by adminThe world is trying to suppress me.
Why on earth am I so upset because I can’t eat it?
‘You said it was decided by the chief, so why change it?’
There is a seniority decided at a faculty meeting, so why overturn the results like flipping the palm of your hand?
Seria Alfheim’s capabilities are not lacking to take on the role of chief. Rather, it is full and overflowing.
Even if several active hunters are brought in, the capabilities of the current Seria Alfheim may be superior.
Of course, he has greater capabilities than I have now.
I may become stronger as time passes, but that is not something that can happen right now.
‘why?’
No matter how you look at it, it seems like they tried to force a drift to pick on me.
‘There’s something more special about me now than Ceria Alfheim… .’
On the outside, he looked a little frowned upon, but on the inside, he was spewing out all sorts of curses.
In all rounds from the 1st to the 9th, there was no cadet other than Ceria Alfheim who became the valedictorian.
Because at the time of admission, there was no publicly known cadet who could surpass her.
However, they are trying to make me the top cadet of Ceria Alfheim or higher.
‘I’m really going crazy.’
At that moment, several scenes flashed through my mind. The scene in the scene is the fake Gungnir incident that occurred not long ago.
─Really? You’re a freshman, but on your first day of school, you caused an accident that will go down in Eden’s history.
The voice of Professor Bella, who had unsealed the replica Gungnir and healed me after I collapsed, suddenly came to mind.
─I heard you call me an asshole, so tell him to be prepared.
Next, I remembered the postscript on the note I had received from Professor Bella.
A curse filled with resentment toward Othinus, shouted just before he fell unconscious.
I remembered the note from Othinus, who personally warned me that I would pay a price for my outrageous remarks, so I should be prepared.
‘Is it possible that they made me the top student just because of that one thing?’
Of course, Othinus couldn’t have put me in the head position for that reason alone.
Although she is a bit shy, she strictly observes public and private matters.
It would be hard to say that there was no intention to screw you over, but at least there must have been a valid reason for putting me in the top position.
And probably, the true reason for that is probably lying next to my dorm bed by now.
‘Replica Gungnir, did you just throw it away next to the bed?’
Of course, you can call it at any time if you decide to call it.
The replica Gungnir automatically flies towards me when I call it with my will.
Unfortunately, the replica Gungnir has little regard for surrounding terrain when moving.
No matter what is in front of you, it just flies straight through everything.
The architecture of Eden is the world’s highest-class building, complete with magical treatments, but in front of Gungnir, that is meaningless.
Although it is an imitation, it is an imitation produced directly by Othinus, the owner of the original. It is the most faithful and closest to the essence of Gungnir.
In other words, it is a window that embodies ‘a room as big as you’.
‘It’s perfect for houses and buildings to collapse.’
From the outer wall of my dormitory, the penthouse, to this grand banquet hall.
The moment you sing the imitation Gungnir, a ray of cool air opens up.
There is no way that such a commotion would not attract attention.
From the moment the main culprit of the commotion came into my hands, it was a self-evident fact that I would be talked about.
If that happens, it’s a complete reversal.
Why did they skip the entrance ceremony in the first place and bring out a fake Gungnir?
This was to avoid attracting too much attention.
‘Is there no way to hide it?’
I thought about it, but couldn’t think of a suitable way.
Should we risk attracting attention and aim for the benefits that come from attracting attention?
My head was filled with various thoughts.
“Everyone is probably curious. It’s been decades since she disappeared. Surrounded by mystery, who is the top student selected by Eden’s president himself?”
The cadets’ eyes were all focused on Vice President Ord’s mouth.
Well, if I had been a resident of this world since I was born, wouldn’t the country have reacted the same way?
He is the world’s greatest hunter whose whereabouts have been unknown for nearly decades.
He is the greatest hero who has firmly maintained his status since the outbreak of the cataclysm.
The president of Eden suddenly appears and selects the top student.
‘I’ll have to give up on staying quiet until I get stronger.’
I completely abandoned my plan to quietly retreat and practice like a thief.
Holding on to a failed plan until the end is considered the worst of all handshakes.
So I quickly gave up my original idea.
… But to put my worries to shame, something unexpected came out of Vice President Odd’s mouth.
“However, I will not reveal who the top student admitted.”
“?”
What does that mean?
A question mark appeared above my head.
Looking around, I realized I wasn’t the only one. Everyone was blankly asking question marks with dumbfounded expressions.
No, you laid all the groundwork like that and now you’re saying it’s a secret?
“This is the president’s intention. Our entire faculty knows who the top student is, but we won’t tell you directly.”
The story is being passed around here and there, but what they are saying is that the cadets should get together and find out who is the top student.
Things started to get interesting.
It felt as if the fantasy novel I was reading with pleasure suddenly broke the inertial drift into a mystery novel.
“Still, I’ll give you a hint.”
Hints leading to top admissions. Most of the cadets listened to that.
Of course, I listened as well. All you have to do is hide the elements mentioned in the hint and live your life.
“A replica of Gungnir, the weapon used by the President, is placed in the square of Eden. I don’t think there will be any cadets today who have heard this rumor for the first time.”
As soon as I heard the story from Vice President Ord’s mouth, I burst out in joy.
In the context of the story, the identity of the hint given by Vice Chancellor Ord is the imitation Gungnir that I chose.
Now, as long as I don’t openly reveal my Gungnir in front of others, the risk of them finding out that I am the top student has greatly reduced.
With a bright smile on my mind, I listened closely to Vice President Odd’s words.
“The previous day, while you were wrestling with the illusion magic in front of the gateway, a cadet broke through the illusion magic and headed to the plaza. And he obtained a replica Gungnir that had been unclaimed for nearly 100 years.”
I sighed in relief and cooled down my overheated body, but on the contrary, the heat in the room soared.
A replica Gungnir that has not been picked for nearly 100 years.
This is her sacred spear that Othinus has used even up to the moment when he himself swept through the era of cataclysm and cleared the Garden of Paradise.
And the owner of such an amazing weapon was born among the freshmen of his age.
This is for every cadet. No, this is something that would surprise anyone living in this era.
“This is my hint.”
The cadets were already talking to each other and deducing the identity of the top student.
Vice President Odd looked at the scene with satisfaction and cleared his voice.
It was a signal to stop talking and focus on what he was saying.
“Hmm. Now that the party atmosphere seems to have returned to normal, I will leave.”
I hope you enjoy the party enough to prepare for future training. With those words, Vice Chancellor Ord’s cane hit the floor of the podium.
Just-!
Just as he had appeared, the moment the sound was heard, Vice President Odd had already disappeared from the podium.

Anyone who has ever attended a banquet or party will know the atmosphere.
Eat delicious food, chat with close friends, laugh and chat, and enjoy the atmosphere and time.
This is generally the case unless someone puts a damper on the atmosphere or there is an unusual incident.
‘Let’s rest for a bit.’
Of course, there is no need to talk about the Banquet in Eden.
The quality of the food and the quality of the people are all world-class for this age group.
The selection of music is so appropriate that it is difficult to find fault with it, and the luxurious interior also plays a part in raising the quality of the banquet.
Is that why? The excitement and atmosphere of the banquet was beyond imagination.
First of all, sociable cadets took the lead, creating an atmosphere of enjoyment.
We congratulate each other on the fact that we have officially become Eden’s cadets by tasting the many dishes prepared in the banquet hall and quenching our throats with high-quality liquor.
‘I like banquets, but… ‘That’s a little too hot.’
I don’t hate the noisy atmosphere, but that kind of heat is a bit burdensome.
Even on Earth before the possession, I wasn’t good at drinking, so I tended to enjoy it in moderation as much as possible.
‘To get some fresh air, I’d like to try my hand at binding techniques.’
This or that barrier was set up and taken down several times. Although I expected it, I feel like my skills have improved compared to before I entered school.
It is assumed that the cause is due to a recently changed status window. I’m not sure why, but the status of the status window has increased recently.
The sense of discomfort in the sense of moving magical energy disappeared, and the management of magical energy within the body became clearer.
Although the amount of magical power used was similar, the difference in the level of the barrier was clearly revealed.
‘It’s probably because the quality of the circuit has improved.’
Rather than saying that my skills improved over the next few days, it was more reasonable to say that the quality of my magical power naturally improved as the level of the circuit increased.
Since I have become skilled at manipulating magical power to this extent, I will probably be able to use other magic skills that I will learn later.
‘I guess I should sign up for classes focusing on magic.’
According to the results of research up to the 9th round, magic was found to be the skill with the best connection to the barrier magician.
Barrier techniques and magic commonly use magical power as a resource.
There are certainly reasons that stem from that, but basically, it is possible to use the barrier as a drawing board and carve magic techniques onto the barrier.
‘It’s definitely compatible with simple magic like slashing… .’
Was I lost in fascination for a moment, looking at the horizon stretched out so far away?
slap-.
I suddenly felt like I was popular, so I turned my head and looked back.
I didn’t feel anything, and then suddenly someone appeared behind me.
My body, which had been heated by the heat of the banquet, cooled down in the brief moment I looked back.
“… Wow.”
The owner of Incheok looked surprised that I had recognized him.
Black hair that seemed to melt the night sky fell down to my back, and eyes as clear as obsidian captured my face.
Her small head and delicate facial features make the viewer feel attractive.
‘Why is he here?’
But it was difficult to be completely absorbed in her appearance. At least I did.
Just as she was surprised to see me, I was also surprised to see her.
Cheon Yu-hwa.
Depending on the branch chosen by the user, this person appeared as a hidden boss of vicious difficulty.
She was not born with magical powers like humanity before the cataclysm.
Perhaps because of that, he was born with unrivaled physical abilities beyond the standard.
‘Mangame level.’
At the management level, they should have been aware of this from the beginning when leading the conspiracy against the barrier magician.
Once again, reality sometimes surpasses fiction.
There are very few people who can face Seria Alfheim head-on.
The person who was considered the representative example was Cheon Yu-hwa, who appeared in front of me.
