chapter 2
002. I’m sorry, Alice, but let’s use yours
The management team of Velvet School Life is an asshole.
This is an unchanging and eternal truth.
But for now, I want to honestly praise you.
Yuha Jin In the moment when there was no gacha at the start
These goods the operator gave me were more valuable than the oasis I met in the desert.
I tried to calm my pounding heart and looked over the list.
These items are placed in front of you.
These were all things I prepared for Alice.
As a light user, I barely paid anything other than the monthly fee.
The first and last time I went back to the illustration, I opened my wallet and picked out expensive items.
“These are all specialized swordsmanship items.”
Because the pre-released Alice came out as a character who uses a sword, all the goods she stocked up are specialized in swordsmanship.
And Jin Yuha.
Although this guy I possessed has an E grade in swordsmanship, he is a character who came out as ‘specialized in swordsmanship’.
Sure.
This means that even if Jin Yu-ha eats the goods prepared for Alice, the direction itself will not change!
“…… Efficiency will drop like a dog.”
Born 5 stars, born 1 star.
From the start line is the king and the common people.
Honestly, if you only think about clearing the game in the final chapter, Alice should eat all of these.
But, if I don’t eat this, I’m going to clear it and I look like I’m falling behind?
The conflict was brief.
Because this is not a ‘mobile game’ where you can operate by tapping your finger outside the screen, but a ‘reality’ where you have to jump and roll with your body.
Among the enemies I have to deal with while attending the Velvet Academy, there are devils and demons who treat human lives as garbage.
Even life is one coin.
“I’m sorry, Alice. Let me use yours.”
I apologized to Alice and rummaged through the box.
“First of all, swordsmanship books, strengthening books, character recommendation letters, skill recommendation letters, and overall stat increase coupons. Let me eat all of this And moonlight is also written by me—. The equipment……. Oh, it’s all for women. Yes, I will leave this for you, Alice.”
Even if I tried to eat all of them, there were quite a few things that I couldn’t use because of the different genders.
This was originally meant to be given to Alice, so if we meet later, give it to her.
It is absolutely not a random process.
“Umm, these moonlight earrings… …. Can a man wear earrings?”
Originally, in the world, I’ve seen things done by people who like to decorate and celebrities.
I don’t know how it will look in the world of gender reversal.
“Well, I have to do it. This is also an item that provides efficient swordsmanship skills.”
I took out my earrings and kept them.
And then, an hour later.
I was born again.
* * *
In the bathroom mirror, there was a man who had changed significantly.
You seem to be a bit taller, and your body, which was originally skinny, has become solid.
Now it gives off a strong feeling.
If there was only a sickly and decadent feeling before, now it is a bad boy feeling with wildness added.
Since you have a handsome face, feminine earrings look good on you.
I pulled out the moonlight that was wrapped around my waist for no reason.
Sereung─
“It’s crazy.”
A pale bluish blade and a white handle.
You can feel the sharpness of the blue blade just by looking at it.
Originally, it was unique, but it has been applied even to weapon strengthening, and it is a sword that has risen to the legendary level.
Good!
I put the sword back on my waist and shouted.
That word.
“Status window.”

───────────
A sense of exhilaration that wraps around the whole body.
“Khehehe… ….”
A villain-like laugh comes out of his mouth.
Who the hell would call this a status window for a 1-star character?
Specialization that determines a character’s performance.
The swordsmanship rank, which was E, took S!
There are only three steps left.
SS, SSS and EX.
Originally, if you don’t go through training and then jump up, the lower ranks go faster.
You can jump two levels from E-class to C-class even if you use only one top-level swordsmanship.
Of course, if Alice had eaten, it would have been enough to film EX.
Since Jin Yuha ate, she stopped at S.
But where is this?
The difference between E-class and S-class is really big.
It’s a whopping 6 steps difference.
Thanks to that, didn’t a plausible modifier, ‘Sword Demon’, besides the stupid title like ‘Kok on the Cliff’ have been created?
In addition, the stats quickly changed from a single-digit mite to the profound 50s.
The results of the random skill recommendation and characteristic recommendation were ordinary, but not bad.
“Excluding the specialized S, my specs are… …. Is it roughly a freshly picked 4-star pure?”
I glanced at the status window and made an evaluation.
At this level, I think Jin Yu-ha did a good job.
Even in the game, it’s a specification that I can’t use because I don’t have 4 stars at the time of admission.
If you’re lucky in class, you might be aiming for first place.
“First of all, I need time to get used to this body.”
It is good to upgrade the body through goods.
I was worried about whether I should read the swordsmanship book or the strengthening book one by one, but fortunately that wasn’t the case.
If you just hold it in your hand and generate mana, the item disappears, and it feels like knowledge is automatically embedded in your head?
This part was like a game again.
But why is there no gacha? f*ck.
Anyway, my body changed so drastically that I still didn’t have the confidence to naturally unfold what was in my head.
“There is still about a month until the academy entrance ceremony… ….”
Until then, I should get used to going to the gate and catching monsters.
* * *
Clear the gate.
Velvet Hunter Academy’s students run with the concept of part-time jobs to raise their experience and earn money.
Unlike games that can be solved with just one button, in reality, there was a separate site on the Internet to find a party.
It’s not like there’s no risk because it’s operated under a real-name system after paying money, but I heard it’s rare.
So, I went to the site and found it.
Jin Yu-ha did something pretty for the first time.
Auto login!
Looking at this guy’s account, he didn’t have much money.
I never thought I’d be a regular member of the Hunter site.
However.
This is where the f*cking point of the male-female reversal came out.
I went into a job posting looking for a dealer position and put in my resume, but there was no contact even after receiving it, probably because of the gender.
So I tried to do something by calling the safety number written on the job posting.
─ Ah, man…… ? Some men…….
The b*tches who don’t come to parties just because they’re men.
─ Hmm, what would you do if we gave you a bus ride?
b*tches who ask you to pay for a bus ride.
─ It’s nice, but our gate is a little far away……. I have to sleep at my house the day before I go in. Will it be okay?❤
b*tches who are making jokes saying that they have to sleep together.
Honestly, the last part dragged me a bit.
But I wonder if these guys are proper b*tches.
If you went in believing for nothing, you would get hit in the back of the head or they wouldn’t even pay your bills properly.
Right now, I’m good at swordsmanship S, and my ability level is also compliant.
However, since he had no experience killing monsters yet, he might not be able to properly demonstrate his skills.
So we needed a solid party that even beginners could put up with.
“Ha, Mr. Is there no proper party…….”
I sat in front of the computer with my chin resting on my chin and turned the mouse wheel for a long time.
Somehow, a familiar name caught my eye.
“Huh?”
[ (Urgent!) We are looking for a dealer!!! The place is the E-class gate, Carmella’s Forest! The departure date is tomorrow, so I’m looking for it urgently! – Lee Yoo-ri (20) ]
“Hey… …. Lee Yoo-ri? 20 Years old? No way… …. Is it okay?”
Click the announcement and read the resume
A familiar face appeared.
Velvetsra, 3-star character.
[ Clay Spoon ] Lee Yoo-ri.
A child who is called more often by the cute nickname [Gukbap-i] Than by the management team’s malicious title of “Dirt spoon.”
“It was said that Gukbap had been a hunter since he was little, but he was doing it right before the entrance ceremony.”
I fell into trouble while reading your profile.
Honestly, it would be really nice to party with him…….
‘The problem is that he’s a character who sets up quite a thorn in the beginning.’
As can be seen from the fact that the title is a dirt spoon, Lee Yu-ri’s house is extremely poor.
Did your mother fail in business? Anyway, so I have a lot of debt at home.
Meanwhile, her skills were solid, so she got into Velvet Academy with pretty good grades.
There are often sad scenes of him filling his stomach with water alone because he couldn’t even afford the meal.
“Because of his lack of qualifications, he hits the wall to hide her weakness.”
But when you get to know him later, there is no other kid like him.
His position is an evasion tank, but his stamina is high, so he is often used even in PVP where 5 stars are prevalent.
It’s easy to pick because it’s 3 stars, it’s talented, it’s loyal.
Soup!
“…… Write it, I’m not in a position to cover hot or cold food. If it’s rice soup, of course it’s right to contact them. Where else can you find a kid like this? You have to hold on to the crotch of your pants and stretch.”
I immediately called the security number written on my resume.
Tack—!
─ Mandible! Mandible! Hello.
A woman’s voice came through the phone with heavy breathing.
─ Mandible! Sorry. I was training right now.
I answered with a smile.
“Yes, hello. I saw a job posting for a party and contacted you.”
─ … ….
Then, in an instant, the phone went quiet.
Are you trying to hang up after hearing my voice?
“Wait a minute! But please listen and hang up! I really want to party!”
─ …… Men don’t get it. Sorry…
“I am a prospective cadet at Velvet Hunter Academy!”
I interrupted Lee Yu-ri and shouted urgently.
The first card I pulled out to get her attention.
That was the Velvet Hunter Academy.
Of course, I am a student enrolled under the male quota system. There’s no way Lee Yu-ri knows about it, so she can use it.
Anyway, since you’re a prospective cadet, you might be curious.
─ …… The Velvet Hunter Academy?
Fortunately, Lee Yu-ri didn’t hang up on her phone.
“Yes yes! I entered the school this time, but I didn’t have the money to spend at the academy right now……. I need money urgently. I heard that food is expensive…….”
Then the second card was drawn out.
Cultivate a sense of kinship!
In reality, Jin Yoo-ha is also an orphan without parents and is poor.
However, unlike Lee Yoo-ri, this guy tends to eat well at the academy.
Why? This guy always went around changing girls and getting food.
When I didn’t know that the genders were reversed, I thought that because he’s handsome, he gets food from women like that.
Now that I know it’s a reversal, there’s no such thing as a flower snake.
─ Ha……. Still, it’s difficult…….
‘Poverty’ in ‘Academy Preliminary Cadet’. And the ‘urgentness’ of having to leave tomorrow.
When these three elements came together, Lee Yu-ri’s voice softened unlike her first.
Perhaps he is looking at himself.
I spoke in a desperate voice to clear her mind.
“…… Please. Because I’m really in need of money. I go to school in a month, and I really don’t have a single penny. It’s a plate to fill your belly with water during lunch! I won’t ask for more. I will definitely take as much as I did!”
Then, as if pondering for a while, Lee Yu-ri spat.
─ Tsk, skills……. Are you confident?
“I am a person who proudly passed the Velvet Academy with his skills!”
Shouted the guy who entered while sucking honey under the male quota system.
─ Ha……. All right. I couldn’t have done it unless I was in a hurry. Please send your resume. 7 O’clock tomorrow morning. This is Sindorim Station. Can you come
“Yes! Sure! See you tommorow!”
That’s how my first gate was with hearty rice soup.
