63 – 8. Preparing for the midterm exam (2) – Hunting festival is a stagnant game.
Akashic Record, shortened to Akare.
It is a kind of community where you can anonymously share your academy life, pass on tips, or just chat.
Of course, it can only be used in magic tools that have to be purchased at a high price. They say that cheap devices are not compatible or something.
‘…..I’ve never seen anything like this before.’
Even after looking back over 23,000 hours of memories, I have never seen anything like this.
If it had actually come out, it would have been useful.
The Academy collapse incident, Act 3, Act 7, etc.
Seeing something I used to see in real life in this world feels quite different.
Title: I have a crush on a senior.. Will you accept me if I confess it to you?
So cute~
First, approach slowly.
Go ahead and say let’s get engaged right away!
The above comment is really bad.. Will you take responsibility if I get kicked?
Title: I got kicked again. Please give me some comfort.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
That’s a nuisance, you bastard.
I feel really bad;; If you get rejected once, you should give up.
ㄴ???:Your fiance is passing by~
“…..”
It’s different, but it’s all the same.
As I was watching Akare with concentration, Xena opened her mouth with an energetic and slightly arrogant expression.
What the heck. You may not know. So this is what things are these days…
“Hmm..! How do you feel?”
“I’ve never seen anything like this before. It’s fascinating.”
“Do you know how disappointed I was thinking that I was the only one who didn’t tell you? But how could you not know this..? It’s strange..”
Jenna expressed her doubts, twirling her red hair. It’s cute, but annoying.
When I think about it, I come from a noble family.
In modern times, it’s like a second generation chaebol who was kicked out and doesn’t know how to use a smartphone.
It’s not that he didn’t know what the world was like, he just didn’t know the world.
I’m embarrassed.
“By the way, who wrote this? There’s a first-year student who goes with my senior.”
“Why are you looking at that again? Give it to me now!”
Jenna, with an embarrassed face, took her magic tool away. Judging by the light blush on my earlobes, it doesn’t seem like the content is very wholesome.
What on earth is this about?
Well, that’s not what’s important.
I asked a smiling Jenna.
“So what brought you here again?”
“Ah. Do we have to do something to come and go? If it’s cream pasta, I guess I’ll tell you~.”
Jenna confidently leans on her shoulder and says, ‘I just came to play!’
It’s definitely a manga game with something like this as the main character.
I am worried about the future of the academy.
“I see. Pur, let’s eat lunch.”
“Yeah..! What are we going to do today? Let’s do it together.”
As we prepared to cook, Pur placed the cutlery as if he was used to it.
When he doesn’t respond at all, he shouts in a panicked voice.
“Why is everyone reacting like this? Aren’t you curious why I came?”
“He said he just came.”
“Oh, it’s on Dyers’ face. Let me wipe it off.”
“Thank you, Pur.”
“hehehe, what’s between ‘us’?”
“……I’ve never touched it before… So naturally…”
As she continued to ignore Jenna, she lowered her head and started muttering something.
It’s not audible, but the atmosphere is a bit scary.
It’s like a time bomb that will explode if left unattended.
But it’s just fun, so I’ll just keep ignoring it.
“Why didn’t my senior even reject it, and if I had done it, he would have scolded me not to fuss about the subject… Our relationship? What is that?”
Now I’m even eating my lips.
“Stop messing around alone and try this.”
“He’s always so strict with me… He’s really bad…!”
These days, the number of times Jenna shows signs of anxiety has increased significantly.
She becomes sullen when told she is going to daycare, and when she tries to make something with Purang, she becomes sullen again.
I put a spoon full of creamy pasta sauce into her mouth as she lowered her head.
In an instant, the cold expression on my face disappears and I am filled with happiness.
As expected, Laonzena. It’s good because it’s simple.
“……hehehe. It’s delicious.”
“I’ll do what you like, so just sit back and wait.”
“Yes…”
The despondent look from earlier was gone and Jenna sat down in her seat with her hands clasped together.
I asked while setting up the dish, which was a perfect combination with Puru.
“So what brought you here? To introduce you to Akare?”
“Yum, yum. Ah, they say it’s Ira, it’s because of my pity…Gulp, it’s here..!”
“If you are a human being, speak human language like a human being.”
It’s cute to see him eating pasta, but you can’t understand a word he’s saying.
I took a quick look at Pur and it seemed like he understood something.
How did you really find out? Do women have something in common among themselves?
“Hmm.. I guess you came here because of competition-related reasons?”
“How on earth did you find out about that?”
“Yum, yum. That’s right..!”
“……So what kind of competition is it?”
Jenna, who was eagerly eating pasta, manipulated her magic tool and showed it to me.
This is…
“Senior, let’s go to the hunting festival!”
This is a special event.
.
Hunting festival.
This is a competition designed by the first delegate to check the influence of the powerful student council.
Competitive survival taking place in the Ardennes Forest in the management area under the Representative.
Hunting, that is, students’ skills are evaluated through the score of the monsters they hunt. However, this does not mean that it is a must.
However, as an exception, membership in the delegates is mandatory.
Until the 19th episode, ‘gathering’ was not recognized as points, but from then on, points obtained through gathering are also reflected in the competition.
In other words, it is a game where you win by defeating the most monsters and gathering as many plants as you can within the time limit.
‘Usually the hunting festival is held around summer vacation, but it’s unusual.’
Sometimes it is held in spring.
“So what do you think, Senior Dyers? You want to go out, right?!”
From Noble mtl dot com
Jenna urges her to answer with her bright eyes.
Still, our Jenna wants to go this far, but of course she doesn’t.
“I’m busy with work.”
“Ah..! Why again… Why..!”
The hunting festival only has high symbolism and the rewards are meager.
Of course, it’s an opportunity to show off one’s abilities to a great family, but do I really need to do that? Does not exist.
Pur also didn’t seem to be particularly attracted to him.
Because she and I are both busy.
“I also have to prepare for the midterm exam… I’m sorry, Jenna.”
“Even Senior Pur…!”
Jenna, in despair, grabbed my arm and started making the familiar clink.
Sometimes I think this guy’s intelligence is comparable to that of a dog.
“Did you just think something strange?!”
“I didn’t do it.”
I smoothly avoided Jenna’s harsh gaze. It’s just a needless feeling.
“If Pur says he’s leaving, I’ll think about it.”
“Is that true?!”
The guy who was cornered began to persuade Pur.
“Here, the Ardennes forest is so pretty…! There are even snow hares…”
“But I have to prepare for the exam…”
“Uh, uh… Flowers! There are so many pretty flowers! You won’t regret it..!”
“But I have to prepare for the exam…”
Pur, who is timid, is surprisingly reluctant to say anything.
Pur is not that persuasive.
Such amateur negotiations don’t work.
In fact, you can’t even hear what they are saying because they are whispering among themselves.
“Ugh.. Well.. If you look here, the first place prize is..”
“But preparing for the exam… Well, wouldn’t it be okay to go out at least once to reminisce about our school days?”
I was persuaded!
How on earth did you manage to capture that difficult Fur?
As I approached, puzzled, Jenna held out a magic tool.
“Would you like to take a look at Dyers? It’s competition time here, so here’s the prize money…”
“Even so, it would be inconvenient… Huh?”
I couldn’t help but believe my eyes.
It is not because the prize money has increased nearly 10 times compared to the game.
A replica of ultra-high-quality materials, one of the top prizes.
It is the ingredient for a lifespan elixir that will solve time-limited diseases.
An incredibly rare material that can never be obtained through normal routes.
I couldn’t help but stroke Jenna’s head.
Her ears perked up.
“Ugh. Why?”
“Well done Jenna.”
“Well, then…!”
“I think it’s okay to go out at least once to make memories.”
.
“Raonzena, Pur, Howlan… No, just Dyers. Is it correct to apply as a party of 3 people?”
“That’s right.”
“You can catch it by 10 PM. You can put what you catch in this special backpack.”
Applying wasn’t that difficult.
“Foot.. Did they participate just to give it a try?”
“I don’t know if I don’t know the topic or if I just can’t think.”
“Aren’t they three completely idiotic siblings? They were kicked out by two dirt stick commoners!”
The problem is that this competition has ‘competitive survival’ elements rather than cooperation.
Furthermore, Pur and Xena are ‘commoners’ who are relatively discriminated against in the academy, which is predominantly aristocratic.
‘Dyers’.
For these three reasons, we are in a situation where we are being checked by an evil team even before we start.
With a cigarette in my mouth, I spoke to the evil team consisting of two men and a woman.
“That’s the rabbit we caught. Give it to us when we can say nice things about it.”
“It may sound childish to say it, but we decided that this is our area, right? If we hunt here, it’s all ours.”
“Where can you find such force!”
“Give it back..!”
Bold Jenna and scared Fur protested, but the evil team easily ignored them.
“Then let’s play by the rules. Don’t you know it’s a competitive game? It’s your fault for losing.”
I was trying to hunt with a ghost, but the rabbits I caught were taken away by them.
It was a ridiculous mistake that only happens once every 23,000 hours.
But as an old man, how could he be so angry at newbies? In this case, be merciful…
“If you mess up, you should try to get rid of it too. It goes out quickly. This is why beginners are the problem. Beginners with no skills end up in the wrong place.”
“Did you just say everything?!”
Tall.
Beginner.
You’re a beginner.
“…….”
Once upon a time, when Dyers was working under the name of [Project 7], The ‘Hunting Festival’ was featured as the main event.
But isn’t it that newbies’ grievances never end?
-What’s going on guys?
-That person has taken over and is threatening me.. Newbies are being killed.. It hurts so much..
A named ranker was illegally occupying the hunting festival that was open for newbies to enjoy and was taking away the seat rent.
I couldn’t stand watching the chicks die, so I made a bet with that ranker.
It’s still a manga game so there’s no influx!
-The enemy with the highest score wins for 1 hour. But is it fun to harass beginners?
-ㅋ Are you confident? I will have to delete my ID soon. f*ck that’s fun lol
-ㅇㅇ Keep your promise.
-Kkkkkkkkkkkk? Jol? Jol?
-From now on, you will not be able to dig up a single game or plant root.
-I’ve been playing for about 10,000 hours, but damn hahahaha.
After an hour passed, I could no longer see him.
That day is called Newbie Liberation Day.
“Well, did I say something wrong? What difference does it make if all the things that have flaws come together? This is basically a game of stealing, kid.”
“You really…!”
I held Jenna’s hand and stopped her.
“Be patient.”
“But those people do whatever they want with what we caught..!”
“No, what was taken away was taken away.”
After saying that, I put out my cigarette.
‘Kkiiiiik!’
The ghosts that were busy moving lose their power and disappear.
I was planning to leave everything about the hunting festival to the ghosts. Because it was annoying.
I have no intention of leaving it to the ghosts anymore.
I opened my mouth to the evil team that was staring at me with puzzled eyes.
“From now on, you will not be able to dig up a single game or plant.”
The sin of touching me is a very serious one.
