“Everyone lifts up their desks, puts their phones in, and everyone knows I’m a space wizard, right? Give it a try if you can cheat. It’s because it’s an instant failure when caught.”

The morning of the day of the midterm exam was very noisy due to the sound of the desks being spaced apart from each other.

Kiik-kiik–kiik-kikiik–

For me, the first school exam I’ve had in years.

Even though it was just moving the desk, the memories of the time came to mind, and a longing smile formed on my lips without my knowledge.

Among the three-day midterm exams, there are a total of four subjects written on the board today.

[Korean]

[Mathematics]

[moral]

[strategy]

Korean language, mathematics, and morals were taught with test papers distributed in the classroom like other schools, but… … .

The highlight of the day is the subject at the end.

It was [Strategy].

“I come in as a supervisor during strategy class, so when other instructors come in, greet them properly. Oh, and I can’t help but say it… … If someone fails, be prepared, and Instructor Lee will personally take you around and give you special training. got it?”

Ji Soo-hyun leaves a bloody word before leaving the classroom.

She smiled and spoke coldly, and the other children nodded their heads with a firm expression and began to look at the organization notes they had prepared.

And in my case… … .

A power beyond the logic of the world.

I was thinking of using a ‘smart lens’.

‘One of these is enough.’

To be honest, I felt guilty and worried about whether I could use this ability during the exam, but being able to browse the Internet in a way that others do not know is an ability that is different from a cheat key only on days like this.

It was absurd for a deceased person to pass this on to effort rather than ability.

‘Because this is the way to speed up and increase efficiency.’

So, slowly… … .

[The use of Smart Lens will be temporarily suspended due to [Limited Attribute: Start of Test].]

“This shit——.”

* * *

As a result, the test is very difficult. No, fortunately I got a good look.

I was scared when the smart lens I believed in at first turned off, because the difficulty was easier than I thought.

‘Seoul Hero Academy’ is not an ordinary high school, but a school for nurturing heroes.

In fact, there is no way that a school created for a special purpose could have the same level of difficulty as a normal high school.

As a result, the middle school level test questions came out one after another, so in fact, I was able to achieve the splendid achievement of receiving a perfect score in the provisional score.

“No, why is the problem so difficult? What kind of private high school are we?”

… … Jinwu, who was sitting next to me, didn’t seem to like it, though.

After that, the remaining subject was [Strategy], a practical skill.

In the case of this subject, it was an important subject in the academy, so unlike other times, I could see the children memorizing the notation diligently.

[Strategy] The process of taking the exam was more difficult than I thought, but it was simple.

When one of the battles in history is reproduced on the tablet placed in each seat, the students compete for victory using the units.

In other words, it was very similar to the class pointed out by Ji Soo-hyun.

And so far I’ve been at the top of my first year in this subject.

“Now, did you open the screen? Is the timer up?”

The children nodded at the words of Ji Soo-hyun, who came in as a test supervisor.

“Yeah, you guys know what to do. Aren’t the test writers from the class where the instructor is in charge? right?”

All the children who properly interpreted the meaning of the words, ‘If your grades are lower than the other classes, prepare to search all over?’ gulped at the timer as it slowly approached zero.

“Okay then, prepare everything.”

When the timer finally reaches zero and the screen starts to flip.

I heard Ji Soo-hyun’s voice.

“start.”

The pitch-black screen starts to glow brightly, and an interface that looks like a game is unfolding in front of you.

A world where everything is on fire, as if arriving in hell.

The first thing I looked around, I started to get information from the surrounding landscape one by one.

Gray smoke constantly rising towards the sky, and flames and ash spreading all over the floor.

And a group of kangaroos running hard to avoid the flames in the distance.

‘Is this Australia? then… … Is it ‘Red Hell’?’

Knowing where the field was at once, I deduced the case.

It was a problem of hell difficulty, which is said to be extremely difficult even in a randomly selected strategy test.

But.

‘This is enough to solve. Sounds like fun, right?’

For me, it was just a short-lived entertainment.

Move the interface directly to check the status of currently assigned party members.

Then four avatars appeared.

All of them basically had the ‘Burn’ status or better.

One warrior and one archer, one thief and one cleric, a fundamental combination.

The monsters to deal with were an army of demons perched on the ridge, a combination of 50 low-level imps, 30 goblins, and one mid-level demon.

‘If you clean up, the field is a burning meadow. Terrain is what we call it. All of our party members are injured. Is this enough?’

A truly hopeless situation.

However, after confirming that there was still enough time left on the tablet, I started arranging the party members by moving my fingers.

Place Rogues and Priests in remote locations. Then, the warriors and archers are placed in stealth in the front direction of the demon forces.

At the same time, when the ‘Simulation Start’ button was pressed, the phrase ‘START’ came to mind and the demons began to move.

The direction they are heading is east, where there are priests and bandits.

I immediately had the thief carry the cleric and ordered the cleric to heal the thief’s leg.

-Kill the dirty god’s minions!

With the cry of an intermediate demon, the army’s speed begins to increase.

Perhaps because of the overwhelming difference in numbers of 4vs81, the enemies run very confidently.

If someone saw this scene, they would ask how the heck did they create this field to win… … In this world, it was one of the famous battles that are passed down as legends.

A story that is nothing short of a heroic tale, in which the base of a priest who had been active as a wizard in the past changed the flames and repulsed all the enemy forces.

So, those who studied hard would be able to clear it somehow if they placed the data as it was then and controlled it well.

‘But, if it were me, I wouldn’t do that.’

This problem could have been completed without anyone getting hurt if you carefully looked at the characteristics of each race and the surrounding environment.

Basically, demons hate priests very much.

If there is a clergyman in front of them, they want to tear them apart right away. They are devils.

So I ordered the warriors and archers to spread ash powder on their bodies and lie down.

As a result, only thieves and priests were exposed.

The cleric poured all his strength into healing the thief, and the thief, with the stamina created in this way, moved across the field with the cleric on his back, naturally breaking down the enemy formations.

And.

Keyeee

While the demons were distracted by the holy power of the priest, the warriors and archers quietly began to crawl forward.

I didn’t have to worry about middle-class demons noticing this.

It was because he was taking advantage of the field to the fullest.

‘Visibility limited by burning smoke. Smell obscured by the smell of burning. Isn’t it a battlefield made to hide in anyone’s eyes?’

It can be said that it is a field filled with sparks and ashes, so even from the point of view of escaping, it can be said to be quite desolate.

When the warrior and archer, who are getting closer and closer, finally catch them completely and slit the head of an unwary mid-level demon… … .

‘End.’

Shortly after starting, I was able to finish the test without hurting anyone.

[result]

[Try : 0]

[Serious injured: 0]

[death: 0]

[Time: 12:11]

‘Did it come out in 12 minutes?’

Probably the best record of this notation in my memory was 20 minutes.

‘If it was in its prime, I would have filmed within 10 minutes. It must have been a long break.’

Although there was regret.

‘Well, this should be enough.’

After submitting the results as they were, I confirmed that there was still a lot of time left and buried my head on the desk and slowly closed my eyes.

Korean high school students special.

Sleep when the test is over.

By the way… … .

‘Why is he sleeping?’

For some reason earlier than me.

There was Jinwoo lying on his stomach and trying to sleep.

after the exam is over.

At Kwak Chun-sik’s call, I went to the training room and took an Aura class for the first time in a long time.

“Today’s test was a strategy, right? From what I hear, they set a new record this time too.”

Before the class with Kwak Chun-shik, Kwak Chun-shik smiled and asked me while wearing Midas gloves.

“You mean strategy class? yes what I was lucky.”

“what? luck?”

He listened to my story and looked at me as if he was dumbfounded.

“Did it make sense to break a world record by luck?”

“I can’t say that I have both luck and skill.”

People have shame, so how can they pretend to be proud?

However, Kwak Chun-sik crossed his arms and shook his head as if it were natural.

“A good guy can say that. Because I was like that too.”

… … Surely the old man did that.

“More than anything else, you should be bragging about what my student has done, but if you are so humble, don’t you think I’m scolding you? So show off all over the place!”

As expected, this was the original intention.

Still, I couldn’t help but nod my head with a smile at those eyes that looked at me as if they were very proud.

“Oh, I heard a story from Gwangsoo. Did you learn his paralysis this time?”

When I was bouncing around in place after warming up, Kwak Chun-sik first asked me if he had seen and received what happened this weekend.

“Yes. The skill of using your hands as a furnace and a hammer. It’s a deadly skill depending on how it’s used.”

“Certainly. It is better to break something hard than to cut it.”

Saying that, he naturally focused his aura with his hands and demonstrated the technique of paralysis right in front of his eyes.

“It definitely felt like this.”

Obviously, it was a technique that Yoon Kwang-soo explained that he had never told the elders when he told me about it, but it was perfectly reproduced in his hands in an instant.

“It’s definitely a good technique. If you use your aura and gain enlightenment, you can develop well in this way.”

It was then that a question struck me.

“… … By the way, why don’t you use it?”

“what? Oh, did you mean this?”

Even now, I have never seen him use it in a game, even though he is still using it so easily.

I also think paralysis is a useful skill.

Still, I wondered why I didn’t use it normally.

Kwak Chun-shik laughed at this and approached me.

“Do you remember what I just said?”

“Yes? Obviously, it is better to break hard things than to cut them… … .”

“Yujin.”

Took. and his hand on my shoulder.

“There is nothing that I cannot cut with an aura, so why use it?”

A very arrogant yet confident statement that is possible because it is the pinnacle of a field.

“And you won’t need to use a sword in the upcoming exam either.”

For some reason, Kwak Chun-sik’s appearance when he said that looked better than usual.

‘… … Is it because you taught me a new technique?’

“How about it, does this master look a little cool? Ughhh.”

Well. Probably like that.
