It is said that Harvard’s library is brightly lit at 4:30 in the morning and full of students studying.

Although this was soon proven to be nonsense when it was revealed that librarians do not work night shifts, at first people nodded their heads in serious belief.

I thought that since he was a student who got into a prestigious university, he would have something special that I didn’t have!

For example, a sexual preference such as feeling pleasure while studying.

Well, of course, no matter how prestigious the university is, there are people with such strange tastes… … It’s not like there aren’t any at all, but it’s definitely not the case that there are that many of them.

If that were the case, the circle’s retention rate wouldn’t have been as high as it is now.

however……

“Eeee!!! Put on some weight and do it again!!!!!”

“This isn’t enough. I need to be able to deal with a slightly larger number of enemies at once… … ”

“Master, I am a disciple who has not been in touch with you for a while. I would like you to teach me the secrets of our swordsmanship… … ”

A training fever was now sweeping the circle.

reason?

It was simple.

Because Ellis, who had already thrown a huge bait called Stella Class, threw another huge bait.

-Ah. Hello, everyone. I’m Ellis, the headmaster of the circle.

The students, each busy with their own daily lives, were startled by the sudden voice, but soon felt relieved.

Because I realized that the owner of the voice was Ellis.

“Whew, what the hell is going on all of a sudden?”

“That’s right. I was so shocked that I thought something had happened.”

“Huh? But wouldn’t it be better if something happened? You wouldn’t have to do your homework.”

“What if a villain suddenly appears and burns the report you stayed up all night writing?”

“I should kill him right now. Oh, no, I almost made a mistake. I should cut off his limbs and make him a body that can neither live nor die.”

While the students were chatting away in relief, the professors, on the other hand, were anxious.

I couldn’t even imagine what kind of work Ellis, who had already given me a big job called Stella Class, was going to give me this time.

In this situation where different emotions were slowly rising, Ellis calmly opened her mouth.

-As most of you probably expected, the reason I am making this sudden announcement is because I have something to say to you regarding the Stella Class.

After hearing this, most of the students lost interest in the broadcast and sat back down.

That would be the case, because the word Stella Class was a word that was very distant to them.

Of course, at first, they were excited by the new bait and wondered if they could get in there.

But now as time goes by.

“Did you hear that? This time, Han Si-yeon said that she didn’t want to bother fighting them separately, so she told them to fight all of them at once, and they fought 30 second-year students and won overwhelmingly?”

“I find Erio more interesting than him. Haven’t you guys heard the news? That a 4th year senior challenged Erio to get into Stella’s class, but got defeated in one attack.”

“If you’re going to talk about the scariest one, isn’t Kagura Rumi the most scary? They say she’s got a taste for destroying people, and she walks around in circles with a murderous aura?”

As it became clear one by one that the students who had secured a spot in Stella’s class were boasting monstrous skills, the challengers who were burning with fighting spirit towards them gradually disappeared.

Everyone in the circle succumbed to their skills.

And as if she knew the atmosphere, Ellis said lightly.

-After a brief test, we plan to admit a few additional people to the Stella class.

Bam-!

At Ellis’ one word, the students jumped to their feet again.

I was giving up because all the people holding the spot were monsters, but what if a new spot opens up?

‘I might have a chance too!’

And it turns out that there was actually an opportunity.

– We plan to allow students of all grades to participate in the additional participants, and the content of the test will be simple survival.

Hearing the word survival, the students’ will burned.

I thought I would have more opportunities if I wasn’t evaluated solely on my skills.

Even Ellis fired up the students’ will by saying that the additional personnel would be decided through the process, not the results.

But it was after Ellis’ next words that the circle really began to burn.

-I would like to take this opportunity to talk about the benefits given to students belonging to the Stella class.

Groan groan-

“Benefits? Was there something like that?”

“Don’t you know? This is my first time hearing about it?”

Students who were only concerned about the connections they could make by belonging to Stella’s class kept tilting their heads.

And to those students, Ellis calmly threw out a plan of conversion that she had prepared.

-There are many benefits, but… …First, I will grant one wish to each student who enters Stella’s class.

Shudder-!

Upon hearing that, all the students, regardless of class, stared blankly in the direction where the voice was coming from.

Even the professors were busy looking at each other with blank eyes as if they were wondering if what they had just heard was correct, which was proof of how shocking what Ellis had just said.

Of course, Ellis added a simple explanation to this statement, saying that the wishes had to be within her capabilities and that she would not grant criminal or other illegal acts, but the students did not listen to her.

Instead, the students quietly began to imagine all sorts of fantasies in their own heads.

And how much time has passed?

-I hope you continue to work hard and do your best today.

As soon as Ellis finished speaking.

Bam-!

“Get out of the way! I reserved this training room first!”

“Book! The book that contains the most important magic in survival!”

“Master! I, the uninvited disciple, send my greetings!”

Students stood up from their seats one by one and ran to the training room, library, and professors they usually didn’t visit to ask for teaching.

This was the moment when the era of extreme cultivation had begun.

“It really is just as you said.”

“I told you so.”

Shigure, who was being tested on the results of today’s training, rolled his eyes and asked at Do Yu-jin’s calm words.

“How on earth did you find out this information? It looks like it’s something only some of the teachers in the circle knew.”

“It’s complicated to explain, so I’ll just leave it like that.”

“Tsk, if I explain it, what would be added?”

Shigure turned his head away, grumbling softly.

But she still didn’t stop thinking about it.

‘Did you find out by using the devil’s power? By seducing a female professor?’

Shigure had been imagining this kind of thing a lot recently as he had been misunderstanding Do Yu-jin’s true identity.

But unlike Shigure’s imagination, Doyujin was right in avoiding the answer because it was really hard to explain.

‘It’s going as planned, but I never thought they’d throw in a wish ticket as a reward… … If that happens, things might get more complicated than I thought.’

After all, the person who came up with this plan to add more members to the Stella class through survival was none other than Do Yu-jin.

Shigure assumed that he had obtained this information by bribing or seducing one of the professors, but in fact, Doyujin’s strings went much further than that.

Even the string was quite thick and strong.

Specifically, to the point where he could devise a plan and then propose it directly to Ellis, the headmaster of the circle.

‘I’m a bit nervous about asking that person for help again when I already owe him one… But I guess it’s okay since we’re already entangled in a lot of things, right?’

To be honest, I was anxious, but there was nothing I could do.

To gather the main characters who are currently spread out in different places and doing different things in one place.

And in order to create a board that could deal with the two successors of the Black Dragon Society at once, Ellis’ power was absolutely necessary.

‘Yeah, it couldn’t be helped.’

Do Yu-jin consoled her bitter feelings like that, then asked Shigure, who was still looking at her with strange eyes.

“But what’s Heukwiryang doing these days?”

“Ah, that guy… … ”

Shigure closed his mouth slightly as he thought of the Black Dragon Society’s Lee Gongja and Black Weiliang.

And then he paused for a moment as if he didn’t know how to say this, and Do Yu-jin looked puzzled as he watched him.

“What’s wrong?”

“No, if that was the case, I would have reported it a long time ago.”

Shigure said that and then scratched his cheek.

“Just… …because it’s so absurd.”

What on earth is going on that’s causing this?

Shigure opened his mouth quietly as he saw Do Yu-jin tilting her head.

“He’s been chasing girls these days, so he’s neglecting everything else.”

“… … Chasing after a girl?”

“Yeah, I applied for a duel and lost badly, but she said she was the first woman to do that to me and I fell in love with her.”

After hearing that answer, Do Yu-jin stared blankly at Shigure, wondering what kind of nonsense this was, and then nodded helplessly.

“Yeah, well… … If that’s true, I don’t think it’ll affect our plans.”

“Right?”

“Yeah.”

With that, Do Yu-jin stopped worrying about Heuk Wi-ryang and went around the dungeons with Chabia to see what items she could buy with the points she had earned.

Then suddenly.

‘huh?’

A question arose in Do Yu-jin’s mind.

‘Wait a minute, you lost to me in the duel? Heukwiryang at this point?’

Heukwiryang was the second successor to the Black Dragon Society and was one of the ten first-year heroes along with Erio to Vista, Han Siyeon, Han Siwoo, Sunny Ozment, and Kagura Rumi.

‘So, the only guy who can beat him right now is… … Huh?’

At that moment, Do Yu-jin, who felt something very ominous, turned to Shigure and asked urgently.

“Wait a minute, who is that girl that Heukwiryang is chasing after?”

“Huh? You probably know her too? She’s so famous… … Oh, she’s right over there.”

Shigure stopped talking and pointed at a place with his finger.

And there.

“I told you to stop following me! You crazy stalker!”

“Kuheok!”

Han Si-yeon, who seemed like she hadn’t seen him in a long time, was throwing a full-force punch at Heuk Wi-ryang’s face.
