Make sure to review todays lesson. It will be helpful for next weeks strategy battle session.
Madam Cho Ok-soon finished her class exactly before the break ti.
Usually, she stayed during the break to answer questions from so students, but today she left the classroom unusually quickly, as if in a hurry.
Because teachers are not supposed to get involved in what happens from now on.
As soon as Madam Cho Ok-soons figure disappeared from sight, the students of Class 3 who had been slumped over like wilted cabbages sprang to their feet.
Freedom!
The fatigue that had been plastered on their faces vanished in an instant and their bodies overflowed with vitality.
One particularly lively boy burst open the classroom door and lunged into the corridor, but
Thump!
Ouch!
He was suddenly repelled backward as if he had hit sothing invisible.
Feeling around the open classroom door revealed an invisible barrier blocking the way.
Thump!
Ugh!
A female student who opened the window to get so fresh air tried to stick her face out the window and ended up accidentally hitting her face against this invisible barrier.
She rubbed her bumped face and muttered.
A barrier?
What was currently surrounding the classroom was a wide-area barrier that was cast on a large scale over the entire Dragon Slayer Academy.
It was far more robust than anything a single mage could conjure and it was nearly impossible for a re student to breach.
Of course, the newcors were unaware of this fact.
They were wondering whether to try breaking the invisible barrier before them or to wait a little longer.
When a second large-scale spell was activated.
Zzzzzzt
A thin film made of magnetic fields appeared at one end of the classroom.
It swept across to the opposite end of the room, passing over the students before they could even react.
Ah!
Eek!
The magnetic field moved so swiftly that the students who were caught off guard reflexively covered their faces, crouched, or stepped back.
However, they soon realized that they were unhard and looked bewildered.
This film was not ant to harm anyone.
Its purpose was to search for people.
Or more precisely, to select them.
What is this!
What exactly is happening?
Parts of so students bodies were emitting a red glow.
Notably around their school uniform pockets or on their foreheads.
One of the female students reached into her inner pocket and took out sothing.
It was a cursed doll that was radiating a red glow.
In a panic, she threw the doll away, only to realize the next mont that it was connected to her by a red line.
Other students didnt have glowing pockets; instead, a large red I was marked on their foreheads.
This ant that the problematic item was in their inventory.
This was an item check. A Ban Wave.
Items deed unsuitable for possession and use by the students of Dragon Slayer Academy were listed in the or in the players terms, the .
And just like now, a Ban Wave would be activated to weed them out and impose sanctions.
The first Ban Wave of the new school year typically occurred with high probability on the first Friday of the first week.
It was the day when most newcors started flocking to the arena for duel battles.
They would have spent days watching replays of other students to gauge the level of skill in their own score range.
In the process, so might have felt their own abilities were insufficient.
Usually, they would accept this reality, still challenge themselves, clash, break, and grow.
And this was exactly what Dragon Slayer Academy expected of its students.
However, so resorted to shortcuts, naly prohibited items.
All to avoid losing points.
Even though using such items would only maintain their scores temporarily and offered no real benefit, they beca blinded by the imdiate points and their judgnt was clouded.
The Dragon Slayer Academy responded to these people with rciless iron fists.
Boom!
A heavy crash sounded from afar.
That must be the barrier wall.
Judging by the distance, it seems they are starting from Class 1.
They will gradually approach us and pass through Class 3 as well.
Hmm, that sounds interesting.
Go Hyeon-woo watched the unfolding events with eyes sparkling as if witnessing a rare spectacle, while Seo Ye-in seed to show little interest, still resting her head on the desk.
Since she didnt possess any prohibited items, no red glow was visible around her body.
On the other hand, Shin Byeong-cheol
Both his pocket and forehead were red.
The I on his forehead was so vivid and intense that it seed like it could shoot out a laser beam at any mont.
How many prohibited items did this guy bring with him?
Unfortunately, soon the disciplinary committee would co to confiscate all of them.
A hefty number of derit points and severe disciplinary actions were inevitable.
There was no escape, nor could he discard the items.
He was in a complete dilemma, trapped on all sides.
I shot Shin Byeong-cheol a disdainful look.
Ah, your fortune seems exceptionally bright today, doesnt it?
Hey dont make fun of . Im in a serious situation right now.
The usual relaxed smile was gone from Shin Byeong-cheols face.
His pupils were shaking uncontrollably and his buzz-cut hair was slick with cold sweat.
Always the sa; you never listen properly. What did you say? Im not that kind of person?
Oh, co on~! Did I know it would be like this? A certain soone should have explained it to in detail.
Your club president must have told you. This Friday, or maybe next Monday, there might be a personal belongings inspection.
Well, yeah, they did ntion that, but not about this kind of stuff
Or did you just not listen to the whole thing?
Shin Byeong-cheol fell silent as if what I just said had hit the nail on the head.
The second and third-year students would have data accumulated over several terms, so they would roughly know when the inspections were likely to occur.
Surely, he had been warned to be cautious, but he chose to ignore that advice too, and this was the consequence.
He brought it all on himself.
Shin Byeong-cheol paced in small circles as he muttered to himself.
Damn, what should I do? Im really screwed. What if I get caught? Ill be dead at with the boss. What to do, what to do, oh man, this is really bad.
Want to save you?
Im serious here! Stop making it worse Wait, what?
Shin Byeong-cheol who had been angrily snapping at suddenly widened his eyes.
He quickly forced a servile smile and asked.
Hyung-nim, what did you just say?
I was thinking of saving you out of pity. But if you dont want it, forget it.
Shin Byeong-cheol grabbed my hand eagerly.
Please save , hyung-nim. Ill do anything you ask, hyung-nim.
Youll owe .
Of course, hyung-nim.
Co this way.
Although it was impossible to avoid attracting the attention of other students since he was already marked, it was better to be a bit more discreet than doing it openly.
We moved to a less visible corner and opened the [Cube of Life].
Put in everything thats prohibited. Focus on small and valuable items.
What happens if I put them in?
Just do it. If you dont trust , then forget it.
No, hyung-nim. I will do it. I trust you, hyung-nim.
Shin Byeong-cheol began transferring the prohibited items into the cube.
Rumble, Boom!!
The sound of thunder erupted from the classroom next door.
Soon, the disciplinary committee would move to class 3.
Shin Byeong-cheols hands moved even faster.
[Blood Ginseng Candy]
[Gloomy Cloud Cookie]
[Skill Book Blind Hatred]
[Dream Candy (Turn into a Retard)]
Theres so much stuff. Are you emigrating or sothing?
Aish, just Im sorry for everything
Shin Byeong-cheol apologized for my sarcastic remark but continued to cram the prohibited items into the cube until it was full.
Nothing of value here.
I would have asked for one or two items if I had seen anything worthwhile.
However, I wasnt particularly disappointed.
There would be plenty of opportunities in the future, and right now, these didnt even qualify as appetizers.
I stored the [Cube of Life] in my inventory.
Not all the prohibited items had been moved, so the I mark still lingered on Shin Byeong-cheols forehead, but it was significantly lighter than before.
He should handle the rest on his own.
Stop right there.
Crack!
A bolt of lightning struck next to and Shin Byeong-cheol, and then Song Cheon-hye appeared out of nowhere as if she traversed space in an instant.
Her gloved hand crackled nacingly with electricity as she asked her question.
What are you doing there?
The Wave had just been activated, and a mark had been imprinted on Shin Byeong-cheols forehead.
With both Shin Byeong-cheol and I turning our backs in a corner of the classroom, it must have looked incredibly suspicious to anyone.
I tried my best to look innocent.
I dont know what youre talking about.
Shin Byeong-cheol defended as well.
Thats right. This friend of mine has done nothing wrong.
I see.
Of course, Song Cheon-hye was not likely to take those words at face value.
She then thrust a device with a shining crystal orb embedded in it towards .
It was an item similar to the Ban Wave as it would turn red if the target possessed any prohibited items.
Wooong
There was no reaction.
Song Cheon-hye activated the crystal orb again but the result was the sa.
.
Can I go now?
Return to your seat.
mbers of the disciplinary committee kept coming in from class 2.
They moved around the classroom and confiscated all prohibited items before registering the owners student IDs on their devices.
Additional derit points and disciplinary action will be imposed depending on the level or number of prohibited items.
Bang, Bang!
Any student who resisted was subdued without rcy.
A male student who drew a knife was struck by Jo Byeoks fist and pinned against the wall, which caused another boy who had been resisting to quietly put away his weapon and present his own items.
.
anwhile, Song Cheon-hye continued to cast suspicious glances at .
She seed eager to check my inventory, but without concrete evidence, she couldnt forcefully proceed with such actions.
In fact, my inventory was now full of prohibited items.
Thats why I tried to finish it before Friday.
The waves emitted by the Cube of Life were so powerful that they could lure Park Naris cat from afar.
These waves of energy wrap the cube in a thick armor-like layer and disrupt the Ban Wave so that whatever you put inside will appear as a Life type item from the outside.
I once found this hidden piece purely by chance.
By using the Cube of Life in this way, Shin Byeong-cheol and the club he belonged to owed a large debt to , and at the sa ti this would promote its value.
An item that conceals prohibited items from the Ban Wave.
Even those in completely unrelated classes would be desperate to have it.
***
After class ended.
I t up with Shin Byeong-cheol in a secluded area.
As soon as he saw , he tried to hug in gratitude, but I pushed him away.
Shin Byeong-cheol was standing awkwardly as he offered his thanks.
Wow, really, thank you. If it werent for you, I would have been completely stripped and ended up either a corpse or a slave.
Keep it as a debt. Ill collect it in full later.
Of course, I wouldnt dream of skipping out on this.
The debt for saving Shin Byeong-cheol from trouble could be collected later, but now I planned to separately demand paynt for extracting the confiscated items.
And from his clubs president.
Lets deal with the prohibited items in your club room.
Sure, lets do that. Actually, the club president wants to et you too. Shall we go now?
Lets go.
Following Shin Byeong-cheols lead, I headed toward the club room.
The troublemakers at Dragon Slayer Academy were responsible for all kinds of accidents and mishaps in here, including trading prohibited items through [Dragon Slayer Academy errand service!].
Off to the thieves club room then.
