Academy Dropout Is Too Strong - Academy Dropout Is Too Strong chapter 45

45. final exam and future

After the sports meet, the cadets soon returned to their daily lives.

“Wow, the end of today’s lecture.”

“Now it’s lunchtime, so why is it already over!”

I mean school class.

What is the daily life of students besides listening to lectures intently?

At least, active friends say they go to leisure facilities on campus after school.

For example, a karaoke room.

‘Um, I don’t think I need to go.’

I often went to dinner parties in my previous life, but I had no intention of going at this time, right before the final exam.

If I don’t drink, I’m not the type to get excited, and I’m quite tone-deaf.

There was no such thing as a hobby of bursting someone else’s eardrums while being sober.

“Look, Kangjun! Everyone else is hanging out, so why don’t we do something too?”

However, it seemed that the young master of the Heavenly Demon Church was quite bored.

Indeed, in the 21st century, where there are so many things to play, the endless repetition of training and classes was a harsh schedule.

Club ─ I joined the Korean Hyangwoo Association, but I had never been active.

“Kangjun, it’s not the Association of Korean Residents, it’s the Association of Korean Residents.”

“Isn’t it there… … .”

To be honest, I still don’t know what difference it makes.

Anyway, Chun You-ha wanted to play, as if the academic stress had accumulated, and felt the need to relieve the stress before entering the exam period in earnest.

Thinking that it is worthwhile to lose money, I asked Cheon Yoo-ha what he wanted to do and play.

“I also want to go to a place called karaoke!”

“What, have you never been to a karaoke before?”

“mmm, I’ve never been there before!”

Certainly the world seemed wide.

To think there was a guy who was more munchin than me.

Feeling sorry for him all over again, I gladly decided to go to Coin Karaoke.

“… … What is it, those pitiful eyes?”

There was also a calculation that a karaoke session would be much cheaper than sparring.

Anyway, we went to aka Kono to sing for the first time in our lives.

“Keee

“… … .”

“My whole life! Even if you give it all! A woman aaa!”

“… … .”

“Uwoaaa!!!!”

Watching Choi Kang-joon pouring all his energy while holding the microphone in his hand, Cheon Yu-ha suddenly realized.

‘Is this a new method of Yin Gong training?’

It seems that it is not to my liking.

There is no need to practice training that does not suit your taste until now.

“Keee

After today, nothing seemed to come.

Spacious penthouse.

The curtains were all closed and the lights were off, so the room was completely dark.

The woman in the middle of the bedroom stared up at the ceiling in dismay.

“… … You shouldn’t see anything.”

However, his f*cking excellent vision allowed him to face reality clearly.

Kisara Kujo even closed her eyelids. Then my vision went dark.

From nob le mt l. co m

Lately, she has lost the will to live. It was because of the damned b*tches in the class next door.

… … I lost in the national team game, lost in the match during class, and even lost the soccer game.

A whopping 3 consecutive defeats?

It was to the point where I wondered how long it had been since he had gone down like this.

“… … .”

No, in fact she knew.

That this humiliation was a series of devastating defeats that he had experienced for the first time in his life.

It hurt even more because I wasn’t used to it.

I wanted to cover my eyes so much that I inadvertently wanted to run away from reality.

What put emphasis on such hesitation was the communication that arrived last night.

—Kisara, the situation within the Empire has changed greatly. If it’s okay with you… …

“sh*t.”

After rubbing her face with both hands and washing her face dry, Kisara spoke out in a low voice.

“… … Ansassha, are you there?”

“Yes, did you call?”

Responding to his master’s call, Ansassha sprang out of the darkness.

Kisara, who looked at him for a moment as he prostrated himself loyally as always, involuntarily chanted:

“Let’s go back.”

To my hometown, to the kingdom.

***

Time passed again, and it was the final exam period.

In the meantime, there were numerous theoretical lectures and practices, and after many twists and turns, the students had the ability to take the exam.

Of course, I, who is a talented person with both theory and practical skills, was a different story.

‘Unconditionally All A+.’

Classroom in a tense atmosphere. Calming my mind with a reverent heart, I started reading the question paper 10 minutes after the test started.

[ 1. A party is exploring an A-class maze-type dungeon. 5 members in total. The party of warriors, archers, wizards, healers, and porters found a problem on the fifth day, the final stage of the dungeon raid.

Assuming the worst situation during the attack, how will you, the party leader, solve the problem?

※It is assumed that each individual in the party has A-class (Super Apocalypse, Circle 6) combat power. ]

‘Surely, is it an essay-type problem?’

It was a problem prepared by the professor from the beginning of the exam to make trouble for the cadets.

Cadets who have experienced dungeons lightly, but never looked at them professionally, have limited imagination about the worst case scenario.

‘But I’m different!’

It has been 10 years since I worked as a mercenary specializing in dungeon raiding.

I was a veteran who had experienced every conceivable case.

I moved the pen confidently.

[A grade maze-type dungeon, the Labyrinth of Incubus changes the achievement of men with weak mental power… … One of the party members, Jason, a porter, became infected with madness and killed Gengoro, the healer, on the first night of the raid… … ]

I was sure that the answer would be admirable if the professor saw it, and I wrote a one-page story of my experience.

***

The test is over.

From nob le mt l. co m

Looking back now, it seemed like it had passed in an instant.

What if I can’t reach the peak when I first start the first semester?

It seems like it was only yesterday that I was worried, but it was after I had completely finished the final exam.

“Young laborers, Shiki.”

After returning once, I was confident.

It’s limited to one semester, but I’ve been through all the curriculum, and no matter how old I am, I wonder if my semester grades have gone up a lot.

Yes, it will be in the top 10 at least.

I waited for the report card to come with such blind expectations.

It’s about time to come… … .

It’s like walking around the room restlessly.

Tring-!

come!

As soon as the notification went off, I ran to the terminal and checked the message with trembling hands.

I read the report card that arrived.

[Basic Combat Guidance Theory (3) – A+, Introduction to Parktuhak (3) – A+, Ecology of Dungeons and Demonic Worlds (3) – A+, Great Magic (How to deal with magic) (2) – A+, Meditation (1) – P]

“Yeah, f*ck it, that’s it.”

Nothing has changed from the midterm exam, a perfect grade of ‘All A+’.

First of all, it was clear that I had gotten the best grades possible.

‘Well then, next… … ‘

The damn lead had a damn tradition.

At the end of each semester, all undergraduate students’ grades are distributed to all cadets.

In my previous life, I had spent gloomy days receiving tearful transcripts, grades in the department, and letters of recommendation for voluntary expulsion.

‘But this time it’s different.’

First of all, I will never be expelled, and since it’s an All A+, it’s rather that the top ranking and scholarship will be confirmed.

With a pounding heart, I operated the terminal and moved to the next page.

After passing the loading window for a moment, the entire rank of the first year of the combat department came into view.

‘My name, Choi Kang-jun, Choi Kang-jun, Choi Kang-jun… … ‘

The superhuman’s transcendent body vision instantly found his name.

[ 3. Choi Kang-jun. ]

That meant 3rd overall.

“Eurekaaa!!!”

I screamed as I struggled with joy.

I was much happier than when I reached the climax or super-climax.

I had experienced those things in my previous life, but it was something I had never done before being third in the whole school.

Yes, in my previous life, I was expelled with a grade of 290 as soon as the first semester was over!

I’d be number one if only in terms of fighting ability, but right now it was fine.

“Former 298th… … Was I, an expelled student, ranked third in the entire school?”

From nob le mt l. co m

Life was happy enough just to savor the joy given to me.

After repeating his ranking for a long time, he regained his reason only after several tens of minutes.

Now that I’m done, it’s time to take a quick look at what the other guys are doing.

[ 1. Kishin ]

“Well, this doesn’t change.”

In his previous life, he was the one who graduated early as the top of the class.

I don’t know because I’ve never taken an exam in the same space, but I heard that he had the highest level of superficial status and that he got decent test scores.

“Okay, you acknowledge.”

After meticulously checking the position of the top of the grade, I lowered my eyes a little to check the second place.

[ 2. Cheon Yuha ]

The name looked somehow familiar.

“You wouldn’t admit it.”

No, this guy studies better than me?

“No, Kang Joon. Didn’t you only take 12 credits of lectures? If it is higher than the perfect score of 21, is that something that I should feel sad about?”

“… … That’s right.”

It was disputed while having lunch mates right away.

Well, the superficial level is the same as the superficial level, so you have to look at the class grades, but Chun Yu-ha listened much harder to that.

Taking only 12 credits is holding you back here.

“Damn it.”

Of course, if I had listened to other lectures, I couldn’t guarantee a perfect score, so even if I increased it, I wouldn’t know.

It’s just that being defeated by an idiot who only knows sparring is a huge shame… … .

Just as she was about to hold back her tears, Chun Yu-ha, who was chewing on the fried fish, suddenly spoke up.

“Ah, Kangjun, do you know that? It seems that several of the top cadets dropped out this time.”

“… … what?”

“There were about three or four cadets whose names weren’t on the scorecard, probably already expelled.”

Earlier, I was blinded by the fact that Chun Yu-ha was on top of me, so I couldn’t check the rest of the seats.

I hurriedly took out my terminal and scrolled down to check the rank below me.

[ 4. Lucia ]

From nob le mt l. co m

Lucia, who was originally in second place, was pushed to fourth place by Cheon Yu-ha and me, perhaps because she neglected her studies.

As for the rest of the top ranks, nothing much has changed, just tossing and turning as I knew.

As Chun Yu-ha said, except for a few.

In the ranking table, at least 20th place, there was no one who should show his name.

‘Mizuki Uno, the future Imperial riot commander who should have been the 16th.’

invisible

‘Tadano Ansassha, the 15th place in the entrance grade.’

didn’t look the same.

‘Kisara Kujo, the acting general of the Empire.’

Her name, which was always at the top of her school grades, was not visible even when she scrolled all the way down.

That means Kisara Kujo doesn’t exist in the list of leading students at all.

It’s not like he was expelled, so he must have dropped out.

‘… … That he has already returned.’

It meant that a civil war would soon break out in the kingdom.

The fuse of the war, which should have exploded five years later, has already started to burn.

Also, the future has changed.
