chapter 15
15 – New Talent – 1
I got out of the remote area and entered the middle of the academy.
Because Kim Soo-hyun is a student, he has to take lectures, and I am a dispatched civil servant, so I have to return to work.
“Okay then. Suhyeon. here… .”
Look around, look around—
But when we got to the place where people were coming and going, Kim Soo-hyun became a little strange.
Whenever students pass by, they look around with anxious eyes.
Even when he senses the approach, he clenches his fists with tension.
I still remember Kim Soo-hyun’s appearance when he came to visit me in the hospital.
We used to laugh and talk about what was so good.
However, it seemed that it was only visible in front of me.

Just looking at her now makes me feel sorry for her.
“Soohyun.”
Still looking around.
Black cat. No, it feels like seeing a black meerkat.
“Are you Suhyun?”
“Yes Yes. Judge.”
“what’s the matter. Is there anything wrong with you?”
Is it because I still remember the moment I almost got kidnapped by Elder?
There is no possibility. In fact, it is said that some students suffer from PTSD.
“Oh, no. it’s okay Judge.”
It’s a lie. It all shows.
He fidgeted with his hands as if he was nervous, and even his eyes full of anxiety.
Even people who don’t notice will know that it’s a lie.
“There will be no villains coming in. Because the alert has risen since the last raid.”
“Yes. I know. I guess I’m lucky.”
Fortunately, there is no change whatsoever.
Looking at it, it seems like a different kind of fear of the Elder.
I looked at the same place where Kim Soo-hyun’s gaze was heading.
He doesn’t respond to people far away, but gets nervous when that person comes closer.
That’s a pretty strange reaction. It’s like I don’t want you to come close to me… .
‘ah.’
seemed to know Why is Kim Soo-hyun reacting like this?
The hero of the past, ‘Kang Min-seong’. And the best family in the weaponry family that he has achieved.
Kim Soo-hyun is the granddaughter of Kang Min-sung. At the same time, you are a member of that family.
It’s just that I didn’t know, other students would know about her.
Of course, there is a high probability that everyone is paying a lot of attention to her.
‘Whether that means good or bad intentions.’
Everyone must have returned to Kim Soo-hyun with extreme stress and pressure.
Right away, that guy Park Jun-woo had a clear sign of trying to do something to Kim Soo-hyun.
They are nothing, but there are countless people who expect nothing.
In the meantime, even some bad people who are trying to use themselves.
Did those things become poison in a difficult situation with an inferiority complex?
What people come to you. So what to expect.
For Kim Soo-hyun, who thinks he is lousy, that must have been worse than a nightmare.
‘I think I need to take care of it… .’
Minsung Kang said. It seems that the existence of me has influenced her.
It was an extremely short meeting, but in that moment, I achieved what Kim Soo-hyun wanted.
‘see. He said how he overcame it.’
The first step to overcoming inferiority complex. That is, admitting one’s own shortcomings.
It is the most difficult and the most necessary. A friend of mine once told me
“They are good.”
“Yes?”
“Here are the students. I wish By entering the academy.”
Kim Soo-hyun shows interest in my words. great. A good start.
It’s a pity that I had to self-destruct instead, but what can I do?
“I fell several times. I thought it would be all right if I just awakened this ability. I knew I would live well like everyone else. But it wasn’t. Rather, the situation is worse than when the incompetent was.”
“Why… Yo?”
“I was treated much worse. Is there anything you can do as a person with special abilities? If so, what is the difference between the incompetent and the incompetent? At the same time, won’t you receive the privileges that people with special abilities can enjoy?”
Those who can’t run on the field even though they have awakened this ability.
They are not treated very well like I am now.
Those with special abilities are treated with half a penny. People with no powers are told that they are fake people with special powers.
“It was very difficult. I felt like I was going crazy. I didn’t envision a future like this. The situation unfolding before me was never like this. I thought I could be like everyone else.”
“… .”
“I couldn’t adapt for a few months and wandered around. Then one day, my steps went to the Han River Bridge.”
Then Kim Soo-hyun suddenly said, ‘No!’ and hold my hand
If anyone sees it, they’ll know that they’re trying to commit suicide here.
“I went all the way there, and suddenly this thought came to me. Why should I be so unhappy? I didn’t do anything big, and I didn’t hurt anyone. I’m angry. It was miserable. So, I finally saw something.”
I paused and looked around the academy.
And next, he looked at Kim Soo-hyun and continued talking.
“Let’s just live. I don’t want to be like them, I want to live like myself. I’m worse than them, so it’s not that I’m miserable, I just admit it and just live hard.”
Kim Soo-hyun was listening to me without saying a word.
I’m surprised. To the confession that I had a past similar to yours.
For being honest about something you might want to hide from anyone.
I don’t want to realize something with this one time today.
It is enough just to cause a small ripple in one place in her heart.
“… Judge.”
“yes. Suhyun.”
“Then now… He’s fine… Are you?”
“I still hear people saying that I am a half-penny, a person with fake powers, but I am living a good life as a public servant. I’m not looking at others, I’m looking at myself. Then I met Jiyoon Han and got beaten up by Elder. Maybe this is good enough? I think so.”
Kim Soo-hyun looks at me for a moment, then turns his gaze to the front again.
I’m not affirming or laughing, but it’s not bad to think like that.
A very small difference in perception can come to a big change later.
“oh my. Suhyeon. Isn’t it lecture time soon?”
“oh. Yes. It’s not long.”
“You shouldn’t be doing this. Go ahead. What if it’s late?”
He nodded at my urging and took a few steps.
After that, Kim Soo-hyun, standing in place again, turns around.
“… Thank you. Judge. I’ll see you in a little while.”
A little bit more stable than before.
Feeling relieved inside, I nodded my head.

Academy lectures are largely divided into two cases.
‘Theory and practice.’
Theory is the lecture method that everyone knows.
And, as always, it’s a lecture that takes it lightly and makes it big.
The definition and concept of a person with special abilities. And the ethics and morals that must be followed.
Characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses of each ability. What to do and what not to do.
How to identify gates and how to deal with monsters and villains.
‘It’s said that the hidden enemy of academy graduation is theory, right?’
The other part, the practice part, is divided into two again.
One is training within the academy. Another is external support.
Among them, the main content of support is to gain practical experience at the gate.
If you’re unlucky, you might be able to engage the villains in the meantime.
Why do I, who am not an academy student, know so well about the lecture?
It is because the lecture has some relevance to my work.
Most of the time, students’ grades are judged when there are no lectures.
In other words, if there are a lot of empty lectures, there will naturally be a lot of people who want to be judged… .
‘I didn’t know there would be so many.’
Even if you just count the numbers, thirty people easily pass.
This is the extent to which other faculty members other than me are also looking after it.
I heard that there were professors who were killed or injured in the villains’ raid not long ago.
Because of this, when the lecture time is empty, it seems that they are trying to judge the grade.
‘I expected this to happen, so the faculty are helping, but… .’
There are many applicants for the silver level screening as it has not been long since the start of the new semester.
On the other hand, faculty and staff have other tasks, so they cannot focus on them.
That’s why the measurement department is dispatched, and I belong to that case.
Originally, there should be more dispatch positions, but it seems that everyone is busy handing them over because of his challenge.
“Ehh.”
He let out a sigh and looked at the students who applied for the grade review.
As before, there were few people with bad intentions.
Most of them are students who really want to go from bronze to silver level.
thank god. If strange bastards gathered again, they would have come out with swear words.
“Examiner.”
And the first screening target I will take on today is.
“Student Lee Hyeon-woo.”
Hero. It was Lee Hyeon-woo, a master of effort beyond talent.
“Are you feeling well?”
To his concern, I laughed and gave a sad answer.
“I think going to work would be a sure answer.”
“… You are suffering a lot.”
A pity spreads across Lee Hyun-woo’s face.
It would be an amazing day even for that guy to see. You go to work as soon as you are discharged.
Never be a civil servant! I wonder if it’s my misunderstanding that I can feel my inner thoughts.
“You were amazing. Judge.”
While preparing for the examination, Lee Hyeon-woo says that right away.
That’s great. I looked at him blankly, wanting to say something, and continued talking.
“You mean you blocked the elder.”
what. did you see it too I thought Kim Soo-hyun was everything.
And being beaten up like a dog is all, but what a big deal.
I couldn’t even leave because of the character.
“That courage. I really want to have it.”
I wonder if it’s not courage that stands in the way of Elder, but recklessness.
Even people with A-class abilities don’t have the ability to endure, so what are they talking about?
My conclusion was to quickly see the review before more embarrassing words came out.
“Let’s start. There are many students waiting behind us.”
Hyunwoo Lee is the main character. It’s like a guaranteed first-place lottery ticket.
It’s a bronze medal now, but one day it will become an overwhelming powerhouse.
Good thing. From my point of view, please do so.
Runaway gates, increasing monsters, and villains who don’t take chances.
The situation will only get worse. At that time, Lee Hyun-woo is absolutely necessary.
‘That’s why I can’t send it even more.’
– The third eye is active.
◎ Baek Seo-jin
: Silver Gatekeeper
◎ Details
: No one can pass through without the permission of the gatekeeper.
And something new appeared due to the required number.
– Attributes have been strengthened by reaching the required level.
– A sub-attribute has been created.
◎ Sub Attribute
: sole review officer
◎ Details
: Recognizes all those who have not been promoted by themselves as subject to review.
◎ Sub Attribute
: Gojingamrae
◎ Details
: Stacks are stacked in proportion to the number of promotion failures of the specified opponent.
After that, upon successful promotion, the specified opponent’s ability is strengthened by the stack.
I can confidently say this one thing without knowing anything else.
The reason why Lee Hyeon-woo’s promotion is blocked is never because he hates him.
