NOVEL NEXT chapter 1
1 – 01. For now, the exam continues
Illegal behavior caught during the entrance exam
All the prospective cadets started whispering, and the examiner didn’t like it.
“Quiet everyone! The test isn’t over yet!”
“”””………””””
This incident happened, but the exam is not over
Hypnosis. A person who causes ‘hypnosis’ without inflicting other physical pain or artificially increasing the ability appeared.
The power to become a puppet of a human being, unable to resist at all, just playing around with the opponent’s tricks.
A person with that kind of power has appeared and still continues the test.
Even though it was not expressed in words, feelings of anxiety and fear began to settle deep in the hearts of the prospective cadets.
“It has not yet been investigated whether or not this artifact is truly a ‘hypnotic’ artifact. So do not be unnecessarily frightened and take the test!”
“”””………..””””
I read a lot, I try to speak out, but no one listens.
In the end, the examiner forcibly told me to continue the test——I guess I was the next opponent for the sparring test?
“Chrono prospective cadet, to the location.”
“…Yes”
…
..
.
[Apostle of Chronos][Rank:F(EX)]
-Controls time [Limited time: 10s/10s
-You can increase your rank through missions [0/10].
Apostle of Kronos
The ability that appeared in front of my eyes as soon as I opened my eyes and let me know that I was being f*cked.
If I had been given a bit of time, I would have run away right away from the academy, but the moment I woke up was right before the entrance exam.
I rolled my head to escape somehow
[Qualifications to become a believer]
-The first step to becoming an apostle of Kronos
-Use your abilities to overcome difficulties
1. Enter NTR Academy (0/1)
Reward: Qualification for Rank Up / Scythe of Kronos
“…f*ck you”
No matter how good a carrot is, people have to rub it.
As expected, let’s run away. Running away is the answer.
[Mindfulness of a prospective believer]
-It is outrageous to become an apostle of Cronus and run away
-Are you serious about giving up your ministry?
1. Maintain the Apostleship (0/1)
Reward: Maintaining the Apostleship
Failure: Apostolic Dispossession and Permanent Time Freeze
“Was it me who had to do it?”
The steps that were supposed to go backward came back forward again.
I can’t die. I didn’t want to die.
If you move forward, you will encounter a situation very close to death, but if you step back, you will die as it is, so do you have a choice?
So, I went back to the academy, and when I registered my name at the reception…
“Chrono, this is Chrono.”
The name has been changed.
I remember the original apostle’s name as ‘Timeless’ or something, but I don’t have the heart to follow that.
Let’s change the name first. If the name my precious parents gave me was a spear to stab me in, I was ready to confidently change my name.
“Yes? Your resident registration number says ‘Timeless’…”
“………..”
But the worldview here was modern, not medieval.
He wasn’t the kind of person who would change his input just because he changed one word.
‘How do I…’
There was also a way to record it as Timeless.
But just in case, just in case
If there is another person like me who possesses
“Okay then, then next—-“
“——Stop it.”
Time stopped.
The given time is about 10 seconds
Immediately go beyond the information desk and manipulate documents
After changing only my first name to ‘Chrono’, I returned to the original position.
“─Bun, please come this way”
“…..Whoa”
Fortunately, it doesn’t look like it got caught
The situation changed strangely later on. Even so, it was then.
If you really want to do it, you really have to apply for a name change later.
“Then now…”
Hair
Hairstyle
It is best to change the things that can be changed as much as possible.
I wondered if there was a beauty salon or barbershop nearby, but there was no way there was such a place while entering school in the first place.
“Even in a hurry”
I went into a nearby men’s bathroom.
I soaked my hair in water and forcibly cut it off with a knife.
From the shaggy hair of the original version, to a sporty hair that was almost pushed half way.
“Wow…It really doesn’t suit you”
Is it because you’re in anchovy condition? His hair was shaved, and he looked like an old-class bastard who would be blown away if he touched it wrong.
Anyway, at least it’s in a much better condition than the old bum. There, no matter how you look at it, it didn’t look ‘timeless’.
Satisfied with myself, I moved toward the auditorium.
Every time I saw some of my hair on the way, I wondered if I had cut it for no reason, but I wanted to keep it a little bit—-
“Examiner, there is an unauthorized artifact in the hands of that prospective cadet.”
“Unauthorized Artifact?”
─I made up my mind after watching the main character dance.
Junnae.
Be still, somehow peacefully.
Aiming for the middle ground, I pulled out the dagger that was stuffed into my waist.
“Mars prospective cadet, forward”
“Yes!”
My opponent was Mars
If it’s Mars——ah, wait a minute
“Sleeping students face to face”
“Uh…”
Greetings, wait a minute
That’s it. You’re a heroine
Especially with a red ponytail that is openly written as hot-blooded
With small scars visible all over the body
Especially when I saw the huge greatsword behind my back, I was hit even more.
“Don’t fall too easily?”
“…Help me”
“hahahaha! You look weak anyway, but I’ll hit you in moderation, so don’t be too scared!”
“………..”
That’s actually a KO declaration.
While trembling with shock and fear that would soon follow, I thought about it, if I fall out like this, can I enter the school regardless of my score or rank?
‘Rather good’
I opened my arms and prepared to put my body on the greatsword.
It’s better to be hit enough that you can’t stand it, but if you’re hit enough to stretch, let’s get hit enough to hit you in one shot.
Everything will be over when you open your eyes.
If you close your eyes and open them…
[Emergency Mission]
[The Apostle of Ares]
-This is an urgent mission from Kronos.
1. Defeat Mars (0/1)
Reward: Contribution +10
Failure: Apostolic Dispossession and Permanent Time Freeze
“…….Cyeeein…!”
I am dying
I fixed my sword.
Swords are all about kendo, which I briefly learned in middle school, but I still have to do my best to do what I can.
Anyway, it wasn’t completely impossible.
It’s Time
It’s nothing but time
If you can manage 10 seconds no matter how short it is…
[Time limit: 3s/10s]
“Ah…”
I spent some time manipulating documents.
In the end, I only have 3 seconds left
What can I do with just these 3 seconds?
“Dalian——Start!”
“Ahhhhh!!”
Before my troubles are over, Mars runs towards me and strikes me down with a knife.
This should be avoided. There is no way other than blocking, spilling, or avoiding anything.
“Where to run away!”
“Hey! Hey!”
Among the misfortunes, the good thing is that the sword is big
As the sword was large, its movement was slow, so it was possible to dodge it right away.
“Chi-it… Running around like a loach!”
“…… Write”
But the problem is that it is difficult for me to approach
In the end, I think I’ll have to use my abilities, whether I like it or not…
‘That bastard, isn’t he looking at me?’
Looking at the bleachers, I felt as if the main character was looking at me.
It’s crazy. This time stop cannot be used. The technology to stop time cannot be used.
“Don’t keep dodging but fight me fair and square!!”
The deliberation continues, but Mars is swinging his sword more and more violently, as if he is getting annoyed.
Speed up sword speed. Aside from that, the pattern itself was simplified and easy to avoid——what the problem was, the sword that flew right away after learning the pattern for ordinary people was a problem.
“Got it!”
“Hee, hee hee hee!!!”
In the end, I gave permission, but with a sword
If you get hit, you’ll die. Will fall behind Will you be hooked in one room?
Is it because it’s time to die? Vision gradually slows down.
I didn’t want to be hit with my body, so I took the dagger in my hand and applied it.
Kaaang!
‘Ah f*ck’
It was good to block it with a dagger, but the mass and power could not be ignored.
I blocked it with a dagger, but a greatsword pushed in as if asking what it was.
If I go on like this, I’ll probably just get hit by the sword.
‘Ah…..’
Ignoring even my slightest resistance, I push in
‘Ah, ah…’
Even if you try hard, it’s meaningless
Suddenly, the sword came closer to my shoulder
“aaa!!!”
Do whatever you want
I roughly stopped the time of the dagger in my hand.
Since ancient times, time and space are interconnected.
I did this because I wanted to make sure that if I somehow stopped time, the greatsword wouldn’t stop either…
─Kaaa!!
“What…?!”
“f*ck?!”
The greatsword ricocheted off.
A greatsword that bounced off as if it were flying off a huge wall.
“Ahhhhh…!” Mars staggered as he couldn’t overcome the repulsive force, as if he had put all his strength into it.
‘Now’
Now.
Now is the only chance given to me
I quickly ran to Mars’ arms.
Quickly
Fast enough for Mars to maintain
I gathered all my strength and sprinted towards Mars.
“──Ah…?”
“Caught”
Mars is poised to wield his sword again.
But I was already in Mars’ arms.
“Dooooo!!!”
“D—?!”
If you get hit with a dagger, it hurts badly
I hit the crown of Mars with the handle of my dagger.
A blow with all one’s strength.
It was a picture-like blow that I would never be able to do even if asked to do it again.
All that is left now is to pray that Mars will spread.
“Ah… Uh, kkeuh…!”
“……f*ck”
Dadadang, the sound of a huge greatsword echoing across the floor
Fortunately, Mars was stretched out on the spot and collapsed.
I slowly turned my head to the examiner who was watching from the side.
“Win…Isn’t it?”
“…Winner, Chrono”
Declaration of victory
At the same time, the mission window flashed in front of my eyes and sent a signal.
[Emergency Mission]
[Ares’ Apostle—Success]
Reward: Contribution +10
[Mission]
[Qualifications to become a believer – Success]
Reward: Qualification for Rank Up / Scythe of Kronos
“…That’s okay”
I lived. Survived.
The moment when I was thrilled with that fact and trembled
-The rank up condition has been established.
-Qualified to rank up.
-Go to the Temple of Cronus to rank up.
“───Ah?”
Blurred vision for a moment
My body collapsed and my eyes were stained black…
“Good job, my apostle”
“……Who are you?”
Something, very something, a woman appeared in front of me.
“I’m late to introduce you. My name is Cronus, the god who controls time and at the same time the true master of Olympus.”
“…………”
Cronos…A woman?
