Chapter 39-1
Chapter 39-1
In the end, only three of us remained in the classroom: I, Jenny, and Eileen.
That means. All the other students have already formed groups except for the three of us.
Hah. Here we go again.
I sigh inwardly.
[Goddess of Destiny says she was definitely aiming for this!!!]
Unlike before, the constellation screams at me with a message.
Well, I doubt Eileen was aiming for this.
But it does seem a bit too coincidental to be honest.
So, it makes sense for the constellation to be speaking like that.
After all, the only ones left are the three of us.
I see.
Eileen nods embarrassed as if she hadnt seen this coming, and scratches the side of her head.
We stand awkwardly, silent for a moment.
Whats up with you two being so awkward? Its been weeks since your failed date.
Jenny crosses a line she shouldnt have crossed.
Hey b**ch! Why do you say that!
Its true that I dont want to get involved with Eileen, but that doesnt mean I want to antagonize her.
In fact, Im pretty sure that what happened back then isnt a very good memory for her.
Well, a kid and three girls barging in on a date and ruining it, thats to be expected.
I glanced at Eileen out of the corner of my eye.
She looked unexpectedly calm.
What? Shes not as mad as I thought she would be, but just in case.
Lets try to change the subject.
I wasnt being awkward, so dont mistake yourself. Anyway, were the only ones left, so lets set a date for the evaluation.
Yes. I think so.
Okay. Lets do it quickly.
With that, we sat down in the classroom and started meeting.
***
Its been 10 minutes since the meeting started.
So. Lets take the first round.
Dont. If you get greedy, you might get a lower score. I think its better to play it safe and do the second round.
Only ten minutes had passed, and I and Eileen were at odds.
Youre right, the secondary assessment is more informative and safer, but honestly, we dont need to play it safe with our skills, do we?
Technically, we dont have to play it safe with Eileen.
Eileen shakes her head in disapproval.
I dont deny that were quite high up in the rankings, but overconfidence leads to failure, and there are sure to be quite a few good people in the first round, so I think its best to play it safe and go for the second round.
Ah, shes stubborn!
But honestly, Eileen isnt wrong.
Theres no reason to compete with the best just to get a few extra points.
Its better to just score higher on the secondary assessment, and its safer, too.
But thats not the problem.
On a purely performance-based assessment, I would agree with Eileen.
However, in the secondary evaluation, the main episode, to be precise, is the time when the Church guys cause the terrorism.
In that episode, Kim Soo-yong, his classmate and the games heroine, Lane, Professor Academy, and the students who take the Secondary Evaluation are the ones who stop the terrorism of the Church.
In other words. If I take the secondary assessment, I will be forced to be involved in the main episode.
Yeah. I wont go there even if I get beaten to death.
Kim Soo-yong can manage without me anyway.
Theres no reason for me to go.
The hero is supposed to do the hard work.
But. That aside, why is Eileen so stubborn with the secondary evaluation?
As far as I can remember, Eileen didnt appear in the first main episode.
That said, I watched the first evaluation.
I have no idea what caused this sudden change.
So I was struggling to understand Eileens actions.
Whoa. Whoa. Eileen. I know youre worried about Kane, but you need to calm down.
Jenny gestures for her to calm down.
Its not like that!
Oh. It was?
Judging by her reddened face and strong denial, Jennys words must be true.
I was wondering why it was different from the original.
Obviously, based on a simple performance evaluation, the first assessment is overwhelmingly risky.
Thats because theres a big difference between having information and not having information.
Of course, the professors are in charge of safety, so its safe to say that its unlikely that anyone will die or be seriously injured, but there are no absolutes.
From Eileens point of view, even if she could cover one person, she might not be able to cover two.
So, from her perspective, theres no reason to risk the initial assessment.
I appreciate your concern, but
The problem is, a second assessment is more dangerous!
On the one hand, Im grateful that shes worried about me, but on the other hand, as someone who knows the future, Im worried, frustrated, and scrambling.
I cant do this.
I didnt want to do this.
Eileens personality is high-minded, but shes also very competitive.
So its easy to get her to do the initial assessment with this one word.
If so, you can naturally lead her to the first assessment by saying.
Tsk-tsk.
Huh?
She tilts her head as if she doesnt understand my sudden change in mood.
Are you scared? Then just quit.
Shaken by my harsh tone, her face turned red-blue and her body trembled.
Looks like my provocation hit her hard.
Well, to be exact, she suggested we go first round because she was worried about me, but here I am provoking her instead.
Well, I didnt expect that one of the first-year aces would suggest doing a second round evaluation just because its risky~ Hmm. So thats why you insist we do the first round of evaluation because you were scared. I guess it cant be helped since it wasnt your fault for being scared.
When I emphasized the word Scared, I noticed that Eileens trembling body suddenly stopped. Then, with a face as cold as ice, she opened her mouth.
Alright, Kane. If youre so confident, lets do the first evaluation. However, if youre in danger, I wont help you at all.
Did the provocation really get to her?
Honestly, I intended to provoke her, but I didnt expect her to respond with such a cold face.
Jenny also looks a bit surprised, alternating between looking at us with a puzzled face and whispering in my ear.
Hey, wasnt that too much of a provocation? It seems like shes really pissed off.
No, I didnt expect her to get that angry either.
Watching us talking quietly, I can tell that Eileen is not happy as she turns her head with a displeased expression.
Hmph!
Shes definitely p**sed off.
