“S, S-rank?! W-Wow, you’ve already… …got an S-rank?”

It is natural for Yuna to be surprised and ask back. Because the S-rank is a rank that is represented as an ‘immeasurable rank’. It is a rank of a greater dimension that cannot be measured by numbers or ranks.

However, this is only a temporary student grade. Therefore, the grade may change after each midterm and final exam, so I must work hard to maintain this grade in the future.

“Ah, it’s been a while since I ran. I’m so hungry. Let’s go get something to eat together.”

“Ugh. How fancy would an S-class banquet be…? ”

I headed to the main cafeteria building of the academy with Yuna.

#

The main building where the Academy’s cafeteria is located.

“Keep it up.”

“I’m dying… … .”

As the sunset glowed, cadets, half-dead from repeated combat training, began to crawl into the dining hall one by one, their clothes like rags.

Among the children who came back covered in dirt and dust, there was also ‘Cho-ah’.

Soon, Cho-ah came in, blinking her eyes with a face that was almost like a knife, holding a wooden sword in her hand and using it as a cane.

“Whoa… …Why is it like this, intense training from the first day.”

I looked at Choa, who had returned looking like a beggar, and snickered.

On a day like today, Choa’s psychological and physical stress would be at its peak, so the assistant said, “That won’t work.”

“Ugh, I’m really dying. I’m dying.”

“If this continues, we’ll all die before we even enter the dungeon… … !”

Most of the students who had low grades suddenly became like Cho-A overnight. On the other hand, they were like the four cornerstones.

‘Na’, Arisha, and Ryona all stayed fluffy.

Those students, in turn, scolded the students who were having a hard time.

“What, you’re joking around after running a circuit.”

At the academy, they were busy with basic physical training and combat training every day.

As part of that training, you’ll run one lap a day around a ‘hurdle stage’, bumping into four types of ‘dummies’ and pitfall traps.

During the test, it was a four-person race, but now you have to go around the circuit alone every day, fighting all the dummies.

Would you believe that this grueling physical training is nothing more than a warm-up before entering full-scale combat training?

Students who will complete their course in the supporter category are no exception.

“Come on, hurry up and move! Those who are late, there will be no food distribution! The ingredients will all run out.”

“Eek… …?! Are all the ingredients gone?”

At the instructor’s warning, the students lined up and ran to the food distribution corner.

In fact, the Academy has sufficient food supplies.

This is because all of the government’s support was being poured into high-level hero training institutions, the ‘Ability Academies’.

But in order to further draw out the students’ abilities and passion.

The Academy provides very rigorous education and training.

So if you have a student who is late to circuit training on the ‘hurdle stage’.

By mercilessly reducing food distribution, we encourage cadets to grow.

“This is the cradle of learning that has produced countless heroes! Remember! You came here to save the world. If there are any of you who came here to play, dreaming of a high career or fame, go back anytime!”

The children all bit into their tear-soaked rice balls.

Some students enjoyed healthy salads, fresh sweet potato puree, and soft homemade bread spread with butter.

A significant number of students were living on rice balls.

I was eating it so quickly that I couldn’t eat any more.

“Hmm, yum yum yum… … Oppa. Who is this unnie again?”

Thanks to me, Choa got a C grade and was able to fully savor the ‘Grilled Salmon and Vegetable Dressed Salad’.

Then, Yuna, who was chewing on a rice ball with her mouth full of rice while looking at Choa with envious eyes, greeted her happily.

“Hello? Are you… …Choani?”

“Yeah! But how do you know my name, Unnie?”

“Ah, ah!”

At that moment, Yuna panicked and searched every nook and cranny of Choa’s body, trying to find something like a name tag.

The Academy’s name badge was not required to be carried unless it was a combat uniform.

I said with a quiet laugh.

“I told you. Don’t you remember?”

“Uh, yeah. Was that so?”

Then, Cho-ah blushed in surprise and fell into deep thought.

“Hehe, oppa, you were bragging about me everywhere like that.”

Arthur, Arthur.

In fact, I didn’t even mention anything to Yuna about her younger sister Choa.

In any case, it seems like Yuna figured out the information on her own since she had read the entire novel.

But the purpose was to help Yuna, who was having a hard time because she forgot the probability.

That’s what I was talking about.

“But, Oppa. Why aren’t you eating?”

Choa asked, munching on the food in her mouth. I looked at her and spoke quietly.

“Cho-ah, I’m sorry.”

“Yeah, what is it… … ?”

“I was supposed to eat with you… … . I mean, ‘special guest invitation’.”

“Woong, woong? What is that, bro… … .”

“Hehehe. There is something like that.”

I’m afraid I’ll get stressed out for no reason.

I kept it a secret from Cho-ah that I could take one student with me to a buffet restaurant where only S-class students could enjoy the privileges.

So, holding Yuna’s hand, I went to enjoy the best meal that an academy trainee could receive.

“Oh, student. Next to you is an F-class student… … .”

“Here.”

“This is a special guest invitation. Please come in.”

* * *

At Arpen Academy, what is the best meal that a trainee can receive?

“Premium steak made with Korean beef and original special sauce,” “Risotto with truffles and live octopus,” “Cream pasta made with the king of Italian cheeses, Parmigiano cheese,” etc.

There are probably many things.

A menu made with the best ingredients does not always guarantee the best taste.

So, if you become an S-class student, you will be able to enter the “Special Buffet Restaurant” where you can enjoy all the food menus from all the ranks of this academy.

“Wow, wow… … awesome.”

The interior of the “Special Restaurant” also exudes the atmosphere of a top-class restaurant.

The sunset coming through the large window and the window that allows you to enjoy the entire view of the academy were not bad vantage points.

“Me, really. Can I eat in such a nice place… …?”

Yuna asked, looking around the restaurant with wide eyes.

“Yeah, eat as much as you want.”

That’s my way of atonement for getting you into this game.

The “Apostle of the Message”, who suffers the most among the heroines in the work.

I guess it’s about time we started moving, right?

“Ugh?! What is this.”

The trigger has been activated.

A quest message will be floating in front of Yuna right now, and it will most likely be something like a message telling her to control her appetite.

If you follow the quest.

Both variable and unvariable abilities increase evenly.

If you fail to complete the quest.

‘Apostle of the Message’, whose stats decrease in reverse.

The problem, however, was that the person behind this ‘quest’ was a guy with sadistic tastes.

“Oh, ugh… …From now on, just drink water. To me.”

When I heard that, I shrugged my shoulders.

“Where else can I lose weight? Just drink water. Who.”

“Quest message… … .”

Maybe by now.

The background behind the quest will make your outfit burst and you’ll die.

Because revealing the quest to the outside world was taboo. Yuna broke that rule and told me that the ‘quest’ existed.

“Keep, kekekekeke!”

Yuna suddenly screamed and received an electric shock.

I smirked and localized one of the seven skills I could learn, because I was now thinking about putting Yuna through emotional trauma and training her.

‘[Quest] The faster you learn abilities, the better… … .’

And I knew how to train a guy with that masochistic streak.

Because ‘Sato Yuna’ was a character that only I could train.

“Yuna.”

“Yeah, ugh, ugh… … why, ugh. My tongue is numb.”

“Actually, I like you.”

“Ugh, uh… … ?!”

All the students were shocked by the sudden confession in the restaurant.

“D, did you hear… … ? The top student in the whole school likes the last student in the whole school.”

“… … Huh, I think you’re crazy. Why do you like everyone who ranks last in the school when you don’t have anyone else to like?”

[Group, your obedience in the ‘Arpen Academy’ has decreased by 3.]

[The favorability rating of the underprivileged female student group increases significantly.]

[The favorability rating of the group of bad school girls goes down.]

But while everyone was shocked, there was only one person who remained calm. That person was Yuna, who I had intended to embarrass.

“I’m sorry. I have someone I like… … .”

“What?! Who is that?”

You had a crush on someone for over a decade that you couldn’t even tell your boyfriend about?

Why is that?

I felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness, as if I was sending my beloved daughter off to be raised by a man who was like a servant.

What a lucky son of a bitch.

How dare you pick on our Yuna?

“Hey, here… … there won’t be any. Actually, I came here looking for him. And I got dragged here… … .”

At that moment, I was the one who was embarrassed.

I couldn’t believe it.

Yuna, didn’t you get possessed while holding my cell phone?

I hold in my hands my account where I have posted thousands of comments on this novel, totaling well over 5,700 characters.

That means he came to my house looking for me.

The story that you’ve always liked me… …?!

‘Sir, no way. That can’t be…!’

at that time.

Was it a coincidence?

Looking at the table next to me.

Against the backdrop of the evening dusk and the cracks in the windows, the Dean was looking at us with a pleased smile.

The dean I fell in love with the first time I saw him in OT.

‘No, you’re mine… … ♡’

When the Dean’s pink lips licked their lips as if performing a ventriloquism.

I didn’t notice a single word she said.

▼ This is Yuna confessing that the person she likes is the main character…!
