The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 53
Physical Fitness Test (5)
As an educational institution for Awakeners, Han Yul Military Academy is a prime example.
Han Yul Military Academy is one of the higher education institutions recognized by the country, fulfilling the role of a university.
In addition to academic classes, it conducts related research, provides various combat training, and upon graduation, students can receive degrees just like other regular universities.
If you were born as an Awakener in South Korea, it would be common sense to enter Han Yul Military Academy.
“That’s all in the past. In the end, what’s important for Awakeners is practical experience. And our Guild Academy can provide that.”
However, not all Awakeners gather at Han Yul Military Academy. Some go straight to the field without any education, and there are options like the Guild Academy that Ryu Jung-min mentioned.
Guild Academy. It refers to a private educational institution operated by the guild itself, not by the state.
Think of it roughly as an academy. And with the title of Yeonwol, there’s no need to mention the level of education. They must have assembled a team of star instructors.
“How about it? Instead of wasting time sitting in a classroom, why not come to our guild and learn properly?”
I have just received a scouting offer. Directly from Yeonwol’s guild leader, Ryu Jung-min.
But am I really worth that much? I’m only a C-rank.
I decided to ask why they chose me.
“Why me?”
“I saw potential in you.”
What potential did he see? The only thing I showed in the physical fitness test was a long jump record of just 1.8 meters.
And I don’t have any special skills to make up for that record in the remaining time. This body is not only lacking in physical aspects but also in magical abilities.
I don’t know what he’s relying on to rush the contract from the second day of the physical fitness test. I’m not some top-tier prospect like Arna….
“I can clearly see it. Your potential.”
Ryu Jung-min was different from other scouts. He had a knack for finding capable students based on his own intuition rather than relying on data.
Thanks to that keen eye, he was able to grow Yeonwol into a large guild.
In a way, you could say he had the eyes of Midas.
“By the way, our Yeonwol hasn’t proposed a contract to anyone yet. In other words, you’re the first pick.”
Ryu Jung-min said confidently, puffing out his chest.
The surroundings began to stir.
─Did you hear? Shin Yoon-seong is the first pick….
─Not Arna… Not Rashid, who aced the physical test yesterday… That Shin Yoon-seong…?
In sports terms, it’s like kicking out top prospects in the first round of the draft and picking someone you’d expect to see in the lower rounds first.
It was nothing short of madness.
Ryu Jung-min committed that madness.
Here, in the middle of the outdoor training ground, with all the students watching.
“….”
Is this a hidden camera prank? Are they really going to pick me as the first pick? Did this lady have a drink during the day? She must be seriously mistaken about me.
No matter how much of a hipster I am, what makes me so special?
All I can do is hit people on the head with a spoon, tease Arna by calling her a boob monster, go to the community to bash Arna when I’m bored, and visit the emergency room frequently.
That’s all there is to it.
“Hehe, you’re making quite an interesting face. I’ve seen it often. People with faces like yours… Kkaang…!”
Bang─!
At that moment, someone hit Ryu Jung-min on the crown of his head. They mercilessly punched the head of Yeonwol.
“How dare you try to steal our precious student. It was announced that pre-contact with first and second-year students is prohibited.”
The person had silver hair like Ryu Jung-min. In fact, it was more like white hair that had lost its color with age.
It turned out to be Kim Dong-hak, the instructor of the technical department.
“Ugh… Kim Dong-hak…!”
“Shin Yoon-seong is still a second-year student. If you want to make a formal contract, come back next year. Be satisfied with the showcase this year, Ryu Jung-min.”
“You old geezer…!”
Frustrated by being hit by Kim Dong-hak, Ryu Jung-min didn’t hold back and charged at him, swinging his fists wildly.
“Die, die, die, die, die, die…!”
Kim Dong-hak held onto Ryu Jung-min’s forehead and looked around at the surrounding students.
“What are you all doing? It’s almost time for the physical fitness test. Get ready.”
The students returned to their places and began to loosen up. The situation was quickly being brought under control.
“And Shin Yoon-sung.”
“Yes, instructor.”
“You’re still a second-year student.”
To enter the Guild Academy, you have to quit the Hanyul Officer School you’re currently attending. In other words, you have to drop out.
Kim Dong-hak gave me a warning, saying it was too early to make such a decision.
I nodded, indicating that I understood.
“Yes, I know.”
“Good. That’s a relief.”
Kim Dong-hak released Ryu Jung-min’s forehead. Ryu Jung-min, with an angry face, argued with Kim Dong-hak.
“Hmph! Since when did the old man start worrying about students! It’s really funny!”
“Ryu Jung-min, have you already forgotten the grace of your teacher?”
“What? Are you talking to me? Do I owe you anything, Kim Dong-hak?”
Ryu Jung-min stared at Kim Dong-hak with a question mark above his head.
“If you don’t remember, I’ll have to remind you.”
Kim Dong-hak smiled slyly. He then began to bring up a story from the past that had been hidden away.
“It was more than 10 years ago, I think. Exactly when you were a first-year student, during training, you wet your pants….”
“Ah…! Aaaaaah…! Stop…! Stooooooop…!”
Ryu Jung-min struggled to cover Kim Dong-hak’s mouth. As it was almost time for the physical fitness test, Kim Dong-hak took Ryu Jung-min outside to the training ground to chase him away.
─If you tell anyone about that, you’ll really die by my hand! Got it?
─Do you still have the underwear the instructor bought you?
─Shut uuuuuuuup…!
In the end, the conversation about the contract ended without any proper discussion.
Well, I never intended to enter the Guild Academy anyway.
Because Arna wouldn’t be there.
“Hmm….”
Meanwhile, Arna had come to my side at some point. She was hesitating and clearing her throat for no reason. She seemed to have something to say.
“What is it?”
“Ah, that, that is….”
Arna scratched her cheek awkwardly for a moment. Then, she carefully opened her mouth.
“Are you… dropping out…?”
“Drop out?”
It was because of the suggestion Ryu Jung-min made earlier. She seemed genuinely curious if I was really joining Yeonwol.
“Why. Do you want me to leave this place as soon as possible?”
“N-no, that’s not what I meant…!”
“What do you mean it’s not? It’s written all over your face right now.”
“….”
Arna’s face, which was full of embarrassment, soon began to cool down. Then, Arna quickly turned her head.
“Hmph! Fine! Someone like you would only cause harm if you stayed at this school! So I hope you leave soon!”
Arna continued to speak without stopping. Her tone was a bit rougher than usual.
“Probably everyone thinks the same way! No one wants you to stay at this school! No! One!”

[Breaking News] Combat Department 2nd Year Shin Yoon-sung, Contract with Yeonwol Imminent!
Damn, Ryu Jung-min showed up at the outdoor training ground lol
He went straight to Shin Yoon-sung and asked him to sign a contract?
Since they can’t make an official contract yet, he just told him to drop out and join their guild academy lol
The funniest part is that Shin Yoon-sung is Yeonwol’s first pick lol They didn’t even go to Arna lol
Skipping Arna and picking Shin Yoon-sung lol
Is this for real???????????
───
└Shin Yoon-sung is the first pick? This guy is trolling, reporting him
└How can they skip Arna and pick Shin Yoon-sung? I really don’t get it, so I’m asking
└A record of 0 wins and 24 losses is Yeonwol’s first pick lol Does he have some kind of video of Ryu Jung-min?
└Looks like Yeonwol is out of options… They probably don’t have the money to offer Arna a contract, so they’re just picking up anyone they can…
└So what did Shin Yoon-sung say? Did he sign the contract?
└If I were Shin Yoon-sung, I would have dropped out immediately and joined Yeonwol. LOL, easy money from a big company. LOL
└In this case, dropping out is the right choice.
“Ah, no…!”
Bang─!
But there was one person who wanted Shin Yoon-sung to stay in school.
That person was Chae Soo-eun.
