[Sharpener]

You will become more adept at sniping things. However, this does not increase your field of view or improve your eyesight, so keep that in mind.

What the hell happened?

I immediately checked what was in front of me. It seemed that it was a prologue before Yusera returned. So it seemed natural that he didn’t give me anything. So as soon as the prologue ended, he gave me a skill that suited me, and it seems to be ‘Shooter’.

Well, it’s just amazing.

‘Still, it seems like he has some degree of conscience.’

And give gifts like this too.

‘But what else?’

Is this the end?

Is there anything like King Taechang, or something that lets you see other people’s abilities or information? Is there anything else that’s a little more special? Something that’s only given to those possessed?

Really, there isn’t any?

“ Then it is the same without conscience.

You should give them other things too, why are you acting like you don’t give them to them? Even with those things, it’s still hard! This is really fucking annoying.

I felt like I was losing my energy for a moment as I was about to let out all my anger. I ended up hanging my head for a moment.

“Oh my, what’s my fate?”

It still wasn’t a good situation, but who cares anyway? I thought I could proceed with the plan I had in mind without any problems, so there was no problem. On the other hand, if I were to think optimistically, I would have gained a new ability and could lead to a better situation. At least that’s what I believed.

After naturally finishing my thoughts, I followed Yusera with the mindset that it was just the beginning. Since it was so obvious where she would go, I was able to smile and walk leisurely.

I was able to walk slowly through the hallway and reach the classroom where Seo Jae-hyeok was. Naturally, I could see Yoo Seo-ra, who had returned, clinging tightly to Seo Jae-hyeok at the front of the classroom.

“What the heck is going on!?”

Naturally, Seo Jae-hyuk was flustered and unable to accept the current situation, just like in the original, with a red face. He continued to look around, kicking his feet.

Yuseo kept smiling at him as if she was looking at something cute.

“Ah, right. Jaehyuk doesn’t know yet. Let’s go somewhere else since we can’t talk about it here!”

“Huh, huh? Huh?!”

He still couldn’t hide his embarrassment. Naturally, the people around him were also quite noisy, as they didn’t know what was going on. Yoo Seora and Seo Jaehyuk were trying to go out through the hallway. But I was blocking their way. Having seen the original, I knew that the two were trying to go to the forest behind the dormitory.

I think we need to have a conversation, even if it’s just for a little while.

“Seo, Seo Jin-ah!”

In the current situation where he didn’t know anything, Seo Jae-hyeok made an expression as if he was relieved just by seeing someone he knew. However, unlike him, someone named Yoo Seo was showing his displeasure at having blocked his path. He was glaring at me with a fierce expression that I had never seen before. My spine was creepy, but I showed my composure by showing a bitter smile.

One step, after the regression, Yoo Seora approached. In that split second, fear came rushing in strongly. Despite the guy’s appearance, I looked at Seo Jaehyuk as much as I could without paying attention.

“Jaehyeok, hello?”

Seo Jae-hyeok’s expression seemed to have improved a little bit because of my presence. I could see him opening his mouth to accept my greeting, but Yoo Se-ra stopped him.

“What are you?”

The country called Yuseo had an expression on its face as if it was seeing a person for the first time.

It seemed like my memory was confused and I didn’t even know who I was. I opened my mouth because I thought that if I just stayed still, all my efforts up until now would be meaningless.

“You suddenly ran and followed me.”

But, unlike when we met before, my tone of voice was filled with a sense of caution that I could feel myself.

The atmosphere around him was deeply depressed. He was so expressionless. It was the first time I saw him like that. If he had just gotten his thoughts in order, he would have reacted properly.

“What does that mean?”

“What, no, why are you suddenly acting like you don’t know me?”

At those words, Yu Seo looked at me with a dark expression on his face, then seemed to realize something.

“Oh, no. Wait. Before the regression, definitely.”

This will make her care about me. This is what I’m aiming for when we become close.

‘I’m sure I was alone before the first time.’

But why was I hanging out with this guy just a while ago? Did I remember it wrong? Such thoughts will keep lingering in my head. I smiled slightly, showing more composure. Perhaps my face was uncomfortable, but he frowned and stared at me intently.

“First, get out of the way. I have something to talk to Jaehyuk about right now.”

I can’t step forward anymore. That look in his eyes seemed to indicate that he was going to do something to me without caring about his surroundings. He wouldn’t kill me, but it would be right to at least avoid it for the sake of the future. I had no choice but to step aside.

“Okay, I understand.”

“Hey, wait a minute! Seo Jin-ah! Do you know what’s happening right now?!”

Seo Jae-hyuk kept calling me. I smiled as gently as I could and answered him.

“No. Actually, I don’t know either.”

“Well, then?”

“But I felt like he was going to kill me if I didn’t get out of the way.”

At those words, Seo Jae-hyeok looked at me with an expression that seemed to indicate that he didn’t know what to say. It seemed like he was going to say something more, but Yoo Seo-ra didn’t wait and dragged him away.

The ominous atmosphere and murderous spirit that had been in the air until just a moment ago disappeared in an instant. At the same time, the tension that had been there disappeared, and I collapsed. Cold sweat dripped down my skin, and I wiped it away as I stared into space.

The vision was blurred for a moment.

“Hoo.”

I took a deep breath. If I tried to follow them now, I would definitely get caught. All I could do was wait for Yoo Seora to come later.

‘I hope what I do leads to a good situation.’

That’s what I prayed for.

*

Seo Jae-hyeok had no choice but to follow Yoo Seo-ra in confusion. He couldn’t defeat her with force, and more than anything, he had no choice but to be dragged along without saying a word in order to understand the current situation that he couldn’t understand. She clearly told him to say something. He would know something. He slowly entered the forest behind the dormitory.

“Is this good enough?”

Yoo Seo-ra, who muttered softly, immediately let go of Seo Jae-hyeok’s hand. Her hand hurt because she had held it quite tightly. However, Seo Jae-hyeok stared at Yoo Seo-ra, who had forgotten the pain. Yoo Seo-ra also stared at him.

Then suddenly he laughed.

“Hi Jaehyuk! Is this your first time talking to me in real life?”

“Uh, yeah…….”

I’ve met her before, but this is the first time we’ve talked. I’ve always wanted to know about her, but in the end, I found out about her on my own.

“But how do you think I know about you?”

Up to this point, it was the original scene that Kim Seo-jin knew. And the original answer was ‘I don’t know’, but there was a minor change.

“Seo, did Seojin tell you? Haha.”

“…….”

The gaze was sharp somewhere. For some reason, it felt painful as it pricked my skin. I could tell what it meant. Seo Jae-hyuk realized that it was wrong.

“First of all, you’re wrong.”

Just hearing the name of Kim Seo-jin, Yoo Seo, make him feel uncomfortable, his expression hardens and he speaks in a low voice. Seo Jae-hyeok, overwhelmed by the atmosphere, tightly shuts his eyes.

The pounding of my heart was jarring and made me even more scared.

‘Seo Jin-ah! Help me.’

He kept calling out to the people he knew. He was calling out to his closest friend in his head. I feel like I’m going to die right now!

No matter how much he liked Yoo Seo-ra, the atmosphere right now was too heavy.

“Okay, okay. I’ll answer for you.”

Yu Seo quickly changed his expression and opened his mouth in a bright voice.

“That’s right, I regressed!”

“Huh?”

“And before we returned, we were married!”

Seo Jae-hyuk made an idiotic expression as if he was dumbfounded. Return? And marriage? What does that mean? His mind was spinning.

“You don’t believe it?”

“Of course! Regression…….”

“I thought you wouldn’t believe me, so I’ll tell you my secret. Will you believe me?”

Your secret? He tilted his head at the sound. He smiled briefly and said that he had forgotten about the situation with Kim Seo-jin.

“You’ve liked me for a long time, right?”

“Huh?”

It was a secret that no one would have known. And if it had been the original, Seo Jae-hyuk would have no choice but to believe it to some extent. It might seem like a lie, but he knew who he was and who he liked, and more than anything, he couldn’t believe the current situation.

This was enough to convince him. Of course, the most important reason he was able to convince him was his optimistic personality.

“Ho, by any chance. Did Seojin tell you that?”

But once again, things got tangled up because of Kim Seo-jin. Yoo Seo-ra made a fierce expression once again and approached Seo Jae-hyeok.

“Ugh!”

In an instant, Seo Jae-hyuk let out a groan.

Seo Jae-hyeok, who was scared by the atmosphere, closed his eyes tightly once again. He stood as long as he could, overcoming the feeling that he would collapse to the floor at any moment.

Yu Seo-ra didn’t say anything. But an intense anger he had never felt before filled his whole body.

‘Another kid named Kim Seo-jin.’

Although I had just regressed and my memories were a bit confused, I knew him well enough. He was someone I had become close to in just one day. If the memories of the future hadn’t come in during that situation, he was someone I felt a certain familiarity with, to the point where I could have even become his best friend.

But now, he was ruining his own plan. At first, he was blocking his way, and now he was preventing him from persuading Seo Jae-hyuk.

‘Above all.’

The world before the regression. She was even more annoyed because she had never seen him in her memories. She was suspicious because she was sure he was hiding something. He had an expression on his face that looked like he was going to kill her at any moment.

“Ah, okay.”

Anyway, there are many other ways to persuade others besides this. If only this method had been used, I would have felt better. Nothing more, nothing less.

“Or, you…….”

I persuaded him with a brief, short story about the past that only Seo Jae-hyuk knew.

“Then you. Really.”

“That’s right. I really did regress!”

Yuseo said with a cute, bright expression again.

“Well, then. The person who said that.”

“Yeah! That’s right, Jaehyuk, you said it!”

Seo Jae-hyuk lowered his head as if he couldn’t believe it. Yoo Seo-ra, who had been staring at him as if he found his appearance cute, frowned again at Seo Jae-hyuk’s words.

“You said you regressed… Did you tell Seojin too?”

Kim Seo-jin.

Keep going Seojin, Seojin, Seojin, Seojin!

It’s annoying.

Annoying, annoying, annoying, annoying! I should go kill him right now. With that thought in mind, the moment he was about to run, Yoo Seo asked Seo Jae-hyuk.

“Why is that?”

“No, you two are close.”

We’re close. We were certainly like that until just a moment ago. But not anymore. Beyond being unfriendly, you could even call us enemies.

Now he is the object of hatred.

“Not really, I just need you, Jaehyuk?”

“Huh, huh? Why? ”

“That’s because I really like Jaehyuk!”

Seo Jae-hyeok’s face turned red at those words. And when he saw that, Yoo Seo-ra’s heart also seemed to relax. For now, she had to show Jae-hyeok the best possible side of herself, so she couldn’t openly kill Kim Seo-jin.

“But, then you didn’t tell Seojin? Then why?”

Kim Seo-jin again.

“Oh, he doesn’t really care.”

“Well, why don’t you tell me? We’re friends.”

Friends? I don’t have any friends.

I am completely satisfied as long as I have you.

“I only need you, Jaehyuk. That’s the same before and after the regression.”

Seeing Seo Jae-hyeok acting embarrassed at those words, Yoo Seo-ra felt a little comforted.

‘Well, should I go kill him now?’

There was not a moment of hesitation on her part.

*

Meanwhile, in the classroom.

I was thinking. I was waiting for Yusera while smiling.

Ah. But still. Would you try to kill someone you were close to just a moment ago?

You’re even close with Jaehyuk?

You even feel sympathy for the fact that he’s an ordinary person?

‘He’s not that psychotic, is he?’

After all that effort?

Seraya! I believe in this guy!
