Chapter 46
Translator: True Detective
Chapter 46 - How to Adapt to a New Environment (8)
Anyway… Time passed, and during my spare time during training, I checked out the parts in which I appeared.
It didn’t feel very good.
[Episode 34 Appearance Part]
I sat next to Kang Nahyun and looked at her face.
An NPC that I thought was a likable character because she spoke easy words, was pure, and trusted people well.
That’s why I treated her as a pawn to use in theearly days.
‘That kind of character’. Because I decided that way.
This is a reality where people can die, and a reality where there are people in whose bodies red blood flows, so I don’t even know how lucky I was that someone like Nahyun approached me.
Without even knowing it, I was excited and thought everything was going according to my plan, but I got caught up in unexpected variables. Moreover, I let my guard down thinking we had cleared the gate and almost lost my life.
It wasn’t until Kang Nahyun, who sacrificed herself for me, almost died shedding her blood, that I realized that this was a reality.
You stupid bastard.
If someone other than me had possessed this body, realizing earlier that this world wasn’t a game but vivid reality, and if they had been with you, wouldn’t you have been hurt?
Those thoughts were the only thoughts floating around in my head.
You might have done better if the person possessed wasn’t me.
Because I’m just a pathetic bastard who only has a lot of knowledge about games.
What should I say when Kang Nahyun wakes up?
When I asked him why she saved me and why she trusted me so much and followed me, I was afraid of the answer I would get.
All kinds of despairing thoughts swirled in my head. I could hardly forget the moment when her blood splashed out and the moment when her body collapsed. It felt like Kang Nahyun’s blood was still on my hands.
The next day, when I went to visit Kang Nahyun, she was awake.
A feeling of relief enveloped my whole body, followed by a feeling of fear.
It was after some time that I was able to open my heavy mouth.
“Why were you attacked instead of me then?”
“Because Yuhan is a precious person to me.”
“…Why?”
“What do you mean why?”
“I’m not worth it.”
I’m just an ordinary human being who is crazy about one game.
And a scum who used and manipulated others by thinking of reality as a game. That’s me.
At that time, Kang Nahyun smiled and gently held my hand.
“You’re worth it.”
She was smiling brightly as always.
“Because Yuhan is a wonderful person who guided me and treated me kindly when I first met you.”
“That…”
That was to use you.
The words never came out. I’m afraid that this great affection I’m receiving now will disappear.
“Sorry. I’ll be going.”
So I left the hospital room as if running away. Because until now, I have never had the courage to see your face.
Nevertheless, I am so happy about the unchanging affection that I don’t want to give up.
That’s why—let’s start again.
“Hi…, Nahyun.”
My relationship with you.
I quietly opened my shriveled hands.
…Could it be that I shouldn’t have comforted him back then? Did I just have to let out my true feelings?
It was a realization that was too late.

ㅇㅇ
The main character finally awakens?
ㅇㅇ
Kang Nahyun female lead confirmed hahaha all other stocks have been delisted, right? It’s ruined, right?
> ㅇㅇ
F*ck you don’t know yet!!!
> ㅇㅇ
Yeah, it’s ruined~
ㅇㅇ
In Academic genres, harem is the truth…
> ㅇㅇ
From now on, pure love is the truth.
ㅇㅇ
pure love wins
I want to reject that pure love.
I tried to overcome the feeling of wanting to hit my head and pass out and watched the next episode.
[Episode 35 Appearance Part]
I decided to stop carelessly patting her head. She’s not just a character or a pet.
Do you just realize that now?
After somehow getting used to it, she stopped stroking me.
I was concerned about something related to Park Yoola, so I asked around, and they said it was fine, but then spoke, “Now that I think about it…” … ’ and told me about an incident in which the laboratory was in ruins.
I’m glad Lee Hana solved it.
In any case, I planned to negotiate after threatening to tell people that Park Yoola was a half-blood vampire.
Come to your senses. Are you planning to turn Park Yoola into an enemy? He got rotten and didn’t even know to do anything.
On the day of class formation, Nahyun held my hand first.
I’m glad we’re in the same class A. It was quite satisfying.
However, as soon as I arrived at class, a female student quickly approached Nahyun, glaring at her.
…That appearance… It’s Shin Baran.
And then she declared war on Nahyun and disappeared.
Is it jealousy? She’s bothering her because of Na Yuri.
Nahyun dragged me to the seat behind.
“Let’s sit together!”
I had no particular reason to refuse. I ignored Na Yu-ri’s glare.
Then Yggdrasil appeared, and we started morning classes.
As expected, no, it was harder than expected.
I sat down blankly and thought.
Still, this is the only way for me to get even a little better.
“Yuhan, are you okay?”
At that time, Nahyeon handed me a stamina recovery potion.
“…Yeah.”
When I saw that, I decided to try harder again.
And as the morning class was coming to an end, Nahyun requested a conversation. What’s going on?
“What’s going on these days? You look listless. Everyone is worried.”
“I just realized I was stupid.”
You stupid bastard.
At that time, Nahyeon tilted her head and said.
“Why is Yuhan stupid? You’re good at commanding, you know the treasure dungeon well, and…”
It hurts. That was simply obtained through the means of a game.
“That’s not my skill. It’s just… something anyone can do if they have the information.”
If anyone at this Academy had any knowledge of the game, they would have gotten through it much better than I did.
“I mistakenly thought that I was good and acted like I was the main character, and now I just woke up from a dream.”
It’s really just that the illusion that I’m the main character of this world has been shattered.
Nahyun, who was silent for a moment, smiled softly and spoke.
“Knowing it so well isn’t something that just anyone can do.”
“…”
“You know, it takes a lot of effort to dig deep into one thing like Yuhan.”
That the effort I put into the game was worth it,
“And not everyone can make that level of effort. I received a lot of help thanks to the knowledge Yuhan gained through your efforts.”
You said because of that,
“So, my main character isn’t anyone else, but you here.”
I could be your main character…
“Yeah. Maybe there is someone else who can replace you as you say.”
I took a breath.
But I think I was able to grow like this because you, Yuhan, and no one else, were here. Thanks to you, I’m here.”
Otherwise,
“See. Isn’t that great enough?”
I feel like crying.
In the end, I couldn’t hold it in and cried.
Nahyun wiped my face with a handkerchief.
“I-I’m… someone who’s more pathetic than you think.”
“But what Yuhan did for me doesn’t disappear. Even if Yuhan can’t do anything, I will still like you.”
Because the tears couldn’t stop,
“…I’m sorry, thank you.”
I could only say those two words.
Oh, so the psychotherapy was successful…
I calmly turned off the part with dead eyes and checked the reader’s reaction.

ㅇㅇ
As expected, a faithful heroine
ㅇㅇ
Kang Nahyun! Kang Nahyun! Kang Nahyun!
ㅇㅇ
Let’s just go with pure love, right, author?
> ㅇㅇ
Ugh, Academy genres should be harem.
I’m going crazy.
I sighed at this crazy situation and looked at the next episodes.
There wasn’t anything special, but there was something that stood out in episode 36.
[Episode 36 Appearance Part]
“Why is everyone suddenly bringing dessert?”
Is it as expected, she doesn’t know anything, I wonder.
This situation needs attention, so I decided to tell her.
“It’s for a bribe.”
“For a bribe?”
“Our homeroom teacher is crazy about desserts~. And there is a famous rumor in the Academy~”
“‘If you bribe Miss Yggdrasil, she will make your training easier.’”
“Yeah. Yggdrasil is willing to accept most conveniences if you pay a bribe. This is especially true when it comes to training. But if possible, it’s better not to do that. Becauseㅡ”
The moment I was about to say something—
Bang—!
Yggdrasil has invaded.
She did that on purpose. Just like an old monster with great ears. Does she want to test us in a pure state?
Fortunately, Nahyun didn’t seem to have any intention of paying a bribe, so I was relieved.
Yggdrasil, did she intentionally interrupt us then?
It was a shocking fact.
< Comment
ㅇㅇ
I came here after hearing that it was an Academy pure love.
> ㅇㅇ
Ah, I told there is still a harem possibility;;;
> ㅇㅇ
It’s late, old man
The comments were nothing special.
I felt sad that comments like this were no longer considered a big deal.
[Episode 40 Appearance Part]
Episodes before episode 40 were about training.
In the meantime, this kid was thinking about me. How scary. Just stop.
Around episode 40, I briefly watched only content I hadn’t seen before.
The morning I brought the dessert box, Nahyun looked bewildered, then shook her head and showed that she trusted me.
How cute.
And when the time came, I headed to Yggdrasil with Nahyun.
Yggdrasil said, her face frownin.
“Are you trying to give up?”
“No. I’m asking for help.”
I handed out dessert.
We have built enough trust, so this will be enough.
I spoke out the words I had prepared.
“Please introduce us to the world’s best meister.”
As soon as she heard those words, Yggdrasil opened her eyes wide and laughed heartily.
Success!
I grinned.
So I successfully got the introduction from Yggdrasil and came out with Nahyeon.
“That’s amazing, Yuhan! You seem like a really great negotiator!”
… I just used what I knew.
“The meister our homeroom teacher will introduce probably won’t take money, but if they ask for money, I’ll also contribute.”
Na Yuhan’s money is rotting.
“If they do, how much is the expected cost…?”
“That person’s ransom isn’t a joke, so if they get paid, it’s probably… About 10 billion lump sum payments? Guns are difficult to manufacture, so the unit price may rise further.”
“Gasp…”
Nahyun looked horrified and spoke with difficulty.
“Yuhan, if I have to pay for the weapon, could you lend me some money…? I will repay you in installments.”
“What… Why?”
Nahyun said, holding my hand with a determined expression.
“I will definitely pay you back.”
“Uh… alright.”
It’s warm. I thought while looking at the hand she was holding in a daze.
This is why it’s bourgeois! This is why it’s bourgeois!
I was angry at Na Yuhan’s thoughtless spending again.
…Oops, I was spirited. Let’s calm down.
I calmly turned off the meta system.
First of all, what can I do now? Nothing. I have no choice but to maintain the status quo.
I can earn a lot of points, so it’s g-good… is it?
…Let’s practice for the battle tournament.
I sighed and adjusted my gun.
***
And finally, as time passed,
<Let’s begin! Guardian Academy Battle Tournament!>
The day of Guardian Academy’s team battle tournament has arrived.
