chapter 4
Episode 4
“What the hell is he doing?”
“You just keep your hands open.”
The children were giggling.
However, it was visible in the teacher’s eyes.
A transparent crystal of magical power gathered on his hand and condensed into a ball.
Kelin has been researching magic taxonomy for a long time.
That’s why I know how great it is.
The color of mana most people have is blue.
This is the same reason that human blood is red.
However, sometimes there are people whose mana color is different from others.
The colors varied.
Red, green, white and so on.
Among them, the rarest color was by far the transparent one.
Depending on the color of mana, the nature of mana is generally different.
Red is a gentle mana. It is very easy to handle, but has low explosive power.
Everything about blue mana was average.
On the other hand, transparent colored mana has strong explosive power, but is difficult to control.
If you try to keep it in one form, it’s because mana will keep leaking out.
That’s why it’s much harder to control than normal blue mana.
But, what the hell is that Nam Do-yoon guy?
I managed to maintain that uncontrollable transparent mana for 30 seconds without incident.
Cha Ji-yoon and Radeon, who maintained the shape of a soccer ball for 10 seconds with blue mana in front, are obviously amazing.
However, after 10 seconds, they did not retain their spherical shape at all.
With that level of mana control, if they had transparent mana, they wouldn’t have been able to form a sphere in the first place, let alone maintain it.
A guy named Doyoon Nam did it for 30 seconds.
That doesn’t even look like it’s difficult at all.
Having that level of mana control is only possible for hunters on active duty.
How many years did you have to train to have that mana control?
5 Years old? 6 Years old?
No, maybe mana awakening was faster than learning the language.
No, even so, that controllability is inexplicable.
‘Genius.’
The only way to describe him is that he is a genius.
Kelyn wrote on her test paper in her own hand.
Jiyoon Cha – 90 points.
Radeon – 90 points.
Nam Doyoon – 100 points.
She grinned.
This new student is a satisfactory student.
“Congratulations. Passed.”
The teacher said to Nam Do-yoon.
“Thank you.”
Namdo Yoon bowed his head.
The children asked back.
“Yes? What did you do?”
“I didn’t see anything?”
The teacher said with a frown.
“Then, shall we raise our hands for the students who are not convinced that he passed?”
In an instant, the children raised their hands.
But, only three people. Radeon, Cha Ji-yoon, and Baek Ye-bin quietly looked at Nam Do-yoon without raising their hands.
Those three are worth keeping an eye on.
Perhaps even those children haven’t seen the spherical shape being made with transparent magic.
But they seemed to be feeling it.
That a child named Nam Do-yoon made something using transparent mana.
At the student level, just feeling that is great.
The teacher smiled.
****
“Come on. Then the next test teacher will come in here, so she’s waiting for a while.”
The teacher started walking slowly toward the entrance while talking to her.
The children stared blankly at the scene.
“Those who were eliminated, please leave quickly.”
With those words, the teacher closed the door and left.
A child walked toward me, huffing and puffing.
“Hey.”
“…?”
I didn’t understand why so I looked at him.
“Did you buy it?”
What bullsh*t are you talking about?
I ignored it lightly.
Then he tapped me on the shoulder and said.
“I didn’t do anything, but how did I pass?”
“You can see as much as you know.”
“What?”
The guy started to cheer up.
“You say it again. What did you say?”
“You can see as much as you know.”
“This bastard.”
The guy pulled his arm all the way back.
Soon after that, his fists started flying into my face.
“Is that guy hitting you first? Getting hit in the first place is self-defense, but one hit kills me, right?”
Yebin said with a grin as if this scene was exciting.
She doesn’t seem to want to stop at all.
If I get hit by that fist, I’ll die instead of counterattacking.
If I get hit by that fist, I won’t even be able to pick a bone.
Wedge-
The fist is flying.
I can see it, but my body can’t keep up.
Is it so pointless to die? The moment I thought about it.
Puck-
Suddenly, the trajectory of the fist changed.
Someone right next to me kicked the guy who had been punching me.
“Ah… What kind of X meal.”
The guy looked up with a frown.
“Me? What should I do?”
There stood Radeon, the youngest son of a famous swordsman.
“Ah… Nothing.”
The guy immediately lowered his eyes.
“Why are you okay? Tell me more Didn’t you have something to say to me?”
“Ah… Nothing.”
In an instant, the boy’s voice became low.
“You can see as much as you know. I agree.”
Radeon looked at me and said.
“What?”
“What you just did. Did you release transparent mana?”
“What!?”
At that moment, the surroundings started to buzz.
“Maybe you couldn’t make it to the sphere shape, but you seem to have succeeded in making other shapes? Like a triangle or a square?”
“He said he felt transparent magic. But have you seen what it looks like?”
“Actually, I could feel the transparent magic, too, but I couldn’t see what form it was. I think the teacher saw it.”
“…..”
“Because transparent mana is amazing just by creating different forms. Even if it’s not necessarily the old shape, it deserves a passing grade. That’s great, isn’t it?”
“I didn’t make a specific shape.”
“Then what? Did you really make a sphere shape?”
“…….”
He didn’t want to give an answer.
“Hmm- if you don’t want to answer anything, you don’t have to.”
He waved his hand and went back to his seat.
By the way, there is something that has been bothering me ever since.
I turned to Cha Ji-yoon.
She turned her head away.
Ever since I made the transparent orb of magical power, I could feel Cha Ji-yoon’s gaze on me.
Following that gaze, when I look at her, she turns her head away as if she wasn’t looking.
What the hell…
Kikki-
At that moment, the door opened and a new teacher entered.
After that, other children rushed in, as if they had passed at another test center.
“You can sit over there.”
It looks like he’s taking the test with the other test center kids like the last test.
The children from the other testing centers went to the empty seats and sat down.
“Hello everyone.”
Kaleido looked at the remaining students one by one before meeting my eyes.
Then he grinned contentedly.
“What. There are some students I met at the 1st test center, and there are quite a few students who didn’t. Well, I’m going to go to the middle of the day, and I’m going to have a good time. This test is a test that you can pass by fighting monsters and winning.”
“Are you fighting real monsters?”
The children said puzzled.
That’s right, if you actually fight monsters, you may get irreversible injuries.
By the way, would you just do that in the entrance exam?
“No. You will fight monsters implemented as holograms. However, if it is judged that the hologram will cause you to die, you will be disqualified.”
“Do you fight alone?”
“No. You will fight in a team of two. However, Joe grouped similar levels together. Only then can we assign monsters of the appropriate difficulty level to that group.”
“If you are at a similar level, on what basis?”
“I grouped students who seemed to have similar skills. Oh, of course, these are just my standards, so if you don’t like it, you can change the group. Because there are no disadvantages.”
Then the eyes of the children turned to the two.
It is Cha Ji-yoon and Radeon.
“Of course you two are a team, right?”
“Right. Honestly, are there any other people besides Radeon who are on the same level as Cha Ji-yoon?”
“Let me announce Joe. Group 1 is OOO, OOO…..”
He kept talking like that.
“Ah. I also really wanted to do it with Cha Ji-yoon.”
Students glanced at Cha Ji-yoon and said.
“Awake from the dream. I have Radeon, how are you with me?”
“Group 9 is Radeon and Baek Ye-bin”
Hearing those words, the surroundings were buzzing.
“What? Radayin and Baek Yebin? Then, who the hell is Cha Ji-yoon hanging out with?”
“Team 10 is Cha Ji-yoon and Nam Do-yoon.”
“Yes? How… why?”
The children alternately looked at me and the teacher with questioning eyes.
“It’s obviously great, but… Doesn’t that seem like it?”
Radeon tilted his head.
“Teacher. Can I ask you a question?”
Then he raised his hand.
“Yes. It’s okay.”
“As the group numbers go backward, the professor thinks the students are more talented, right?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
The teacher said with a grin.
“Then the monsters will be stronger the further you go, right?”
“I guess so, right?”
The teacher grinned.
“Then, of course, the stronger the monster, the higher the score?”
“Yes. You’re right.”
Radeon quickly approached me.
“Would you like to switch with me? I’m in Group 9, wouldn’t that be much easier to pass?”
“…..”
“Of course, you are amazing too. Never ignore it However, if it was a group of 10, it would probably be a very strong monster, wouldn’t that be unreasonable? That teacher must have misjudged something.”
“….”
He is right.
The 9th group of monsters is probably much easier than the 10th group of monsters.
Of course, the chances of passing the exam will go up a lot.
He caught 10 trillion monsters and aimed to enter the school with a high rank.
All I have to do is go into class 9 and pass the admissions cut-off.
A good deal for both of us.
“Okay… “
The moment I try to say I like it.
Ttogak Ttogak-
I turned my head towards the sound.
Cha Ji-yoon was walking this way.
“How is it? Wouldn’t it be better if you were with me too?”
Radeon told her.
She continued to stare at me without saying a word.
And she said.
“…I will do it with this person.”
What the heck…Why?
