54 – Episode 11. Midterm exam.

<7>

“… I think I will die.”

“Looks like it.”

Thursday morning. Baek So-so, who came back after sprinting around the track, made a weak sound for some reason.

“Why don’t you just take a break in the morning? There isn’t much left until the test period, aren’t you overdoing it?”

“I’m going to sleep a little more in the morning from this weekend.”

Baek So-so, who was panting, took a deep breath to calm her breath before opening his mouth again.

“What about seniors? Will you come out to exercise next week too?”

“Maybe.”

“…Are you studying?”

I nodded.

“You look fine for that.”

“I’m the type who usually takes it one step at a time.”

“Huh, you are unexpectedly sincere.”

Even though it’s a lie.

“You too, Baek So-so, don’t overdo it and study slowly. Then I will fall.”

“… I didn’t expect to hear that from a senior.”

“Why can’t I say this?”

Bai Xiaoso immediately nodded his head up and down.

“The one who collapsed like a pick-pick sunfish was senior Si-hyeok, right?”

I see… Summer solstice?

Looking back now, if Baeksoso hadn’t come when I first collapsed, I might have really died of heatstroke. If you think about it like this, is Baeksoso a lifesaver for me?

“You know what I did for most of my seniors who had fallen and suffered, right?”

“… Thank you, Mr. Baekso. Thanks to you, I am alive.”

As I let out a servile voice and lowered my head, a faint smile appeared on Baek So-so’s tired face.

“Do you think you will do well on the exam?”

“Perhaps?”

Three days ago, I immediately accepted Chae Hee-rin’s proposal.

I teach Chae Hee-rin about skill application, and instead, Chae Hee-rin teaches me math.

I still wonder what he ate wrong to make such a constructive suggestion, but for me it was a welcome suggestion.

I had to ask Suisei, and I was thinking about it.

“I was a bit confused about math, but I had a good teacher.”

“That’s a relief.”

“I was lucky.”

Actually, Chaehee-rin’s appearance this week was very different from what I expected.

I thought that if I didn’t understand, she would spit vicious words right away, but surprisingly, she didn’t rush and explained it step by step.

As expected, it seems that the character’s settings cannot be trusted straight away.

As I remember Chae Hee-rin’s setting, ‘Don’t you know this? You, if it’s not the brain that’s in her head, is it Sari?’

“How are you?”

“I am… I am working hard.”

She was her answer. But Baek So-so hesitated for a moment for some reason, then continued her words.

“I am working particularly hard this time. I have something I am aiming for this semester.”

“… What is that?”

“That’s a secret. I don’t know if I will succeed or fail yet.”

Saying that, Baek So-so’s face had something akin to a heroic determination.

“Yes, whatever it is, you will do well.”

“… Something is very dry.”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to say thank you?”

I pursed my lips, and Baek So-so shrugged her shoulders.

…A person put their heart into it.

I know better than anyone that you are the best hard worker in the world.

“Anyway, study hard. Instead, don’t work too hard, just work hard enough, you know what I mean?”

“What is that? Strange.”

Baek So-so laughed, showing her white teeth as if my words were funny.

Today, the skies of Academia are clear and the air is cool.

Feeling the full bloom of spring, Baek So-so and I moved our bodies as hard as we could this morning.

Nine days until midterm exams.

“-This is the end, do you have any questions?”

“… For a moment.”

After she finished my explanation, Chaehee Rin kept her mouth shut as she went over the notes she had taken. She nods her head as if she understands something only after thoroughly checking it from beginning to end.

“I understand…. Not all, but I will review the rest separately.”

Saying that, Chaehee Lin put her rimbab-shaped mobile phone that had been placed on her table into her pocket.

She was recording everything I just said on her cell phone.

I wondered if it was necessary to do such a thing even though it wasn’t really important, but since Chaehee and Lin are also great hard workers, she understands it to some extent.

“I’m starting to get hungry.”

It was already dinner time.

As I muttered as I swept my rumbling stomach, Chaehee-rin immediately pulled out a card from her wallet and handed it to me.

“Thank you every time. Chae Hee-rin, can you not eat something?”

“… Aren’t you tired of asking like that every day? I just need this.”

Saying that, Chaehee-rin took one of her piles of french fries and put them into her mouth.

I really like french fries.

If you eat like that, you’ll definitely gain weight, but Chaehee-rin’s body maintains a very slender fit, the exact opposite of how much she eats.

After I went down to the first floor and placed my order, I blankly stared at the menu and waited for the food to come out.

I don’t know why, but she decided to cover all of her food while studying here at her X Donald.

I asked if it was necessary to teach each other, but she ignored my question and said to just eat in silence.

Well, it’s good for me if the money is solid.

“Guest No. 31! The MegaX set you ordered is here!”

“Ah, thank you.”

After holding the tray with both hands, I went back to the second floor.

Chaehee Rin continued to stare at her notes with her eyes open.

Anyway, there was a subject that even Chae Hee-rin could not do.

Chaehee Rin has the lowest physical strength among 5-star characters, but she has a very high intelligence level of 14 at the beginning. She

Even in Qingming, one of the four most prestigious families, it was written in the setting that she was always an honor student who was in the entire school district.

I would never have thought that such a Chae-hee-Rin would agonize over such a simple problem.

Does everyone have at least one weak subject, like I’m a math nerd?

I muttered that to myself and went back to the table to sit down.

As I hurriedly devoured the hamburger, Chaehee Rin was glaring at me with her sharp eyes.

…Did you eat it too much?

Carefully mucking her mouth down, Chaehee-rin gave her a slight nod and turned her gaze back to the notebook.

… Have you ever tried to look like that?

I used to feel a strange stare from nearby whenever I struggled to solve a math problem. That’s probably Chae Hee-rin… ?

Could it be that she hasn’t been angry all this while, but has she been holding back her anger?

“Once you finish eating, let’s start.”

“… Yes.”

“Why are you saying honorifics all of a sudden?”

Chae Hee-rin came and sat next to me with a ridiculous expression on her face.

She wondered if it was necessary, but she felt comfortable sitting next to her when she was teaching others.

Anyway, that’s how Chae Hee-rin’s class started.

“… Let’s rest for a while.”

And after 30 minutes, Chae Hee-rin suggested taking a break first.

“I’m still fine.”

“… It’s because I’m having a hard time.”

“You?”

As soon as Chae Hee-rin heard my words, anger shone in her eyes. Chaehee Rin opened her mouth as if she was going to scream at her right away, but then she covered her mouth with her hands and took a deep breath.

“… Sorry, I’m very frustrated.”

“No, it’s okay. This can be happen. Yes, you can.”

Chae-hee-rin mumbles to herself as if hypnotizing herself.

…For me, that would be more frightening.

It’s the anger that Chae-hee-rin, who has a dirty personality, has been suppressing for several days. She’s just horrible to imagine.

“If you have something to say, feel free to do so. I do not care.”

Chae Hee-rin has the right to be angry with me. She teaches each other, and Chae Hee-rin is in charge of her food expenses. You have to endure some level of scolding.

“… Then I’ll ask you.”

Chaehee Lin hesitated for a while, but finally she got lucky like that, as if she couldn’t stand it.

“You. Why do you not know anything about the contents of the textbook?”

“Is that because you didn’t take the class?”

“Then what did you do in class?”

“I slept.”

“… Ha.”

At my reply, Chae Hee-rin let out a big sigh. She really knew what she had been holding up for all three days, and she was sighing deeply.

Since I was reflecting on myself, I waited for the next whip with my hands on my knees in silence.

However, the next question that came out of Chae Hee-rin’s mouth was a completely unexpected question.

“You are planning to transfer schools in the second semester.”

“Yes, but… , how did you know?”

“Of course not. It’s a B grade at best, but it’s a shame if you don’t aspire to be a hero. In addition, seeing that she studied the application of her abilities on her own, you wouldn’t have thought of it either. Right?”

I silently nodded. It’s a bit out of focus, but it’s true.

“You are actually quite famous.”

“Me?”

“Uh. Because you’re the first person to go up two grades after becoming a high school student.”

Chae Hee-rin put one of her fries in her mouth and mumbled, continuing her next words.

“Of course, there must have been transfer offers from various schools.”

“Yes.”

“So, where are you going?”

Pure curiosity… It doesn’t seem like a question from He could feel a strange longing burning in her eyes.

“I haven’t decided yet.”

“How is Cheongmyeong?”

And as I expected, Chae Hee-rin said that right away.

Come to think of it, she, Chaehee, and Lin also experienced my ability once. Perhaps she has already noticed the fraudulent nature of my abilities.

Lee Si-hyeok. What a sinful fate.

“There is no proposal from Qingming yet.”

Since she didn’t even bother to reject it outright, I turned around and answered her as much as I could.

What… , And the offer really hasn’t come yet.

But when she heard my answer, she raised the corner of her mouth as if sneering.

“Yes. A B-class supporter like you is full of clearing.”

Quick.

A string of tendons rose from my forehead at the sarcastic tone.

An asshole that notices deceit. Did you just say something to brag about yourself?

As expected, this guy has a bad personality.

“But in my opinion, you have more potential than I thought.”

“… Thank you for that.”

I never thought Lee Shi-hyeok, the only god in Leoa, would hear these words from Chae Hee-rin, the weakest 5-star and laughing bell.

My head is dizzy.

“That’s what I mean. In fact, I also have a say in Qingming. I can recommend it to the teacher so that you can enter Qingming.”

“Oh, that’s okay.”

“Whoops, okay… huh? What?”

Chae Hee-rin widens her eyes as if she heard it wrong.

I said it once more clearly, so that she could clearly understand.

“I won’t go even if Cheongmyung tells me to come.”

Because there, it will go bankrupt at the end of this year.
