＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 10

Endex(2)

Endex’s library is as perfect as ever. It is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and has a 300-pyeong reading room filled with books, as well as various facilities such as group study rooms and copy rooms.

Of course, the cost is completely free.

[I will do it for you]

: Obtaining, delivering, forwarding, etc.

: From simple errands to complex tasks.

: We will help you all.

: Please call #05 001-3021-4302. It is a safe number where each other’s phone number is not disclosed.

“It’s intuitive and good.”

Thanks to you, I printed hundreds of flyers for free.

The concept is simply ‘We’ll do anything-‘, but the target is the Endex guys. They are immature people who have a lot of money and don’t know anything about the world.

Right now, there are 3,000 students in grades 1 to 4, and if you include attendants such as drivers and managers brought by noble students, and commoner families who move in as a group, the floating population on the site at all times will exceed 10,000 to 20,000, so Endex If you post it here and there, you will be contacted on its own.

“hmm… … .”

I looked at the clock.

1 o’clock in the morning.

“Should I sprinkle it on the seaweed I made?”

There’s nothing to do anyway, and today is especially messy.

I’m telling you this, but my sleep pattern is abnormal.

Sometimes I feel so sleepy that I can’t stand it, but sometimes I feel fine, like a person who doesn’t know how to sleep.

“Of course.”

I went out with the thick flyer at my side.

… … .

“Hwaaaam.”

It’s already 10 o’clock in the morning.

For 9 hours, I spent 9 hours between the bookshelves of the library, on the shelf of the toilet seat in the bathroom, in the alley between the endex, between the park benches, in the locker room of the gym, on the ceiling of the classroom, in the middle of the clock tower, on the window frame of the cafeteria, on the seats in the stadium, on the lockers in the hallway, in the magic lab, and in the club. Room, etc… … Leaflets were distributed in almost all locations of Endex’s academic institutions.

“I’m sleepy now.”

My body feels dizzy and I slowly fall asleep.

Band ring—

Then suddenly my cell phone rang.

It was a text message.

Is this already a request?! I quickly turned it on because I wanted to.

[College Board Opening Information]

College Board begins Monday, March 3rd. Good luck to all Endex students who are taking on the challenge of entering university.

Venue: Endex Bahala Hall

Time: 11 AM

Please be careful as being late may result in serious disadvantages.

This is a text message announcing the start of the College Board semester next Monday. Today is Friday, so it’s exactly three days later.

“College Bodra… … .”

The beginning of 4th grade.

I’ve never tried it, but I’m not confident. There are techniques, martial arts, etc. that I learned naturally while rolling around at the bottom for ten years.

However, if possible, I will not load the future civilization ‘Perion’ that ‘Notepad’ remembers into my body.

Why?

Because I’m a cancer patient.

Selenacio.

Edsilla, a prestigious academy with its headquarters in the wealthiest part of the capital, where children of powerful families from all over the continent come to visit with all their money.

In a place where only the ‘real’ students are selected by carefully measuring not only the students’ financial power, but also their pedigree, talent, reputation, and family social authority——

“The final dance. Elise Petra wins!”

——Elise finished the last test before entering the College Board, ‘Bimu’.

Waaaa———!

Since today’s final match was open to all academy students, hundreds of cheers and applause poured in like a rain.

The center of that brilliant spotlight. Although Elise was admired by everyone, she just held out her hand to the loser with an expressionless face.

“Catch it.”

“… … “How can you not win at least once?”

The opponent is Selenacio’s second place, Mel.

He stood up, holding Elise’s gloved hands together.

“It was a good thing I didn’t go to Endex. “I heard you’ll get into trouble there too?”

It is a provocation of its own. Selenacio’s first place Elise Island is in fierce competition with Gerken and Solliet in Endex.

“It’s Endex. “You’re not even close to being in the top 10 there.”

Elise quietly accepted, and Mel’s expression hardened.

“great job.”

Just then, the dean of Selenacio appeared.

She presented the certificate to Elise with a bright face.

[2013 Selenacio High School Class 113, 1st place]

[Elise Petra]

Elise looked at it quietly.

To be honest, I learned more from famous tutors recruited through Petra’s money than from Selenacio, but the true value of Selenacio was not learning, but ‘connections’.

“Congratulations, Elise.”

“thank you.”

Elise bowed her head at the dean’s words.

“Reporters are waiting.”

There were many scouts and reporters right below the off-stage.

Since this is the last public training of a 6-star prospect on the continent who is full of star potential, it will probably be featured on the 9 o’clock news.

“Can you say a few words briefly?”

“yes. “Of course.”

Elise is also somewhat curious about what kind of reporting and articles they will write.

She trudged down the off-stage stairs. At that moment, countless microphones flooded in.

“Mr. Elise. You took first place in Selenacio High School for all three years. Please tell us what you thought-”

“What do you expect your final College Board grade to be? Several betting sites place Gerken in first place-”

“Gerken and Solliet from the same school are expected to be strong competitors.”

The questions are still similar. Gerken and Solliet all three years.

I was very annoyed when I was a freshman, but now I’ve gotten used to it.

“The grades will be as good as I do. Nothing more, nothing less. “Anyway, the real competition starts after you enter university.”

Elise said with a nonchalant expression.

… … .

—The grades will be as good as I do. Nothing more, nothing less. Anyway, the real competition starts after you enter university.

Elise in the TV news responds indifferently and dryly. They want to be first more than anyone else, but they pretend not to care about other competitors. Pretending not to have any interest.

It’s also pretentious.

“171cm.”

At that time, the old man said that he measured his height with a tape measure.

“You’re really big? “I thought she looked big at first glance.”

His eyebrows lifted as if he was surprised.

“I told you.”

I grew 3cm in one month, but my growth is a one-year process. Before the regression, I was 196cm, so it would probably stop around that level.

“You won’t know in a year?”

Not only will your arms and legs become longer, but your bones and muscles will also become stronger than they are now. Danjeonam will naturally be tempered by the magic power it radiates.

“Then, I’ll go.”

With my school uniform tie tight, I did some light stretching.

“Whether you go or not.”

The old man pretended to be blunt and added a word.

“Are you confident?”

“of course.”

I answered right away and put my foot up on the stairs in the basement.

“First place… … “Oh, I think I can get to 15th place or something like that.”

“… … .”

Was he impressed by my confidence?

The old man said with a slightly dazed look on his face.

“Crazy guy.”

Monday, 11 a.m., Bahala Pavilion.

I am walking to the place that most resembles a temple among the many academic buildings in Endex.

—Ah~ How are you feeling? I’m not that good.

There were already many students at the entrance.

—Don’t lay the groundwork, dude~ Let’s wait for today’s round. I am… … Oh, it’s Ju-on.

As I slowly approach, a soft voice calls out my name.

—He really does it too. Ah, it suddenly fell off.

After all, it’s Escher.

I glanced at the two guys. Kane and Escher were carrying golf bags on their shoulders.

“Ah, I guess he came to carry our golf bags.”

Escher sensed my gaze and approached me.

“thanks.”

He looked down at me and hung his golf bag on his shoulder. Then he twisted the corners of his mouth as if smiling.

“… … Zion. But do you seriously think you can do it? What on earth were you thinking… … . go away.”

Just then, a person in charge came out from the Bahala pavilion. Escher nudged me and smiled brightly again.

“thank you. I’ll go pick up my golf bag later. Hey Kane. Are you okay? “They say our Sion will listen?”

“Fuck you. “That bastard might steal it.”

“… … .”

It’s blatantly treated as a shuttle, but honestly, this is ridiculous.

Because it won’t be long until that bastard looks down on me.

“fist.”

The person in charge said.

For your information, that man’s name is Chedrek. He was dispatched to Endex by the university association, and he can be seen as the homeroom teacher for fourth graders for one year.

“A total of 133 Endex College Board participants… … “That’s right.”

He counted us and nodded.

“I will begin my first assignment with the College Board. “Come inside.”

Then the students entered the Bahala Pavilion. I followed along with my golf bag on my shoulder.

“… … “What is this place?”

I stood in the hall and looked inside.

The hallway that only ran on one side had no end, and there were countless doors at regular intervals.

“Stand in front of the door, one at a time.”

133 people moved in unison. The popular guys stood in the front row, and I, carrying a golf bag as big as my torso, naturally found myself in [Room 133].

“Now everyone go in. “The assignment will start at exactly 11 o’clock.”

The seniors opened the doors almost at the same time. Beyond that was a space of about 8 pyeong, the size of a studio apartment. A clock hung on the wall, and a transparent triangular pyramid sparkled on the center table.

I know what that is.

‘Prism’

“… … “Oh, wait a minute.”

Just when I was starting to feel anxious for some reason.

Tick——.

The hour hand signaling 11 o’clock rang especially loudly.

Soon a voice came down from the ceiling.

─From now on, we will begin the College Board’s first task, ‘eligibility screening.’ As previously announced, if you fail, you will be disqualified from applying to the College Board.

Hard speech and low tone.

This is Chadrek.

─All 133 of you are in a space with the same structure. First, you will see an object in the center.

“Mana Prism.”

Then Chedrek said the same thing.

─It’s called ‘mana prism’.

“… … Tsk.”

I clicked my tongue.

I felt like I knew what kind of test it was.

─The task for the first week is the prism.

A properly made mana prism has the property of absorbing magical power and physical power.

─The exam ends at 1:00 PM, exactly 2 hours from now.

So, if the test I am thinking of is correct, I am very embarrassed.

For me, it is a difficult problem that I cannot solve now and then.

─Any method is fine. If you make even the slightest scratch on the Mana Prism, it is a success.

“Fuck it.”

I suddenly felt a pain in the back of my neck.

Mana Prism is like a very hard onion, so to speak. Because it has strong resistance to external shocks, even most experts cannot destroy it unless the internal mana flow is first analyzed and interpreted to break the ‘structure’.

There is a weakness to physical power, but even that is about 99% mana resistance and 90% physical resistance, so there is not much difference.

─Start.

But now I’m not even an expert.

All he has is his body, and his overall magical power—mana utilization, control, coordination, adaptability, resistance, etc.—is all inadequate.

“Huh… … .”

I sighed and sank into the chair. She scratched the heated back of her neck.

“… … “Holy shit.”

Is it already over? So vainly.

So, even if you die once and come back to life, you can’t even get over this mana prism?

So how many times do you have to die and come back to life?

This is ridiculous… … .

“wait for a sec.”

Then, suddenly, a thought crossed my mind.

I almost cracked my neck and looked up at the ceiling.

“I have a question.”

I shouted to someone invisible towards the camera in the corner of room 133.

“Can I use the tool?”

—… … It’s okay.

The lightbulb in my head lit up when I heard the confirmation that it was okay.

Let’s think about it.

I have Perion.

To be precise, Perion is “remembered” in the “notepad.”

However, I must not invite Perion into my body.

Even so, I probably won’t be able to break the prism with my bare fists, and my health problems are too serious.

then.

Couldn’t this be applied to ‘objects’ rather than ‘my body’?

“… … “I don’t know, Mr.”

You’ll know when you try it.

No, you’ll have to try it to find out.

Fortunately, the weapons are already there.

A very good friend very kindly lent me this item in advance.

I whipped out the thickest driver from Escher’s high-quality golf bag.

I don’t know if this will work or not.

But it’s the only way for me, so I don’t want to assume it’s a failure.

“… … .”

I closed my eyes. I summoned Perion with a calm mind.

[–Load]

At that moment, the magical power was completely consumed. I pulled the danjeon as if it might fall off, but I don’t know if I was successful. The exterior of the golf club remained the same.

You’ll know when you try it.

“after… … .”

Take a deep breath.

Crackle – Grab the golf club with both hands.

Someone might analyze the internal structure of this prism and exquisitely dismantle it by interfering with the circuit in which mana circulates, but not me.

I just took a stance. Arms above your head, golf club almost touching the ceiling.

I just twisted my whole body.

“——!”

I hit the prism with all my might.
