I felt like it would be a mistake on my part if I failed for no reason, so I decided to stay focused so as not to feel guilty.

And when Rebecca finished praying and opened her eyes.

I pressed the power button with the hand that was opposite to hers.

Wow~!!

Flash!!!

[success]

“!!!!!!!”

“What happened???”

Does this work?

Surprisingly, it was successful.

It was the first time I reached the round of 11.

Did he even recognize that his master was here?

“It worked.”

“Oh! So did it go well?”

No way.

“No, you have to do it one more time.”

And this could truly be called the Wailing Wall.

“Then, shall I pray again?”

Rebecca asked with bright eyes, as if she was happy to hear that she had succeeded, even if she didn’t know what it was.

The purple eyes that had been lost after receiving treatment from Fran were sparkling as if starlight had been embedded in them.

I looked into her eyes as if I was fascinated for a moment and then said.

“I think it would be better for you to choose here than me. If you fail this time, you will go down one level, and if you succeed, you will become the final equipment.”

“Final equipment?”

As expected, Rebecca showed interest in the term final equipment.

It seems that what I said earlier about going down a level didn’t even register.

“Instead of thinking about success, you should think about when you fail. I heard that if you fail, your performance goes down, right?”

“The final equipment is right in front of us, so you’re telling us to stop here? That’s ridiculous. Please do more!”

“You won’t regret it, right?”

“If you fail now, don’t you just have to try again? They said you can do it until you succeed. If you fail today, I’ll save up money again.”

Rebecca, who did not know the details of how much money it would cost to strengthen him, sounded naive.

“Now this costs a lot of money.”

“huh?”

“I heard more than you gave.”

“…..”

Rebecca’s expression becomes serious.

“How much more did you hear?”

“More than you can imagine.”

“Tell me more, so I can give you more.”

“There’s no need for that, just know that it cost several times more than you think. Do you still want to do more?”

“…I want to do it.”

Rebecca made a bold choice.

“You can make money again.”

Rebecca’s words woke me up.

“Yes, you are right.”

If you don’t have enough money, you can earn more money and pour it out.

Are you scared of not being able to pass the 12th grade?

Then all you have to do is bring more money.

That may be the fundamental reason why Ariando can honestly call for strengthening.

Level 11 isn’t bad, isn’t level 10 usable enough, doesn’t seem to know the cost-effectiveness, etc.

I became ashamed of myself for thinking like this in the past.

Rather, I should have appealed to the kids more about strengthening and encouraged them to take the 12th class.

“Let’s do it. Even if you fail, you can just try again.”

“huh!”

I gathered my courage and pressed the intensify button while holding Rebecca’s hand once again.

And there was no next time.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

“Teacher, what is that?”

“Your legs look really pretty today. Your shoes seem to be shining gold…”

“Huh? Hehe, yes. It’s custom equipment.”

“Wow, custom equipment? It looks really expensive.”

“It cost me some money.”

Smile!

If female students show interest in high heels.

“Wow~”

“You look particularly pretty today.”

Gulp!

The male students gaped as they watched them show off their unique looks today.

In fact, it wasn’t just a day or two that male students looked at him.

I have known for a long time that my appearance and body are stimulating to young adolescents.

Perhaps because I am from the desert, my body generates a lot of heat, so I tend to expose a lot of skin in the clothes I wear, and because of that, I often attract attention from others.

Normally, I wouldn’t have paid much attention to their gaze, but…

‘My baby is kind of pretty.’

I couldn’t ignore it today.

In particular, the girls’ gaze made me happier than the boys’ gaze.

The girls immediately recognized why I was special today and gave me envious looks.

“Sir!!!!!!!”

And it was Ariando who reacted most violently to his change.

“This… this is it, right? This sparkle, this golden halo!!! This is the round of 12!!! That’s the only one. It’s definitely right, right??”

…I’m a little embarrassed because it’s more intense than I thought.

“Yes, that’s right. Round of 12.”

“Ahh!!! The next round of 12 is mine!”

“Yes?”

“No. Heeing.”

Ariando looked at her high heels with longing eyes.

“Aren’t you in the round of 12 yet?”

“…Teacher, you are speaking too harshly.”

Ariando stumbled, clutching his chest in shock.

“Huh?! Was this a harsh word?”

“Of course!!!!!!! I also wanted to make it to the round of 12, but I can’t keep doing it.”

“Uh… really?”

I think there’s something Suhan didn’t tell me.

‘Was the round of 12… difficult?’

It just clicked…?

‘Well, I was so happy that I prayed and it worked out after not being able to do it for two days.’

Looking at Ariando’s actions, it seemed like he was hiding something for himself.

“Wow, teacher, you took class 12?”

While Ariando was admiring the brilliant gold of the high heels, Shine appeared and spoke cheerfully.

As soon as I saw Shine’s attitude, I thought he must be in the top 12.

“Yes. Suhan did it.”

“Hehe, I’m also in the top 12.”

“I heard that your skills have improved significantly. Does it seem to be effective?”

“Have you tried it, sir? It feels really different.”

“Uh oh. It was different.”

Since I couldn’t bear to tell anyone, I smiled awkwardly.

The power of round 12 high heels was stronger than expected.

Thanks to this, I had to spend some time getting used to it again.

‘It’s because of him!’

The problem was that I had a difficult night because Suhan found out about my weakness.

‘Who knew feet were a weak point?’

My feet, which had been subjected to a lot of bullying, became even more sensitive, and the moment I wore high heels, I had to go through the adaptation process again.

Still, it took less time than before to get used to it, perhaps because it was something I had done once before.

‘Still…ugh…I’m embarrassed.’

I can’t forget Suhan looking at me doing adaptation training with a mischievous look on my face.

It’s dizzying to even think about how mischievously he will make fun of himself for that next time.

“After today, I will go straight to you.”

“Are you going to do it again?”

“uh.”

While I was thinking about something else for a moment.

Ariando was burning with enthusiasm for the round of 12.

“Ariando, are you ready for the test?”

I was worried whether he was preparing well for the test because he was so distracted by the lectures.

Even if the academy was in turmoil because of the kidnapped child, everything must proceed according to the set schedule.

In that respect, I was worried about whether Ariando, who was walking around so brightly, was preparing well for the exam.

“omg.”

And when Ariando heard what I said, he stopped as if he were a broken toy.

“You didn’t do it.”

“Sam…”

Ariando’s shaking eyes meet mine.

I couldn’t leave Ariando worrying about the wrong things without preparing for the test.

“You know that getting a medal doesn’t mean you’ll get good test scores, right?”

“Ugh.”

“Especially Ariane, you should be prepared if your written grades fail.”

“Hey.”

Honestly, there is no way these kids will show any shortcomings in the practical test.

The problem is the writing.

There are many students who put all their effort into practical skills, but none of them are interested in handwriting, so the teachers always had to encourage them in this way.

Otherwise, it was obvious that I would mess around and fail the exam.

“Teacher is teaching a practical subject, so why do you keep telling me to study handwriting?”

“Honestly, you guys are not at a level to worry about practical skills. Your rank will vary depending on how much you study the written exam.”

Of course, you have to tell them to study handwriting.

Depending on their rank, children receive additional points when they enlist.

It also affects, knowingly or unknowingly, the speed at which one’s rank rises after enlistment.

Elites are promoted quickly at their own speed and perform in accordance with their intended use.

“Even if I don’t nag you, you understand why you have to study, right?”

“Yesss.”

“Huh…I don’t want to study.”

Ariando and Shine sighed with gloomy eyes.

In fact, they weren’t the only children with eyes like that.

When the exam period, which is considered the academy’s biggest annual event, begins, it can often be seen in the hallways.

Would it be like watching students turn into zombies in real time?

The academy, which had entered the exam period in earnest, was calm and radiating an unusual energy, as if it were the eve of a storm.

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

These days, the door to the general store doesn’t open very often.

Perhaps because of this incident, the academy kept its front door tightly closed and prohibited entry to outsiders during the exam period.

Students are probably busy taking exams inside by now.

‘The overall atmosphere is definitely a bit dead.’

The overall atmosphere in the city was depressed because students, who could be considered the city’s main purchasing group, were busy taking exams.

But I don’t think any merchant would hate this situation.

‘Students who are very stressed after finishing their exams go to the city and spend a lot of money.’

That was a critical moment for the merchants living within Academy City.

If I were an ordinary person running a business, it would have been normal for me to be working hard to stock up on goods.

But now, rather than thinking about packing up my things, I was thinking about something else.

“Now is the right time.”

Pick a character that will make the kids 5 stars.

Now was the time to move forward and not put it off any longer.

I should have done it a long time ago, but it had been postponed due to various issues and was now slowly becoming a burden.

Now there is nothing to disturb.

I was planning to process it quickly and lighten the load.

“I’m doing it for the beads, but I should aim for the SSR.”

I would be grateful if SSR came out anytime.

Although I spent a lot of money to give Rebecca 12 unique equipment, Ariando was not the only one who paid for me.

A day to spend all the money you have saved up all at once.

‘Spending money is always exciting.’

It is natural that the more money you have to spend, the stronger the pleasure of spending money becomes.

It was the moment when the item window was once again filled with beads.
