He ran straight towards the giant boss monster called Yuseo. Then he immediately swung his sword.

The sword that flew with mana perfectly captured the boss monster.

At the same time, the bodies of the surrounding monsters began to glow.

‘Ah, it’s a monster that becomes stronger when the boss monster dies.’

That’s why you didn’t try to kill him first.

When I realized that, I immediately knew that my choice was right. I wanted to bother Yusera anyway, so that was the right thing to do.

A faint smile forms.

Kang Ha-hyun and Kim Seon-yul suddenly look at me. They knew that I was close with Yoo Seo-ra, but they didn’t think it was okay to troll me like this.

It seemed like he couldn’t tell whether it was because they were close or because of his personality.

Since it had nothing to do with me anyway, I ignored it and took aim again.

It’s not something you can do so blatantly.

Anyway, since I’ve already heard it from her, I’ll be satisfied so that it doesn’t happen again next time. It’s boring to just sit still like this.

So I guess I’ll have to shoot some guns.

Because it’s boring.

I pulled the trigger lightly. Naturally, there was no mana stored, so the power itself was quite weak.

But still, it was better than the gun I had used before, so I figured it would take some damage.

I continued to hold my ground and fire my bullets.

“Ouch!”

I heard Kang Ha-hyun screaming next to me. It seemed like he was in danger.

I turned my head as if nothing had happened. There were so many monsters surrounding Kang Ha-hyun.

I pulled the trigger lightly.

I got a little hurt and the monster looked at me. It looked a little uncomfortable.

It didn’t even look that painful.

He continued to shoot bullets without paying any attention.

I pulled the trigger a few more times, but it didn’t fire, probably because it was out of bullets. I figured it wasn’t dangerous since it was a test anyway, so I tried to leisurely change the magazine.

At that moment, a monster rushed at me.

If you want to attack, then attack.

I quickly changed the magazine as if I was going to do whatever I wanted. I was able to reload faster than I expected, so I pulled the trigger right away before the monster got close.

It wasn’t a huge attack, but I could see it stopping a little because I kept shooting without any attack delay.

But I quickly ran out of bullets, which gave the monster time to come running at me again. It was at that moment when it was about to rush at me like crazy.

Kim Seon-yul, who was standing next to me, came right up to me and slashed with his sword. The monster’s blood spurted out.

To my disgust, blood ended up on my clothes.

I thought I could finish it neatly without getting my clothes dirty.

That’s too bad.

I looked at Kim Seon-yul.

First of all, since you helped me, it would be good to say thank you.

“Thank you.”

“Then can I ask you this?”

Huh? What question?

I couldn’t help but be a little flustered by Kim Seon-yul’s sudden appearance. Since I didn’t think she would have anything to ask me anyway, I answered lightly.

“Do whatever you want.”

“Then how did you become friends with Yuseo?”

I guess he was just curious.

It was Naini who first showed that it was possible to become close to a famous person like Yoo Seo-ra, whom anyone would want to be close to.

Of course, Seo Jae-hyuk is there too, but I don’t know what he’s like since he’s in a different class.

First of all, this is a question that was in the original work.

In Seo Jae-hyeok’s case, he answers that he doesn’t know, but that could make the other person feel like a loser. In fact, in the original work, there was a clear description that he thought that way.

If I make a bad impression here, something bad might happen for no reason. So it would be better to answer positively somehow.

I was lost in thought for a moment.

And then he answered right away.

“I’m not an awakened person. That’s why he approached me first and we became friends.”

“That’s it?”

“Yeah, well. That’s right.”

It would be better to tell the truth.

So I answered like that. Of course, if I felt that even this was a waste, there was nothing I could do, but I decided to be satisfied with the fact that I did my best.

“Oh, I see. Now I understand. Thank you.”

“What.”

After hearing that, I immediately looked in the direction of Yusera. She was quickly defeating the monsters with an annoyed expression on her face.

“But is that really all? Honestly, it would be hard to become close with someone like that.”

“I don’t know.”

I don’t really know.

If you ask me more questions here, I could probably come up with an answer by forcing myself to do so, but I’d rather not. I don’t want to waste my brain on something so useless.

“Okay. Then you work hard too.”

I guess Kim Seon-yul must have a good personality, so I quickly realized and moved on to a different direction from me.

Honestly, if it were other kids, I would have said something more, but since they didn’t, my impression of them improved. If we have time later, it would be good to become closer.

No matter how much I aim to return to my original world, and at the same time, I’m a true believer, it’s too lonely to go around alone.

Anyway, after finishing those random thoughts, I looked around. As expected, it seemed like it would be too much trouble. There were too many monsters.

Let’s do it for a bit and then stop when we get tired. Since it’s a will, I’ll do it all by myself anyway.

With that thought in mind, I pulled the trigger a little harder.

*

There was nothing special, as expected. Yusera took care of most of them, so Nana and the two others could do nothing.

Naturally, the score wouldn’t be very good. Kim Seon-yul and Kang Ha-hyun must have felt that as well, and they were slightly bowing their heads.

I wondered if it had anything to do with it since it wasn’t a performance evaluation anyway. But when I thought about the scores being made public to the class, I briefly understood.

Because they might be worried that others might think they are weak.

Of course, it wasn’t my fault, so I decided to ignore it. I approached Yoo Seora and spoke to her.

“Hey, are you done?”

“Yes. Now, just go back.”

“Okay.”

With those words, the two of us left the boss room. Kim Seon-yul and Kang Ha-hyun still remained there without saying anything, as if they were still feeling a little sorry.

Seeing such a disappointed look, I couldn’t help but feel a little sympathy. I approached him first, thinking that I should do something about it.

“What’s wrong with you two?”

“Oh, yeah?”

“What, what?”

What is it?

Anyone who saw it had a shitty expression on their face.

But I can’t just say it like this, right?

“Hey, you look a little gloomy. Is there a problem?”

“No. It’s none of your business.”

“That’s right.”

The two of them nodded together as if they had found something to agree on. As expected, it seemed like what I had thought was right.

Thanks to that, I was able to speak more confidently.

“If it’s because of the score, don’t worry. If Yoo Seo-ra did badly, she did badly. There’s no way you two would do badly.”

“Huh? What does that mean?”

It seems like you don’t understand what I mean.

“He only acted individually. That will be a negative factor and his score will be low. Of course, it will be hard for you to do well, but in the end, it won’t be enough for you to worry about.”

As if the teacher was explaining something to the students, the two nodded as if they understood. Their expressions seemed to relax, as if they felt somewhat relieved.

“Thank you for saying that. I feel a little relieved.”

“What are you thankful for?”

I said, scratching my head. Then I immediately left the boss room again.

As we walk down the hallway, we try to exit the gate.

I was able to get out of the dark and reach the gate right away.

“But is what you said true?”

Kang Ha-hyun said that, still worried. I hesitated for a moment and then opened my mouth.

“If you’re that worried, at least protest when your score is really low. It’s because Yoo Seo-ra did it all by herself.”

“That, still.”

“If that’s hard, leave it to me. I’ll ask Yusera.”

If Yoo Seol-ra had said something like that herself, it would have been easy to ignore. The two guys who noticed that she had said it with that intention brightened their expressions again.

Seeing him being so obsessed with grades, I thought that students are still students. Anyway, I’ve already gotten involved with a lot of the main people, so I’ll be able to do something with my connections, so grades don’t matter. And more than anything, I have a place to go back to.

Honestly, if I were one of the students living in this world, I think I would have acted like those kids. Of course, that’s assuming that they weren’t close to Yushu.

So, it is true that I could relate to it to some extent.

Anyway, as time passed, I came out of the gate.

Then I could see the light coming in. It wasn’t that bright.

Lee Joo-hyuk, who was flustered because we came out so quickly, came right over. Then, he nodded and said, as if he understood to some extent that Yoo Seo-ra was next to him.

“Yeah, you guys are Ijo, right? Now let’s rest.”

After leaving those words, Lee Ju-hyeok returned to his seat. He didn’t seem to care much about it.

I didn’t have any intention of just sitting there watching, so I just went somewhere and sat down.

I thought about closing my eyes and going to sleep, but I couldn’t help it when I saw Lee Ju-hyeok approaching me.

what?

“I have a question. Is that okay?”

“Oh, yeah. Well, it’s okay.”

Are you planning on asking any questions? To be honest, I was wondering if there was such a thing.

“What happened with Lee Ji-hye yesterday?”

“Ah.”

I guess that’s what he was wondering.

Well, it seems that Lee Ji-hye, who didn’t even know my dorm room, was in front of the door, so she must have asked Lee Joo-hyuk. Only then was the mystery solved.

Of course, it’s a mystery that wasn’t solved because I didn’t ask.

Well, it doesn’t really matter. As long as it’s resolved, that’s fine.

“Well, nothing much happened. He helped me with my training and stuff.”

There really wasn’t anything special. On the contrary, it was so quiet that it was strange. I thought nothing strange would happen if I just kept training. At least I didn’t think anything would happen, so I didn’t do anything.

I just came here to gain some skills.

“I see. Then the next question is.”

Do you have any other questions?

“Why did Lee Ji-hye come looking for you?”

I was a little worried about how to answer, but I answered quickly.

“I don’t know either.”

I know why, but it’s better to hide it if you can.

Giving out too much information can be dangerous.

“Okay, I won’t ask any more questions.”

“Thank you.”

Actually, I was worried that he might ask more questions, but fortunately, he didn’t. I felt a little relieved.

So Lee Joo-hyuk left, and Yoo Seo-ra came up to me. What is it this time?

“Did something happen with Lee Ji-hye again?”

It seems she overheard the conversation. She asked me questions to clear up this mystery, and I couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed.

“Well, I guess it was.”

“What is that?”

“Ask Lee Ji-hye. I won’t tell you.”

I really have no intention of saying anything.

“Okay, I understand. I’m going to where Jaehyuk is. Do you want to follow me?”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

“Yes. I plan to ask the teacher for permission.”

“You said that without permission?”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

I was a little taken aback. I didn’t even know what to say.

“Do whatever you want. I won’t go.”

“Okay? Okay, I see.”

Yoo Seo-ra moved away from me and went to Lee Ju-hyeok.

From now on, I decided to ignore it because it has nothing to do with me.
