4 – Exam after the entrance ceremony (2)

“There are definitely a lot of excellent people this year.”

The president’s office located on the top floor of the academy.

A 55-inch monitor illuminates the class assignment test site.

“I thought there would be no one with the correct answer in the opening exam, but to find out that there are two cadets with good spirits….”

Lee Jin-chang, an executive of the Association, said while looking at the screen.

“Both of them are warmly handsome. In particular, the girls must have received a lot of confessions during their military academy days. Are they both Choi Ji-sung? The signs are good and the mood is good.”

“What makes you feel good?”

Academy president Kang Yoo-han responded with an amused look, sucking up the pack milk through a straw.

He had the appearance of a boy, befitting his nickname of ‘an adult who never ages’.

“Doesn’t it seem like they got the answer right because they’re in good spirits?”

“Isn’t it?”

“No.”

“How do you do that… ?”

“If you look at it, it is Chuck. Take a good look.”

Kang Yoo-han put the milk on the table and ran his fingers in the air.

Then, the remote control on her desk automatically pressed and operated the monitor.

From noble mtl dot com

“If you go back 30 seconds, you will get a hint.”

At his manipulation, the monitor screen enlarged and then rewinded back 30 seconds.

The screen was reflecting Mo Yeji’s face.

“Can you see the girl frowning?”

“Uh… Is it your ability?”

“Yes.”

“Is it an ability that raises the mood?”

“No. It is a different ability.”

Kang Yoo-han gestured.

Then the tablet on the desk came to mind and fell into Kang Yuhan’s hand.

A tablet containing profile information of cadets.

“Let’s see… Cadet Moyeji… Oh my, such an ability. With this skill, I get the answer right in the bonus test.”

The opening test is a test designed to give extra points to those with special abilities.

So it’s normal to not be able to match.

It’s impossible to figure out the correct answer at the cadet level.

“What ability is it?”

“Hey, don’t you know that cadet information is secret?”

Kang Yoo-han burst out laughing.

“What a shame….”

Jinchang Lee became embarrassed and scratched the back of her head.

“Then is that boy also capable?”

“No.”

“As expected, he’s in a bad mood, isn’t he?”

Kang Yoo-han gestured to the air again.

With his gestures, the remote control screen was automatically operated and the monitor screen moved.

“Can you see the boy’s face?”

“Uh… that.”

“Yes, he was just observing the girl and moving along.”

“It was not a feeling, but a good sense. No, I’m just lucky…. Too bad.”

Lee Jin-chang licked his lips in regret.

“In the end, there are no children to be raised as in-depth units or special operations units. We need talented people….”

“Still, it’s better to have good eyes than to have good spirits.”

“What is that… ?”

“I lived 150 years.”

Kang Yoo-han sipped the milk on the table and said.

“Once I got older, I thought I would understand.”

“What do you mean?”

“A good person dies quickly.”

“… ….”

“Even if you have good skills, what can you do, if you die? A person should have better eyesight than ability. At least if you’re smart, you won’t be killed by a dog. In that respect, that boy is 100 points.”

He is currently the only survivor of the Outbound Crisis that took place over 150 years ago.

That’s why some people call him the ‘immortal saint’.

“… Great.”

Lee Jin-chang evoked the dark atmosphere by clearing his throat.

“Anyway, President. You mean there is no one who looks like a demon yet?”

“Not yet. If you find out, call the Association right away.”

“Thank you.”

… Since then, she has gone through several more tests from one location to another.

According to the setting of the Academy as a state-of-the-art engineering center, the score calculation is also state-of-the-art.

I was moving while being conscious of the tiny drones and cameras floating in the air.

Wow.

This test is a test of coordination, self-control, and coping skills.

It looks grandiose, but it’s actually a simple test.

It’s like finding a maze, finding a way and reaching your destination.

Kwakwang!

In the process, a trap like a hologram comes out and checks the cadet’s response.

A point is deducted for attacking a hologram civilian, and a point is deducted for stiffening up after seeing a hologram monster.

… A little while ago, a small firecracker had exploded under my feet.

I was almost surprised.

Even if you know it, it’s difficult to react consciously.

It’s easy to predict because he follows Mo Yeji around.

Because she has the ability to see the future.

“… ….”

About 20 minutes have passed since the maze search test started.

You don’t even have to follow her around as she slowly comes near her destination.

Should we keep our distance now?

While I was thinking that, Yeji Mo, who was walking in front of me, suddenly turned her body around.

“Hey.”

When I saw her face up close, it was really pretty.

Her silvery hair that shines bright makes her look like her angel.

“… Hey?”

“Oh, why?”

I was stunned and my reaction was slow.

“… Half words?”

“You’re the same freshman.”

“… ….”

She seems dissatisfied with my attitude.

Well, I bet you’ve never seen someone my age act as brazenly as I did.

But as you get older, you become strangely impudent.

I don’t even know how to be shy….

“Ha ha.”

She wrinkled her brow and let out a deep sigh.

“Since a while ago, you have been following me. Why are you following me? Yes?”

It’s not that, from the instructor exam until now, I’ve been sharing her benefits.

It’s the same with this test.

“… Hey? Answer.”

However, I cannot tell the truth.

Because micro drones and cameras are still moving.

“I didn’t follow you.”

“… ….”

“I didn’t follow you… yo. This.”

My eyes were so bloody that I said respectful words without even realizing it.

A pretty face has a strange magical power that makes people move.

“Don’t lie.”

“I’m not lying… yo. This.”

“Ha ha, really.”

She tousled her silver hair and said softly.

“Good. Then go first.”

I shrugged.

If you look at the time, the destination is just around the corner, so you’re going to make a concession?

“… Is it really okay?”

I am also a person with a conscience.

“You can do that. And don’t talk nonsense.”

“Well, then… without reservation.”

I walked past her.

Moyeji waited for a long time until the distance between me and me widened, and then set off belatedly.

It seems he was conscious of me following him around again.

And….

Unsurprisingly, the goal came after a while.

[Arrival to destination completed.]

[Record the ranking.]

[1St place, 23 minutes, 22 seconds, Cadet Ymir]

[1,000 Time Points]

[921 Action points]

Wow… 1St place on this

I was satisfied with the second place in terms of conscience, but it went well.

“Uh… !”

Mo Ye-ji, who belatedly realized the situation, was shouting behind her.

“No, what… !”

If you’re surprised before that arrives, you’ll get a deduction.

* * *

The test of co-ordination and response is also over.

“Everyone did a great job.”

Now there is only one final test left.

“There will be people who did well on the test, and there will be people who don’t. Judging by the expressions on their faces, most of them must have failed the test more than I thought. Kuck.”

Instructor Park Dae-sik said.

“But don’t worry too much. If I didn’t score enough, I’d be able to turn around with the last test.”

He laughed heartily and thumped his palms with his fists.

“The last test is the combat practice test. It’s by far the best test among class placement tests designed to properly grasp your strength. The competition test will be conducted on a one-on-one basis at the Daejeon Practice Principal, and each opponent will be automatically matched by the academy’s state-of-the-art evaluation AI system. However….”

Park Dae-shik stopped talking and stroked his chin.

“Looking around, I can’t see a single person.”

The number of freshmen is over 300.

If you look at the number of people just by glancing at them, a hero is indeed a hero.

“Who didn’t come… wait for a sec.”

He took out his tablet and was about to check his log when he heard heavy breathing behind him.

“Hey heck… Agogogo. It’s hard….”

A girl with flaming red hair.

A battered girl was just reaching her destination, gasping for breath.

“Ahhh… Last.”

She was Ko Soo-young.

“You’re late.”

“I’m sorry. That is….”

“All right. Join the ranks.”

“Yup!”

She was acting the same as she was 15 years ago.

Because of the opening exam, the instructor exam, I just woke up after falling asleep… I chose the weakest-looking instructor and received the lowest score, and in this test, the attribute of gilchi worked as it was, so I came in last place.

Things like this are still going the way they were 15 years ago, even if there is a variable called ‘me’.

I hope that the brackets are written exactly as they were 15 years ago.

Fifteen years ago, I faced a weak cadet named Kim Chun-sam.

“Okay, then the explanation ends here. Daejeon will continue after lunch. Check the bracket first.”

As Park Dae-sik clapped his hands, a hologram appeared like a blackboard and created a match table.

I warmed up and checked my opponent.

“Uh.”

My opponent was Choi Ji-seong.
