Episode 218 Joint class (2)
The highlight of the Transcendental Studies Center curriculum was by far the joint classes.
No, to be precise, joint classes are what Transcendental Studies is all about.
Although it was divided into a control class and a technology class, all the knowledge learned there was only the basis for this joint class.
1 person on the control team and 1 person on the technical team.
One transcendental machine provided to members of a group of two.
Students in the control group acquire practical skills through the provided transcendental equipment.
Technology class students improve and maintain transcendental equipment for their partners.
It is a very simple yet sure way to build your skills.
It was also an easy way to evaluate students.
Therefore, most of the academic classes and mid-term and final evaluations are also conducted in groups… Shiba chatted enthusiastically as they headed to the joint class.
Thanks to this, Lois was able to know exactly what joint classes were.
Even after explaining the main point, Shiva still moved his mouth without stopping.
“Perhaps because today is the first day, we will announce the groups and provide a transcendental period for each group.”
Shiva’s eyes sparkled brightly, as if he was excited to see the Transcendence Period.
Although the person listening to the story was interested in something else.
“How do you make millet?”
“From what I heard, it’s called random selection.”
“Random? Is that okay? “Aren’t they usually grouped by grade?”
“They say it used to be like that. It is said that students with the highest entrance grades in each class were put into one group together with students with the lowest grades… “I heard there was a lot of noise, so they changed it to this method.”
“It’s noise… … .”
Perhaps that noise usually comes from top performers.
‘If you’re tied up with a low-ranking scorer, the top-ranking scorer has no choice but to shoulder the burden.’
Obviously, the evaluation will be done as an individual evaluation, but that does not mean that there will be no group evaluation.
If that were the case, there wouldn’t have been any need to group students into groups.
If that happens, the top performers will have to grit their teeth and ‘hard carry’ for the group evaluation, while the bottom performers will have to take the so-called ‘bus’.
‘A group of mid-ranking performers may receive better grades.’
Obviously, since such a situation arose and complaints from students poured in, the school administration is probably conducting random selection.
If a top scorer and a bottom scorer end up in a group, you can just blame your bad luck.
If the top performers form a group, that would be the best situation.
“I guess luck is also a skill… … .”
“Haha, I guess that’s what it is.”
Shiva agreed with Lois’ muttering.
As they walked like that, the two were able to arrive at the joint class lecture hall.
No, it was too large to be called a lecture hall.
Three huge single-story buildings located on a site of several thousand pyeong.
In front of one of the buildings, the lower-level students of the technology class and the control class were already divided into black and white.
Lois glanced at the twins and flame siblings waving at her, and then quietly blended into the group of white uniforms.
How much time has passed like that?
A middle-aged man with a cold expression walked over and stood in front of the students.
“Attention everyone.”
A sound filled with mana caught attention.
‘The author… … .’
A cold expression, a dark scar across his cheek.
And his skills reached intermediate level 2.
There was someone who matched the information given by Shiva.
‘Meister Agus.’
Despite his middle-aged face, Agus is already in his 60s.
When he was young, he was a mercenary wandering around conflict zones and a transcendental pilot with outstanding skills.
Also, a person who relatively recently entered the Tower of Desire and became a meister.
Then, this time, he became a professor at the Transcendental Studies Center’s control group.
As Lois was looking at him closely, Agus, who had caught the attention of the crowd, turned his back.
“Follow me.”
200 students followed behind him who took the lead.
A moment later, Agus, standing in front of a huge building, easily pushed the huge door left and right.
The students were mesmerized by the interior of the building that was revealed along with it.
“oh my god!”
“Is that all transcendence?”
The interior of the building was divided into a total of 100 areas with partitions, and each area contained a 10m-sized transcendental flag.
Shiva, who saw this, muttered as if possessed.
“… Even if you search all over the world, Tower of Desire is probably the only place that provides this level of transcendence for the education of students.”
If it is 10m level, it is a level 4 transcendental device.
It is a standard type of transcendence machine that is not equipped with external armor or weapons.
Nevertheless, it was surprising that so many transcendental periods were prepared simply for educational purposes.
Even the transcendental skills prepared here were only for lower level classes.
In other words, 100 transcendental machines each were provided to the intermediate and advanced classes.
The students once again realized that it was not for nothing that they were told to go to the Transcendental Studies Center if they wanted to learn about the Transcendental Period.
While the students were distracted by the transcendental period, Meister Agus spoke.

“The expressions on everyone’s faces are amazing.”
Only then did the students’ eyes turn forward again.
Agus was there with a smile on his face.
“That’s a nice look. I was like that too. When I first entered the Transcendental Learning Center and encountered the Transcendental Period here. “My expression back then probably wasn’t any different from yours now.”
The students were once again surprised to learn that Meister Agus was from the Transcendental Academy.
“And after spending three years here, I realized. Transcendental period… “It is the greatest invention that civilization has ever created.”
The emotions that appeared on Agus’ face were diverse.
Joy, joy, excitement.
and… love.
Looking at this, Lois stuck her tongue out.
‘What is that pervert?’
Agus’s nickname given to him by Shiva.
That was a ‘transcendental sexual person.’
A man who loves Chochungi so much that he spends his entire life trapped in steel.
That was Agus.
He looked at the control group students and spoke loudly.
“The transcendental students here until graduation are your new bodies! If there is a guy who tries to use his body carelessly, I will throw him with a javelin for transcendence! Do you understand?”
“All right!”
At the same time as the control panel’s loud reply, Agus’ gaze turned towards the technical team.
“Transcendence will be your patient and lover from now on! Pay close attention to even the smallest details! The moment you rush in with quack-like skills, you become a murderer! Study and study again!”
“yes!”
“good night. Now, I will announce the group that will be with us for the next three years. “Those who are called must quickly move to their respective transcendental periods.”
As soon as those words were finished, excitement spread throughout the hall.
It is at this point that the person with whom we will share our hardships and sorrows for the next three years is decided.
It would be even weirder if the students didn’t pay attention.
“Jason from the 1st flight control team, Saturn from the technical team. No. 2 control panel, Nawil, technical team… … .”
Agus quickly called out the name, and the group of people moved to the transcendental machine with their respective numbers engraved on it.
In such a short time, we became part of the 30th division.
For the first time, a name Lois recognized appeared.
“No. 30 control team Carney, technical team Vin.”
Other students were nervous about the combination of the valedictorian, runner-up, and top scorer that came out for the first time.
Bürn’s face was filled with extreme joy, while Carney’s snout was bulging.
And at number 33, Royce was called.
“Sierra from the 33rd control panel, Royce from the technical team.”
Tania and Kani, who were secretly hoping to become partners with Lois, looked extremely disappointed.
Of course, Lois tried to move to number 33 without much notice.
If only the woman named Sierra, who was paired with Lois at that time, had not raised her hand.
“I have an objection.”
The unexpected objection drew the attention of Agus and other students towards her.
“dental?”
Despite Agus’ sharp eyes, Sierra responded without hesitation.
“I cannot accept my group arrangement. “I would like you to change it.”
As soon as he finished saying those words, Carney came running towards me.
“Hey, me! Please change it to me!”
At her reaction, Vin’s expression hardened frighteningly.
Meanwhile, even Tania, whose group composition had not yet been announced, raised her hand.
“Me! Please change it to me!”
And Khan’s hand slowly rises.
“… Then, I will also run for office.”
“You’re out!”
“Oppa Khan is out!”
Khan lowered his hand with a stinging face in response to the two women’s attacks.
At that time, Agus raised his hand to quiet the commotion and glared at Sierra and asked.
“So you don’t like your partner? “Are you saying that because you know that that kid is the head of the technology class?”
“Yes, I know.”
“The reason is?”
“… … .”
“Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Sierra, who hesitated as if slightly embarrassed, looked at Lois and said.
“I don’t want to be in the same group as that kind of libertine.”
As soon as the words were finished, positive whispers spread.
Of course, the majority of them were men.
Meanwhile, Agus was sighing.
“That doesn’t sound like a horse. Even if it is a valid reason, I don’t know if I should change it or not, but I can never change the team for that kind of reason. We will not accept any objections. “Go to your assigned seat.”
Then Agus continues calling his name again.
As the slightly inflated hopes disappeared, Carney and Tania’s faces became gloomy again.
Meanwhile, Lois, who came to the front of unit 33, looked at Sierra.
The blonde hair is so light that it makes you think it may have been bleached.
And dark green eyes that look powerful.
Although she was overshadowed by Kanina and Tania, she was quite a striking beauty.
Lois arrived in front of Flight 33 and called out to her who didn’t even look at her once.
“hey.”
Sierra slightly turned her head in Lois’ direction.
Lois asked her in a low voice.
“When have we ever met?”
“No, there is none.”
“right? “I have a good memory, so I rarely forget things, but no matter how much I think about it, I’ve never met a kid like you.”
“… … .”
“But when will you start calling me a libertine just because you saw me?”
Even with Lois’ growling voice, Sierra did not show much agitation.
Instead, he answered in a very calm tone.
“I am sorry. “I couldn’t think of any other excuse other than that.”
With those words, Sierra turned her head again.
Lois looked dumbfounded for a moment, then crossed her arms and glared at Sierra.
‘What on earth is this bitch doing?’
Out of nowhere, he calls me a libertine and asks me to change groups.
And even the cold attitude toward them.
This was the type of person Lois had never experienced before.
‘Of course, not everyone in the world will like me.’
Nevertheless, Sierra’s strange attitude annoyed Lois.
‘I was definitely sincere when I said I was sorry.’
It wasn’t a formal apology simply to draw a line or end a conversation.
Her apology was sincere.
‘Whenever you say no, you just say you’re sorry… … .’
And the word ‘excuse’ that Sierra said.
Lois, who quietly pondered that fact, came to one conclusion.
‘From what you’re saying, it sounds like you have a personal reason why you shouldn’t be in the same group as me?’
The problem was that, no matter how much I thought about it, there was no connection between Sierra and myself.
‘When on earth did you see me? We haven’t even spoken to each other before, and this is the first time we’ve seen each other’s faces?’
Lois’ eyes sparkled at the sight of Sierra never looking in her direction.
The dragon’s senses were strongly signaling.
‘This guy… ‘There is something!’
* * *
Group formation for the joint class was completed quickly.
Carney is teamed up with Unit 30, Vin.
Unit 33 Lois and Sierra.
Unit 56 Tania and Liam.
63rd Khan and Olivia.
89th Kendrick and Evelyn.
98th Shiva and Oliver.
Except for Shiva, Royce’s group was strangely made up of men and women.
The first day of joint classes ended with a brief group formation.
The remaining time is free time.
It was a time to become closer to those in the same group and to examine the assigned transcendence period.
Of course, Lois and Sierra didn’t say a word until the end of class.
So that night.
“Miss Sierra?”
In response to Lois’ question, Shiva, who was lying on the bed, slightly raised his head.
“Uh, do you know anything about him?”
“hmm… well. I don’t know anything in particular. “Your entrance score is 7th overall in the pilot class?”
“7th place?”
“Ah, if you exclude the people who are senior, I’m actually in fourth place.”
The twins and flame siblings became joint top students by breaking the iron plate during the entrance exam.
This is the first time since the creation of the Transcendental Studies Center that four people have become co-heads.
“Well, if we take 4th place excluding those guys… It’s a decent skill, though. “Anything else than that?”
“well… Miss Sierra is said to have a quiet personality even within the control panel. They say she doesn’t really stand out and attends classes diligently. “There is nothing particularly unusual.”
“Hmm, really? Oh right! Hey, what are the rumors about me around the academy?”
“… … !”
Shiva trembled and slightly turned his head at Royce’s surprise question.
Lois said with a smile at the reaction as if there was something there.
“say it. “What kind of rumor has spread that he’s calling me a libertine and all that?”
For some reason, Shiba felt that Lois’ laughter did not seem like laughter.
“that… “Are you not going to hit me?”
“Why am I hitting you?”
“You really don’t hit me, do you?”
“… “Would you like to tell me if it’s true?”
“uh… that… “That’s exactly how the rumor spread.”
“what? “A libertine?”
“yes… Like a libertine or a playboy? An unlucky guy or something… Lois is taking advantage of Carney and Tania’s weaknesses… … .”
“ha… … .”
Lois sighed.
Kanye and Tania.
Skill is skill, beauty is beauty.
Because of their lively personalities, they were like idols to the male students in the school.
But the problem was that those idols would come running and cling to Royce whenever they had the chance.
Therefore, a truly spectacular scene unfolded in front of the technology class 1 classroom during break time.
The twins and flame siblings found Lois.
And the people who gathered to watch them.
I thought it would calm down a bit as time passed, but nothing changed.
No, the situation has become more serious recently.
‘It looks like intermediate and advanced classes also come and have a look.’
As this happened, the reputation of Tania and Kani grew, and Royce became an object of envy and jealousy among male students.
As a result, rumors about Lois spread in a negative way.
And surprisingly, it was the female students who denied the rumors about Lois.
‘Where do you see that face? It’s the face that will catch a woman’s weakness?!’
‘If my boyfriend had that face… I’ll just take my weaknesses and offer them up! I love you, Lois!’
‘Anyway, the problem lies with the technical class’s secretaries. If you are blinded by jealousy… … .’
‘Honestly, I like Khan more than Lois… … .’
‘Isn’t Kendrick okay too?’
In this way, Royce and the others, knowingly or unknowingly, became celebrities in the academy.
After hearing Shiva’s explanation, Lois sighed and stood up.
“ha… … .”
“Where are you going?”
“I’m feeling a bit refreshed, so I’m going to take a walk at night.”
“Again?!”
“Be quite. “If you get caught, you are the culprit.”
“Hey, Lois!”
Despite Shiva’s dissuasion, Lois immediately opened the window and threw herself out.
“… … .”
Shiba sighed softly as he looked at the open window.
It’s been like this the past few days.
Royce always leaves the dormitory late at night to go for a walk.
But the problem is… … .
“… “What are you going to do if you get caught like this?”
The thing was that he always went out for a walk during the dormitory’s curfew.
“ha… … .”
Sighing slightly, Shiva stuffed his clothes under Lois’ blanket.
He made it look like Lois was sleeping, then quickly turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.
“please… I hope you get through this night safely… … .”
Shiva prayed earnestly that there would be no surprise inspections from the dormitory director.
* * *
Meanwhile, Lois escapes from the dormitory.
Climbing high into the air, he took out the communication seat and connected it.
“it’s me.”
At the brief call, Finn’s voice was heard from beyond the communication table.
[Lois!]
“how was it?”
[Today was no different. After finishing the lecture, I was stuck in the lab and couldn’t come out often. I rarely go out except for meals or when I go to the library.]
“hmm… … .”
Lois rubbed her chin at Finn’s report.
‘What on earth are you doing?’
At the Transcendental Learning Center, William was in charge of an advanced class.
Since he had no contact with William, he had no choice but to rely entirely on Finn for his movements.
And Finn’s report, who had been following William for the past few days, was the same.
William looked like he was going to do something at any moment, but he wasn’t actually taking any action.
‘It’s strangely quiet… … .’
Lois, who was rubbing her chin, asked a question again.
“Is there any suspicious entity approaching him? “Even if they are not necessarily human, they are like animals.”
[From what I can see, it hasn’t happened yet. I’m coaxing a few rats living in the academy here to check on them… I don’t think they discovered anything in particular.]
“But just in case, watch closely.”
[yes!]
Lois’s worries deepened.
‘Shall we try another way?’
Something William is aiming for.
There was one more way besides finding it first.
If William found it, he would steal it.
Then there was no need to go through this trouble.
but… … .
‘Of course, it’s best to find the best one if I find it first.’
You shouldn’t just find things.
In order to turn the situation to our advantage, there was a need to find ‘the thing’ before William.
“Tell me in detail what William did today.”
[yes! So… … . I woke up at 5 in the morning… … .]
At Lois’ request, Finn recited William’s day in detail.
Lois, who had been just listening to the story, suddenly intervened.
“wait for a sec… “William said he went to the library.”
[yes! I went to return the book I borrowed.]
“hmm… … .”
There was nothing particularly strange about it.
The Transcendental Science Museum’s library has a large collection of books, and even if you are a Meister, you can borrow books.
The only catch is that William has been stopping by the library repeatedly over the past few days.
Even that wasn’t because I had a teaching assistant, but because I had to borrow books myself.
“Where William borrowed the book, was it on the left or on the right?”
[Right!]
“right? “Continuing until now?”
[yes! I just kept going in and out of the building on the right without missing it even once!]
The library of the Transcendental Academic Hall was divided into a place where technical books were stored and a place where general books were kept.
Among them, the building on the right has a reading room where students can study and a general book storage area.
‘A man who is as good as a meister… You went directly to the general book depository? And that too periodically?’
A strong feeling came.
There’s a clue there.
As soon as she realized this, Royce’s new model disappeared.
He reappeared on the roof of the general book library.
Lois’ legs disappeared under the roof as if submerged in a swamp.
widely-.
It’s late.
Lois casually walked through the dark library.
The place he heads to is where the librarian usually sits.
‘No matter how much he was a meister, he would have written a rental log.’
Piercing the darkness, Lois looked at the rental log neatly placed on the librarian’s desk.
Sarak- Sarak-.
I only turned a few pages, but William’s name appeared.
And so is the title of the book he borrowed.
I didn’t expect Lois’ eyes to fall from the title of the book.
[Life habits of sub-race]
‘Why on earth is this…? … ?’
Lois looked at William’s other rentals.
Sarak- Sarak-.
A rental log that moves quickly.
How much time has passed like that?
‘This?!’
The moment when Lee Chae appeared in Lois’ eyes.
“Who is there!”
A bright light illuminated the library.
But when the light reached the librarian’s desk, Lois was not there.
Soon the library security arrived.
“uh… … ?”
However, the only thing that welcomes him is a rental diary fluttering around in the wind left behind when Lois disappeared.
Sararak-.
A rental log that goes alone in a place where no one is around.
“omg?!”
The guard’s face turned pale when he saw this.
fantasy,
