91 – special evaluation (5)

Swoop.

The swamp-like floor has returned to its original form.

“What happened?”

Myungho Park, a prospective alchemist, scratched his head.

Baek Ha-na, who had come all the way here, suddenly attacked Na Joo-hee, and then immediately knocked out Lim Kyung-soo and one other person. And those three who fainted were sucked under the floor and disappeared.

“You do whatever you want.”

Baek Ha-na, who had organized the team, said that as she passed by Park Myeong-ho, who was standing alone.

“Even if I don’t say it, I think so.”

Park Myeong-ho shrugged his shoulders and, as if nothing had happened, calmly turned around and began to look around the shelter.

Baek Ha-na turned her head for a moment to watch Park Myung-ho, then walked back to the sofa where the two friends were waiting.

“Ha, is it one?”

Lee Na-young, who had been waiting quietly on the sofa, wiggled her fingers and cautiously opened her mouth.

“That, that’s okay, that’s fine… … Will?”

“It’s fine.”

Baek Ha-na sat down on the armrest of the sofa and answered.

“If you tell me that you’ve been caught in a mental trap, you’ll do anything.”

“Yes, yes, yes… … ?”

Lee Na-young nodded her head while putting on a questioning expression, “Is this really happening?”

“I’ll match you too.”

Nam Seo-hee thought it was time and quickly intervened.

-Uh, I’ll do the same in moderation.

Park Myeong-ho, who was examining the bookshelf, responded with his back showing.

“then… … .”

After taking a short break, Hana Baek came down from the sofa. Nam Seo-hee, who was sitting next to him and carefully touching his wagging tail, said with a very sad face.

“Are you going?”

“… … I just want to see your face for a moment.”

“yes. I’ll be in charge here.”

“thanks.”

Lee Na-young, who was quietly listening to the conversation between Baek Ha-na and Nam Seo-hee, cautiously asked.

“Is there anything I can do to help?”

“It’s fine. It’s not like I’m going to fight. I’ll be back soon, so Nayoung, you’re looking around here too. When I come back, Seohee and I go to collect ingredients. You should get points too.”

“Yes. Okay.”

Lee Na-young quickly got up from her seat and ran toward the bookshelf Park Myung-ho was examining. Baek Ha-na scratched her head at the sight of Lee Na-young.

“If you want to go, tell me… .”

“One of a kind, but he looked at you a lot.”

“… Am I still having a hard time?”

“It won’t look like that.”

“… … yes?”

“yes.”

Nam Seo-hee could feel that Lee Na-young, like herself, was careful with her actions to appear even a little better to Baek Ha-na.

“So go.”

“… I’ll be back soon.”

Hana Baek left Nam Seo-hee behind and approached the door leading to the deepest part. Then, after taking a deep breath, I opened the door.

Woo woo woo-

A chilling wind, unknown from where it came from, brushed Baek Ha-na’s cheeks. Baek Ha-na stepped on the red carpet that was laid out as if welcoming, and walked down the hallway filled with a completely different atmosphere.

Tak, tadak, tadadak-!!

Baek Ha-na’s steps gradually accelerated at the thought that she would be able to see the face of the person she longed to see soon. The quickened pace eventually turned into a run, and one hundred began to run through the hallway filled with bleakness.

Woowook-!!

Every time one hundred passed by, the flame of the candlestick hanging on the wall flickered dangerously. The speed of one hundred and one stopped only when the huge door at the end of the long corridor was in front of them. No, I had to stop.

huge door.

The white silver armor stood in front of it as if to protect it.

“under… … .”

A sigh, close to a sigh, flowed from Hundred’s lips.

Baek Ha-na smiled bitterly at the knight who was standing there like a stone statue. And I was relieved.

The fact that no one, including myself, will be able to reach the deepest… … .

**

– Beep?!

As Hana Baek fell to the floor, the little rascal who was watching from the side jumped up and patted my arm. I ignored it lightly and looked around the images being projected with the power of Vuir.

‘It’s over.’

At the beginning, more than half of the students were eliminated by the faculty I put in. After that, it was reduced to half again by traps and monsters designed by Jaden and Yoon Do-shik.

‘They were more nasty than I thought.’

Pesky traps and monsters were placed in each room for students who wanted to take a shortcut without tasting the fruits of their sleep.

The funny thing is that even if you go around for a long time without taking a shortcut, traps of the same level are placed.

Instead, the former was almost impossible to destroy unless it was for students with high-level skills like Hana Baek, and in the case of the latter, it was possible to destroy without harming anyone even if it took a little time if each person faithfully performed his or her role.

-Pun?!

The gatekeeper who protects me.

Baekhana, who had been hit in the abdomen by Claire’s knee, rose into the air and hit the ceiling hard before falling to the floor.

Baekhana, who had repeatedly tried to get up after falling down, was completely stretched out.

After confirming that Baek Ha-na was eliminated, I grabbed the walkie-talkie that was on the table and gave an order.

“Get it sorted out.”

The professors, who were spending time in the first room, slammed the door open and started running down the hallway. From now on, I will hunt down the scattered students one by one.

Awesome profit-

The huge door opened, and Claire, clad in silver armor, entered holding the fainted Baek Ha-na.

– Beep!!

The fairy standing at the table moved her wings and flew towards Baek Ha-na.

-Pun?!

Of course, I was caught by the thread of magical power I tied and fell headlong.

“Leave it down and organize the remaining guys in the room as well.”

“… … Yes.”

I carefully placed the bag in my arms on my lap and quietly left the room.

‘I meant to put it on the floor… … .’

disheveled hair and swollen cheeks. And a dirty school uniform.

I could have sorted it all out with one touch, but I didn’t. In order to rectify what Baek Ha-na did unexpectedly before coming here, being moved to the waiting room as she is now would add credibility to the excuse she made up.

For that reason, I carefully lowered the bag on the floor.

-Beep… … .

The fairy looked at Baek Ha-na, who had passed out, with a worried face and pulled my sleeve. Maybe it’s an action that means to ask for something.

Swoop.

– Beep?!

Just like Kang Han Na, who was the only one who was defeated among other students and professors, Baek Hana also began to seep under the floor and disappeared completely shortly after.

I looked at the cracks that were quickly being cleaned up as I fed the chocolate into the mouth of the fairy who was cheeping loudly.

‘It’s not the result I was hoping for… … .’

The picture I had in mind was a group of students, centered on Baek Ha-na, conducting a raid against Claire.

Limited ability and fixed stamina.

Through this, I thought to show the importance of composition and the need to join forces with people who are hostile when necessary. However, as Hana Baek eliminated Na Joo-hee, my intentions came to an end before they even started.

The reason why we didn’t set a specific time for this test in the first place was also to show that there are cracks that can be attacked only when a certain number of people are met.

[ (｀∀´)Ψ Thanks to the hint I put in, the students destroyed themselves!! My ball is the biggest!! ]

I ignored the sentence that appeared on one screen and relayed it using the radio in my hand.

“Let everyone return.”

So I declared the end of the exam to the professors.

**

… … Two days had passed since the grade evaluation was over.

It takes about two weeks for the comprehensive results to come out, so the top and bottom seats will be announced only during the vacation week.

In addition, it was confirmed that Hana Baek’s unexpected behavior went well by saying that she was caught in a hallucination-type trap.

Among the freshmen who came out of the last exam, there is a heated debate about whether the final exam, which was surprisingly well implemented, is a real crack.

Not only the first year students, but also the professors who helped with the exam at the time and those who watched the video sent by Vuir for evaluation did not differ in their reactions.

“therefore… … .”

The deepest part of the rift I created.

Sean Connery, who was sitting across from him, asked with a haggard face.

“What must I do… . please, please let me know soon… … . I’ll do anything… … !!”

Perhaps Jaden had relayed my warning correctly, and from that day until I summoned him to this place today, he had been locked away in Jaden’s lab. Thanks to that, his madness is updating to its maximum level in seconds.

Even the two of them, who came with their student Jaden, are investigating the crack with Yoon Do-shik, so they will be even more impatient.

“Take it.”

I threw a small notepad from my arms to the guy.

He snatched it at once and quickly began to scan the contents inside.

“Until we contact you, you only have to do what is written on the first page.”

Read at noblemtl.com

Quite a lot is written in the first chapter, but there is one key point.

Wrapping all my achievements now in the name of the Clock Tower.

Even the content used in the first lecture, including this crack used as the stage for the test in this evaluation, is to be announced as an artificial structure implemented by the Clock Tower.

“Is this all I need to do?”

“one more.”

I said to the guy who started biting white foam at the corners of his mouth.

“If a group of people trying to make contact come in contact with a request related to the rift or a story about successful control of the rift, report it to me.”

“Look, look, look, just do it… ?”

“yes. You just have to let me know.”

“Okay… I see… … !! Be sure to report!!”

He glared at me with bloodshot eyes and swallowed.

“It’s a day.”

“Oh, oh oh—!!”

Satisfied, he screamed like a beast and ran out of the room.

‘All that remains is to wait again.’

All actions that could be taken in the current situation were taken.

Although the development was twisted little by little and there were large and small variables, all of them were within the scope of being able to be resolved, and they were corrected so that there were no disruptions to the actual plan.

‘That too is over now.’

Up until now, all of the incidents had occurred within the academy, and since the elements and characters were accurately identified, there was no great difficulty in handling them. But starting next year, it was difficult for me to predict how things would change.

If it is the original flow, I will completely disappear next year, and the barrier that protected the academy will also disappear. As a result, outside forces permeate inside the academy, and the story becomes serious in earnest.

To take one of the fastest-growing incidents, there is an incident where a dark force openly sacrifices students inside the academy.

‘It must mean that all of that can happen outside now.’

Just as I am now breathing, who should have been extinct, the barriers protecting the academy will also be strong.

‘… It wasn’t intentional, but I guess I solved that part too.’

Starting in the second year, outside practice is very frequent. That’s why I had to pay more attention to Baek Ha-na’s safety. Originally, this was something I should have asked Claire for, but luckily, I was able to get a good hand that could replace her.

-Chwaaa!!

As I approached the front door of the mansion, I heard the sound of water gushing from the yard. Instead of going straight through the front door, I turned the corner and headed for the yard.

-Chwaaak!!

-Pirrr

above the lawn.

A stream of water falling in a graceful curve on the wide open blue vinyl. And a little rascal playing around on the vinyl, splashing his limbs.

Claire was pulling a hose through the window of her study and cleaning the plastic in the pool she had used several times.

-Purrure~!!

“Hmmm.”

Claire diligently captures the image of a fairy making strange noises with her face in the splashing water on her smartphone.

I watched them for a moment and then quietly turned around.

eighth summer.

‘It would be more convenient for me to leave the house.’

The most embarrassing season was approaching not too far away.
