Episode 17 Friends(2)
5.
As Kang Joo-hyuk carried Lee Si-woo out, he remembered Lee Si-woo’s strike that knocked out Yoon Mir a little while ago.
‘It was an incredible spirit.’
No matter how much Hwang Da-bin gave him a fire resistance buff, he was able to withstand Selina’s fire, and even used the tactic of giving bones to take flesh.
Although he obviously has no social experience yet, Lee Si-woo showed off his skill in combat.
After arriving at the nurse’s office, Kang Joo-hyuk placed Lee Si-woo on the bed.
The infirmary at Gakseong High School was made up of several single rooms.
This is because injuries often occur during training.
Selina, who was watching Lee Si-woo lying down, looked at teacher Kang Joo-hyuk and said.
“Teacher, is Siwoo okay?”
Seeing Selina’s worried expression, Kang Joo-hyuk thought to himself, ‘Did you know she would make this kind of expression?’
“Teacher Lee Hyun-sook gave you the potion, so you’ll be fine. One effect is killer. “She seems to be sleeping soundly right now due to exhaustion, so I think it would be best not to wake her.”
“yes.”
“Then I have to go out because I have to finish the class competition. Do you mind if I stay alone?”
“yes.”
When Kang Joo-hyuk went out of the nurse’s office, Selina looked at Lee Si-woo, who was unconscious and had his eyes closed.
“I didn’t mean to accept this stupid operation… … .”
Additionally, I couldn’t control my strength properly.
No matter how much I increased my fire resistance, I would have suffered a lot of burns. It was lucky that her hair didn’t burn.
Selina stretched out her hand toward Lee Si-woo’s chest with a pitiful expression.
The hole in his shoulder had been treated with a potion and had a bandage wrapped around it.
When Selina saw Lee Si-woo, who had put himself in danger, she thought of her father, who was trying to protect himself.
“Next time… I will protect you.”
The words spoken softly contained a firm will.
“Selina! “What about Lee Si-woo?!”
At that time, the door to the nurse’s room was kicked open and students from Class 5, including Da-bin Hwang, Joo-won Jeong, Yoo Ah-ram, and Ji Tae-hoon, came rushing in.
Selina quickly took back the hand she had extended towards Lee Si-woo and said.
“Everyone came. As you can see, he’s sleeping.”
“You’re okay?!”
“Uh, I think it’s better not to wake him up.”
The students who entered the nurse’s room after hearing Selina’s words saw Lee Si-woo sleeping and began to say something to him.
“My hair didn’t burn.”
“I told you to come back after winning, but I never thought you would actually win.”
“I heard Yunmir is passed out in the next room?”
In response to the muttering voices of Ji Tae-hoon’s gang, Yoo Ah-ram spoke.
“Be quiet. “I’m going to wake up like this.”
“… … .”
“Hmm.”
At that time, Lee Si-woo started tossing and turning.
Everyone began to look at Lee Si-woo with nervous faces.
6.
When I opened my eyes, a white ceiling came into view.
‘Where am I?’
As soon as I thought about that, pain surged from my shoulder.
Only then did I remember that I fainted after the class match ended and looked around.
“W-what is it?”
Dabin Hwang and Selina were sitting next to me, and all the Class 5 students surrounding me were looking at me.
“Are you awake? “It was the best.”
My roommate looked at me and gave me a thumbs up.
“very! that’s right. “I filmed that scene!”
Yoo Ah-ram made a fuss.
“Well, it’s not like I can’t see it.”
Ji Tae-hoon spoke in passing, as if he was being generous, and the rest of the students followed suit and shouted.
“It was great!”
I looked at everyone with a confused expression, then turned my attention to Selina and Dabin Hwang.
“are you okay?”
“Is it a little noisy?”
The moment I turned over because I couldn’t keep lying down due to what the two said, a scream escaped me.
“Ugh.”
“Siwoo?!”
My whole body was screaming.
Well, it was such a drastic move.
Thinking that I needed to train more, I made a gesture saying it was okay and said.
“So, everyone gathered here because they’re worried about me, right?”
At my words, some male students started doing something else.
These were the guys who always looked down on me, calling me F-grade.
“It’s like that.”

On the other hand, there was also a friend like Yoo Ah-ram who purely accepted it.
“My friend said he was sick, so it was natural for me to come and see him. “It’s even worse because I went out and fought as the representative of my class.”
As Jeong Joo-won said, I tried to keep the word ‘friend’ in my mouth.
During the first episode, I didn’t see these guys as real people.
I recognized it as a ‘character’ in the world of the novel.
So I never thought about becoming friends. She only thought about taking advantage.
It was the same in the second round. The awakened people around me were just people who provided me with talents.
Suddenly, I felt like I knew why the system emphasized ‘Everyone cha-cha-cha.’
‘Friend, this isn’t a bad thing.’
I realized this after living twice in the world of the novel.
The fact that this place where I am now is my reality, and these guys with whom I live my reality are not ‘characters.’
[The intimacy of all 1st year and 5th class students has increased by 10.]
It seemed like the system also acknowledged it. That we became friends.
I looked at the friends surrounding me and spoke with honest feelings.
“thanks.”
And I spoke to Dabin Hwang and Selina, who fought alongside me.
“As you know, I am only an F-class awakened person. Defeating Yunmir was purely luck. It wouldn’t have been possible without the help of Dabin Hwang and Selina. “Thank you, both.”
Selina nodded silently at my words, and Dabin Hwang shook his head.
“No, you were the one who planned this plan, and you were the one who sacrificed yourself by putting yourself on fire. This victory is thanks to you. “Thank you, thanks to you, Yunmir, I won for the first time.”
As Hwang Da-bin spoke, people around him started whistling and teasing Hwang Da-bin.
“Oh, why is Hwang Da-bin praising me?”
“Did you develop some affection while fighting together?”
“Comrades in arms! “You bastards!”
Dabin Hwang shouted, and laughter echoed in the nurse’s office.
Looking at that, I thought this wasn’t a bad thing.
“Oh right.”
At that time, Dabin Hwang handed me the certificate and white envelope he was holding.
“This is the prize and certificate that my class received for winning in first grade.”
I wasn’t really interested in the listing, but I was curious about the product.
“What is the product?”
Dabin Hwang handed me a white envelope, and I accepted it.
Selina and her friends looked curious, and I opened the envelope.
There were three pieces of paper inside the envelope.
This was written on the paper:
[Gakseong High School Store Ticket]
My eyes lit up when I saw the ticket for the concession stand, and when Jeong Ju-won saw me like that, he said,
“Wow, I’m jealous.”
The first person to find out about the ticket for this store was Jeong Ju-won, who had excellent information.
“What is that?”
When Yoo Ah-ram asked Jeong Ju-won, Jeong Ju-won’s eyes lit up and he prepared to explain.
At that time, the nurse’s room door opened and teacher Kang Joo-hyuk came in.
“… “What are you guys doing in the nurse’s office?”
“Ah, teacher.”
“Wow. We’ll start the next class soon, so everyone go back to class. And Lee Si-woo, are you feeling better?”
I nodded to Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s question.
“I still feel numb, but I can bear it.”
“Then I guess I’ll have to come with you for a while. “It’s a call.”
“yes? “Who is calling?”
“Lecture hero.”
What is coming has come.
7.
Following teacher Kang Joo-hyuk, we headed to the principal’s office.
“Okay, then let’s go.”
“good bye.”
When I arrived in front of the principal’s office, I saw third-year seniors Tae Ji-hyuk and Choi Min-ji coming out of the principal’s office.
The two seniors’ eyes lit up when they saw us about to enter the principal’s office.
Still, since we were seniors, we had to say hello and we bowed slightly to our seniors.
Then senior Tae Ji-hyuk said as he passed by.
“I enjoyed the game.”
When I paused at those words and looked back, senior Minji Choi was standing there.
“… See you later.”
“yes?”
Even though I asked back, Choi Min-ji seemed not to have heard me and started chasing Tae Ji-hyuk.
“know each other?”
“I don’t know.”
In this episode, I tilted my head and entered the principal’s office at the words of senior Minji Choi, whom I had not spoken to yet.
When we entered the principal’s office, the principal and the lecture money hero welcomed us.
“So, are you feeling okay?”
I answered the principal’s question.
“yes. It’s worth holding on to.”
“It was amazing. I didn’t expect to win like that. Anyway, the reason I called you like this is because the lecture hero wanted to see you.”
When we turned our gaze towards Kang Yeon-geum, he said:
“The reason I asked to see you like this is because the Alchemy Guild wants to support you.”
My eyes sparkled at those words. What Kang Yeon-geum said this time was not that he would make me his disciple.
“What kind of support?”
Surprisingly, it was Selina who answered, not Dabin Hwang.
“We can provide support so that you can live in the best material environment until you graduate from school.”
I responded to what the lecturer said.
“Are you a scout?”
“No, as I said before, you are not a scout. It doesn’t matter which guild you choose after graduation. “I just want to support those of you who have shown outstanding capabilities.”
I internally snorted at Kang Yeon-geum’s words, speaking with an iron plate on his face.
It’s not a lie, but it’s not the truth either.
“It’s a sudden proposal… “Can you give me some time?”
In response to my answer, Kang Yeon-geum looked at me with strange eyes and then nodded.
“I understand. You must be exhausted. Take a rest. “I’m planning on staying here until tomorrow, so I’ll see you again tomorrow.”
“thank you.”
After saying that, Kang Yeon-geum turned his gaze to the principal, and we said our goodbyes and came out of the principal’s office.
On the way out of the principal’s office and back to the classroom, I asked the two of them.
“Dabin Hwang. “Selina.”
“huh?”
“why?”
“You guys support the Alchemy Guild. Are you planning on getting it?”
From what I remember, these two had all dispersed to different guilds.
I think this episode will probably be similar, but since I was directly involved, there is a possibility that the future may change, so I had to listen to their reactions.
“It’s a free benefit, so isn’t it nice to receive it?”
I shook my head at Hwang Da-bin’s words.
That’s definitely what I told students about lecture fees.
But it was a trap.
Selina saw my reaction and asked me.
“Siwoo, you don’t plan on taking it.”
“Yeah, I won’t take it.”
“why?”
It was clear that the moment I received support, the lecture fee would spread the word to other guilds that I had decided to join the pension guild.
If word got out like that, even if I wanted to join another guild, I couldn’t.
‘You may pretend to be cool and dignified on the outside, but on the inside, there’s a snake crawling around.’
When the era of peace arrived, the seven guilds established by the Seven Heroes lost their original intentions and began to compete with each other, focusing all their efforts on recruiting capable awakeners.
I reminded them both that this could happen.
“So I think it’s better not to take it. Do you still want to receive support like this?”
“Ah, but he is a hero in name and appearance, so… … .”
Hearing Dabin Hwang’s seemingly denying words, I turned my gaze to Selina and asked her opinion.
“What are you going to do Selina?”
Since they had listened to me carefully so far, I thought Selina and Dabin Hwang would follow my lead and say that they understood.
But the answer that came out of their mouths was not the answer I wanted.
“… … “I’ll think about it until tomorrow.”
“me too.”
“… “Uh, I understand.”
Well, from their point of view, there was no need to listen to what I said directly.
It may be tempting to receive support from someone who is a hero.
“Are you really not going to get support?”
“Yes, the situation I mentioned earlier may arise, and the guild I want to go to is not the pension guild.”
“Then which guild do you want to go to?”
Dabin Hwang’s question reminded me of the guild I was planning to join.
A guild with the strongest person in the worldview of this novel, ‘the world after the apocalypse.’ The strongest guild.
As I did in the second episode, I was planning to join the ‘strongest’ guild in this novel, where the strongest person in the world is located.
Only then can you meet ‘Choi Kang,’ the guild leader of the Strongest Guild and one of the Seven Heroes.
“secret.”
But I couldn’t tell these guys about my goal yet.
In the third round, we all had to grow together. I had to let these guys see the ending with me.
In that sense, if I revealed my destination first, these guys’ future could have changed, so I kept quiet.
“Tch, it’s bland.”
“Anyway, I’m going to decline the offer. And you never know, next time other heroes may visit Awakening High School and make the same offer as the lecture fee hero.”
I thought to myself when I saw Hwang Da-bin’s eyes sparkling as she remembered the seven heroes at my words.
‘Does he really know that there is another hero targeting him?’
And in fact, the hero was planning to visit Awakening High School during the exam period.
A hero who will become Hwang Da-bin’s teacher.
The hero’s name is,
It was the healer, ‘Yoo Da-hee’.
