Chapter 43 – Final Exam (1)

Two weeks had passed since the previous Mine Crisis, and the garden was peaceful.
After taking classes, attacking the world of glass, and having sex, they accumulated energy.

“Now it is exam time. How is your preparation for the final exam going?”

I flinched at Laysha’s question.

Come to think of it, this isn’t an academy.
Of course I had to take the exam, and I, who slept all day in class, of course didn’t study at all.

In the first place, even in high school, I was the one who only played games without studying.
But there is no such big problem.

From my memory, I know that the ratio between written and practical skills in the academy is 2:8.

But now my recovery skill level is 1.
To be honest, my party members had never been seriously injured, so I didn’t even think about leveling up.

‘Should I change to the Department of Blessing?’

If I consider my BP now, I will definitely be able to get a high score in my practical skills as a blessing magician.

The problem with the practical exam was solved very simply.
I made a decision and there was no need to hesitate, so I decided to change my department today.
It would have been different if the professor in the Department of Healing had been Seo In.

Garden is free to change departments.
No one knew when and what talent he would realize.

And since I wasn’t interested in any of the classes, I didn’t feel any resistance to changing the department.

“I’m going to focus on increasing the power of magic for now.”

Ah-young, who recently changed to the magic department, said.
Since she has always been diligent in her studies, there should be no big problem in taking the exam.

“The midterm and final exams have a big impact on maintaining the rank, so you need to prepare properly.”

Laysha looked at me and said.

“Isn’t it just a matter of getting a high score in practical skills? I’m going to change to the Department of Blessing and take the exam.”

At my question, Laysha put on a complicated expression.

“Ugh. Certainly, if Siwoo-nim currently has BP, he should be able to get a full score in practical skills. But if your writing score is not enough, you will have to take supplementary classes…”

Laysha is also in the same class as me.
Knowing that I was always dozing off in class, she spoke to me in a worried tone.

Supplemental class…
For some reason, it reminded me of the palm time I was forced to participate in when I was in high school.

“That’s kind of…”

I don’t know how and how long the supplementary classes are conducted, but it was obvious what would happen if I, who couldn’t stand the academy classes because they were boring, took supplementary classes as well.

“Well, in that case, can I tell you about your studies?”

Laysha looked at me and Ayoung and said.
I have to study, but wouldn’t it be enough to learn from Ah-yeong?

“I want to repay you for what happened during the last performance evaluation period.”

Laysha blushed a little and said.
Sensing that the atmosphere towards me had changed a little, I used the eyes of the incubus.

[Likeability: 75]

I couldn’t help but be surprised when I saw the favorability.
Did saving her from being kidnapped by Han Geon-woo, who became a demon, have a big impact?

“Yeah, I think that would be nice. Laysha is good at studying.”

Ayoung nodded her head as if it was a good opportunity, she said.
She seems to be thinking of getting closer to her on this occasion.

Ah-young said she was positive about me making a new lover not too long ago.
To be honest, I didn’t want to miss out on a beauty who had a crush on me.

“Yes, I ended up in the top 10 in my grade.”

“Oh.”

As far as I know, Ayoung’s writing ranking is in the top 30.

“Then is it okay if I ask?”

“Yes! Rather, I should ask you to allow me to repay you.”

Laysha said with a happy smile on her bright face.

The fact that she was able to teach her studies made her happy, a little shaken.

“Siwoo, do you have to do well?”

She whispered in my ear.

“…”

Chloe was still silent.

∴

After submitting the application for change of department, Laysha and I came to a cafe we ​​often visit to study.

-Why are Siwoo Kim and Laysha together?
-I know. Wasn’t Kim Si-woo dating Seo Ah-young?
– Could it be that the second lover…?
-Shh. Hey i’ll listen Still, it’s definitely good looking, so maybe that’s the case. I envy you.

Upon entering the cafe, I heard the chattering of female students sitting far away.
I’m sorry that I overheard it, but honestly, what can I do to hear it all?

And I was happy to hear compliments about her looks.

Turning her head to look at Laysha, she was blushing a little.

“Are you okay?”

I asked and she trembled.

“Yes yes? What do you mean…?”

She said, slightly avoiding my gaze.

“Did you hear what those girls said?”

There was no way that the words I heard could not have been heard by Laysha.

“That. Yes. I don’t care.”

Leysha pretended to be her composure, but her face showed that she already cared.
What can she do when she’s not her?
As she slowly took out her writing utensil and started preparing for study, Laysha’s face showed a bit of regret.

Fortunately, the academy’s curriculum was quite practical.
I didn’t have to study things like calculus or the periodic table of the elements, which I didn’t know would be of any use in my life.

What I had to study was the total set of settings I learned while playing the game, such as the history of hunters, the theory of the glass world, and monsters.

“Hmm… Siwoo. Did you study separately?”

Laysha asked while marking the answers on the question paper I had solved.

“I just did it in moderation. Still, you’re a student, but you can’t just take your hands off your studies, can you?”

“I don’t think I need to teach you this. It’s not a high grade, but it’s enough to avoid supplementary classes.”

Laysha said with a look of sincere regret.

“Okay? I’m glad.”

I was relieved when she said that I didn’t have to study because I already knew these things.

“Siwoo-nim, maybe…”

She said to me in a low voice.

“Huh?”

“Oh, no.”

What was Laysha trying to say?
There was something bitter about her expression, and something tingled in her heart.
If she had to pick one thing to point out, would she have been unable to accept what she was approaching recently?

She didn’t have time to rest, and she didn’t have time for her busy life, so when she asked for a private meeting with her, she mostly refused.

“It’s over early… Shall we play for a while?”

When I asked, Laysha’s face turned red.
Fortunately, it seemed to be the correct answer.

“Is that so? I also finished earlier than expected, so I have time left.”

Looking at Ley Sha, who was quite happy, it seemed that she had properly said what she wanted.

∴

Laysha was born as the only daughter of an aristocratic family from an early age and lived up to her family’s expectations.
His father had three wives, but he didn’t have any new children after having Laysha for some heartbreaking reasons.

It was Laysha’s official setting that she had grown up with no shortage more than anyone else, but she lived with that much burden.

She is who she is now because she has lived without a break while learning her family’s work and growing her strength as an Awakener.

Unlike Ayoung, who had her outstanding older sisters, I can only guess that the sense of responsibility and burden caused by the expectations that her only child, Raysha, has received throughout her life is something that I cannot dare imagine as a person who has lived an ordinary life.

That’s why she envied a commoner’s life rather than a life as an aristocratic lady, and this was her main point of attack in the game.

“Siwoo, what is this?”

After she left the academy and headed downtown, Laysha, who was walking down the street with me, asked me.

“It’s called Taiyaki because it looks like crucian carp, but it’s a bread with puff cream or red beans inside.”

Laysha, who was looking curiously at the taiyaki steaming up, asked back.

“Is it delicious?”

It was a look full of anticipation.

“Yeah, it’s delicious.”

“I see… Boss. Can you give me two?”

Laysha asked her aunt who was baking her Taiyaki.

“Miss. I don’t have two, but three for 1,000 won. Shall I give you three?”

At her aunt’s words, Laysha looked at me in surprise.

“Poof…”

I could barely contain the laughter that was about to burst out of her.

“Well, then three, please…”

After looking at me resentfully for a moment, Laysha, who blushed, said to her aunt.
The woman put steaming taiyaki in a white paper bag with her tongs and handed it to Laysha.

“Um…! It is sweet and delicious.”

Ley Sha, who immediately took a bite of her, said that she really liked her as she opened her eyes wide and looked at her Taiyaki.

“Is this your first time eating something like this?”

“Yes. Since I came to Korea to enroll in Garden, I haven’t really had any free time. In fact, it was the same even before I came to the garden.”

She said with a bitter smile.
There must be a reason for her rapid promotion to Class B.
It must have been possible because I ran without enjoying even such trivial leisure.

When she saw Laysha like that, she remembered the flawless side of her that she showed, and she felt a little sorry.

“Then let’s go get something more delicious.”

“Yeah, I think it’s a good idea.”

Her steaks or pastas at her fancy restaurants won’t satisfy her.

Then what would be good?

Finally, a soup restaurant caught my eye.
Rice soup… It’s perfect for cost performance and taste, but a first date? Is it okay to go to a place like that for something similar?

“Siwoo, what kind of store is that?”

Laysha looked at her soup restaurant with curious eyes and asked if she had noticed my gaze.

“Gukbap is a commoner’s restaurant.”

She dared to use the expression common people.

“Okay. It’s time for dinner, so why don’t we go over there?”

Leysha said to me with her eyes shining.
Envying the life of the common people, she showed her good effect on her.

Fortunately for her, after finishing her meal, Laysha had a satisfied look on her face.
In the middle, she burned the roof of her mouth, but that was healed neatly with her heel.

After that we headed to the PC room.
I simply enjoyed the game, but Laysha was happy, and I felt satisfied with her appearance as well.

By the way, the girl with a higher agility stat than me won most of the victories.
Even if I blow the skill, it doesn’t hit me, so what should I do?

After leaving the internet cafe, we went back to the academy as the curfew was getting closer and closer.

She was quite satisfied, even though she didn’t have much time to play since she left the academy around six.

“Whoa… Shiwoo, I had a lot of fun today.”

Leysha turned her head towards me, she said.
She didn’t do much, but it made me happy that she was satisfied.

“Yeah, me too.”

“Can we spend time together like this next time?”

Laysha stood in front of me, clasped her hands behind her back, and bent her upper body to look up at me, she asked.

“Of course.”

Laysha seemed to be really happy, and smiled with a little relief.
