I Got the Academy Morale Rune

EP.33 End of Semester Assessment (3)

The day of the end-of-semester evaluation was bright.

The academy was packed with nervous first-year students from the morning.

The training ground was already full, and there were many people who predicted their opponents and played mock battles in various places.

“Do Jaehyun! Here it is!”

“… … .”

When I arrived at the exam center with Kim Chae-eun.

Mun Ga-eun had already taken the place of fame.

The best place to watch other people’s Dalian and leave immediately when your name is called.

After all, there is no one to follow Moon Ga-eun in this kind of thing.

It is different from the speed at which the player hits.

Next to him, of course, was his best friend Kang Joo-yeon…

Park Jin-woo was sitting in the corner.

“Oh! I’m finally here.”

Why are you here again?

“How did you know you came here again, Park Jin-woo?”

“Oh, really. don’t talk If you stay where we are, Jaehyun Do can see you too, because I’ve been stuck here alone since a while ago.”

Ga-eun Moon gave an ambiguous explanation as if she was getting tired of it.

Also Park Jin-woo.

Like a hot-blooded holder, Moon Ga-eun and Kang Joo-yeon’s contemptuous gaze did not hesitate.

One of his courage is a guy that needs to be acknowledged.

“ha ha ha. I don’t have any friends anyway, but it’s best to watch with Do Jae-hyun.”

“It’s proud. uhh Anyway, I’m annoyed because my dad is yelling at me today.”

“line? what line?”

At Moon Ga-eun’s reckless remark, I asked myself.

Almost all first-year students at the current academy are 20-year-olds, just adults.

What’s wrong with a 20-year-old like that?

But there was a lot of stress.

Moon Ga-eun’s forehead frowned even more.

“Oh, I don’t know either. my dad is really weird I want to meet the heir of the flower of the setting sun, but I’m dying of trouble.”

＜Sunset Flower＞ is a mid-level clan that is rising these days.

Although not comparable in size to the three major clan, it was a clan that was growing as an emerging powerhouse in Korea by taking advantage of their unique characteristics.

The heir to that clan is probably Jeong Hyun-seok, a warrior who is a sophomore at the Academy.

We were the same age, only one year apart.

to feel something strange.

I tilted my head and asked.

“Aren’t you just going on a blind date?”

“Where is the blind date that Dad arranges for you! If adults do it, it’s all good.”

“is it?”

“It’s not even the Joseon Dynasty, and I don’t like my daughter, so why do I keep doing that… heh Jooyeon, I feel sorry for you.”

“… … .”

Kang Joo-yeon seems to be quite familiar with the situation.

I lightly ignored her words.

Then he slowly waved to me.

“… hi.”

uh?

Did you say hello to me now?

I suddenly waved my hand.

“Uh, uh. hi.”

Say hello to Kang Joo-yeon?

If this isn’t Moon Ga-eun, it’s really precious.

For some reason, I can feel Kim Chae-eun holding her collar tightly, but…

I must be mistaken.

We went to an empty seat and sat down.

“Hey. It’s been a long time since we’ve all gathered like this. Isn’t it almost a month?”

Park Jin-woo said while stretching.

Come to think of it, the member who attacked the dungeon together.

Five people gathered together.

After that, I went to dungeon raids with Kim Chae-eun a few times, but…

Anyway, it was the first time that all the early members had gathered.

Maybe it’s because we were together for life and death?

Or maybe it’s because they’re the main characters I liked.

I felt much closer when I was with them than with other students.

“Did everyone prepare well for the evaluation?”

End-of-semester assessment today.

An important test that determines whether to skip or demote, and changes in grades within the school year.

When he brought up the topic, Moon Ga-eun’s expression became particularly bad.

“Not at all. Since the matching opponent class is random, the archer class is too disadvantageous. Still, I get angry because my dad keeps telling me to stand up, but it’s twice as stressful.”

“Because it’s a blind date, not a line.”

“Anyway… !!”

As Moon Ga-eun said.

Although she is at a disadvantage in this type of duel.

Because archers shine more in team battles where they form a party than in one-on-one battles.

If you meet even a fast-paced warrior class.

It was the end of victory or defeat.

Of course, losing in Dalian is not a huge problem.

At the end of the semester, not only the Dalian evaluation, but also the subject evaluation by department.

“… … .”

Kang Joo-yeon was quietly listening to us.

She nodded her head slightly with a calm face.

The only B-class holder in the first year.

That title alone feels intimidating.

Even through the entire academic year of the academy, there are not many opponents, so it would be easy to evaluate at the end of the semester.

Even if I didn’t prepare much, it was understandable that I was confident.

The same goes for Park Jin-woo.

As usual, he showed a characteristic self-confidence with a worry-free face.

“It doesn’t matter who comes! But there are opponents I want to fight against.”

“who.”

“Ask what are you doing? Jaehyun Do, you. ha ha ha.”

“Oh, little. Aren’t you tired of it?”

“Not at all! Every moment is fun! It feels new every time I do it.”

What is Ji-Sung Park? .

I think I’ve fought with him more than 20 times since the actual battle for the entrance exam, but Park Jin-woo seems to be still hungry.

In the original story, there was no competitor who burned Park Jin-woo like this, but after I intervened, I feel like the scope of Park Jin-woo’s growth has widened.

As proof of that, he is showing his skills beyond the current point of the original without having to learn [Wave Swordsmanship].

It’s not just the protagonist’s talent.

Of course, if I fight now, I win.

I am also growing at the same speed as him.

-From now on, the first semester of Seoul Holder Academy, the end of the semester evaluation. Let’s start with Dalian, the last of them. Please note that students who do not appear in the examination room when called will be disqualified.

At that moment, the supervisor in the center of the examination room picked up the microphone.

“Oh, it starts.”

“Ugh, I’m nervous.”

“Please, wizards, please… !!”

The students in the waiting room also began to roar.

In fact, if the opponent is matched by class compatibility, the professors also take all of them into consideration and grade them.

If you are at a disadvantage, you score as many points as you are at a disadvantage.

If you have an advantage, you score as few points as you have an advantage.

Next to it, ‘Please, wizard series… Like the student who begs, ‘, there is no need to want to match the class.

But even then, the desire to win must be strong.

– This is the first match. It is a holder of Mun Ga-eun of the advanced class of archers, and the holder of the advanced class of wizards. Both students, please come to the test room.

The person’s name is Eom Cha-sik?

I paused for a moment, but…

Anyway, the first match was Moon Ga-eun’s match.

From the start of the evaluation, a battle between the upper class.

However, the match was more one-sided than expected.

Unlike her pretending to cry in front of us, Ga-eun Moon showed off her skills by not being nervous at all in the game.

Using [Dolphin’s Sound Wave] to quickly see through the opponent’s holder’s magic, and using its superior speed to launch counter attacks as it is.

Finally, her trademark skill [Extreme Shot].

Like a holder with the [Wind Archer] rune.

It was Moon Ga-eun, who showed a high-level archer game.

“As expected, Ga-eun Moon is different.”

“It has to be that level to be an archer-type archer tower.”

“If Moon Ga-eun graduates, he will go straight to the Royal Clan, right?”

All the comrades around her admired her game.

Kang Joo-yeon is often forgotten for a while because of her powerful performance, but Moon Ga-eun was also one of the elite in the upper class.

“Well done.”

“… I know.”

Even Kang Joo-yeon, who was praised for it, agreed with this.

The evaluation match continued with the first match as the lead.

Advanced and Advanced, Advanced and Intermediate.

Intermediate and Intermediate Classes, Intermediate Classes and Lower Classes…

Matching of classes and classes was random.

However, because the gap between the upper class and the lower class was too wide, they were selected without the matching setting.

– This is the eleventh game. Holder of Do Jae-hyeon of the intermediate class assassin, and Hyo-won Kim of the advanced class of warrior class. Both students, please come to the test room.

“ah! too bad.”

My name was called, and Park Jin-woo, who was next to me, exclaimed.

Park Jin-woo has not yet been matched with Dalian.

He seemed to feel regretful that his opponent was not me.

Actually, I’m sad too.

I don’t know much about the holder named Kim Hyo-won, but I know roughly that he has the skills of an advanced class.

From my point of view, I want to face a slightly stronger opponent.

It would be better than fighting an intermediate class holder, but I honestly felt that I wanted to face a strong opponent who could check my skills if at all possible.

Considering [Rune Hunter], that’s how you get better runes.

‘For example, Ji Yoon-jae… ‘

In my heart, I hoped that I would face Ji Yoon-jae or Ahn Do-kwon.

I wanted to gauge how talented Ji Yoon-jae is…

Ando Kwon is a slightly dangerous opponent, but I think it would be better for me to deal with him than for a single comrade to die.

Anyway, as long as the opponent is decided.

I had to do my best to fight.

“Two holders, greet each other and prepare for the match.”

Following the supervisor’s words, I and Kim Hyo-won briefly shook hands.

However, this holder, Kim Hyo-won, seems to have a more active personality than I thought.

After shaking hands, come closer to me…

He patted his shoulder lightly.

“Let’s play fair, Do Jaehyun.”

“… uh? uh, uh.”

Park Jin-woo’s friendliness is a good guy.

How can you be so friendly with the opponent you are supposed to fight in a match?

I answered in a hurry and immediately prepared for battle.

A dagger at the waist and a long sword at the back.

The main weapons are all ready.

The fact that I am a multi-holder is a well-known fact.

Even if you use both weapons at the same time…

No one found it strange.

After the supervisor confirms that we are ready.

He signed his autograph and announced the start.

“Game, start.”

Pot, faah-!

As with his lively personality, he has no hesitation in fighting.

As soon as the start sign rang, Kim Hyo-won grabbed her sword and ran straight to me.

It looked like an animal that ran without hesitation.

It’s a battle composition that’s not bad for me.

It would have been welcome for me as well if they would come to the front without a search battle.

Without hesitation, I pulled out the sword behind my back.

“… uh?”

But something was strange.

A long sword made of hard material by Choi Yu-min.

As soon as I took it out, it suddenly melted and lost its shape.

Like a rusty iron sword.

The sword was corroded and oxidized.

‘what… ?’

I stared at the sword in a dazed state.

For a moment, I couldn’t understand the situation.

But it didn’t take long for me to figure out why.

‘When we shook hands earlier!’

Kim Hyo-won went beyond shaking hands and tapped my shoulder.

I felt a little strange because he suddenly tapped me on the shoulder and talked to me, but at that moment, I did something.

I think I used a special item to corrode my sword behind my back.

Even though I am an assassin, it is well known that I use the [Sword] as my main rune and weapon, both from the lectures I listen to and the performances I have shown.

Kim Hyo-won caught it and broke my sword.

If my opponent was a wizard, there would be no need to use it, but anyway, I am an assassin who is close to a warrior…

Because it’s the type of weapon destruction that works.

It was a fairly meticulous battle preparation.

“It’s over, Jaehyun Do… !!”

Kim Hyo-won came close to me with a cheer.

… Let’s play fair, damn it.
