chapter 41
41 – Entrance exam (6)
“Go away!”
“Wait! Wait! Just listen to me for once!”
A guidepost in the middle of the city that replaces the police station.
A boy was screaming desperately in front of the door there.
“Really! A terror attack on the entrance exam! We have to cancel the exam!”
“So where is the evidence!”
“That’s…So if you catch the suspicious person around you…!”
“Haha… Hey boy. If you’re going to lie, at least you have to tell a more plausible lie. Some lunatic will terrorize you during admissions season, when security is at its tightest.”
“But it’s true! Real terrorism will happen…!”
“That’s right. If a terrorist attack happens, don’t worry, our leadership team will definitely solve it.”
“Wait! Wait! One more story…!”
“Eh! Loud! One more joke and I’ll arrest you!”
“That, that!”
The boy who had been banging hard on the closed door and shouting endlessly, left crying when he heard a threatening shout from inside.
“What shall I do now…”
Noah, a boy sitting near the fountain, bowed his head in dejection in a reality where even the leading guides he visited for the last time did not believe him.
“At this rate, something big will happen.”
It’s already been a week since she realized what her main scenario was about.
The first doctor he visited treated himself as a patient with a headache.
Scout Rachel, who had a serious conversation with her, also dismissed her story without evidence as off-topic.
After being discharged from the hospital, she went around the surrounding schools to spread her danger, but she was often kicked out by the instructors guarding the school gates.
Chairman, who visited just in case, was kicked out by the guards without seeing his face.
After several times of neglect, the last place I chose was the leadership team.
Of course, even that just failed.
“As expected, I don’t believe the story because there is no evidence.”
At first, they listened to her with a serious expression, but when they realized that there was nothing to prove her situation, she immediately changed her attitude and kicked her out.
“Even if I want to prove it somehow, I can’t believe it starting with me.”
Since she herself did not completely believe in the terrorism, it was only natural that such an attitude would be revealed implicitly.
Honestly, how can you believe in something that hasn’t even happened yet?
Unless you foresee the future, it is natural that you cannot believe that terrorism will occur in the entrance exam.
“Haa…”
What are you talking about now?
As an aspiring student, not a student, there were limits to movement.
The most vigilant research district as well as the academic district were restricted, so only the commercial district was free to move.
As long as you take the entrance exam, you must have played tricks on the academic district where many academies are concentrated.
For example, the mountain behind the academy.
Like a park in an area where academies are concentrated.
However, as an inquirer, there were too many restricted areas.
‘I can’t even visit the academy of my choice without an application form.’
Even if there was an application for admission, only the academy where the application was submitted was allowed to visit.
Anyway, it must have been a measure to guard against demons mixed in among the aspirants, but the situation turned out to be like this, so I felt like crying.
A situation where even if you want to grab the evidence, you can’t.
“I’ve been to Slaine, but the reaction is the same.”
Rather than being the same, it was rather a welcoming feeling.
The instructor, who sent a friendly look, saying that warriors become stronger through trials, gave an appropriate answer and then left leisurely.
“Really…”
Now that all of her shallow plans have failed.
She said there was only one way left for her.
“…I can’t help it.”
Saying that, she slowly rose from her seat.
“I have no choice but to move alone!”
It was an act that others would call reckless, but fearing that someone might not be the main character, she has a strong sense of justice and decides to put her foot in a dangerous case to reduce the damage to the city.
.
.
.
“So you sneaked in?”
“……Yes.”
And Noah was caught in an instant.
Caught by the guide who was patrolling near Slane, Noah couldn’t bear to lift her head and spat out her apology to the girl in front of her.
“Sorry.”
“It’s embarrassing to act suspiciously late at night like this!”
Are you the same age as Noah?
He looked pretty young for patrolling late at night.
The outfit is also quite unusual. It looks like a training uniform and is wearing only one armband symbolizing the leader.
‘Doesn’t leading men always wear school uniforms?’
At that moment, Noah tilted her head, but immediately lowered her head at the girl’s words.
“You can’t do this! If you’re a student, you should go to bed early at night like a student!”
She frowned lightly and didn’t feel any dignity from the girl who said that.
She probably wouldn’t even know she was a leader if it wasn’t for the armband on her arm.
“Even in Academy City, there are many dangerous people at night! Don’t wander around late at night!”
Her orange hair swayed to and fro as she admonished her, placing her hands on her hips.
The girl swept her shoulder-length hair once and then spoke to her Noah.
“So where are you students? I don’t intend to penalize you, so feel free to tell me.”
When the girl took out a small machine from her arms and said that, Noah, who had been listening to her, hesitantly opened her mouth.
“That’s not a student yet, but an aspiring student…”
“Huh? Aspiring? Not a student?”
“Yes.”
At the same time, the girl’s expression turned wild in an instant.
“…!?”
“What are you?”
‘When the hell!?’
In her second, holding her spear in her hand and aiming at her throat, the girl spat her cold words at her frightened Noah.
“A spy somewhere? Or a spy from another country? Surely it’s not a demon?”
At the same time, the girl’s body pulsated with flesh that made her skin tingle.
‘What, what kind of energy…… !’
Even considering the energy that flowed from the girl, she was on par with the president we saw at the transfer ceremony.
Realizing that the existence in front of her was not an ordinary person, Noah shook his head at the girl with wide swaying eyes.
“Oh, no! I never…!”
“I’ll make the judgement. It’s not enough that someone who isn’t a student, just an aspirant, has sneaked into the academic district and hangs around Slaine.”
After saying that in a serious tone, the girl started making a phone call somewhere with the machine she was holding in her opposite hand.
“Ah, this is the ‘Orange hawk’. We got the ‘Cicada’.”
[OK. I will send ‘Sea Eagle’ Right away.]
“OK.”
Did you notice that things are going in a bad direction?
Noah’s expression began to turn pale moment by moment.
“Wait a minute! I’m not a suspicious person!”
“Well, let’s hear the details from the cadets!”
“Please wait! I am! I am not a bad person!”
That’s how Noah was caught by the leader.
“Now, bro. Let’s be honest.”
“I-I’m really nothing…!”
She is confined in a solitary cell with only a single ray of light.
“Whoa…Hey, hyung. I can’t figure it out right now. It’s a relief that I was in charge of interrogating you. If the other guys, especially the manager who brought you, took on the interrogation, you’d disappear without a rumor. .”
A male lead member who says that while having a bowl of warm pork cutlet rice bowl in front of him.
“……!”
“Your brother said. There are people who want to terrorize the entrance exam. Isn’t that you, brother?”
“Yes, yes?!”
“Isn’t it because people don’t believe it, so it’s a deliberate plan to cause terrorism?”
Sometimes.
Crazies who give advance notice saying they will cause terrorism.
Perhaps the boy in front of me is a similar case.
The leading member in charge of Noah’s interrogation thought that and nodded his head.
“Okay, let’s be honest.”
You’re the bad guy you’re talking about.
“…….”
A dark solitary cell.
Strong lighting that dazzles.
In front of you is a leading member with a terrifying impression.
When the situation of being accused of the culprit was added to that, Noah eventually burst into tears.
“I-I’m not really!”
“Oh dear! It’s no use crying like that. You’re an older brother!”
“It’s not real…!”
Noah hiccups and starts crying bitterly.
Her whip and her carrot were handed to her appropriately, and her interrogation continued for a while.
───
Meanwhile, at that time, the student council room.
“I can’t seem to finish it.”
It seems like you’ve been working on paperwork all day, but what are those paperwork that are still piled high in the sky!
A sigh leaks out of my desolate heart.
‘I think I need to rest for a while.’
Before long, he stopped moving his restless hand and put the pen down and began to lightly stretch his neck.
Other executives have already been forcibly removed from school.
The only thing left in the student council room was himself.
‘Seonhwa and Tatiana have been working all along. I have to let it rest once.’
Conditioning is important.
Especially, since these two aren’t even fighting, aren’t they lacking in stamina?
Of course, it was a recommendation that the two did not agree with, but Yeon Je-seong forced them to leave school.
“That’s awkward.”
It was a quiet atmosphere after a long time, but maybe it was because I had been with the executives for a long time.
The quiet atmosphere was rather awkward at the venue.
“…Four days left.”
In the next four days, all academies in Academy City will take the entrance exam.
There will be a variety of practical training as well as tests reminiscent of real battles.
Various incidents and accidents will happen, and it will be a very busy time for our Student Council.
In particular, the role of the leadership team must be important.
‘The leadership team, which plays the same role as the city’s police, will be the busiest during an event like this.’
Right now, aren’t they patrolling everywhere according to my request for predicting the behavior of the demons?
It’s hard to be sure how the demons hiding in the city will act, but it’s clear that they will directly attack the academy.
Especially since the main character, Noah, has appeared, the demons who have been lying dormant for years will begin to move.
“As expected, it was good to find the demons in advance.”
I have already found the identity, so all I have to do is guide the main character there at the right moment to earn experience points.
“Because we’ve done the maximum security in preparation for the worst case scenario.”
I called a number of acquaintances who were graduate motives, starting with the vice president who was dispatched as well as the leadership team.
“Well, everyone will be busy, so we won’t be able to come, but maybe one or two will come.”
That alone is enough to stop his shallow plans.
Honestly, as long as I’m here, I wonder if one or two people would be too much, but since people’s lives are at stake, it’s probably right to over-prepare.
It was then.
Suddenly, the flue I had put on my desk rang.
“Hmm?”
I don’t think there’ll be much of a flu, right?
The Flu, which was distributed only in Academy City, was a state-of-the-art magical engineering device that could be used as a cell phone but also had a built-in student ID function.
It is a device that requires dedicated radio wires or other facilities, so it can only be used in Academy City, but since all academies in the city are replacing ID cards with flu, it was also a device that no one uses.
“This is Yeon Je-seong, the student council president.”
Picking up a flue that made a clear sound, the chairman answered the phone.
After a while, a childish voice came from his ear.
[Hello, President!]
“Yes, it’s Lou.”
[Sorry for contacting you late. But I think the president should listen.]
At the words of Lu, the leader of the leadership team, who spoke in a serious voice, the chairman changed his posture and sat down.
The fact that she showed a serious side in a relatively light atmosphere means that this is an important issue.
[There is the demonic terror that the chairman said.]
“So, did you find any signs?”
[That’s right, I caught the person hanging around Slaine.]
As expected! It seemed that he would play tricks on the three major academies.
“I see. What kind of guy was he?”
There’s no way the demon himself didn’t appear.
Are you a subordinate or an ordinary person manipulated by brainwashing?
[My name is Noah. I am a wannabe, not a student. He strongly denies it, but considering that he has been shouting stories about terrorism for several days, it honestly seems highly likely that he is a related person.]
“Yes, Noah… Huh?”
Why are you out there?
