Gaunis (1)
I forgot about it because of Libya, but today was the day I was looking forward to.
“From now on, the admissions evaluation will be conducted. The first and second rounds are individual evaluations conducted by department, and the third round is a comprehensive evaluation conducted in an integrated manner. Please follow me.”
Professor Roman Reiger said with his eyes shining sharply.
Those disgruntled glances were clearly pointing at me.
It’s not just out of jealousy of my father or dissatisfaction with his son… .
“Come on. senior.”
It was because Libya, who had been sitting close to me throughout the class, clung to me and told me to get up.
It’s a sight that would make you think that a freshman in the first year is dating from the beginning of the semester, so it can’t be nice to see as a professor.
Unlike the professor, the eyes of the other students were jealous, close to envy, but we were attracting attention anyway.
Livia didn’t care about that kind of attention, she was all about rubbing me on the cheek.
‘Well, it’s not really a nuisance.’
There is nothing wrong with getting attention.
In the first place, the achievements I had to achieve included ‘reputation’.
It didn’t matter if it was good or bad.
‘I didn’t want to be famous for my eccentricity, but I mean.’
If possible, rather than being famous for notoriety or eccentricity, he wanted to be known for being a bit prominent.
Well, that’s a small part. Because achieving achievements is important.
If there was only one inconvenience, it was that my arms were uncomfortable if I kept clinging to them like this.
As I stroked Libya’s hair, Libya’s eyes lit up with happiness, whether or not she knew what I was thinking.
It was so cute to see him smile with his lips slightly open.
‘I wish it would continue like this.’
I don’t think Libya will ever attack anyone out of a little jealousy.
If there was one thing I was certain of, it was that the ‘system’ could be trusted.
don’t lie like that
The setting of Libya was also clearly ‘changed’.
However, it is unavoidable that I am still a little anxious.
“Then, we will proceed with the first test here.”
In the meantime, the classroom we arrived at was so large that it would be enough to call it an auditorium.
Since there are so many classrooms like this, the academy is being criticized for being an extravagance.
However, nothing was provided in the classroom. It just looked like an empty space.
At least outwardly.
“There is nothing here. senior.”
Libya opened her eyes and said.
“It’s nothing.”
Libya tilted her head at my words.
I already knew what the evaluation would be for this place.
“finally… ”
“Although it is the first, it is actually the most important. I’m nervous. My heart trembles.”
It wasn’t really a hidden background, so students who knew the information like me were quite nervous.
“What are you trying to do here?”
“…isn’t there anything here? What, could there be something?”
And the children I didn’t know were confused looking at the empty classroom and wandering around.
But it is a huge misunderstanding.
This room is not empty, it is already full.
Roman stood in front of those children.
The children looked at Roman with nervous eyes.
“Okay, let’s start the evaluation one by one.”
With that, Roman used his thumb and forefinger to make a snapping sound.
Immediately, magical energy spread throughout the room.
All the curtains in the room slammed shut.
Inside the room, which had turned black for a moment, I heard the children’s confused sounds.
Libya grabbed my arm, so I whispered that it was okay.
After a while, a faint light began to appear in the darkened room, enough to distinguish each other’s outlines.
“what’s this?!”
“Constellation… ?”
It was a magical light.
Magical patterns covering the entire room, from floor to wall to ceiling.
All over the pattern, brightly shining dots shimmered mysteriously.
The size was different, and the brightness and color of the color were also different from each other.
“senior… . I hope this… ?”
Libya opened her eyes and said.
Of course, at this point, Libya is bound to guess.
“right. This is Stellarium.”
Stellarium.
A star map showing the location of constellations.
It was a map with the locations of the constellations that had revealed themselves to mankind and illuminated them so far.
And when that light shines, people know the birth of the one chosen by that constellation.
But that’s the only map.
“Now I know what you are going to do.”
She is also the princess of the Assassination Guild. It seemed like he didn’t know what to do in the future when he saw Stellarium, whether he was sure of his information power.
“But what are you trying to do with Stellarium?”
“Isn’t it just a star map looking for candidates for the hero?”
Confused children only knew Stellarium as a simple observation map.
That’s true. Stellarium, which is installed elsewhere, actually has only that function.
However, the Stellarium installed in the academy had a more special function.
“One by one, we will start communicating with the Constellation from now on.”
Roman looked around at the children and opened his mouth.
“consensus?”
“I can finally reach my constellation!”
Depending on the presence or absence of information, children were divided into puzzled and excited children.
This was the reason why the academy, which could have been set up in the capital, was set up in such a rural area.
According to the novel’s setting, this was one of the few places where the power of the constellations gathered, so the academy’s Stellarium was able to have the power to communicate with the constellations.
Due to some doubts, I tried to communicate with the Constellation before coming to the academy, but failed several times and gave up.
It was only confirmed that contact with the Constellation was impossible outside of a few places, including the academy.
The entrance examination is a necessary test designed to evaluate students’ grades.
Depending on how much ability they have built up and what level of achievement they are currently in, the grades are adjusted and the curriculum of education is different.
It is impossible at the academy for everyone to receive the same education.
If there is a difference of one or two steps, a virtuous cycle may occur as they lead and pull each other.
However, even if students with markedly different grades take classes together, wouldn’t it be difficult to achieve progress only by holding each other’s ankles?
The ranks between the candidates for warriors were so wide that they couldn’t help each other.
In general, the first factor that divided the class was decided through the constellation.
It was believed that the upper limit of a hero’s ability to reach was different depending on whether he was chosen by a higher-ranking Constellation or a lower-ranking Constellation.
Of course, this world is not a game, so it’s hard to objectively measure your abilities.
It’s just that the Constellations up there judge how promising this child is and how much he will grow.
That’s it.
Of course, I make an exception for those who can see the status.
“…I might be able to turn it over at once this time.”
“Maybe I have a high degree of agreement?”
In the meantime, there were also children with twinkling eyes.
The children with the lowest rank of the Constellation had particularly high expectations.
Constellations were classified as high or low, but no human could receive all the power of the Constellation anyway.
Therefore, an important point was how well a part of that power could be inherited in the present world.
At the academy, the number that measures that is called ‘conciliation rate’.
Even a low-level Constellation can receive and use a portion of the Constellation’s power if the synchronization rate is high.
It is possible that a child chosen by a lower-level Constellation with a higher alignment rate will be stronger than a child selected by a higher-level Constellation with a lower alignment rate.
Then it was actually a hit. It’s like getting your hands on a chance to rise to the top ranks in the academy all at once.
‘Although there are exceptions.’
Occasionally, there were people who, like Yuria, were chosen by lower constellations and showed outstanding abilities even though their synchronization rate was low.
In that case, it’s more like pure talent. It’s not for nothing that Yuria is said to be a genius.
‘The problem is that that’s the limit.’
Considering the development of the novel, Yuria must have already reached the end of her power.
So, the last time she was attacked by Libya, Yuria couldn’t use the power of the Constellation at all.
Oh, when I thought that she was a poor person, I felt sorry for YuRia.
In an unfortunate family environment, even a wall that cannot be crossed.
‘Although he was a villain, he was pitiful.’
I thought of YuRia for a moment, then erased it from my mind.
Leonhard Deinhart, who was the main character in the story of 『The Hero of Salvation』, was chosen by the highest-ranking Constellation.
Constellation ‘Gaunis’ That is the name of my constellation.
‘I remember he had a very cheeky personality.’
I remembered the constellation in the novel.
When I thought of that Constellation that likes to snack on, I frowned at the bone that started to hurt little by little.
Still, my heart raced in my heart.
It’s like witnessing and even experiencing the important scene in the beginning of the novel where you acquire a kind of special ability through communion with the constellation written on Stellirium.
Also, there were things I wanted to do when I met the Constellation. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.
“Okay then, each person whose name is being called, step forward one by one.”
When Roman called a student by name, the boy hesitantly stepped forward.
Roman ordered the boy to close his eyes and started chanting a complicated spell.
“The one who forms the cluster of stars, the name of the great star is called here.”
With those words, the map filling the room began to move like a wave.
After a while, the light of the constellation that had chosen him stopped above the boy’s head.
