Seo-ah Lee found it difficult to accept the current situation.
A training ground left alone.
An ‘extreme blow’ that did not make a single mistake.
In the meantime.
Everything was full of questions, including the fact that it didn’t do much damage to Minjun.
“Obviously there was no mistake, but how did you prevent it?”
I definitely thought that there would be no trainees in the first year that could compete with me.
“Obviously, it bounced off.”
It didn’t seem like it was real.
Even if I look back again.
The aftermath of the sparring with Minjun was enormous. The sight of the training center being devastated was proof of that.
It was truly surprising that Min-jun was prepared enough to block the ‘extreme blow’.
Moreover, Seo-ah Lee had gathered all of her magical power and energy into the fight.
The sense of desperation that came close to a draw did not go away.
“What on earth is it?”
Now, Seo-Ah Lee no longer thought that Min-Jun was just a trainee.
At best, I thought he might have been disguising himself as a trainee.
“Could it be that he is an active hunter?”
Otherwise.
There is no way he could have blocked his ‘extreme blow’.
So, for what reason is he staying here at the academy while hiding his identity?
I needed to dig into it.
“Yes, I’m sure he’s not just a simple trainee.”
She was sure.
There is something hidden in Minjun.
The start of the second semester is now just around the corner.
Lee Seo-ah decided to wait until that day first.
***
Xenics Academy classroom.
The short(?) summer vacation is over.
The new semester has already begun.
In each classroom, trainees gathered together and were busy exchanging information about what they had been up to.
“This seasonal semester has been so boring that even during winter break, it’s a seasonal semester.”
“I went on a field trip to America this time! The American sensibility was definitely different. “You mean it’s a completely different level than here?”
“I went to a summer festival recently. The scale this time was completely different from last year! But unfortunately, the atmosphere was completely ruined in the middle, which was a problem… .”
“uh? “Wasn’t Cha Min-jun there too?”
“That’s right, wow, I saw it on the news too, but I never dreamed that Cha Min-jun would enter that gate.”
“Like last time, people around Bucheon just consider Cha Min-jun a hero these days, right?”
Recently, the media has been paying a lot of attention to Min-jun, starting with the Anarch incident that occurred in Yeokgok last year.
Moreover, the actual state of Yoo Young-hak is being revealed.
Minjun and Jeong Mincheol had established themselves as a favorable image to the public.
Is it because of that influence?
With the second semester starting, Minjun was able to attract attention wherever he went.
“I heard you were also at this summer festival? I saw it on the news. How was that gate? I heard it’s completely different from the existing gate? Were there any monsters? “What do you think about Jeong Min-cheol now that you’ve met him in person?”
“Can you get Jeong Min-cheol’s autograph? “I’m a total fan.”
“I’m truly jealous, if only I were as talented as you… .”
“Minjun, would you like to join our broadcasting club? “All of your seniors are looking at you favorably, so I think it would be great if you joined our club.”
Of course, there was interest in Minjun before.
However, while getting into the media, I actually hunted monsters with Jeong Min-cheol.
It was true that the interest was significantly different from before.
It was unusual for him to hunt monsters with active hunters while still being a trainee.
It was perhaps natural to envy Minjun.
“I entered by accident too. I went and did nothing. Jeong Min-cheol did it all.”
Min-jun answered indifferently, praising Jeong Min-cheol, who was not present.
Of course, the trainees were not immediately convinced by that one word.
In any case, Minjun was becoming an object of admiration among the trainees.
At that time, the classroom was always noisy and heated.
The classroom door suddenly opened.
Taaaa-
“Nice to meet you. I hope everyone had a good summer vacation, right?”
General advisor of the Department of Archery.
As soon as Professor Park burst through the classroom door, he began scanning the trainees.
“There will be trainees who have grown beyond recognition, and conversely, there will be trainees who have not. But don’t be too discouraged. “I have prepared something special for you!”
“… ?”
Professor Park slammed the lecture table and shouted loudly.
widely-
“As of tomorrow, the grade exam will be conducted! Please note that this year’s grade exams are the last as of tomorrow, so pay special attention!”

“!!”
Grade exam.
This exam is held twice a year and is the only opportunity for trainees to improve their current grade (class).
not only.
The privileges, treatment, amenities, etc. that can be enjoyed within the academy for each grade determined through this.
There was some degree of differentiation.
The grade exam was by far the most sensitive part among trainees.
The trainees sitting around the desks in the classroom literally felt like they had been punched.
A grade exam that was completely unforeseen.
Moreover, it was originally customary for grade exams to be conducted twice each semester each year.
It was said that this grade exam would be completed only once, which was enough to cause opposition among trainees.
“professor! “Wouldn’t it be too sudden to ask for a grade exam tomorrow?”
“that’s right. “I was completely absorbed in the seasonal semester during summer vacation.”
“Ah, isn’t this a bit over the line?”
“I really screwed up!”
“No, absolutely not!”
The trainees shouted, hoping that the grading exam schedule would somehow be changed.
However, the situation had already been adjusted through the Xenics Academy professors.
There was no way the trainees knew that it could not be redeemed.
“As mentioned in Chapter 1 of ‘Hunter’s Attitude’, which is learned as a liberal arts subject, hunters must cope well with the given environment under any circumstances. This means that you must be able to respond to unexpected situations! There is no particular need for Xenics Academy to be considerate of you. “If you feel wronged, be strong.”
“… .”
There was only silence in the classroom full of trainees due to Professor Park’s decisiveness.
The atmosphere in the classroom suddenly turned cold.
No one refuted Professor Park’s remarks.
Minjun gently rested his chin and looked at Professor Park.
‘Grade exam… . It’s definitely a grade test.’
He began to look back on the [Dad’s Palace] story one by one.
‘The first grade exam I remember.’
There was nothing wrong with Professor Park’s remarks.
In fact, as soon as the semester starts.
The next day, there would be a grade exam.
Kang Jun-pyo, Yoon Sol-ji, and Park Anna.
Everyone is bound to fail due to sudden grade exams.
Of course, Cha Min-jun, who was just an extra, wasn’t even mentioned.
Of course there is no way to know.
Anyway.
What you need to think about now.
Preparing for the ‘grade exam’ tomorrow!
Perhaps, what Minjun thinks is a ‘grade test’.
‘A competition between departments will unfold!’
Department competition.
Numerous departments exist at Xenics Academy.
This refers to a method of holding actual mock battles in a limited location with each department.
Because it was a competition with a long tradition that has continued since the founding of Xenics Academy.
It was true that it was a ‘exam’ that inevitably caused the highest level of tension among trainees.
***
next day.
The Zenics Academy main stadium was filled with trainees.
Trainees lined up side by side based on the department sign.
“If that’s the case, the swordsmanship department will come in first place again this year, right?”
“If you’ve been concerned all five years, shouldn’t you be willing to make some concessions this year?”
“It doesn’t matter whether the swordsmanship department ranks first or second. “If my department comes in last place again this year, I will truly destroy myself.”
“Don’t worry, the healer department is always available to us, right? “Giggle.”
“The healer department is not good in this kind of competition. But what can I do? To be honest, it’s just a competition in appearance. “This place is no different from safari.”
It was obvious that the trainees were very nervous ahead of the departmental competition.
On the contrary.
The swordsmanship department students were somehow full of confidence.
That’s right too.
Since the founding of Xenics Academy.
This is because the department that won the most in the department competition held every year was the ‘Swordsmanship Department’.
When it comes to swordsmanship education, ‘Xenix Academy’ is a place with a professional and systematic curriculum.
because that.
It was inevitable that the swordsmanship department’s students were of a higher standard than those in other departments.
“Isn’t our department going to be first anyway?”
“of course. I don’t know anything else, but we have Seo-ah, right? “There’s nothing to see!”
“I heard you even received special training at ‘Tpeter’ during this summer vacation?”
“That’s it? Most of this first-year elite class is from our department. “Are you sure you’ll be able to ride the bus properly for this competition?”
“Oh my, how about I get a bus sometime?”
The swordsmanship department trainees seemed more relaxed than the other department trainees.
Also, at the forefront was Lee Seo-ah.
She was proudly in the front row.
Even though I just stand still on the bare ground.
The appearance she gave off was enough to overwhelm the other trainees.
“… “I want to finish it quickly.”
Seoah Lee had no interest in this departmental competition.
Her only interest is Cha Min-jun.
All eyes were on him.
“I will definitely see the end today.”
Her mindset was strong.
While reminiscing about the memories I had at the last dormitory training ground.
I even looked back on the mistakes of that day.
At that time, President Kim Han-seok appeared on a high platform in the main stadium.
His beautifully grown beard.
It felt particularly majestic.
“The second semester has already begun. I wonder how everyone had a good summer vacation. Of course, I know that you will be embarrassed by the sudden postponement of the ‘Department Competition’ schedule. There is a reason for this. Risk.”
After clearing his throat, President Kim continued speaking.
“As everyone knows, the level of trainees who entered this year was truly amazing. I too have seen many things that exceeded my expectations. So I was curious. Indeed, what will the competition between departments be like?”
From President Kim’s perspective, expectations for this year’s freshmen seemed to have increased.
As a result, it seemed like they wanted to have freshmen compete against each other’s departments earlier than before to check their true capabilities once again.
“This year’s departmental competition was different from last year, and we reorganized the field. Because it is different from before, quick judgment and adaptability will be needed. “Then, we will reveal the field.”
As President Kim spread his arms wide, a unique field was unfolding across the main stadium.
