chapter 3
3 – Episode 3 Blue Entrance Ceremony.
Oh? Do you feel like you are possessed by a novel?
“Ouch, Shivaaal…!”
As soon as I tried to get up, a sharp pain wrapped around my body.
I felt the urge to roll, but I had to endure it because the moment I rolled, more pain would strike me.
Honestly, I thought that just because I was consuming my innate energy, I would feel exhausted or it would stop at that level, but this wasn’t a problem at that level.
I can guarantee that even if you step on a Lego right after you hit your pinky toe on the threshold, it won’t hurt like this.
I would try to put up with it if it was simply painful, but it was the worst in many ways because I was dizzy and had a bad stomach.
After trembling in pain for such a long time, I finally heard a strangely familiar voice the moment I wanted the pain to subside.
– The creator doesn’t like you.
-You twisted the fate of this world.
-The creator acknowledged the change of the world by you.
-You must lead the world to a more complete ending.
Hmm.
Honestly, I thought that if the creator was really my friend, it would be more snarky, but it passed more quietly than I thought.
Or it could be that he has some restrictions and he can’t act as he pleases.
If that system message was written by my friend himself, it would roughly mean something like this.
-Why are you fucking with my novel?
-The content was twisted because of you.
-Take responsibility and fix it, or do whatever you want.
-If you’re that good, try editing it in a more fun way than what I wrote.
Baby. I’m pissed
To be honest, I originally had no intention of doing anything more than this, but being in a novel meant that something like a novel had happened, so I needed a purpose.
“Hey, can I go back when I finish this?”
I tried to ask the question in the air to see if an answer would come back, but no answer came back.
That’s right.
Where does that dirty personality go?
The moment I thought I had nothing to do, the door opened and a person came in.
“Oh, are you awake?”
It was a strange face, but it wasn’t a very memorable face.
It was definitely a female student standing in the row next to me before the terror attack in the auditorium.
With her glasses on and her voluminous hair tied back in two ponytails, she had the impression of looking calm even at first glance.
“Uh, so. Was it next to you in that auditorium?”
“Oh, my name is Chae Yu-jin.”
“Yes, I am Kang So-hyun. Nice to meet you.”
“Oh yes, me too. Do you remember the situation? He suddenly collapsed, and Mr. Illak was brought to the infirmary.”
A lilac? Maybe he’s not the main character, so he’s kind.
I wonder if it’s normal to bring a fainting person to the infirmary, but well, it looks like there’s no trauma, and it’s a setting that the academy’s infirmary is better than a decent hospital, so it’s a reasonable decision.
“I wanted to wait for you to wake up, but a broadcaster came out to cover and called me out.”
Oh, did the TV station do coverage?
To say the least, it was very cool.
I couldn’t see it clearly because I was fainting, but the sight of the golden flash cutting through the black flame and spreading the light was enough to make anyone feel something holy.
“Yuhak and Illak seem to be receiving commendations. She hasn’t even taken a formal course yet, but it seems like she’s made a mark.”
“Oh, that’s great.”
“And again…”
Hmm, I tried to pretend I didn’t know, but it seemed like if I didn’t know, I’d be bothered all day today.
Usually, I would accept it in moderation, but my head was dizzy and I wanted to be alone.
“Hey Yujin? Isn’t that Miss Eugene?”
“Yes…?”
“Do you have anything to do with me? Or did the nurse ask you to watch it instead? It’s okay now, can I go?”
“Oh, actually, it’s nothing special. May I ask you one question?”
“Can’t you?”
“Yeah, what if…yes?”
“I just woke up after passing out, so I’m dizzy. That’s why I don’t think you can answer me.”
“Didn’t you just say it was okay?”
Oh, needlessly sharp.
“That’s because I’m sorry if I keep waiting. Anyway, thank you for waiting for me to wake up and I will definitely return it when the semester starts.”
She started shaking her limbs exaggeratedly as if she was embarrassed when she hit the iron wall.
Wow, the extras that don’t even appear in the original work are fucking excessive, in case the author isn’t my friend.
“Oh no, wait! I mean, I can’t stand it when I have questions!”
“That’s your situation, and in society you have to learn to hold back from being curious.”
Actually, I don’t even know what the question is, but why are you so impregnable? You might think so.
But listen carefully.
The hunch of a veteran with more than 10 years of experience as a web novel reader was telling,
The first character that shows interest to a baby is generally annoying.
In addition, there is no information because it is a character that is presumed to be dead in the original work? It was obvious that answering the question would triple the annoyance.
If you ask who will bet on the future because it is confirmed, seriously, Cheonyuhak can bet on it.
Or not? Cheonyuhak is good, so you should be able to live well with one hand.
“Over there.”
“Oh, I don’t buy it.”
“Can you stop treating me like a merchant? Ah, is it that hard to accept a real question!?”
“Oh, difficult.”
Huh? What would you do if you remembered that you were a foolish bastard?
That’s better than being stuck here and there.
At least until April, when the academy started in earnest, I had no time to be kind to anyone.
And being sick wasn’t a lie at all.
“You are like that!”
Oh shit.
I wrestled so hard not to listen, but I couldn’t believe I just screamed.
My fault was that I hadn’t covered my ears before being deceived by the modest appearance.
I can’t say I’m deaf now, can I?
Let’s carry wireless earphones with us from now on.
What if there were wireless earphones? What did you say? I’m sorry, I didn’t hear~ and I can move on.
But what? Are you like that?
“I saw it all because it was right next to me. The moment something flashed in your hand, Mr. Illak suddenly became stronger.”
Uh, fuck.
You must have checked the surroundings before writing?
“And you were lying down with that recoil!”
“Isn’t it…?”
“If you don’t tell me honestly, I will spread rumors.”
“Contrary to how you look, you are a bad bitch…?”
“On the contrary, if you tell me honestly, I will never tell anyone.”
No, it must have been if you saw it with your own eyes. What are you going to do? Do you bother to check again?
“Why did you do that?”
“…What?”
What is it? Are you a crazy psychopath? So you’re saying I should have let them all die?
Perhaps reading my expression, she hurriedly shook her hand.
“No, it’s a skill that looks burdensome at first glance, but if you do it quietly like that, no one will notice. On the other hand, Mr. Illak, who became a hero thanks to you, received a citation, isn’t it unfair? It’s not even half of that achievement… But anyway, Mr. Sohyeon has a share, right?”
Isn’t it a waste?
“Isn’t it a waste?”
I’ve never really thought of that.
I regretted it because it hurt so much, but other than that, nothing else. The greed for the things that will follow after that is not enough to say that it is not at all.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t felt the reality of being in a novel yet, and it might be because I don’t really like the main character of this beggarly obsessive novel.
“Why? What kind of backstabbing type are you? Or do you have other tricks? Or are you a good-natured fool?”
It seems that this is a patient with delusional disease that is worse than I thought.
However, to a patient with delusion, ‘You are a friend with a very severe delusion! hahahaha, think as you please!’ It’s not a very good choice.
So wouldn’t it be better to return a convincing answer?
But when I tried to answer, I couldn’t come up with the right words to express.
There’s no way I’ll understand if you just say that.
So you think I’m possessed by a novel? I don’t have the confidence to handle the snowballs that will roll later.
“Hey?”
The reason why I stay quiet even after helping Lilac.
I am probably the second best person to know this world.
Apart from my friend who is the original author and creator, you can say that he knows him better than anyone else.
So I am well aware of the events the main characters experience in this novel.
I came up with characters who are sacrificed for growth and trials that are rather heavy for students who are still students.
It was a slight discomfort when I encountered it through writing, but now, when it comes to the world I have to live in, the story is different.
One of the reasons was the selfishness of not wanting to see the world my friend created over the night and the suffering of its characters.
Simply put, I don’t like waste.
I am a simple human who thinks that if you can laugh, it’s good to laugh, and even if it’s childish, a happy ending is the best.
So if I have the ability to do that, I will do my best.
As long as you don’t get permission, you might think you want to fix this world into a decent place, right?
So let’s sum it up.
“It was like a friend’s son.”
“…Yes?”
“He said he helped me a little because he seemed like his friend’s son would go through hardships. Isn’t that strange?”
“Hey Sohyeon, how old are you?”
“I must be the same age as you.”
I was a little older on the inside, but at least I wasn’t old enough to have a friend’s son.
“How can a 17-year-old act like an old man?”
I’m not old enough to listen to Mr.
…Really?

“This is the video obtained at the time. Chairman.”
“Hmm, unfortunately the quality is not very good. It’s okay though, as long as you can recognize it. It must have been difficult, but I did my best.”
The woman called the chairman looked at the video with poor quality for a while and then smiled.
“There are some very interesting cadets coming in. Yes?”
It can’t be said to be perfect, but the prospective cadet, who hadn’t even officially entered yet, was not enough to respond to the sudden terrorism, so it was full of energy.
Well, let’s just say, the two of them were in the middle of the interview. I knew right away.
Because they were the protagonists of an unprecedented incident where both of them took the top spot at the same time.
You can truly say that he is a genius sent from heaven.
However, she felt that was not the most interesting part of the video.
A student who is still just a rough cut a hellfire with a sword?
A passing dog would treat it as a joke, but it was a clear fact.
However, it is also true that Lilac’s inaction was not to that extent.
In the end, it is a story that Lilac hid her powers for some reason, or some other factor worked, but this time it was clearly the latter.
“Cache. Are you sure you deleted the original video?”
“Yes, no one will have the same video.”
“Well, well done.”
Lilac’s expression as if she was surprised by the power she possessed.
And a dark-haired boy looking at the lilacs from a distance.
It was difficult to see clearly due to the poor quality of the video, but his expression was never tinged with fear.
But I heard that he passed out of fear just before the incident was over.
“Did he really faint from fear?”
In fact, she considered lilacs and tufted flowers to be treasures, but she didn’t think they were huge jackpots.
“Come to think of it. He seems to have said something like predicting a terrorist attack, but I’m curious.”
Because, according to her theory, unexpected gains such as a sudden burst of lottery tickets were closer to the jackpot than predictable treasures.
Of course, like most of her lottery tickets, the probability of winning was infinitely small, but this time her lottery ticket had a part that strangely made her look forward to it.
“Where is our student?”
A woman who stood like a secretary.
Cathy paid a moment of silence for the poor boy who caught the director’s eye.
