“The final exam will be similar to the midterm exam. However, what is different from the midterm exam is that this time, instead of only first-year students taking the test, we will be taking the test together with seniors.”
As teacher Kang Joo-hyuk explained, I made an expression that I knew what was coming.
Hearing what teacher Kang Joo-hyuk said, Jeong Joo-won raised his hand and asked.
“I wonder what it means to take an exam with seniors!”
“Ah, that means that during the midterm exam, you guys sparred with each other to take the test, but this time, your seniors will be your sparring partners.”
“omg.”
“What, so you’re saying I have to fight against Tae Ji-hyuk or Choi Min-ji?”
If you think about it to the extreme, it was like that.
If my opponent was senior Tae Ji-hyuk or senior Choi Min-ji, there was no way I could have gotten good grades.
“Don’t worry too much. “Because grades are calculated taking into account the fact that the opponent is your senior.”
The students looked relieved at teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s words.
“Why is everyone worried?”
I looked at Ban Hye-jin, who was sitting next to me, in response to her question.
Ban Hye-jin had an expression on her face that did not understand what the teacher was saying.
“Is it because it’s basically natural for seniors to be stronger than juniors?”
Ban Hye-jin looked even more confused at my answer.
“huh? Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you’re stronger. Just you right now… … .”
I interrupted Ban Hye-jin before she could say any more. If I say more here, I’m sure I’d rather tell a story than say I’m good at fighting.
“That’s generally true.”
Because there has always been something outside the standard.
“Then will the exam start right away?”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk answered Yoo Ah-ram’s question.
“It’s scheduled to start in the afternoon. There will be a draw for the bracket in the morning. Oh, there will be 50 seniors, a mix of 2nd and 3rd year students.”
Those words reminded me of senior Tae Ji-hyuk.
‘If we get back together now… ‘Can we win?’
***
The draw was conducted in a classic manner.
When we were told to put aside the state-of-the-art system and pick a number from a box, we all went forward one by one and picked a number.
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk said while watching us pick numbers.
“Usually, things like this have a tendency to make you anxious.”
I smiled inwardly at those words, took out the number, and asked Ban Hye-jin.
“Who are you hanging out with?”
“The woman.”
When I heard that it was that woman, I asked with an expression that said, “I can’t believe it.”
“No way, Choi Minji senior?”
“Yeah, that sounds fun.”
Ban Hye-jin said that and smiled strangely.
“you?”
I looked at the number I picked.
Number 7.
I looked at my partner with lucky number 7 and looked disappointed.
This is because he was not senior Tae Ji-hyuk, a third-year student.
“It’s senior Kim Min-seok.”
Well, it wasn’t bad.
‘It’s magic… … .’
It was a good opportunity to test how far I could go against magic.
9.
When it was lunch time, we headed to the restaurant.
After a week of camp, we quickly became close friends and hung out together, and students in other classes looked at us strangely.
And there were other people looking at us with interest.
“Is that him?”
“huh. I think so.”
“I was really beaten by senior Tae Ji-hyuk.”
“But the final blow was cool.”
“Is it blocked by the wooden stick? “I didn’t even land a hit, but it was cool.”
They were second-year seniors who were eating in the cafeteria.
“Roommate, does this sound like you?”
At Jeong Ju-won’s words, I turned my head and glared at Yoo Ah-ram.
Even if I uploaded a video, I never thought I would upload it at this kind of timing.
“Hehe, sorry. But now is when you get the most views.”
Yoo Ah-ram, who previously filmed a sparring match with senior Tae Ji-hyuk, edited the video and uploaded it to each tube, and as soon as the video was uploaded, the number of views began to increase explosively.
“You’re already popular.”
I looked embarrassed at Selina’s words.
“Why don’t you start using angle tubes too? If you launch one channel, won’t you be very successful?”
At those words, Yoo Ah-ram looked at me with a nervous feeling.
“take no interest. “Anyway, the video can be broadcast through Aram’s channel.”
“Oh, Aram, if this is the case, doesn’t that mean we have to pay Lee Si-woo separately?”
“Is that so?”
While chatting about trivial things, we got our food and sat down.
“But you know. “Who is his opponent for this final exam?”
“Yes, it looks like it’s really strong in the video, but no one has actually proven it yet.”
“Honestly, it was great that we fought like that against senior Tae Ji-hyuk, but wouldn’t we be able to do that as well?”
Today, I could hear all the conversations around the 2nd year seniors nearby, whether they were eating slowly or not.
The expressions of my friends around me began to change, as if the story was frowned upon.
“You’ll have to wait and see to find out.”
At that time, someone standing next to the seniors spoke.
“Hey, Minseok.”
“That guy decided to take the final exam with me in the afternoon.”
“really?”
“Okay, then I’ll find out what that guy’s skills are, so you guys don’t worry about it. “Because it’s noisy.”
At those words, I looked at senior Kim Min-seok again.
He looked different from the senior Kim Min-seok I knew.
Senior Kim Min-seok, who said that, came towards us.
“Lee Si-woo.”
“yes?”
While I was eating, I looked at senior Kim Min-seok.
“Final exam, give it your all.”
I thought so even if senior Kim Min-seok didn’t say this.
The better the test score, the better.
“all right.”
“Okay, see you later.”
I tilted my head as I watched Senior Kim Min-seok pat me on the shoulder and leave.
“That senior, was that kind of character originally?”
***
Kim Min-seok calmed his pounding heart and left the restaurant.
The girl with pigtails who was next to Lee Si-woo. Her face still flashed in her mind.
Selina and Hwang Da-bin had pretty enough faces, but the girl with pigtails seemed to have a different charm than them.
In addition, she had an enormous status as the daughter of the Sword God.
‘Wasn’t it just so f*cking cool?’
Now, as long as she defeats Lee Si-woo in the final exam in the afternoon, the Sword God’s daughter will definitely look at her.
Minseok Kim thought so.
“Hehe, after I lost to Choi Min-ji in the semi-final, don’t you know how much I gritted my teeth to never lose again?”
Minseok Kim turned on each tube and opened his own channel.
Kim Min-seok didn’t like Lee Si-woo.
Not only did he beat Yoon Mir, the best student in the first grade, but he also emerged as a popular person on various tubes, and on top of that, he always hangs out with pretty girls. I didn’t like everything.
So, I thought I would use this opportunity to break the freshman’s arrogance.
At the same time, Kim Min-seok wanted to defeat Lee Si-woo and make everything that Lee Si-woo enjoyed into his own.
Kim Min-seok began to imagine himself standing in Lee Si-woo’s place.
10.
Principal’s office.
Won Tae-jin looked embarrassed when he saw the two people sitting on the sofa in the principal’s office.
“I… I’m sorry, but why are you doing this here? … .”
“You are coming to see a friend. Are you here because you have business?”
“I came because I had some business to do with the boy I’m taking as my disciple this time.”
Two of the seven heroes, who are said to be difficult for the average person to meet once in their lifetime, were in one space.
Won Tae-jin grabbed his head at the words of Geomshin, Ban Isu, Healer, and Yoo Da-hee.
“Okay, Lee Soo said he came as a friend, so I’ll make it easy for him to talk. It’s you, you would have come to see your daughter anyway. Hero Dahee Yoo, can you tell who the student you want to take on as your disciple is?”
Yoo Da-hee responded to Won Tae-jin’s words.
“Dabin Hwang in first grade. I came because I wanted to make that child my disciple. And he heard that he captured an awakened member of the Rebellions. “I came to see if I could meet him too.”
Won Tae-jin made an embarrassed expression at those words.
“I will call student Dabin Hwang separately. And regarding the Rebellions matter, I think what you are talking about is correct.”
“Hmm, I understand.”
In response to Won Tae-jin’s words, Ban Yi-soo spoke to Yoo Da-hee.
“To conclude, don’t worry about the Rebellions matter.”
“why?”
“I don’t need your help.”
Yoo Da-hee said after looking at Ban I-su’s expression.
“Are you still showing off? “Seeing as he doesn’t need my help, I guess the guy who caught him has already been defeated.”
“… … .”
The moment Ban Yi-su was about to refute, Won Tae-jin struck first.
“Yes, thanks to you, I realized that there are many ways to commit suicide.”
“Hmm, then what do you plan to do now?”
Due to the Rebellions’ tendencies, retaliation will be carried out.
Anyone who knows about Rebellions would definitely know about this, and I was curious about what preparations Dahee Yoo had made at Awakening High School.
Won Tae-jin responded to Yoo Da-hee’s words.
“A teacher’s job is to create an environment where students can study safely.”
“yes?”
“So, I’m thinking of sending an official letter to the seven guilds. “Please protect Awakening High School.”
Yoo Da-hee looked surprised at those words.
“Do you think other heroes will listen to that request?”
“At least, you two will listen.”
At those words, Yoo Da-hee frowned and looked at Ban Yi-su.
“What are you going to do?”
“My daughter entered this school today. Those who threaten the school will be considered to be opposing the Sword God Guild.”
Yoo Da-hee sighed at those words and said.
“I speak to you as the guild leader of the Revival Guild. “I will help you protect Awakening High School.”
Taejin Won smiled at those words.
Protecting students from retaliation. That was my duty as a teacher.
“thank you. “Then shall we bring in students Dabin Hwang and Hyejin Ban?”
“no.”
“no.”
Seeing the two answering at the same time, Won Tae-jin tilted his head.
“You said the final exam is today?”
At those words, Won Tae-jin realized why the two people visited the school together on the same day today.
“Yeah, whatever. I don’t think it would be okay for you to take a look, but do you mind?”
“what?”
“Originally, someone other than the two of you was scheduled to visit today.”
“Anyone else?”
Ban Yi-su and Yoo Da-hee thought. This is because the term ‘other person’ meant that one had at least the same status as them.
“what? Who else is coming?”
“Who are you?”
Quang!
At that time, someone kicked down the principal’s office door and came in.
“Taejin! How are you?”
Ban Yi-su and Yoo Da-hee looked at the man and looked like they had chewed shit.
“Why are you out there?”
“under… … .”
“huh? what? Were you there too? A long time?”
A man wearing sweats and slippers on his bare feet, the guild leader of the strongest guild, saw the two and waved.
