Inside the academy, in the monitoring room.

“”…””

Silence filled the monitoring room that had been friendly until the second exam.

All the instructors who were analyzing and evaluating the talents and skills of the examinees they were monitoring had their mouths shut.

The same went for the two instructors who were intensively monitoring Lee Yu-jin.

After a brief moment of silence…

“…Hmm.”

Kang Cheol-su, one of the two instructors, the male one, broke the silence and let out a short exclamation.

“…Amazing.”

Lee Yeon-ji, the female instructor, also murmured an exclamation.

“Lee Yu-jin, that guy. He’s something.”

Kang Cheol-su’s eyes shone as he looked at Lee Yu-jin on the monitor.

He had been working at Arena Academy for 20 years.

During those 20 years, he had seen many examinees, taught many students, and debuted many graduates as heroes.

But he had never seen an examinee like Lee Yu-jin before.

It was like looking at a veteran hero who had experienced all sorts of battles, not an examinee taking the entrance exam to enter the academy.

Thorough preparation and outstanding combat power.

And even bold action.

Who would think he was just a 20-year-old examinee?

‘Honestly, there are many examinees with greater abilities than Lee Yu-jin.’

Lee Seo-yeon, the daughter of Korea’s transcendent, the Sword Star, and the next successor of the large guild, Mirinae.

Arthur Pendragon, the next successor of the large guild ‘Round Table’ in England and a descendant of the Knight King.

Shuhei Asuka, the daughter and heir of Japan’s transcendent, the Twin Sword Dragon Shuhei Kento.

Noah, the son of Gloria, the 1st generation transcendent and the guardian of the United States, known as the Great Saintess.

By the way, there were even rumors that Noah is a saint candidate.

In addition, there were many examinees with outstanding bloodlines, families, and abilities in the exam site.

In contrast, Lee Yu-jin fell behind in everything.

Bloodline? None.

Family? None.

Ability? Weak.

From observing since the first exam, Lee Yu-jin’s physical abilities were the weakest among all the examinees taking the exam.

When he was running through the forest to avoid the electric field, he persistently kept running, but unlike other examinees, his stamina was quickly depleted.

As for mental abilities… It was still unclear.

Judging from the actions Lee Yu-jin has shown, it seemed high, but tenacity, willpower, and resourcefulness were not related to mental abilities.

However, regardless of physical or mental abilities, Kang Cheol-su evaluated Lee Yu-jin the highest among the examinees who would be admitted this time.

The same would go for all the instructors here.

‘I hope classes begin soon.’

As an instructor, there’s nothing more fun than teaching such an outstanding student.

Kang Cheol-su grinned as he looked at Lee Yu-jin on the monitor.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

 

The entrance exam had ended.

Regardless of whether they passed or failed, everyone returned to the auditorium and dispersed according to the guidance of the guides.

Before that, the guides had gathered the successful applicants, including me, separately.

They said that the entrance date and other information could be found later through the smartwatch.

The smartwatch distributed during the first exam became the property of only those who passed.

Distributing the latest technology smartwatch just like that.

As expected of the world’s best academy. They have a lot of money.

Checking the functions of the smartwatch, I returned to the studio where I had been staying since I had possessed a character in this world and lay down on the old mattress.

“Hah… It’s tiring to run directly.”

The game ‘Arena Academy’ supports the VR system.

So most of the content is enjoyed on the computer, but when it comes to combat, it switches to VR and is enjoyed in first-person perspective.

However, since it was a game, not reality, even when moving and fighting in first-person perspective, the system only consumed and recovered stamina, without any feeling of fatigue or exhaustion.

But now that I was moving my body in the world of ‘Arena Academy’, which had become real instead of a game… It was fun.

Very much so.

At first, I was perplexed that the game had become reality, but when I registered for the academy exam and actually saw the characters I had only seen virtually, I felt both happy and amazed.

With my own eyes, not the character’s.

With my own body, not the character’s.

Being in the same world as the characters from the game.

Having conversations with the characters from the game.

It was so moving.

To describe this feeling, it’s like the feeling of only admiring from afar and then having the object of admiration approach and talk to you.

Savoring that exciting feeling, I pulled a message window that had been visible since the end of the exam and had been pushed to the corner of my vision to check later.

⚙ System Notification ⚙


You have completed quests.

Please open the quest window to check the rewards.

As if urging me to check, the message window was blinking.

I sat up, leaning my back against the wall.

The main quest ‘Enroll’.

Although I haven’t fully enrolled in the academy yet, it seems that the unknown entity, whether it’s a god or a developer, who gives the quests has flexibly marked it as completed because I passed all the exams and met the conditions to enroll.

Rub rub.

I rubbed my hands in anticipation.

I had completed numerous quests and received numerous rewards.

But that was all within the game.

Now that the game has become reality, my heart was pounding as it was the first reward I received.

And above all, the thing in the quest rewards.

‘Random Cheat Usage Ticket’.

Although it was only one, and it was random, not designated.

Since it allowed me to use a ‘cheat’ from the ‘cheat tool’ that I couldn’t use until now like a pie in the sky, I was drooling.

“I shouldn’t expect too much, but…”

The higher the expectations, the greater the shock when betrayed.

But since I might be able to use a cheat, I can’t help but have expectations even if I don’t want to.

Anyway, calming my trembling hands from the excitement of anticipation, I opened my mouth and spoke its name.

“Quest window.”

At the same time as those words…

Main Quest Chapter. 1: Quest Clear

Rewards appeared below the quest name shining in gold.

“3,000 points will be awarded as a reward.”

“The ‘Point Shop’ will be unlocked as a reward.”

“1 ‘Random Cheat Usage Ticket’ will be awarded as a reward.”

And then.

Bam ba ba bam!

[☆★Special Bonus for Outstanding Performance!☆★]

As fanfare rang out, a message window similar to ‘☆Developer’s Special Gift★’ that I saw when I was first possessed appeared and emitted rainbow colors.

And behind it, new rewards shining in gold like the quest name appeared in a list.

“Achieved ‘5th place’ in the first exam”

“An additional 5,000 points will be awarded as a bonus reward.”

“Achieved ‘3rd place’ in the second exam”

“A ‘B-grade Item Selection Ticket’ will be awarded as a bonus reward.”

“Achieved ‘1st place’ in the third exam”

“2 ‘Random Cheat Usage Tickets’ will be awarded as a bonus reward.”

“…”

I was speechless.

I blinked my eyes and double-checked the rewards.

And after a moment…

“Wow.”

What came out of my mouth was a single exclamation that encompassed all meanings.

◇◇◇◆◇◇◇

 

It was a feast of rewards that made my mind go blank.

Barely coming to my senses in the midst of that feast, I exhaled the hot breath rising from within me and closed the quest window.

“…Do they have so much to spare even after giving out this much?”

I had played the game ‘Arena Academy’ for 30,000 hours, but they had never given out this much even once.

And since it was written next to the points ‘Additional rewards based on performance’, I thought they would only give extra points.

But… Not only points but also a bunch of other things.

‘I’m stuffed.’

It feels like they not only gave me pork belly but also put sliced beef steak in my mouth.

“Is the developer showing favoritism to me?”

The developer who sent me here.

The developer who legally gifted me an illegal program called a trainer.

Ah, developer bro!

If you’re watching me, please unlock a good cheat for me!

Shouting that, I closed my eyes and prayed for 3 seconds.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I immediately opened the ‘cheat tool’.

[☆Arena Academy☆]

[v 1.0 plus 8 Trainer]

– Invincibility

– Infinite Health

– Infinite Stamina

– Infinite Mana

– Infinite Items

– Speed Limit Removed

– Super Accuracy

– Enemy Slow Motion

“Kya, it’s been a while since I’ve seen this.”

Since I first opened the cheat tool it had only been 3 days until I opened it again, but.

On the first day of possession, I registered for the entrance exam.

On the second day, I was busy running around to obtain the items needed for the exam.

And until today, the third day, I was busy taking the exams.

And now!

The long-awaited day has come when I can use the cheats!

With a heart full of anticipation, I reached out my trembling hand towards the cheat tool with excitement.

First, I tried pressing ‘Invincibility’, the cheat of cheats.

Dong!

[10 Select Cheat Usage Tickets do not exist.]

[It has been confirmed that the player possesses Random Cheat Usage Tickets.]

[Do you want to use a Random Cheat Usage Ticket? YES / NO]

A short beeping sound rang out, and a message indicating it couldn’t be used and a message asking whether to use a Random Cheat Usage Ticket appeared.

I immediately pressed the YES button firmly.

[Confirmed the acceptance of using a Random Cheat Usage Ticket.]

[Before using a Random Cheat Usage Ticket, the quantity will be checked.]

“…What?”

What do you mean by checking the quantity?

I frowned at the quantity confirmation message that appeared after the message confirming the acceptance of usage.

And the anticipation that had been rising in my heart quickly sank like a deflating balloon.

[…It has been confirmed that the player currently possesses 3 Random Cheat Usage Tickets.]

“Ah, no way.”

It can’t be what I’m thinking, right?

[…Listing the cheats corresponding to the number of Random Cheat Usage Tickets.]

“Ah, damn it!”

I hoped it wasn’t, but it really is!

【Available List】

1. Infinite Stamina

2. Infinite Items

3. Speed Limit Removed

4. Super Accuracy

*Only ‘1’ cheat can be drawn with 3 tickets.

[Do you want to use ‘3’ Random Cheat Usage Tickets? YES / NO]

“…”

A list of only 4 out of the total 8 cheats.

As soon as I saw that, I felt my heart that had been as hot as a blast furnace go completely cold.

The excitement from my anticipation had completely subsided.

“Hmm… I had expected it, but.”

When I pressed Invincibility and saw the notice that 10 ‘Select Cheat Usage Tickets’ were needed, I did think ‘Could it be the same for Random Cheat Usage Tickets?’

“But to think it would really be like that…”

Feeling dejected, my body went limp.

But that feeling was only momentary.

“Still, at least I can use a cheat.”

My mood instantly improved again.

Although the best-looking ones like Invincibility, Infinite Health, Infinite Mana, and Enemy Slow Motion were missing!

The currently available Infinite Stamina, Infinite Items, Speed Limit Removed, and Super Accuracy were still good cheats.

No, honestly, they were not inferior to the S-grade talents and skills possessed by the main characters at all.

They might even be better.

Rub rub.

Rubbing my hands with anticipation rising again, I reached out towards the usage confirmation message.

“If something is going to be drawn, I hope it’s Infinite Items.”

The others were good too, but what I felt was the best right now was Infinite Items.

Because there were so many things I could do with the Infinite Items cheat.

“It’s not because I don’t have money right now.”

Anyway, it’s not.

With that thought, I firmly pressed the ‘YES’ button.

Then…

Ding ding ding ding!

[Infinite Stamina] → [Infinite Items] → [Speed Limit Removed] → [Super Accuracy]

It started rotating quickly, making a roulette sound in that order.

And after a moment…

……

Bam ba ra bam!

My first cheat was drawn.

I hope cheats he gained are kept permanently, rather than being given a time limit of like, “3 hours” or something before he has to draw them again. I’d much rather see him use a single cheat creatively for 100+ chapters straight and struggle desperately to draw each one as the story progresses and the stakes get higher than to see him only use each for a limited time before losing them.

I don’t know what “infinite item” means, but i’d choose “infinite stamina” first out of everything in that list.

I haven’t read the next chapter but I can almost guarantee that’s what he’ll draw.
