Exiled and Became an Academy Scam Villain

10. New Powers for Placement Assessment? (3)

It was a good morning.

early March. So although it was still cold, I could feel the approaching spring.

Hana Choi is the undercover maid of Scarlett, vice president of Theia Student Council.

Most of the people in the mansion don’t know the truth either.

So, I had to work as a maid in the mansion.

status as a college student.

And since she was the lady of the mansion, with the status of Scarlett’s exclusive maid, there was no big touch in the mansion.

Thanks to that, I was able to focus on the work of the organization.

– Do your best in assessing your class placement today. Hana~!!

First, when you get off the family vehicle.

Scarlett encouraged her directly. So Hana Choi was full of motivation.

– And if you happen to meet ‘that man’, do your best! Hohoho~!!

Hana Choi blushed when she saw Scarlett paying her attention.

‘Sister Scarlett. No, Miss Scarlett. Even if there’s a misunderstanding, I’m doing it firmly.’

As I entered the door of the scheduled test site, I sneakily checked the messenger app on my smartphone.

Lee Jun-woo replied belatedly to the DM he sent.

[okay. Be strong too.]

short and concise sentences.

Although Scarlett misunderstood that Lee Jun-woo was selfish to her.

It could never have been.

‘Because Lee Jun-woo is a very noble paladin! He won’t be interested in women.’

Because of that Aegis activity, Lee Jun-woo is misunderstood as a woman with anorexia.

She secretly followed Lee Jun-woo often without his knowledge.

I knew that I had no relationship with the three of them.

Of course, you can have a secret love affair in a place you don’t know.

– Why are you late again! If you’re late, there are fewer civilians we can save!

– Don’t you know that the manager is on standby 1 hour before the broadcast? Watching it once or twice!!

– It’s often late these days. gotta do it right This makes it difficult to work with.

…… It didn’t seem that way with all three.

‘It’s kind of hard to say… but it was like three slaves.’

After barely finishing Aegis work.

That Lee Jun-woo secretly does his personal training late at night on a rooftop or something. The three of them didn’t seem to know each other.

There is no way Lee Jun-woo, who is so busy, could date any woman.

Including myself, of course.

But Scarlett doesn’t know what’s going on.

A while ago, I kept asking myself difficult questions.

‘I showed Lee Jun-woo’s profile picture to Scarlett’s female classmates! The response was really good. He says he’s handsome!’

You keep talking like that.

I kept asking Choi Hana what she thought of Lee Jun-woo.

‘What do you think?’

It’s true that I’ve been secretly watching him since high school days.

It was absolutely not like that as a man and woman.

In the first place, Hana Choi’s first priority is to rebuild the organization her father led. and revenge.

So, I have never lived as an ordinary woman of that age.

Even walking around dressed neatly like now.

It was all possible because Scarlett’s other maids did her makeup.

‘Lee Jun-woo…’

But what kind of person is Lee Jun-woo to you?

The definition wasn’t difficult.

Lee Jun-woo is someone she admires very much. And he is the one she absolutely needs.

A man with the mindset of a hero itself, which is hard to find in this day and age.

Also that she is trying to rebuild her father’s organization.

At the same time as revenge, it was to end the chaos of the underworld with countless innocent victims.

I wanted to work with him, whom I could trust more than anyone else.

And I wanted to help him too.

Of course, it all started with Theia Academy’s party activities.

However, Hana Choi, who entered the exam hall, inadvertently hid herself.

‘Hee!!’

I saw Lee Jun-woo right there. When I saw him, my body stiffened.

‘huh…? Why am I doing this?’

Actually, I’ve been watching it for a long time.

It really hasn’t been long since I started talking like I do now.

‘okay! Because I respect Lee Jun-woo! I’m nervous for no reason!’

I hurriedly took out my hand mirror.

I checked again to see if my appearance was not neat.

Somehow, it felt embarrassing to talk face to face.

Maybe it’s because I’ve never had a proper conversation with a guy my age, so I didn’t know if it was more like that.

‘one two…’

Then, counting three in my mind, I naturally approached him and greeted him energetically.

“Nice to meet you, Junwoo Lee!”

Then Lee Jun-woo’s eyes turned to him.

But at that very moment, instead of greeting, he looked over there.

‘huh? Is there anything over there?’

Choi Hana also turned her head.

Standing right there was another person he knew best.

‘An Yu-min?’

An honor student who would never be forgotten if he was from Theia High School.

No, the most popular and popular cadet among Theia Academy freshmen.

And strangely, it was An Yu-min who often competed with Hana Choi in practical evaluation.

‘Why is your expression like that?’

Although not to the extent of being friends.

Since we had been in the same class, I knew at least what kind of expression he usually made.

An Yu-min is always an overly ambitious and courageous Awakener.

But now it was different.

An Yu-min’s eyes were trembling.

A very confused expression.

And it looked like he was very afraid of something.

An Yu-min approached Lee Jun-woo and opened his mouth.

“Lee Jun-woo. Maybe you…”

Just then. Choi Hana and An Yoo-min’s eyes met.

‘no. Could it be that Lee Jun-woo was needed again belatedly?’

I was wary of An Yu-min. Perhaps it’s instinct.

What made me party with Lee Jun-woo?

It was possible because he left the Aegis.

Talent like Lee Jun-woo back to that Aegis.

I didn’t want to give it back to An Yu-min.

That is, of course, they do not want to lose their outstanding talent to their competitors.

It means an instinct as an organizational boss.

‘And I don’t want to lose to An Yu-min.’

There are bound to be people whose code doesn’t fit well.

The two of them were like each other. During high school training. The training I had with An Yu-min as a duo was the worst.

Inadvertently, Choi Hana stepped closer to Lee Jun-woo.

“Lee Jun-woo is a member of my party!”

So I immediately shouted at An Yu-min.

***

The atmosphere in the exam hall was full of tension.

It was the same during the retest, but the pressure itself was different now.

Which class you enter becomes your own specification.

In particular, the high class is a shortcut to an important position in the hunter world after graduation.

Of course, now in the hunter world, personal connections and family backgrounds are more important than skills.

Even among those golden spoons, there is a battle of pride.

Well, I wasn’t aiming for a high class.

Rather, the middle class, which can take the original An Yu-min’s early quests, is much better for me.

‘The problem is that the middle class isn’t easy either.’

Students who take the retest end up in the low class.

Classes among cadets are already determined from high school.

The case of An Yu-min, who rose from the middle rank to the top rank, was a very exception.

‘An Yu-min.’

A little while ago, I bumped into An Yu-min at the test site.

I was always looking at An Yu-min’s expression.

I immediately noticed that it was different from usual.

‘Are you shaking like that right before the evaluation?’

An Yu-min basically has a high desire to win.

So right before the evaluation, I was always motivated. Concentration was also high.

But now, for some reason, his eyes were restless.

‘It was a disturbing expression. What’s going on?’

I knew that the Aegis was shaking.

That expression right now was clearly the expression An Yu-min would make when his mental state was severely broken.

‘When you miss the villain you barely caught. It was like that when civilians were harmed… or when I lost a practical evaluation to Hana Choi.’

Maybe it’s because the hero activities haven’t been cool lately. I didn’t even know it was stressful.

And then, when our eyes finally met.

– Junwoo Lee. maybe you…

That’s how you tried to talk to me.

– Junwoo Lee is a member of my party!

And Hana Choi, who suddenly came close to me, shouted.

An Yu-min escaped the place as if he were running away.

If it was the old me

I was worried about An Yu-min, so I would have abandoned my evaluation and went to comfort her.

In fact, I had no idea.

‘Well, no matter how bad the evaluation grades are, I’ll go into the high class.’

She is the one who has completed her 2nd awakening. Besides, Aegis recruited a new operator. There is nothing more to worry about.

Now was the time to focus on my work.

‘By the way, Hana Choi.’

Choi Hana was shocked when An Yu-min left like that.

‘Cause you’re too close to me It was about the two of them’s arms touching.

Realizing that fact belatedly, he bowed his head and said.

– We wish Junwoo Lee to pass the middle class!

Saying that, he hurriedly ran away from the spot.

He also had a unique personality. Still, it seems that they rate me highly as a party member. I didn’t feel bad.

‘If it’s Hana Choi, the middle class will definitely stick.’

No matter how re-tested, Choi Ha-na’s practical skills were enough to pass the high class.

However, Hana Choi’s parents are ordinary people.

And since she is from a poor family, she is working as Scarlett’s exclusive maid. It was recorded like that in the record of life recorded at the high school.

‘Even though it’s just a disguise.’

Besides, attendance and theory grades at high school are not good. Probably going to middle class.

At that time, the evaluator called the next group. It was my turn.

I could see Song Xia’s face over there.

An expressionless face with an unchanging emotion.

So I also focused.

‘Even if we knew each other in the first place, I’m not the type to look at her. Song Xia.’

No, on the contrary, he seemed more focused than usual.

She is a half vampire. His eyes were cold and cold, to the point where it was terrifying.

for a moment. Why are you so serious with me?

Honestly, Song Shia became sincere. Because he is the scariest among the three Aegis. It wasn’t good.

‘You can’t be careless. If you fall to the low class, all plans are twisted.’

I sneakily identified three evaluators.

remembering the face

A middle-aged female professor with a pale face.

Because he was a magician belonging to the Mage Tower, he was a professor, not an instructor.

The other is the instructor of the Holy Knight Faculty. Even in the Hunter world, his name was a famous paladin.

‘I matched the main class of the two.’

Xia Song is an orthodox class of wizards until her second awakening.

According to my high school records, my first awakening was a paladin. It was only natural that there were professors in those two classes.

And the face of the other was more familiar.

The young instructor I saw at the re-exam.

It was Instructor Lee Soo-yeon of the liberal arts department. She was wearing an office look, so she looked like an interviewer.

‘It should look good to Instructor Lee Soo-yeon.’

The department I really want to enter is the Faculty of Free Majors, not the Faculty of Holy Knights.

It was because of Instructor Lee Soo-yeon.

Powers of various classes that I have.

Even the newly created power this time was a thief class.

[warrant]——-

[The power is being activated.]

* Rating: 3★

* Authority level: 1

* Attribute: Flame

[Check available skills.]

▶ Active skill

* Bomb property given (lv.1)

: Gives the property of a bomb to an unstable object.

▶ Passive skill

* Time Bomb (lv.1)

: Adjust the bomb explosion time with the will of the Awakener.

——-

I will continue to acquire and combine various powers.

Of course, Instructor Lee Soo-yeon, who teaches several classes together, is the best for me.

‘Because authority is not independent.’

The present authority created from a suitcase bomb.

And with this authority, I expanded the skills of other authority.

That’s right, my 1st power.

A peacefully sparkling mirror, a skill belonging to that authority.

‘All preparations are complete.’

The evaluators could be seen checking the profiles of the two and past grades.

Soon, the evaluator of the Paladin Faculty opened his mouth.

“Then, Song Shia. and Junwoo Lee. Both of them to the evaluator.”

The two stood side by side.

And even though we were together in the exam hall. It was only then that I met eyes with Song Xia, who hadn’t even looked at me.

Song Xia’s red eyes were shining.

In an instant, goosebumps ran through his body. It wasn’t my mood. It was because of the pressure from Song Xia’s mana.

‘The power attribute I have. Neither side is thirteen.’

The light and dark attributes of authority are compatible with each other.

The primary power attributes of the two are Light and Dark, respectively. Naturally, I was overwhelmingly pushed by Song Xia.

‘Though my secondary power is darkness…’

The matching effect is the power of the dark attribute.

Although I can make up for it to some extent with the seat of the Shadow Mirror.

Basically, his stats were too inferior to that of Song Xia. Even with the stats on the elemental resistance side, of course I am far below.

But if there’s one thing I’m overwhelmingly ahead of, it’s mental strength.

“how have you been doing? You look tired today.”

to hide that tension. I spoke leisurely first.

‘huh?’

However, Song Shia’s red eyes trembled for a moment. She hurriedly opened her mouth.

“…don’t pretend to be close to me. And like that, An Yu-min…”

Of course, I thought you wouldn’t respond. so i was puzzled

‘Suddenly, what does An Yu-min mean?’

When An Yu-min tried to talk to me for a moment. Seeing that, he might have misunderstood that I was still getting wet with Aegis.

“……”

But when I looked back, his expression was still cold. He said nothing more and was silent.

‘Well, the fact that I left the Aegis. It won’t be anything to that Song Xia.’

Now that we have recruited a new operator. Maybe you don’t want to be involved with me anymore.

She was emotionless.

In the meantime, the sinister life peculiar to vampires only grew stronger.

‘It’s much more… scarier than before.’

It is also an opponent that cannot be overlooked.

I know that, and I have already prepared everything.

“Abbreviated sparring is one minute. It’s a place to show each other’s mastery of power and skill rather than deciding whether to win or lose. I want you to focus on showing yourself.”

At that time, the instructor of the Holy Knight Faculty spoke.

Then, the female professor of the Faculty of Magic glanced at me.

“Hmm. No need to force yourself! It’s also a virtue of an awakened person to calmly know one’s fraction… no, one’s skills. If it’s Miss Xia, there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Even if you give up from the start.”

It’s as if it’s right to declare retirement right now.

But despite the sarcasm, I was calm. Rather, Instructor Lee Soo-yeon in the seat next to him muttered.

“Is it really so?”

After a while, a brief sparring between the two began.
