Chapter 351 – Mythology Academy
Seong-il, who was suddenly caught up in (?) By the two’s ruse, follows Claudia with staggering steps, thinking that nothing will work out.
‘Haa… Anyway, I decided to fold the method of hiding my abilities. What…’
‘Let’s just think that I became the main character in the second episode. As a result, I have to stop the modification of foreign media so that I can continue to exist in this world…’
Effortlessly giving himself a sense of justification, Seong-il follows Claudia and enters the lead room.
“Ah! Manager, are you here!!”
“Ohohohoho! Good morning everyone!”
“Yes!!”
Members enthusiastically greet Claudia as she enters the room. In particular, her male members have expressions of envy for her, and they try to show her bright side to her even more.
“…But who’s in the back?”
After the greeting, a male member looks at Seongil and asks a question with a questioning expression.
“Ah! You mean this guy? That’s a good question! Members!! Attention everyone!!”
“…?”
Everyone’s attention is drawn to Claudia’s majestic cry. As the members all look at her, Claudia puts on a satisfied expression and starts explaining while beckoning Seongil behind her.
“Everyone! Have you heard about the newly enrolled genius psychic?”
“Ah… The one who appeared for the first time in 10 years…?”
“Yes! That’s right! The junior right behind me is that!! Genius!!! Superpowered!!! Han Seong-il!!!”
“And…!!”
“…”
The atmosphere of the leading team split in half at Claudia’s explanation. Some look at Seong-il with admiration, and some look vaguely disapproving.
‘Hmm… Seeing how the atmosphere is changing, there must be some ‘watchers’ among those who hate me, right?’
Tala’s follower hiding in the lead. In order to understand Ganja, who is commonly referred to as the ‘watcher’, Seong-il begins to look at the members who see him negatively.
‘There is only one watcher whose identity is actually revealed in the game. For the rest, it is impossible to identify because only the text appears with the same notation as Member 1 and 2.’
In fact, strictly speaking, none of them were identified, but only illustrations were shown during in-game play, not names.
‘There is a slight difference between the illustration and the actual appearance of the game world, so be as meticulous as possible…’
For this reason, Seong-il uses the “Mechanical operation” Obtained from Pocket Girls not long ago to launch augmented reality. After that, Seong-il launches the stories of the characters prepared in advance and starts looking for the target.
‘Hmm… There must be a beauty who smiles and speaks kindly when dealing with people or when she opens her mouth, but when she closes her mouth, she exudes a strange atmosphere…’
Although he was a character whose name did not appear properly, Seong-il remembered the character because the character design was pretty.
So, he looks around and confirms that a person catches his eye.
‘…That’s him!!’
A short-haired woman with a strange atmosphere. It’s hard to see her as a down-to-earth beauty like Elaine or Claudia, but her looks, which can be said to be above average, stand out for her.
‘All I remember about him was his big breasts!!’
Just looking at it, the size of the chest looks huge. Seong-il feels that his heart is moved by the body of a woman who looks like an F cup.
‘Your skin is nice too. No, most people in this world seem to have good skin?’
The time when I was enjoying the look of the beholder for such a short time. Due to the warning given by her 『Emotion』, Seongil feels that the woman is trying to notice her gaze.
‘Once, later…’
In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Seong-il quickly looks away.
“…For this reason, I personally scouted Seongil-gun, so I hope everyone will welcome you!!”
Clap clap clap!!
The appearance of the members who seemed to welcome him enthusiastically on the outside. However, Seong-il does not miss the fact that some of the personnel are making sad faces.
‘As expected, the atmosphere is split in half.’
Seong-il easily grasps such a subtle atmosphere, probably because he has already grasped the crisis of the leading team in detail through gameplay.
“First of all… Albert knows, right?”
“Yes.”
“He’s helping me with the executive department. He’s the first to come forward when a problem arises on campus. And Miss Ella over there is…”
Claudia introduces about 30 members one by one. After explaining all the members, she tells Seong-il.
“For your information, we plan to recruit about 10 students out of the 2nd graders this year! Seongil is the only 1st grader, so you can be proud!!”
“Ah yes…”
As soon as Claudia’s words fell off, the gazes of hostility mingled with subtle hostility flew toward Seongil. Most of the members sending aggressive signals were male.
‘The men are actually at the level of Claudia’s fanboys.’
Claudia, the representative beauty of the academy, was so popular that she even had a fan club. Because of this, Seong-il lightly overlooks the hostile gaze of such men.
‘If you look there, there will be tricks of these guys.’
Seong-il, who has perfectly grasped the atmosphere of the leadership team in such a short time, quietly listens to Claudia’s speech.
“Because of…!! I hope the leading members will help Seongil well. In that sense, Seongil-kun?”
“Yes?”
“Tell me about your impressions of joining!”
“Uh… Nice to meet you. There were twists and turns, but I ended up joining like this. I hope you’ll give me lots of guidance. That’s all.”
Clap clap clap!!
The members responded with applause to Seongil’s short testimony about joining. In the meantime, someone starts clapping their hands and making a low, sarcastic remark.
“…It’s arrogant to say that it’s 1st grade. That’s right, it’s about being a freshman in 1st grade. Isn’t it too privileged?”
It was low, but since there were few people and it was densely packed, his voice could be heard by anyone who could hear it. Seeing that expression, Seong-il looked at him with a smile as if he was interested, and Claudia solidified her impression of her in the moment.
‘Since she’s the one next to her, there’s a good chance he’s also a watcher, right?’
The appearance of a male senior with a strangely negative attitude and a different focus from earlier. In particular, when Claudia praised Seong-il, most of the other men gave jealous glances, but he was clearly maintaining a different form of negativity.
‘Hmm… Then, shall we try provocation?’
The main character of the gameplay is gentle and sociable, but Seong-il, who decided to go with the concept of a cheeky genius, decided to use a more rough and direct method rather than the same as the original.
‘Even if you go to Moro, you just have to arrive at the destination!’
Seong-il, who thought so, blatantly kept an eye on the senior who was sarcastic towards him, and got lucky with him.
“That’s a very good point.”
“…?!”
Perhaps Seong-il didn’t expect to openly talk to him after hearing his muttering, but he looks a little taken aback.
“Why are you making that face? Didn’t you tell me to listen?”
“Uh…”
“Well, I think you can think that way enough.”
“…Then let’s go.”
Perhaps it was because he thought he was challenging Claudia by speaking openly, but the man muttered quietly to himself. Seong-il sees this, snorts and goes down from the podium to approach him.
“Hey, senior.”
“…!!”
“Is your tongue long?”
“What…?”
“Looking at it, it seems like a person who only sticks out his snout without any manners or skills. Shall we stick together?”
“This bastard…!!”
A male senior who is enraged at Seong-il’s fastball, which is so blatant and rude. Whether he is pissed off or not, Seong-il challenges him with a provocative expression and even points with his finger.
“Isn’t that right? It’s not someone else, it’s Claudia-senpai, who is the leader of the lead department, who scouted me directly, but from the first day, you’ve been beside me? You dare?”
“…”
“However, if I say it openly, I understand. If you’re not confident to stand up to the lead manager, don’t you think that if you’re a cowardly and quiet talker, then of course you don’t have any skills?”
“This bastard…”
Was it because it was so blatant and aggressive? Although Seong-il’s words make sense, even the other wizards, who seemed indifferent to his rude attitude, begin to harden their expressions.
“Why? Are you in a bad mood?”
“Heh…!! A low level like you…”
“Don’t brush your nose, prove it.”
“…”
“Why is my tongue so long? Whether I am a parachute or not is a matter of ending when I look at my skills, right?”
“Heh… From the first day, the manager brought him and beat him up to show the manager’s authority…”
“Prove it.”
“…?”
“Don’t make silly excuses, prove it.”
Seong-il used the same tactic he used to provoke Albert. He looks at him with a smile on his face and begins to raise his inner skills. In doing so, he spreads his psychokinesis widely and densely in all directions, and deepens the heavy atmosphere in the middle.
“Sungil-kun! Stop it!!”
Tuk-tuk.
Instead of answering, Seong-il looks straight at Claudia, who approaches to stop him, and then he taps her on the shoulder to express her refusal.
“Prove it.”
“Gulp…”
With the words getting shorter and shorter, the richness of living spreads in all directions. As the lifeblood naturally spreads through the fierce battles experienced while wandering around the game world, the seniors who quarreled with them, as well as the members around them, unknowingly swallow dry saliva.
Took.
Seong-il approached him at some point. He puts his hand on the shoulder of the senior he was arguing with and looks straight at him with a bloody energy.
“Prove it.”
“Uh… I…”
“You coward. After all, were you just talking?”
“…”
Naturally, the mage would have accepted his challenge with anger. However, Seong-il’s momentum is not at the level of an ordinary student, but that of a professor or an adventurer who has gone through all sorts of battles, so he can’t say he will accept the challenge.
“Stop!!”
A cry erupted from inside the stale room. Seongil turned his head to the side at the familiar voice.
“Stop it.”
“Hmm…”
Interestingly, the appearance of Albert Raivolin drying himself. Seong-il looks at him with an interesting expression when he suddenly appears.
“Sungil-gun’s words were rough, but what he said was actually not wrong.”
“Yes? Senpai Albert, that’s…”
“Shut up!”
“…”
“He’s a talent that Manager Claudia personally scouted. Are you arrogantly arguing about the likes of you? Do you dare?”
“Uh… Senpai, I’m not like that…”
“Noisy! Seongil-kun is a talented person with stronger skills than me!”
“To…?!”
At Albert’s out of the blue remark, a buzz erupted from the hall. Some looked shocked. Some frown and make faces that cannot be lowered. And Albert, who saw that, caught his breath for a while and told them.
“…It’s true. Last week, for the entry test, Seongil and I had a formal sparring in the presence of the two professors.”
“!!!”
“… In addition, I was completely defeated by him. After going through such a verification process and having completed figuring out his skills in advance, the manager and I scouted him.”
“…”
The scenery of the hall as if cold water had been poured. Some still look at Albert and Sungil in disbelief.
“…If you don’t believe it, go see Professor Aron or Professor Ahindel and ask them yourself. They’ll testify for you.”
After mentioning the professor’s testimony, the leading members eventually calmed down the hostile atmosphere and began to quietly shut their mouths.
And Albert, who saw that, began to spit out threatening words to all the members with a voice full of dignity to drive a wedge.
“If…”
“…?”
“One more time, if there is someone who behaves arrogantly undermining the manager’s authority, I will take care of it myself regardless of his position.”
“…”
“If you don’t like that, get rid of the leader right away and go away. Do you understand? Especially, you Devin!”
“…Sorry.”
Perhaps the name of the senior who quarreled with Seong-il was Devin. When Albert scolds him in a sharp tone, Devin apologizes to him with a red face and her head bowed.
‘Tsk… I’m sorry. I wanted to beat up a few suspicious guys to see if they were really ‘Watchers’.’
Seong-il feels sorry for not being able to engage in sparring. But that’s for a while. He examines Albert and connects his thoughts as if he is interested.
‘By the way… Albert must have hated me until last week, but his attitude changed 180 degrees in one week? It’s fun.’
Then, Seong-il starts to affirm himself alone as the situation of the second round of Mythology Academy overlaps.
‘No, come to think of it. In the second round, if the main character’s ability is higher than Albert’s, didn’t Albert show a polite side without attacking the main character? Perhaps, is that reflected in me now?’
Anyway, he didn’t do anything bad to him, so Seong-il shrugs his shoulders and decides to stop his provocation.
‘First of all, since I’ve found a few suspects, shall we try this today…?’
Seong-il stopped the provocation and returned to the podium. Seeing him like that, Claudia sneaks her back to keep her crew from seeing her and then speaks quietly to him.
“…After all the meetings for a while, talk to me.”
“…Yes.”
When Seong-il nods lightly and agrees, Claudia, who has a beautiful smile that captivates him, turns his head and proposes a meeting to the members.
“Now, the greetings for the new recruits are over. Shall we start the agenda for this semester?”
“Yes!”
As if the members were used to it, they moved to the conference hall and began to take their seats at the large round table located there.
