When I left Do Yu-geon’s room and arrived in the living room, I saw Yumina. I was lying on the sofa, so I put my legs aside and sat down.

“There’s a problem with education these days.”

“Why all of a sudden?”

Yumina looked puzzled.

“At a time when we can see the widest world, we are only showing a narrow world. It is inefficient and irrational.”

“Is that so? Education is civic education and an essential procedure to maintain the continuity of society. Although it can only teach shallow knowledge without experience, it can be taken into account because it is a limitation of modern education.”

The answer I got back was so absurd that I looked at Yumina. What is he saying? It’s absurd to hear a runaway teenager say something like this. No, before he was a runaway teenager, he is now a mafia boss.

“What are the extenuating circumstances? Education these days distorts the job market and promotes inefficiency and irrationality. Efficiency based on a market economy must first be premised on freedom. Due to social pressure, talented people only gather in biased occupations, but there is no efficiency there. “Where is this?”

This is a society that only focuses on good universities, but there is no way that job distribution can be done efficiently.

“If you gather only the kids who are good at studying and ask them to name about 30 occupations, you’ll end up with a bunch of kids who can’t do it. If you talk about doctors, judges, prosecutors, lawyers, and scientists, your speaking will slowly slow down. The smart kids will say each field of study one by one. “We may increase the number, but education is making us look at the world too narrowly.”

The most vicious part is that the absolute amount of knowledge memorized is so large that it makes one think that one has a wide knowledge of the world. It gets even more absurd when you enter college, but after learning only basic academic knowledge quickly for four years, you end up graduating with the illusion that you have become an expert. When you are a high school student, you mistakenly think you know the world, and when you are a college student, you mistakenly believe you have a deep knowledge of academics. The fundamentals of education are just wrong.

Yumina sobbed.

“Why is our lady angry?”

“what?”

“It’s strange if you say something like that when you normally urge Do Yoo-geon to stop doing unnecessary things and study.”

“It’s a normal criticism to say it’s strange. According to research results, the majority of adults think education is strange and should be changed.”

Yumina smiled sinisterly and looked at Do Yoo-geon’s room.

“Did Do Yu-geon kick you out because you had to study?”

“I wasn’t kicked out, I came out. I can’t disturb you while you’re studying.”

I don’t know if that important study is more important than Cha Ha-neul. Do Yoo-geon needs to know that his future depends on this side. Even if you study hard, you will still be an employee of a certain company, but this company can do a lot for you if you want. Network management is the most important thing in social life, but you don’t know it. This is what high school students are like. This is the same high school student, but whatever. As a high school student, all I know is studying.

“This was your fault.”

“What did I do?”

“It’s so insidious to keep encouraging someone to stop doing useless things and just study, but then expect them to pay attention because they’re actually trying to study.”

Yumina laughed and poked his side. No, it’s you who is insidious. I twisted my body to avoid it.

“I think I just said it, but I came out because I thought it would interfere with my studies. I didn’t get kicked out.”

“I see.”

It’s annoying to hear someone subtly talking longer. Yumina is in trouble because she is trying to somehow tie Do Yoo-gun and this problem into a love affair. Since I don’t have any childhood friends, I’m living in a fantasy. A childhood friend is just a childhood friend. However, since he is busy with work and cannot date, he tries to provide vicarious satisfaction. I was like that even before I got busy, so I guess it’s just my nature.

“Oh, girl, look at this.”

Yumina picked up her cell phone. The video was playing, and it was an introductory knitting video.

“Why is this?”

“You said before that you were having trouble making high-grade items because it was blocked.”

Was it like that? When I looked back on my memories, I remembered talking to Yumina because I hated reading books. It seems like there’s too much talking these days. Is it really puberty? … .

“It was stuck. It was possible to copy the magic given to an E-class item, but it actually wasn’t possible. The production process itself was different from the F-class. Unlike the F-class, which was given to the finished product, the E-class had magic applied to it during the production process. It seemed like I had to get involved, but I’m not good at sewing or smelting, so that’s the end of it.”

“So, I looked for it for our lady! How about trying knitting?”

Yumina touched the video. A video about knitting that even a beginner can do was played. Is the item mass produced? I’m not attracted to it. Yes. I’m sure it seemed interesting before, but I’m not really interested in it. Has your passion cooled because it feels like the area that was a magician’s dream has shifted to the area of engineering? I like feeling like an archmage, but I don’t want to be an engineer. The former feels like playing a game, and the latter feels like working.

Aside from that, it seems like I just don’t want to do anything. As I became a high school student, I felt like my body was heavy and my stamina was lacking. Was this always like that? anyway. Life is tiring and living is tiring.

As I was watching the video with blank eyes, Yumina grabbed my shoulder.

“I know you don’t know, but knitting is fun!”

“Thank you for your sincerity, but it doesn’t seem very interesting. I’d rather read a book.”

I could try mass producing E-class items by enchanting them while knitting, but I’m not very interested in them. Let’s just use the item gacha and pick it up. If you have money, you should spend it.

“Do Yu-geon will like it if you give it to him as a gift!”

Yumina said triumphantly.

“Why is she here?”

It’s absurd.

“But knitting is most romantic when you prepare it as a gift to someone.”

“I know your taste well.”

“Imagine making a scarf yourself and giving it as a gift. Do Yu-geon will love it!”

They tell me to imagine everything. Actually, I think you’ll like it. Who is giving it as a gift? Umm. I studied hard while ignoring my childhood friend, but my childhood friend actually gave me a scarf after all my efforts. Every time I see the scarf, I wonder if I will regret the cold treatment I received.

Yes… … .

“Are you interested?”

Yumina looked at me with her eyes shining.

“You too are truly sincere.”

“It’s your job, young lady.”

“It’s hard for people who are popular.”

I swept my hair up. My neck was exposed and I could feel the air.

Well, you have to mass-produce the item. It would be a waste to just leave this good number alone. In the future, Cha Ha-neul will definitely regret the wasted time and suffer greatly, so it is a good thing to do it in advance.

Day? Work? Suddenly, I feel like my motivation is shrinking like a deflated balloon. Oh, I don’t want to work. Why should we, the teenagers, care about the future Cha Ha-neul, the adult? Adults should act like adults and do their own thing.

But I think it would be a good idea to make at least a scarf. It’s not that difficult, but that’s not a bad thing. If I don’t try making a scarf at a time like this when I have so much time, when will I ever make one? I feel motivated.

I took Yumina’s cell phone and watched the video. Let’s make just one scarf and call it a day.

* * *

There is a lot of discussion about whether the system exists for humanity or has other purposes. These days, I’m not particularly interested in looking for it, but according to what Do Yu-geon told me, that’s the case.

First of all, the argument that it is for the benefit of humanity is currently dominant, and there are many reasons, but one of them is the hunting ground of the system. The fact that a safe hunting ground where resurrection is possible is provided is strong evidence in itself. It’s a place where it’s obvious that a huge amount of resources will be consumed, but preparations are made as if it were a given.

However, the fact that something like item gacha is actually operating properly makes me tilt my head. It doesn’t match, as if someone had painted ink on an otherwise normal painting. Should I say that it was as if a puddle of clean water had been turned into mud by a loach struggling?

Aside from those flaws, the fact that the level 75 hunting ground is a forest of buildings is quite suggestive. It’s interesting to look at them one by one. Why Hyundai? Why fight and destroy modern buildings as much as you want? I could think about it in depth, but I don’t want to because I’m in puberty and life is hard these days. Adults will take care of it.

I took a deep breath and looked straight ahead. The one-eyed giant, Cyclops, screamed. The swinging streetlight grazed the concrete ground.

In that moment, Do Yoo-geon grabbed hold of the streetlight, climbed on top, and sprinted away. The sword energy wavered along with the leap. The sword flashed. The single eye split open and golden powder exploded. A huge hand grabbed the single eye. A scream rang out through the city.

Taking advantage of that opportunity, the sword split his head. The gigantic body stumbled and scattered into golden dust. Do Yu-geon spun and landed in the golden powder.

I sighed deeply. Why are you doing such a dangerous thing? I often sparred with my grandfather, and my fighting style became more extreme. Regardless of the risk, there are no injuries, but from my perspective, it is not a good idea.

Do Yu-geon made eye contact in the landing position and grinned. I feel proud of my own skills that have grown. I’m proud, I’m proud.

It looked fine, but I went closer and checked to see if there were any injuries and sighed.

“Can’t I just study?”

The absurd look returned.

what.

If you’re really dissatisfied, why don’t you call me a lady?
