NOVEL NEXT chapter 32
32 – An absurd thought
“Are you going to have a sparring with three professors?”
“Really?”
“Yes. I say so.”
“I was a student who did a lot of nonsensical things from the beginning, but… I’ll get it right now.”
Two professors who came after taking the 6th grade exam enter the exam hall with absurdity. Professor Rosemary smiled brightly at the thought of suppressing that rude fellow and entered with them.
Daman was still standing in the exam room with a careless attitude, fiddling with his wand and staff. An intolerable sneer forms on Professor Rosemary’s lips.
“What is that? Dayman student? The shape of a general staff and a wand is very different. Could it be that it is a custom made product?”
“Ah. Yes. That’s right. Isn’t this illegal?”
“It is not illegal. Whether you can handle it is another matter.”
“Ah. Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll handle it well. Ha ha ha!!”
The strangely curved S-shaped staff. The wand is also curved euphemistically. And the tip part was molded in the shape of a crow’s head. Professor Rosemary couldn’t contain her bursts of laughter.
“Catching poop is at that level of art.”
Professor Rosemary did not know the specific performance of that wand and staff.
No.
There was no need to know, she thought.
A sluggish child of Kalidos who is famous for being a fool. Isn’t he a dull-jae with intelligence famous for being a retarded child? It was clear that Bonama had prepared a wand and staff that looked good even on the outside in order to impress Bamona and Lady, as before. Thanks to the warrior party, none of the professors and students here.
I didn’t notice that the design of that staff and wand was the same shape as the symbol of the organization that once made the entire Demon Tribe and Demon King’s army tremble.
“Come on. I have summoned three professors at will. Are you satisfied?”
“Ha ha!! Yes!! I am satisfied. Wait a minute.”
Daman takes out his cell phone and sets things up. If you look closely, it’s an alarm.
“Students! Noble professors to judge. Hello! Heh heh heh!! My name is Dayman!!”
Dayman greets everyone with the tone of an old man. He picks up his cell phone
“I heard from my student Seria that I should start by telling everyone about the exam I have prepared, so I am going to introduce it. I will have the three professors over there lie on the floor within three minutes!!”
Laughter erupted from the crowd when the mobile phone set on the 3-minute alarm was lifted.
Sneering was only possible up to a point.
It was just ridiculous to talk nonsense like that.
“Wow! So cool! I wish you success.”
“Dayman!! Dayman!! Dayman!!!”
“We are crazy! Awesome!!!!”
Voices of open mockery burst forth.
Of course, that wasn’t the slightest bit sincere.
“Daman. As you said, we will finish the test within 3 minutes, so please go to a mental hospital after being expelled.”
Professor Rosemary’s sarcastic remark touched the hearts of everyone here.
Ah.
Of course. Only two were the opposite.
“Yoo Seol-ah Sojeo.”
Princess Ophelia looks at Yoo Seol-ah with an expression that says that she is too absurd even if the contents of the test are absurd. Yoo Seol-ah just smiled at those words.
“Let’s watch. It is better to see it once than to explain it a hundred times.”
As soon as Yu Seol-ah finished speaking, Dayman pressed the alarm button on her cell phone and started to walk confidently in front of her.
“Come on! So let’s start!!! Can I do it right now?”
“Yes. We’ll get you started as quickly as you like. When the bell rings, you can start sparring.”
“Ah! Is that so? All right!!!”
Dayman takes the cardinal expression.
This is the first attitude.
A posture with a long stick tilted at 45 degrees and sticking it close to the body with the wand out. It was a posture refined by a very practical necessity, but in the eyes of the professors, it was nothing more or less than sh*t.
“Haa……..Let’s start quickly.”
Two 6th grade professors urged them as if they were being ridiculous, and the exam progressing staff rang the bell after shouting to get ready as if they knew it!! It rang.
“Let’s get started!! An annihilating wrath!!……..”
Professor Rosemary and the other two professors in the Faculty of Engineering didn’t seem to feel the need to form formations or anything. The two professors from the Faculty of Knights stood still without drawing their weapons from behind, and only Professor Rosemary came forward and cast magic.
It was an attitude that showed that there was no need for even two knights to step out.
Dayman clicked his tongue when he saw it.
“This way, I’ll finish it in seconds instead of three minutes.”
Deiman’s wand is swung with sincerity.
Professor Rosemary, who had just memorized the chant, was empty!!! With a roar, something hits him in the face, turns 180 degrees, and lands on the floor.
“What?……… Kkeok!!!”
Something flies at high speed to the faces of the two professors of the Faculty of Engineering, who were worried about what to do after this stupid test is over while looking elsewhere. There was no time to take out the sword or defend.
As a price for being openly vigilant, the two professors, like Professor Rosemary, were hit hard in the face, performed a 180-degree aerial flight, and were crushed to the ground.
2 Seconds.
It was the time it took for all of this to happen.
“……Huh?”
“What?”
“Why are professors like that?”
A murmur ensues.
Since the absurd scene was shown, the audience did not freeze like Seria did. Everyone thought it was more like a fool’s play, but no one thought Dayman had won.
“Tsk tsk. Like fools. What would you do if you were openly careless during a fight? Hey!! A bachelor ringing the bell!!!”
“Yes? Me, me?”
“Go get some medics!!”
“Oh, I see.”
It wasn’t until after the medical staff came up to the examination room that everyone started to mumble after witnessing the horribly crushed faces of the professors.
“Why are professors’ faces like that?”
“I don’t know!! No, what the hell happened?”
“Is it true? Three professors?”
The medical staff hurriedly restored the horribly crumpled faces of the professors using divine magic and medicine, and as soon as they were cured, the three fainted professors jumped up from their seats.
“What happened?”
Professor Rosemary didn’t even understand what had happened, and the two professors from the Faculty of Engineering were similar.
“It seemed like something was flying, but…”
At least the professors of the Faculty of Engineering did see something. But that was their limit too.
“You lost to me!! As promised, I knocked down three professors within 3 minutes!! How are you guys!!!”
Dayman smiled brightly and said that to everyone, but everyone just booed.
“You must have cheated on something!! That crazy bastard!!”
“I need to check that bastard’s wand and staff!! You must have tampered with the calculation system!!!”
The opinions of the students and the professors were the same.
Everyone was causing cognitive dissonance in such an unprecedented situation.
“Daman. I think I’ll have to check the wand and staff.”
One of the judges’ professors came down and said that, and Dayman shrugged and held out his staff and wand to him. After watching the staff and the wand for a while, the professor soon widens his eyes in astonishment.
“Isn’t there no calculation system at all?”
“Yes. If there is another mana calculation system different from the caster, it will only cause confusion. So I just asked them to remove the arithmetic system. Instead, he asked for an amplification core to be tightly packed in its place.”
“Yes, how many are included?”
“350 Sticks. There are 70 of them in the wand.”
The professor looks at Dayman as if he is absurd.
“Yeah, is it possible to control it that way?”
Dayman nods his head as he clears his ear. It was such an arrogant bad attitude.
“Yes. I can professor. Anyway my test. Can you say that it passed? Will you give me a good grade?”
“Uh……”
“That score should be good. I have someone to look good for.”
Professor Rosemary jumps up in anger at Dayman’s words, who don’t hesitate to make absurd remarks.
“I can’t admit it!! The three professors suddenly collapsed!! It is possible that some unauthorized magic was used!!”
“Yes. You will have to retake the test. What you just did is invalid.”
“If we can repeat the same process once again with the staff we prepared, we will admit it.”
At the words of the three professors, the professor came down from the judging table and put on a puzzled expression.
“What the heck… this is unprecedented even for us. This is so……”
“You should also keep in mind the possibility that a special magic has been installed in the test room in advance. Don’t you remember student Dayman’s history?”
I was not good enough on my own, so I came armed with an over-tuned magic sword made by the staff of the workshop and all sorts of artifacts that narrowly cut the line between illegal and legal. Goes through the minds of professors. There was no possibility of that happening at all.
“Okay. I admit the possibility of committing an illegal act. Let’s retest.”
“No! No retest! As I said, didn’t you bring three professors down within 3 minutes!!! Isn’t it normal to pass without being retested? I heard from Seria that A+ is the highest, so please give me that!!!”
“In common sense, does it make sense for a sluggish child like you to bring down three professors? Staff and wands will be prepared by us. We will proceed with the retest after confirming that illegal magic has not been planted in the test site in advance.”
“…….Heh heh heh. Are you doing this ugly because you can’t admit defeat? Professors?”
It was only Dayman who looked at the three professors as if he was absurd, but the professor was also confident. The professors seemed to believe that, considering all the fuss that Dayman had made to pass the exam, there must have been something absurd this time around.
“I will admit one thing. The fact that the preparations were thorough to the extent that the three of us suddenly fell to the ground. I don’t know what kind of foul he used, but if he confidently defeated us with his own skills, try defeating us with the newly prepared staff. Then I will admit it.”
“……True. Such an absurd thing. Got it. Do as you commanded. Yes.”
Daman, dissatisfied, leaves his staff and wand with the professor, then grumbles and walks to one side. The crowd was full of hum and the professors were busy examining the testing room and Deiman’s staff and wand to find out what kind of illicit methods had been used. Dayman, who crouched quietly in the corner and watched the scene, finally realized what the cause of the problem was.
“……That’s right. Is it because you won so overwhelmingly that you have cognitive dissonance?”
It was truly a deplorable era.
An era in which people are openly suspicious of manipulation without recognizing pure skills because they only look at the world with stereotypical standards. Of course, there will be karma done by the previous owner of this body, but no matter how much you wear the title of professor, isn’t it normal to have a glimpse of Dayman’s skills?
But this was the reality. Thanks to this, Dayman had to start having absurd thoughts that he had never done before in his life.
“If you win too overwhelmingly, you will be suspicious of manipulation again……. I have to play with those people while pretending to fight nicely in an appropriate line……. Glitch . How much do you have to hide your strength to look like you’re fighting reasonably well?”
