Trial 1: Set a time limit of 3 hours.

‘Is it too hateful?’
Perhaps because of me, there were additional rules for the time limit in the ranking board.
When she came out with the promise of clearing from Professor Emeritus Sinatis, her face was flushed red.
-shaking
And his hands were trembling as if in anger.
It was a cute reaction for a guy called a monster.
Was it because he was a loyal and pure guy who looked only at the hero Krun in the novel?
No matter how hard it was for an ordeal 1 with no time limit, I thought it would come out if I said ‘out’ with the administrator’s authority…
I saw unexpected gains.
-I do not like you.
– Again, don’t come.
Anyway, that’s how I got pushed out of the chamber.
‘Still, I accepted your request to remain anonymous.’
Perhaps if I put my name up, the supporting passive will be activated and a penalty may be imposed again.
Besides, given my reputation, there will be quite a few people to object to.
Wouldn’t it be best to just bury it like this?
I rubbed my numb arm and turned on the status window.
“Stat.”

[Specialization]
Circle Magic (1)
Crossbow – Mastery(1) (new)
———————————————————
“Weave, weave.”
Is it because the basic stats are so low, or is it because of the amount of stat increase during the Reincarnation Hero Close Beta?
Despite receiving the reward for passing the ordeal, dramatic growth did not occur.
Still, there was a new phrase for specialization.
———————————————————
[Crossbow Mastery] [1]
[Based on half of the crossbow’s maximum range, the minimum accuracy is corrected to 50%]
[Critical Chance can now be applied to Crossbow]
———————————————————
“There is a reward for the hard work.”
It’s definitely the game system.
That the minimum proficiency to use a crossbow weapon has been accumulated.
However, if it was a different weapon, additional damage in proportion to magic power, strength, and divinity or special skill could be learned, but there was no such thing as a crossbow.
instead…
[Owned Gems: 5337]
“It’s salty.”
As far as being ranked 3rd, the rewards were very salty.
The entrance fee and basic funds are about 20000 gems, a whopping 5310 gems.
One gem is roughly equivalent to 100 won in Korean currency, so you have quite a bit of money in your hand.
From now on, I don’t think there will be any problems even if you use the cutting room and the practice room to your heart’s content.
A proper meal is also possible.
“As soon as I open the door to the gym tomorrow, I start to tighten my muscles.”
enthusiasm is rising
After all, he thinks he’s a bad character and acts disrespectfully, so it feels like he’s seeing the answer.
‘In such a case, it would be perfect if there was one anti-fatigue drug… ‘
It was already past midnight, so it was time to close all facilities such as cafeterias and canteens in the academy.
“Wait, is the black market open at this point?”
black market.
It refers to Suin, a mysterious bag merchant who appears in Chapter 2 of ＜Reincarnation Aka＞, and Gut, a fencer in the basement of the tavern.
It is easy to understand if you think of it as a second-hand marketplace that guarantees anonymity.
In the case of a bundle merchant, there is a simple trading system.
A way for cadet A to entrust the goods to a black market agent, and cadet B to purchase them.
Then, A and the agent distribute and receive this sales proceeds.
Since it was set up by prisoners in the villages near the academy, the smell of illegality prevails, and the system is very suitable for money laundering and dark transactions.
Therefore, in the work, the cadets are involved in this black market, and the detective concept story of the main characters progresses, and then completely disappears.
So, from now on, the available period is until Chapter 2, which is for a limited time.
‘Suck honey when it can suck.’
It’s before Chapter 1, so I don’t know what things there might be,
I have quite a bit of money, so can I buy anything?

Next to the Academy Business District, the Old Town.
On the street, where the lights seemed to go out at any moment, laborers working nearby gathered together to dance and dance.
-drink!
-Cheers!
According to the setting of ＜Reincarnation Aka＞, access to Claris Academy itself, established by direct contract with the Empire, is restricted, but since there is also a sanctuary in this adjacent village, it was also a base for wandering mercenaries to rest.
‘Coming here gives me a bit of a fantasy feel… ‘
In the dark, the winding alleyway was gloomy, but fortunately, the agent was not difficult to find.
“Come on… ”
A hair bar that greets me with a languid voice… no cat girl
It’s not water-hating, but they need to be careful as they are wandering around like gypsies without deciding where to live.
So, when selling goods, it is safer to find a fencer who pays a deposit rather than a prisoner.
Even in the novel, Edwin believed once in a while, but was properly protected.
“Let’s see something… ”
“Look at this slowly… ”
I searched for something useful from the items she had spread out in her bag.
.
.
.
“Well… ”

———————————————————
Maybe it’s because it’s in the early stages before the black market even appeared, and among the many miscellaneous things,
At least that was the only thing I could live with.
‘I’ll have to come back later to buy something better… ‘
The mermaid’s scream will come in handy here sooner or later.
When the academy’s curriculum starts and you take a lecture on the ability to respond to magical powers, there is the worst test that bald professor Harpan gives.
It is to find objects hidden in the lake by using mana detection ability.
The cadets also objected that it was not fair, because it was a test of the ability to respond on the surface, but in reality, it was at the level of submerging and seeing how much breathing was held.
According to the truth, Kaeran would take first place, and it would weigh down on Melissa’s pride in magic.
Here, the item he used as a giyeon attribute is the mermaid’s scream.
Come to think of it, he was also involved in the black market, so he might have saved it through this route.
In addition, there is no such thing as a hidden dungeon in the academy because it is an underwater dungeon.
2 bottles in stock.
‘I’ll buy them all.’
Kaeran is a villain. Just look at the attitude towards heroines.
You have to push Edwin the protector to avoid the Kaeran ending, so it’s right to cut out anything that seems to be of benefit to him, at least indirectly.
After choosing all the items, I asked the merchant.
“You don’t have a license to use the lab?”
“Because I don’t… ”
“Then, I will buy a ticket to use the sieve room.”
“30 gems… give it to me.”
Is this naughty bastard?
The academy’s list price is 25 gems.
It seems like I’m a freshman who hasn’t even stepped into the gym, so I’m willing to rip it off properly.
“So, what is this?”
When I heard the mermaid scream, she answered in a similarly shriveled voice.
“… 1000 Gems.”
‘Well then.’
It seems like it was a good idea to check the liver with a ticket for the sieving room in advance.
Feeling like singing one or two times the price of a poem?
I asked right away.
“Isn’t the regular price of the sedan room ticket 15 gems?”
“… … ”
It’s actually 25 gems, but seeing him silent, it worked.
I took the momentum and started haggling.
“I’ll go for 5 tickets and 400 potions.”
“12 gems 650 gems… ”
The guy did not back down easily even though he had a dreamy expression on his face.
A very naughty and shameless cat.
“A total of 500 gems.”
“600… I am sleepy… ”
– Ugh.
After saying that, he shows a stance of wrapping up a package, whether he is going to close the business or not.
“Then I’ll buy both bottles, so the total is 1100 gems. Put one of this vitality potion on it, please.”
“… as you like.”
So the deal was done.
He has a troublesome personality, so he has a habit of calling moderately when he has a lot to calculate.
‘I will report you later as an illegal street vendor.’
It’s a no-frills business for that side, but when you think about Hidden Peace, there’s nothing you can do about it.
If you have a car, you will be able to sajaegi…
It was when the deal was finished and I got out of the alley while organizing my belongings.
“Hello, junior?”
Someone came up behind me and whispered into my ear.
“… ”
And when I slowly turned my head, what I saw was,
A cadet uniform with dark black hair, tall, and a brooch symbolizing upperclassmen.
Even if it’s the first time you’ve met a woman, you can probably be sure.
It was Lilith, a black screen trying to turn ‘Rev Denek’ into a demon.
She smiled brightly in front of me.
“What were you doing here?”
