5 – Dalian (1)

Dalian schedule is in the afternoon.

In the morning, classes are held at the principal.

The total number of first-year students at Daehan Academy is 60.

Rankings are assigned to each player, but they are not divided into halves based on skill.

as much as that.

The principal is large enough to accommodate all 60 students.

The desks were arranged in a cascading fashion so that students in the back seat could see the church clearly.

I was sitting in the highest back seat.

Originally, Lee Hyun-seong’s regular spot.

“This is the explanation of the Awakening Stone. Now then, before we move on to the next…”

in a solemn atmosphere.

Along with the sound of shoes echoing from the church, only the voice of the professor giving the lecture fills the principal.

“At this point, let’s make sure you’re listening to the class.”

The professor looked around at the students.

It is a formal gesture.

The object to be questioned is determined.

“Student Lee Hyun-seong.”

My eyes met with the professor.

Then it is.

“Should you list the colors, types, and cost of Awakening Stones?”

It wasn’t a difficult question.

Even if you haven’t taken the class, if you aim to become an explorer, it’s common sense among common sense that you can’t miss.

“Yes. They are red, orange and green in descending order from the first grade, and the only grade 5 cost. Legendary 3 cost. Hero class 2 cost. Rare, normal 1 cost.”

He answered without hesitation.

“Yes, that’s right. So let me ask you one more question. There are very few seekers who choose the first class even though they have 5 cost. Can you explain why?”

The professor added a question.

I was also able to answer this straight away without hesitation.

“Because it is more efficient to mix multiple jobs than one job. In addition, the reason is that it is impossible to determine whether the first grade is a good job or a poor job because there is no prior information.”

The Awakening Stones given to new students by the academy are not only legendary.

I’m just recommending the legendary level.

You can even get a single class if you want.

Although there are a total of 5 unique gems in the academy.

Students who choose the only class are asked whether or not to come out once every five years.

As I said earlier.

Because you can’t know in advance whether it’s a win or a win.

Who would gamble with their lives?

“That is correct. These days, he doesn’t fall asleep and is doing well in class, so I feel very proud as a professor.”

The professor smiled brightly.

To be honest, the level of the problem was low.

A question so simple that anyone, even if it wasn’t me, could answer it.

However, if it wasn’t the current me, but Lee Hyun-seong, I wouldn’t have been able to answer.

After waking up from a nap,

It’s clear to see how he looked like a parent.

“ruler. Student Lee Hyeon-seong also concentrates on class like this, but those who are asleep think it’s embarrassing. I will continue class.”

Stunned by those words, a few students rubbed their eyes and came to their senses.

Some of the students turned around and looked at me with curious eyes.

Yuna was one of them.

A heroine who sits right next to the main character, Kim Soo-han.

The original Lee Hyun-sung was a childhood friend.

And Lee Hyun-sung confessed and got dumped.

‘Ehh. It’s not like I have to apply for it all the time, but I’m going to confess all of them.’

in shame.

I quickly withdrew my gaze and focused on the class.

while doing so

“Five. what is lee hyun sung Why are you taking classes so well these days?”

The narrow-eyed student sitting next to me giggled in a small voice and stabbed my side.

Rajeyoung.

Currently my only friend.

‘Although it’s more accurate to call them drinking buddies.’

He’s the culprit of a terrorist organization.

He is a traitor who plans to sell me out in the future.

At this point, it is not clear whether there is any connection to the terrorist group, so the best alternative was to distance without taking any action.

“Hey. Aren’t you going to drink today? There is a newly opened place, and the atmosphere is dead. How about Cole?”

“Because I hung up.”

“Oh baby. The level of bouncing these days is that of a belly dancer. I’m going to call the girls I know, but are they really not coming?”

“sorry. The woman also hung up.”

Rajeyoung sighed with the sound of air escaping from her mouth.

“I live and see Lee Hyun-sung refuse to drink with a woman. Okay then take someone else. Do not regret it.”

what is regret

Rather, I would regret it if I continued hanging out with you.

‘If I’ve done this much, I won’t talk to you from now on, even if I’m tired.’

Since the day I was possessed, I have been refusing to go out for a drink, so I’m getting farther and farther away.

Everything is going according to plan.

Rajeyoung didn’t speak to me again as if she was upset.

Class continued.

By the time there was still an hour left until lunchtime.

“Okay, let’s end the lesson here! And originally, Dalian was scheduled to start in the afternoon, but…”

The professor tightly closed the book, drawing attention.

“The three teams will go ahead before lunch. Let’s all move.”

Students were agitated in an unexpected situation.

It was only natural that he had planned to use his lunch break to prepare for Dalian.

Please, you’re desperately hoping that you’re not included among those three teams.

I wasn’t too upset.

As a reader who has read novels, this is the flow I knew.

I know all three teams that are conducting morning sparring.

Cha Yu-ra is the heroine and is ranked second in the grade.

3rd place Baek So-ah.

The first confrontation between two friends and rivals.

Kim Soo-han, who is the main character and ranked number one.

The reason why she is a heroine and is ranked 5th.

The second match between the two.

The third Dalian.

It was Baek Chi-yeol in 59th place and me in the last place in 60th place.

This order has one meaning.

It is a matchup intended by the writer for comparison between me and Kim Soo-han.

I am the only summoner, but Kim Soo-han is a legendary summoner.

Even the gap between the 60th and 1st place in the rankings is enough to be selected as a comparison target.

That’s what you call a main character.

I’m a similar role as a consumable to bring the main character to light.

In its current state, it will of course be compared to the original, but at least it won’t be a laughing matter.

Because I intend to twist the flow of fate and win in Dalian.

***

A huge dome reminiscent of a fighting arena.

In the center is a sparring field blocked by iron bars.

For reference, that barbed wire is an artifact.

As a safety device, it is endowed with the effect of preventing the instant death of life inside.

‘It’ll be my turn soon.’

The first match between Cha Yoo-ra and Baek So-ah ended in a draw.

Cha Yoo-ra is excellent in basic skills, but the match was not good, so we couldn’t win.

Cha Yu-ra’s main job is the ruler of ice.

Baek So-ah’s main job is the ruler of fire.

Cha Yoo-ra, who finished in a draw despite such atrocious compatibility, is amazing.

On the contrary, Baek So-ah made a face of resentment at the fact that he did not win even though it was an advantageous match.

‘It must be heartbreaking to have a draw even though we pushed each other with good luck. Baek So-ah is always jealous of Cha Yoo-ra.’

As I watched them as if I were watching a novel, I suddenly realized that I was really possessed by the world in the novel.

‘Is this the life of a successful reader?’

I smiled and watched the next match between Kim Soo-han and Lee Yu-na.

Lee Yu-na’s main job is a judge of light.

It is a job that specializes in subjugating monsters.

Because I can’t use my abilities against humans.

I used the skill of a paladin, one of the sub-classes.

Lee Yu-na wielded a white sword and tried to attack her vigorously, but Kim Soo-han, who had a sub job called Guardian of the Sun, effortlessly blocked all attacks.

Kim Soo-han then used his main job skill.

Legendary class, new beast summoner.

The white tiger he summoned swiftly and mercilessly grabbed Lee Yu-na’s torso.

“Kyaaagh!”

The white tiger’s teeth dug into Lee Yu-na’s stomach.

It is like the owner of a cold-hearted personality who does not look at women as heroines.

Once bitten by the spirit beast, the white tiger, there is no way to escape.

Unfortunately, the winner has already been decided.

The main character is Munchkin.

“Surrender. the reason.”

Kim Soo-han lowered his voice with his characteristic nonchalant expression.

When I saw it as a novel, it looked cool.

It’s kind of bad looking actually.

“Ha, surrender…”

Lee Yu-na gave up Dalian.

Kim Soo-han’s victory was decided by the instructor’s declaration.

“Dalian end! victor. Kim Soo-han!”

After the healers rushed in and treated Lee Yu-na’s wounds.

Kim Soo-han, still with a nonchalant expression, supported Lee Yu-na and took her out of the arena.

“Next, we will proceed with the 25-article sparring. Come in front of Baek Chi-yeol and Lee Hyun-seong.”

The instructor called us by name in an overbearing tone.

Just like a UFC fighter on the field.

Baek Chi-yeol and I moved toward the training ground from opposite directions.

while I was entering

I took out my encyclopedia and summoned Kkaebi.

─Kei!

It’s not a Pokemon match, and the opponent doesn’t kindly wait until you summon a summoned beast. Of course, you have to come in advance.

Plus.

He doesn’t even leave the summoner standing behind the summoner.

So, most people whose main job is a summoner choose a job that specializes in defense as a sub job.

But I couldn’t do that.

Because the only class job eats up 5 cost.

There were many disadvantages to having only one summoner job.

“what. What is Hyunseong Lee? You didn’t go to the bathroom today.”

“You should have been concerned about that too. Does it make sense that my stomach hurts every day in Dalian?”

“The excuses were banal. Wouldn’t it be better if we threw away a bit of consistency and tried to look around in a variety of ways? Instructor doesn’t want to see you anymore.”

“Watching him fight. Isn’t it the first time since the ranking match before admission?”

I could hear other students whispering.

After overhearing, the words that follow are, of course, mostly gossip.

Let’s ignore it.

You just have to listen in one ear and let it out in the other.

“But what kind of monster is that? Wasn’t Lee Hyun-seong originally a dwarf summoner?”

“I’m not a dwarf summoner, I’m a monster summoner…”

“I can only summon dwarves, but that’s it. Oh isn’t it now? When did you sign a contract with a monster like that?”

“That goblin-like kid is very cute. Much better than a dwarf.”

“Do you use a baseball bat as a weapon? It’s unique.”

Now, the interest is biased toward the kkaebi.

Thanks to that, my gossip has significantly decreased.

When I entered the arena like that, I was blown away. The door to the iron window locked with a sound.

“Stop procrastinating and get to your positions quickly.”

We stood facing each other with the command of the instructor in charge of refereeing.

My gaze crosses with Baek Chi-yeol, my opponent in Dalian.

Baek Chi-yeol looked at Kae-bi and made a slightly embarrassed expression, then looked at me again and showed a bad smile.

‘Looking at it, I’m thinking of ignoring Kkaebi and running towards me. It’s all obvious from the expression.’

Currently, my Leadership has risen from 5 to 6.

It was thanks to the fact that each dwarf’s encyclopedia effect increased leadership by 1.

So, the original strategy was to put a 2.5-star Kkaebi at the forefront, and place three 1-star dwarfs created from fragments yesterday as escorts.

But it’s an operation that is no longer needed.

“Dalian time is 10 minutes. If either side is judged unable to fight or declares surrender, sparring ends immediately. If there is no decision before then, it is a draw. And while it’s not against the rules of sparring, try to avoid hitting the head if possible.”

Beep-!

At the same time as the whistle sounded to announce the start of the match, he quickly possessed the body of a kkaebi without a chance to allow the first attack.

OK.

Baek Chi-yeol’s face, which had been wearing a fishy smile, distorted in an instant.
