Chapter 6 – Episode 6. Rumi
In particular, being in the same group with Nam Da-eun, who is number one in practical skill, is quite an advantage, but it seems to be because of the burden of me and Lee Byung-hoon.
Once the groups were told to gather, I also moved to the place where the 7 groups were.
“Hey, really? I’m from there too.”
“Let’s do well in the future. I’m melee…”
The surroundings are cluttered with each other’s members and friends. For at least one semester, the more comfortable you have to go together, the more you can trust and entrust your back.
“Hey, Nam Da-eun-nim, I only heard about it, but it’s really an honor to be in the same group.”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“Oops, I forgot to introduce myself. As the eldest son of a long-established fighter guild…”
But why is our group like this?
After forming the group, a man named Lee Byeong-hoon is talking all the time. That too, without paying attention to me or Rumi, she is talking while looking at Nam Da-eun.
“Now, today’s class will stop here, and as I said before, the first task is to have a meal with the same team members and take pictures. Being a professional hunter, you have to quickly get along with people you’re seeing for the first time.”
I don’t know if that has a lot to do with eating and taking pictures, but since I’ve received an assignment, I have to do it. What should I do with this?
Other groups have already gathered in groups of three or five to decide what to eat, or have left to eat.
Lee Byung-hun continues to talk to Nam Da-eun, and Nam Da-eun is packing her bag, ignoring her until the end.
Rumi didn’t know what to say, so she hesitated between Lee Byeong-hun and Nam Da-eun, turning her head around.
And Lee Ho-yeon, who watches the situation in real time.
‘Do you think I should bring it up?’
After thinking about it, I decided to speak out.
“Um, guys? What do we want to eat?”
Jump up.
I tried my best to choose the right words, but before my words were finished, Nam Da-eun got up from her seat, put on her bag, and headed for the classroom door.
“Nam Da-eun. Do you know of any restaurants?”
“… I don’t intend to go along with children’s pranks.”
“Uh?”
I just left those words and left. What kind of kids do you have? No, it’s an assignment, so what kind of kid’s game are you doing?
After Nam Da-eun left, Lee Byung-hun looked at the two of us sideways, said “Hmm, actually, I have an appointment too” And disappeared.
“…”
Other students had already left to eat with the same group, and only Rumi and I were left in the classroom.

『The sub-quest has been sent.』
[Consoling the sullen Rumi!]
Rumi’s ambition to debut at the academy has been shattered!
But it’s not too late. Comfort Rumi and make her feel better!
– Reward: Random ability 1

Then, a quest appeared before my eyes.
Comforting the sullen Rumi?
“I made my first friend, but it’s ruined… You fool, why can’t you say that tteokbokki is good. Hing.”
Looking to the side, Rumi muttered strange words with a devastated expression.
Well, if you think about it, it might not be too bad. Anyway, you can only flirt with Nam Da-eun after passing through the middle, and you can throw away the guy you can’t even remember the name of.
“Um, Rumiya? They’re gone, so let’s go eat together.”
“Yeah… Yep? Do you want to eat with me?”
“Yeah, eating together and taking pictures was the task.”
“That,,, Nam Da-eun is gone.”
Why are you talking about more now? And he doesn’t care if he’s Lee Byung-hun or something.
“The person who went is the person who went, and you like tteokbokki? There’s a tteokbokki restaurant I know. Would you like to go with me?”
“Yes… Yes! I want to go!”
*
Rumi is sitting in front of me with her eyes wide open while adding tteokbokki to her cheeks. Like a squirrel eating acorns, both cheeks bulged out.
“Even if you eat slowly, I won’t take it away.”
“Ah, yes. I’m sorry…”
“No no, I’m sorry. It’s nice to see them eating deliciously.”
“Hehe…But it’s really delicious! How do you know about this restaurant as a freshman like me?”
Because when I went on a date with Rumi in the game, this Tteokbokki restaurant was a must. I looked at how long they ate, but they only ate tteokbokki until the game was over. It’s my favorite place, so of course it’s delicious.
★ Heroine status window
[Rumi]
– [ Favorite rating : 35 ]
– [ Sex drive : 30 ]
– [ Appetite : 15 ]
– [ Fatigue : 40 ]
The affinity has risen by 20. It would be nice if the attack was completed after eating 4 more Tteokbokki, but it’s a pity.
My appetite also dropped from 40 to 15, so I must have eaten it all.
“I think I ate it all. Shall I take a picture? Mine’s quality is not good, so can I take a picture with your cell phone?”
“Oh, yes. Take a picture!”
After receiving Rumi’s phone, I got up and moved her seat.
And Rumi put her body right next to her.
“Uh, huh? That, too close?”
“It’s certified only when both appear in one cut.”
Click!
“Two of the four are missing, but the photos turned out well.”
Because the subject is so good, it comes out like a pictorial even if you take a rough shot.
“Ah, yes. It came out well…”
The picture came out well, so why are you keeping your head down?
Anyway, now I have no excuse to hold onto it anymore, so I have to get to work.
As she returned Rumi’s cell phone, she brought up her words as if she had seen it by chance.
“Huh? Rumiya. Isn’t that cell phone case idol party?”
“Yeah,,, yep? Uh… How did you know?”
“No, I like that too. Do you like that too?”
“Yes! I really, really like it!
The kid who had been stuttering her words became incredibly fast when talking about animation.
I don’t know what you mean by cutting the ceiling and eating it, but I have a different goal anyway.
“Then, shall we go see the theatrical version, which is being released this time?
“Ah, uh… A movie?”
“Yeah, if it’s a bit burdensome, I can go alone, so don’t worry about it.”
“No no, no. I definitely want to go with you!”
“Then let’s go see it this weekend. Can you give me your number?”
“Yes… Four!”
When I hold out her cell phone to Rumi, her hand trembles as she accepts my cell phone.
As Rumi dialed her numbers slowly, one by one, as if she would never make a mistake, she said, “Exchange numbers…Exchange numbers with friends…” Is repeating it’s kinda cute
“W…Here.”
“Thank you. I’ll call you later. I ate all the food, so can you wake up?”
“Yes!”

Tuesday evening.
After breaking up with Rumi, I went to a training center for her training.
I will be going to a proper class starting tomorrow, but I need to figure out my level.
I took a picture of my smart watch and went into a private room.
[Grade 1 Class A Lee Ho-yeon. Entry confirmed]
In the original game, depending on what kind of training the main character is given, that character’s abilities are specialized.
Magic power. Test surface stamina and strength. Assassin’s agility, etc. I was able to nurture it by raising it based on the specified ability level.
The most standard and easiest route is a prosecutor.
The reason is related to the main character’s unique power.
Inherent powers are unique powers that only individuals possess.
Most people can’t express their own powers, but Lee Ho-yeon, as the main character, has quite good unique powers.
─────「Sense of Battle」─────
▶ Inherent Powers
▶ Receive compensation for all actions judged as ‘combat’.
The higher the risk of ‘battle’, the greater the effect.
──────────────────
‘Combat Sense’
As a combat-related unique power, it is a talent that demonstrates an innate combat sense and combat sense in all combat-related actions.
Since he received all the corrections regarding combat, he had an advantage in close combat, where combat sense was most needed.
In addition, as I had to fight more and more humans or humanoid monsters later on, I liked the best swordsman because it was advantageous in interpersonal battles.
Nonetheless, the reason why I chose a wizard is, firstly, because I received [Mana Sensing] As a perk, which gave me a huge advantage in mana management, and second, because I know how bad the villains in this world are.
Fighting with such bastards up close and mixing swords? That’s why there’s no answer. It’s not like you can retry like in a game, so it’s best to just hit the ball from afar with the Bung Bung magic.
“Magic proficiency test.”
[Magic proficiency test. Let’s begin]
If my level is considered as a game, I need to figure out which level I am in before I can set a course of action in the future.
The proficiency test provided at the training center is Victoria Academy’s DB, which comprehensively judges my strengths and weaknesses, and my current level.
[Step 1 test. Spray the mana thinly and widely]
At the same time as the system voice, a thin wall made of mana was created on all sides.
That seems to be measuring my mana.
‘To radiate mana thinly and widely?’
I’ve never done it, but it didn’t seem difficult. He raised both hands and imagined mana spreading like gentle waves.
Uh- uh-
Blue mana is emitted from the hand. The floor of the training ground was clearly visible under the thin mana wave, perhaps because it was the mana shot while imagining a wave.
[Phase 1 test completed]
Did it shoot mana for about a minute? A voice said it was done.
[I will start the 2nd stage test]
A target appears on the path leading to the front.
[The target will be activated soon. Eliminate the target quickly and accurately.]
[5]
“No, I’m not going to give you time to prepare.”
Despite my complaints, the system continued counting in an emotionless manner.
[4]
[3]
[2]
[One]
‘Among the magic that comes to mind right now, what is the magic that can destroy the target the fastest?’
[Activates the target. The number of targets is 10.]
There is no time to think more. It reminds me of the arrow of the wind I saw in the book yesterday.
The magical power that rises above your head is replaced by the wind and condenses in the form of an arrow with the sound of a strong wind.
Tzuzuzuzuzuzu-!
The arrows create a wind as if they are about to run away at any moment.
The arrows of the wind that fluttered over the shoulder are shot at the target.
Kwajijik!
One, two, three, four, five… Ten.
The ten arrows that flew wildly shattered the target with a loud sound, then scattered as mana.
“Wow.”
Not a single target remained in Saro.
“Is this fun?”
*
“Hmm…”
Rumi, who broke up with Lee Ho-yeon and returned to her dormitory, looked at her cell phone on her desk and was worried about her life.
‘Can I text you to ask if it went well?’
“As expected, if we ate and exchanged numbers, we would be friends…? No, but we met for the first time today… Is it too fast?”
Rumi, who has been introverted since childhood, was the first person in the family who liked the house rather than outside activities. Due to her breasts, which had matured differently than her age, the gaze of others on her was burdensome, and combined with her timid personality, she became Jibsun.
Her twin sister, Lucy, was overprotective of her Rumi by always hanging out. Thanks to that, she was less approached by strange people, but she entered the academy without making any proper friends.
Overcome those gloomy days! She was Rumi, who was about to make her academy debut in style… But just when she was about to get depressed again when her first created Joe went out of business, Lee Ho-yeon appeared!
“I’m sure he said he wanted to see a movie on the weekend. Are you sure he’s a friend? Ugh, I don’t know. Shall we do a search?”
Rumi turned on her cell phone and typed ‘A man wants to see a movie’ in her green search bar.
[A guy I’m not very familiar with wants to see a movie]
“Oh! This is it!”
She had someone else with the same problem.
Q. [A man asks to see a movie, does that mean you have a crush on him? Or is he just wanting to be friends?]
A. [Looking at the fact that he asked to see the movie, I don’t think he was the person he disliked. You can learn more by watching movies and having conversations. And if you see that he is curious about whether he is interested in me, it must mean that you also have some feelings for him, right? Watching a movie is also a good opportunity, so I hope this opportunity can become an opportunity to develop a better affinity for each other ^^]
“Ho…. Like it?”
There is no way that Rumi, who has never made a proper friend of hers, has ever been in a relationship with her. She said to her this question and her answer were like the truth of her life.
“That’s right, if you think about it, you won’t go to the movies with someone you don’t like. Ugh, does Hoyeon have feelings for me?”
Hoyeon Lee. In fact, it was the first time I ate alone with a member of the opposite sex, so I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t talk properly. Even if I asked him to speak comfortably in the middle, he couldn’t because it was burdensome.
“But why is such a handsome boy like me… Hey, let’s send a text message.”
[Me: I ate deliciously ^^ (Emoji of a puppy bowing its belly button) ]
[Lee Ho-yeon: Yes, did you go in well? ]
Thump thump.
It was an insignificant reply, but Rumi was thrilled to even text her friend.
“Ugh, what should I reply to? Should I search again…”
