The Academy Heroines Remember My Death

Chapter 13: The Beginning of the Second Exam

The Beginning of the Second Exam

You have to be fucking kidding me.

This was completely absurd.

Bribing him to pass the exam?

What kind of bullshit is this?

So thats why.

The question I had back then was finally resolved.

What happened in my previous life?

Ha-eun, who in terms of stats and combat sense, was amongst the top of the academy applicants barely passed the second exam with 3 wins and 2 losses was highly questionable.

Back then I thought she just had a stroke of bad luck,

Thats why she couldnt win. How could she win when the professor was doing this kind of shit?

The exam proctor himself was helping that guy pass the test,

So this would be difficult to overcome, even for someone like Ha-eun.

Even if he was a piece of shit, he was still a professor at the academy and a 4th Stage Awakener.

If that professor helped the people who bribed him,

Ha-eun, who was still a 3rd Stage Awakener, would surely struggle.

The difference between a 1st and 2nd Stage Awakener was insignificant,

But the difference between a 3rd and 4th Stage Awakeners was like night and day.

Do I catch him now? Or not?

I caught him in the act.

They were exchanging a bribe right now,

So I could catch them red-handed if I deactivated my [Stealth].

But

No, I need more evidence.

I have to remember that I was inside the academy.

Even if I were the catch them right now,

I didnt have anyone in the academy to back me up.

I wasnt talking about having someone like Ha-eun on my side, but rather someone that held actual power inside here.

So, even if I were to pry into this case,

There was no way for me to solve it if the parties involved acted as if they didnt know.

It may raise some suspicion in other people,

But that was about it.

I needed concrete evidence,

I need a trap that no one, regardless of how much power they held within the academy, could escape from.

A clumsy trap would just make them more alert when they pull shit like this again.

It was better to take advantage of their carelessness.

And if I catch this guy in the act, Im sure that guy, the school president or whoever he is, would react.

Despite the fact that I had made my presence known to the academy, that asshole hadnt reacted,

It was clear that he couldnt touch me just yet.

And if he couldnt touch me,

I would have to make him react.

There was no point in trying to delay the inevitable.

It was time for the second exam.

During this exam, I would bring these bastards to their knees.

No matter what it takes.

With that thought, I took out my cell phone.

***

Ive been in the academy for years, but Ive never seen the magic orb break during the entrance exam Isnt it the same for all of you?

-fr

-too much too much too much

-I mean, has it ever been broken without the use of sheer force?

Inside the exam hall for the second exam.

Mane also moved to continue the stream.

The number of viewers tuning in kept rising due to the unbelievable event that had happened during the first exam.

Even though it was an official stream, Mane grinned as she saw the number of views increase.

Ahem! This is going to be one of the best entrance exams ever! In the second exam, there will be people who, unfortunately, fail to enter the academy, so I think it will be more exciting. Dont you all agree?

However, she couldnt make it obvious,

So as a somewhat professional streamer, she managed to keep a poker face.

It wouldnt matter for some other stream, but this was an official one.

Some people might have tuned in to see her, but there were way more people who were interested in the entrance exam itself.

She couldnt speak too much about herself,

So she naturally moved on to talking about the second test.

The second exam is a 1-on-1 battle! Theyre going to battle against people in this exam hall, with the opponents being randomized every time!

-battles are the fundamentals

-watching fights is fun

-I personally want Ha-eun to face that guy that broke the orb I wonder who would win

And as if her choice to talk about things related to the academy struck a chord with the viewers,

The chat started to turn into a heated discussion about the second exam.

Mane continued as she looked at the chat.

There will probably be a variety of battles! During the random battles, if a candidate gets three wins before they get three losses, they pass the second exam!

-then does that mean that two people are gonna pair up and compete until one side wins 3 times?

-No, it means the opponents will change every battle.

-In the worst case they will have to battle five times. must be a pain in the ass damn

-then how many are eliminated here?

Some viewers werent able to understand what was being said, fortunately, there were some viewers who were kind enough to explain it to them.

Since it was best to let chat carry on when it was in this state.

She decided to just continue the stream by answering some of the viewers questions as they appeared in chat.

There was still some time to kill until the battles started anyway.

And as she was reading chat, a viewer asking how many people were going to be eliminated caught her eye.

She thinks she should answer that,

There are 560 applicants this time around so at the very least 140, and 280 at the highest, I think.

-just your assumption?

-I think shes making a calculation

-no I calculated and shes right

-Where is Mane, what did you do with her

She just answers without a thought.

However, the viewers were surprised by her unexpected answer. After all, she usually gave off a slightly dumb aura whenever she streamed, rather than a smart one.

Of course, she knew it was best to be honest when streaming,

But the only reasons her streams had become as popular as they had were due to her slightly dumb image.

So she knew more than anybody that she shouldnt be answering this kind of question except,

No way, again

Her mind was a cluttered mess ever since she saw that thing during the tests.

She tried to be as professional as she could,

But if she wasnt mistaken, she wouldnt be able to continue streaming, so she couldnt help but be anxious.

Hahaha, I just said that without thinking. I never would have imagined it would be right. There is no way I would get that right, right?

So she decided to just lightly brush it off.

There was bound to be more suspicions if she reacted too seriously.

So she just answered jokingly so that nobody would think it was strange,

-yeah true lol

-fr lol

Fortunately, it seems to go along smoothly.

And on top of that,

Oh my! Everybody! It seems the first battle is about to start.

As if on cue, the first battle seemed like it was about to start

It was perfect timing,

So Mane immediately turned the camera towards the battle.

And,

Its that person from the first exam. The person who broke the magic ball.

The opponent that came out for the first battle was the male student that was receiving even more interest than Ha-eun.

The person facing that student wasnt anybody who stood out in particular,

But the fact that they would be able to see the male student who drew even more attention than Ha-eun in action was enough for it to become a hot topic for discussion.

-fuck, im so curious to see how hes gonna fight

-itll be better if his opponent can endure it

-the magic orb only evaluated potential so he could still lose right? he could still be weak

-year youre right

The chat seemed very excited as the man named Si-woo came into the arena.

Discussion began to pour out about whether he could win or not. And if he did, how would he do so?

And a judge came out shortly after to quell their questions.

Nice to meet you, students. As I introduced myself earlier, I am Park Ki-yeol, a professor of Magic at this academy. I will be taking the role of proctor during the second exam, Thank you.

The professor greeted the students with very polite words.

After the greeting,

The professor, without hesitation, started the battle between the two students.

-WOAHH ITS STARTING!!

-it seems theyre both holding swords

-Swords are fundamental!

As the two students readied themselves for battler, following the professors instructions, the viewers fell into a state of extreme excitement

Of course, it was the same with Mane.

She believed that this battle was more important than anything else.

?

However, as the battle progressed, Mane became speechless.

Forgetting she was streaming,

She watched the battle in bewilderment.

And that applied to not only the other people here, but also the viewers watching from the comfort of their own homes.

What is that?

What do most people think when they hear the word battle?

That the two people battling,

Compete with one another in a contest of skill.

That was common sense,

Until the first 3 seconds, everybody thought that would be the way it would pan out.

The applicant named Si-woo approached his opponent very quickly, after all.

So they all thought it would be a fierce close-quarters battle.

But what Si-woo did right after was beyond their imaginations.

Because,

Hes clearly aiming at the professor, right?

Si-woo quickly grabbed his opponent.

And after throwing him at the professor,

Large Explosion

He used a skill that caused a giant explosion.

Clearly aiming at the professor.
