Chapter 24 (Please Teach Me Tutor)
Episode 25: Test Results
<Yu Ah-ra’s POV>
“What the heck… cut… Keuk!”
Kuung.
Harold’s huge body fell down. Lee Hye-ri’s spear stabbed his abdomen, and Baek Han-beom stabbed his heart with his sword. Harold, the villain of the most concern in this simulation, had fallen.
“Haa, haa.”
Yu Ah-ra saw Harold’s body lying on the floor, gasping for breath. Even though she knew it was a simulation, the body looked so realistic that it was creepy.
‘Isn’t it real?’
By the time this question arose, his body had turned to dust and disappeared.
“Good job, Ah-ra.”
“Good, senior. To be honest, I was dizzy when I missed him. Did you know exactly how he was going to attack?”
“Yeah, kind of.”
“It was just a stroke of luck that his weapon broke in the process. It was a stroke of luck.”
It seemed that Baek Han-beom had not seen the iron shards she had thrown with her telekinesis causing cracks in his sword.
‘The professor must have seen it.’
That’s it.
1st place.
‘This time, I will definitely use the wish ticket.’
Yu Ah-ra clenched her fists and strengthened her will.
“Then let’s move quickly. Before the sound is heard and other villains rush in. If we rescue these guys to the target location, we’ll pass the test.”
“No, as long as we don’t get eliminated early, we’ll maintain first place.”
Lee Hye-ri intercepted Baek Han-beom’s words.
“That’s what it means to catch a villain named Harold.”
Lee Hye-ri seemed to know Harold.
“Have you ever faced him directly?”
“No. I saw my brother fight. This villain named Harold is someone my brother has lost to, many times.”
“For Kang-san Lee to lose to him? How scary of a villain must he have been?”
“I knew my brother was serious about saving people, so this bastard always cut off the ankles of his weaker comrades and escaped.”
“Ah.”
Baek Han-beom bit his lip at her words. He also missed the bastard’s movements. Even though he was a villain whose level had been adjusted to fit the simulation.
What if he was real?
‘It would have been the neck that was cut off, not the ankle.’
As if Yu Ah-ra knew that, she protected Lee Hye-ri’s ankle. As a hunter, she had excellent intuition.
She was a talent I personally coveted. Even if she had known the strategy in advance, it would have been amazing.
It wasn’t the kind of attack that could be blocked even if she knew it. Even though she was a supporter in the middle and rear, her reflexes were as fast as those of an agile hunter.
‘She has good judgment and determination. She can stand in the rear, but depending on the situation, she can even be in the middle.’
Originally, he volunteered to join D-33 to recruit Lee Hye-ri. But then found out that there was another talented person just as much as Lee Hye-ri is.
‘There’s one more hunter to report to Uncle.’
As expected, you can’t trust the public opinion. She didn’t get second place because of Lee Hye-ri.
Baek Han-beom’s eyes lit up as he looked at Yu Ah-ra.
He focused on Lee Hye-ri’s words, saying that she was a student who could not have known Baek Han-beom’s gaze.
“Then who caught this villain? Since there’s a simulation record of him, doesn’t that mean he was caught?”
“Probably a hunter you know, Yu Ah-ra? He’s famous for hunting another hunter in a dungeon two years ago.”
“Oh, Shadow Mask?”
“Yeah. I heard he caught him.”
Wow.
Even the fakes are this strong, so how did they catch this villain?
“I just hit the jackpot.”
Lee Hye-ri clenched her fist.
“My brother caught them all. Shadow Mask caught them in my brother’s place because brother couldn’t chase them down because he was helping his colleagues, and its said Shadow Mask caught them all by himself……”
“Ah.”
It seemed like Lee Hye-ri was quite upset.
“Fine. After all, it’s been proven that that human is no different from a villain.”
“That’s true.”
It’s a famous anecdote in the hunter world. It’s about the shadow mask that shouted for justice being a shameless villain who hunted his comrades.
[D-33 Harold Church]
At that moment, a notification appeared in the simulation room.
“Let’s stop talking about that now. If we keep doing this, the villains will come.”
“Okay. Let’s get moving.”
“Good.”
D-33 team moved quickly with the civilians.
***
In fact, since D-33 had hunted Harold, the number one group was decided. They even rescued all 10 civilians to the base without much interference. Since then, they have focused more on rescuing civilians than fighting villains. It’s as if they were trying to avoid unnecessary fights.
It was the composure of a winner.
On the other hand, the rest of the cadets fought desperately to get second place. Some cadets from Class A, who had excellent fighting skills, were unable to overcome their excessive desire to win and rushed in, resulting in them being defeated by lower-level villains.
It was a series of changes and changes. The second test was like that. It was a test that required a lot of mental energy due to the heavy atmosphere of the scene, civilians dying in real time in the simulation, and battles with villains that were just like real life.
Hunter’s judgment became clouded and made decisions that shouldn’t have made.
“Fuck!”
Kwon Jun-hyeok, clutching at the wound on his shoulder, swore. He was one of the typical students who fell for the villains. He tried to get first place within the time limit by forcefully fighting several villains, but ended up falling behind.
The elimination of Kwon Jun-hyeok and Team A-1 was shocking news.
– Wow, what the f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Kwon Jun-hyeok is falling.
– Five villains is impossible.
-Even if three teams from Class A become one team, five villains are still f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Kwon Jun-hyeok is out.
– Baek Han-beom >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Kwon Jun-hyeok, okay?
– Don’t you know that Kwon Jam-beom was taken care of by Lee Hye-ri and the repeat student? The tank who almost killed the dealer because he couldn’t manage Harold’s aggro, just shut up.
– The tank that was dealing with Harold back then wasn’t Han Beom, it was Lee Hye-ri, right?
– Where did all the Jun-nins who ignored Baek Han-beom go?
– It’s comforting knowing that those dealer-crazy bastards are gone.
– You’re really obsessed with the academy exams.
– Hey~ Jun-nin, are you okay?
Internet comments were in an uproar. Even after the exam was over, Internet communities were discussing Kwon Jun-hyeok’s elimination.
“…….”
Baek Han-beom ignored Kwon Jun-hyeok. It would have been suicidal to touch Kwon Jun-hyeok in that state. Because you never know what that hot-blooded, competitive monster might do.
‘That’s not what’s important.’
The reason Baek Han-beom joined this team. It was to recruit Lee Hye-ri to the Cheongwol Guild, the guild where his uncle is a leader. It was a guild that had a certain level of recognition as the 4th largest guild in Korea. The problem is that it has an image of being pushed around by the top 3 guilds.
‘I think Lee Hye-ri wants to join the American Saint Guild where Kang-san Lee is more than I thought…..’
As long as Lee Hye-ri insists on being a tank, she won’t be able to get there right away with her skills.
The number one guild in the US isn’t a funny place.
If you try to tempt her by using Cheongwol to step up, it will definitely be possible. What was unexpected was Yu Ah-ra.
‘Excellent.’
From today onwards, it was certain that several guilds would send scouts. There would also be offers from large guilds.
‘Daesung will also make a recruitment offer.’
So, before the results are announced and the guild officials come in, let’s take a look at Cheongwol’s strengths…
“Senior Yu Ah-ra.”
“Yes, yes?”
“I have something to tell you.”
“What is it?”
“Have you decided on a guild to join? That’s what I wanted to talk about.”
“I’ve already decided.”
“Yes?”
“I decided on it a long time ago. I’m sorry.”
“Ah… But at least I can tell you.”
“I’m sorry. Nothing will change no matter what you say.”
“Is that so?”
It was surprisingly resolute.
“Are you Daesung?”
“No, that’s not it.”
“Then……?”
“You’ll find out later. But it’s not that big of a guild.”
The moment he met Yu Ah-ra’s eyes as she rejected him, Baek Han-beom realized.
‘I don’t think it will come over.’
You could tell just from Yu Ah-ra’s expression that she completely trusted the guild whose name she didn’t know.
“All right.”
And the results appeared on the scoreboard.
1st place [D-33 Yu Ah-ra], [D-33 Lee Hye-ri], [D-33 Baek Han-beom]
As expected, Group D-33 took first place. However, the joint first place was unexpected.
Even if one group takes first place, the rankings are divided within the group. Perhaps it means that no one was particularly bad, showing a balanced performance?
“Are you really number one?”
Yu Ah-ra, who was looking at the scoreboard, smiled brightly.
First place.
Finally first place.
It was a tie for first place, but it was still first place!
“Gyaaaah!!!”
Yu Ah-ra screamed with joy.
In this way, I successfully completed the second and final exams.
Now, go to the teacher and tell him your wish!
What wish should I make?
How should I say it?
Will I be able to say it well?
The joy of winning the bet made her happier than the joy of coming in first place.
“Congratulations, Ah-ra.”
“Thank you.”
“Everyone worked hard.”
“Han-beom worked hard too.”
“I hope we can form teams like this next semester too. So, will Yu Ah-ra be moving up to Class A next semester?”
“Yes?”
Class A?
“Second place in the first exam and first place in the second exam. Even if you are a repeater, those are enough scores to get into Class A.”
As soon as he finished speaking,
“Student Yu Ah-ra, would you like to come to the professor’s lab?”
Professor Park Ji-yeon called Yu Ah-ra.
***
“Uh… Really?”
“I heard correctly. Ah-ra will be promoted to Class A next semester. And she will be the top priority scholarship student.”
Park Ji-yoon continued speaking while handing over the file.
“The scholarship is 20 million won, which is the tuition for the first semester. I will also receive support for dormitory living expenses for the next semester. Of course, it is possible to live in the same accommodation as you are currently living in. In that case, the amount of support money you receive is….”
“Uh-huh.”
Every time she heard what Yu Ah-ra had to say, she couldn’t close her mouth. The support from the top priority scholarship was greater than she had ever known.
Full scholarship support.
Dormitory fee support.
The school will lend you equipment and training facilities for free, and even assign you a dedicated teaching assistant if you want.
“Quite a lot?”
“Yeah, that’s right…….”
“After all, since it’s a nationally supported project, the support is bound to be generous. But what are you going to do about the guild?”
“The guild?”
“It’s been broadcast nationwide now. The second round of the Korean Academy’s exams are quite popular. The officials will be watching the videos of the first-year students with interest. Since you got first place there.”
“The officials will probably be talking among themselves.”
“The guild will probably contact you starting today. Of course, the academy can block them. What are you going to do? Do you have a guild in mind?”
“Yes. I do. So please block me. Please tell them that I already have a guild in mind.”
“Is it the guild you chose when you were a repeat student?”
“Yes.”
“… Surprisingly. I thought you were a greedy student.”
“You’re right. I’m greedy. That’s why I chose it.”
A smile appeared on Park Ji-yoon’s face as she heard her words.
“Oh, so this is your teacher’s guild?”
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“I said I won’t stop private education. You don’t have to hide it.”
Yu Ah-ra saw the greed in her eyes.
‘You know how to get over it?’
Absolutely not.
Since I got first place, there’s no reason to promote the teacher’s class anymore.
So.
“Professor, I’ll get up.”
“Okay. Go ahead.”
“Okay.”
“Have a good vacation and I’ll see you in Class A in the second semester.”
“See you in the second semester.”
I returned home with a fluttering heart.

<Kim Si-woo’s POV>
I raised the corners of my mouth as I watched the changed public opinion. The voices of those who had ignored Yu Ah-ra as a repeat student had completely disappeared.
– But catching Harold was crazy.
– Why on earth did you fail last year?
– Were you in bad condition?
– Not at that level. Your play was just crazy. Look at your sense. You’re a beast who moves with complete sense. A beast.
– Analysis of Yu Ah-ra, the top student in the aberration.txt
– The student who caused the aberration in the second test of the first year is Yu Ah-ra, who failed. She’s an intelligence-type telekinesis, but her agility is also high, so she can avoid the enemy warrior’s charge. This is a crazy advantage when forming a party. The more people there are, the more this advantage will be maximized. She can help the dealer, she can be the main dealer, and in a critical moment, she can even draw aggro herself. If she goes back and forth as a free roll in an 8-person party and helps the main dealer and tanks, the party’s power will more than double.
The weak damage that is typical of telekinesis is a weakness, but that’s something that can be sufficiently developed at the academy… … .
There was also a pretty serious column.
Not only did they analyze Yu Ah-ra’s movements in gif format, they even captured the scene where she broke Harold’s weapon at the end.
“They know how to see properly.”
I was satisfied. She was able to show her value as a student, and thanks to that, my value will increase even more.
“I should give you a gift.”
I knocked on Yu Ah-ra’s door, which was lit up.
Dripping.
“Yes, yes! Let’s go!”
Yu Ah-ra, dressed in a particularly pretty outfit, greeted me.
“Congratulations on first place. I watched the whole game. You did a great job catching Harold.”
A few simple words of congratulations.
That’s all.
“Have you thought of a wish?”
“Ah, ah, that, that. Uh, um. I did think of it, but……”
“Why are you hesitating so much?”
Yu Ah-ra, who had been mumbling, opened her mouth with difficulty.
“Hey, do you want to go on a date?”
“Date?”
“Sure.”
“Is that okay?”
Yu Ah-ra looked up at me with a red face.
“……yes.”
