The Academy Heroines Remember My Death

Chapter 12: Corrupt Admission

Corrupt Admission

?

Inside the now completely silent auditorium, Seo-ah made her way to me with light steps,

Seo-ah looked at me with a shocked expression.

H-How did you do that?

Stuttering, she pointed at the shattered magic ball with trembling hands.

E-Even if you are S-class, that thing cannot be broken by just touching it? Have you become stronger than

No, not at all. Its just a trick, a trick. However, its one only I can use.

Pardon?

But I guess its not just a trick anymore.

What?

Seo-ah made an expression as if she couldnt understand a thing.

Well, it didnt matter if you dont understand. After all, I felt like I was going crazy with excitement from just looking at my status window.

In fact, if one saw my status window,

[Status window]

Name: Park Si-woo

Level: 31 (2nd Stage Awakener)

Status: Excited

[Strength: 10] [Stamina: 1] [Agility: 1] [Magic: 28] [Luck: 22]

(Remaining attribute points are 36.)

Skills:

Ability Copy(S) Magi Manipulation(S) Large Explosion(B) Magic Manipulation (E) Continuous Slash(D) Chaotic Slash(B) Small Flame(D) Shockwave(C) Ice Charge(C) Stealth(B) [See more]

There were so many skills that my window had a see more function. It was a situation where I got dozens of skills

It was clear that it would take a long time just to check all the skills I had acquired.

Still, its less than I expected.

As my excitement subsided, I started to think rationally again.

There were at least 300 people in the auditorium.

So, there were at least 300 people I could have acquired skills from.

But I only got around 100.

Maybe its because they didnt all feel a sense of inferiority.

There were people that felt a sense of inferiority from watching something absurd. But conversely, there would be people that would have a positive mindset and there would also be those that truly congratulate me.

And as if to prove that,

Wow!

I could feel Ha-euns admiring gaze in the distance since a little while ago. It was to the point where it was starting to become burdensome.

Rather than a sense of inferiority, it looked like her desire to fight me had risen even more. In that case, I couldnt copy her skills.

Still, I should be satisfied with this.

After all, this wasnt the only chance I would get.

I would be able to copy the skills of others in the future.

If I thought about it in the long run, this wasnt such a big loss.

But there will be no need to pay for that, right?

Seo-ah pointed at the broken magic ball and asked as if had decided she wouldnt get an answer anyway.

Considering its price, she asked me with a hint of worry in her tone.

As a matter of fact, the people handling the exams looked at the broken ball and looked as if they didnt know what to do.

Its fine. They cant tell me to pay them back right away.

Of course, my actual potential was D-class,

But the grade these people were going to give me right now was S-class, or even higher.

In a world where very few S-class hunters even exist, would they turn me into an enemy over a simple magic orb?

Knowing them, they must be thinking of a way to use me.

And how they could extract ever more out of me.

Of course, if they determined that they couldnt handle me, like in my previous life, they would dispose of me one way or another.

But they wouldnt antagonize me for the time being.

Well, even if they do,

They ask me for compensation, theres evidence that I dont need to.

I did this because I knew there was a way out.

Of course, the money I made from stocks would be enough to pay them back, but I didnt even want to give them a single cent. With this in mind, I had already thought up a solution.

To be precise, by recording the voice of that lady handling the exams.

[Ah Yes. Well, even if you break it, we will consider it a part of the test, so we wont ask you for compensation]

As soon as I picked up my phone and pressed the play button on the recorded file,

You could hear exactly what she said.

She said that since this was a test, they wouldnt ask for compensation.

Not only that, but I think the camera over there was streaming all of this,

So I didnt think the worlds largest academy would say two opposing things with one mouth.

Wow you have become quite thorough.

And as soon as she listened to the recording,

Seo-ah looked at my phone with an expression of amazement.

This is nothing. This is just the start if I want to destroy this place.

This couldnt even be considered the beginning.

I didnt want to just destroy the academy physically. If I wanted the world to know the truth about this academy, this much was nothing.

I have to act with confidence to be able to destroy this place.

Ahem. It is a pleasure to meet all those who applied to our academy. I am Park Ky-yeol, professor of magic at this academy.

And not long after reassuring Seo-ah, the professor came into the auditorium.

The professor drew the attention of the students and introduced himself as the professor of magic.

Since something like this has never happened, we will put the preliminary test using the magic ball on hold for now. Now then, lets move on to the next one.

He mentioned that if testing became impossible during a particular exam, they would simply move on to the next one.

With those words,

The professor clearly glared at me.

He didnt say anything in particular, but it seemed like he was quite upset that their precious magic ball was broken now.

But all I could do was smirk at the sight of him.

What you gonna do about it?

Maybe if it was someone else, but this bastard didnt have the right to glare at me.

After all, didnt they buy that ball through the exploitation of students, anyway?

Well, Im willing to compensate the students who were exploited in my own way,

But that bastard got this for free without any effort on his part, so what right did he have to glare at me?

Especially Park Ki-yeol

That bastard,

He was a professor of magic at this academy,

And one of the most money-obsessed bastards around.

***

Si-woo? Where are you going? Shouldnt you be heading to the exam hall?

Ah, there is somewhere I need to go for a bit. Go in first. Ill be there in a bit.

While walking to the second exam hall.

Normally, I would have headed there like the other students.

However,

Ill check one thing before I go.

Just one thing.

I needed to confirm one thing I had been curious about in my previous life.

Back then, it was just a suspicion,

I didnt really have evidence for it, but

As for evidence, I just need to search for it.

If I had no evidence, I just needed to find it.

I just lightly told Seo-ah to go first,

Then please be quick. If you are late, you will be in trouble.

Okay.

She just agreed and let me go.

It was good that Seo-ah was quick-witted with things like this.

Then, shall I go.

I checked my skill window and looked through the skills I had.

I should have at least one skill I could use in the current situation.

And,

Found it.

I found a skill that said [Stealth(B)] in the skill window.

I checked that skill properly,

[Skill: Stealth]

Grade: B

-Consumes mana to become invisible to others.

-Hides ones presence.

-This skill is ineffective against those with high-level detection skills.

It felt like it was lacking a little,

Still, for a skill that was only B-class, it was quite useful.

I immediately used that skill to conceal myself.

That bastard, he just had to be here.

Professor of magic, Park Ki-yeol.

Even in my previous life, that bastard was the proctor of the second exam

It would be the same this time.

And if my assumption was correct

That bastard was going to ruin the fairness of the second test.

There he is.

It wasnt difficult to find a professor among countless students anyway, so I found the professor quickly.

But,

What is he doing?

Like a thief whos hiding something, he kept on looking around.

Soon after, he went into a corner without any people around.

That bastard, he shouldnt have any detection skills, right?

Before I followed him, I made sure that I wouldnt get caught and checked his status window with the [Eye of Greed].

[Status window]

Name: Park Ki-yeol

Level: 94 (4th Stage Awakener)

Status: Expectant

[Strength: 43] [Stamina: 54] [Agility: 37] [Magic: 100] [Luck: 5-]

(Remaining attribute points are 0.)

Skills:

Advanced Stamina Buff(A+) Advanced Strength Buff(A+), Advanced Agility Buff(A+) Advanced Magic Buff(A+) Mana Sculpture(A) [See more]

Even after checking the skills on [See more],

I couldnt find any detection skills.

So, I follow him confidently.

Then, not long after, a person who looked like a student appeared.

He looked about my age and was holding a briefcase in his hand, which looked heavy at a glance.

On top of that, something that looked like a bill was slightly sticking out of the bag.

Honestly, there was no need for me to make an effort to see what it was.

Even from a distance, I could tell it was money.

And as soon as the student holding the money bag realized that the professor was there,

Here you are, professor. It really isnt much, but considering your reputation, I did my best to express my sincerity. This entrance exam, I look forward to your cooperation.

Hmm, hmm. You shouldnt have. Would it not be all based on skill? I wish you luck.

It was obvious he was getting a bribe.

With my eyes wide open,

I could see him just casually accepting a bribe right in front of me.

You have to be fucking kidding me.

You can rate this serieshere.
