I became a childhood friend of the middle boss.
In fact, I had in mind the assumption that I might end up serving as class representative in the second semester as well.
This is because there were no students in the class with a background comparable to mine and Min A-rin, and there were no students who received a lot of support or had outstanding leadership skills.
As someone who served as vice president for the first semester, I am embarrassed to evaluate it directly, but our class was firmly united under Min A-rin and me.
There has never been any trouble or conflict between members.
At best, it was an argument over a minor difference of opinion.
‘At that time, the kids’ nerves were at their peak as they were preparing for the match against each other.’
Even that ended in a peaceful reconciliation between me and Min A-rin.
All of the students respected our authority and strongly supported us.
“And Gyeonwoo and Arin are the representatives… . So, does that mean I won’t be able to sit freely this semester as well?”
“The dictatorship continues in the second semester… . Now even the instructors have acknowledged it.”
“It would be convenient for the instructors as well. In fact, there is no one better than them… .”
“… .”
In other words, the public opinion of the students in my class was following Min A-rin and me.
So much so that no matter what we tell them, they obediently follow without complaint.
Hong Yena and Yu No-eul may have decided to remain as class representatives for that and other reasons.
Even so… .
‘Witch, aren’t you doing this too much? There is no need for this kind of bravery… .’
Unlike Min Arin, who was proud of being recognized by the two people, I couldn’t just welcome her.
Even in the second semester, I had to take on various chores and lead by example for my class, so I couldn’t help but sigh.
So, I looked at Hong Yena, who was draped over the teacher’s table, with a resentful gaze.
When our eyes met, she wiggled her eyebrows as if it was difficult.
‘Is it too much to do too much? There is no harm to you, so please volunteer for your class this semester as well. ‘Wouldn’t you like to suffer together with me?’
The look in his eyes seemed to say just that.
Having given up on arguing with Hong Yena, I decided to stay silent and listen to the announcement.
“You may already know some of them, but in the second semester, you will be able to meet people working in the industry often on the academy grounds or in classes. They are guest instructors invited by the academy, so be careful not to treat them rudely or look down on them. I hope you protect the dignity of the Academy. Above all, keep in mind that if you treat them carelessly, it will harm you.”
Academy students were able to receive scouting offers from hunters beginning in the second semester of their third year.
Therefore, all academies in Academy City used to invite officials with scout qualifications as guest instructors to help students who were about to graduate during this period advance into the industry.
Hong Yena warned them to be careful because if they go against their wishes, they may face problems in entering the industry in the future.
“And kids, the guest instructors might encourage you to scout. Those people will know that you are a first year student based on the color of the tie and ribbon you are wearing, so there will be no cases like that. Still, there are cases where students approach first and second year students and persuade them in violation of the association’s regulations. I’m proud of this, but it caught my eye a few times when I was a student. Anyway, if something like that happens, please let us know. Don’t be swayed no matter what conditions are presented to you, and you know you have to refuse them, right?”
“You may have heard that a group of brokers who joined forces with several clans and persuaded students who were not yet draft season to sign slave contracts were arrested some time ago. Beware that if you are deceived by the conditions right in front of you and sign a contract incorrectly without knowing anything, that can happen. Of course, since all the guest instructors invited by Geumgang Academy are people of great reputation, I wouldn’t go that far. Still, you never know.”
We listened to the advice of Noeul Yu and Yena Hong.
Meanwhile, I had other thoughts.
‘The villains are digging in during this period.’
According to the game’s story.
The villains, united by Tacheon, scout Academy City and infiltrate all academies in Academy City as guest instructors by lying about their identities for the purpose of recruiting talent.
So, among the guest instructors my friends and I would meet in the future, there would be renegade hunters and villains.
However, it was necessary to be careful not to be tempted by their offers.
More than anything… .
‘It was at this time that Yuri was encouraged to change her profession and turned into a villain.’
The exact time is unknown, but it is an event that occurs during the final exam period.
「???」
-You are the same type as us. A type of person who wears a human mask, but cannot live among people. Are you going crazy trying to suppress your true nature? Are you crazy about wanting to kill and destroy things? I don’t know that feeling. I understand too. Because I did too.
「Nam Yuri」
―… .
「???」
-The world you stand in now is not a world that suits you. Do you want to continue to suppress yourself in that world, feel the gap between yourself and others, and live in pain and misery? If you don’t want to do that, come with us. In our world, we live as ourselves.
[The villains encourage Nam Yu-ri to change her career. What would you like to do? Please select.]
▷ “I’m sorry, but I’ll decline. little… “I have some kids that bother me.”
▷ “If I go to you… “Can you break the family chain that binds me?”
At this time, depending on the player’s choice, Nam Yuri can be recruited as a colleague.
Or, they could have made her a villain and led her to a bad ending route.
In that case, the ending of the world being destroyed by her and the villains awaited.
Of course, since I did not wish for destruction, I had to work hard to prevent her from choosing to change.
‘In the game, it was a problem that could be easily solved by clicking on an option, but in reality, it’s not like that. ‘You have to take good care of Yuri so that she doesn’t develop other feelings for no reason.’
Since I didn’t know about the villains approaching Nam Yu-ri, I had to assume the worst case scenario that they would contact her without my knowledge.
Therefore, what mattered was her heart.
If she wanted to stay with us, there was a good chance she would refuse to transition.
I decided to take special care to make sure she didn’t feel left out.

The first week of semester is the course registration correction period.
So, the students approached the class with a light heart as an experience and decided whether to take the course or not.
The instructors did not know this either, so they usually proceeded flexibly in the first class.
But unfortunately, the Punishment Sword Guardian Nation did not fall into the normal category.
“nice to meet. I am the Guardian in charge of this class. There are some faces I’ve never seen before, and some I’m quite familiar with. “I’m glad that familiar faces will be able to join us in the second semester as well.”
Strengthening practical sword skills in the 6th and 7th periods on Mondays.
Suho-guk, who excitedly introduced himself, said that he would not take it lightly because it was his first class and would hold the class for a full two hours so that he could learn and gain a lot.
Whether they expected it or not, the students couldn’t help but sigh in unison.

Kang Han-byeol and I, who took the class together, had the same reaction.
‘There are people who secretly run away.’
These are probably people who canceled classes because they did not meet their expectations.
I glanced sideways at them as they crept out of the classroom as inconspicuously as possible.
The Protectorate seemed to have noticed them as well, but paid no attention, as if they would not catch anyone leaving.
Then, he had guest instructors bring a box that was placed on one side.
The box was full of blunt wooden swords.
“Let everyone hold one bag. “There is no difference in the condition of any wooden sword, so don’t try to argue.”
Given the circumstances, it seemed like the class was being taught with a wooden sword that would be difficult to cut even with a piece of paper.
Kang Han-byeol and I followed the instructions and picked up any wooden sword.
When the box was almost empty, the Guardian pointed to a space with a glass wall.
“Now you will be divided into groups and practice cutting paper flying in all directions. Of course, I’m not telling you to cut it with that wooden sword. Give mana with sharp attributes to the wooden sword. “In that state, you swing the sword.”
Training in cutting paper with a sword was recommended to people who had just entered swordsmanship.
When I was young, I also remember having fun with a sword by cutting paper.
So, I thought it wouldn’t be that difficult once I heard the explanation.
That thought was broken right after I started training.
‘Instructor, you didn’t say that paper was academic paper?’
The paper blowing in the wind was so small.
It was almost impossible to cut it with a wooden sword whose blade was coated with mana.
The wind generated by the recoil of swinging the wooden sword also gave variables to the flying paper.
As a result, all I could do was cut the air.
‘How do I cut this? Even if I try to cut it, it flutters even more because of the wind I create… .’
In order to cut, the angle, movement, and speed of the blade must be appropriate for the target being cut.
However, it was not until the paper fluttered like this that it interfered with considering the three factors.
In addition, controlling mana according to the conditions presented by the Guardian Nation was also a problem.
‘There’s nothing you can do with a gift… .’
It’s difficult.
At this rate, you won’t be able to cut a single piece until the time limit expires.
In that case, we have no choice but to break away from the existing methods.
I decided to calm down and find a way.
‘You shouldn’t blindly follow with your eyes. Don’t put too much force on the sword… .’
Not as a feeling of cutting paper, but as a feeling of being touched by a blade.
It infers the flying trajectory of the paper and swings it with the minimum necessary force.

The purpose of practical swordsmanship strengthening classes is to enable students to handle their swords more delicately and sharply.
Cutting paper blowing in the wind with a blunt wooden sword was part of the training for this purpose.
‘You may have cut down fixed paper, but you have probably never cut paper flying around in the wind. Especially if it’s something smaller than your fist.’
The Guardian’s goal was to enable students to ultimately reach the level of cutting flower petals.
He was filled with enthusiasm as he watched them in the midst of training.
Meanwhile, Do Gyeon-woo and Kang Han-byeol caught my eye.
‘It seemed like I couldn’t figure it out at first, but the speed at which I realized it was extraordinary. The 2nd and 3rd graders are also confused, and they are already getting the hang of it… ‘I’m a bastard.’
The two people suddenly stopped panicking and were cutting down the paper, little by little.
It was not difficult to check with the naked eye.
This is because the pure white crane paper used as a teaching material has the property of reacting to mana, and turned black the moment it was cut.
‘This is possible considering various factors such as the ability to control mana, as well as the angle, movement line, and speed of the blade’s contact… ‘That’s amazing.’
As time passed after training began, the amount of black paper flying around the two increased.
The Guardians could not help but be amazed by the sight.
The reaction of the guest instructors assigned to him for the second semester was also similar.
“It’s amazing how well you handle a sword, even though it doesn’t just fall and the wind is blowing strong. This is a feat that even those in active duty cannot easily perform… .”
“Judging by the red tie, I think he’s a first year student. That’s sad. If I were a third year student, I would have gone right away and asked for his contact information, but tsk… . “It’s something I can’t eat.”
“There was a reason why I was taking third grade classes. Guardian Instructor, can you tell me what the names of those students are? If you have that level of skill, I think your name would be known to some extent… .”
“… They are called Do Gyeon-woo and Kang Han-byeol. Gyeonwoo is from the Shingeom Taoist school, and Hanbyeol is Tugui’s disciple.”
“It somehow seemed like that… .”
The eyes of the guest instructors who came to see the skills of the third-year students were completely focused on Do Gyeon-woo and Kang Han-byeol.
Due to regulations, they could not offer scouting to the two people, so they lost their appetite in disappointment.
“I guess we can’t touch the child of the Divine Sword Daoist School. There is a high probability that you will join the Regulus Clan, a clan of the Divine Sword Daoist clan.”
“Instead, Tugui’s disciple will be free when he graduates… “The scouting competition will be fierce then.”
“I’m jealous of Tugui’s disciple.”
“There, you guys. You’re not trying to break the rules and approach that kid, are you? Just try approaching it. Because I’m going to mess with the association. And young Tugui caught our eye first, right? “Since I entered school!”
“Oh my, you can’t do whatever you want? This is ridiculous. Oh, you’re saying that because you don’t think you can offer higher conditions than other places?”
“… .”
The guest instructors are already getting nervous.
Guardians, who secretly watched them, couldn’t help but worry about when the two would enter their third year.
On the one hand, I had to be suspicious of them.
‘Among these, there may be villains who have defected or hidden their identities…? .’
Villain society was integrated by Tacheon.
This was information that most instructors, including the Guardians, knew.
As a result, Academy City’s academies had to keep in mind the risk of villains among them while accepting guest instructors.
So Hye-yul, the star witch and chairman of Geumgang Academy, even hinted at it to trustworthy instructors.
―There will definitely be dangerous elements among the guest instructors coming this time. So, be careful about what you say to avoid leaking important information to them. Anyone suspected of being a dangerous molecule must report it to me.
In fact, there was no need to worry if a guest instructor was not invited.
However, the opportunity for third-year students to find their career path could not be eliminated.
It also gave the impression that Academy City was cautious and bowed to the threat of the villains.
Above all, I did not know that it would instill fear in people who had not yet received information about the revival of the Mine Society.
That shouldn’t happen.
Even so… .
‘I don’t feel very good about having to suspect the same hunters.’
The Protectorate could not help but be uncomfortable with the current situation.
The sorrow deepened.
