Became a childhood friend of the mid-boss (81)
Post-entrance exam conversation
It wasn’t difficult to find Lee Ga-hyeon.
This is because she was driven to the brink of death and was unable to control the mana that was leaking, and was emitting a demonic energy.
Above all, there were only two people, including her, that were detected near the gate.
Thanks to this, I was able to save myself the trouble of checking each item through the status window.

As soon as I confirmed her identity, I opened my swordsmanship without hesitation.
Lee Ga-hyeon, whose soul was transferred to the body of the rank 1 monster Pika Tail, did not escape death this time.
As the sword fell to the ground, the body was torn apart and disappeared, and the soul stone was vomited out.
Her final moments were ugly and dishonorable.
‘To begin with, there would be no honorable death for Mine… .’
In some ways, it doesn’t seem like a bad death for a villain.
Of course, the Lee Ga-hyeon I killed was nothing more than an alter ego.
As long as the main body exists, her death is not the end.
When I have to fight with her real body in the near future, I won’t die in vain like this.
It will be very intense.
I decided not to get overconfident just because I defeated her clone.
I picked up the soul stone that had fallen in the grass.
“Is this a soul stone?”
Smaller than the index finger.
The soul stone, which had the shape of a sphere as if it had been crafted, had a brilliant light.
It looked like a rainbow was embedded in the translucent blue crystal.
[Lee Ga-hyeon’s Incomplete Soul Stone]
It is a soul stone containing a part of the soul of Demon Lee Ga-hyeon. Soulstones are valuable as materials for making equipment, but in their incomplete state, you probably can’t expect much from them.
It is Lee Ga-hyun’s soul stone.
After checking the status window one more time, I was finally able to feel at ease.
In any case, the goal of killing her alter ego, weakening the main body’s abilities, and lowering the difficulty of future stories was achieved.
Soon, I focused my gaze on one place.
‘The timing was really good. ‘I didn’t know he was here.’
Of the first two signs I detected, there was only one other than Lee Ga-hyeon.
A female test taker with green eyes like jewels was standing with her back to the gate.
She was the main character in the game.
‘We only saw each other from afar during the second test. Is this the first time we’ve seen each other face to face?’
One of the main character Kang Han-byeol’s party members.
A direct descendant of a family that is one of the leading spirits masters and one of the ten families.
Cha Eun-sol, the lazy genius of Circular Chaga.
I spoke to the woman who helped catch Lee Ga-hyeon.
“Thank you for your help. “Thanks to you, I was able to easily catch the runaway Mine.”
“… .”
Cha Eunsol stared at me without saying a word.
Her eyes were shining brightly, and there were translucent animals gathered around her.
Green eagle, red rat, yellow fox, green deer, etc… .
There were many different types of animals.
They were spirits lending their power to her.
They were showing their guard as if they would attack me at any time if she gave them an order.
‘It was mentioned that there were many spirits surrounding Cha Eunsol, but seeing it like this is really amazing.’
The abilities of a spiritist depend on how many and powerful spirits they have.
We cannot leave out how much we are loved by them, how much we can relate to them, and how well we can minister to them.
In that respect, Cha Eun-sol’s capabilities could be said to be so outrageous that even I, who did not know much about spirit magic, could understand it.
In a different sense from Nam Yu-ri, she was a monster who went beyond the realm of humans to the extent that people questioned whether she was actually a human.
‘And if that monster goes wild, it could destroy the world.’
The game also had an ending related to Cha Eun-sol.
Of course it was a bad ending.
Of course, they are the type that will perish.
I recalled the ending in my head and decided to take this time to have a shout-out.
“I’m Dogyeonwoo. “If I say that I am a person of the Divine Sword Taoist School, then you will understand, right?”
“… .”
Cha Eunsol still didn’t say anything.
She looked at me quietly.
It was impossible to read the emotions on his face, with his mouth tightly shut and his eyes shining.
It just felt like a threat.
But knowing her personality, I wasn’t nervous.
“Would you mind telling me your name?”
“… .”
As can be seen from the nickname ‘lazy genius’, Cha Eun-sol was talented, but did not like to show off, and was very lazy by nature.
As a result, I found everything annoying, hated moving my body, and preferred to spend time leisurely, eating and sleeping.

She didn’t necessarily show hostility unless she was touched.
He wasn’t really a dangerous person.
just as expected.
“My name is Cha Eunsol.”
Lee Ga-hyeon is probably dead and gone now.
Cha Eun-sol calmed the spirits while also extinguishing her own shining eyes.
Then he turned away from me.
“I’m sleepy. “I’m going to go to sleep.”
As if she didn’t care about me anymore, Cha Eunsol flew up into the sky.
She flew at high speed and disappeared into the distance before I knew it.
“… “It’s like Cha Eunsol.”
There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, such as what happened in the forest and why Mine was here.
She chose to leave without expressing any questions.
This may be because I didn’t want to get caught up in something that could easily become a nuisance.
So he left without asking me or questioning me.
On the other hand, there may have been a reason for his behavior that gave priority to his feelings of sleepiness.
I smiled bitterly as I looked at the dawning sky.
‘I see you’re coming now.’
At that time, I felt signs approaching where I was.
There was a high probability that it was a sign of the evaluators.
There was no way the evaluators who would have been watching the test through the gate eye would not have noticed the situation.
Perhaps they had just arrived to clean up the chaos in the forest.
After a while.
“Sorry for being late, test taker! “Are you hurt anywhere?”
“The doll ghost is nowhere to be seen. Where has she run away now!?”
As expected, the evaluators showed up.
They asked in an urgent tone, their bodies covered in the monster’s blue blood and their hair matted from running.
I answered calmly.
“He’s already dead.”
“… yes?”
“I killed him, so he doesn’t exist anymore.”
“No, what… . Is that really true? “Have you even found the soul stone?”
The evaluators, especially the person who appeared to be the supervisor overseeing this test, were embarrassed.
He looked like he couldn’t believe that I had defeated Lee Ga-hyeon.
In response, I showed the soul stone in my hand to prove my subjugation.
“If it’s a soul stone, it’s here. “Okay?”
“… .”
A soul stone sparkling with rainbow colors.
The evaluators who checked the soul stone in my palm were all speechless.
Then the supervisor, who had come to his senses, stammered and spoke.
“Well, I guess I still need to check if it’s really the doll demon girl’s soul stone. Test taker, can you hand over the soul stone to us for verification?”
Unlike me, who could check the item’s information, other people were able to check it through emotions.
Therefore, the supervisor’s idea of checking it carefully to avoid being deceived by Lee Ga-hyeon and confusing it with another demon’s soul stone was desirable.
However, I had no intention of following along.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think that will work. “First of all, this is the loot I got.”
“We’re not saying we’ll take it, but we’ll check it for a moment and return it…” .”
“I know, it’s worth a lot of money, and you never know if there will be another clone of the doll ghost. “I’m anxious.”
“… .”
“So, I would like to leave the soul stone to another instructor. Is that okay?”
“Another instructor… . “Who are you talking about?”
“The seven-colored witch.”
“… Do you mean Instructor Hong Yena?”
“Yes, you are not in charge of the evaluator, but aren’t you here to observe the test? “I’ll leave it to him.”
How would I know if any of the evaluators here might be a demonic liaison and entrust the soul stone to them?
In this case, it is better to leave it to someone you can trust.
In that sense, Hong Ye-na, the Witch of Seven Colors, was a suitable candidate.
* * *
I will leave the soul stone to Hong Yena.
The evaluators could not break my will.
In the end, I had to find her and bring her back as she tried to evacuate the test takers.
She looked tired, perhaps because she had been moving around so frantically during the night.
“Do you really have to pamper me like this to let go of your instincts? “You can just ask other instructors to do this, not me.”
“There is a witch, so why would I leave it to someone I don’t know? “Please.”
“Whew. “I don’t feel good at all about receiving credit from you.”
Even though he was complaining on the outside.
Yena Hong could not resist my request and accepted the soul stone.
She flipped her short auburn hair, glared at me once, and then disappeared beyond the gate.
‘Is this the end of it?’
There is no need to worry as Hong Yena has the soul stone.
The problem was how things would progress after the soul stone appraisal was over.
‘I think Chairman So Hye-yul will probably take care of things somehow… .’
Although it was reasonable considering So Hye-yul’s personality, it could not be completely determined.
From now on, I had to patiently wait to see how she would react.
Meanwhile, there was some time left before the exam ended.
It’s not over yet.
The evaluators ran through the forest and screamed to announce the fact.
“Now that the confusion has been resolved, we will continue with the test! Students are requested to check the information sent to the gate watch. And examinee number 1532.”
“yes.”
“The examinees who fought alongside you are probably listening to the story by now, but I hope they don’t reveal the story of defeating the doll demon girl. The same applies after the exam is over. This is not only to prevent anxiety among the test takers and the world, but also because test takers may become targets of the Mine Society, so do not say anything. “Do you understand what I mean?”
“… “Yes, I will keep it a secret.”
The supervisor who was there at that time gave me advice.
I nodded without saying anything.
It was something I also wanted.
As the game’s story progresses, I will become involved with the Mine Society at some point, but I didn’t want that to happen at the moment.
‘Even so, I can’t hide the fact that I killed Lee Ga-hyeon forever.’
Can not help it.
It is inevitable that it will become known to the world, whether late or early.
At that time, Lee Ga-hyeon will become aware of my existence.
So, I hoped it would be as late as possible, and I had to build up my strength to compete with her main body.
First of all, I have to take the exam.
Just then, a message related to the exam arrived at the gate watch.
[Please continue with the test.]
[End time is 9:00 AM.]
[There are no changes to where the gate is set.]
[Current time remaining until exam ends]
[03:34:27]
After reading the message, I was lost in thought.
‘What should I do?’ .’
In fact, it was as if I had already passed the exam.
I easily got over 200 points just by using the test admission ticket I wore on my clothes.
Go Eun-bi had the exam slips that were stored away while fighting with Lee Ga-hyeon, but the number she currently had was enough.
Grades will be guaranteed to some extent.
There was no need to take away test-takers’ admission tickets.
‘I don’t have the strength to do that… .’
It consumed quite a bit of stamina and mana.
I couldn’t sleep properly and was exhausted from fighting.
Given my physical condition, I thought it would be better to rest in a private place until the test was over.
It was then.
“ah! found! Gyeonwoo!”
“huh? ah… . “You guys are here.”
“I’m glad it ended well.”
“Dogyeonwoo! I heard the story! “You said you took it down in the end!?”
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
Go Eun-bi, Yeon Ha-neul, Yong Yong-rang, and Lisa, who helped take down Lee Ga-hyeon, walked out of the forest.
They looked happy when they saw me.
I was happy to see them too.
But Min A-rin and Nam Yu-ri were nowhere to be seen.
“What about Nam Yuri and Min Arin? “Didn’t you come with me?”
“Min Ah-rin said she was going to spend the remaining time collecting exam tickets and said goodbye. A girl named Nam Yu-ri… ‘The cowherd is no longer here, and the situation seems to have been resolved, so I’ll just leave! Hello, kids!’ “I left.” Go Eun-bi explained her situation.
It was witty to imitate Nam Yu-ri’s speaking style.
Soon she handed me the luggage she was holding in her hands.
“And I brought all the exam tickets! Now, here are the things you collected, Gyeonwoo.”
“Oh, you kept it well. “I was regretting not being able to take care of this even though I didn’t have to, so thank you.”
“what! Thanks to that, I also gained a lot!”
I received the luggage that Go Eunbi gave me.
In my luggage were the test scores that I had collected over the years.
With this, I felt like I didn’t have to worry about the exam anymore.
At that time, Yeon Ha-neul asked.
“I really collected a lot… . so? “What are you going to do from now on?”
Yeon Ha-neul looks into the luggage and admires it.
When she asked the question, other people looked at me.
‘Why do I have to decide?’
Everyone looked as if they would follow my opinion.
No wonder Yong Yong-rang also said, “Hmm, I feel like I want to have a fight with you right away, but since we are not in the best condition, I have no choice but to postpone it until later.” He even said.
It felt strange to be looking at them like that, but it wasn’t bad.
I opened my mouth.
“It looks like everyone has collected the necessary exam tickets, and they must be exhausted from all the fighting, so let’s take a rest somewhere.”
“agree! “I agree!”
“I think that would be good too.”
“If you say so, I can’t help it.”
“I also agree.”
The four people readily agreed.
Although they didn’t seem to show it until now, they seemed to be tired on the inside.
Well, I had no choice but to be tired because I had been fighting hard all night.
We have the right number of people, and everyone is highly skilled.
We settled down in an inconspicuous place and decided to rest while taking turns standing guard.
“uh? “Isn’t that Gyeonwoo?”
“hey! Do you know how hard we had to go through finding our admission tickets because of you!?”
“Do you know how sad it was to have to look for an exam ticket in the middle of the night!?”
“Oh, it’s noisy… . Are you alive too? Are not you tired? “You guys get some rest too, right?”
“… There’s no way I’m not tired. “I’m going crazy from sleepiness, right now.”
“Can we rest there too?”
“After all, there is only Gyeonwoo! thank you!”
“Great. First, stand guard first.”
“… “There was another ulterior motive to this?”
“If you say so… .”
“damn… . “I came here for no reason.”
On the way, triplets also came.
Thanks to this, the burden of having to stand guard has been greatly reduced.
I made them stand guard and slept with the others.
Because it was a shady place, it was quite cool and there was a gentle breeze, so I was able to sleep well.
Time has passed since then.
[Exam ends.]
[All test takers are requested to go to the gate with their admission ticket.]
[The test has ended. From now on, if students fight among themselves, they may be at a disadvantage.]
Finally, the exam was over.
After hearing the gate watch’s alarm, we packed our bags and got up.
In front of the gate, evaluators were out and inspecting the admission tickets.
We waited in line, waited our turn, and headed to the evaluators.
“Takeover number 1532, you passed. You have worked hard to take the exam. “Probably, unless something goes wrong, the test taker will be the one who comes in first place in the 5th practical exam.”
“is that so. “So can I leave the gate now?”
“Yes, you can leave. but… .”
Now you can return to the original world.
As soon as I got back to the hotel I was staying at in Academy City, I decided to take a shower and lie down on the bed to sleep.
After receiving confirmation of my passing, I was about to leave the gate.
The evaluator added:
“Number 1532… No, test taker Do Gyeon-woo.”
“yes.”
“The chairman asked me to tell him that he would like to see me as soon as I went outside.”
Chairman of Geumgang Academy.
Star Witch, So Hye-yul.
Finally she moved.
