34 – A Class Promotion Test (1)

I looked at Chen Weiguang in front of me.

Strong yet powerful eyes.

At the same time, wrinkles that feel the passage of time are visible all over the face.

The long beard gave off the look of a white waterfall.

Lastly, the hair on the top of the head was missing one by one, drawing a bare mountain.

The reflection of the light by the lights was naturally dazzling.

▶… Master. In this case, shouldn’t we end with modifiers like ‘I feel the aura like an active volcano’, ‘Awakener who was once called a legend, there was nothing lacking to occupy the group’s place.’

‘Um, I see.’

Well, if I could add a little more.

I guess it’s because I’m old.

The characteristic musty smell… I wondered if I washed my body every day.

No, no matter how much I wash, I can’t help that kind of body odor-

“-… You’re not thinking of being rude, are you? Cadet Choi Si-woo.”

“It could be. President.”

“Keuheum, maybe it’s because I’m sensitive lately. I feel that your gaze is sharp, especially the way you look at my hair is unusual.”

“This is a misunderstanding. Seeing the green sprouts on my scalp, I thought it must have been corrected.”

“… !! Is it real? Would you recognize I recently bought some medicine from Shanhaijing. This works great!”

I watched the old man in front of me chatter like an excited child.

It looks infinitely light and pleasant, but like a president… –

“-So, I spent a lot of money and bought a few more. I was short of money, but… It’s borrowed from Instructor Jegalin, and the cover… “

Cancel. He’s just a senile old man.

‘Haa… ‘

Since he has that kind of personality, he must have died like that in his previous life.

“President. I’d like you to tell me why you called me soon… “

“Um… ah! Look at my mind I’m sorry. Cadet Choi Si-woo.”

He coughed and continued.

“I think you know it well. How was this monster attack reported?”

“… Roughly, the B class children fought hard, and in the end, the hero Erina punished them. I know the news broke.”

“That’s right. I’m so ashamed of this… “

Chun Weiguang sighed deeply, pressing down on his wrinkled forehead.

He put his hands on his knees and bowed his head.

“… I’m really sorry. Siwoo Choi. Forgive the incompetent person who had no choice but to send out news like this even though I know very well how much work you have done and how hard you have worked hard to break your body.”

I couldn’t speak for a while.

It’s not that I’m emotional or anything like that, it’s because I was a little surprised by his attitude.

‘… I’m sure I’m a vested interest… ‘

Chun Yuguang is also a person who was born with a golden spoon from the beginning.

He is one of those people who are often referred to as ‘Royal Blood’, who have both excellent bloodline and natural talent.

That’s why they take it as a disgrace to bow down to someone like me.

‘Well, I’m not particularly impressed… ‘

In the end, it’s just to appeal to one’s own incompetence.

I don’t know why there are so many people around me who can’t play their roles properly.

I crossed my legs further and continued.

“It’s okay. So what are you going to say?”

“Hmm, I guess I need an explanation first.”

Chun Weiguang diligently told us about the circumstances of adults he didn’t want to know about.

I’m going to say it at length, but to sum it up, that’s it.

‘With this incident, Prunel’s status is on the verge of going into the gutter. That’s why extensive propaganda was needed, and therefore, a hero enough to convince the citizens was needed.’

And Erina, who had just cast ‘I Advent’ at just the right time, was there.

It is none other than that warrior.

Her personality is a woman who can only say ‘hehehe’, but on the outside, she is an ideal warrior who seems to appear in a fairy tale book.

What a good picture.

That’s why she inflated her performance as a last-mover, and the B-class kids were attached to her as a side leg.

‘Finally, I pass.’

The reason is obvious.

“In other words, the association does not like me… Can I accept that?”

“… To put it bluntly, yes. I’m so sorry. It seemed unbelievable to them. That you, who have neither proper birth nor bloodline, have that much power.”

Chun Weiguang continued to wipe away the cold sweat even after he said it himself.

As expected.

Because they are blinded by vanity and arrogance rather than practicality and understanding.

“Well, it doesn’t matter. I’m used to it.”

“I’m sorry. Anyway, it looks like the Association intends to spread this propaganda more widely. It is through the children of Class B.”

“… You mean Class A promotion?”

“Yes. You should have heard about it from Instructor Jiye Yoon, so you should have a rough idea of what happened before and after. Promotion of value for promising talents who will lead the future. And the best thing to prove it is, of course, a promotion.”

Chen Yuguang uploaded some pictures from his arms.

I saw three familiar faces.

“Song Joon-ho and Miss Oh Ha-na will be delivered sometime today. Class A promotion confirmed.”

“Did you mean to go up without taking the test?”

“Sure… this is that… “

“It must have been the influence of the Song Family and Oh Seong Dae. The achievements of the clan lead to their own status. The association that received it put pressure on Prunel.”

“Kuhmm… “

This is so… No matter how much demons and demons come in and out of the automatic door academy, they don’t have any pride.

Well, I don’t blame it.

I knew that was the case, and in any case, the promotion of these two is something to celebrate for me.

‘… It’s just that I’m a little worried about Ohana.’

Objectively speaking, her skills were not enough to be compared to A class.

I wonder what to do if I get bullied…

‘It must be okay since it’s his unique personality.’

“And finally the Iron Kingdom. Will this guy go up to A too?”

“From there, it’s business. In fact, the Association was the first to speak to the Iron Kingdom cadets. Apparently, her mother is a member of the association. But… “

“Just?”

“I refused on the spot. Actually, the words were rejected. They said that a fight almost broke out. I heard that he was very angry at Choi Si-woo, saying that you are a true hero rather than himself.”

‘Gee, bastard… I’ll just accept it to make people feel uncomfortable.’

It doesn’t mean much to me anyway.

While he was frowning, Chen Yuguang looked at him excitedly.

What is it? Is this old man?

‘I wonder if I’m really senile.’

“Kuhm! From here, my activity unfolds. I strongly recommended you because there was a vacant seat anyway, and I had a justification.”

“… Are you talking to the Association?”

“Yes. He said sh*t while using arrogance.”

“… You’re the president, isn’t the word ‘f*ck’ too rude?”

“Uh-huh, the association guys are f*cking cheap. They are bastards who want to put a nutmeg into their heads.”

“Well, that’s right.”

“Anyway, we made a compromise and decided to decide with a ‘test’ rather than a confirmation of promotion. Start in one day! I can’t tell you the details, but I believe that you will pass safely.”

After finishing his speech, Chen Weiguang sent a bright look as if saying, ‘I did a good job?’.

It was so disgusting that a man who was over 100 years old was like that.

‘It’s a test… ‘

She felt it when she heard it from Yoon Ji-ye, but why?

I wasn’t particularly interested.

He also showed a look of bewilderment, perhaps realizing this.

“… You’re not as happy as you think.”

“Well, it’s not particularly appealing. Wouldn’t the president know too? After all, it just takes time. It’s as natural as an apple falling to the ground for me to go up to the S-Class.”

“Kuhmm… I’m arrogant, but I have nothing to say as a fact.”

“And I risked my life and fought, and even protected all the children in my class… Instead of recognizing them, they took a backseat while listening to the sound of ‘mongrel’ and ‘trash’, and now they call them as if they are patronizing them. In common sense, who would like that?”

“What a mongrel! No one says anything like that!”

“Okay. Just looking at the news comments, it was full of such nuances.”

“hehehehe!”

Chen Yuguang wiped his sweat with his handkerchief.

He couldn’t make proper eye contact as if he was being stabbed a lot inside.

‘It’s easy.’

I was a little worried.

According to his memories of his previous life, he was a decent person, but he did not have a serious conversation.

I was a mediocre cadet, but how long would I have had a relationship with the president?

So I thought there were a few serpents that looked like that on the outside but were black on the inside… He was just what he saw.

‘I wonder how he got to the rank of president.’

Anyway, it was time to fulfill the real purpose of moving here.

“So, by the way… I wonder if the academy will compensate me for this bitter pain.”

“… Huh? Compensation?”

“Yes, it is.”

“If you want money, it will take some time, but-“

“- No. No. Other than that, I’ve heard that there is a warehouse dedicated to the academy for storing valuables.”

“… Are you sure?”

“Yes, one of the items there. Give it to me.”

“Kuhmm… “

“From what I usually hear, I know that the president is expressing the attitude that the person’s efforts must be rewarded. Do you think I deserve it for my performance?”

“Kuhmm… “

“If you are a fair president, this is my wish. I trust you will not pretend not to know.”

At my words, Chen Weiguang scratched his scalp as if he had a headache.

After thinking for a while, he sighed and set a condition.

“Make it clear… is it?”

“Yes, this test. The association’s inspector said he’d come to see it in person. I got burned by that bastard too. If you promise to flatten that son of a b*tch’s nose there, I’ll give it to you myself.”

The expression of wrath was on his face.

It looks like it was roasted by the inspector for quite some time.

“That’s good. I will.”

“Good! Oh and… “

“Anything else you want to say?”

“Well, I said it out loud… Items in the warehouse are grade A or lower, please… More than that, 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 a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of ”

“…… “

The image of the ‘legend’ is gradually shattering…

It doesn’t matter.

Because the things to choose are decided in the first place.

“Class C.”

“… ?”

I raised my index finger and continued.

“I’ll take only one grade C.”

* * *

Time passed quickly and the day of the exam arrived.

‘I thought it was held in an academy… It’s going to be held outside the arena.’

▶ Sniff. The sense of smell works. It smells of doubt.

As an aside, there was a phone call from the Iron Kingdom at night.

He told me that for this test, in fact, Prunel only put his name on it, and I heard that the association made all the preparations.

‘Looks like he’s anxious to get me down somehow.’

On the contrary, I expected it to be this much.

I wonder what the association bastards had prepared.

It was the moment I was walking like that.

I raised my head at the sign of someone approaching.

The main character of the gaze I had been feeling since earlier was looking this way.

“Hello~?”

‘… What. This woman?’

I looked up and down at the opponent.

Blue-toned hair arranged in stripes with strong blonde hair.

For a moment, I thought it was like the blueberry peanut jam I ate before.

I could feel the strong scent of perfume through my nose.

The woman put on a strong lipstick with heavy makeup, and her fingertips were decorated with colorful manicure and nails.

‘On top of that, the brown skin made from tanning.’

In a nutshell, that was it.

‘Geum Tae-nyeo.’

▶… Isn’t that a gyaru?

‘That’s what it is.’

I had only heard of it, but it was the first time I had actually seen fashion like this, so I was amazed.

In the meantime, she quickly approached me.

The woman with a smile in her eyes opened her mouth slowly towards me, licking her lips.
