our protagonist had an exceptional Talent with a sword there was nothing he couldn't learn and nothing could Escape his blade he worked so hard that he often had blood stains on his palms after dropping out of high school he spent 20 years honing his skills with a knife becoming the best swordsman in the country the waiter shouted that table 3's amicay Corsa was ready in the busy restaurant the waiters heard an alarm inside the kitchen momentarily pausing their work meanwhile our protagonist was inside the kitchen wearing ear pads focused on cutting a fish one of
the waiters excused himself and approached him saying the phone alarm had been going off our protagonist realized he'd set it to vibrate when he looked at his phone he saw a notification from a game making him wonder if it was the one he had deleted earlier and if something was wrong with it the waiter informed him that a guest had arrived to which our protagonist instructed the waiter to say he wasn't there moments later a man entered the kitchen and pointed out he wasn't buying the excuse a chubby man entered stating that it was time
for our protagonist to give his answer he believed he'd given our protagonist enough time to think and insisted it shouldn't be a difficult request for someone who handles swords daily when our protagonist didn't respond the chubby man laughed and accused him of being insensitive he ordered his men to bring forward a suitcase saying the requestor should show sincerity first a man opened the suitcase revealing it was full of money the chubby man proudly announced it was an advanced payment of 300 million and if our protagonist completed the task properly there would be more without a
word the protagonist swiftly swung his knife slicing through a large fish hanging in front of of him horrifying the chubby man the protagonist calmly told him that the kitchen was a place where cleanliness was Paramount and it wasn't for someone as dirty as the chubby man he then ordered him to leave as pieces of fish slammed onto the floor the chubby man stunned shouted that the protagonist really was the sword Saint as he expected he grabbed a sharper knife from the counter in Anger making his men step back in fear the chubby man along with
his bodyguards stormed out of the kitchen before leaving the restaurant The Chubby man warned the protagonist not to think he was giving up promising he'd be back soon later after the restaurant had closed the protagonist was out back smoking his cooworker joined him saying the down payment was 300 million1 and that if it were him he would have accepted it on the spot the coworker asked why he turned it down the protagonist replied that all his life he had only sliced fish heads with a knife and asked his coworker what he knew about being a
thug his cooworker suggested that he was just using his reputation as a swordmaster and wondered if he was seriously planning to kill someone he advised the protagonist to scare them enough to get the money buy a house and open a shop telling him he needed to live like a human too but the protagonist simply replied that even if they offered billions he would still pass suddenly his phone received another notification his coworker teased him asking if he was dating someone because of all the notifications the protagonist replied it was a game his cooworker asked if
he was still playing Divine protection to which he admitted he quit just then someone called out asking where they were going without cleaning up his coworker told him it was their boss and that he was leaving first alone the protagonist smoked thinking back to when he was young his family went bankrupt and since then he'd been working non-stop he guessed he'd been too focused on earning money but his phone kept buzzing the notifications becoming excessive annoyed he pulled out his phone wondering why it kept ringing he briefly thought he might have reinstalled the game after
a night of drinking deciding to delete it again he chuckled when he saw a message about the Demon King's invasion of the academy knowing those guys have been invading the academy for years but then accidentally he clicked on the game it opened with a welcome song and the game prompted him to touch the screen to enter nostalgic he noted that the soundtrack was still the same and the female characters were still as beautiful as ever suddenly the screen became corrupted was it lag before he could react a bright powerful light shot out of the phone
sucking him in moments later his coworker came out of the restaurant looking for him the coworker saw the protagonist's phone lying on the ground and wondered where he had gone puzzled that he left his phone behind the boss yelled from inside asking where the chef was the coworker unaware of what had happened joked that it seemed like the chef went to the bathroom not knowing he had been sucked into the game now with a 100% transfer complete displayed on the screen there was nothing special about the game just a typical pay to win model with
an auto hunting system a mass-produced mobile game that needed no further explanation our protagonist played it for one reason he was captivated by the female characters appearances he got swallowed up by the game finding it ironic that he ended up spending a fortune on it after playing through multiple Cycles he wasn't even a playable character anymore not even an NPC instead he became a background character whose whereabouts were unknown in that world his name was Kang giom one day he accidentally bumped into someone and when he turned around surprised he saw it was a woman
he quickly asked if she was okay and she replied that she was fine fortunately for him the game Divine protection was said in Korea the names locations and geography were all the same with only minor differences in a few characters the similarities helped him adapt easily and for a year he lived in that world forgetting whether it was a game or reality enjoying a life he couldn't experience in his previous one that was until that fateful day he returned to his apartment where his parents welcomed him calling him their pride the great swordmaster and showed
him an acceptance letter to a prestigious Academy he asked his parents if they could put it away but they insisted saying no matter how many times they saw it they were proud of how well they had raised him his mother then asked if he had packed everything to which he replied that he'd finish soon his mother excitedly told him to go ahead that day his modest dream of living a normal life shattered into pieces he sighed in his room knowing the day was almost here he had asked countless times if he could avoid it but
nothing changed tired he began packing his things thinking about how happy everyone was he couldn't refuse looking at their family photo he wondered how Kang giom had gotten accepted into such a prestigious School his father once told him that his divine power had manifested last year and he took the entrance exam right after his mother had asked if he didn't remember before he possessed Kang gioma that divine power had already appeared allowing him to pass the entrance exam to hoken Academy staring at the acceptance letter he wondered if the real Kang gioma was a genius
divine power was a special ability that humans could use much like skills in a game however not all humans possess divine power as it was usually inherited genetically Society was divided into three segments based on this the privileged the commoners and the poor Hulen Academy was born to maintain the power of the elite though it was established under the pretense of hero cultivation it had long since become a school exclusive to upper class families recently a special admissions system was introduced for non-hero families and Kang gioma was admitted as one of those students he wondered
why Heroes were still necessary though he knew the answer the Demon King he mused that this world wasn't reality but training Heroes for war felt too real it reminded him of what it would feel like to reinlist he called forth his divine power and a system window popped up in front of him still feeling unfamiliar looking at the divine power Kang gioma had unlocked he saw it was painlessness which reduced pain for 30 seconds with a 12-hour cooldown he couldn't believe he had crossed into this world with something so underwhelming every time he saw it
it depressed him it was nonsense but then he remembered the divine power he had been granted when he possessed Kang gom's body the blessing of the sword God its activation time was infinite without a cooldown but it only worked with a sword less than 30 cm long and 5 cm wide he was in disbelief he had the blessing of the sword God and His Name Kang giomo literally meant Blood Demon he wondered if the universe was playing a joke on him he'd never encountered such a blessing in the game and thought the elaborate name clashed
with the ridiculously simple effect it seemed absurd to even call it a divine power but what stood out most was the activation condition a sword less than 30 cm long and less than 5 cm wide it was clearly referring to a Sashimi knife were they implying he should cut Sashimi in this world two frustrating he realized life never went as planned he then asked himself if he had packed everything suddenly he remembered he had forgotten his equipment in the game even the lowest grade e- rank weapon cost tens of millions of one while an average
C rank cost hundreds of millions that meant a rank and srank items were Treasures in themselves he knew the tuition alone was exorbitant and he didn't want to spend money on something he was being pushed into yet the academy required equipment and if he showed up without anything he'd leave a bad impression on the first day sighing he decided decided to visit daxo as he stood up and walked out of his room he recalled his first master who insisted on using a Japanese Sashimi knife worth over a 100 million one often saying a true Master
never blames their equipment on the day of the entrance ceremony where the students equipment was inspected he stood in uniform staring at the instructor in confusion the instructor looked at the Sashimi knives on the counter and asked if they were really his weapons he replied calmly yes the instructor thinking it was a prank pulled by upper class students felt the need to establish discipline he then shouted asking if the academy was a joke and if the student truly believed a kitchen knife was an acceptable weapon for the class placement test remaining composed he simply repeated
it's my weapon the instructor stunned for a moment angrily addressed him as student but he calmly explained he's a special student from a modest family the tuition alone must have been a huge burden on his parents and he couldn't possibly afford an expensive weapon on top of that hearing his explanation the instructor noticed the color of his tag which indicated his status as a special admission student those from non-upper class backgrounds understanding the financial burden of the tuition the instructor was taken aback he found it shocking that an institution supposedly promoting equal education rights would
push away such a sincere filial student the young man then spoke with gravity saying blaming your equipment is something only amateurs do the instructor froze for a moment knowing the phrase a master never blames their tools such words didn't seem fitting for a teenage boy and the instructor felt that giom had already reached Mastery in some aspect of life his unyielding Spirit carried the weight of someone who had lived far beyond his years it was almost as if a god stood before him with that the instructor approved his weapon and geoma thanked him meanwhile some
upper class students glared at giom and anger outraged that a special admission student like him had even made it to the academy they whispered among themselves asking how someone like him could possibly belong there but before any commotion could arise the instructor shouted for them to be quiet and told the students that once the evaluation was over they were to move swiftly and promptly as geom walked past the line the instructor sternly reminded everyone that depending on their actions he could be their angel or their devil hearing this giom felt a wave of post-traumatic stress
disorder from his past as the words echoed in his mind a moment later goomad decided to take a break and sat down on a bench reflecting he expected hostility but still found it unsettling to experience firsthand regardless he had completed the equipment inspection and survived the entrance ceremony now the only thing left was the class placement exam looking around at the Academy he still couldn't believe he had made it here this was the school he'd be attending for the next 3 years the hero training school hoken academy as he took in the impressive size of
the campus he thought it was much grander than the game Graphics had shown if he exaggerated it felt as large as a small town smiling to himself he felt a sense of surrealism he was attending a school meant for the upper class something unimaginable back when he had to drop out of high High School due to his family's Financial struggles on Earth suddenly an announcement instructed students to gather at the training Hall by 1: p.m. for the class placement exam he opened his bag knowing the entrance ceremony was over but also knowing the real challenge
lay in the placement exam looking at his Sashimi knife he reminded himself an exam is still an exam and he'll need to familiarize himself with it he realized he hadn't used a knife since arriving in this world because he hadn't needed to memories of his master came flooding back reminding him that even for a single day one must never put down their knife his master had even told him to hold it while sleeping geomat chuckled thinking he had absorbed another one of his master's habits but he also wondered if a Year's break from wielding the
blade had dulled his skills despite living by the knife for 20 years he then unied the knife slightly feeling its Edge a small smile appeared on his face as he realized the blade was in better condition than he had expected deciding to test it he fully removed the cover planning to cut a few practice strokes but as soon as the cover came off completely a powerful energy surged from his hand and flowed through the entire Sashimi knife the system notification flashed before him weapon meets activation conditions the blessing of the sword God is activated but
just as he processed that another message appeared the level of the physical body and weapon is too low surpression activated to initiate synchronization in shock and disbelief he could barely think all he had done was draw the knife and yet the blessing of the sword God had already activated the system displayed a message synchronization complete May the blessing of the Gods be with you suddenly he felt an unbearable surge of power and screamed in agony as the blessing of the sword God activated within him the energy crawled through his body causing excruciating pain he knew
that if it continued he would die but the power didn't stop all he could do was endure suddenly a bright powerful light exploded in front of him when he opened his eyes the school around him had shattered like glass stunned he stood in shock wondering what the hell was happening his grip on the knife loosened and as soon as it hit the ground the shattered World restored itself leaving leing him even more surprised he realized that the moment he let go of the knife everything returned to normal suddenly his head and body throbbed with pain
he understood that the divine power had activated but he wondered if the world breaking effect had something to do with the sword God's blessing the backlash from the activation was immense and he knew that his divine power of painlessness could only help with mild muscle soreness not this kind of overwhelming pain he looked at his shaking hand realizing that if every activation felt like this the power was unusable an announcement rang out instructing students to gather at the training Hall immediately he debated whether he should pick the knife back up he couldn't just leave a
Sashimi knife lying on the ground and he tried to comfort himself by thinking maybe it only hurt during the first activation nervously he reached for the knife wondering if he'd be okay the moment he touched it he screamed again as the power surged through him and in agony he shouted what the is this meanwhile in the training Hall students were gathering and the professors were mingling laughing and discussing how much they had spent on their children's admission one of the professors noticed a figure and commented to another look Clint has made quite the journey the
sevenstar hero secret Von nium was standing nearby the others greeted him recognizing him as a descendant of Aaron Nong and the direct disciple of the founding hero Valor Jin sreed however remained silent staring at them which made the professors feel awkward as they returned to their seats seed sigh and glanced beside him as someone approached the sevenstar hero Sage media poison she greeted him saying it had been a while and asked if it had really been half a century he replied that he could see she still hadn't started dressing like an academy director and joked
that turning 70 hadn't changed her much she teased back saying every woman wants to remain beautiful until they die and offered to make him look 10 years younger with her blessing he dismissed her offer remarking that despite her upcoming 70th birthday she still hadn't grown up and humans should value their inner nature playfully she called him an old fart and pointed out how he hadn't changed in 50 years which annoyed him prompting him to call her an old old hag smiling she teased that he had changed a lot if he was willing to attend events
like these and he grumbled that he used to hate even breathing the same air as the egoistic bastards present she guessed his granddaughter must be quite pretty to have made him attend secred stayed quiet and mentioned that it looked like things were about to start meanwhile in the center of the training Hall students were chatting and introducing themselves geom Master stood silently observing them he wondered if he was the only one with black hair and if he was the only special admission student among the Nobles he remembered the students from the equipment inspection how they
had glared at him with disdain the memory made him feel lowly and out of place suddenly everyone's attention shifted to someone entering the hall a bright radiant presence moved through the crowd and goom's eyes widened in shock as he saw who it was every man she passed seemed entranced by her but giom man knew better she was able Von nium the granddaughter of the sword Emperor and the main heroine of the game the very reason he had spent a fortune on it Subspace created by the ancestral hero Balor Jin was a dimension formed alongside the
establishment of the academy it was a reality separate from their own where the rules of the real world did not apply even murder was overlooked secret asked media if the theme for the event was a Subspace Battle Royale she confirmed explaining that Subspace battles were a tradition at their school however this year they were trying something different with a battle royale format where participants would be split into groups of 10 secred remarked that it meant it was a survival game media responded that there were no restrictions on equipment to which SE freed commented that it
would just be a free for all for the privileged types with access to better Gear Media quickly told him not to bring it up explaining that she had compromised as much as she could she also added that whether he liked it or not the academy was mostly funded by nobility and she had gone through a lot of trouble just to introduce the new system dioma attention shifted to Abel noticing how unnervingly beautiful she was he thought of her as a character out of a 2d game but realized it was something more he mused that the
men who tried to approach her were fools had he not known better he might have done the same having played the game to some extent he knew AEL was a player with the miracle blessing M meaning she was tied to the game's protagonist he reflected that beautiful people always had someone by their side and someone like him a special student was not on their level he preferred avoiding involvement to prevent a noisy school life as he pulled out his book he recalled the three principles he had set for his future complete his studies without incident
secure a conventional job and live a safe Life the book mentioned that the most coveted occupation was hero offering an extremely high salary which made him wonder what kind of hardships came with it remembering how even the sight of a knife made him tremble he closed the book thinking that Heroes should protect the world while he found a more comfortable job an announcement suddenly echoed informing students that the class assignment exam for the 783dc Academy was starting it explained that this year's exam as previously announced would be a battle royale among the 10 randomly assigned
Cadets the first place winner would be assigned to the star class class second and third places to the dragon class and e8th to 10th places to the ordinary class the class assignments would be based on these results scores would be automatically assigned and there was no time limit geoman noticed it was just like The Game and his goal was to secure a spot in the ordinary class so he planned to finish quickly the Subspace generation device activated consuming everyone as they entered the Subspace the exam began with the system wishing them the blessings of the
heroes geom resolved to avoid using his knife if possible a short while later students were being evaluated by the system as they exited Subspace securing their class rankings meanwhile others were still fighting inside media told seek freed that because of his granddaughter's bloodline from chain xong and galum her results would be significant secred simply asked why she was bringing it up now media pointed out an impressive time of 7 minutes and 14 seconds achieved with a c rank weapon secred noted that Abel sought a fair assessment media responded that Abel although a stickler for fairness
still ranked among the top 10 in the Academy's history seeked proudly stated that this was only natural given the bloodline of nlon and stood up announcing it seemed to be wrapping up so he was leaving media informed him there was still one group left but seced dismissed them as offspring of the pigs and walked away saying he would see her next time media cryptically replied that she would see him in the afterlife suddenly a powerful sensation stopped both of them in their tracks and everyone felt it media asked secr if he sensed it too and
he replied that it was unbel able he scanned the stage and the surroundings noting there wasn't a place in the entire building where that sensation wasn't felt then once again they experienced a surge of immense power and saw the Subspace above them tear open both stood in shock as they witnessed the Subspace shattering into pieces two students were thrown from it leaving the crowd stunned the students crashed onto the stage shattering the ground on impact no one could believe that people had fallen out of Subspace then a brilliant light appeared above them once more prompting
seed to look up in concern something fell from the Subspace and pierced the ground near one of the collapsed students Nidia quickly called for the medical staff to check the vitals of the cadets who had emerged meanwhile the Sashimi knife near gomz had shine brightly before the confrontation he was facing his teammate muttering bastard thinking that the results were inevitable and predetermined however just as the thought crossed his mind their enemy grabbed his teammate and slammed him into the wall shattering it to Pieces he stared at his Squad realizing unfortunately that he had been caught
in the squad of death he knew their enemies were the infamous twins of malevolence from the Iron King Family Mao Jun and Ma shun though they possessed innate Talent their brutality and deceit knew no bounce he was Furious that these bastards had been toying with them for 30 minutes and he wondered if he appeared so weak that he wasn't even worth their attention shun glanced at the man in his grasp realizing he was dead and tossed the body aside bored he began counting the students he had killed asking Jun how many were left as Jun
stepped on a student's neck shun noted the student was still alive but Jun simply crush him to death replying that it was more or less over shun annoyed reminded Jun that he had caught four of them Jun apologized pointing to the side and telling shun he could have that one shun turned to look at the trembling girl and agreed saying he would accept it he watching in disbelief noticed that the girl who had been sitting quietly in the corner seemed to be in a panic her will to fight entirely gone as Shan approached the girl
he teasingly told his brother Jun to look at her commenting that she was to his taste and expressing curiosity about the sound of her screams shun excitedly shouted that he was dying to find out while the girl remained Frozen in fear Jun half jokingly told shun that even though he was his little brother he was such a pervert shun then scaring the girl asking where he should start tearing her apart it was at that moment that he shouted at the twins calling them bastards to get their attention he demanded to know why they were going
so far even in Subspace and asked if they were Psychopaths but then he realized too late that he had stepped forward without thinking shun amused asked Jen if there was one more student left Jun pointed out gom's name tag and remarked that he was a special student which to them was a lowly bastard the brothers turned to stare at him smiling creepily shun still grinning told Jun he would take care of him quickly Jun agreed reminding shun to rip out his tongue since he had insulted them shun still laughing said he would walking closer to
him panicking he frantically considered what to do he wondered if he should use the blessing of painlessness but then realized that since the twins had been desecrating corpses for 30 minutes avoiding pain for just 30 seconds wouldn't help suddenly a bright light Shone from his bag surprising him he remembered the Sashimi knife he had inside but he knew that holding the sword would activate the blessing of the sword gone he hadn't even made it half a day since deciding to live an ordinary uneventful and Safe Life shun noticed him reaching into his bag and mockingly
asked what it was when he pulled out the Sashimi knife the Twins were stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter they couldn't believe it and taunted him asking if it was a joke the girl watching in Terror stood Frozen in fear she adjusted his stance shouting that since he was at least a little amusing he would make his death as painless as possible he then leapt into the air appearing above him shouting that he would smash his head first realizing he couldn't be picky he opened his legs wide and hoped for the best he
activated the blessing of painlessness for 30 seconds along with the blessing of the sword God while removing the knife's cover he knew that painlessness would counteract the pain caused by the blessing of the sword God for 30 seconds as shun launched his robotic hand towards him tauntingly asking what he could possibly do with a pathetic knife like that he knew that if he couldn't cut he would die he worried about the Sashimi knife's ability to cut through shun's heavy equipment thinking that shun wasn't a fish but a person he remembered once asking his master why
gangsters in move his wielded Sashimi knives wondering if they really Ed them to cut people and not just fish his master had called him a crazy bastard telling him it was only in movies and that even a god couldn't make it work but he added that if he slashed it right it would still cut as the power of the sword God surged through his body a strong bright light was released he swung the knife slashing at shun's arm just as shun yelled at him to get lost shun was shocked to see his arm severed and
it fell slamming to the ground in front of giom back when he was still on Earth he once called his boss to ask about gangsters in the middle of the call a sharp object was suddenly thrown at him he shook in fear as he realized it was a knife now lodged in the wall behind him the man reminded him to call him master and asked why he was curious about such things he knew that his first Master had been a former Thug as atonement the man had cut off one of his own wrists and later
opened a Sashimi restaurant saying he wanted to bring happiness to people through his knife skills and his master's skills were indeed impressive curious he asked his master why gangsters in movies always wield sasham knives he wondered if it was like that in real life too his master replied sharply telling him that someone with experience and knife skills shouldn't be asking such questions he explained that if someone stabbed a person with a wi chef's knife the skin would immediately contract his m Master then asked if he thought it would even come out easily he explained that
a Sashimi knife being narrow could stab multiple times and be withdrawn effortlessly when he asked why they didn't just slice since they could slice fish his master yelled that fish could be sliced because they lay down still if they were standing he wouldn't even be able to slice bread in one go he then mentioned that in manga it always looked like a clean slice his master hit him on the back reminding him to call him Master not boss and told him that even if the god of knives were involved it wouldn't work that way but
in his current situation as he sliced shun's arm with the Sashimi knife it worked perfectly shun was in shock staring at his falling arm alongside his brother Jun while the girl looked on in stunned disbelief when shun's arm hit the ground the pain hit him all at once and he screamed in agony shun cried out for his lost arm pleading for help as he saw his opponent approaching him stammering shun shouted at him to stay away but he continued to advance shun now in Terror turned and ran screaming for someone to help him Jun Frozen
in horror watched as his younger brother tried to flee when shun neared his brother gioma moved swiftly slicing shun's head cleanly and half with terrifying ease Jun Paralyzed by the sight stared in disbelief at his brother's severed head he screamed out shun's name filled with both rage and sorrow meanwhile geom mastered silently and the girl continued to watch wide-eyed and shocked Jun reminded himself that this was Subspace and that shun wasn't really dead he tried to calm down thinking that his brother's death didn't matter here but as he stared at shun's lifeless body he noticed
something odd his opponent seemed seemed like someone who had just used a knife on a person for the first time he also noticed the man's ragged breath and trembling wondering if the events were just a coincidence regardless Jun realized he needed to watch out for that knife grabbing shun's hand equipment Jun thought his brother's downfall had been due to carelessness he put the equipment on his own arm and shouted that the weapons were at their best when used with both hands Jun then activated the blessing of resolution which Amplified his defense the blessing of Intervention
which increased his jump Power by 200% and the blessing of spirit which significantly boosted the power of his punches confidently Jen yelled that those were a rank blessings that commoners could only dream of he taunted geomat saying that even an s-rank weapon wouldn't be able to pierce his armor and that he wasn't like his little brother shun meanwhile geoma was enduring the pain quietly counting down from 23 Jun launched himself forward shouting that he had been standing there dumbfounded the whole time he asked mockingly if gioma was mumbling his last words laughing Jun declared he
would smash his head in but giom didn't even Flinch when there were only 6 seconds left in his countdown Jun was suddenly cut to Pieces stabbed repeatedly with the Sashimi knife Jun shook in agony slowly dying giomar remained in the same position still counting down at the final second just as Jun died wondering in his last moments what kind of being his opponent was as the countdown reached zero the system notified him that the effect of the blessing of painlessness had ended he screamed in pain clutching the Sashimi knife later he opened his eyes and
saw that he was in a room he asked himself if it was a hospital and sat up feeling pain coursing through his body just then a man entered the room upon seeing him awake the man immediately stepped out reporting that he had regained Consciousness this surprised him soon after several people entered the room and he was stunned these were faces he had never seen in person before but somehow recognized he remembered 50 years ago these were the same people who defeated the demon Lord's sixth Legion Commander they were the seven star Heroes the strongest of
mankind Sig freed and the Academy's head Sage Med a poison he wondered why on Earth they were here sred was the first to speak asking him for his name he replied kangoma but seed with a serious expression quickly cut to the point asking him what on Earth did you do kangoma hesitated knowing that the sensation he had felt during the battle wasn't just in his imagination it was real he looked at se freed and noticed he was holding a sword realizing the gravity of being noticed by such a monstrous figure giom responded even if it
was a pocket Dimension he judged that the twins actions went too far still and he think his response was excessive so he'll accept any punishment without complaint he then stared back at secred who was still fixated on him media broke the silence calling seced an old fool and asking him how he planned to handle a young one she leaned in closer to geoma adding that even though seced spoke harshly it was he who had cleared his blocked blood vessels while he was unconscious with a playful tone she commented that they say people only get more
stubborn with age and sweetly asked him to give her a break for the sake of her face seek freet clearly flustered shouted at media reminding her not to mention it media hugged him teasing the old fool is embarrassed leaving geoma wondering why SEC Creed had done such a thing for him it dawned on him why his body felt so light or perhaps as damp as a wet feather media meanwhile gazed happily at his shoulders with a gleam of excitement media explained while he was unconscious they extracted the footage of what happened and watched it with
the staff the sight of him throwing himself to protect that poor female student and he were literally the prince she dreamt of she then playfully added he was the prince himself before seek freed interrupted her making her irritated he insisted she show some dignity though media didn't seem too bothered she went on to explain that she's not saying they'll make an issue out of his actions during the exam so he shouldn't need to worry and honestly those twins from the Mau family only got into the academy by buttering up the elders but they've said they'll
withdraw on their own he felt a wave of relief wash over him realizing he wouldn't have to deal with them at school anymore Nidia then told him that they had come to deliver some news he asked what it was and media smiled replying that he was the top scorer and congratulated him geoma blinked in disbelief asking what they meant by that he couldn't believe it his vision of a safe sound and secure future was fading away before his eyes a moment later in media's office she told seced that in her nearly 20 years as head
of the academy it was the first time something like this had ever happened she recalled giom as response when he said he didn't like being the top scorer which shocked both of them she asked if he understood what it meant to be in the star class reminding him that while the elders were Furious the top cadet's decision was based on a result directly graded by the space itself he thought for a moment but still replied that he didn't like it prompting her to ask again if he truly didn't understand seed meanwhile silently observed The Exchange
seed snapped back to attention when media addressed him directly asking if he was upset that gioma took the top spot instead of his granddaughter she reminded him that he had seen the footage himself he replied that it was foolish to question the Judgment of the Subspace which was imbued with with the will of the founding hero the academy had chosen geom the top Cadet and they should simply follow that decision seced reflected that if geom skills had been outstanding he would have understood if goom's physical abilities were exceptional he would have accepted it and if
his experience had been remarkable he would have agreed but what he saw in this young boy who had barely reached adulthood was something more his movements embodied a concept A swordsmanship that se freed had pursued his entire life a level of Mastery yet the unsettling feeling he had when he unblocked goom's meridians lingered goom's body soft and unconditioned as though it had never undergone training seemed to contain something that shouldn't have been there seed side realizing that even at his age he couldn't believe he still had such a competitive Spirit especially toward a boy of
the same age as his granddaughter seek freed was startled again when he heard media praising goom's delicate features and the way he heroically cut down enemies to save a woman in distress she added that if she were just 10 years younger or even now she wondered if she could still try to win him over she asked secred what he thought but he simply responded by asking if she knew what college Cadets call girls like her these days intrigued media urged him to continue daring him to open his big mouth when she asked him again what
they called someone like her he sat down his coffee cup making her even more excited calmly he told her they call you a beach media enraged stood up and attacked seced shaking the entire room the next day giom arrived at his wolf class he knew it was the best compromise he could have made he remembered how media had ordered someone to send him to the the upper class but he insisted on joining the tiger class media had shouted that the top Cadet couldn't be sent to the tiger class but he had argued back questioning why
not when the academy prided itself on equality media had responded that despite that the tiger class was off limits and instead she promised to keep his request a secret knowing that if the elders found out they would cause an even bigger fuss diom Massi as he opened the classroom door frustrated because his plan had been to quietly complete his studies in a lower class without getting caught up in the power struggles of the upper ranks at least this Arrangement was still within his expectations as he entered the door suddenly slammed shut causing a loud noise
he looked around and noticed his classmates staring at him they stared for a moment but when they saw the color of his name tag they quickly averted their gaze and returned to their usual activities as he walked to his seat he thought to himself that they should keep ignoring him just as he preferred when he finally sat down he was amazed that everyone was completely ignoring him he figured that had Master media had managed to keep things under wraps feeling relieved he happily pulled out his book thinking that being a loner had its perks maybe
this was a good thing but just as he began to settle in he heard someone approaching when he looked to his side he saw the girl from the Subspace exam she thanked him for what he did back then he stared at her silently for a moment realizing he didn't remember her she quickly reminded him that she was the girl from the exam he found it odd that she was using such formal language when they were the same age and replied that there was no need to thank him as anyone would have done the same in
that situation although it seemed like he had saved her he knew deep down he was only trying to survive and felt hypocritical he then mentioned that they hadn't properly introduced themselves introducing himself as Kango ma she responded that her name was Khloe he said it was nice to meet her still surprised they ended up in the same class she greeted him in return while he quietly wondered who she really was he had played through most of the game's story but he didn't recognize her name as far as he knew the later stages of the game
focused on the battle against the demon tribe so it was unexpected to meet a new character now then he realized that Khloe might just be a background character like him diom asked if she could keep what happened during the exam a secret to which she immediately agreed she seemed about to say something else when a teacher entered loudly instructing everyone to take their seats diom told Khloe they could talk later and she nodded in agreement the teacher congratulated them on their admission and told them they should be proud as they were all chosen to carry
on the will of the founding hero Valor jokin he introduced himself as Lee wbin the chief instructor of the wolf class Lee explained that since it was their first day they would start with some basic physical training and instructed them to change into their training clothes and gather at the training ground in 30 minutes when one student asked what the training would be Lee replied it was simple 100 push-ups 100 sit-ups 100 squats followed by 10 laps around the training ground he then shouted for everyone to change and gather to which they all responded with
a resounding yes as the students began to file out of the room geom stayed seated wondering if the training was designed to turn Cadets into ball old headed soldiers he approached Lee who asked what was on his mind gioma hoping to find a way out of the tedious training replied that he was feeling a bit sick Lee thought for a moment before telling him that as the top Cadet the basic training wouldn't be very useful for him he suggested that geoma attend star class training on his first day mentioning that the Headmaster had granted him
permission to attend all classes shocked geoma thought to himself media you damn old hack laughing it off geomac quickly said that he just needed to use the restroom urgently and was only feeling a bit sore Lee chuckled and replied that he appreciated goom's straightforwardness saying he would see him at the training ground to which geom replied yes later as giom ran around the training ground he was utterly exhausted Lee shouted at the group that this was just light work and that they should move faster but gioma found himself falling behind feeling like he was dying
just then Khloe appeared beside him asking if the training was too difficult since he looked unwell he laughed weakly replying that he was fine she asked what lap he was on and he guessed guessed it was his fifth surprised he asked her what lap she was on as she seemed to be running behind as well to his shock she replied that she was on her ninth lap she then encouraged him to keep going shouting that he could do it before speeding off leaving geom suffering and exhausted days later in goom's dorm room empty water bottles
littered the floor and surfaces he slammed another one down on the table and cursed he was starving a week into Academy life he had encountered an unexpected problem at the cafeteria he had rushed to the counter shouting that he was hungry and ordered a pork belly Rice Bowl in a hurry however the cafeteria lady stared at the meal ticket box next to him that's when he realized the food wasn't free embarrassed he told her he'd get the ticket right away and asked if she could prepare the meal in advance but he froze when he saw
the price ,01 for a pork belly Rice Bowl the other items on the menu ranged from 25,000 one to 150,000 one he stood in horror unable to believe the prices back in his dorm he drank the last drop from his water bottle and angrily tossed it decide he thought 50,000 W for a pork belly Rice Bowl was outrageous his living expenses were nearly gone and he remembered refusing pocket money from his father staring at the empty bottles on the floor he rolled onto his bed cursing himself for not accepting the money when he had the
chance for days he'd been surviving on the cheapest water from the campus store suddenly a system notification appeared showing his physical state had increased to 12 as his physical condition improved the sword specifications relaxed activating a blessing for swords 32 CM or shorter and 6 cm or less in width smiling he stood up and looked at himself in the mirror admiring his abs and thinking the effort hadn't been wasted he wondered if the blessing of the sword God had cleared his blood vessels feeling as if he were evolving despite his progress he knew the blessing
hadn't fully expanded if he continued improving step by step he might be able to handle a short sword soon staring at the Sashimi knives on his counter he recalled how terrified he had been of holding a blade during the entrance ceremony now if he wasn't holding a knife his hands itched making him wonder if this was the blessing's influence scratching his head he asked himself why he felt so proud just then someone knocked on his door when he opened it he found Chloe standing there she asked if she had Disturbed his rest to which he
replied no as he was just lying down he asked what was going on she explained that she hadn't seen him in the cafeteria all week and was worried he might not be feeling well he awkwardly replied that he usually didn't eat food made by others although in truth he loved food made by others and was starving she nodded understanding and told him not to worry then she suggested that if he was up for it they could buy ingredients from the campus store and make dinner together without hesitation he grabbed his jacket and told her they
should go leaving her confused he asked if she was inviting him to dinner and she confirmed a bit surprised he happily led the way telling her that he was good at cooking and would handle it he asked if her dorm was across the way to which she replied yes still chasing after him as he walked with excitement later in Khloe's dorm she exclaimed how delicious as the food was gioma smiled and said he was glad she liked it she complimented him on how quickly and skillfully he had prepared the meal admitting she had only ever
boiled fish and never thought she'd get to taste cooking like that he quietly stared at the empty plates pleased earlier he had asked if he could check her fridge and she had agreed when he opened it he noticed it was full of fish she explained she was from a Seaside area which made sense to him he smiled realizing he was itching to cook again deciding to treat himself he thought about slicing some Sashimi but hesitated due to the sword God's blessing eyeing the kitchen knives on the counter he asked if she had a longer knife
Chloe was confused but when he explained that his weapon was similar to those kinds of Swords she understood she handed him a knife and asked if it would work but he decided to stick with the kitchen knife grabbing the knife he decided to finish in 30 seconds activating the blessing of painlessness he focused on the Sashimi remembering that he had once been the best swordsman in the country he activated the sword God's blessing and sliced through the fish finishing in 21 seconds in that time he scaled the fish split the bones removed the entrails and
feted the flesh the result was so perfect it felt like a masterpiece and he was proud to still have his skills Chloe asked how he was so good at cooking and he replied that he used to work part-time at a Japanese restaurant she then asked what a part-time job was surprising him he asked if she didn't know what it was and she apologized he told her there was no need to apologize attributing the confusion to their difference in status changing the subject he told her he was glad she enjoyed the meal and she nodded happily
offering to wash up since he had cooked he thanked her and left her to it as she rushed to the sink he walked to the window and stared at the Moon feeling full and satisfied humming a tune to himself however he was interrupted by the sound of plates falling followed by Khloe's repeated apologies he wondered if she had ever done the dishes before thinking back to when he had been her age and doing the same chores suddenly a note fell onto the table flipping open when it landed surprised he realized it was Khloe's diary the
round handwriting and cute stickers made him thinks she was just like any other girl her age he intended to put it back but the air flipped it open revealing an entry he read that the person who saved her during the exam turned out to be in her class and his name was g ma the entry said her heart raced whenever she saw him and she didn't know how to approach him he smiled thinking it was cute realizing that this was why she hadn't been able to talk to him before curious he flipped through a few
more pages his eyes widened and shock when he saw a page written repeatedly I love him at that moment a loud crash came from the sink he turned to see Chloe standing there terrified she asked him in a trembling voice if he had seen her diary heroic families gain Honor by slaying monsters receiving society's admiration and solidifying their positions yet Within These stagnant institutions vested interests often exploit the weak under the guys of authority when public authorities fail to condemn such exploitation one heroic family steps into the Shadows the auditor do cicilia family this family
operates covertly aiming for justice while combining order maintenance with assassination those born Born Into the auditor family undergo mental conditioning before puberty suppressing their emotions and enduring grueling training to become assassins Chloe was only 15 when she first killed she had been startled to see a man tied to a pole but the old man at her side forced her forward placing a sword in her hand and making her deliver the Fatal blow afterward he reminded her not to deny her talents as an assassin these were words she had heard repeatedly even before adulthood the constant
training warped her mind casting a deep Shadow over her heart by the time her sense of self had been worn away leaving only fragments of emotion Khloe was ready to enroll at the jokin Academy at the Academy where students were assigned to classes based on individual skill members of the auditor family despite their exceptional abilities were always placed in the common class due to a long-standing tradition and an agreement with the academy although the auditor family operated in the shadows their skills far surpassed those of the Dragon class Chloe's grandfather had ordered her to remain
unnoticed the family's strict control took away her personal freedom for ing her to follow the path of an assassin she obeyed without a word believing that nothing would change no matter what she did at least that's what she thought until she met geoma during the Subspace Battle Royale Khloe encountered death for the first time though it wasn't real in that space despite the gravity of the situation she wasn't afraid having long accepted her fate she faced death calmly no longer struggling against it but something shifted when she saw gioma fight it was as if a
storm had parted letting sunlight break through for the first time she felt felt the desire to wield her sword for someone else not just out of Duty it was geom asell that stirred something warm within her she recalled a childhood memory a fairy tale she had secretly kept hidden by her bedside it was about a prince rescuing a princess from a castle her face flushed as she realized the connection an unfamiliar feeling filling her chest love in the present gioma found himself cursing under his breath watching as Khloe seemed lost in thought he laughed awkwardly
trying to ease the tension but her silence and unblinking stare only made him feel more uncomfort able he realized something had gone wrong wondering if it had been when he first saw her vulnerability or when he foolishly joined her for dinner trying to salvage the situation gioma made a polite comment about the evening hoping to lighten the mood but she remained fixated on him he thanked her for the dinner preparing to leave but her gaze lingered on him and she asked if he had seen it confused gioma asked what she meant Chloe removed her gloves
and her attention shifted to the diary on the table realization hit him she was referring to her diary he attempted to downplay the situation suggesting that she must have worked hard on her studies but she corrected him making it clear she was talking about her Personal Diary he felt a surge of unease how had she known he had seen it he wondered if she had somehow seen him reading it without him noticing then something else struck him Khloe was using formal language again despite his earlier insistence that she didn't need to she suddenly seemed like
a completely different person he quickly denied seeing anything but Khloe asked him again if he was sure he repeated his denial but she pressed him not to lie realizing there was no point in denying it further he admitted that he had seen it for a moment she simply stared at him and then to his shock she slowly Drew her Katana from its sheath horror surged through him as he glanced down at the edge of the roof they were on the fourth floor and if he jumped he knew he'd be smashed to Pieces looking around he
realized there was only one exit the door next to Chloe he was trapped a loud scraping sound broke the tension and when he peaked over his shoulder his blood ran cold Khloe was dragging her Katana along the floor walking slowly toward him like a puppet her movements devoid of emotion he couldn't believe what he was seeing was she even aware of what she was doing her pupils were still and her red eyes looked lifeless that's when it hit him she had all the signs of a yandere he recalled her energetic personality so full of life
that could change in an instant was this a split personality the realization that she might be a yandere with a split personality was terrifying enough but the fact that he had triggered this shift by opening her diary made it worse he knew the situation was dangerous she would likely chase him until she succeeded in killing him so he had to find a way to escape and ensure his survival he could sense that Khloe's killing intent was even stronger than the ma Brothers making him curse under his breath Academy life was turning out to be far
more dangerous than he'd expected he needed to get out of this situation first his thoughts raised and then he remembered that he still had 9 seconds left on his painless blessing however his Sashimi knife was back in his room and the knife he had used earlier was too far away if he tried to reach for it he was certain he'd lose an arm or or Worse suddenly Khloe raised her Katana and in a panic he stepped back hitting the table behind him his eyes fell on a small cutter lying there she leaped at him swinging
her Katana with deadly Precision desperate he grabbed the cutter knowing full well that talking his way out of this was unlikely to work as he prepared to defend himself a system notification appeared showing that his mental state had risen along with this his Ingenuity increased and words and actions became temporarily imbued with an aura of intimidation the restraining power adjusted to fit him and the Divine protection of the sword God was activated as they met in the middle he tried a different approach commenting on her hair saying it was slightly too long and that he
would trim it a bit in that moment they both released their slashes simultaneously later Khloe woke up in her bed searching for geomat looking around her room she remembered him standing by the window while she was doing the dishes she had been sneaking glances at him Panic said and when she suddenly recalled her Katana but seeing it resting safely next to her study table she sighed in relief she off lost Consciousness when handling the katana a side effect of her conditioning her thoughts drifted to the old man who had always praised her for her Talent
as an assassin telling her not to worry after each kill and reminding her to never deny her abilities frustrated she slammed her face into her pillow calling herself a fool for fainting embarrassed she thought about giom wondering if she had said anything strange when she lost Consciousness then her eyes fell on the cutter lying on the floor confused she held her hair up to her face and realized it had been cut shorter glancing at at the trash bin she saw the cut strands of hair and guessed that gioma must have cleaned up before leaving blushing
she thought to herself how kind gioma was in hurried to grab her diary eager to write down her thoughts before she forgot as she scribbled her entry focused on how much she admired him meanwhile giom was outside the dorm struggling and vomiting by the side of the path he was relieved to have survived the situation with Khloe but knew he had pushed his Blessing too far going 5 Seconds over the 9-second limit which left him physically ill he tried to suppress the nost but it was no use he ended up throwing up everything he had
eaten for dinner sitting on a nearby bench he felt the hunger return his entire meal now gone as he stared at the Moon gioma reflected on Khloe and her abilities normally swordsmanship is about striking decisively to end a fight but the way Khloe fought was different her blade relentlessly targeted vital points almost as if it were designed for Ambush tactics he realized that had she ambushed him his head would have been taken off without a doubt feeling threatened he had instinctively aimed for her nape during their encounter thankfully the cutter he wielded was short so
he only managed to cut her hair he side relieved that he had cleaned up the situation quickly and that there shouldn't be any further complications though he admitted to himself that finding stability Safety and Security in this world was proving far more difficult than he anticipated he reflected on how much harder it was to Simply lead an ordinary life when he was first thrown into this strange Shameless gam likee world he hadn't lacked ambition for someone who had once reigned at the Pinnacle with nothing more than a sasham knife giving up on the Romantic idea
of living as a man had been a tough choice but he knew that everyone had their assigned role he then thought about the game he was now living in the blessing of Miracles was the unique blessing of the game's protagonist who giom had yet to encounter alongside it was the blessing of Valor from Balor hoken he remembered that these were the only two legendary blessings in the game and their contents were intuitive the protagonist wielded both the holy Sword and the demon sword bamong in contrast geomac could only use Sashimi knives a fact that made
him wonder if any further explanation of his fate was even necessary slapping his face to refocus geom reminded himself of his goal since entering the academy the constant encounters with unrealistic characters and bizarre situations had distracted him from what he came to achieve he realized that he had been sidetracked by various events and began to wonder if there was anyone ordinary in this world at all despite having a vague understanding of the key characters in the game geom still felt his knowledge of this world was lacking after all it had only been little over a
week since he entered the academy according to the game story the main character's blessing was due to activate soon with the enrollment process almost complete geoman knew the real story was finally about to begin geoman knew the general plot of the game but having never seen the ending gave him an advantage at least up to the midpoint he decided that no matter what happened he should stick to the official route if things strayed too far off course it would waste whatever benefits he might gain from his knowledge he recalled that the story took a much
darker turn in the second semester of the third year when the birth of a hero would cause the demon race to unite under their demon Lords and threaten the academy this would lead to a full-scale war between demons and Humanity he remembered the game's typical cliche fantasy plot and as someone who had once sought a Charming youthful life he never got to experience he had deleted the game halfway through now though the realization that this terrible war was real chilled him making him wonder if he too was doomed to die in it but he shook
off those thoughts deciding that with nearly 3 years left he needed a more real istic goal than mere escapism he couldn't allow himself to die quietly in this world he needed to get stronger and survive most mass-produced games like this one tended to have Happy Endings and he guessed that the protagonist would save the world but he couldn't rely on that alone he needed power to protect himself he couldn't live with the constant fear of dying in a war caught up in events Beyond his control that meant training but he would have to do it
without drawing too much attention if he stood out he risked being conscripted to fight against the demon Army something he needed to avoid at all all costs he also reminded himself to be cautious with the blessing of painlessness though he picked up the Sashimi knife out of necessity The Strain on his body from using the blessing was too great a system notification appeared showing his Blessing stats and though the performance looked impressive there was a lot of new information he wasn't sure how to interpret he focused on the stats noting that his physical mental and
weapon ranks seemed to represent his levels of growth his eyes landed on the assimilation rate but when he tried to check what it meant the system blocked his ACC access telling him that conditions had not yet been met it didn't seem important for now What mattered most was his physical training and he needed a new weapon relying solely on the blessing of painlessness for 30 seconds wouldn't work forever and he also needed to train with swords that didn't meet the conditions for the sword God's blessing next month's practical combat training would replace the midterm exams
and the reward for excelling was the murasama a B- ranked sword gioma knew that if he could handle it skillfully it would be enough to carry him through graduation its specification didn't meet the activation conditions for the sword God's blessing so it wouldn't put as much strain on him as his primary weapon realizing he had more to do than he thought gioma was suddenly interrupted by someone calling his name when he turned he saw Abel standing nearby telling him that he was sitting in her spot he froze in shock staring at her speechless sweat ran
down his face as he struggled to respond and for a moment he couldn't move Abel asked if he could shift over a bit snapping him out of his days embarrassed he moved aside wondering why he had been staring so blankly at her Abel told him there was no need to leave the bench completely just to make a little space he obliged still at a loss for words he shilly wondered what she meant by her spot weren't bench's public property was this something related to the Academy's class system he knew getting involved with able the heroine
would only complicate the main story so he resolved to avoid her even though it was awkward but when he saw her lips he cursed silently she really was beautiful he was startled when abble mentioned that the spot offered the best view of the Stars he didn't respond immediately still staring at her and trying to reconcile her appearance with the Abel he knew from the game the memory of Abel being the sword Saint's granddaughter and the protagonist difficult to approach love interest made him uneasy Abel then asked if his weapon was also a sword surprising him
when he asked how she knew she explained that her grandfather had told her she added that sword Masters had a certain look in their eyes and as she stared at him gioma felt his face grow hot she then handed him her sword offering him the chance to hold it he took it commenting that it didn't feel particular heavy Abel sulked in response turning away leaving geomat to wonder if she was really upset Abel was harder to get used to than he'd anticipated was this truly the same Abel he remembered from the game Abel turned her
gaze back to him asking if he knew who she was giom wondered if Abel was being suspicious of him even though there wasn't a single student at the Academy who wouldn't know who she was he responded vaguely saying he knew her roughly Abel however pointed out that she didn't know him at all which left him unsure of what she wanted she remarked that it seemed unfair for him to know her name when she had no idea who he was when he hesitated Abel teasingly suggested that he might be a Demon Lord spy disguised as a
student sneaking into the academy after all she continued there didn't seem to be any other reason for him to be sitting there alone at that hour her words left him wondering what she truly meant but before he could ask she raised her sword at him leaving him in disbelief he tried turning the question back on her asking what she was doing but Abel simply replied that she had been exercising and training pointing at him she asked what kind of of exercise he had been doing flustered he said he was practicing breathing which left her momentarily
stunned and confused as the conversation shifted gooman noticed wounds on her hands and when Abel realized he was staring she quickly hid them behind her back growing shy and falling silent for a moment gioma broke the silence telling her that she was quite dedicated to her training to which she agreed she confessed that few people understood the pressure of inheriting the blood of nium she felt the need to always be perfect because in her world even the slightest flaw could lead to harsh criticism Abel asked if he knew she wasn't the top student that year
she admitted that losing to someone for the first time in her life had been a humbling experience however she found it refreshing in a way still she was curious about who had beaten her vowing to take them down the next time they met her bold statement stunned geoma causing him to cough in shock he awkwardly suggested that it wasn't necessary to take them down but abble quickly dismissed his words saying it was a matter of Pride she had even begged her grandfather to tell her who the top student was but found out that they weren't
even in her class and had skipped the top student swearing in ceremony Abel expressed disb belief that a second place student like herself could tolerate such a thing snapping out of her train of thought Abel suddenly realized she had been sharing all of this with someone she had just met dioma asked why she was telling him all of this to which she replied that he seemed weak she went on to explain that her family motto was to be strict with the strong and merciful to the week leaving geom staring at her in disbelief Abel added
that the students in her class were so Bland she didn't really have any friends making gioma realize why she had seemed so cold toward the protagonist in the game stretching her body Abel stood up saying she should head inside and bid him goodbye just before walking away she turned and shouted asking when he would tell her his name he responded that he didn't want to causing her to shout at him in frustration as she left the next day geom sat in class reflecting on how his Academy life had been flowing by smoothly and steadily he
kept a low profile especially around Khloe who had Blended in well and even made friends on the other hand he avoided eye contact with her out of fear still shaken by their last encounter occasionally when their eyes did meet Khloe's new friends would glare at him coldly however the disdainful looks didn't bother him much anymore after all he wasn't the only exceptional student in the tiger class there were simply too few of them and for some reason there was a general reluctance among the exceptional students to stand out giom my guess this reluctance stemmed from
a kind of inferiority complex reflecting on his decision he felt relieved that he hadn't chosen a higher class this was the time when students in the star and Dragon classes began forming factions and engaging in heavy political maneuvering something that even made goom's head spin when he thought about it back when he played the game the Intrigue had been enough to make anyone's tongue whack and as a commoner the idea of being assigned to those upper classes was chilling looking at the Black Card in his hand goomas smiled feeling glad that he was finally eating
well again he thought about what he should have for today's meal remembering how media had given him the card explaining that it was supposed to be his reward for being the top student she had apologized for the delay and now geomac couldn't help but feel thankful as he stared happily at the black card he thought that the level of favor he had received was so great it almost warranted Bowing in front of the headmaster's office three times a day for the first time he sincerely thanked media in his heart diom questioned whether he was Faithfully
fulfilling his duties as a student reflecting on his actions so far he felt confident that he hadn't done anything to disrupt the main scenario which gave him a sense of ACC lishment with that in mind he decided that if he could continue like this for the next 3 years he might just reach the future he envisioned for himself later during class their instructor taught them about the history of the first demon War which had broken out 700 years ago the hero Valor hoken foreseeing the need to cultivate the next generation of Heroes established the academy
with his seven disciples the instructor emphasized that this part would be on the exam but gioma felt sleepy he vaguely remembered the details recalling that Valor hoken had fought against against lyen the right-hand man of the Demon Lord and commander of the first Legion after 20 years of bloody conflict Valor hoken emerged Victorious but at Great personal cost he lost an arm and could no longer fight the war had been brutal with no clear Victor on either side fortunately a ceasefire was reached and hoken established the academy to train future generations of Heroes the instructor
went on to explain that the first demon War had resulted in a non-aggression pact between humans and demons leading to 700 years of Peace one student asked asked if they would see another war in their lifetime but his friend jokingly replied that he was more worried about what to wear to tomorrow's party diom however knew that the end of this long piece was fast approaching though no one else seemed to realize it everyone had become so accustomed to piece that it felt natural but geom man knew better he considered giving media a hint but he
feared it could lead to unforeseen consequences media often spoke about wanting to step down as Academy director but geoman knew she was crucial to the upcoming events her unique Divine protection The Poets blessing made her the first to detect the impending threat and she would be the first among the Seven Star Heroes to rush to the front lines to protect the students although giom hadn't played that far in the game he remembered reading on Kumi that media would be the first of the sevenstar heroes to be sacrificed by the demon Lord's army back then seeing
it online hadn't affected him much he had simply thought of it as another game event but now with everything feeling so real the thought of media's Fate weighed heavily on him he wished in some way that she hadn't been so perceptive the instructor announced the end of class reminding everyone to study hard for the midterms in 2 weeks as students began leaving the room a commotion stirred outside other students asked what was happening and geomat curious wondered what all the noise was about suddenly someone shouted in excitement asking if it was them alarmed geomac quickly
checked the date his heart sank as he realized what was happening it was May 15th he rushed out of the room as a crowd began Gathering his mind racing if his memory served him correctly today was the day it was the enrollment date of the the world's protagonist Leon van Reinhardt the day when the cracks in the long 700 years of Peace would begin to show well guys that's the end of the video If you like this video comment part two in the comment section also subscribe to the channel hit the bell and like the
