the basic evaluation.”
“Eek?! A guy like that got together with Do-yoon? Didn’t that come out wrong, did that?”
Yoo Hee-won smiled evilly while looking at the match schedule behind the students.
“Hah? Interesting? Hey, Song Do-yoon. What is that?”
“Well.”
Song Do-yoon’s expression hardened coldly as he watched the match.
