Chapter 25 – Midterm Exam

Episode 25 – Midterm Exam

“Then the exam begins!”

The professor’s signal spread throughout the classroom, and students grabbed their test papers and pens and began solving problems.

I was halfway out of their intense heat and looked down at the test paper.

‘I know this, I don’t know that.’

Since I was educated as a successor from a young age, there were some questions that I knew about even without studying.

I solved them and passed the test paper by boldly skipping questions I didn’t know.

As I go to the back where the difficulty level of the problem increases, the number of times my pen moves decreases.

When I finally read the last question, it was only 20 minutes after the test started.

‘End. ‘I need to sleep now.’

As soon as I finished marking and put my head down on the desk, a stinging gaze hit the back of my head, but I didn’t pay any attention and just went off to dreamland.

These days, I’ve been fatigued without realizing it due to the intense training I’ve been doing, so it’s wise to take this opportunity to at least fill up my sleep time.

As I passed all the exams like that, the date quickly passed until Friday.

Grand cherry─ Grand cherry─

“And! It’s over!”

“Don’t forget to meet me in the downtown area tomorrow?”

“Jerry, let’s guess the answer.”

As soon as the bell signaled the end of the midterm exam rang, students cheered and showed various reactions.

I rolled my eyes as if I had woken up because of the noise, and then left the classroom with my bare hands.

‘I should go do some training.’

There is no time to waste on useless things.

These days, however, my skill level in boxing techniques has increased and I am slowly gaining control of my posture, so I need to make an effort when I go with the flow.

Thanks to this, I am having fun in my own way even though it seems like I will die from hard work.

‘Anyway, is Sarah coming this week?’

Since I taught him the basics of boxing techniques two weeks ago, I haven’t seen him outside of the classroom because he’s busy with midterm exams.

Now I want to learn new skills, but it’s just a shame for me.

Afterwards, it was time to return to the dormitory after completing training.

“Hey, buddy! Are you here?”

“Okay.”

“Haha! “Did you do well on the test?”

“…”

“You ruined it? So do i! I wonder if it’s needlessly difficult. If you think about it, isn’t the Empire too self-centered? Why are you asking me to study the Centipede country when you haven’t studied anything about our tribe? Huh? Right?”

Yasu seemed to want to complain and said something strange.

If you’re worried, don’t come to the Imperial Academy. The words filled my throat, but I held back because I knew it wasn’t because I didn’t know.

After chatting for a while, he suddenly made a suggestion.

“Now that I think about it, we’ve all decided to get together and have a party this weekend. How about it? Abel decided to come too.”

“Party?”

“Okay. The exam is over, but shouldn’t we have a post-party? So, are you going to participate?”

“No.”

“You are very firm. “You’ve thought about it, right?”

“Think whatever you want.”

I passed Yas and headed to bed.

‘It’s a party…’

To be honest, it’s not that I don’t want to participate. It’s not a bad thing to spend the day laughing and hanging out with characters you only see in games.

But I can’t do that.

It’s not just that you shouldn’t be found out that you’re a possessor.

Having already committed rape once and having to continue to bear that crime in the future, it is scary to form a bond with someone.

If my sins are discovered and shunned by someone dear to me, I have no confidence in standing up again.

So, we are trying to prevent the possibility of such an event happening.

They say that if you don’t have expectations, you won’t be betrayed?

That is correct.

I never want to be betrayed, so I don’t have any expectations from anyone.

Of course, contrary to these intentions, it doesn’t seem to be being followed in reality.

‘It can’t be helped.’

Only monsters can do that.

I wasn’t a monster yet.

I went to school early in the morning and came face to face with the results sheet posted on the central bulletin board.

[Midterm exam results]

1st place – Scadia Maryland

“Wow, you’re amazing!”

“You’re in first place again? It really seems like there is no one who can keep up with me in theory!”

My talented fiancee once again took the top spot in the first year and was looked upon with admiration by many of her classmates.

What followed, of course, was a story about shortcomings.

“But why did I get engaged to someone like that… ” .”

“That’s right. If she wanted, she could have sat in the crown princess’ chair.”

“But surprisingly, Prince Ruan’s grades weren’t low, right? “I thought I didn’t study at all because I slept every day, but I guess that’s not the case.”

“Really? Still, did you receive training as a successor?”

I picked my ears and brushed off the comparisons that followed me like a tail and turned my attention to the bulletin board next to me.

[2nd year midterm exam results]

1st place – Isis Friuli

2nd place – Regina Solias

These are familiar names.

As expected, people around me are spreading high praise for the two and, of course, criticism for me.

If I had to pick one among them.

“Shouldn’t Isis be the head of the Friuli family?”

“I think so. You can’t just consider it based on gender. “If Prince Ruan takes charge of the family, great trouble will come.”

“If only Isis were willing, it would be possible… At times like this, I feel stubborn again.”

It’s a useless worry. Even if it were me, I would hand over the position of head of the family to Isis. Even if I get the chance to become the head of the family, I plan to kick it.

‘Why are you doing such a bothersome thing?’

There is a high possibility that I will return to Earth before then, and even if return is impossible, I don’t want to go through the trouble of being buried in documents.

Feeling annoyed, I ignored the murmurs around me and left the bulletin board and moved to the classroom.

As you open the door and enter, you can see students talking in a more relaxed atmosphere after the exam.

It’s been a month since I entered school.

Maybe it’s because they got used to me during that time, but now when they enter the classroom, they don’t react to the level of shock or surprise.

After sitting down, I immediately lie down on my desk and organize my schedule for the week.

‘There is no particular episode…’

There is a resting story in the game, so there is nothing to worry about right now.

For reference, I heard on Sunday that Abel awakened his sword energy during the exam period. Did you come to an epiphany while summarizing the experiences you gained while fighting Uni?

It’s a good thing.

The problem is that I ended up on the Geombang tree.

It is impossible to carry the Geombang Tree alone.

In the future, almost all new skills will be created focusing on tanking, and attacks will have to rely entirely on party members.

Therefore, with the exception of a few users, users did not prefer the Geombang tree.

Well, this is something to worry about later, and I’m glad I put out the urgent fire right now.

I hope it passes peacefully like this.

*

Wow!

A fist with a sharp trajectory penetrates the defense and hits the side.

“Ugh!”

I groaned and stepped back.

“Why is your body so hard? More correct! “More!”

And Alyssa seemed to be angry at the fact that she looked finer than expected, so she went wild and continued to swing her fists.

But even with her attacks, I was not easily discouraged. Alyssa is not weakened. I just got stronger.

Especially in terms of durability.

*

Ruan Friuli

Level – 45 (+11)

Strength: 45 (+11)

Health: 41 (+12)

Durability: 50 (+14)

Senses: 34 (+8)

Magic attribute: 35 (+8)

*

Now we have finally reached the starting line.

Now that a month has passed since admission, the other students have probably grown as well, but anyway, they are close to level 50, the lowest average at the beginning of the game.

Of course, there is a difference in potential, so if you look at the stats, I will be far superior.

‘Sooner or later, my durability will surpass Alyssa.’

Although Alyssa is the type of person whose stats are lacking in senses to begin with, her level is almost doubled, which is a huge amount of growth.

Above all, it wasn’t that I was lagging badly in other stats.

“Die!” Die!”

Meanwhile, Alyssa’s fist is fiercely cutting through the air, aiming for my entire body.

I took a long, deep breath.

‘Now!’

And then I tried her technique that I had been trying against her all along.

Paaang!

“Huh!?”

Alyssa’s fist hit the back of my hand midway and its trajectory was sharply broken.

Naturally, the body tilts in that direction.

It is an obvious gap.

“Huh!”

I didn’t miss the opportunity and immediately swung my fist. There is no need for gender in fighting. I can realize gender equality as much as I want.

I was convinced at this moment.

‘You can’t avoid this!’

Your body has completely rotated, and you must stop to regain your balance. And by then, my fist would have already hit Alyssa’s face.

I thought so, but it was nothing more than arrogance and underestimation of Alyssa.

I wasn’t the only one who grew.

“Insolent!”

Alyssa, who was out of balance, did not reduce her strength and just took advantage of it, spun around to avoid my fist, and then stuck her toe into the solar plexus.

Shock as if being pierced by an awl!

“Wow!”

I didn’t bounce as badly as before, but I fell to my knees clutching my stomach.

A shadow falls over my head.

“How dare you hit my fist? “Try to hit this too!”

“Now, sleep—”

Burbububbbuk!

Countless powers cover my vision.

Alyssa was furious at the mere fact that I had knocked away her fist, and was eager to improve her fist fighting skills.

After that, I couldn’t even fall down and had to endure Alyssa’s onslaught in the air.

*

“Are you awake?”

I opened my eyes to see amazing big breasts as always and raised my upper body to the sound of a kind voice.

“I’m always indebted to you.”

“If you know, be careful. “Who do you spar with every day to get hurt like this?”

“A woman who hates me so much.”

“Hmm… I’m curious. “What did you do?”

“I can’t say that.”

I especially don’t want to tell the saint about the rape.

How big of a role do big breasts play in the fact that I don’t break down even though I’m beaten like dust every week, so why would I be so quick to take the risk?

To change the topic, I decided to ask something I had been thinking about for a few days.

“Saint. “Can I ask you one question?”

“What is it? “Nothing dirty is allowed.”

“It’s not like that. Anyway, have there been any bald patients who have had burns treated in the recovery room in the past month?”

“Bald?”

“Yes. Bald.”

On the day Uni woke up, while I was deducing the identity of the bald man who had lost his traces, I suddenly remembered an incident.

This is the fight between the flame wizard and the swordsman that took place in the underground waterway on the first weekend.

At the time, all traces had already been damaged and I had met the saint, so I couldn’t examine them closely, but there is a high probability that the two were possessors.

If we associate that with the bald swordsman, we come to the conclusion that his head was burned by the flame wizard.

Of course, this is too much of a leap.

There are many bald people in the world, and we often hear sad stories about men who parted ways with their hair at a young age.

But for me, there is a need to dig into the case in this way.

‘Because there is no guarantee that I will be bald forever.’

If the scalp has not been burned or if hair regeneration is possible through treatment, this clue will soon become useless.

So you need to quickly find a bald swordsman before it loses its value.

The first is to meet the saint and ask her if she has ever cured her baldness.

If you were to get treatment outside, the cost would be ridiculously high, so you would most likely get treatment here.

‘It doesn’t matter if it’s not.’

It is better if you have not yet received treatment.

If so, the hair would not grow and the hair would remain in place for a long time.

In her tension, the saint’s mouth opens.

“No? “I’ve never had anything like that before, right?”

“Really? This is a bold prosecutor. “She must have been wearing a wig.”

“I’m sure. To be honest, there are a few bald people, but they are not all prosecutors. “I don’t even wear a wig.”

“… Is that so?”

“Yes. But what are you looking for?”

The saintess’ eyes were clear as she asked that question.

Those golden eyes filled with pure curiosity without any other tricks create a pressure that makes it difficult for the opponent to tell a lie.

It was one of the most powerful weapons the saint possessed.

“It’s no big deal.”

“Really? “You’re not planning something strange, are you?”

“What if something strange happened?”

“Well, that’s… “How can I say it with my own mouth?”

The saint’s cheeks were turned red.

At that reaction, I forgot that I shouldn’t reveal information about the possessed person, and my expression became distorted.

“What strange misunderstanding are you having?”

“But last time I told you to touch my breasts, but you didn’t touch them… I have a special taste…”

It was cute to see the difference, but there is no way to ignore such a ridiculous misunderstanding.

“It’s nothing like that. I like women. You know the saint in the first place, right? “How I love breasts!”

“Is it so? Then show me the evidence.”

“Evidence?”

As she tilted her head, the saintess, looking around, quietly exposed her large breasts.

Even if you don’t say anything, the meaning is clear.

“…”

“Come on. Prove it!”

“You said earlier that you can’t do anything dirty?”

“Well, that’s because Young master suggested it earlier. This is what I do now. “The two are different!”

“Well, such unreasonableness…” ” .”

“Hey! Don’t talk nonsense, prove it quickly!”

I really don’t understand.

Why is the saint so anxious because she can’t put her big breasts in my hands?

Do you really like me?

But we haven’t known each other for very long?

I’ve never even experienced anything special that would make me like him.

After thinking about it, I sighed.

“That’s Okay. Think however you want.

“Oh! Are you really not touching me? “I’m going to misunderstand!”

“Is that so? “I’m leaving.”

I left her sainthood and left her recovery room.

In fact, the saint only said so, and the misunderstanding would have been resolved to some extent.

… Maybe.
