[The 'Birth Festival' held by Siyoram in its 121st year draws attention from all over the world]
The Birth Festival, a festival hosted annually by Siyoram.
Although the festival tends to have a short cycle, this does not lessen the level of interest.

└ (Author) Are you a criminal?
└ Criminals caught in the gray zone.
It was only natural that discussions about Siyoram and the Birth Festival flooded the community.
So much so that even posts about getting admission to Siyoram started gathering hundreds of comments early in the morning.
[Siyoram Admission]
[Got a signature from a superhuman on patrol, what’s up with that?]
[Got recommended a good restaurant]
[There are too many people in Getter]
[I hate the guys who are already inside broadcasting live]
By the time Siyoram officially began, the posts had flooded even more.
Although Siyoram granted admission to a substantial number of people, the process was still quite selective, and if you look at it from a global perspective, it wasn't as many as it seemed.
[Campus drone is broadcasting now]
Thanks to that, the majority had to watch the Birth Festival through the broadcast from drones, feeling envy and jealousy after getting admission.
[Siyoram View from the broadcast]
[Two hours before the opening ceremony, students marching in line]
[Watching the Birth Festival in the living room with family early in the morning... what’s up with that?]
Viewers leisurely watched the broadcasted footage.
It was still before the opening ceremony. Instead of enjoying the main attractions, they were simply casually watching the broadcasted images.
That was it.
In the 32nd broadcast drone shot, a grand mansion appeared, which initially seemed like just a background shot.
But then, people started coming out of the mansion, which wasn’t expected.
And then...
[... ]
The face of Iha-yul, who hadn’t been seen for a while, unexpectedly appeared on the camera.
[?]
[Wow]
[Wow]
[Wow]
The 32nd broadcast room stuttered for a moment.
[Who was that just now?]
[People who watched the 32nd broadcast, who was that?]
[Who is that, quick, give me their name, please]
[Why is everyone freaking out all of a sudden?]
[Wow]
[I feel dizzy]
The community exploded.
Viewers who were out of sync in the 32nd broadcast room were left in a fiery stir, while others in different rooms were confused and eagerly awaiting more information.
[Why is everyone freaking out suddenly?] [41]
What’s going on, did a fight break out between superhumans??? The internet speed, though...
[Comments]
└ (Author) What is this, why is everyone acting like this?
└ Hahaha

Wow.

The hot topic was about the special admission student.
Although everyone was temporarily holding back, it was only a matter of time before it exploded.
Usually, attention focuses on the students during the Birth Festival, but this year, it was only natural for the special admission students to draw more attention.
The topic that was likely to erupt during the opening ceremony was quickly ignited by the drone, which had already been focusing on Iha-yul.
[Comparison of that person’s change] [3,261]
(Iha-yul entering the 1st semester tournament arena - photo)
(Iha-yul coming out of the mansion with an awkward face - photo)
His hair color changed, yeah. And his eyes are open.
More than anything, his appearance had undergone a major transformation.
[Comments]
└Looks like a molting process. └That’s cute, hahaha.
└What happened to him?
└He must’ve evolved two or three times. └He must have filled up his experience points if he just took down a double-headed dragon by himself.
Naturally, the main topic of discussion turned to the special admission student.
The reason it flared up even more intensely than expected was that Iha-yul’s appearance had undergone a change beyond imagination.
Iha-yul had previously received praise for his appearance.
But now, the Iha-yul who revealed himself was something else entirely.
[Breaking news) Special admission student moving toward the opening ceremony]
[But why are so many people coming out of the mansion?]
[All women;; Hahaha]
[Fire of Fear, successor of the Changha clan appearing together]
[Wow]
Iha-yul's explosive topic blazed through the community, completely consuming all smaller ones.

└ It looks warm, though? └ For real, you can tell he’s happy by looking at his face.
└ Is that Fire of Fear? It looks totally different.
└ Iha-yul’s Fire of Fear is famous for being unique, yeah.
[Two people suddenly chasing each other in the street...] [1,261]

The topic about Iha-yul was relentless, and even after the opening ceremony began, the discussions were still centered around him.

Instead, the necklace outputs his voice, yeah.
[Comments]
└ He kept his eyes open when looking at the other person too. The tall woman with yellow hair who just came with him.
└ What?
[The Opening Ceremony’s Magical Beam Highlights]

Wow, the mana is insane.
[Comments]
└ It looks kind of sensual...
└ It’s a level of intimidation, damn.
└ Yeah, it won’t stop.
└ How much mana is that?
└ At least hundreds of times more than other students, yeah.
└ That’s crazy, hahaha.
Even after the opening ceremony ended, the topic kept burning.
Although the pace slowed after the official event started, the footage from the drones was so shocking that the fire didn’t die down easily, like Fire of Fear.
└ He probably put on an identification disturbance due to the attention, yeah.
└ That’s a shame.
└ With that appearance, it would be natural to be overwhelmed by attention.
But eventually, a fire without fuel will burn out.
On the 1st and 2nd days, many viewers moved to different broadcast rooms, but Iha-yul’s figure could not be found.
As the fuel ran out, the intensity began to wane naturally.
Even though there was still considerable firepower left, the momentum had reduced compared to the opening ceremony.
[Breaking news) Ten minutes before the Tower of Growth broadcast begins]
New fuel was added on the third day of the schedule—the Tower of Growth.
The absolute symbol of Siyoram, the Tower of Growth. To be able to watch the students compete in that place—where else could there be such a spectacle?
In fact, the highest viewership ratings were also recorded on the third day during the Tower of Growth event.
Moreover, the still-popular topic of Iha-yul’s actions and performance also became a major point of interest.

└ Isn’t that a defensive facility, not a workshop?
└ Correct.
└ ???
└ No, they go inside and install it immediately.
└ ???
The Tower of Growth event began with its broadcast.
Unlike the previous talks about appearance, after the Tower of Growth event began, the focus shifted to Iha-yul’s strength.
It was thanks to the strength show Iha-yul deliberately displayed.

[Comments]
└ Yeah, exactly.
It was already well-known that Iha-yul’s strength was legendary. Once he defeated the two-headed dragon spirit, it was clear for everyone to see.
Thanks to that, the expectations about Iha-yul’s power were high, but what was revealed was far beyond anyone’s imagination.
[Wasn't the special admission student really strong in martial arts?]
[Counting the number of spirits, golems, and elementals]
[All those spirits are mid-ranking spirits, right?]
[??? How are the golems moving without cores?]
[Golems are multiplying infinitely, hahaha.]
[? A student just got kidnapped.]
It wasn’t just about his known abilities, but the terrifying military tactics in which he swept through the battlefield alone—this left everyone in shock.
While superhumans are rare, superhumans with the ability to carry out wars by themselves are even rarer.

There were so many spectacles during the Tower of Growth event. With students’ light beams exploding in their fierce battles, it’s natural for numerous iconic scenes to occur.
But this Tower of Growth event was different.
The constant sequence of dopamine-pumping scenes pushed the already high viewership to new heights.

└ It might be a monster disguised as a human.
└ Or perhaps a mage that the principal once saw.
└ Oh.
└ Each attack would wipe out a city block, damn hahaha.
└ But the special admission student just took him down, damn!
└ This is unbelievable.
After the official match ended, the community flames grew even hotter when they saw Iha-yul’s final battle with the boss.
[Tower of Growth Master < There’s a reason he’s the Tower Master]
Did he find this before the event and place a full bet on it? That kind of behavior would be impossible without certainty.
He was obviously confident in his breakthrough and surge in power.

[These guys can’t focus.] [1,523]
Now they’re still saying Iha-yul is a first-year student, but what’s really important here is:
It’s not that he’s a ‘first-year.’ He’s been awakened for ‘one year.’
While others have spent years preparing, Iha-yul spent his time as a baby, sleeping and eating formula.
Then, starting from year one, he began to run.
And now, when everyone else is finally catching up, Iha-yul is not just ahead—he has left them far behind.
[Why has the special admission position been vacant for 100 years?]
Iha-yul’s potential is the only reason they gave him the position.
And it’s the first time in 120 years since Siyoram was created that such potential has appeared.
[Comments]
└ His awakening was so slow, if he awakened earlier, he would’ve been unstoppable.
└ I heard a rumor that his potential was so high that his awakening was delayed.
[After the third day of events, the topic about Iha-yul continued to burn bright.]
On the morning of the fourth day, after all the buzz and chatter, the next schedule for Iha-yul was revealed.
