52 – Episode 11. Midterm.

＜3＞

Cheongmyeong, one of the four prestigious schools, is a world of merit supremacy, where students are treated differently depending on their grades.

Although the practical test, which is held every quarter, has a high impact on the grade evaluation, the written test was not negligible at all.

In particular, the subject of ‘application of abilities’ is as important as the practical exam.

This subject has been included in the curriculum of all prestigious schools and high schools that aim to become prestigious.

To sum it up in one word, it was ‘real-time data analysis’.

Learn how to fight irregulars and villains by analyzing the data accumulated by heroes in real battles.

It was an important subject in a prestigious school that nurtures future heroes.

However, it was also a notorious subject for students for its ridiculously difficult difficulty.

In the first place, it was different from the general curriculum, so even students with excellent grades in other written subjects had trouble with this skill application subject.

And Chae Hee-rin was no exception in that respect.

＜4＞

A few hours ago, Cheongmyeong High School.

“Now, Chae Heerin.”

At the dry voice of her homeroom teacher, Chaehee-rin went to the front of her classroom and received her report card.

Mock exams are held every two weeks in Cheongmyeong. Of course, it doesn’t affect grades, but it was also an indicator that could guess the results of the midterm and final exams.

‘… Is this all?’

After returning to her seat and looking through her report card, Chaehee-rin frowned when she saw the score written for her ability application course.

I got close to perfect marks in other subjects, but only barely passed a failing grade in the application of my abilities.

Even though I studied until my nose bleed last winter, I could only get a score like this.

“Now the midterm exam is right around the corner.”

The homeroom teacher who handed out all the report cards said, tapping her desk.

“Well, since it is a written test, there is no need to feel pressured, but don’t take it too lightly so that you can get a proper grade. In particular, I hope you will pay attention to all of the skill application subjects. And… “

The homeroom teacher paused for a moment, then put her strength into her voice and opened her mouth again.

“After the midterm exam, there is a practical exam. Everyone knows, right?”

“Yes!”

“It’s different from when I was in first grade, when the kids were playing house. The sophomores are also paying attention to the outside ‘guild’. So that everyone can do their best not to tarnish the name of Cheongmyeong.”

“Yes!”

Perhaps liking the way her classmates answered in unison, the homeroom teacher nodded her head up and down her and left her classroom.

It was only then that the atmosphere in the classroom, which had been hardened, began to relax a little.

Chae Hee-rin is now preparing to return, but several people’s shadows have fallen over her.

“Oh, Heerin. Are you going back already?”

‘… Ha.’

From noble mtl dot com

Chaehee Rin raised her head as she clicked her tongue inside her.

A woman with her blonde hair rolled into a bun looked down at her Chae Hee-rin with her arms crossed.

Behind her, her followers, female students, spread out to the left and right like wings.

“Is something wrong, Victoria?”

“There is no particular problem. I was a little curious about Heerin’s grades as class president.”

“… I don’t really want to show it.”

Chaehee Lin protested timidly, but she opened her bag and soon her report card floated into the air by itself. The report card, which flew through the air thanks to the telekinesis of one of her followers, fell into Victoria’s hands.

“Oh my, Heerin is really good at studying. Almost everything is perfect. Amazing. Hmm. But the most important skill application is how about grades?”

An overtly sarcastic tone.

If it had been Chae Hee-rin from a while ago, she would have grabbed Victoria’s hair and burned it at this point.

Chae Hee-rin and Victoria have a famous rivalry in Cheongmyeong.

Normally, they were fighting with each other sincerely over trivial issues, but lately, Victoria has been unilaterally arguing with Chae Hee-rin.

“… This mock test was pretty easy, but this is a good score. Perhaps this time, the ability application will fail. That’s right, Heerin.”

“So, what do you mean?”

“Ah no yi? Anything? I was just asking because I was curious. Do you have any qualifications, Heerin?”

Victoria’s words caused her followers to giggle.

She openly declared that she would fight, but Chae Hee-rin didn’t really think about responding to it.

“Okay then. See you tomorrow, Victoria.”

Chaehee Lin snatched her report card from Victoria’s hand, and she immediately got up from her seat with her bag on her back.

“Wait, Heerin Chae! Hey!”

Victoria shouted something, but Chae Hee-rin ignored the voice and ran out of her classroom.

As she passed through the school gate and came out to the street, Chae Hee-rin stared blankly at her crumpled report card in her hand.

The next moment, her report card seems to be engulfed in flames, but it turns to ashes in an instant and blows away in the wind.

‘Haa…Why am I like this these days?’

Chaehee Rin is a hard-working girl who has risen from the bottom of her life to the position of a promising youngster on her own.

She is the worst of all evil, doing her best in everything she does, and giving back as much as she received.

It was the first time in her life that even her Chae Hee-rin had felt her pulse like this.

She is so energetic that she doesn’t even have the motivation to respond to Victoria who challenges her to a fight.

After the day she fought against the Zetas family as a member of the special unit, Chaehee and Rin were almost in this state.

‘It’s difficult to do this even during the practical exam’

Chae Hee-rin was able to rise to her current position because she was Cheongmyung, who placed the highest priority on skill. If Chae Hee-rin doesn’t deliver her proper performance, her cheong-myeong will take back what he gave her.

That was difficult for Chae Hee-rin in many ways.

“First of all, the thing in front of you.”

Chae Hee-rin muttered as if she had promised herself.

If she doesn’t do well in practical writing, she has to make up for it a little with writing.

Chae Hee-rin headed to a nearby fast food restaurant.

After she settles into a seat by the window on the second floor, she pours a large order of fries onto her tray.

Actually, she said that Chaehee and Rin didn’t have to study at a fast food restaurant like this. She said the facility inside Qingming was much quieter and tidier.

But she said that when Chae-rin was in her exam period, she always dared to come to this place.

‘Hmm. Good. I’m a little bit motivated.’

Chaehee Lin took out from her bag a textbook for the ability application course and a test paper from her last mock exam.

She then starts moving her pen as she puts her fries little by little into her mouth.

In the meantime, the fast food restaurant was crowded with her customers, but Chae Hee-rin paid no attention to it and focused on her studies.

But that’s only for a while.

Soon after, Chaehee-rin’s pen dropped and she stopped moving.

‘Aren’t you crazy? How can I solve this?’

The problem is too difficult. Problems that require a deep understanding of the field that cannot be solved by simple memorization.

Other students seemed to be receiving remote tutoring from incumbent heroes by paying huge amounts of money, but Chae Hee-rin couldn’t afford that much.

Still, she tried to get tutoring this semester, even if it was too much…

‘I’m crazy. Why did he ask to go to such an expensive restaurant?’

Her bluffing in front of Suisei last time became a stumbling block. Even if she wasn’t just spending then, borrowing money here and there somehow…

Well, at least it’s in the past.

Chaehee Rin let out a deep sigh, stretched her body once more to change her mood, and looked around her.

She then met her eyes with a man whose face was familiar somewhere.

“… Ugh”

This is the guy I met in the specialties department.

Obviously the name… Was it Lee Si-hyuk?

The last time I saw him, he had messy, messy hair, but now he’s got a decent look.

Chae Hee-rin hasn’t been to the special unit since her last incident.

She would be reluctant to go if Joo Joo-yeong called, but she had no intention of getting involved any further than that.

That’s why Chaehee Rin turned her head straight away to avoid her gaze, but Lee Si-hyuk approached her without notice and greeted her.

“Huh! Long time no see!”

“… Ha.”

Chaehee Rin let out a deep sigh, not hiding her displeasure. However, Lee Si-hyeok didn’t care and put his butt on the seat in front of her.

“Can I sit down?”

“I have already sat down… hahahaha that’s okay.”

Looks like they came to grab a bite to eat. When I finish eating, I’ll go back on my own.

“Okay. Eat quickly and leave.”

“Oh, thank you.”

When Chaehee-rin said that reluctantly, Lee Si-hyeok nodded her head generously and put her hamburger into his mouth.

Watching her happily eating, Chae-hee-rin felt the urge to burn a little of Lee Si-hyuk’s hair.

She’s been a mess since the last incident. The person who actually provided the cause had such a calm attitude.

‘… Let’s ignore ignore.’

Chae Hee-rin forcibly turned off Lee Shi-hyeok and decided to focus on the problem again.

A question to describe in as much detail as possible the team composition and code of conduct for ‘When the Irregular Uses Civilians as Shields in the City’.

She stared intently at the question… But suddenly the answer was muddy and couldn’t come to mind.

‘I’ve never been taught this kind of problem.’

We learned about the types of irregularities and how to respond to them.

In general, I also know how heroes form a team.

However, the class never taught me how to respond to this specific situation.

This kind of problem is a problem in which you cannot even get a hint to the correct answer without experience in the field.

In order to overcome this weakness, Chae Hee-rin entered the special unit, but she didn’t even call in after the operation failed.

She only resurrected her self-trauma, which she had almost forgotten about at best.

‘It’s all because of this guy.’

Chae Hee-rin somehow blamed Lee Si-hyeok for all the problems.

If Lee Si-hyeok hadn’t been paying attention to Paulo’s words there, if she hadn’t asked Chae Hee-rin to trust only herself and use his powers.

After passing the skill application test moderately, she would have been able to show a good figure in practical skills.

Whether or not he knew Chae-hee and Rin’s heart, Lee Si-hyeok finished the meal in an instant and slowly wiped the oil on his hands with a tissue.

“If you’ve finished eating, why don’t you just go around and go quickly.”

“No, because I’m planning to go study too.”

“… Is this my seat?”

“It’s the same specialty.”

Looking at Lee Si-hyeok, who was talking kindly, Chae-hee-rin let her heart out of her mouth.

“… Worst.”

“That sounds a bit harsh. Well, it would be nice to study together. We can tell each other things we don’t know about.”

“You? Who?”

“Yes. That’s you, of course. From the looks of it, it seems that the problem has been blocked from before.”

Lee Si-hyeok said that and poked his head over Chae Hee-rin’s test paper.

‘Well, there are all these guys.’

The quantity and quality of learning at school are different for people from prestigious backgrounds.

In particular, ‘application of ability’ is a subject that is not even taught in the normal school where Lee Si-hyeok is attending.

I’m sure this guy knows that too.

“Slowly moderately-.”

“What?”

Chae-hee-rin, who was about to get angry at her to stop interfering with her, stopped talking about Lee Si-hyuk’s words.

“That is a very easy problem.”

“… What?”
