[Things to believe (3)]
The secondary academy was an educational institution that nurtured the knowledge as a player, not a player.
The entrance examination for secondary academies was not focused on identifying the applicant’s qualifications, but rather on whether the candidate had the ability to become a player.
It was also nonsensical to give a test to show the qualities of a player to children who do not even know what their own qualities are.
At the time of entering the secondary academy, it was not common for people who knew how to handle mana systematically, and it was common to transfer to a general middle school while attending the secondary academy.
Therefore, the probability that test takers fail the secondary academy entrance exam was not very high.
As Eunha said, it’s not as difficult as I thought.
Maybe that’s why Eun-ah didn’t think the secondary academy’s entrance exam was difficult.
Rather, it was too easy. Since he had learned mana control since he was a child, and now he was receiving private lessons from Seoyoung, he did not feel that the test was difficult.
Shin Seo-young must have expected her to feel that way.
Eun-a remembered an assignment Shin Seo-young had told her the day before.
‘Do not use mana during the test.
I can’t help it if I really need mana, but I don’t want to use mana as much as possible.’
‘why? Don’t you have to be good at mana to be a player?’
‘Ah, you’re right. If you’re an unknown player, you should be able to handle mana properly. The difference between a normal player and a player is how they deal with mana.’
‘Then why use mana…’
‘But Eun-ah, you rely too much on mana.’
Until she heard that from Seo-yeong, Eun-ah hadn’t thought that she was relying on mana control.
But Seoyoung was right.
Come to think of it, she used to use mana from time to time.
Especially in an emergency situation, the tendency to rely on mana was strong. It wasn’t the first time or two that he poured mana recklessly.
It was also unavoidable.
Eun-a grew up hearing that she had a lot more mana in her body than her peers
.
She, too, did not feel tired whenever she used magic, so she subconsciously believed in the mana in her body.
‘A player who knows the limit of mana in the body will not consume mana indiscriminately.
But Eun-ah, aren’t you and I abnormally different in mana in our bodies than others?
As a player, you have to assume that you will find yourself in a disadvantageous situation and be able to deal with it in advance.’
So, Eun-ah took the test without using mana. Even if he didn’t use mana, it wasn’t difficult to run in the lead with the stamina he had trained since childhood.
However, he did not know that there would be someone who could run without using mana like himself.
Runs really well!
Besides, faster than yourself.
Eun-ah was in awe.
In the end, she couldn’t beat Ryu Yeon-hwa and had to complete the track.
you run really well! I didn’t know you could run without using mana like me!
Eun-ah felt close to Yeon-hwa. I approached Yeon-hwa who was drinking water from the water purifier and started talking to her.
Yeonhwa averted her gaze. Without saying a word, he just nodded and passed her.
Do you hide your face a lot?
Eun-ah looked back at her passing by and tilted her head.
Strangely, I didn’t feel any displeasure at being ignored.
Rather, I just wanted to talk more.
☆
After the exam at the 2nd Training Center, I quenched my hunger with snacks provided by the Secondary Academy.
The children, who only ran early in the morning, could not even eat snacks properly. It seemed that he was not feeling well, perhaps because he used mana he was not used to. There were also children who spent time sitting on the floor or lying down to sleep together.
This is no big deal.
There’s one thing Heeji doesn’t feel good about.
It was because he misallocated the pace when consuming mana and consumed a significant amount of the rest of the run.
Moreover, when she saw Yeon-hwa and Eun-ah running in the lead, she became impatient and made several mistakes.
Mmm delicious!
Conversely, Eun-ah received another snack. The bread, whose surface was hardened with sugar, quickly disappeared in the mouth.
After eating snacks, we moved to a place where there were not many children.
I could hear Hee-ji talking with the children, but I didn’t show interest and meditated to adjust the mana in my body.
Eun-ha stored mana in her body whenever she had time, but it was enough for her to adjust the mana in her body.
Looking sideways at the corner of the training hall, Yeon-hwa was also meditating with her eyes closed.
Group A students for the morning class are waiting at the 3rd Training Center!
break time is over
The test takers got up from their seats and moved to the 3rd training center under the guidance of the supervisor.
The supervisor explained the last test in front of the door to the third training hall.
Applicants must escape the labyrinth in the third training hall.
The structure of the maze changes at regular intervals, and candidates are randomly assigned starting positions from the entrance.
Drinks and refreshments are prepared by assistant supervisors at certain points in the maze, so it doesn’t matter if you take a proper break.
If something goes wrong, please tell the Assistant Superintendent.
Candidates may or may not cooperate with each other. Depending on your needs, you can use weapons or use mana.
However, all acts equivalent to murder are prohibited. In the event of such an occurrence, regardless of the reason, the applicant may be rejected and severe punishment may be imposed under the name of the Korea Mana Management Organization.
The maze changes at regular intervals.
In addition, you have to find the exit from each randomly placed location.
It was just that the test takers were anxious.
they looked at each other. Each of the children who became friends at the exam center or the children from the same elementary school secretly gathered together and whispered to each other to cooperate.
I knew it would be like this.
Heeji smiled inwardly.
The test at the 2nd training center was different from her expectations, but the test at the 3rd training center was not going to be like that.
Beforehand, she heard from her older sister, who is currently attending a secondary academy, that the exam at the third training center would be the most difficult.
He also advised that in order to pass the test, you need to be able to read the flow of mana, and that it is good to make candidates with a good sense of mana on the same side.
I’m glad I’m close with the kids.
This was the reason Hee-ji approached the children in a friendly way and talked to them even a little.
He was looking for children who would help him pass this test.
Thanks to this, I was able to offer cooperation to the children I had been paying attention to before entering the 3rd Training Center.
Eun-ah, I have to seduce him too.
Even if I don’t like it a little, I have the ability. It seems to be easy to handle.
Eun-ah, what are you going to do? Won’t you cooperate with us?
Heeji had been eyeing Eun-ah since the first time he saw her.
Even in the elementary school she attended, there was no other child as pretty as Eun-ah.
His eye smile was also charming.
He was an eye-opening child.
Not only her, but each of the test takers glanced at Eun-ah.
Besides, she was not only beautiful, but also talented. Everyone had no choice but to acknowledge the results shown in the second training ground.
It was fortunate that I hit the ball early.
Heeji burst into laughter when she heard the children clicking their tongues when they missed the time to approach her.
Um… yes! But don’t they all scatter when they enter the exam hall?
If we meet in the maze, let’s cooperate. After entering the test center, everyone will work hard to get good grades, so we promise to compete with each other in good faith. right guys? That’s right. See you at the test site.
let’s do well
The children who promised to cooperate with Heeji gathered their voices.
yes i will Let’s meet at the test site.
Eun-ah nodded her head without worrying about anything else.
Then, should I ask Yeonhwa?
Eun-ah became interested in Yeon-hwa, who had kept her mouth shut throughout the exam.
It seemed to her that the test to escape the maze would require the cooperation of the test takers.
That’s why I was worried about Yeonhwa, who doesn’t want to hang out with the kids.
Eun-ah wanted to enter a secondary academy with her eye-catching beauty and the skills she showed at the second training center.
Yeonhwa, would you like to join me?
So, I spoke to Yeon-hwa, who was leaning against the wall and watching the entrance of the exam hall.
It is only natural that the eyes of the test takers were focused on the two.
All of them were paying attention to the two who showed amazing skills in the second training ground.
I’m done.
Yeon-hwa turned away from Eun-ah’s outstretched hand.
okay? can you do it alone? I can do it alone.
Eun-ah wasn’t one to be discouraged or offended by her rejection.
However, he was sincerely worried about Yeon-hwa, who would take the exam alone.
oh my, what’s up with him I’m going to sell it.
Meanwhile, the test takers who were watching the two of them secretly ridiculed them.
Neither of them wanted the two of them to hold hands.
In my heart, I was jealous of the two.
So, there were some children who thought they were suing Eun-ah, who was rejected by Yeon-hwa.
Of course, the negative gaze toward Yeon-hwa was not missing.
Do you pretend to be proud of yourself?
Why are you campaigning so much?
what is ji
In particular, the children who promised to cooperate with Eun-ah stared at Yeon-hwa at the end of the hallway and talked.
It was a whisper that could be heard all the way to the end of the hallway.
Yeon-hwa must have heard the sound, but showed no reaction. I just closed my eyes and waited for the test to begin.
Are you okay? he really does too much
You probably don’t have any friends at school.
Heeji and other children comforted Eunah.
Of course, Eun-ah did not listen to the children’s comforting words.
Perhaps in the past, she was aware of the situation in which test takers were holding each other in check.
The fact that there is no sincerity in the words that comfort oneself.
That’s why I became more interested in Yeonhwa.
Yeonhwa who shows her unadorned appearance as it is.
It was like looking at a clear, clean crystal.
Weirdly attracted.
And she knew very well what this attraction was.
I think I can get along with Yeonhwa.
Every time I made a close friend, it was a sudden attraction.
And after a while, the final test began.
From now on, I will enter the third training hall!”
Eun-a stepped into a space full of darkness.

There are so many applicants this year.
It’s a problem even if it’s a lot From next year, we need to increase the number of supervisors and secure more exam halls.
The general supervisor sighed.
The average competition rate for admission to secondary academies was 3:1, and the competition rate for the entrance exam was 1.5:1, excluding students with poor life evaluations at the document stage.
However, this year, even for applicants, the competition rate for the entrance exam was reduced to 10:1, and after reducing it, it reached 3:1.
There are 300 students who will be admitted next year, but about 900 applicants are taking the entrance exam.
Even if the test takers were divided into morning and afternoon classes, and each class was divided into ABC groups, it was difficult to handle the test takers.
Although it is still a morning test.
Supervisors were tired from watching the test takers from early morning.
As much as that, the skills of the candidates are also respected. Still, this is not it.
That’s it.
Anyone out here for half an afternoon?
The general supervisor asked the supervisors who were resting in the monitoring room.
Those who raised their hands were already exhausted. Some of them were rubbing their eyes to soothe their fatigue.
I guess I should ask for a bonus.
The general supervisor fully understood their feelings. He, too, had to sigh as he had to supervise the exam in the afternoon.
As soon as the exam was over, I was thinking of suggesting an additional allowance to the secondary academy.
The Player Academy was a free educational institution, but it did not charge an application fee.
There were a lot of applicants this year, so they must have filled their stomachs a lot.
morning class. Call out some of the guys who stood out so far.
In Group C of the morning class, No. 25 Mo Min-seok, No. 63 Choi Hyeon-jeong, No. 89 Park Hyo-seok and No. 103 Han Jae-hee are outstanding.
In Group B in the morning class, No. 8 Jin-Min Kang, No. 26 Han Jin-Hyeok, No. 67 Jeong Yeon-Im, No. 100 Han Chang-Jin, No. 115 Lee Da-Seon have outstanding qualities as players.
In Group A of the morning class, No Eun-ah, No. 39, and Ryu Yeon-hwa, No. 40, are the most unique among the test takers.
Group A?
The general overseer, leaning back in a leather chair as if burying himself, stroked his chin.
He also remembered the performance of the two people in Group A in the morning class.
Morning Class Group A. What are you doing? The test is currently underway at the 3rd Training Center.
Oh, is that the test?
The general supervisor couldn’t hide his interest when he recalled the contents of the test in the third training hall.
The test conducted in the 3rd training hall is a mana detection test.
It was the most important test among the entrance exams this year.
Return all remaining monitors to group A in the morning.
The Mana Sensing Test required how talented the candidate was in mana sensing and how to cope with the changing maze at regular intervals.
In the labyrinth, the structure of which changes at regular intervals, it was impossible to escape without using mana detection.
Don’t be obsessed with what you see.
As a player, you had to be able to perceive the invisible.
Of course, in the entrance exam, the ability to detect the applicants was not expected to read the flow of mana in detail.
So, the maze was structured so that if you could detect mana, you could easily escape.
Easy to say. But can the children who took the invisible for granted really focus only on the invisible?
In order to read the flow of mana, you had to detect mana throughout the test.
This is because the structure of the maze changes every time a certain amount of time passes, and there are countless forks in the maze.
And one more factor that causes the confusion of test takers.
no one should trust
Assistant supervisors placed at certain points will calm the vigilance of those who are tired of detecting mana and inform them of the wrong path subtly.
Can test takers really doubt whether the way the assistant supervisor tells them is the wrong way?
If you know how to see mana, the answer will be clear.
However, they were not players, but applicants to become players.
Again, how far can they believe that they see things they couldn’t see?
In the end, two things were needed to pass this test.
One is to capture invisible mana.
Finally, be clear about what to believe.
If you really want to be a player, you have to be clear about what to believe.
No one should believe anything unless it is clear what to believe.
The only thing you can trust in any situation is yourself.
In the player’s world, life and death have always been at hand.
The only one who could take responsibility for it was always himself.
what about those kids
The general supervisor was curious about the progress of the two who showed unrivaled skills among the applicants who will be admitted next year.
Number 40 Ryu Yeon-hwa moves forward without hesitation.
And number 39 No Eun-ah… uh…
All the supervisors hardened their faces.
Several supervisors vomited regretful feelings.
Too bad.
Even the general manager couldn’t help but feel sorry.
The passing of number 39 No Eun-ah and number 40 Ryu Yeon-hwa was no different from a fait accompli.
However, number 39 No Eun-ah would not be able to enter the school with excellent grades.
I can’t get in on time.
Number 39 No Eun-ah.
She was listening to the assistant supervisor’s instructions.
