Chapter 375 – Chapter 375. Final Exam (4)
Lucy and Rumi excitedly led me to my seat.
It’s been a while since I’ve seen you, so I’m in a good mood.
“Come here. Sit here.”
“Lucy, since Miss Daeun is there, wouldn’t it be okay if Mr. Hoyeon sat between us?”
“Ah…Then what should I do? Should I do it part-time?”
“I’m okay.”
“Daeeun-yang… Thank you.”
Nam Da-eun gave up the seat next to me to Lucy and Rumi as if to be generous.
Lucy and Rumi thanked Nam Da-eun and sat next to me happily, but at the same time, I could see an apologetic look on Nam Da-eun.
‘… I’m sorry about this.’
I also have a conscience.
I had enough fun with Nam Da-eun yesterday, so I should pay attention to Lucy and Rumi.
“Lucy looks cute even after a long time. How have you been?”
“Ugh… Come see me right away yesterday! What did you do yesterday?”
“Sorry. I was hectic the day I came back. I had to prepare for the exam.”
“It’s okay, Mr. Hoyeon. Lucy will only talk like that. You’ll understand everything.”
“Rumi…!”
“It feels good to see Rumi after a long time.”
“Oh, thank you…”
Lucy clenched his fists and looked at Rumi.
Even after seeing them for a long time, the two are still good friends.
The conversation between Lucy and Rumi was cute and funny, but before that, I had a question.
“But when did the three of you become so close?”
We hadn’t even talked to each other until we went to France, so how did we become so close?
Lucy tilted her head at my question before answering.
“Um, just? We became close after eating together.”
“Lucy, Rumi, and Hoyeon talked a lot.”
“Oh…Yes?”
I’m glad.
Daeun Nam also made friends at the academy.
I was a little surprised that it was Lucy Rumi, but she’d rather be someone I know.
At least it won’t have a bad effect.
“By the way, today’s test is over…”
Before Lucy could finish her words, the front door of Class A opened.
Drooling-
“Good morning. There are some faces I haven’t seen in a while.”
It was Professor Kim Jin-hyeok who entered the classroom.
As if it wasn’t a lie that he had a lot of work because of me, his dark circles looked thicker.
“As you all know, today is the magic exam. After the written exam, the teams split into groups and head to the practical test site. The exam schedule is…”
Professor Kim Jin-hyeok continued talking about the schedule.
Since I knew the schedule, I secretly held Lucy and Rumi’s hands next to me.
“See you later. The exam may end late, but I’ll be sure to stop by the club room.”
“Yes.”
“Yes…”
*
After the morning exam, the Magical Written Exam, was over.
Sadly, we couldn’t eat together at lunchtime.
I had to take the test even in my spare time.
“… Elise, I’m hungry.”
“Have you not eaten?”
“Even though I ate roughly, I’m still hungry.”
“…”
When I brought it lightly from a convenience store, my stomach screamed.
Hungry, I clung to Ellis, who ignored my complaints and fixed her eyes on her book.
I think I was well accepted when I was in France. You’ve already started ignoring it.
“Your heart has already cooled down. They won’t even accept jokes.”
“… This is the academy. We have to keep our dignity.”
When I said it as if I was sad, Alice closed the book.
He looked at me as if he was comforting a child, but since he reacts like that, it’s fun, so I want to continue.
“Can’t we just play until the professor comes?”
“… What do you want to do?”
“I don’t know.”
“Haha… I’m doing this on purpose.”
“No. I’m bored.”
I smiled softly as I watched Alice tightly close her eyes in frustration.
Thank you for not being annoyed though.
“It’s all good, but if you stay still where others can see…”
Drooling-
At that time, the professor came into the test room with the test paper.
“I’m sorry I’m late. Shall we start the exam?”
“Whoa…”
Alice let out a sigh as she couldn’t relieve her frustration, and I smiled next to her and accepted her test paper.
*
“Hoyeon-san, it’s finally the final exam…”
“You’ll do well, Rumi.”
“That’s right. Prof. Im Sol only needs good skills to take the test.”
Nam Da-eun was not a wizard, so we went to another test center, and the twins and I headed to the same test center.
It is a magic practical test led by Professor Im Sol.
– What kind of test do you have for a week?
– But it’s over today. Much better than survival.
– Let’s go to karaoke later.
Listening to the conversations of the cadets, it feels like the exam is over for no reason, so I feel excited.
When I was a college student, I was just delighted with the fact that the exam was over.
Unfortunately, there were still 5 exams left, so I couldn’t be happy like those cadets.
Lucy and Rumi continued their conversation even while I was thinking about things.
“Ugh… But the notes were so difficult, Lucy.”
“Professor Im Sol’s exam is notorious. Because the only one with a perfect score is a good performance.”
“It’s amazing. Mr. Hoyeon…”
“… Let’s study together later. I’ll let you know.”
Seeing Rumi staring at me with her eyes sparkling, I smiled bitterly.
The Magical Written Exam was not difficult.
It’s only natural that I created the problem in the first place.
‘Even if I hadn’t scored, it would have been perfect.’
Me and the Lucy Rumi twins chatted and entered the practical exam room.
Inside, Professor Im Sol, covered in a light blue robe, was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed.
– Wow… You are really pretty.
– I know. I heard you went on a business trip last week, but if you’re that pretty, you’ll have a boyfriend, right?
– How did a Victoria Academy professor get a boyfriend? You must be very busy with your research and test questions?
– Is it…. I really want to be a professor like that.
I looked at the cadets who were talking next to me involuntarily.
‘… The world where people think they’re good at everything is wrong.’
I should have shown Professor Imsol’s usual behavior to those cadets.
A person who has nothing to learn except magic and pretty looks.
I even gave the test you just took….
“Ha….”
“Hoyeon. Why are you like that?”
“It’s nothing. I’m worried about the test.”
It’s heartbreaking, but what can I do?
We can’t directly damage our professor’s reputation, so we have to crack down on his mouth.
“Is everyone gathered? Everyone is full of energy because it’s the last exam.”
Again and again-
Professor Im Sol, who was looking around at the cadets with a troubled expression, looked at me and greeted me slightly.
I was a little taken aback by the unexpected greeting, but I also lowered my head roughly.
It’s a bit exciting
“You know the test? Just come out one by one and do what I tell you to do. Don’t worry, I’ll decide for you according to your level.”
The test method was simple.
To come out one by one and complete the assignments that Professor Lim Sol asks.
If a professor has a perfect eye for people, especially for wizards, he’ll be able to give it to the level of his cadets.
“Next. Nam Sang-yoon.”
The test started right away, and I sat in the waiting room and watched the other cadets test.
It didn’t just shoot far, but it seemed to help improve the skill by setting the level of intensity and distance suitable for the tester.
“Haaaaa… It’s too difficult, Professor.”
“With your magical power, this level should be easy. You lacked training.”
“No, professor…!”
“Next.”
Some of the cadets seemed dissatisfied, but at Professor Imsol’s firm words, they shrugged their shoulders and went downstairs.
Even after that, many cadets went downstairs, hurt by Professor Im Sol’s venomous remarks.
All the cadets finished their exams before I knew it, and I was the only one left.
“Next. Lee Ho-yeon.”
“Hoyeon-san…! Do your best!”
“Lee Ho-yeon fighting!”
“Thank you.”
I went up to the test room with a slight smile.
My test order is last.
It must have been Professor Imsol’s intention.
When I came up to the exam room, I saw the professor frowning in dissatisfaction.
“Professor. Aren’t you making it too tight?”
“You won’t see it either. Everyone’s undertrained.”
“… I think the professor’s standards are too high.”
I smiled at the professor who was making a disapproving expression.
I glanced down and saw the cadets with sullen expressions.
Hundreds of people were sitting in the waiting room, but only a few of them passed the test.
It can’t be helped because the standards of effort that professors and students think are different.
“Anyway, what if our student doesn’t pass?”
“Please be gentle. You’ll be given first place anyway.”
“Show the effort. Try.”
Professor Imsol laughed happily.
He had a bored expression throughout the exam, but seeing him smile like that makes me happy.
I feel like I have become a precious person for the professor.
“Okay, Professor. I’ll do my best.”
I also raised the corners of my mouth and matched the professor’s joke.
*
“It’s finally over. Ah…”
I finished my final exam and stretched.
The last test was a different subject from Alice, so I took the test separately.
Fortunately, the professors who were considerate of my schedule said that if I just solved the problem, I wouldn’t have to fill the time, so I finished it as quickly as possible and got out of the test room.
“After all, practice was the most fun.”
Professor Imsol’s expression was still in my eyes.
It was so cute how his eyes widened when he solved a task that he thought would be quite difficult in an instant.
The written test was boring because it felt like I was organizing the information I knew.
By the time the other cadets had already gone home.
I stood in the hallway for a while and checked my smartwatch.
“…Why is there no reply?”
What are you all doing not contacting me?
It seems that Su-rin noona still hasn’t finished her work, and Baek A-yeong seems busy too.
I wonder if I can meet you today
“Why aren’t Lucy and Rumi replying?”
Surin noona and Baek Ah-yeong have certain things, so why don’t the twins get in touch?
Shall we go to the club room and wait?
It seems like everyone else is busy anyway, so I need to go somewhere good to pass the time.
I left the building and walked towards the club building.
After the exam, the academy was quiet.
Maybe everyone went to play.
‘I can meet Lucy Rumi and meet Surin noona.’
It would be perfect to have a student council at the top of the club building.
As we passed the club rooms we hadn’t seen in a long time and stood in front of our room, we heard strange sounds from inside.
Busy sounds like running around.
Are Lucy and Rumi already waiting? Then why didn’t she get in touch?
I carefully opened the door.
There was something like a balloon floating around in the room, and there was a delicious-looking strawberry cake on the table.
“Eh?”
“Uh… Mr. Hoenn…?”
I wanted something like this, so I made a stupid noise, and I heard an answer from the side.
It was Rumi who was spreading the blanket on the bed.
Rumi looked around her and she continued.
“Uh, uh… You’re here early. You said you had a lot of exams left.”
“Yes. The test ended sooner than I thought. But this cake…”
“Rumi! Here’s the blanket… Huh? Lee Ho-yeon? Why did you come so early?”
“The test ended early. What were you two doing?”
“… Uh. A return party?”
“A return party?”
I blinked my eyes at the glamorous yet sloppy club room.
The comeback party was for me.
Lucy and Rumi looked at each other and smiled.
“Yeah. I wanted to celebrate with a surprise since I haven’t seen you in a while… But I got caught.”
“Hehe… Mr. Hoyeon. I wanted to surprise you.”
“Ah….”
Seeing the twins smiling awkwardly, I felt something tickling in my heart.
I came here lightheartedly without much thought, but Lucy and Rumi were expecting so much.
I have relationships with several women, but not Lucy and Rumi.
They must like me the most.
It’s not just Lucy Rumi.
Everyone is waiting for the time to meet me.
“…Lucy, Rumi. Thank you. Really… Um, thank you. Really touching.”
“Really?! I’m glad… Lucy and I prepared a lot…”
“Right. How hard is it to reserve this cake!”
“… Huh? Let’s eat together.”
Of course, I don’t think this is all my fault.
Most of the time I’ll blame God for bringing me here.
Still… For now, I should focus on Lucy and Rumi without thinking about anything else.
That is my responsibility.
“Shall I light a candle?”
“Yes! I also bought candles.”
“Then I’ll lay down the blanket.”
“… What are you going to do with the futon?”
“Hehe… Mr. Hoyeon.”
“You know…”
“How about having a party first…?”
I smiled sadly as I looked at the two clinging to my arms.
