by adminAfter meeting Chun Yu-hwa, the preparation for the midterm exam went smoothly.
I rolled my body a little less than usual, and I rolled my head harder than usual.
‘I think it would be better for my body to suffer.’
After the dungeon strategy practice, life in Eden went somewhat similar to university life during a typical exam period.
I wake up in the morning, check the schedule, and if there is a lecture, I go to the learning center and listen to the lecture.
While eating lunch, I check the mountain of assignments, curse the professor while I eat, and then prepare for the afternoon lecture.
After the afternoon lecture, we go back to the restaurant, have dinner, and return to the dormitory.
And as soon as I finish bathing and changing clothes in the dormitory, I sit down at my desk again, review the progress I made that day, and solve the tasks I checked during the day in order.
These are truly fulfilling, yet extremely painful days.
“It’s okay if the hunter defeats monsters and saves people well, why are you doing this… .”
“I don’t know, but they say it’s necessary.”
After going through those days for a month, not only me but also the other cadets around me started to get more and more tired.
Eden is the world’s best hunter training academy.
In other words, the quality of the lecture content and the enthusiasm of the professors teaching the lectures are also high.
You may have seen it at least once during your school days.
While there are teachers who give classes in a leisurely manner and leave the classroom when the time comes, there are also teachers who continue to teach classes passionately without ever getting tired.
And the tests and performance evaluations of such passionate teachers were always difficult and cumbersome.
“… Othinus, you bastard, did you send me to Eden to get some shit?”
“I know what you want to say, but please don’t swear openly.”
It was the same with Eden. Not only was it difficult to understand the lecture content, but the assignments that came up repeatedly were also very difficult.
Things were better for me. This is because I had the experience of studying diligently as a high school student, and the college life I attended before becoming possessed was helpful in some way.
However, in the case of Cheon Yu-hwa, who was right next to me cursing Othinus, it seemed like she was not used to studying like this at all.
“That person has bright ears and is no joke. If you make a mistake, you get caught and it gets annoying.”
The advice was given with more sincerity, perhaps because it was not just a simple slander, but an actual experience.
But Cheon Yu-hwa sighed and clenched her fists, as if she was listening to my advice or not.
Her grip was so tight that her arms were shaking.
“The wish I have had since I was young has become more urgent.”
“What was your wish when you were young?”
“Putting a fist into Othinus’s face.”
Cheon Yu-hwa had a very cruel wish since she was young.
Until now, I have not been able to figure out what kind of connection there is between Othinus and Cheon Yu-hwa, but judging from Cheon Yu-hwa’s actions and mood, their relationship seemed close to an evil one.
“But the midterm exams start tomorrow. That fact is a little comforting.”
“The written exam took two days. From Monday to Tuesday.”
Midterm exams are held throughout the week, with written exams taking place over two days from Monday to Tuesday and practical exams taking place from Wednesday to Friday.
The written exam is conducted in the familiar manner of distributing and collecting exam papers, but the practical exam is conducted according to the major lecture for each cadet.
For example, in the case of fighting and weaponry majors, the basic posture and completeness of techniques are evaluated, and in the case of magic majors, the power of magic and understanding of techniques are evaluated.
Was the practical test for the final evaluation held after the sports competition a practical test like a dungeon strategy?
“I’m confident in my practical skills, but my writing is a problem.”
“Me too.”
Cheon Yu-hwa was studying using the recording files and written materials I gave her, but she was having a hard time because she was not used to studying.
According to him, his score was barely enough to avoid a failing grade on the mock exam distributed on a tablet.
It’s a hopeless level, but I guess we’ll do it somehow.
“I’ll go back now. Because the exam starts tomorrow. Lastly, I need to look at the scope of the test.”
With those words, Cheon Yu-hwa returned to the dormitory.
Anyway, I and she both went for a short walk to cool off our tired heads from studying and we ran into each other.
Strangely, the direction in which Cheon Yu-hwa was heading was not towards the skyscraper, but somewhere else, but I also turned around, thinking I would ask him next time.
Just like she said. Because the written exam starts tomorrow.
Time was running out to finish the studies I couldn’t complete.
.
.
.
“Now, did everyone do well on the written exam over the past two days?”
Time passed quickly, and Wednesday morning assembly began.
Professor Karia, standing in front of the teacher’s table, smiled and asked questions to the cadets in a bright mood.
In contrast to the lively atmosphere emanating from around her, the atmosphere of the cadets sitting in their seats was rather gloomy.
As always, there are always more people who do poorly on a test than those who do well.
‘When will the grades come out?’
It probably won’t come out next week or the week after that.
As I thought about that, my head filled with sexual thoughts went blank. Because I was also worried about my test scores.
It felt like someone was telling me that the confidence that came from thinking that I had studied hard was just arrogance.
The difficulty level of the questions on the midterm exam was quite high.
If I could take one comfort, it would be that not only I but most of the cadets were maintaining a gloomy mood.
When I realized that I wasn’t the only one who failed, my frustrated heart began to ease little by little.
“Hehe, everyone is like that. Test results are always unsatisfactory. Still, the written test is already a thing of the past, so starting today, we should focus on the practical test, right?”
practical examination.
That one word from Professor Caria’s mouth tightened the tense atmosphere in the classroom.
As Eden’s goal is to train excellent hunters, written grades cannot be ignored, but the reflection rate of practical grades was significantly higher than that of written grades.
“The exam is not completed until the practical exam is completed, so after the morning assembly, please visit the classroom and training center according to your major subject.”
Professor Caria ended the morning assembly with those words.
After she left the classroom, the remaining cadets each grabbed their smartphones and began checking their exam timetables.
There is a practical exam for the combat major on Wednesday and Thursday, that is, today and tomorrow.
Practical tests for weapon skills, fighting skills, and combat magic are held at the first training center.
Non-combat major subjects are held on the Friday after all combat major exams are completed.
These are mainly exams for exploratory majors and medical majors.
‘wait for a sec.’
I checked the timetable and was about to leave when a thought occurred to me.
‘How should I take the practical test?’
When I think about it. I didn’t have any major courses that I signed up for.
I simply took the required courses in the morning and repeated sparring with Professor Caria in the afternoon.
It was a difficult problem to ask others for help with, so as I was thinking about what to do, a text message arrived on my smartphone.
It was a text message from Professor Karia.
「Karia Leifeld: Cadet Seong Yu-jin did not choose a major subject, so a special practical exam is prepared.」
「Me: A special practical test?」
After reading the text, I walked to a deserted place and asked Professor Caria.
Speaking of a special practical test, is there something else prepared?
「Karia Leifeld: Yes. “You will soon arrive at the practical test site prepared for Cadet Seong Yu-jin, right?”
Professor Caria, who checked my text message, sent me another text message, but the answer that came back was actually a reply, and instead of resolving my existing questions, it only created new questions.
I can’t believe I arrived at the practical exam center.
I wasn’t saying that someone would get to me, or that I had to go somewhere.
In the first place, is the expression “arrived” grammatically correct?
As I was frowning with various questions, the barrier surrounding me suddenly shook like crazy.
‘… No, the barrier is not shaking.’
Inside the barrier, the space where I stand is misaligned.
An artificial supernatural phenomenon that could never be considered a natural phenomenon occurred around me.
I realized it thanks to the barrier technique that reads and controls space. It’s such precise spatial manipulation that I wouldn’t have even noticed it if it weren’t for me.
‘Dangerous.’
I felt that way intuitively. If the concept of space is handled incorrectly, the body will be torn into pieces.
The detection barrier, which had not yet been dismantled and was only shaking like crazy, was constantly pushing information about the current phenomenon into my head.
Is it because my level of barrier skill is so high? The space that was about to distort arbitrarily and my barrier, which was trying to prevent it at all costs, began a tight tug-of-war.
‘I’m being pushed.’
But gradually the barrier on my side is being pushed back.
Space magic is a type of magic that excels in the field of tearing and repairing space. However, the barrier technique cannot penetrate space that directly in the first place.
The differences arising from the structural problems of such techniques gradually began to put my side at a disadvantage.
Gigi geek-.
The barrier, which had gained physical substance in order to have a stronger binding force, began to shake with an ominous sound.
“What the fuck… !”
The barrier is broken.
He muttered a curse as he looked at the barrier that was gradually starting to crack.
The moment I swallowed my saliva like that, my vision became brightly colored.
[The mystery of this world resists spatial transfer.]
[The mysteries of this world suppress unauthorized distortion of space.]
[The mystery of this world rejects the mystery of empty space.]
The light source that illuminated my vision was none other than the light in the status window.
Suddenly, with the notification on the status window flashing before my eyes, the shaking of the space that had been shaking the barrier subsided.
It seemed as if the sovereignty of the other world had been triggered arbitrarily, taking over the space inside the barrier and resisting the manipulation of space that was trying to move my body.
“Phew… .”
I once again admired the performance of the sovereignty of this world and breathed a sigh of relief that I had barely overcome the crisis.
And the next moment.
“Cadet Yujin Seong. Is that correct?”
“… Yes?”
Odd Spartium appeared in front of me out of nowhere.
