63 – ready(2)

Baek Ha-na and Lee Na-young’s dormitory room.

Hana Baek and three people are sitting huddled in front of a table set there, quenching their thirst with drinks purchased at the mart.

“therefore.”

Maria, who had quenched her thirst with milk tea, asked Baek Ha-na, who was sitting opposite and nibbling on a stick.

“Senior, did you have any thoughts?”

“… … Well.”

Maria was a little taken aback by Baek Ha-na’s subtle reaction.

Surely, even in front of the restaurant, he looked at himself with his eyes wide open, but now he is apathetic as if he has lost interest again.

“no. But he says he’s not interested, so why do you two keep encouraging him?”

When Idney, who was sipping cherry sparkling, which is said to be enjoyed by very few, asks, Maria answers with a sullen look.

“I’m sending out such a defiant gaze, but shouldn’t I have to reciprocate?”

“… no.”

Although he harbored a bit of intense hostility, as Baek Ha-na, the person concerned, acknowledged that his fiancée was being slapped for a long time, wouldn’t it be more strange if he didn’t get angry… ?

However, Maria, who didn’t think so at all, turned her head to Baekhana again.

“yes? it’s one Were you interested in it earlier?”

“What… . Exemption from assignments is definitely appetizing.”

But upon reflection, that was all.

Even if the curfew increases, he won’t meet him on weekdays anyway, and he stays out on Saturday, one of the weekends. If so, the only day to receive benefits is Sunday.

The problem is that even he will definitely tell you to return on time. Of course, I would accept it if I was acting like a child, but I didn’t want to give up being held in my arms or sleeping together for that.

Then private lessons.

If it hadn’t been for the condition of vacation, that alone would have been worth getting the top spot. However, as the condition of vacation was attached, it was virtually non-existent, but it was degraded to mana.

During the vacation, of course, I will go home, and he is always there. In other words, even if you didn’t have those benefits, you could still spend time with that person.

In fact, it was the most useless benefit.

And.

“I don’t think it’s very strong.”

The biggest reason was that I didn’t feel the need to train even on weekends.

A red-haired classmate who glared at him hostilely at the restaurant.

She should have said her name was Na Joo-hee.

I couldn’t be sure because I couldn’t look at it properly, but it seemed clear that he had more magic than Kang Seok-ho. However, just because you have a lot of magical power doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be stronger.

In fact, in the past, in a sparring with Claire who did not use magical powers, the experience of being completely wrecked was embarrassingly much for a century.

“I’m a bit unlucky, but what if it’s just one?!”

Idni, who was nodding alone, suddenly screamed and jumped up from her seat. Then he grabbed his left foot and jumped around.

Maria, who was sitting next to her, gently stepped on her foot.

Maria said to Baek Ha-na, completely ignoring Idni who ran wildly behind her.

“It is one. You know that the birth of an Awakener is determined not by hard work, but by the abilities gained during Awakening, right?”

“yes.”

“And one of your abilities… .”

“Among the middle ranks?”

Those were things I had already heard tirelessly of while being trained by Claire.

“Of course, there are very, very few people who surpass it through individual effort or natural talent. one like you.”

Even Claire was surprised by her ability to manage magical power and use of her abilities.

In response, Claire assured that if Baek Ha-na continued to grow, she would be in a high-ranking group.

“But Na Joo-hee. He was born differently.”

The Department of Magic has a stronger ego than other departments.

In such a place, a unique ability that made all classmates bow their heads only with their skills.

“elementalization.”

A truly absurd ability to replace the composition of the body with the desired 4 elements. That was the ability Na Joo-hee had awakened.

Of course, it required delicate magic management skills, but as a child of a teenage guild, she was born with not only ability but also talent.

“Even if it’s not elementalization, it’s said that the skill at handling fire magic is at a high level. In addition, since there is no suitable opponent, it is not known how long the elementalization can be maintained.”

“… yes?”

When Baek Ha-na tried to show interest again, Nam Seo-hee quickly continued.

“Or one.”

“… … ?”

“I just heard that you are using the training room this weekend. So why don’t you see and judge for yourself?”

“Yes… … .”

Baek Hana frowned and groaned softly.

When Baek Ha-na is troubled by the active recommendation of two friends.

“Chi… . But isn’t it possible to be the top even if you defeat Na Joo-hee? Besides practical skills, there are other external things as well.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“Why why?”

Idni took a step back in shock at the glares of Maria and Nam Seo-hee, who were glaring at her with eyes that looked like monsters.

Because, as Idni said, the real purpose of the two was not to be the chief of Baekhana.

Maria simply did not like Na Joo-hee’s hostile gaze, and in the case of Nam Seo-hee, it was her real intention to spend the weekend with Baek Ha-na using that as an excuse.

“… Will you hit me then?”

“Shall I hit it?”

“me too.”

As if they had waited, the two spread their palms out wide toward Idni.

“No, what did I do? that’s really funny… . And one hundred.”

“… … yes?”

When Hana Baek raised her head, Idni snorted slightly and said.

“Senior. Aside from the benefits, if you want to stick with the professor during vacation, shouldn’t you rather desperately claim it?”

“… What are you talking about?”

“No, it is. Thanks to the executor, the professor’s lectures were very popular, and there are a lot of kids who failed to attend, right?”

“… right?”

Not only Baek Ha-na, but also Maria and Nam Seo-hee, who had their eyes wide open, were concentrating on Edni’s words.

At that, Edney sat back in his seat and continued talking.

“therefore. He said that if I were the top, I would take private lessons from the professor during vacation, even if I was just curious. As a bonus, see our executor.”

Squeak.

Idney’s leftover cherry sparkling on the side! I sipped and lifted my head. And I wrinkled my forehead at the stares of my friends who were making very strange expressions.

“Why again this time?”

“no… … .”

Maria looked at Baekhana, who had a shocked expression on her face, and patted Idni’s thigh.

“… I thought it must be very painful.”

Maria thought to herself that if she had to hit Idni’s back, let’s look after her.

[ 2nd meeting room ]

“… That is all.”

Jayden, who reported the senior class’ preparations for the evaluation, looked up at the podium.

“Let it go like that.”

“… … Yes.”

A place where you can see everyone.

It was only after Baek Woo-jin, who was on top of it, looked away, that Jayden was able to sit in his seat.

An important meeting that all professors, except for administrative positions, must attend.

Baek Woo-jin, who took the place of the chairman who was to lead the meeting, opened his mouth.

“If the newly appointed professors have something to suggest, don’t be alarmed and suggest it.”

Retired Awakeners who started teaching three weeks ago on behalf of the writers who sat on the faction to satisfy their greed.

Baek Woo-jin told them not to pay attention to those around them, but the quality of their personal connections was as good as they were in a well-known guild, so the existing professors treated them more carefully.

“I am still in the process of adapting, so I am cautious about expressing my opinion.”

“I am of the same opinion. And I think it might confuse the students if you try your hand at the way it has been going on so far.”

Baek Woo-jin nodded at the remarks of the new professors.

“exactly. In the case of third and fourth graders, they will be sensitive to changes.”

Especially in the case of the 4th grade, since this year is the last year, it will be very embarrassing if something new is added or changes are made in a situation where the evaluation is only a few weeks away.

“Then, since there doesn’t seem to be anything more to say, it’s okay to leave only the 1st year in charge and leave the rest behind.”

Jayden and Lee Hyuk, who had already experienced Baek Woo-jin several times, were the first to get up and leave the conference room.

As the heads of the two factions moved, the rest of the professors gradually got up from their seats and quickly left the conference room, and shortly thereafter, only the faculty in charge of the first year, including Kang Han-na and Yoon Do-sik, remained in the large conference room.

Except for Yoon Do-shik, who is familiar with Baek Woo-jin to some extent, everyone fixed their eyes on the podium with tension.

“I didn’t ask you to stay to pick up faults separately, so there is no need to be nervous. I don’t know if it’s a bug that can’t perform its role properly. Everyone is still doing their job without being lazy.”

gulp… .

Some of the professors who saw Baek Woo-jin in the entrance exam strengthened their posture by giving more strength to their backs.

“Except for some, I’ll be the busiest at the academy right now, so let’s get straight to the point.”

Baek Woo-jin’s bag, which had been placed in the corner of the podium, was opened, and white sheets of paper came out and landed in the hands of the professors who remained at the table.

Just when everyone was turning their eyes to the paper, Baek Woo-jin continued.

“I will add a new item to the first grade evaluation this time.”

One-sided notification, not asking for opinions.

Yoon Do-shik raised his hand.

“Let me speak.”

“Is that the same for us?”

The ‘us’ that Yoon Do-shik said meant non-combat occupations such as blacksmiths, including the alchemy department.

Baek Woo-jin nodded and replied.

“The method will be slightly different, but there are no exceptions.”

“Hmm… .”

It was a bit sudden, but it shouldn’t be a big problem since it’s a freshman who hasn’t had a proper test yet. So, it must have left only the first year.

“The items to be added and the direction of progress are written in the distributed materials, so make sure you understand them properly. For students, there will be a separate announcement next week, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Baek Woo-jin stretched out his hand, and the bag lying in the corner flew into his hand.

“It is ideal.”

Baek Woo-jin, who came down from the podium, quietly left the conference room with soundless steps.

– Whoa~!!

-Sigh… … .

The nervous professors let out a sigh and sat down on their chairs.

Hearing the professors’ sighs, Yoon Do-sik turned his eyes to the paper in his hand.

“… … ?”

And when I found four bold letters at the top, I blinked blankly.

“… Did you study too long?”

I rubbed my eyes a couple of times and looked at the data again, thinking that maybe my eyes were blurry and couldn’t see well.

【Crack Attack Strategy】

The four letters imprinted on the paper as I saw them for the first time.

“This crazy… .”

After confirming that his eyes were still on active duty, Yoon Do-shik hurriedly left the meeting room in pursuit of the man who distributed the papers in his hands.
