Chapter 19 – 019 Mina Kang (1)

Every Week
Internet community available only to students of Korea Academy.
It is a community where useful information such as incidents and accidents related to hunters, guild information, new gates and monsters are shared.
There is a lot of useful information, so students use it a lot.
Since it is a community, there was also a free bulletin board, which was the loudest with the theme of Siwoo Kim and Seoah Yoon’s sparring since yesterday.
[ Breaking news! Yoon Seo-ah’s first defeat in Dalian, but that opponent is Kim Si-woo haha ]
Kim Si-woo wins, Yun Seo-ah loses on the display board in a one-on-one competition
And there was a video that seemed to be recorded with a cell phone.
[Who is Siwoo Kim?]
[Don’t you know that the whole school is in last place? Minji Kang Partner ]
[Oh, that envious guy, but what about him? ]
Most of the responses were nonsensical. Yoon Seo-ah’s first defeat, who has never lost
Seo-ah Yoon’s defeat is also unbelievable, but Seo-ah Yoon lost to the last in the school? How many people can you trust
[ ?? ]
[Is Kim Si-woo in last place in the whole school? Does that make sense? ]
[Sex I can’t see anything because of the smoke]
[ Anyway, the main work, anyway, the main work, anyway, the main work, anyway, the main work, anyway ]
The guys who were jealous of Yoon Seo-ah wanted it all at this time and cut off her Yoon Seo-ah.
[Yoon Seo-ah, I was too careless. It seems like it’s going to be a big deal when it’s not cheap.]
[I recognized Yoon Seo-ah from the moment he spoke up haha]
Some people said that Kim Si-woo was cowardly.
[Was it okay to use throwables? ]
[It can be used if approved, but it is new to use it haha]
[It’s the first time I’ve seen a guy who fills up six throwables]
[I was there, and Yoon Seo-ah took care of me, and she threw a smoke screen, a bomb, and a noise maker, and won by making a real fuss]
There were also opinions that no one cared about.
[I think I saw a blue light. What is it? ]
[Aren’t you a 2nd Awakener? ]
Although it was part of it, there were also people who responded positively to Kim Si-woo.
[I had an intuition, but it seems that Kim Si-woo has awakened? Looking at the movement, it seems to be at least in the middle rank]
[ ㅇㅇ I was watching too, but Seoah Yoon, the ice wall broke at once? ]
[You can see that they say they can’t see because of the smoke above; Yoon Seo-ah, there are a lot of anti-dogs]
Whether in a good direction or a bad direction, Kim Si-woo’s awareness gradually began to rise.

As you grow taller, the world looks different. Because I came early, there were few students.
Because of the sudden increase in height, the ankles were exposed, which made me feel a little awkward, but it wasn’t bad.
‘I’ll have to get new pants.’
People say that the air you breathe in high places is more refreshing, or the quality of the air is different.
‘It’s very refreshing.’
It’s not a good look enough to be called a one-top, but a warm look that makes you look back at least once
‘How many hardships have you had by Kang Min-ji’s side?
How many times have you been compared to Kang Min-ji, who has a top-notch 1st grade appearance?
While being a partner next to Kang Min-ji, who turns even ordinary humans into squid, he suffered a lot.
‘I did have an inferiority complex!’
Our Minji is kind, so she doesn’t say such things, but there were many times when she was criticized for her appearance when she was next to Kang Minji.
There were a lot of jealous guys, so it was a bit harsh behind the scenes. But I think I can lessen my worries about being cursed at now.
Compared to Kang Min-ji, it may be a little lacking, but this is not enough to be inferior anywhere.
‘It’s definitely different.’
There were more eyes looking at me secretly than before. Seeing that more women’s gazes than men’s, I think it’s a look that can be eaten.
“It’s a little noisy.”
__Have you heard the rumor? I heard Seoah Yoon lost yesterday?
__What? Yoon Seo-ah? Nonsense. To whom?
__ Siwoo Kim? She said she lost
“Hmmmm…”
Wherever I go, I hear the story of Dalian yesterday. Sometimes even hearing my name makes me feel more famous than before.
I was tired when there were too many people recognizing me, but I met the eyes of a female student I was talking to.
__Look at him.
Did you know, this might be tiring.
__I don’t know who it is, but I think he’s rather handsome.
__Why ask for a number?
__No! Let’s go quickly, it will be late Dalian.
“…”
Are you not aware that your appearance has changed? Maybe only the name became famous and the face became unknown.
“Maybe that would be more comfortable?”
The school atmosphere was generally upbeat. It might be because all formal classes are over.
After the one-on-one sparring, all evaluations are over, that is, the semester ends.
The four-week vacation that begins after that, people like me who finished Dalian on the first day can enjoy the vacation.
In the case of students from the provinces, some go back to their hometowns, and some go back to enjoy everything they couldn’t enjoy during the vacation.
‘I would go to work at least part-time job normally, but not anymore’
Most of them stayed at school because the sparring was not over yet.
‘Because I have to watch the senior year tournament.’
Unlike the first graders, who were randomly assigned opponents, the upper grades were proceeding in a tournament format.
Because I have some experience, the quality of sparring is different. So, for most freshmen, it was necessary to watch the game. You can learn various coping methods and experiences just by watching the game.
In addition, even large guilds come to watch the game to bring talented people, so it can be said that it is a real main event that is incomparable to a freshman year.
After the Dalian, it was obvious that everyone was excited because it was vacation.
There were only three hours left until the start of the Dalian, and there were certainly few people in the school. I was worried that he might not come, but my worries were unfounded.
“Are you inside?”
One Unanswered Question What happens when you customize and go back to the past?
‘Machina, I said fate points have nothing to do with loads, right?’
[ Yes, it is. ]
‘Then, what happens to the result of customization using fate points when I go back to the past?’
He hit 76P only for his looks. If it flies away, I have the confidence to bite the crab foam.
[ Points are not returned. ]
‘Could it be that the appearance is being reset?’
[ Changes are not initialized. ]
That’s fortunate, but going back to the past with an altered appearance? Then the risk of being discovered that you have awakened increases.
‘Does this mean I have to wait unconditionally?’
[Save Load: LV2
If you specify a save point and load, you will return to that point.
If you die, the last saved point will be loaded.
– Currently available save points: 2
– Point renewal is possible one week after designation. Call times are also reverted on load.
– Remaining time until renewal available: 40:13:12
]
[ What are you waiting for? ]
‘Of course it’s the save point renewal cooldown.’
[Um…Don’t you know that the remaining time is applied separately for each slot? ]
‘What?’
I listened to Makina’s words and pressed the slot I saved before entering Kang Min-ah’s professor’s room.
– Remaining time until renewal available: 00:00:00
‘… Save.’
I didn’t know because I never had to load the first slot. I felt like I would want to give up after pressing it for no reason, so I just thought it wasn’t there and sealed it.
‘If there is anything like this in the future, let me know.’
[ ..Did you really not know? ]

It smelled of fragrant flowers, a familiar scent. I was naturally seated at a large table in the center.
On the other side of Professor Kang Min-ah’s room, Kang Min-ah was sitting with a nervous expression.
When we first met, it took some time for me to realize that I was Siwoo Kim. I don’t think I’ve modified that much, but is it that much of a difference?
Kang Min-ah knew what I was going to say. That’s why she glanced at the pattern on her wrist.
‘Should I check the affinity?’
============
Name: Minah Kang
– Likeability: 32
– Sex drive: 0
– Fatigue 35
My heart: how do you do it? What Minji said was true..
============
Her likability, which was expected to have fallen to the floor, had risen. Maybe the power of looks?
‘There may be some impact, but not all.’
You would have realized that what happened in the cave was not a lie after seeing me fighting Seo-ah Yoon.
First of all, since I saved Kang Min-ji, I feel like my likability has been restored.
‘Which direction should I go…’
If the likability was at the bottom, the teaching assistant was unconditionally carried out. However, contrary to expectations, the increased favorability.
‘Can I raise my favorability more here?’
Will my liking for Kang Min-ah go up? It may go up a bit.
But to the extent that dating is possible? To the extent that you want to get married?
‘That’s tough’
Breaking her silence, Kang Min-ah opened her mouth first.
“First I want to say I’m sorry.”
“I’m sorry?”
“It’s my fault for not believing student Kim Si-woo’s words and speaking recklessly, I want to apologize.”
“So, are you asking me to cancel the bet?”
I waved the patterned hand. A momentary, but trembling eye.
“No, I’m not that shameless. Was it conditional that you do whatever I asked for?”
“Yes, I won, so you must keep your promise.”
I was looking at Kang Min-ah with a relaxed expression.
“Do you need money? If you need money, I’ll give it to you.”
“No.”
Money can be easily obtained as long as you return. It may be less right now, but if you just return, making money is not a job.
“.. Then do you need an artifact? As long as it’s not too excessive..”
“Not even that.”
“Then, do you want a letter of recommendation? It’s hard to confirm membership, but I can write a good one.”
“Not even that.”
Whenever she said no to me, Minah Kang presented what she could give. But it wasn’t what I wanted.
“What do you want…? If you ask me to change the test results, that’s a request I can’t grant.”
I just shake my head without speaking.
“Professor.”
“… Are you Kim Si-woo?”
“Your everything.”
“Yes?”
“I want you.”
