Chapter 14 – 14.Lucedia Academy Entrance Exam (3)
I walked towards where the test takers were and approached Pamela.
“Oh, that, that. Chu, congratulations!”
Before I could speak, Pamela opened her mouth.
Pamela Thane must have mustered up the courage to speak first.
She responded with a smile, slightly raising the corners of her mouth at that courage.
“Thank you. Congratulations to you too. “My guess was not wrong.”
“Ah, yes, yes… Just like Lee Si-han said, I passed. With this, I have the courage to meet Master.”
“Thank goodness.”
“Yes. Thank you. I was able to cheer up thanks to Lee Si-han’s words.”
“No, there is no need to be thankful.”
‘Rather, I should be the one giving thanks.’
Thanks to Pamela’s consecutive use of the Sword of Loss, we learned that her skills her can be used without cooldown in this world.
“Yes?”
So, say something more that would make Pamela happy.
I’m telling you something that will help you think more positively about yourself.
“Even without my words, you would have been able to pass with your skills. So be proud of your skills that you honored under your teacher.”
“Ah. Ugh. Yes, yes… Thank you… “
Blushing slightly, Pamela lowers her head.
She must be embarrassed because she’s never heard anything like this before.
“Anyway, with this, you and I will be attending the same academy.”
He extended his hand towards Pamela and shook her hand.
“Please take care of me, Pamela.”
“… Huh!? My name… !”
“What’s wrong? Did I get the name wrong?”
“Oh, no! No! That’s right! It’s Pamela!”
“Yes. You already said it, but this is Sihan Lee. I’ll say it again. Please take care of me.”
“Ah, ah.”
Pamela was taken aback, then she hurriedly rubbed her hand on her clothes and then took my hand her her her.
“Now, please take care of me.”
Pamela bowed deeply as she shook her hand, but she did not make a point.
Rather, this kind of behavior was more like the Pamela I knew, so it was nice to see it.
‘This increases the likelihood that Pamela will accept my party offer.’
Like in the game, the probability of recruiting Pamela to the party without using a bond stone has increased.

“This concludes the entrance exam!”
As the last remaining participants finished, Delt declared the exam to be over in front of the remaining successful applicants.
“First of all, I will give you an academy badge as proof of passing. Everyone come forward and receive it!”
A man who appeared to be an academy employee brought a box, opened the lid, and there were countless badges inside.
Lucedia Academy’s badge with an eagle flying across the sky.
One by one, people came forward and picked up the badges in the box.
I also went out with Pamela and received a badge.
After the badges were distributed, Delt said.
“That badge is the surest sign that you belong to Lucedia Academy! Make sure you never lose it!”
‘You can never lose it.’
There is a reason why Delt is issuing such a strong warning.
The badge is not only a badge of the academy, but also plays the most important role in setting up future activities.
‘Because this is also a warp seat pass.’
Warp stone.
It is one of the relics called the miracle of the goddess at Lucedia Academy.
A warp stone is a device that allows you instantly to move to a location with the same warp stone.
Warp stones are installed in the transfer room of Lucedia Academy and in major cities in each country.
Of course, in Valendia.
Therefore, in the game story, if the main character clears the story of a country using warp stones, he or she will be able to use the warp stones to go to the next country in the next update.
Of course, because all continents are connected, you can move around even without warp stones… When reaching the border of an area that has not been liberated, a warning window and a message window stating that this area has not yet been opened block the player.
Therefore, when a new story is released, posts like this are always posted in the community.
[Hey, have you seen this update story? It was so fucking good.]
-But what do we do now?
ㄴNew material farming ㄱㄱ
ㄴI finished
ㄴBox Gangster
ㄴIt’s done
What is this useless bastard?
ㄴI organized the location and posted a strategy post
ㄴThank you
According to the setting, academy students and high-ranking figures from each country can use this warp seat.
In other words, other ordinary merchants or ordinary people cannot use warp stones.
Thanks to this, daily quests even included quests to deliver local specialties from other countries at the request of merchants.
I’m not sure why they set these things up as settings in the game, but if you think about it in reality, it’s a little understandable.
‘If anyone passes by, there might be some suspicious person.’
In addition, it may be because there are only a few warp stones in the world, along with the perception that the miraculous artifacts of the goddess cannot be used by anyone.
‘If there were a lot of warp stones in the first place, all the people who make a living through logistics would have died.’
Anyway, this badge is absolutely necessary to use warp seats.
Delt further explained to us, prospective academy students.
“The entrance ceremony takes place in 10 days! Until then, go to any of the clothing stores in the academy and show your badge. The clothing store will immediately match you with clothes. Make sure you wear the designated academy uniform to the entrance ceremony. Otherwise, you will be You will not be able to participate! That’s it! Disband!”
After finishing the guidance, Delt left, and those who passed also took their own steps.
“Pamela.”
I looked around and called out to Pamela, who was standing still.
“Yes, yes!”
“What are you going to do now?”
“Huh? Well… I’m going to send you a letter.”
“Letter?”
“Yes. Master, I told you that I was accepted into the academy.”
“I see.”
“…”
Pamela was silent for a moment and wiggled her fingers.
After waiting for a while, Pamela asked me.
“What are you going to do, Lee Sihan?”
“I’m going to find an inn.”
“Inn… ?”
“As soon as I arrived, I went to take the entrance exam. I haven’t even found an inn to stay at yet. So I need to find a place to sleep.”
“Well, that’s right! Now that I think about it, I also… Had to find a place to sleep.”
“I see.”
It’s a good opportunity.
“Then it would be a good idea to at least find an inn to stay at.”
“Ah, an inn where we can stay together!?”
You can roughly guess what will surprise you.
I didn’t intend this, but I guess it just happened to sound that way.
But I don’t point it out.
“Okay.”
“B-but, oh, we met for the first time today, and wow, we’re staying together… Like… !”
I should point this out.
“What are you talking about? I’m just saying that we should find an inn together.”
“… Ah.”
Pamela opened her mouth wide and lowered her head with an expression of despair at the world.
“That’s right. It never should have happened in the first place. Also, I made a strange mistake and ended up making the other person have an unpleasant experience. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m sorry for being a witch who is below the level of a song chung with her own illusions. “
One of Pamela’s charms.
A rapid-fire self-abuse talk appeared when low self-esteem worsened.
In times like this, even if you say there’s no need to apologize, they’ll just say no, it’s my fault.
“I’m sorry.”
I offer an apology from my side.
“Huh?!”
Immediately Pamela raised her head in response to my words her her her her.
“Uh, why is Mr. Lee Si-han apologizing? I was the one who made the mistake, a fool who made a mistake… “
“No, when I think about it, what I said could have been easily misunderstood. No matter how much we became friends, I should have said more delicate things to the woman.”
“Chi, chi, chi, chi, chi, friend!?!?!?”
Pamela opened her mouth the widest she had seen today and moved her fingers rapidly in astonishment.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“B-but you said I was your friend.”
“Yes, but.”
“Uh, why… !”
“That’s because I thought we had become friends. Now, we’ll be going to the same academy… And more than anything, didn’t we just congratulate each other on passing the exam? We even shook hands to wish each other the best. So aren’t we friends now?”
I deliver the final blow to Pamela, who is blankly listening to my explanation.
“I consider you a friend. What do you think?”
“Uh, uh, uhh… Even if that, that, that, me are friends…”
Instead of pointing out why she was putting herself down like this, she simply gave Pamela the answer she wanted.
“It’s okay. Maybe you don’t want to be friends with me?”
“Oh, no! No! Chi, I want to be friends!”
“Then it’s no problem. You and I are friends.”
“Ah, ah. Friend, chi, friend… My first friend… Friend… Uhe, he, he, hehe…”
One of Pamela’s charms, a sinister laugh, comes out.
I also laughed like this when I became friends with a player in a game.
When I think back to the first time I saw that scene, I have new emotions.
“Pamela.”
“Yes, yes Mr. Sihan Lee!”
“Now that we are friends, call me Sihan. This is my last name.”
“Just the name… ! Ugh, ugh! Yes! Mr. Sihan!”
I guess the hurdles are still high to call it by its original name.
Since we succeeded in becoming more intimate with Pamela, let’s get straight to the point.
“Let’s go find an inn.”
“… Yes, yes!”
She took Pamela, who nodded her head twice in agreement, and walked out of her entrance examination room and into the street.
“Hey, over there! Mr. Sihan!”
Pamela, who often followed me, spoke to me.
“What is it?”
“Hey, how about eating snacks together later? Hey, we’re friends. I heard that friends eat snacks together. When I have friends, my dream is to have snacks with them like me… Oh, I’m sorry! I was being too bold, right? Even if we’re friends, there’s a line that shouldn’t be crossed! I’m sorry for being rude! Please don’t break off relations!”
‘Ah~ This is Pamela.’
When she thinks she has a friend, she gets excited and suggests what she wants to do, but as she talks, she changes to thinking that she is being too mean, and negative thoughts are flooding in.
She has the nickname D-Bak Queen, but thanks to this negative mind-set, she looks like Pamela, who is called a (self-esteem) destroyer.
“Pamela.”
“Yes, yes!”
“For snacks, let’s stay at an inn… And then stop by a clothing store and eat leisurely.”
“Ah, ahhh… ! Yes!”
Pamela smiled with relief, as if she had come back from the dead.
