‘But honestly, do you intend to kill me?’

Of course, it’s just a joke to say that Yusera won’t kill me.

Maybe she really wants to kill me. Of course she would, because she would keep mentioning me during our conversation. Even if she didn’t want to hear it, she would keep hearing it. The fact that I left a will and went around with her was just a device to make her hesitate because we used to be close. She thought that if she did that, she would have an opening at a moment’s notice and she would be able to survive.

Perhaps the most important thing is right now. Right now, when I’m about to meet Yu Seo-ra.

“Sigh.”

I went back to my class and took out the gun I had in my bag. Of course, he wouldn’t suddenly try to kill me in the school, but he could suddenly go crazy and kill me right away, so it wouldn’t be a problem to prepare it in advance.

When I recalled her murderous eyes, it was creepy.

I’ve already loaded the gun with bullets so that I’ll be safe whenever we attack.

“Come on, come on.”

I have several means of survival. I can guarantee that even if someone wants to kill me, they won’t be able to do it so easily.

I bowed my head slightly.

I realized that I was afraid because the tips of my fingers were shaking slightly.

“Rotten.”

I gritted my teeth.

Fear and terror are crushed to the max by the word death. It is scary to be scared, but I hate dying more, so I had to put those feelings aside. If I even care about it once, it is literally the same as dying.

And I was going to live, so I wasn’t going to care and I was going to go ahead with my plan.

You can do it.

As time passed, I could see Yoo Seo-ra and Seo Jae-hyeok returning to our classroom. The conversation itself seemed to have lasted quite a while, unlike the original, so lunch time was almost over.

Seo Jae-hyuk looked at me, smiled with a somewhat heavy expression, and returned to his class. Watching him, I wondered if Yoo Seo-ra had gone around gossiping about me.

‘Of course, if that’s really true, Seo Jae-hyuk won’t believe it.’

Considering his personality, he wouldn’t believe it even if it was something he heard from Yoo Seo-ra unless he heard it from me. After all, he has a good personality. That’s why he’s the main character. I could feel at ease.

‘I can take care of the rest.’

I thought as I watched Yoo Seo-ra approach me. Yoo Seo-ra was glaring at me with an extremely dark and sinister expression. I wasn’t used to it, but I smiled as if I was okay, as if nothing had happened.

“Why?”

At my words, Yusera opened her mouth.

“Follow me.”

I guess he’s doing that because he wants to end it quietly.

Of course, if ending it quietly meant talking, that would be fortunate, but since it meant killing someone in a place where no one was around, I couldn’t follow them. Who would want to go if they were going to die if they followed them?

Above all, what I want to say won’t end that quickly, so it would be better not to follow along for now. If I can’t convey what I want to say properly and the conversation is cut off, it will only lead to misunderstandings and a bad situation.

“I hate it.”

That’s why I spoke monotonously.

“Who would want to follow that expression?”

On the contrary, I teased him, even making sarcastic remarks. I guess Yuseo, who must have felt deeply angry, wanted to kill me right away. In fact, the guy was frowning.

But what can I do, I can’t kill him now?

Are there really so many eyes watching?

“So get out of here.”

It was a moment when Yusera suddenly tried to rush towards me.

I felt a strong threat and almost fell backwards if I did something wrong. But on the contrary, I was an ordinary person, so I couldn’t react at all, and thanks to that, I was able to sit still and stare at the guy without any change. It might look brave to others.

“Just follow me?”

It looks like he’s trying to intimidate me by making threats that seem like he’s going to kill me.

The sight seemed to ease the tension a little, because it was funny. Didn’t she know that a smart kid like her wouldn’t follow her any further? I intentionally gave her a bitter smile.

The guy’s expression becomes more and more distorted.

The description I had seen in the original story flashed through my mind.

“Are you kidding me?”

At some point, the polite speech that was her signature disappeared. I felt a little uncomfortable, but I didn’t really care.

There are many instances like this in the original work.

“Yes, I’m kidding.”

And I answered that question kindly, using polite language like I usually did.

At that moment, Yoo Seo-ra sighed in disbelief.

“Okay, that’s it.”

He approached me again, using formal language again.

“You can just drag it along.”

Yes. But I’ve been waiting for a while. From now on, I’ll have to speak almost forcefully.

If the conversation stops even for a moment, you’re going to be dragged away from now on.

“No.”

“Why?”

“Class is starting soon.”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

“You told me to study. So I’m going to study.”

At my words, Yusera’s face crumpled. She put her hand on her forehead and sighed deeply, as if she was so annoyed, and the whole classroom could hear it.

It was so funny to see his fingertips tremble.

“Then, if I tell you not to study, you won’t study?”

“No? But I’m still going to study?”

Because that’s the only way out of this situation.

“Please follow me, it will only take a moment.”

“I see. Can you just wait a moment?”

“Yes. So please.”

“Ah. This won’t work. ”

As time passed, a bell rang from the speaker.

I could feel relief at that sound.

I heard the teacher will be coming soon.

“Class has really started.”

“This kid.”

“No, if I swear, it’s useless. You told me not to swear until yesterday.”

bang!

The desk was broken. Thanks to Yusera’s hand, the desk I was going to use disappeared somewhere. I couldn’t react properly as I looked at the desk turned to dust. I was nervous. This isn’t a joke, is it?

I really felt like I was going to die.

“Hey. See you later.”

The guy muttered quietly and returned to his seat.

I kept provoking him by saying that I was somehow stalling for time, but in the end, I succeeded. If I had failed, I probably would have followed him. And something would have happened. But I was able to stay in the classroom by continuing to show off and show off. From now on, if I just spend time with Seo Jae-hyeok, there won’t be any problems. I will have safety in hand, and I can use Seo Jae-hyeok to get my own chance or hidden piece separately.

In the original, Kiyeon always found her way through Yoo Seo-ra. No one knows where she got it, so only she knows where it is. So in order to get Kiyeon, you have to use Seo Jae-hyeok. That was my current situation.

Of course, there are more important things than that, but for me, that comes first right now.

“What the heck is going on?”

A few minutes later, the teacher came in and seemed surprised at the state of my desk.

I raised my hand without paying attention to the sight, and then spoke as if it was nothing.

“My desk was smashed by an accident, sir. Could you replace it?”

“Yeah, right. There must be a desk left. Let’s go together.”

I got up from my seat and followed the teacher.

And unexpectedly, the teacher just let it go without saying anything.

*

Fortunately, thanks to Yoo Seo-ra being there for Seo Jae-hyeok more than me, I was able to spend the day more safely.

So after all the classes were over, I picked up my gun. If it were common sense, I would have packed my bag and returned to the dorm, but I couldn’t do that.

When I felt the presence of people so strongly that even I, a common person, could sense it, I immediately looked behind me. Yoo Seora was looking at me expressionlessly.

What should I say?

“Hello?”

I said it with a smile, but Yuseo didn’t do anything. It meant that even talking was unpleasant. But I needed to talk, and that meant even a suicide note. Someone has to speak first, but looking at the current situation, it seemed like Yuseo wanted to watch me a little more. I had no choice but to speak first.

“So, do you have any questions about me?”

Before the return, the fact that there was a character that didn’t exist before me had a huge meaning. There would be a lot of things I was curious about, and so I wouldn’t be able to kill him easily.

“What are you?”

The first question asked was who I was.

“Kim Seo-jin.”

Since it was something I couldn’t explain in detail, I just said my name.

“Ha. Then, do you know something?”

From here on out, it’s real. It’s up to me whether I’ll say that I know that Yusera has returned, or whether I’ll hide this. It’s a question that requires deeper contemplation than before.

Of course I thought about it.

However, since I didn’t really know much about Yusera, I wasn’t sure whether he would let me live or not. But considering that both options could lead to death, I thought it would be better to just say what I had in mind. That would be better for the future.

I answered sharply in a low voice.

“Uh.”

Simple answer.

When he heard that, the guy frowned and tried to take a step closer. But I didn’t allow him to get that far and stepped back as quickly as I could. And just in case, I prepared to shoot in advance.

“What do you know?”

He showed a bitter smile at those words.

“The fact that you have regressed.”

The guy’s pupils dilated, and then he suddenly backed away from me. It was as if he was trying to pull out the sword at his waist, but it just slid through the air. Then, as if he realized that he had no weapon at the moment, he backed away from me even further. And he stared straight at me.

“What are you doing?”

He spoke to me with eyes full of fear. I was almost taken aback by the unexpected reaction, but I took a step closer to him as naturally as possible. With a gesture that showed a lot of caution, Yuseo picked up one of the chairs next to him.

“Don’t come.”

“Okay.”

Anyway, he’ll soon realize that I’m weak. So I decided not to try to lie to him about this part and tell him the truth when the work is done. But right now, I need to be the boss, so I decided to let him have his misconception for now. It’s short, but I needed to talk.

This was necessary to get people to listen intently.

“First of all, I know you regressed. Why do you think that is?”

“……I don’t know.”

“Okay. Then I’ll explain.”

Of course, you should mix in as many lies as possible. Think about it as probable as possible and organize it.

I took a deep breath and opened my mouth.

“It’s very simple. It was a few months ago? A window like some kind of game system appeared in front of me. And it told me that a person named Yusera would regress. That’s how I found out.”

Yu Seo lowered his head slightly and glared at me.

“Then why did you come to this academy?”

“That’s right. I came here just to meet you.”

The corners of his lips slightly rose. It seemed as if Yu Seo didn’t like my expression and glared at me narrowly.

“Then what you said before was a lie?”

If what I said here were true, it would be the same as ignoring the relationship we had built before. I had to deny what Yoo Seo-ra said.

That would be good for me too.

“No. That’s not it.”

“Then?”

“The only difference is that I came to the academy you were going to, not the academy I originally planned to go to.”

“Oh, I see.”

The will, with its guard down to some extent, put down the chair it was holding.

“So, you’re saying that you’re a normal person?”

“That’s right. But don’t think about doing anything to me because of that.”

“Do you think I’ll do something to you?”

“At least looking at your current appearance.”

I gave a small smile.

“If you do anything to me, you won’t be able to solve the puzzle related to the system I mentioned.”

“Do I really have to solve that?”

“Because it’s a sign of something happening later. You should let it go for your own survival, right?”

Yusera’s expression distorted at my answer.

“Okay, then let’s do that.”

If that doesn’t matter, I was worried that he might kill me, but fortunately, at least the crisis has passed. I felt like I was going to collapse on the floor as the tension was completely released.

“Then, come to the forest behind the dormitory at 1:00 AM today.”

huh?

“Why?”

“There’s a reason. Just follow me.”

Obviously, you can’t kill me. If you really wanted to kill me, you would have kidnapped me as soon as the conversation ended and moved somewhere.

“Okay, I get it.”

“Then, see you then.”

Yu Seo gave me a sarcastic smile and left the classroom.

I was left alone in the classroom. There was no sign of life.

“Haa, I hope it wasn’t a trap.”

I hope you don’t suddenly go crazy and do something to me.

I prayed earnestly.

That was the only thing I could do right now.
