Became the Academy’s Munchkin Power Priest

27 – Final group evaluation

“Huh!”

Quang!

A cheerful metallic sound echoed through the Grand Gym.

“Are you okay?”

“Hmm…. Core is fine. Breathing is good too. Keep your weight slightly back and go for a feeling of control with the back of your thighs. And I think I need to put on some more weight.”

After the group evaluation, the exercise continued.

Nathan started asking me various things to see if I had adjusted myself.

Perhaps his job was a monk, he had excellent physical adaptation and resilience.

“Hey, more here?”

“There is no right answer to exercise, but high weight is good for hypertrophy. In addition, the Romanian deadlift is efficient with high weight.”

Nason did as I said and brought the disc. What he held in his hand was a 10-kilo disc.

“Heh heh, two 20kg, please.”

“Everyone, I think I’ll get hurt….”

“What is the problem? It’s okay if your back is broken. If I don’t die, I will be by Nathan’s side.”

“… Okay.”

Nathan replied reluctantly.

I counted next to him and corrected his posture.

“Whoa. But how did you figure out how to train like this? It’s really amazing.”

“I knew it before I was born.”

“Since you say it, it really seems like it. But can I touch it just once?”

“Heh heh, muscles are meant to be touched.”

I worked on my biceps.

Nathan exclaimed and compared it to his own arm.

… Hmm?

At that moment, someone grabbed the other arm from the side.

When I looked up, I was startled and withdrew my hand.

“Oh…. Sorry.”

“Don’t be too surprised. But…. Echina-sama, is your workout over?”

There was no sweat visible on her body.

“No…. I did it with the weight I told you last time, but strangely it wasn’t too hard….”

I touched her palm. Her hard calluses were palpable.

“You finally have the basic skills as a swordsman. Great. Try increasing the weight by 5 kg.”

“Bur, will you give me a buff?”

Echina’s body was transforming like a knight. Of course, her dependence on buffs was still there.

“I like people who sweat.”

Echina went to her gym without a word.

I turned to Liae who was doing a hammer curl.

Her The moment she saw her, her sigh flowed without even realizing it.

“Elbows! Elbow! Did I tell you to move your elbows? And why is the weight still in this shape? Who asked you to see me? When you exercise, I told you to focus on that area.”

As Lee lifted the dumbbell, her face turned red.

Good. Aroused emotions were effective in exercise efficiency.

She raised her dumbbells with a groan.

I ordered Cleo de to do her bare body exercises, but her posture was still good.

While I was watching the posture of the members, Chloe came in.

“Bird, there are more people than I thought? It’s a little hot in here.”

As soon as she arrived, as if to show off her suppleness, she leaned one leg against the wall and pulled her body apart.

“Didn’t I tell you not to stretch like that before a workout? I was told to solve it mainly for the joints.”

“… Sorry.”

I went back and checked the posture of the members.

“Ah….”

It was Chloe’s voice.

She was doing a bench press, and her arms were shaking. Compared to other exercises, her posture was unstable.

“Hmm, definitely lacking breasts compared to other places.”

“Puak!”

Chloe’s face turned red, and she was eventually crushed by her barbell.

When I lifted the barbell instead, Chloe jumped to her feet.

“My breasts are not enough….”

Chloe suddenly felt depressed. She sat down again and started lifting the barbell. Again, inflamed emotions are effective for exercise efficiency.

Today, ahead of the final evaluation, I promised to go out with the members.

We met right after the workout after washing our bodies.

I went through the main gate and headed to Sentia District, where the downtown area in front of the academy was formed. In fact, even if I came out, there was nothing big to do. About dinner.

Of course, it wasn’t a boring place to come out to the city to have a meal and head back right away. We strolled leisurely through the orange colored city and enjoyed the scenery.

As I was waiting for dinner to come, a man called me. He is by title, not by name.

“Eh, Grand Priest?”

When I turned my head, second-class priest Hae-yeon was standing there. He smiled broadly and ran over and grabbed my hand.

“No, how long has it been? I thought I was going to become a teacher because the high priest said he was going to Visilia. How is life at the academy?”

“Heh heh…. What are you doing here?”

“No, the Pope sent me to build a new temple here. But these people….”

Heon looked at the members who were following me. I smiled awkwardly and turned my head.

The faces of the members….

He looked dazed. Faces like what are you talking about?

That’s because my crew didn’t know that I was the high priest.

“Here are my friends….”

“Go ahead and do your work.”

Heon saw my expression, bowed his head as if he knew what I was doing, and moved his steps.

“Heh heh, you don’t have to worry too much about it.”

The crew found out that I was the high priest.

It doesn’t matter to me….

I tried to speak with a smile so as not to make it awkward as much as possible, but the members’ faces were already hardened.

Unlike the noisy moments before, there was only silence.

The behavior of the members was somewhat awkward.

I opened my mouth before the food was served.

“Are you paying attention to what he said earlier?”

Of course I was nervous, but I spoke deliberately to break the awkward silence.

Nathan was the first to speak.

“A while ago…. They say it’s an ambassador. Gee, is it real?”

I would feel burdened if I found out that I was the high priest, but there was no need to lie outright.

“Heh heh, even if I’m the high priest, it doesn’t change that I am your friend, right?”

No one opened their mouth after my words.

Nason seemed to need some time to think, and Cleod was only looking at the table to see what he was looking at.

Liae….

It wasn’t much different from usual. He probably knew that I was the High Priest on the day I defeated Tyrius and the Warlock.

Finally, Eki looked at me with her mouth wide open.

“Yes…. If it’s Gran, it’s understandable.”

Nathan opened her mouth cautiously.

After learning that he was a high priest, the members of the group became cautious. It was as if he was dealing with a superior for a long time.

“But…. Then age….”

Apart from being a high priest, he must have thought he was older.

“Heh heh, we are the same age. We’re friends, so don’t worry too much. But…. I think it would be better not to tell other friends.”

I didn’t care much if others knew I was the high priest. I was worried that I would have many friends who would treat me uncomfortable.

“Ah, yes. Okay. I’m sure the other kids are uncomfortable…. Oh, I’m not saying I’m uncomfortable.”

“Then I’m glad. I hope others will treat you as comfortably as before.”

The other members, including Nathan, also nodded. Even so, the awkwardness during the meal did not disappear.

***

It was the last week of the group evaluation.

I was committed to raising the stamina of the members before the final evaluation. It was a short time of only two weeks, but my stamina has noticeably improved.

After hard training, the awkwardness has decreased a lot. But rather than a friend, I felt like I was treated as a team leader or a senior.

The last evaluation was to escape the virtual dungeon.

As the name suggests, the evaluation was to escape from a virtual dungeon within the academy.

All evaluation factors were concentrated on escaping this dungeon. I had to catch a virtual monster, and it was possible to battle with other groups.

Inside the dungeon, you had to collect as many keys as there were people to escape. Of course, it could have been stolen from the other group.

Florina showed me a map of the virtual dungeon, but it didn’t make any sense to actually look at it. Because he was ridiculously wide. It was most amazing that such a large virtual dungeon existed in the basement of the academy.

The biggest feature of the last evaluation was not that only our class members participated. A total of five classes participated, and about 200 people took the test at once.

“We will avoid friction with others as much as possible and focus on escape.”

“Wouldn’t he run away if he saw Gran anyway?”

“Heh heh, other classmates don’t know me well. Anyway, I hope we all succeed in escaping this test together.”

“Yes, I will try.”

Li Ke nodded her head and said.

Different from the original golem elimination evaluation and group battle evaluation, we decided to do our best.

It doesn’t seem to matter much whether you stick to your role as a priest or not.

So, I avoided friction as much as possible and set the direction to peace mode. If you start a battle with me, the opponent will inevitably be eliminated.

“Everyone, stop procrastinating and go inside.”

A male teacher guarding the dimensional gate said.

“Now then, let’s try our best.”

I looked at the crew and said.
