Chapter 345 – 2nd Semester Midterm Exam (1)

It was a short period of time, less than two months, that I possessed and worked under Lee Sian.

And I unfolded the Rules of Survival (EX) to see how the decades I’ve seen intermittently have changed Lee Sian.

【Skill: Survival Rules (EX)】

【Acquire the abilities necessary for survival.】

【One. Calmness – The perceived time in a crisis situation increases significantly.】

【2. Penetration – You can read the opponent’s movements by consuming mental power.】

【3. Combat Sleep – The quality of sleep is greatly improved and the recovery amount of stamina and mana is improved.】

【4. Presence detection – By concentrating, you can detect changes in your surroundings or a specific area.】

【5. Homeostasis – No negative changes in the body due to disease and poison.】

As survival rules became EX, basic abilities improved significantly.

The descriptions for Calm and Perception have changed slightly, and Combat Sleep has now been changed to improve mana recovery.

There were quite a few situations where I woke up with only full stamina and an odd amount of mana, but that will likely happen less often.

As for presence detection, I learned how to use it in the past to detect areas, so there wasn’t much difference and my homeostasis improved tremendously.

‘Resistance to disease and poison.’

If no negative changes occur in the body, is it okay to say it is completely resistant? Then, I ate a very strong poison, and it seemed like I could only get good ingredients from that poison.

Who would have thought that I would possess abilities that are even greater than the ability to kill all poisons.

Although all skills have been strengthened, the structure of the survival rules has not changed, so there is no difficulty in understanding them.

I moved on to the next item.

【Surviving is not everything.】

【EX1. Savior – Has an indomitable will when there is someone to protect.】

【EX2. Guardian – When there is a place to protect, it has an iron body.】

【EX3. Choyulja – Free from the interference of fate and decide your own path.】

Until now, the EX skills have contained the enlightenment I gained and the path to destiny as mentioned in the skill called Underworld Possession.

The savior is to protect Naeun, and the guardian is also to protect Naeun.

The newly acquired Choyulja was a little different from the two skills awakened to defeat the enemy in front.

There may be me, but there are also others, such as the Lord of the World and Plague. The path that Isian chose to escape from such a powerful power was to remain by the side of his people.

‘Lee Sian refused to ascend.’

After 60 days, when the zombies that had left a huge scar on the world disappeared and the second evolution zombies also disappeared, Lee Sian naturally became the strongest being in the class, but it was not enough compared to when I possessed him and gave him power, so he would not have been able to satisfy the power needed for ascension.〈 Br〉

However, after that, by passing on and improving martial arts, he learned new martial arts and reached the power to transcend, but Lee Sian chose to remain by his family’s side.

From the beginning, Lee Sian has lived for one purpose: ‘Survive with Naeun.’

“The slot is definitely empty.”

I decided to take a quick look at the empty first possession slot and look at the next strengthened self-establishment.

【Skill: Establishment of Self (S)】

【Accurately understand the flow of time.】

【The maximum assimilation rate of the possessed body increases. (Up to 25%)】

【The assimilation rate of the possessed body can be adjusted. (Up to 75%)】

【Increases resistance to mental attacks. (95% reduction)】

I don’t think there’s any particular use for adjusting the assimilation rate, but it was nice that the mental attack resistance multiplier was increased.

However, I think it was the effect of recognizing the passage of time that allowed me to shake off the emptiness I felt upon seeing complete liberation a little while ago.

I was immersed in watching the passage of time for nearly 5 years, and the long period of time through complete liberation, but I clearly recognized through skill that it was not Yu Xian’s time passing.

Even if you spend countless hours in different possessed bodies, you will be able to escape from immersion if you realize that time does not always pass in Yusian and feel the difference between the possessed body and the main body.

Tomorrow is the midterm exam, so I thought it would be a good idea to get a good night’s sleep and prepare for the exam, but random thoughts came to mind.

‘What would have happened if we had focused on killing people and growing the group?’

After 60 days, almost no one was alive and modern firearms couldn’t do much damage to me, so if I had a bad mind, wouldn’t it have been perfect to conquer the Earth?

Even without my being possessed, there would have been a direction to increase the scale by building up power in Korea and conquering East Asia.

There was such a fateful path, but the result of my choice was for Lee Sian to hide his power for the world.

‘But this might be quite useful.’

Although it has now been confirmed for sure, it may have been activated unknowingly.

At first, I used mana to attract the attention of the world and the Lord of Plague.

The guy who was able to drop zombies wherever he wanted could be interested in me and commit malicious acts, but he didn’t show that way after that day.

If the goal was to kill many people from the beginning, it would be right to abandon myself and kill tens or hundreds of millions of people, but I didn’t pay any attention.

Considering that it can prevent upper-class beings from interfering with me, Choyulja seems to be a pretty good skill.

“I feel like I can still use it.”

But can I still receive the quest? Since I can see the status window, I think I can receive the quest.

‘What on earth is this?’

For the first time in a long time, I had a question about the status window that I spent a long time with.

Midterm exam, I don’t know what to do.

As a member of class Q, I left class on Monday morning, sparred, and returned home, ending the week of regular classes.

I continued sparring classes, but after luckily beating Chris Roanna last time, I kept losing to the three of them.

This time, I increased my mana considerably and brought along new technologies, so I left the dorm with the confidence that if the midterm was a sparring match, I would be able to win depending on the opponent.

When I saw students carrying books and preparing for midterm exams, I thought it was really different.

I entered the classroom, opened the window, and sat down.

The desks, which only had four, filled up quickly.

Chris Roan I was talking to Asui Miyama and Rudrik the Vulcan had her arms crossed, and her eyes closed.

I sensed the professor approaching the front door as I sensed a wide presence.

Vulcan Ludric also felt it and opened his eyes.

“Four people. They all came this week too.”

Professor Jeon Yeon-nam looked at us and said.

Those with quest skills can miss out if they are on a quest even during the exam period, but since we are not doing a quest that requires a specific time, the four of us have attended without fail so far.

“Okay, today is the midterm exam. We haven’t told you what kind of test you will be taking, but you must be confident, right?”

“Yes. We will prove that we have not been playing around.”

Chris Roanna spoke to her professor on our behalf.

In class Q, other people thought that we went to class once a week and played the rest.

Of course, since I tend to be possessed and do more quests, I really took a break, but my other friends were taking their time to receive quests and proceed with quests in their own way.

“Okay, then the easiest way to prove it is to spar, but that has to be done on the final exam.”

After hearing those words, I felt Vulcan looking at me, so I looked at Vulcan for a moment and then turned my head to the professor.

“We must have figured out each other’s special skills while sparring. So this time, we will be conquering the A-level dungeon as a group task.”

The dungeon I came back from after beating the incomplete Suzaku like a punching bag not long ago was a grade A dungeon.

But the four of us are conquering a grade A dungeon? Last time, when I took Seoyeon instead of Chris Roanna, it was so easy that it could only be described as overwhelming.

As we looked confused, the professor nodded slightly and continued his speech.

“Excluding student Chris Roanna, three people have experience in conquering A-level dungeons, so it is natural to think that it is a midterm exam, but the A-level dungeons I am talking about are the ‘outside’ A-level dungeons. Students at the Global Academy Instead of the A-level dungeon opened for the sake of the game, you will be conquering a much more dangerous, real dungeon.”

Asui Miyama raised her hand and said.

“Professor, is this an unexplored dungeon?”

“No. There is a strategy. Considering the profitability and difficulty, it is omitted in the sense that it is difficult for the average student to perform.”

“Are you leaving right now?”

“Yes. If there is a student who needs equipment, they can bring it, but except for Asui Miyama, none of them really need weapons.”

Asui Miyama wore a Japanese sword on his waist, and Vulcan used gauntlets, which could be replaced with gauntlets.

Chris Roanna is a wizard and I make and use weapons, so I thought it would be okay to leave right away.

“You don’t have to worry too much, the professor will follow you just in case. Then let’s go.”

“Professor Jeon Yeon-nam, where is the professor who will go to the dungeon with us?”

“He is behind you.”

When we heard that, we simultaneously turned our heads and looked at the back of the classroom.

A man dressed in black looked at us and slightly bowed his head and said.

“Even though it’s still Class Q, it’s still not enough. Professor Jeon Yeon-nam, I’ll come back with all four of you alive.”

Seeing things like this made me realize that I was still at level 3.

It’s a terrifying world.
