High School Seniors Transferred To Another World
Chapter 27.2

At this time, the professor’s opponent- Nicholas- opened his mouth to speak.

“I understand that the influence of the attribute on the physical side is absolute. However, the will is different.”

Although Nicholas was humiliated 3 times in front of many students, he remained steadfast without showing any signs of being intimidated.

“The higher the grade, the more talented the Awakener is, but it doesn’t mean that they have the persistence that others have. Innate talents are meaningful only when they are developed. Therefore, I think studious efforts are much more important.”

The effort made had a greater impact than attributes and talent according to him.

The sight of Park Min-ho nodding his head was caught in my field of view.

Nicholas moved his gaze from the professor to me and declared in a firm tone—

“Ji-Hoo Jeong definitely has a greater talent than me. But I won’t be discouraged and give up before I surpass him.”

I did not avoid the eyes that seemed to slice through my skin.

The professor then murmured with a dissatisfied expression—

“...Then prove it in the future.”

We went back to our respective seats, and when it was time to finish, the professor ended the class.

In our second class at the academy, something eventful happened.

Today’s incident was, in a way, an insult to one of the royal family- Nicholas.

His attributes had been repeatedly denounced in front of so many people, so he would not be in a good mood.

However, in my view, Nicholas was not the type to wield his power recklessly.

He resembled Park Min-ho.

I didn’t think there was any possibility of him having bad blood against me for just following the professor’s instructions.

Likewise, the professors would not be on his hit list either.

If that was the case, I wondered if he would try to change the professor’s values by personally proving his point rather than harming them.

But in case that wasn’t the case, I would have to tell Soniel.

‘Please pay special attention to the professor of ‘Elementary attribute studies 1’ and protect him.’

It was because it was to my advantage for an attribute supremacist to be at the academy.

***

On Tuesday, in the Professor’s office…

“Student! For my experiments wi... *Kuhum khum!* Would you be willing to become a research assistant at my laboratory?”

“·······.”

On the first week of ‘Mana Management 1’, at a morning class on Tuesday, something unusual happened.

There were one-on-one interviews between the professors and students.

This week, instead of taking classes, students talked alone with the professor for a short time at set times on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

They would check each person’s magical power and mana manipulation ability, and work out the goals students would want to achieve through each lecture.

Based on this, the curriculum and difficulty of the subject would be adjusted.

I could feel a degree of care for the students.

Knights used mana to strengthen their bodies or weapons, and wizards used magic.

Therefore, mana management was a skill that would be necessary regardless of the career path.

The class where we would learn various magics properly would be in the next semester.

Honestly, I don’t even need to take this course.

It was because I had already mastered all the basics through my previous studies in the imperial palace and my own talents.

Since ‘Mana Management 1’ was a theory class, it was regrettable that exemption was not possible based on the academy’s regulations.

Realizing this situation and the fact that I could already handle elemental magic even though I was just a freshman, the professor gave me an interesting proposal.

“Research assistant...? I’m just a freshman who joined last week, so I don’t know anything about attributes or magic theory.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Everything is an experience. You’re aspiring to be a wizard, right? A wizard’s life is a series of experiments and studies! This is a valuable opportunity!”

“I don’t have the capability to understand advanced theories...”

“Eh, don’t worry! All the other teaching assistants will teach you politely and quickly. So, as long as you are physically fit…”

*heuheum!*

“·······.”

This was supposed to be an award-winning professor.

The professor’s bright eyes were a little troublesome to look at.

I was not happy at all to be receiving the excessive attention from M-shaped hair loss professor.

His workaholic thoughts could be guessed at.

It was probably because of my [Heaven] Attribute.

If they lost Hyerin or me, the opportunity to research mythical attribute magic would never come again.

He would definitely give the same proposal to Hye-rin.

I stared at him with a mischievous look.

The professor couldn’t stand my gaze and eventually confessed his true intentions.

“...Actually, I want to study the attributes of this year’s students haha. But rest assured! There will be absolutely no compulsion from us towards you students. Students will have the complete right to refuse these experiments.

We are studying magic here! Studying through experimenting! I’m going to share the results with you, and yes, you will have access to the data too! You can come to work only when you want to!”

He listed the benefits I would receive from participating in the experiment, tore up a notebook, wrote something down, and showed it to me.

“·······.”

A fairly large amount was written on it.

“I’m thinking about this as the activity cost per experiment.”

His words made me harden my heart.

The participation benefits were very attractive. Anyway, if a problem arose later, Soniel would intervene and prevent or solve it.

In fact, in this regard, there was something that Amer had told me and the other Rare-Attribute Awakened.

“Aren’t you going to be in the academy soon?

If you have time in the future, could you participate in academy research for the advancement of the Empire’s academics? Of course, this is not an order, but a request! The imperial family will take responsibility for any problems that come up during these!”

“Could you give me some time to think about it?”

“Sure! You can have as much time as you need! Contact me whenever it’s convenient for you. You can come even after the first semester is over.”

It wouldn’t take that long for me to decide to join.

***

The interview was over.

I felt exhausted because I could imagine myself receiving his passionate gazes all over my body.

I ate lunch alone in the cafeteria and headed to my afternoon class.

The lecture I was going to attend now was ‘Sex Education’.

It was the subject I had been looking forward to.

I wondered if the class content would be very interesting.

Ji-Hye and Hye-rin also attended this lecture.

Hye-rin was ashamed of being a student in this class that Ji-hye found on the list, so I made her take it in exchange for winning the duel with Kyle.

Her reaction was as expected.

We arrived at a small room located in the corner of a hidden building. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ n0vᴇl(ꜰ)ire.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

This room contrasted the huge classrooms of the essential subjects.

Jihye and Hyerin hadn’t come to the classroom yet.

I spotted a familiar person and stopped in my tracks.

I never would have expected her to take this class, but upon reflection, it suited her well.

Dark robes covered her whole body, and her pink hair protruded.

“Hi?”

The moment I realized she was Amer, I sat down beside her without hesitation.

“Ah, um, hello...?”

I grinned as I observed Amer’s pupils tremble from embarrassment.
