I Became an Academy Fraudster

Episode 98

All the first year students were gathered in the auditorium.

They started talking amongst themselves.

“Ah. Isn’t the math competition tomorrow Eva the dog?”

“So. Does it make sense to suddenly hold a math contest on a day off and make it impossible to rest?”

“No, it’s fortunate that I can’t just rest. After all, the results of the math competition are reflected in the grades too.”

“Eva the real dog.”

“By the way, don’t you think the difficulty level of the ‘math contest’ will be much easier than before if it is reflected in grades?”

In the ‘Elpon’ Academy, the math contest has traditionally had 10 questions.

5 Easy problems. An item concept consisting of 5 difficult problems.

The problem is that the difficult problem is too harsh.

“No, the difficult questions are always similar in difficulty to the killer question given by Teacher Yuli in this written test.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Wasn’t there only two kids who solved that problem in the whole school? Nam Do-yoon and Jeong Hanna.”

“So?”

“Can I tell you this?”

“What?”

“Only 2 students in the whole school can solve that difficult problem, so can you grade the students? If it’s not 1st grade, it’s probably all 9th grade.”

“Ah..”

All students except Nam Do-yoon and Jung Han-na will finish by solving only 5 easy questions.

Then, they’ll all get a tie.

Only Nam Do-yoon and Jeong Hanna can solve difficult problems.

Then, except for them, everyone gets the same score.

There’s no way this could be a proper evaluation.

“So, in this ‘math contest’, the difficult problems will come out as semi-killer rather than killer problems?”

“Ah. Certainly.”

“That’s why we have a chance. A semi-killer can be solved by rubbing it well.”

The chatter of the students, who had been making such a fuss, stopped.

Their eyes were focused on the teacher who was currently climbing onto the podium in the auditorium.

She was Yuli.

“Everyone. Everyone worked hard to come here.”

The eyes of the students were completely focused on Yuli.

“The reason I asked the students to gather like this is to guide you through the difficulty level of the questions that will appear in the ‘Mathematics Contest’.”

The eyes of the students began to shine brightly.

“Doesn’t that mean that the ‘difficult problems’ that have been given before are given a little easier?”

“Right. If we were going to raise the level of difficulty as we used to, there would be no need to gather and talk like this.”

The eyes of the students turned to Yuli’s mouth.

She was so that she wouldn’t miss a single word she had to say.

Soon after, Yuli’s mouth began to open.

“In this math contest, a discussion came out at the faculty meeting in the direction of mitigating the level of difficulty of the existing 5 difficult questions for the students’ grade evaluation.”

Hearing that, the faces of the students turned bright.

“Look at that. Am i right? The difficulty will be eased.”

“Oh. Is that a good enough possibility?”

Yuli looked at the energetic faces of the students.

Then she said with a peek smile.

“Obviously, that’s how the discussion came up at the faculty meeting.”

“…?”

“I actively insisted. If that happens, students who have been preparing hard for the existing difficulty level will suffer.”

“…”

“Wouldn’t that be pretty unfair? Rather, students who prepared hard are getting stabbed in the back of the head.”

Yuli smiled and said.

“So, after a long meeting, the staff meeting came to this conclusion. The difficulty level of the difficult problem will be the same as before, or rather, it will be much more difficult than that.”

“…How much more difficult?”

“Hmm… I guess it’s about twice as difficult as the killer problem I gave in the written test?”

While saying that, Yuli glanced over at the students.

Desperate expressions filled the auditorium.

Yuli quite liked it.

“Well, you might not be able to solve difficult questions. No, not all students will be able to solve it.”

While saying that, Yuli looked around at the students.

Only the two people had different expressions.

Nam Do-yoon and Jeong Hanna.

Only those two had relaxed expressions on their faces.

“Ah. I said it wrong. I don’t think all students can solve it.”

“Yes?”

“Just two people might be able to solve difficult problems perfectly.”

Yuli looked at Nam Do-yoon and Jeong Hanna and smiled heartily.

The eyes of the students also followed that direction.

Then he burst into a sigh.

****

Jeong Ha-yeon was currently looking at her contact information in her hallway.

It was to find a partner for her math contest.

[Kim Ji-soo – 010 -2352-643x]

[Minsu Kim – 010-2366-723x]

However, she had no one to contact.

Jeong Ha-yeon continued to scroll down her contact information.

But she couldn’t call.

“No matter who you are with, you won’t be able to solve difficult problems.”

It makes no sense to call anyone in her own contacts.

That’s because no matter who you work with, there is no one who can solve difficult problems.

Only two people have the potential to solve difficult questions in a math contest.

Nam Do-yoon and Jeong Hanna.

But, as for Jeonghan, she doesn’t want to be with me even if she dies.

In the end, she is left with only Namdo Yoon.

“Ah.. If this is going to happen, I’ll just go to Nam Do-yoon first.”

However, Nam Doyoon had already formed a team.

From what I heard from Nam Do-yoon, he said he had been contacted by Jung Hanna that morning.

In that case, wouldn’t it have been better if I had asked Nam Do-yoon to do it together earlier.

“Ah.. I should have just approached him first.”

I was just waiting for Nam Doyoon to come to me, so I missed a great opportunity.

I have to do well in this math competition because it goes into the grades.

Diriring-

There was a ringing sound on Jeong Ha-yeon’s cell phone.

“Hello?”

“Uh. I am Ha Yeon-ah.”

“Huh? Who?”

“Ah. I’m Taeyang Kim, but you don’t know me?”

“Ah..”

Taeyang Kim is the guy who got 4th place in the midterm written exam.

The first place was, of course, Jeong Han-na.

Namdo Yoon solved difficult problems, but he couldn’t solve easy problems, so his grades weren’t very good.

“Yeonah Ha. Won’t you join me A difficult problem I think I can solve.”

“..Really?”

Jeong Ha-yeon was unreliable.

In the end, Kim Taeyang couldn’t solve the killer question given by Yuli during the midterm exam.

However, there is no way I can solve the questions of this ‘mathematics contest’, which is more difficult than that.

“Yes. So, leave the difficult questions to me, and you, Ha-yeon, only have to solve the easy ones.”

“…”

But there wasn’t really any other option.

Jung Ha-yeon was waiting for Namdo-yoon to come to her, so she turned down all the students who offered to join her.

All of them were now forming a team.

Among the remaining guys, Kim Taeyang was the best choice.

I can guess why Taeyang Kim asked him to come with me.

That’s why he should have refused originally, but this time he couldn’t help it.

“Yes. Let’s do it together.”

****

The next day.

All of Class 1-A are out in the meadow.

A hologram unfolded in front of them.

The hologram was in the shape of a homeroom teacher.

In today’s class, instead of standing in front of the students, he chose a hologram.

The reason was simple.

It was because this place had special mana that only minors could enter.

“Okay. Everyone has gathered Then, I will begin the explanation of the test from now on.”

“The evaluation method of the test … “

Summarizing his words, it was simple.

A blue orb is buried in the ground of this meadow.

Students who take more of the buried blue spheres will receive a higher score.

However, it is not simply determined by luck.

The ‘blue sphere’ has very faint magical powers.

So the better your magic detection skill is, the higher your score will be in this test.

“For your reference, I will tell you the range where the ‘blue sphere’ is buried. The specific scope is… “

According to him, the blue sphere spreads out in the shape of a sphere based on where the homeroom teacher is standing.

It was the range of a circle with an approximate radius of 10m.

“Come on. Then you can start now.”

As soon as that was said, the students started to spread out in all directions.

I stood still in my seat.

Then Jeonghanna came to my side.

Then he whispered in my ear.

“Here is it?”

“Yes. That’s right.”

The meadow here is where the old book where you can get the ‘instant kill’ skill is hidden.

“Do you know the specific location?”

Jeonghanna said.

“Uh. Can you see the cave over there?”

I pointed to a cave far away.

It was a distance that seemed to be about 20M from here.

In a word, it was only possible to go beyond the range where the ‘blue sphere’ was hidden.

“I think I will have to give up my test scores, is that okay?”

I looked at Jeonghanna and said.

Her obsession with test scores was really severe beyond imagination.

Will you burst into tears because you got one wrong in the written test?

“..Now my test scores are not important.”

She said with a serious expression.

“No matter how good I get on the test, if I can’t kill the demon king, this world is over. Then what does it mean that I got a good test score?”

“That’s right.”

“So don’t worry about that, shall we go soon?”

“Yes.”

Jeonghanna and I started walking toward the cave on the other side.

As we walked towards the cave, we talked quite a bit.

How far can gore be interpreted?

Where is the location of the ‘old books’?

After talking about these nonsensical stories, we arrived at the entrance of the cave before we knew it.

Now, go inside the cave and find the ‘old book’.

However, I ran into a little problem.

Jeonghanna glanced behind her and whispered in my ear.

“Min-seo… He seems to be following us, right?”

I also glanced back.

As I looked back, Kim Min-seo turned her head away.

As if he had no interest in Jung Hannah and me, but their paths overlapped by chance.

However, there is no reason for the traffic lines to overlap by chance.

That’s right, near this cave, there is no ‘blue sphere’ at all.

In other words, there is absolutely no reason to come here.

“Ignore it for now, let’s go inside.”

I said.

“Can I? In the process of interpreting the ‘old book’, if someone sees it, the ‘old book’ disappears. If Min Seo-jae continues to follow and watch… “

Jeonghanna said with a worried expression.

“Oh? That? Don’t worry.”

“Huh?”

“I know of a ‘secret passage’ hidden in a cave over there.”

I went inside the cave with Jeonghanna.

Then I saw a strange geometric pattern inside the cave.

I put my hand over there.

Then the walls of the cave slid open sideways.

“Come on. Let’s go in.”

“Wow? Were you really there?”

I went inside with Jeonghanna.

Then, in an instant, the cave walls closed and returned to their original state.

It was extremely dark inside.

“Just follow me. I know the way.”

Jeonghanna and I started walking through the dark cave.

Then a voice came from above.

“What? Where did they all of a sudden go?”

That voice was Kim Min-seo’s.

As expected, it seems that he was following us.

But why are you following me?
