Chapter 227 – If You’re First in the Academy, You Can’t Use That.
One.
‘Cow, guest! No! No! I’m not cheating at all, and everything written here is a real service!’
‘It could be defective, so I tested all the things I had! I checked it while secretly entering an unexplored S-class dungeon, and it turned out to be true! Even though the flow of mana went right in front of the most intense dungeon core!’
‘Yes? Why hasn’t equipment so great that you have to line up in a giant guild hasn’t been revealed on the market? That’s because it was made by Eme, who does everything except our office work, development, Internet site management, and anyway, the site, right?’
‘Wait, wait, wait, sir! What if I don’t even say it’s a scam and leave like that! The world is very wide and there are so many strange things, so there are always cases where one’s common sense is denied, so wouldn’t it be okay to believe my words? Yeah? Guest?’
At night, after returning home on foot as always, I went straight into the room and recalled the many words Mr. Rabbit had said to turn my steps, even though he didn’t physically catch me.
“… How desperate can you be so sincere?”
Even though he knew it was a scam at the moment, Mr. Rabbit was so desperate that he had an absurd thought, ‘I’m talking so earnestly, wouldn’t it be okay to be fooled once?’
But even so, all the words Mr. Rabbit said to catch me were all nonsense that completely deviated from common sense, so I ended up leaving the office with the word sorry.
“Looking at those eyes, how could I not say I’m sorry…”
‘Cow, I don’t have the right to have a customer, but… Ugh. If you think that you don’t need our service even after thinking it through to the end, there’s nothing you can do about it…’
“Haaaaa…”
It wasn’t something I should be sorry for, but when I stood in front of the door and saw Mr. Rabbit’s teary eyes, I couldn’t help but say sorry.
“Haa… So, in the end, I got this too.”
Besides, when I listened to this explanation that the rabbit boss, who did not give up until the end, gave me a half-forced hold, I even received ridiculous equipment.
‘Well, then you don’t have to sign a contract, so can you just accept this? I’m just giving it to you. Even if what I said today isn’t a lie, I’m giving it to you in hopes of knowing how. Please, please accept at least this…!’
When explaining the Dungeon Rescue Insurance service, the rabbit owner showed me the item, commonly known as ‘Rabbit Call’.
This communication device called Calling Rabbit could communicate with each other inside and outside the dungeon by just listening to it, and it even informed the user’s location, so it was an item that could overturn the world of awakened people who came to the rescue at once.
“Of course, this can’t be real, but…”
It’s a rectangular parallelepiped that’s short in width and long in length, so it’s easy to hold in one hand or put in a pocket, and it’s only equipped with a single button. One microphone. Simple configuration of one speaker.
It was certainly an efficient device that would not interfere with entering the dungeon from the outside.
As I was looking at all aspects of Calling Rabbit, I suddenly worried, ‘What if the rabbit boss had a bad heart for me and forcibly gave me this object with a location tracker?’
I don’t think Mr. Rabbit is like that, and if he’s such a person and I didn’t know him, even if he came to my house to do something bad… Are you okay.
However, I was able to get rid of that worry by thinking about the security plants I planted around the house.
And there is one thing I can know because I have received numerous hostility, envy, jealousy, and contempt for three years at the academy.
“President Rabbit seemed like the same department as me.”
The prey sensitive to hostility, Mr. Rabbit, was the same kind as me, so it felt harmless, and I thought I wanted to be friendly.
“It was different from the high-nosed people at the academy. The rabbit boss is definitely the same as me. Harmless.”
It was only an extremely subjective judgment, but even if it was arbitrary, I felt comfortable after coming to a conclusion anyway.
I thought it would be okay to have this black rabbit call.
When her grandma asked if she had rescue insurance, she showed this and said she said she did, and she’d be perfect.
“It’s not cute because the black background looks a little stiff, but…
Woo woo-.
“Uh. It’s text Is it spam?”
I picked up my cell phone that I had put aside for a while to check the rabbit call.
“No.”
What rang the cell phone was, as always, not abusive language from a spam or blocked caller number, but a text message about tomorrow’s graduation exam.
[Academy 3rd year overall ranking 1st place Stell, the next day at 11:00 am. As we announced, we will be taking the graduation exam at the B-class dungeon under the jurisdiction of the academy, ‘Nakseonggul’, so please wear your personal equipment and arrive on time.]
Tomorrow was the day of the graduation exam that would put an end to the long and exhausting three-year academy life.
After receiving the text message, the word graduation started to feel real.
“The day I really graduate is coming… I came this far without giving up and running away along the way…”
A special admissions student who was not from a famous family nor sponsored by a guild, but one day suddenly awakened to his unique ability and received an offer of admission from the academy. That was me, Stella.
He has no parents and no younger siblings, but luckily awakens to his unique ability and enters the academy. Being labeled a low-class student, it is inevitable that he will be bullied by other students since he was born into a prestigious family.
In addition, because of the worry of ‘what if something happens if I fall out with my grandmother?’, I went to school with the right of a special admission student at the academy, where the rule is to go to the dormitory. I was bullied.
Every day felt like hell and I really wanted to give up, but when she returned home and saw the face of her grandmother, who had raised me alone since childhood and lived with only me, I had no choice but to endure it.
It was the reason of my life to make her grandmother, who had suffered so far because of me, become proudly successful and enrich herself.
“Whoa… I don’t want my condition to get worse tomorrow. I really need to sleep now.”
The B-class dungeon ‘Nakseonggul’ was the most difficult dungeon among the dungeons for the academy graduation exam, where only the top 10 students could take the exam.
That’s why I should never be vigilant, I lay in bed earlier than usual to get the best condition of my body.
Tomorrow’s exam… I’m nervous.
2,
“Yes? Yesterday, that guest was the first among the current academy’s third-year students?”
“Yes.”
When she went to work, she was hanging her coat on her coat hanger, and as always, Emme, who had come to work first, gave her information about the monumental first guest who had come the day before.
First place in the grade, then that customer is on the same level as Scar or Laffy? That’s great…
Of course, Scar and Laffy inherited her family’s vision after her graduation and became explosively strong and became what they are now, so it’s a little hard to compare her to those two, but even so, being number one in the academy was definitely a colossal title for her.
“Her bright light green hair caught my eye, so I did a little research and it came out right away. Her name is Stell, and she is a special admissions student who has awakened her unique ability and made a direct offer of admission to the academy. Her initial grades were at the bottom because she couldn’t keep up with the successors of the high family, but she gradually improved her skills through the efforts to shed her blood, and eventually became a unique skill among the current academy students, huh?”
“Oh . I never thought she’d be hiding something like that. She was a great guest.”
“Yes, it was a great guest. Even though the bus has already left. No, would it be more appropriate to say that it was the bus that Mr. Rabbit sent directly?”
“Ugh… I know it well now. That I was stupid yesterday.”
Yesterday, after the guest of Stelle had reluctantly called a rabbit from me and left, I knelt down and sat down because I couldn’t catch a customer in the end.
Did you think I was dying of laughter because I was not good at treating guests like a dog?
At those words, I thought of the things I had done to the guests of Stell, and as Aime said, I was the true boss who only chose to do things I shouldn’t have done to the guests.
Yes, what happened yesterday is stuffed into my dark history list.
This is TMI, but there’s also the ‘Me Too!’ Thing she said when she went to ask Enme on the black history list about the fake hypnosis app.
A place where only such terrible things are collected is a list of dark history in my head, but if it is enough to be stuffed there, uh huh. What I did to Stell’s guest yesterday was really terrible.
For my mental health, I thought of it in the third person as if it wasn’t me, but anyway, after realizing that what I did yesterday was an idiot, I kicked the blanket a lot.
I couldn’t sleep well because of that. It was a precious time to sleep alone for the first time in a long time.
Anyway, having a lingering attachment to a missed customer was also one of the things a boss shouldn’t do.
To be honest, until I heard that I was number one in the academy, I was looking forward to it, thinking, ‘Still, if an awakened person lives, he may face a crisis, and then he might be able to write a rabbit call?’. It’s number 1. Yeah… A crisis happened to the academy first place… And there’s no way accidents will happen in the graduation exam. If an accident happens to the 1st place, the academy would be in trouble too.
“Haaaaa…”
Desperate at having to spend another day without customers, I trudged over to my seat and sat down.
Do I have to start the pasta service again and urgently ask for money?
It was complicated in many ways.
