Chapter 16 – 7. Entrance Ceremony
One.
O.Re.H Academy──
To translate the meaning directly, it just listed the English word hero backwards, but there was no particular meaning.
However, unlike the somewhat insincere naming sense, the status that the name has in this world view is by no means light.
It is said
Below is a brief description of Orhi Academy.
『Starting with the half-mad passion for education that Korea has been proud of since ancient times, it was built in the middle of Seoul to nurture superhumans who only threaten the survival of mankind by integrating all sorts of paranormal abilities and advanced high-tech systems…』
Well, that’s roughly it.
In any case, it is the school the main character attends and wants to attend.
All the central characters of the story and all kinds of incidents such as secret fights appear or take place in this academy.
Of course, the status and recognition of the academy to do so were also different.
Of course, if you are in a mediocre position among many academies in this worldview, you will feel somewhat lacking to become the target of terrorists = villains or the center of an incident.
‘Now the story I know really begins.’
In any case, standing in front of the main gate of such an academy, there was no reason not to feel like 『I am really in a novel――』.
What do you mean by anew on the topic of fighting a monster called the Minotaur that doesn’t already exist in reality?
That’s how it is.
It was funny even to think about it.
However, apart from the fact that he fought against a monster that did not exist in reality, seeing the academy, which is the background of the story, with his own eyes felt different.
‘If the former feels completely caught up in unreality, the latter certainly seems to have become a character in a creation I know? That’s how it feels.’
There was a vague difference that was hard to explain in detail.
“What are you doing standing still? Let’s go.”
As I stood there for a long time, soaked in sentimentality, winter grabbed my collar from the side.
She, like me, was wearing a blue-grey school uniform.
She is also cute and looks good no matter what she wears.
She said she was being dragged along as she grabbed and led her.
“Uh. Gotta go.”
As she led us, as we entered the main gate, a different scene unfolded than what we saw from the outside.
『Space Distortion Magic──』
This is the reason why a superhuman academy with huge facilities was able to be established in Korea, where the territory is practically small, and in Seoul, where there is almost no undeveloped land.
Orhi Academy was special in that it always maintained high-level magic that was not commonly found anywhere else.
Of course, given their geopolitical location, it was an inevitable choice for them, but surprisingly, it ended up showing off the academy’s status to guests visiting the academy.
I slowly looked around.
‘There are many.’
──Now there were dozens of students besides her and me.
All at once, they were heading to the auditorium, following signs or guides installed throughout the campus.
If you include the guilds and broadcasting staff who gathered to watch and broadcast the entrance ceremony, the number increases enormously.
Not to mention the guardians of students.
‘I heard that Winter’s parents started before her as officials of the guild.’
He said he couldn’t go with her, but he couldn’t hide his disappointment when he saw her rather like her.
I don’t know if she’s really getting killed by her father.
‘I don’t know.’
As I thought about that, I looked around at the students around me and couldn’t help but shake my head.
I was wondering if I could find a familiar face like the main character and winter, but it wasn’t at all.
‘Hey, it’s more strange to just read the description in a novel and find a person similar to that person.’
It’s natural to be crazy
Looking for Kim Seo-bang in Seoul.
It was really hard to pinpoint a specific person with abstract modifiers, unless she had some conspicuous characteristics like her.
I’d rather find a needle in the sand.
As a rough guess, there would be hundreds or even dozens of people passing by after mentioning it once.
In addition, it becomes more difficult to find the person you want if you include thousands of extras, including the main cast, who are not mentioned in the novel.
But don’t worry.
‘Anyway, if I follow the main character and get assigned to class 1 A, I’ll probably meet them all…’
Still, I couldn’t help but have a face I knew.
“Winter.”
“Let’s go. Taeyang.”
The moment I passed through the front door of the main character, her academy and went a little further, I ran into him like a lie.
No, should I say he was waiting for us on purpose?
He had already received attention from Winter, and his sudden appearance was nothing new to those who knew the contents of the original work.
──He is a main character who is not used to it and is even familiar to him, probably because he has been mentioned quite often in many places and has read all about him in text books, but in fact, it is only the second meeting with him.
‘No, maybe I should call it a first meeting?’
Because the possessed man was meeting me for the first time with him.
“Talk to me.”
Such a protagonist drags me and catches the winter that was trying to pass by.
Winter finally turned his gaze to the main character and said nervously.
“Now what? No, more than that. You came to me with that brazen face. I heard about you. You said you had the awakening you so longed for? Congratulations. By the way, if you were shameless, couldn’t you find me?”
Oh, I didn’t know she could make a face like that.
The expression of being really fed up—-
A constant stream of vitriol flowed from her mouth.
It was the complete opposite of what he had shown when he was with me for the past few weeks.
Still, I couldn’t get the feeling that something was familiar, so I tried to remember where I saw that expression…
‘Ah.’
She said she had that bug-looking look on her first day of work when I ran into her at her department store just once.
‘To say I hate the current protagonist as much as I did back then…’
That’s heaven again…
Her second meeting with him, and then, each other’s positions were completely reversed.
“Including all of that, let’s talk about it here. So let’s go somewhere with me for a while. I’ll explain everything.”
However, unlike me at the time when I gave up after trying a persimmon I couldn’t eat, the main character did not give up even though he gave off an aura of hating winter.
“No..! If you want to say it here…!”
In the end, the main character who pulls her arm–
Winter, of course, stubbornly refused.
However.
‘What are you doing right now with me in front of you?’
It is treated as a complete non-existent person.
The main character wasn’t even funny.
I grabbed the arm of the main character holding her arm.
“He seems to hate winter too, let go of that hand.”
“Ha, what are you…”
Then, as if waiting for this situation, the main character grabs my wrist with the other hand—
‘Under.’
Are you really trying to fight with a lot of energy right now?
‘I don’t know what I believe in, but I’m not the same…’
It is Kim Tae-yang, whose stats were still in the upper ranks in the early part of the work.
However, his stats were further boosted while fighting against the Minotaur.
The physical ability equivalent to that of D-class hunters who have a comprehensive Lv.
“…!”
At that moment, a strong grip that I could not ignore began to dwell in the grip of the main character.
It seemed that I could understand the true nature of that power without even thinking about it.
It’s just ‘Oror’.
Aura——When it reaches its extreme, it can split the sea and overturn a mountain with just a light gesture…
It is the exclusive property of superhumans that makes physically impossible things that humans can do possible through physical movement.
‘But why is the main character…’
Yes, because such auras are dangerous for those who are still inexperienced to handle, the method of operation has not been properly disclosed in the private sector.
Usually, all hunters were supposed to learn how to practice Aura after becoming legal adults or after entering the academy.
Of course I know.
The fact that high-ranking guilds, or even families with a long history, have promised and guaranteed that they would take responsibility in case something happened in case of emergency, and taught their children or talented people from childhood on how to practice their family’s aura.
However, that is a story that does not apply to those who have no background, such as me or the main character.
In the first place, it was also a skill that could not be acquired in a short period of time with ordinary talent.
‘Kuhup…!’
Deuk–
At that time, when I felt that the mysterious protagonist’s aura practice method was slightly weak and was about to groan——
One message, no, two, blocking my view after a long time.
The golden sun inside me also sneaked out and said, “Never back down like this.”
– Adjunct Attribute – Camouflage (A) confirms that you are in a situation you must never back down from. It is before the midwinter starring the original.
B Momentum increase (D).
– Adjunct Attribute – Evidence (S) as a superior male confirms that it is quite difficult.
In order to overcome the unfavorable reality, oneself begins to grow quite steeply.
ㄴGrowth Acceleration (E)
[Increase strength Lv.1]
When the backup of the characteristics was done in earnest, the difference in basic physical ability was quite large, and the wrist he was holding became much more comfortable.
Did the main character even notice that fact?
Something doesn’t work out the way I want, and my impression is starting to get rough.
“…Cuddled between us? I have something to say to her?”
It was only then that I was the main character who spoke up, but eh. You bastard
If you come now, then I will do my best to get out of the way.
I had no intention of doing that anyway, but I was already out at the time I used the aura to see what to do with me.
“Well… But I can tell you that I hate winter…”
“Then what are you…!”
“And, next time you’re going to do something like this, look around and do it.”
The love affair surrounding a woman was enough to catch everyone’s attention.
Moreover, if the target involved in the incident was a beautiful girl like her, it would be an even more interesting spectacle.
I pointed at one of the passers-by.
“Oh, what is it?”
“Well… I saw a fight over that woman?”
“But one side…”
“Oh, wait. I think I’ve seen a scene like this somewhere.”
“You, man. I told you to stop doing that.”
The main character must have recognized that the situation was not good for him to continue acting unconsciously, so he released the arms of me and Winter.
‘But, aside from that, the public’s gaze toward me doesn’t seem to be pretty…’
Life, shit…
It seems that he must somehow continue to live with that kind of gaze until the end of this world.
It was unfair.
I wasn’t the one who caused this commotion, so why should I be stared at?
Hagi-ya, in fact, if I acted like this and staged a love affair, I would have no choice but to imagine this or that.
Honestly, do you know the truth?
‘The situation itself is already an exciting gossip for people…’
Even if I live quietly, I will stand out in many ways, but I have to keep getting caught up in these things without having time to build a good image in the future…
“Go, let’s go…”
Just then, she blushed as if she was embarrassed by the situation itself, and when she wanted to leave, she left the angry protagonist behind and began to hurried her steps.
Even in the midst of it, she did not let go of her hand holding me, so it was clear who her heart was directed towards.
Awesome–
The feeling of hearing that kind of voice from the main character with a stern expression looking at us like that is probably not an illusion.
‘Flaw…’
Still, except for the gaze around me and the fact that I formed a completely hostile relationship with a man.
‘I’m in a bad mood?’
The fact that he chose me without hesitation in front of a guy he liked openly before.
I put my hand on her shoulder, just like I did when I failed at the department store, and I glanced back at him and smiled.
Indeed, I was not sure how that smile would have looked to him, who had straight veins in his eyes.
