2023-04-21 16:35:54"I really need to reconsider my decision-making matters for the future."
Ivo grumbled to himself. He really couldn't sleep last night. His head was constantly sending pain so he couldn't sleep at all.
So to pass the time and distract him from the pain. Ivo performs simple drills using techniques he has accumulated during his time as a player.
It was neither a special technique nor a forbidden technique. Just an ordinary mana circulation technique without any advantages.
At first he thought it would take him at least one to two hours. After that he would feel exhausted after circulating mana throughout the body.
But he was wrong. 18 hours, That was the time he had spent performing the mana circulation technique. When he opened his eyes it was already the next morning.
His body condition was worse than he thought. The sudden appearance of his talent was really weighing on his body right now. His brain must continue to work in receiving stimuli that are continuously sent by his senses.
"The problem is this." Ivo opened the information panel and looked at the talent.
'Perfect mana sense' Even I've never gotten a talent of this level. The most I've attained from mana sense is intermediate level. Even as an experienced player with extensive knowledge, the possessor of 'Perfect mana sense' was extremely rare and one of those talents that was impossible to obtain.
"There are many rare talents, but 'Perfect mana sense' is very special" the reason Ivo chose this talent was not because of its rarity. That was because he had personally seen how the owner of this talent fought.
If he had to speak his mind back then, he would say that the battle was a disaster. Even to this day the battle is still imprinted in his head.
"At that time, the scenery of the battlefield changed into a frozen world. There is only ice and snow as far as the eye can see." He didn't know how the battle ended because while observing the battle he immediately died just because of the frozen world's effect that instantly froze his body. In an instant he fell to pieces and immediately logged out of the game..
"There is a price to be paid." Ivo muttered silently accepting his current situation.
It wasn't like he didn't have a way to deal with it, but right now he simply couldn't do it.
…
"Should be here." He looked again at the white card in his hand.
[Exam location:
Tower of knowledge area.
A-1 Building. room no.1]
White Snow Academy is divided into 5 regions according to each where the tower stands as the center.
Ivo looked around. There was nothing different from his memories.
There were a lot of people already gathered. If roughly calculated there are more than 1000 registrants. All from a variety of different backgrounds.
Still, most of them are ordinary people.
Not only registrars are here. There were lots of observers from different organizations. They enrolled their descendant into the white snow academy. It wasn't that they weren't capable of educating and training their children. They had their own goals by enrolling their children into the white snow academy. So there's no need to worry too much.
While observing the people around him, Ivo walked into the A-1 building where the test was being conducted.
This time he wasn't with Raven, apart from being in a different room he was very busy growing his connections at the academy. Even those who are spoken to are great people in the future.
Ivo looked around and sat down at one of the empty tables. He took out the necessary stationery which of course was given by Raven.
"The exam will start in about 1 hour, what should I do now?" Ivo looked around. There are lots of people who read his book. Some people are very easy to recognize because they have seen it more than a hundred times. Especially the girl with silver hair he met yesterday. He sat down next to her.
'I might not have paid much attention yesterday, but she is really beautiful.' Ivo couldn't take his eyes off her for a few moments.
"Hmmm?" He tilted his head as if wondering if something was wrong.
Ivo came to his senses and shook his head. He averted his gaze from the girl. He glanced to his right.
Beside him were a dazzling silver haired girl and a blonde haired girl with blue eyes. Her beauty radiated from both of them, making some people often turn their eyes towards the two of them.
'Somehow I can feel hostility directed towards me.' Several looks of envy and hostility could be felt even I could feel a heart of fearlessness responding to their hostility.
Hey if you're jealous of what this thing is about why didn't you take this place earlier.
Ivo ignored them. To be honest he didn't really care about the first exam because he had already passed it dozens of times plus Ivo often got perfect scores on this exam.
After waiting for an hour, the supervisor in charge of supervising the exam finally came. In an instant everyone immediately entered the book that had been read.
"Alright I don't want any cheating to occur during this exam. Those who were caught cheating they would be immediately thwarted. When you're done, hand it over to the front and leave this room."
The overseer cast his magic. In an instant I sensed that someone was watching me directly. Moreover with [perfect mana sense] this feeling becomes even more uncomfortable.
The overseer threw the exam papers into the air and all the papers fell to each of the examinees. Each examinee receives approximately 100 test papers of which around 30 sheets contain questions.
Of course all of these questions are essay questions. The value of each examinee will be determined by the writing process. So even if someone only answers the final result without including the process, the value of the question will not be counted. This was why the difficulty level of starting at the academy was so high regardless of the many tragedies that would occur in the future.
Ivo looked at his test paper. The material tested focuses on magic calculations with the most difficult material, namely magic algorithms.
"30 minutes, I can finish it in 30 minutes."
…
After 30 minutes
when the participants are still working on exam questions. Ivo stood up and handed all of his test papers over to the proctor.
"I am done"
In an instant everyone stopped writing answers and looked at Ivo. They all showed faces of astonishment and even the supervisor also looked at Ivo with a strange look.
"Are you sure? I will remind you again that the score for this test will take up 30% of the total score. I will remind you again that you better go back to check your exam paper again before you regret it."
"I'm sure" He said it.
Hearing that, the proctor took the exam papers and started checking them one by one. at first he wore an indifferent face, but after he finished reading all of his answers the supervisor frowned. He immediately raised his magic power and directed a magic circle in front of Ivo.
"Say, you're not cheating right?" the overseer asked in an interested tone.
Ivo immediately took 3 steps back and took some distance from the magic circle. As if sensing danger, the buff Heart of fearlessness instantly rose to its maximum level to offset the incoming magic pressure.
The class atmosphere immediately became gloomy. Not only was Ivo suffering from the pressure of the magic power but all of the examinees were also affected. They glared at Ivo and wanted to swear at him, but couldn't because the overseer was still out front.
Ivo felt the most pressure of all. Even though there is support from the heart of fearlessness, it doesn't help much.
This is purely an ability gap that cannot be overcome at this time.
He tried to answer with all his might. "Haahhh…haahhh…No"
"...? Interesting. You actually have 'it'." The overseer looked at Ivo with renewed eyes.
"I thought you were just an ordinary brat without any background. Turns out I was wrong."
He placed the test paper on his desk. As if no longer interested in it.
"Go, you can continue with the exam." the overseer told him to leave quickly.
"Thank you sir." Ivo immediately left the room quickly.
He really didn't want to stay there any longer.
***
"Damn who the hell is he"
"Ugh…this hurts…"
"Wow…"
Almost everyone in the room groaned in pain. The magical pressure residing in the room was not something an ordinary person could handle. Even if they previously received special training, it wasn't at this level.
Rachel looked beside her. There was one person who was unaffected by magical pressure. Even so, her gaze could not be averted from the empty space next to him.
"...?!" Rachel was surprised by his behavior.
After a while, she returned to working on the problem in front of him. Her hands gripped pen tightly and speed up her writing.
Seeing this Rachel was speechless. A person like Veronica loses her calmness.
"I still have to finish the exam." Rachel looked back at the questions in front of her
He tried to continue to write but his hands kept shaking uncontrollably. Not only him who experienced something like that, almost all other applicants also experienced the same thing.
"Sir, can this pressure be relieved, we can't do the exam like this." a girl asked carefully.
Many nodded in agreement at this suggestion, but only cold replies were heard.
"out."
The girl was confused by the answer she heard. "Uh… Sorry?"
"Either you can't hear it, or you are deaf. I said get out." The overseer didn't even glance at the girl. He took out a book and started reading it.
"B-but sir…" Before she could respond, she was sent flying through the window and into a nearby tree. Her hand was twisted and milky white bones were sticking out where they should be.
She lost her consciousness. Red blood flowing out from her body.
Seeing this, everyone fell silent. No one dared to speak again after that.
They could only continue with the exam. At least that's what they have to do for now.

"Should be here." Ivo arrived in front of a large white hall. It was a large and majestic hall that could easily accommodate over 10,000 people.Without hesitation, he immediately entered the hall. Inside, only one person was sitting casually eating potato chips.Several books floated in the air and flipped by themselves according to the person's will. While reading his book, he asked Ivo who had just entered the hall."What is it? Are you guys lost?"Ivo caught his breath before answering. "No sir, I just want to continue the final test."The person asked curiously. He looked at the watch in his pocket. "Continue with the test? The written test is still not finished. Come back later with the others."Before Ivo could answer, he continued his questioning. "What made you believe that you could start the test earlier anyway?"Ivo answered cautiously. He couldn't cause trouble with the person in front of him with his current strength. If he said something wrong his life could be lost at

Ivo appeared in the middle of a very dense forest. Various kinds of trees towered and their leaves formed a canopy that could block sunlight from entering the forest.It's like entering a tropical rainforest. It looked beautiful and calming but Ivo knew there were all sorts of unknown dangers here.Recalling, the third test was never explained clearly by the supervisors. They only said that this test was a point hunt, but did not say the essence of this test.SurviveEven though it sounds unreasonable, this is a survival test set up by the white snow academy. A cruel test that throws all the trash that is not worthy of entering the academy.White Snow Academy only accepts as many as 100 people each year. With more than 1,000 people who took the second test, it's not surprising that the test takers will try their hardest to become one of the 100 people.This is why this test is called a survival test."I have to get out of this forest." Ivo started walking towards the north. Even thoug

Tringgggg…..Tringgggg….The sound of the bell echoed throughout the room where the second test was being held. The examinees handed over their test papers to the overseer and they left the room one by one."Haaahhh ... Those questions don't make sense.""Don't say anything about the test just now. None of the material I studied came out in those questions."People talk a lot about the second test that was carried out. Even though they had expected the exam questions to be difficult, they didn't expect it to be that difficult.Inside the classroom, Raven was tidying up her stationery.

The academy hall was the gathering place for all the students when there were various important announcements, parties, and banquets. With a hall capacity that could accommodate around 10,000 people, the academy hall boasted great splendor.Currently, the academy's hall is used to carry out the academy's final test. Thus, there were only examiners inside the academy hall."Wow… this place is really big and very spacious.""Right. Even the carvings and architecture of this hall are truly magnificent."Almost all the participants were amazed by the sight in front of them. To those ordinary people, seeing the magnificent buildings of White Snow Academy was a completely new experience for them."I should be able to enter the academy.

"This is an opportunity to change my life. I have to pass this final test." Elvin said these words over and over again in his heart. He listened carefully to Argon explanation. His right hand tightly gripped the longsword hanging from his waist. A small silver pin hung from his chest.Not only him, everyone tightly gripped their respective weapons in their hands. They did not miss a single explanation from the person in front of them.Even though many of them entered the white snow academy with different goals and interests, they all still wanted to be accepted into the academy. It's a dream that almost everyone here has."Now let's take a look at the points you've earned so far. This is the ticket that will get you into this academy." Argon waved his hand.

The screen paused and showed the top five rankings covered in black as before."Okay. You already know what your rank is. 1000 people…no, 999 people should be ready to take this last test.

Raven was shocked when he saw what was in front of her eyes. His pretty eyes trembled when he saw him. He could no longer express what he was feeling right now.Happy? No, when he looked at the screen those feelings disappeared.Amazed? No, if it were normal people, they would definitely be very happy when they had such high points.Raven knows what others don't. He understood very well how this point system worked. Many people thought of those points as the only value they had for being accepted as students of White Snow Academy.The points awarded by the white snow academy indeed served to show the value that a candidate who enrolled in the white snow academy had.

“How's the condition? Is it possible to save him?” Ivo asked while looking at the unconscious Elvin. A strange energy overflowed from his body that came from the scars.“I can and it's very easy. But there is one thing that bothers me.” Kevin mustered his mana and sent the strange energy through the wounds on his body.Energy slowly formed into a strange monster with mouths all over its body. The monster was about to bite Ivo and Kevin but was immediately sealed by Kevin."What's this? It sapped nearly all of the mana and strength this boy had. Even though it didn't touch his body constitution but right now he has lost all his strength.”Ivo looked at it and felt a very familiar feeling. "Greed? No… this is gluttony. It seems that everything he has has been snatched away by someone.”This was the energy he once had during gameplay. Even though it was so weak that it couldn't be compared to something Ivo had in the past, the energy that was in front of him was the same.“Gluttony? Are

“Do you think they will investigate our relationship any further?”Kevin shook his head. With what happened today, the Academy would restrain its intention to investigate the two. “The clone that I made is a perfect form that is almost similar to a real human. Unless the clone's soul is directly inspected, They won't know what's going on.”Ivo couldn't help but sigh. He looked at the screen Kevin made about what happened during the time the two of them disappeared and were replaced by a clone made by Kevin.The fight between the two only lasted for a moment before stopping. It was a short battle that could barely even be considered a fight. Both of them just exchanged attacks but neither of them got hurt.On the screen, Kevin said flatly. "You haven't changed. Even after you had the Heart of Fearlessness given by Mr. Gray, your personality hasn't changed. It's still the same as before." Kevin said as if he already knew someone named Ivo Graham.“Perhaps that was the reason you were ch

"Do you think we're the ones that are difficult to manage or they really can't hear what other people have to say?" Amanda spoke to the person next to her.“Wouldn't it be better if we worked together?

Even if it was just the distant past for him right now. the person in front of him and the person he remembered in the past hadn't changed much.Kevin looked at Ivo who was behind him. “Ivo Graham. When we were on the island, you had a resolution in your heart that was incompatible with someone living in this world. With that, I can be sure of one thing.”"You are the same as me. You are someone who shouldn't be here. But from the look in your eyes, I can see that you are very different from me”Ivo didn't answer and just looked at Kevin.He knew many things about the person in front of him. But he still couldn't understand the person in front of him. Their meeting at that time was pure coincidence.Even if he returned to the same place that time, Ivo couldn't find him.

“Are you familiar with this sight?” a voice that came from far away. “Probably not, you are a human who has the blood of the Void race.”In a world surrounded by a gray landscape of many colors, he had never seen. Streams of light of various colors flowing through the air were a form of pure energy. Ivo stood up touching the stream of light.After the two disappeared, Ivo opened his eyes and the scenery around him changed. Not a trace of the blue sky, Ivo stood above the sea of gray accompanied by black.It looked like liquid, but Ivo knew it wasn't water. It was an energy that he could sense within his body ever since he obtained the talent 'Distortion body'. It was Void energy that was so dense that it took the form of a liquid.The oceans flow according to certain and certain patterns. An extremely strong connection could be felt from the energy that flowed through the air and in this ocean.Kevin's voice came from behind him, but when he looked back, no one was there. Just an endl
Path of Swords
Path of SwordsThis was the swordsmanship that Ivo trained and refined endlessly until it finally became perfect swordsmanship for himself.As a player with none of the talents related to swordsmanship and low-level mana sense, the only specialization he had spent the most time with as a player was becoming a Swordsman.Apart from the relatively cheap price of a sword, sword skills are easier to learn than magic.This was a swordsmanship he created from someone who couldn't even swing a sword to be called a proper swordsmanshipIn contrast to Raven who has more than 3 talents regarding swordsmanship. As a player who didn't even have the slightest talent in swordsmanship, Ivo felt that almost all the swordsmanship he had learned had no synergy with him.Even if he developed a talent related to swordsmanship that he cultivated through hard work, there would be a limit to that. In the end, he would run into a dead end.Many say that people who work hard will beat talented people. Those w

Ivo sat on a rock holding 3 medallions in his hands. It was a medallion bearing the White Snow Academy's crest.The medallion is thrown into the air and played as if it has no value at all. If the Academy's students found out that with just one of these medallions they could enter the Tower of Knowledge for a full day, they would fight to the death for this medallion.That's how valuable the medallion in his hand is.“Everyone has their own plan. It didn't matter if it was White Snow Academy or the Court of Death. But this time, they seem to be seeking their own death.”Playing with fire. Even though it was a bit imprecise but it was an almost simile of what White Snow Academy did.Resurrecting the Undefeated King… They would really be crazy to do that. But all of this would align when I think about it. Moreover, Raven seemed to be taking extreme steps to attract attention from White Snow Academy.It seemed that my presence changed everything.Ivo relaxed on the rock watching the clea
