The Possessor Has No Desire To Be a Protagonist

057. Final exam season (2)

Sepia, who suddenly remembered something, parted her lips. It was something I really wanted to check out.

“Hey Vivian, but I have a question… .”

“Yes, you can.”

“Isn’t it showing off too much by acting like this?”

Sepia, who has a strong sense of self-esteem, was displeased with that part. Because if I loved you more, I felt like I was losing somehow.

“The book says that if you don’t show it, you won’t notice your emotions.”

“Um… . That, is it?”

“It is written in the book that women should appeal to men as much as they like. Only then will the man gain courage and confess… .”

Vivian answered in a monotonous tone reading a book.

“But I’m really curious, so why don’t you confess to the woman first?”

Vivian closed the book with a click. He looked like a well-informed professor.

“Available. but… .”

“but?”

“From Ethan’s point of view, I think that if you reach out your hand first, your pride will be hurt.”

“ah… .”

It was a gentle nod of the head. Ethan tried to get a diploma from the academy in order to be in the same position as himself.

Confessing to him first was tantamount to asking him to come to me because I would feed you.

‘Because of Ethan’s pride, he refused even if I offered him a salary increase.’

“Then, let’s end today’s lesson here.”

“Yeah, thank you Vivian! Tomorrow I will try what I learned today.”

Sepia nodded her head while burning her fighting spirit. Somehow, I was already excited.

the next day.

Sepia was anxiously waiting for Ethan in the club room. According to the ＜Edan Behavior Report＞ organized by Vivian, it was time for Ethan to find a club room.

“Wow, Ethan, your hands are bigger than I thought. Let’s compare.”

Sepia practiced the lines she recited yesterday. With the feeling of having a final rehearsal.

And according to the report, Ethan acted. Sepia’s muttering stopped at the door that suddenly opened.

“what are you doing? Are you muttering to yourself?”

“Ah oh? yes nothing.”

Sepia replied in a calm tone.

“But what are you doing in the club room at this time?”

“just. Well, I think you’ll do well if you study here.”

“Well, actually, the final exams were just around the corner.”

Ethan sat down on the sofa and opened a book. Sepia glanced at Ethan as she measured the timing.

“Hey, Ethan… . Are your hands big?”

“uh? hand? suddenly?”

“No, it’s just new. hold my hand… .”

Just then, the door burst open and Anya stormed in.

“Oh! Hello everyone?”

Thanks to that, the eyes of the two naturally flowed to Anya.

“Ethan! Let me hang out with Rien one more time.”

“no.”

“Do it, do it. Do it. Let me stick with you just once.”

Anya sang in groups, almost singing. Sepia’s eyes moved to Anya. My teeth were grinding.

‘That savage is ignorant again!’

Anya didn’t care about Sepia’s gaze. No, it seemed like he didn’t even notice.

“no.”

“Huh… . Then, when are you going to let me join you?”

“It wouldn’t mean much if we joined now anyway, but wouldn’t it be better to build up some skills and come back?”

Anya touched her chin and was lost in thought.

“Um, is that so too? great. Then I’ll come back with a little bit of skill during the vacation.”

Anya nodded and sat down on the sofa. Sepia hadn’t heard or seen the news that Anya was looking for a club room at this time.

The club room was quiet again.

“Ah, but what did Sepia say?”

“uh? Ah, Ethan’s hands are a bit big.”

“is it?”

Ethan was puzzled as he stared at his hand. Sepia spoke without missing the timing.

“Let’s compare hands.”

“uh? hand?”

“Wait, give me your hand.”

Sepia naturally took Ethan’s hand and compared the size of his hand. As I remembered, Ethan’s hands were rough, but large and warm.

“Wow, Ethan’s hands are big! Compare me too.”

Of course, it was an unexpected result for Anya to intervene.

Anya also joined hands with Ethan.

“Wow! I have really big hands. I’m pretty big too. Let’s compare our hands with Sepia’s.”

Sepia forced a smile as she reluctantly bit this. Soon after, Arthur and Tia came to the club room.

“What are the three of you doing?”

“Ah, I was comparing hand sizes!”

Anya smiled and replied.

“uh? Whose hands were the biggest?”

“Yes, it was Ethan.”

Arthur was also intrigued and started comparing hand sizes with the others as if for play.

* * *

“Anya, you damn bitch! damn year! Damn bitch!”

Sepia whined and kicked the bed. No matter how much I thought about it, I got angry.

I didn’t like Anya from the moment we met in the carriage.

Besides, when I tried to ask Ethan to take me, everyone left the club room together, so we had to walk around the campus together.

“miss. calm down.”

“I look calm now. Ugh.”

I tried to joke around with skinship naturally by comparing the size of my hands, but it was already over. It was a method that could not be rewritten.

“It’s all because of Anya.”

“But I think I learned a good lesson.”

“Good learning?”

“Yes, I learned the realization that, for example, you shouldn’t conduct operations in the presence of other people.”

That was true when you heard it.

Vivian skillfully began to soothe the young lady.

“My lady, there are still many other good ways.”

“Another good way?”

“Yes, girls still have more than a dozen natural ways to be close.”

“what is that?”

Sepia raised her head from the bed and cast her gaze. Vivian was smiling meaningfully.

“Are you curious?”

“What? tell me quickly.”

“Once you finish studying for today, I will let you know. It’s the final exam period.”

Vivian set today’s assignment down on the table with a thud.

* * *

It’s been a week since today.

I had been studying all night in the library with Arthur for a week. It really looks like some sort of military all-night training period.

No matter how much the final exam is conducted mainly on practical skills, writing was not excluded at all.

Thanks to that, I lived with coffee in my mouth for the past week.

“Vacation. I need a vacation.”

I put my head on the desk. My gaze naturally turned to the information desk.

And I met eyes with Tesha, who was working part-time.

He doesn’t study separately, but he seems to be getting good grades. Tesha shyly avoided my gaze.

Shame on you. majo princess.

Because you’ve been yelling so much

He was probably agonizing hard about what his s*xual orientation was right now.

“Ethan, did you hear that the survival team announcement is coming out this afternoon?”

“Ah, yes, I heard about it.”

I stood up at Arthur’s words.

It was time for a notice to appear on the bulletin board.

“Arthur, let’s go check the notice board.”

So we checked the notice.

Let’s see. I skimmed the message board looking for my teammates.

―Tia, Anya, Ethan

It seemed like a pretty good combination.

Anya is the tank, I deal damage, and Tia deals damage.

It wasn’t like there was no team luck at all.

On the other hand, what about Arthur’s team?

—Arthur, Reus, Sonny.

The moment I saw it, I was blown away.

No, this is the ultimate dream team.

All combinations were melee dealers, but in terms of power alone, they were the strongest.

Overall, the way Arthur’s team works is that Reus takes over as the leader, and Arthur and Sonny act as the combatants.

‘I’m looking forward to this final exam.’

Suddenly, I remembered what Reus had said.

‘Achilles, he will come to attack our team to die. Then, I have to stick with Arthur.’

If he faces Reus, it will probably not be an easy fight.

To the point where it would be more convenient to solo a boss-type monster raid.

I skimmed through the notice.

At this point, it was necessary to check the composition of the other team members.

Sepia was a team with Tesha and Raynel.

Raynell.

He wasn’t a particularly important character in the novel, but I remember him mainly handling bows.

Midterm exam grades are average.

Sepia and Tesha are also a pretty good team.

I felt the need to have a talk with Reynel.

anyway.

The period for writing the final exams passed just fine. His written grades would have been decent as well. I believe so.

Then the practical exam period followed.

All first-year cadets were each given a necklace.

A necklace was an element that determined an individual’s success or failure.

and.

If the entire team loses their necklaces, the team is eventually eliminated.

Conversely, if even one person survives, the team is considered alive.

“Anyway, the battle for the necklace will begin an hour from now. As announced, it will be held for 2 days and 1 night, so in the meantime, put your team’s survival first. However, the more necklaces you collect, the more points you get. Don’t forget that.”

After the long and lengthy explanation of Raf Terberg, each of them was given time to move to the place they wanted.

We had to come up with a strategy for each team within an hour and act together for two days and one night.

The test site is the entire northern forest area of the academy.

The northern forest was wider than I thought, so I could encounter monsters, and I had to find food and drinking water on my own.

It’s like Nadia Academy that nurtures strong candidates.

Of course, it wasn’t that there were no safety devices at all.

Professors and guards were deployed throughout the forest to act as security guards and act as mediators when the fighting escalated.

And there was also a personal potion that you could drink if you were eliminated.

‘Still, he’ll start a fight with the momentum to kill Achilles.’

He might really stab me with a spear and kill me.

Even though it’s an academy, it tends to dismiss injuries and casualties incurred during battle as unavoidable.

“Ethan, we’re on the same team this time… .”

Tia, who was by his side, was so lucky.

“Why do you hate being on the same team as me?”

“yes? That’s not it. When did I say no?”

Tia tickled at my playful tone.

“By the way, Ethan, so what about the strategy?”

Anya asked with a large hammer slung over her shoulder.

I confided in the plan I had set up. At my words, Anya widened her eyes.

“Is that possible?”

I smiled meaningfully and nodded.

Yes, the name of this operation is Achilles Squeeze.

If that happens, the spectator gods will probably have a great party.

A smile was drawn on his lips.
