Chapter 181
next day.
It’s been a while since I went to Obelisk Academy.
I don’t know if it’s really been a few months since I’ve been walking down this road at this time.
Shortly after the start of the new semester, I was immediately exempted from classes to prepare for the Olympiad… … .
About 3-4 months?
‘Something has changed a lot.’
The landscaping is also very sophisticated, and the surrounding decorations are also somewhat flashy.
It seems that the roads, including the walking blocks, are completely new.
‘Could this be an inexpensive protective stone?’
I thumped the newly laid walking block with my front foot. I don’t feel any pain in my feet.
I kicked a little harder.
still no sensation
‘It’s an inexpensive protective stone.’
The identity of the walking block that fills the street corner is an improved magic stone for safety, a low-cost protection stone.
The effect is shock absorption.
Since the shock is absorbed, you will not get hurt even if you fall on the road with popular protective seats.
There is no pain, let alone wound.
‘Is this expensive thing spread all over?’
These are high-end equipment that are usually installed in places where students often get injured, such as test centers and training grounds.
You spread this all over the way to school.
I glanced around.
The same goes elsewhere.
I just plastered it with a cheap protective stone.
‘… … Did the outer walls of the gym be coated with magic stones?’
In addition to that, the clothes of the students who were doing club activities far away were mana fibers.
It’s not whole, but it’s at the level of mana and fiber mixed in between.
That alone makes the price jump beyond words.
‘Where the hell did the money come from, and how did they drastically change the equipment?’
It must have cost a lot of money that ordinary people can’t even imagine.
Where did the money come from?
‘ah. Could it be because of me?’
The gold medal & MVP of the Olympiad was won, and the government decided to subsidize the huge amount of support.
Maybe it’s something like this
I haven’t heard of it yet, but it seems very likely.
Otherwise, there is no reason for the equipment to be upgraded on such a large scale all of a sudden.
‘It’s good.’
At this pace, the training facilities within the academy must have become quite advanced.
Upgrading training equipment is something I have longed for.
It’s highly unlikely, but the latest simulation room from the Red Mage Tower could have been brought in.
‘That would be nice.’
I turned the happiness circuit thinking of the world’s best simulation training room I had seen in the United States.
As I moved my feet, thinking about all the state-of-the-art training facilities, I started to see other students before I knew it.
“uh? Hey, isn’t that Shin Ha-yul?”
Someone looked at me and whispered.
No, it’s a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of Her gestures and expressions were like whispers, but her voice alone was quite loud.
Was it because he was excited?
“Right. what. When did you come back?”
“I didn’t see the news that you had returned.”
The word soon spread everywhere.
“and! Shin Ha-yul is a senior! See you first.”
“So cool… … . oh my god? Shall we go and talk?”
“Will you accept my greeting?”
Before I knew it, the eyes of all the students on the way to school were focused on me.
At a glance, there are about 50 people looking only at me.
It took only 5 seconds for the eyes to gather like this.
Embarrassingly burdensome gazes are pierced from all sides.
At that time, I suddenly remembered my father’s words and Sunchan’s words.
Because my popularity in Korea is bigger than I thought. You will have to prepare your mind firmly.
It was said
So, I prepared myself mentally.
Roughly, I vaguely thought that it was enough to think about 1.5 times the interest in the past when I was called a supernova.
however… … .
‘I never thought it would be this much… … .’
It seems I was complacent.
1.5 times more interest compared to me a year and a half ago?
There’s no way.
“senior! it’s awesome!”

“I love you, senior!”
“Here, this uniform! Thanks to you, it’s a new supply! thank you.”
This level of interest now is nothing compared to a year and a half ago.
No, interest itself may be comparable.
However, the density of interest, meaning, and direction are completely different.
If the attention directed to me a year and a half ago was like watching a ‘rare animal’.
The degree of interest toward me now is like watching a ‘respectable hero’.
Even if they have the same interest, the meaning they have is very different.
I should have foreseen the difference.
“Ha Yul-ah. do you remember me We were in the same class in first grade.”
“Brother. You used your body well. Are you interested in martial arts?”
“Senior! Please take one picture for me!”
The crowd around me is growing exponentially.
No, I wonder how this compares people to insects.
It was a density reminiscent of bees rushing to real honey.
“No, that, sorry. Step back for a moment… … .”
No matter what I said, the waves of crowds didn’t even listen to me.
Someone makes me an offer, someone thanks me, and someone asks me to hold my hand.
It was just a total mess.
‘driving me crazy.’
what to do with this situation
Of course, it’s easy to use your body or use magic to escape.
But I didn’t want to.
No matter what, they are the people who gathered like me.
It shouldn’t be pushed out like that.
It can’t stay like this all the time.
‘… … ok.’
My head is pounding.
It’s my first time experiencing a situation like this, so I don’t know how to respond. My head is blank.
“Once everyone… … .”
Trying hard to calm down somehow.
“now. Everyone please go there.”
Someone jumped out in front of me.
“Uh huh. there. step back. Do not come closer than 1 meter.”
A cheerful smile and a friendly face.
My friend who can be called the incarnation of friendliness.
Ji Soon-chan.
“ruler. Like an evolutionary human being with the intellect and wisdom we deserve. Let’s stay calm. Even if you act so forcefully, you won’t get any answers. Isn’t that what everyone wants?”
Soonchan stood in front of me like a manager and started mediating the situation.
“you… … .”
While Soonchan calmed everyone down, he glanced at me and winked. It was a gesture asking me to leave this position to you.
“There is not much time until class starts. Let’s not get so excited, just coolly for 20 minutes. Let’s agree to set up a place with the feeling of a simple fan meeting.”
It was like a zookeeper appeasing angry beasts.
It’s so natural, I think I’d believe it even if I was the manager of a really decent top star.
“Oh, by the way, I don’t accept invitations to join clubs. About that, please recommend separately later. Right now, I will only take questions as much as I have time and seats. only 5… … no, it feels Let’s go with 10!”
“Ohhh!”
I bring out the keywords that the crowds around me would like the most, and induce the atmosphere.
At the same time, students with other goals are excluded.
With this, the seniors who want to propose something to me, or the students who want to approach me to get something, have no choice but to remain silent.
Because it was such an atmosphere.
It was indeed an effective move.
“ruler. once there cute junior. I’ve seen you before, you’re the most passionate. I’ll give you a chance to ask a question first. What do you want to say to our ace and MVP, the handsome and talented Shin Ha-yul?”
Like a fish in water, like an eagle flying through the sky.
Sunchan started to wander around this place on his own.
* * *
that afternoon.
after all classes
“… … It’s really exhausting.”
Returning to my room, I lay down on the bed as if I were collapsing.
“Good job. men and horses.”
Soon-chan appropriately pulled out a chair and placed it in front of the bed and sat down on my bed.
“Adela, you can sit there.”
Then, I called Adela, who was standing in a daze looking around at the old books that filled my room.
“yes.”
Adela sat down on the chair set by Soonchan.
“… … Why are you so fine?”
I looked at Sunchan with my face half turned.
As much as I worked almost like my manager today, it’s normal to be the most tired.
But what about Sunchan now?
He doesn’t look tired, on the contrary, he looks more energetic.
“Well, I’m used to it.”
“… … Are you used to it?”
“ok. I’m not as good as you or Adela, but I’ve gotten quite a bit of attention. So I kind of got used to it.”
“ah. So it was so natural.”
Now I can understand Soon-chan’s composure. If this happened often, she might just get used to it.
“… … Can I get used to this?”
Adela said with a complex and subtle look on the world.
The eyes that look at me are full of high-density empathy.
It was the eyes that fully understood my tired heart.
Then, he looked at Soon-chan with the expression of seeing a rare animal.
As much as Adela’s personality is her personality, this kind of excessive attention will only tire her out.
Soon-chan’s expression is that he can’t understand how he can enjoy the current situation so calmly.
“Just enjoy. It’s good. Get attention.”
“… … Who is not interested?”
I’ve been wanting to have some kind of gwanjongki since before, but it seems that this time I’ve spread my wings.
“Original man. Everyone is born as a servant that everyone is supposed to be born with.”
“… … f*ck no.”
It’s nice to know how much interest you have.
If it’s this extreme, it’s joy and nabal.
All that remains is tiredness.
“But, well, it will calm down in about three days. Adela took just that much.”
“… … Will it be like this tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?”
“maybe? Your popularity is not comparable to Adela’s, let alone me… … . If it’s long, it could go up to a week.”
“… … ah. Really obama.”
Not to mention during breaks.
Students in the same class even during class, or students in classes that have shared classes.
Even the instructors.
He approaches me with more than necessary attention.
This is really very stressful.
“Kuk-kuk. Earlier, when I got a perfect score in training, it was a bit boring to burst into cheers. I thought I won a World Cup or something.”
“Ah, even our class heard that. That was the reason why the cheers erupted.”
“… … Really obama.”
I never really imagined it would be like this.
“Be patient, superstar. That is the weight of the throne.”
“… … .”
There’s not even a laugh.
If this is long, you have to go through it all week.
‘… … No.’
A week is purely Sunchan’s prediction.
In any event, this interest may continue uninterrupted.
No, it’s not really self-inflicted. My popularity is at that level now.
I could die from too much attention.
“… … Graduation should come a little earlier.”
There were still some things I had to prepare, so I was planning on completing all the courses for the second year and graduating with a one-year skip.
In this situation, it would be better to advance graduation a little more.
“what?”
“Are you skipping class?”
Two people stared into my eyes. Soonchan has a shocked expression on his face, and Adela is expressionless as usual.
“Oh, didn’t I tell you? uh. I’m going to skip the grade.”
“… … why?”
“Why? just. conditions would also be I am confident that I will pass the skipping exam. You want to graduate quickly.”
A gold medal and an MVP award are sufficient conditions for skipping classes.
No, it’s not enough, so it stays.
No matter what exam it is, I have the confidence to pass it.
Maybe it’s a special situation, so if I want, it’s possible to graduate after only one semester.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Two people look at me with mysterious expressions.
Something seems complicated.
“Why are you looking at me like that? I thought you were roughly guessing.”
“no. Well, I thought it might be… … .”
Sunchan smiled bitterly.
“but. If you think about it, it doesn’t make sense… … . There are really few things you can learn at this academy.”
“right. Because the magic chest itself is different from ordinary wizards before reaching the realm.”
The magic system is different.
Therefore, there is no reason for me to complete the academy’s classes.
To me now, taking classes is just a waste of time.
“okay. Well, if that’s your choice then there’s nothing you can do about it. I’m sorry but… … .”
Sunchan’s smile grew even more bitter.
“What are you so sorry for, man? Anyone who sees it will know that I am going to study abroad. i’m not going anywhere I will be in Seoul.”
“right.”
Soonchan smiled.
“Adela, are you not going to skip a class? Of course I thought you would too.”
Adela is already far beyond the student level.
It is better for Adela now to receive more specialized magic education than to take classes at the academy.
Even more so now that he has absorbed ‘God’s Grace’.
“I want to. Skip class.”
“You’re doing it too.”
“what. Adela do you too? Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”
Soonchan glared at Adela with an expression like a betrayed warrior.
“I didn’t tell you because I haven’t made up my mind yet. I decided to skip the class just a while ago.”
“… … Did you just decide?”
“yes.”
Adela turned her gaze to me.
“I was thinking of skipping a class if you choose to skip a class. It was decided that way from the beginning.”
“You meant to do as I chose?”
“yes.”
“… … why?”
A frown flowed from Adela’s eyes.
“I thought that if I could learn magic from you, I wouldn’t have to skip a grade. Learning from you will be more beneficial than learning from any wizard in the world.”
“That seems like too much of an overstatement.”
“It may be overrated. But at least I think so.”
Adela’s eyes shone brightly. She had beautiful eyes that shone with unwavering trust.
“Oops. So am I the only one left? Evande… … . All seniors will graduate.”
Sunchan laughed ‘heh heh’.
It’s an expression of sadness about something.
“under. done. it’s okay. Both of you just graduate a year early and become legends.”
It was a look that showed the feeling of being lonely.
“Then our golden trio should be half a year at the most. It sucks.”
No, should I say a sad expression?
Anyway, it was a very strange expression.
“You can do it with Sunchan too.”
“… … do it together what?”
“It’s a skipped class.”
“… … uh?”
Adela said with a calm expression.
“As long as I won the gold medal, there is no problem in applying for the skipped exam. If you skip a class together… … Isn’t that what it is? Then the relationship between the three of us isn’t broken, it’s expanded, extended.”
Sunchan’s eyes widened.
“Right. Was there a way?”
I didn’t know that. It was a clear expression.
“No, but. Will I be able to pass the heinously difficult skipping exam?”
“You’ll know when you do that.”
“It should be.”
“and… … .”
Adela turned her gaze to me.
Soon-chan’s gaze also turned to me.
“here. There is an Ilta instructor. You will do something.”
“oh. That’s right. I believe. My best friend Ha Yul was there. I believe. Ha-men.”
Sunchan put his palms together and bowed his head.
It looked like he was praying.
“… … no. Are you really skipping a class?”
“uh. Both of you are graduating. After seniors graduate. What would you do if you were alone?”
Sunchan’s eyes shone with determination.
“and… … I don’t know if it will work or not, but there’s nothing wrong with taking the test, right?”
“right. It will be of great help to your filmography.”
“Exactly.”
It’s word for word.
If you pass, you don’t have to take the 3rd year course by itself.
Skipping a class is the same as accumulating a spec as a wizard.
“The training must be very difficult.”
“Heng. do you have to die I’ll take care of it enough for you to survive. I will 100% follow your schedule.”
“You promised?”
“… … uh? uh.”
“good. friend. If your resolution is that much, then I should give it to you after I walk on my arms as a friend again.”
The corners of my mouth grimaced at the angle that best revealed the wickedness.
“… … .”
Soon-chan’s expression darkened. It seems that he now realizes that something is wrong.
“Let’s do our best together starting tomorrow.”
“… … It was cooked.”
Sunchan’s face was stained with despair.
