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

14 – Episode 14 There’s at least one kid in the academy.(3)

Hmm, it was quite a strange feeling.

“Actually, there was something I really wanted to say to you.”

The one next to me right now was a boy whose natural brown hair glistened in the sun and anyone would say he was a warm-hearted guy.

Lilac.

He is the first protagonist of this novel and a character of absolute goodness.

“Do you remember what happened on the day of the entrance ceremony?”

“Of course not. I almost lost everything because of the terrorism.”

Originally, I should have searched everything.

“At that time, everyone lived thanks to you. I am one of the parties, so I should say thank you.”

Perhaps he remembered turning off aggro while I was fucking around.

“You were the one who actually blocked it.”

Hmm, it’s a bit strange to hear the main character thank you.

“No, I couldn’t stop it alone. No one was hurt because you and the professor studying abroad were all together. Thank you very much.”

That was not wrong.

Actually, he still can’t handle the terrorism alone that caused many casualties.

“…Thank you.”

But it wasn’t enough to say thank you. Rather, without lilacs, I would have died.

“And to be honest, I was scared at the time, but thanks to that, I was encouraged. Thank you for telling me not to be scared because I can stop it. I wanted to keep talking, but when it was over, you went to the infirmary and we haven’t had a chance to see each other since then.”

“What, something like that…huh?”

A crazy swindler heard that?

“You know. Did you do that by any chance?”

“I don’t know what you mean?”

I don’t know what I don’t know. Of course you know.

He suspected that it was me who had strengthened him.

Basically, the cadets had no way to know about each other’s talents unless they spoke directly.

Of course, each student’s information is recorded in the academy’s secret database, but ordinary cadets have no right or method to view it.

“…Really? If it was because of you, I was going to say thank you.”

“There are many things to be thankful for. Like apologies, if you overdo it with gratitude, it loses its value.”

“hahahaha, that’s right too. Still, thanks to that, I was able to save my friends, and after that day, I felt like I was able to see a little bit of a way. Or it’s okay. Let’s go get something to eat.”

Oh, fortunately, the main character seems to have caught on to a little bit of a sense that was one level higher than the one he used that day.

Yes, yes, get stronger quickly. Although munchkin water is criticized, it is still popular to get stronger quickly.

Bad bitches are not popular. Celebrity.

But this bastard really wants to eat with me?

“…Do you want to eat with me?”

“Huh? You said so.”

“No, I thought it was a word I was trying to call out because I had business.”

“Hmm? It’s lunch time, so I don’t have many friends yet.”

No, my childhood friend is eating with me.

But I couldn’t point that out.

It’s weird when someone you’ve only seen for the second time today knows whether he has a childhood friend or not.

“Ah, that’s right. I have one more friend I’m supposed to meet in front of the restaurant, but isn’t it uncomfortable?”

Ah, fortunately this madman didn’t seem to have forgotten his childhood friend.

Then the answer I will give has been decided.

“Oh, uncomfortable.”

“Is that so?”

I didn’t know that I would reject it so openly, I was embarrassed, but I also had a legitimate reason.

Illak. At least on the first day, just eat with your childhood friend.

I’m sure you’ll think he’s trying to get in the way.

Just as we were about to make excuses and leave, someone came up to us.

“Oh, I was told when it would come, but it came sooner than I thought?”

“Gangha…Hanhee?”

Fuck. I almost called him strong by mistake. If I had called, wouldn’t that gentle smile turn cold in an instant and they would try to blame me for knowing how?

“Why do you stutter? Anyone who sees it will know that I am bullying them. Come to think of it, I didn’t know what time we would meet in the morning~ So I was waiting.”

For some reason, in Kang Ha-ni’s head, it seemed like we were having lunch together.

“Huh?”

Our cross-dressing woman looked at me as if she finally recognized the main character next to me.

“Oh? Ah! Freshman Representative.”

I immediately recognized that Lilac is a celebrity in her own right.

Well, it’s not just a freshman representative, it’s famous for catching terrorists and even interviewing them.

“Oh, you already have a group? Don’t speak I’ll ask my friend if I can eat with them too!”

No. You bastard, that’s not it!

I wanted to shout that, but it was already too late.

“Illak~”

The culprit I wanted to avoid eating with lilacs, at least the first day, was already spotting us and approaching.

She was a beautiful girl with long, pink hair that you might be kidding about.

She has a smile on her face as well, with a mild-looking impression.

But you know what?

There are only two types of pink hair in web novels.

A really ridiculously nice saint, or a dog bitch.

And unfortunately, the pink Chihuahua that is approaching us right now is a character that boasts a flirtatiousness close to the latter to everyone except Lilac.

Reasona.

He is the same age as Lilac and is the victim of Lilac’s childhood friend who is in charge of the healer.

However, in the original work, he tends to die for the awakening of Lilac, so there is little backlash.

There was a fight between few readers in the comments because they even killed him.

She looks like a girl with a fluffy cotton candy vibe on the outside, but like the pink-haired clergy childhood friend guild, she’s obsessed with lilacs.

She asked Lilac if she didn’t see anything but Lilac in the first place, as if she recognized us only after coming close.

“Who are you?”

In terms of experience, the temperature of my voice has gone down by about 2 degrees compared to when I just sang ‘Illak~’.

At level 2, it was a temperature at which a person could die based on human body temperature, but our idiot Lilac, like the protagonist of a novel, was not a sensitive enough person to notice such a change.

“Oh, my new friend. Have I ever told you before?”

Ah, this bastard did it after all.

There is a scene like this in the original work as well.

The scene where the three of them met for the first time after coaxing Hani Kang, who became her roommate, the moment she said he was her new friend there, the pink Chihuahua started a fight with Hani Kang.

What? Isn’t it cliché for a jealous heroine to quarrel with another heroine?

Think carefully.

Hani Kang is now dressed as a man.

It was the same in the original.

In other words, that woman is jealous of men and has a severe lack of affection in the realm of being wary.

She scans me with her eyes, which are momentarily unwarmed.

“I heard that Illak cheered me on that day?”

Oh, but you’re not quarreling with me.

“Uh, yes.”

“Thank you. But Illak and I are the closest.”

Who said what…? I won’t do it even if you ask me to be your best friend.

“Hey, don’t play around~ There are still people in the group, so it was difficult to say no to them.”

She glanced at me.

What is it? Is he trying to slap me, saying, ‘How dare you refuse our invitation?’

“He was a man with common sense.”

Ah, it seems that Lilac forgave her when she said that she had brought it by force.

She was infinitely generous towards Lilac.

She actually allowed her to join.

A meal between the main character and the main cast.

No matter how much I thought about it, I felt like I had to stop thinking about enjoying a meal comfortably.

*

The student cafeteria was not pushed behind as expected.

It’s probably because the price is high, and one of the reasons is that there is a slight difference in the time when classes end.

“You two are roommates. Both of them entered the school early during vacation, so it’s kind of strange that they’re roommates.”

“Isn’t it?”

I asked Nana Kang Hani if Lilac had the personality to get along with people quickly, and now, when Lilac and Kang Hani lead the conversation, the conversation is proceeding with the feeling that Lee Yu-na gets involved.

Me?

I was born in Korea, and I was feeling deep despair for having lived my life without knowing that the eggplant variety could be so delicious just by baking it.

When I realized that what I picked up without knowing what it was was a grilled eggplant, I despaired of thinking about the texture of seasoned eggplant, but I realized that eggplants are originally grilled and eaten with a special sauce.

Why do you eat vegetables that are so delicious just by roasting them?

In one word, he was so damn annoying that he wasn’t participating in the conversation.

“Ah.”

At that time, Hani Kang looked at her plate while making a strange noise.

“Why is that?”

“I can’t eat cherry tomatoes. It must have been stuck under the salad.”

Oh shit.

I forgot about eggplant.

“Really? Then…”

Lilac said that and picked up the chopsticks.

Oh, this is a scene in which Lilac, who was also criticized in the original work, forgot the favorability of her childhood friend and roommate at the same time.

Lilac, who had already forgotten Kang Hani’s liking for being reluctant to contact others, is considerate and eats tomatoes with chopsticks, but this upsets not only Kang Hani, who was annoyed, but also Lee Yuna, who was looking at it. Was

“Illak!”

Because I was startled by the sudden situation, I stopped calling him out loud.

Luckily, Lilac paused and looked at me before moving her chopsticks to the plate.

“Uh…? Uh? Why?”

“What are you going to do after lunch?”

“Huh? I have time until the next class. Are you going to exercise lightly?”

“Really? Then come join me.”

While I was attracting Lilac’s attention, Hani Kang picked up the cherry tomatoes and put them away.

On my plate.

No, why the fuck would you give that to me?

“Really? I’m good!”

Fuck it, Lee Yu-na’s affinity for me who doesn’t even exist would be bad, but it’s better than having the main character get mad at both of them at the same time.

This little crack later becomes a big accident.

He’s like a real friend’s son and helps me.

You really just want to roll it up and eat it later.

Lilac searched for the tomato as if it had come to mind again, but the tomato was already gone from the plate, so he tilted his head.

“Heh.”

“hehehe.”

Then two women looked at me strangely.

Lee Yu-na, who had not been interested in me throughout the meal, spoke to me for the first time.

“You look good.”

Compared to when he spoke to Lilac, his voice was fucking cold, but surprisingly, at this level, he seemed kind to her.

And it was the same with Kang Hani.

“Yeah, good sense~”

Yes, you helped. But you eat the fucking tomatoes.

I don’t like it either.

Let’s stare at it with a little rebellion. Kang Ha-ni, who giggled at me, didn’t seem to have any intention of eating it herself even if she died.

Can I leave it?

You cannot waste crops born from the sweat of farmers and the energy of the land.

It’s not a joke, you shouldn’t leave it for real.

Among the later villains or heroes, there are those who have relevant abilities.

*

Kang Ha-ni smiled admirably as she looked at Kang So-hyun eating tomatoes.

Really, from the first day I saw him, he was an amazing guy.

If Lilac had taken the tomatoes from the plate with her chopsticks there, she would have been quite offended.

I’m sure he didn’t scream right away, but the atmosphere must have gotten pretty rough.

I don’t know, but I don’t think that girl will like it too much.

But how Lilac figured out what to do sooner than she did, and stopped it casually, which was completely different from her brusque tone and appearance.

But does he hate tomatoes too?

How come your expression is dark the whole time you eat?

It was strangely pleasant to have new things in common.

I wondered if he had done something a little sorry, but the way he frowned while eating the tomatoes was strangely cute, so I laughed.

Because I grew up in a strict family, I haven’t had any friends until now, but maybe that’s what we call friends?

“Do you like tomatoes?”

“Your eyes are knotholes.”

“I will continue to ask for my tomatoes.”

“Wouldn’t it be okay if I didn’t pick it up from now on?”

“It’s good for the body.”

“If it’s good for you, eat it yourself.”

“Are you crossing the line?”

“Which crosses the line?”

Yeah, it seemed right.

Watching him say nonsense that there is no way tomato ketchup can be made with tomatoes, I naturally laughed.

“Let’s stop talking nonsense and go exercise.”

Lilac is also a bit distant, so I don’t think he’s a bad guy, and he seems to be able to make good friends during his academy life.
