281 – How Are You (2)

Kara almost pushed me away from participating in the performance, but it ended when I vehemently refused.

I don’t know if I’m going out on my own, but I don’t like it like this

“Kara, let’s go together. Then, I’ll go.”

“If I go out, I will commit suicide.”

Kara also steadfastly refused to go to the concert. Because of her personality, she absolutely hates performing.

Even if I go out, there really is nothing to do. Even if it were necessary, it would only be dancing and it would be too dull.

It might be okay to have some suitable music, but in the end, singing is the only answer for a performance.

‘Shouldn’t that song even be done without accommodation?’

Unless I play the notes myself with a beatbox, there is a high possibility that most of it will be done without accompaniment.

If you look closely, the bards of this world are closer to singer-songwriters. An all-round musician who sings and composes music on his own.

However, as Antonio said, there are also cases that became famous for the so-called blushing. Most people come to see the face.

‘I’m not going to leave even if I die anyway.’

What if I go to a concert? I will dance to Billy Jean while making the notes myself with a beat box.

It’s laughable to even imagine, but it shows the will to never go out.

Above all, what is important now is not the performance, but the final exam. During afternoon training, you can tour the testing center where the final exam will be held.

“The exam will be conducted here.”

“It’s a lot bigger than I thought?”

“It really feels like a cave.”

The testing site resembles an actual cave, possibly for realism. Especially from the entrance, it was unusual.

There is a torch inside, so it won’t blind you, but your field of vision will be quite narrow.

In other words, the view of the things inside is narrow. It would be quite nice if this were implemented.

“As I said in the morning, we plan to give each person two chances. There will be plenty of time since we have a chance to look closely.”

“I don’t mind sharing information with each other for reference. Again, this test is about bridging the gap between theory and practice.”

After Marlboro, Yeonhwa Lee added an explanation. Narrowing the gap between theory and practice as much as possible.

So, even if we share information with each other, if the practice derived from theory is a failure, there is no answer.

Rather, it carries a high risk because it may share incorrect information. Incorrect information can destroy a theory.

So it would be better to do it yourself. Since the practice is based on theory anyway.

“The order will be in the order in which you are seated. After looking at everything, you can immediately come up with a theory.”

With those words, number 1 entered the cave first. Please note that it is not conducted like a real exam.

So, where enemies are placed, where useful objects are, what the terrain is like, etc.

This means just understanding this and finishing it. Of course, if you do this, you may have difficulty in practice, so you will be notified with an alarm.

Either they will be on alert when they arrive at close range, or they will be completely discovered and the situation will end in disaster.

Swoosh-

As a result, a question arises. I quietly raised my hand.

The professors each looked surprised when I raised my hand. And then they even looked at each other.

Is it that surprising that I raised my hand? I wonder how I am treated among professors.

“Hmm. Hmm. Student Sivar? Do you have any questions?”

After a moment of confusion, Yeonhwa Lee asked me in a pretty voice. At the same time, other students’ eyes also turned to me.

I slowly lowered my hand and said the question I wanted to ask.

“Can I finish quickly?”

“Yes. Instead, your score will vary depending on how efficiently you finish.”

“What if it’s fast and efficient?”

“Then it’s actually 100 points. But it’s better to adjust it so that other people can also try.”

I’m telling you to refrain from fighting over shit. I nodded.

If that’s the case, I have something to think about. Establishing a theory so that others can easily follow it.

In order to do that, we need to look closely at the internal situation, but it is enough because we were given two opportunities.

“Are you going to just charge in and end it this time?”

After the question and answer was over, Kara asked me. Most people are probably similar to Kara.

But not this time. I shook my head and opened my mouth.

“No. I want to do it efficiently.”

“Efficiently?”

“Yes. I have to do something like this.”

If you just attack ignorantly every time, your skills will not improve. My body is so good that I guess I don’t use my head.

I guess Kara knew what I meant, so she said and moved on. Just then, the student who went in first came out of the cave.

The student made a complicated expression in many ways and looked at the professor. She looks like she has a lot to say but she won’t say anything.

“Professor.”

“Speak.”

“That’s not true.”

It’s a lot harder than you think. Or vague.

The main problem is that if the difficulty level is difficult, you will move on to the difficult level, but it is ambiguous.

What can I say? I guess being vague means being dirty and making people angry.

After that, other students came in one after another, but most of them had similar reactions. He looks confused as to whether it is easy or difficult.

“Seup… It might not be easier than you think, right?”

“Is it difficult?”

“It’s not that it’s difficult, but there’s just too much to think about. There’s so much that I don’t know where to start.”

Just in time, Kara gave an appropriate explanation. There are so many ways, I don’t know which one to choose.

This means that there will be more variables. If there are many variables, it will be a headache to write a theory.

‘Should I just rush in and be done with it?’

It’s better to see once than to hear a hundred times, so I entered the exam room with a skeptical mind.

As I mentioned earlier, the testing site was similar to a cave in general, and although there were torches, the field of view was quite narrow.

Still, the darkness was no problem for me. Thanks to this, I was able to walk with ease.

‘There’s a poison bottle here… And a loaded crossbow on the floor? Is this an oil bottle?’

I think she knows why Kara said she has too many variables. There are too many weapons around.

Not only this, there are crossbowmen stationed at each geographical feature, objects protruding from strange places, etc.

It wasn’t a shitty layout, just the sight of it made my head dizzy. I looked at these carefully.

‘It goes up there… Hmm…’

After carefully examining it twice.

‘······I guess I can finish it easily?’

I found efficiency.

*****

After looking around the test room, the theory progressed. All students write down their theories on paper.

Some people wrote down their theories without hesitation, but most of the students looked worried about various things.

That’s because there were too many variables inside the test center. There are too many dangerous moments when things go wrong.

‘I’m wondering whether I should take the oil bottle away or throw it away.’

Among those who were worried was Kara.

The more experience I had, the more concerns I had. I had this kind of personality originally.

Then, something suddenly occurred to me. How does Sivar come up with a theory that seems simple yet smart?

At the same time, Sivar is diligently writing theory next to him. And that, unlike other people, without any hindrance.

‘Have you already thought of something?’

I’m even more curious because it’s Shivar and not anyone else. Kara’s eyes kept turning to Sivar’s paper.

Surprisingly neat and pretty, the handwriting was always fascinating to look at. I don’t know who taught it, but I think it was taught very well.

“?”

Then, Sivar also seemed to feel the gaze and turned his head. Kara hurriedly tried to distract her.

I feel like I was cheating. Of course, cheating doesn’t mean much in this test, so it doesn’t matter if you cheat.

Wouldn’t it be possible to go one step further and do practice based on someone else’s theory? Still, I feel like something is pricking my conscience.

‘Even in this situation, if you can’t hit it better than Sibar…’

I’m not ignoring Shivar. As an experienced warrior, her pride did not allow it.

It doesn’t matter if you do it roughly, but isn’t there such a thing as moderation? Kara racked her brain as much as she could and wrote down her theory.

Thanks to this, she came up with a pretty good method, but she didn’t really like it. I don’t know if it will work according to theory.

“Are you done?”

She was about to finish writing down the theory. Sibar asked from the side.

Kara looked at Sivar. I don’t know when I finished writing it, but Sivar had already let go of his hand her her her her.

But it’s a little strange. Unlike his own paper his, which was written tightly, Sivar’s paper had somewhat loose spaces.

“······What is it? Did you write it all down?”

“Yes. Would you like to take a look?”

“Is that okay?”

“Yes.”

Kara looked at her and looked at the theory written by Sivar.

Her conscience was pricked a little, but she couldn’t help but wonder.

Eventually, after confirming all the theories that Sibar wrote down…

“······What is this? Is this possible?”

“Yes. I think it’s possible.”

“No. “I think only you can do this?”

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by a theory that seemed only possible to Sivar.

The theory itself is pretty good. However, the problem is that it is too ‘fast’.

Just by looking at the sentences, you can feel the speed, but in reality, is it really scary? Even if you memorize it, it is not enough.

“No. Other people can too. It’s true.”

“I don’t think so…”

Even though Sivar spoke confidently, Kara could not erase her doubts.

This is unavoidable because the skill gap between Sivar and others is too great.

I don’t know if the difference in skill level is reasonable, but a person who can’t win even if they attack a group is a cigar.

Naturally, the standards for the theory he established were bound to be strict.

“If possible?”

“Huh?”

“What would you do if possible?”

While Kara was thinking about it, Sivar said something.

She was showing off her pride.

It is very rare for a Shiva to show pride. Kara had a shocked expression, but then she burst into laughter.

That means he is confident in the theory. She answered confidently, fluttering Sibar’s theory paper.

“What if someone else does this? Is that the performance I mentioned earlier? I’ll go out there and sing. Okay?”

“Is it true?”

“If it doesn’t work out, you’re going to perform?”

“Um…”

When I made the counter-proposal, Sivar’s eyes rolled. He doesn’t seem to have any confidence up to that point.

However, soon there was one person caught in Shivar’s gaze. Finally, he agreed and agreed.

“Yes, I will.”

“Good.”

Kara smiled to herself. Thanks to this, I think I can see Sivar singing…

“Karasu.”

“Hmm? Why are you calling me?”

“You do this.”

“······?”

But it’s strange. Why are you asking Karasu and not anyone else?

Karas even nodded after looking at the theory given by Sivar. It means it is possible.

“I guess it’s possible? The theory itself is stupid.”

“So you can’t do it?”

“There’s nothing you can’t do.”

The bombing has begun.
