Flags (1)
In front of the dormitory, I smiled bitterly when I received the luggage that Ryu Seo-yeon gave me.
“Thank you for many things today.”
It was winter, so it was already dark. As it was the body of an Awoken, I didn’t feel the cold very much, but every time I opened my mouth, the breath kept coming out.
Ryu Seo-yeon said calmly as if it was nothing special.
“What can I do with this. Let’s say I’m paying off the debt I did wrong yesterday with this.”
Then, after hesitating for a moment, she brushed off her flowing hair and continued.
“····I saw what kind of misunderstanding Hong Jae-Yu had, but don’t worry about him.”
I didn’t care about it until now, but this time Hong Jae-yoo suspected me because of the original ‘Seo Ji-han’ in this world.
‘If you look at it, that’s why we got into an argument on the first day of the winter semester.’
I was planning to avoid being bothered by the excuse of amnesia, but it seems that Seo Ji-han’s karma is bigger than I thought. Clearly, not only Hong Jae-yu, but I thought that there might be more guys with bad feelings for me.
“Ryoo Seo-yeon, let me ask you one thing. What the hell did I do in the past, no. What did I do?”
Thanks to the deactivation of the perks, the ‘strong spirit’ does not appear even in the rage of emotions and stress from before. So, I was able to make a rational decision.
We need to know what happened before we get more tangled up.
“At first, I thought it was simple. It’s a joke because a guy with no ability can hold up in class B. But I don’t think that’s the case. Why are you doing this?”
“…that’s a little too much for me to say.”
An unexpected answer came back. Ryu Seo-yeon, who was at a loss for a moment, said with an unwilling expression.
“Do I really need to know the bad news?”
“Of course. There’s no guarantee that something like today won’t happen again.”
“What if there is. Are you trying to tell them that I lost my memory and I don’t know?”
“Yeah…”
Ryu Seo-yeon shook her head.
“No, I’d rather use it to fuck you. Even if you lose your memory, it doesn’t mean that what you’ve done will never happen to them.”
Have you built that level of karma…?
If so, that’s correct. It’s my fault that I lost my memory. No, like Hong Jae-yu’s reaction earlier, he may not believe it at all.
Anyway, it seems difficult to hear about the past from Ryu Seo-yeon. So, let me ask you one more thing.
“Then Ryu Seo-yeon, who are you?”
Ryu Seo-yeon did not answer any of my questions. He just smiled quietly and meaningfully.
If you think about the reason why Seo-yeon Ryu doesn’t tell the story of the past, it was a sufficient answer.
After returning to my room, I lay in bed without changing clothes. body and mind aches.
‘By the way, I’ve never been so sick here before.’
there was no If you want to get sick even a little bit, it was better with the ‘folk remedies’ privilege. It is not true anymore, but the ‘folk remedies’ were not triggered by losing consciousness rather than sleeping on my own. Glad to know now.
I looked up at the ceiling and remembered the conversation I had with Ryu Seo-yeon before breaking up.
‘·· Now I understand why the Hardcore difficulty.’
This damn game didn’t just make the stats the worst. Due to the actions of ‘Seo Ji-han’, even the reputation and favorability of those around him started from negative rather than zero.
It was right to see Ryu Seo-yeon as being kind to me rather than being favorable to me. If you look closely, it seems that something happened between Ryu Seo-yeon and her Seo Ji-han.
‘Seo Ji-han, was this pure human garbage?’
What the heck did he say that he even heard that he even touched an asshole like Hong Jae-yu? If it is an ability, it is also an ability.
‘103rd Tower’ is a game that cannot be cleared solo. You have to recruit colleagues through favorable impressions, share roles, and nurture them. It is fatal to start with a favorability penalty in such a game.
Besides, I don’t even have a friend to help me right now, so I have to grow alone against the enemies who have gotten stronger due to the unfortunate random count.
privilege.
I probably wouldn’t have even started if I hadn’t given them a chance to use even this.
‘I guess you shouldn’t just focus on your abilities.’
I had to rebuild my reputation and favorability and build it from scratch. To do that, you had to know what had happened in the past. Even if you can’t do something that hasn’t happened, you can’t make a mistake or repeat it.
As for the twin story Hong Jae-yu said earlier, the fact that Oh Yun-ha knew me yesterday means that my story has flowed into Class A…
If the rumors of me with the worst reputation spread, when I enter Class A, the likeability will start from negative. Maybe it was already.
Not as long as you need to act with them later.
‘Anyone to ask this.’
The problem is that I have no one to tell me about this past. I searched my smartphone meaninglessly, but in vain.
“Eh. There is no answer.”
Then I got a text message from someone.
[Ji Han-ah. I heard that you missed class today because you were sick. If it hurts tomorrow too…]
Daesoo Lee. He was the teacher in our class.
‘···okay.’
If you were Seo Ji-han’s homeroom teacher, you would know what happened. He was the only one to lean on right now. It’s okay to think that the attitude is the only thing that is favorable to me right now.
[Teacher. I have a question for you.]
Tiling! I sent a text message and got a reply right away.
‘The typing is very fast… what?’
It wasn’t the reply Lee Dae-soo sent. It was a new notification from the system.
“Again, what?”
I felt an ominous touch. Then came a notification in the familiar form, marked with a highlighted phrase.
[*’Ellen Aiden’ is interested in you.]
‘This···.’
It was a ‘crisis detection’ system, one of the systems in the game. Simply put, it could be called a system for aggro management.
The characters who meet as the ‘enemy’ of the scenario are interested in the playable character ‘Park Noah’. If they interfere with their plans or continue to install, ‘crisis events’ have occurred, such as trying to remove them if their level of interest exceeds a certain threshold.
I was able to use this function too. But when I checked whose name it was, I felt a chill in my body.
‘·······Why is this bastard, me?’
Ellen Aiden.
A villain who is an antithesis of Noah Park, who is an outsider, and who later grows into a ‘witch of blue flames’.
At first, he was kind and even pretty, so I thought he was a heroine like a childhood friend whom he had a relationship with from the top. However, it turned out that there were many gamers who said that the back of their head was tingling because she was a villain who hated Noah Park.
A top-born magician, she looks kind and kind on the outside, but that goes beyond that. She prioritizes profit and has a strong sense of inferiority.
The reason he disliked Noah Park was because of jealousy that he had more magical talents while using the same ‘fire’ magic.
Through such a sense of inferiority, he was able to use ‘Blue Flame’ by training only fire-type magic, and in a way, he was a villain who grew up with it as a driving force.
By the way, how did you get to know me…?
I can only guess what happened in today’s magic lecture. No matter how the poor wizard spoke, it was clear that it had reached his ears. It doesn’t matter why Ellen Aiden was interested in me. She could be a simple play to the last, or it could be retaliation as an insult to magic.
“…I’ll turn.”
Ellen Aiden has the potential to continue to appear in the second half of the scenario depending on the route, and it ranks in the top five when it comes to notoriety.
Its notoriety lies in its ability to continue to annoy them. If you go to the academy tomorrow, you may have already come to my class to see me. A lot of things have already happened, and even a new villain is intertwined?
…is irreversible. Whether he wanted to kill me or bury me with an image, it was too easy for Aiden.
‘At a time like this…’
I immediately sent another text message to Lee Dae-soo.
[And I think I’ll have to take a few days off from school because I’m really sick…]
Flag avoidance is the answer.
I have already applied for a night out for an outside expedition this Friday. If you rest until Thursday as an excuse to be ill and bounce out of the academy, he won’t be able to do anything about it either.
In the meantime, if you’re lucky, your interest in me might drop.
“Kuk Kuk…, Kuk Kuk!”
I laughed to myself and grabbed my head in the headache that came again. I’ll have to activate the perks again and go to sleep first…
“Master Daesu. Where does it hurt?”
In the office, Jenna Walkers looked at Dae-Soo Lee with a worried face. Dark dark circles were engraved under her eyes on her straight face.
Lee Dae-soo shook his head and pinched his brow.
“No. I couldn’t sleep last night.”
“Why? Do you have insomnia?”
“Haha, that’s not it. I just didn’t sleep until dawn and waited for a call, but it didn’t come.”
“Yeon… Rock, huh?”
At Daesoo Lee’s words, Jenna Walkers’ eyebrows twitched.
“That’s right~~.”
Jenna pretended to be indifferent, then suddenly folded her arms and crossed her legs. Lee Dae-soo did not notice it and glanced at the phone with the screen turned off.
“Hey, who did you contact?”
When Jenna asked unnaturally if she was trying to show an attitude that she wasn’t curious about, Lee Dae-soo replied with a bitter smile.
“It’s Jihan.”
“Are you Seo Ji-han?”
“Yes. Aspiring hero you know.”
“Hmmm…”
Unintentionally, due to Lee Dae-soo, Seo Ji-han’s impression of A-class instructor, Jenna Walkers, was lowered by one level.
“For some reason, I don’t even sleep and wait for a call. If you have any questions, you can ask them at school.”
In a blunt tone of voice, Lee Dae-soo patted the back of the head.
“It’s because I’m sick today.”
“Uh, okay?”
“Yes. I’m worried because it seems like it hurts a lot to lose contact in the morning.”
Lee Dae-soo did not know, but at that time, Seo-han was stretching with a healthy body.
“Ouch!”
It was thanks to folk remedies that had a certain performance.
