Round 2 Starts With 990,000 Points

13 – Where to Eat

Dinner time. As soon as Lee Jin-chang, the hero of the association, received a tip, she headed to the academy.

Monsters appearing inside the thoroughly managed academy… Not usually.

After meeting the people involved and interrogating them, it was said that the eggs of the queen ants that had not been disposed of at the time of the dungeon’s opening had hatched late.

Somehow it’s not clear.

“What is the hatched queen ant?”

“Fortunately, it was handled safely.”

“Any casualties?”

“No.”

The instructors handled it well.

Come to think of it, the dungeon practice supervisor is an elderly man over seventy years old. Instructor Kang Il-nam. It seems that the deputy instructor dealt with it well because there was nothing special about him.

“If it were the queen ant, since it was a monster level, she would have been pretty tired, but who is the assistant instructor?”

An unexpected word came from a person involved.

“It wasn’t handled by the instructor, it was handled by the cadet.”

“Huh? A cadet? Wasn’t it the rookies who got into trouble this time?”

“That’s right.”

“But the cadet took care of it… ….”

“It is said that he did it alone, not in groups.”

“I said I handled it by myself… ?”

There was a name that immediately came to Jinchang Lee’s head.

“Choi Ji-seong?”

“No.”

“Han Cheol-woo? Yoo Seong-won?”

“It was not a famous cadet, but a cadet with an unusual name… that… Ah, Ymir. I think he said Ymir.”

“Ymir… Ymirra.”

Come to think of it, at the time of the class assignment test, it was the name I heard while verifying Mine in the president’s office. A cadet who followed a pretty girl around throughout the exam.

“Ah, a smart cadet.”

“A sensible cadet?”

“No, not that…” Did he take care of it by himself anyway?”

“Yes.”

“If it was a dungeon practice, it would have been a team response training… What about the other kids who were on the same team as him?”

“Once we did an investigation, one of them passed out and the other only applied. So, in the end, the result comes out that he handled it alone… I honestly can’t believe it….”

“Hmm… I handled it alone….”

The queen ant is a monster that belongs to the tricky side of monster class monsters. A monster that is generally impossible to deal with at the cadet level because of the magic immunity that is naturally generated from its thick outer shell. But the new cadet took care of it? Alone too.

“… I don’t believe it either.”

“Yes, yes. Still, there’s no way the kids I was with would lie, so I’ll have to take it as fact.”

“If you’re starving or in a weakened state, maybe it’s possible…. Do you have any CCTV or filmed records?”

“Unfortunately, at the time of the incident, all nearby CCTVs and drones were said to be in a dead state.”

“That’s unfortunate. It’s not clear.”

Jinchang Lee was deep in thought. I don’t understand why monsters like monsters came out from inside the academy, but a new cadet took care of it…. Besides, the fact that there are no recorded records is something else. I don’t understand even more.

“Shall I load it?”

“What?”

“Aren’t you going to investigate? Even that freshman named Ymir.”

“No, no.”

You are not the only hero belonging to the association that is investigating the academy.

‘Park Dae-shik.’

Park Dae-sik, the dog of hell, is entirely in charge of the mission of detecting mines, which is being secretly carried out by the association. Due to the nature of the mission, it is Lee Jin-chang who disguises himself externally.

So Jinchang Lee’s real mission is nothing more than a trick to deceive the eyes of the demons. It’s kind of a sabotage operation.

“… I’m still interested.”

“Yes?”

“No, I’m talking to myself.”

A sensible cadet… Ymir….

Hmm, let’s investigate personally.

Lee Jin-chang looked at the high building of the academy and was lost in her thoughts.

It’s okay if you investigate.

* * *

It was originally a practice class, but due to an incident that occurred during the dungeon practice, all practice classes this week were temporarily suspended.

Thanks to that, I didn’t have classes today, so I used my spare time to go around the circle.

Hunting, traveling, reading, exploring… When I joined about four circles that have contact with the main characters, something suddenly came to my mind.

So service, religion, physical education, research, engineering… Besides that, he joined all twelve circles in the academy. After joining the last music circle, I checked and found out that my prediction was correct.

[Hidden Achievement: ‘Circle Sign Collector’ Accomplished!]

[I got 3,000 points as an achievement reward.]

“As expected!”

I thought there would be at least one achievement, but it was as expected. In the case of a circle, you only need to sign up and not be active, so you can get 3,000 points through a little effort.

“Awesome, 3,000 points…. There must be other achievements hidden like this….”

The rewards are quite large, perhaps thanks to the rarity of hidden achievements. So even if you just aim for hidden achievements, you will be able to collect quite a few points.

“Ah.”

Come to think of it, there was also an achievement of arranging books in the library. Should I do that too….

That sounds like a good idea. It was just when I made up my mind and was about to move.

“Damn it! What is it because of you!”

I heard a shout from somewhere.

“b*tch. Answer me!”

Swear words… ?

“Mi-sorry….”

“Are you sorry?”

“Sorry….”

“Oh, you motherf*cker. I’m speechless. Don’t apologize, what are you going to do, my score!”

“My score too!”

For some reason, the voice apologizing is familiar to my ears…. Who is it I was curious and headed to the source of the sound.

“… Ah.”

In a secluded place under the stairs, Go Soo-yeong was surrounded by two female students and listening to bad talk.

“Because of you, the dungeon practice score is almost disqualified!”

“No, if I just stayed still, I would have gotten the basic score like the other kids… ! What is it about being completely deducted for losing a team member? Why!”

Come to think of it, during the dungeon practice, Ko Soo-young lost her teammates and lost her way. She was told that all other cadets, except for those whose scores were recorded, were graded based on their records at the time of practice. It seems that Ko Soo-young’s team was largely affected by the mistake of losing her team member.

“Mi, I’m sorry….”

“If you say sorry just one more time, you will explode.”

“… ….”

This is the starting point of Ko Soo-young being bullied.

Coming to think of it, this incident became a snowball, and Ko Soo-yeong became an anti-bullying student and then a school-wide bullying. And as Choi Ji-sung helps her, Ko Soo-yeong comes to her rescue.

“… Hmm.”

What should I do?

Go Soo-yeong is originally the person Choi Ji-sung should save. But for some reason, I have a reasonable guess that a lot of points are at stake. If so, wouldn’t it be more beneficial for me to step out?

It was when I was thinking about it.

“Oh, you just get hit a few times.”

The girl, who was extraordinarily tall, stretched out her fist. I couldn’t possibly leave the sight. So she moved quickly.

“Ugh!”

The female student caught my fist in my hand was very embarrassed.

“You, what are you!”

“What are you guys doing?”

“What?”

“It’s okay, but it’s not violence.”

The tall girl’s face was distorted. Looking at the name tag on her cadet uniform, she sees her name on it. Joo Won. Ah, that’s him, the twins….

“You are missing. Stop smoking.”

“From what I heard earlier, it seems like you were talking about work during practice yesterday… Isn’t team training training between teams? Are you guys doing anything wrong?”

I tightened the clenched fist of the female student as she spoke. Her face grew more and more grim.

“Ah, okay…ぅ… , Hand, let go of your hand. Ouch!”

I let go. Said the girl who looked like her dwarf standing beside her as the tall legs patted her own hand.

“Are you him? That, the one who killed the monster alone during practice….”

I answered with a shallow nod. Kidari was startled.

“A monster? Oh, he… That, Ymir?”

She was visibly embarrassed and patted her dwarf girl. It seems that my existence is greatly burdened. The Dwarf and Kidari exchanged glances and decided on their next move. They growled at Ko Soo-young and withdrew.

“You, wait and see.”

“See you later.”

These children are like a model of the weak and the weak. These kids are the seeds of heroes…. The academy must be the process of selecting those seeds.

“Are you okay?”

“Ugh, yes. Are you okay… thank you.”

Contrary to what she said, Go Soo-young’s face is covered with her tears and runny nose.

You would be stronger if you actually fought….

That’s not to say that her talent can slay even 10 cadets like that. Including me

“Take it.”

I took her toilet paper from her arms and handed it to her.

“Thank you.”

“Can I go to the dormitory by myself?”

“Yes….”

She said it was okay, but I helped her and escorted her to her dormitory.

“If this happens again, call the instructor first.”

“Yes….”

It was an action that thoroughly considered the points.

“Thank you… really.”

“No, rest.”

So I placed her in her dormitory and looked behind her.

“… ….”

Unfortunately, Mo Yeji was standing there.

I run into him often.

“…… You.”

For some reason, her eyes are so sharp that they sting.

Is there something unpleasant about it?

I ignored her stiff as a plaster cast and headed to her library. I checked my points on the way, and as expected, I had 800 points.

Is it a point restaurant?

The point of Go Soo-young was the very stable taste.
