[After one o’clock and a storm. These two people are selected as candidates for early completion!]

Park Bi-hwa’s voice comes from the headset.

A picture of me and Pungran appears on the screen.

And it wasn’t just that.

“Students taking the assistant course who set out to exterminate monsters that appeared at the academy.”

“A blend of official and unofficial heroes, and their new assistants also join.”

“The assistants who helped deal with the unidentified monster, who are they?”

They even showed captured data from internet articles.

Through this, Park Bi-hwa was proving that we were suitable for early completion.

How long has it been since it’s already the graduation exam?

In a way, it was an obviously expected result.

I was just surprised that it happened so quickly.

Of course, we had to complete the course quickly.

Seong Ji-Hyun needs to launch a guild soon.

To do that, our graduation came first.

I heard at the hotel that we could form a guild as soon as we were ready.

That’s probably why Seong Ji-hyeon contacted Park Bi-hwa separately and asked her to do it. Thanks to that, I was selected as a candidate for early completion at such an early stage.

It was no different from those who were eligible to complete the course or those scheduled to complete the course.

[The two students are scheduled to take the completion exam inside the academy next week. Early completion is only possible if you pass the exam, so don’t let your guard down until the end.]

Park Bi-hwa was making a big announcement in front of all the students.

Subsequently, the test date was also announced.

After all, it wasn’t just about completing the course.

It’s a graduation exam… … . This too is probably just a formality.

You can expect to complete the course next week.

Even without going there for almost a month.

After being put in this situation, I felt a new emotion.

What would have happened if I hadn’t met Seong Ji-hyeon when I first fell into the reverse world? He was probably persistently threatened by Park Bi-hwa under the pretext of completing his graduation.

At first, Park Bi-hwa had been threatening me in order to somehow prevent me from completing my graduation, but now, on the contrary, he was rolling up his sleeves to get me to complete my graduation.

It was truly an ironic situation.

I never thought Park Bi-hwa would cooperate like this.

It was something I couldn’t have imagined at first.

[Coincidentally, my team has someone eligible for early completion, but there are still opportunities for other students. So, everyone, please do your best.]

As Park Bi-hwa said, it was an unfortunate incident. From a third party’s perspective, a collusive relationship could be suspected. From the perspective of a fellow student, this may have been something that could have been frowned upon.

But still, everyone was listening quietly without saying a word.

As you can see from the article shown earlier, on the day Cyclops appeared, among all the students at the academy, including the hero course, we were the only ones who took part in rescue efforts against the monster.

There was no one who did not know this fact.

It was an incident that was widely reported in the media.

Because of that, everyone had no choice but to understand.

[Now, let me tell you about what happened so far and I will start by calling roll. There is a lot of progress to be made, so I hope you will follow along and not pretend it is a video class.]

ㅡJiing!

With those words, a small webcam screen of students appears at the bottom of the main screen. It looks like attendance will be called now and the lecture will begin.

Transmitting the webcam screen was essential.

It was a device to deter misbehavior during class.

The same goes for turning on the microphone.

Even though it is a non-face-to-face online class,

I couldn’t leave class without permission.

Park Bi-hwa also had a duty to supervise this as an instructor.

If you don’t concentrate or do something else, you’ll get a penalty point.

[Team 1’s hour later.]

“Yes.”

[And wind orchid?]

[yes… !]

Pungran, who has not been heard from since the hotel, still answers with a lively voice. However, the voice had become somewhat more mature and feminine.

The innocent tone of speech is clearly the same,

The tone of voice itself had changed.

It made me wonder if her older sister was attending the event on her behalf.

‘hmm? Come to think of it, Pungran doesn’t have a screen?’

Suddenly, I was curious about his current situation and tried to see his face,

There was nothing on her screen.

Only a black screen is shown.

[Pungran? Are you unable to turn on the screen because you are still recovering?]

[yes… ! Because of my injury, I still have a hard time turning on the screen… ! So, please understand!]

[is it so. Pungran is unable to broadcast the video due to an injury from training, so we will skip it.]

huh? Not feeling well? Are you recovering?

And what about training-related injuries?

This is the first time. Could it be that he and Park Bi-hwa have teamed up again?

‘That’s strange. It looked fine in the hotel? Of course, I had a cold and was wearing a mask… ah?’

As I unconsciously trace back memories of the storm, a sudden sense of discomfort creeps up my spine.

I think I saw Pungran taking off his mask and eating and drinking at a dinner party. With teeth as sharp as shark teeth.

The memories of yesterday and the memories of the hotel suddenly overlap in my mind.

A line from a villain called Scissor Girl that I encountered yesterday came to mind. What he said about peonies struck me as odd.

‘This could be peonies and wind orchids…’ … ?’

-Snap!

When pondering suspicious circumstances,

Suddenly the door opens.

Because of that, I had no choice but to stop thinking for a moment and look away.

“Sihuya? Has class started?”

It was Iria who opened the door and came in.

He appeared to be holding a small plate in his hand.

“Oh, that’s right. Anyway, class just started.”

I muted the voice for a moment and answered.

Iria nods that she understands.

And then he quietly approached me without saying a word.

-Rattle!

Iria puts the plate down on the desk. What was on the plate was none other than… … .

“Huh? What kind of apple is this?”

“Eat while studying. like this… I really wanted to do it once.”

There was a roughly cut apple placed on the plate. The surface was uneven, showing that the knife had not been handled normally.

In addition, there were several bands attached to the tips of Iria’s fingers. Judging by the redness of the contact surface, it looked like a fresh cut.

I probably hurt my hand while peeling an apple that I had never peeled for myself.

It really makes me smile.

I feel worried and happy at the same time.

It may be a small thing, but I was happy.

His sincerity toward me was reflected in all his actions.

This is why I can’t escape Iria’s embrace. Park Bi-hwa? Wind orchid? Seong Ji-hyeon? I can’t even think of any other women.

Of course, that strange dream from before still feels vivid, but… … .

“Oh, thank you.”

“You can turn on the microphone now. Because I won’t disturb you.”

Iria smiles and takes a step back. Then he stared at the apple.

Since they worked hard to cut it, they are probably asking you to taste it.

I don’t know what to do with Iria’s favor.

A side kick receiving support from a hero… … .

I unmuted the voice by saying, ‘I’ll eat well.’

ㅡCrunchy, crunchy!

Then he picked up the apple with a fork and took a bite.

“Ma, it’s delicious… … ?”

The sweet juice fills the entire mouth.

Perhaps because it was filled with Iria’s affection, it tasted admirably sweet. Because of that, an exclamation of exclamation came out without me knowing.

[After one o’clock? What are you doing in class now?]

“Oh, sorry… ! Well, that… … .”

Shit, it looks like the headset microphone was all echoing.

[It’s okay to eat snacks, but if it disturbs class, can early completion be canceled?]

“Yes… … . Joe, I’ll be careful.”

It seemed like all the students were focusing on my webcam screen as Park Bi-hwa pointed out.

My face suddenly turns red from embarrassment. The tips of my ears are red and it feels tingly and hot.

-Look at how red your face is. So cute… … .

-Your face has turned into an apple?

-Apology? Could it be that Iria gave it to me?

ㅡAre they living in the same house as rumored? And all day long? i envy you… … .

Sure enough, the other students’ attention immediately turned to me.

[Everyone be quiet! We will progress from now on, so if there is anyone who makes a fuss again, I will immediately award penalty points.]

Fortunately, it was resolved through Park Bi-hwa’s intervention, but it still felt like they were spying on me through the screen.

It’s not like I’m doing anything wrong,

It seemed like everyone was looking at me and whispering.

And they all have sinister looks… … .

“Kukkukkuk… !”

Iria, who was watching this from the side, lets out a small laugh. For some reason, she also gave me a strange look.

At first, I thought they were just giving me that look because they thought my reaction was cute… … .

ㅡUgh, swoosh… … .

Iria suddenly bends down and crawls under the desk.

‘What are you doing all of a sudden…? ?!’

Eventually, the place where she stopped was none other than between my legs.

“Hehehe, you should focus on class and not on your lower body, Sihuya?♥”
