Chapter 87 – 29. The Second Half of the Original Story. For Party Teamwork? (2)
Iris visited an unfamiliar city called Busan.
Academy Cadet Competition.
He said that it was a competition with a history in which cadets from the academy competed against each other.
She has always lived in her small studio room.
Since Iris was staying in a hotel with a view of the sea, she couldn’t help but be excited all night long.
And the silver-haired nun Yuyena, who became her roommate.
Last night was quite enjoyable because I was able to match Iris’s mood very well.
This morning.
That is, until I came out to the hotel lobby and witnessed that scene.
“Good morning, Instructor Eric!”
A young woman greeted her tall man.
A woman with long black hair that anyone would consider pretty. Suah Seo.
As she entered her lobby, she could feel the eyes of the men in her lobby paying attention to Seo Soo-ah.
‘Tch. ‘How can such a pretentious bitch be so pretty?’
Before coming to this place called Earth.
Wherever she was, it was Iris herself who attracted attention with her looks.
I felt extremely jealous of her interest in Seo Su-ah.
“Oh. Iris. “People in the lobby keep glancing at Iris!”
It seems like he recognized Seo Soo-ah’s disgruntled mood.
Yoo Yena, who was snuggling next to Seo Soo-ah, spoke hurriedly.
As the saint said.
She is with Eric, a tall foreign handsome man.
Although she had a lot of eyes directed at Seo Soo-ah.
Still, she had many people staring at her with her fiery, beautiful red hair.
‘Hehe. Okay. Yuyena is right. What kind of person am I!’
That brief moment.
Iris, who hastily regained her self-esteem, thought about what Eric had said a few days ago.
– This match is important. The winning title doesn’t mean much, though. This is a golden opportunity to create proper teamwork in the 13th platoon.
Eric’s eyes were serious as he said that.
‘Teamwork?’
First of all, it’s not just that obnoxious Seo Soo-ah.
I honestly didn’t like Jeong Ha-eun, who was wearing headphones in this lobby as if she didn’t want to talk to other people.
She is the daughter of the president of a large guild called Helios or something.
So, in this country, he is a noble with a similar status as Iris.
She is not, she is a woman close to the royal family.
Maybe that’s why. She is a cocky woman who feels arrogant in a different way than Seo Soo-ah.
Well, other than me, Yuye, who was by her side with her arms crossed.
These were women who I had no intention of becoming friends with.
‘Still, I can’t go against Alfred’s words… No, I can’t go against Eric’s words.’
I wonder if her lost memories will come back.
Like now, she has entrusted her whole life to Eric and she can’t help it since she is who she is.
I don’t think she will do that though.
If he really kicked Iris out of his house.
The two become indifferent.
Moreover, Eric’s surroundings are full of women who are openly selfish like that.
‘Seo Soo-ah… And Jeong Ha-eun too!’
Needless to say, Seo Su-ya.
Even though she wasn’t Jeong Ha-eun, I could feel that she was conscious of Eric.
I don’t know if it’s Yuyena, who doesn’t seem to be interested in men.
‘Or like instructor Joo Na-yeon over there… Hmm?’
At that time, instructor Joo Na-yeon, who came out to the lobby at the right time, turned red.
It seems like Eric was at the end of that gaze.
When I was chatting with Yuyena yesterday.
She asked just in case.
That instructor Joo Na-yeon is famous for not being very interested in men.
Therefore, it was excluded from the alert list.
‘Phew… Anyway. From now on, I have to try to match Eric’s personality as much as possible. Going back to the old master-slave relationship. ‘It was after Eric completely fell in love with me.’
So, this is a good method that I heard from Yoo Ye-na.
I was thinking of doing a so-called crush on Eric.
‘Even that cocky Seo Soo-ah can pretend to be friendly! If only I could make Eric my man again!’
Iris headed towards Seo Su-ah, who rarely tried to separate from Eric.
“Oh! It’s the beginning of a great battle! Wizards and swordsmen are the most important in the party. Shall we fight together?”
As she said that, she held out her hand first.
The fact that she shook hands first was a great favor and good fortune for that ordinary woman.
“Iris! You have great motivation! Sure! I also played a party with Iris. I’m looking forward!”
Seo Soo-ah held his hand.
Wow-
However, unlike that brightly smiling face.
Seo Su-ah was putting a lot of pressure on her hand.
‘You pretentious bitch!’
And Eric smiled happily when he saw that.
***
The academy competition was conducted under various rules.
At one point, there were plans to turn this academy competition into a commercial sport.
The current president of the Hunter Association, I felt from a recent meeting, was a pretty decent person.
They said they would focus on training and academics so that the academy’s cadets could become full-time hunters.
For me, his policy wasn’t bad.
Current counter evangelism according to the president’s policy.
This is because it was no different from a well-made training in itself.
“As expected, I won the first round easily.”
Joo Na-yeon, who was watching the briefing screen in the coach waiting area with me, said.
The first round is a 4-on-4 death match with no mission tasks.
The competition field was a normal map that wasn’t that difficult.
Su-a lightly lifted her sword and freed her body, and two members of the opposing team were already retired.
‘Hmm. Su-ah is full of motivation.’
The reason was obvious.
I’m watching her game from the coach’s seat.
It seemed like he was working harder than usual to impress me.
‘There’s nothing wrong with that, though.’
However, the story changes when you advance to the higher rounds.
No matter how talented the party members of 13th Platoon are.
The cadets who will advance to the final round will at least have much better teamwork than those four.
‘Teamwork. It’s teamwork…’
The original demonic beast that will be unsealed and resurrected.
What if the goddess had set the main character, Su-ah, as a hero-like being who would block her magical powers?
Jeong Ha-eun and Yoo Ye-na, who had a high role in the original work, were clearly members of the hero party.
By the goddess’s arrangement, even Iris and I joined.
This means that with this member composition, we can somehow prevent the coming apocalypse.
‘But to put it backwards…’
If only the party had to be like this.
On the contrary, it means that Su-ah alone cannot prevent the apocalypse no matter what she does.
In fact, Su-ah in the original work also became unable to trust her colleagues after going down her impoverished route.
She experiences extreme mental pain and becomes involved in a dark group.
“But I’m a little worried. “The kids have strong personalities… I wonder if the fact that there is no clear party leader among the party members is a weakness at the moment.”
And at that very moment.
Joo Na-yeon accurately pointed out the problem of the 13th Platoon.
‘During the midterm exam, I threw carrots at everyone appropriately, but…’
That method is a temporary solution.
I had to somehow help the main character, Su-ah, to truly get along with everyone.
But the moment I saw the composition of the members.
No matter how positive the country was, it was inevitable to feel a little discouraged.
‘I guess the goddess isn’t here all year round for no reason.’
From the beginning, Jeong Ha-eun had a sense of inferiority and rivalry towards Seo Soo-ah.
And Iris, who only knows herself.
She also seems like a friendly and benevolent saint.
She is a reprieve and even I am not as pure as I thought.
As a member of Sua’s party, he was not an easy opponent.
‘If she had been passionate like the original, she would have at least made friendship somehow.’
Just like a boy’s cartoon.
If you hit and fight openly, you will feel bad feelings.
The air flow that can be felt between those four people.
As expected, there was no friendship at all, just the awkwardness between uncomfortable competitors.
Above all, Sua will be the focal point.
Because of my problem, I felt that I was overly conscious of my fellow platoon members.
‘Well, then, in the end, it’s up to me to resolve it.’
I have already figured out how severe Su-ah’s obsession with me is.
If so, the method was clear.
‘If Su-ah unites that party. She must receive a reward that Su-ah will be very satisfied with.’
The platoon members were stretching in the locker room provided at the competition venue.
There was a game a little while ago.
In fact, Suah almost finished her game alone.
The other platoon members didn’t even seem to sweat.
“Hmm. It’s a pity that I don’t have a chance to come forward! “If I had my magic, I would have done a much better job than Su-Ayang over there!”
“…”
Iris grumbled that she didn’t like the situation in which Su-ah was in the spotlight.
As expected, Su-a didn’t even pay attention to Iris.
‘A complete disregard.’
But soon I saw that I had entered the locker room.
He answered Iris with his usual innocent and bright smile.
“Oh! Sorry! I just… Worked harder than usual for my platoon. However, if Iris wants, I will consider giving up the main dealer role in the next game! “Iris, you are much better than me!”
In front of me, like Su-ah, she acts like a young lady.
He gave a very standard answer and immediately put Iris in the mood.
“Joy! Even if you don’t specifically tell me that I’m outstanding. “I know very well that I am an excellent wizard.”
However, Iris, who made a triumphant expression as if she was very satisfied with those empty words, was just like her.
I looked at that scene silently and slowly approached Su-ah.
“Soo-ah, you. “Let’s have a personal interview with me.”
At those words, the back of Sua’s neck immediately turned red.
