The High School Girl is a Guild Leader

I tilted my head at Ellie’s answer.

Just in passing, I’d heard that Ellie was physically weak and had never been to school.

How could Ellie, of all people, enroll in high school, and in the same one as me?

“Are you okay? I thought you couldn’t go to school.”

“I’m okay now… as long as I don’t overdo it.”

Ellie, who had been catching her breath, straightened up and looked at me.

Her eyes were shining so brightly that I almost patted her head without thinking.

“Why are you here?”

I was fidgeting, looking at Ellie.

Sohee, who was standing next to me, stepped forward as if to block me, shielding me from Ellie.

Ellie hesitated at the sight and took a step back.

But her eyes shone fiercely as she looked up at Sohee.

She looked like a puppy rebelling against its owner.

“Sohee… you clearly… clearly said you’d let me go to school with Hayeon-nim…!”

“I did.”

“We’re in different classes…!”

“I didn’t say you’d be in the same class.”

“Kheu…”

I stood behind Sohee and listened to their conversation.

It seemed there was some kind of deal between Sohee and Ellie, but it had gone slightly awry.

“I didn’t lie. It turned out the way you wanted.”

“Th, that’s…”

“If you have any complaints, tell me. I’ll immediately…”

Heelkkeut-

Sohee, who had been confidently continuing her words, seemed to realize something and turned to me, gauging my reaction.

Then she pursed her lips shut.

It seemed there was something I shouldn’t hear.

“Anyway…”

“I have no complaints… just…”

“Just?”

“I’m just disappointed…”

Ellie said that and sighed deeply.

Watching her small chest rise and fall, I felt a strange sense of pity.

I walked past Sohee and held out my hand.

“If we’re in different classes, you can just come visit me every break.”

“I, is it okay if I do that…?”

“Why wouldn’t it be?”

I heard Sohee sigh behind me.

***

Evening came after returning home.

Mom was away on a business trip, so I ended up eating dinner alone with my dark-haired brother, Harang.

Of course, neither of us knew how to cook, so dinner was delivered.

“Hey.”

Instead of answering, I raised my right eyebrow slightly.

Because I couldn’t answer Harang’s words right now, as a crispy tonkatsu was entering my mouth.

Basasak- Basasak-

The crispy batter crumbling.

The soft flesh felt beyond that.

The faint aroma of frying filled my mouth, and the unique sweet taste of the tonkatsu sauce stimulated my tongue.

“Go to bed early today.”

Go to bed early?

Why all of a sudden?

I frowned and chewed the tonkatsu in my mouth.

It was too late to pretend to be a good older brother who cares about his younger sister now.

“I don’t want to.”

“You’re going to high school tomorrow. Are you going to bury your head on your desk and sleep as soon as you get there?”

I put down the fork I was bringing to my mouth at those words.

If I buried my head on my desk and slept from the first day of high school, I would definitely look like a crazy bitch.

If I were an ordinary student, that is.

But I’m a pretty girl. A very cute pretty girl.

So the teachers would definitely let me sleep during class.

Because I’m pretty.

Of course, that wasn’t the only reason.

I was good at studying even when I only slept.

“Isn’t it enough if I get good grades on the exams?”

“You’re saying someone who only sleeps during class gets good grades on the exams?”

“Yeah.”

I could be confident because I had my report card.

Harang was dumbfounded by my confident appearance, but secretly reached out and shoved the sirloin tonkatsu he received as a service into his mouth.

The action was so secretive and quick that I could only watch helplessly as the tonkatsu disappeared.

“Y, you pig bastard!”

“You’re slow.”

I reached out urgently, but I couldn’t take back the tonkatsu that had already entered his mouth.

Harang stood up from his seat with a sly smile.

To think he’d distract me and snatch the tonkatsu.

He was truly an evil and devilish guy.

“Hmm…”

Harang, who had stuffed his mouth full of tonkatsu, went up to the sofa and continued.

“Are you really good at studying?”

I nodded confidently.

Most of what the teachers said during class was full of things I couldn’t understand, but when I took the exams, I always got top scores.

Aren’t there kids who seem to be good at studying but get low scores on the exams?

Then there’s also the opposite.

That was me.

Isn’t that what you call a practical type?

The more I thought about it, the more amazing it was.

To not lose my school grades while handling the murderous schedule in Deron.

Could it be that I had an incredible talent for studying hidden within me?

At this point, I started to get scared of myself.

I’m scared. Me.

“Are you thinking some dumb shit again?”

“Am not.”

“Whatever. Clear the table and log into Deron. I cleaned up last time, so it’s your turn this time.”

I nodded at Harang’s words and checked the clock on the wall.

The raid appointment time was approaching.

“Then I’ll go first.”

“Okay…”

I watched Harang, who had left the living room, and shoved a mouthful of tonkatsu into my mouth.

I was happily chewing on the crunchy tonkatsu.

I could see that the place where Harang had been sitting was very dirty.

As if he had broken the tonkatsu with his fist, batter was scattered messily around, and the pickles that came as a side dish were stuck flat on the table.

“Hey!!!”

I called out to Harang at the terrible sight, but as expected, there was no answer.

The happy feeling of eating a lot of delicious tonkatsu disappears in an instant.

What began to replace that was murderous intent toward my one and only brother.

“Crazy bastard…”

But what could I do? All a powerless pretty girl younger sister could do was curse her one and only brother and grab a wet wipe.

I was cleaning up the messy table and heading to my room.

Harang, who should have gone into the room first and logged into Deron, was coming out of the room with a sly smile on his face.

He found me and immediately opened his mouth.

“Hey, you’re in big trouble…?”

“Big trouble…? Did Deron announce the end of service or something?”

“No, there’s an emergency hotfix?”

“Hotfix…?”

Harang said that and held out his phone screen to me.

[Emergency Hotfix Inspection Notice]

Estimated inspection time 7~10 PM [3 hours]

Hotfix details

A phenomenon in which the synergy between certain races and jobs is being applied in a way that is different from the developer’s intention.

A phenomenon in which the skill is not interrupted when the user does not move and another user moves the user when using skills in the ‘Magic’ ‘Continuous Use’ category.

If you are a user with a job whose skills are changed by this patch, you will be given a [Rank Reset Ticket] item.

“What is this…?”

“What else could it be? It’s the story of the death sentence being handed down to Yeon-gongju.”

“Th, th-that…”

I frowned at Harang’s face.

This can’t be happening.

I haven’t even cleared the raid yet, and the repurchase cooldown for the rank reset ticket hasn’t even come back yet…

I ran into my room, denying reality.

But what Harang showed me was the unadulterated truth.

I was lying on the bed, holding my phone in my hand, and kept looking at Deron’s announcements.

Actually, it was something I expected.

But the timing was too early.

It’s only been a day since I changed jobs, hasn’t it?

I thought I could at least hold out until I cleared the raid.

I sighed and started tapping on my phone.

If I have nothing to do, my fingers naturally move to access the Deron Gallery.

The same is true now.

There was a task that I checked first when I accessed the gallery.

It was to search for my alias in the gallery.

There were too many overlapping parts when searching with the nickname Yeon, so it was an unavoidable choice.

[Today’s armpit collection] [23]

The content uploaded to the gallery was always similar.

But there were noticeable words among them.

Piss-take build.

I checked the popular posts in the gallery, wondering if it was possible.

Then, sure enough. The content about the build that I had told the guild members was posted here.

There were 40 people. Since I didn’t ask them to keep it a secret, it was only natural that it would be leaked.

I thought of Snow Mage and tapped on my phone screen.

Me – [Snow-nim?]

Snow Mage – [Yes!!!]

Me – [Did you see the announcement by any chance?]

Snow Mage – [Yes, I saw it. I guess we can’t do the raid today?]

Me – [Are you okay? I’m sorry for revealing the build…]

Snow Mage – [It was somewhat intentional. I was actually curious. I was wondering if the operators were watching all the users.]

Me – [Huh?]

Snow Mage – [If they were monitoring all the top-ranked users, they would have patched it right away when Blood Demon King-nim caught Crow, right? But they just let it go.]

Me – [That’s true…]

Snow Mage – [So I looked at the reaction with a bait build. Since my prediction was correct, I think I can use a new build.]

I tilted my head at Snow Mage’s words.

Looking at her reaction, it seemed like she had predicted this situation and thrown out bait.

By the way, a new build.

Could it be that she had been preparing another build separately that she hadn’t told me about?

Me – [Is that also a True Blood build?]

Snow Mage – [Yes, as long as the job skill Blood Demon Magic isn’t modified, it can still be used. If it’s modified, I’ll have to go back to the original build.]

I sighed in relief at Snow Mage’s answer.

If she’s okay, then it’s okay.

Me – [Are you going to reveal that build?]

Snow Mage – [No? I’m never going to reveal this one. Only Blood Demon King-nim can use it.]

Me – [Heok…]
