Chapter 67

After finishing dinner and Parnello’s successor class.

[Jin-woo: How was your day?]

As soon as I took a shower and lay down on the bed, Jin-woo’s message came up on the club group chat.

[Jin-woo: I thought I was going crazy. Artemis Han Yeo-eun? What kind of mentor tries to put a knife in his mentee under the pretext of training? He kept ambushing me saying that an assassin’s enemy is an assassin. I thought I was going to die.]

[Young-jae: This side was not bad for being weird. He taught me magic well.]

[Jin-woo: Magician is honey]

[Se-ah: Do you want to die?]

[Jin-woo: Who was your mentor?]

[Se-ah: Lee Ji-hyun]

[Young-jae: “…”]

[Jin-woo: “…”]]

It seemed like the other kids had a good time with their mentors too.

[Jin-woo: But how was the boss?]

This time, the arrow of interest came to me.

[Me: He was a nice person.]

[Jinwoo: End?]

[Me: End.]

[Jinwoo: “…”]

[Se-ah: By the way, Eugene. Instructor Ji-hyun asked me if you’re coming to the Academy tomorrow.]

[Me: Why did she ask you instead of asking me?]

[Se-ah: She said she was annoyed.]

[Young-jae: …That sounds like her.]

[Jinwoo: Yeah]

I can skip classes up to three times a week if I have a mentor.

That is, except for Se-ah who has Ji-hyun as her mentor, the other kids don’t have to come to the Academy.

[Me: I’m thinking of going for now, but what about the others?]

There was no request from the Recipe Development club yet, so it didn’t matter.

[Se-ah: I’m going, of course. Oh, I’ll tell the instructor that you’re coming tomorrow.]

[Young-jae: I don’t think I can.]

[Jin-woo: That crazy mentor said he’d kill me if I don’t come tomorrow.]

Only Se-ah can do it…

I finished talking to the kids and closed my eyes.

All the windows that were floating in front of me until then closed and the sight darkened.

I thought there wouldn’t be anything special tomorrow either, so I fell asleep…

Why?

“Eugene, she asked me to give this to you again.”

[Challenge]

Why doesn’t the world leave me alone?

“…This time it’s in Korean.”

“I was curious too, so I asked her. She said she thought you couldn’t read it and threw it away last time because it was written in Chinese characters.”

Choi Yeon, who sent me a challenge again without getting tired of losing to me in the last class ranking match.

The contents were the same as the last time I saw them.

The only difference was…

“Last time she said let’s fight on Monday, but this time it’s Wednesday.”

I threw it into the trash can.

“You’re throwing it away again.”

“I have no reason to fight.”

There were many more important things than fighting Choi Yeon right now.

The most important thing was to clear the main quest.

The translucent UI window was still floating in front of me.

【Main Story】

[You have brought a new wind to the Academy! By creating a new club, you have written your own new history! Lead your club to success and become a silver club!]

[Achievement Condition: Complete 5 club requests!]

[Number of requests completed: 1 / 5]

[※The achievement reward may vary depending on the result.]

I had just completed one request from the Recipe Development club.

“Is there any request for our club on the school community request board?”

Thanks to Jin-woo’s mess on the community, the internet promotion manager of the club changed from Jin-woo to Se-ah.

She recently posted on the school community that she was taking requests, so I wondered if there was any reaction.

But…

“No, there are only some reaction comments, but no requests.”

“…Maybe we attracted too much attention.”

The problem with our ‘Familia’ right now was two things.

We were getting too much attention and we had a lot of enemies.

Basically, by finishing off the ‘Ranger Club’ this time, the clubs that were friendly with the ‘Ranger Club’ in the upper ranks regarded our club as an enemy.

Fortunately, we and the ‘International Trade Club’ were almost allies, so they seemed to be quiet, but what was certain was that they didn’t like us.

“Yes… Putting a request on Familia means risking turning other clubs that are hostile to Familia into enemies.”

Se-ah nodded as she agreed.

“…We need an event that can reverse the atmosphere.”

Wasn’t there anything in the game?

There were definitely some minor events, but most of the events related to clubs were things that happened in the middle of the first semester.

If you join a club according to the original timeline, freshmen are probationary and have to adapt, and there are various events at the Academy, so it’s natural.

Then… Do I have to make an event myself?

As I was thinking about that.

“Everyone, take your seats…Wow, are there so many people in our class who got a mentorship? Why are there so many empty seats?”

Ji-hyun, who came in with the attendance book, muttered as she looked at the unusually empty classroom.

“Eugene Han, you came to school, so did you get rejected by that old man?”

She smiled slyly as she looked at me but I smiled back as if it was nothing.

“He said he had something to prepare and told me to come in three days.”

“…He’s preparing for three days? He must have grilled you hard.”

She looked at me with a surprised expression as she skimmed through the mentor agreement that Kwak Chun-sik had given me.

It seemed like she didn’t expect me to get a formal mentorship so soon.

“…You really got it. You must have impressed him a lot.”

“I tried hard.”

“If you tried hard, he would have flipped his eyes and still had some left. Okay, that’s all for the mentor agreements in our class… Is there anyone who has something to ask me or tell me?”

No one raised their hand.

She scanned the class and said as she left the classroom.

“Morning attendance is over. I have my class in the first period, so see you then?”

The class that Ji-hyun taught was [Hero Tactics], which discussed the most suitable tactics in a confrontation with villains.

She used her magic to show simulations of applying those tactics, and most of the students liked her class because they could see the simulations of confronting villains with their own strategies.

‘It’s one of the most fun classes.’

I liked her class too, because it felt like she was acknowledging me when I used the tactics I used often in my gamer days and surprised her and the other students.

After a short break, Ji-hyun came back with a tired expression and slumped on her chair.

“…Before I start the class, I have one announcement. Eugene Han, did you catch a villain yesterday?”

A villain? Does she mean Shin Chul-Gwimol?

It seemed like my story came up at the faculty meeting this morning through the Association.

“I did get help from teacher Kwak Chun-sik, but I definitely subdued him.”

“Then it’s true… It’s common for Academy students to catch villains when they go for mentoring, but… It’s unprecedented to cause trouble on the first day. The dean said he wants to see you later.”

“…The dean?”

“Yeah, I don’t think he’s going to scold you. It doesn’t seem like a bad thing either so go see him before club activities after lunch.”

The dean wants to see me personally, I’ve never caught a villain so soon while following the Academy route.

Maybe he’ll give me some reward.

“Then let’s start the class.”

As she snapped her fingers, the positions of the students changed and the middle became empty.

And at the same time, purple magic rose from the empty space. They started to clump together and form a small city.

“This battlefield is based on a real battle I had eight years ago. The location is Gangnam Avenue near Gangnam Station. The enemy villain is ‘Golem Master’, who can make golems out of nearby objects.”

Golem Master.

He was a villain who was mentioned a few times in the game, and he was also a villain who appeared in the mid-late game.

“His ability varies depending on the surrounding environment. He makes sand golems in the desert, dirt golems in the forest, and in the city… concrete golems and asphalt golems. He appeared in the middle of the city and started making golems out of roads and buildings.”

At the same time, countless golems appeared on the field she had set up and filled up the road.

“You know, these golems are actually not as tough as they seem. They’re a little stiff, but not so much so that they’d be considered stiff for an Awakened, and they don’t have any intelligence, just simple commands.”

And again, she snapped her fingers and five human-shaped dolls popped up on the opposite side of Golem Master.

“Our team consists of five people: a space mage, a fighter, a paladin, an archer, and a swordsman who uses a longsword. Then here’s the question.”

She smiled slyly as she looked at us.

“What’s the best way to beat him with minimal damage? Well, let’s start with Noyun.”

“Yes?! Uh… Wouldn’t it be ideal to put the paladin and swordsman in the front line, fighter in the middle line, and archer and space mage in the back line?”

Noyun answered with a textbook-like answer to her question.

She nodded her head and ran the simulation. Then five-party members ran towards Golem Master.

They managed to cut through countless golems, but they couldn’t handle the continuous influx and were soon erased by the golems.

“Well, congratulations. As you said, the five-party members died of exhaustion after breaking through the endless golems. Next?”

This time, she asked a girl.

“How about the space mage and archer cooperate to assassinate the enemy Golem Master? Meanwhile, the others protect them from the front line.”

“Ho. You seem to have thought about it.”

She ran the simulation again.

The space mage calculated the coordinates and the movement of the arrow, and the archer shot the arrow with all his strength.

The arrow flew towards Golem Master with an irregular and bizarre trajectory.

Not a bad progress.

But soon, the arrow was blocked by the golems that surrounded him.

“Too bad, if only Golem Master didn’t prioritize his safety over anything else, it would have been the most likely. Next?”

She asked us one by one for a strategy.

After several attempts, some of them came up with a strategy that barely succeeded, but even that resulted in the sacrifice of some of the combatants.

And then it was my turn.

“Well, our second seat Eugene Han? What do you think?”

She smiled as if she was very excited and asked me.

I looked at the surrounding situation and terrain and slowly opened my mouth.

“…I would.”

Watch this. This is the real strategy of a hardcore gamer.
