I Became an Academy Overpowered Dual Swordsman

157 – 1st place in the whole school

The next morning, I packed my twin swords and headed to the first-year academy. On the way, I heard some people muttering to me.

“Did you hear the story? The class president of Class B of the first year is ranked first in the entire school…”

“Oh my god. You’re stronger than Eun-i, who learned the Fire Dragon’s Flames.”

“But that makes sense. You took it down so easily. What kind of magic was that?”

“Well… how did you manage to hide that power all this time and become 222nd?”

Their conversation was so interesting that I decided to keep listening.

“Hide your power… just in case. Oh, no, but really, just in case, Kim Ido is SS…”

“Hey. Isn’t that too much?”

It’s not just those two. At some point, rumors started spreading that I was SS as if it were a done deal. Anyway, everything will be revealed soon, so isn’t it a good thing?

As I sat down in my seat in Class 1B, Sohee and Harin, who always greeted me, appeared.

“Good morning, Idoya! Did you see your report card?”

“Yeah. I saw it. It was first place.”

“Of course! But is that okay?”

Harin asked while looking around.

“Yeah. It won’t be long anyway… How about the two of you?”

“I’m ranked 22nd in the entire school! Isn’t that amazing? I guess I got all the answers on the written test right.”

Maybe that was all wrong and it was thanks to my rapport with Neri that I got there. Meanwhile, Sohee hesitated and spread out four fingers.

“I’m 4th in the whole school…”

“Oh.”

“I have to introduce myself nicely. I’m in 4th place after making two V’s with both hands! Double peace.”

“Am I you?”

“Kids. They look good.”

Eun-woo and Seon-young appeared, listening to the conversation and putting their arms on her shoulders.

“A surprising rise in rankings… Is it because our group and Song Da-eun’s group were defeated?”

“That’s part of it, and the anti-war aspect is probably a big factor as well. How are you two?”

“It’s just so-so. I’m one place lower in rank than that Kim So-hee.”

Seonyeong is in 5th place.

“That makes sense. After losing to me twice.”

“All, get back up!”

“I won’t do it with a sloppy person.”

“Where did you learn that way of speaking?”

And Eun-woo was the first of us to drop in rank and ended up in second place. Even so, she just smiled brightly and joked around.

“I got second place, so can I go into the second group now?”

“Haha. It’s already full.”

“Just leave out Sohee who came in 4th. Since she’s 4, it doesn’t fit into two (2).”

Once again, Eun-woo and So-hee were engaged in a strange war of nerves.

“Since it’s two, it’s 4. 2 times 2 is 4, and 2 plus 2 is 4.”

“Wouldn’t it be a shame for you first-year students at the High School Academy to fight over numbers?”

With Seonyeong’s one word, the war of nerves was immediately resolved. At that moment, our homeroom teacher Boram appeared and called me. The time had come.

“Hey, Idoya. The guests have arrived…”

“Okay, guys. I’ll be back in a bit.”

On the way to the first grade room following Teacher Boram, I ran into the principal.

“Hello, principal!”

“Why are you so nervous? By the way. Congratulations on becoming an A-class wizard.”

“Thank you! But, that’s like wrinkling in front of a S-class wizard.”

“That goes for me too. There’s a bigger guy next to me, so don’t be like that.”

“leading figure…?”

We went into the first-year faculty office.

Inside was Kwak Yong-cheol, the older brother of the head of the Demonic Association and vice-president, Kwak Beom-cheol, and the second vice-president of Lucia.

“You’re here. I wonder if I called you too early in the morning…”

“What. At 9 in the morning, you’re a gentleman. The person who called me at dawn is calling me again.”

“It’s been a while. But your face looks a lot heavier than before.”

“Haha. Did you notice?”

Since I was in a position where I had to prepare for the final match soon, I looked at all the first-year teachers gathered before saying anything. Beom-cheol, Mi-sook, Choi-seok, etc… They weren’t all mine, but they were strict teachers who cared deeply for their students.

I took out my ID and showed it to him, along with the initials SS and the magic seal of the head of the Demonic Association.

“I’m sorry for keeping it a secret.”

“…No. I had a vague feeling about it. You stood out since the entrance ceremony.”

“Are you taking up the sword?”

“Puhaha. It’s not just for that reason.”

When I looked to the side, Boram looked at me with her eyes wide open.

“Eww! Then why was it ranked 222nd?! See, your actual skill is that of an SS-rank magician.”

Misuk agreed with those words.

“That’s true. You have quite an unusual hobby. Hiding your powers and enrolling… Does using a sword count as one of those bad hobbies?”

To be exact, I was really weak when it came to deciding the rankings… but what’s the use of that? I decided to just beat around the bush.

“Because it was easier for me to work as an SS. And now it’s time for me to reveal that I am an SS.”

“In other words, does that mean that our help is needed too?”

“yes.”

The more defeats, the better. Especially in the final war. I have informed the people here that the Demon God will soon awaken from his eternal sleep and the great war will begin.

“Huh. What is that? Deus, who was considered a legend in history class, is actually alive and dreams of conquering the Earth. Since it’s something SS said, I can’t say it’s a lie.”

“Sohee, Harin, Yueun, Seonyoung, Da-eun… Those kids were different in some way. It seemed like they were preparing for something beyond the academy. Do they know this story too?”

“Yes, sir.”

“I see… Our answer has already been decided. Right, teachers?”

“Yes. Isn’t it a teacher’s duty to protect his students? SS. Tell us when you need our help.”

And Misuk answered with a bright smile.

“I lost because my opponent was SS. Hi. Why didn’t you say anything until now, you’re so embarrassing?”

“That’s right! You didn’t even tell me, your homeroom teacher.”

“haha…”

With this, I also made the first-year teachers my allies. On my way out of the first-year classroom, the principal called me.

“There are only a few days left until the total solar eclipse. Are you ready?”

“yes.”

“Well, who am I to worry about? They say worrying about SS is the most useless worry…”

The principal is a rare magician who has mastered both light and darkness. So he must know very well how dangerous it is for light and darkness to coexist. Perhaps that is why his expression looked even darker.

“Can I come with you that day?”

“I couldn’t be happier.”

At that moment, my smartphone rang. It was a text from none other than Harin.

[Idoya, we’re practicing at our D training ground. Get your work done and come back quickly. We’re in big trouble right now.]

What the heck?

“Then excuse me.”

“huh.”

Inside the quiet D training ground.

The guys who were training welcomed me.

“Hey. You’re here? What did you talk about with the teachers?”

“I just revealed that I’m SS and that a great war with Masin will begin soon.”

“That… doesn’t seem like something to talk about so calmly.”

“Seonyoung is scared?!”

“Sigh~.”

Neri, who was hugging Harin, also joined in.

“shut up.”

“What could be worse than that?”

“Ah. Do you remember the secret book I received from Erna-sama before? Aqua Symphony… She said she finally completed it.”

“oh.”

“Want to hear it?”

“I will do that.”

I moved and walked towards the magic scarecrow.

“Aqua Symphony can attack as well as heal. Why~ Who said that before? Even enemies can hear the healing waves, so it’s a total waste.”

A clean slate… That’s what he said. Anyway, that was his shortcoming, so he couldn’t use it openly in front of the enemy.

“You’re saying that it was perfectly secured? Did Erna-sama make it with that in mind?”

-That’s right. But there’s one thing Erna didn’t think about.

Ercana, who was wearing a penguin costume next to me, aroused my curiosity.

“What is it?”

-I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t sing.

“I see…”

“Let’s get started. Neriya, relax your neck.”

“.”

The healing power must have also become much stronger. So how powerful is it? It seems I’m not the only one who’s curious, and everyone else is looking at it intently.

This feeling of my whole body being healed by the sweet singing voice. And when I looked at the magic scarecrow, there was a crack in it. At this level, it would be an advanced magic, a near-top level magic. I didn’t expect Harin to be this good… Hehe.

“How was it?”

“That was great. You both worked hard.”

“Does Neri sing well because she has a big belly? She uses the fat in her belly as a singing pouch…”

As Neri showed off her singing bag, Yu-eun stroked her stomach with a bright smile.

“Oh my, so cute.”

“Kyuu kyuu!”

“Okay. Since you showed me something good, I’ll show you something else. Since Mana seems to have fully recovered, Seonyeong-ah.”

“ok.”

Rose Flare, a combination of Seonyeong’s grass magic and Eun’s top-level fire magic.

Kwaaang!!!

The magic scarecrow was burned to the ground in one fell swoop.

Not only that, it seemed much more stable than last time.

“Oh, I got rid of the magic scarecrow!”

“What’s this? The class president can be finished with one slash.”

When I looked to the side, Sohee had a gloomy look on her face.

“I didn’t know Choi Yu-eun would become that strong…”

Of course, she is the wizard with the greatest magical talent in the story. But there is no need to be impatient. Sohee is a wizard who inherits Erna’s will.

“You can become stronger than Yu-eun. You have to believe in yourself.”

“…huh.”

-You always help me whenever I feel wavering. We have a strange relationship. Fiance?

“Oh, no.”

***

Today is the weekend, and I left the dormitory after preparing to see the total solar eclipse.

The current time is 4:40 PM. The moon will completely cover the sun at 4:44 PM. I summoned Linne and her mother Lenne before heading to the meeting place at Delaon Academy.

“Okay. I’ve made some health supplements for you this time too. Enjoy them.”

[You have obtained the elixir made from the horn of a dark dragon.]

“Huh? Did you really make it by cutting off the horn?”

“Haha. You’re sharp. You catch on quickly. Right. Did you know? Among humans, the horn of an old dragon is said to be a panacea.”

“I see. Something so precious to me…”

“Horns grow quickly. In fact, they have already grown.”

Lene showed the horns on her head.

“He’s going to be my son-in-law soon, so he has to do this much.”

“Oh, Mother!”

When we arrived at the meeting place, the principal and Song Da-eun were waiting.

“Huh? Why is Da-eun here?”

“I just came to see the solar eclipse. And the principal… and the person next to me is S-class magician Lee, Linne?!”

What the heck. Did I get caught up in this by accident?

“You were interested in solar eclipses too? I didn’t know.”

“Ah… yeah. Actually, there’s a legend that’s been passed down through generations in my family.”

“huh?”

While I was wondering, Da-eun started saying the exact same thing as the legend I had heard last time.

“The legend says that on the day light and darkness come together, a door leading to the far side of the moon opens in rippling chaos… How ridiculous. Ahahaha…”

“!”

It seemed that I wasn’t the only one who was surprised, as everyone asked about the legend. Lene in particular answered with a hearty laugh.

“I thought you were a descendant of that family. Wasn’t there a legend about a female dragon flying in and learning darkness?”

“Yes! Oh, how did you…”

“I’m a female dragon.”

“yes?!”

At that moment, a full solar eclipse began. Da-eun apologized for being busy and took out Raven and flew up.

“It’s a mix of magic and science. I thought it was chaos…”

But there was no response. Da-eun lowered her head with a regretful expression. Was my prediction correct? Magical science is similar to chaos, but it was artificially created and was only inferior. Of course, that was also very great.

“Ah… that wasn’t the case. What a pity. Then what on earth is chaos?”

“Tell me about the coexistence of light and darkness.”

As I unleashed chaos in my right hand, a portal made of heterogeneous black and white appeared.

“That strange energy you showed during the final exam… I didn’t know it was chaos! How did you do that?”

“Is the introduction late?”

I showed my student ID with the initials SS on it.

“I am SS.”
