—“Yeah.... It was really amazing.”

Ha-jun was called to the principal’s office the day before the entrance ceremony.

For the most part, Ha-Jun could guess what the reason was for calling him in.

“Is it because of the oath?”

“Yes, it is. So, what are you going to do? So our school’s oath of office is an academy tradition. I can’t help this time, it’s a real headache.”

“Can’t you just pass it on to the runner-up?”

“You see there are more than 10 instructors who already saw your footage. Do you think they will agree?”

“...Hah...”

A sigh came naturally to me at the painful situation.

Honestly, I expected it to some extent, but I didn’t expect him to speak so directly.

Ha-jun didn’t need the top position anymore.

Why?

[Main Quest]

Questable Character:Kim-Ha-Joon

Description:Enroll in Rokia Academy as a ( Head of The Class ).

Compensation:150P

[Success!]

[Reward will be given.]

[Occupation changes. (Neet ↔ Student)]

Because I already received my Reward.

It was a system window that popped up to alert me last night.

The quest was as good as passed because Choi Joong-Won, the principal of Rokia Academy, named me as the head of the class.

“Yes, you should have adjusted your power.”

“... I guess you’re right.”

“Well, I understand to some extent that you don’t want to do it that badly, and there are circumstances, so I’m willing to cancel it, but I also prepared for it just in case.”

“Really?”

A strange color appeared in Ha-Jun’s eyes.

Soon, however, the strange color disappeared and returned to his normal eyes.

[Main Quest].

Questable Character: Kim-Ha-Jun

Description:Read the oath of office at the entrance ceremony of Rokia Academy.

Reward:10p

(Damn it! Reward is a dirty trick!)

“Then, it can’t be helped...”

To the old man who was about to leave with such a disappointed look on his face.

“I’ll do it.”

Ha-jun said.

“Really?”

Soon it was Choi Joong-won who looked at Ha-jun with a bright face.

Why is this old man’s house so happy with a single oath?

“Ho, ho, ho. You’ve thought it over. Don’t worry too much about the Villains’ Alliance. As long as you’re in the academy, I’ll protect you no matter what.”

“Yes.”

Ha Jun nodded immediately.

It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Choi Joong-won’s words, but he would be prepared anyways.

I don’t know about him, but there are a few instructors and students at the academy who are turning into villains.

The day of the entrance ceremony

From early in the morning, the spacious auditorium was crowded with people.

From high-ranking officials of hero associations of various countries to guild leaders of the highest-ranking guilds and famous top heroes. All of them were gathered from all over the world to scout for promising talents.

“It’s so spacious...”

Of course, a somber look crossed Ha Jun’s face.

How wonderful it must be to have to recite the oath of office in front of High-Ranking nobles, citizens, and reporters..

(If it weren’t for the system...)

Of course, the story could be changed by player interference.

But never the ending.

Because every playable character has one fixed ending.

After all, the story of the future’s end predetermined whether I was involved or not.

Well, there are stories in which the main characters die or are corrupted by villains in the process.

In a manner of speaking, as long as they were not related to me, they were as good as strangers.

Of course, now that I’m here, I suppose I’ll eventually relate.

(I don’t know where to sit.)

Ha-Jun put his hands in his pockets, yawned, and sat down in the random seat.

Now Ha-Jun was quite tired.

He couldn’t sleep because he had been under duress last night from rebelling against the system.

It’s a dirty, doggy system, he tried to persevere, but to no avail.

It was Ha-Jun who wasted his sleeping time for nothing.

(Let’s get some sleep)

He decided to sleep a little bit for a while.

In any case, thanks to the side effect of supreme fortitude, it was peaceful even under people’s gaze.

The moment I tried to close my eyes.

While he, Ha-jun fell asleep.

***

“Tsk, it’s not a big deal, but why are you staring at me?”

The place where Ha-jun disappeared.

Anna was complaining about Ha-jun.

I remembered Ha-jun looking dissatisfied, even though I had asked him nicely in my own way.

It was the first time.

The one who expressed such obvious dissatisfaction with me.

“Ha ha ha! Anyone would be dissatisfied if you phrase it that way.”

Those were Liam’s words.

He was smiling brightly as he looked at Anna.

Anna glared at Liam with a disapproving look on her face.

“The other kids didn’t, did they?”

“Well, not everyone likes you, I suppose. That guy might have been famous elsewhere in his own way, you know?”

“It’s all there in my eyes.” (Notes: Meaning i can see right through you, your worth & charecter. Etc with just a glance)

“Ugh, You’re not going to fix your habit of disregarding people. You might regret someday for that.”

“Noisy!!”

What do I care about minor things that don’t interest me.

Soon, Anna snorted as she turned her head away.

Soon after, the entrance ceremony began with the sound of the microphone on stage.

***

Meanwhile.

Behind the stage.

“Who will be this year’s headliner?”

“Han Si-Young, isn’t it?”

“Well, I don’t know. Surely, he’s the only one, isn’t he?”

The student council officers were behind the stage assisting with the entrance ceremony and making a lot of noise about the head of the class.

Of course, Anna-Elizabeth, Haruna-Ruel, and Liam-Martel were all on the short list, but only Han Si-Young was the lone contender.

Who is Han Si-Young?

The legendary hero and sword king Han Joon-ho, who lived at the same time as Rokia, the first hero of the past and founder of the academy.

He was the only disciple of the Sword King, whom he raised and nurtured before his demise.

Would there really be a new student who would be able to surpass such a boy and become a No.1?

“No, but if you think about it, there is that boy. Irregular.”

“Do you believe that?”

“I don’t know. Suddenly, such a youngster falls out of the sky.”

There was one rumor that had already spread among the students.

Of course, it was so absurd that most of the students did not believe the rumor because it was a hoax.

“What do you think of the president?”

Dark hair, sharp eyes, and perfect facial features.

The student council president, Lee Joo Hee, did not answer the question, but instead looked at the boy in the far corner.

As student council president, Lee Joo Hee already knew who the head of the class was.

And of course, the fact that he was her sister’s benefactor.

“Um, are we going to start the proclamation now?”

“Wow, but I’ve heard all the declarations from Han Si-Young alive, and he’s famous for not talking”

“Yes, I guess so.”

Then, after the Principal’s Instruction and introduction of the first-year class instructors.

—Hereafter there will be an enrollment proclamation, which accepts the students into the Rocia Academy.

“Ah, it has begun.”

“Who is it? Who could it be?”

“No, it’s Han Si-Young.”

But contrary to their expectations.

—Kim Ha-jun, the first representative of the new students, came up to the stage.

At that one word, everyone’s faces were tinged with confusion.

From the executives of each country’s association to the guild officials.

“Did we ever get called by the wrong name at the entrance ceremony?”

“It hasn’t happened before.”

Even new students.

“Kim Ha-Jun? Who is that?”

“I don’t know, I don’t think that, um, that... isn’t that the rumor?”

While everyone’s faces froze in panic.

One boy stood up.

“Un?

“Who is that boy? What about Han Si-Young?”

While everyone’s eyes were full of questions.

The boy went up on the platform with a bored look on his face.

Then he raised one hand and began to recite the oath.

—The Oath.

Normally, all the freshmen in the auditorium should have followed their representatives in reciting the oath. But they were speechless at the unbelievable turn of events.

But Kim Ha-Jun, began to continue with the oath, with no care in the world.

—-As we enter the year 2232, the year of new hope, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing us 153 students to enroll in the freshman class, and I pledge to fulfill my duty as a hero.

The unaffected, no highs and lows of the voice.

It’s done. Until the end of the oath.

No one opened their mouths.
