There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 52

19. Triad held (2)

A dark training ground with all the lights turned off.

The noise of the muffled people stopped, and a quiet silence settled down.

Soon a man steps forward in the spotlight.

The moderator, dressed in a neat tuxedo, nodded, looking at the crowd with spectators.

Soon after, a magnificent performance by the school music band began.

Thump Thump- Thump Thunder.

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

“Everyone, you have been waiting for a long time!!! The 1st Nakwon School Pan-University Dalian Competition Triad that started to heat up the boring island!!”

Bam~~~~~~.

Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Do

A moderator who constantly keeps his voice in line with the banging background music.

“On the first day, 200 students expressed their intention to participate! Please welcome the 16 warriors who survived the intense individual qualifiers with great cheers!!”

A cry that warmed the atmosphere of the quiet training ground.

good, good, good.

When bright light came down from the light source installed on the ceiling of the training ground, 16 students appeared, each wearing their school uniforms.

A huge cheer erupted from the audience at the sight.

“Oooh!!”

“Fighting!!!!!!!”

“Show us the fear of our faculty!!”

As if enjoying the spectacle, the host slowly walked around the stage, drawing a greater response from the audience.

As high as it gets, high air.

Beads of sweat flowed down the host’s face, and he raised his fingers high in the sky.

“Then we gathered here~~!! With the energetic shouts of the candidates from Nakwon School~~~~!!! Let’s play the game~!!! Let’s do it!”

* * *

“Wow, my God. Sanwoo, where did you get these people from?”

The general office above the stadium.

Camila, who was watching the opening ceremony together, asked if she had goosebumps all over her body, swiping her arms.

As soon as he appears, the presenter overwhelms the crowd and eventually turns the atmosphere of the stadium upside down.

It’s truly an overwhelming crowd control ability.

“I thought I could do well because I was the head of the sports team, but I’m doing better than I thought.”

“You’re just the head of the sports team?”

“Uh, I’m the head of the jousting team.”

Arthur’s 2nd year undergraduate student, Dragonic Jun.

Originally, he was a character who was active as a host in a jousting contest in the second semester.

At that time, the unique sloppy commentary and lines were completely memeticized, and the NPC gained cult popularity in the domestic community.

If such a talent should be used in a match of this scale, then where would it be used?

However, Dragonik must have been a huge talent in this field than I thought.

Clear vocalizations and a strong voice.

There was even a reasonable doubt that his eloquence ability might have reached MAX.

‘If the original commentary is no joke, Gyeonggi-do is no fun. You did a good job picking it up.’

With that thought in mind, I watched Dragonic Jun’s one-man show.

There is no sign of trembling even though almost thousands of spectators are watching. He continued to conduct society skillfully and comfortably.

There are still 20 minutes left until the first match starts, so it was only him that caught the attention of the audience.

“Wow, that’s it, planning an event of this size in such a short time, you’re a talented person I really covet.”

“Are you here, the student council president?”

While observing the society satisfactorily, I turned my head when I heard a voice coming from behind, and Obell, the student council president and Reina, the vice president, had arrived.

I got up and greeted them warmly.

This event was made possible because of the great contributions of the two people.

“I didn’t expect the ripple effect to be this big than I thought.”

“The timing was right, and the professors were actively encouraging it. The product is also very desirable, isn’t it?”

“That’s right.”

The first prize in this competition was none other than Arthur Bradamante’s old memento.

-My ancestors would want their will to go back to the winner of a competition like this.

The highest-quality artifact freely given by Dean Irkan Bradamante.

Just by touching it for a moment, it was enough to tell that it possessed tremendous abilities.

It is the least unique-class artifact.

Maybe it’s legendary.

“If it wasn’t for the position of the student council president, I would have participated too.”

Obell, the student council president, said with a tear in his mouth, as if it were a pity.

“Isn’t there still other content?”

“Ah, ‘Baektoto’. It’s… I feel it all over again. Where else do you come up with such content?”

“It was a game we played often in our area. Everyone said it was unfamiliar here.”

I shrugged and said.

In order to secure insufficient funds for running the tournament, a separate ‘flax ticket’ was issued and made into a kind of sports lottery.

Toto is registered by writing the result of predicting the number of people from 1st to 4th on this ticket and submitting it to the Toto issuance office at the entrance of the stadium.

The more ranks you get, the higher your payout will be.

“So, who did you bet on?”

“I was betting on Yargon, who was the same motive, but only because there were so many competing candidates.”

Yargon.

A total of 16 players were selected through preliminary rounds.

Among them, there were four candidates that were mentioned as unrivaled candidates for the championship.

Yargon, the youngest great sage of Ortana.

Arthur’s Black Panther Byron.

Arin’s Dragon Rider Lineel Ereshigal.

Finally, the best magic swordsman Bernax Hollando.

Except for Bernax, everyone else was treated as a very powerful NPC in the main story.

The only one I can use as a companion is Byron.

It was self-evident that Yargon, who had a good reputation, was also an opponent that could not be underestimated.

“Then who did you bet with, San-woo Baek?”

“You mean? I bet Byron and Aidan Christopher.”

“The most powerful heir of Tarkan and Triston.”

In fact, the reason why Aidan has not been announced as Triston’s successor in the nominations is because his strength has never been noticed.

The moment when Aidan’s power is revealed to the world begins after defeating Bernax in the main scenario of Chapter 2.

But that hasn’t happened yet, has it?

So there were some things that people paid less attention to. No matter how much Triston’s successor is, he’s still not verified by the public.

“This, should I change the result again even now? As long as the organizers say that…”

“Ah, you can repurchase Baektoto at any time at the publisher. It’s just the deadline. If it’s okay, would you like to visit?”

“Oh, that would be fun. We still have a few minutes left before the game starts, right?”

“It’s plentiful.”

I checked the time and said. After all, there will be a brief opening address by Dean Irkan after the showcase is over.

“Then I’ll be guarding the general office. Come on.”

Camilla smiles and waves her hands as if she doesn’t care.

Because I picked one of the deputy heads very nicely.

Even though I didn’t do it separately, looking at the way he made it snap, he was a friend who didn’t have any dislikes.

“If something happens, please tell me.”

I hurried Reina and Obel to leave the general office.

《Receiving and issuing white clay》

[Jung: So-Young Yoon, Manager of Management]

[Deputy: Tae-Hoon Kim, Planning Manager]

A white clay publisher built right in front of the entrance. Inside, So-young and Tae-hoon, who had reached the last stage of reception, were busy moving their hands.

“Everyone has a lot of trouble.”

“Oh, are you here!”

Tae-hoon, who was frantically cleaning out the Toto paper, bowed his head and nodded. Soyoung, who was next to him, greeted him warmly as well.

“You’re from the student council. This is the student council president Obell, and on the right is the vice president Reina I saw last time.”

“Wow! Both of you have wonderful positions. Manager of Management and Head of Planning!!”

“It’s okay to just call me by my first name.”

I smiled and replied instead.

Even though the club has only five members, there is no reason for giving them a plausible position as they are all managers and planning managers.

As the scale of the event has grown, it is to maximize the responsibilities of the members and to emphasize the authority to be exposed to the outside world.

If you just call him Buwon even though his name is Jungjin, he loses his shape.

Manager, Planning Manager. There are no subordinates in reality, and the departments are not subdivided, but anyway, it feels like an authority that was not there is created when a position is entered.

As a result, So-young and Tae-hoon showed that they were trying to fulfill their responsibilities until the end, even though they were not in their main fields.

We seek maximum efficiency with minimum expenditure.

It is a virtue that a club with the purpose of ‘for-profit’ must have.

“Do you think we can fold it slowly now?”

“I was still thinking of withdrawing. Look at this.”

Yoon So-young whimpered and placed the large box lying behind her on the desk.

It was the white clay paper that I had collected so far.

“It’s because I gave up counting from the middle. It will be at least a few thousand.”

“A few thousand…!!?”

Reina said in surprise.

But isn’t that a reasonable number?

There are more than a thousand spectators alone, but there can be no fewer toto papers than that, which you can purchase at will.

“Probably more than enough to cover the money spent preparing for the competition.”

“After paying all this and that, the rest of the money should be used in our own money.”

Seeing the pile of papers made me feel better.

“Ah, that’s what happened. If you apply now, we’ll do it for free.”

“Is that okay?”

“After all, it is an event organized by our club. I can do this with my authority.”

“Oh… then…”

Reina and Obel are excited to write down their ranks.

No matter how talented a member of the Student Council is, he cannot surpass the magnanimity of his nth year of social life.

Proud of K-hospitality!

I never dreamed that this would be so helpful.

“Then once again, as Baek San-woo said, Aidan Christopher in second place….”

“I’ll do that too!”

“You will never regret it.”

I winked at the two of them.

“Uh-huh…”

Triad Round of 16 finalist Aidan Christopher sighed deeply in the players waiting room.

At first, Karindo, who was vehemently opposed to participating in the competition, changed his attitude after confirming the enormous number of participants and prizes.

-It’s a memento of the great hero Arthur Bradamante! Aidan! This is truly a great opportunity!

In addition to that, Baek San-woo’s active participation was added, so I had no choice but to apply as if being pushed.

‘Is it because Sanwoo knew in advance that the hero’s memento would come out as a product?’

After signing with Grundel, Aidan realized that there was no point in questioning Baek San-woo.

Whether he was a player or not, it was clear that he was a person who couldn’t tell the truth, but it was because he felt sincere in his heart for himself.

‘A hero’s guide… … . What do I want to achieve in this competition?’

Aidan closed her eyes and pondered.

There is no way he could have just focused on ‘growth and experience improvement through Dalian’. It was clear that he wanted to gain experience one step above that.

“Group 3 participant, Aidan Christopher, please prepare!”

“Oh, is the time already like that?”

Baek San-woo stood up from his seat with the staff provided by the tournament.

Anyway, it’s too early to jump to conclusions now.

As the budget has passed and Karin is sincerely cheering for you, you can’t approach it with an ambivalent attitude.

Aidan prayed to the name of the old hero who was with him and walked out of the waiting room.
