A Saturday in early June, with the sun gradually getting warmer.

The Funforge official game room in the student center was busy again today.

I have to prepare for final exams starting next week, so today is the only time I can play games comfortably.

With that thought in mind, Emily Sigma put down the models.

The Blue Dragon crew that gave her second place in the last competition.

About 20 models, led by Blue Dragon Housemaster Abarion, are waiting to be launched.

Well, the paint is a little crooked so the eyes take up half of the face, but it’s okay.

But she soon faced an important problem.

“I didn’t make an appointment for the game… ”

A romantic era where each game takes an average of 2 hours.

In other words, the waiting time is too long to go up to the opponent who has finished the game and suggest, ‘Do you want to play a game with me now?’ while fighting at the game room.

Therefore, students began to divide their day into four and make regular appointments.

No. 1 (morning), No. 2 (after lunch), No. 3 (3-4 p.m.), No. 4 (after dinner).

Emily also tried to contact me here and there to schedule game number 2, but-

‘My midterm score wasn’t very good, so I think I should start studying for the final exam early.’

‘Oh, I have other game plans.’

‘note… Haha, what can I say. ‘I’ve been doing so much of the romantic era lately, I’m getting sick of it!’

In the end, I couldn’t make an appointment because they kept saying things like this.

But it doesn’t matter. Game number 2 takes place a lot.

It’s the perfect time to play a game after lunch.

Just then, I saw a pair of first-year Kuroshio students, a man and a woman, shaking hands after finishing game one.

Emily excitedly ran towards them.

“Is the game over?”

“Huh? Uh, yeah… ”

“Then, do you want to play the next game with me?”

The two people exchanged glances and spoke in one voice.

“Because I have to eat lunch.”

“Ah… I guess so. Then, let’s come back after lunch!

I’ll be waiting!”

“Hmm… ”

A male student says while rolling his eyes.

“Oh, I have a game plan at time slot 3.

But I thought it would be too tight if I played the second game… ”

Umm. I guess it will work if I put it in well…

The female student also slightly lowered her head as if she was sorry.

“I’m going to stop here today. Study in the afternoon. Bye then!”

“That… okay… ”

Emily scratched her head.

Is there anyone else…

I offered it to people who had just entered the game room, but most of them just said that they already had an appointment.

What caught Emily’s eye while she was pondering whether she should sit still and watch until the third hour was-

“Uh… ”

A Baekyang 0th grade student looking around while holding a freshly painted student council crew.

Emily shouted happily and ran to him.

“Hello?”

“Hello.”

“Is this your first time?”

“Yes.”

“Do you want to play a round with me?”

People who were playing the game slowly raised their heads and looked at them.

But neither Emily nor the 0th grade students had any clue to notice that.

“Uh… Aren’t you too good to do it with me?

He won the Mini Cup and came second in the Romantic Festival -”

“Ah! I’ll take good care of you!

If you do the same thing with a beginner, will it work if you both don’t know the rules?”

“I guess so.”

My junior agreed.

The two immediately went to an empty table and started cleaning up.

“Uh, um. Let me take a look at the rule book. For official battles, select a grand strategy and then-”

“Just make it an annihilation battle. I’m busy learning, but what kind of grand strategy is this?”

“Ah, is that so… I thought it was really cool to score points while dodging everything… ”

“For now, let’s just learn the rules for the first game. Don’t focus on winning or losing.”

“Okay.”

And two hours later, Emily’s overwhelming victory.

It is natural to do so. Experience is experience, but just looking at the composition of the crew makes a big difference.

Emily was slow on her feet, but used an aura-based combination with excellent firepower and durability.

They lack operational ability because they have to stick together, but they are the best in hard-hitting head-on battles.

On the other hand, what the junior brought was a romantic crew called the Student Council Avengers.

The main members of the crew, Lilac Bonnet, Cleo Macariel, and Coleman Cantor, are a unit that is strong in scoring battles, not a unit that is strong in close combat.

“I won. Well, of course.”

“Yes… ”

“Spread your energy. Basically, you learn by losing the first game.

I also lost to Angela at first, hahaha!”

“Me?”

A quiet but firm voice.

Emily jumped up in surprise.

When I looked back-

“Ah, Angela. long time no see. Unfortunately, I couldn’t meet you during the festival of romance.”

“Yes… ”

“Uh, do you want to play?”

“I made an appointment for the game in advance.”

Emily pouted, saying, “If you do anything, you have an appointment,” but Emily soon found out that Angela wasn’t lying.

“What! Why are you here!”

The person who came to play a game with Angela was a first-year student from Blue Dragon who refused her game offer, saying that she was tired of the romantic era.

“Uh… I just changed my mind… ”

A motivation to smile awkwardly.

Emily, who was snorting, soon discovered an even more shocking sight.

Today, I saw the female student Kuroshio who said she was doing this and the senior who said she was studying for final exams diligently rolling the dice at another table…

“What is this? Why are you two playing a game?

They said they were studying!”

“Uh, um… ”

The two scratch their heads without any intention of making excuses, and then return to the game.

After Angela swallowed back her tears, she turned around and headed towards the other person.

Gygax Rung watches other players’ games while taking notes.

“Marquis Rong.”

“Hmm?”

Gygax hastily put away the note he was writing.

“Would you like to have a game with me?”

“… Because I’m tired. Today I’m just going to watch.”

“And then, are you going to do it with someone else?”

“No, it’s not like that-”

“Don’t be funny! Why do you keep making excuses? Why is everyone lying!”

Silent crowd.

Meanwhile, someone came towards Emily, whistling.

Baekyang 4th grade representative, Cappuccine.

“Ah, Emily. Please be careful.”

“… What?”

“Do you think there is anyone here who would like to hang out with you?”

Cappuccine pushes her away by poking her chest.

Emily looked around.

But no one came forward.

Everyone just stares quietly…

“Ugh!”

Emily runs out of the game room crying.

Unfortunately, instead of going downstairs, she climbed the stairs to the upper floor and-

——————————————————————————————

Anyway, that’s why Emily is in front of me now.

“I’ve corrected everything that was pointed out…

Now I don’t carelessly touch other people’s models, I don’t eat snacks with powder on them at the game room, and I’ve finished painting them…

But why don’t you play games with me, ugh… ”

It’s been like this for 10 minutes already.

If there had been a chairman, he would have done something to appease Emily or kick her out…

Unfortunately, Chairman Lilac is busy running around trying to clean up the last kidnapping incident.

There are only three people in the student council room right now: me, Cleo, and Hwayoung.

Since everyone is in the same grade, there is no way for Emily to be upset like this.

For now, Hwayoung is comforting her a little… It’s not something that can solve the problem…

Please someone come!

As if in answer to my prayers, the door burst open.

“Now, things-”

“Black… Black… ”

The vice president closes his beak and looks at Emily.

His head looking back at us.

Our gaze towards him.

Tangaroa turned around and tried to run away, but-

pop!

The brush wielded by Hwayoung summons strangely shaped rocks from the air.

“Where are you going, Vice President?”

“Uh, urgent. Something urgent… ”

“Vice President.”

I said, squeezing his shoulder.

“As a Blue Dragon senior, shouldn’t you help your juniors?”

“… No, that.”

A platypus caught without a move.

He had no choice but to listen to all of Emily’s complaints.

“So… so… ”

“So, Vice President. What do you think?”

The vice president, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed with a sullen expression, dug his ear and threw it away.

“What do you think?

It’s your freedom not to play games with people you don’t like.”

“What did I do so wrong!”

Emily tries to lash out at Tangaroa’s cold attitude, but-

“Hey, Emily.”

“Yes?”

“Yes? I say it again. Emily.”

“6… 64th Emily Sigma.”

“Do I have to explain to you one by one what you did wrong?

I’m a freshman now, so if you think it’s me- Wow!”

When Hwayoung and I immediately pinched the back of her neck, Tangaroa had no choice but to scream and loosen her legs.

There is no shortage of marine literature here at Funforge, am!

“Vice President. Please don’t play with rank and show some sincerity.

I think I’ll need the vice president’s help to mediate between Emily and the students.”

“… Haha.”

He was clicking his beak and then raised his hand as if he couldn’t do anything.

“Let’s go down first.

Let’s check how much karma this bastard has accumulated.”
