I Became the Villain’s Childhood Friend

86 – [2] I’ll follow you even if I die

#086

“What?”

I always hesitated.

I couldn’t keep my fingers still.

It seemed that the emotions of failure were visible.

Also, I had an intuition that I would ask for something.

“Just be honest. Anyway, whether you say it now or later, it’s the same, right?”

“Then… ….”

I caught my breath.

I opened my mouth slowly.

“Could you take me to the academy placement test?”

Academy Placement Test.

It was a test to check your skills before entering school.

However, it can also be said that we have not already taken the test.

However, the entrance exam and the placement exam were completely separate.

The entrance exam is a measurement for determining successful applicants.

The placement test is a kind of line-up test and level check test.

The composition of the two tests was somewhat different.

If the entrance exam had a ‘filtering’ feeling, the placement test was more like a ‘confirming’ one.

To put it simply, the placement test was a bit more practical.

On the one hand, it was much more arduous and difficult.

There are two reasons for taking the test.

First.

In order to build up the capabilities of aspiring hunters step by step.

Those who score low here will receive a relatively low level of education.

On the other hand, those with high results will receive a relatively high level of education.

It was a plan to minimize those who fall behind without countermeasures.

In this way, there will be fewer disasters where the last in the school receive an extremely difficult education.

Second.

There are too many types of entrance exams.

There are screenings that are only for minorities, some with a high percentage of writing, some with high scores in exchange for donations, and some with exemptions from certain measures.

Of course, it was difficult to say that the values derived from this situation were very reliable.

It was obvious what would happen if the assignment results were discarded with these values.

The mindless East Asians go straight to the bottom out of nowhere.

Those who benefited from the positive preferential treatment went directly to the EX level lecture.

The children of rich families who were going to be sent to the academy of judicial education are forced to drop out after being torn apart.

In fact, it was the completion of a world where everyone is unhappy.

A world like that shouldn’t have existed.

“Hmm?”

“No matter how much I think about it, I think I will ruin the exam by myself… ….”

“After all, it’s a test where four people are tied together in a group, right? If you have that skill, I think you can fully assist the crew members.”

“No, that…… Rather than being randomly assigned to a group, I think it would be better to join a group of people you know…….”

“Do you know?”

That’s why, unlike the entrance exam, it had the characteristic of being tied into a group of four.

In the case of Joe, people were gathered in advance, or if there were no people to gather, the academy matched the combination and randomly placed them.

Obviously, it was much better to gather people rather than randomly.

This was the only unfair part of the test.

“Actually, the reason I asked to meet you this time was because I was in such a hurry… ….”

I stared at Shannon.

She seemed hunched over and servile, and looked very pitiful.

This meant stupidity.

Shannon didn’t have to come out with that attitude.

‘I don’t even know the real world.’

Just seeing how she used water school magic the other day, her ability was sufficient.

With that level of ability, it would have been easy to join another group that had an empty seat.

A reckless low profile like now was an act of underestimating one’s abilities.

In a good way, it was honest, and in a bad way, it was a hogu.

I gently caught the public.

“What would you do if I had already gathered the jowon?”

“Yes? Seriously, isn’t there a seat left?!?”

After a while, he calmly took a business card out of his pocket.

– Affiliation: Future Human Resources Division, Military Hunter Department

– Name: Kang Xian

“What?”

Belongs to a company.

This meant that there was a high possibility that the group with the person in the company who passed the exam would be confirmed soon.

Even the road I believed was blocked.

Shannon put on a look close to her teary-eyed face, and she sank into despair.

“…… I didn’t say there weren’t any seats.”

But he seemed to be thinking about something wrong.

The skills of the kids on Nartika’s side were so low that only me, 1,000, and 1,000 relatives passed the test.

Moreover, I wasn’t completely part of Nartika.

He only had the parachute position of a temporary chief hunter for easy tax handling, and he was always an outsider.

“Yes, then!”

“I can’t just put you in there.”

Of course, having a seat left and being inserted were two different things.

Especially for those who played a significant role in the game.

Shannon has been a friend of the main character since their academy days.

I didn’t know what would happen if I took her in here.

The main character’s mental growth while living in the academy could not have a positive effect.

Perhaps the main character could have lived alone and only had a lot of negative influences, and the taste could have gone bad.

Considering that we often talked about the past in the game where we dated at the academy and then broke up, the possibility existed.

If my spirit was extremely weakened due to a breakup or something else, I would be defeated by the World Tree no matter how much I hunted down the candidates for the hero.

Then, the thousand will return.

I will become a slave or die.

‘Still, it’s very unrealistic.’

Of course, this was always about the worst of the worst of the worst.

Before things got twisted like that, there was no particular problem if I intervened.

Moreover, if you think about it again, there was a question about whether it would go that far if left unattended.

There were also doubts that it would be better to intervene from the beginning.

‘Wouldn’t it be okay if I just induced Shannon to become friends with the main character?’

‘No, rather, this Irish country girl would become a burden.’

‘Wouldn’t it be better for me to control Shannon to some extent?’

Anyway, I am friendly with Shannon, and Shannon is also friendly with the main character.

Then I really had a reason to bring this or that opportunity to the main character.

Of course, it could have been a big help to catch the candidates for the future and go to a happy ending.

It wasn’t bad, except for how to find the main character.

That’s why I didn’t have to be cold.

Better treat this lizard well and boil it—

“Uh, why… ….”

“Shannon, why would you want to join my group over other groups?”

“Since Xian is strong…….”

“This is an overestimation. There are many people who are stronger than me.”

“Since the only person I know at the academy is Xian… ….”

“If you know someone, you can make it. There are a lot of people recruiting on the Internet anyway.”

“… ….”

But it won’t happen right away.

Why should he be honest when he overrevealed his situation and thoughts?

“Moreover, if you say it suddenly like this time, it’s hard for me to accept it. There is also the position of my members.”

“Ah… ….”

There was even an emotional appeal and no self-PR.

It was like the other person was not able to openly reveal their weaknesses, so they robbed me.

I have a conscience, so I won’t ask for too much, but I thought I’d pack something just in case.

“In the first place, when we form the same group, we sometimes discuss the fighting method. Shannon-san’s fighting style—”

“I’m sorry.”

A word that came out of melancholy and crying.

Shannon stood up.

I just wanted her to leave.

If that was the case, it would be rather bad.

The moment I thought I should stop looking at liver.

A pale white palm wrapped around my palm.

“Really, really, just this time, can you help me? I need to get that scholarship. If I can’t get a scholarship like this, I can’t go to the academy…….”

“Scholarship?”

“Xian-san, you are very strong. You just catch a squire. Among the students I have seen, there is not a single person stronger than Mr. Xian.”

“No, that is… ….”

“If you accept it, I will do anything. I will listen carefully to your plans and words. If it doesn’t work out.”

Immediately, the words were cut off.

My mouth was closed as if I was embarrassed to say something.

I stared at Shannon.

The lobe of the ear was gradually turning red.

“If not?”

“That, that…… Even me…….”

I only heard the first part, but I thought I knew what he was trying to say.

It was an absurd answer in many ways.

I let out a deep sigh.

Then, as if not, she shook her head.

“Don’t say things like that. How strange it would look if someone with good skills did that.”

“But… ….”

“So. If you don’t want to hear this nagging, please follow me without making any nonsense. You know?”

“Yes?”

“Because our fighting style is on the right side. Don’t be too scared when fighting.”

“Wait a minute. Maybe-“

“Ah, I will tell my teammates in their own way. You don’t have to worry too much about Joe.”

Sudden consent.

It was just a random statement before it got further twisted.

What I needed anyway was a heartfelt declaration that she was listening to me.

I had no intention of robbing Shannon of anything petty.

Of course, conditions much better than expected made her face lively.

Shannon’s expression, which was about to die, widened.

“Yes! Yes Even if it means dying, I will follow Xian’s words!”

“Even if I die, I don’t have to follow you. Just follow me in moderation.”

“No! I’m in such a big debt, of course…….”

I immediately covered her mouth.

I shook my head.

“Shannon, what did I say earlier?”

“Uh…… Do you want me to obey you?”

“Then what should I do when I say this?”

“No more…… You shouldn’t ask.”

“Because I am not such a petty person. Just do it and pass it on. Did you know?”

She nodded.

She gave her a good pat on the shoulder.

After a while, the waiter brought out the food.

At the splendor itself, Shannon couldn’t stand it until she cried and ranted about thanking her and repaying her favor.

Repetition of useless words.

But it was also a proof that she would act within her will and command during her test.

That was enough.

‘But what about the remaining seat?’
