I Became a Mental Health Care Patient in the Apocalyptic Era

Episode 19-The value of a handkerchief

I asked myself out of momentary embarrassment, but thinking about it, Imari was originally that kind of woman.

The difficulty level of the academy’s written exam is extremely high.

Each subject has at least three killer problems, so it is impossible to get a perfect score unless you study very well.

There are two main ways to get a high score in an exam that cannot be achieved by general methods.

Raise your grades by studying hard, or raise your grades by cheating.

Surprisingly, both were standard.

There was no problem with cheating because it was all about getting a high grade in the written test anyway.

It’s not just from the gamer’s point of view, the academy doesn’t stop you from cheating.

‘You shouldn’t get caught instead.’

The way to study hard is difficult, but there is no penalty, and the way to cheat is easy, but the risk is high when caught.

In the case of Siu Han, Imari’s rival, she was on the side of telling her to hone her basic knowledge somehow, while Imari was the one who wanted to improve her score through her cheating.

“Anyway, if you can get a high score by cheating, there’s no need to spend time on the written test. Our time is limited. There’s no need to spend a lot of time on the written test, which is fine even if you get a moderately high score. Since it’s such an important content that it will come out as an exam, I won’t stop you if you study to understand the content itself, but I can’t help but think that it’s a waste of time.”

Here, Lee Mari and Han Siu have a different opinion.

While preparing for the written exam, Han Si-woo recommends improving his grades through studying because he will be able to follow the content perfectly, but Imari chooses to minimize time consumption through cheating.

Neither answer was wrong.

It’s just a matter of choosing different methods depending on your play style and goals.

“I want to improve my grades through studying.”

“Can I hear why our juniors think that way?”

I’ve been feeling it ever since, but the way Imari treated me and the way he treated Park Soo-hyun, the original protagonist, were quite different.

If it was Park Soo-hyun, at this timing, ‘What? Why do you want to go down such an inefficient path?’ Something like that should come out, but Imari is trying to listen to my story with a very serious expression.

‘Is it hard to deal with because it’s small? Or because of the eyes?’

“I have less than the other cadets. I have a weak body, no magical power, and no great abilities. I have no talent in weapon skills, and at least I have no talent in using guns, so this is a chance to meet a good teacher. I had no choice but to kick myself. I think the only chance for me to prove my abilities is the written test. I will definitely come in first place.”

At my reassuring words, Ima-Li nodded her head.

“If that’s what you think, I can’t help it… Wait.”

A cracking sound came from Imari’s temple.

“Don’t you think our juniors won’t be able to win first place with the correct answer I bring?”

If you don’t think so, why would you say you don’t cheat?

If you look at Imari’s cheat sheet and write down the correct answer, you can easily enter the 5th place, but you can’t get 1st place.

Because Imari is a person who cheated even when she was in first grade.

“It’s not like that, but I think I’ll be able to prove that I’m really good at winning first place on my own.”

In a situation where strong pressure was applied to the body just by being slightly upset, it was impossible to tell the truth as it was.

She nodded loudly when I said moderately nice things.

“Yes, proving yourself is also meaningful enough. If there is anything you don’t know, tell me and I will help you as much as I can.”

“Thank you, senior.”

“So, junior, is the lady who keeps looking at us over there a junior friend?”

I couldn’t see anything where Ima-Li pointed her finger.

“Why don’t you come out because you were caught? Do you think I won’t notice if you stand there openly, relying only on your abilities?”

As Lee Ma-ri picked up a leaf that had fallen on her floor and threw it away, Park Ji-soo appeared with a splatter of blood.

“Uh… How…”

“How did you know? Did I ever meet one or two people with stealth abilities? If I stay still, I don’t know. Isn’t it an idiot that I don’t notice if you follow me as I walk?”

Sorry. Because my junior is sick.

‘Somehow, I’ve never been seen before, so it must have been a stealth ability?’

“Who are you? Can you be my junior lover?”

“Ah… A lover! It’s not like that.”

She said that, but judging from the way she twisted her body, it seemed that she liked the term “Lover” That much.

‘But what to do with this? This person didn’t mention a lover to say that you and I look good together.’

“Then why are you following me? Oh, you’re a stalker?”

“Huh? A stalker!?”

“If you’re a friend, you should be able to stick around naturally. If you secretly follow me like that, will you only get more suspicions that you’re a stalker?”

Around the time Park Ji-soo’s expression was slowly rotting away, our sunbae-nim once blew a wonderful word.

“So, if you’re a friend, don’t distance yourself from being scared that a senior like me will stick by your side from now on. If you feel like this cute kid is being dragged by a really weird senior, you’ll have to protect him.”

Park Ji-soo’s face noticeably brightened at the words of Imari, who treated Park Ji-soo as my friend.

‘It’s so easy to understand.’

“Then I’ll go back to study.”

“Are you really not going to eat?”

“Even though I want to eat, I can’t. I didn’t apply at all?”

“Talk over meals together is the secret of mentors and mentees… Okay. I’m not a scary person, so feel free to come visit me anytime.”

Ima-Li shook her hand and disappeared.

“I think that senior is a really good senior.”

Since he said nice things to you, he must be a good senior.

I looked at the right cheek of Park Ji-soo, who was looking at the place where Imari had disappeared with a hesitant smile.

It was only a leaf brushing through her, but she was so strong that she had a wound that seemed to have been cut with her cutter knife.

“Hey, hang your head for a second.”

“Huh?”

I wanted to keep quiet, but with my height, I couldn’t even touch Park Ji-soo’s cheek, so I said while flicking her hand.

“What’s wrong?”

-Sueuk

“Be careful not to scar yourself.”

After she wiped her cheeks with a handkerchief she returned to her class.

– Boom!

She put her handkerchief in her pocket behind the sound of something exploding.

************

A handkerchief is a very rare item.

There were many times when I could use it with a great impact once I carried it around.

Just as I wrote to Park Ji-soo, simply wiping the wound with a handkerchief can supplement the feeling of excitement to a character I already have a crush on, and depending on the situation, it can be used in the direction of continuing a relationship by spilling it on the ground. You can also wet it with water and place it on your forehead.

The reason why this handkerchief is such a good item that it is given the name “Wonso” Isn’t just because it has excellent effects.

The item called the handkerchief was too easy to obtain compared to the value I had, and it was very comfortable to wear.

You don’t have to worry about space just by putting it in your pocket, and you can find a usable handkerchief if you wash it properly even if you search around the nearby clothing box.

Washing can be done in the academy bathroom, so it couldn’t be easier to obtain.

Such a rare item, a handkerchief, was now held by Lee Seo-yeon.

“Awesome…”

My little handkerchief got dirty with the sound of blowing my nose.

It is said that you can wash it, but the feeling of having your things soiled by someone else’s filth was never pleasant.

‘I thought you borrowed a handkerchief to soothe and wipe away tears…’

I didn’t know how to blow my nose with other people’s things.

As I was looking at her with a puzzled look on her face, she looked down at me while wiping away her tears that hadn’t even flowed.

“Aww, sorry. My nose suddenly got really stuffy and I messed up with your handkerchief.”

Lee Seo-yeon’s tone was somehow stiff.

Of course, it was natural for her to feel sorry for blowing her nose with someone else’s handkerchief, but for some reason, I felt that it was contrived.

“No. You can use it after washing it.”

“I can’t because I’m sorry. If you don’t have great memories with this handkerchief, I’ll throw it away and give you another handkerchief as a gift.”

I think he has a bit of a brain freeze?

The poker face did not lessen the awkwardness of the well-maintained tone.

“No. I’ll just suck it up and use it.”

“I’m sorry! Don’t worry, I’ll definitely buy you a new one.”

I couldn’t help but nod my head at her eyes, saying that I should take the handkerchief unconditionally.

‘Is it profitable to exchange an old handkerchief for a new one?’
