chapter 13
13 – Episode 13 There is at least one kid in the academy.(2)
“Nice to meet you. Everyone. I’m Kathy, the professor who will be your homeroom teacher for the next year. For now, I am also active as an active hero, and the hero grade is A and the official ranking is 2803rd.”
As the secret friend at the church started introducing herself with a solemn expression, everyone around her murmured.
That would be the case, because the 2803rd place is not a domestic ranking, but a world ranking, so it’s on the extremely high side.
You could ask if there is a ranking for a hero, not a sports player or game, but there was a reasonable reason for this.
Firstly, promote the growth of heroes through goodwill competition, and secondly, the higher ranking heroes are exposed to broadcasting, etc., And used like a celebrity to draw public support.
To put it a little hopefully, it could be seen that there was also a service at the level of comforting citizens by making people feel closer to the hero and showing the hero’s wonderful appearance to the citizens who suffered damage.
To be exact, my friend wrote it down like that in the setting book.
Ah, my eyes met.
I wanted to shake my hand, but I refrained.
Secret friends are meaningful because they are secret.
“Hmm, to be honest, even if you are a homeroom teacher, you won’t see a cadet who doesn’t take a martial arts class very often. But personally, I want to get along with the classmates in charge. You can come personally!”
Oh, shouts erupted as if from a real cartoon or novel.
Among the men, the calmest ones were me, Lilac, and Cheonyuhak.
Oh no.
Those cubs are pretending to be cool, but it was indeed the young male cubs with twitching lips.
Yes, if pretty Nunna suddenly says it’s OK to visit her privately, she can.
My brother understands everything.
Actually, the reaction may seem a bit excessive, but it’s normal for the residents in the novel to be a bit excessive!
After that, Professor Cathy joked about this and that and finished the ordinance.
“Oh, and finally.”
Hmm? I thought I was done, but what more is left?
“You may feel less of a sense of belonging, but still, being in a class is also related. This is also an important part of being a hero.”
…Huh? Didn’t you see me now? You didn’t mean to snipe me, did you?
“Well, it’s the first day after that, but it’s normal classes. You can go to each lecture you have applied for. Everyone is taking classes hard.”
Fortunately, they didn’t pick me up, but everyone just giggled, probably thinking it was a funny joke.
Yes, everyone is a superman, so what kind of weak body is there? Sorry guys
There is a guy in your class who is weaker than you think.
That’s me.

Classes at the academy are broad.
Most of them only take necessary lectures in the first place, and you can graduate as long as you study basic subjects enough to pass the exam.
Most of the guys think it’s more important to stand out in events and exams than in class.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that you do it roughly during class, but it just means that no one tries to stand out in a field that isn’t their major unless they’re a bit interested in things like Cheonyuhak.
“Huh…!”
However, those who protrude are always in the limelight.
Even if you don’t want to stand out, a special person can’t hide that light on their own.
What are you talking about…?
“Ahhhhh…!”
My classmates who saw me fighting with a 25kg dumbbell were looking at something quite bizarre.
Kang So-Hyun This idiot with talent suitable for the support department was, for some reason, a crazy guy who majored in close combat, swordsmanship, and minored in fighting, and put basic physical training in the first period.
How dare you register for the fucking course before the entrance ceremony?
If it wasn’t for me, this crazy bastard, what was she trying to do with all that strength? Is she suicidal?
“Kick Kick”
“What is that? Are you interested?”
“Don’t be kidding, be serious.”
“Leave it alone. I guess I’m going to go into entertainment after graduation.”
Even the guys in my class started laughing at me.
Fuck. I’m more serious than anyone here right now you bastards!
“Focus on your own workout while watching everyone else exercise!”
To my surprise, the instructor in charge of the basic physical training was not familiar with me.
The man who introduced himself as Kim Min-soo was the professor who caught me on the day of the entrance ceremony as I tried to escape from the ranks.
Yes, I remember.
Minsu You are a bad person. You laughed at me and made a laughing stock, telling me to be patient if I was going to go to the bathroom when my life was in danger.
It’s hard right now, and I’ll get my fucking revenge later.
Anyway, the way he looked at me was quite mysterious. I don’t know if he heard what the chairman said or if he was concerned about what happened that day, but it didn’t feel very pleasant anyway.
He pondered for a long time before coming up to me and talking to me.
“Poor posture.”
“Yes?”
“Cadet Kang So-hyun. It seems that you did not learn sports from anyone, but did it on your own. If you continue to do so, you will put strain on your lower back.”
Dumbbells had something like that…?
Once I corrected my posture, I definitely felt that the burden on my body was a little less.
Oh, I was wondering if I applied for basic physical training or something like that, but there was a part that was surprisingly helpful.
Mr. Kim Min-soo seemed to still have something to say to me, but he seemed to notice the other students and just corrected his posture and left.
“Pooh.”
But these bastards keep laughing as if I don’t look the same when I exercise.
Looking closely, not everyone was like that, but some of the guys around a woman were deliberately laughing at her.
Yes.
Among the friends who took the first class, basic physical training, there was our buttocks, no, the president of the fan club Cheon Yu-hak.
I roughly understood what was going on, but I’m not sure why.
No, but really, why would you fuck with me?
Originally, the person he is arguing with at the beginning of the semester is Lilac, isn’t it?
When our eyes met, he smiled and turned his head.
Looks like you’re trying to humiliate me, but I’m sorry, sweetie.
I am a man who is all too familiar with such contempt and contempt.
If the kids try to bully you, how hard do you have to work?
I want to cheer up and scream 1,000,30 as I continue to exercise, but I decided to hold back because it would be too aggressive.
*
Basic physical training was a really simple class.
I just train personally without magic, have a professor correct my bad posture, or give theory classes so that I don’t overdo it during exercise.
Except for theory exams, it seems that they are replaced with performance evaluations.
On the other hand, the second class was a bit special, but surprisingly, lilacs were included in this class.
Basic magic manipulation.
Actually, not everyone who entered the academy could skillfully control their magical powers.
Talent is something you are born with, but the time to realize and awaken to it is very different.
Also, talent had absolutely nothing to do with magical power, and in most cases it was difficult to recognize and move the magical power on their own if the level was low.
So, with the exception of those with outstanding talent, those with a gifted education, or both, among the cadets who had just entered school, magic was an unknown entity.
Ah, of course Lilac is already capable of mana manipulation.
That bastard is a genius.
But why are you taking this class?
A building without a solid foundation will collapse easily, and the same goes for human technology.
This is what Lilac’s father, who works in the construction industry, often told him.
It is a setting that he follows those teachings and takes six classes per semester related to the basics he is already fucking good at.
Well, that guy will do well no matter what class he takes. Anyway, personally, this class was quite interesting.
“hahahaha, nice to meet you!”
A female professor with a very lively attitude came in.
A very short, blond little witch with a cone hat.
Everyone was buzzing because of their childlike appearance, but in fact, it was just a little extreme. It is common knowledge that the stronger the hero, the more they stop aging, so the buzz didn’t last long.
I thought I had gotten used to seeing the characters in the novel in person, but as expected, whenever I saw a new character, I felt strangely strange.
She is a magical science professor who is much loved by students because of her small height and cute appearance, and the academy’s charming point, Professor Park A-ram.
Nice to meet you.
She was also one of the traitors to the academy that I had to kill if the story went the way it was written.
She is not exactly her traitor yet, but when her traitor contacts her and seduces her with the pretext of giving her what she wants, he is the seed of her betrayal.
“Uh, are all the people laughing right now laughing at me for being small? Do you want to get an F?”
She thought everyone was joking and giggled and laughed.
Except for Lilac, who doesn’t laugh because he shouldn’t judge others by their appearance, and me, who knows that’s true.
She nodded her head in quite a bad mood.
“Hmm, I didn’t expect there to be so many F applicants. How could all but two of them want to retake the course? Do you want to see me for a long time?”
Thanks to the magic that was passed over, her hair rose and created her bleak atmosphere.
Then the spark snapped, and none of the laughing guys were gone.
“Since there is no discipline at all, this must have been the first class, or the first class was easy. I felt good because our newbies were cute, but in an instant, my mood went crazy.”
This is a kind of threat.
Of course, being upset is real, but there was no way that she, who was not yet a villain, would do anything sincerely to her students.
“Pooh.”
As expected, when the students panicked, she let go of her expression and waved her hand.
“Puhahahaha! Just joke. As long as you don’t ignore it too much, you won’t hit an F or harass a student with something like this. Still, it’s fortunate that there are two normal students in this class.”
She pointed at a lilac with a wand she had pulled out from somewhere.
“Especially you are not bad.”
“Yes?”
And unexpectedly, it was me, not the lilac, that caught her attention.
“That student isn’t bad either, but your eyes didn’t just stop at respect, but went beyond the realm of boundaries and observed the other person well. It should be. Whether the target is a hero, a mercenary, or an adventurer, it is an important quality to observe and understand the target without stopping contemplation.”
I heard compliments unintentionally.
She didn’t mean to be that way, but it seemed to her.
“Of course, it is also a very important part when dealing with magical powers! Now, let’s get down to the main topic, what do you guys think of magic power?”
“A mysterious power.”
Some idiot answered.
“hahahaha, be sure to write your name and student number on the blackboard before you go. I’m going to hit the F. Other than such a stupid answer, can someone explain in detail?”
Her expression began to contort when no one tried to answer.
“No?”
Then there was a savior who raised her hand.
It was a lilac.
I could have answered since I knew the setting, but originally, the main character answers here.
“This is the collective name for the supernatural powers that appeared after the dimensional collision that occurred about 100 years ago. Different people have slightly different ways of feeling and using different names, but more than 50 years ago, all supernatural powers were collectively referred to as magical powers.”
That’s right.
The world view of this novel is that a dimensional collision with another world has occurred and various supernatural phenomena have begun to occur. It is a setting.
In fact, most of them have similar energy, and when you measure them, there’s not much difference, so that’s why?
“Well, that’s right. Lilac Cadet is almost correct. In the past, there were many names that were just called Jung-gu Heating, but since a method to measure the size of an individual’s power was created, they are simply called mana.”
She started drawing in the air with her magic wand.
A cat that looks like it was drawn by a lower grade student in elementary school appeared in the air.
“But it is not perfect. Who can’t make up for it?”
I want to stand out in the first class.
“Then, let Cadet Kang So-hyun answer!”
“Yes…?”
Fuck, what I noticed earlier was a problem.
I shook my head to see if I could answer for a moment.
“However, there are differences in the training method that suits each individual and the method of controlling energy, and the study of magic is a universal summary of these…?”
“Oh! It’s a bit lacking in confidence, but it’s accurate! I knew you would answer. Again, my eyes for seeing people are accurate. If I couldn’t answer, I would have been embarrassed and almost took over as the experiment man for a semester, but it’s a pity!”
Fuck.
You did a good job answering.
She seemed to be quite satisfied with my answer, so she continued the class.
Today, they say that only theoretical classes are held and full-scale classes will start from next time.
*
There is something that comes after roughly two classes.
It’s lunch time.
Raylan Academy’s student cafeteria has a buffet style, which is the national rule of the academy.
As described in the novel, Lilac shouted, ‘You must try something this delicious for the first time!’, So it must be fucking delicious.
I was about to get up right away and go to the restaurant, but someone stopped me.
“Is it okay for a minute over there?”
“It’s not okay. I am hungry.”
“Ah, then let’s go together.”
“… Huh?”
The person who spoke to me was Lilac, who is the true protagonist of this novel.
“Hello.”
“Uh, yes hello…?”
Chun Yu-hak said the same thing, so why does this bastard do it again?
