A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 88

Entrance Exam (4)

Passed the 3rd exam.

As soon as he confirmed the results, Harang hurriedly left the exam room without even having time to cheer with joy.

He headed to the bathroom in a corner of the exam room, ignoring the wizards who came to ask him questions, and opened the toilet stall and entered.

“Wow!!”

Harang was nauseous and wiped the tears from his eyes with a tissue.

“… … blood.”

There was blood on the tissue.

Not only was my nose bleeding, but tears of blood were flowing as well.

This was the price of excessive triple casting. Not only did I increase the synchronization rate too much, but I also tried to control the magic too much, which resulted in a belated reaction.

That’s all.

Triple casting, which was pretended to be done with one hand, was actually the result of overheating the entire body’s mana using the White Silver Dragon’s Heart Ball and forcibly overloading the body’s mana circuit, making it completely impossible to use in actual combat.

‘Ugh, headache.’

It’s a high price for showing off just once, but if you think of it as the price of being accepted to Arniel, a great magic school, you can say it was a cheap price.

“ha… … .”

After coming out of the toilet stall, Harang realized that his appearance in the mirror was very pitiful, so he went back into the stall and leaned his head against the wall.

‘I can’t leave like this.’

As rumors spread about the genius of Wizard Days, not only reporters but also officials from the Magic Tower and Arniel’s faculty would come to visit, but he couldn’t show his face like that.

He hates looking weak more than anything in the world.

I didn’t want anyone to know that I was in such disgrace because of the triple casting I did earlier.

‘Until the rebound subsides… … ‘Let’s wait a moment.’

Harang laid down on the toilet and closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again.

The time for the 4th ‘Magical Insight Test’ had already arrived.

‘Did I sleep in the toilet for 3 hours?’

After checking the time on his watch, Harang sighed and stood up. She was still in bad shape.

‘I don’t think triple casting can be used in actual combat.’

The condition was still not good.

You’ll probably have a hard time for a few days.

Fortunately, the fourth test required little use of magic.

Did you say that even if you use it once or twice, it is enough?

However, it is too early to be reassured.

This is because the 4th test was conducted in a different way every year, so there was a limit to finding out information in advance.

Harang, who somehow managed to smooth out his haggard appearance, left the bathroom.

‘My body feels heavy.’

When I thought about the reason, it was not only because I had no strength, but also because I had weight bands plastered all over my body.

However, I felt like I would lose my will if I removed the weight band, so I just held on and dragged my feet.

When he arrived at the Eoyoung Buyeong test site, what greeted him was a dome larger than the World Cup stadium.

In this pure white space, only 100 eighth grade applicants have gathered. Half of the 200 test takers failed in the previous test.

Among these remaining people, the number of people who can pass is about 30 at most.

‘… … ‘You must not let down your guard until the end.’

Harang calmed his eyes.

Citrine was very upset right now.

“Ah~ I’m annoyed. “Well, what are you nitpicking about?”

Citrine is grumbling and getting irritated.

The students didn’t stop glancing at her even though they were annoyed by her.

‘It’s crazy, it doesn’t look like a real person.’

‘Wow, angel… … .’

‘Can you say that even after seeing that dirty tone of voice?’

‘What do you think? It’s the princess.’

The reason the students were glancing at her and whispering about her was all for the same reason. This was because her appearance was so beautiful that it was hard to believe she was human.

To adolescent boys, Citrine’s appearance was overly provocative, and whether this applied to adolescent girls regardless of gender, the gaze on her did not discriminate between men and women.

Actually, I was really annoyed by the attention I received because of my appearance.

‘I wanted to attract attention with my magic skills, not with this shitty face.’

She imagined.

Imagine that the princess of Herael, who is not a magic expert, enters Arniel and becomes the best, surpassing not only geniuses but also the five great families!

But, let alone the best, it only looked a little bit great on an average scale.

It was none other than Zelka Einglass and a boy named Days who showed an overwhelming performance!

‘Wow, triple casting.’

It was something that even she couldn’t easily attempt.

In the first place, just doing dual casting at the age of fourteen could be considered miraculous enough.

There were so many 14 geniuses in this place who knew how to cast dual casting that it didn’t seem that great, but… … .

‘But, it’s okay as long as I show my proper self here!’

While Citrine was clenching her fists and making a promise, someone deliberately grazed her shoulder.

“Oh.”

The culprit was a girl with light blue hair who seemed to be 10 cm taller than Citrine. She was Ail Ka Will Zed.

“damn… … hey! it’s crazy?”

When she suddenly shouted, Aylka looked back with indifferent eyes, smiled softly, and said,

“Oh, I’m sorry. “I couldn’t see it because I was short.”

“What the hell?!”

“My ears are burning. “For a princess of Herael, a descendant of the sun, don’t you have too little dignity?”

“Heng, dignity means taking care of things that are not classy. “I’m naturally noble and virtuous, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t have that.”

“aha. I see. Well, although he has dignity, his magical talent seems to be less than that of the top five magic masters. I guess class doesn’t teach magic?”

“what? this… … .”

“I really don’t understand. What on earth were you thinking when you entered Arniel? Because you think your magic is so good that it can be compared to the top five magic masters? So you want to show it to everyone? “Wow, you’re immature.”

Aylka shook her head, turned and walked away.

“Sounds that don’t even seem like words… … .”

I wanted to refute it, but it was half true. In fact, she has come to show the world that her own magic is also proven in Arniel.

However, this is only ‘half’ true.

That wasn’t the real reason.

‘… … ‘Do you think I’m an immature idiot?’

There is no way the princess Herael of the world would have entered Arniel for that reason alone. Even if it isn’t this way, there are countless ways to prove her magic.

Also, during the time you receive lessons from Arniel, you will be able to learn more valuable lessons at the imperial palace.

The real reason Citrine came here.

It was to get back his life that was held as collateral.

Or you could say it was to find a way to survive.

Ah, the one and only princess of Herael, who is as dazzlingly beautiful as the sun and shines brightly alone in the world.

In some ways, it may seem like the most noble status in the world.

‘Nobility is a piece of shit. As for me… … .’

Everything about her appearance and talent is graded and valued as an ‘offering’.

People don’t know.

Now that Calantatis is asleep, the Herael royal family, protected by the immortal guardian El Phoenix, who is considered one of the strongest guardians, maintains its contractual relationship in a precarious way.

‘… … I’m going to live my own life.’

In order to do so, Citrine, although immature and young, had a talent for magic, so she had to become a princess who only believed in it and walked around without knowing the subject.

You can only lower your ‘value’ if you become a real, overwhelming magic genius that no one can touch, or if you become a fool that everyone in the world despises.

“Anyway, those guys named Wilzed are all unlucky.”

When a negative thought occurred to her, she crossed her arms and snorted happily.

Citrine, who had always grown up bright and cheerful, did not fit into negative thoughts.

‘All you have to do is prove it. Here, I am a true genius.’

She sometimes thinks of her second brother, the 2nd Prince Castia, who lives a thoughtless life.

How great would it be if you could only practice swordsmanship for the rest of your life?

She sometimes thinks of the story of Paul Calladorn, a maid who was recognized for his talent from the age of seven and was evaluated more highly than his direct lineage purebreds.

A world where everyone sees oneself as a talent, not a status, and where even the king treats that talent.

How happy will I be?

‘… … ‘Me too, I will be like that.’

In order to live without thinking, she pretended to live without thinking.

from now on.

Even if you become a thinking woman, not everyone can… … .

Not like the princess of Herael.

There will be one great wizard.

‘certainly.’

“From now on, we will begin the 4th entrance exam for the 8th grade. “Most people will probably feel familiar with the objects in this space.”

Inside the dome, there were various objects, including tall trees and rocks, waterfalls and rivers, lakes and deserts, boiling lava, huge castles and mansions, cabins and shacks, ruins and caves.

“Let me tell you one thing. 99% of what you see and feel here is a lie. In other words, it means ‘fantasy’. Your goal here is to find 1% of the truth. If you can find even one thing, you are a candidate for success, but if the number of students who have found the truth is large… … “The student who finds a piece that is closer to the truth will pass.”

In no time, the audience was buzzing.

The scent of grass swaying in the wind, boiling lava, and even the desert that dries out your entire body. The five senses are already perfectly describing this place as reality, but most of it is false?

Even before the explanation was over, the students were already doing various tests, such as digging up dirt from the sea or hitting rocks with their fists.

The judges did not stop the students’ actions.

The reason is simple.

‘Because it’s a meaningless action.’

Aylka looked at the students fumbling on the floor as if they were pitiful.

Those types will probably not last long and will be eliminated. Even if I’m lucky enough to find a real gift and pass the exam, I probably won’t be able to survive the first year and will be expelled.

‘I didn’t know it was a test like this, but it’s simple if you get the hang of it.’

No matter how many of the top five magic masters there are, they do not tell you in advance about the contents of the Arniel entrance exam. It was Aylka’s first time taking the test here, but she was confident.

Other ordinary students would have never learned how to overcome illusion magic, but wasn’t she Wilzed, famous for her intuitive insight into magic and her ability to manipulate it in the most delicate way?

“Miss Little Princess. Why did you say that to Princess Herael?”

“… … .”

When one of the test takers asked out of curiosity, Aylka frowned.

In hindsight, you end up regretting it because you feel like you did something useless.

However, the Little Princess of Wilzed must not easily show her feelings of regret. She had to always remain a confident young lady who lived without a single regret for her actions.

She said gracefully, elegantly tucking her hair behind her shoulder.

“I did it because I thought it was unseemly to be oblivious to an uninvited guest.”

“Ah, you said that too!”

It’s actually not wrong.

Currently, the generation said to be the most promising lineage from the five major magic families are entering Ainglass one after another, and they are implicitly in competition with each other.

This means that Ailka and Jelka are also rivals. Right now, Jelka was a little faster at the starting line, but Aylka had no doubt that she would catch up someday.

Even the magic prophecy said that she was destined to become an archmage… … .

however.

While the blood relatives of the five great magic families are competing to determine what ‘true magic’ is in Arniel, the princess of Herael, who is not even of magical blood, gets involved?

That couldn’t have happened.

“It seems like he thinks he’s using some magic on his own… … You will soon find out the reality. “No matter how much I fly or crawl, I can’t become one of the top five magic families.”

“As expected. “It’s not like I’m belittling the greatness of the world’s top five magic families, it’s just ridiculous!”

Even though the candidates had not yet passed the exam, they had already formed a small faction around Ailka.

She took them for granted.

The existence of humans who cling to and worship Wilzed of the World has been taken for granted since birth.

‘… … petulance.’

Aylka glanced at Princess Citrine. She was snooping around and looking at someone else.

As I followed his gaze, a boy with long black hair and white secret two-tone hair was standing there.

Unlike before, the boy with a somewhat gloomy look was still showing a mysterious charm, and like Citrine, his appearance was so striking that he was attracting attention from all over.

‘That commoner, it’s the same.’

These arrogant guys get in the middle of their rivalry with Jelka and play another genius.

‘entire… … ‘I don’t like it.’
