Chapter 10: A Failure In S Class (3)
{Read from Fuleims PoV }
Stella Academys campus was buzzing with only one topic of discussion.
Did you hear what I said? I heard that two students this year resonated with an upper-intermediate cane?
Crazy. There have only been five users in the past. Are there two more this time?
I heard the five of them went on to become archmages
The subjects of discussion were none other than Mayuseong and Baek Yu-seol.
Have you already heard the story of Baek Yu-seol?
He was said to have used Blink in the magic implementation test. Isnt that basic magic?
I didnt even learn how to blink. Its as if my parents never learned how to blink. It is said to be rare rubbish magic with a 99.99 percent chance of killing the wizard.
I, too, did not learn. Isnt it true that none of the professors teach that magic anymore? All uncontrollable magic has recently been labeled as forbidden magic.
Hearing such rumors, Fuleim walked wildly down the hallway.
After school, the Self-study Hall building was crowded with students heading to the training center and reading room, and I was very nervous because all of them were only talking about Mayuseong and Baek Yu-seol.
Fuleim! Are you going to study too?
Hearing a familiar voice, I hastily took care of my expression. When I turned my head, several girls were approaching me with bright smiles.
I said with a mischievous laugh.
You little kids, do I look like I am addicted to studying?
Isnt it? You always study because you have nothing to do.
I cant believe it. This little kid is talking back.
You got it, right?
Ahaha! But why do you always look at us and call us kids? We are the same age.
Sting. I felt slightly stabbed, but somehow I struggled and smiled softly.
Well, I guess its because Ive been living like my sister in the same place I used to be.
After realizing that I used to live in the modern world and transmigrated into a novel, I could hardly act like a child.
Then are you going to study alone today?
A tall girl asked.
I locked my gaze on her. She was a girl named Jecky, whom I had known briefly in middle school, and when we both entered Stella, we quickly became friends because she, too, was a commoner.
Well. But how come your style is similar to mine?
I remember the old Jecky as a timid kid with chubby hair and glasses on, but one day after entering high school, she started imitating my hair, tone, and fashion.
I was a little concerned, but I thought it could be because she was a teenager and moved on.
Well, there is no end to studying. Im not alone, I said, Theres a special supplementary meeting, so Im going to attend.
See, supplement meeting? You work so hard
Anyway, shall I go?
Yes. Lets go to a cafe together next time!
After sending the girls away, I quickly turned around and tried to walk, but met someones eyes.
It was Hae Won-ryang, a boy with a sharp impression and reddish-black hair with purple eyes.
Heir to the 9th-class Master Meiji Manwol, the Tower Master, and an excellent wizard on par with Mayuseong.
As soon as he found me, he approached me right away.
Are you going to study?
uh.
You dont look good. Whats going on?
And, perhaps, it is rare for him to be so genuinely concerned.
Well, not really, nothing.
Sullenly, I nodded my head. Then, by chance, as I turned my head, I met a girl who had not yet left and was staring at me from behind the wall.
It was Jecky.
Well? Why is she still
Jecky vanished so quickly that the meeting of our eyes felt like a figment of imagination. I put my hands in the air and stroked the back of my own head as I was about to call her.
I had no choice but to walk in the hallway chatting with Hae won-ryang about little things.
This hallway we were walking on was called the S-Class area by the students as a joke because there was a dedicated S-Class self-study room and an S-Class training ground.
Youre going to the training ground, right?
You should not neglect your daily training.
Youre uselessly diligent. If you live so hard, you will be short-lived.
I dont intend to live long.
Yes, if you die, dont call me to the funeral.
How come?
I dont like Yukgaejang. Prepare beef and rice soup instead.
Well, Ill do just that.
After responding, Hae Won-ryang vanished into the training grounds. Students who want to practice practical training typically do not attend supplementary meetings because it was a gathering place for students with poor grades or who are more passionate about their studies.
Of course, I didnt go to the special supplementary meeting just to study.
Princess Hong Bi-yeon and Eisel were scheduled to attend the supplementary meeting, according to Original Romance Fantasy.
Perhaps there will be a nervous battle between the heroine and the villain. It was to watch it, but there was one more reason.
This is because a new character called Baek Yu-seol, who did not even appear in the original was scheduled to appear.
Baek Yuseol.
A boy who became a hot topic while holding an upper-intermediate Terifon this time, a character that did not exist at all in the original novel.
Who the hell is that kid?
She had read the original story three times and knew the setting in detail.
However, the name Baek Yu-seol does not appear even once in the novel.
Even that Terifon was said to have caught no one in the original story.
Not only that, the boy got the so-called three questions of the devil right too easily.
As if trying to show it to someone, maybe its meant to be shown to me.
Thats why he intentionally created this atmosphere and said, Is my interpretation wrong? Baek Yu-seol, then why dont you explain it yourself?
Ehhh
I thought it would be like this. I looked at Mayu-seong for a moment with resentful eyes and then put on my glasses.
The 3 questions of the devil.
The words were three questions of the devil, but in fact, it was close to a nonsense quiz.
To explain the problem in a mild way, [the wizard says, Great Earth, shed tears! When I memorized the incantation, the land doubled. What is the reason?] It would feel like that.
The answer to this question was simple.
What if the soil cries? Dirty Muddy Soil {T/N: This part is really the hardest. Its more like your local slangs/idioms, difficult to interpret. A few will repeat in next chapter too.}
So the land was doubled.
Its absurd, but it was really a matter of feeling. Really.
But Kyle analyzed the problem very mathematically.
When the earth cries, the soil scatters and melts, the spirits rages, the volcano explodes, and so on, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, so the earth has doubled as a result
This was the conclusion he arrived at.
Okay. Whatever the solution, it doesnt matter as long as the answer was correct.
It was a solution that would definitely be helpful for correcting that one problem right away but the issue was that it was a solution that would get stuck again when an application problem with a similar feeling came up next time.
I cant show you how to solve it. I can only point out the mistakes.
what?
With the help of copper glasses, I pinpointed the mistakes in Kyles solution.
The problem was presented with soil, but what if it was water or wind? Do you think your formula will apply then?
Thats when that time comes, you can apply a different formula.
Thats the problem. Why do we have to apply different formulas for problems of the same nature? Before the problem of applying a different formula in the first place, would you overthrow the solution itself?
Your solution was pure fluke. To be honest, its an interpretation that doesnt fit the authors intentions at all. No formulas or runes are needed to solve this problem. But you forced your knowledge into it.
I didnt know much about magic. So, I pointed out only the core part marked on the copper glasses.
If you change this part here, your solution is complete nonsense. How would you explain it?
Right now, I dont know if he succeeded in solving this problem by coincidence, but he will not be able to solve it when another similar problem arises
There was no need for complicated explanations. Because I just had to prove that Kyles solution was wrong.
ah!
Thats true
The smart students understood Baek Yu-seols words and began to dictate his words. Fuleim was also quite surprised, but she was as calm as possible. Rather, she looked at Eisel and Hong Bi-yeon.
Shouldnt there be a nerve war?
Originally, there was going to be a fierce quarrel between them in this place. However, since neither Eisel nor Hong Bi-yeon could solve the problem that Baek Yu-seol had just solved, they were distracted by the solution.
Is it really good to think positively about this situation in which the villain and the female lead do not fight?
No, lets think positively.
Kyle stood there, stunned, with his mouth wide open.
Am I wrong.?
Before that, Kyle, who had just realized that his explanation was wrong, bowed his head.
And he honestly admitted it.
Your words youre right its all.
Is that so?
Even though his explanation had been completely debunked, Kyle, rather than being angry, seemed to be overcome with a sense of shame.
Maybe I was lucky enough to solve this problem
Not long after that, the special supplementary meeting was over, and I left the classroom faster than anyone else.
Not only did I not want to be in this stuffy and damp space of study anymore, but it was also because of being too burdensome to be with Mayu-seong.
Ill see you tomorrow!
Leaving behind Mayu-seongs energetic greeting, I walked down the tattered hallway.
Oh really, if I get caught by a guy like Mayo-seong by mistake
I dont know how it came to this by holding a wand like a Terifon.
As people slowly became scarce, I was about to go back to the dormitory, but in the corner of the hallway leading to the mens dormitory, someone was standing with her back leaning.
Princess Hong Bi-yeon Adolevit.
what?
I tried to pass by pretending to not know her, but she stopped in front of me.
.What.
Before, why didnt you explain the solution?
Its not that I didnt want to explain it, its just that I couldnt do it.. How on earth do you logically explain such a nonsense quiz question? In fact, there was one thing that I showed them the solution method cannot be applied to other problems.
I just dont have anything to say
I see. I understand. You didnt want to reveal your solution in such a place, did you?
Eh. Its not like that. However, Hong Bi-yeon nodded her head as if she had misunderstood it.
Okay. You need a price, dont you?
What? Price?
Yes, the price.
She said so and tapped herself on the head.
Ill pay you a fair price, so show me whats in your mind. {T/N: She really is the best girl.}
End of Chapter
Translators Notes:
This is the bonus chapter from Complete 10 reviews on NU goal. Although its a bit late (a few hours only), my apologies for that.
So like when I woke up and saw the reviews, I realised I had to do a bonus chapter. But I remembered having 1 or 2 chapter in backlog so I kinda slacked off. When I switched on the lappy to edit the chap, BAMMM, the chapter folder was emplylol, there was no chapter backlog. So I had to started translating one right away, but you know Asian families, you cant get some free time. After a few distractions, and doing some chores, here I am with your new chaper, UNJOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!!
