134 – Skill supremacy (2)

– Now, please write your name here and put it in the container.

Following Jaden’s instructions, students write their names on white paper and put them in the bin.

The professors are watching from a little distance.

“But you are strong.”

“Heh, heh… Yes?”

Kang Han-na, who had been laughing a little while ago, turned her head toward the place where she had been called, wiping the slightly dripping saliva with the back of her hand.

He was looking at him with an expression that he saw something that the 3rd year professor, who had taken care of him many times throughout his student days and teaching assistant days, couldn’t see it.

“You seem to be overdoing it a little earlier… … Are you okay?”

“What?”

“What sucks.”

“Ouch!!”

Guess who isn’t the same martial arts lecturer?

Took! I think I hit it lightly, but my side tingled.

“It’s tough.”

“… I’m telling you in advance, don’t do that to students. Professor, are your hands really fucking hot?”

“Hey, what is Jonna? Don’t use your words nicely, dude.”

He was a distant senior even if only by simple seniority, but Kang Han-na is a 3rd year professor, perhaps because of the relationship he had during his student days. Hwang Min-ho was not too difficult.

Hwang Min-ho asked again as he tousled the hair of Kang Han-na, who was a former student and now a junior professor.

“So, who is the kid you bet on?”

“… Stop paying attention to my cutie.”

“Huh, hey. I’ve already bet all my money, so what’s the difference if I tell you?”

“Oh right.”

Hwang Min-ho clicked his tongue briefly at Kang Han-na’s reaction.

Even when he was a student, he stubbornly won scholarships and hung himself in contests with expensive artifacts.

Even now, even after becoming a professor, I almost laughed at the thought that I was so consistent in how my eyes turned when money was involved.

“So who are you, dude?”

“Oh, it hurts! See… … .”

Kang Han-na rubbed her slightly pinched forearm and pointed to the place where the students were gathered.

“Do you see that pure white fairy over there?”

“yes. Looks good. Is it him?”

“Yes. One hundred and one… He’s a cutie who will put me on the money cushion. hehehe… … .”

“… … .”

Hwang Min-ho clicked his tongue briefly at Kang Han-na, who was smiling like a man of a similar age to him. Then, he turned his gaze and took a closer look at the white girl Kang Han-na pointed out earlier.

‘Hmm, it just seems normal… .’

Rather, the two girls clinging to each other looked more special.

‘Still, there must be something.’

Seeing the children of the teenage guild sticking together like that, it seemed clear that there was something he hadn’t discovered.

“Ughh, 37 times… … Uhh… .”

“… Ugh.”

Hwang Min-ho looked at Kang Han-na, who was standing next to him, with a slightly pitiful gaze.

Arena Academy.

A place where only talented people gather among the talented people who fly and fly in specialized schools.

If this was an ordinary academy, the freshmen would surely have been able to beat the upperclassmen depending on the total amount of awakened ability and magical power.

But this is Arena Academy.

The freshmen are probably the best talents, too, but it was the same for the upperclassmen.

And those who are gathered here now are the children who are at the top of the list of talented people.

In other words, everyone present here is a talented person with exceptional abilities.

‘I don’t even think about my student days… … ?’

The same geniuses are struggling to reach a higher place, but how can the young wild beasts who have just been thrown into the wild fight against the real beasts that are preparing to become predators?

Hwang Min-ho’s gaze turned to the female student standing next to Jayden.

A female student with black hair, nothing special, and a plain impression.

A third-year student who is the current vice president and the next student council president.

‘Yoon dew… … .’

Hwang Min-ho recalled her ability and once again glanced sideways at Kang Han-na, who was smiling heartily next to him.

In the history of Arena Academy, the position of ‘King’ has always been occupied by the 3rd year students.

‘I’ll have to buy you a meal later.’

Hwang Min-ho was sure that there would be no change in the history this year as well.

“First, let me explain the rules for the freshmen.”

The heads of the upperclassmen are one hundred, Nam Seo-hee. And I headed to the place where Na Joo-hee was. It was because those three were the only freshmen who participated in the rankings.

“First, each person pulls out a name tag from the barrel. After checking each other’s opponents, decide whether or not to compete, and then if you don’t think you can win, you can forfeit on the spot.”

After the match, the students go on stage to determine the winner, and the loser and winner groups are again divided.

Then, the loser group divides the winner and loser again, and the students who win in the loser group point out the student they want from the winner group and have a confrontation.

“Of course, it is possible for students who are singled out by the losers to also withdraw. If that happens, the positions of the two will naturally change, right? After going through the work of dividing winners and losers once again like this, the winners go through the winners and the losers go through the losers once again, and the result from this is the final ranking.”

The rank match is held once a week, and the rank below can only challenge the rank one rank above. Also, students who did not participate before today’s ranking must challenge from the lowest ranking.

“Isn’t it difficult?”

Hana Baek nodded, and the two girls also said yes.

“Then, shall we, starting with the first year students, come out and choose?”

As Jaden held out the box, Baek Ha-na strode forward and put her hand into the hole.

Sarak, Sarak.

Unlike walking out without hesitation, Hana Baek was quite cautious about choosing a name tag. As if you are looking for someone.

Squeak.

Finally, Hana Baek took her hand out of the barrel.

Then he unfolded the name tag in his hand.

[Yun Dew Seul]

“Hmm, Miss Yun Isul?”

Jayden looked at the black-haired senior standing right next to him and called out the name written on the paper.

-wow. All in all… … .

– It’s not like it’s going to fire at us, right?

– Even the hair color is completely opposite.

The upperclassmen started whispering.

Jayden cleared his throat briefly and continued.

“Hana? The upperclassman over here is Ms. Hana’s opponent.”

“All right.”

Baek Hana nodded calmly and stood next to Yoon Isul.

Jaden tried to say a few more words, but then shut his mouth.

Instead, he pushed the barrel forward and continued his progress.

**

“hi.”

When they were pairing each other, Yun Seul greeted Hana Baek first.

“hello.”

Baek Hana calmly accepted her greeting.

Yoon Isul stared at the face of Baek Ha-na, who was a little taller than herself, and asked quietly.

“You were looking for my name tag.”

The reason she asked this question was simple.

It was because as soon as he pulled out his name tag, a pure white junior standing next to him stared at him. It’s as if they’re trying to make sure that what they’ve chosen is the right answer.

“Yes.”

“I see.”

Hana Baek meekly admitted.

Yoon Isul also nodded without a big reaction.

I was a little curious as to how they found it.

‘I didn’t even use magic.’

I just wrote my name with an ordinary pen.

Of course, name tags are just plain paper.

But how did you find your own?

I wanted to satisfy my curiosity right away, but the opponent was a junior.

It was also a partner that I would go on stage with in a little while.

Even so, I didn’t want to ask a question that would expose my junior’s strength. I was wondering if you could tell me.

Yun Seul licked her lips and examined Baek Ha Na carefully.

Sharp eyes and smooth skin.

Plus an overly huge chest.

A pretty junior who smells good when hugged.

‘I’ll take you to a cafe when it’s all over.’

By then, you would have realized where you were.

The corner of Yun Seul’s eyes curved like a snake.

**

After all pairs are set.

Nam Seo-hee looked down the stage with a very displeased expression.

“Do you think one will win?”

Nam Seo-hee looks uncomfortable to anyone.

However, Na Joo-hee, who was sitting next to me, threw out her words without even thinking about that.

“… Don’t call me friendly.”

“One allowed it, so why does it matter?”

fast!

An eerie sound flowed from Nam Seo-hee’s tightly shut mouth.

“Hana, don’t you know you have this kind of personality?”

“… … .”

Nam Seo-hee did not answer and looked down again.

It was because Baek Ha-na and upperclassman Yoon I-seul just went on stage.

“Are you dumb? What do you think?”

“… Ha, just shut up and see.”

Adding to the fact that she is aiming for Baek Ha-na makes her even more reluctant to Na Joo-hee, but fundamentally, the reason why Nam Seo-hee hates her is because of her noisy personality who always says what she has to say.

Nam Seo-hee, who hates noisy and annoying things since she was born, and Na Joo-hee, who always has a fiery personality.

The two were a perfect match no matter what anyone said.

“I admit that Hana is great, but I think it will be a little difficult against that senior.”

“… … .”

“If you had helped, one might have withdrawn. Why did you do that?”

“… … .”

“Are you really dumb?”

Nam Seo-hee ended up using magic to block her hearing.

Only then did peace come back to Nam Seo-hee’s heart.

The two are facing each other at a distance of well over 300 steps.

Certainly, the upper class’s arena boasted a different scale from that of the first year students.

‘How am I going to win?’

Why didn’t Na Ju-hee help Baek Ha-na when he asked Baek Ha-na to withdraw?

Simple.

It was because he was sure that Baek Hana would win.

‘Yoon dew.’

Excluding the soon-to-be graduating student council president, she was currently the strongest in the academy.

The owner of a rare ability to manipulate ‘shadows’ that cannot be filled with even one finger on the basis of the entire world, and a brilliant brain that understands innate magical power and magic techniques.

The owner of a talent that cannot but be followed by the modifier of genius.

Unlike his plain face, he is an Awakener who has the temperament of a ferocious ruler inside.

It was nothing more than the information that Maria had saved, but Nam Seo-hee, who saw Yoon Isul with her own eyes, was convinced.

‘One is better.’

Baek Ha-na, who is a transmutation system, but possesses magical powers that surpass those of the supernatural world.

However, except for a very few people, they do not know that Baek Hana possesses such vast magical power.

On the other hand, Yun Seul was captured to some extent, but it was felt that he still possessed a considerable amount of magical power.

With this fact alone, Nam Seo-hee was convinced that Baek Ha-na would definitely win.

‘It’s started.’

I could tell that the confrontation had begun by blocking out the sound and starting to move.

Hana Baek rushes right in to close the distance.

A pitch-black wall rose in front of him.

Without hesitation, Hana Baek threw her fist at the wall.

Then, the wall made of shadows distorted like a piece of cloth following Hundred’s fist, and wrapped itself around Hundred’s right hand.

At that moment, a blue glow burst from Baek Ha-na’s hand that was eaten by the shadow.

Yoon Isul’s shadow wriggled violently as if feeling pain, then it fell from Baek Ha-na’s hand and returned to Yun Seul’s side.

“Well… … .”

A short workshop that took place in an instant.

Nam Seo-hee, who confirmed the result, opened her mouth unconsciously.

A black half-glove held in Yun’s hand.

It was one of Baek Woo-jin’s precious gifts that Baek Ha-na cherished next to her life.
