Chapter 3 – A Failed Final Exam and an Opportunity

Fortunately, I went into the dormitory right before falling asleep at the lake, went to sleep, and woke up in the morning after a hard time.

When I entered the classroom of Class Q, where the written exam was being held, my classmates said something to me when they saw that I was late for the first time in a long time.

“If your legs are slow, shouldn’t you wake up early? How can you be late on test day? How about you?”

Chris Roanna, a European friend with voluminous golden hair.

Most of the quests require magical knowledge, so he can be said to be the strongest wizard in the first year of the academy.

I took first place in the written test of the last midterm exam, and I came in second place.

“I opened the window because you were late. Dude.”

Vulcan Ludrik, a muscular European guy with short gray hair.

He was a talented person who had known Chris Roanna before he entered the Global Academy.

When I train my body through quests, I am getting stronger quickly. I was a bit skinny until I entered the academy, but after completing the quest, my body turned into a stone.

At least we did some physical training together, and thanks to that, I felt the difference even more.

“Vulcan, you got grades just above Xian, right?”

“Hmm. Well, I didn’t know you could mess up your writing like that.”

Vulcan Ludrick’s face turned a little red at Chris Roanna’s point.

I got close to a perfect score on the practical exam, but the difference in score between me and mine was quite large because I got the written score at half-level.

“I guess I stayed up all night studying. But I have to admit that I did well on the written exam, right?”

Avon Jack, a friend with red hair and flame abilities.

He’s been asked to kill a lot of people through quests, but he still smells like a harsh person.

Or are you saying that and thinking of sending me to hell if I don’t even get a written grade?

“The practical skills are terrible. Isn’t our Q class the weakest member of Global Academy? Jack?”

The friend who bothered to ask Jack was Asui Miyama, a black-haired Japanese man who was learning swordsmanship skills.

As a friend who uses swordsmanship, her physical attack power is so much better than that of Vulcan that she is called a samurai girl.

“By the way, did anyone see Sian sitting on a bench near the lake all day yesterday?”

Tae Won-ho, this is a Korean who was with me when I came to Utopia from Korea.

We crossed paths together, and we became close friends, but at some point, he started to distance himself from me.

Even my girlfriend distanced herself from me, so what’s the difference between a friend and me?

“Really? I guess I’ve given up on writing.”

Gam Shin-heung, Tae Won-ho, who was originally close to me, and a Chinese friend who became close to me when I became distant.

He uses martial arts based on the lightning attribute, and the two are in good harmony, so he has the highest level of combat power in the first grade.

“Or did you get dumped by your girlfriend? If you sit blankly at the lake and shiver with Cheongseung, you can tell they’re breaking up right away, right? Didn’t you see the light blue hair? She’s your girlfriend.”

“That could be possible. It was Kim Seo-yeon, right? I wish she was in class Q.”

Tae Won-ho knew the truth, but he made very accurate guesses, probably pretending not to know, and Gam Shin-heung agreed.

I can’t be angry because everyone only hits me with facts.

No. I am angry, but I have no way to vent my anger.

Are you shaking your fist like you’re crazy? You can’t win.

Even though I am the weakest member of class Q, the Vulcan Rudric above me on the question paper shows that I am a top 1st year student.

Just because we’re at the bottom of our class doesn’t mean we’re at the bottom overall.

So, it’s the Q class that I put together, but it feels a little shaky because of me.

“There’s a written exam coming up, so if you’re not going to read the book, let’s just be quiet.”

Julian Loa, who took control of the class after all the other guys were making fun of me.

He is a guy who fights like a typical medieval knight, using light, a sword, and heavy armor.

And he is the strongest in his class and can be said to be the strongest in first grade.

Yes, the final exam results need to come out…

As I sat down and waited for the exam to start, the professor came in.

And I couldn’t help but sigh when I saw the test paper being handed out.

There was a crunching sound, but I couldn’t solve it.

This is because the test questions asked for a detailed explanation of the abilities you gained through the quest, as well as your subsequent growth and the direction of the quest.

I haven’t even completed the tutorial quest yet.

Write a line about this poor possession ability…

Fuck.

*

There were some easy-written exams, such as how to deal with basic monsters and things to watch out for in the ecosystem, but due to the shock of almost missing one subject, I couldn’t concentrate properly on the next exam.

And then the most hellish practical exam time has come.

The practical test of the last midterm was monster hunting.

I had my first real combat and killing experience at the Global Academy by safely wearing armor and hunting goblins with a weapon I was familiar with, and I managed to eliminate one just under the time limit.

If the assimilation rate is high, and you use possession, you will end up having to commit suicide, which is not worth doing.

However, the guys in class Q, excluding me, started to challenge 10 goblins, changed species, and even orcs, as if it was a really easy test.

It’s not called the strongest class for nothing.

“Fuck.”

Monster hunting and sparring were added to the final exam.

Monster hunting seemed to be the same test as last time.

But why am I the first?

I sighed and entered the exam room.

I have the strong armor and sharp sword I used last time, so it should be okay this time.

“Student Yoo Xian, Class Q 8. The test will begin. If you are ready, please raise your left hand.”

I raised my left hand when I heard the voice.

The ground opened and two goblins came up at the same time.

“Grrr.”

“Kerrrr to even more

For the sake of a proper test, I was a little confused whether they had even given me a drug that promotes violence.

Is this a test to see whether an incompetent person without skills can avoid being killed by two goblins just by training his physical strength?

Two goblins holding wooden clubs opened their mouths when they saw me.

It felt like a bad smell was wafting towards me while I was wearing a helmet.

“Keeeeek!”

“Kueeeaaack!”

A goblin running like crazy while waving its arms.

I swallowed my saliva and held the sword tightly with both hands.

I swung my sword hard to train my physical strength.

So it’s okay if one becomes two!

“Aaaaah!”

I also ran and swung my sword at the goblin.

What’s the point?

Because I don’t have enough strength or short limbs, I was able to hit one guy on the head first.

Usually only Asu Miyama or Yulian Loa can cut a goblin into pieces with a single sword…

“Die! Die! Die!”

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

You have to beat it like this.

When the goblin stumbled after being hit in the head, I screamed and hit the goblin.

One of the remaining guys swung his club at me, but I trusted my armor and endured a little pain and crushed one of them, then kicked the other one down and hit its head in the same way.

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

“Haa… Haa… Haa…”

I barely took a deep breath when the life response completely disappeared from the two goblins.

When I hit the goblin in a trance, I felt fine, but after I came to my senses, my whole body ached.

“Next are three goblins, are you okay? Student Yu Xian?”

“No.”

“Thank you for your hard work. Next is Tae Won-ho.”

In an instant, the goblin’s body and blood stains disappeared.

The blood stains on my body disappeared, but the pain from being hit by the club remained.

Taewon-ho, who was next in line, checked his pistol.

I think I trained my body for no reason, so I could use a gun.

Just like me before, Tae Won-ho raised his left hand and the test began.

From the beginning, five goblins appeared.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Five goblins were killed in three shots.

That’s when Taewon-ho saw his left hand raised for the next step and thought as he went to return the rented equipment.

This time, I am the last one.

“What the fuck is wrong with sparring…”

It was a hit from start to finish.

Fortunately, my classmates showed their last conscience and did not play with me.

These guys only beat people with facts and didn’t waste their energy.

Or is it really not worth the effort to me, so I just save up as much as possible and send it to one shot and prepare for the next sparring?

Thanks to this, I was able to finish the sparring quickly, but my whole body ached because I was hit in various ways.

The final exam ended like that.

My mind became empty due to the completely ruined exam, and as I walked along, I ended up at the lake where Seo-yeon had notified me of my breakup not long ago.

“Why are you here?”

If my eyewitness account comes out again, it will be like hell.

But there was one person who caught my eye.

A slightly older man was squatting down and staring blankly at the lake.

It seemed dangerous to shake a little, so I unconsciously walked to the old man’s side.

“Grandpa, it’s a little dangerous.”

“Danger? The things down here can’t harm us.”

Since you speak correctly, I don’t think you have dementia.

So I squatted next to me and looked at the lake.

“I can’t see anything?”

“Really? If you have this on you, you can see it.”

My grandfather touched the corner of his right eye and then touched the corner of my left eye.

“You didn’t give me anything?”

“Look again.”

When I looked down at the lake, I felt something had changed.

Should we say that a layer of the world is peeling off?

It occurred to me that there was related content among the things I studied recently.

“Class? Grandfather, can you see other classes?”

“You studied well. It’s the ability to temporarily see the hierarchy below you.”

I continued to head downward, like peeling an onion.

And down there, as soon as I discovered 97%, I used my ability without even realizing it.

“Possession.”
