Episode 29
Gaon Academy’s emergency meeting.
Principal Jin Byeong-chul laughed heartily as he watched the staff gathered at the huge U-shaped table.
“haha! Everyone must have enjoyed the association’s strategy competition, right?”
Although the first place record was taken by Skyscraper Academy, a Chinese team. The 2nd and 4th places in the competition were Adela and Shin Yoo-seong, both Gaon Academy students.
“First-year students are raising the honor of the school with their wonderful performances.”
Seeing Jin Byeong-cheol in a good mood, Lin Xiao quickly flattered him to make up for the Jewel Island incident.
“Isn’t this all thanks to the principal’s excellent guidance!”
“No, our Yooseong and Adela students did a good job. What have I done hehehe!”
The atmosphere flows smoothly and harmoniously with the story of Yoosung Shin and Adela. Jin Byeong-cheol belatedly brought up the real problem that recruited the meeting.
“It’s a problem I didn’t even think of… Keuhm Adela absorbed the ice crystal.”
Thanks to that, Adela became stronger.
I didn’t even know that I could have developed a new skill by further developing the power of cold, which is the original characteristic of the ice crystal. However, the use of artifacts in anti-battles and trials is prohibited. However, it was impossible to exclude the power of the ice crystal that had already been absorbed from Adela only during the test.
“You broke the rules.”
Female professor wearing glasses.
Sohaejeong frowned. Even before she started her teaching life, she valued the principle of principle.
Lin Shao sneered at So Hae-jeong’s words.
“Why is this breaking the rules? The rules only say not to possess artifacts.”
“Even so, isn’t Adela receiving the power of the artifact? This is because the 10,000-year-old ice crystal has already been absorbed into the body. Am I wrong?”
Minhaejeong did not back down despite Lin Xiao’s words. Let’s not easily give a definite answer as if all the other professors are lost in thought. Jin Byung-cheol opened his mouth.
“For now, both of you calm down. It is true that there were many loopholes in the rules of the test. Let’s make an exception this time.”
So far, there has been no case of absorbing an artifact-class elixir as a student, even at Gaon Academy.
So Jin Byeong-cheol came up with a new method.
“but. It would be unbalanced if only Adela students were allowed artifacts.”
At Jin Byeong-cheol’s words, So Hae-jeong nodded slowly.
“you’re right. Class S, which Adela belongs to, is already considered the strongest class in the first year. However, it is unreasonable for only Adela, who belongs to class S, to use the power of the artifact.”
Minesweeper let’s speak like a rapid-fire gun without making a mistake in pronunciation. Jin Byung-cheol coughed.
“Kuhmm So… I’ve decided to allow Artifacts for this test.”
Let’s finish Jin Byeong-cheol’s shocking remarks. Lin Shao muttered with a confused look on his face, forgetting to score points.
“…ah allow artifacts?”
In the end, the professors who were listening spat out one word at a time.
“If that happens, the balance of the class will be…”
“Principal. Students without artifacts…”
“And if it was a class match… It would be difficult to control the number of people…”
Still, Jin Byung-cheol didn’t say the current plan without thinking.
“Oh, everyone, please listen. Doesn’t Class S fight against Class A in the class battle? By the way, who is in Class A?”
In Class A, she is ranked second in the grade level.
There was Kim Eun-ah, the granddaughter of the chairman of Shinsung Group.
“Ah, come to think of it, student Eun-ah also has artifacts…”
“I’m sure it’s not just one or two? I didn’t get it from the competition, I bought it with money.”
As the professors said, Kim Eun-ah had numerous artifacts that she received as a gift from the president. It didn’t matter if I picked one of them and put it on the exam.
“Then, the other half…”
Jin Byeong-cheol showed an uncomfortable expression at the question of Minesweeper.
“Uh-huh, can we make an exception every half of the rules? The other half seems to have almost one of them. Let’s proceed like this.”
At that time, a professor looked at Jin Byeong-cheol and carefully spoke out.
“By the way, Headmaster. Come to think of it, class F… don’t they have two artifacts now?”
There was no way Jin Byeong-cheol was unaware that Shin Yoo-seong and Sumire had obtained the artifact. However, Jin Byeong-cheol was on the side of the perfect Shin Yoo-seong.
‘You’re quick to notice. But it’s all for our Yooseong’s sake.’
There was a rule that outside activities were prohibited for the bottom half of the competition.
‘Isn’t it a big deal if Yooseong can’t go to the selection due to school rules?’
Jin Byeong-cheol answered with a casual smile despite the professor’s point.
“Well, the fact that there are two Artifacts is because Class F showed great performance in their extracurricular activities… Since the number of Artifacts is allowed, you can’t point out the number, can’t you?”
Let Jin Byeong-cheol, the principal, say that. The professor could no longer make class F an issue.
“now. Then let’s wrap up the meeting.”
Jin Byeong-cheol, the principal, claimed to be Shin Yoo-seong’s assistant.

Classroom after school.
Left alone, Sumire muttered in a low voice as she looked at the ring of the undead.
“…the ring that Mr. Shin Yuseong gave me.”
The artifact Ring of the Undead.
The ring of the undead belonged to Sumire, who participated in the attack, but it was also a gift from Shin Yoo-seong, the party leader. When Sumire saw the ring, she remembered the image of Yuseong Shin who saved her from Richie.
[…Forcing the boss holding the artifact to this point.]
Sumire didn’t ruin the strategy and didn’t disappoint the people who trusted him. It greatly relieved her.
[…As expected, it was good to have you participate in the raid.]
Sumire, who recalled Shin Yoo-sung’s words, smiled as if she couldn’t stand it.
“…uhhhh.”
It was a laugh that would have made Lee Si-woo feel bad. Sumire’s delusion did not end there. Sumire was in a happy delusion, fiddling with the ring on her ring finger.
‘Ring…’
Even in Japan, giving a ring as a gift was no different from a proposal.
‘Shin Yoo-seong to me…’
The classroom door opened, but Sumire’s face, not realizing it, turned red with delusions spreading.
‘I’m still busy… Huh?’
On the other hand, Rania, who came to pick up the things she had left in the classroom, stopped when she saw Sumire’s back.
‘…was there someone?’
However, Sumire’s condition was not very serious.
“Hehehehehehehehehehe…”
Sumire laughs badly like a witch against the background of the sunset spreading through the window. In addition, the ring that reacted to Sumire’s mana emitted a black aura.
‘What is that scary!’
Rhenia, who was in tears, couldn’t even pack her things and walked backwards and left the classroom.
‘I’ll take care of everything next time!’
It was Sumire who unintentionally frightened Renny.

Seven Number’s luxurious dormitory.
Returning to the dormitory, Shin Yoo-seong confirmed the information of the Black Dragon Po in his pocket through a hologram.
‘I can see things without taking them out of my pocket.’
The pockets worn by hunters on their wrists were useful because they contained various functions.
In particular, after the book ‘Records of the Tower’ was discovered in the dungeon, information on almost all artifacts was recorded in pockets.
Thanks to this, Yooseong Shin was able to check the neatly organized information of the Black Dragon Po.
‘Black Dragon Hoecheon Black Dragon Slash.’
The two skills were perfectly filling the missing parts of the fighter. Black Dragon Hoecheon was able to block long-range attacks through a shield, and Black Dragon’s Noble Strike was able to launch long-range attacks by ejecting mana from long distances.
‘Both are essential skills for me.’
Artifacts could be used at will, not only in opposition matches where the rules suddenly changed, but also in selection matches to select the national team.
Shin Yoo-seong, who already possessed great skills, was able to flap his wings with the power of an artifact. However, winning the preliminary round means representing the entire Korean academy. Carelessness was absolutely forbidden.
‘Let’s not be proud of the power of the artifact and do our best.’
Jiying.
Finally, Amy’s long-awaited text message. Yoosung Shin picked up his phone and checked the message.
[Amy♥: This is a neatly organized file with the rules of opposition!]
There was an attached file attached to the text message Amy sent.
‘As expected, work is quick.’
I didn’t know because she usually smiled, but Amy did a better job than she looked. As soon as I heard the test items for Class F and Class D, where Shin Yoo-seong is located. He received a file with the rules from his senior and sent it to Shin Yoo-seong.
[Amy♥: Let’s break the opposition for the tryouts! Pasha! (๑•̀ㅁ•́๑)/ ]
Yoosung Shin laughed a little at Amy’s lively message. But that’s for a while. Shin Yoo-seong checked the file.
[Test Item: Hunter VS Villain]
[Hunter Goal: Subdue Villain]
[Villain Goal: Given plan success]
Hunter VS Villain.
It was the name of the event for this counter-resistance test. Important information about the test was written in detail at the bottom of the file.
Most of them were the contents of the test year and the plans given to the villains.
‘…It’s like this. The F class I was in was a hunter role.’
The plans written in the file were similar to the crimes the villains actually committed.
‘Theft of artifacts, public facility terrorism, and even kidnapping of celebrities… It’s diverse.’
There were many Hunters who had the power of outstanding characteristics but became villains by participating in crime. Those who were singled out as villains for committing crimes became the common enemy of all nations under a wanted order.
This anti-war test was a training to subdue such villains or to increase understanding of crime by being in the villain’s position.
Of course, there was another real reason why Amy sent the file.
‘Special scoring items.’
It is an open fact, but there were individual scores for students who performed outstandingly in the team competition.
[Rescue a kidnapped citizen – 3 points]
[Theft of stolen artifacts – 3 points]
[Suppress the leader of the villain team – 3 points]
[…]
Shin Yoo-seong and Joo Woo-wook – All the items of the subsequent test were inscribed in his eyes.
Although it was enough for me to win only D class for the selection match. There was no word “moderate” to Shin Yoosung.
Unfortunately for Class D, Yuseong Shin’s goal was to lead Class F to a complete victory.
