The Academy Heroines Remember My Death

Chapter 10: First Exam

First Exam

Then, did you actually die 100,000 times, for us?

Stop making it seem so grandiose. I just did what I wanted.

After listening to my whole explanation,

Seo-ah couldnt stop herself from crying again.

Regret? Gratitude?

As I saw Seo-ahs various emotions intersect,

I felt a little embarrassed.

Because all the things I did,

Was because I was furious when I saw the things they went through,

Didnt it hurt? No, it must have hurt. It must have been pure agony. You must have felt so lonely

Seo-ahs tears didnt stop.

While looking uneasy,

I could see her checking to see if I was okay.

I even twisted my words a bit, but shes still this affected

It was the first time Id ever seen Seo-ah cry this much.

Despite my attempt to soften the story so Seo-ah wouldnt be shocked, her tears wouldnt stop.

I couldnt believe the most rational one amongst us reacted this strongly,

I honestly didnt think she would be this shocked

Its a bit too much

Of course, this wasnt the first time I had heard someone thank me,

But still, it was a bit burdening to see someone directly express this much gratitude for my actions.

Perhaps I should say I wasnt used to hearing compliments like this.

Feeling very awkward, I calmed Seo-ah down and changed the subject.

Anyway, you think Ha-eun and Hyun dont remember anything, right?

Yes. I talked to Ha-eun and Hyun as soon as I came to the academy, but they acted like it was the first time they ever saw me.

When I asked her for information on Ha-eun and Lee Hyun, Seo-ah replied that she didnt know.

I wasnt really surprised.

I made the question knowing how Seo-ah would answer.

But, do you really plan to enroll at the academy?

I remained silent after listening to Seo-ahs words.

Seo-ah asked me another question.

I dont completely remember the full six years, but I at the very least remember how the Academy leeched off of us until there was nothing left. On top of that, if it is as you say, Si-woo, there is someone even more dangerous than that. Would it not be better to not enter the Academy with Ha-eun and Hyun?

Seo-ah asked me whether it would be best not to enter the academy. It was a valid concern but, I had no intention of skipping.

No, I will attend. I have to attend the academy. I will thoroughly destroy this place and get back at that bastard for killing us.

Is that even possible? Honestly, our skill level cant even begin to compare to the professors. Maybe in 6 years, but

Its possible. If not, Ill make it possible. Havent I always brought significant results whenever I was this confident? So just trust me. If were the only ones to run away, its obvious that the other students will die just like us.

I said something that would convince Seo-ah.

After all, Seo-ah wasnt the type of person to overlook the misfortune of others.

Okay. If you say as much, I guess there must be a way to solve this. I will believe in you, just as I have always done.

Seo-ah agreed to attend the academy again, just as I had expected.

As it was about time for the first exam to begin,

I took the now mostly calm Seo-ah and led her into the auditorium.

Of course

Seo-ah. Before we go, want to play rock paper scissors? But you always throw out rock and I always throw out paper.

Pardon?

Just play along.

O-okay.

I had to copy her skills before we went.

She had a lot of skills after all.

I couldnt just pretend not to know, right?

***

Next number, please come forward.

As soon as we went back into the auditorium,

We could see that they were still in the middle of the magic orb test.

When I entered the auditorium, all eyes were on me for a moment,

But, the attention soon faded, maybe because of the tension over what grade each person would receive.

Of course, I was about to make that attention focus on me again.

Lets check my status window one more time.

This time, I will definitely give this entrance exam my wall.

If my prediction was correct,

I would be able to grow a lot just from the entrance exam alone.

So I checked my status window to check my abilities one last time,

[Status window]

Name: Park Si-woo

Level: 19 (1st Stage Awakener)

Status: Expectant

[Strength: 10] [Stamina: 1] [Agility: 1] [Magic: 28] [Luck: 1]

(Remaining attribute points are 21.)

Skills:

Ability Copy(S) Magi Manipulation(S) Large Explosion(B) Magic Manipulation (E) Continuous Slash(D) Chaotic Slash(B)

Including the Chaotic Slash skill that I got from Seo-ah earlier,

It was quite a satisfactory status window.

After the Undead dungeon, I went through a few more dungeons.

But still, considering I leveled up this much in just a day,

I could feel that I had achieved tremendous growth.

You need to be over level 20 to become a 2nd Stage Awakener,

So Ive only needed 1 level to go until then.

Okay, lets move on.

As I was checking my status window,

A familiar figure entered the auditorium.

Wow What kind of grade do you think Yu Ha-eun will get?

Shes the most promising, so probably around grade B?

No, I mean, even so. I bet theres not many people who got to grade B before the entrance exam.

Huh? But still, its not like there hasnt been anybody who got to grade A before the entrance exam.

But those are very special cases. If you put it that way, they say the current headmaster of the academy got an S rating from the start.

Yu Ha-eun.

When it was the turn of this girl, who was not only my colleague but the academys most promising student, the auditorium grew noisy.

But even that kind of conversation,

Became quiet as soon as Ha-eun spoke.

Because

Please place your hand on the magic orb. Although it wont break easily even, if a 5th Stage Awakener attacked it seriously, its still expensive so please handle it with care.

Fufu I will have to make sure the power of the rampaging dragon within me doesnt break it If I break this, everyone might become afraid of my very existence!

Ah Yes. Well, even if you break it, we will consider it a part of the exam, so we wont ask you for compensation

Apparently, personalities didnt change so easily,

She was showing herself tense up, as ever.

Spewing out lines as if she was some chunnibyo,¹Editor Note: A term used to describe someone (Usually early teens) with grandiose delusions. It is often done for attention and of a genuine belief that they hold some secret power, it is also referred to as Second-Grade Syndrome. Ha-eun will be referred to that a lot going forward.

It just looked like a child making themselves look like an adult, so it was quite amusing.

But still, her skill is impossible to ignore.

Even if she looked and acted like a little kid,

She possessed a once-in-a-century talent.

If I look at her status window with the Eye of Greed,

[Status window]

Name: Yu Ha-eun

Level: 51 (3rd Stage Awakener)

Status: Expectant

[Strength: 22] [Stamina: 20] [Agility: 19] [Magic: 71] [Luck: 23]

(Remaining attribute points are 0.)

Skills:

Holy Arrow(D) Mana Explosion(C) Fireball(D) Mana Manipulation(E) Ice Sculpture(C) Teleportation(B) Mass Teleportation(A) Psychokinesis(B) Large Explosion(B) Summon Meteorite(B)

Points heavily invested in magic, befitting that of a wizard.

On top of that, if one saw her level which would be thought to be impossible for a freshman,

You could clearly see how talented she was in combat.

Then, please place your hand on the magic ball. Following the guides instructions, Ha-eun touched the magic ball. And with that, the electronic displayed,

[A-Class]

The phrase appeared.

Shit, is this for real?

This is crazy. If I had that level of talent.

Thats insane

And as soon as they saw it,

Feelings of admiration, respect, and inferiority poured out into the auditorium.

Ha-eun didnt get an A-class evaluation just because she was level 51.

That object actually evaluated ones potential.

Even if a player was at the same level,

If they have no talent, they could get C-class.

Therefore, this reaction was only natural.

Lets see, I remember me being the one after this one.

As far as I could remember,

My turn was two places after Ha-eun.

I think my grade back then was a D.

It wasnt extremely low,

But still, it was a grade that couldnt be seen as high.

And after Ha-euns turn

Si-woo! Hyun is there!

He is.

It was Lee Hyuns turn to take the magic test.

Lee Hyun was quite small for a man.

Unlike Ha-eun, Lee Hyun went up quite nervous,

While he looked around at peoples reactions.

Honestly, theres something about Lee Hyun I dont really like.

It wasnt because he was a man.

We were in the same party, after all.

He even made an effort to become close to Ha-eun and Seo-ah.

But, even though we spent 6 years together, he kept on putting up this invisible wall.

Whenever we were about to get close,

He would pull back and avoid me, and I didnt really like that.

Maybe we could say it felt like he kept on pushing us away.

Despite the fact I had saved him so many times.

Lets first see his skills.

Unlike my previous lives, this time I had this artifact called Eye of Greed.

Lets see what Hyuns skills look like at this point,

[Status window]

Name: Lee Hyun-a

Level: 17 (1st Stage Awakener)

Status: Nervous

[Strength: 7] [Stamina: 3] [Agility: 4] [Magic: 0] [Luck: 31]

(Remaining attribute points are 0.)

Skills:

Illusion(B) Nightmare(S) Powerful Attack(C)

?

What is this?

Is this artifact broken already?

First of all, his stats were way too low for his level,

And on top of that, there were so many other questions to be asked about his status window, including his name

Or, had this guy never actually given us his real name?

You can rate this series here.
