chapter 2
2 – Entrance Ceremony Day # 2
I got up from my seat and bowed down while apologizing.
I would have kept my mouth shut if I’d known the f*cking man was going to blow a blast out of his mouth. It was unfair and I felt like going crazy.
“You screamed in surprise?! Aren’t you a cadet aiming for a hero?! Surprised by a mere voice, you swear and scream! It’s not good to relax your mind like that!!! Cadet! Name this something!!!”
Can’t it be expulsion!
“My name is Kim Geun-cheol!”
“Kim Geun-cheol! Chairman Lee will watch over you!”
She points with her index and middle fingers to her own eyes and sends them to me as she speaks!
“I apologized straight up, so I’ll forgive you! Take your seat!”
“Sit down!”
She’s a woman who exudes too much force, so I ended up reciting her blessing…!
“Heuk!”
My heart is beating wildly! What kind of girls are there? She sat right in her seat and calmed her beating heart!
Where in the world will a student whose name is called by the chairman on the day of the entrance ceremony!
I’m dying of surprise!
Anyway.
She was a woman with such sharp eyes that one would get tired just looking at her real eyes. There is also a scar around the eye like a Lion King scar. The overwhelming force is truly frightening. Her uniform has brushes on her shoulders and her long jacket is draped like a cape, so it’s scary.
“Whoa.”
After that, the entrance ceremony proceeded surprisingly powerfully.
“Chairman Lee is so proud of you guys!!!!”
Chairman continued to fire his voice like a gust of wind, and things like documents flew in all directions.
And on the screen behind it, the background of the chairman and his school history were displayed all the time. At a glance, the chairman is the most powerful awakening person in Korea and what kind of war in the past? One of the war heroes, and this school is said to be a very proud academy.
Game settings, right?
I’m not sure, but I’ll have to look into this.
“Then, the freshman will also start taking the oath of admission! This year, surprisingly, there are two senior cadets! Chairman Lee is truly amazing and satisfied!”
The chairman gave a satisfied smile as if he was happy.
“Co-Chief! Then, Chief Liu Chunhui! And Chief Leona! Come out!”
Les, what?
Miss Le Ona?
What crazy parent names their kid like that? Every time I see something like this, I get angry and I can’t stand it. Don’t name the kid as a joke! By the way, did Lessi exist in Korea?
No. Must be a foreigner
ㅡ Chuck.
Soon a beautiful woman with long silver hair went up onto the auditorium. That girl looks like Leona… She’s pretty. Looks like a foreigner too.
By the way, Chunhui Ryu? The person’s name is Liu Chunhui? Ah! I think I saw this on the wiki while brushing my teeth before I lost my mind! It must have been the main character’s rival position!
“Chief Liu Chunhui! Come out!”
But the child is not coming up.
“Chief Liu Chunhui! Isn’t this what I call!”
The chairman shouted loudly, but he still didn’t come out. Soon a man in a suit sprinted up and whispered to her boss, at the same time she vented her anger.
“What?! This bastard didn’t come at all?! Ryu Chun-hwi, this isn’t Ryu Seong’s son’s son! !”
It’s an open entrance ceremony, really.
I have never seen such an entrance ceremony in my life.
Well, I took the freshman oath alone like that.
“I solemnly swear that all of our freshmen will become proud heroes who will fight for the world.”
“Yes, yes! Our Chief Leona! Chairman Lee will be watching!”
“Thank you, Dark Yakushi.”
Black Yacha… A nickname like Inuyasha.
“Call me the chairman!”
“Yes.”
Anyway, that ended the entrance ceremony.
“Cadets, please go to the dormitory! The text message must have been sent, so check it out and go!”
As soon as it was over, some teachers-like people came out and announced it. I mean go to the dormitory.
Looking at the phone, I see. There was a text message saying that the dormitory had been assigned.
“…”
Let’s go…
* * *
That’s how I arrived at the dormitory.
ㅡ Tiring.
―――――――――――――――――
「Quest Completed」
「Participate in Ares Academy Entrance Ceremony」
―――――――――――――――――
A hologram-like window popped up in front of my eyes with a cheerful notification sound. I wasn’t surprised this time because I was preparing roughly.
「Reward: 100 Coin」
“Give me the money then, son of a b*tch.”
I don’t know what it is, but the notification window that I got 100 coins popped up once more and all the windows disappeared.
“What is it?”
You really didn’t give me anything? Could this be shot through my account? First of all, this is the world inside the game. Giving coins… It sounds like the money went into my in-game inventory or something, and I can use it in some store or something.
“Oh.”
A sigh escapes.
“It’s desolate, it’s desolate.”
It’s really frustrating.
Do I really have to live here now?
It’s freaking me out, but I knew very little about this game. Everything I’ve seen on the wiki and seen on the Internet in the past. Even the reason why I started was that someone said that there was a DLC, so I downloaded it because I wanted to take a look at it.
“…”
That’s a bit of a dick.
Let’s clear things up a bit.
The entrance ceremony is over. He said that since it’s 11:00 now, you can eat and go to the designated classroom at 1:00 pm. Until then, there is time left.
“You have a computer.”
The dormitory was a private room. Will the rating be 10 ratings? It has everything there is, and it seems to be enough for me to be alone.
Now I am a hero student. It seems that he is an Awakener who has awakened superhuman strength, and that is why he is treated like this. Well, since they’re fighting monster-like enemies, they probably need to be treated.
Anyway, since we have a computer, let’s gather some information.
I don’t think I’ll be able to live in anxiety if I don’t learn about this world now. I can speak the language, but I feel like I’m in a foreign country.
And I’ll have to figure out some way to get home… I really don’t know.
“Before that, wash your face.”
I went to the bathroom, turned on the water, and looked in the mirror.
“Huh? You bastard?”
Are you really young? This is not my 24-year-old wakkoo, but a wakku when I was 20 years old. How many years younger are you? I’ll give it back to my high school days when I’m younger.
I kinda like this one.
“Good.”
After washing my face enjoying my youth like that, I went and sat down in front of the computer.
I immediately took out my student ID and searched for Ares Academy on the Internet. It is a law to log in to school with a student ID. There is no information about me, so let’s take a look here.
“Oh.”
Log in.
I searched all over the homepage to find my information, and I was able to find my application form and personal information. Kya You’re amazing, my information-gathering skills. I clapped alone and moved the mouse.
[Name: Kim Geun-chul]
[Age: 17]
[Gender: Male]
I’m really 17 years old.
While looking at the information about me, I looked at the fields for family relations and academic background.
[Attendance: Hanbit Orphanage Elementary School]
[Enrollment: Kkumdongne Orphanage Elementary School]
[Student: Dr. Chaplin Orphanage Elementary School]
[Graduation: Beautiful Orphanage Elementary School]
[Enrollment: Gounmaeum Orphanage Middle School]
[Enrollment: Ancient Batista Orphanage Middle School]
[Graduation: Bitmadang Orphanage Middle School]
“What, what?”
Am I an orphan?
[Part: Death]
[Mother: Death]
“Hey you bastard!!!!!!!!”
Why do you want to kill my parents, you bastards!
“Ahh!!!!”
I feel like I can’t even resist when I’ve been hit by a pad lip!
I never thought I would feed you candy like this! Even the orphanage was in the state of being hit by a dog! It probably feels like that in the setting, but what the hell was wrong with it, so I was running round and round all the time!
What a bomb I am!
I’m not the problem!
And what are Dr. Chaplin Orphanage and Ancient Batista Orphanage doing? It’s an incomprehensible naming! That kind of lettering in front of the orphanage shouldn’t be!
“Whoa!”
He let out a sigh of anger as he skimmed through the information again.
[Awakening period]
This is the most important thing. Looking at the time, it seems that I woke up about half a year ago from today. So, it seems that he awakened when he was in the middle school of Bityard Orphanage and applied for the academy.
“Awakening.”
So am I a superman?
Is there really something superhuman in my body?
I don’t feel it right now… Let’s check.
[Awakening Rank: F]
“Uh. f*ck you, air fryer.”
So it means that I awakened with an F rank half a year ago. It feels f*cked up, but it will be better than normal people.
Then let’s learn about Awakening.
ㅡ clap clap clap.
I immediately searched for the contents in the Internet window.
“Awakening.”
Awakening literally means suddenly gaining superhuman powers. What is this process called? Through awakening, ordinary people are reborn as awakened people, and awakened people can effectively deal with monsters and monsters coming from the other world.
“It’s a common setting.”
So when it comes to this Awakening Rank, F rank is said to be the most common and basic one. There is no big difference from normal people, but the biggest difference is that they can handle magic.
But the potential for growth is open.
Over 70% of Awakeners start with an F rank. It seems that this rank is generally determined by the amount of magical power possessed. There are other things, but to put it simply, mana is the most important thing.
“mana?”
It is said that there is something called magical power in my body.
This magical power is said to be the fuel that gives risers superhuman strength. Something that is used for shooting flames or generating superhuman strength.
Anyway, since I’ve awakened, I can handle magic… Let’s experiment.
“mana!”
I clenched my fists, jabbed and shouted.
“Magic power! Magical power! Mar-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!”
I can’t feel anything yet… Ah! Right! I have a knife in my side!
