“Student Shinwoo! Are you crazy?”

“You said you could use any means you wanted.”

“Who uses professors as food?”

“And he even threw me as food.”

“Hey, Geumchaeng. You and your professor are awesome, right?”

“AAAHHH!!!!!”

As soon as the test was over, Professor Park Mi-ran and Kim Yu-na came to their senses and immediately protested to me.

It looks like he doesn’t like the idea of using it as a mealworm substitute.

I should have been grateful for the reminder of their two lily identities, but it was unexpected.

The two of them were yelling at me, swearing at me, and threatening to do me a disservice in my exam results.

but.

To cut to the chase, it had absolutely no effect on the test results.

Because there were not a single violation.

Our team received high marks for defeating a high-difficulty monster in a relatively short period of time, and our team proudly received full marks.

Kim Yu-na wasn’t happy about getting full marks either, but she thought of it as a settlement money borrowed with the whip and moved on.

[But weren’t the professors the ones grading it? How did you get full marks?]

‘Ultimately, the scoring is done by AI.’

AlphaGo was right.

When AlphaGo’s time comes, I’ll give you a WD40 as a bribe.

Just then, Elsia finished her exam and joined us.

“Thanks to you, I did well on the test!”

“Suddenly?”

“We also used professors!”

Elsia’s explanation was as follows.

He said that when the professor came into the exam room and was sleeping in a corner, he had his limbs tied up and thrown to the monsters as bait.

And while the monsters’ attacks were focused on the professor, the crew members killed the monsters one by one.

He said that he was able to get high scores because he was able to clean up as quickly as possible without causing any damage to his crew members.

At that moment, Hyeji raised her finger and pointed to the test site screen being transmitted by the drone.

“Shinwoo, look at that.”

There, another group was shown taking advantage of the professor.

As the students grabbed the professor’s ankles and swung them, striking the monster, the powerful blows caused it to burst in one blow.

Naturally, this group also received high scores.

The reason is the appropriate use of weapons.

As the groups that used professors got higher scores than the groups that did not, the students’ reluctance disappeared and they all started to actively use professors.

When I saw that sight, I was overcome with emotion.

“Shinwoo, isn’t it so beautiful?”

“Min…Minna…Hontoni!!”

“Confucius did it!”

“Sir! What a wonderful sight!”

‘This is the right academy!’

[You’ve already enlightened the students!]

Everyone has finally realized it.

A renaissance is coming to this academy.

Today is Academy Enlightenment Day.

Anyway, he’s a professor, not even a human being.

What’s wrong with using tools like tools?

Later, as a result of this incident, a rule was added to prevent professors from being used as tools during exams.

However, since it was not applied immediately, currently, numerous professors were repeatedly separated for each exam.

I left my final exams, which were still in progress, behind and hurriedly moved to another place.

Anyway, my exams were already over.

Because if not now, it would be impossible.

***

“Shinwoo, where are you?”

“Confucius, I think I hear the sound of the dead crying from somewhere.”

“Sir, it’s so creepy here.”

“……Hey, no matter what, this is a place where people live.”

We came to the research building while the professors were busy with their final exams.

Even the researchers who had been staring dead in the research building suddenly began to light up their eyes as soon as they saw me.

Looking around the faces, fortunately, there didn’t seem to be any doctoral students.

“The Messiah has come!”

“Kim Shin-woo is a god! Kim Shin-woo’s method is invincible!”

“Oh Lord…”

“He’s a god!”

“It’s been a while, everyone.”

After a brief greeting, we got straight to the point.

“Please wait, maybe next year or so, I will be treated as a person under the law.”

“Okay, I believe it will be done soon.”

“And after you are treated as a human being, please help me just once when I contact you.”

“Of course.”

All the students bowed their heads to me repeatedly and expressed their gratitude.

Meanwhile, the rest of the people, except for me, were going in and out of the professor’s office.

“Kids, don’t you think some of the papers here look like they should be burned?”

“…Miss Hyeji, if you do something like that, the students will have a hard time recovering.”

“Sir! There are so many high-quality sweets and chocolates here. Take a few!”

“You guys! If you get caught with that in your pocket, you’re in big trouble!”

One of the researchers, who seemed to be a newbie, quickly stopped Elsia.

The reason is that it will be soon enough for the professors to return, so it is time to pack something.

“Then, there’s no problem if I put it on the boat and take it?”

“……Huh?”

“You heard! Everyone, shove it in as much as you can!”

“Okay.”

“Yes! Sir!”

“……I don’t think the girl will move.”

“Then let’s eat everything except Jeong Ah-yeon.”

“But an occasional deviation isn’t a bad thing.”

In the end, we agreed to stuff as much of the professors’ snacks into our mouths as possible.

And I ate it all.

The MVP is obviously Elsia.

As we were about to leave the research building, patting our swollen bellies, the researchers came out to greet us.

“The final exams are almost over, so we’ll go out right away.”

“Okay, see you next time, Messiah.”

“Oh, and.”

Just before I left, I looked back at the students.

“No matter what, it’s a bit burdensome to be called the Messiah or God.”

“Sorry. We were so happy…”

“Instead.”

And he spoke softly to the students.

“Next time I see you, please call me President.”

“…….Ha, hail!!!!”

When I closed the door and went out.

One of the students who had been blankly staring at me began to cry and quietly mumbled.

“Mine Furer…”

***

“Sir! You said you didn’t have any plans for this vacation!”

“Why is that?”

“There’s a place we can go together this time!”

“Where?”

On the way back to the dormitory after leaving the research building, Elsia held my hand tightly and said.

“It’s Daesurim!”

“…….Suddenly?”

[I feel uneasy.]

‘Okay, that’s right.’

The Great Forest.

The home of elves, and a place where many elves reside.

And at the same time, it is the place where the world tree is located.

“Can’t I just not go?”

“That’s why I said to bring my husband this time!”

“Who said that?”

Then Elsia smiled brighter than before and said.

“The World Tree wants to see you, sir!”

“……Why?”

I am 100% pure human.

He has no ties to elves by nature, and the only elf he is close to is Elsia.

But suddenly the World Tree is calling?

Something feels very cheap.

Then, Hyeji, who was listening from the side, joined our conversation.

“Kamp, do you really have to go there with Shinwoo alone?”

“Uh…not necessarily.”

“Then I’ll go with you.”

Then Elsia lowered her head and muttered.

“……This would be completely different.”

“Elsia?”

Elsia, who heard what I said, looked at me with longing.

With a look of longing somewhere.

“……What do you want to do, sir?”

Perhaps because of the atmosphere, it seemed like they wanted to go alone.

I don’t know exactly why though.

Still, I thought it was dangerous for the two of us to go alone.

The Great Forest is the elves’ home ground.

As we are an away team, we don’t know what kind of situation we will be in.

[Isn’t your karma a bit much?]

‘Why is that my karma? It’s because those little bastards did stupid things.”

“For the minimum safety, let’s take Hyeji with us.”

“……Okay…I understand.”

“Confucius? Have you ever seen a woman…”

Jeong Ah-yeon gave me a sneaky hint, as if she wanted me to take care of her too.

It seemed like it was because of pride that he said it directly, but there was no protagonist who would care about that.

“You? Why? You’re going to the unmanned guild anyway. Work hard. See you later.”

“Stop, Confucius! Take care of the girl too!”

It was Jeong Ah-yeon who threw away her pride and self-pity.

“What about you going to work at the guild?”

“If there is a special reason, I said I would acknowledge it even if you don’t come to the guild.”

“Really? It looks like you have no other reason than to go to work at the guild.”

“Please take my wife with you! I’m sick of cleaning statues!”

While the youngest one shows no sign of joining, Jeong A-yeon continues to be exploited by the unmanned guild.

Jeong Ah-yeon, exhausted from the constant nagging and harassing, was making her last desperate attempt to avoid going to work.

I said to Jeong Ah-yeon with a mean smile.

“Beg like a dog.”

“What, what are you talking about!”

“Say it like a dog, ‘Please take this lowly servant away.’”

“Ugh…”

Jeong Ah-yeon knelt down and spoke while trembling.

“Mi…..”

“Say it straight. ‘Please take this lowly servant away.’”

“Mi, Mi…!”

“빨리 말해, 이 참피새끼야.”

“You crazy bastard!!!! Get out!!!”

“Oh, shit.”

[……I knew this would happen.]

Jeong A-yeon, whose patience had reached its limit, rushed at me while summoning a summoner.

The summoned creatures were binding and biting my limbs, while Jeong A-yeon was thrusting into my abdomen.

I had no choice but to get beaten helplessly.

Because I didn’t expect this situation.

Eventually, after five minutes of dramatic compromise, they decided to take Jeong Ah-yeon with them.

***

The day we set off for Daesurim.

We gathered in front of the gate early in the morning.

Unlike Hyeji and I, who still couldn’t shake off the drowsiness, Elsia and the escort elf looked fine.

“Actually, I stayed up all night!”

Looking closely, Elsia and the escort elf’s eyes were swollen and bright red.

In Jeong A-yeon’s case, she was the first to arrive and was waiting for us.

Looking at his bright eyes, I could tell how much he hated going to the guild.

At that moment, Hyeji called Elsia.

“Hey, Kampf. Go and tell me the coordinates of the forest.”

“Yes! I’ll tell you!”

Elsia went to the gate manager and told him the coordinates of the Great Forest.

There was something odd in Elsia’s eyes as she returned after telling me the coordinates, but I thought it was because she was tired.

The gate activated shortly thereafter.

As she watched, Elsia grabbed my sleeve.

“Hey, Sir! Let’s go!”

Then Elsia grabbed my sleeve and pulled me towards the gate.

Then Hyeji followed me while holding onto my other sleeve, and after that, Jeong Ayeon hurriedly chased after us.

Finally, the escort elf leisurely walked to the gate.

So we are the Great Forest…..

‘What the fuck.’

[……Where is this place?]

…………was not like that.

When it comes to a large forest, as the word suggests, it has to be lush with grass and trees.

But now, the place we came out of the gate is inside a huge building where only white exists.

The antique decorations seemed to subtly suggest that this was no ordinary place.

Besides me, the other members of the group were also confused about this situation.

Before we could even shake off our confusion, a threatening voice was heard from behind.

“What kind of guys are they?”
