I Became a Student at the Transcension Academy

Chapter 16 - Academy Competition (2)

After that day.

Seojun continued to prepare for the academy competition.

And the preparation was to raise the progress of the lecture, and now I continue to raise the progress of the lecture.

The current progress of Seojun's lecture was as follows.

< Chiron lecture progress rate 28.5%... >

< Sakyamuni lecture progress rate 5.2%... >

< Hangwu lecture progress rate 27.1%... >

Except for Shakyamuni lecture, which is only 5.2%, the progress rate will soon reach 30%.

Compared to the others, the progress of the Shakyamuni Lecture was seriously lagging behind, but Seo-joon refused to do so.

Although the progress rate was only 5.2%, it was because they were enjoying the effect.

Even taking that into account, progress is slow.

‘If I keep working hard, I'll take a picture someday. Let's think it's fortunate that we started sooner rather than later. ‘

Seo-joon was able to understand the meaning of the mentor's words that it is not too late to listen now.

‘Still, I want the progress rate of Chiron and Hangu's lecture to exceed 30% before the competition...'

But it wasn't the lecture of Chiron and Hangu.

Of course, it wasn't that he suddenly gained strength or awakened every time the seat in front of him changed.

Even so, the reason why Seo-joon is obsessed with 30% is because if you ask if it's really different, it's not.

‘I felt the difference between 19% and 20% more clearly than the difference between 20% and 21%.'

The academy competition is a competition where students who compete for the best in each academy gather.

Although it was a lower tournament treated as a 4th division league, it was not easy to watch.

‘I can't miss the prize money.'

100 million won prize money.

With that 100 million, Seo-jun could buy the Longinus spear sold at the Transcendent Academy.

However, Seojun was not nervous. There are two weeks left before the competition.

During that time, Seo-joon was just doing his best to prepare.

2 weeks after that.

< Chiron lecture progress rate 31.7%... >

< Sakyamuni lecture progress rate 6.8%... >

< Hangwu lecture progress rate 33.4%... >

Seojun was able to exceed the goal of 30%.

“Here is the list of academies participating in this competition.”

Academy competition approaching at the same time.

Seo-joon slowly looked through the list Seo-yoon handed him.

[Mint Academy]

[Revenant Academy]

[Gochuri Academy]

[Dream Academy]

.

.

.

Roughly counting, it seemed that 30 Hunter Academy were participating.

And as expected, ‘Gaon Hunter Mill Ale', one of Korea's top three hunter academies, as well as other prestigious academies did not participate.

“These are academies I’ve heard of at least once.”

“Have you heard?”

“yes. Because I have a lot of interest in Hunter Academy.”

“Ah...”

Seojun shrugged his shoulders as he answered, and Seoyoon made a sullen expression for some reason.

When I looked at Seoyoon, wondering if I had made a mistake, Seoyoon opened her mouth.

“But our academy hasn’t heard of it…”

“Haha…”

Does that happen again?

Seo-joon smiled shyly.

Seoyoon looked at Seojun and opened her mouth again.

“just joke. Anyway, don't be too stressed out. Anyway, Seojun-ssi hasn’t been training for a while now.”

“yes. I think it is going to be an experience.”

That's what he said, but Seo-joon was determined to win this competition.

“Now let’s start slowly!”

Seo-joon took a step forward.

The place where the academy competition took place was one of the pro hunter test sites located in the metropolitan area.

Originally, there was only one Pro Hunter test site in Seoul. However, as time passed, unlike before, it could not accommodate all the overflowing Awakeners.

In the end, it could not handle the ever-increasing number of pro-hunter test takers, and the pro-hunter association and the government led the expansion of the test center.

Now, there are about 100 professional hunter test sites nationwide.

Of course, no matter how many Awakeners there were, it was true that 100 or so were many.

So, each test center specialized in three test subjects, and the current pro hunter test was taken by moving to several test centers over several days.

In addition, to lending a place to various competitions such as the academy competition.

At first, there was a lot of talk about wasting taxes or something, but now, as usual, they are just saying that.

The place of competition that arrived like that.

buzz buzz.

“There are more people than I thought…”

Seo-joon was a bit surprised at how crowded the crowd was.

It is also true that the academy competition Seo-jun participated in was a competition that was treated as a 4th division league.

Seo-joon honestly thought that the family involved or the academy officials were everything.

Seoyoon nodded slightly and explained.

“It’s going to be something to see.”

Even so, for the general public, there was nothing better to see than this.

A chance to actually see things that were only seen in movies, cartoons, or videos.

The students are basically pro hunter preparation students. There was only a level difference, but it was no different from the Hunters.

No matter how much the awakening era, this kind of opportunity to see hunters fighting was not common.

“And the scouts will be pretty mixed too. These are people from guilds or mercenaries. Perhaps some government officials will also observe.”

“Oh, I see.”

Seojun nodded.

As I said, all students attending the Hunter Academy prepare for the Pro Hunter exam.

And if you pass the pro hunter test, you will be active as a pro hunter.

It wasn't that there weren't pro hunters working alone. But most of them work in teams.

In a word, most of the people gathered here were people who were trying to preoccupy the students who showed signs of budding.

Anyway, the students participating here were the students who were evaluated as promising by each academy.

‘I heard it's about the 4th division... Is the tournament a tournament?'

That moment.

Suddenly, several people around him looked at Seo-joon and began to whisper.

It looks like you're staring at it.

Seo-jun was puzzled, but he could guess the reason from the voice he heard.

“Then I’ll be watching from the stands. Good luck!”

Seoyoon was embarrassed and hurriedly avoided the seat.

‘It's because of Seoyoon, not me.'

Come to think of it, people didn't like Seo-joon.

Seo-joon shook his head and headed to the waiting room before the competition.

The waiting room was full of students.

Up to 4 players were allowed to participate in each academy, and there are currently 30 participating academies.

However, since there was only one student at Dream Academy, Seo-jun, there were 117 students participating in the contest.

Seo-joon glanced at the gathered students for a moment.

Shameless arms. Some proud faces.

I felt that they were definitely the best students in each academy.

In contrast, all Seojun had was an iron bar.

It is also a crude iron bar that can be seen on a construction site.

Among them, Seojun had no choice but to stand out.

“What is that guy? What academy did you come from?”

“Where did you enter to make your name known at a rural academy?”

“He is pitiful too. I would have been forced to Why are you entering such an academy in the first place?”

Thanks to the trained body, all the whispering sounds could be heard.

And if it was Seo-joon in the past, he would have become depressed watching his notice.

‘Maybe I'm listening to a lecture while I'm waiting.'

To Seo-joon now, it was nothing more than the barking of the neighborhood dog.

Seo-joon looked around and looked around to find a suitable place.

Even in the midst of that, I heard something whispering towards Seo-joon, but I ignored it.

Click.

Then, I picked up my smartphone and started listening to the lecture at the Transcendent Academy.

That time when I thought I was good at doing my daily assignments in advance.

“Oh hello…”

A greeting suddenly came from the side.

Looking at something, someone was sitting right next to Seo-joon.

The small, dwarfed man looked rather young somewhere. About high school students?

As Seo-jun looked at him, he carefully opened his mouth.

“Are you… a student participating in the competition?”

“Ah yes.”

“me too. ah! My name is Lee Min-ki.”

“I’m Seojun Kim.”

And Seo-joon looked away as it was. Because there was nothing more to share.

In fact, Seo-joon didn't even know why he was shouting.

Everyone gathered here were competitors.

They didn't belong to the same academy... No, even if they belonged to the same academy, it didn't change that they were competitors.

After all, there was only one winner of the competition.

It was normal to have to fight, let alone name Tong Seong.

as soon as.

“hey! I would have told you to turn it off.”

Like this.

Quaang!

A roar erupted from somewhere along with a loud voice.

Seo-joon's eyes naturally headed there, and there, a man with a strong voice like a voice was confronting a certain student.

“I’m Jang Deok-cheol. Gochuri Academy is promising. As you can see, I use an ax as my main weapon.”

Then Mingi's voice is heard. Seo-joon turned his head and looked at Min-gi.

Why would you explain something you didn't even ask?

Seojun turned his head again and looked at the giant man.

And I don't know if I heard Min-gi's words, but I saw a large ax behind the giant's back.

“If you go off, should I go off?”

The voice of a man who was confronting a giant came next.

“I am Lee Chul-min, a promising player from Mint Academy. They say he uses a special double dagger.”

At the same time, Mingi's explanation was also heard.

Seo-joon watched the situation in front of him, thinking that he would do that now.

“Are you going to try it now?”

“I think Sibi walked first? It looks like the muscles have even filled the brain, right?”

“This bastard!”

Jang Deok-cheol snarled at Lee Cheol-min's provocation, not provocation, and took his hand to the ax hanging behind his back.

an imminent situation. Right then.

“Will you be quiet?”

A calm voice came from somewhere.

The attention of all the students in the waiting room was directed towards it in a heterogeneous atmosphere.

“what? What kind of bastard...!”

Jang Deok-cheol turned his head almost to death, probably angry at the thought of being ignored.

However, after confirming the owner of the voice, he hurriedly shut his mouth.

A man with a sharp impression and a cold atmosphere.

“This Lee Jun-hwan?”

Deokcheol Jang muttered, and at the same time, the entire waiting room started to stir.

“what? You have Lee Jun-hwan?”

“Didn’t you say you weren’t going to participate?”

However, the man called Lee Jun-hwan didn't care about the eyes of those people at all.

I just looked at Jang Deok-cheol and said.

“Do you use the waiting room alone?”

“Kuhmm...!”

Jang Deok-cheol, who had been acting like he was about to beat everything up until just now, coughed and avoided his gaze.

And that was not different from Lee Cheol-min.

Seo-joon looked at Min-ki involuntarily, and Min-gi opened his mouth with a slightly surprised expression.

“That... I'm a student named Lee Jun-hwan. He's a promising player from the Revenant Academy, and he's practically the winner of this competition.”

“Are you the winner?”

Not a winner?

When Seo-joon tilted his head, Min-gi immediately continued.

“yes. Originally, they said they wouldn't participate because the level was low, but it seems that Revenant took matters into their own hands. I don’t know what conditions were presented, but as long as Lee Jun-hwan came out, the championship was guaranteed.”

“To the point of ejaculation at the academy… I think it’s amazing.”

Mingi nodded and said.

“You know the swordsman, right?”

“Wouldn’t it be strange not to know?”

“Haha... that's right.”

Mingi smiled shyly and continued.

“Rumor has it that the granddaughter offered to scout.”

“yes? Are you Seoyoon?”

“Are you Seoyoon?”

Min-gi tilts his head for a moment.

“Ah, the words were in vain.”

Seo-joon lightly shook his hand and corrected his words.

Min-gi looked at Seo-joon curiously and then continued.

“But for some reason, they said they refused. Rejecting the offer of the swordsman's granddaughter... That must mean that she's confident in her skills.”

no. Probably not just because of that.

Seojun forced himself to swallow the words that were about to come out.

Then, after letting out a laugh inside, he asked Min-gi.

“You know the other people well.”

The people gathered here were just students.

No matter how promising they are called at each academy, they are still students.

Of course, promising academies from prestigious academies are known for more than just famous pro hunters.

However, not all academy prospects were known like this.

Even Seo-jun, who knew the academy well, knew little about the promising students belonging to it.

Especially if it's an academy that comes out of this 4th division league.

“That's because I'm interested in so many things... haha.”

Mingi scratches the back of his head and replies.

Min-gi looked like he was sparing his words, but Seo-joon didn't bother to ask.

However, I turned my gaze and looked at Lee Jun-hwan, who was sitting indifferently.

Lee Jun-hwan exudes sharp momentum like his impression.

‘He's as promising as Seo-yoon suggested...'

While Seo-joon was thinking that way, Lee Jun-hwan wasn't in a good mood right now.

Lee Jun-hwan took a quick look around.

Then, all of them lowered their eyes and slinkily avoided them.

‘To think I had to compete with these low-level bastards...'

Lee Jun-hwan went beyond a bad mood and began to get annoyed.

In fact, Lee Jun-hwan did not have the slightest desire to participate in this competition.

To be precise, I had no intention of attending an academy that reached the level of the 4th division.

Nevertheless, the reason Lee Jun-hwan participated was because of his uncle's request to put him in the 3rd division just once.

Even if you win a competition like this, no one will recognize you.

Even if you beat the garbage, it will only become good garbage.

‘If I knew it would turn out like this, I would have accepted her offer then.'

The granddaughter of the Sword Master with a smooth face.

After receiving an offer pretending not to win, I regretted how I should have used it well and then abandoned it.

At that moment, Lee Jun-hwan suddenly felt the eyes looking at him.

Wanting something, I turned my gaze, and there was a certain guy in a sloppy outfit holding an iron bar like you would see on a construction site, staring blankly at him.

‘Fuck. Are even bugs like that taking part?'

Lee Jun-hwan nervously looked away.

And the bastard who was looking at Lee Jun-hwan was none other than Seo-jun.

‘I wonder how much the progress rate of the lecture will go up if I fight.'

“Students, the competition is about to start! Everyone, please finish your preparations!”

Seo-joon rose from his seat at the sound of a shout from a contest official.
