I Became the Novel’s EX-Class Genius Chapter 4

Episode 4. test(1)

One.

next day.

“Why do you look so tired?”

Jeong Ju-won, who was going to school with me, asked me.

I answered Joo-won Jeong’s question in a weak voice.

“I didn’t sleep well.”

I had a hard time sleeping trying to figure out how to move forward.

“Wasn’t the dorm bed comfortable?”

“I guess it’s because I changed my bed, huh?”

I felt like telling my situation would only hurt my mouth, so I gave a cursory answer and opened the door to class 5.

Grumble.

For a moment, it felt like the classroom became quiet.

Tingling.

At that time, I felt like someone was glaring at me, so I turned my head and saw Dabin Hwang, who was sitting with Selina, glaring at me.

‘what? ‘Why are they sitting together?’

Dabin Hwang was originally sitting in the front row. Seeing as Selina’s seat was still the same, it seemed like Dabin Hwang went first and spoke to her.

While I was thinking this, Jeong Ju-won headed toward the edge without saying a word.

Seeing that, I made an embarrassed expression and walked towards the direction where Dabin Hwang and Selina were.

This was because my seat was right behind Selina, so I had no choice.

Selina was looking at me with eyes full of curiosity.

“hi.”

“… … .”

“Do not talk to me. “You pervert.”

“… … ?”

When I greeted them both, Selina ignored me and Dabin Hwang called me a pervert and moved to the front.

I smiled to myself at this reaction.

It was going according to plan.

Selina at this time was at the peak of her cool, so I wouldn’t pay much attention to it, but she wasn’t Hwang Da-bin.

Dabin Hwang was a high school student who still had a soft heart.

But it didn’t matter. With this, Hwang Da-bin will definitely think that I’m not that good.

Grumble.

At that time, the classroom door opened, teacher Kang Joo-hyuk came in, and the students took their seats.

“Now, seeing as there are no empty seats, it looks like everyone is here. Hmm, sorry about yesterday. Now, let’s quickly introduce ourselves starting from the back row. “After the self-introduction, there will be a test, so keep that in mind.”

“yes? “A test?”

One of the students asked, and teacher Joo-hyuk Kang answered.

“okay. “Don’t worry too much because this is a test to see how much more you have grown since the entrance exam.”

That was a lie.

The level of new students is determined through the first test taken today.

It is said that a mature leaf is recognized first from the cotyledons, and the student who excelled in the first exam went to great lengths to be scouted in advance by each guild.

‘Especially this time, there were high-level awakeners such as Yoon Mir and Hwang Da-bin, so it attracted more attention.’

The two were scheduled to enter the guild anyway.

‘My nose is three c*cks.’

The limits of this body were now clear. No matter how much of a possessor and returner I am, once I return to the starting point, I cannot surpass Yoon Mir and Hwang Da-bin.

‘For now, I can only hope that an easy guy comes out.’

Of course, I knew what test I was taking today.

Because I was thinking about the exam, I couldn’t pay attention to how other students introduced themselves.

Then, before I knew it, Ji Tae-hoon was the last one to appear.

“… This is Ji Tae-hoon. “This is talent.”

Ji Tae-hoon opened his large fist on the table.

Then a small hamster popped out in the palm of my hand.

“Wow, you’re cute!”

As the hamster jumped out, a high-pitched voice was heard from the right.

Although he was small in stature, Yoo Ah-ram had a voice louder than anyone else’s.

“You have a talent for summoning… … .”

Ji Tae-hoon spoke in response to teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s muttering.

“Can I take a seat?”

“Uh, okay.”

Ji Tae-hoon placed the hamster on his open shoulders and returned to his seat.

“You all introduced yourself last, Taehoon, right? “Everyone, stay close for a year.”

“yes!”

“Okay then, let’s start the test right away.”

With teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s words, I entered Awakening High School and my first exam began.

2.

“The test you are taking this time will be administered in the same way as the entrance exam you took last time.”

Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s words reminded me of an entrance exam I had never taken before during the third session.

At the time of my possession, I was already scheduled to enter Awakening High School, so I was unable to take the entrance exam.

However, through my experience in the first and second rounds, I knew very well what kind of test ‘this test’ was.

‘How embarrassed I was during the first round.’

I saw the goggles handed out by teacher Joo-hyuk Kang.

By wearing those goggles, we could enter a virtual space created by the school system.

And there, I met a guy called ‘Monster’ who I had never encountered in my life before being possessed.

“Now, since you’ve all used it once, you probably know how to use it, right? Then everyone wear goggles.”

Following teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s instructions, all Class 5 students began wearing goggles.

I also picked up the goggles and put them on my head.

Then, a virtual space unfolded before my eyes.

“Well, is everyone in?”

Before we knew it, we were gathered in an empty lot.

“Basically, the testing method is the same as before. The difference is that if you took this test alone during the entrance exam, now you have to take it in groups of five.”

It was a kind of team raid test.

It was also a test taken with students I had never worked with before.

Through this test, the teachers at Gakseong High School planned to identify truly ‘talented’ students.

Jeong Joo-won asked a question in response to teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s words.

“Teacher, I have a question.”

“Say it.”

“I haven’t understood since the entrance exam, but I know that after the seven heroes save the world, monsters no longer appear. But I wonder why we are taking this test.”

Jeong Joo-won’s question was appropriate. The world of Part 2 of ‘Ise’ was a world where monsters had disappeared.

If you don’t have to face monsters, why take a test on monsters?

I was also curious.

“That’s a good question. The answer is that although the monsters disappeared, the talented people did not disappear. As you will know when you graduate and go out into society, you may encounter a group of criminals made up of talented people. “To prepare for such times, we train with virtual monsters.”

Most students who heard teacher Kang Joo-hyuk nodded their heads.

This was because the news was still talking loudly about a group of criminals made up of talented people.

‘But that’s not all.’

Why do we give students this training?

Having experienced the first and second rounds, I knew.

‘The reason for this training is to prevent monsters that may appear again in the future.’

In fact, although it is still a secret, monsters still appear occasionally.

Through this system, students who had encountered many monsters until graduation were able to easily deal with the monsters that appeared after graduation.

“If your questions have been resolved, the test will begin now. “The first thing you guys need to do is recruit team members.”

After hearing teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s words, I looked around.

From now on it was really important.

3.

Since everyone had to grow together in the third round, there was a need to get to know the classmates who played a large role in the latter half of the course.

‘First of all, Ji Tae-hoon started to form his own group like in the previous episode.’

Many students were also approaching Dabin Hwang.

At that time, my roommate, Jeong Ju-won, approached me.

“You asked for help, but you haven’t saved even one person yet? “How did you know that today’s test was a team test?”

“I was lucky. I was just asking for help. You see, who would want to team up with a useless awakened person like me? That’s why I used the roommate opportunity yesterday.”

“Still, I was surprised. Because you had information that I didn’t know. Anyway, I will help you as promised.”

I nodded.

Last night, I asked Joo-won Jeong for help in exchange for today’s test.

Whether in the first or second round, Jeong Joo-won gathered students with talents suitable for raiding based on his unique intelligence.

I’m sorry about this test, but I was planning on gathering my teammates and taking the bus.

“Now then, shall we start looking for team members in earnest?”

As Jeong Ju-won was looking for team members, I also looked around.

Then, while the other students were actively moving around, I noticed Selina standing still.

‘Now that I think about it, that guy… … .’

At the beginning of the semester, I remember that I wasn’t good at speaking Korean yet.

So, I remember that before receiving the interpretation equipment, Selina could not approach anyone.

I think I stayed until the end in the first and second rounds and then joined the team.

“for a moment.”

I asked for Jeong Joo-won’s understanding, approached Selina, and spoke to her in English.

“Hello, Selina. Would you like to join me?”

When I heard the fluent pronunciation of English, I saw Selina flinch.

“… … ?”

When Selina turned around, I smiled.

There were many times during the first and second rounds that the interpretation equipment broke.

At that time, Selina taught English to everyone because she was frustrated.

I looked at Selina, thinking that I had done a good job learning English from her.

Selina heard me and looked around.

Most students could be seen gathering in groups of twos and threes.

In a situation like this, it was clear that you would want to build a team with people you could communicate with.

I waited for Selina’s answer.

“Oh, me too.”

I was waiting for Selina’s answer, but the answer actually came from somewhere else.

A small girl came between us.

“… Yoo Ah-ram?”

“Oh, you remembered my name? I also remembered your name. “Lee Si-woo and Selina, right?”

As I watched Yoo Ah-ram speak with a bright expression, I made an embarrassed expression on my mind.

This didn’t happen in the first and second rounds.

This is because Yoo Ah-ram always hung out with Hwang Da-bin, whether in the first or second episode.

‘Did I attract too much attention yesterday?’

There was a good reason why the characters behaved differently from previous episodes.

In the case of Gwanjong and Yoo Ah-ram, it seemed like they moved because they thought they would attract attention if they were with us.

It was an unexpected situation, but since we had to gather five people, there was no reason to refuse.

“I don’t care.”

As I said that, I looked back at Selina and Jeong Ju-won.

Jeong Joo-won first watched me with interest as he moved to save his teammates, then felt my gaze and made a gesture saying he was okay.

Selina also thought about my question for a moment and then said.

“Of course.”

Selina, who thought she could answer in English, answered in Korean.

From this fact, I could already tell that Selina had received interpretation equipment.

I ended up bragging that I could speak English for no reason.

“Then there’s only one person left… … . Let’s see… Dabin! Have you decided on a team?”

no way… … .

Hwang Da-bin looked this way at Yoo Ah-ram’s call.

Dabin Hwang was surrounded by several students, and when he saw me and Selina together, he came towards us and said,

“No, not yet.”

“Then let’s team up with us.”

Hwang Da-bin, who looked at our team members gathered in secret at Yoo Ah-ram’s words, responded.

“good.”

I didn’t know that Hwang Da-bin would willingly accept.

Neither in the first round nor in the second round was I ever on the same team as Hwang Da-bin.

Jeong Ju-won, who saw that Hwang Da-bin had decided to join our team, came up to me and said.

“what? “You asked me to help you, but you managed to find a teammate without me?”

At those words, I looked back at my teammates.

As expected, I thought you did a good job singling out Selina and Hwang Da-bin yesterday.

My team members don’t know exactly what my talent is. That’s why they thought ‘there’s something’ to me.

As a result.

This is how we were able to come together as a team.

‘I think this member can easily pass the test.’
