after school.

 

Shinnoda and Ishia went to a cat cafe together.

 

Meow. Meow.

 

Inside the cafe, you can hear cat sounds everywhere.

 

It looks similar to a typical cafe, but it was full of cats and cat toys.

 

wii ing.

 

When the vibrating bell rang, Shinnoda brought coffee and dessert.

 

“Ham.”

 

Isia yawned because she was tired.

 

This is because they continued to investigate the person suspected of being a ‘Dark Knight’ until late last night.

 

Hundreds of nearby CCTVs were checked to track where he was going.

 

The last place I saw was near the academy.

 

‘Academy teacher? Or maybe a student… ?’

 

She suddenly realized that Shin Noda, who was sitting in front of her, was also 180 years old.

 

‘a… No.’

 

In the beginning, the Awakeneds were well developed, so they all had a good size.

 

There were often children taller than Shin Noda.

 

Shinnoda asked while taking pictures of food with her smartphone.

 

“Senior Sia. Are you on social media? May I take a picture? I’m pretty good at taking pictures.”

 

“… .”

 

In fact, she tweeted, but she calmly shook her head.

 

It’s an account full of affection for ‘The Dark Knight’.

 

It was not something that could be taken out in front of Shinnoda.

 

He secretly ignored Lee Shia’s refusal and pointed at the camera.

 

“Turn your neck slightly to the left and lift your head slightly. Yes Yes.”

 

click.

 

“Aon. Aeon.”

 

She was weak and just followed Shinnoda’s instructions.

 

Shinnoda lightly edited the photo she took and sent it to her.

 

Isia was surprised to see the picture.

 

Not her modest figure, but an Instagram goddess-like figure.

 

I was very satisfied with myself on the screen.

 

“Nyaah… … .”

 

She expressed her gratitude.

 

＜Thank you! Are you really good at taking pictures?＞

 

“Yes, of course. If you want, I can take a picture.”

 

Shinno, who has done a lot of photo shuttles with his girlfriend in the world.

 

He could have taken a picture of the same person that looked much better.

 

Shinnoda brought up a curious story.

 

“Does your senior have the ability to become a cat?”

 

knock on top.

 

Isia’s hands moved busily.

 

＜It’s not a normal cat. It’s a monster called ‘Magnus Cat’, but it looks just like a cat the size of an elephant.＞

 

Shinnoda imagined a big cat.

 

‘If it’s a Magnus cat, it’s a C-class monster. It would be good for now.’

 

Magnus Cat has a unique skill called ‘predator’, so it gives ‘fear’ effect to opponents weaker than itself.

 

The dungeon I’m going to now is a place where ‘hell ants’ with weak individual powers come out in hordes, so it wasn’t bad.

 

“By the way, isn’t it inconvenient to go camping or something like that?”

 

“Eon.”

 

＜No! I also wanted to make memories of going somewhere with my friends!!＞

 

Shinnoda smiled softly with a relieved expression on her face.

 

“ha. That’s fortunate. He didn’t say much, so he said he didn’t like it. haha.”

 

Then a cat got tangled in Isia’s leg and rubbed her face.

 

“Nyah. meow.”

 

Isia also responded.

 

“Nyaah.”

 

Shinnoda smiled at the two meows in front of her.

 

“It is said that animals like beautiful women, so that’s why cats like them well.”

 

A message came.

 

＜Because she’s a beauty ㅠㅠ Cats have been following me since I was little. Haha＞

 

＜By the way, it’s a pity that Sihoo and Jihoon couldn’t come ㅠ_ㅠ＞

 

Sihoo and Jihoon were the names of the remaining second-year members of the remaining ‘Hero Culture Research Division’.

 

When the talk of camping came up at today’s meeting, they withdrew, saying they had an appointment.

 

“Because my cousin and one of my friends are going with me. They’re all good guys, so it’ll be fun. By the way, they are both women.”

 

＜Aha. I see! Anyway, I hope you have fun!＞

 

＜(impressed emoticon)＞

 

Shia Lee goes camping for 2 days and 1 night, but it was a little bit like she was the only woman.

 

Thanks to Shin Noda’s appropriate words, I was relieved for an hour.

 

They talked like that and then parted.

 

***

 

Shinnoda headed to the Awakened Management Office.

 

To report a change in ability.

 

The grade written on his Awakening Registration Card is D-class, and his skill is one telekinesis.

 

If the discrepancy from the actual performance was large, it could lead to suspicion in many ways.

 

I was thinking of showing off my abilities.

 

‘Magic engraving and polymorph can be removed. After all, when you’re working as a Dark Knight, it’s all hidden with the hermit’s skin.’

 

On the way, he met a familiar face.

 

“Sanghyun hyung?”

 

“Noda? why are you here… .”

 

“I’m going to the management office. I want to be reassessed.”

 

“I know the Gigantic Great Forest is closed, but it looks like you practiced really hard?”

 

Usually, the stats are raised through the ‘Growth Orb’, but there was no other way.

 

It’s just constant training.

 

It’s very inefficient, but climbs as high as a rat’s tail.

 

So, there were very few people who practiced hard.

 

Even after training for a week, eating an Orb of Growth is much more effective.

 

Only a few conscientious students practice at the training ground.

 

For example, Park Ha-yeon.

 

If nothing else, she trains until the sun goes down.

 

“Yeah what. I worked hard. What are you doing here?”

 

Lee Sang-hyun felt awe.

 

At first, I didn’t know because the rumors were slow, but later investigation revealed that Shinnoda was a really great guy.

 

It’s great that you killed ‘Luna Bear’ in one hit in the first year theme.

 

The teacher Ho-yeol Park praised Shin Noda and even told him to imitate him.

 

‘The foundation is really different.’

 

Shin-no-da-ran in Lee Sang-hyun’s eyes.

 

It was the result of showing what a talented person can do even if they try hard.

 

“I came here to pick up a knife because my home is over here.”

 

“It has already happened.”

 

Not long ago, I gave permission for the Awakened to possess weapons.

 

After that, the fashion of carrying weapons to the academy began to circulate.

 

Most of them carried them for fun, and there were some who had no choice but to carry them.

 

Lee Sang-hyun was the latter.

 

“Can we go and have a look together?”

 

He wanted to see the power of the rumored rookie.

 

Because you can usually see the limits of a person in the measure of ability.

 

“Yes. If you wish.”

 

***

 

evening time.

 

Awakened Management Office.

 

Management office employee Han Min-ki was annoyed by the overtime work.

 

Originally, it was God’s workplace where he left work at 4:30, but if someone made a reservation for the ability measurement, one employee had to wait until then.

 

The employee was usually Han Min-ki, who had the least amount of time.

 

Two male students in academy uniforms entered.

 

‘Is it them?’

 

A student who looked like an idiot hurriedly approached the counter.

 

“This is Shinnoda who has made a reservation for re-measurement.”

 

Han Min-ki responded bluntly.

 

“Yeah. I’ll check later for the slight increase… .”

 

He thought that Shinnoda had come to inflate his abilities.

 

‘Where did you pick up an orb of growth and eat it?’

 

Measurements were not perfect, and sometimes they came out higher than they really were.

 

However, by taking advantage of this, there were tribes who were bluffing by getting higher grades than they really are.

 

In reality, even if it is a D-class, if it is marked as C on the Awakened Registration Certificate, it is socially treated as a C-class.

 

This kind of thing is often done by mediocre C-D class Awakeners.

 

The problem is that it requires re-measurement every day in order to receive a higher grade than the actual one.

 

Because of them, the management office work doubled.

 

Han Min-ki operated the computer.

 

Search by ‘Shinnoda’.

 

Data and fluttering.

 

『D-Class Awakened Shinnoda』

 

‘I knew it would. In any case, the inconsequential things are the problem.’

 

Shinnoda said.

 

“I have greatly increased my stats and acquired new skills. I would like to see an overall B grade.”

 

“Yes? Is the student a D grade in the test a year ago? Even if you run the dungeon all year round, your rank doesn’t go up by two steps.”

 

“I’ll show you and prove it.”

 

Han Min-ki laughed at him inwardly.

 

‘It’s not that unless you’re some kind of genius. I’m still young, so I don’t have a sense of reality.’

 

There was no such person.

 

A talent from heaven, the financial power to obtain a large orb of growth, and constant effort.

 

If all three of these were available, it would be possible.

 

There was one such case among A-class heroes.

 

However, in Han Min-ki’s eyes, Shin Noda was far from such a thing.

 

They headed to the examination room.

 

There were several types of equipment in the examination room.

 

There was no glass box that embodies monsters like the Academy.

 

Because it is a new equipment, it has not been introduced yet due to budget problems.

 

Han Min-ki said, pointing to a machine that looked like a punching machine.

 

“It starts with strength. Hit it.”

 

Shinnoda paused for a moment.

 

“Whoa.”

 

He took a deep breath and clenched his fist.

 

Quang-

 

The machine shook with the sound of a bomb exploding.

 

The results were printed on the display.

 

X XXX → A 133.

 

“Huh.”

 

Han Min-ki and Lee Sang-hyun both had their mouths open.
