Episode 10

Episode 10. Entrance Exam (7)

‘Ugh, I can’t believe the day is coming when I actually meet that guy.’

A scary man with a face full of scars.

If Elester was my favorite teacher, that man named Charon was my least favorite teacher.

‘Zero flexibility, extreme bluntness.’

During gameplay, you are usually given three or four choices each time you talk to a character, but Charon only has one or two.

Sometimes conversation was impossible.

Well, there are other reasons, but they’re not important right now, so let’s move on.

“Ten people will fight in groups in the order they stand now. “The test is not over until one person remains.”

“Now, just a moment. I have friends too… … If you change the group… … .”

From children who came to Seoul together to take the entrance exam to children who became friends during the test.

Since they were gathered in groups of twos and threes, most of the children were in one group.

It was the same for me and Luna.

“I reject it. It is a battlefield where swords are stabbed between family members, let alone close friends. “Don’t sound weak.”

“Well, that…” … .”

The children were making noise, but Charon didn’t move a thing.

I was busy continuing the explanation of the third test.

“It doesn’t matter whether I fight alone or with a team. The important thing is to show your skills. So that it can be faithfully implemented.”

“So, does that mean that only one person from the group will pass?”

“I don’t think I ever said that. If you want to pass, you just have to do your best. more. “So that the first group can go up to the competition venue.”

“B-already!? no! Rather, please tell me exactly what the passing conditions are!”

The children had a seizure as a group, and the children in the first group had a match.

Guys, give up. Because that guy is crazy and has no flexibility at all.

“Well, now that I think about it, I forgot one thing.”

“Yeah, right? More detailed explanations and more time to think… … .”

“For safety reasons, we use bats, wooden swords, and wooden clubs here. “So that the first group can enter holding one by one.”

“… … .”

The children froze with their mouths wide open.

This may be because they are confused as to whether what is in front of them is a person or a testing machine.

Well, if you stay with Charon, you will soon realize that.

That the test machine has a warmer heart than that human being.

‘Cold-blooded enough to make the machine’s heart feel warmer.’

That was the definition I gave to the person named Charon.

The kids were shocked, but it was none of my business. Because the important thing now was sparring.

‘Actually, the rules aren’t that difficult.’

Ten people fight.

It shows an individual’s abilities, not wins or losses.

The successful candidate may be one out of ten, one out of ten, or none.

This means that simple but somewhat subjective judgment criteria are included.

However, children who did not know this could not help but be confused.

‘Well, I have Luna so there’s nothing to worry about.’

‘Sparring’, the third test event.

However, simple ‘force’ alone does not determine whether or not you pass.

Force, psychological warfare, survivability, team building, synergy between team members, etc.

Everything is an evaluation factor.

If we were to solve one piece of information that only people know, it would be what gets the highest score.

These are ‘overwhelming force’, ‘the ability to shape the game’, and ‘dominance’.

‘It means that forming a team with a strong person or building a majority alliance is also considered a skill.’

Of course, we cannot know because the scorecard is not made public.

I’m just guessing that this might be the result of various experiments with stagnant people.

‘Would it be helpful if I told you a little bit? I really hate it, really.’

Anyway, I was confident that I would pass easily.

With Luna’s overwhelming force, eight people are defeated, and Luna makes me go down under orders.

Then I easily passed.

‘Control the strong with one command. This is also a skill. If you threaten her in exchange for information, Luna will surrender… … huh?’

It was time to look at the faces of the children in the same group.

I see a somewhat familiar face.

A child with a small body that makes one think she is a girl, an innocent look with glasses on, and a typical schoolboy style.

‘… … ‘Why are you here?’

The embarrassment was short-lived. I turned my brain and quickly replayed the first part of the game.

Damn, I forgot.

There was a second reason why Luna didn’t get into the advanced class.

‘Raymon… … !’

I will become one of the main characters alongside Rodelin and one of the five monsters of the academy.

Well, the one who cut off Luna’s arm was a different guy.

After touching Luna’s shoulder, he whispered carefully.

“Hehe, I recommend fighting that kid last.”

“… … That nerd? why? “It looks the easiest.”

Yes, I guess so.

Luna is clearly strong. But that’s just based on the standards of ordinary children.

Contrary to his appearance, Raimon is a master swordsman who sees all attacks and blocks them.

He doesn’t have a good compatibility with Luna.

In fact, the reason Luna didn’t get into the advanced class was partly because she wasted her stamina, but Raimon’s reason for existing was a big reason.

When playing the game with the Raimon character, there is a battle tutorial event.

One extra yells and charges, and according to the tutorial instructions, calmly counterattacks and lands a blow.

The extra who was knocked out in that blow was none other than ‘Luna.’

The humiliation of being treated as an extra without even a name, let alone an illustration of the face.

During multiple playthroughs, it was revealed that ‘that extra was actually Luna’, giving users a big laugh.

Of course, for us now, it’s Raymon.

‘He is as evil as the devil.’

You’re trying to beat me up because my only goal is to get into the academy.

He’s a real bad guy.

‘We’re in trouble.’

It’s none of my business if Luna explodes, but it’s troubling if I explode.

If you lose badly here, it is obvious that you will miss out on admission to the advanced class.

‘I will fly as two extras with Luna.’

Moreover, there is no route to defeat Raymon in the entrance exam.

No, this is a route without such a situation.

‘It’s a path no one has ever taken before.’

In other words, this means that I have to overcome this situation purely with my own strength.

My body trembled slightly.

Is it because you’re scared? No way. The reason I’m shaking so much… … .

‘It’s so fun it’s driving me crazy.’

As an enemy, the one character I never want to face is a character called Raimon.

But having to fight such a monster?

Isn’t this a special event that no one has ever experienced before and will never be able to experience again?

I can’t help but be happy.

“Miss Luna, how far have you cultivated your family’s secret techniques?”

“What kind of bullshit are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“I’m asking if there is a secret technique that can be used other than Ilseom. Wolyeong or hell… … “There is such a thing, right?”

“… … .”

Luna’s eyes are fierce.

A look in his eyes that seemed to say, ‘How much do you know?’

However, he soon realized the seriousness of the situation and obediently opened his mouth.

“You can use everything. But if you think about accuracy and power… … Ilseom is the best skill I have. The rest are still too good to be used in practice… … .”

The only thing worth using is a little bit.

The situation is more serious than you think.

“Besides, in my current physical condition, even a single stroke is not perfect. maybe… … “Three times is probably the limit.”

Luna is in an unstable state due to the damage she received from illusion magic.

Oh, you think it’s because I ordered him to headbutt me?

uh… … That can’t be possible. Our Luna is a very strong child!

“But is he that strong? “Enough for you to worry?”

“In terms of talent, he is the best I have ever seen. The potential seems high… … “He’s a friend I look forward to.”

“Then what about me? “How do you think my talent looks?”

“Well, if you look closely, he’s probably a bright kid.”

Luna’s eyes became gloomy. But this is probably something Luna also knows.

You must have felt something while training for 5 years.

‘In the first place, Luna’s characteristics are not innate talent.’

It is possible to rise to the rank of genius. It just needs a little time.

Well, it would still be impossible to beat Raymon.

But now Luna’s help is needed. I needed a little awakening.

“Miss Luna.”

“… … why?”

“Talent is not as big a deal as you think. If you try hard, you can catch up someday. Surpassing is something to think about later.”

“… … “What kind of bullshit is this all of a sudden?”

“It means don’t give up. “No matter how overwhelming your talent, there are weaknesses.”

“Hmm… … “Does it sound like I’m an opponent I can never defeat?”

“you’re right.”

“Hmm… … .”

“But there is a way to pass the test.”

Luna’s eyes lit up.

“Then explain quickly. “Don’t hesitate.”

“First of all, excluding me, Miss Luna, and that friend, I’m dropping the remaining seven.”

“and?”

“Please save me. “Only then will this operation work.”

Luna nodded.

“You mean to save your stamina. Okay, what next?”

“You will find out when we fight.”

“You’re doing well and then suddenly what kind of bullshit are you talking about?” “Tell me until the end!”

Luna grabbed my collar and shook me violently.

But I can’t help it. This operation is likely to fail if you know about it in advance.

‘Because Luna isn’t the type to act well.’

So you have to realize it while fighting. my operation.

But now it seemed like I needed an excuse to survive.

“Miss Luna, I am not your teacher. Realize it yourself. “That will promote growth.”

“tooth… … “If you can’t even talk.”

“Well, let me give you a hint: this is a historically proven strategy and the best strategy… … .”

gulp-.

Luna swallowed and pricked up her ears.

Well, it was definitely a great strategy.

Universal. A legend written everywhere… … .

“You could call it Operation Daguri.”

Luna’s eyes became bitter and cold.

* * *

A mess unfolded before my eyes. A melee where ten people fight.

However, after 2 or 3 groups, most of them showed similar patterns.

‘As expected, everyone forms a team. ‘It’s just like the game.’

Daguri is a great strategy that has been proven historically.

Luna seemed to be the only one who did not know the majesty of this strategy.

“Next, enter Article 13!”

It was a group that included me, Luna, and Raimon.

Each person entered the competition hall holding a wooden sword in their hand.

“start!”

The third test begins without any preparation signal.

But no one complained.

Because I was repeating the same situation for the thirteenth time already.

“Surround!”

A bit hectic, but quick.

There were four for us and three for Raymon.

It was natural and expected.

We were invited to a party before going up to the competition venue, but we declined.

‘It was split into two, one for me and one for Luna.’

So what I have to do is simple.

You just have to endure it. Until Luna comes after taking care of those two.

“Put it in the corner! “If you fail the competition, you are eliminated!”

“Let’s attack at the same time!”

Two children approached me with sad faces.

I am too weak to defeat even one of them.

but.

“Hehehe, are you okay? “I’m pretty strong.”

“Uh, mmm!”

Baseless confidence.

But it was enough bravado to stop the two kids from approaching.

Even if you corner me, I can’t rush to attack you.

“Hey, just hit it! “I’ll go first!”

“shit! okay!”

The bluff only worked for 20 seconds.

It’s really about to rush in. But there is nothing to worry about.

“Hehe, are you okay? “My familiar, whom everyone fears, is coming.”

“Ah, a familiar?”

“It is a lie! Screw you!”

“Hey, yaap!”

Pow! Bah!

“Cow!”

“Ahh!”

Two people fell out of the stadium in an instant.

Luna was standing in front of me, out of breath.

“Hehehe, that’s great. “My servant.”

“shut up! “After all, I sorted it all out!”

“you’re right. Everything is as planned.”

Ppajik-.

A strange sound echoed in Luna’s head.
