「Tutorial Quest #1 – “Hello, world!”」

Participate in the He:on Hero Academy entrance exam.

-compensation: ???

“uh?”

When I opened my eyes, there was a translucent blue window floating in front of me.

I shook my head left and right several times, but the spear did not disappear before my eyes.

It’s like it’s engraved on my retina.

“What is this… ?”

My body shrank involuntarily in the cool winter wind.

The place where I am standing is in the middle of a crosswalk that has just turned red.

… This is not the small, cozy studio where I lay down.

Bread!

“what are you doing! Can’t you get out of here quickly?”

I hurriedly crossed the crosswalk at the angry shouting of an unknown driver.

By the way, why was I standing in the middle of the crosswalk?

My head was foggy, as if I hadn’t woken up.

I’m sure I’m reading a web novel on my smartphone before bed… .

“okay. A web novel I’ve been reading for a long time suddenly came to an end… .”

-At that moment, an assassin clad in black appeared. Kang Min-hyeok’s body was cut in two by the assassin’s sword, and he died.

＜End＞

The ending in which the main character is cut in two by the sudden intruding assassin’s sword.

It was such a beggarly ending that it would have been better not to have an ending.

The rice cakes were already sprinkled as they were to be sprinkled, and all I had to do was collect them slowly.

What the hell is going on in a writer’s head to come up with such an ending?

‘X-foot, but it’s not this ending.’

As soon as I read the final episode of the novel, I felt a sense of desolation. What followed was unbearable rage.

‘Do you think I read this novel to see an ending like this?’

I sent a long note to the author for the first time with that feeling as the driving force.

It’s already past midnight.

Although I didn’t send a note to the writer thinking of a reply.

-I never thought there would be readers who were so attached to my writing.

I was able to get a reply from the author right away.

It was quite unexpected that the reply came right away as he was a blunt writer who wrote only one word, ‘thank you’ even in the words of the writer.

-I think the ending of the novel I uploaded today was a bit harsh, as the reader said.

It wasn’t that that mattered.

next sentence.

-If you don’t mind, could you help me a little?

The writer asked me for help.

I also wanted to see the proper ending of this novel, so I readily agreed.

「Tutorial Quest #1 – “Hello, world!”」

Participate in the He-on Hero Military Academy entrance exam.

-compensation: ???

“30:00 remaining until the entrance exam… 29:59… 29:58」

“I’m still going to die of anxiety. What is this again?”

A blue window was added, cluttering my vision.

No matter how many times he waved, the spear did not disappear.

Rather, as if telling me to look carefully at myself, he was showing off his presence in the middle of my field of vision.

Only then did I read the writing on the blue window.

“Entrance exam? The hero academy that has been doing?”

familiar name.

Definitely a novel I read, a work that ended with that nonsense ending.

Appearing in ‘Academy Crazy Talent Transfer Student’… .

“Ugh… .”

The conversation with the artist that I shared while holding onto my smartphone with a sharp headache continued to come to my mind.

-What can I help you with?

I was a reader, not a writer.

I have never received a bronze medal from a school book review contest, let alone a local essay contest.

I loved reading novels, but I had no talent for writing.

However, I sent a positive answer thinking that a simple help could be given.

In those words, the author clearly… .

– It is often said that probability is important in novels. Help it not to be strange even if an assassin suddenly appears and splits the main character in half.

Yes, obviously he said that.

-Please, the reader, be that assassin.

My memory is cut off at the end of those words.

“… son of a bitch.”

The artist cheated me.

Are you saying you’re going to match the probability, throwing the reader right into the novel?

Not even the main character, but an assassin who has to kill the main character?

“I-I’m an assassin!!”

Unable to overcome his anger, he let out a roar.

After doing that, I felt a little better.

It was a bonus that people passing by the road looked at me with strange eyes as I roared in the middle of the road.

“He is a strange man.”

“You can’t use it if you learn from watching it. support, support. let’s go.”

I decided not to pay attention to the mother-daughter conversation.

Let’s go inside the novel.

I’m not going to do this.

「28:35 remaining time until the entrance exam…」 28:34… 28:33」

“caution! If you do not participate in the entrance exam, it may lead to a serious collapse of probability.”

All the while, time continues to shrink.

The moment the remaining time reached zero, I began to have a strong premonition that something bad was going to happen to me.

‘Just get out of here. I’m going to make the author’s waist into an ‘L’ shape.’

Even if you stay here, you can’t do anything, and nothing will change.

I shouted as I reached out for the road.

“taxi!”

The taxi stopped at my gesture.

“Please go to Heon Hero Academy.”

“Student, are you a student taking the Hero Academy exam?”

“Yes, it looks like that.”

“Isn’t it too late then?”

“There are roughly 28 minutes until late.”

“28 minutes? I can’t help it. Hold tight, students.”

The scenery beyond the fast-running taxi with the harsh exhaust sound was quite different from what I knew.

Airships fly high in the sky, and a six-legged horse-drawn carriage is running on the road next to it.

From far away, a huge tower that made you wonder if the perspective was broken, and a huge tree that was similar to it.

It’s exactly like reality, but a little different world.

A world in a novel where monsters exist, humans who have awakened special powers, and immigrants from other worlds live together.

I was thrown into such a world.

That too… As an assassin who has to kill the main character.

X-foot, my life.

* * *

“Student, work hard!”

「Time remaining until entrance exam 03:45, 03:44… 」

The taxi driver’s driving skills were an art itself.

I have never seen a taxi driver who drives so well in my life.

Maybe it’s the owner of the characteristics related to driving.

“The hero academy that has been here… .”

A gigantic educational facility with more land than most military bases.

The main background of the novel, a place where the main character and the heroines who adore him grow while working hard.

At the same time, I looked up at the pitiful building that was scheduled to be demolished three or four times in the future.

“under… .”

A white breath rose from the sigh that leaked out.

“A student?”

At the edge of the entrance, it was a female student wearing a yellow armband who finally spoke to me, wondering if I should go in.

“… Or, someone suspicious?”

“You are a student.”

He must be a senior at the Hero Military Academy who has been in charge of guiding test-takers.

Gray hair resembling the color of concrete was very impressive.

Naturally, my gaze was on her chest. To be precise, he headed for the name tag on the pocket of his uniform.

‘White glass?’

The name tag on the chest had the name ‘Baek Yu-ri’ written in three letters.

A pretty familiar name.

It even has characteristic gray hair.

If my memory isn’t wrong, the girl named ‘Baek Yuri’ in the novel… .

“Then, what about the exam ticket? You know you can’t come in without an exam pass, right?”

“Wait.”

I rummaged through my pockets and took out my admission ticket.

It was good to check the things in my pockets on the taxi ride.

To say the luggage he was carrying, he ended up with a thin wallet and an old terminal.

“It arrived in a hurry. The auditorium is over there. Don’t be nervous because it’s a test, just do what you practiced.”

“thank you.”

Hearing a word of encouragement, I put aside recalling information about Baek Yu-ri and hurriedly walked toward the auditorium.

「Time remaining until entrance exam 01:22, 01:21… 」

Even after passing the gate, the remaining time continued to decrease.

It seems that he has to enter the auditorium where the entrance exam is being held.

You can’t come all the way and fail by a few seconds.

「Quest cleared!」

“The compensation is settled.”

“Your traits are beginning to emerge.”

It’s not too late.

Fortunately, the distance from the entrance to the auditorium where the entrance ceremony was held was not too far.

It was an auditorium, but it was no different from a huge arena.

If there hadn’t been a sign saying ‘entrance exam center’, I might have missed it.

“The name… Are you a Hanzo student?”

“yes?”

“Aren’t you a Hanzo student?”

“… you’re right.”

It’s a name I checked once through my ID card, but it feels strange to hear someone else call me by that name.

My last name is ‘Han’. His name is ‘Jo’. Hanzo.

I wonder if this is a person’s name, but I can’t help it.

From now on, I’m Hanzo.

“Students are the last. Please take seat 2,431.”

“yes.”

I sat down in a chair and looked around.

Tens of thousands of students were already waiting for the entrance exam in the auditorium.

‘A familiar face… There is none.’

Only a handful of characters had official illustrations.

It was impossible to know the faces of the characters because the illustrations did not exist.

‘Fortunately, the writer seems to have spent some money, and he gave out illustrations of the main characters beyond the middle of the novel.’

Even if there were no illustrations, I would have been able to recognize the characters if they had unique characteristics that could not be confused with others.

At least in my field of vision, I didn’t see such a person.

Ding- Dong- Dang- Dong-

– I will start the written test.

Flutter~

At the same time as the announcement, a test paper suddenly appeared in the empty air.

Not only in my seat, but also on the desks of all examinees at the same time.

However, other students besides me accepted the sight as an extremely routine.

squeak- squeak-

Soon, only the sound of the pen solving the problem began to be heard.

It feels like my stomach hurts from the test after a long time.

I also looked at the test papers with the feeling that I should check the problem first.

Instructions for testing were written on the cover.

-Write your name and test number accurately in the relevant column on the question sheet.

-Please print the following phrases in the handwriting box on the answer sheet.

[The leaves were clearly licking the sunlight.]

-Write your name and test number in the relevant column on the answer sheet, and mark the test number and answer accurately.

There were notes that were not very different from what I knew.

I never thought I would feel the feeling of taking the CSAT again.

I turned over the cover and checked the first problem with the feeling that I should be as it should be.

“How are these freshmen?”

The written exam for the candidates is held on the first floor of the auditorium, and the examiners are on the upper floor. Examinee cheating is checked by looking down from the second floor.

A place where many children with special powers such as magic or psychic powers gather.

Cheating was also a frequent occurrence.

“Cheating 223, 450.”

It could not escape the eyes of the seasoned examiners.

Chun Yu-ran, who has been listed as an instructor at the heroic military academy, was also keenly detecting cheaters with her right eye without an eyepatch.

Sura lightsaber Chun Yu-ran.

A female swordsman who always appears when discussing the strongest of the current era.

For some reason, he had been withdrawn from the front lines, and now he was only a part-time instructor at the Heondo Hero Military Academy.

She yawned profusely, continuing to weed out the cheater.

‘Haa~ There are a lot of people who take it again this year.’

The level of the written test, which is the first entrance test for the Heondo Hero Military Academy, is very high.

It requires specialized knowledge in a specific field, but it was not uncommon for graduate school-level questions to be presented.

In the history of the Heondo Hero Military Academy, there were only a handful of students with perfect scores in the written test.
