The sll of alcohol is in the air.
It must have been because the location was near Ulsan.
Lee Seo-ha shifted his gaze.
Towards the student council president.
Her hair was as black as the night sky, cascading down to her waist.
And her eyes shone like obsidian.
She wore the shoulder straps that only the student council president could wear, looking confidently at us, her posture seemingly slumped at first glance.
Remarkable.
I activated my Divine Sight and looked. The Black God Martial Arts strived for a perfect body. Thus, I was confident in my ability to judge physiques.
Black Heaven agreed.
Lee Seo-has body was already a work of art in itself. My physique, honed by Black God Martial Arts, had long since transford into the heavenly body that every warrior dreams of.
The student council presidents body wasnt slumped. It appeared so only because of its perfection.
Equal or perhaps superior to .
It must have been because of her innate constitution.
The Elixir of Heaven (S ). And her talent, the Infinite Residue (S ).
Youre staring too intensely, arent you?
Am I?
At Park Woon-hyuks words, Lee Seo-ha wore an awkward expression. How should I put it? Its a novel sentint.
Just as I was about to take one last look at her, our eyes t. The student council presidents. She glanced at with a montarily puzzled look.
If everyone is gathered, line up in a row.
Instructor Seo Woo-jus words had the kids starting to line up.
Ershil stood next to Lee Seo-ha, with Kim Ara and Seo Ga-yeon behind him.
But the atmosphere was strange. There was significant hostility, especially towards the student council president.
-As always, girls are hostile towards those they see as rivals.
-Well, its all thanks to our masters popularity.
Eternal Heaven wagged its tail in agreent.
From now on, we will start the joint lesson. Second-years, teach the first-years what youve learned over the past year, and first-years, use this ti to understand what skills you can acquire in a year with a humble attitude.
Instructor Seo Woo-ju sighed internally while speaking.
He had been managing first-years for generations, so he knew how exceptional the talents in the current first-year class were.
I havent seen such raw gems in my 10 years of teaching here.
And according to those who had been here longer, this class was arguably the best in school history.
So had already beco untouchable even to instructors and professors.
Even without considering background or lineage.
There were students who had surpassed the instructors and professors purely by skill. And at the forefront was Lee Seo-ha.
He was more than just overwhelming. When he first saw him, considering his system wasnt martial arts, he had now beco a being that even several instructors couldnt guarantee victory against with just martial arts.
Therefore, Seo Woo-ju opposed this training. The first-year level was too high.
Too high for the current second-years to handle. What if the second-years were overwhelmingly defeated by the first-years? Their morale would hit rock bottom.
And once the rumors spread, many of the second-years futures would be obstructed.
Ill allow it.
However, Seo Woo-ju respected the instructors. The one called The Emperor had allowed it. The professors imdiately created the joint training.
The reason was still unknown. Perhaps they hoped the first-years would trample the second-years and sprout new buds.
Or maybe.
They didnt mind sacrificing everything for a few brilliantly shining sprouts.
Despite the grandiose term joint training, it was nothing special.
First-year Park Woon-hyuk! Second-year Woo Hyo-seong! Step forward!
First-years and second-years sparred with each other, the latter presenting a formidable challenge to the forr. The first-years, observing this challenge, were expected to learn humbly during this joint training year.
I shifted my gaze to the student council president. Although she watched the sparring ground with an expressionless face, I knew she was inwardly anxious.
Worried because the level is higher than expected?
The level of the first-year students was quite high. There was Kim Seo-hyun, who grew stronger the more he admired , Hong Yu-hwa who developed her Usurper skill after being stimulated by , Seo Ga-yeon who acquired the power of starlight magic from the very beginning, and Kim Ara who imdiately unleashed her Origin Force.
As they beca stronger, others began to be stimulated by them.
This chain reaction led to a slight upward equalization beyond their original levels.
Haat!
Woo Hyo-seong swung his great sword, but Park Woon-hyuk calmly blocked it.
After several rapid exchanges, Park Woon-hyuk pointed his spear at Woo Hyo-seongs neck.
Park Woon-hyuk wins!
Park Woon-hyuk simply bowed his head and stepped down, showing respect for the defeated. The sha of losing to a first-year was greater than expected.
Starting with Park Woon-hyuk, the first-years began to win continuously. There were students who lost to second-years, but that was unavoidable, I suppose.
Seo Ga-yeon wins!
Kim Ara wins!
With each announcent from the referee, the student council presidents expression darkened.
Seo Ga-yeon and Kim Ara were overwhelmingly dominant in their victories. They aptly trampled their opponents.
Did sothing happen to hold a grudge against the second-years?
I found myself thinking.
There wasnt any, but perhaps it happened due to the butterfly effect since I arrived in this world.
I looked at the student council president.
The level of the second-years was diocre at best. However, the student council president was a bit different.
Its a matter of compatibility.
She was strong in her own right, but the talents she possessed were powers that wouldnt be strange to call compatible with mine.
Ershil wins!
Ershil gracefully greeted her opponent.
I was still pondering. I was the top first-year. The student council president was the top second-year. I wouldnt lose to her. I had a variety of ans.
But it seems problematic that I might not be able to win.
My power negated all supernatural abilities, different from the mysterious power that interfered with the system.
The problem was, the student council president also possessed a similar mystery.
To be more honest, I also didnt want to fight her.
Lee Seo-ha! Step forward!
My na was called. I sighed inwardly and stepped up.
Second-year top student. Student council president, Seong Han-byul.
Yes.
She walked up onto the training ground, in front of , confidently smiling but wary of with her eyes.
Maybe its imprinted in the mory in a different way.
Thinking that way wasnt too bad.
Ding.
Event Quest: Defeat the rmaids that fled to the coast to escape the nagas.
Nagas caused chaos, disrupting the nearby ecosystem. The rfolk suffered and have co this far.
However, their primary food is humans. Eliminate them.
Reward: 20,000P. Additional rewards depending on the content.
Lucky.
An event had been triggered. It was about ti for sothing like this.
Most of these events indirectly affect all students and cause casualties, but they are also events that allow those with outstanding talents to grow even more.
I shifted my gaze. Through Divine Sight, I saw a distorted background.
Could it be luck?
The distortion in the magical flux ant a powerful entity had arrived.
Then, lets start the duel
It might be better not to.
What do you an?
The student council president, Seong Han-byul, asked with a curious look.
Then her expression turned complex as she observed .
You have good instincts.
I was born with it. But it seems we need to deal with those things first.
Alright. You do know that the students safety is the top priority, right?
Yes. Thats why Ill take on the strongest one and buy so ti.
I stepped forward, holding Black Heaven.
No, I an youre important too.
Yes.
Thats when I recalled why I had liked the student council president. She appeared strong on the outside but was tenderhearted. She rembered those who had died, striving to avenge them or fulfill their wishes.
Well, her appearance played a part too.
Dont worry. Im confident I can handle myself.
But dont push yourself too hard. Youre still a student, after all.
I understood her underlying aning. She ant that I should value my life more as I was still learning.
The instructors and professors were already preparing to intercept the rfolk.
Even if I stepped in, it would only slightly reduce the casualties.
That wont do.
I stepped forward. There were several reasons. The student council president, Seong Han-byul, had a tendency to think its okay to overexert herself if it ans saving students.
And there were points involved.
I needed to earn points.
