“It’s been a while, everyone.”

At the church stood Dr. Hyo-rin Kang, a genius in dungeon and monster research.

It was the first time I had seen his face since he disappeared last time due to urgent matters.

“Something bad happened at home… so I’m finally going back to class.”

Dr. Kang Hyo-rin must have had a really hard time, as she had long dark circles under her eyes.

“Still, let’s cheer up and make progress! The paper test I took last time hasn’t been graded yet, so today we’ll play strategic chess.”

“iced coffee….”

A sigh spreads among the cadets.

Strategic chess was a complex practice that the cadets disliked.

“Okay, the strategic chess you’ve been waiting for!”

“…?”

As we became part of the same club, I became closer to Lucy and Rumi. Instead of sitting right next to me, Lucy and Rumi were sitting side by side in front of me, and I was sitting right behind me by myself.

Although you can’t see their faces, it is difficult to concentrate in class because of the twins’ scent that is gently wafted during class.

The reason why I questioned Lucy’s words is because Lucy is not a character who is strong at studying.

Not all wizards are strong at studying. There are some things, like the magic circle, that must be memorized, but wizards are a group of people who leave most things to their talents.

Gerushi’s character was always holding his head while saying ahh in every theory class. Why is he so confident?

Even in strategic chess, which is so difficult.

The holographic monitor mounted on a personal desk rises to form a chessboard-shaped field.

‘Wow, it’s been a long time. Really.’

Strategic chess. It is one of the exercises at Victoria Academy. It is a game-like system where you become the leader of the strategy and use the strategy team to break through the dungeon.

‘I wish games were exams~’ I thought a lot when I was a high school student, but games are only fun when played as games.

If you’re not good at games, you won’t be able to get into a good college, and if you’re bad at games and your mom nags you, you might end up saying, ‘Oh, I want to study instead of playing games.’

The same goes for strategic chess.

It is a turn-based game like chess, and you win if you catch all of the opponent’s monsters while moving your members one at a time.

Even in the original game, strategic chess was notorious.

There are three elements to strategic chess.

Dungeon as the background.

Opponent role monster.

A raid team controlled by me.

All three have over 50 patterns and rotate randomly.

Difficulty levels range from easy to extreme.

It may be that since it is her first time, she will ask for easy questions, but if she is Dr. Kang Hyo-rin, who enjoyed the suffering of her students by giving extremely difficult paper tests last time, then you never know.

“Now, let’s start practice~.”

At the same time as Hyorin Kang said, the hologram in front of my eyes began to change.

My dungeon [jungle] opponent was [2 banana-red monkeys] and my strategy was [10 melee warriors, 5 curse wizards, 5 support wizards] combination.

“what’s this.”

It wasn’t a combination with good synergy, but honestly, it wasn’t difficult.

The Banana Red Monkey is a boss-type monster, and although it is strong, it is not very intelligent.

If you place a melee warrior at the front and stack curses with a curse wizard, you will be able to subdue it with less damage.

“What! It’s so easy?”

“Yes, that’s right. I guess the professor adjusted the level of difficulty because it was my first time.”

“Rumi. I’ll show you a demonstration first, so watch carefully, okay?”

“Yes, yes. Fighting.”

‘Hmm.”

Thinking about the face of the professor I saw during the last paper exam, I don’t think that’s the case.

At that time, another cadet raised his hand and said.

“Huh? What! Professor, the strategy team member is not listening!”

Dr. Hyorin Kang grinned as if she had been waiting.

“It’s okay. The people responsible for this problem are cowardly operators. Unless the operation is truly safe and risk-free, they will not follow it.”

“Yes, yes? What kind of operation is this without risk?”

“You have to figure that out.”

“……!”

“Well, I’m trying to see your creativity and leadership, so relax. What’s important is the process, not the result. Whatever you like, try it.”

No matter how much you say it, it cannot be a burden to the cadet who solves it.

“You probably won’t be able to clear it anyway, but for motivation, I’ll give extra points to the cadet who clears~.”

Are those words coming out of the mouth of someone who is trying to motivate them?

‘Anyway, the difficulty level of this is extremely high, isn’t it?’

Even when playing the original game, the important thing is to minimize damage to the main unit.

That’s how you get higher scores and avoid being expelled.

Moreover, it was even more difficult because in order to take the Alice route, you had to beat Alice in test scores.

“Huh? Why aren’t you listening, guys…?”

Lucy, who was confident, is giving orders to the crew members who are absorbed and not moving.

“Ah! No, if you dig in there, you could kill me, so why don’t you dig in there!”

The same goes for other cadets.

The sight of Dr. Hyorin Kang drinking coffee while watching the cadets screaming and starting over again was a little scary.

No matter how you look at it, it seems a bit S-oriented.

I also slowly analyzed my problem.

In ‘Sex Academy’, a shitty sex game, you have to beat this strategic chess more than 5 times to proceed with the scenario.

All the elements change every time, so I can’t even memorize it.

But I conquered all the routes and cleared this strategic chess game countless times.

It also knows the characteristics of the banana red monkey.

In banana red monkeys, couples appear at the same time.

Because stocks are bananas, we are very wary of external enemies that touch bananas.

There are chicks in the nest.

However, do not touch the cubs. When the cubs die, the banana red-blooded monkey goes berserk and becomes more difficult to attack.

“Hmm… I guess it’s worth it.”

After analyzing my strategy team and monsters, I moved my team members.

Since they were the ones who did not take unsafe orders, the five melee fighters terrorized the banana trees from afar.

At first, they didn’t listen to the orders, so I told one of them to cut down 5 trees each and run away right away. Only then did they listen to the orders and went to cut down the trees.

I took the remaining 5 melee warriors, 5 support wizards, and 5 curse wizards and headed towards the monkey’s nest.

Since one support wizard could cast a shield on three people, it was a safe situation.

While quietly observing the nest, the monkeys ran out of the nest to deal with the external enemies attacking the banana tree.

All the melee fighters cutting down the trees would have already run away.

While the banana red monkey was away from the nest, he brought the rest of his troops into the nest and placed a curse on the young monkeys.

Rather than a life-threatening curse, it quickly left the nest and ran away with a highly contagious and paralyzing curse.

“Now just turn it at 3x speed and you’re done.”

The curse placed on the baby monkey will slowly spread to the banana red monkey.

Those who have unnecessarily strong maternal love take care of baby monkeys until their own bodies become immobile due to a curse.

Then, if you let the troops enter and kill them, the attack is complete.

The key to this strategy is waiting. After speeding up 3x, you have to keep waiting.

If you do nothing for more than 30 minutes and move to the next room repeatedly, the monkey will stay still in the nest and gradually become infected with the curse.

It may take a long time and your score will be reduced, but this is the only way to complete it without any damage.

“Ahh!”

I was startled by the scream coming from in front of me, so I looked in front and saw Lucy holding her head with both hands and moaning.

“I only practiced strategic chess all week last week! How can you do this to me?”

“….”

“Ugh. I’m done.”

“Ooh, don’t cry Lucy…it’ll be okay.”

While I was filming a scene in front of me, my strategy team members cut off the head of a monkey that was unable to control itself due to a curse.

Yeah-

The strategic chess game ended when the phrase “Victory!” appeared on my hologram.

“Huh? Someone has already cleared it?”

Dr. Hyorin Kang said as if she was surprised.

Other cadets also look at this with wonder.

“Tsk. A promise is a promise. That’s 1 extra point.”

Dr. Kang Hyo-rin said as she licked her lips regretfully.

I was so embarrassed that I stayed still, but Lucy, who was lying down and pretending to cry, turned around.

And my eyes widened as I saw the phrase “Victory!” floating in front of me.

“H-how!”

“I was lucky. It was an easy problem.”

It was a problem that could be easily solved if you knew the characteristics of the banana red monkey. Of course, it would not be easy to know the characteristic of continuing to hug the baby even if it is injured.

“Give me a tip too… Ah, no, this is not the time. Let’s work harder!”

Lucy, who was asking me for a tip, made eye contact with Dr. Hyorin Kang, was shocked, and then looked ahead again, her passion burning.

30 minutes later.

“It’s not possible! It’s not possible! Who made this!”

Whoa whoa-

I thought to myself as I looked at Lucy, who was lying down and crying again.

‘Fortunately, the setting that prevents me from studying has not changed.’

*

After school, Lucy headed to the play club’s room.

I told Lee Ho-yeon to come today to receive new members.

-Sorry, I have something I have to do today. I’ll just finish that and leave.

While saying this, I quickly ran to the dormitory.

Rumi said she was going to buy cookies from the bakery since they were out of cookies.

“Ahh, I’m bored.”

Lucy loved moving around and was active from birth.

So, I created a club, and I was very happy to see that a new member joined when I was bored because no one came.

Knock knock

“Yes, who are you?”

“I’m Felix.”

“Ah! I’ll open it now!”

When Lucy opened the door, a white-blond-haired boy with innocent eyes was standing there.

“We’re not there yet, let’s sit down and wait.”

“Yes, four.”

Felix quietly sat down on the sofa, rolling his eyes here and there as if he still felt awkward around here.

Lucy, who was friendly, took care of the timid Felix and talked to him.

“Yes, yes, there are three people in our club, including a boy named Lee Ho-yeon and my younger sister Rumi.”

“If you are Ho-yeon Lee, are you perhaps the student council public relations lady?”

“That’s right. Our club is a club with student council members.”

Shrug. It’s not a big deal, but Lucy, the first club president,’s shoulders went up.

“Aha…that’s why no one comes to the club…sigh.”

“what?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

“No, I heard you clearly, so say it again. Do you know why no one comes to our club?”

Lucy looked at Felix with unusually serious eyes.

Felix lowered his head as if he had made a mistake and sighed.

“You must keep what I say a secret.”

“Yeah, don’t worry. What are you talking about?”

“Actually… there are a lot of bad rumors about that person named Lee Ho-yeon.”

“…A bad rumor?”

“First of all, he is famous for his relationship with women. There are a lot of bad rumors about him, including the student council president, Professor Lim Sol, and his public relations wife, Miss Ellis.”

“….”

“And there’s a rumor that I saw you going to a motel with a classmate.”

Lucy did not judge others based on rumors. She was the type to only believe what she saw. The Ho-yeon she saw was a good and sincere student, although the relationship started with a misunderstanding.

But the first misunderstanding.

What if touching Lucy’s breast was not an accident?

“Of course… if you think about it, almost everyone around Lee Ho-yeon is female.”

It’s not that Lucy doesn’t have friends of the opposite sex, but I’ve never seen Lee Ho-yeon talk to a man except for one male cadet named Kim Young-han.

“Really? I think that’s why female cadets don’t come here.”

“…Maybe so.”

After the club was created, many men approached Lucy and Rumi after seeing their bodies, but no female cadet had ever said they would join.

“Well, not everything is for sure. There were just rumors. Still, since we’re in the same club as Miss Lucy, I hope it’s all just rumors.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Felix smiled at Lucy while saying something that would have made Lee Ho-yeon laugh.

Tiring-

At that time, an alarm arrived from Lucy’s smart watch.

“I never thought there would be such a rumor… First of all, Rumi and Hoyeon are both coming so I’m waiting for them! I’ll come pick them up.”

“yes.”

Lucy quickly left the club room, and Felix, who was left alone in the room, wiped his smile and frowned.

“From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like they’re dating….”

Felix, who thought that even if Lucy and Lee Ho-yeon were not dating, they were at least dating, he personally created and spread a rumor to separate the two, and passed it on to Lucy.

However, contrary to expectations, there was no significant change in Lucy since they were just friends.

Felix licked his lips and sucked on the drink that was on the table.

“There’s still a lot of time, so I’ll take it slow.”

Lucy.

She is the woman that Majin Felix fell in love with at first sight.

The woman who made me do the dangerous thing of infiltrating the academy.

Being here now was quite a risky move, but it didn’t matter as long as I could have her attractive face and voluptuous breasts.

Thump thump thump

At that time, I heard footsteps outside.

Felix returned to his innocent face, put down his drink, and sat down on the sofa nervously.

“Oh, you’re clean?”

Hoyeon Lee said after seeing the club room.

“You’d be surprised if you knew how hard Rumi and I cleaned, right? Hehe.”

“You had a hard time. You shouldn’t have called me and asked for help.”

“Rumi says absolutely no, what should I do?”

“But…if it weren’t for Hoyeon, our club wouldn’t have existed….”

“Ah. It’s burdensome now so you can stop talking about it.”

As soon as we come in, we naturally have an intimate conversation.

I spread rumors at best, but it didn’t make much difference.

Felix felt like his stomach was turning, but he held on and looked back.

“Oh, that’s right! I’m looking to hire you as a new member this time, and I called you to ask your opinion. What do you think? You look nice, right?”

Lucy introduced Felix to Lee Ho-yeon.

Hoyeon Lee and Felix recognized each other for the first time.

The two look into each other’s eyes, and Lee Ho-yeon smiles.

When Lucy saw that, she naturally expected positive words to come out, but the words that came out of Lee Ho-yeon’s mouth were completely unexpected.

“Nope.”
