23 – Superintendent (1)

November 17th.

The day dawned when Arena Academy’s practical test began.

Baek Ha-na, who woke up at the usual time, ate breakfast cereal as usual, brushed her teeth, and washed her hair.

And I am sitting in the seat of the empty study and blinking my eyes blankly.

-I have something to do, so don’t be nervous and do well in the test.

When I was happily eating cereal, Baek Woo-jin left the house without saying that.

Originally, I was going to go to the test center with Baek Woo-jin, but Baek Ha-na’s plan was ruined before it even started, and that’s why I’m sitting in a daze now.

If it were others, they would have spent their time surfing the web, broadcasting, or even checking the weak points of the monsters that appeared for the upcoming practical training. I also remembered all of the monster’s weaknesses, so I didn’t need to study separately.

For that reason, Baek Ha-na was spending her own meaningful time sniffing Baek Woo-jin’s scent in the study.

– One hundred!!

-madam… deafness will fall

“… … ?”

Baek Ha-na, who was intoxicated by Baek Woo-jin’s body odor with her enhanced sense of smell, slowly regained her senses at the familiar voices of the two girls.

-what. Are you not in the room?

-Are you out?

The voices of friends looking for you.

Only then did Baek Hana, who regained her senses, shouted.

“I’m in the study.”

And soon after, Maria and Idni opened the door of the study and poked their heads out.

“excuse me… … .”

“Professor, aren’t you there?”

It was Maria who greeted just in case, and Idni who rolled her eyes to confirm Baek Woo-jin’s absence.

“I left early in the morning.”

“phew.”

“Look. Didn’t the bailiff just tell you to go?”

After receiving a hundred and one definite answer, the two entered the study. And once you open your nose, take several deep breaths.

“Sigh… It really calms me down when I come here.”

“It would be a big hit if I made it into perfume or aroma candles.”

Hana Baek narrowed her eyes and glared at Idni.

Just as there are lines to be followed even though they are friends, Baek Woo-jin was the boundary line for Baek Ha-na.

“Ooh, hey. It’s a joke.”

“… … therefore.”

Baekhana still glared at Idni and continued.

“I was supposed to see you at the exam hall, but what happened?”

“Hey, stop staring at me because I was wrong. When you open your eyes like that, you look just like the bailiff, so it gives me goosebumps.”

“Then why do you make me feel bad by saying useless things?”

“Ah!!”

Maria, who was standing next to her, slapped Idni on the back and pushed her aside.

Then, he said to Baek Ha-na, who was weeping at Idni, who was struggling.

“I came because the bailiff said you would be alone.”

“… Claire’s sister?”

When Maria nodded, Baek Ha-na’s expression strangely changed.

“Did your sister go out to work too?”

“no? Executor, you’re still in the temple today. Why?”

“Yes. Nope.”

Only then did Baek Ha-na’s expression regain its usual carefreeness.

“madam… How do you always hit the same place?”

“do not know. Maybe you have a magnet on your back. it’s more than one Is it okay if I don’t prepare for the exam anymore?”

Pushing the whining Idni aside again, Maria asked Baek Ha-na, and Baek Ha-na answered as she got down from the chair in the study.

“yes. I memorized all of the monsters’ weaknesses, and Claire-sister said I just had to do the rest as usual.”

“Look. Is he not nervous?”

“Yes.”

At Edni’s words, Maria shrugged and affirmed.

“So are you.”

“What is that?”

“Because we are apprentice priests and paladins.”

Regardless of the content of the practical test, the two of them had already been determined to pass only by the fact that they could handle the divine power.

Originally, there was no need to take the exam for the two who could not get a scholarship or rank, but for one hundred and one. Also, I took the exam to see what the level of the students entering this time was.

“So, you mean we can play for the next three hours?”

“what. right?”

When Hana Baek nodded, Idney took out a smartphone from her pocket and said with a unique smirk.

“Then it is one. Let’s do this together.”

“The game is different… … .”

“Ah, let’s do it together. Me and Maria got permission yesterday and started.”

“… … What is it?”

Baek Ha-na, who had no interest in games, slowly read aloud the large letters that appeared on Idney’s smartphone.

“The Guild?”

It was a game managed by Yoo Hee-shin Vuar.

[Arena Academy Auditorium]

– Double check that the hitbox is working properly!

-A new magic crystal, please.

-Confirmed normal operation of summoners 5-13.

Each academy has different admission rules, but most do not have an age limit. It was the same with Arena Academy.

Awakening comes regardless of age, so anyone who is confident in their skills, is an adult, and has not passed 5 years since awakening could take the exam.

For that reason, the academies of each country had to move busily during the winter when they were preparing for the end of the year.

Also, Kang Han Na, who had high grades but did not receive an offer to the guild she wanted, and became a teaching assistant after being recommended by a professor specializing in Ganghwa in a fit of anger, was also very busy.

“uh… … 511 people… right… … Flowchart… That’s right… .”

The order was also important as the test was conducted over three days.

This is because there are also awakened people who want to come from the provinces or abroad.

Strictly determined order.

If this turn is twisted at least once in a while, a very annoying and terrible thing will happen. It’s just that the evaluation is mixed up.

Of course, it goes through one more confirmation process before the test, but sometimes there are awakened people who are so nervous that they just answer ‘yes!’, so it was necessary to check thoroughly.

‘I should have just entered the appropriate guild.’

Kang Han Na sincerely regretted it.

He didn’t know that he, a Ganghwa Awakener, would only tinker with documents and papers for four years.

I wanted to beat him right away, but I was holding on because I could apply for an assistant professor if I endured for two more years.

‘… … I even got help with my thesis.’

Pampering is really pampering like a dog, but very, very occasionally, they gave a helping hand, and they don’t skip money and put it in their bank account, so I have no choice but to endure it with evil.

– Beep.

[ AM 09:13 ]

The test starts at 1:00 PM.

If I skipped lunch, I could sleep for about 3 hours.

“Ugh.”

Kang Han-na lay down on the sofa, listening to the sounds of people and machines coming through the door as a lullaby.

“… … alarm.”

If you don’t go out, someone will come to wake you up, but it’s such a nuisance that an alarm is definitely needed.

– Beep.

As soon as the time was set, her arm fell weakly onto the sofa.

Consciousness gradually drifting away.

Her consciousness, which was to sink to the deep surface soon.

click-

I had to come back to reality at the sound of a small sound coming from behind me.

Kang Han Na raised her heavy eyelids and stood up.

Then he turned his head toward the entrance of the Office of the General Superintendent.

A middle-aged man with a moderately reliable body and an upright impression.

It was Kim Kyung-ho, who was an awakened person in the Ganghwa system and was in charge of the actual fighting class.

“Hmm. I’m resting, I’m sorry.”

“… it’s okay. What else do you want me to do?”

At the same time, he was also a professor who treated Kang Han-na like a dog.

Kim Kyung-ho carefully closed the door and approached Kang Han-na. Then he took out a piece of paper from his pocket and held it out to her.

“… … ?”

“Read it.”

Strangely, she had a strong feeling that she shouldn’t have received it, but unfortunately, there was no choice, so she had to accept and read the document that Kim Kyung-ho gave her.

“It’s a profile.”

“yes.”

It was the profile of a fresh young man who had just become an adult.

Starting with a picture of your face, your awakened abilities, and more.

“… … professor.”

“Kuhm.”

Kang Han Na, who has been quick-witted since childhood, realized what the professor in front of her had in mind for handing over this document to her.

“It is not very difficult… All other professors have done it at least once.”

“Then, shouldn’t the professor directly supervise it? To be honest, it’s strange that I, a teaching assistant, evaluate the kids.”

“Hey. Where are you just a teaching assistant? Aren’t they the elite who occupy the upper ranks among the kids called the golden generation?”

“I still can’t. I’ll pretend I haven’t seen this.”

Kang Han-na very resolutely held out the profile in her hand to Kim Kyung-ho.

However, Kim Kyung-ho did not accept the profile Kang Han-na offered and said with a straight face.

“Now that you’ve seen this, know that you’ve got your feet crossed too.”

“What is that… .”

“I am strong. You’d better think carefully. It’s a simple job where you just have to fill in the numbers, but you refuse to do it? If you do this, I will push you hard next year.”

“under… … .”

Kang Han-na wanted to get up right away, but couldn’t.

Even if you give a little generous evaluation with harsh words, no one will notice, and it is not that you can pass with just that alone.

More than anything else, the desire to get out of this beggarly routine was the biggest reason that made her hesitate.

However, what he hesitates about is that he suddenly handed over the supervisor position, which he had been doing well so far, to himself.

And it was an exquisite request.

It was blatantly obvious that even if anyone wanted to know, it was impossible not to know that it was a work to put the blame on themselves if things went wrong.

‘under… … driving me crazy.’

If I drew a line saying I wouldn’t do it again, I might be dragged into a crack somewhere and dealt with in order to keep my silence.

“Hey. It’s Hannah.”

“… … .”

Kang Han-na bit her lip because Kim Kyung-ho was quietly applying pressure.

‘… … Shit.’

No matter how you think about it, this wasn’t it.

More than anyone else, she took pride in being a graduate of Arena Academy. But to ruin the academy with your own hands?

Of course, if you listen to the story of Kim Kyung-ho standing in front of you, it seems that this has often happened for quite some time.

‘yes… Let’s just beat it.’

Kang Han Na, who has accumulated a lot of things, is about to throw the profile in her hand to the floor with the intention of pouring out everything through this opportunity.

Swoop.

The document in Kang Han Na’s hand left her hand as naturally as flowing water.

It flew sideways through the air as if caught by an invisible hand.

Kang Han-na and Kim Kyung-ho’s eyes naturally headed there.

The two were surprised in a different way.

Untidy messy black hair.

Opaque glasses that covered half of the face.

Tall enough to have to look up quite a bit.

“uh……?”

I couldn’t find the slightest trace of it, so I had no choice but to forget it.

The man who had saved him from the maze had the document in his hand.

man. Baek Woo-jin said quietly, holding out the document in his hand to Kim Seong-won, who was standing next to him.

“The professors seem to be dissatisfied with their salaries.”

A small drop of sweat ran down Kim Seong-won’s coolly bald head.
