I Teleported Into the Academy of a S*xy Game-Chapter 11: Scandals
Chapter 11: Scandals
Lucy picked Hoyeon Lee as her match, but no one in the audience was interested in the fight.
“50 bucks that she will beat him in 30 seconds.”
“I say 100 for 25 seconds.”
“Hey, then this isn’t a bet.”
There were even some students who were betting on how fast Hoyeon would lose.
“Is Hoyeon that weak? He’s still in A class.”
“Apparently he switched from swordery to magic in less than a month.”
“Huh? Really? Why would anyone do that?”
“How should I know?”
There weren’t many people who knew that Hoyeon had defeated the level 7 scrap metal monster earlier in the training tests.
Even the students who were there to watch him thought that it was by luck, not recognizing his skills in controlling mana.
Due to this, no one thought that Hoyeon would defeat Lucy, who was famous among the 1st years.
“Lucy has one tool, but she is still strong.”
“But what about Lucy? She usually doesn’t pick on anyone.”
“Isn’t that so? She must be interested in him, then.”
The A class students were talking about the battle between Hoyeon and Lucy.
“That’s true. I mean, look at his face. Anyone would grow interested.”
“That’s true. Lol.”
“Hey, they are starting. Look.”
“This is gonna be fun.”
The students who didn’t seem interested at first focused their attention.
The training field was surrounded by a layer of mana. This was so that the attacks wouldn’t have an impact on the outside.
“3, 2, 1, start!”
In the beginning was the initial trade-off to test each others’ strengths.
“Lucy is going too easy on him. It’s because of his looks.”
“But didn’t you say that it’s been a month since he transitioned? He seems pretty skilled for a newbie.”
“Not even a month. Maybe 2 weeks? And his use of mana seems average, you’re overreacting.”
“Is that so? I guess that’s true.”
There was a student who was analyzing thoroughly, but the general consensus remained the same.
Still, as the battle continued, the students had a different reaction.
“Woah! Did you see that just now?”
“Wow, he blocked it with his luck.”
At first, they called him lucky.
“He got lucky and jumped into the gap.”
“No..I think he saw that it was a gap.”
“Yeah, I saw it too. He never lost eye contact.”
In the same A class, there were differences in rank.
When the high-level Soowon Han and Hyun Seung Ha agreed, everyone followed.
“No way, how could anyone dodge that?”
“Yeah, it should be a coincidence.”
“Hmm? Why are his eyes like that?”
Then, someone noticed the change in Hoyeon’s eyes.
The eyes of Hoyeon Lee, which was sparkling in gold, combined with his exquisite face and created a mythical aura around him.
“Is that a skill? I have never heard of a skill that makes your eyes sparkle.”
“Woah, that’s a skill? But it’s so cool…like a CG.”
The students, now focused, could tell.
His dodges were not by chance, but with skill.
“That’s so sick, man.”
“Those eyes have to have some unique ability. Maybe one that lets you see mana?”
“Yeah, it’s a skill we have never seen, and his skills are not making any sense.”
The students lost more and more words as they observed his dodging spins.
But most students knew that Hoyeon was not using magic in the current match.
Only once did he use magic, to create the shield against the fire arrows.
Afterwards, he was only using mana for his bodily functions and physical conditioning.
The only students who could see this far was Daeun Nam and Alice.
At the highlight of the event, when he placed the dagger on Lucy’s throat, the audience became deadly silent.
“Proctor? Please tell us the results.”
“Uh..ah, yes. The winner is Hoyeon Lee. Both of you please step down.”
*
“So crazy. For real.”
“This has to be a unique ability. He was able to see all the magic!”
“I saw earlier, he used fire to get the scrap metal giant.”
After all the match classes were over, the talk on Hoyeon Lee filled the room.
There was a showcase of the brilliant Alice and Daeun Nam, but the main star of the day was Hoyeon Lee.
The beautiful moves of Hoyeon seduced the class, and his handsome face helped.
“His eyes were flaming gold, along with his godly face. I thought it was some action movie scene when he placed the dagger on Lucy’s neck.”
“I got it on video. I have to post it on everyday.”
“Isn’t it enough to replace the valedictorian of our class?”
“Hey, watch it.”
“Hmm? Oh..right.”
All the way in the back, Daeun Nam was listening to all of the conversation.
“Um…we weren’t trying to talk specifically about you…sorry..”
“…”
Making his apology even more awkward, Daeun Nam did not bother to look away from her phone.
She didn’t seem interested in any of this.
The main talk of the class, Hoyeon, was also clueless.
Hoyeon Lee was just staring into the front of the room with his chin resting on his hand.
“Hey, go say something.”
“Those eyes filled with ego…what could he be thinking?”
*
What the flip is up with my eyes?
So scary.
After the duel, I had so much to think about alone in the lousy classroom.
My eyes fortunately returned to normal after the match.
‘They are going off about my unique abilities.’
A unique ability was not an official magic or mana application method. It was purely based on one’s skills and effort.
Only the gifted got one,
And the majority do not.
Hoyeon Lee, being the main protagonist, had a pretty awesome ability.
───――「 Battle Sense 」───――
? Unique ability
?All actions judged to be ‘combat’ are subject to correction.
The higher the risk of ‘combat’, the greater the effect.
───――───――───――───――
It is a unique ability related to combat, and it is a talent that displays an innate sense of battle and combat sense in all actions related to combat.
And, [Clear Vision].
———『 Clear Vision 』—————————
? Unique Ability
?Concentrates mana on the eyes and raises the eyesight to the maximum.
The ability to recognize and distinguish the presence or form of mana is maximized.
——————————————–
‘Unique ability.’
One’s own unique ability. Usually these form by adding a given talent and a different skill, but my case was one in which a special skill was gifted and transitioned with my given talents.
The reason that I could dodge Lucy’s attacks with undefeatable skill was due to [Clear Vision].
The [Mana Empathy] that I received as my special skill worked with my given abilities and enhanced into something greater…is what I am assuming.
I had no idea that there would be such an outcome, but I was glad that I had become a magician.
“That was mad, bro!”
“Hmm? Ah yeah..thanks.”
Younghan Kim approached me to talk.
How natural for him. Others had trouble approaching me, but due to Younghan’s friendly personality and handsome face, he came over easily.
Maybe that’s why he was so confident.
“That was so cool. Those eyes were painted gold, I thought it was a movie scene!”
“You were pretty good yourself!”
“Man, I was not so special compared to the star. But what was that? Those golden eyes! Everyone went mad. Is that your unique ability?”
Younghan Kim made his trademark colgate smile and asked.
“Well, that’s a secret.”
It wasn’t really a unique ability to begin with, but I had no reason to tell anyone about [Clear Vision].
Since I had no idea what trouble I could get myself into later, I needed a wild card to protect me.
“Oh darn. You wanna grab dinner later? I found a good spot for wings.”
“Sorry, I got plans.”
A date with a man? There was no worse way to waste energy. I rejected.
I didn’t even have enough time with the ladies to seduce them.

“Should I skip training today?”
My condition was at the bottom. You can only grow with good rest.
“Yes, I should. I deserve it.”
I walked outside of my dorm.
I should go buy some snacks. Sometimes, you gotta spend on yourself.
The marketplace was no different from two nights before.
I decided to go for a walk at the park and stared at the sky from a bench. I still could not believe that I was inside a game.
After wondering for a while, I found a cafe with a large glass window.
Cafe Fallen Moon(落月)
It was the cafe in which I met Surin Moon. When I peeked inside, there was no sign of her.
“Should I take a look?”
I remembered the information about the game after I met Surin inside the cafe.
This was one of Surin’s favorite spots. It would be smart to go take a look at its interior for future use.
The markets will remain open for a while, anyway.
Ring~
“Welcome-!”
Inside were several tables and a staircase to the second floor.
It was an atmosphere that women would love, with its cute little decor placed throughout.
“I would like a clair rose latte, please.”
“Coming right up~”
I had no idea what this Clair Rose thing was. Maybe a new plant from the dungeon.
“A clair rose latte is out-”
I grabbed the drink and picked a random seat. The drink had a slight rosy scent to it.
Sip.
I took a big gulp of the drink with the straw.
In the beginning, a sweet and mellow rosy scent covered my mouth, then became minty and then turned spicy.
“Woah, what is this? Hmm?”
It was a taste that could wake anyone up…why would anyone drink this?
Dumbfounded by the mysterious taste, I opened the lid and observed the colors. It had white and green, but there was fun in watching that the colors did not mix no matter how much I stirred with the straw.
Ring~
A new customer must have entered. I slightly raised my chin.
Surin Moon was ordering coffee.
“Kuhepep!”
What? Can my timing be this good?
Surin Moon, who had finished paying, looked around for a seat then made eye contact.
Since we made eye contact, I just nodded my head, but she started walking over.
Heh?
