I Will Take a Break at Academy

chapter 22



022. final exam (1)

Warriors Academy Jungangdong Gymnasium.

This was no ordinary gym. It was such a huge place that all large-scale events in the academy were held here.

If you have to compare it, it is similar to the Colosseum or a soccer field. The size is slightly small.

In the audience, all academy executives, nobles, mercenaries, magic tower officials, people who came to see the cadets to entrust missions, and even the cadets’ families… … .

Anyway, it was full of people who came to see the rumored combat newcomers.

It is not unreasonable to say that your life after graduating from the academy will be decided if you properly take a picture of your eyes here.

In particular, it can be seen as a more valuable opportunity for cadets who are not from prestigious aristocrats.

‘A truly life-changing opportunity!’

As much as that, the competition to occupy the aspirations and talents of the cadets intensifies. In addition, the air in the gymnasium in Jungang-dong became hot.

Rumored combat newcomers enter.

—-!

Tremendous cheers and interest poured in like a river.

The cadets proudly walked with their shoulders straight. The ranks were undisturbed, as if to show off that they had been well trained.

‘This is also very tiring.’

I also worked hard in the middle of the ranks. It’s like being back in the army.

Today, only combat classes have final exams.

Thanks to that, in the student seats, cadets from magic, priests, and practical cadets, excluding those from combat, were seated to watch.

It’s down here, so I’m overwhelmed by that many spectators. There were really a lot of people.

‘Is this how a sports player feels?’

It really makes my heart feel great.

Principal Pompey’s greetings began. I didn’t hear anything, so I looked around.

‘As expected, Deianne didn’t come out.’

Deianne’s body should have been completely eaten by the ‘Hyven Piece’ by now, as planned.

Thanks to that, the body and mind will not be intact.

Ackerman must have noticed by now that Deianne wasn’t in the professor’s chair. It’s the final exam, but the professor didn’t come out? that would be weird

So when the sparring is over, I will go find Deianne even though the final exams are not over yet.

From there, the final phase of Act 1 begins.

‘There is nothing wrong so far.’

I checked the variables again inwardly.

‘Argon, Deianne who worships Diamon.’

In fact, argon is not a big variable. It’s because he has the ability to subdue Ackerman as long as he overdoes it. The problem is that it is so lax that the next move is difficult to predict?

Even this I can overcome with simple black magic.

In fact, the biggest problem was Deianne, who worshiped Diamon, not Hyven.

The strategy will change depending on the demon you worship. The problem is that Ackerman is not a ‘player’, but a person living in this world.

It is impossible to search the Internet for strategies, or to save and retry.

Of course, our main character, Ackerman Breed, is a ‘Hyven’ and a ‘Diamon’ and knows nothing.

Although I am anxious, I believe that with Ackerman’s skills, I will be able to overcome it on my own.

‘I have no choice but to finish the sparring quickly and go check it out.’

Intervene from a distance if necessary.

And you have to help Deianne’s collaborator to escape safely as she runs away according to the story.

If Ackerman suddenly chases down and kills his collaborator, the story won’t progress.

The incident will continue to happen only after that collaborator escapes safely.

‘What if the story suddenly gets stuck?’

… … I don’t even want to imagine the aftermath that will come after that. It’s even more frightening because I can’t feel it at all.

‘Let’s focus on the final exams for now.’

In any case, it is essential to take the test moderately well in order to attend the academy comfortably.

“Then, finally-”

Pompey’s greeting becomes quite long. I think I’ve already heard ‘Finally’ 3 times, but this is the passive that every principal has… … .

‘what.’

By the way, someone from far away is waving at me.

For a moment, I wondered if I had seen it wrong, but there was no way that child was waving so hard at someone.

it only does that to me

‘Aren! Aren! do well today! I’ll cheer you on!’

The shape of the mouth looks very good. Maybe it was because she was far away, but Shiana was even more energetic and opened her mouth wide.

When he finished speaking, he smiled and waved his hand once more.

I ignore it, so I nod my head slightly. Siana responded with an eye smile.

I looked at the spectators again.

I was wondering if there was a new face I didn’t know about.

But it was my mistake.

‘Oh God.’

I shouldn’t have seen As soon as our eyes met, a voice rang out from the crowd.

“Aren!! Aren!! cheer up!! Fighting my roommate!!”

Viktor screaming alone in the quiet priest’s seat. How many iron plates were put on the face?

I wish I could just have a drink and go to sleep. He said he would definitely support me, and he stopped drinking the night before.

But I never thought I would do that sh*t… … .

Thanks to that, I had to get the attention of the priest class cadets. It’s never a good experience to receive that much attention with Blackfire’s body.

‘I just want to die.’

After Pompey’s speech, the overall procedure of the event proceeded. After a long boring time, the curtain on the final exams has finally risen.

–!

A burst of cheers from the crowd.

It was louder than any shout I had ever heard.

That’s also because the two best named cadets of this freshman year, Ackerman and Cain, will decorate the beginning. Is there anything more thrilling than this as an opening stage?

And their sparring is also a very important event that determines the entire story of the second act.

‘Who will win?’

I don’t particularly support anyone, but I feel proud when the main character wins, and the story is familiar, so I like it.

Ackerman and Cain cross swords that killed me.

The two aim for the best grades somehow. Cain vowed revenge on Ackerman. Even if it’s not a real sword, sparks have already begun to fly between the two.

“Then shiih!”

Gilliot shouted loudly. His enchanted voice was enough to fill this huge gym.

visor-!

There was not the slightest sigh between the two. As if the N and S poles were sticking together, the swords collided as soon as they started.

-!

–!

—!

The momentum of the two is getting fiercer and fiercer.

It was fierce enough to make me wonder if it was the kids I usually go with, and I swung my sword mercilessly.

Oh oh–!

Every time the splendid sword dance came and went, exclamation burst from the audience.

It is a rare spectacle, but the level is also top-notch. With that level of skill, you won’t be far behind even if you face the 3rd year cadets already.

Even the head instructor, Gilliot, watches the battle between the two in awe.

Because it is more than twice as good as what I saw in class. Since when did you hide this skill, you might be wondering.

Bang bang!

The sparring, which had been clashing with each other, intensified and began to emit flames.

The magic attribute that both Ackerman and Cain deal with is fire. Every time he swung his sword, sparks splendidly embroidered as if fireworks exploded in the air.

‘It’s a trend that Cain is gradually losing.’

Cain is pushed

That is, the story flows according to the story approved by the game company.

An opportunity for Cain, the descendant of a family that lives and dies by the sword, to abandon the sword.

And the starting point of Cain’s blackening.

—!

Finally, Ackerman’s special move, ‘Flame Slash’, tore apart Cain’s flame. Two people caught in a storm… … .

After a while, the flames died down, and winners and losers emerged from the dust.

… … Although he was on his knees, it was Ackerman who finally held out.

Applause poured in.

The wizards threw pollen into the air, and the nobles nodded and gave a standing ovation.

Scouts of mercenaries or various military groups record something diligently.

Everyone will send a love call to Ackerman.

To Cain, of course.

It was definitely the best match ever. They were two of the best among freshmen.

However, most remember the winners.

Ackerman holds out his hand to Cain. Cain grabs that hand and gets up, but his insides are already burning.

‘I lost again.’

‘I can’t.’

‘what is the problem?’

‘What do you say to your father? I have no face to see.’

‘I’m a disgrace to my family.’

‘Maybe I don’t have any talent?’

‘I tried so hard.’

All kinds of thoughts will pass.

Among the crowds that filled the gym here, she was alone.

The surroundings are as dark as blackout curtains.

The belief in the ‘sword’ that he has believed in and trained so much begins to shake.

“Both of them showed the best confrontation. excellent! great job.”

Gilliott sincerely praised the two. He especially praises Ackerman.

Cain smiled and exited.

‘ruler… … Now you two are recovering.’

Ackerman, Cain, Ponte, Hoya, and Siana will start a full-fledged boss fight after the A-class sparring.

‘… … Until then, I will have to pray that nothing will happen.’

Until they recover their stamina, meet and talk, decide to go find Deianne, move back to the magic faculty building, and figure out the situation.

If I calculate all of this, assuming I defeat Euron quickly, I think I can participate in the middle of the boss fight very close.

Even if you say participation, you might be watching the situation from afar and contemplating whether to help or not.

As long as it goes without serious problems, I’m going to leave it to Ackerman to take care of it.

‘It’s not good to intervene more than necessary.’

The first couplets ended splendidly. There must have been a lot of strength on the shoulders of the combat instructors including Gilliot.

The final exam continued.

I kept my eyes on the spectators. What Ackerman or Cyana are doing, maybe Deiane won’t suddenly appear. I can’t let go of the string of boundaries.

The later confrontation between Hoya and Ponte provided another spectacle.

Everyone expected Ponte to win by landslide, but Hoya prepared so well that he brought Ponte to the brink of victory.

Arrows of wind and ice raged through the gym, and Fonte’s lightning spear flashed.

It was at this time that Hoya got the nickname Shingoong. It was an amazing bow skill from what I could see.

In the end, Fonte became the winner, but Hoya also showed a great performance.

‘The mercenaries will line up.’

After Hoya and Ponte’s confrontation was over, after a while, Ciana disappeared.

Until then, Shiana would occasionally make eye contact with me, clenching her fists and cheering me on, but Ackerman had just called her and left.

Now, everyone will gather together and go find Deianne.

‘It’s starting soon.’

great. The boss fight went off without a hitch.

I now have to wait for my turn.

* * *

Class A’s sparring was over, and it was class B’s turn. It seems that the heat will cool down after the class A fight, which is considered the highlight, is over, but that is not the case.

‘It’s starting to get busy.’

This is because the mercenary scouts are busy.

Most of the class A students are busy being taken by the royal family or high aristocrats as their own.

money, fame and power. In any means available to seduce cadets, the mercenaries are at a disadvantage.

So naturally, the eyes go to class B and C.

To single out cadets with good value for money.

While the scouts were heating up, my turn finally came.

“Whoa.”

I took a deep breath and gripped my sword.

I walked to the center of the gym. My name is introduced.

“Aren Blackfire!”

frozen gym.

‘no way.’

‘I must have heard it wrong.’

‘What? Blackfire?’

‘Now, wait a minute. Isn’t this the battle-related final exam?’

All kinds of negative reactions and stinging eyes are stuck on me.

My vampire-pale skin and toxic black hair would be noticeable from afar.

Even though all the people from famous families came, this is probably why people from my family didn’t come.

I arrived at the center ignoring people’s cold reactions.

Euron Taylor-Joy was already standing there warming up.

“Hey, you’re going down. Can you see the reaction of the crowd?”

Euron puts his wooden sword on his shoulder and opens his mouth.

The left corner of the mouth is climbing Everest alone.

“… … .”

Again, I didn’t react. I just rotated my wrists and ankles to adjust my breathing.

‘I don’t need to deal with such scum.’

Euron continued to quarrel with me.

“Now do you know your reality? black fire. A dirty bastard who worships demons or something.”

“I saw him keep his mouth shut in front of Cain. Coward. No apologies.”

“I’ll let you walk around anyway. Thank you.”

Keep thinking.

I grabbed my sword. Today, it is exceptionally well locked in the hand. Hong Hong. Like a martial arts swordsman, try to wield the sword splendidly.

Power: [26/26]

‘great. The stats are compliant and the condition is the best.’

As I swung my sword, a commotion was heard from the crowd.

Blackfire is assigned to the battle system and wields a sword. This fact alone would be quite shocking.

“Can you feel it? how much of an idiot are you? How much are you hated? I will humiliate you very properly today.”

said Euron, pointing to the crowd. It’s a confident attitude. As if there is a place to believe in something.

Did this bastard take any money from me, that’s really nasty.

In the end, he had to listen to Gilliot’s scolding without hearing a single answer from me.

“Stop the small talk! focus on sparring You don’t think the academy’s final exams are the same as regular exams, do you?”

Gilliot’s stern voice. He grabbed Euron and me by the shoulders and said.

“The rules are the same as in class. Don’t run for your life. fight fair and square. I will do my best. Got it!”

“Yes!”

“All right.”

Took! When Gilliot hit his back, his entire body staggered.

Finally, Euron and I stood facing each other.

He put his fist to his chest and said hello. Dalian preparations are complete.

I don’t like Euron’s flirtatious attitude.

‘How should I stir it up?’

I took the coordinates with the shadow and checked its status window.

Name: Euron Taylor-Joy

Gender: male

Age: 20

Character: ???

specialty: ???

Stats: [Strength: 20] [Agility: 14] [Stamina: 16] [Luck: 2]

‘uh… … ?’

something is weird

If I’m not mistaken, all of his stats jumped by 10 points compared to a few days ago.

‘what.’

Raising all stats by 10 in this short amount of time? Normally that would be possible.

That kid looks like he’s on some drugs… … !

But-

“Shiih!”

Before I had time to think, the sparring began.
