Chapter 329 – Mythology Academy
“It’s true… Unlike other game worlds, it’s nice to have a big reward for completing a quest, but… It’s just a goal.”
Bewildered for a while. Seong-il thinks that this condition is not bad for him.
“Well… I have to have a partner for color ball training anyway.”
As the color ball increased to a certain level, the death penalty in case of insufficient yin energy was weakened to once every 6 months, but on the contrary, Seongil needed many times more yin qi for training.
‘Well… Well, I’m planning to stay here for quite a while, so it’s good if there are a lot of sex groups.’
‘Finally, the number of women required for the quest is 3… Coincidentally, the minimum number of women required for my training is 3, right?’
If you absorb a woman’s yin energy with a color ball, the woman needs at least three days to recharge, so at least three women were needed to practice the color ball without interruption.
Recalling that condition, Seong-il could have been given such an absurd quest because of the game master’s consideration. I think.
‘You mean it’s plausible? I came to this world with a strong desire to train… The fact that he gave me a quest just right for that…’
Seong-il carefully looks at his smartphone. However, the game master doesn’t give any answer, probably because he went to great lengths to tell Seong-il the truth.
‘I don’t know. It’s nothing important, but I’m going to register for classes first.’
Unusually, the academy allows pre-registration on the day of acceptance. Seongil decides to use this system to quickly apply for the class she wants.
‘First of all… What lessons should I learn…?’
Read the book the receptionist gave you and carefully check the classes you can take.
‘Let’s see… First of all, if I want to achieve a high rank, it must be a class where I can demonstrate my ability to the extreme.’
Mythology Academy, where the odds of winning first place become more difficult as the grade goes up.
Seong-il chooses an easy class to achieve the mission of achieving 1st place among (optional) missions and being in the top 10 for all 3 years.
‘There is a downside to standing out if you win first place…’
‘I’m so curious about the reward, so I’m going to try to set up a class schedule that’s advantageous to me.’
Even if he made a class schedule to his advantage anyway, there was no guarantee that he would be in the top 10, let alone first place, so Seong-il did his best to find a class that was advantageous to him.
‘Let’s see… ‘Real fighting’! It’s perfect for me.’
‘Oh oh! Do you have swordsmanship? Well, the psychic in this world feels like a magic swordsman. Check this too!’
Seong-il, who applied for a few classes to get credits. He is now starting to find the class he really wanted to learn.
‘Hmm… ‘Operation of basic psychic powers?’ This is fine ‘Introduction to Psychic Science’ is also perfect for me… Oh! ‘Practical psychic combat techniques’!!’
There was also a magic-related lecture, but in the first semester, since taking magic-related studies is not compulsory, I decided not to take that class.
‘Kkeuh… I have to learn magic from the second semester, but…’
Mythology Academy encourages students to learn each other’s studies so that they can understand each other. As the purpose of the establishment was, Seong-il, a psychic, was obliged to learn magic.
‘Oh… I don’t know anything about magic…’
I think it’s fortunate that I have time, and on the last day, I hand over the checked application form to the receptionist.
“You’ve been accepted. It’s the pre-registration period, so you should be able to do it!”
“Yes, thank you.”
“If you have any additional classes you want to take, you can register for another class next week, so you can do it then.”
“Nep-nep.”
“And the entrance exam is tomorrow morning… Huh?”
“…?”
“Wow… Are you exempt? He was a great person…”
“Haha… Thank you.”
“Since the test is waived, you can pass tomorrow’s test and come to the lecture starting next week.”
“Aha… Hey, but…”
“…?”
“Couldn’t you… Be able to practice the test?”
“Yes…? The entrance exam?”
“Yes. If I don’t experience the format of the test in advance at the academy, I think it will be a big loss later.”
“Ah… That’s right.”
“Perhaps I shouldn’t participate in the test…”
“Hmm… Wait a minute!”
As if there has never been a case where an exemption request to participate in the test, the staff looks slightly puzzled.
She leaves her holy day for a while and goes somewhere.
“He said yes! Here is the test ticket. You can go to the building or classroom written here!”
“Ah… Thank you!”
Thanks to the friendly attitude of the staff, Seong-il was able to take the test as a practice. He accepts her admission ticket and returns to his lodgings.
“Whoah… I wonder if I should go to sleep…”
『Wheein!!』
“…?”
Sudden phone alarm. Seong-il pulls out his phone from his bosom with a puzzled look on his face.
“What?”
Seong-il checks the messages on his phone with a curious expression.
“…Follower Quarterly Closing Notice?”
Notification of unusual content that I have never heard of before. Seong-il examines the contents with a grave expression.
『Followers Quarterly Settlement.』
『Gives you points equal to the influence your followers have had on that world through their activities in their respective worlds during the past quarter.』
“Would you like to receive points?”
“…Giving points?”
Seong-il’s expression brightens at the game master’s expression that he will give money for free. He happily presses accept.
『Congratulations on the settlement of the first follower! For the first time, we will give you an additional 50,000 celebration points!』
『Available points: 100,000 points』
“Crazy…”
Point supply and demand beyond imagination. Seong-il is shocked when he receives almost half of the points he earned from playing like a dog for a year.
‘Even though there’s a correction for the first event, doesn’t that mean I earned 50,000 in a quarter?’
‘And judging from the content, do you mean that followers are given points according to the influence they have on the world?’
‘That means, if the number of my followers is large and their skills are excellent, I can get a lot of points for free once every 3 months, right!?’
‘…One more reason to clear this world.’
In fact, if you train three suitable heroines and make them your followers, you can clear the game and increase your point collection at the same time, so Seong-il decides to play Mythology Academy a little harder.
‘It’s nice to be motivated, but why are you giving followers settlement points now? Was there even a minimum number of followers for an event to occur…?’
There were many suspicious things, but Seong-il had no intention of digging. He is grateful for the luck he has been given, and considers where to spend his points.
‘Should I buy a black ball with 100,000 points? Or should I use the remaining 100,000 to buy games?’
With happy thoughts, Seong-il falls asleep for the next day’s exam.
“Ow… It’s full.”
Quite a lot of psychic looks. At a cursory glance, it looked like there were over 100 students, so we could see how many students were enrolled this year.
‘I even said that there are three test sites.’
Of course, Seong-il, who knows that about 100 of them will drop out, doesn’t feel much emotion.
‘It’s a pretty cruel system. Mythology Academy’s competitive system is.’
Mythology Academy’s policy of deliberately selecting 30 percent more than the quota to encourage endless competition and eliminating dropouts in order to inspire students’ academic motivation.
Since they are trembling in fear of an invasion from the outside world, they understood the desire of the two forces to train high-level guardians, but they couldn’t help but look cruel.
‘Well… This world is a matter for this world to take care of, and I, who has nothing to do with it, should take a test…’
Receive the theory test paper given by the supervisor and check the content. The content of the test is also in Korean. Thanks to this, Seongil was able to read the contents without difficulty.
‘Fuck… Is this in Korean? I don’t even understand what you mean?’
A level of difficulty that is brutal. Seong-il feels his head turning white like a sheet of paper.
‘Fuck… You mean you have to take this exam every quarter? It must be tough…’
Seong-il thinks that he should stop the game time during the exam period and study the exam range at the Pineapple House.
‘Driving me crazy…’
Seong-il habitually puts his hand in his arms and fiddles with his phone, feeling the pressure of not being able to solve a single problem.
‘…?!’
Then I felt a strange sense of incongruity. Seong-il realizes that this sense of incongruity is a newly awakened psychic ability based on what he experienced in the previous telekinesis awakening.
‘Uh… What is it? Did you awaken a new psychic power during the last strengthening procedure…?’
The problem was that unlike telekinesis, which was able to know how to start because of a teaching aid called Choi Hyeon-woo, I did not know what kind of ability it was, nor how to start it.
‘Ah… That’s a hit… I’ll have to find out what kind of ability he awakened later when he has time.’
In the end, after worrying about this and that, in fact, Seong-il turned out almost blank papers for the exam. He moves to the practical test site with a weak appearance.
‘Ah… Is the practical exam difficult…?’
Seong-il literally ruined the theory test. Thanks to this, he waits for the test at the practical test center with a lot of tension.
“Nice to meet you guys. My name is Aaron Bjornsen.”
‘Aaron Bjornsen? He’s a professor famous for his self-confidence.’
Professor Aaron Bjornsen, who doesn’t have much importance in the game, but appears as the owner of a very outstanding talent in the setting. However, apart from his ability, he was also a professor who did not have much contact with the main character.
‘Wasn’t he a professor who wasn’t friendly to the main character…? What did you say? Did he tell you to quit if you’re going to do something like that to a subject with no talent?’
When Seong-il was alone in his thoughts, he was a man who stood on the podium and looked down at the students with a dignified expression and introduced himself. At first glance, as if he were an overseer, there were piles of rocks of various sizes behind his back.
‘Why did they arrange the rocks by size…?’
Roughly 10 types of rocks. The material looks the same, but the size ranges from a fist-sized rock to a house-sized rock. There were several types.
“The content of the test is simple. Choose any one of the rocks behind me and lift it with telekinesis.”
Even in the world of Mythology Academy, the most basic psychic power was telekinesis, so there was nothing like telekinesis to test the abilities of newly admitted freshmen.
‘Hmm… I guess I’ll just pick up an average-sized stone after watching the other kids lift it.’
In order not to stand out, Seong-il made an estimate inwardly. He shakes his head and thinks hard.
“First target. Han Seong-il to come out.”
‘No… Fuck… Why are you calling me?’
Embarrassingly, the instructor who called himself. Seong-il feels a cold sweat running down his back.
“Is there Han Seong-il? Han Seong-il!”
“Yes!! G… I’m going now!”
“Come up quickly.”
“Yes…”
Seong-il went up to the podium with an expression that he really didn’t want to go. The instructor continues talking to him.
“As explained before, select a rock and lift it with telekinesis.”
“Yes.”
With a cautious expression, Seong-il ponders what to lift so that he can get over it without standing out in moderation.
‘Kkeuh… Would it be okay if I lifted a roughly third-sized rock…?’
Seong-il did not want to receive too low a rating. A rating that is too low can also attract undue attention, so he chooses a third size rock that looks as reasonable as possible.
A rock roughly half the size of a car. It wasn’t a small rock by any means, but it wasn’t a size that was particularly burdensome to Seong-il, who had grown stronger.
‘Since it’s an academy with talented people, I should listen to this much, right?’
Seong-il, who thought so, raised his inner energy and strengthened his telekinesis, then naturally started lifting the rock.
“Whoa…”
Seong-il feels sweat flowing from his body because he is highly focused.
For a moment, I felt like there was a buzz around me, but when my concentration went up to its peak, the noise completely disappeared.
‘Concentration…!! Concentration…!!’
He’s been concentrating for a while. Soon after, a fairly large rock is lifted into the air without difficulty.
‘Whoa… I thought I was dying of blood.’
Seong-il was extremely nervous because he was unluckily the first person to take the test. Even though it was not a very difficult test, he feels that his mental strength has been exhausted excessively.
“Hu… Is it passing?”
“Yes. Wait by the side.”
“Yes.”
Fortunately, when the instructor gives the pass without saying anything, Seong-il calmly moves to the waiting area and waits for the exam to end.
‘Theory is 0 points, practical skills are covered in the middle…?’
With a slightly relaxed expression, he watches other students take their exams.
“Profit…!!”
The figure of a student lifting a rock the size of a human head with clenched teeth and telekinetic power. Seeing that, Seong-il clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘Jean’s level is low. It’s so hard to lift only one head.’
It seems that the overall level of the students is falling because they added about 30 percent more as a substitute.
Watching them leisurely, Seong-il also evaluates the level of other students.
“Early…?”
However, the level of students who have not changed despite the passage of time.
Ironically, most of the students were at the level of the first students or not.
At best, the students with outstanding grades held rocks the size of an adult’s torso.
‘…Fuck, I think something’s fucked up?’
Feeling his spine tighten, Seong-il begins to think that something is wrong.
‘Fuck, why are you staring at me in between, you bastards?’
The stinging gaze of the surroundings that is stuck in oneself. Seong-il moves his body to a dark corner as much as possible to avoid their gaze.
