Return of the 10th Circle Archmage

Chapter 94 50. Longest number 1 in the country

“Well······.”

After finishing the call from the Ministry of Education staff, I was in a bit of trouble.

‘As expected, you’re number 1 in the country…’

The interview wasn’t too surprising.

‘If reporters come to you, do you want me to do a better interview?’

what interview?

I dropped out and studied purely on my own, and instead of focusing on textbooks, I studied with all the knowledge in the world.

Speaking so frankly, the staff who called me also looked very embarrassed.

‘It’s really difficult…’

Somehow, the bet was won, but in the end, another annoying thing happened.

‘school······. It’s a school…’

As I was standing blankly without getting dressed, Lee Ji-yeon approached me.

“Chief. What are you doing when you’re not at work?”

Lee Ji-yeon looked like she wanted me to leave work sooner, and that she wanted to go to work as well.

“Suddenly, I got a call from the Ministry of Education.”

“Why in the Ministry of Education?”

“I must have called to notify you of the test scores.”

“Yes?”

Lee Ji-yeon made a bewildered expression for a moment, then opened her mouth with a look of hope.

“Have you ever taken the SAT exam in 2022?”

“Yes.”

“Wow, that’s great.”

“What, everyone hits once.”

“Still, the manager is old and an office worker.”

“I can play while I work.”

“Well, yes, but……. Anyway, did the Ministry of Education call you to tell you about your SAT scores? I didn’t have that at the time.”

“You got good grades, so reporters ask you to talk to them when they come for an interview?”

“Yes? How did you get good grades?”

“Nationwide number one.”

“·················ogue.”

To be precise, he ranked first in the country and was all-back in all subjects.

100% of all 100% of the SAT, 1st grade in all grades.

‘I heard that this test is difficult, and the grade 1 cut is very low….’

Recently, in the news related to the CSAT, an article about the highest level of Hell difficulty and the worst non-scholastic ability test was adorning the headlines to the extent that even 80% of the exam questions in each subject were correct.

The butterfly that I made for the SAT item brought on was the hell effect.

However.

‘Still, there are students who did well on the exam thanks to the SAT items…’

Did I say Jisoo Lee…?

A student who tested the No. 1 SAT item made by Matop Jewelry. In order to quickly inform her of her efficacy, she made a val-bung-grade item and had the student use it.

And the ripple effect was huge.

Lee Ji-su said she had raised her grades up to her first grade when she was at the 4-5 grade level and she came up with her grades.

As in the mock test, he even called Matop Jewelery to thank him, saying that he is expected to be ranked 1st this year in the scoring of the CSAT.Because she wrote down her experiences in detail through SNS, Matop Jewelry was able to gain momentum and win.

“Wow, congratulations. Manager.”

“What.”

“I envy Ari unnie~”

Lee Ji-yeon muttered like that, and she said she left work before I even left.

I smiled and followed Lee Ji-yeon and hurried her to work.

Click, click.

As soon as I got home, I turned on my computer.

‘When I think of going back to school, I think of old friends…’

In fact, she did not express it to her family or other acquaintances, but the fact that she had a shorter high school life than others was always a regret.

Besides, I couldn’t even go to the college that everyone else went to. In a way, I am a person who has little to offer in this world except for my magical abilities.

If it weren’t for magic or other treasures, my position would be “a 33-year-old incompetent in middle school”.

So would a woman like Ari look after me?

Of course, Ahri didn’t approach me after seeing my abilities.

Still, she doesn’t know what powers I have. I just vaguely feel that I am a little different from others.

However, most women wanted a male they could rely on financially.

Just as before modern society, the strongest male took the prettiest and most physically fit female, modern society was the same.

Instead, in modern society, money rather than power. Economic ability became the attractive point of the male.

Click, click.

It seems that Cyworld is now gone, and everything has been transferred to the basebook. And from there it goes to Linstar again.

‘Bebook took over Lynstar, so the two are linked.’

I first signed up for the popular basebook. Bebook was an SNS that anyone with an email address could sign up for.

‘Well···. Lee Dong-seok, Jang Dong-gyu, Kwon Ki-min, Choi Min-hye, Kwon Hyeong-rak…

Many of my friend recommendation lists were excellent.

I carefully selected the guys to add as friends and clicked the request friend button.

‘School is a high school dropout…’

After high school, all of my middle school friends were estranged.

Because it was true that even if the school split up, I would have avoided it.

However, among high school friends, it seemed to be rare to see them still in contact with each other.

Click, click, click.

First of all, I pressed the request for friendship mainly with friends I had been close with in the past.

“Well······. Lee Dong-seok, what is he doing these days……”

He was my mate when I entered high school. However, he was a guy who bothered his friends a lot because he was good at fighting because he was tall.

“I’m getting ready to be a civil servant…”

I burst into laughter as I checked Lee Dong-seok’s recent status through Webbook. In the past, his father must have boasted that he was running a business, but it was like he was preparing for an announcement without a parachute.

Of course, I didn’t mean to disparage public officials, I thought he was going to do something great, but it was really ridiculous to be a public servant that is popular with everyone these days.

-My dad annoyed me so much that he gave me the company, so I just prepared a civil servant.

There were such articles on his Bebook timeline. Words like that a pretty woman came to your study today, and that it was a success.

‘I’m pathetic…’

If I was going to do it, I would work hard, study similar things together and chat for a few hours, and then it seemed like it was disbanded quickly.

People who usually study should do it, but if someone who doesn’t do it, they can’t concentrate.

It was also a habit, so I couldn’t succeed without strong concentration or motivation.

That’s because I only studied for a certificate.

Anyway, the local announcements, that is, the tech tree of the kids who graduated from vocational high schools, were not much different from those of Lee Dong-seok.

‘In addition to public servants, phone sellers, multi-level, insurance sellers, hoppa, gangsters…. There’s not much I can do about it.’

That’s because I don’t have anything in my head. All high positions that rule the world are held by educated people, and with the exception of Lee Dong-seok, who met his father well, most of the classmates were doing difficult and simple tasks.

Of course, there are some exceptions that make money by increasing efficiency even in simple repetitive tasks. But, I wasn’t talking about those people.

Other than those who succeeded by trying hard in their field, people who roughly do anything.

It is said that the knowledge of ordinary people is passed down from their parents. half right and half wrong

Even if parents are stupid, their children will change if they have the will to change.

However, if the parents do not change anything and only their children are nurtured, that is the worst inheritance.

‘I’m glad I escaped from such a den.’

At first, I was very resentful of being dragged to another world, but now I have no regrets at all.

It was worthwhile to work so hard.

I gained a great power that no one else could hold, and through it I was able to live a life that did not yield to others.

I suddenly sent a message to Iljin Lee Dong-seok, who was my former partner, to find out about his current situation.

-Lee Jun-hyuk: Hey, what are you doing these days? vread 18:40

-Lee Dong-seok: ·······

-Lee Joon-hyuk: Talk v read 18:43

.

.

.

I was read

‘It’s not a pity that we weren’t even close in the first place.’

I was literally bored and just talked to him. I’ve never been mad at what I read.

-Lee Jun-hyuk: Hey, Kwon Min-woo! What are you doing these days v read 19:30

-Minwoo Kwon: ·······

.

.

.

Read this guy too.

– Hey, what are you doing now?

Read that guy too.

‘Did these bastards form a group today?’

It was the worst feeling I’ve had in a really long time. In the meantime, I have only been supported by others, both within the group and outside, but it was refreshing to receive such disrespect after a long time.

“Well, it’s a pity that I’m not.”

I roughly thought so and tried to turn off the computer.

However.

Kakao Talk!

I got a chat from pc kakaotalk.

– I have a new friend.

It seemed like someone added a friend through my number.

“Who is it?”

My profile nickname was ‘ㅇ’, so I couldn’t figure out who it was.

-Lee Jun-hyuk: Who are you?-ㅇ: Junhyuk-ah, I am Park Chankyu. remember?

-Lee Jun-hyuk: Oh, Chan-gyu. what are you doing now

-O: Yes. I’ve been delivering chicken lately.

-Lee Jun-hyeok: ········

It seems that this guy and that guy are all civil servants or working like chicken delivery. Of course, these are all necessary tasks for society, but the important thing is that the pay is low and the work is hard.

Besides, Park Chan-gyu was one of the few friends I was close with.

‘I always used to talk about novels with Chan-gyu…’

When we were in school, rental store novels were in vogue.

Lightning, Heukhyang, King’s Sword, Gatgung, etc…

Before class every day, Chankyu and I go to the corner of the classroom and say, ‘Someone posted a fanfiction of Na Yurin in the lightning rod cafe’ or ‘Heukhyang and Rainmine really don’t come out too much. He endured the tedious school days, saying, “It’s a serialization cycle.”

At that time, it was all such entertainment that gave us vitality. In fact, I didn’t know why I had to study, and it wasn’t even fun.

However, the world in the novel was different.

In the novel, the protagonist overcame difficult adversity, grew into a powerful character, and gave the reader a strong catharsis.

The students felt vicarious satisfaction when the main character played an active part in Moorim or when he was monopolized by pretty beauties.

Of course, after I finished reading it, I felt futile, so I quickly borrowed other books from the rental shop again.

Then another world opened up.

-I also want to go to another realm or Moorim and become really strong.

I actually thought about it like that. And it actually happened.

When it actually happened, it was a shock and horror.

I struggled to survive in a world that was 180 degrees different from the world I thought I had seen in the novel.

It was a really dirty, naive, shaky, and life-changing thrilling experience.

In fact, the world more like a novel than a novel was the world called Demos.

-ㅇ: Junhyuk, what are you doing these days?

-Lee Jun-hyuk: I want to go back to school.

-O: School? Do you really want to drop out then and go back to high school?

-Lee Jun-hyuk: No, I took the GED this year.

-ㅇ: Oh, then you’re going to college. well thought out No matter how blind the job is, it’s all a lie. I still see the college signage.

-Lee Jun-hyuk: Is it? It’s still Hell-Joseon.

-ㅇ : But did you join Bebook recently?

-Lee Jun-hyuk: Yes, I joined today.

-ㅇ: What the hell have you been doing in the meantime, have you signed up now? no contact

-Lee Jun-hyuk: I came by boat to make money.

-O: Huh? Really? Heh heh. That’s great. But I couldn’t go because I was afraid that if I applied, my fellow fishermen would drag me into the sea.

-Lee Jun-hyuk: It’s not right haha. everyone is nice

-O: Anyway, hey, I had something to say, but I forgot.

-Lee Joon-hyuk: What is it?

-ㅇ : There is a class reunion on December 15th. I’m glad I got in touch with you. It’s our Gunpo announcement alumni reunion. Will you come too?

-Lee Jun-hyuk: Well…

In fact, my high school life lasted only until the second semester of my first year, and in the middle of that, I was taken to another world.

So I didn’t have many friends like that. In the meantime, there were many guys who built up bad ties in a short period of time.

-Lee Jun-hyuk: I’ll think about it.

-O: What do you think? Please come. come twice

-Lee Joon-hyuk: Ha ha ha.
