I Became an Academy Fraudster

Episode 20

I entered the classroom after barely leaving a fitness test that almost killed me.

As soon as you enter the classroom, what you see is a large poster attached to the class.

[ ‘Physical strength test’ result – 500th place – Nam Do-joon]

“Puhahahaha. He also finished last in the entrance exam, so did he finish last again? Amazing.”

“I looked and he didn’t even finish the long run.”

“How did you get into Elpon Academy? Did you take too many bribes?”

I lightly ignored the mocking stares of the children and sat down.

I really feel like dying.

Drreuk-

The homeroom teacher entered with the sound of the front door opening.

All eyes were on him.

“Starting the day after tomorrow, we have a match with the 2nd graders. Are you guys preparing well?”

There was a lot of tension in the children’s eyes.

“As you all know, this is also included in the evaluation, so please be careful. Of course, it’s not just about winning or losing. You will be evaluated on how outstanding you show during the sparring process. “

The 1st and 2nd year students will have exchange matches periodically.

In addition, the results of the exchange match will be reflected in the results.

Unsurprisingly, most of the first year students can’t beat the second year yet.

The most important factor in the evaluation is the student’s talent.

In other words, finding out how much growth potential you have is the key to this evaluation.

“Well, I think this is enough for the announcement of the annual match, and many guilds held counseling sessions at our academy today, so those who are curious should definitely visit.”

Many guilds hold briefing sessions as ‘Elpon’ Academy.

It’s as if they’re here to promote the briefing.

When you join our guild, you can enjoy these benefits, and you will receive this amount of salary.

While advertising this kind of thing, it is to attract excellent talent to their side.

After saying that, the homeroom teacher went outside.

****

Numerous guild booths are held in the playground.

[The rising guild ‘Come’ Guild Conference held.]

“Wow, does it really start with an annual salary of 300 million just by coming here?”

“Of course. We provide not only a salary, but also a house to live in when you come in.”

“Wow. Oh my god. Sister. Then I really want to go in here.”

“I also want students to come in. I’ll be waiting for you.”

At that time, he patted the student sitting in the booth consulting from behind.

“Hey.”

The student looked behind her.

“Why?”

“Look behind you.”

There was a huge line behind the student.

“Do it quickly and come out. You’ve been talking for 10 minutes by yourself.”

“Ah… Then see you next time noona!”

The student hurriedly got up.

[Current guild ranking No. 1 ‘Crystal’ guild held a guild briefing session]

Students could hardly approach the booth.

“Hey. Try running over there?”

“Ugh. Will you? Just looking at it, we are the entrance cut.”

“Ah. I want to go there, but the minimum annual salary starts at 500 million won.”

“I really envy you.”

In the booth, there was Kant, who was rumored to be a promising player in the second year.

“Student Kant, long time no see. You’ve been well, right?”

“Yes. I’m always fine. Is what you said before that true?”

“What?”

“If you sign a contract, you start with an annual salary of 500 million. It means that you can receive performance money separately.”

“Of course.”

“Has the guild leader ever said anything about me?”

Kant’s eyes twinkled.

“Ahahahaha… Of course, he is a candidate for our guild, and of course the guild leader is very interested.”

The counselor forced a smile.

This student is a candidate for the ‘Crystal’ guild.

Candidates are the guild’s pre-specified students.

It was so that they could be taken to the guild as soon as they graduated.

However, the guild leader had no interest in his candidates at all.

I don’t have any expectations placed on guys like that with no blood.

But… The guild leader said something strange these days.

Take a close look at Nam Do-yoon.

It was very unusual for someone who had no interest in students at all to show interest.

Come to think of it, he was also a student at the ‘Elpon’ academy, right?

The counselor spoke up.

“Over there. Do you know a student named Nam Do-yoon?”

“…Yes? Are you Nam Do-yoon?”

From noble mtl dot com

“You don’t know?”

“Yes, I’ve never heard of it before. Rather than that, why?”

The counselor tilted his head.

If the guild leader told you to keep an eye on him, he must have been quite a talent to stand out, right?

That’s strange.

“Nothing. Rather, Kant students, shall we talk more about the terms of our contract?”

“Yes. Great.”

[Hunter Association briefing held]

It was very cold in front of the booth.

Not a single student came.

The counselor shook his head shyly.

A woman approached in front of him.

“Oh! Welcome.”

The counselor greeted her with a bright smile.

“Uh… “

Looking at the face of the woman who had just entered, he made a puzzled expression.

“Ha Yeon-kun… ?”

“…….”

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at the empty booth without a word.

“Did you tell Dad that you are coming to a counseling session today?”

“No..I couldn’t deliver it.”

“It’s fortunate.. Dad won’t be hurt..”

“Doesn’t the government have any plans to increase subsidies?”

“Yes… I heard that it is difficult.”

Jeong Ha-yeon bit her teeth.

Unlike other guilds, the Hunter Association is operated purely with government subsidies.

If other guilds are private companies, the Hunter Association is a public company.

Once you join the Hunter Association, you are no different from a public servant who receives money from the government.

The problem is that when you join the Hunter Association, the money you receive is ridiculously small compared to other guilds.

Because there are restrictions and limitations on the money the government gives.

In contrast, other guilds rob their warehouses and provide huge salaries and welfare.

That’s why the students’ preference is focused on the guild, not the Hunter Association.

“Uncle. So, you haven’t recruited a single talent this time?”

“Yes… Lady, most of the students are driven by money or welfare.”

“……”

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at the other booths in silence.

The recently rising guild ‘Come’ was full of people.

To the point of fighting with each other because of the long waiting line.

There weren’t many people in the No. 1 ‘Crystal’ guild, but students who were rumored to be promising in the ‘Elpon’ Academy were receiving counseling.

Excellent students go to guilds with high rankings, and middle-ranking students enter promising guilds and aim for high salaries.

There was no place for the Hunter Association to stand.

“Why does the government say they can’t give subsidies? If the Hunter Association goes bankrupt, who will crack down on the alternative hunters committing crimes?”

“…It wasn’t like that in the past, but recently, all the outstanding students are joining guilds with high rankings. The government is questioning whether we can really control other guilds because our quality has deteriorated so much.”

“…..So that’s all it takes?”

“Yes? Yes. Ah.. It won’t be possible to solve it with just that, but at least you can ask the government to raise the subsidy.”

“Then we just need to prove that we haven’t deteriorated, right?”

“But…. How?”

Jeong Ha-yeon looked at Kant, a candidate for ‘Crystal’.

“Wouldn’t it prove that if I beat that person, there was no deterioration in quality?”

The man looked at Kant.

“…However, the difference between the skills of the first and second year girls is heaven and earth. Besides, I know Kant as one of the strongest among those second graders.”

“……”

“No matter how good the young lady is, it is still impossible. If the young lady becomes a sophomore, he’s a good enough opponent to beat, but not yet.”

“Then what do you do? Are you trying to die with no new inflow because you can’t receive subsidies?”

“My lady….”

****

Time has come to an end.

“Come on. You worked hard today too.”

The homeroom teacher said.

Soon he posted a large poster in front of him.

[Nam Doyoon vs Kate]

[Jeong Ha-yeon vs. Kant]

In it, it was written who the 2nd year would fight.

Kate?

I had to deal with a very difficult opponent.

I looked down.

[Jeong Ha-yeon vs. Kant]

Jeong Ha-yeon and Kantra…

In the original game, the story was that she lost in a confrontation with Kant.

That’s right, she and her Kant’s skills are at a crossroads.

In the original game, Cha Ji-yoon and Radeon were the only ones to win against the sophomores.

There is an irreducible gap between the first and second graders.

“Oh, yes. There is a sparring partner created by the school to help with the 2nd year and sparring matches, so please refer to it.”

The sparring partners consisted of two people.

It was created for the purpose of sparring each other, telling each other what was lacking, and helping them fix it.

“If you do not like your sparring partner and train separately, you may receive a negative evaluation in terms of cooperation, so be aware of that point.”

Here, Radeon and Cha Ji-yoon form a team, and Jeong Ha-yeon forms a team with Ho-jin.

I just need to get back and test the effectiveness of the elixir.

“Come on. Then I will announce my sparring partners. Group 1 Radeon, Group 2 Cha Ji-yoon. ….. Article 10 Jeong Ha-yeon, Nam Do-yoon.”

… ?

Something is wrong with this.

Originally, Jeong Ha-yeon and Ho-jin should be a team.

But why with me…?

But I didn’t think it was that bad.

Because I know how Jeong Ha-yeon can win against Kant.

If she awakens to her new powers here, she will surely be of great help later.

“…..”

Jung Ha-yeon looked at me and frowned at her.

She quickly turned her head away.

But the question is… Will he listen to me?

I have to think about that first.
