Chapter 49 – The Difference Between You and Me 2
I understand that you are given the second quest.
However, the content made me stump.
‘Park Da-in’s mother?’
While dating Park Da-in, I had never seen her mother.
However, I have seen her talking on the phone or interacting indirectly. In short, she was not on good terms with her mother.
The underlying reason seemed to be that she was not her biological mother.
Park Da-in’s father is a member of the National Assembly, and her birth mother died in an accident.
A young mother who took her place.
Perhaps there seems to be a complicated story in between, but anyway, even if you think only of common sense, Park Da-in’s feelings for her stepmother do not seem very good.
‘Even though…’
From her Park Da-in point of view, she deserved to be upset if I got close to her stepmother, whom she hated.
But I already knew through previous quests.
That NTL ultimately means 100% likeability.
‘Park Da-in’s stepmother to me?’
Are you just throwing quests without considering my circumstances?
The fact that Shin Hye-yeon and Park Eun-ha liked me in their previous lives was confirmed through the ‘Book of Memories’.
However, no matter how much I thought about it, I never thought that Park Da-in’s stepmother would have such a story.
At least I’ve never actually met her.
Park Da-in approached me while I was in a daze while looking at the newly assigned quest.
“Hwiyu~ You’re handsome. He is tall and has a good body.”
She turned to Kim Doo-seong and said.
“Why? Were you scared? If you think you’re right, you can prove it with your skills. Is not it?”
“Jjoo, who is scared!”
Kim Doo-seong was angry.
Park Da-in’s actions ignited his anger.
You already know that he likes you.
There would be no guy who wouldn’t be angry if he told me I was handsome and even provoked him by asking me if I was scared.
I automatically furrowed my brows.
‘She used to be like this.’
It was her specialty to open and hold a man’s heart.
Is it a so-called master of gaslighting?
I was her proper prey.
Reminds me of the things I’ve been through in my previous life, and all of this bothers me.
There was no reason for me to get caught up in the situation designed by Park Da-in and fight.
“It’s okay. What a fight I understand what you mean. But I don’t think it’s a good idea to talk like that on a first date. Anyway, since we have to stay in the same class from now on, let’s forget what just happened.”
I reached out my hand to Kim Doo-seong.
Seeing my outstretched hand, Kim Doo-seong trembled.
“This bastard! Are you teasing me now?”
Joke?
From the first day I came to the academy, I wondered what the hell this would be like.
It was then.
Suddenly, a message popped up.
【The sub quest has been opened.】
【Subquests cannot be arbitrarily accepted.】
===========================================
Title: The difference between you and me (2)
Goal: Humiliate Doo-Sung Kim in front of Da-In Park and her classmates.
Difficulty: F
Success reward: 10 EXP (skill only)
Failure Penalty: Reduced main quest deadline by one day
===========================================
“Ha…”
If this happens, I can’t help it either.
The experience points given as rewards were also very coveted.
“Hey, get out of the way! Make a seat!”
Duseong Kim said to other students.
“As expected, Duseong! It’s a man!”
“If the professors find out, there will be trouble, so let’s be quiet, be quiet.”
The students widened the space and drove Doo-Sung Kim to the middle.
And one student stood in front of the door and looked out.
In the meantime, Park Da-in, standing against the wall and looking this way, was ridiculous.
She was staring at me clearly.
It was easy to sense that she was interested in me.
‘It’s completely different from my previous life.’
In the first place, I couldn’t go with the same flow as in my previous life.
Because the point I returned to was when I was dating Seulgi Lee, and at the time I performed the quest, things were bound to be very different from the past.
Even so, I didn’t expect to see Park Da-in at Gaon Academy.
“Come on, you bastard!”
They didn’t even agree to use weapons, but Kim Du-seong took out a spear.
As you can see, the spear was no ordinary item.
Basically, it seemed that all students were given weapons worth tens of millions of won, but what was in Kim Doo-seong’s hand was worth more than that.
Probably custom.
Made to order by artisans belonging to the brand.
‘It means he’s the son of a rich family.’
Even within the guild, hunters with higher ranks used these weapons.
However, if their purpose was to customize a weapon that suited them well, Du-seong Kim’s purpose was a simple bluff.
It is the same motivation as wearing luxury clothes.
I knew how to handle all kinds of weapons and recently intensively practiced swordsmanship, but I didn’t feel the need to take out my weapon right now.
At any rate, I couldn’t let Kim Doo-seong blindly attack and cut me badly with my sword.
I just entered Gaon today, and I had no intention of being kicked out on the first day of admission.
I stood still and looked at Kim Doo-seong.
‘What is this, this poor posture.’
The students at the university and the guy in front of me were all pathetic.
I didn’t feel like I had learned anything at all.
Even if the academy threw a tablet, it didn’t manage properly, so it was understandable that it was in this state.
‘What kind of guts.’
It was clear that he had little or no experience of fighting Hunters from his careless remarks.
Since she is the son of a rich family, she must be just looking at the world in a funny way.
“You bastard, are you splitting?”
It seemed like I was laughing involuntarily.
Kim Doo-seong, who was excited to see it, rushed first.
You might be holding an expensive weapon in your hand and imbuing it with mana.
I easily turned and dodged his attack.
There was no need to use “Behavior prediction.”
He grabbed his arm swinging in the air and twisted it, dropping his weapon.
Click.
Seeing the weapon fall from his hand, Kim Doo-seong was devastated.
The students who were excited and raised their voices all became quiet together.
I grabbed Kim Doo-sung by the neck and pulled him up.
“Ugh! Oops!”
Because of the height difference, he struggled with his feet in the air.
“Hey, won’t you let this go?”
“I’ll let you go if you apologize and admit defeat.”
“Fuck! Are you kidding me? Why am I apologizing to you?”
“Phew…”
I sighed, grabbed Kim Doo-sung by the neck, and rushed toward the wall.
“Uh? Uh?”
Embarrassed, Kim Doo-seong’s eyes widened, but it was too late to apologize.
Bang!
His body was slammed against the wall.
It was right next to Park Da-in that I threw Kim Doo-sung’s torso.
Despite the flurry of stone dust, Park Da-in did not blink an eye.
She was originally such a woman.
Rumble,
Kim Doo-seong, who had lost consciousness from the shock, fell down the wall.
“Doo-sung!”
“Hey, check if you’re breathing!”
His friends made a fuss, but of course he didn’t die.
He would wake up if he drank a bottle of potion.
[Completed the sub-quest ‘The difference between you and me (2).]
【I got 10 EXP (skill only) as a reward.】
One of Kim Doo-sung’s friends shouted at me.
“Hey! That’s too much! You said you weren’t a B-class?”
“No.”
“Huh?”
It seemed that he couldn’t understand it because it was such an overwhelming fight.
Kim Doo-sung and I not only had the same overall grade, but all stats were the same.
The difference was that I had several skills, but I didn’t use any skills in the fight against him.
Rather, Duseong Kim fought with a spear, while I did not even draw out my sword.
“What is your name?”
Park Da-in said as he removed his back from the wall.
“Choi Seong-gyu.”
“Choi Seong-gyu…Is that a manly name?”
Park Da-in stood in front and looked up at me.
“I am Park Da-in. Let’s be friendly.”
She held out her hand.
Looking at her haunted her with painful memories of her previous life.
When I met Lee Seul-gi again, there was a little longing, but I couldn’t feel that at all against Park Da-in.
But I held her hand.
“What are you doing today?”
“What are you doing? You are at the academy right now.”
“You really don’t know?”
“What?”
“The professors here don’t care about us. We came into the academy just to get our diplomas. Why do we have to go into dungeons and hunt monsters? It’s not a big deal to get an executive position in a tolerable guild if you have a diploma here. It’s me, but I’m going to make my own guild. You don’t have to get along with us for nothing. If you go out into society, everything will become a good relationship. As long as you’re okay, I’ll take care of you.”
He looked confident.
Actually, it wasn’t wrong.
Even though they were hunters, there were people who lived better without entering dungeons.
They only enjoyed the privileges they could get with the title of Hunter, but did not take any responsibility for it.
Even if he hadn’t become a Hunter in the first place, he would have eaten well and lived well.
The title of Hunter and the graduation from Gaon Academy only gave wings to their lives.
For me, Park Da-in’s confident face only disgusted me.
