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

57 – Episode 57 Exciting first ranking match. (3)

I was able to find out why Hani was fine after using the urethra.

I lost it when Hani grabbed the sword in the original story, and now I have it.

Confidence in one’s skills and pride as a swordsman.

-Probably, as long as that mental part doesn’t shake, there won’t be anything to be eaten by the sword.

That’s exactly what our monkey brother said.

Not bad. No, good

Originally, I planned to secretly break that urethra before the emergency came.

Whether it’s mithril or mithril, it’s a legendary metal, but in the end it won’t be made of a stronger material than Yeoui, so it was a challenge I could try once I got a little stronger.

And the original plan was to get a new knife that is decent and nice, but when this happens, the story changes.

In the setting book, it was written that Seol-ah is a growing urethra and has a strong affinity with Hani.

It’s called the urethra, but it’s not like it’s eating away at reason.

The ever-sharpening blade, the sense of slashing enemies without relying on skill, degenerates the master as a swordsman and makes him lose his confidence.

In other words, it means that it is the best weapon if a person with strong mental power wakes up and uses it.

If she doesn’t lose to Lilac and Chun Yu-hak in this first ranking match, there’s a high chance that Hani won’t lose her confidence like in the original.

Well, since this is not my part to do, let’s say that.

“Whoa.”

In a deserted place I visited for contemplation, the passengers who were there before me caught my eye.

“Hey, who the hell are you? Do you keep calling my little brother Chinta? Ah, it could be a joke among friends, but the listener might not take it as a joke. I’m really curious.”

“That, that is…”

“Hmm, I think it’s a little over the line for an expression of goodwill. If it’s a sign of friendliness, would it be okay for me to do the same to you? I’m also an inspector, so I want to get along with the cadets a bit?”

“Sister…That’s it.”

“Oh, why am I your sister? When did i see Just because we want to be close doesn’t mean we’re still close friends, right? Right?”

Fuck. I didn’t see anything.

With the ranking match just around the corner, I’m finally going to take a break, but I didn’t want to lose my energy on this.

The possessed person is also a person. Person! Rest, play, and so on.

At the beginning of the semester, my butt, which had been enjoying a quasi-iljin game, was being scolded by my older sister for the real Iljin feeling.

-Isn’t that your friend and sister?

‘Well? I’m not sure what you’re talking about.’

-Don’t you want to meet?

‘Yes, of course.’

-Your sister already noticed you, so you’ll regret it if you go on like this?

‘You should have told me that first.’

I immediately ran to pay my respects to my respectable and beautiful sister.

-…How did a guy like this pass the ordeal?

At that moment, I heard a voice saying “Pathetic” In my head, but I ignored it.

“I thought you would run away, but is it surprising? Or is it because of him?”

“Why would I run away from my sister?”

Even if you think to yourself, your tone or attitude is quite awkward.

Even after I handed it over to Professor Cathy that day, we still ran into each other on campus, but we didn’t have a proper conversation, and even if we did, this awkwardness wasn’t the kind that would go away easily.

“Anyway, I’m going to have a little talk with him, so you are Sohyeon.”

“No, please let him go.”

The corners of her beautiful eyes furrowed a little.

It’s scary.

“I am.”

The hostility towards Kim Ga-eul slightly changed its form and turned toward us.

“Did I hear you wrong?”

“No? I think you heard it right.”

I was looking at Kim Ga-eul as if he was a little moved, but of course I’m not trying to help her because she’s pretty.

I wouldn’t know if I pretended not to know, but it was right to minimize the damage if it was already caught.

Although this place was sparsely populated, I can’t say that there aren’t people like me who go to a deserted place to contemplate.

If my sister denies Kim Ga-eul, there may be another rumor going around tomorrow.

“… Hey, why are you siding with him?”

“Yes? It’s not that I’m taking sides, it’s just because my sister’s position is there. Honestly, it’s not very nice to see an outside inspector doing this to a cadet.”

I thought it was quite persuasive, but she didn’t even pretend to listen.

I just let out a sigh and let go of Kim Ga-eul.

“Hey, I’ll wait and see for you. Looking at Sohyeon’s face, I just let go, but I’m not that kind of bitch who cares about the image around me? If you get caught messing around again, you die.”

She said that to Kim Ga-eul and then glanced back at me.

“Isn’t it the first ranking match soon?”

“Oh, yes.”

“…Don’t push yourself too hard, we’ll do a lot of ranked matches in the future. If you overdo it and get hurt, you’ll fall behind others, so there’s no need to overdo it. Oh, and after the ranking match, give me some time.”

“Yes? Time?”

“…My father sometimes asks me to have a meal with his family.”

“I see.”

She nodded her head without thinking, and for some reason her expression wrinkled a bit again.

“…Yes thank you.”

I really need to solve this one too.

You have to have a way to know exactly what happened to solve it.

“Then, listen to Cathy unnie as usual. See you again.”

“…Who?”

“Who is Cathy? You are the professor in charge.”

…Huh? Weird thing

In the last appearance in my memory, I don’t think we were close enough to call each other older sister or younger brother…?

However, he did not point out the sense of incongruity.

Well, the conversation must have worked out without me.

Since Professor Cathy isn’t the type of person to be hated by anyone, she probably did a good job clearing up the misunderstanding.

Never run away because you are afraid to look into the abyss.

“Yes, of course.”

A long time after my sister left, there was a loud sound of someone sitting down.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s not okay. Unnie is so scared, it must have been filmed, what should I do, Chintta-ya…?”

“I have to admit it after seeing how they call me jjindara even though they are so squeamish. You just keep calling me Chinta.”

Kim Ga-gul, who was trembling, hardened her expression with a strangely straight face.

“Isn’t it? Are you practicing? Is it soon?”

“…What?”

“It’s noisy, Chintta. That’s why I’m calling you Chinta.”

Oh, that’s a bit embarrassing?

I told him to save me from this, and to call me whatever I want, but on the contrary, it’s Seung-jil.

“But when I saw them up close, they really looked alike.”

“Me and sister?”

“Yeah, you too, so dress a little neatly. Unnie is so pretty.”

…Well? Actually, they said they weren’t related by blood, but I’ll have to find out about that too.

“Well, thanks for helping me anyway…”

Koruk.

Oh, I heard a growl at the cartoonish timing.

Kim Ga-eul’s face was dyed red as he roared his stomach, as if he had a sense of hunger because he was relieved of tension.

I don’t even feel like making fun of him when I see him with tears running down his face.

But I had neither the ability nor the will to offer emotional and delicate consolation like a lilac.

“Oh, I am hungry. Hey, let’s go get something to eat.”

“Huh? Uh. Do you have a lot of stomach ache? It was very loud.”

“Oh, I think I’m going to die, so let’s go quickly.”

*

“Please eat a lot, cadets.”

“Thank you Professor! But is it okay for us to buy something like this?”

“Yes, it will be a problem if I get it from the cadet, but it will be fine if I buy it.”

The moment I left the school gates to feed Ga-eul at least some tteokbokki, Professor Cathy appeared at the perfect timing, approached me, and offered to buy me a place for me.

In the end, almost all the members who were close to each other got together and had an unexpected tteokbokki party.

…Is the timing right by chance?

For some reason, the number of encounters with Professor Cathy seems to be increasing these days, so a strange feeling of anxiety came up.

The other guys, who hesitated at first, ordered what they wanted to eat after hearing that they had nothing to say.

Since there were so many people, there were a lot of different orders, but right now there was a guy in front of me who liked something that could hardly be recognized as tteokbokki.

“Illak, what the hell is that…?”

“This? Rosé Tteokbokki. Yuna liked it, so we ate together, so I got used to it and it was okay. Would you like to eat too?”

“That Illak. The rosé tteokbokki I know doesn’t contain that stuff, right?”

As far as I know, a cream sauce mixed with something spicy is called a neutral orange or pink sauce, but at least I remember that it wasn’t made with vanilla ice cream.

“Ah, it looks a bit sweet, but it goes well with the spicy taste.”

I turned my head away from the unbelievably terrible eccentricity.

“Ah, Sohyeon, are you going on a trip this time?”

“Travel?”

“Uh, you decided to go to the club. The seniors said they would prepare a lot of fun things for the first trip on the weekend after the ranking match.”

Oh, right.

There was that too.

A declaration ceremony of travel addicts who went on a trip without giving up their will even in the crazy situation where the academy was half-destroyed in the original work.

Originally, in the original work, the ranking match was pushed back, so it happened before the ranking match, but this was the original order.

“You really go to dungeons with Study Abroad, and you hang out with Han-hee every day and don’t travel with me, it’s a betrayal.”

“Uh, I’m going.”

“Oh, let’s go. Hanhee also decided to go, and Yuna and Gaeul… Eh?”

“Are you going? Why are you so surprised?”

“Usually, with a really annoying face, it’s like, ‘Hey, what are you doing there?'”

“Oh, they look alike.”

“Poohip.”

Ha-ni Kang chimed in, and Ga-eul Kim burst into laughter.

Rarely, I was also covering my mouth and giggling.

These are real.

I endure because I am weak.

Then I suddenly met Kang Hani’s gaze, who was still smiling.

But now that I think about it, he’s strong, so why did he say he was going on a trip?

Are there any numbers?

I had some doubts, but since it wasn’t something I could ask right now, I decided to move on.

“I was originally going to go. If you miss the first trip, it’s hard to get to know seniors, and if you’re in a club, you have to do activities.”

“Yes! You said it would be fun if we went together!?”

Yeah, that sounds like fun. Okay.

Recalling what the first trip felt like in the original, it was a trip I was really looking forward to.

It’s not as good as the destination I’ll be going to in the summer, but I could say that my first trip was also quite eventful.

A delay necessary for my plan.

Among the forgotten settings after it came out in passing, what I needed was to appear there.

“There, Lilac Cadet.”

“…Yes? What’s going on, Professor Cathy?”

“It might be very rude to say this, but where did the travel club decide to go on their first trip?”

“…Yes?”

“Oh, just. I’m worried Yes, I’m worried If we go to a dangerous place, we can’t just send the cadets.”

“Oh, don’t worry. I heard you were going to a safe place.”

It’s not very safe to be honest.

“Ah…Really?”

She openly showed a look of regret, but she seemed to be intoxicated with the atmosphere and didn’t see it.

“Still, everyone, don’t get too excited and be careful. And you know that the rankings and midterms come first, right?”

She giggled. Dunhani heard it and reacted.

“Oh, that’s right. Lilac, be prepared. This time, the chief practical skills will change.”

“Oh, do you think you have the confidence to win both Yuhak and me?”

“Of course not. At the entrance ceremony, I will reveal my cherished secret weapon, so be prepared.”

“Well, I have to be careful. Are you too nervous?”

It seemed like a small spark flew between Lilac and Kang Hani, who responded in a non-nervous tone.

*

After such a fun tteokbokki party, time passed quickly like an arrow.

Everyone made their own resolutions, focused on training, and finally the morning of the day of the ranking match was bright.

“What the fuck.”

-A sudden quest. Farmer’s Wrath. An enraged peasant is approaching. He never forgave those who mocked the spirits of the land and the sweat of farmers.

I was dizzy at the sudden quest notification.

…I called you, but why are you here now?

The calamity I summoned was about to overtake the ranks of Raylan Academy.
