Episode 25. Midterm Exam (1)
One.
Midterm exam.
The midterm exam, known as the exam taken in the middle of the semester, is literally a test that feels like a mid-term review.
Tests are used to check whether students remember what they have learned well.
“… “But why don’t we study theory?”
Of course, there is also a written test.
At lunch time, while we were all sitting together in the restaurant, Hwang Da-bin muttered.
Jeong Ju-won, who heard the muttering, answered.
“Because you don’t have to.”
“huh?”
“If the midterm exam was to be taken with real knowledge, why would we be attending a high school that only awakened people attend?”
Hwang Da-bin tilted his head at Jeong Joo-won’s words.
It’s because I didn’t understand why I wasn’t studying for the exam.
I summarized Jeong Ju-won’s explanation in one word.
“It means you can use your talents during the written exam.”
Selina, who understood what I meant, muttered.
“Then obviously… … .”
“There will be people who cheat.”
“omg. “Where can I find something like that?”
Dabin Hwang said with a puzzled expression.
“Because this is Awakening High School.”
After saying those words, I thought about this school.
This school, which was established to lead the awakened people correctly, even taught the attitude of living in the world as an awakened person.
To achieve your goal, do not choose any means or methods.
Because this is what Awakening High School’s exam method means.
In some ways, it was a realistic and yet rich-get-richer approach.
Those who have talent can rise high, and those without talent must try to rise by any means possible.
“Okay. “Well, I’m not saying that studying is useless.”
That wasn’t it.
“Shouldn’t one or two people study?”
“huh?”
“In order to cheat, you have to have a test paper to copy.”
At Jeong Joo-won’s explanation, Hwang Da-bin glared at all of us.
“What, are you trying to copy my test paper?!”
That was something I didn’t know.
Because there was a student in our class who was more perfect in theory than Dabin Hwang.
I looked at Selina who was expressionlessly playing with the spoon next to me.
This is a fact that no one knows, but Selina was secretly a studious person.
I didn’t know the details of what was going on, but I remember Selina being the type of person who worked hard at everything, and as a result, she was quite good at studying during her school days.
To the point where he competes with Hwang Da-bin and Yoon Mir.
So, for the written test, you just have to copy Selina’s test paper.
2,
Of course, a better way than copying test papers is to study on your own.
After lunch time, we had some self-study time for the first time in a while.
It seemed like the teachers were busy because of the incident that occurred yesterday.
“Can we find the culprit?”
Selina, who was sitting next to me and flipping through her notes, asked me.
“Maybe it’s difficult?”
You wouldn’t think there was an enemy inside.
I looked at Ji Tae-hoon, who was receiving quick tutoring on ‘Seven Heroes’ from Hwang Da-bin.
It occurred to me while talking with Jeong Joo-won that perhaps Rebellions’ goal was to make Ji Tae-hoon famous.
I didn’t think much of it at the time, but both the first and second episodes became famous because they were linked to an incident that occurred at Ji Tae-hun’s awakening high school.
So why did Rebellions make Ji Tae-hoon famous?
‘There must have been someone’s contract.’
A global criminal organization, Rebellions was an organization that opposed the seven guilds and was also a famous contract organization.
So who was the person who hired Rebellions?
‘We can’t jump to conclusions about that yet.’
Later, when I have time, I thought I would compile a list of people who benefit from Ji Tae-hoon’s fame.
“Siwoo?”
Selina must have looked serious when she called me.
“huh?”
“But you don’t have to take Dabin’s tutoring?”
Looking around, I saw that most of the students were listening intently to Dabin Hwang’s explanation.
“Uh, not really.”
“Hmm, do you think you’re confident?”
I couldn’t help but smile at Selina’s words as she looked at me with sallow eyes.
Because I couldn’t tell you that I was going to copy your test paper.
Honestly, I was confident that I could write well.
I’ve already taken the test twice, and if I can’t decide, I can just use my magic eye.
What was important to me was practical skills.
“Honestly, I’m more worried about practical skills than written skills.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Yes, there are probably quite a few kids besides me who are worried about their practical skills, right?”
Unlike the previous test, which was a team competition, the practical test had to be taken alone.
Even though I was learning box fighting from teacher Kang Joo-hyuk, it was impossible to get a good score on the practical exam with that.
Because the practical test is.
“That’s right, I’m going crazy because I’m worried.”
Jeong Ju-won must have heard what I said and came up to me and said.
“why?”
When Selina asked with a curious expression, Jeong Joo-won answered.
“The practical exam is a sparring format and you also have to be evaluated by your classmates.”
So, in order to get good grades, not only was winning in sparring a win, but you also had to make other students look good.

Principal’s office.
Won Tae-jin, who once again gathered all the faculty and staff of Awakening High School, opened his mouth in front of the teachers with an embarrassed expression.
“Hmm, I’m really sorry for calling you all so often when everyone is busy. There are two main reasons for bringing everyone together today. Teacher Jiwoo Han.”
At Won Tae-jin’s call, Han Ji-woo came forward to everyone.
“Yesterday, there was a commotion near the auditorium where a Behemoth appeared.”
“yes? “Is it Behemoth?”
“Are you saying a monster appeared?”
The faculty and staff began to murmur at the word Behemoth.
“Now, please be quiet. “Let me explain.”
“The Behemoth that first appeared seemed to be a little different from the Behemoth we know. “It was not a monster, but a pet summoned by a student.”
“There is a student who can summon a Behemoth?!”
Teacher Han Ji-woo smiled and answered while watching the teachers react to each word.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Who is it? “That student?”
“wait a minute. That’s not important now. “What about the injured student?”
Teacher Han Ji-woo made a gesture of gratitude to Teacher Lee Ro-kun’s words and said.
“The student who summoned Behemoth is Ji Tae-hoon, who has the ‘summoning’ talent. Fortunately, another student nearby reverse-summoned the Behemoth, so there was no damage.”
“Behemoth?!”
Summoning a Behemoth was an incredible feat, but the faculty and staff tilted their heads when they heard that there was a student who reverse-summoned such a Behemoth.
“Now, it’s welcome that students have outstanding talent, but after researching, it seems like this is something that happened artificially.”
In response to teacher Won Tae-jin’s words, teacher Kang Joo-hyuk stepped forward and spoke.
“After listening to the student’s testimony, it is said that someone helped him summon Behemoth.”
“Help?”
“Yes, they say they had someone’s help in summoning Behemoth.”
The faculty members looked serious at those words.
“It would be difficult for a student still in school to summon a Behemoth-level beast.”
“Then someone is targeting the school…” … .”
When thinking about an organization that would do something like this, all the teachers were thinking of one organization.
Principal Won Tae-jin said after seeing that.
“So, in order to investigate more carefully, I contacted one of the Seven Heroes.”
“yes?”
In response to the principal’s words, other teachers said, ‘No way… … .’ He made an expression like this.
“Who did you contact?”
The principal took a break and answered the question from teacher Hyunsuk Lee.
“This is hero Dahee Yoo of the Resuscitation Guild.”
4.
After the self-study period ended, teacher Joo-Hyuk Kang came back into the classroom.
It was to conduct a funeral.
After finishing the funeral, I looked at teacher Kang Joo-hyuk, thinking that I should go to the training room and train for the practical exam.
Because I was curious about what the teachers talked about.
“Has everyone been studying well?”
“yes~”
“I listened to Dabin’s lecture!”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk raised his thumb in response to the students’ playful comments.
“After all, you deserve to be called a hero fanatic.”
Hwang Da-bin’s face turned red at those words.
This may be because I had no idea that the nickname ‘Hero Fanatic’ would have reached my ears.
“Ah, this must be good news for Dabin. Hero Dahee Yoo decided to visit us during the midterm exam period.”
“yes?!”
“Wow, Yoo Da-hee is a hero!”
“Can I feel the healing of the healer?”
The students began to get noisy at Kang Joo-hyuk’s words.
Following the lecture fee, I chuckled while hearing people say that Yoo Da-hee was going to be watching the other seven heroes as well.
Before we graduated, we were all planning to meet at least once.
“Come on, stop talking. Don’t say midterm exams start next week. “I hope you study hard this weekend.”
“iced coffee… … .”
“You never know, if you do well on the test and get noticed by Hero Dahee Yoo, you might get a chance to get healed by Hero Dahee Yoo?”
Da-bin Hwang’s eyes were seen sparkling as he heard teacher Joo-hyuk Kang’s words.
Definitely a fanatic.
“Okay then, disperse!”
“thank you!”
As I watched students rushing out of the classroom, I approached teacher Joo-Hyuk Kang and asked.
“Teacher, how was it yesterday?”
“Ah, it’s Siwoo. This is a secret, but I’ll tell you because you are the party. The reason why Hero Dahee Yoo is visiting is because of that investigation. “I think a detailed investigation will probably be conducted when Hero Dahee Yoo comes.”
From those words, I felt like I knew roughly how the situation was going.
Certainly, I remember that Yoo Da-hee met Yoon Mir, who defeated Behemoth in the last episode.
I don’t know what we talked about, though.
“Oh, I understand.”
“Okay, don’t worry too much and just study hard. Oh, if you have any questions about Baktu, please come to my personal training room.”
“thank you.”
I said hello to teacher Joo-Hyuk Kang and looked back.
Before I knew it, all the students had left.
This is because all the children who couldn’t go out of school last weekend because of a test decided to go out of school this weekend.
“Am I the only one left at school?”
Thinking that I should at least say hello to my mother and father in this world, I opened the door to go out of the classroom.
“hi?”
widely.
When I saw the face of the woman standing outside the door, I reflexively closed the classroom door.
‘what? ‘Why is that woman here?’
Thinking that I had seen something wrong, I opened the door again, and saw senior Minji Choi smiling brightly and wearing a wooden sword on her back.
widely.
The door closed again.
Memories of the second session began to creep in.
At that time, senior Minji Choi’s voice was heard from outside.
“If we close the door one more time, I know it won’t be fun.”
