Become a Black Screen in a Novel - Chapter 5
The temperature was warm with the spring just around the corner, but there was a chilly vibe in the corner of the wind that brushed my skin.
Under the clear blue sky without a single cloud, the perfectly controlled environment of the academy faithfully reproduces the sense of the seasons.
The theme sky has only two appearances.
Whether it’s sunny and refreshing broad day 365 days a year, or the starry sky that seems to swallow up anyone looking up.
This is because the theme is an artificial island floating in the Pacific Ocean, located higher than the clouds in the sky beyond the ground.
Although the passage is restricted for safety reasons, it is said that you can actually appreciate the sea of clouds that surrounds it from the border line.
In the square, reminiscent of the Parthenon in Greece, in the midst of majestic rows of columns wrapped in green vines, petals of all natural colors fluttered.
A landscape revealing the harmony between civilization and nature, soaking the lungs with a burst of fresh scent.
The faces of the youth, shining under the soft veils of sunlight, were recalled with vitality and anticipation, and thousands of spectators surrounding them also watched with excitement.
But I always preferred cloudy and cool weather.
I don’t hate midday when everything in the world is bright and vivid, but it felt good on a day that was covered in clouds and dyed with a lazy gray color.
Rather than a fluttering scene, a calmly subdued scene always captured my heart.
Have you ever felt the texture of being heavy, damp, soft, and rich in wind? That moment was good weather for me.
Even to me like that, this moment was the perfect moment.
A spring day when hope and joy for the future and the vitality of young leaves of grass explode. The word of mouth of the theme that comes once a year blooms splendidly.
The prologue part of “How to Survive Superman School” was beginning.
***
It’s a new thing, but the “Super Massacre” that I call the original has an original again.
No, it is the setting that there is, to be precise.
The title is “History’s Strongest Incompetent Person”, abbreviated as “Sachoemu”.
The famous author Myung-jin is the copyright holder of this 『Sachoemu』, and one day, when he asked the reader, “If that’s the case, would you try it?” Go into that world.
And really, he begins to progress the story while struggling to get caught up in the ‘reader’ who really started to write “Sachoemu” instead of him.
This is the plot of the novel I read, How to Survive a Superman School.
In short, it means that I have entered into a novel that enters into a novel.
If things seem messy, you’re not mistaken.
From now on, for convenience, let’s call “Super Massacre” the original work, and “Sachoemu” the work in the works.
After all, from my point of view, the latter is a work that exists only as a setting.
As I glanced around with a squinting glance, I heard a loud, muffled voice in my ear.
At times, they whisper quietly to each other, but when they gather like this, the ears sting like a swarm of bees.
At first glance, they may look like ordinary youngsters, but don’t underestimate their young faces.
To the extent that each of them is the seed of a superman and a star that will shine in the future.
Somewhere in this, there are two main characters.
Main character. In the dictionary meaning, it refers to a person who is the center of an event in a play, film, novel, etc.
Most of the works have one main character, but there are rare works with multiple main characters.
However, in 「Super Massacre」, the meaning was a little different.
This is because the character who is called the main character outside the work and the character who is called the main character inside the work are separate.
Myung-jin, the main character of the original work, and Chan-sol Kim, the main character of the work, respectively.
I declare it here. Chansol Kim doesn’t have to worry about it.
Because words are the main characters, and in the original original, he is just one of the main characters.
Clearly, Chansol Kim’s growth rate is amazing.
From the point of view of the famous group trying to defeat the demon king by gathering and nurturing colleagues, the original protagonist is the most essential member, and in each episode, he plays the main villain instead of the famous person. Because it plays a decisive role in battles such as defeating them.
But right there.
In the end, Kim Chan-sol’s role is assistant A.
All of his performances in the film were made with the help of famous people, and there was no special influence on the main story.
Reviving the dead, revealing the hidden villain, finding essential treasures, and human interaction with various characters. It is only famous people who perform and solve these problems.
This is, so to speak, a matter of strategy and tactics.
Myung-jin knows a lot of information about this world, including the future, and uses that to prepare for upcoming events. This is the strategist’s point of view.
However, although Chan-sol Kim has the talent recognized under the name of the main character, that’s all.
All the incidents he has to uncover as he falls and collides are trapped within the framework of the original knowledge of Myung-Jin.
It is a character who can defeat the threat in front of him but does not have the driving force to fundamentally change the future. This is a type of tactic.
Strategy is a holistic methodology for achieving goals. And tactics are the means to put it into practice. Strategy is a general, tactics is a soldier.
To put it bluntly, in my view, Chansol Kim is only one of the weapons wielded by Myung-Jin.
The part I need to pay attention to is somewhere else, not just a fancy ‘protagonist’.
Yes, for example… the character you see in front of you right now.
━······ Now there will be an oath of representative cadets. The male representative of incoming cadets, Moo-rin Cheon. The female representative, Shin Haram. Please come forward.
The whispering voices around him grow louder.
“She’s up, Shin Haram. She’s also number one.”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen it in real life. Is it her? Heavenly god? Next to her is the son of Dragon Kwon.”
“They said the machine exploded when they measured the CP.”
“He’s really handsome, and she’s pretty.”
“Gill. What does it have to do with how it looks, it’s not like you’re going to catch a monster with your face.”
“There are children to catch.”
“Ah, Baek Hwa-yeon is acceptable.”
Murmur murmur. Noisily. A pair of men and women emerge from the whirlpool of envy and jealousy, curiosity and lust.
All eyes in the hall were focused on one place with scorching heat, and a huge screen lit up on the podium.
“Hmmm…”
I wiped my chin as I watched it with my elbows bent.
The girl was shockingly beautiful. A face that yawned lightly with her small mouth covered, and her eyes half-closed with drowsiness as if everything was bothering her.
She looked calm and unhurried, with no tension to be found, but on the other hand, her dark blue eyes like a morpho butterfly were terribly clear.
It was a contrasting look with a long scabbard hanging from one side of the dark cloud-like hair hanging down to the waist.
The heir to the famous swordsmanship family that has been handed down for thousands of years, the master of longan, and the future swordsman. Shin Haram, the main heroine of the work and the original.
The boy was extremely attractive. Gorgeous blonde hair shattered in the sunlight, and a confident smile revealed his pure white teeth and naturally attracts attention.
The tall stature and slender physique made him look handsome even with a pretense of appearance, and the gait striding with an upright posture boasted unusual dignity and confidence.
He didn’t have any special weapons, but everyone in the audience knew about it. It is said that such four limbs are unnecessary for the implementer who creates thousands of shapes with magical powers.
The son of the hero who saved the world, the genius of mana management, and the ascendant of the future. My rival, Cheon Murin.
Here, an incompetent person who cannot use magical powers, the protagonist of the work, Kim Chan-sol.
These three boys and girls are the most important characters in 「The Most Incompetent Person in History」.
– Oath. Our cadets…
– Oath. Our cadets…
Of course, that’s the story of “Choi Mu” to the end. As the other person says, the situation is different in “Super Massacre”.
It wouldn’t matter if Cheon Murin was put aside. Same with Chansol Kim, no. Less than that
In the end, it seems that he becomes strong enough to face the Demon Archduke, who is in the position of the Four Heavenly Kings, alone, but in the end, it’s like a chess piece that doesn’t affect the big picture of the game.
If there’s a problem, it’s on the other side.
– We take responsibility for our own strength…
– We take responsibility for our own strength…
He shifts his gaze and examines the young and delicate girl’s face. The long eyelashes were incredibly delicate…
It’s a sweet and bubbly voice, but it’s soft. A transparent, unshakable expression that makes it impossible to guess what’s inside.
As expected, it is difficult to recognize the characters in the work only from the original illustrations.
Is it normal? Even if an anime-style picture came out in real life, distinguishing the features is another matter. Unless you catch it, even if it is characterized by hair, clothes, etc.
However, what is clear is the fact that Haram Shin in the picture is so unrealistically beautiful.
Until now, countless boys have burned their heartfelt love for this beautiful girl and will continue to do so in the future.
I really liked the dreamy charm she showed in the original. Shin Haram was the heroine I liked the most in 「Super Massacre」.
To be honest, I think it’s a situation that can make anyone’s heart pound. Isn’t it?
She is a character in the novel. In other words, it is an existence that embodies an ideal that is unlikely to exist in reality.
Step into your favorite work and have a conversation with your favorite character. And I think the idea of going one step further is something that fans of a work can often think of.
But… now there is no trace of lust in me. Even though she is someone who deserves to be savored in front of me, I can only feel as if I am appreciating the works of art in the museum.
It is at this point that I now even feel a sense of joy for an unknown reason.
ㅡ······ I swear to dedicate myself purely and reverently.
ㅡ······ I swear to dedicate myself purely and reverently.
When I met Shin Haram close-up on the screen, I could see countless particles twinkling and swirling in my eyes under the influence of magical power.
The pupil was strangely ripped vertically like a reptile. A characteristic that Shin Haram expressed, the temperament of 『Longan (A)』.
It is not just a misunderstanding to think that the fresh eye light is somehow eerie.
Convinced again.
After all, in a sense, she might be my natural enemy more than a celebrity.
***
━······· With this, the entrance ceremony for the 42nd Theme Academy ends.
A shrill voice rang out at once.
After the school’s tedious congratulatory speech, the cadets were divided into three main groups.
A group of people who want to see the inside of the campus in advance, a group of people who want to go to the city where various facilities are located, and a group of people who want to go back to their dorms.
Classes officially start 3 days later. Until then, the purpose is to complete various preparations while adapting to the environment of the theme.
Well, actually, it is a period in which students can fully enjoy the joy of passing.
Me? I was neither. I just finished getting ready to go out.
Let’s be clear. Except for Haram Shin, who I can’t touch now, the variable that worries me the most in my scenario is Myung-Jin. Honestly, it’s annoying.
Of all the characters, only he has the potential to hinder me to the very end.
***
[Participants receive the benefits of the CP system, just like the main character famous in the original work]
***
We are on equal footing with each other. Knowing the future is the same as using the resource called CP.
I know a little bit more now, but the future will change again and again depending on each individual’s actions, and my advantage will sooner or later become useless.
In this situation, the first to hit wins. If you stray from the starting point, you can deviate from the arrival point.
Today, I plan to put a dog leash on the protagonist of the original story.
