—[Main quest].

Questable character: Kim-Ha-Jun

Description: Read the oath at the entrance ceremony of Rokia Academy.

Reward: 10

[Success!!]

[Rewards will be given]

[Fame will increase] (+ 250)]

After the entrance ceremony.

The students who were first, second and third in line for admission were then interviewed by the headmaster

However, Ha Jun decided to leave the meeting.

He had already had a meeting with Choi Joong-won the day before the admission ceremony began, and when he told him it was an interview, he was bound to congratulate him on coming to our school and tell him a few things.

Rather, Ha Jun decided to use the remaining time efficiently.

“Well, well…”

Immediately after returning to the dormitory, Ha Jun immediately lay down on his bed and closed his eyes.

How long has it been since I really~ slept so comfortably?

Ah, it’s been a day, hasn’t it?

I entered the game and was so busy that I didn’t even think of it.

As Ha-Jun did so, he closed his eyes, vowing never to get out of bed.

That was when.

Knock-knock.

At the sound of someone knocking, Ha-jun closed his eyes without paying attention.

It was to pretend that he was not in his room.

But the sky was shallow.

[Sub-quest].

Questable character: Kim-Ha-Jun.

Description:Allow your guests to visit.

Reward: 10. Experience.

(The sky must have abandoned me.)

However, this time it was a little different: it was a sub-quest.

As the system says, sub-quests are not compulsory.

They were literally quests that could be accepted and rejected.

However, the compensation was very lenient.

Because it was an experience reward, which wasn’t there before …

(I figured it out at this point…)

The system must know my state of mind and send down the quest.

Otherwise, why would it give me such a quest at such a time?

Ha Jun had no choice but to get out of bed and open the door.

“Who is it…”

Two girls were standing in front of the door.

Of course, they were both faces that Ha Jun knew well.

Third-year senior, Lee Joo-hee, the student council president.

And her younger sister, Lee Joo Ah.

As soon as he saw their faces, Ha-Jun knew why they had come to visit him.

“I’m sorry, maybe you were resting?”

“Yes, please still come in. It seems you have something to say.”

“Well, excuse me.”

It was a bit of a hassle, but better than more hassle later.

I felt like I should just get it over with if it wasn’t a big deal.

Also, thinking about the future of Lee Joo Hee and Lee Joo-Ah, it didn’t seem to matter if they knew each other in particular.

Lee Joo Hee was in a position to help playable characters who would rather do troublesome things than be troublesome, and Lee Joo Ah did not seem to cause any particular problems since she had not existed in the regular story from the beginning.

And there was no need for the new student to dare to hate the student council president.

It’s not like she visited him with bad intentions.

“So what’s the matter?”

Although he knew it, frankly, Ha Jun wanted to get to the point as soon as possible.

I dared not drag out the conversation for too long.

The sisters faced each other for a while with my questions.

It was Lee Joo-ah who opened her mouth first.

“Thank you so much for that time.”

It was Lee Joo-ah who bowed down towards Ha-jun.

.
.
.

 

Lee Joo Ah still vividly remembers that time.

It was a desperate situation and helpless where nobody could help me.

Many students and civilians almost died because of her, yet her shaking legs would not move.

I was very scared.

When I was desperately hoping that someone would please help me.

One boy stood up .

He blocked the front of the ‘Armstrong’ to keep everyone alive.

I, Joo Ah. Still cannot forget the scene that took place at that time.

“Thank you so much … for all your help. *Sob*!

.
.
.

 

What should I do in such a case?

It was the first time I had ever received such a tearful thank-you.

I felt somewhat embarrassed.

“I want to say thank you too.”

These were the words of the student council president, Lee Joo Hee.

She was smiling as she patted the sobbing Lee Joo Ah’s head with a kind face

Indeed, in the game’s setting, Lee Joo-ah was the only girl that the unsociable student council president cherished and missed. This is because in Lee Joo-hee’s story recollections, she was seen several times looking at a picture of her dead sister Lee Joo-ah and getting revenge on her.

“So, is there anything you want? In my Lee family, we never forget a favour.”

Hmmm… It’s something I wish for. …. Now there was nothing in particular.

Everything is already given to you when you enter the academy. Food, clothing and shelter.

If I needed anything, it would be at a later date, not now.

“No, not now.”

“Then come and visit me if you ever find yourself in need of anything later, the door of the student council is always open.”

“Understood.”

The Lee family is the most prestigious and respected family in Korea.

You can probably get most goods easily through them.

(Not bad.)

A smile appeared on Ha Jun’s mouth.

Meanwhile.

In front of the door of the headmaster’s office, the second and third seats, except for the headmaster, were waiting to be interviewed.

However, Han Si-Young and Anna were still unaware of the reason why the main figure, Aka, the boy, the current head of the class, is missing.

(Hah… I have to see your face for now…)

With the mutter, Anna had a somber look on her face.

Anna was thinking about him with mixed feelings.

(I never thought it would be him…)

The student who occupied the seat next to Han Si-Young and kicked him out of his seat.

Who would have thought that he was the one who had overtaken Han Si-Young for the top position?

He had a gloomy and depressed look on his face.

Who would have thought that he was the one who was at the top of the class?

“Did you know that he was first in his class?”

“No.”

“By the way, how did you recognise him and sit next to him?”

“…Do you think I sat down knowing that?”

It was Anna who had nothing to say because it was precisely correct.

Anna came to the academy for a number of reasons, the first of which was talent scouting. The UK has its own capable and promising heroes, but it was a country where a noticeably smaller number of superhumans were awakening than in the wider world.

Moreover, as the years go by, the number of superhuman awakenings decreases, while the number of villains and magical beasts increases. Literally, Britain suffers from a shortage of heroes.

So Anna came here with the aim of scouting for more talent.

I missed the biggest gem from the start.

She missed out on a talent that no one had found in Korea, yet, and for no good reason.

(I didn’t expect someone to overtake that Han Si-Young for the top spot.)

“Huh…”

That was when Anna was sighing so deeply.

— Come in.

It was Han Si-Young who opened the door at the calm voice that could be heard over the office.

There was the headmaster of the current Rokia Academy.

Choi Joong-won was sitting on the sofa in a comfortable position.

“Sit down.”

His voice was indeed calm and serene, but.

I felt a sense of pressure for some reason.

Han Si-Young sat on the sofa opposite with a nonchalant expression, and Anna too, very much so. She swallowed her spit and sat down next to him.

“Right, it’s you guys. The disciple of the Sword King and the Sage Child who will succeed me.”

“Yes, I am Han Si-Young.”

“Uh, I’m Anna Elizabeth Hartel.”

As soon as the introductions were over, Choi Joong-won looked at the two of them with narrowed eyes for a while.

At the same time, quiet intimidation slowly began to grow louder like a violent windstorm.

Han Si-Young and Anna’s expressions gradually hardened. Both carefully grasped the situation, and gathered their magical powers.

A few seconds of silence filled the office.

After a few moments …

Choi Joong-won, who had quickly calmed down his magic, opened his mouth with a quiet smile.

“You are all admirable. At your age, you’ve reached this level of achievement.”

“Thank you.”

“Oh, you praise me too much.”

“Hmph, don’t be too nervous. I’m just checking.”

With these words, Choi Joong-won’s face relaxed with a benevolent smile.

The ventilated atmosphere released the tension and the two were able to face Choi Joong Won with a little more ease.

“I’ve only heard about you through rumours, but this is the first time I’ve actually seen your face. Yes, you have just enrolled, and you’ve had to have a boring interview, and you seem to have something on your mind.”

“Um, so where is the head of the class?”

“Hohoho, surely that would be the most interesting thing.”

It was Anna’s words.

Because she had been wondering about the reason even before she entered here.

However, Choi Joong Won replied as if it was no big deal.

“Student Ha-jun finished his interview before you arrived. It’s kind of inconvenient for you to sit down. Do you have anything on your mind?”

Han Si-Young was silent for a while at these words.

If he were his original self, he would have said from the beginning that he had nothing to be concerned about.

One way or another.

There was something which made him curious.

“Are the rumours true?”

“Rumours? Rumours… You mean about the ‘Armstrong’.”

“Yes.”

Student who defeated a class A villain

Of all the stories spread among the students, this was the hardest-to-believe gossip.

Of course It is hard to believe too, but I still had to ask because of what happened.

“What do you think?”

“I think it’s true.”

“…hmm, I see…”

With these words, Choi Joong-won’s silence lasted for a long time.

Then he began to look serious, as if he was thinking deeply about something.

Soon after finishing his thoughts, Choi Joong-won opened his mouth.

“Would you believe me if I said no?”

“It’s a word from a sage. You have to believe it.”

“Then all I have to say is this. Rumours are bound to be exaggerated.”

“I understand.”

Surprisingly, Han Si-Young nodded honestly.

Choi Joong-won, who looked at him, continued his words with a faint smile on his face.

“I don’t know student Ha-Jun very well either, but it seems that he wants to keep his school life more peaceful and quiet. It could be a coincidence that student Ha-Jun made top this time, so don’t be too swayed by rumours.”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Yes, yes…”

“Well, it seems I’ve taken up too much of your time. You can go now.”

With those final words, Si-Young and Anna bowed their heads politely and left the Office.

And one person remained in the Office.

Choi Joong-won sighed quietly and grumbled about Ha-jun.

“No matter how much information I try to prevent, the rumours are bound to spread, you know.”

He had already officially held a press conference to explain the rumors, prevented inside information from leaking out, and kept the students, including instructor Jang Hyun-joon, who was on the bus, quiet.

However, rumors will only spread no matter how much you try to stop them or prevent them.

Despite his best efforts, Choi Joong-won was unable to stop all of them.

“I know what you want, but…”

Do you want me to prevent information because even with that level of power, an alliance of villains might still target you?

Choi Joong-won did not understand.

How could Ha Jun, who had the power to defeat an ‘Armstrong’ with a single blow, be afraid of retaliation from the alliance? Rather, he felt that he was making the request to avoid causing damage to the academy.

At the same time, I got the feeling he wanted to hide his past.

“…..I hope you enjoy your time at the academy.”

Choi Joong-won, who knew all too well the weight of those with power.

His life would not have been smooth either.

There was a feeling that maybe Ha-Jun had already achieved his life goal or revenge at that young age and had come in as a student to live a new life.

If he had that level of power, he would not need to bother entering as a student, because he would be able to live as a hero who would gain fame in the whole world. I could see it from my sage’s eyes.

His heart looked too tired and empty.

Those were empty eyes, as if he had lost his purpose in life.

But there was one thing, his heart was good.

“I’ve kept my promise for the time being, so do the rest on your own.”

The promise was kept.

What happened next would depend on the actions of that little strong man.
