chapter 24
24 – Mentor (2)
“What can I do… Look how excited the ranking results are!”
“I had a time like that too…”
“You didn’t even sleep last night because the rankings were changing today…”
“Be quiet! Don’t break the mood!”
As I walked out into the hallway, I heard the whispering voices of seniors.
You have to make a good first impression here.
It’s quite an official behavior, but.
After the timing now, it is the same ‘1st year’ for seniors in the 2nd year.
The kid you talked to in that hallway like this before?
Even if you give a good impression, you can start in a different position than others.
Of course, since the ranking is 1st, it will be a free pass anywhere.
Being a person with good sociability is a different matter than skill.
Large.
“…Hello seniors?”
Open the door and step out into the hallway.
The seniors look at each other with interesting eyes.
“What?”
“Looks like you’re in first grade?”
“Ah come out..! Let me see you.”
“Hey, he’s handsome… kuck!”
“Who’s that bastard who just slapped his jaw!”
… I only saw about 10 people in the classroom, but there are more when they actually come out.
Only one or two representatives from the team would have come.
It seems that everyone first came to class A to publicize.
“… For what purpose did you come to Class A?”
The senior Dwarf man standing in front opened his mouth.
“hehehe. Why do you think you came?”
… To be honest, due to the nature of dwarves, they are short and look like children.
Still, he seems to enjoy being a senior, so let’s match the rhythm.
“… The fact that the seniors came to visit us rather than us must have something to do with us.”
“Oh. Are you good at it?”
The dwarf senior smiled brightly and patted my shoulder.
…Although he is on tiptoe because his arms can’t reach his shoulders.
“What is your name?”
“Laiyo.”
“Hmm.. It’s called Rai.. We are”
It was then.
“Huh? Junior!!”
A loud voice came from somewhere.
Looking at me from a little far away.
The red-haired senior who bullied me until this morning.
‘Ah.. This is a variable.’
When I realized that they were acquaintances, the seniors got out of the way.
“You were in class A, junior!! It’s better than you think. I honestly thought you were a little weak!”
“…Isn’t that too frank?”
“Still, that’s great! What about your position? I think it would be nice to do it between acquaintances!”
I feel pretty shameless, but this is what I’m doing well.
On the contrary, if you get a good score in the exam by being a little shameless, it’s a surplus business.
Let’s finish the senior’s words. She sends a look of restraint from those around her.
Looking at you as if you were already starting work.
The female senior crossed her arms as if to clearly appeal to her relationship.
“What. We’re not even close… Right?”
… What is it?
“Quit…”
A quiet voice flows from the surroundings.
At least, if you are a student in class A, there is a high probability that you will have a high score among first-year students.
This practice gives first graders a little extra points and
There is an advantage to gaining practical experience.
First-year students who are not yet accustomed to the real world don’t want to go out easily.
That’s why everyone is on edge to acquire good talent.
As the senior came close to me, she said stickyly.
“Huh? Right?”
‘You shouldn’t do this here…’
It was then.
“Wait. Isn’t it against the beauty world?”
A senior elf wearing glasses that look somewhat stiff.
In this world, wearing glasses is not for sight, but for translation magic.
That means there are a lot of things to read books of various tribes.
That would mean that you are a knowledgeable person as much as you like books.
The senior with folded arms quietly opened his mouth.
“Why? Is Serpina not confident? Ah…She deserves it..”
… Her senpai’s eyes turned to the elven senpai’s chest.
A battle of nerves among women who are choking.
‘I hope it’s not like this.’
“… You.”
“Stop.”
A man’s voice can be heard just as the air is about to overheat.
When she turned her head, what she saw was a warm-looking senior vampire.
“Your juniors might be in trouble. I haven’t given an accurate explanation yet.”
Sheesh.
The red-haired senior naturally drifts away.
“Hello. My name is Carla. Your name was Lay, right?”
Kaela.
A huge tycoon has arrived.
‘Merveus di Caela.’
Clean-cut black hair and mature red eyes.
Looks luxurious to anyone.
If I remember correctly, this man.
He is the prince of the vampire kingdom.
The younger sister of the current queen.
In other words, it is the blood and blood of the master that Adela serves.
Senior Kaela opened her mouth.
“Ah. You don’t have to be too burdened. Because this is the academy.”
I must have thought that I, who was absent-minded, felt burdened by the name of the royal family.
Your heart is as handsome as your face.
I feel uncomfortable because I feel like I’m looking at my mother…
“… I don’t know what it is, but I’m willing to participate. Experience isn’t something you can easily gain.”
At my answer, Kaela-senpai smiled and opened her mouth.
“I see. All right. Then let’s discuss it carefully so as not to be too forceful.”
Huh?
No, you’re just going like this?
There’s no way Kayla, who has a good personality, would pass by so easily.
…Aha.
You’re strong.
His older sister.
In other words, a human from ‘Earth’ who became a member of the Vampire Queen’s household.
That man is now recruiting Seong Jin-ha.
There is no doubt that he went directly to the first grade classroom.
The red-haired senior approached me slowly again.
“So? What’s the position like?”
“… Rearguard.”
“Oh nice! I’m in the front this time. The same team members are the production and the tactics!”
“Ah. Yes…”
I see.
“Good! Junior Lai! Do you want to join our team?”
The red-haired senior naturally put her on the shoulder.
It’s getting scary now…
I don’t even know what members are on the team.
Let’s look around.
“..I don’t know the details. I’ll review it positively. Senior.”
It’s been a long time since I said something similar to this. Let’s have a meal later. There is
“Hmm… Well, that’ll be fine. Call me by name more comfortably than that.”
“Oh.”
It’s a big deal..
I can’t remember the name…
Honestly, at first when I was crazy
I can’t remember because I heard it once and only called him senior.
“… Junior?”
When I didn’t answer, I heard teasing voices from around me.
“Your junior doesn’t know your name?”
“You weren’t the only one who was close, Erica?”
Ah.
It was Erica.
“… Ah. Erika-senpai. I was so embarrassed that my brain froze for a moment.”
“…I don’t think so.”
What happened?
Senior Erica continued with a spiteful expression.
“…So, what’s your junior rank?”
… Can I say this?
The gaze around me stings.
It’s just that everyone didn’t say anything, but it seemed like they were quite concerned.
“First of all, this ranking is number one.”
“I see! First place… It’s a little disappointing, but what… What?”
This human.
I must have not really expected one.
Of course, if you just look at the physical fitness room, you might see it that way.
What answer comes out like a macro?
“Really?”
“Yes. Really.”
They showed the ranking information by manipulating the smart watch.
The number ‘1’ embedded in the hologram window.
After a bit of silence.
“Lay Junior! My name is Erham, but if you come to our team…!”
“Hey, that’s your rearguard! Their positions overlap!”
“I can go as assistant!!”
In an instant, the seniors rushed in.
No wait…
A moment when he is about to be swept away by a wave of excited seniors.
“…What are you doing?”
The savior on the stairs.
Professor Bergen came down to mediate the situation.
While Professor Bergen is talking to his seniors.
I hurried into the classroom.
“…What happened?”
I am breaking out in a cold sweat.
Let’s go ahead and take some face stamps.
I went out because I wanted to go to the party I wanted, but…
Soon.
Professor Bergen came in and gave a brief explanation about the sophomore mentor test.
Seniors of the second year came in one by one and began to explain in detail about the practice.
The party for this practice consists of 3 2nd graders and 2 1st graders.
The purpose of this practice is to raise the level of the first year by teaching the second year to the first year.
The second year is an opportunity to organize themselves by teaching the first year their own knowledge.
It’s wordy, but it’s just a sophomore taking care of the first year’s studies.
It just turns into a real fight called ‘battle’.
After the explanation, the sophomores started promoting their team.
Some teams have promoted their excellence by promoting their team’s average ranking.
Some teams also appealed for the convenience of their artifacts and training venues.
Location.
Ah, that’s right.
Come to think of it.
The practice location for the sophomores is different for each team.
Because it is a form of dispatching to different gate locations.
If it is not the team that ‘Sung Jin-ha’ belongs to in the original work, it is not a place I know.
It will be difficult to be on the same team as Seong Jin-ha, so I will naturally have to give up this opportunity.
‘Well… It’s not that important.’
And…
“Hi guys! Our team…!”
Senior Erika promotes with her unique friendliness as her weapon.
Because it was a second year that could be somewhat unfamiliar or burdensome.
That was also an effective strategy.
That’s how Erika-senpai wrote down her contact information before leaving.
She stared at me quietly. She exited with a smile.
“…”
I think I got my nose pierced…
And the turn of the prince’s party, which I originally wanted to go to.
“The place our party will be going is Keiran Gorge.
The party is the rearguard. Assistant. It consists of tactics. And the vanguard…”
Kaela’s eyes are on Seong Jin-ha.
I’m so tired that everyone can notice. For a long time.
“It would be really nice if a specific student took over. So, first of all, I’m going to prioritize selecting students from the production department.”
…
It’s explicit.
Lastly, the prince’s party, which was almost like a scout for Seong Jin-ha, was completed.
The 2nd year seniors moved to class B.
“Whew..”
“… What are you going to do?”
Selina looked at me with a slightly dissatisfied expression.
Selina and I have overlapping positions.
It’s safe to say that the chances of being in the same party are slim.
‘I’ll have to give you a tidbit.’
“.. It’s unfortunate. The positions overlap.”
“…Don’t say anything you don’t mean to say. Don’t regret it at all.”
…Confused.
“Huh? What?”
“Ha… You didn’t mean to do that, right? You must be really angry.”
No. Did you speak straight?
… There are things I deliberately ignore.
Selina opened her eyes and opened her mouth.
“So which party are you going to?”
“Well. I’ll have to watch the situation first… There were quite a few parties that needed a rearguard.”
If it was my ranking, it would be a free pass no matter where I applied.
One regrettable thing is that I was going to go to Seong Jin-ha’s party and eat together.
There was already a rear guard at Kayla-senpai’s party.
… I’m sorry but I can’t help it.
Any good seniors who have a lot to learn from.
You should judge by looking at the rest of the first year party members.
Anyway, there is only one week left.
..
..
Just like that, the next morning.
As always, I get up early in the morning and after running in the gymnasium.
I went to the gym.
And.
“Why… didn’t you contact me?”
I don’t know how long I’ve been here.
With her eyes wide open, she found Erika-senpai squatting in front of her automatic door.
… What a surprise.
“We still have a week left. Do some thinking…”
“Saenggaak…?”
No, people are so reckless.
The senior glared at her with her slightly open eyes.
After a while, I started crying with a quality that anyone could see that it was acting.
“My junior is too much! Every day, I wholeheartedly help my juniors exercise like this!”
… I never asked for help.
Anyone can see that they do it because they like it, but…
Still, you are right.
It’s true that he watches my workout every day.
Hmm…
I still don’t like going in….
After thinking about it, I opened my mouth.
“Senior. Then let’s do this.”
“Huh? What is it? I’ll fix everything for you!”
.. Even with the bean pods covered, it seems to have been properly used.
“Are there any leftover first-year seats at the seniors’ party?”
“Yeah. Since you’re the rearguard, the only thing left after you come in is… An assistant position!”
Auxiliary seat.
If possible, it would be better to go with an outstanding student.
It’s better if you’re friendly with me.
And I.
I already know someone who fits the criteria.
