[Chapter 036]
[Things to believe (2)]
Secondary School Academy 1st training center in Seoul.
The training ground, which is usually used by secondary academy students to train themselves, was used by children who had just finished graduating from elementary school on this day.
Wow, is this all a queue?
Eun-ah could not keep her mouth shut when she saw the children lined up around the inner wall of the training center.
The secondary academy entrance examination was divided into morning and afternoon classes. Each class was divided into ABC groups and the test was conducted alternately.
However, at the training ground, people of this size were waiting to be tested.
I heard what the teacher said earlier, but this year the number of applicants is the highest ever.
It’s not really a joke. Isn’t it all over before the afternoon class exams start?
Eun-ah listened attentively to what the children in line in front of her were saying.
She, too, was thinking that the exam might not be finished on time.
It was nothing but rain.
As soon as the test started, the line started to fall out quickly.
Fortunately, it will be over in time.
It’s just mana testing.
huh? Oh, I see.
Eun-ah nodded her head at the words of the girl who brought up the story that she had just heard from the supervisor.
hi. My name is Heeji Choi.
nice to meet you. I’m Noah
The girl, who introduced herself as Heeji, would tell the children nearby what she knew from the moment she stood in line. In that way, I was building friendships with the children.
On the other hand, Eun-ah was waiting for the line to fall until she spoke to her.
Normally, she would also talk to the children, but when she realized that they were nervous, she didn’t bother to approach them.
On the other hand, when Heeji started talking to him, he was glad that he was a little bored.
Eunah, which elementary school did you come from? I am at Doan Elementary School. heeji are you? I graduated from Jonggak Elementary School. It is the closest elementary school from Cocoon, located in Jongmyo Shrine.
huh? yeah that’s right
Eun-ah skipped over elementary school, which Hee-ji explained while raising her nose.
It was because among her friends, there were children who were proud to attend Doan Elementary School.
He’s a confident kid.
Eun-ah understood Hee-ji’s personality by the fact that she was friendly with children, the fact that she was proud of the elementary school she came from, and the fact that she said that she handled Mana the best in school.
And she found it difficult to deal with an overconfident child.
It was like that even now.
As Hee-ji only talked about herself or what she knew, Eun-ah began to match the rhythm.
Eun-ah, do you know how this test is conducted?
the story doesn’t go
Heeji wrinkled her forehead for a moment when she saw Eunah just playing the rhythm.
Inwardly, she lowered her evaluation of Eun-ah by one notch and brought up a new topic.
huh. You’re checking the mana in your body, right? I know it’s over when you touch the crystal ball like you did in elementary school before.
My older sister is attending a secondary academy. My older sister says that the mana test in the body is also included in the entrance grade. really?
Wasn’t it just a test?
The children who had been quietly listening to the story intervened.
Heeji nodded triumphantly and explained the story of the body mana test.
Of course, it was something Eun-ah knew from the beginning.
This was because Shin Seo-young had informed them in advance that those who support the Player Academy must check their body mana.
And even the fact that the number measured in the body mana test is relatively reflected and added to the entrance grade.
The supervisor brought up the story that there would be no deduction for those with less mana in the body, but he did not mention that there would be no disadvantage.
The player’s world was a talent-oriented world.
The Player Academy says that there are no conditions required to become a player on the surface, but it secretly wants to attract players with a lot of mana in its body.
It was something I couldn’t complain about.
The act of implicitly giving disadvantages while saying that there is no disadvantage on the outside was prevalent throughout society.
It was better to have a publicly known secret than a secret never known.
Perhaps that’s why there were a significant number of test takers who knew an open secret.
Then, heeji, did you learn how to handle mana from unnie?
right what
Meanwhile, the children surround Heeji and talk about the exam she mentions and that her older sister is attending the Player Academy.
Then, Hee-ji asked Eun-ah, who was waiting for the rope to fall.
Eunah are you?
huh? Eunah, who did you learn mana control from? Or did you learn it in your elementary school class like the other kids? Um…
I have to say this.
Eun-ah was lost in thought as she looked at Hee-ji, asking her to answer quickly.
If I told my younger brother that I had learned how to handle mana, no one would believe me.
However, if I told you that I learned from Shin Seo-yeong, who is known as the Twelve Seat, I didn’t think I could handle it today.
That’s all I learned in my elementary school class.
That’s why I jumped on the bandwagon of children who say that everything they learned in elementary school is everything.
Heeji replied, “Yes,” and then spoke to another child.
After that, Heeji never talked to Eunah.
Eun-ah did not get involved in the children’s conversation anymore and waited for her turn to come.
Now it’s my turn.
Soon it was Heeji’s turn. She walked over with a confident face and put her hand on the crystal ball installed in the center of the training room.
The crystal ball used in the secondary academy was larger than the crystal ball used in the elementary school.
It meant that he could measure mana in his body more precisely.
When Heeji touched the crystal ball, half of the crystal ball emitted a faint light.
At the same time, her face also took on a pleasing glow.
…Not bad.”
After checking the mana in her body, the supervisor gave her a few good wishes.
The smile on her face grew wider.
See you guys in the next test.
Heeji waved to the children she had been talking with before and left the training ground.
After her, the children put their hands on the orbs, but most of them had mana above average.
Eventually, it was Eun-ah’s turn.
Eunah Noh.
yes.
After her name was called, Eun-ah stood in front of a huge crystal ball.
whoop whoop.
I took a deep breath.
When I was in the first year of elementary school, the crystal ball broke without measuring the mana inside.
So she consumed a significant amount of mana in her body before entering the training ground.
It was because Eunha and Seoyoung were careful not to make things that would attract attention with the mana in their bodies from the time they were not even enrolled.
She, too, was worried that something like that would happen.
So please-
-It’s quite a bit more than average. It’s okay. Go to the second training ground next.
The crystal ball was a little more than half of what Heeji filled.
With a sigh of relief inside, Eun-ah greeted the supervisor and came down to the second training ground.
In the second training ground, obstacles were installed on the elliptical track.
In addition to the obstacles, Eun-ah was able to find magic unfolding on the track.
Eunah, it’s here.
While reading the spell concealed under the track, she turned her head when she heard the children calling.
The children who finished the mana test before her were gathered in a corner.
Heeji was also mingled with the children, exchanging stories about body mana tests.
Just in time, the supervisor explained the exam at the 2nd Training Center.
The second test was a fitness test. It was a test in which 10 students with the corresponding numbers attached to their backs started out and took one lap around the track every 10 minutes.
The test score was the story of relatively distributing scores based on absolute evaluation according to the time spent completing one lap.
Students could use mana or no mana during the test, and they could finish the test by completing one lap in any way.
I’m not confident in running.
I need to adjust the pace of mana consumption well.
Heeji, what are you going to do?
I found Hee-ji, who was talking as if the children knew well about the test.
Heeji, who made a sound of excitement, looked around the track and opened her mouth so that only the children nearby could hear it.
Actually, I went to a track and field event in elementary school and did that.
Then heeji, it’s nothing to you? I can’t be careless though. Well, although my sister taught me how to increase speed with mana.
Can’t you tell me too?
Heeji fully enjoyed the envious eyes of the children.
She was confident that she would finish the exam at the second training center with excellent grades, taking advantage of her experience of participating in track and field competitions.
You don’t have to use mana.
On the other hand, Eun-ah was looking around the magic that was deployed on the track.
Then, like himself, he found a girl who was closely examining the training ground.
Wow pretty!
It was a tall, slender girl. Pure white skin without any blemishes, calm eyes like the calm surface of the water, and pale pink lips added an adult atmosphere that did not match his age.
Most of all, her hair was sky blue.
It was a color that went well with the atmosphere, like looking at a green flower.
She turned her head away as if she felt her gaze as she was tying back her long hair after untying the rubber band.
Our eyes met.
Eunah shook her hand secretly from the others.
The girl looked around to see if Eun-ah had greeted someone else.
Then he seemed to notice that no one was around.
The girl gently lowered her head and returned to her original position. I started stretching to try to warm up without hanging out with the other kids.
Eun-ah also moved her body lightly.
…No. 38 Choi Hee-ji. Number 39 No Eun-ah. Until number 40 Ryu Yeon-hwa.
Suddenly, the supervisor called.
Eun-a, who relaxed moderately, moved to the designated track.
It was a pleasant coincidence.
Right next to me was the kid I thought was pretty looking out at the track.
I met her eyes again.
Is your name Yeonhwa? My name is No Eun-ah.
Eun-ah was happy and held out her hand.
The child called Yeonhwa looked at her outstretched hand with a calm gaze, nodded once, and then tilted her head back.
i want to be friendly
It was Eun-ah who wanted to talk to her when she saw a pretty or cute child.
It was sad inside that Yeon-hwa treated her with a cold attitude.
I also couldn’t help it.
Because this is a test where some people fall and others stick.
Candidates gathered at the training center were friendly with each other while maintaining a reasonable distance.
okay. What can you do if you enter school and become friends?
infinite affirmation.
Eun-ah promised to become friends with Yeon-hwa, who had long eyelashes and fair skin like a doll.
Meanwhile, Heeji, who was in a crowding spurt stance, snorted inwardly.
There was no one in my school who could follow me.
I’m sorry for you guys, but I need to be your maid of honor for a while.
The second test was also a relative evaluation.
She was thinking of getting the highest score by overwhelming the kids in the same line.
☆
There are a lot of good kids this year.
The general supervisor monitored the children while drinking coffee from a mug.
In addition, the instructors of the secondary academy and the supervisors who were taking a break were watching the training room video.
It’s really a harvest this year. It will be worth teaching next year.
The mana in the children’s bodies is also at a level that exceeds last year’s test.
Each of the supervisors shared stories about the students who applied for secondary academy this year.
They also mentioned the candidates they were eyeing each other.
The most talked about test taker was a girl with light blue hair reminiscent of green hydrangeas.
Do you think this is Ryu Yeon-hwa? yes. The mana level in the body was also the best among the applicants.
There will be no doubt about your skills. No matter what anyone says, he was recognized as < The Seed > even before entering the secondary academy.
The supervisors nodded their heads in unison.
No one expected that Ryu Yeon-hwa would fail the entrance exam here.
So the supervisors pitied the children who had to run alongside her.
The entrance exam for secondary academies was a relative evaluation based on an absolute evaluation.
So even if Ryu Yeon-hwa finished the second test with the best grade, if her record was similar to hers, she could get the same score as hers.
That’s not going to happen, though.
Supervisors had no doubt that Ryu Yeon-hwa would get the highest score by herself, beating the children by an overwhelming margin.
Children who lag behind her will receive several lower scores according to absolute evaluation, and applicants with similar records will receive different scores according to relative evaluation.
I thought so.
…What am I looking at?
The supervisors were amazed at what was happening on the other side of the monitor.
As soon as the test started, Ryu Yeon-hwa ran away from the children and ran on the track. Jumping over obstacles with feather-light movements, and avoiding the magic traps set up as if they had predicted it, as if nothing happened.
So far it was as expected.
All cameras in training ground 2. Give it to No. 40 Ryu Yeon-hwa and No. 39.
The general manager gave the order.
Soon, the face of Ryu Yeon-hwa, who was in the lead, and girl number 39, who was chasing her by a very narrow margin, appeared on all the monitors.
…What’s his name at number 39?
My name is Noah Eun-ah.
okay? What’s special about it? Is he also < The Sid >? no. That doesn’t seem to be the case.
But is it like that?
The general supervisor couldn’t believe Noh Eun-ah’s ability to pursue Ryu Yeon-hwa.
As Ryu Yeon-hwa did, she showed off aerial acrobatics and avoided obstacles while at the same time letting go of all the magic that was activated with a time difference.
The test conducted at the second training center was a test to see the applicant’s physical ability, reflexes, instant judgment, and mana utilization ability.
So, the magic installed in the training hall was not a spell that was activated in a set order. It was a trap that was triggered with a time difference or when the corresponding conditions were met.
Nevertheless, Eunah Noh, number 39, was closely following Ryu Yeon-hwa with a movement that was difficult to see as an elementary school student.
Of course, Ryu Yeon-hwa was also a difficult move to see as an elementary school student.
Still, isn’t there a difference between elementary school students who are recognized as < The Seed > and ordinary elementary school students?
…there was one more rookie.
Now, both of them were dodging even magic belonging to advanced technology.
What was even more surprising was that he was moving forward even when the magic was activated, instead of slowing down for a moment to avoid the magic.
It was an acrobatics that even ordinary players could not easily perform.
His qualities as a player were excellent.
The supervisors even leaned into the monitors to see the two of them in detail.
Ha, next year will be very rewarding to teach? To say that < The Seed > has up-and-comers and finally a rookie. Maybe next year, the next Twelve will be born.
It really could be.
The supervisors smiled contentedly when they saw the two running at nearly equal speeds.
Before long, the faces of the supervisors hardened when they heard the voice of the assistant supervisor who was manipulating the monitor.
But it seems that neither of them use mana at all?
It seems that he is taking the test with only his pure physical ability.
does that make sense?
The examiners looked at each other with their eyes wide open.
No one answered their questions.
