Became the Idiot Young Master Who Tormented the Main Character

60. Grade Test (11)

“next!”

My turn came, and I slowly stepped into the system room, holding an iron sword in my hand.

Near the entrance, a strong heat is felt from the flames surrounding Ignis’s body.

“Ku …

Before fully entering the system room, I turn around and glance at Hedi.

…she was looking at me clearly.

I might have been staring at the system room because it was Hedi’s turn right next.

But I wanted to believe that he hadn’t completely lost interest in me yet.

Because I didn’t want to break up with her.

When I first met her, she was the type to throw a punch at me without warning, but as we slowly became closer, she began to seep into my life.

A close friend with whom I shared my private life. I didn’t want to lose her.

[The system room closes.]

Woohoo… .

The gap in the system room that was open for a moment is soon completely sealed by a wall of magic power.

I stood facing Ignis in that confined space.

“Kuuu-!”

Now that the system room is closed, testing has already begun.

Ignis swung a long flame arm that seemed to be three times the size of a bear at me, as if he was not going to give me time to prepare.

-Kugu-kung!

The ground shakes due to a strong impact.

I thought as I dodged the attack by jumping lightly.

‘If you want to go to Class A, you absolutely must pass this test.’

I got a B during the first exam because I blanked out during the exam due to an unexpected 4-star realization.

If you get a low score on the second test, your chances of getting into Class A will decrease.

‘But…. It shouldn’t attract too much attention.’

Because I had to save Rosaria during the tournament, I activated my aura in front of all the grades.

If I drew any more attention, there might be more people questioning my identity and trying to dig into it.

If the truth about that rascal who has been harassing women gets revealed,

Even if you make it to Class A, your life at the academy will most likely be a struggle.

“Ku …

Ignis breathes flames from around his blazing mouth.

I thought again, spinning in the air and narrowly avoiding the attack.

So, what is the next best option I should take in this situation?

‘Pretend to fight Ignis moderately, then defeat him at an appropriate time.’

The key to this plan is to appear to be a lucky defeat.

“Put the pressure down!”

I took a big leap forward.

I see Ignis looking up at me from below.

From now on, I have to fight with the Ignis you see below for 10 minutes.

The first thing to do for him is to fake a mistake and dent the core inside Ignis’ chest.

If the core is damaged, Ignis will be weakened and move significantly slower.

… Usually, students have little knowledge about spirits, so they wouldn’t even know that spirits have nuclei.

Even if you know, there is a high chance of failure because you won’t be able to get close to the attacks that Ignis unleashes.

However, I recently reached the beginning of the 4-star realm.

Dodging the slow attacks of intermediate spirits is as easy as lying down and eating a cookie!

‘Okay…! Let’s execute the plan right away!’

My body is falling with increasing acceleration through the air.

“Ku …

Ignis reaches out with his two giant hands to grab me and burn me to death.

No way. When that guy tries to grab me, I’ll just throw a very subtle aura at him and counterattack.

Afterwards, it quickly reaches the inside of the chest and dents the core!

‘Perfect!’

That was the moment I thought.

-Whirlirick!

-Ding!

‘uh…?’

I reflexively swatted away something that suddenly flew towards me from the air.

It was a dagger.

‘What, what! Where did that dagger come from?!’

Then the urgent voices of the professors outside were heard.

“Now, wait a minute! The assimilation rate between the system room and the real world is increasing!”

“What?! What do you mean?!”

“I don’t know! The controls suddenly changed!”

“Stop the test! Professor Leaf! Quickly, release the spirit summons…!”

The system room and reality assimilation rate figures are going up?!

So if I die here, I’ll die in reality too?! What the…!

‘Oops!’

Ignis appears close to my eyes.

I couldn’t even cast Aura because I was trying to ward off a dagger that suddenly flew at me.

“Kuuu-!”

Things were on the verge of going from bad to worse.

‘Dad, come here quickly!’

-Cookies!

So, I collided with Ignis.

*

“Knock knock knock!”

The acrid smoke from the burning flame passes through every corner of my body.

A silence reigned throughout the facility.

‘I almost got screwed… .’

It was a close call.

Since I had reached 4 stars, I was able to cast Aura faster than usual and cut Ignis in two, stopping him from moving.

If I had been even a little late, I would have been crushed to death by the huge flames.

‘Who is in charge of manipulating the system to make such an absurd mistake…!’

I walked out of the system room in a hurry and looked around.

Then I realized another mistake.

“…ah.”

Students preparing for exams, students in the audience, and professors leading or guiding students.

The entire population within the facility was focused on me.

I was flustered and hesitated as I suddenly felt like I had become an idol on stage.

The cause was behind me.

The gigantic body of Ignis, neatly split into two, lies collapsed inside the system room.

It was as if it had been struck by a sword larger than Ignis’s body.

‘This is fucked.’

Now I understand why everyone was looking at me with such surprise.

This is like me advertising that I am a guy who easily skipped the 3-star rating.

It was a reflexive action taken because I felt my life was in danger due to the circumstances.

“City, city-! Defeat success! 29 seconds!”

It was at that time that the clueless assistant student was reporting the results to everyone.

-Knock knock knock knock!

From a distance, I saw someone running towards me with a sword.

‘Iris…?’

It was Iris. She was running towards me with her eyes wide open and her long, ash-colored hair fluttering in the wind.

She is getting closer to me.

I felt a threat to my life when I saw those scary eyes that looked like they were going to cut me at any moment.

At that moment, I was about to raise my sword without even knowing English.

-Whew!

‘Huh…?’

Iris passed me by.

And at the same time, someone’s groan was heard.

“Ahhh-!”

The direction from which the groaning sound came was inside the system room.

A strange man was in pain, clutching his bleeding leg inside the system room.

Iris said, looking down at him from close range.

“He was using stealth. He was trying to target the students of Xi’an again. Also, I sense an unusual and ominous magical response from this person.”

“What did you say-?!”

All the professors quickly listened to Iris’s words and began to take battle stances.

Some students were backing away in fear.

In that situation, I thought.

‘You were trying to target me…? If that’s true, then the dagger that flew in earlier… .’

It was clear what the weirdo, who was currently groaning and holding his leg, had done.

Because once the system room is closed, there is no outside intervention.

If he had thrown the dagger, he would have thrown it from inside, not from outside.

You said you were using stealth… You must have been waiting for the right timing.

But why me?

“Kuuu… You disgusting magic fanatics. If you think you’ve won, you’re mistaken!”

An ominous aura emanates from his body.

The ominous aura began to take shape, then changed into the shape of tentacles and quickly rushed towards me.

-Phew!

““… … !””

It was stuck in my stomach.

“Gyaaah!”

“What, what?! There’s something on his body…!”

The students screamed in fear.

The tentacle that was stuck in slowly lost its shape and disappeared. It had been absorbed into my body.

I didn’t feel any particular pain or sensation. But….

‘Is this pattern again?’

My danjeon was flowing backwards.

“Hahahahahaha! If you mess with the Black Magic Cult, you’ll all end up like that boy! Keuk-!”

Iris quickly cuts off the assailant’s head and rushes towards me.

“My lord!!”

Pupils shaking from side to side due to fear.

A face that lost its composure in a way that was not typical of Iris.

… It was the first time I saw Iris’ expression like that.

‘But you don’t have to worry, Iris.’

I placed my hand gently on her waist.

-Wow.

Then, the danjeon slowly begins to be purified.

By the time Iris approached, the reflux had completely stopped.

“Are you okay, Mr. Cyan?!”

“Yes. There’s nothing wrong. You don’t have to worry.”

“… … !”

Wow.

A cozy and warm feeling.

Iris hugged me.

“Thank goodness… .”

Iris’s body could be felt shaking slightly.

I felt once again that she truly cared about me.

When a smile breaks out in gratitude.

“Huh, what-? Iris-sama?!”

“Come on! To the infirmary!”

Iris picked me up and started running.

It was a ridiculous posture, like carrying a load on one shoulder.
