A week wasn’t a very long time.

Set up a base, make a budget plan with the money Rio gave you, search for other skills or artifacts, and collect information you don’t know.

I was busy working for my future academy life, but even in the midst of that, there was a scene that caught my eye.

‘There are a lot of students digging or digging.’

As expected, the impact of digging up the flower bed was great. Well, if you dig the ground, an artifact will pop out. Can you put up with this?

After a rough look around, they searched the mountain to find treasure, dug up other flower beds, or searched the building to find the basement.

“There! You can’t dig that way!”

“Just dig here, just dig here! There’s a ley line here…!!”

“It doesn’t work anymore!”

“Sheesh!”

What is unusual is that the students who dig the ground make excuses by saying that they are feng shui, vitality, and leyline before being dragged away by the guards.

Of course it’s my fault.

‘It seems that what happened in the guard is known.’

There were no academy students in the guard, so I don’t know how my feng shui story spread, but it was a happy coincidence.

The more I act like that, the more my divination story will spread.

“The preparations… are over.”

Making a first impression by meeting special job classes such as Liu Yan and Lane Arthur.

I met a strong magician named Charles Teddy Bear.

get the skills you need

to prepare for the future.

There is only one thing left now…

“let’s go.”

──It’s time to win at the entrance ceremony.

*

The main auditorium was located in the middle of the romance academy.

Since it stands alone with no other buildings nearby, most students who are not yet familiar with the academy’s geography can find it easily.

This is where the true beginning of the game, the ‘entrance ceremony’, begins.

So I was a bit nervous… …

“—That’s why, the history of the glorious and proud Romance Academy is about to go 100 years from the day the petals were scattered, keeping new students in mind which academy they entered, always paying attention to their words and behavior, You should do the same…”

“………I’m sleepy.”

Even if the speech is long, it is too long.

Since the principal is not at the academy right now, it seems that the vice-principal is speaking as a representative of the instructors sitting at the back of the podium, but it would be much better if a teddy bear came out and spoke.

Can you please break up the sentence a bit?

“Uh…”

“………….”

“Huh…”

Other students, who at first gathered in the auditorium feeling proud, did the same. The senior vice-principal has already been doing that for over 30 minutes.

What’s even worse is that even though you can clearly see the students dozing off from the podium up there, they are still talking steadfastly.

I’ll tell you when you grow up is this?

“……Students should never let go of their original attitude and always keep their original intentions and move forward, and Romance Academy will always do its best to support such students, but we will give additional rewards to excellent students. Then, a brief introduction I will end with this.”

The speech was finally over, but few students were already alive in the auditorium. It will take some time for everyone to wake up.

In the meantime, take a look around.

“………bloke.”

Liu Yan stares at me with bloodshot eyes. Why does he look like he hasn’t slept in days?

“Uh… well.”

“……?”

Lane Arthur, who looked in front of me and then glanced at me. Top priority for solving my character’s events.

Next to him is his older brother, Lucas Artur, looking at Lane like that and making an expression of what he is doing.

“…….”

“………….”

Prince Kim Seong-il, who never sleeps and only looks straight ahead, and the princess Kim Eun-ha, who sits next to him, are not interested in the surroundings… … isn’t it?

why are you looking at me Is this self-consciousness?

… … While I was thinking.

“…………fortune-teller.”

Suddenly, the back of my head stings, and if I turn my head back a little bit, <Saint> is watching me as if it will pierce me with burning eyes.

… … To be honest, that’s what I hate the most.

The Bible says not to worship idols, and to kill or break the head of a shaman or fortune teller if you see them.

But the fanatics who try to practice it not even hundreds of years ago, but even today, are <saints>. It’s a bit unfair to think that I’ve been struggling not to run into him for a week.

‘… … Isn’t the one you’re holding a mace?’

I’m holding a piece of metal… … I believe I didn’t bring a mace to break my pot at the entrance ceremony. really.

I turned my head forward again, ignoring the saint who tried to pierce the back of my head with his gaze.

“Then, senior Kim Seong-il. Forward.”

“yes.”

Oh, the admission certificate is given.

A black-haired handsome man dressed in a clean yet luxurious suit walks out with an expressionless and disciplined attitude. If you think about his real face, he’s really good at acting.

“Prince Kim Seong-il, you are the chief. Your skills befit your noble blood.”

“thank you.”

“Give my regards to His Majesty. Even if it seems like this, we are classmates with Her Majesty at the Romance Academy.”

“I’ll be sure to tell you.”

The prince, who exchanged a brief greeting with the vice-principal, did not go down the podium, but turned around and looked at the freshmen.

Originally, it is customary for the first and second students to speak one word at a time as representatives.

“My name is Kim Seong-il, the prince of the unified Korean Empire. I don’t think I’m overestimating myself, but I don’t think there will be anyone who doesn’t know me among the freshmen.”

“But now, before becoming a prince, I’m a freshman at the Romance Academy. You won’t be able to completely forget my identity, but my goal is to make as many friends as possible.”

“For these four years, I hope we can put aside all the complicated stories and just have a laugh while talking about trivial things.”

“thank you.”

clap clap clap!!!

“Prince! You’re handsome!”

“Please look this way, Prince!”

“U, Yu, Light, Kal, Hwang! Come on! Nim!”

It was a pretty cool statement, so applause is understandable.

Why the hell are you using such bloody expressions as handsome, look at me, milky white? It’s just great, the bowl is big, can’t we do it like this?

Damn girl oriented unplayed game. At this rate, a fan club is on the rise.

Amid cheers, the prince descends, and the vice-principal comes out and shakes his neck.

“Next is second place. Second place, student Namgoong-min. From now on.”

“yes.”

When my name is called, I check my attire one last time and step forward with a smile on my face.

“What is it? You’re not the princess?”

“Who is it? Anyone know?”

“No…that’s a fortune teller.”

“A fortune teller? Are you groping?”

“No, that’s for sure. There’s a fortune teller who went out to take a special test at that time.”

Unlike the prince a moment ago, gazes mixed with doubt and astonishment poured out.

There were a lot of people who looked at me alternately with Princess Kim Eun-ha, so it seems that many students thought that the next seat was the princess.

However, there are other perspectives, albeit slightly, mixed in.

“A fortune teller? The guy who dug up the flower bed?”

“Ah, the one who found the treasure through feng shui or something?”

“Finding it by dots? I’ve been fooling around all week?”

“It’s the second seat. Do you know what’s going on?”

There are many people who don’t know, but rumors about me are spreading. At least it’s proof that my efforts weren’t in vain.

When I came up to the podium and stood in front of the gray-haired vice-principal, he was looking at me with a proud expression.

“Congratulations for second place. It’s the first time a <Fortune Teller> has entered our school, so it’s great to be second.”

“It is an infinite honor to be accepted into the Romance Academy.”

“hehehehe, I’ll look forward to it.”

I shook hands with the vice-principal who handed him a smile and accepted my second-place admission ticket. The speeches were a bit boring, but unlike the principal who is a discriminatory person, the principal is comfortable because he is completely open-minded.

It’s impossible in terms of the scenario, but if the principal were here, he wouldn’t have said something to me.

I put my useless thoughts aside and looked back.

‘I can see everything.’

Students who are surprised that it is real, students who look suspicious, students who just nod their heads saying that it is great, and so on. Although the reaction is a bit different, there is no one who is not surprised by my admission to the second place.

Yes, I was surprised too, but it must be different for other people.

In particular, the reaction of the special job class was genuine.

Liu, whose expression is greatly distorted and who shoots eyes mixed with doubt and astonishment, is cute.

Prince Kim Seong-il has a slight but disapproving face, and Princess Kim Eun-ha has a calm reaction.

When they reached the castle, they were about to drop the mace in their hands with their eyes wide open in astonishment… … But it’s a real mace. I don’t want to go around

That’s how the surprises, questions, and novelties of freshmen like me are focused on me.

‘… … now.’

This is the moment I was aiming for.

The moment when the country will raise my reputation while informing about the fortuneteller.

‘I must stand out unconditionally.’

Whether it’s to get involved in character events easily, or to have a smooth life at the academy in the future.

I always have to stand in front of people.

I know how to do it.

“Hello. I’m Namgoong-min, a fortune teller, second-placed student.”

No shaking of hands or feet. Focus your eyes on the center and slowly look around. The voice is a little low, but in a pleasant atmosphere.

“I think a lot of people are surprised that I’m in second place. I myself was surprised.”

keep the smile on Mix gestures between words.

“Isn’t a fortuneteller such a job? People who say things that don’t fit well and have no proper basis as if they were the truth. With that kind of perception at the base, the gaze toward me won’t be very good.”

Slightly lower the tone to emphasize the words. Make eye contact and talk as if you understand your thoughts.

“That’s why I want to prove myself here. If you’re a fortuneteller, it’s right to prove it with divination.”

A confident smile and voice here. And activate the job skill.

“<view point>.”

Creates a tarot card in the air with a job skill, and shuffles the cards beautifully while everyone’s eyes are focused on the tarot card.

and pull out one

“What is that?”

“Tarot? Can you read it?”

“Of course I don’t know…”

“The card drawn is Minor Arcana, Sword number 5. It means ‘confusion’.”

“……confusion?”

Shortly after one of the freshmen followed along with that ominous-sounding word.

Namgoong-min spreads one hand wide and continues to speak.

“Five seconds later, something interesting will happen.”

Raise one hand and spread all fingers to form a 5, folding one by one.

5.

“What is that fortune teller saying?”

“Since it’s number 5, you mean 5 seconds later, can’t you?”

“No, do you believe that? Isn’t it bullsh*t just by looking at cancer?”

4.

“……Rain, keep an eye on that fortuneteller. He seems a little different from other fortunetellers…Rain?”

“………….”

3.

“How do you trust fortune tellers? Is that really second-rate?”

“It looks like a wild beast just by looking at it.”

“Suddenly you draw a tarot card and something chaotic happens five seconds later? If that’s correct, is that a fortune teller? It’s a prophecy.”

2.

“Second seat…? That fortune teller took second place? There was no such information when I investigated last time…!”

One.

“It’s just turning aggro off.”

“Nothing happened? What happens when it becomes zero?”

0.

“Just listen, older brother. That’s a pretty interesting person.”

“…….”

“It’s a little… I guess I’ll have to look at it with interest.”

Finally, the moment when all the fingers are folded.

gg gg gg gg gg gg —-

“What, what!?”

“It’s an earthquake!”

“You idiot! This is a floating city!”

“Isn’t it broken somewhere!?”

The entire auditorium vibrates as if an earthquake had occurred, and a few students sitting in awe are trembling.

However, most of the students were looking at the podium with their mouths open even while the entire auditorium was shaking.

Really, as Namgoong-min said on the podium, as soon as 5 seconds passed, something called ‘confusion’ happened.

gugg… …

“Oh, it’s stopped…”

“Did that fortune teller do it? Job skill?”

“Is that thing real?”

After a while, the tremors gradually subsided.

It is only after the confused students finally find some stability.

“How are you guys?”

Even when the auditorium was shaking, Namgoong-min, who did not stumble or lose his smile, quietly whispered, and his voice resounded in the auditorium where only silence fell.

Unlike a few seconds ago, the eyes of the freshmen looking at him were filled with surprise rather than questions.

“The second seat was Namgoong Min.”

match.

match.

mate.

clap clap clap clap–

“What is that fortune teller!”

“Aren’t you just a prophet!?”

“I didn’t believe in divination, but would you like to see divination on him?”

“Do you even look at love points!”

The sound of applause filled the auditorium. Numerous students cheered in admiration for Namgoong-min, as if they had witnessed the magic of a skillful magician.

As if in response, Namgoong Min smiled and lowered his head.

However, it is not only the students who are shocked.

“……How did you know?”

“Aren’t you a fortuneteller? He must have been a real fortune teller.”

“Can you guess the academy event with that? If that was possible, fortune telling would have been the most important job in the world.”

“I am the first fortuneteller to enter the Romance Academy, and even that is second place. Fortune tellers aren’t special, but Namgoong Min, a student, isn’t that special?”

“……I’m sure it’s amazing.”

The instructors of the Romance Academy sat behind the podium.

When Namgoong-min first declared 5 seconds, everyone was surprised, but now everyone is surprised.

‘That’s right, the vibration was prepared by the academy.’

It is a game set in the famous academy.

If the entrance ceremony is just over, of course it’s no fun, right? I can vividly remember the words of my younger sister who used to talk.

The entrance ceremony isn’t over yet.

‘Shall I brush my mouth?’

Of course, my plans aren’t over yet.
