Episode 8

Sumire Hanajima.

He was a student who had the lowest grades in class F and was ranked last in the grade. Bangs covering the face and pale skin. Her dull-looking atmosphere, on the contrary, drew attention.

“Ah ah wait... I’m sorry... for a moment...”

Sumire apologized over and over and moved toward the bulletin board avoiding the students.

“Ohh I’m partying with Seven Number!”

“i envy you! What about Kim Eun-ah in class A? As expected, Class A is different!”

“No, why are you unfairly taking the test as a partner?”

“Why why? Who got caught?”

The students’ reactions were different.

Even in the same class, the skills and compatibility between partners were vastly different. At Gaon Academy, a partner system was used for some tests to foster team play. Because of that, on the day of announcing the partners, the joys and sorrows among the students were mixed.

‘My partner is...’

Sumire carefully pointed with her index finger to identify her partner. It wasn’t easy to check while being pushed around by students.

‘...The partner is a student in the same class. Skills are as equal as possible.’

This was how Gaon’s externally known partners were decided. The problem is that no one could guarantee the outcome until the partner was decided.

Sumire clung to the wall because of the waves of students. I held back and confirmed my partner.

[Ranking 209th – Sumire Hanajima]

“208 209... Ah! I found it...”

Sumire was delighted and tried to read her partner’s name written below.

“Oh, how much time are you wasting by yourself! Get out of the way!”

At that time, a female student nervously pushed Sumire away.

“Ahhhh... I’m sorry!”

Sumire, who was slumped in her seat, cautiously stood up while observing the surroundings. She wanted to raise her grade ranking more than anyone else.

‘My partner is...’

For Sumire, the test is a matter of life and death. Standing up against the wall, Sumire checked her partner’s name while being pushed by the students.

[Partner – Shin Yoo-seong]

The result was great.

In the forest of Gaon Academy.

Lee Si-woo ran at tremendous speed to Shin Yoo-seong, who was training.

“Yoosung! Yoosung! Whoops!”

How far you ran, you were out of breath. Lee Si-woo took a deep breath and asked Shin Yoo-seong.

“Yoosung! Have you checked your partner?”

“no.”

“Your partner Sumire! Hanajima Sumire!”

Shin Yoo-seong, who was meditating at those words, opened his eyes. Then he slowly got up and looked down at Lee Si-woo.

“...Sumire?”

Yoosung Shin couldn’t remember who Sumire was. However, even in class F, Sumire’s actions were unique in a bad way. Lee Si-woo spoke to Shin Yoo-seong with a serious expression.

“No, even though he has the Necromancer trait, he only has one skull! Plus, in the image room, I lost to a level 1 monster! Ranked last in grade level! You are the weakest in our school!”

Lee Si-woo said it because he was worried about Shin Yoo-seong. Shin Yoo-seong, the person in charge, was calm.

“doesn’t care.”

“It doesn’t matter! How important is your partner on the exam?”

Let Siwoo Lee shoot. Shin Yoo-seong asked with a calm expression.

“A kid named Sumire by any chance. Did you lower your bangs like this?”

“try.”

Sumire nodded and scattered Shin Yoosung’s hair on the ground. Then, as before, a skeleton crawled out of the ground. However, the appearance of the bones was completely different from the previous skeleton.

“Just right!”

The skeleton struck the jawbone with confidence and took the same fighting stance as Shin Yuseong.

“How are you?”

Sensing something changed, Sumire gave an order to the skeleton in dubious doubt.

“...I attack the tree!”

thud!

The skeleton kicked the ground with great force.

Sumire’s skull embodies about 30% of the hair’s owner’s physical abilities. But he used Sumire’s hair, the weakest. It was natural that the skeleton was also weak.

And now.

The skeleton was reborn through Shin Yoo-seong’s hair.

bang! Clumsy!

Let the skeleton hit the tree with its bony fist. The tree leaned in one direction with a loud noise.

Kwaaang!

The fallen tree raised a strong wind. Sumire, who had been staring blankly at all of this, jumped out of her seat and stood up.

“Uso! (Lie!)”

How embarrassed Sumire spat out in her mother tongue, Japanese. Then, he looked at Shin Yooseong and the skeleton in turn.

“Are you okay?”

Shin Yoo-seong, the owner of the hair, reacted plainly. Sumire looked at the skeleton and thought.

‘If it’s with this person...’

If it’s with Shin Yoo-seong, it wasn’t even a dream for Sumire to raise the grade ranking. Coincidentally, Sumire was Shin Yoo-seong’s partner in the test.

‘you can do it!’

Excited by her power, Sumire held Shin Yooseong’s hands with her eyes shining unlike usual.

“There! Excuse me, but would you be okay with just 10 strands of hair!?”

Shin Yoo-seong was caught by a geek from the first test.

* * *

Meanwhile. A student from Class A who was watching Sumire from the 3rd floor of the main building ran toward the class with a surprised face.

“hey! everyone! trot! trot!”

But I was out of luck.

In class A, Kim Eun-a, who had returned from her extracurricular activities, was sitting on a desk instead of a chair and messing around.

“...Oh noisily. What are you making a fuss about in the morning?”

Kim Eun-ah was still nervous today. Her hysteria was notorious even in Class A, which was full of strong people. electrical properties that cannot be coped with. In addition, the grade ranking is a whopping 2nd place. The students of class A were busy trying to please Kim Eun-ah, the number seven.

“Oh, that’s not it, Shin Yoo-seong...”

“...Shin Yoo-seong? Who is that?”

Kim Eun-ah was unaware of Shin Yoo-seong’s existence because she was away for three days due to her out-of-town activities. In the end, Kim Eun-ah frowned. The student next to him quickly explained Shin Yuseong.

“Ah, I’m an incoming freshman in that F class. The King’s disciple...”

“Huh?”

Kim Eun-ah snorted and shook her legs softly. It’s strange that the King’s apprentice entered the academy. Even the characteristics are F.

jump.

After coming down from the desk, Kim Eun-ah generated electricity on her hand.

now! support position!

“Finish. Tomorrow is the exam, right?”

and a mischievous smile.

It seems that Kim Eun-ah was properly interested in Shin Yoo-seong.
