Chapter Index

    Afternoon when all classes are over.

    Shin Yu-jeong, Lim Na-eun, Son Seo-yeon and even me.

    The four of us sat together in a quiet cafe on campus.

    “Well, nice to meet you.”

    “… … .”

    Oh, it’s not four people, it’s 4+1 people.

    The original purpose was for the four of us to get together and think about who would fill the remaining team member.

    “Your tee, team member candidate… , Elena Mi, Mikhailova Dobreva… no see.”

    The three secretly invited Elena here.

    reason?

    Of course… , to introduce her to everyone, appeal appropriately, and get her accepted as a team member.

    By the way, why was this woman so nervous?

    I brought my face close to her and asked in a low voice.

    “Elena, why are you so nervous? Take it easy, take it easy.”

    Then she said.

    “eww… , This is an unexpected situation. Dojin Kim, because he looked innocent, he was even more innocent. I never thought I would get caught handing out my leaflets… .”

    “… … ?”

    What is it about suddenly being naive, and what is the act of handing out leaflets?

    First of all, looking at the tone and intonation, I don’t think it means anything good.

    The act of handing out leaflets… , People outside handing out flyers saying, “Please come to this store,” in exchange for money.

    Oh, no way.

    “Is the act of handing out leaflets… , referring to soliciting customers… ?”

    “That’s right, that. Soliciting customers… ? Hogang? Act. Dojin, I got caught there.”

    “… … .”

    I roughly understand what it means.

    So now… While poking around to save the team, he happened to meet me and appealed to me as if he was trying to stab a persimmon he couldn’t eat… , So, I was soliciting customers, but I naively got caught.

    “But I didn’t know. Sunsoon, I thought all the team members would also do it because they were going to do it… , it wasn’t.”

    “No, Dojin is my name.”

    “Who doesn’t know? Today is strange, Dojin. “Coming back to the good and innocent times.”

    “… … .”

    Let’s not talk, let’s not talk.

    I turned my head and looked at my teammates.

    All of their faces were frowning due to doubt and difficulty.

    I understand why you’re worried.

    Unlike me, the three in front of me look like they won’t be able to get over it easily.

    “Hey, Kim Do-jin.”

    Shin Yu-jeong, who made eye contact, called me out in a low voice.

    “What are you doing now?”

    “… “A little conversation?”

    “It’s not that, this woman… “Whoa, you’re asking why I called Elena, you bastard.”

    Then you should have asked correctly.

    “Didn’t you hear Elena introduce herself? He’s a candidate for the team. “I literally called them for an interview.”

    I feel like if I were to fill my team up as I wanted, I would probably suffer a lot.

    Except for our angel Naeun, the personalities of the two people should be just right.

    One side is an active volcano that looks as if it will explode if you touch it, and the other side is so cold and cold that it looks like you will freeze in place if you get close to it.

    “Aha, is that so? “Then I am against it.”

    Wow, that thing is completely messed up.

    “Yoojeong.”

    “why!”

    “Even if you don’t feel like it, shouldn’t you do it to someone’s face?”

    When I ask the question in detail, a look of impatience appears on his sullen expression.

    After the Kim Jeong-hoon incident, the child changed a little.

    Usually it’s the same, but if I say it in detail like I’m scolding a child like now, he quickly lowers his tail.

    It looks like a feeling of guilt still remains.

    “no… , I’m not the only one who doesn’t like it, so why are you doing this to me?”

    Why, you bastard.

    “You’re the only one coming forward now.”

    Basically, if you step forward, you will be hit first.

    In that sense, he is a very vulnerable person.

    Shin Yoo-jeong glances at both sides and closes her mouth with a sullen expression.

    That thing is very annoying.

    “Yoojeong.”

    “… “What else?”

    “Did I really bring Elena here without even thinking?”

    “… … .”

    He hesitates with his lips and never opens his mouth.

    He seems a little worried to say yes and hurts his pride to say no.

    “I called Elena after putting a lot of thought into it, so please listen to her story first.”

    Shin Yu-jeong’s face turned slightly red.

    “I’m listening. “I’ll listen, so can’t you speak in a different tone?”

    “Why are you talking like that?”

    “Don’t talk like you’re dealing with a child!”

    “That’s right~ Our Yujeong doesn’t like this way of talking… .”

    “Oh, really!”

    I felt like I would explode if I teased him any further, so I got up and said, trying to escape for a moment.

    “Let’s order coffee first. Everyone, Americano?”

    “Yes, I like warm ones.”

    “me too… .”

    “I feel like if I drink something hot right now, I’ll get sick, so I’ll go for something cold.”

    Unlike Lim Na-eun and Son Seo-yeon, who speak softly, Shin Yu-jeong answers with a cheerful tone.

    Yes, you must be cold.

    You have to drink at least that to keep your stomach from getting upset.

    I asked Elena, who was still slightly frozen.

    “Elena, what would you like to drink?”

    “I am… .”

    After thinking for a moment, she speaks rapidly.

    “Iced White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino, please. Oh, add half the chocolate mocha sauce and replace the sugar with Zero Sugar Vanilla. Thank you.”

    “… … ”

    You don’t have any resentment against me, do you?

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    .

    After we managed to order coffee, we started talking in earnest.

    A little while ago, I described it as an interview, but in reality, it would be more accurate to see it as a time of persuasion rather than an interview.

    Because Elena and I have to work as a team to convince the other three.

    “Okay, let’s take a look at this tablet first.”

    I put the tablet on the table.

    What is displayed on the screen is a list of tanks remaining as of now.

    Tankers at the top of the rankings have already been swept away, and even those in the lower to middle grades who are reasonably priced have already been sold out.

    To be honest, the remaining tanks here must all be seen as having clear shortcomings.

    “The reason I chose Elena is simple. “Because out of all the people left here, Elena is the best.”

    Shin Yu-jeong’s complexion became slightly dull.

    “It’s already decreased this much… ? “It’s so damn fast, really.”

    Shin Yu-jeong looks at the faces of those who remain and grumbles.

    Nana, Naeun, Seoyeon.

    I don’t know much about him because he is a special student who entered this semester, but I know him.

    Who are the people who are left now?

    “I happened to see Elena exercising, and her abilities were quite impressive. Not only does he have stamina and strength, but he is not slow on his feet even while using the tower shield.”

    “joy… !”

    Elena, who was listening from the side, let out a strong sniffle.

    Then we made eye contact and he said this with his eyes.

    ‘Okay, Dojin. Appeal to me more strongly!’

    No, why am I reading this?

    “but… , Elena also has her shortcomings.”

    Seoyeon, who was next to me, spoke quietly.

    Surprisingly, that was the first thing he said while we were gathered.

    Maybe I like you, really… .

    Shin Yu-jeong dug into it as if he had been waiting.

    “Yes, that’s right. Its characteristics. “How are you going to do that?”

    Seoyeon put aside her thoughts for now.

    The question I had been waiting for finally came out.

    Speaking of her wide-area CC characteristic that equally hinders both allies and enemies.

    “Speaking of that trait… , I’ve experienced it once?”

    “however?”

    A deceleration zone spreads around her.

    Everyone who has experienced this says this.

    The effect is good, but it has the fatal drawback of not being able to distinguish between friends and enemies.

    But that was wrong.

    “Elena’s characteristics are working well without any problems.”

    Shin Yu-jeong frowns.

    “What does that mean? “Are you saying slowing down everyone, both allies and enemies, is working well?”

    “Oh, it’s working fine. “That too for sure.”

    From the time the trait was created until now.

    Elena’s traits were working well.

    And that too, in a state where the distinction between faction and faction is very clear.

    White chocolate on the side… Elena, who was happily sucking on something, looked at me with a surprised expression.

    “that is… , Is that true? Elena’s characteristics, are these normal?”

    “huh.”

    Her face turns to despair at my firm answer.

    “Oh my god, I’m screwed…” . If this is normal, there is no hope of fixing it. Then Elena, Elena… !”

    Her face immediately turned into a crying expression.

    It seems like he envisioned himself graduating with the lowest grades and returning home lonely without making any money.

    I patted her sagging shoulder and told everyone.

    “As I said before, Elena’s traits are working very well.”

    He twirled his finger to point at all of us except Elena, and then opened his mouth again.

    “With the perception that we are all enemies.”

    There are no bad traits in the world.

    There’s just something wrong with the owner.
