Wizard Reading Patterns

Episode 20. Fair (2)

Superman entrance exam fairground.

The two first visited the Stella Academy booth.

“A lot of people. Let’s stand in line.”

Dante followed Alicia to the end of the line.

It was a crowded space where I felt like I had to wear a mask for some reason.

Maybe 30 minutes passed.

The booth finally caught my eye.

A middle-aged woman standing right in front looked at her son and talked.

“Isn’t that Jeremy Meyer over there?”

“It seems right.”

“Oh my gosh. How… … .”

Jeremy Meyer.

As the eldest son of the Mayer family, second in the superhuman hierarchy, he was also an actor who had been active since childhood.

Recently, a movie dealing with superhumans as the main character has been successful at the box office and has been running on the popular road.

The male student replied with a sullen expression.

“If you get to know him, he is a pitiful kid. The Meyer family sold their children to wash their image, to the public. They say that laughing and caring are all acting. In fact, he said he had a very dirty temper.”

slam!

The middle-aged woman slapped her son on the back and blinked his eyes. The male student shouted with an expression of regret.

“why!”

“I told you not to make fun of that mouth! What is your nature like? Do you think there’s a fair or a chance for people like us to run into the Meyer family?”

“whatever.”

“If you pass, you’re going to be friends no matter what.”

“How do I pass this place?”

“Why can’t you? why!”

“shocking. Why are you forcing your children to do things that even mothers couldn’t do? that’s abuse know?”

Alicia, who was watching from behind, nodded and whispered.

“Gorumgorum abuse. Why are you trying to achieve your dream through your children?”

After hearing it roughly, the middle-aged woman seemed to be a magician from a low-ranking academy.

Meanwhile, all the lines disappear.

The hat ahead entered the booth.

Jeremy Meyer smiled and reached out to the middle-aged woman.

“I think you came because of your son. Lady First. Come in.”

“Oh my. How. I’m a fan, Jeremy.”

Dante and Alicia followed and entered the booth.

Alicia said, pointing at Jeremy with the tip of her chin.

“You know Jeremy, right?”

“uh.”

It is a face that anyone who enjoys video media cannot recognize.

“I need to say hello for a while.”

Alicia took advantage of Jeremy’s brief break and ran to him.

“Hello, senior. My name is Alicia Smith of the 89th class.”

“uh? hi. you did a good job Are you pretty today?”

“… … Do you know me?”

“Of course you know. CPR, was that you?”

“Ah, that… … .”

“Don’t worry about bad comments. It’s just trash anyway. Do you understand what I mean, my lady?”

Jeremy was a popular actor, but he was also the most criticized actor.

The reasons were various, but in the end, the biggest reason was Jonathan Meyer, Jeremy’s 8th cousin. As a politician, he was caught up in a s*xual harassment scandal and was in prison.

Because of that, Jeremy was also caught and cursed. It was quite unfortunate for Jeremy, who had never met Jonathan Meyer face-to-face.

But what about the 4th degree and the 8th degree? People were just obsessed with Jonathan’s last name being ‘Meyer’. In fact, Jonathan Meyer had no contact with the Meyer family, who were second in the superhuman hierarchy, except for the fact that they had the same surname.

To be honest, Alicia said, ‘Hey, bloody souls.’ I did. I hadn’t looked for an article other than seeing it once. Besides, if you are mental enough to collapse from malicious comments, you won’t survive in the academy.

Still, Jeremy’s words were so warm, Alicia smiled and nodded.

“yes. I don’t care about bad comments. Because it’s Stella.”

“Yes, we are Stella.”

Dante watched them with a sad expression. What makes my stomach tingle. It reminded me of the grilled daechang I ate at the slaughterhouse recommended by Alicia.

‘You’re not Jeremy, but Daechang. A grubby child.’

Alicia came back and stood by Dante’s side. A smile bloomed across her face, not knowing what was so good about it.

“Is it good?”

“There isn’t a woman on earth who doesn’t like being called pretty. Whether it’s a mouthful or something, it’s nice to hear, right? Better than pooping with your snout, well.”

Alicia pulled out some brochures and handed them to Dante.

“This is all information you can search for. Still, the one who insists on coming is Jeremy… … . And do you see that woman over there?”

Dante turned his head in the direction Alicia pointed. Professor Jia Han was standing there.

“Professor Jia Han. he’s a very famous person Because when you come here, you can see such a celebrity right in front of you. That’s why you’re coming.”

“Only?”

At that time, Professor Jia Han turned her head.

Alicia bowed her head slightly.

From noble mtl dot com

Jia Han approached with a bright smile.

“Alicia. Is your hair still pink? And this… … because i don’t know the name Is it our old age?

“Oh, it’s Dante. Dante Prime.”

“Did you come?”

Alicia asked.

“professor. How do you know Dante?”

“I met you on the rooftop.”

“Rooftop? Professor, do you also buy Sunrise River Sky?”

“Yeah, I just moved.”

“Oh oh. Really? I live on the 99th floor.”

“okay? I’m on the 75th floor. If it’s okay, would you like to have a beer between the teachers and students?”

“It’s good, it’s good!”

Jia Han was an outstanding superhuman, comparable to BS, if not up to Bell Simon. Alicia wanted to establish a personal relationship with her.

Networking is important in any society.

Meanwhile, Dante had other thoughts.

’75th floor? I think he got off the 75th floor before… … .’

A male student who showed the same pattern as BS. He apparently got off the 75th floor.

‘Since the age difference is roughly twenty, he’s probably not a younger brother. hidden child? or disciple? Just a neighbor?’

It is very common for superhumans to train disciples. To be precise, I was invited as a private tutor by a prestigious family.

Anyway, I think it’s too early now.

If I see the boy again someday, I thought I should ask Jia Han.

I’ll have to talk to BS once.

Jia Han looked at Alicia and said.

“If you’ll excuse me, I’d like to introduce Dante to a model house.”

“Excuse me. I’m so grateful! Dante. Come visit the model house with the professor. Are you fine?”

“uh.”

Another fun of the fair.

The point is that you can see the dormitory model house. Approximately 80% of the superhuman academies were required to live in a dormitory.

Jia Han talked while going inside.

“The dormitories range from 4-person rooms to 1-person rooms.”

“Oh, do you have a single room?”

“sure. But the single room is only for upperclassmen. Freshmen and intermediate students can choose from four-, three-, or two-person rooms.”

No matter how brilliant a mage is, there are few cases where he does the mission alone. Cooperation and relationships with peers were one of the most important evaluation items.

The two entered a two-person model house.

“Is the dormitory really nice?”

“It’s because it’s decorated with full options. It’s not because we don’t have money that we make the room small.”

“Because when I go on a mission, I have to fight with my colleagues in a small space. Is that why?”

It is literally a battlefield.

No matter how well they are treated, they live together in a narrow barracks at the mission site.

Dante, looking around, stopped in front of the bed.

“wow. These are sleeping capsules, right?”

Jia Han tilted her head for a moment before continuing.

“that’s right. The advantage of our Stellar is that you can try out the finest sleeping capsules that are not yet on the market before anyone else.”

Even if the dorm is good, it’s so good.

From the finest sleeping capsules to electronic devices and premium wooden furniture.

Dante asked excitedly.

“All this for free?”

“Hmm.”

Jia Han let out an incomprehensible sigh.

“I made a mistake. I thought you knew roughly. The option inside the dorm is a personal choice. to pay for it.”

“Then how much are those capsules?”

Jia Han spread her two fingers.

“200 million?!”

“… … 2 billion. After all, you don’t have to do everything on the highest level, right?”

2 billion was never an expensive price for the rich. Why, don’t people who earn well earn hundreds of millions of dollars a day?

The sleeping capsule was a groundbreaking item that could provide quality sleep in a short period of time. What if you could spend more time at work instead of less sleep?

Even if you use it for a month, it was like drawing the main money.

“Then if it’s a full option… … .”

“It’s because sleeping capsules are particularly expensive, so 3 billion won is enough if you decorate everything.”

Grace’s voice shimmers.

「You will spend tens of billions at most until you graduate, right? 」

Oh, is that what you meant? want.

Dante asked.

“You don’t have to use sleeping capsules, do you?”

“Which model to use is your choice, but it is essential. We check the physical rhythm of our students during sleep.”

“ah… … .”

Jia Han saw Dante’s expression and continued.

“hmm… … AA would be a wise choice if you have to pay tuition or dormitory fees. Even though I am Professor Stella, am I a rational person?”

Jia Han was puzzled while explaining.

Why are you so surprised when you live in an apartment that costs 20 billion won?

The lowest price model for sleeping capsules is 5 million won. It was a price that even the middle class could afford. But Dante reacted as if he were seeing the sleeping capsule itself for the first time.

Of course, some people have an aversion to sleeping capsules. It felt a bit strange that it was the first time I even saw it.

Jia Han opened her mouth again.

“Hey, maybe. It’s because I don’t quite understand.”

“What?”

“No, it is. Living in the same apartment as me, he seems worried about money a lot. Do you have any circumstances?”

“hmm… … .”

“I guess I was too inquisitive. but i’m really curious What I’m curious about is because I can’t stand it. I’m sorry if you’re uncomfortable. You don’t have to answer, do you?”

“no. In fact, the house was saved by the sponsor.”

It is the law to increase one’s own value.

It seemed that there was no need to hide the fact that they were sponsored.

Jia Han’s eyes became sharp after hearing the story.

“Have you already found a sponsor?”

“Yes, I was lucky. Do you know the Versailles Research Institute?”

Jia Han let out a laugh.

“student. Are you kidding me?”

“… … yes?”

“Who doesn’t know the Versailles Laboratory, my God?”

I didn’t know about it for 15 years until I went.

But isn’t Jia Han a superhuman?

At least among active supermen, there was no one who was unaware of the Versailles Research Institute.

Jia Han asked again.

“Are you really sponsored there?”

It was hard to believe even when asked.

‘It’s not. There’s no way that stupid old man offered to spawn… … .’

Fred Cayley, director of the Versailles Institute.

he is not a superman

Even so, it was recognized as the ‘Wizard’s Tower’. The noble nobles recognized him as an ordinary person, not a superman. It was such a great thing that it caused social repercussions.

Fred didn’t trust anyone. He was a single-minded individual who believed only in his own values and spent his entire life in the lab. When he announced his marriage, no one believed it.

‘Isn’t that a talent that Fred recognized?’

The headlines to be scattered in the media are already flickering before our eyes.

“The first scholarship student at the Versailles Institute, entered Stella Academy! Competing with Jeremy Meyer? 」

“The choice of a genius recognized by the world’s best brain group… … ‘Stellar Academy’! 」

Jia Han calmed down her excitement for a moment and opened her mouth.

“Looks like I could write a letter of recommendation if you want.”

A young age in the late 30’s.

Nevertheless, Jia Han’s position within Stellar was considerable.

There were only 3 tickets for the ‘Professor Recommendation Screening’ assigned this time. One of them was held by Jia Han, and it was still there.

Dante pondered for a moment before opening his mouth.

“hmm… … I appreciate the suggestion, but I’ll just do it on my own.”

look at this guy

“I am not suggesting this to anyone. For students admitted with a letter of recommendation, tuition is ‘free!’ until graduation.”

Jia Han talked about ‘free’ with strength.

It was because I thought that he must be a child who is worried about money.

Sponsor contracts are also very different.

In case of only tuition fee support, only dormitory support, support for clothes, etc., support for only pocket money.

Judging from the boy’s attitude, there was a good chance that only the apartment he lived in was supported. Fred is a miser who never spends his money.

The case of Fred’s only daughter, Grace Kayley, being stabbed in the back by her sponsor was a well-known story among superhumans.

At the time, people predicted that Grace would hastily sign a sponsorship contract because of her father who did not support her at all.

Fred is such a person.

Dante shook his head for a moment.

‘Didn’t I say that the tuition for one semester here is 500 million won?’

The amount included the cost of maintaining the campus defense shield, the cost of practicing on an alien planet, and various teaching materials. Assuming that he graduates without pay, it is equivalent to 3 billion won in tuition alone.

Even if they receive tuition like this, they are always in the red. The rest were supported by the government and businesses.

“Can I think about it for a bit longer and then contact you?”

“How much time do you need?”

“I think it will take a week.”
