Chapter 2334 – 2334. Savior of the Academy

Maruhan Academy midterm exam notes.

I glanced at the test paper on the desk.

First problem.

〈1. Select the reason why King Hydra’s scales are expensive.〉

(1) King Hydra is an S-class monster and is a by-product, so its scales are highly valuable.

(2) King Hydra’s scales are made of hard metal.

(3) It is easy to apply magic to the scales of the King Hydra.

(4) The scales of the King Hydra are covered in venom.

(5) King Hydra’s scales do not rot.

‘Fuck. ‘I’m not even a businessman, so should I know this?’

But I knew the answer.

King Hydra was a monster that appeared well in the latter half of the original work. The scale, a miscellaneous item obtained by killing the King Hydra, was a great way to make money.

‘The correct answer is number 2. King Hydra’s scales are hard and have metallic properties, making them an excellent metal in themselves.’

As for other problems, nothing came to mind. It was natural because I didn’t pay attention at all during theory class.

‘Follow the original plan.’

[I open my heavenly eyes.]

Check other students’ answer sheets. The ones I mainly watch are Ryu Hana, Kin Cheon-woo, and Choi Da-yeon. 2nd, 3rd, 4th places.

Ryu Hana is in a different class, but she has activated her Heavenly Eye, so it doesn’t matter. Because you can change the viewpoint or do perspective.

Kim Cheon-woo, who can be said to be the real protagonist of the original game, and Choi Da-yeon, the daughter of a large company and a man with high self-esteem.

‘Because they study well. Let’s suck some honey together.’

Like kids who are good at studying, they write down their answers without hesitation. There was a problem along the way that Namgung Hwayeon taught me… I couldn’t remember the answer.

‘… There are problems with different answers.’

In times like this, it was difficult. But we are prepared.

After all, the midterm exam questions are from the textbook. The test scope is also set.

I moved the viewpoint to the dormitory. I had Eunji Shim paste the contents of the textbook on the wall of the dormitory. All I have to do is find the right answer. Even if it takes some time, there is no problem.

[Use moment. Stacks remaining: 11]

‘The answer is… I found it.’

Write down the correct answer.

1st place in the written exam is mine.

• • •

The important thing at the academy is the practical test. The type and content of the practical test changes every time… The pattern was eventually decided.

The academy’s practical combat instructor began a briefing in front of the first-year students.

“The practical exam for the second semester midterm is Hero vs. Villain. You take on the role of a hero or villain within a special barrier controlled by the Academy and perform your respective missions for three hours. The test will be observed by our faculty and staff, and they will comprehensively judge your judgment ability, mission performance ability, and combat ability and set standards. Please note that the situation inside the barrier is recorded.”

I saw Shim Eun-ji dressed as an academy employee in the corner. There were deep dark circles under her eyes. She was being pampered in real time.

The instructor continued the briefing.

“The Aurora simulator is applied to this test. It doesn’t matter if you fight with all your might. Do not inform others of your role and duties until the exam begins. “This is advice for you.”

“Instructor! How do you divide the roles of hero and villain?!”

One of the students asked.

“The roles of hero and villain are decided by drawing lots. For fairness, it will be conducted in analog form by drawing lots. Please come forward starting from the top of the grade ranking. After the drawing of lots, gossip is prohibited. “Everyone is silent.”

I was first in my grade. I went in front of the instructor. The method is to put your hand inside a box and draw lots.

‘Please, villain.’

I opened the paper when no one was watching.

〈You are a villain.

Steal gold bars stored in a bank and successfully escape.〉

The mission is bank robbery. It was a trivial matter.

The students, who were controlled by the faculty, quietly observed each other. There were also students who smiled meaningfully. These are the people I talked to in advance before the exam.

Others may consider it wise, but… It’s a stupid choice. Faculty members are not stupid. You will receive a significant deduction in points for cheating.

“Starting from 1st place in the grade ranking, students enter a special barrier. Follow the staff’s instructions.”

Entered inside the special barrier. It was a small city. The employee left me at the park and said.

“Once preparations are complete, the announcement will begin. Please wait here until then.”

“Yes.”

The employee disappeared. I sat on the bench and got bruises.

-Start the test.

People suddenly appeared in a quiet park announcing the start of the exam.

It is a fake created by Aurora Simulator. Because Aurora Simulator allows you to add virtuality to reality.

‘The test is 3 hours. You can take your time.’

Bang!

Before five minutes had passed, an explosion rang out nearby.

“Ahhhhh!”

People screamed and disappeared somewhere. Of course, I’m not going home. It disappears in a flash out of sight. The citizens who still remain are virtual humans who have been given special roles.

‘I noticed the location of the bank when I came here. Where are you planning… Do I need to knit it?’

Now, I was confident that I could fight head-on with all the first years and win. After thinking for a while, I came to a conclusion. Let’s just move openly.

A bank can be seen in the distance.

I took out my RPG-7 and fired at the bank. The rocket flew straight through the air, hit the bank entrance, and exploded.

Ignoring the people who were falling down or panicked, I went inside and took a gold bar.

‘This is the end of the mission. All that’s left is to pass the time.’

As I was trying to run away, a female student with a familiar face appeared and blocked my path.

“That’s it.”

A woman with light purple hair who uses dual swords. It was Ryu Hana, second in grade.

“Ryu Hana. Move. You can’t stop me now. If you fight me here, your grades will only be ruined. “I have to maintain the top 10, right?”

“Heroes don’t run away from villains. And the person I am now is different from the person I used to be.”

[Use moment. Stacks remaining: 11]

Thunder God.

I close the distance with Ryu Hana in an instant. Ryu Hana, startled when I suddenly appeared in front of her, tried to swing her dual swords, but she was too slow. She grabbed her by the collar and slammed her down on the floor with a thunderbolt.

Pajijik.

Sparks flew from her fainted body.

An employee appeared and took the unconscious Ryu Hana outside. Unfortunately, Ryu Hana’s midterm exam seemed to be a failure.

‘I didn’t perform well, so I guess I fell out of the top 200 this time?’

Anyway, I guess Ryu Hana learned her lesson with this. Just because you’re a hero, you shouldn’t blindly stand in front of a villain.

Headed to the park. She sits on a bench and spends time idly. By my standards, this test was extremely boring. I didn’t even have the motivation to do anything.

“It was here.”

When she turned her head toward the voice, there was Kim Cheon-woo. He had a neat appearance and took a fighting stance, holding his great sword in one hand.

“Ryu Hana attacked me and got crushed… Are you stupid enough to do that too?”

“I know I can’t win. But I can’t help it because my role is that of a hero. “You can’t run away from a villain right in front of you.”

“You and Ryu Hana seem to be under the illusion that you can do anything because you’re a hero… “I’ll teach you reality this time.”

“I’m not the person I used to be. I’ll show. “I have grown up.”

I grew up. It’s been a while since I checked Kim Cheon-woo’s status window.

『Name: Kim Cheon-woo

Strength: C- Stamina: D- Dexterity: E+ Durability: D Mana: A

Trait: Crusade (S+).

Skills: Great Swordsmanship (B-), Holy Spirit (A).

Reliability: 52』

‘I really did grow.’

Abilities other than mana have increased. Additionally, the rank of the temple has increased, and a skill called the Holy Spirit has been obtained.

‘I never thought I would receive the Holy Spirit.’

This is amazing. One of the hardest skills to obtain in the original is the Holy Spirit. At the same time, the skill that was difficult to use was the Holy Spirit.

“Declaration of Holy War.”

Kim Cheon-woo was shocked. Golden light flows from his body. He has definitely grown, seeing as he uses his crusade in a calm state rather than using anger or hatred. His holy power soon gathered into Kim Cheon-woo’s great sword.

『Demon Hunter (SS) reacts to Crusade (S+)』

『The power of the devil is weakened.』

The power of Kim Cheon-woo, the ultimate devil, influenced the devil’s power. Fortunately, he was not affected by anything else.

Kim Cheon-woo then used the Holy Spirit. Light flows from his body. For a moment, his eyes shake slightly.

‘You are probably hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit right now.’

You are the chosen one, and divinity will dwell in you. A voice like this.

Soon, a glowing ring-shaped halo appeared above Kim Cheon-woo’s head.

It means that you have successfully received the Holy Spirit’s buff.

Holy Spirit is one of the highest level buff skills in the original work. A buff that becomes more powerful as Sun Karma accumulates. Allies can also receive the Holy Spirit’s buff. The downside is that enemies can receive buffs. However, demons and mines do not receive the buff.

‘Well, just because you got some Holy Spirit buffs doesn’t mean an earthworm becomes a dragon.’

I summoned the sword provided by the Academy and held it in my hand.

It was then. Light came from my body and I heard a voice.

『You are the one living the second life. Only you have experienced it, and only you remember it.』

The light of the Holy Spirit gathered above my head and became a halo.

Kim Cheon-woo was embarrassed. He raised his eyes and opened his mouth. He seemed not to know what to do.

『You born of a pure virgin, the whole world blesses you.』

The halo above your head glows. At this point, my Halo was already shining brighter than Cheonwoo Kim’s Halo.

『You son of the Lord, the road to salvation is long and difficult, but the Lord will protect you.』

The spirit’s words were not finished. However, I couldn’t speak as if something was blocking me. This is because Kim Cheon-woo’s Holy Spirit rank is only A.

But this is enough for now.

I felt the divinity overflowing from my body and pointed at Kim Cheon-woo.

“Let there be light!”

Light shot out from his fingertips and struck Kim Cheon-woo. Kim Cheon-woo lost consciousness, fainted, and his Holy Spirit was released. The halo and nova above me and him disappeared.
