chapter 3
‘I did too well on the test than I thought.’
Had I known this was going to happen, I would have solved one less problem.
Fortunately, it is the third in the history of the Hero Academy.
Thanks to the perfect score in the written test that appeared after 10 years, the eyes toward me were diverted.
I was just talking about it in the back seat.
“100 points… Wow, you get perfect marks.”
“If you’re a divinity, that divinity?”
“As expected, he is the grandson of the great sage.”
“Yoo Hyeon-hwa, the second place, also got 90 points. Doesn’t that mean you got a perfect score if you got one more question right?”
“The last question was difficult. Wasn’t that a problem you were asked to solve?”
“A perfect score… That means Shin Seong-ah solved that last problem perfectly.”
what was the last problem?
I think I wrote it by patching together the contents of the setting book.
Anyway, I think it’s strange that there is such a big gender difference.
‘Anti-threshing. The thought of finishing 6th with a score of 50… .’
The difference in points between Eve Ataraxia and me, who were placed immediately in front, was more than 15 points.
And the score of the person next to me is 40.1 points.
The score of 50 may be the dividing line between extras and main characters.
At least the five people above me were all main characters in the novel.
‘Besides those five, the main character’s classmates who appear as the main character… Come to think of it, there are only a few people.’
A third-class villain who is kicked out for arguing right after the main character’s transfer.
The members of the crew were swayed by the main character who had powers outside of the standard.
The extent of the victim that announces the beginning of a new case?
Most were swept away without a name appearing.
-Those who fail the written test are asked to leave the room immediately.
At the dry voice of the guide, the examinees around them began to leave the room in slow steps.
Some students could not hold back their anger and exited, scattering tears like chicken droppings.
A considerable number of students passed through the exam hall like that.
Did you have about 1/10 left to see with your eyes?
“I passed the written test, now the only thing left is the practical test.”
I am not confident.
… confident to pass.
The last fight was in Taekwondo, which he attended as an elementary school student.
Unlike the written test, which was somehow passed by using the knowledge of the novel, the practical test is really promising… .
『Quest cleared!』
『The compensation is settled.』
『Acquire a new attribute.』
The moment the blue window announcing the completion of the quest appeared, a strange sensation ran through his body.
What is going on inside your body?
“… … !”
They say you can’t even make a sound if you’re really sick.
It was just such a situation right now.
I banged my head on the desk.
“Ugh… .”
A moan that couldn’t be screamed out.
It hurts like your head is about to split.
His body became hot like heated iron and then cold like ice.
Hardening dozens of times.
At the end, a new trait bloomed.
『You have acquired the normal attribute <Mana Circuit>.』
As the excruciating pain faded away, a new sensation awoke.
Something I hadn’t felt before was clearly there.
‘It’s definitely a sensation I’ve felt for the first time, but it feels extremely natural.’
Mana.
There are many ways to call, such as mana, aura, ki, and internal energy.
The calling method is different because the processing method and usage are different, but the source is all the same as mana.
‘It’s strange, but it’s not a bad feeling.’
I was conscious of the path of mana flowing through this body.
A large stem that crosses the center of the body.
A small stem extending from the large stem and covering the entire body.
Adapting to the flow, he circulated mana.
Crunchy-
The momentarily overflowing mana broke the metal ballpoint pen he was holding.
Like a plastic straw, a very lightly broken ballpoint pen.
‘This is strengthening the body using mana.’
I didn’t use it consciously, but the principle was the same.
Knowledge flows naturally into your mind.
How to use mana.
what can you do
I can clearly recall all of them.
‘This is enough… .’
At least you won’t fail the practical exam without trying anything.
『I have achieved more than the standard.』
『Additional Reward!!』
『The blooming of unique characteristics is being prepared.』

“Ah-ah- mic test-”
The exam hall where all those who failed the written exam left the room.
The number of desks where people were not sitting was more than the number of desks where people were sitting.
“Congratulations on passing the written exam. My name is Sumin Lee, the instructor in charge of guiding the practical exam.”
A woman in a suit came up to the podium and introduced herself.
‘That person is Instructor Lee Soo-min.’
She is one of the instructors who managed to appear in the novel with a lot of weight.
He is one of the most talented wizards among the instructors at Hero Military Academy.
“Students, please stand up.”
There was no examinee who did not follow the examiner’s instructions.
kiik-
The sound of chairs being pulled continued.
“I will organize the exam hall once. I don’t need chairs and desks anymore.”
The chairs and desks I had been sitting on just now disappeared as if they were sinking to the floor.
Tens of thousands of them in the exam hall at the same time.
“It’s a bit tidied up.”
Even though Lee Soo-min used a fairly large scale of magic, he did not show any sign of difficulty.
Immediately, the explanation of the practical test continued.
“The hero academy that we have been doing places great importance on practical experience.”
Too practical, the number of graduates is less than half of the incoming students.
Hae-on’s curriculum is famous for being dangerous and intense.
“The magic safety device is ready, so you don’t have to worry.”
There are really only minimal safeguards in place.
“We will also proceed with the practical exam in a form close to the actual exam.”
Kugoogu Palace-
A shaking greater than when tens of thousands of chairs and desks sank.
A thick wall was rising as if filling in all directions.
“You are both a competitor and a collaborator. For detailed test guidelines, please listen to the explanations of the examiners in charge of each section.”
After those words, Lee Soo-min’s figure disappeared beyond the wall.
I took a light look at the faces of the students assigned to the same section.
Unfortunately, I saw a familiar face.
‘shit.’
The area is divided just as you were sitting.
Two people who inevitably have similar exam numbers.
Examination numbers 2,222 and 1,998.
It might have been a natural step to take the practical test with Yoo Hyeon-hwa and Ben Gibraltar.
‘Yoo Hyeon-hwa. And Ben Gibraltar.’
Ben Gibraltar was quietly maintaining his immobile posture with a sad face, but Yoo Hyeon-hwa was making an expression as if he had chewed shit.
Even in novels, Yoo Hyeon-hwa is famous for being the incarnation of pride and desire to compete.
It must be that he is making such a shitty expression because he was deprived of the first place.
‘… I’m going to take a practical test with those two.’
Like the title of the novel, ‘Academy’s Crazy Talented Transfer Student’ is a novel that begins with the main character’s transfer.
Naturally, the entrance exam that took place before the main character’s transfer was not described in detail in the novel.
I know at least who the instructor in charge of the entrance exam was.
swish-
Something fell from the second floor of the auditorium.
A shadow in the shape of a person.
It was not difficult to see that he was the examiner in charge of the practical exam.
‘… come.’
One by one, the examiners fell into their area of responsibility.
An examiner also came down to the area where me, Hyeonhwa Yoo, and Ben Gibrawler were.

Just-
It must have fallen from a considerable height, but the sound of footsteps was light, as if a feather had fallen.
“Are you ready, kids?”
The woman in a suit had a ferocious grin, fangs showing.
“Cheon, Cheonyu means… !”
In the distance, an examinee quietly spoke her name.
‘Sura lightsaber Cheon Yu-ran.’
The strongest female swordsman.
dragon slayer.
Youngest Transcendentalist, etc.
There are many titles that refer to her, but I would like to modify her like this.
‘The best nerd in this novel.’
Chun Yu-ran said while looking at the student who had mentioned her name.
“Do you speak short?”
It may have been a small whisper to herself, but there was no way she would miss it.
“Am I your friend? Shall I call you by name?”
She poured out her unpleasant feelings toward the examinee who called her name.
If you gave that feeling a name, it would be nothing more than annoyance.
But.
“Ugh… .”
All the students in the direction she was looking at let out short moans with pale faces.
And in the case of the examinee who received her gaze squarely… .
bubbling-
Exposing the whites, foaming at the mouth, she passed out.
“Tsk, the guy with no head.”
Chun Yu-ran clicked her tongue as if she didn’t like the look.
She likes strong men.
No, the expression of hating the weak might be more appropriate.
“I am Chun Yu-ran in the test tube. Some of you may know me, some may not.”
Although he said so, there will be no one among the examinees here who does not know her name.
In a good way or a bad way, she was too famous.
“There’s no idiot here who thinks it’s good that there’s one less guy here, right?”
Chun Yu-ran’s gaze frothed and the fainting student disappeared.
They say there is a magical safety device in place.
Wouldn’t he have been sent to the recovery room as it was?
“Most of the people here will fail. If you’re unlucky, it might all fall.”
Chun Yu-ran’s words like provocation.
Her gaze turned to Yoo Hyeon-hwa, then to Ben Gibraltar, and then to me… .
‘Why are you looking at me?’
I must be just one of tens of thousands of test takers?
… Could it be because of the written grade?
Because of the undeserved rank of 6th?
If I had known this was going to happen, I would have gotten a few fewer questions right and lowered my written grade.
I didn’t know that I could get all the puzzles right.
“I like the word ‘basic’. You have to have the basics as a foundation so that you can survive even in the worst situation like X.”
The enemy always appears at the worst moment.
The villain in the novel, Hanzo, also attacked the main character in the most defenseless situation.
‘The main character, Kang Min-hyuk, must have never expected to be attacked in a situation where he was confessed to by five heroines at the same time.’
Thanks to this, it became impossible to know which of the five heroines the protagonist chose.
And that’s not all.
Even if it’s just rice cakes and double lines that haven’t been solved yet… Anyway, the author is an X-boy.
“In the end, the only thing you can trust is yourself. It’s not like a needlessly sharp sword or a staff made from old wood.”
Chun Yu-ran is a character who is far from the common ‘temporary’.
Her theory was that it didn’t matter as long as she could hold and wield a tree branch or a sword with a sense of self.
“If we are of the same mind, we would like to say, ‘Let’s fight each other from now on,’ but… I have no interest in watching X-Bob fights.”
From her point of view, the level of all the test takers would be seen from there to there.
The two main characters in the novel, Yoo Hyeon-hwa and Ben Gibraltar, are fireflies in front of the sun compared to her.
If those two are fireflies, will I be an aphid?
“If you hold out for one minute, it will pass.”
At the same time as Chun Yu-ran’s declaration, the weight of the space changed.
