Bab 167: 167 What is This Overpowered Character?
Chapter 167: What is This Overpowered Character?
The admission counselor? Maybe I misheard expulsion counselor? Next, I beat up my classmates, set fire to the dormitory, and gave several seniors a herniated disc. And lastly, the student council president!
I didn't remember a thing, but it seemed like I also had a very hot and promiscuous night with my senior. So why was it the admission counselor? Was this an educational facility that favored delinquent students?
"It's not like that, Student Kang Han-soo."
As soon as I came out of the living room, the man who was supposed to be the admission counselor answered with a soft smile. He was a slightly skinny man that emitted an atmosphere like a knife. A teacher who would realistically lead the student to higher education according to the student's grades without errors. To put it another way, he seemed to give only realistic advice, excluding any bubbles of hope or dreams that were pleasant to hear.
…He must have read my first impressions like this. But he didn't deny it and only smiled deeper.
"My name is Kang Han-soo."
I sat down on the soft sofa as I answered. For some reason, the unrelated Demon King was also attending this event and watched us with an excited expression.
"You may have heard it from the maid, but let me introduce myself again. My name is Parker Lee, and I serve as the chairman of guidance and the middle and high school admissions counselor. You can call me Mr. Lee."
"Ah, yes."
I didn't want to be very friendly with him. Today would be our first and last meeting, after all.
"I would like to seriously consult with Student Kang Han-soo about your secondary education major, but first of all, it's urgent to change your mind to drop out despite your excellent grades."
"But I'm graduating, not dropping out?"
"But you are still under-educated. Even in your hometown, isn't it very difficult to transfer into becoming a member of society with just an elementary school diploma?"
"This is different."
I just need to go back to Earth and live the life of a normal citizen. From my perspective, this wasn't about going from elementary school to middle school. It was like choosing whether to go from university to graduate school. I had no intention of devoting my life here, so there was no problem even if I didn't build a higher educational background.
"Your misunderstanding is well understood."
"It's not a misunderstanding. It's a fact."
"Haha! They said that people see as much as they know. Dimension Earth has led a peaceful life without outside interference for about two hundred years. However, if you look closely, there have been extraordinary unfortunate events ranging from religious wars to world wars. Still, there has never been a single situation so terrible that the entire human race was threatened with destruction."
"Isn't that thanks to you?"
"We were just teaching. Have you ever heard that creativity is the mother of imitation? The concept of demons and angels isn't an imaginary being created by humans for political and religious purposes. They saw the existence that existed from the beginning, and the ruling class transformed it according to their taste and put it into their mythology. But not everyone thought about using it. Earth's heroes, who felt a sense of crisis when they saw transcendent beings such as angels and demons that cause natural disasters with just a gesture, were taught by us and protected their home planet for two hundred years. Just like the older generations did."
…Was it because he was an admission counselor? He seemed to talk a lot and even changed the subject a little bit.
"Now is the main point. Depending on the situation of the Earth's people, we have been recruiting students every hundred years or so. But recently, as the Earth faced the agricultural revolution, the population exploded, and as a result, student recruitment became easier, and the cycle changed to every two-hundred years…ah! Is this off-topic too? This is the conclusion. The act of refusing to go to school despite being capable of it is a betrayal of both the Earth and humanity."
"What do you see about me to say that I am capable of it…?"
"I think objective data is more reliable than sloppy words. So please take a look at this."

There were fifty-two of them! According to the value of the achievement, there seemed to be a lot of stars behind it. There were quite a few duplicates and similar achievements, but they were probably counted separately. Therefore, many achievements were accumulated while subjugating enemies in the shortest time without the Holy Sword or any companions. This was because the achievements included powerful monsters, demons, and villains I inadvertently passed over as extras.
Though, there was one achievement that caught my attention in particular.
"As expected! I was so cute when I was a kid!"
"…It was the most incredible achievement, to the extent that I suspected there were fraudulent votes.
"Anyway, there are a lot of achievements."
"That's right. Elementary school students who are rated as excellent set an average of two or three achievements. However, Student Kang Han-soo has fifty-two of them. You complained that there were many duplicates, but these are originally achievements that are difficult to achieve. None of these are as easy as they might sound."
As he brought in objective data, I couldn't get away with it any longer. So, I looked for something different.
"…How about my reputation and personality?"
This was the grade that had been holding me back since the 1st playthrough. In particular, my personality always failed because it was far from the hero's mental state desired by all the faculty staff and the Fantasy God. No matter how talented you are, it's hard to hire someone if your personality isn't likable.
I didn't know the day would come when the personality that was stressing me out would help.
The admissions counselor continued.
"It's hard to say it was good, but there is something to be corrected. As Student Kang Han-soo said, your reputation score was on the low side, but it came out quite good enough to be ranked fifth in the Fantasy Native Voting. The problem is with your personality, but it's not a problem enough to give up on your ability."
"But I'm going to destroy the secondary education center?"
"Do as you please. There are plenty of classrooms."
"…"
I glared at the admission counselor. But he went on with a smile without raising a single eyebrow.
"As you have proven yourself this time, your combat power has already surpassed even the secondary school students. In my opinion, I would like to transfer Kang Han-soo into a higher education course and provide guidance. Still, many teachers are against it…it's a shame about that personality grade."
"Are you going to force me to go to school?"
"No way? Please check the current festival score."
"…Score? It's crazy!"
▷ Score: 872345
▷ Rank: 1
My scores were going down smoothly until the dormitory was destroyed, and the graduates were punished. How did this happen? I had no choice but to suspect manipulation.
"There is no manipulation. I can indeed do it if I want to, but the Health Teacher is monitoring you."
"Then what is the reason…?"
"While you were asleep, the elementary school dormitory burned down. But the natives of the Festival were delighted to see this."
"Hah?"
What kind of crap was this?
"I haven't told you this because I'm afraid of retaliation, but it seems that the graduates have caused a lot of trouble to the natives as they wandered through the city to perform their duties. As a result, the natives blessed the unknown dormitory arsonist and increased their score."
"Oh, my God…"
I didn't even think about it. Even when getting help, the barbaric Fantasy natives only said 'Thank you!' and offered no real compensation. How could the natives of the Festival be so thorough in their consideration? I was so moved that my heart was pounding.
"Student Kang Han-soo."
The admissions counselor called to me with a victorious smile.
"What? Do you still have something to say?"
"Don't think too badly for secondary school students. First, it is possible to protect your family and travel to your home planet or allied planets for vacation. And the most important thing…."
I was apathetic toward his proposal. My family was treated like a hostage, and I'd rather just graduate than take a pitiful vacation.
"Listen for now. You can own one of the divided beings of the Fantasy Continent as a complete being. However, core entities including colleagues are excluded."
"Huh! What does that mean?"
"Sometimes, students fall in love with a beautiful innkeeper or a handsome wanderer."
"I don't have anything like that…"
The next word he said caught my mind.
"Don't you have a son born from the Sword Princess?"
"…He's gone."
"That's not true. We preserve the souls of beings born as variables for five hundred years just in case this happens. Don't get me wrong. There are a lot of students who want to become secondary school students to revive the relationship they thought has disappeared but are unable to do so."
I closed my eyes and thought. He was a child who was born when I played with fire. It was in case the Fantasy Continent was maintained even if I disappeared. For the unified North Continent not to be engulfed in war, an heir with my blood was necessary. I didn't regret making that decision at the time.
All that was left was my responsibility.
"…Okay, I'll take it with pleasure."
I decided to judge rationally, not emotionally. Of course, it was important to return as a citizen of the beautiful green planet Earth, which I have longed for over the decades, but it was even more important to save the child I thought was dead.
It wasn't because I was a hero. It was my duty to protect my family.
"Haha! Well-chosen. It is better to enter voluntarily than by force."
"But there are conditions."
"What? I will accept almost everything."
The admission counselor, who was in a good mood, answered boldly. So I spoke without hesitation.
"Make the Sword Princess that one's parent until I completely graduate from this damn school. I don't want to raise a child without a mother."
"Is it okay for a child to be without his father?"
"I can keep seeing him after graduation, after all."
"But, she is still a virgin…"
"On Earth, even virgins have children. So anyway, they give birth."
"Is that so…? Anyway…what a convenient theory. What would the Health Teacher say should she hear this story? However, this is a problem that we cannot easily deal with. The Sword Princess is an important person. Many students love her. But if we suddenly add this setting, the backlash will be severe. So, as a condition, give back the souls of the three fools you captured. Then I will take responsibility and push that setting."
"Well, that's good."
I took it with ease and gladly accepted.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
I released the souls of middle school students who claimed to be the boyfriends of the student council president. I would appoint them as my spirits and make them work hard until their souls were ripped apart, but thanks to my child, they survived.
"Thank you. I like this deal because it's neat."
The admission counselor smiled with satisfaction as he captured the three souls floating in the air.
"So, when do I go to the secondary education center?"
"Originally, you have to wait one more year for the Festival to end, but the student council president is like that, and the three students in the middle school leadership team were smashed, so the schedule has become a bit tight. If your grades accumulate a little, you will be promoted based on my recommendation. We will discuss it again then."
"Are you done talking?"
"That's ri-"
I threw my fist at the admission counselor.
Thud!
But it was blocked by his palm. So, I added some fine particles to it, but that was also blocked by something unknown.
"I will make you regret letting me in."
"I thought I had said it before? Violent students are always welcome. It's been roughly fifty-four years since you entered elementary school, right? The future is really scary. Please don't disappoint my expectations like you are now."
The admission counselor disappeared like a mist, and my consciousness was blown away.

I thought I would go to another world if I were going to the secondary education center. However, from the moment I saw Lanuvel's face as she was acting cute, my expectations plummeted to the bottom.
Do I need to repeat it…?
▷ We sincerely welcome students who have graduated from the elementary education curriculum with excellent grades to enter the secondary education curriculum. However, the existing abilities are not enough to enter the secondary education curriculum. Therefore, enter the Transcendence Realm while solving the review tasks below. Good luck!
Was it Elise? Or the student council president? I vaguely remembered hearing something about this. Even graduating from the elementary education curriculum didn't mean entering the secondary education curriculum right away. It seemed that I must raise the lacking abilities here.
▷ The entrance examination begins.
▷ The disaster of the Eastern Continent: Subjugation of Cursed King Malfart (0/1)
▷ The disaster of the North Continent: Subjugation of Frost Queen Elsh (0/1)
▷ The disaster of the Southern Continent: Subjugation of the Flame King Phoenix (0/1)
▷ The disaster of the Western Continent: Subjugation of the Wraith King Shakespeare (0/1)
▷ The disaster of the Central Continent: Subjugation of the Dragon King Noebius (0/1)
It was very simple. It was about defeating all the Five Major Disasters living separately on the five continents of the Fantasy Dimension. However…
"Lanuvel?"
"Yes! I'm Lanuvel! Huh?! By the way, hero, how did you know Lanuvel's name?!"
I didn't ask because I forgot this bitch's face or name. It was because of her abilities.
