< The constellations are my disciples – Mr. Kim from the corner of the room >
◈ Episode 001. Why are kids so weak? (1)
‘Valhalla’, a huge institution located in Gangdong-gu, Seoul, is a very famous and highly respected contractor training academy, said to be one of the world’s top three contract training institutions.
That’s why every year, a huge number of contractors apply to build upon Valhalla’s reputation.
Among them, only 1,500 will pass the ridiculous competition of 250:1 and step on the threshold of Valhalla.
However, even if they enter school, their competition does not end there.
That’s because there are only less than 150 cadets who graduate and go out into society with the name of Valhalla.
Therefore, all students who enter Valhalla begin competing.
A competition to carry the name of Valhalla on our backs.
Since when?
From the moment the entrance ceremony started.
“Wow, there are so many again this time.”
Above the huge stadium within the Valhalla grounds.
Valhalla’s combat instructor Lee Sang-cheol, who was watching the fights taking place in a total of 16 arenas at a place overlooking the site, turned his gaze and answered when he saw a man approaching him.
“Well, in the competition for admission rankings, there are bound to be many.”
Battle for admission rankings.
It was a type of test taken by new students who had been confirmed to enter Valhalla to determine their rank before starting the semester.
“So, are you here to see your nephew?”
Yoo Min-jun, the man who was smiling at Lee Sang-cheol’s question, nodded and said.
“That’s right, our Yushin family has high expectations for Soyeon this time.”
“Yoo So-yeon… … .”
Hearing Yoo Min-jun’s words, Sang-cheol Lee soon remembered her personal information.
“… … “It certainly seems like there’s something worth looking forward to in the Yushin family this time.”
Yoo So-yeon.
She holds the title of a genius who emerged from the Yushin family, one of the five major families in Korea. Her personal information written down was as splendid as her fame.
“At the age of 10, I started handling mana, which only high school students can handle, and at 13, I was able to naturally put mana into a sword… … la.”
“I didn’t stop there, and at the age of 16, I won several times against contractors belonging to our Yushinga. There… … .”
“Is there something else? As far as I know, that seems to be the end of the personal information.”
In response to Lee Sang-cheol’s question, Yoo Min-jun smiled and spoke.
“Even if this is the truth, we have high expectations for Soyeon, but the most important thing is that Soyeon is already able to communicate with the guardian constellation of our Yusinga.”
“… what?”
Lee Sang-cheol looks at him with an expression that makes no sense.
However, Yoo Min-jun just looked at him with a confident expression, and Sang-cheol Lee asked after some time.
“Really?”
“sure.”
“her.”
Why there are five major families in Korea.
This was because of the guardian constellations attached to each of the five major families.
The ‘Sword God’ of the Yushin family
‘Changgwi’ of the Jangsan family
The ‘King of Swords’ of the Choi Jin family
‘King of Kwon’ of the Wuseon family
‘Palace God’ of the Dozon family
Unlike the B-class constellations that contract with general contractors, thanks to the power of the constellations with S-class and higher abilities, there were five major families in Korea that were differentiated from others.
Unlike ordinary people, people belonging to each family receive the ‘protection’ of the Constellation and gain talents and abilities that are far superior to others.
However, being able to communicate directly with the guardian constellation was different.
Being able to communicate with the guardian constellation at this age means that Yoo So-yeon’s magical power is already great enough to communicate with the S-class guardian constellation.
What that meant was that not only would she receive the ‘protection’ of the Guardian Constellation at an early age, but she would also be able to make a ‘contract’.
And of course, no matter how much of a family heir he was, signing a contract with the Guardian Constellation at an early age was not something anyone could do, so Lee Sang-cheol smiled and answered.
“… … “You really are a genius.”
“Yes? “I’m looking forward to it all, too.”
Yoo Min-jun raised the corners of his mouth with a proud expression and spoke.
“So, what about my proud nephew’s game?”
“I guess it’s not over yet. “Are you here to watch your nephew play?”
In response to his question, Yoo Min-jun shook his head.
“Well, I thought Soyeon would just make it to the finals or runner-up no matter how bad she was, so I actually just stopped by today on my way home to go with her.”
In response to Yoo Min-jun’s words, Lee Sang-cheol moved the tablet he was holding around as if to wait a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Round 8, the last match of the day. “It starts in 30 seconds.”
“Oh, really? “Then, would you please let me take a look?”
“You said you didn’t have to look at it a little while ago?”
“Well, it’s funny that you don’t even have to watch the game, right?”
“Then go down and see.”
“Look at that crowd? “That’s a bit weird.”
Certainly, there were quite a lot of people lined up inside the stadium.
The first thing you see are scouts from each guild.
They were rolling their eyes here and there, trying to find even the slightest bit of useful talent, excluding the five major families whose residences had already been decided.
The next thing you see are reporters.
As contracting is a profession that is so popular that it is almost like a celebrity, the public’s interest has naturally increased, so reporters were also rolling their eyes in search of news stories.

The last thing we see is the citizens.
Most of them were probably friends or parents of new students currently attending the entrance ceremony.
In fact, except for reporters and scouts, citizens will not come here to look at rookies who have not yet emerged.
“Well, please show me, what does it mean to like a senior?”
“Tsk, did you ever treat me like a senior?”
Lee Sang-cheol said that when he heard Yoo Min-jun’s voice coming from inside the stadium as he looked away, but he sighed as if he knew right away and operated the tablet.
Ugh-
At the same time, one of the 16 stadiums that had always been visible through the window began to appear enlarged.
“oh.”
There were two people in the expanded stadium.
One of them was Yoo So-yeon, whom Yu Min-jun, who was next to her, couldn’t help but praise, and was holding the handle of the sword at her waist with her cool face down.
On the other side, I saw an ordinary freshman standing wearing the gauntlets that the academy provides as standard for rankings.
“… … “You look relaxed.”
Lee Sang-cheol frowned at the sight of the man standing without a fighting stance, but Yoo Min-jun responded without losing his smile.
“Do you think you’ve given up? Well, I guess Soyeon is already well-known externally because of her genius title.”
There were quite a few people gathered near the stadium where Yoo So-yeon and the man were standing, as if what Yoo Min-jun said was true.
Starting with scouts, reporters, and even citizens gathered there with expressions of interest.
They were all paying attention to the stadium where Soyeon Ryu and the new students were, or more precisely, to Soyeon Ryu standing in the stadium.
The spotlight is on only one place.
Clearly, that situation alone was enough to make the freshman on the other side feel intimidated.
Unlike Yoo So-yeon, a direct descendant of the 5th generation family who has been handling mana since the age of 10 and holding the title of genius, the man on the other side was nothing more or less than an ordinary freshman.
However, even so, Lee Sang-cheol still did not like the new student’s attitude.
“Tsk, you guessed you wouldn’t win and then gave up, that’s lame.”
“I think it will take less than five seconds to take it down.”
Lee Sang-cheol answered while watching Yoo Min-jun predicting how quickly the new student would fail.
“Tsk, that’s pathetic.”
“Rather than that, it’s just unlucky. “On the first day, I met the genius of Yusinga.”

The count begins with a light conversation.
[2]
As the count began, Yoo So-yeon, who had been watching her opponent, a freshman, in the stadium, bowed down with a stern expression.
[One]
I gave strength to the hand holding the sword.
[start]
As soon as it started, he ran out and drew his sword.
Yoo So-yeon leaped with a perfect posture that even most contractors would praise as a neat move. In an instant, she came within a stone’s throw of the man and swung her sword.
Lee Sang-cheol was able to see why Yoo Min-jun couldn’t help but praise him.
‘Already a flawless sword at a young age.’
Sword energy.
Even though she has been using mana since she was 10 years old, actually using it is another story, so Lee Sang-cheol was amazed to see her handling sword energy.
The sword energy contained in Yoo So-yeon’s sword was perfect, with no instability whatsoever.
That meant that he had complete control over his magical powers at such a young age.
Therefore, Lee Sang-cheol confirmed that the sword imbued with sword energy was being struck down and was confident that the game would be won quickly, as Yoo Min-jun said.
The next moment.
Bah!
Certainly, as Lee Sang-cheol and Yoo Min-jun expected, the game ended too quickly.
However, if there was something different from Yoo Min-jun’s expectations.
“… … uh?”
[Kim Joo-hyuk wins.]
The person lying on the field was not an ordinary freshman, but Soyeon Yoo.
and.
“what is this?”
The person who defeated Yoo So-yeon, the genius of the Confucian family whom Yu Min-jun had praised a little while ago, was the one who defeated him.
“Why is everyone so incompetent? “Is this really 300 years from now?”
He was muttering and laughing as if it was absurd.
