There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 79

26. End of term exam (1)

About a week after fixing the Missingno tied to Aaron Nortonhale’s crown.

I opened my textbook after a long time and was absorbed in my studies.

That’s also true, because the end of the semester exams were approaching the day before.

Paradise Academia is a game that focuses on the life of the academy, so there is a test every semester.

Usually, the exams in the first semester are called the end-of-semester exams.

In the second semester, just before winter vacation, it was usually called the year-end exam.

The test method itself is a simple written test, and there is a competition-type test just like the one we did at the time of admission.

There are also tests that attack dungeons with considerable difficulty.

The test I need to take this time is ‘Writing’ among them.

In other words, all you have to do is solve the problems with polynomial questions.

In the past, when I enjoyed playing games, thanks to the forum, I was able to get full marks without taking the actual class content.

I had to rely purely on my memory as I couldn’t use the secret of the internet.

‘I’m glad I remembered some of the problems clearly.’

I found the contents of the exam questions in the textbook I opened and underlined them.

From beginner level to advanced level.

The questions asked in the first semester exams of the first year were always the same.

Therefore, there were problems with very low difficulty, but there were also problems that could only be known in the class of the limited level class.

A very unreasonable test from the point of view of modern people.

However, since the faculty is Arthur’s, in many cases the practical evaluation rather than the writing has a great influence on the promotion.

Most of the students did not complain at all.

Right now, there’s nothing wrong with me.

On the contrary, if I looked too well… … Because my plan to stay in the intermediate class could have gone awry.

‘How lucky I am that I am not Ortana. The level of difficulty in writing there is at the level of a real test.’

Like the wizard faction, the Ortana Trial is embodied in a really vicious way.

Without the help of the Internet, it is almost impossible to entrust a high score.

Even that could be shared after the people who wrote the strategy spent several days collecting information and creating an answer sheet.

‘If you think about it again, the creators of these games are truly perverts.’

Even in academy-style games, there are many cases where the written test is simply skipped.

It’s quite embarrassing to even implement a test system.

“Ughhh…!”

I stretched out my stiff body and let out a moan.

Even when I was in school, I hated studying, but when I came back, the feeling was not new, and I hated it the same way.

Studying and I don’t seem to go well together.

but who i am

He is a proud member of Paradise Academia. You don’t have to study hard to get good grades.

“Now let’s start again!”

I started taking notes in the notebook I had prepared in advance.

* * *

on the test day.

I woke up early in the morning and walked out of the house with fresh steps.

Just then, the door to the next room opens, and a woman with scarlet hair appears.

Contrary to me, who was soft, Camilla had dark circles under her eyes.

“Goodbye Sanwoo… huh.”

She covers her mouth with one hand and yawns. It was like waking up all night without a hitch.

“Have you not slept?”

Camila rubbed her eyes to answer my question.

“I was going to sleep after tidying up a bit, but the scope was too wide than I thought…”

“Then you didn’t sleep at all?”

“About an hour or two? I didn’t get a good night’s sleep for fear of being late.”

“Didn’t I say that I shouldn’t be overdoing it? Originally, on the eve of the exam, you shouldn’t sleep all night, and it’s a rule of thumb to sleep peacefully.”

Unit evaluation, midterm exam, final exam, entrance exam, etc.

I have spent 12 years in the K-school life, which was predicted by various tests.

When it comes to written test know-how, you can’t be more expert than anyone else.

Camilla nodded, agreeing to what I said.

“Ugh, I really need to do that from today. Isn’t the subject of today’s exam not liberal arts anyway?”

“That’s right. Because it’s liberal arts, it must be easier than majoring. Oh, and do you want to study together after school?”

Camila pondered my suggestion for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

“Yeah. Then.”

I got a study mate! nice!

To be honest, I almost died of boredom by myself yesterday.

Lately, the Lioner used to leave my arms and walk freely in the forest.

He was left alone in a quiet room and had no choice but to write down his studies.

Even the guy I used to hate was so empty because he wasn’t there.

Anyway, in terms of efficiency, I desperately needed someone who could give me an atmosphere of studying and studying together.

‘But the Lioner guy is said to get stronger in proportion to my strength… … You seem to have gotten bigger these days, don’t you?’

Compared to the previous one, which could be easily lifted with one hand, it was definitely increased in size to be able to be lifted almost at the level of hugging.

Even if you don’t feel the weight, the volume is different.

If it goes on like this, I think that one day it may have the shape of a bear, which is its original form.

No, it’s not that I don’t know, I’m 100% sure.

Even with his own mouth, he said that the stronger my power gets, the more it will return to its original form.

‘I can’t materialize it at home then.

I shook my head, imagining the gigantic bear wreaking havoc in the house.

Arriving in front of the Warp Gate, we immediately moved to the Nosteria Northern Square where the Arthur Faculty is located.

When the warp is over, a gray fortress spanning a high mountain range comes into view.

“By the way, one semester has already passed. It’s been quite a long time.”

Camilla looks at the faculty building and speaks again.

“I know.”

Suddenly looking back, a lot of time had passed.

If you only play for about 6 hours in the game, you will immediately move on to the next semester, and I didn’t really feel it.

As soon as you step inside and live, you can feel the passage of time vividly.

From the entrance exam to Hisperiif introductory dungeon, he also fought against Nordin’s conspiracy with Camilla.

In addition, he made Aidan the heir of Triston and signed a contract with Lioner. A new club was also created.

Besides that, there was a lot going on.

It’s hard to think of all of them.

‘I just thought it was easy.’

In fact, the first semester of the first year in the game was about 10 hours on average.

However, it is not a scenario that is only 10 hours long, but my life itself has been thrown away for a long time.

That’s why this semester felt so long.

“Wow, it’s been almost a month since the triad was held.”

“really?”

I roughly counted the date in my head. As Camilla said, it was only a month in just a few days.

“Yeah, it’s going to be summer vacation soon.”

“Oh, it’s summer vacation. Have you decided to go home?”

“Perhaps it will be.”

Camilla answered with a curious expression on her face.

Perhaps, if I return to my hometown this time, I will face him as the official head of the Hwagwon-ryu during the second semester.

“Sanwoo, what are you going to do?”

“Me? I haven’t thought about it yet.”

It’s summer vacation… … .

In the main story, I usually practiced throughout the vacation period or went around dungeons to build up my specs.

As a resident, you can’t spend close to two months like that all day, right?

“I guess I’ll just stay on the island.”

“I see.”

As we talked like that, we had already reached the entrance of the department.

“Then go ahead and take the exam.”

“Look at you too! I’ll be waiting here at the entrance.”

After exchanging light greetings with each other, I turned to the annex where the class was located.

* * *

“Have you come?”

“What? Why did you come out before me?”

George has his textbook spread out on the desk.

“It was an exam, so I came early and studied a bit.”

“Who’s not a good student?”

He was a cheerful and light prankster every day, but he takes it seriously in class every time he looks like that.

Surely this is a serious issue with promotion to the advanced class at stake, isn’t it?

It seems to be burning with extraordinary enthusiasm.

“Did you study?”

“It’s just simple handwriting.”

“You said you weren’t interested in the upper classes, did you?”

“Yeah, that’s why I studied roughly. Because that’s what I’m comfortable with.”

“Uh-huh, it’s still great. It’s the same with double major, isn’t it supposed to be with Bled next semester?”

As terrible as the thought of it, George trembled.

“I can not.”

“Yeah? It’s fine once you get used to it.”

“Hey, honestly, you’ve been protected by Dean Irkan. Bled can’t be reckless. Just by looking at it, you can see that only you are favored.”

Was it?

I don’t remember ever giving me special treatment or anything like that.

“Originally, the world is money and power. You’ve got both, so you can’t even touch a professor.”

George added in a very serious voice, almost as if possessed by a sage.

He’s also a pretty young nerd.

I’ll have to give you some red ginseng with Hamel later.

“Then I’ll have to study too. I have less than 30 minutes left until the start.”

“Yeah, work hard.”

What can I say when he says he will do his best as a student?

But I also had something to prepare before the exam.

Although it is a low-importance liberal arts course, there is a ‘technique’ that needs to be practiced in advance for tomorrow’s major exam.

After I sat down, I put on black finger gloves from my bag. The soft fabric wraps around the palm of your hand.

And after putting the pen and notebook on the desk.

He quickly moved his hand to change the positions of the fan and notebook.

“George. Can you take a look at this?”

“What do you want to see?”

I pointed my finger at the notebook on the desk at George who turned his head slightly.

“Pen? What new did you get?”

“No, not that.”

“Why is he like that again? I have to study now. I don’t have time to play around.”

“Can’t you see the real notebook?”

“Where’s your notebook?”

“Oh, that’s all right. Study. I’m sorry for disturbing you.”

“what…….”

George looked at him like he was annoyed, and then concentrated on his studies again.

‘Okay!’

Skills prepared hard for this exam. This is the item recognition glitching technique using pickpocketing.

The gloves you are wearing now have been specially modified by the craftsmen in the back alleys.

Unlike the gimmicky gloves used for match-fixing during the last triad, this item is a modified version of regular gloves.

Remodeling was all about quickly swapping items.

The reason for giving this option was because of the additional phenomenon that follows when using this modification.

A phenomenon in which the item in question temporarily becomes invisible the moment the item is exchanged.

To be precise, it is close to the state of ‘unrecognizable except for the person concerned’.

Originally, it was a kind of systematic device that made the surrounding NPCs not aware of the fact when pickpocketing was successful.

Once an item becomes unrecognizable, it remains in that state until an action such as moving or picking is performed.

In other words, using this method, cheating is easy!

Besides, I already have ownership of the items targeted for pickpocketing.

There is no chance that pickpocketing will fail.

A perfect crime I can’t get caught unless I’m dumbfounded.

‘Because I can’t get a high score on this test in the first place.’

It was not difficult to get a high score in the exam and at least the advanced level with the knowledge of the deceased.

Right now, I was taking notes to be used for cheating yesterday, and it was a secret study.

But apart from that, getting an ambiguous score of just the intermediate level is not easily possible simply because you have knowledge.

In order to calculate the score and derive the correct answer to the problem in the right place, cheating is essential.

Still, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of remorse.

‘This is not fair. Still, at least the purpose is to remain in the intermediate class.’

I thought as I looked around my classmates who were studying hard.

But I promise you one thing.

‘I’m not going to block your way to the advanced class.’

Don’t block my way either!
