I Became a Flashing Genius at the Magic Academy [158-362][English Translation]

Episode 324 Chapter 58: Ego(1)

자아/ Ego(1)

(TL: The term "자아" translates to "self" or "ego" in English. It often refers to one's own identity or consciousness. In context, especially in stories or dialogues, it can imply a representation of a person's inner self or alternate version)

The familiar login screen appeared on the monitor.

Without realizing it, Baek Yu Seul entered his old ID and password, then felt a bit silly. Since he didn't play this game back when he used to visit PC cafes, he didn't have an ID.

However, unexpectedly, he managed to log in, and the screen changed immediately. With a pounding heart, Baek Yu Seul looked forward to the next screen.

The game's first screen always starts in the 'Stella Academy Dormitory.'

The characters the player raised were lying on the beds in the dormitory.

Since S-class students used the dormitory alone, there were many complaints about it being a setting error, but there was no better background to suit the character selection screen, so it hadn't changed for over ten years.

"...There it is."

Right in the center of the dormitory.

A bed, the only one.

Sitting there was 'Character Baek Yu Seul,' looking at him. A young man, clad entirely in starlight armor, had placed his longsword beside the bed, quite unlike the academy genre.

You'd think he would have graduated from the academy by this point in the story progression, but he wasn't bothered by it because it wasn't immediately important.

When he double-clicked on 'Character Baek Yu Seul' with the mouse, a message saying [Enter the second password] appeared.

And then he was flustered.

Having not logged in for so long, he couldn't remember. In haste, he tried entering his social security number, but a message appeared saying it was wrong, along with a warning, [If you enter it incorrectly 2 more times, you will be automatically logged out.]

'...Damn it...'

After thinking for a while, he suddenly remembered his mother's social security number and entered it.

Finally, the character logged in safely.

After sending a sudden thank-you to his mother, he waited briefly, and then the back view of Character Baek Yu Seul, standing still in the corridor of Stella Academy, appeared... and many alarm pages popped up above him.

Most were community alarms and event alarms, so he checked 'Do not show today' and closed them all.

"...No, wait."

What was the reason for logging into the game in the first place? It was to find a way for his real self to survive.

'As expected, I should check out the community...'

He clicked several times to get used to it and headed to the free bulletin board, logging in with his security account and noticing thousands of piled-up alarms.

"What is this...?"

Those alarms came when comments were left on his posts or he received more than ten recommendations... but...
