Chapter 24
24.00
“Placement Examiner, Team Battle is about to begin.”
The young professor’s words made a commotion.
“No, what have you done? Have you seen the placement test?”
“I thought the terrorist incident and various incidents kept you from lecturing too much.”
“I mean, even if the curriculum is pre-booked, it doesn’t seem like much of a leap forward.”
A new professor clapping his hands in a rowdy lecture hall atmosphere.
“Here! Candidates, please be quiet for a moment. First of all, let me talk to you about what I need to tell you and ask you some questions.”
She calms her surroundings and opens her mouth, breathing out loud.
“As some of you may know, according to the Academy Curriculum Schedule, the placement test is 10 days from now.”
The candidate who scared her to start asking questions.
“Professor, isn’t it hard for our riders to keep track of their original curriculum due to various events?”
“Well, the candidate’s right. We also tried to reschedule with that in mind… but it didn’t seem to be very well coordinated because of the candidate training that was done for the duration of the student holidays.”
The candidates who thought they saw the damage because of the schedule of the formal students said their faces were firm.
The professor smiled awkwardly, even though she thought she was sorry.
“That’s why I don’t think I can postpone my placement exam.”
Inside her bombing declaration once again made a ruckus.
“No, you mean this? Are you an educator and a candidate?”
“We’re the ones who got away with a terrorist attack, and you expect us to compromise?”
As she raises her voice, she speaks quickly.
“Here we go, everybody! The placement test is a relative evaluation team battle, not an absolute assessment. So don’t worry too much, there’s no penalty for late lectures.”
However, everyone did not look as good as they thought they were unfair to the other riders.
“What does it matter?”
“No, if you’re going to do this last time, you shouldn’t even train as a Cadet, you should just graded as a placement exam.”
“Oh, I’m strong from next week onwards!”
“… If this happens, the placement test will be discarded.”
She sighed deeply as she continued to mock the Academy’s decision.
“The Academy felt sorry for you, so we added one more event to the placement test.”
The event brought everyone together and listened to her.
“At the Preliminary placement exam, you will be given a rare artifact in the Academy and an opportunity to invite your favorite professional hero for a one-on-one interview.”
Her words hit the inside of the ballroom like a big storm.
“Awesome! Rare artifact. Is this a true story?”
“Wow… Can I see the same Class A hero as Magnum?”
It shined in the eyes of the candidates who heard her story.
In the meantime, only the ceremony was making a gruesome face.
‘What do I do with them?’
I didn’t like the reward for the ceremony that I hadn’t helped the heroes except for Ishiu.
Suddenly, one memory came to my head.
‘Wait, come to think of it, was it in an Academy Rare Artifact Warehouse?’
Secondary Academy terror incident in ‘Billon’ that will come later.
And then, it was stolen by Zhang Rail.
It’s an antique that no one cares about right now, but it’s a treasure I can’t miss for a creature who knows its power.
The ceremony I had thought of up to that point lifted my hand.
“Yes, Cadet Kim Chang-sik.”
“Is it your choice to reward Rare Artifacts?”
“Yes? Oh, of course. First place gets you access to the Artifact Warehouse.”
The professor, who answered tremblingly, scratched his cheek.
But is he a candidate? Why are you so naturally reflexive…? ‘
At the same time, you hear a voice laughing at the ceremony around you.
“Kick, Kick, Chang-sik Kim, what confidence does he have in delivering the benefits only to first place?”
“When I asked you a question, you already ranked first.”
The lecturer became a whole sea of laughter.
However, the ceremony that I thought was an opportunity to preempt the goods of the railroad had no intention of caring about them.
Of course, my friends at the ceremony thought differently.
“Ha! Should I burn them all?”
“D-don ‘t be like that. Let’s all get our heads cut off.”
“Grrrrrr…”
As other candidates continued to mock the ceremony, who didn’t know if there was a harsh story coming or going, the professor focused on the single phase.
“So from now on, I want you to create a trio for team battles.”
* * *
Other candidates do not easily approach the party at the ceremony due to the unusual activity.
“First…, we’ll have to team up, right?”
I scratched my cheeks on the woman’s words.
“… I like it, but don’t you have to leave one for three?”
Four people in total when you add enemies to your appetite, cheekiness and pussy.
The enemy asked with a worried voice that he might have to leave.
However, the woman tilted her head and opened her mouth.
“What are you talking about?”
“Huh? What is that…?”
“Are you asking because you don’t know? Of course not.”
She sighs and breathes out information about the Academy placement exam.
“A team battle in which 61 total candidates, 61 senior admissions, and 60 candidates, excluding independence, are divided into 20 teams.”
“You are rated for one team battle, not a tournament. All you have to do is care about the opposing team that matches later.”
As I opened my lips without stopping, the ceremony looked at her with interesting eyes.
‘That’s brilliant.’
“Oh, and this is my guess, and I’m also going to lend you a team-based training ground for the duration of your training. Well, then they’ll also allow you to use traits.”
The seminarian loudly focused on the candidates, frightened to the end of her speech.
“Oh, dear! Team-specific training grounds are now licensed for use with attributes, please note this!”
I looked at her with surprised eyes when I heard that.
“Wow… Woman. How did you know that?”
“As a candidate, you should know this much.”
The woman shrugs as if it were natural.
The opponent opened his mouth and looked at the woman with strange eyes and tilted his head.
“But it’s not fair for us to have a team, right?”
The answer was given by ceremony.
“No, this is fair enough.”
At the words of the ceremony, the woman looked at him in wonder.
“… Kim Chang-sik is right.”
“Huh? Why is that fair?”
“Nakheh, what did you hear in class? One of the hero’s essentials is the reliable presence of a colleague.”
“Huh? Huh…”
“It’s been about a month since training started, and the problem is that no one has a partner to leave behind.”
The enemy listened to it and looked around.
Obviously, the candidates who used to stand out were surrounded by people.
And at that time, one of the unsuitable candidates asked the seminarian with a disgruntled expression.
“But isn’t it against equity for us to choose our own teams?”
A seminarian smiling at his words.
“Hmm? What’s wrong with equity?”
“If you choose a team this way, you won’t create a strong team of candidates.”
“Right?”
Her attitude seems to be what the problem is.
The candidate asked as if it was ridiculous.
“That’s an injustice. Some get Carrie from good candidates, some get good grades, some lose weight from other team members.”
The professor smiled at the candidate’s words.
“One of the qualities of a Rainbow Hero is a good colleague by your side.”
“Yes?”
“Haven’t you had enough time to get along for the last month? Even so, is it someone who aims for a hero that doesn’t have a colleague to back him up?”
“Yes? That’s not what I meant…”
As he blurred his words, he quickly assaulted a speeding cult professor.
“Heroes who don’t have colleagues. I’m sure there’s a problem. People are throwing you out, right? So people who dream of being heroes should also have good socialites. The placement test also takes into account this part.”
“Well, that’s…”
She only chooses the right words.
“Now, I don’t want to ask any more questions, but I want to get the candidates together as soon as possible. Looks like some of the candidates have already formed a team.”
“Yes?”
Only then did the candidate realize that he was wasting his time, and began to talk to the other candidate in a hurry.
The ceremony, which was watching all of them, shook his head.
It was natural that there was a good colleague beside the good hero, as the seminarian said.
Of course, next to the ceremony was a bear that was invisible to man and a homicidal maniac.
* * *
As everyone formed a team, the seminarian focused on the candidates.
“Now, this time, I’m going to match a team to battle. One of the team representatives needs to submit a list with me.”
[Han Wong] Kim Chang-sik Na Nam-hee
[Sanghyun Park] Lee Sung-hyun Kim, Jin Soo
.
[Leo] Kim Jae-hoon from Gangdong-chu, Korea
The qualifications of first class admissions were not available because they were automatically placed in class C, the best class for freshmen.
“Too bad we can’t be together. Everybody work hard.”
Cheerful with regrets.
Then he suddenly looked at the ceremony and said.
“Of course, if I could do the placement exam, I would have had a different team with you.”
“Hmm?”
In his eyes, the determination was like a flame.
Admiration. Aspiration. Fear.
After the battle with Flame Circle, it was a triumph to realize that his dementia was quite influential.
I drew a smile on the face of the ceremony that I liked the face of the person who felt sincere.
“Likewise. Let’s fight if we get a chance.”
Whether he was satisfied with the answer of the ceremony, the chieftains laughed as well.
“Thank you.”
And just in time, the seminarian who had organized all the names opened his mouth in a loud voice.
“I’m going to run a random program fairly, so I don’t want any objections to the match.”
The matching time of the opponent’s team that started later.
As a result, the odds of the candidates began to shift.
Matching was fast and it was the turn of the creative team.
“Now, next up is candidate [female] ‘s team.”
Teams that had not yet been matched wanted to match the creative team.
Other than Han Wong, I thought it was worth it, because the next iteration was with Leo, who was the strongest winning candidate.
“They….”
First, the professor looked at the team at the ceremony with pity.

Red Muffler asks again what Mickey just said.
“What does that mean?”
She glances at him, sighing deeply and shaking her hand.
“… No. That’s it. That’s it. I’m gonna go get the axe.”
“… Got it. I’ll contact Axe right away.”
She shrugged her arms and didn’t answer for a long time as if she was worried about Red Muffler’s answer.
“… No, you have work to do.”
“Yes? What?”
Mickey, who did not drop the Red Muffler next to him, gave him a solo mission this time.
“You need to go to the Academy now.”
He is stunned by the sudden sound of the academy.
“… You mean Hero Academy?”
“Yes, go and contact that Kim Chang-sik.”
“No, Mickey, that’s not…”
“Can you infiltrate the Academy by yourself? If I asked him to see me, he’d understand. If you do anything suspicious, keep it under control.”
Red Muffler was distracted by Mickey’s stormy demands, but he had a little grudge against him anyway.
“… Got it. Then can we go straight to the Academy?”
“Oh, yeah. I’ll meet you with the ax, and then I’ll head your way.”
“I understand.”
He nods, and Mickey turns and takes a step.
Red Muffler, who was watching her leave so quickly, also turned around.
“Hey, that’s right. Bonjour.”
“Yes?”
I don’t know if you used character, Mickey standing right behind him.
I feel like I’m worried.
Her mouth is hard to open.
“Can’t you kill him?”
Her words are covered with a red muffler, and he looks odd.
“… I won’t kill you.”
