Academy Silver Gatekeeper

196 – Why the Academy Again? – 2

After meeting Lina, she naturally went to see the president of the association and Jiyoon Han.

“Is it true? Hmm… Irina didn’t say anything like that at all.”

“No, Irina, you didn’t even mention this important information?! This is real!”

Hmm. I felt a little sorry for Lina, but what can I do?

Hyun Soo-jin said to be comfortable treating her as a dead person, but it is a bit difficult to publicize her survival.

And anyway, Lina, that guy got what he wanted for that reason, right?

“We will keep it a secret until we get a clear indication.”

“Ugh. The S-ranks are already working hard, so do we even have to patrol the Union Academy?”

If you go around worrying in all directions for no reason, the problem may become even bigger.

So, both men and women suggested that they pretend not to know for now and observe the situation.

It’s my side. I was looking forward to the elders coming into the Venus flytrap, so I’m thankful.

Afterwards, I met Hyun Su-jin once more, who relayed the information.

When asked how she responded, she responded that she would pretend not to know and just observe the situation.

Then he laughed and said, ‘You’re a bit of a crazy person too.’

The others are scared of Elder, so they try to avoid it at all costs.

It’s obvious that the guy named me wants to come back soon.

I think I now know why Kwak Hyeok kept getting pushed out by me.

Saying that, Hyun Soo-jin disappeared with the words, “I’ll see you again when I get the chance.”

To be honest, I secretly wanted them to fight together.

Before I could even make that suggestion, he disappeared right away and I couldn’t even talk to him.

‘One to two months until the completion of the Union Academy.’

The huge educational institution is nearing completion in just a few months.

It is perhaps natural that humanity has reached the highest level of ability to recover from damage.

Even during the last attack on the academy, wasn’t the restoration completed in less than a month?

I think we need to speed up the process of selecting people to send to the Union Academy.

“… “Um, examiner?”

When I slowly turned my head, I saw Kang Hana looking at me.

“Yes. Student Hana Kang. Why is that?”

“The reason you’re telling me this is…”

“What can I say? It will be a good experience, so you should join in.”

Are they the only ones who will come because the Elders are crazy? Absolutely not.

I will bring a bunch of kids down there to distribute attention and power.

The levels will vary greatly, from grade A to grade C.

Even though our team members can’t deal with the Elder yet, the ones below are sufficient.

This is an opportunity that will never happen again. Fighting monsters is good, but fighting villains is also useful.

It’s not that humanoid monsters don’t exist at all, but they don’t appear often either.

Therefore, the experience may be lacking, but the battle with the villain makes up for it.

There will be something to be gained when fighting a life-or-death battle with someone with the same ability.

“Uh… “Wouldn’t it be dangerous?”

“Don’t worry. The elders will be holding on tightly to me and Lina.”

Lina, she is the type of person who absolutely hates having her share her her taken away, so she has nothing to worry about.

And I, too, have been thinking about one possibility recently.

-Why on earth does this damn hook sign show no signs of disappearing? –

At first, it was thought that it was simply a lack of number of water gate targets.

So I worked harder, didn’t rest, and continued to take the silver level review.

As a bonus, I didn’t avoid sparring, which can have a similar effect.

But even after several months, the hook mark did not go away.

The numbers are steadily being filled in, but there is actually no change at all.

There were cases where the characteristics were strengthened in the middle, but that was the end.

When that happens, the next possibility that comes to mind is none other than ‘quality over quantity.’

When I think back, the change in characteristics was more noticeable when encountering the Elder than ever before.

He lost his fear and attacked Kwak Hyuk, and there was friction with Hyun Su-jin.

Each time, the trait was to jump up, almost as if climbing a few stairs.

Although it was much more difficult than acting as a gatekeeper to the students at the academy.

Perhaps because he faced such a difficult opponent, the change was clearly visible.

Blocking an opponent that is difficult to block is better than blocking an opponent that is easy to block.

Maybe that’s the only way to get rid of this damn hook.

‘The location is also the United Academy. Since you are not simply activating traits outside the academy, but within the academy, the growth value will be much higher.’

As soon as I thought about it, I came to the conclusion that I should deal with several Elders at once.

The possibility of winning against many people is, of course, low. It is so low that it is likely to hit bottom.

But what I’m aiming for now is not victory, but blocking the floodgates.

If you hold on, of course support from your allies will follow, so there is no problem.

Even if Lina is nearby, what should I be more worried about?

“So, if you are a strong student, all you have to do is gain experience with your teammates.”

“The villains are said to have died a bit, but it still won’t be easy.”

“We have to overcome it. Only then will we be able to grow to the next level.”

At my answer, Kang Ha-na slowly nods her head as if it is correct.

“Did you tell Dasom and your junior? “What about Suhyeon?”

“I have to do it now. Well, student Lee Hyeon-woo will say that he will do it unconditionally, and student Yu Da-som will say that her team members will go, but she, as an assistant, cannot be left out. And Suhyun…”

“Well, Soohyun will definitely do whatever the examiner tells her to do. It could be dangerous.”

As the saying goes, it is dangerous. It doesn’t make sense if it’s not dangerous.

However, a better place for Soohyun to grow is in battle with villains.

Much better than fighting monsters, dealing with dungeons and gates.

When you think about the Red Witch’s characteristics, you become stronger when you see blood.

Su-hyeon specializes in fighting people with special abilities rather than monsters.

She had nothing more to go than the massacre she should have done, and now the battle with Lina.

“Everything I’ve done so far has been dangerous. Soohyun did that, and students Hyeonwoo Lee and Dasom Yu did that too. “Our team all had a hard time, but we came through in the end.”

“That’s right.”

Have I erased all the anxiety that remained in my heart?

Kang Hana’s magic, which was a little uneasy, calms down.

“Oh, right! Come to think of it, examiner. “I’m telling you this while talking about the team.”

“Yes.”

“Do you know the news? Dasom, well…”

“You’re saying that you confessed to student Lee Hyeon-woo that you like him?”

“Huh? Did the examiner know too?”

“Somehow I found out.”

To be precise, I learned it properly because that damned Lee Hyun-woo provoked me.

I still remember it. Since there are two women, wouldn’t they be able to give better advice?

At that moment, the words ‘What bullshit are you talking about, you crazy bastard!’ Were itching in my mouth.

I still wonder how I tolerated that. Damn you.

“I was really surprised. “I never thought Dasom would like her junior.”

“Isn’t that often the case? When people suddenly look different when you spend time together. “At that very moment, you seem like the opposite s*x, and that’s how you either become good friends or grow further apart.”

It is safe to think of this as CC.

If a confession is rejected, or if the relationship breaks up, the aftereffects are serious.

Isn’t this why they even ban office dating in the workplace?

“Student Kang Ha-na was close to Yu Da-som. “What do you think?”

“What does my opinion matter? If both people say they like it, that’s fine.”

“Still, I’m very close with student Dasom Yu, so I think I’ll have some feelings about it.”

“Uhm…”

Kang Hana, who thought for a moment, shrugged her shoulders and parted her lips.

“I think it’s okay. “Once I see her junior, I don’t think I will turn my attention elsewhere.”

“… “Hey, why are you looking at me secretly?”

“Wouldn’t the examiner know better about that?”

I’m telling you just in case, this is an intentional bridge of lamb.

Because I want this… Well, honestly, I wanted it a little bit, but not completely.

Anyway, it happened because of the influence of others. It would be too unfair.

“… Lastly, first year students Hyunwoo Lee and Soohyun Kim. So far. We will decide that the above 32 students will be admitted to the Union Academy.”

The number of people selected after thorough investigation, judgment, and meetings with stakeholders.

At first glance, it may seem very small compared to the number of students at the academy.

However, in reality, there are quite a few. Looking at the fact that the US side has about 30 people and the Chinese side does not exceed 50, it can be seen that the Korean team is very talented.

After all, a Korea-centric worldview. It ended with Rina being in Korea.

“I’m in the admissions list, examiner! Did you do well?!”

“Huh. But will you be okay? There is a union academy, and there is also training with students from the academy here. It’s going to be very busy.”

Soohyun, and Lee Hyeonwoo too. They all decided to attend the Union Academy and continue their training with the bronze students here.

The reason is that if they leave, the atmosphere they had created will be ruined again.

“Are you okay. Rather, being busy is good. The examiner said so!”

That, Soohyun. When you say that being busy is good, you really didn’t mean it in a good way.

It was a hypnotic message I used to tell myself when I was overwhelmed with work every day.

“Isn’t that so, comrade? … Comrade? Lee Hyun Woo? Hey!”

“To? Ah. To? Did you call me, Suhyeon?”

“What. Why am I suddenly losing my mind?”

I know the reason, Suhyun. Don’t know too accurately.

“I guess today is that day, student Hyunwoo Lee. Right?”

“Okay…”

Hyunwoo Lee nods his head while drooling.

Soo-hyeon asked, ‘What is it?’ And told him what was going on.

“Today is the day when student Lee Hyeon-woo answers student Yu Da-som’s confession.”

“Eh?”

“I asked you to wait until the day when the Union Academy personnel was assigned, but that has already passed. Now that you think about it, student Lee Hyun-woo is also really great, isn’t he? “Are you putting it off for over a month because even if you give me an answer right away, it won’t be enough?”

Then Lee Hyun-woo grabbed his face and answered like this.

I guess I wanted to somehow avoid giving an immediate answer or something.

No, do you think you can avoid it like that? A guy who is so reckless when fighting gets scared at times like this.
