chapter 25
25 – Seohee Nam (1)
Due to the entrance exam, Arena Academy was crowded with people both inside and outside.
The student cafeteria, which was designated as a waiting area for test takers on the same day, was a crucible of chaos.
It is only natural that there is no sign of abating the noise as they gather around each school, each academy, and so on.
However, while there were some who moved their mouths hard to relieve tension while sharing information, there were also others who silently kept their mouths shut and waited for their turn to come.
And Nam Seo-hee, who sat closest to the entrance, belonged to the latter category.
‘… I want to leave quickly.’
The youngest daughter of Namgoong-min, the guild master of ‘Changgung’, one of the top 10 guilds in Korea. that was her
Awakening at the age of 14, following in the footsteps of her older sisters, she was talented as much as she was, but lacked motivation.
Her father, Namgoong-min, and other family members also did not want to burden her, so they did not ask for performance or grades, and for that reason, she was able to graduate from the specialized school with very good grades.
Even getting attention from someone bothered her, so she ignored her father’s strong opposition and deliberately went to a local specialized school away from Seoul to live in a dormitory.
‘… … I want to sleep.’
Originally, she planned to lie quietly at home after graduating from a specialized school, but because of her mother’s threats rather than threats, she had no choice but to apply to Arena Academy.
– You will be an adult next year, right?
-You fed, clothed, and raised them up until now, so from next year, live on the money you earned yourself.
-If you don’t like that, at least help your dad and older sisters with the guild work.
help with guild work
Entering the rift, hunting monsters, and collecting magic stones.
It’s annoying just thinking about it.
Of course, as it is a teenage guild, it is impossible to join just because you are a child of the guild master.
However, Nam Seo-hee’s skills were so outstanding that if he took a separate entrance test, he could join even now. It’s just that I never expressed it outwardly.
For that reason, Nam Seo-hee tried weighing.
Joining the guild now and joining the guild after graduating from the academy.
Which one can lead a more leisurely life?
The former would be annoying right now, but if I quickly established my position, I could sit in front of my desk and pass the time.
The latter could be guaranteed a free life for four years if they could maintain their grades.
Wanting rest right now rather than the future, she chose the latter, and as you see now, she was waiting for her turn to take the entrance exam.
“there.”
“… … ?”
Just when she was starting to get annoyed at this noisy place, five men and women approached her.
“Nam Seo-hee, right?”
There, a taller-looking man took a step forward and asked.
Seohee Nam nodded to the man’s question only after scanning the faces of the five people who seemed to be the same age as her.
“It’s okay to sit down for a while—”
The man couldn’t finish his words.
It was because the door of the restaurant that had been closed right next to it opened wide and an adult who seemed to be involved came inside.
The noisy restaurant quickly became quiet.
The official looked around the quiet restaurant, then brought the loudspeaker he was holding to his mouth and said.
[Students in Groups 1 and 2 can follow me. Groups 3 and 4 will pick you up in 20 minutes, so please prepare in advance. We will not send you anything like a bathroom on the way.]
An official lowered the loudspeaker and hundreds of people rose from their seats at the same time.
And among those hundreds, Nam Seo-hee was included.
The joy of finally being able to leave this noisy and boring place is fleeting.
“It looks like the same join.”
“… … .”
A group of people who had just approached calling her name also followed her out of the restaurant, bothering her.
“Ah, my name is Cheol-Min Park and I am a member of the Minos Guild… … .”
Then he starts introducing himself, which he doesn’t even want to know.
“This one… … .”
“Welcome… … .”
Starting with Park Cheol-min, the other four introduced themselves, but unfortunately, Nam Seo-hee could not remember the names of the five people, including Park Chul-min.
The purpose of the approach, regardless of interest, was so clear that she completely blocked her hearing using magical powers.
The name of a guild I had never heard of and five people who introduced themselves as their children.
‘… It’s just as my eldest sister said.’
The eldest daughter told me that each student who enters the academy has his or her own purpose, and among them, the people who should be kept away the most are the people who want to line up like these five people.
‘Not even the paparazzi… … .’
After awakening, his face would not be known to the media because he lived wearing a recognition-damping artifact.
How the hell did you find out and approach it?
The children belonging to the same teenage guild, who were really familiar with each other, kept a distance from each other, leaving only a light greeting.
After shutting off the sound for a while, she only withdrew the magic that was protecting her ears after entering the auditorium.
[From 1 to 30, to the far left. Numbers 31 through 60… … .]
Following the instructions of the official, Nam Seo-hee moved to the center.
“hahahaha, it’s the same group this time.”
“… … .”
Park Cheol-min, who had been bothering her, caught up with her again.
The fortunate thing is that the other four have dispersed.
“Yes. Welcome. First of all, we’ll measure your magic power, so please step forward one by one in numerical order and place your hand on this sphere.”
Following the supervisor’s instructions, the students began to move.
“Are you Nam Seo-hee, an examinee?”
“Yes.”
“Has confirmed. You can start.”
Nam Seo-hee briefly looked at the equipment several times larger than the mana measuring device he had seen at the vocational school, then placed his hand on a sphere that looked like a crystal ball.
‘Moderately… … .’
Then, an appropriate amount of mana was ejected toward the sphere.
– Beep.
The sphere emitted light with a short mechanical sound, and a small hologram floated above it.
[ 47 ]
“thank you for your effort. You can go ahead and keep going.”
“Yes. work hard.”
47 points. It would have been a little low if it was an Awakener of the Supernatural World, but it was a high enough number for Nam Seo-hee, who is a Ganghwa type.
After that, a simple stamina and reflexes test followed.
“Enhancement-type and conversion-type people go this way. People with superpowers can go to the left.”
The turn of the mock battle, which could be said to be virtually everything in the practical test, approached.
“Nam Seo-hee, an examinee?”
“Yes. This is Nam Seo-hee.”
“Please wait here for a while.”
“Yes.”
Following the supervisor’s guidance, she sat down in a chair prepared for her. And I looked at the space made of square transparent glass installed in front of me.
‘… It’s white.’
Nam Seo-hee’s attention was drawn to a girl fighting a monster composed of magical power extracted from a magic stone in a ‘summoner’, a product of magic engineering that combines magic and science technology.
A girl with white hair like the first snow in winter.
On top of her head were the ears of a beast with white hair growing like hair. And a fluffy tail that shows a little bit whenever you jump or roll.
‘It looks soft… … .’
How happy I would be if I slept hugging that tail.
Nam Seo-hee couldn’t take her eyes off the girl’s butt as she hopped around against Mantis, a giant mantis who wielded sharp forepaws like a scythe.
Nam Seo-hee’s mind was filled with the thought of wanting to hug the girl’s tail rather than the fact that he had the upper hand against the monsters set in the 5th stage, the final stage of the mock battle.
It was the time when the pure white girl tore out Mentis’ eyes with her sharp nails and was slowly putting an end to it.
“what. I will meet you here.”
“… … .”
Nam Seo-hee frowned for the first time.
Contrary to what he looked like, it was because Park Chul-min, who had a voice that strangely irritated people, was sitting right next to him.
As soon as he sat down, he started talking nonstop as if his mouth had a motor.
Nam Seo-hee thought that he was a man who couldn’t be reticent to the point that it was a waste to have him.
“what… do some But if I had avoided the front foot over there, it would have been better to aim for the leg right away.”
‘… … fool.’
It was Nam Seo-hee’s evaluation of Park Chul-min.
This man was evaluating a pure white girl who was taking an exam without knowing the subject.
Talking about what it would be like if it were him.
However, if you just listen to the words, Park Chul-min’s words were not so contradictory. The problem is that he didn’t notice that the girl who tore out Mentis’ eyes was running around without finishing even though he could.
The white girl was excited.
Even though he could finish it, he didn’t finish it and slowly cut off Mentis’ legs one by one.
Just like a satisfied beast playing with its prey for fun.
“It looks like a complete foreigner. I don’t think it’s bad to be close to someone with that level of skill… … .”
It is more spectacle to think that the eyes to see are poor.
“Let’s see.”
Park Chul-min sneaked up from his seat and used his tall key to peek at the tablet over the supervisor’s shoulder.
“hundred… one?”
‘… … ?’
Nam Seo-hee had the illusion that her eyes met momentarily with the girl who was playing inside the glass.
Park Cheol-min sat down again and smiled.
“How can a person’s name be Baekhana? It’s a really rough name.”

Right at that moment.
Mentis’ chest split in half and disappeared.
A wild beast that was playing with its prey suddenly tore it apart with a single blow.
Nam Seo-hee momentarily missed the girl’s movement.
Immediately, Mentis’ chest split.
The girl who tore the mantis turned around.
Creepy-!!
Nam Seo-hee had to experience goosebumps all over her body when her eyes met the blue pupils that were really torn like those of a beast.
It was a hostile gaze no matter who looked at it.
And Nam Seo-hee easily figured out the reason and cause.
‘This is absurd, but… … .’
The inside of the summoner completely blocks outside and inside noise.
But if the opponent ignores it and has the ability to hear the sound.
“Your eyes are really dirty.”
“… … .”
A white girl came out of the summoning machine. Then, exhaling a vicious energy, he came straight to the place where Nam Seo-hee and Park Chul-min were.
A rapidly closing distance.
“what. One-on-one momentum… .”
Damn-!!
Park Cheol-min roared across the floor with a very crackling sound.
The supervisor as well as the surroundings all focused on the place where Nam Seo-hee and Park Chul-min were.
Also, a pure white girl approaching her. Baek Ha-na also stopped walking with a puzzled face and stared blankly at Nam Seo-hee who slapped Park Chul-min on the cheek.
At that, Nam Seo-hee didn’t pay attention to the attention that was focused on her, brushed off the magical energy from her palms, and said with a very serious expression toward Baek Ha-na.
“I have nothing to do with this side.”
Fluffy tail.
She never wanted to give it up.
