I Became an Academy Overpowered Dual Swordsman

29 – Midterm Preparation

You’re finally here. For reference, the black market is a place where you use a safety number, so you can’t find out who you are by phone number.

“The butler of Choi Yoo-eun, the youngest daughter of the seasonal guild master…”

The reason for revealing one’s identity is probably ‘I’m the butler for the youngest daughter of the Season Guild, am I going to cheat?’ I guess this means

“But how can you believe that? If you’re going to say something weird, hang up.”

I know thanks to the notification window that just popped up, but I decided to be cautious. Then, over the receiver, I heard a voice thinking like ah… Um….

-Then. Would you like to go to the Seasons Guild website and search for Kang Jihoon?”

I immediately searched for his name.

[Season Guild]

[Class A Wizard Kang Ji-hoon]

At the bottom, simple personal information and phone number appeared.

-Call that number. It doesn’t matter if you walk with outgoing restrictions.

“Okay.”

I immediately hung up and called again with caller ID restricted. His voice was heard before the call even rang.

– Yes. Are you the one doing business with me?

“That’s right.”

Okay. That’s right. Well, the notification window can’t lie.

“I can trust you now. Season Guild Master’s youngest daughter Choi Yoo-eun’s butler, A-class magician Kang Ji-hoon… I didn’t expect such a magnate to call me.”

-That’s how urgent it is.

As if he hadn’t experienced this once or twice, he said let’s quickly get to the point in a troublesome voice.

-What information do you have? And again, you didn’t write down what you wanted in exchange for information. I can’t believe it’s preemptive… I’m sorry… It’s not like that, right?

It refers to one of the titles of trading articles I have seen. I felt my voice tremble as if I was ashamed to speak.

“No. I didn’t write it down because I thought gaining trust was more important than paying for it.”

-Trust?

“Yes. I will tell you about the SS right now.”

I heard his voice gulp over the handset.

“SS is currently a high school student.”

– Is that true?

His voice was dubious.

“You’ll find out soon.”

I ended the call with this one word.

***

A few days later, Sunday evening.

Choi Yoo-eun is on the phone with her butler and is waiting for her picture book to be updated.

-Lady? Have you had a good rest? You are great too. Defeating an A+ grade parasitic slime. You’re 17 years old, but I think you’re stronger than me.

“Whoops. Not quite there yet. But are you making any progress?”

When she asked for information about the SS, the butler told me everything that had happened, as if he had accumulated a lot.

-I’m sorry if I suggested something from this side. Wouldn’t it be cut off? How long have you known don’t you say Actually, I am SS. Don’t you say…

She recounted all of those absurd experiences and finally told the most recent one.

-SS said he was a high school student. Me. Really. I’m dumbfounded. I was trying to tell you not to talk nonsense, but the phone hung up.

“Poop. Is that so? You’re having a lot of trouble.”

All these words were meaningless, but the words of being the last high school student caught Choi Yoo-eun’s heart.

SS is a high school student like me.

It’s unlikely, but if it’s true, how much stronger than me at the same age as me?

“SS… I want to meet you as soon as possible. I’m a high school student… Where do you go to school?”

The world’s number one academy Delaon? No Maybe he’s attending an ordinary high school academy because he wants to hide his identity.

-Lady… You don’t believe that, do you?

“You said you’d find out soon.”

-You’ll soon find out it’s a lie.

It was time to chat with the butler and say that the update of the encyclopedia is later than usual today.

The encyclopedia has been updated to say that the Ancient Devil Slime, which was successfully sealed 22 years ago, has been slain.

The person who killed it was SS.

I heard the deacon’s shaking voice over the phone, as if he was looking at the same thing as me.

-This is so unbelievable… The young lady’s encyclopedia has been updated. Try refreshing.

“Yes. I’m watching it.”

The one who sealed him was a man who was called the best S-class magician at the time, even though he is now dead. Even after 22 years of amman, how could such a strong person suddenly emerge?

“SS Is this person… Or is he a human?”

It was then that Yoo Eun first felt her feelings of awe.

-Some say that they use the initials SS because they are S-class or higher, SS-class wizards…

“That’s a pretty interesting guess.”

Unknown S-class wizard SS.

How can I connect with this person? No matter how much I think about it, the answer doesn’t come out.

I touched SS information with a feeling of regret. As always, the information only says that it is an S-class wizard, and everything else is written as unknown.

But now I see that new information has been added. Choi Yu-eun read the words aloud without realizing it.

“…A high school student.”

– Yes? Miss?

“SS is a high school student!”

-Uh…

As if the butler confirmed it, he couldn’t speak.

-There’s no chance that this is a lie… Isn’t it?

“Of course.”

The Encyclopedia of the Beast Association always records only the facts. Never do anything to undermine your trust.

-SS is a high school student. That information is true. It’s not a prank call! I would have been in big trouble if I had stopped.

“Please contact the informant again immediately! I don’t care how much money you give me…!”

– Yes. Miss.

Youeun Choi finished talking with the butler.

She took several deep breaths to calm herself down.

“Whoa…”

I finally got a clue.

SS is a high school student like me. Who are you?

***

-Ah. You finally accepted it. Hello! This is Kang Ji-hoon, whom I contacted last time. It’s nothing else than the SS information…

There were dozens of phone calls pouring in, as if they were in a hurry. However, it is still too early to contact Choi Yoo-eun. So he decided to buy some time.

“We’ll get back to you when we have the next information.”

-Ah. Thank you so much! I’ll take care of everything you need, money or whatever.

I hung up the phone and looked at the calendar.

About two weeks left before the midterm exams. The midterm exam is divided into two parts: a written exam and a contested exam.

The ratio is 30% for handwriting and 70% for couplets.

For reference, the opponents for the Dalian test cannot be arbitrarily determined, and the school matches them similarly according to their rank.

According to the original story, I would fight Lee Seong-jin. Recalling the information about him, I entered our class.

As soon as I entered, I heard a familiar name.

“Hey. Have you guys read the encyclopedia? Really f*cked up.”

“I saw it. Wow SS… He was crazy. Is it true that he even caught the Ancient Devil Slime?”

“SS Is he a god?”

“I heard he’s not a god, but a high school student.”

“Sorry guys. Actually I’m SS.”

“You’re just an idiot.”

Ummm. It’s hard to manage facial expressions.

As I requested, SS turned out to be a high school student. Perhaps because of this, the word SS has been heard from all directions throughout the day.

“If you know it, isn’t SS a student from Delaon? Is there any other place other than here that a high school student with that level of skill could come?”

Oh. Sharp.

“Damn it. Then I’ll get rid of it. I’m a regular high school academy student.”

Ugh.

In this way, I overheard the conversation of my classmates and quietly looked at Choi Yu-eun.

“SS. Who is it?”

“Isn’t Choi Yoo-eun you?”

“Puff. I hope so.”

Around that time, the homeroom teacher joined the class.

“Guys~ Good morning. Have you had a good rest for four days? I’m really glad that everyone is safe. Heaven helped me, and not a single person was harmed.”

“Choi Yoo-eun helped, not Ha-neul.”

Boram smiled brightly at Seonyeong’s words.

“Okay. I’ll start the assembly this morning. As you all know, there are less than two weeks until the midterm exam.”

I can hear the sighs of the students.

“As early as today? Or tomorrow. The opponent will be decided. After four days of rest, I should study hard again?!”

“…”

When no one answered, she showed her clenched fists.

“Answer.”

I heard the reluctant reply from the students in my class.

“What is the first period of our class?”

“Dalian theory class. Second class is Dalian practical class.”

Worth looking at the timetable next to the blackboard. When she found out that the teacher in charge was Seok Choi, she immediately ran out. It’s because I’m a teacher with a tight front and back. Don’t even do that

It was time for the first period, and Mr. Seok Choi arrived at our class.

“Okay. Let’s start the Dalian theory class for the first period. Before that, the class president. Let’s say hello.”

No matter how you study, no matter what your mind, you’re an old-fashioned brat who quarrels over everything. I don’t want to get involved very much. What’s funny is that, as a good actor, he sincerely cares for the students.

It was time to say hello and sit down. He suddenly asked me a question.

“The class president of class B. What did you say is the most important part of the Dalian theory class?”

“Hmm… I’m dealing with someone who isn’t a witch.”

Is that right?

“That’s right. Then you’ll have this question. A wizard is a job that fights demons. Why do you have to fight?”

No. I don’t like it. I couldn’t say anything, so I just nodded.

“What do you think is the reason, class president?”

“Isn’t it because when you work as a wizard, you have to fight villains besides witches?”

“Yes. All of this is what I explained in the first class. Someone asked me why I was taking the Dalian exam, so I was on my way to scolding myself.”

After a boring theory class, the playground.

Dalian practice class for the 2nd period has begun.

While everyone practiced in pairs, Sohee came to me.

“Chief. I hope you don’t hear me strange…”

“Huh? What is it? Please tell me comfortably.”

She hesitated a few more times, and within seconds she shouted:

“Teach me swordsmanship!”

“…?”
