The Academy’s Deceased Ate It All Chapter 51

For a while, it was a series of days that went smoothly without any major incidents.

In the advisor's class, I practiced dagger skills, and in the practical class, I gained experience in actual combat as a team.

And after regular classes, I spent ti with Choi Hyun-Woo and Han Soo-Young, eating or training.

I stopped by the alchemy club to learn basic alchemy, and the archery club to learn the basics of shooting a bow.

I also went to the library and searched for hidden items and skill books, but have yet to see any results.

I also did not forget to constantly absorb the water produced by Mandragora.

Thanks to this, I was able to store extra mana in my body separately, and I could feel that the mana amount had at least doubled from before I learned Electricity Storage.

… Of course, every ti I absorb water from the tank, he looks at as if he's looking at a criminal, but I've gotten used to it by now.

"Whoo."

I took a deep breath, rubbing my stiff shoulders.

The moderately noisy classroom was the sa as always, but lately, I noticed that the gazes of the other students around were gradually changing.

I didn't have to go far to find the reason for this.

It was because of Choi Hyun-Woo, Han Soo-Young, and Na Il-Jun.

After that day, Choi Hyun-Woo's attitude toward had changed strangely, and anyone could see it.

It was ambiguous to say sothing straight, but the attitude of the guy who treated as if I was older than him was burdenso at tis.

Han Soo-Young also started to be very kind to .

If I had to say she was kind, it was only about sharing snacks or sharing notes with each other from ti to ti.

Sotis she would co to my seat and complain about the guy I had screwed with that day or complain about why I joined the reading club if I didn't go to her more often.

It's needless to say, but Choi Hyeon-Woo and Han Soo-Young were the perfect fit for the term 'chicken flock at the crane'.

The two of them had everything: good looks, incomparable talent, and ability.

No matter how many students receive an S rank at Orhe Academy, it do not exceed 1% of a grade.

A simple calculation shows that there are at most thirty first-year students, and since the total number of first-year students is around that, there is roughly one student per class.

And they were the ones who got the S rank as if it was natural.

Perhaps because of that, I was in a position to attract attention in various ways.

It was even more so because I had been labeled an E rank first.

In a word, there weren't many eyes that looked at nicely.

I thought it would be more appropriate to view the opinion of the class as ‘What the hell is he doing, hanging out with those two without knowing the subject?’

Of course, there were tis when soone spoke to , but…… .

'Hey, Ji-Hyuk. You and Hyun-Woo are close, right? Can you give his number.......?'

‘If you don't mind, can you introduce to Han Soo-Young?’

'I heard that she's not dating anyone right now, but I don't want to ask her face to face..… please, ask her, okay?’

Most of them had this kind of purpose in mind.

Of course, the two of them refused on the pretext that they disliked it, but perhaps that's why more and more of them were swearing at in a pompous manner.

It was a story told to by Jin Ye-Seul, who started hanging out with so kids these days.

‘Honestly, I don’t know…… .'

To be honest, being a public enemy for sothing you did not do was not a pleasant thing to hear.

In fact, the most decisive cause of my reluctance was from none other than Na Il-Jun.

“…… .”

Unlike the other kids, his gang gathered next to him who was just sitting there dazed.

However, unlike the first ti, they didn't make loud noises or burst into laughter mixed with abusive language.

They just stood there quietly and depressed.

After returning from a mock dungeon class, Na Il-Jun has changed so much that anyone could see.

The problem was that whenever he made eye contact with , he would get terrified and run away as if his tail were on fire.

From the first day, he had an argunt with .

In the spar, I had him thoroughly at my rcy.

And perhaps because of the fact that I was at the sa scene during the mock dungeon class, which was the trigger that caused his ntal problem, the students in the class were almost certain that I had done sothing to him.

“Ti is up in ten minutes.”

A few students sighed deeply at the voice coming from the podium.

I looked down at the test paper with my chin on my hand.

It was a quiz, but everyone seed to be working hard as it was announced that it would be reflected in grades.

[Question 1. The dungeon 'Druid's Hunting Grounds' discovered in northern France unusually had multiple boss monsters, and the subjugation team at the ti, who could not foresee this, suffered a great deal of damage. The boss monsters that appeared here were Aretat and Haurbatat respectively. With a brief description of these two monsters, describe the typical characteristics of dungeons with multiple boss monsters, such as the 'Druid Hunting Grounds', and na at least three dungeons where multiple boss monsters have appeared.]

I have no idea what the hell this is about.

The dungeons there, the druid's hunting grounds and whatnot, was never even ntioned in the original story.

Or maybe I just don't rember.

Originally, I would not be able to solve any of the 10 questions on this test paper.

But I had my setting book.

There was also mana stored in Electricity Storage, so I didn't need to worry as there was no burden even if it was turned on continuously during the test.

I wrote down almost exactly what was in the setting book.

Occasionally, I omitted a few lines of description or wrote it in a slightly different aning, but I was able to solve the problem easily because I just copied it.

And I left so questions blank.

There were usually 2~3, but the reason was simple.

It was because it was too conspicuous to get everything right.

Anyway, the results of the written test were not very important, so I was going to roughly maintain the upper-middle rank.

"Stop! Everyone put down your writing utensils and collect them from the back! And make sure you write your na down if you haven't already!”

After collecting all the test papers, the professor did a brief check and then nodded his head.

He then walked out with a few words of advice: there would be another quiz, and the midterm would be an essay-based exam, so please study a little longer.

“Hey, why was it so hard?”

Choi Hyun-Woo, who ca to my side before I knew it, made a big fuss.

And Han Soo-Young, who followed him like it was natural, shook her head small as she looked at Choi Hyun-Woo.

"That's why I told you to study earlier. Anyway, did you look at the genealogy I gave you? Just by looking at that, you would have gotten half of it right.”

“Ah, hahaha…… .”

“Haaa.”

Seeing Choi Hyun-Woo smiling awkwardly, Han Soo-Young looked as if she had given up.

"What about you?"

"It was okay because I was thoroughly prepared, unlike soone."

"Oh, you're both so an. Really."

At my answer, Choi Hyun-Woo burst into laughter with a look as if he was hurt.

“Hey, Yoo Ji-Hyuk.”

anwhile, a student I had never seen before approached .

The boy I had never t before pointed toward the doorway and said.

“That senior wants to call you.”

"What?"

When I turned my head with those words, Lee Ye-Eun was looking this way with only her head sticking out from the outside.

I got up from my seat and approached her, telling the two that I would be going for a while.

"What's wrong?"

She gave an apologetic look at my question.

“I have sothing urgent to tell you. Could you give so ti?”

* * *

“…… .”

Han Soo-Young, who was looking at Yoo Ji-Hyuk, who was heading sowhere along Lee Ye-Eun, soon turned her head.

Just a few months ago, it was not uncomfortable to be alone with Choi Hyun-Woo, but now she felt sowhat empty.

And it seed that Choi Hyun-Woo felt the sa way.

"Uh?"

In the anti, she felt that Choi Hyun-Woo was looking at her while tilting his head slightly.

“Soo-Young, have you gotten your ears pierced?”

"Huh?"

In response to his question, Han Soo-Young gently pushed her hair back and showed it.

There were small earrings hanging from her ears.

A few days ago, when she got her ears pierced for the first ti, she hung on to the advice to start small.

“You said you wouldn't wear earrings for the rest of your life because you didn't want to get your ears pierced.”

"Yes."

Han Soo-Young muttered in a small voice.

“But when I tried it, it was okay."

In principle, all students at the academy are assigned the sa dormitory building.

Even though it followed standardized standards, the Academy's dormitory boasted better facilities than most hotels, so there were very few students who were dissatisfied with it.

And one of the very few dissatisfied students was Ahn Do-Hoon.

He almost remodeled the interior of his dormitory at his own expense so as not to break the rules.

It was a perfectly natural thing for him to do, not because of of vanity or pride, but simply because that was how he had been living since birth.

"What made you co all the way here without saying a word?"

Ahn Do-Hoon sat across from a person who ca to his dormitory room and opened his mouth.

People who saw him for the first ti might not know, but the visitor can tell that he was really happy now.

“Don't you have anything to say about how happy you are to see your uncle that you haven't seen in so long?”

A man who looked similar to Ahn Do-Hoon but looked more gentle muttered as if complaining.

"Can you at least offer so water?"

"Uncle, you haven't co here to talk nonsense like that, right?"

“Oh, brother. How the heck did you educate your child, how can he be such a jerk.”

He grumbled and opened his mouth as if nothing had happened.

“Why have I co? I've co here in advance to give Na Il-Jun or sothing so treatnt and for the guild invitation ceremony to be held in a few days.”

“Na Il-Jun… ? Oh, him.”

Ahn Do-Hoon nodded and looked at the man skeptically.

“But I think he got like that a few days ago? You haven't spoken in a while, so why have you suddenly co here today?"

“I wanted to see your surprised face.”

There were many reasons, but he had no reason to tell them, so he roughly looked around.

"You were and still are an impudent man. That's why my uncle can't make a single girlfriend at his age."

"Hey. It’s not that I can’t make it, it’s that I don’t.”

At the angry man's reply, Ahn Do-Hoon snorted as if it wasn't even funny.

The man was furious and his eyes trembled, and then he relaxed his face as if he was not sure what to do.

“Anyway, are you well prepared?"

"Prepared for what?"

“It’s going to be the guild invitation ceremony soon.”

The man, Ahn Joo-Hyuk, was Lee Myung-Joon's close friend and the head of Green Herb, one of the six guilds allied with him.

He was also the one who proudly listed his na as one of the Ten Strongest, despite the fact that he possessed healing arts that were not suitable for combat.

Therefore, even Ahn Do-Hoon, who behaves indifferently to everyone, followed him among his relatives along with his parents and grandfather.

“Have you decided who to fight with? Rather, are you training hard these days?”

Ahn Joo-Hyuk could easily sll the perfu from his nephew, Ahn Do-Hoon.

And he could easily notice the fact that Ahn Do-Hoon wasn't training much.

“I've already decided who I'm going to fight.”

Ahn Joo-Hyuk nodded his head slightly at Ahn Do-Hoon's confident attitude.

If you are that conceited, you will get hurt one day, but it was just a pity that he wouldn't listen no matter what he said.

However, Ahn Joo-hyuk, who was well aware of Ahn Do-Hoon's brutal personality, did not express anything.

It was because he already knew well that if he had been a guy who would follow other people's advice, he would have fixed him sooner.

“Who are you going to fight with? Just tell your uncle a little.”

"Well…… It's not really a secret."

Ahn Do-Hoon said so and rubbed his neck as if he was drowsy.

“The first one is Ivan Hunt. He's tied for first place, but I don't like the way he shoots his bow from a distance, especially his stiff attitude. I thought I should let him know that grades are completely useless."

In principle, rearguard positions like snipers do not engage in confrontation.

However, as long as it is a principle, he could participate as much as he wanted if he had the will to do so.

Ahn Do-Hoon never thought that he would reject his designation.

“And Choi Hyun-Woo. This guy and I faced off once before, but it was a draw because of ti. I have to tell him exactly who's on top."

“Hmm.”

Both of them were students who had been counted as S-ranked.

In fact, Ahn Soo-Hyuk thought it was natural as Ahn Doo-Hoon was also an S ranked.

“Finally…… .”

In Ahn Do-Hoon's head, the face of a male student who was unfazed even after being under his pressure that day and sneering scornfully ca to mind.

“Yoo Ji-Hyuk.”

Saying his na as if chewing it out, Ahn Do-Hoon showed a fishy smile.
