Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

90. Final exam 2nd practical test

#90. Final exam 2nd practical test

Cynthia’s status within the Academy was extraordinary.

Through this final exam, her already high status has been raised to another level, and now Cynthia has become an unapproachable being and someone who should never be touched.

Looks, skills, and sincerity.

A perfect beauty with everything.

Even though she had all the qualities that would make her popular, no one approached Cynthia.

To put it simply, it meant that I had no friends.

That is, Cynthia was an asshole.

Cynthia wasn’t a shy girl from the beginning.

I had a few friends with whom I could chat, and we often hung out after work.

However, after meeting Han Seong-jin and pouring everything into her training, at some point, all of her friends around her completely disappeared.

It wasn’t just about spending time practicing silk.

If that’s the case, there’s no reason for the male cadets not to approach Cynthia.

The fundamental reason she became an outsider was because of Han Seong-jin.

Any male students who approached her were blocked by the instructors. If that didn’t work, they would go after the principal, and the principal would go after the instructors, so there was no way any male students would approach Cynthia.

Moreover, since the son of a member of the National Assembly was also forced to transfer schools, there was no one who would use their power to do anything to Cynthia.

Flowers on the cliff.

This was the word that best described Cynthia’s current condition.

A beautiful flower that blooms in a place that cannot be reached.

The cadets within the academy looked at Cynthia like that. She was a beautiful flower blooming in the distance.

And Lee Soo-hyuk was trying to pick that flower right now.

To be exact… it would be more accurate to say that he was trying to trample on them.

‘Cynthia… it’s annoying.’

It had to be you who was in the spotlight.

I wanted the picture to be one of setting new records, getting everyone’s attention, and renewing my contract at the highest salary ever.

But what about now?

There were a few guilds interested, but not a lot. It was just too little compared to what I expected.

Ares was also pressuring him through the poison clause he had hidden away.

To somehow tie himself to the guild.

If Ares had succeeded in completely imprinting his presence on the other guilds through his overwhelming performance, he would not have been able to show this kind of courage.

All of this was because of Cynthia who ruined his plans. That’s why Lee Soo-hyuk was annoyed by Cynthia.

I was annoyed and wanted to break it.

‘This second practical exam… I was completely trampled.’

He was lucky. No, in a way, it was natural. Cynthia was the only person on the same level as him. Unless the judges were blind, they had no choice but to match him up with Cynthia.

***

The main gate of the Academy.

There were heroes standing guard and a large crowd of people watching.

The heroes were checking the identities of the people waiting in line and letting them in.

Anyone could enter, but only those with confirmed identities were allowed in.

“Could you please show me your identification?”

“Hmm… Are you a foreigner?”

“No. I’m Korean. When did you become a naturalized citizen?”

“Ah… Excuse me.”

The hero standing guard at the academy bowed his head as he looked at the blond foreigner.

He speaks fluent Korean, and when I checked his ID, there was nothing strange at all.

Foreigners need to be blocked because there is a concern that they will drain promising academy talent overseas, but there was no reason not to let Koreans in.

“The next one is… Yoonhyuk… Kwon? Seo, no way…?”

The guard looked back and forth between the ID and the faces of the visitors, seemingly incredulous.

‘The 7th generation of the clan are coming to observe in person…?’

Usually, when the 7th generation of a family was reached, it was common to send a subordinate rather than come in person for the sake of appearances.

In that respect, Yoon Hyuk-kwon’s appearance was unusual.

Because none of the other heads of households had visited the academy.

“Can I come in?”

“Ah, yes! Hero Yun Hyuk-kwon! It’s an honor to meet you!”

The hero on guard saw Yun Hyuk-kwon, the head of the Seven Great Families and a top-tier hero, and he moved quickly and opened the door right away so that he would not feel uncomfortable.

“You’ve worked hard too. I’ll go in now.”

“yes!”

Grace and Yoon Hyuk-kwon entered the academy smoothly, leaving behind the loudly shouting security guards.

They planned to pretend to observe the exam and cause various troubles within the academy.

Two days left until the event.

In two days, Cynthia will be dead.

***

Rather than wandering around the academy, I stayed in one place. The fight between Ilwolyunga and Jusijja was not over yet.

In that sense, there was a possibility that security issues would arise when walking around complex streets.

It wasn’t that I doubted the bodyguards’ skills or anything, but I was especially careful because Yun-ga and Joo-soo were no ordinary guys.

‘It’s still quiet, Joo Si-Ja and Yoon Ga… What on earth are they thinking? Are they plotting something behind the scenes?’

They planted a spy, but no useful information came in. Judging from the fact that they were unable to properly track Yoon Hyuk-kwon’s movements, it seemed that they were also aware of the spy and were hiding information.

This is a little bit difficult… .

‘Hmm… Let’s just move on for now. Even if they go crazy, I don’t think they’ll do anything wrong within the Academy.’

The Academy could be seen as a kind of sanctuary that should not be touched. It is an educational institution that holds the future of a nation. If you touch this place, all government agencies and associations will step forward and hang the person who caused it. They will kill him by any means, whether it is socially or in reality.

This is especially true during final exams, when the public’s attention is focused.

Unless they go crazy, they won’t cause any problems at the Academy during this period.

“Okay. Then I should just watch comfortably… Where should we watch the Sia game… In an hour?”

On the 2nd and 3rd days of the practical test, the second practical test is conducted.

Because the match is played 1:1, it takes a long time, so the period was set to 2 days.

“For now, let’s take a look at the other guys. Hmm, is there anything worth seeing… Joo Se-rin?”

I looked for Joo Se-rin’s name in the list of examinees about to begin, and manipulated the screen to bring up the examination room where she was.

Then two female cadets appeared on the screen. There were still a few minutes left before the test began. The two were currently warming up by stretching.

One of them was obviously Joo Se-rin, and the other one was…someone I was seeing for the first time.

“Haseon-ah?”

[ Joo Se-rin (3rd) vs. Ha Seon-ah (5th) ]

Ha Seon-ah, 5th place, 2nd year at the Academy.

She was Joo Se-rin’s opponent.

‘Ah… Now that I think about it, she was also the heroine. I forgot.’

There are three heroines in the same class as Akadogshiki.

Cynthia, Joo Se-rin, and Ha Seon-ah.

First, he gets involved with Joo Se-rin, then Ha Seon-ah, and then Cynthia. Originally, I thought Lee Soo-hyuk and Ha Seon-ah were supposed to get matched up and start their relationship… but it seems like things have changed a lot.

‘Ha Seon-ah is also very strong… Will Joo Se-rin be able to deal with her?’

Ha Seon-ah is what is commonly called the third generation of a conglomerate.

She is also the granddaughter of Ha Hyeon-ho, who founded the large corporation ‘Ilseong’.

Her family had fame and power that rivaled the Seven Great Families, and with that wealth, she grew up taking all kinds of elixirs from a young age.

If you look at it up to this point, you will see that it is no different from the children of ordinary noble families. No, if you think about the qualifications, you will think that it is more ordinary.

From noble mtl dot com

But, Ha Seon-ah was different.

‘I didn’t know because it was my first time seeing it.’

Ha Seon-ah, who originally studied heroism abroad, returned to Korea before the end of the first semester and was specially admitted to the ‘Academy’.

And from then on, it quickly rose through the ranks, garnering the attention of numerous instructors and guild officials.

‘I don’t know because Joo Se-rin has also performed many communist ceremonies. Hmm…’

In the original, Ha Seon-ah pushed Lee Soo-hyuk hard during this period. Right up until the moment he was about to lose.

If Lee Soo-hyuk hadn’t shown his wit and taken a gamble at that time, the victory would have gone to Ha Seon-ah.

I held my head and thought seriously.

Who will win?

Joo Se-rin? Or, Ha Seon-ah?

Tiring. The phone rang.

[ Please select your betting target ]

It was a message to decide which of the two would win.

In this world, such predictions of the outcome are treated as legal, similar to sports betting.

Instead, what was different from the original world was that… here, there was no upper limit to the amount of money that could be thrown away.

By the way, this was recently introduced and this was my first time doing it.

“Yeah. Okay… Okay. That’ll work.”

I muttered to myself as if answering a message, then made a decision.

” Joo Se-rin vs. Ha Seon-ah “

[ Bet: 100,000,000,000 won ]

[ Target: Joo Se-rin ]

[ Magnification: 2.14 ]

One hundred billion won.

That was the amount I bet in one match.

I wanted to put in more money, but I stopped because the odds would go down if I put in more than this.

‘Let’s go, Joo Se-rin Coin!’
