join the discord! Here

That afternoon at 5 PM.

Hajoon was at the association's reception room, having been called away from his visit to Soona due to an urgent message from the association.

He looked across at the two seated opposite him and asked with a puzzled expression, So, whats the matter?

Although he didnt know why, their expressions seemed grave. It appeared that they hadnt summoned him over a trivial matter.

Soon, Joa, looking serious, opened her mouth to speak, Irregular. The moment I set foot in Korea, I foresaw a certain future.

A serious future? Hajoon asked, his face calm.

Responding to Hajoons question, Joa slowly nodded and said, Yes. From what I see, it's a bit serious.

So, what is this future about?

At that, Joa slowly closed her eyes, recalling the foreseen future before responding, First, the S-rank villains residing in Korea will join forces and collaborate.

They're going to cooperate? Hajoon was surprised.

Yes.

S-rank villains. Beings whose strength and abilities posed a threat to entire nations.

The notion that such beings would collaborate was unexpected to Hajoon. In the original episodes, there had been no instance of them working together. Frankly, the idea of them cooperating seemed unbelievable. They might be part of a villain alliance due to Saan's proposition, but their relationships were far from amicable.

After all, beings powerful enough to be called S-rank didnt usually seek comrades.

However, Hajoon was not just concerned about their cooperation but also intrigued by Joas use of the word first.

Is there more? he asked.

With a somber expression, Joa nodded and answered, Yes. A pseudo-religious group called The Altar will emerge in Korea, causing a syndrome that will lead many civilians to believe in and form a congregation around this religion.

That revelation brought a specific episode to Hajoons mind. Could it be

It was all too similar to an episode Hajoon knew. However, this wasnt the right time for that episode it was content from the last episode of Haruna Ruel.

This led Hajoon to a realization. Choi Jungwon, who had faced Saan prematurely. Lain, who had concluded Liams episode by giving up her own goals. Could it be that the episodes involving other playable characters were also progressing more quickly due to these changes?

Just as this thought crossed his mind,

Ding-

A sudden system notification appeared, confirming Hajoons suspicion as true.

[Main Quest]

Quest Eligible Character: Kim Hajoon (Liber Laphilton Phil Ehrman)

Objective: Safely graduate from Rokia Academy with your companions

Han Siyoung (40%)

Anna Elizabeth Hartel (60%)

Haruna Ruel (70%)

Liam Martel (Completed)

Failure Condition: Death.

An alarmingly high progress rate for just the second semester of the first year at the academy.

It was as Hajoon had thought.

The episodes that the children were to experience were indeed progressing faster than the original timeline.

Tsk-

How should we handle this Im not sure if its related to the recent increase in ordinary people awakening as superhumans. Its unlikely for 50 people to suddenly grow so much.

There had been an incident where a bullied student who awakened as a superhuman retaliated against the bullies. And another where a regular criminal in prison had awakened as a superhuman and attempted a prison break. These incidents had all occurred within a week.

From these events, Hajoon understood that the villains from The Altar had begun their plans.

Rumors say they saw a god in their dreams, who granted their wishes or something.

So, everyone on this list is involved?

Yes. Theyre a real headache. I dont know how they did it, but its clear theyve made significant progress upon inspection. The problem is theyre demanding a special class or an individualized one.

Whats that supposed to mean?

Had there been such a thing in Haruna Ruels episode?

Hajoon asked with a puzzled look.

Riella continued with a sigh, They probably realize realistically not all 50 of them can be placed in the special class. So, theyre requesting a new class to be created.

So, theyre asking for a separate class for themselves?

Yes. The problem is the lack of instructors to manage the education. Its just not feasible.

Hmm

Hajoon looked at her, deep in thought.

Then, seemingly struck by an idea, Hajoon calmly looked at Riella and suggested, Shall I help you with that?

Huh? How would you?

Intrigued by Hajoons offer, Riella began to look at him with a curious expression. Could he possibly have a solution in mind?

Riella looked at Hajoon, somewhat hopeful.

Hajoon responded casually, Why dont I conduct the grade evaluation? I can do it one-on-one with each of them.

Riellas mouth fell open in shock at his suggestion.

She was so flabbergasted that she lost her words for a moment, staring blankly at Hajoon before suddenly bursting out, Are you crazy? Youll fail all the kids!

Werent you planning to fail them all anyway, Riella?

Theres a limit, you idiot! I was planning to assign at least a few to the special class.

In my view, it doesnt seem like all 50 of them have grown legitimately. Honestly, you think so too, Riella.

At that, she crossed her arms and groaned.

Honestly, Hajoon was right. It was strange that all 50 had undergone such sudden, dramatic growth.

Sigh I already have enough on my plate with the principal's duties, and if I do that, complaints will flood in like a burst dam. Its such a hassle.

Then, lets do this.

Hajoons proposed method was simple.

In this case, he would conduct the evaluation and fail all of them. If the students protested against this evaluation, he would announce a reevaluation in a month. Hearing this, Riella could only look at Hajoon with an incredulous expression and say, Then whats the point?

Ultimately, failing them all through Hajoon would be meaningless.

To that, Hajoon shook his head and continued, In my view, their growth wont last very long.

Hmm You seem to have an idea about it?

Well, yes.

Upon hearing that, Riella pondered for a while before eventually letting out a sigh.

Judging by her expression, she seemed to have made a decision.

Do as you see fit. While youre at it, please correct those troublemakers whove been causing violence.

At that, Hajoon grinned and replied, Sure, why not.
