"Wow, I'm really sick of this now."
I was finished after a total of 10 tests.
[The test results are as follows.]
Flash.
About two feet in front of me, a hologram appeared.

One line review: The unusually biased proficiency is noticeable. We recommend improving your exceptional areas to make them your specialty, or to fill in the missing areas to create a balance.

I was a little impressed.
To have made so much progress in a few days after not having any experience using magic in my prior life.
The fact that I had two S-ranked skills meant that I had the skills that matched those of a S-skil hunter.
Both of them were due to my special ability sets, but they were still skills.
The goal to figure out my current level was complete.
From the statistics alone, I was way above the average level of the students of the academy. I still lacked application because I didn't get enough practice, but it was all right. I should be able to improve if I try my best.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.
I was definitely not one of the weaker ones. I hadn't had a real life battle, but I should get a chance in the classes.
"Should I practice a little more….I am a bit short on time."
I hadn't memorized my schedule, but I knew that the theory classes at the academy had a lot of mini quizzes.
I could memorize everything as long as I saw it once, so I should read the material now, but I was contemplating since the magic practice was quite a blast.
An excitement that I could not feel in my ordinary life. I did not want to let go of that rush of crossing boundaries between reality and fantasy.
"Magic training is important as well. I should skim the material quickly before bed."
*
In the end, I passed out as soon as I got home after training till late.
I should study later today, since I have some time after classes.
Today is Wednesday.
The first class was the study of dungeons. This is a class to learn the elements related to dungeon attack and tactics used in battle. This is the most intense theory class at the Academy.
Of course, it didn't matter to me. I had photographic memory.
I had already read the text book and reference material once.
[When the external mana value of the dungeon is 1500ppm, if the mana value at the beginning of the dungeon is 473ppm or less, there is a boss room or a named monster suitable for it. .]
[However, a different formula is applied from upper-intermediate dungeons with a mana value of 10000ppm or more… … ]
I was looking at the related material to find the solution. If I were to memorize all the related material, I should at least be able to apply them even though I don't understand them.
"Um… hi…"
"Hmm? Rumy?"
"Good morning.. Sorry I couldn't reply last night.. I fell asleep.."
Rummy was talking in front of me, but my eyes quickly scanned the room.
'What's Lucy up to?'
Since I had that incident with Lucy at the training center, she would not let her beloved sister get involved with me.
Fortunately, Lucy was busy talking to other group members. It seemed that rummy also used this as a chance to come say hi.
"It's totally fine. I was busy training yesterday as well."
"Training on the first day? Wow. If…by any chance you don't mind training together…"
Drrrrr-
"Nice to meet you all. I am professor Ji Hee Min of the study of the dungeon."
As if she was interrupting Rumy, the professor entered.
The student who were chatting all found their seats and Rumy also left saying, "I will get going!"
Seeing her side by side to Lucy, it was really hard to differentiate between the two.
"There must be some of you who are unfamiliar with dungeons, but the importance of dungeons are …."
The beginning lessons of the first class were extremely easy. The professor was blabbing on, and I looked around the room since I already knew what she was talking about.
Lucy was spinning her pen with her left hand on her chin. From her bored expression, the class must be difficult for her. Rumy was taking notes while staring at the board.
Daeun Nam ws plopped on the desk. She was not interested in studying for the written exams. She only had to focus on the training.
I was also doodling in the corner of the notebook with my pen.
Seducing the Heroine.
This was the most important goal. I honestly had no idea how I was going to succeed, since I had to cheat on 6 women at once. How could one possibly do that? If I had two more, I would be an octopus.
Should I make them submissive with drugs? No…not drugs.
Wait.
"…wouldn't it be okay?"
In [Sex Academy], there was an option for players who had already beat the game many times. If they had saved enough money from the past, they were able to choose that option. That option was memorized in my head.
'..Let me just keep it in mind for now.'
To think that I would actually take that path in real life, not the game, I was a little afraid and overwhelmed. Thinking of it, I should really apologize to Lucy. I hoped that she would forget, but the reaction yesterday showed that she remembered clearly.
I was going to apologize to her yesterday, but since the extroverted Lucy had already gone to lunch with her group, I missed my chance.
I will make sure to apologize today.
Strengthen my skills
This was the realistically most important goal. I first needed to become strong to do anything. If I were to get caught cheating on 6 women, I needed skills to protect myself from death.
And there were many events in which the heroine fall in danger in this stupid game, so it was a chance for me to earn some points from them.
For now, I needed to practice every day and apply the knowledge of magic.
'Or should I work out? Unlike the game…'
In the game, once you choose your specialty, the training becomes an act to increase a specific skill.
For example, when you choose a magician, when you train, only your magic power and not the other strengths like fitness increase.
But this was reality. Shouldn't a magician be able to work out as well?
"Hoyeon Lee, your pen has been paused for a while now. You must already know everything?"
"Huh?"
I was shocked by the sudden call of my name and bit my own tongue.
"Of course, you wouldn't be distracted had you not already known this. Why don't you interpret the question on the board? According to your response, I will determine whether or not to deduct your behavioral points."
[You currently have a maze-type dungeon with a mana value of 500ppm at the beginning of the dungeon. What is the proper way to deal with a boss-type wombat in a normal party configuration of melee 2 shooter 1 auxiliary 1?]
When I looked at the hologram screen, it was a familiar question. I had not seen the exact problem, but I had read a similar case from the scholarly research articles I read before.
"It's minus one point if you cannot answer this."
"No, hold on."
I mean, there was that girl over there spinning her pen and that girl sleeping. Why me?
From the attention of the other students and the pressure of the professor, I took a while, but I remembered the correct answer.
"In the maze-type dungeon, all areas have the same mana value. Therefore, the boss-type wombat will not be in the right state."
"Hmm?"
"Eucaltus, the staple food of wombats, cannot grow at a low mana price of 500ppm. Nevertheless, if it has grown to a boss type, there is a high possibility that the last surviving species evolved into a boss type."
"Hmm, and then?"
"Three years ago, there was a research paper on wombats that grew up in kinship. According to that paper, unlike wombats that were originally defensive, they became more ferocious, sharp fangs grew for carnivores, and their claws sharpened. As a result, …"
Once I started talking, I couldn't stop. It was not difficult because it was like reading the contents of the thesis as it was.
"…To summarize, the aggression has increased, but it has become simpler, and the strong stamina and attention are gone, so the best way to deal with this is to hold out for as long as possible with two warriors and then attack the weak point of the forehead with a strong single shot as both the shooter and the assistant."
"..."
No one said a word. A freshman in college had answered the perfect question even mentioning a study paper from 3 years back.
The students were confused, since they couldn't verify if this was the correct answer.
But the professor who was listening made a smile and applauded.
"How impressive. I also have read that thesis from three years ago. It's a question that was inspired by that, but it seems that Hoyeon Lee wasn't lucky enough to read that thesis alone, and it's an impossible answer without doing personal research. Plus one point."
"Thank you."
"But even if you know everything, there will be many professors who don't like it if you show that you don't focus on classes."
"I apologize. This won't happen again!"
Phew, luckily, that was over.
The class resumed. On the next screen was the solution explained, and the professor continued explaining. I focused my attention on the board since I was now on the radar, but I heard voices coming from behind.
"What. I did not understand a single word he just said."
"It would be more weird if you did understand. Didn't you hear the professor? It's from a paper 3 years back. It's bizarre that a freshman understands that."
"Then he got lucky, I guess."
"Still, his explanation is more detailed than that of the professor."
Hmm, did I try too hard? It wouldn't be a problem. In the original game, the protagonist ranks #1 beating Daeun Nam and Alice.
"I will see you in the next class. Remember to review. There will be an exam coming up."
As soon as class ended, the lecture hall became noisy. The awkwardness of the first day had gone. Well, except for me at least.
I was preparing for the next class as I packed, and I heard something.
"A study from 3 years ago, my ass. He still refuses to admit that he just got lucky."
"That's what I'm saying. If he was that good, he would have been valedictorian."
When I looked back from the obvious insult, there was a group of guys and girls who were laughing at me.
"Look, now he's looking at us. What are you gonna do now?"
"Lmao, stop it. He looks like he peed his pants. I can already smell it."
Lol.
Among the fa***** and bit**** who were laughing, there was a familiar guy in the center.
The guy who was laughing..his name was Jin Hyuk Do.
He was a villain in the game, too, but he was acting out in reality as well. How consistent.
In the game, Jin Hyuk and Hoyeon cross paths as enemies, but that was far out in the game.
I shouldn't have caught his attention. What now?
I was contemplating how to react when I saw a hand on Jin Hyuk's shoulders.
"Jin Hyuk Do. Why don't you stop bothering that kid and piss off?"
"…move that hand."
Jin hyuk clenched his teeth and flicked the hand off of his shoulders. He went away with his crowd. It was quite the reaction of a villain character.
"Hi?"
It was that guy who placed his hand on his shoulders. Who was this guy approaching me with a slight smile?
Oh, wait. I remembered his shiny blonde hair. The blonde punk.
He was Young Han Kim, the right hand of the protagonist.
With the short bleached hair and the tattoos visible through his sleeves, he symbolized a typical punk.
Of course, he wasn't actually a punk.
"Hmm? Oh, you are Young Han Kim, right?"
"Oh, you know me? I might be quite famous."
He also became friends with Hoyeon after helping him from the pestering Jin Hyuk Do. It was a bit early, but it shouldn't matter too much.
"I was looking for some cool kids, but I think I found one."
He was popular because of his personality. I was jealous.
"Nice to meet you. I am Hoyeon Lee."
I will be your parasite.
