I Teleported Into th Chapter 8: Battle Skills Class

Chapter 8: Battle Skills Class

Today was the real thing.

The other classmates seed excited that the boring theory classes were over.

“Finally, the first battle class.”

“I was dying in my seat just sitting all morning.”

The huge training ground is divided in half, one for close combat troops and the other for shooters.

In this training, the magicians were part of the shooters.

“Using

as the midpoint, the combat team on the left and shooters on the right. The magicians co stand behind .”

I headed towards the back of professor Jin Hyuk Kim.

But on my way, I was stopped.

“The close combat troops will be divided according to the weapon used here, so wait a little… Um, cadet Ho-Yeon Lee? I guess you didn’t listen to . Out of the ranged shooters, only the wizard cos behind . You should go to the left.”

“Excuse ? But I am a magician.”

“What are you talking about? It said on your application that you are a sword fighter. You provided supplental material that you were training in swordsmanship even up til the application.”

What the hell was he talking about?

In the ga, your skill set was determined based on how you applied to the academy.

My default is a sword? I an, then why would you give

[Mana empathy] as a special skill set? They should have given

sothing like [Swordsmanship skills] or sothing like that.

Well, I had no choice. I had already made up my mind not to fight the villains up close, and since it seed like I had innate skills in magic, I needed to change my major.

“Well, to be honest, after thinking really hard, I figured out that I should be a magician.”

“What deep analysis did you do when you just submitted the application last month and had orientation just a few days ago?”

“…”

“Phew, well anyways. Try talking with your advisor. I won’t say anything if he’s okay with it.”

“Thank you.”

I was finally allowed to stand behind him.

“Who is that kid? I thought he was smart, but he’s a little cuckoo.”

“Well, maybe he was able to transform his specialty?”

“Does that make sense for a newbie? He’s not even an active hunter.”

“I would rather believe that he just wants to go see professor Sol Lim.”

There was a lot of talk behind my back.

For reference, specialty transformation was an effect that the pro hunters experienced, which was a significant improvent of skill set from the many hours of practice.

Usually, the transformation happens as a result of countless training, real life battles or an intense battle.

In exceptional cases, there are situations where it happens with just pure skill.

For example, the professor Lim that they were talking about. She was able to transform without any real life experience solely through studies in her lab.

And it won’t happen anyti soon, but Surin Moon will transform and flip out the entire school for setting a record.

Then that record will again be broken by the current first-years…but that story didn’t matter right now.

Anyways, we headed to the training center separated by category.

“Finally a magician class. I have been counting down for this day.”

“I really wanted to learn from professor Lim. I am so excited to see her.”

The professor of magicians, Sol Lim.

She accepted the position as professor with the offer that she will receive unlimited equipnt and research support, being the greatest magician of her ti.

There was a rumor that 30% of the school’s budget was spent on her, but her worth was beyond more.

Her face was pretty even in the ga, and she was popular for her charming character. Unfortunately, she was not one of the heroines.

When all the students gathered, the professor moved her eyes from the books and lifted her head.

“Hmm? When did you all get here?”

Pat. Pat.

Sol Lim got up from her seat and brushed off her butt and approached us.

“One, two, three…hm.. The number of students mismatches the records. Why is that so?”

“Actually, I was added. I was thinking deeply about my career and….”

“Okay, welco.”

I had prepared a speech, but she just let

pass. She was this kind of a person.

She wasn’t here because she was passionate about teaching, but rather here for research. Still, she didn’t overlook her classes, but when tedious things that didn’t make much trouble got in the way, she just let it go.

“Shall we begin?”

*

The magician training center looked similar to the shooting range. It is a system that implents and fires magic in a straight line, and Sol Lim walks around and checks one person at a ti.

“Your movents are too slow. I think you are focusing too much on activating magic. You would have died 3 tis by now. You have to get rid of a perfectionist tendency in the shape of the activation.”

“Your precision is too low. It’s good to think that you should attack fast, but it will only matter if you can actually damage your target.”

“It’s best to use whatever suits you, but this form is too inefficient compared to its power. If you want to use it in real life, use an ordinary shape like that of an arrow.”

Being a professor was not easy.

Looking at over half of the students, Sol had this thogut.

It was unfortunate to lose ti doing these tedious tasks, but it was better than fighting as a hunter to earn money for research.

Being a professor, you see many types of students. There were many talented students, but most could not apply their potential to their fullest. Using all the ability was also another type of a skill in itself.

And after so much aningless feedback, there was one remaining student.

He had apparently changed his path after orientation. I was really not interested.

But after seeing his mana activation, I was moved.

Spherical fire magic.

The spherical form is the most popular form because it is the easiest to imagine, but the loss of mana is as significant. It’s not easy to keep mana compressed into a sphere, so a lot of mana is lost in the process.

But the sphere of this student was different.

An unbelievable cohesion. Most of the mana is concentrated in the very center of the sphere.

‘…..is that even possible?’

A first-year who was able to control mana so well. It was happening right in front of her eyes.

And on top of that, sothing was off. She had five years of experience working as a hunter.

She had t countless magicians before him, but this was a never seen application skill.

Usually, wizards set their own standards and manage their mana, but sohow this student wasn’t doing the sa…?

Bam! And he was able to hit the head of the target. His aim was perfect.

‘If I had to comnt, it would be the inefficiency in the total amount of mana, and insufficient proficiency.’

From just those aims, his breath was rapid. It ant that he lacked mana.

“What is your na?”

“Are you talking to ?”

I had thought that his side profile was handso, but up close he was extrely good looking.

“Yeah, the control is good, the wavelength is stable, and there are so things that are missing, but I still think that you are the best out of all of them.”

“Thank you, I am Hoyeon Lee of A class.”

Hoyeon Lee. I will rember it just in case.

On the attendance sheet, I marked a V next to his na.

I also added a small note saying ‘face is GOOD, too.’

“Hmm..but since we are still in class, if I were to give you any advice…”

*

Phew, classes are done for the day.

The theory class wasn’t too bad, but the battle class in the afternoon was definitely fun. The professor Lim taught well just as her acclaid reputation.

The first year classmates headed over to the dorms. My plan was to drop by the training center, ditate and study theory a bit.

ow~~

I heard cats in between buildings on the corner on the way to the dorm.

Because there were so many dorms, I couldn’t tell which one it was.

I was going to continue my way, but the ow sounded awkward.

“…ow?”

ow~

“…ow”

There was a high-level conversation going on in the alley.

I was wondering what kind of intellectual student was talking with a cat using cat sounds.

I tip-topped towards them and stuck my head in to peek.

ow~

“Yow~”

oww~

“Nya~~”

Oh, it was getting a little better.

I could only see the back of their head, but it was a small girl. Who was this?

★ Heroine Statistics

[Lucy]

– [ Affection : 2 ]

– [ Sexual Desire : 20 ]

– [ Hunger : 30 ]

– [ Tiredness : 70 ]

“Heh?”

Lucy? What was she doing here?

owwww!

“Hey, kitty! Where are you going?”

Oh shoot. I accidentally made noise from the sudden statistics, and the cat ran away after hearing .

“Ugh. You! Why did you make it run away?”

I don’t think she saw

yet, should I run?

No. I need to man up and apologize. That will be best.

“Why aren’t you answering? Heh? You…”

“Hey there. I am Hoyeon Lee from the sa class.”

“You are the rapist from the orientation!”

“No I’m not!”

“What do you an? Do you want to take it to the police?”

“Phew, I’m sorry. I really am. At the orientation, I fell asleep because I was too excited the night before, and in the training center I made a mistake because I was training till exhaustion.”

I almost bowed 90 degrees to apologize.

From my own experience, it was best to sincerely apologize in these types of situations.

“Hmm.”

“I’m sorry!”

I was a bit nervous. Lucy wouldn’t be the type to reject my apology, but if things were to go wrong, my life would beco difficult from here.

“Well, then. It wasn’t that big of a deal. It was also an ergency situation.”

“Thank you.”

Phew. I let out a sigh of relief inside and looked at Lucy after standing up straight.

“Still, I won’t take your apology.”

“Hmm?”

“Apologize again tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?”

“Yes. I will accept your apology tomorrow.”

Lucy left after leaving those words.

What the.

*

After sending off Lucy, who left so weird words, I headed towards the training center.

The place was filled, probably because it was still near the beginning of the sester. Usually, libraries and gyms are crowded early in the year. How long will these guys last?

Ring~

[Confird entrance of Hoyeon Lee from the A class.]

I visited the ditation room this ti.

There was nothing better than ditation to increase mana. I didn’t want to do it, but I still had to try, as the saying goes ‘For every drop of sweat you shed, you save a drop of blood.’

I sat comfortably in the middle of the ditation room.

I felt the mana stone emitting energy from the ceiling.

Shhhhp- Haa-

I took a deep breath and let out a slow breath.

When I focused, I felt the dispersed mana in the air. I had to draw in as much mana as I could nearby.

I had to hold the mana from the stone from escaping my body. This was no easy task, as shown in the original ga.

I could not lose focus. I had to draw in all of my attention and erase all other thoughts…

[Your mana went up 1 level.]

Hmm?

*

I ditated one hour after, but the mana did not increase any further.

I guess they will not let

off so easily.

Still, I could expect faster growth than most people. Usually, one had to ditate regularly for a whole month to see results, but I saw it on the first day.

Was this due to [Mana empathy]?

I returned to the dorm and opened up a book.

[Humanity After the First Gate and Dungeon]

Just from the book, it was going to be an imnsely boring book of 1500 pages.

There was every little detail, more like an archive over an informational book.

I had to ace the classes.

In the trashy ga ‘Sex Academy,’ there was a version of an ending where you can get expelled. The student was strong and had seduced the heroines, but he had bad grades.

This really made no sense.

Report cards in a sex ga?

Still, they said to enjoy it if you cannot avoid it. Even if I can’t enjoy it, the least I can do is try my best.

With the [mory Enhancent Skill], I could morize everything I wanted to by just looking at it once.

So, I chose this comprehensive book that covered every little detail that would suffice all other pieces of information. I will only add on references after this.

[It was 1xx years ago, when the first gate appeared on an island in the Philippines…]

Ah…I really don’t want to read this.
