Episode 18 friends(3)
8.
After clearly conveying my intention to Dabin Hwang and Selina, I returned to the classroom with them.
“uh? “Is the story over?”
At that moment, teacher Kang Joo-hyuk, who was coming out of the classroom, saw us and asked.
“yes.”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk probably had a rough idea of what we would have talked about, but he did not ask me what we talked about.
“It ended earlier than expected? Today’s class is over. I sent all the kids off from school. “You must have had a hard time today, so go back.”
“Yes, teacher!”
Dabin Hwang answered, and we said hello and tried to pass the teacher.
“Oh, right. All three of you. Have you decided on a teacher for personal guidance?”
I responded to Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk’s words by shaking my head.
“no. “Not yet.”
From last time, it seemed like teacher Kang Joo-hyuk secretly wanted me to be chosen as his personal instructor.
“I have decided.”
“okay?”
I looked surprised at Selina’s words.
This was due to the fact that I had already decided on a teacher to receive personal instruction.
“There is nothing I can do if I decide, but since they are children in my class, I have a desire to personally guide them as a homeroom teacher.”
“I will take note of what you said, teacher.”
Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk nodded to Hwang Da-bin’s answer.
“Okay, I hope you choose well. “Starting this week, classes will focus on personal instruction.”
“thank you.”
With those words, Teacher Kang Joo-hyuk returned to the teacher’s office.
“Let’s go too.”
“To the dorm?”
I wanted to go back to the dormitory and get some rest, but I had work to do before that.
“no. “Let’s go to the canteen.”
“store?”
I waved the envelope that I had handed over to Dabin Hwang earlier.
“I have to go write this.”
“Yeah, I was hungry too. let’s go!”
I said while laughing at Dabin Hwang’s words.
“Look forward.”
This is because it seemed like they still didn’t know exactly about the cafeteria at Gakseong High School.
“huh? “What do you expect?”
Dabin Hwang, who didn’t know that there was a lot more to eat than just food, looked at me with an expression full of curiosity.
I avoided answering because it was something I would find out anyway, and Selina looked at the two of us and said.
“By the way, the canteen. “Where are you?”
***
After teaching Selina how to read the school map, as she was unable to properly use the latest map on her smartphone, we headed to the cafeteria.
“This is a real store?”
The size of the store was considerable. One large door was tightly closed, and the word ‘Store’ was written in large letters on the door.
“But how do I get in?”
I took out three store vouchers from the envelope and gave two of them to Selina and Dabin Hwang.
Then, I held the ‘store voucher’ to the door.
“If you bring it like this… … .”
[Check store voucher. Proceed with user registration. Please give me your hand.]
Da-bin Hwang and Selina looked amazed when they saw the hologram that appeared in front of them.
“Stop wasting your time and register yourself. “That’s the only way you can get in.”
“Oh, yes.”
I saw Selina and Dabin Hwang holding the concession ticket to the door and placed my hand on the hologram that appeared.
[Confirmation of human body information, student Lee Si-woo, 1st grade, class 5. Confirmed. Entry is possible.]
Grumble.
With the word that the position was confirmed, the tightly closed door began to open.
7.
“what is this… … .”
As we entered through the open door, numerous items greeted us.
As I was looking through the items, someone walked out from inside.
“Welcome… what? freshman?”
“Senior Tae Ji-hyuk?”
The man who appeared from the canteen was Tae Ji-hyuk, a senior wearing an apron.
At Dabin Hwang’s words, senior Tae Jihyuk looked at the concession ticket we were holding and nodded.
“So, I see that you also received it. “Store ticket.”
“yes.”
“Are you here to buy something too?”
To say that, Tae Ji-hyuk’s outfit was a little strange.
Senior Tae Ji-hyuk looked at us confused and said,
“No, I’m working.”
“yes?”
“I’m working at a canteen. Oops, did I make the customers stand too long? Anyway, congratulations. “I visited the cafeteria at Gakseong High School.”
As Tae Ji-hyuk spoke, Selina and Hwang Da-bin looked at me.
He looked like he didn’t know how to react.
I spoke on behalf of those two.
“thank you. “Then can I take a look?”
“However much. “If there’s something you want to buy, let’s talk about it.”
I already knew that senior Tae Ji-hyuk was a canteen worker.
This is because during the second time, when I first visited the canteen, senior Tae Ji-hyuk was managing the canteen.
Why is a 3rd year senior working in a place like this?
If you think about it, it was a simple problem.
This is because there were many things you could gain from school if you worked at the canteen.
For example, receiving daily wages as points.
“Oh, right. But did you bring your money? “I didn’t take it.”
I answered that with a chuckle.
“You don’t have to have money.”
“huh?”
“that’s right. “What you need when purchasing items at a store is points, not money.”
“Points?”
As Hwang Da-bin tilted his head, senior Tae Ji-hyuk touched the air and made a hologram appear.
“Now, this is your point.”
[This is Dabin Hwang’s point status.]
[You received 100 points as a reward for winning the class competition.]
[Dabin Hwang]
-Points: 100
Selina and I also received the same 100 points.
“This is the point.”
“Yes, 100 points received during the match against each other. “You can buy the items you want with this.”
Hwang Da-bin nodded, and a growling sound was heard from his stomach.
When I got to the cafeteria, I felt hungry.
Hwang Da-bin’s face turned red, and senior Tae Ji-hyuk pretended not to notice what he heard and showed a hologram.
[Popular menu!]
[Tasteta]
-This is a bread that will make you feel like a star when you eat it.
-Price: 1 point
[the banana milk]
-It is banana-flavored milk.
-Price: 1 point
Bread and milk appeared.
If you spend 2 points, you can eat delicious bread and banana milk.
However, it was a waste to spend points on food.
“Can I buy that and eat it?”
“It’s a waste of points.”
I answered Dabin Hwang’s question, and Dabin Hwang made a sullen expression at my cold words.
Tae Ji-hyuk, seeing that expression, approached Hwang Da-bin and whispered something.
I was worried for no reason.
“Did you say Hwang Da-bin? If it’s okay… … .”
“yes?!”
“Oh, please just this once. “Because it was ordered by the teachers.”
“ah… All right.”
I don’t know what they talked about, but Hwang Da-bin looked hesitant before answering, and Tae Ji-hyuk smiled brightly and touched the hologram.
Soon, a banana milk appeared in Tae Ji-hyuk’s hand.
“Now, this is free.”
My ears perked up when I heard that it was free, and I looked at Dabin Hwang.
Hwang Da-bin, who stuck a straw into banana milk, took a sip of the milk and said.
“If you drink banana milk, will you fall in love with me?”
“… … .”
I almost fell for a moment.
What did he do now?
“Wow, that was the best! If this is the case, sales will skyrocket, right? thank you!”
I shook my head as I watched senior Tae Ji-hyuk making a fuss.
It seemed like he asked for a banana milk CF.
‘It must be very popular.’
A beautiful woman with flowing black hair is seen sucking banana milk.
There will definitely be an uproar from the male students.
Thinking it had nothing to do with me, I started looking through the items.
The only items available at the school store anyway are ordinary items.
The real ones had to go out to find them.
‘But it’s better than nothing.’
The store where you can purchase items using points was a space that only a select few could use in Awakening High School.
It was a good idea to pack everything you could.
When I looked to the side, I saw senior Tae Ji-hyuk walking around with Selina and Hwang Da-bin and looking at the item list.
If it wasn’t for senior Tae Ji-hyuk, I might have had to explain it to them.
I walked around here and there with steps that seemed comfortable.
This wasn’t the first time I used the concession stand.
I didn’t use it the first time, but I used it the second time.
‘I need to buy something other than the item I bought back then.’
I had no intention of becoming stronger alone like I did in the second round.
Due to the nature of my talent, I was able to become stronger as the people around me became stronger, and I planned to make the most of this in this episode.
However, I also had to make enough for one person.
‘What I need most now is… … .’
It’s like this.
[Fatigue Relief]
-It blows away the fatigue accumulated throughout the body.
-Price: 10 points.
With this, I could make this wretched body stronger.
“Is it possible for me to purchase this?”
Senior Tae Ji-hyuk came up to me and answered.
“Oh, of course. “What is the quantity?”
“Ten, please.”
“Are you going to use up all your points?”
“yes.”
Senior Tae Ji-hyuk looked at me with a curious expression upon hearing my words.
“why?”
“No, I’m just surprised that you answered without hesitation. “I usually don’t use up all the points I received the first time.”
At those words, I made an expression that I had made a mistake.
Point is, I knew that I could earn as much as I wanted in the future and that it was a good idea to invest now, so I bought it without hesitation, but I didn’t know that this would be a problem.
I answered while acting like I didn’t know.
“Oh, is that so?”
Senior Tae Ji-hyuk, who saw my expression, smiled and handed over 10 anti-fatigue pills. Seeing that, Da-bin Hwang and Selina also bought something.
“thank you!”
“Okay, see you later.”
As we left the cafeteria, the three of us had satisfied smiles on our faces as we were seen off by senior Tae Ji-hyuk.
10.
When I returned to the dormitory, Jeong Ju-won greeted me.
“Why are you coming now? “What did the lecture money hero say?”
In response to Jeong Ju-won’s question, I said indifferently.
“Uh, the Alchemy Guild said they would support me?”
“really? So what did you say?”
“I said I wouldn’t accept it,”
“what?! why? Are you kicking this great opportunity?”
I explained to Jeong Joo-won the same thing I explained to Da-bin Hwang and Selina during the day.
“It’s definitely a story with potential. “There may be a precedent.”
“Dunno. I’m not interested in being a hero or anything. I feel like I’m going to die in pain, but is that such a big deal? “I’m sleeping.”
“Uh, okay.”
If I continued like this, I felt like my dream-like rest time would be taken away by talking to Jeong Joo-won, so I pretended to sleep.
Of course, I wasn’t sleeping.
I was finally checking system messages that I had not been able to check during the day.
[I was physically attacked by an awakened person. Talent ‘transfer’ is activated. Receive the awakened talent. Talent ‘Yonginhwa’ is added to the slot.]
When I saw the system message, I felt a pain in my shoulder where Yunmir had stabbed me.
It hurt, but it felt as good as it hurt.
Because this was how I earned an extra life.
Of course, I was planning on not using it as much as possible in this episode.
‘In the second round, I used Yonginhwa to defeat Yunmir. Thanks to this, it was revealed that I had two talents.’
That’s how I became a talent that attracted the attention of all guilds.
It was because of the title of an awakened person with two talents.
Thanks to my two talents, I was able to become stronger faster than anyone else, but I also got caught up in a lot of troublesome things.
So, in this episode, I planned to reveal about ‘transfer’ as late as possible.
If I said that the more I get hit, the stronger I become, then no one would try to hit me.
In fact, during the second round, there was a guy who didn’t hit me and tried to kill me.
Therefore, I was planning to fill the seven slots through ‘transfer’ secretly like now.
To check my current status, I muttered ‘status window’ to myself.
Then my status window appeared.
[Lee Si-woo]
-Title: 3rd Returner (Possessor)
-Talent: Phantom Eye, +Transfer
-Grade: F grade, EX grade
-Characteristic: Quick judgment.
+Ability
+Intimacy
+Equipment
What is different from before is that a ‘+’ sign has been added to the transition.
When I pressed ‘+’, the transferred talents appeared.
[Transferred Talent](4/7)
-Buff (0/1): You can apply 3 types of buffs for 5 minutes.
-Hwaryeong (0/1): You can summon the ‘Spirit of Flame’ for 5 minutes.
-Diamond Buddha (0/1): When you hold your breath, your whole body can be turned into a Diamond Buddha.
-Yonginhwa (1/1): Can transform into Yongin for 5 minutes.
-Empty slots
-Empty slots
-Empty slots
Once acquired, talents are filled into slots like this.
All seven slots were full, and in order to acquire another talent, the existing talent had to be deleted.
‘There are still three left.’
I started thinking about what talents I should fill the remaining slots with.
It would be nice to get the ‘Alchemy’ talent, but you can’t ask the hero to beat you up, right?
In fact, one-time talent was enough to be tolerated.
Rather than a one-time talent, it would have been better to have talents that can be applied multiple times while staying together like Hwang Da-bin and Selina in the slot.
‘I often see people nearby who have talents that can be helpful when something happens at school in the future…’ … .’
It was good to acquire the talent of such a person.
There was someone who just came to mind.
A person who has repeatedly encouraged me to choose him as my personal instructor.
The next target was my homeroom teacher, teacher Kang Joo-hyuk.
