Chapter 38 - How to Prepare for the Exam (13)
I felt something penetrate my stomach.
“Ugh…
Cough
…!”
The feeling of being stabbed in the stomach is painful.
A warm and tingling sensation rises from the pierced area.
A prickling sensation spreads throughout my body, paralyzing my senses.
Still, I forced my body to move.
The man muttered while looking at me.
“…What are you? There was definitely no one like you last time.”
“…”
I didn’t have the strength to say anything, so I just silently raised the gun and aimed at him.
The man paid no heed to that and stared at me.
The moment he turned his attention to me, Calmy’s blade struck him like lightning.
The voice quickly attacked his body, but he must have been unable to dodge the attack before he could, causing blood to drip from his cheek.
Tsk.
He glanced at Calmy and clicked his tongue lightly.
“I’m leaving for today.”
He straightened his robe and waved his arms as if he had given up on continuing to deal with us like this.
The sight of the strange man disappeared in the blink of an eye. As if what we saw was an illusion.
Only then did I feel relieved.
I felt the strength leaving my body.
That’s a relief. I’m glad no one died.
It was our victory.
So I was able to smile while feeling the warmth of the hand that supported me as I fell.
Scammer was looking at me, his eyes shaking.
What, why are you looking like that?
You won. Just smile.
Without a word, my consciousness fell into darkness.
My head, it doesn’t turn.
As I supported Kang Nahyun who was falling, I thought that this situation was very unrealistic.
We should have cleared the ‘raid event’ safely.
If it were a game, it should have cleared and ended safely.
Why did this happen?
Why was a variable created?
An easter egg like this never existed. It shouldn’t have been like this.
(easter egg: a message, image, or feature hidden in software, a video game, etc)
W-Why are you bleeding?
I was frozen in a daze, unable to do anything.
I came to my senses only after the teachers woke up and controlled the situation.
The blood on my hands seemed to tell me that this was all my fault.
All of this is reality.
It seemed as if they were laughing at me for trying to do whatever I wanted, thinking that the situation I was in was just a game.
It felt like someone had poured cold water on me.
I now realize that all of this is real.
The cool wind blowing towards me, the concerned eyes on me, and the pain I felt from my wounds all told me that this place was real.
I don’t know what spirit I was in when I returned to the room. I lay blankly in my room and thought. Things that have happened so far.
Then there were so many things I couldn’t understand.
I want to ask you.
Now that I know for sure that this is reality and not a game, I want to ask.
Why are you covering me?
Why did you get hurt instead?
Why would you do something like that for someone like me?
Why did you always get swayed by me, smile at me, trust me, and even risk your life?
If it’s the reality, how was I given this affection that couldn’t exist in reality, when I didn’t deserve it?
What’s wrong with this jerk?
That was the impression I felt as soon as I woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I was lying on a hospital bed wearing a hospital gown.
There was a bouquet of flowers and drinks next to the bed.
It seemed like quite a bit of time had passed, so as soon as I opened my eyes, I turned on the appearance part to check how the situation was going, yet the kid was in a bad condition.
And.

What tasted better was,
[Current meta point: 10030]
It was this crazy point number that I could see before my eyes.
Something, something is going wrong.
I felt cold running up my spine.
The peak of my meta point was when Scammer came to visit me in the hospital.
When he came to visit me alone, he sat next to me in silence for a long time.
It was unfamiliar to see that there was no trace of the unluckiness that he usually showed on his face.
Why are you really like this? Did you change suddenly?
At that time, Scammer, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth and spoke in a weak voice.
“Why were you attacked instead of me then?”
I don’t know. My body just moved first. Because no one knew, you could die with your trash stats.
…Anyway, it’s a little too much for him to reveal his true feelings.
I answered as best as I could in a way that matched the heroine character I had played so far.
“Because Yuhan is a precious person to me.”
“…Why?”
“What do you mean why?”
I tilted my head and smiled.
“I’m not worth it.”
“You’re worth it.”
Why are you really like this? This kid went insane.
Normally, I would scream in my mind that it’s so unlucky, but seeing him suddenly show such low self-esteem made me feel uncomfortable.
…I was a little worried.
I carefully held his hand.
“Because Yuhan is a wonderful person who guided me and treated me kindly when I first met you.”
Scammer flinched at those words.
What, did he suddenly have a conscience that wasn’t there?
“That…”
He bit his lip and then quickly stood up.
“Sorry. I’ll be going.”
And then he left the hospital room as if running away.
Uh-huh, okay. Bye.
I felt the emotions of an office worker who left work earlier than expected.
But somehow, I felt like an office worker who left work early before the company went bankrupt because there was no work to do.
…This is okay, right?
I quietly asked myself an answer that no one could answer.
And the next day, the moment I was discharged from the hospital completely healed and returned to class.
“Hi…, Nahyun.”
Whether he was insane, Scammer said hello first.
What is it, does the sun rise in the west today?
“Are you in any pain?”
And why is he suddenly calling me softly like that? Creepy… I want to keep a reasonable distance from him.
I sat down next to the fraudster, trying hard to keep my crumpled expression on my face.
And with the insane Scammer,
“Now, drink this.”
…indeedly,
“Is there something you don’t know? I’ll let you know.”
…wonderful,
“Be careful. You’re not fully healed yet.”
…day was spent and after that,
I quickly came to a conclusion.
I think I’m f*cked up.
And very hugely, at that.
Scammer’s iron wall has worn off. Only for me too, at that.
It was the moment when a red flag turned on for my future plans.
I held my head and tried to think calmly.
First of all, the amount of meta point earned today is no joke.
[Current meta point: 10530]
I just walked around with him without any incident, and he gave me 500 point in one day.
Has the system finally gone insane? It’s beneficial for me, though.
…Come to your senses.
If you think about it calmly, the current situation is definitely beneficial in the short term.
I got 10,000 point for being treated affec… tionally… by readers and the disappearance of Scammer’s iron wall guard for unknown reasons. I’m lucky.
But I really have a question.
If you see someone around you seriously injured and bleeding right in front of you, you may be shocked and traumatized.
But doesn’t that usually lead to unconsciously avoiding the person who is the cause of the trauma?
Why is he like a kitten that keeps trying to cling to its mother?
I couldn’t understand.
I just gave up on understanding Scammer’s thinking circuits. It’s just that he’s like that, well…
More than that, when all the confidence disappeared from that unlucky face, he suddenly looked like a lost child who had lost his way and had nowhere to go, which really bothered me.
Because… This is because this guy kept acting like a damned kitten.
