I Became the Villain’s Childhood Friend

97 – [2] Isn’t this a scam?

#097

It was strange.

It was so strange that it was bizarre.

Why is the person called Professor here?

Why is he riding on a carpet?

‘I did the test, got the card, and drilled the trap, but the professor came out?’

Several questions filled Xian Kang’s head.

No matter how much I think about it, I tried to scatter the professors in a situation that could not be explained logically.

Judged that there would be no clue whatsoever.

However, even if he stared closely at them, there were no clues, only suspicions.

Dark clothing and black rags caused suspicion.

Dark skin and distinctive features revealed that he was a Mestizo, a mixed race.

The skull and dangling decorations around his neck suggested that he was a necromancer.

A rather expensive-looking magic carpet showed her social status.

“I am Professor Fernanda Zapata, who is in charge of the School of Psychiatry at Palaistra Academy, especially in the field of magic.”

And Professor Fernanda, who has everything, smiled and said,

Sure enough, she seemed to imply that she could rest from now on.

Kang Xian and the members of the group are quietly watching.

Instinctively, as if slightly awkward, he lowered his head.

“Oh, hello. Professor Fernanda.”

“Well, the exam is over anyway. Don’t be too nervous.”

The exam is over?

Xian Kang looked at her as if she were puzzled.

The professor took her words lightly.

She motioned for me to come right here.

‘What are you trying to say? No matter how much I try, nothing comes to mind.’

Kang Xian was conflicted at the edge of her railing.

Beyond this was the far-off ground or the magic carpet.

“You can climb the rug with muddy shoes. Hurry.”

I gulped down and looked at the professor.

Hand gestures, hand gestures.

She stepped onto the rug, which looked like it could land on it at any moment.

It looked like it would fall off, but the carpet was harder than expected.

To Xian Kang, she felt as stable as if she were stepping on her tiles.

After a while, the professor motioned for Kang Xian to sit down.

“Oh, you guys, get on board too.”

Notified to the rest of the crew.

Starting with a thousand horses, they got on the carpet.

It was wider than I thought, so I was able to sit at an appropriate interval.

There was no fear of falling, but unlike the others, Shannon fell.

“Hee, hee hee…… !”

For the first time in my life, I have tried a rug.

I was barely able to sit down, completely frozen.

The carpet swayed slightly as the wind blew lightly.

The tension among the members increased at the unfamiliar feeling.

The professor seems to be trying to lighten the mood.

He pointed at each member of his team with his finger.

“Well, the first place in this exam is all tall! The first place in the last exam was at a level where I couldn’t use it.”

“First place…… Yo. This?”

“Yes, first place! First place in the placement test this time.”

First place in the exam.

That should have meant that the exam was over.

However, this place was not the destination.

Rather, it was only around the mid-lower ranks because it moved closer to reverse driving.

“Professor, that…… I’m sorry, but isn’t this your destination?”

“Isn’t it? Not a destination But you guys are definitely number one.”

It’s not a destination, but you are number one.

There was no match because it was contradictory.

The moment Kang Xian tilted his head.

Professor Fernanda gently swept the rug on the floor.

“You can just get on this and get off in front of your destination.”

“…… Riding on it and getting off in front?”

Isn’t this against the rules?

In the first place, I heard that arriving by car is forbidden.

“Is it because of the regulations?”

“Yes? Yes.”

“It must have been written on the back page that ‘vehicles approved by the person concerned are exceptions.’ Didn’t you read it carefully?”

“Yes? Was there anything like that?”

It was the first time I had heard of it.

I hurriedly took out a piece of paper from my bag and checked it, and I saw a list of all kinds of precautions and exceptions in tiny letters.

In the United States, a country of lawsuits, they desperately try to avoid punishment by any means.

I thought only companies were like that, but it seemed like the academy was like this too.

‘Isn’t this a scam?’

Still, given its small size, the possibility of being sued seemed very high.

Kang Xian was astonished at the academy’s behavior of donating litigation expenses to freshmen.

“Looks like you only found out now. Well, to be honest, there was an intention to hide it to some extent, so it’s only natural.”

I shamelessly tried to hide this.

In fact, it was said that this test itself was a huge deception.

“This, what the heck… ….”

“Why did you do that? If I hadn’t done this, you would have noticed before the start and went to your destination quickly.”

“Wait, wait. What is your destination? Then we don’t have to walk the entire 64km?”

“Isn’t that obvious? In fact, the same goes for the other kids besides you.”

It is said that Palaistra Academy aims to be the best hunter, but the 64km marathon was something that even an incumbent S-class hunter would refuse.

What kind of person in the world is a test and counts until the night to reach the destination?

Unless you have a major problem with the frontal lobe.

It was something I would never do.

So the 64km walk was a kind of false goal.

It doesn’t matter if you really walk, but there are several faster ways than that.

“How many professors and employees like me are waiting all over the course right now.”

“Course…… Everywhere? Are there many professors?”

“Yes, the former professor was mobilized for this test. Right now, there will be some more after this.”

With that, he pointed at the empty space behind him.

As I stared at it, I could see the doll faintly.

“How…… ?”

“Isn’t that the capacity of this academy? Everyone, show yourselves for a moment!”

The transparent curtain disappeared as soon as the words were finished.

A long line formed in a place I thought would be empty.

Magic carpet and magic broomstick professors.

Various people waved at Xian Kang and his companions.

“Hello guys~”

“Honestly, the existing method was too rigid. The results were getting weirder every year.”

“Last year and the year before last, there was a combination of 4 porters from 1st to 10th, but this time it’s pretty good because we changed the way.”

“It was not for nothing that a conclusion was reached at last year’s meeting that this assignment test should be conducted experimentally.”

“Well, if this is the case, next time I can improve it a bit. I’m so glad.”

“Guys! When you apply for the lecture next week, be sure to apply for the Hunter and Mass Media lecture!”

Professors waiting to take freshmen.

It was shocking that such professors weren’t the only ones here.

“Then the other kids besides us… ….”

“If you solve hints or riddles and find these special places, someone is waiting for you? If that person gives them a ride, they will go to their destination too.”

“And we got here before the kids who were supposed to.”

“To be more precise. You are the first to arrive at the first special location!”

That’s how it happened.

The first place within the physical range was Xian Kang and his teammates.

“Well, if you look closely, it’s the second one. The first kids didn’t have a key card because they didn’t take the battle test. You are number one.”

First place in over 12,500 groups.

It was an unexpected level of achievement in a test that I didn’t expect anything from.

Wouldn’t the ancestors who have fallen asleep come out through the coffin to the great feat of their descendants?

Kang Xian couldn’t bear to speak the reality of his ancestors scratching lottery tickets in hell.

“Well, there is nothing good about staying here. I’ll start off slowly. Sit well so you don’t fall.”

Tok tok.

He hit the floor with his finger.

Then the carpet began to cross the sky more smoothly than the car.

A speed comparable to that of a decent car had to affect the occupants.

But maybe it was because of the magic, nothing happened, only the hair fluttered slightly.

In a situation full of mysteries.

The carpet was flying over the main road before I knew it.

“Umm, it seems I haven’t gone as far as I thought. I’m bored. Shall we take a look downstairs?”

I was in the middle of looking down.

Professor Fernanda pointed to the numerous freshmen on the ground.

This is where you will get hit if someone casts magic.

I went down to a point 11 meters from the ground.

Everybody could be in danger.

However, being a professor always had a strong heart.

I didn’t care.

The party proudly passed over the temporary building where the battle test was held.

“Isn’t that where you were tested?”

“Yes, I don’t know if they are tested only there.”

“The final test is the criterion for combat analysis. There are a lot of testing rooms, but hearing them all is meaningless.”

“Then, just do it once like we did and find a place like a steel tower—”

“What the elf girl thinks is right. Finding a special place as soon as possible is the best course of action.”

“Wow… ….”

“Moreover, unlike in the past, this test puts a lot of weight on abilities such as observation, judgment, perseverance, and whether or not to be guided.”

“I thought there were a lot of traps and the road was long. It must have been because of that.”

The professor nodded.

Mister Power scratched her head as if she had doubts about these words.

“Professor, could that be the reason why the sign was strange?”

“Oh, yes, there is that too. How much I struggled to fool you.”

Composition of problems that cannot be understood by common sense.

That was all on purpose.

“Keep arranging useless problems, keep imprinting on the main road that you have to go, and then confusing them with difficult problems.”

If you go to the main road because it is troublesome to calculate there, you will miss the fastest route.

In fact, it could be said that it was a place where each person’s will and intelligence were tested.

“Oh, can I tell you something interesting?”

“Yes?”

“A sign that you have fallen into a small road. In fact, there were professors there disguised as students?”

In a slang word, Frakchi.

It was an internal enemy that induced them not to go down the small road.

Of course, Kangxian and Chunmari knew who the Frakchi was.

No, I didn’t know who it was, so I even watched it myself.

‘For some reason, Sua-noona was here.’

‘Soo-ah sister? If I hadn’t listened to Kang Xian, I would have been in big trouble, right?’

Epic work to catch students.

I don’t know if this was a smooth test, but Professor Fernanda was satisfied as if it was the right test.

In fact, if it wasn’t quite satisfactory, there wouldn’t be any reason to tell them the story behind it.

It was around the time that the guilds’ protests, such as the alumni’s abilities were too weak, started to flow, saying that this test had an impact.

At 11m tall, which is said to be the greatest fear of humans, Shannon, who had been frozen solid, thawed.

You might ask what to do if dragons are afraid of heights, but that wasn’t really the point.

The flightless dragon curled up his tail and pondered over the story.

And then I remembered the most important fact that everyone ignores.

“Um, over there, by the way…… How is our graduate school going? … ?”

Graduate School.

It was a word that everyone wanted to forget.
