5 – Entrance Exam

The day of the Academy Entrance Exam.

‘It’s finally going..’

I was baptized with Adela’s worries, but I couldn’t sleep well. ..

Fortunately,

Adela said something happened, and because she returned to the royal family earlier, on the day she departed, she was able to get into the carriage comfortably.

‘By the way, a carriage…’

I don’t understand why you’re still riding a wagon with so much mana.

Kikki-

When I get on the carriage, what I see is Seong Jin-ha, who is expressionless as always.

‘It was burned first.’

“… Bye.”

“…Uh hello.”

…A blunt guy

To be honest, I’ve been thinking a lot about how to treat this guy for a while.

As the main character of the novel,

A certain degree of closeness must be formed as a matter of necessity.

… For now, I decided to approach with a sense of distance, about the same as a classmate.

“Hey, but we’re entering school together, so wouldn’t it be nice if we were a little more friendly?”

“Uh… Yes.”

“…”

Let me not speak.

Maybe there was a misunderstanding when I first saw her, or maybe it was because she was the teacher’s younger sister,

She seemed strangely difficult with me, so I tried to get closer to her on purpose…

Still, there’s something about not saying honorifics like when I first saw you.

‘I still have a long way to go…’

With the sound of the butler’s departure, the carriage started,

At the same time, she closed her eyes as if she was going to go to bed.

It takes about two hours to arrive at the academy.

‘Originally, it’s national rule to go out while chatting…’

-Sueuk.

That’s it.

Even if you flirt too much, it will only look light.

I opened the window slightly.

It wasn’t that high of a speed, so a moderately pleasant breeze tickled her hair.

‘School…’

I never thought I’d be going to school again at this age..

‘It was really fun going to internet cafes with the kids…’

I looked at the scenery and closed the window.

‘I don’t know. I should just go to sleep..’

**

Sung Jin-ha slightly opened his closed eyes.

The man in front of you.

Adela’s hidden sister.

Somewhere, I think about a man looking out the window with longing eyes.

‘What the hell…’

It was still too much to believe in these races other than the queen and teacher.

It wasn’t enough that he was suddenly kidnapped to another dimension and turned into a vampire.

Suddenly, he has to enter an unidentified educational institution called the academy.

I was confused.

A message from the teacher asking him to be friendly with his younger brother.

He seems like a decent guy, but there are too many questionable parts.

‘I’ll have to wait and see for now…’

Sung Jin-ha quietly closed his eyes again.

**

“Please present your ID.”

A checkpoint in Merhem, an allied nation.

The largest and most developed city located in the center of all race-states,

The huge walls surrounding Merhem caught my eye.

‘And…’

Looking at it like this, it feels a little more real that I fell into a fantasy world.

I got off the wagon and handed my ID to a male employee wearing glasses.

“Wait a minute.”

-Tirik

Let’s put the ID into the round box where the blue laser comes out.

Personal information such as my name, race, and place of residence appears on the electronic display board.

‘…Looking at it this way, it doesn’t seem like a fantasy again.’

“Yes, Martina di Rai’s identity has been confirmed. Did you bring anything else?”

“No.”

“Yes, then you can go left and enter the front.”

‘..It looks like you’re at the airport.’

Let’s enter Merhem through the guided passage.

“Those who wish to take the entrance exam to the academy, please go here!!”

“Academy school uniforms are customized at a low price! It’s much cheaper here than at the clothing store next door!!”

“Buy flowers !! Only 200 points !! Buy flowers!!”

I see people of various races passing by.

With the elves in the elongated and handsome coats,

The dwarves look like children.

‘… It wasn’t an airport, it was an amusement park.’

-Welcome to the world of fantasy! Enough to have the phrase

Attached to it,

The scenery you see as soon as you enter,

It was a fairly unfamiliar sight.

‘…Of course I’m a vampire too.’

“Oh.”

I met eyes with a passer-by.

Maybe it’s because I looked around so strangely,

A red-haired, cat-eared woman was looking at a strange person.

“That… I’m sorry…”

It would be rude to stare carelessly at passers-by here, too.

“……. Everything.”

“Yes?”

“.. Really handsome.”

Anyway, the rudeness seems to be the same over there.

The woman in front of me muttered something,

Instantly, it quickly disappeared from sight.

“.. So fast.”

It seems that the beast races have excellent physical abilities.

“..What are you doing?”

Let’s turn our heads at the sound we hear,

Sung Jin-ha was looking at me with cold eyes.

“… It’s just a different feeling to come to a crowded place like this after staying in a room for something…”

“I think the entrance exam is over there.”

Looking at the direction Seong Jin-ha’s finger is pointing,

A woman in a suit with long brown hair was holding a signpost to guide the academy.

“Just by looking at it, you look like a faculty member. There’s not much left, so let’s go quickly.”

“…Ah! Are you aspiring for the academy entrance exam?”

“Yes. Where should I go?”

The faculty member pointed with her finger somewhere.

The thing where the finger points is,

It was a huge white castle-like building that could be seen even from a distance.

“The building over there is the academy. Follow the blue lighted road to get there.”

‘…Oh.’

After moving to the academy, follow the blue arrow.

“Wow… So many people.”

After waiting in a huge line, I was able to get to the front door.

“Hello, could you please give me your ID?”

“Here.”

“Yes, Martina di Rai, your race is a vampire. Your application has been confirmed. I will keep your ID at the school.”

A man in a suit took her ID and issued her a student ID.

On the student ID, there was nothing written on it other than the two letters ‘Rai’ and the race name ‘Vampire’.

“The entrance exam for the vampire race is on the 3rd floor.”

…?

Entrance exam?

“Is there a separate entrance exam for each race?”

“No, other races take the exam together, but ‘Vampires’ are not able to go to school if they do not meet the minimum standard due to the nature of their race, so they are running separately.”

A test exclusively for vampires…? There was no narrative in the novel.

“What are you doing? Let’s go quickly.”

“Uh… Yes”

As I walked up to the third floor with Sung Jin-ha, I squeezed her hair.

‘No matter how much I thought about it, there was nothing like that…’

Of course, in this unkind novel, things that Seong Jin-ha doesn’t take seriously don’t even appear in the novel.

That means it was so easy that it couldn’t be called a test for Seong Jin-ha…

‘This feels strong…’

In the worst case,

It’s a big deal if you fail the entrance exam.

‘It seems to have been twisted from the beginning.’

“…You’re here.”

When we went up to the third floor, we were greeted by a dark-circled vampire professor wearing glasses.

“Rai, Seongjinha, right? Student Jinha has an unusual name… Is she a half-human race…? Let’s go quickly.”

Anyway, it seems we are the latest.

If I had known the line for the entrance exam would be this long, I would have come a little earlier.

From noble mtl dot com

Let’s open the door and enter,

Many red eyes stare at us in a dark room.

‘Ugh…’

Are you afraid?

Among them, the one that stands out is a mature-looking woman looking this way with a soft eye smile.

And there was a woman staring at her with a frown on her face, and a man with light pink eyes standing silently next to her.

Ah.

I don’t know about the girl with a smile, but looking at the combination, I know who the latter is.

Black hair with a blue tinge, tied back in two ponytails.

The big eyes of the cat figure soaring upward.

Lastly, he is too short to be called a classmate.

This is ‘Kirna’ who appears as a supporting character in the novel.

‘Tsundere heroine on the side of hardliners.’

At first, she confronted Seong Jin-ha due to family pressure, but

As the story progresses, the supporting actors become Seong Jin-ha’s reliable helpers.

But now more than that.

-!! Penalties apply.

‘Why is it so dark…’

As I learned mana, I filled my eyes with mana, so there was no problem with my vision even in a dark place.

I started losing strength in my body.

‘It would be a big deal if I took a test in this state…’

That moment.

Suddenly, the door closed and the light came on.

**

“Now, how many students will endure this year…”

Looking at the crystal ball showing the situation inside, the male professor with dark circles, Berzen, said.

“It’s still bad taste. You started the test without saying anything.”

“hahahaha. It’s only in sudden situations that the real skills come out. And I can’t stand this much.”

“…School life would be impossible.”

With her blindfold on and a bandage on her left hand, Professor Lina looked down at her crystal ball and lowered her eyes.

The reason why only vampires take the test separately is simple.

‘Merhem Academy’ is a space where all races must gather and live an equal life.

Because the vampires are weak to light, special treatment only for the vampires is impossible.

As well as the normal timetable starting in the morning.

There should be no major obstacles to practice or sparring.

‘I understand, but…’

They are still children.

The fact that I came to take the academy entrance exam means that I have put in an effort that is incomparable to other children.

I couldn’t help it because this place couldn’t be accomplished with ‘effort’ alone.

“That’s cruel…”

“…It can’t be helped, because Unidentified Gates don’t just happen at night.”

Berzen smiled bitterly and continued.

“So… Let’s take a look at how great the freshmen are.”

Berzen and Lina looked at the crystal ball at the same time.

Everyone was taken aback by the sudden light magic, but

There were no students who struggled, perhaps because it was a first-level light magic that was still used as a light in everyday life.

“Would you like to step up?”

Step 2.

A few students started sweating.

Step 3.

Most of the students started struggling, and one or two even collapsed.

The fallen students were transferred outside.

And let’s go up to level 4.

“Oh…”

“… These freshmen are of a high level.”

A male student stood with a blunt expression as if nothing had happened.

One female student is on her knees just before retirement.

A male student, looking a little tired, but holding on with a frown on her face.

A female student is smiling and looking at the surroundings as if she is having fun.

And…

There was only one male student standing still without any movement after the exam started.

“Sung Jin-ha. Kirna. Grade. Selina. Is it Rai last?”

“It’s a test that usually ends at level 4…”

The test has a total of 5.5 Steps.

From level 4, it is dangerous to raise it by one level, so I raise it by 0.5 Steps.

“…Are you okay?”

Starting from level 4.5, Even 2nd and 3rd grade students have a hard time.

It must be very burdensome for newcomers who are just entering school.

“Well, there are students who seem relaxed.”

At the same time, Bergen raised the intensity to 4.5 Steps.

The female student who was holding out on her knees was immediately retired and transferred, leaving only four people.

The female student who smiled brightly lost her smile and endured it with an expressionless expression before being retired.

The male student who endured with a frown on her face recovered her mana that she had been resisting and quietly retired.

And naturally, there were only two left.

…Two people?

“Wait… I’m not looking at it wrong..?”

At the 4.5Th level, where only the top vampires survive, as many as two new students stood proudly.

‘Nonsense.’

If you check again,

There were no doubt two students left.

“… I have to finish the exam, right?”

“Oh, that’s how it should be. Let’s quickly retire and tally.”

Berzen raised the intensity of light magic to level 5,

In the end, Seong Jin-ha also retired and the exam was over.

“Now let’s go back and count.”

“… Wait a minute.”

“Huh? Why?”

“There is still one… Left.”

“What?!”

Bergen hurriedly looked into her crystal ball.

Then there,

There was.

She is a male student standing in the same posture as when she first started the exam.

“Does this crazy thing make sense?”

In the 5th stage, not even a single vampire can withstand it.

Am I dreaming right now?

“Wait a minute!! Maybe…”

“What by any chance?”

“I’ve been standing in a low position since a while ago… Didn’t you have a heart attack?”

Berzen was shocked.

When retiring, ‘transition magic’ is automatically activated when beings in the space receive ‘irresistible light’.

But what if you suddenly got a heart attack from direct sunlight with too much intensity?

It was a terrible accident…!

‘I need to find it quickly.’

As soon as he came to his mind, Bergen forcibly broke down the door and entered.

Because there was no time to unlock and enter.

“Hey..! It’s okay.. Kuh!”

The 5th level of light magic was so light that even current professors couldn’t overcome it.

A male student who was in a hurry to stand until the end,

Berzen ran towards Rai…

Our eyes met.

Silent eyes.

It was hard to believe that he was under this level of light, and his expression was calm.

And what’s in those eyes.

Question.

He seemed to be saying this.

Is this enough?

The level of ‘Merhem Academy’, the highest educational institution.

Are you sure it’s only this much?

… To be honest, I was overwhelmed for a moment.

One student.

That’s also for a kid who is just a freshman.

**

When I entered the room, the door was suddenly closed and the light turned on.

– Yin-Yang anti-body is activated.

‘Phew… I’m finally going to live.’

‘…But when does the exam start?’

If it’s a special test, are you trying to learn how to fight…?

I have only learned the basics yet….

It was then.

-Kuh…!

Suddenly, there was a sound of silence around them, and then one or two people began to fall.

‘What is low blood pressure…?’

The fallen personnel suddenly disappeared somewhere.

‘Transition?’

Is it necessary to escape the maze by suddenly transferring to another space?! Or a battle…?

Tension dwells in the body.

Keep calmly grasping the situation so that you can respond immediately in the event of a sudden transfer.

One person.

Two people.

The number of people in the room began to gradually transfer,

In the end, only five remained.

‘Smiley girl, tsundere, mixed-race man, Seong Jin-ha, and me.’

Is the transition order random?

As more time passed, eventually even the tsundere, the eye-smile girl, and the mixed-race man were transferred and only me and Seong Jin-ha remained.

Sung Jin-ha is standing still and staring at me.

‘Why are you staring at me so scary…’

I thought I should say something, but since I didn’t know what the test was about, I couldn’t act hastily.

In the end, even Seong Jin-ha was transferred.

‘It’s my turn now…?’

But after that

No matter how long I waited, my body did not metastasize.

‘… ?’

Oddly enough, I feel like I’m in better shape.

It was then.

– Boom!!

With the sound of an explosion, the door shattered and the male professor I saw earlier ran in.

‘What is it? Is something wrong?’

What I can think of is the appearance of an unidentified gate or an attack by a group of villains.

‘There must still be quite a bit left in the story…?’

Please say something quickly.

Let’s wait for the male professor’s mouth to open.

He stared blankly at me,

After catching my breath, I opened my mouth.

“… The test is over. Come out.”

..

..

..

???…

What is it? Why am I the only one doing nothing?
