The Academy’s Time Limit in a Novel Written by a Friend

35 – Episode 35 King Ari of Gakkademi. (2)

It’s not a strange place to say it’s a designated place, it’s just an ordinary cafe.

First of all, I sent a text saying that I would be there by what time, so I wouldn’t have mixed up, but since I didn’t know who the culprit was, I didn’t know which table to sit at.

“Ah, Mr. Sohyeon is here.”

Thankfully, however, my worries were in vain.

The culprit wasn’t even covering his face, and he was a very unknown person.

The opponent who waved at me as if we had made an appointment was a woman who briefly turned her face away at the entrance ceremony.

A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, but in this world where there are many good men and women, she has a face that doesn’t stand out much, and a calm girl with her long hair braided into two pigtails.

I think her name was Chae Yoo-jin.

“It’s been a while. How you doing?”

“Oh, I think today would have been a more rewarding and enjoyable day if it wasn’t for you.”

And when I knew who the culprit was, I decided to go a little harder.

It’s a national rule that a character with such a calm impression comes out strong to an opponent who looks down on him.

“Huh? Are you mad?”

“Then, of course. If you’re like me, you’ve been threatened, but don’t you look angry?”

“Are you really mad?”

She showed me the screen of her smartphone.

There, the Holy Sword class group chat was open, and a picture of her courtesy could be sent with a single tap of her finger.

Yes.

I forgot about it for a while, but this year was different from what it looked like and was worse than I thought.

“One last question, are you really mad at me?”

“Eh, no. How dare I.”

It’s servile, but I don’t know if it’s only me, but I didn’t want Professor Cathy to get caught up in gossip.

“Thank God. I was worried that Sohyeon would be angry because I called her a bit forcefully.”

What is it? Are you Psycho Passon?

Perhaps I have unleashed the seeds of evil into the world that should have died that day.

“You don’t like the expression?”

First of all, I decided to smile as requested.

“Well, now it’s worth watching. Don’t go around with an impression. Looking at it, the original version looks fine, but it looks ugly because the expression is ferocious.”

“You really are. Do you have a great personality?”

“This is the first time I’ve heard such a compliment. Anyway, it can be understood that you showed up at the meeting place to mean that you are willing to listen to my request unconditionally, right?”

“Do you know the word sociality?”

“My hands have been a bit slippery lately.”

“Your communication skills are amazing. Do I have a choice in the first place?”

“Of course. As long as you can fully handle the consequences of refusal.”

I really didn’t like the style of attacking the opponent mercilessly just because I had the upper hand, but it was this side that caught my weakness.

“Ah, there is no use trying to catch me now. I have backed up my photos.”

“Okay, let’s listen first. What do you want to ask of me? If it’s money, depending on the amount, I’ll give it to you after you succeed in taxation, so could you look over it?”

“Who do you see as a bully? I have no intention of taking the money yet.”

“Is there a long term…?”

“No one knows what will happen in the world, right?”

It was not an ordinary bitch.

No, how could this be the moving of an extra character that doesn’t even appear in the original work?

“First of all, you should accept the question. As I said last time, I can’t stand it when I have questions.”

“Yes, it will take a while for the first part, but I will answer as much as possible.”

“Are you dating Professor Cathy?”

“hahahaha, that is a perfect misunderstanding for male classmates to get stabbed on the street. It’s absolutely not, so don’t go anywhere and say things like that.”

“Do you have proof?”

“I got the arms folded right away because the professor took them for just 3 seconds as a joke, and the movie was just shown to me as a reward for helping me look at the point shop, right?”

Actually, I only bought the popcorn, but what about it? How do you know

“In the world, if you do it between a man and a woman, it’s called a date, right? Are you going to keep running away?”

“Ugh, how can you talk like a man and a woman between a teacher and a student!”

You treat me like a younger brother, but that could be the case between a master and a disciple, right?

“Ah, then it won’t be a problem if I spread this picture? You will be innocent.”

“But sometimes the truth loses its power in the face of demagoguery.”

“You say I am shameless, but did you know that you have as thick facial skin as me?”

For a moment she looked at me dumbfounded, but the truth was that she wasn’t dating.

“Ah, they really don’t date. In the first place, I became close with Professor Cathy because of an incident. Is he the kind of person who would go out with a cadet?”

“…Isn’t it? I am not one of those people.”

Also, it’s kind of like that because I admit it so easily.

Professor Cathy herself is a popular person with a good reputation among the cadets, but shouldn’t a character like this originally hate bright people and peel people’s pumpkin seeds in the dark?

“I know that.”

Of course I won’t say it in words.

“Did you think it was strange?”

“Isn’t it? Do you have any proof?”

“…Well, anyway, that part is good. Next, this is the main topic, but let’s make a club with me.”

“…What?”

“Did you not hear? Ah, it doesn’t matter if it’s a ghost member. All you have to do is sign up. It’s not difficult, is it?”

Yes, it is not difficult.

As for how difficult it was, it was so difficult that I didn’t even have to say this while threatening.

So I was a bit puzzled.

“What kind of club are you going to make? Aren’t there already clubs related to reading and writing?”

“I knew very well what kind of image you have of me, but I don’t.”

“Then what is it?”

“Does it matter? I can’t refuse anyway. Just say you’re joining, and you can sign up later?”

“Oh, then why the hell are you pretending to give me options that don’t exist anyway?”

She hesitated for a moment, as if her speech was blocked, but she finally spoke up.

“An observation club.”

“…An observation club? What an observation.”

“Just this and that. Observe monsters and look for information about heroes. Then, from time to time, I also watch the life of the cadets.”

“Oh, so you want to stalk, but you want to make an official reason?”

“Who said that! You said sometimes!”

In the novels I’ve read so far, the real purpose of most of the words a kid like you says is to put them at the end.

I’m guessing you’re trying to get points by making some achievements through club activities.

“Are you going to do it anyway?”

Anyway, he seems to think that I will do it, but seeing him act as he pleases up to this point, I got a little heartbroken.

“But I refuse.”

“Yeah, so that’s right…yes?”

“Clearly refusing orders from a guy who thinks he has the absolute upper hand, that is also one of Kang So-hyun’s favorite things!”

As we adapted and threw a famous line from a certain cartoon, Chae Yoo-jin’s expression rotted in an instant.

“It’s a good cartoon, but I don’t think you understand the situation right now.”

No, you know what kind of drip this is…? No, before that, is that manga also over here?

“No way. We do not negotiate with terrorists. Isn’t that basic?”

“You treat someone as a terrorist. It’s just a simple request.”

“Right. It’s a simple request. But you have the wrong attitude.”

“What is it?”

“If I was going to ask for a simple favor, I should have just asked for it instead of threatening you with a secretly taken photo. Why do I have to accept that you are trying to take advantage of your weaknesses and act as you please?”

“Yes. Of course…”

“Of course what? Is it because I have a weakness? Spray if you want to spray. Instead, you will have to take care of the back. The students who like Professor Cathy will try to kill me, of course, but you will also try to kill the professor who insults him.”

“Ah…”

“You really have no social skills whatsoever? It’s like showing your face while threatening me. Haven’t you thought about taking care of yourself?”

“But Sohyeon won’t listen to me even if I ask for it normally.”

“How do you know that?”

“When I asked you to ask one question, you told me to stop because you didn’t like it.”

Aha, now that I think about it, even if I think of him as that kind of person, he has nothing to say.

Anyway, Chae Yoo-jin seems to have had her own reasons.

But I don’t regret it.

Looking at what you’re doing now, you’re a troublesome bitch, just like I thought at the time.

And above all.

“Why did you do this to me in the first place? Don’t you have any friends?”

If it wasn’t for real, it’s a situation where I’ve blown away a bit, but fortunately, I denied it while glaring at me annoyedly.

“Because I have friends too?”

I can’t imagine having a friend with that kind of personality. How much does the friend fee go down?

“Then do it with them.”

“They will come too. I still need your help.”

“Then why?”

“You are friends with the student representative. That one.”

“…Huh? Illak? Or Cheonyuhak?”

“Both.”

Well…? Illak and I can be said to be like friends, but Cheonyuhak calls me a friend, isn’t it?

“I feel like if I want to observe them, I have to get to know them.”

“…So, do you want me to introduce myself?”

“Yes.”

It was a poor female supporting character who ended up getting caught in a trap thrown by the main characters after doing something.

“…You seem to be thinking strange things right now?”

“Not really? I just understand it.”

“What is it?”

“Because both Illak and Cheonyuhak are handsome. I understand you want to stalk me.”

“What is that…? How do you really see me over there…?”

“A stalker who blackmails people with photos.”

“Then you’re a ruffian who speaks harshly even to people you’ve never met, right?

“Anyway, I won’t yield to such threats. Ask someone else to ask.”

“Ugh.”

“Ugh, what is that? In the first place, looking at you earlier, it doesn’t seem like you dislike Professor Cathy, but bluffing that doesn’t work is bluffing.”

“Then will you introduce yourself if I ask?”

“See what you are asking for.”

“…Please. For some reason, I really want to observe them up close.”

As if her attitude so far was a lie, she obediently bowed her head and asked me for a favor.

Impressed by her polite attitude, I answered her with a smile.

“We do not negotiate with terrorists.”

“Yes…!?”

Rejected. This bitch I’m overwhelmed with the people around them right now.

I don’t need a new face yet.

…And this guy strangely resembles my friend and makes me want to bully him.

*

In the end, we hung on to ask for a name to be added to the club, and we reached an agreement that the name would be posted but not introduced.

Well, now it wasn’t my part-time job whether or not I sold my name and tried to get closer.

“So which club are you going to join in the end?”

After school, we were looking around each club with the members of the Morning Ordinance, including the pink chihuahua, Yuna Lee.

“Swordsmanship and travel. And I have to put my name on the hunt that Cheonyuhak creates a new one.”

All three were clubs connected to important events.

“Oh, are you going to do swordsmanship? I’m glad.”

“Uh…? Chinttaya cooking club…?”

Why is my ass… Only me…? I looked at him with a smile on his face, but it didn’t mean much.

I forgot the fact that Kim Ga-eul asked me to join the cooking club because originally, it was only the three of us who wanted to join.

Is he good at cooking? Wasn’t there anything like that in the original?

“I’ll make a lot of delicious food, let’s do it together~”

“Yes, Sohyeon-ah, join me. It would be better if you do a volunteer club instead of traveling.”

“Would you like to see me on the weekend too…?”

“Oh, of course. He was the first friend I met after coming to the academy.”

“Crazy bastard. Walk more than 1m away disgustingly.”

“Hey, if you say that, it hurts me too.”

I looked at Kim Ga-eul, leaving behind the giggling lilac, and he was still crying a bit.

This is Iljin.

Actually, I think it’s okay to join a cooking club.

The problem was that the cooking club had a comedic villain mixed in, so I didn’t want to join it.

“Why don’t you come in?”

As I was absentmindedly, an unexpected person intervened.

“…Huh?”

“Why do you look like that?”

No, that’s because you rarely talk to anyone other than Lilac, right?

To be precise, it should be said that the appearance of a pink Chihuahua helping her buttocks is a bit surprising.

But her shocking remarks did not end there.

“I’m going in too.”

“Huh?”

“Cooking Club.”

Lilac smiled and nodded her head.

…You don’t normally join cooking clubs, do you?

Anyway, I felt like the main character did something useless again.
