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

55 – Episode 55 The thrilling first ranking match. (1)

Shorororok.

Cherryade shrank in Yu-Na’s glass through a straw.

Judging from the fact that the drink I ordered was not chamomile tea, at least I wasn’t in a bad mood right now.

The pink girl who is beautiful even in the way she drinks her drink has her charming appearance enough to make many readers mistake her for her main heroine, and has a position close to the cheat key of her main character’s childhood friend. It led most of her readers to believe so.

Even the other heroines were in a situation where they were being followed, so everyone thought that way.

Except for me who even read the set of novels. Shiba.

“I don’t like backbiting, so I’ll ask you directly.”

The bright smile is beautiful, but the eyes that do not feel the temperature at all are sadly cold.

“Is there any possibility that Kang Na-hyeon, who came as an inspector this time, will show interest in our Illak-i?”

“Why would you ask me that…?”

“That’s right, he’s the younger brother. You don’t know more than other things. Even if it’s your ideal type, even if it’s a trivial taste.”

That’s it. I don’t know if she’s not his real sister?

When I saw her appearance in the original work, she was only fighting Lilac, but that was because she became a villain.

But she couldn’t talk like that.

“A normal younger brother wouldn’t be interested in things like his older sister’s taste in the opposite sex, right?”

“…Hmm, is that so?”

Ah, did I get the fucking answer wrong? Should I have put my head down and say, ‘I will sternly warn my sister not to touch yours.’?

“I guess so. Being a younger brother who knows all of your older sister’s tastes must be a little distasteful.”

But fortunately, she didn’t seem to mean to screw me up.

Please.

The ice melted and the pale cherry ade shrank again.

It’s pretty, it’s really pretty, how can you look pretty even when you’re drinking?

-Careful.

‘Ah, thank you.’

-No, those who lack discipline won’t be able to endure it like you. Saihan energy.

She was only caught off guard for a moment, and in an instant, she was almost eaten by her talent.

If Son Oh-gong hadn’t talked to me, Lee Yu-na would have been looking at me with very displeased eyes by now.

She knew about her talent, so I thought I was going to be careful enough, but I guess it wasn’t enough.

“…Why?”

“Because it looks dull.”

She stirred the cherries, which had melted and became slightly transparent, with a straw.

“Oh, that’s right. Does that mean there is no information at all? That’s it.”

Fascination魅了. She is a natural talent and her level is B, but her risk level is no less than A.

She’s an ability that has a lot to do with her lineage, but the problem is that she can’t control her talent herself.

She has been obsessed with her other people since her childhood, even if she doesn’t want to, and that has led to her distrust of humans.

Since then she meets Lilac and she’s a little better, but she’s not completely healed of her wounds. It’s such a common setting.

It’s also a setup that makes many readers believe that she’s the main heroine.

-Yuna, I must have liked someone…!

Until that lilac bastard broke the mentality of IU and her readers with a sudden drift.

No, yes. What’s wrong with you Illak.

It’s largely my friend’s fault, and in a small way, it must be my fault for constantly gaslighting you since childhood because I didn’t want to lose you.

Reason I was wary of anyone approaching Lilac, who had been handsome and kind since childhood, so she often said something to Lilac, almost alluding to it.

-Girls who are kind to you aren’t because they like you, they’re just kind.

It is a setting that the person himself regrets fucking, but anyway, Lilac falls for a character that appears out of nowhere rather than friendly Lee Yu-na, and as a result, Lee Yu-na turns black.

And the scale of this blackening is so great that she became the main villain in that episode.

It’s like a real dog fucking novel.

Which bastard wrote it?

Ah, that’s my friend.

When I thought so, my mouth moved naturally.

For a while, I wondered why I had to clean up the poop that bastard had accumulated, but that’s what the possessed chair does.

“Lilac suits you more than my sister. My sister and I have a bit of an age gap.”

No, that’s a lie. It’s like the age of that kid.

“…Does it look like that?”

“In the first place, my older sister probably doesn’t like younger people either, right?”

If you think about the Cheonyuhak, it’s not a very old school.

“I’m glad.”

Okay, I’ll help you, so please take it before you fall in your late first love at the time of lilac.

If possible, don’t become a villain. Uh?

The reason why I don’t know if you know my heart I was smiling with her face looking happy.

*

Wait here.

There is a part that needs to be picked up.

Perhaps there are people who are thinking this way by now.

‘Huh? This bastard Ganghwa, I ate a relic by stealing a really strong villain from Yeouibong, and now isn’t it stronger than Lilac or Cheonyuhak?’ I mean.

No.

With all that in mind, I’m still weaker than Lilac or Tian Yu-Hak.

What are you talking about when you single-handedly beat a fucking strong villain?

This is partly due to the problem of compatibility between talents, and partly because I thoroughly exploited his weaknesses.

To give a simple example, its strongest time is between noon and 4pm. The time when the shadows are the darkest, the time when the light is strongest is the time when the black spirit, the main attacking tool, becomes the strongest.

And also the reason why we fought indoors was also because the effect is weakest when using the artifact that controls its gusts.

In this way, I thoroughly weakened his artifacts, and above all, the big reason I was able to beat him was because he was weak.

Excluding abilities and relics, his physical abilities are quite poor among elves and human superhumans.

He is the type of villain who only believes in his innate ability and does not train himself.

The main body is infinitely weak, but it’s a type that builds a wall that makes it nearly impossible to target the main body.

Really, no matter how much I thought about it, he was a bastard with no charm whatsoever.

Anyway, it was for that reason that I allowed all of my blind attacks that normal villains and heroes would have avoided.

Why are you saying this all of a sudden?

“Hyeonah So, if you hold the knife like that, it’s hard on your wrist.”

“That’s right, blocking an opponent’s weapon with a knife in the first place is an act of suicide, so you should avoid it or dodge it.”

I was going to take a break, so Lilac and Gangani dragged me out to exercise.

“I’ll wield it slowly, so don’t overdo it this time and let it flow.”

And these genius bastards have been training me to attack from a while ago to see if they think others can do what they can do.

“Have I done anything wrong to you? If so, will you make me apologize?”

“hahahaha, even if it’s hard, don’t joke, let’s try a little more. We’re going to have a ranking match soon.”

“Right, if you train with us, you’ll get better grades than you think, right?”

Ah, come to think of it, is it already that season?

I forgot because it was an event that was barely mentioned in the original work due to all sorts of accidents.

There are so many events at Raylan Academy.

Most of them were not allowed to proceed in the original, but as long as the academy is back to normal, everything will proceed normally now.

Among them, the ranking match, as the name suggests and like other novels, is an event that occurs once during the semester and once at the end of the semester.

And it’s also your first chance to earn points during an official event.

Well, it’s an event that doesn’t mean much to me as I lack basic skills, but it’s true that I get a little excited when I think that rankings are fixed.

Kids around this age are probably more excited because it’s a time when they especially like things like that.

“Now then, swing it.”

Okay, let’s get serious then.

When I stared at the front seriously, the sword approached me a little slower than before.

The strike, which was like a lightning bolt, has now slowed to a level that is visible to the eye, but it is still visible, but it is difficult for the body to follow.

“Evil…!”

And in the end, I had to scream at the weight of the knife because it was one beat late.

“Ah, this time it was a waste.”

“Guys, wouldn’t it be better if you guys just don’t mind me and train by yourself? I feel hopeless.”

“Well, not necessarily. I am doing pretty well.”

…Where are you going? Is this bastard T-bagging by any chance?

“Don’t stare at me like that. Because I mean it sincerely.”

“Right, actually, one of the most important things in a fight is already perfect~”

Hani even helped out and said that, but to be honest, I have no idea.

“At least they don’t look away in fear while fighting. Seeing and reacting to an attack right up until the very end, that’s the part that current heroes find it difficult.”

“Well, in the end, it explodes slowly, so the reaction is delayed.”

Oh, well. Certainly, this isn’t something you can train unless you’ve been hit often.

I got used to it at the orphanage, but other kids probably haven’t had that kind of experience yet.

“So, let’s work hard a little more, Sohyeon-ah.”

Lilac raised her sword mercilessly again.

…Huh? Should i continue?

“Don’t worry. I will keep hanging out with you until you succeed.”

That’s right. This kid was such a kid.

He was the kind of guy who made even the people around him hot-blooded with his theory of guts.

I told you that characters like this aren’t popular these days, you bastard.

“Go…!”

“Don’t come…!”

After doing it about six more times, I was finally able to dodge Lilac’s frontal attack.

*

“hahahaha. Hey Sohyeon, no matter what, what is ‘don’t come…!’? Lilac is really funny too. It’s Spartan as fuck while resting with a smile on your face.”

“Noisy. Would you like to dry it? If I had known I would make it until I really succeeded, I would have run away.”

“Can I run away?”

…That’s not it. Even if I ran away, I think I would have come to catch him.

The violence done out of pure goodwill was surprisingly real.

“…Ugh, I was really going to take a break, but a ranking match is a ranking match again. Anyway, Lilac will be the first, and Chun Yu-hak will eat second.”

“…What?”

I just said it as if it were obvious, but for some reason Kang Hani reacted sensitively.

“Hey, you don’t know that. Have you ever seen me fight?”

Yeah, have you seen that many fucking times? It was a string, but I’m sure not many people have seen it as much as me.

“No?”

“But how do you think they will win?”

Anyway, Hani seemed to be in a bad mood.

Yeah, but this is effective. You can’t even beat Cheonyuhak, let alone lilac.

In the first ranking match of the freshman year, you cannot choose your opponent directly, and you will fight a total of five times.

Through the information analyzed by the professors, they organize one weaker opponent, three similar level, and one stronger opponent.

In the original work, Kang Ha-ni was defeated by both Lilac and Cheon Yu-hak, who were at a similar level to her, that is, the top ranks.

Of course, there was a penalty that she couldn’t use arcane swordsmanship, but she said in the original story that she was none other than herself and that even if she felt sincere, she couldn’t guarantee that she could win, so this was solid information.

Even Lilac experienced strengthening and caught a hint of a higher level, and Cheonyuhak became stronger by acquiring the Thunder Dragon Spear.

It was hard to think that Kang Hani would have a chance to win.

“…Is this, I think I’m worse than them?”

Ah, didn’t you manage your expression?

“Ha, hey, then what will you do if I win? Are you going to bet?”

“Why should I entrust my future to Mr. La and Mr. Cheon…?”

“Then do you do it yourself?”

“Well, isn’t there an option to say no…?”

“Just kidding. I can’t even pick an opponent in the first ranking match, so how can I fight with you? Look forward to it anyway. I’ll show you how to win both and eat the chief.”

“It must be difficult.”

“This is real.”

As I was having a pleasant conversation with Hani, my smart phone suddenly rang.

It wasn’t a phone call, it was a text message, but it was something I had half-forgotten after sending it.

[Environmental protection group true love farming. Through the photos you sent, we clearly confirmed that the food was wasted. We promise to take action sooner or later to prevent the farmers’ sweat and land energy from being wasted, and we appreciate your thorough reporting spirit.]

The answer finally came back to the inquiry I put in during the Kim Ga-eul incident a while ago.

I’ve told you before.

You can’t leave food behind. Throwing it on the ground is an insult.

Why? When a madman who competes for the second or third time in this world comes to punish, he usually comes a little later, but what’s the deal?

“Hey, are you listening to me? Am I going to beat them all?”

“Yes, yes, if you win, I will grant you a wish, so please don’t get hurt.”

As soon as I answered, Hani started glaring at me fiercely.

“…Just wait and see. Don’t change your words, because I’m going to win and make you do something really embarrassing.”

“Yeah, I can’t win.”

“This is real…!”
