How to get on the protagonist’s flower path

Chapter 7 - How to Create a Character (7)



Ugh. At this age, puffing up my cheeks.

Even our youngest at the orphanage, Nana (7 years old), doesn’t pretend to be cute like this!

“No, that’s not it…”

The con artist waved his hand as if flustered.

I know what the scammer really wants to ask me.

The con artist knows that on the first day, only DumDum and Nayuri were at the training hall, so they must be wondering why I, someone they had never heard of, suddenly showed up.

Well, to build connections.

But I can’t answer like this.

“Well, it’s rare for someone to be at the training hall from the very first day, right?” So I was wondering if there might be another reason.

“You also trained from the first day.”

“……That’s right.”

I opened the floodgates for the con artist, who was clearly scheming on how to get information from me.

Here, eat this.

“Well, but… actually, I never intended to put in effort even when I came to the training hall.”

The reason is, should we settle for this?

“You can’t level up by defeating monsters, it’s inefficient.”

“That’s right.” Usually, I think defeating monsters is the most efficient way.

Hey, dude, watch your tone.

The con artist’s tone exudes the implication that ‘I know the truth that differs from the common perception.’ It seems like they can’t help but feel an itch to speak since they can’t pretend to know.

Originally, at times like this, just “That’s right.” I’ll just do it and finish. You were just dying to show off, weren’t you?

Yes. But thanks to you, Yuhan has changed his mind.

Irregular, in other words, the variable has arisen because of your very existence. 빠밤.

If it’s for this reason, can you understand?

“Because of me?”

Yes. You listened to everyone and sincerely thought things through together, right?

I interpret the scammer’s attempt to improve their reputation this morning positively.

In male-oriented novels, the phrase “Wow, ○○-kun!” often appears. Amazing! Cliché.

At this moment, I became an extra G who mindlessly overinterprets and praises the protagonist’s actions.

“Don’t you all want to study and improve together to become amazing hunters?”

“Uh, yeah.”

Looking back at the scammer, he smiles broadly.

Thank you. Originally, I only smile like this in front of my family.

“Seeing you help other friends with such sincerity, I thought to myself that I also want to move forward more quickly.”

It’s a concept of a shy heroine confessing her true feelings. How is it?

So this is how helpful the romance comics I diligently read and analyzed before entering school can be. Right now, my hands and feet are cramping in real-time, but there was nothing I could do about it.

“The only thing we can do right now is train at the training hall.” I tried to stay strong even there.

“……Is that so?”

“It’s all thanks to you.”

I tilted my head as if embarrassed and lightly scratched my cheek with my finger.

“Haha, saying it like this makes me a bit embarrassed.”

I am learning! Great actor!

I am the head of a household for a teacher like a puppy and kids like rabbits!

“Yuhan was also trying hard and went to the training hall, right?” That’s amazing.

“It’s nothing.”

I met the con artist’s gaze with eyes full of trust and goodwill.

“Right.” That weird kid? The kid who uses fire said you didn’t practice, but I don’t think so. The you I saw was someone who, while encouraging everyone to do their best, helped everyone and immediately ran to the training hall after school, a diligent person indeed!

Clenching both fists tightly, shaking them lightly, and making a “aja aja” sound.

“Let’s work hard together starting tomorrow!”

The con artist smirked.

“Okay.”

Do you understand now?

Okay. Thank you…….

Teacher, I’m trying my best like this…

I stretched out my hands and feet, which were about to curl up, and smiled brightly until I arrived at the dormitory.

My heart is devastated.

Service jobs are this tough, everyone…

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

After that, for three days of conducting basic theoretical education for the students, I trained continuously with the con artist and Dum Dum.

I, in the meantime…

“Awesome, Yuhan!”

Amazing, Even clichés are applied diligently.

“I practiced my speech, and looking at the results, it seems better than I expected!” How is it?

“Isn’t it okay?” Okay.

I also made a strong case that I would be a valuable resource.

Especially, the con artist was even more pleased as they honed the casting skills needed to clear ‘that dungeon.’

Other than that, they also practiced by teaming up with the con artist and attacking Dumdum under the con artist’s command.

And for some reason, Nayuri…

“Today was pretty good.”

“Hehe.” “That’s a relief!”

“Uh, um…!”

Again and again…

“Awesome, Yuhan!”

“……!”

Every time we met, I glared at the scammer.

Is it just my imagination, or does it seem like the scammer glares at me more every time I try to approach?

In the original novel, Nayuri used to look down on heroines who approached con artists, so I thought it was an action in the same context.

After such a peaceful time passed, the day for the practical class approached.

“Good morning, rookies!”

The instructor shouted loudly.

“In this class, you will choose a weapon that suits you and try it out!”

The initial curriculum of the academy is designed to teach awakened individuals, who know nothing yet, the common sense and experience of being a hunter.

This type of class continues all the way until the first midterm exam.

The ‘clueless’ awakened ones here are, of course, the government-supported awakened ones. The awakened in the society of the awakened already know everything.

In other words, it’s the difference between kids who only attend public education and those who go to private tutoring and cram schools.

Anyway, when implementing this curriculum, all first-year students are assigned only to classes D, E, and F because they are considered inexperienced.

Until the midterm exam, they teach the basics, and during the midterm exam, they enter the real battle for the first time under the name of an exam, defeating monsters.

After the evaluation, they are divided into classes from A to F again, and it is said that students from the awakened society who have previously experienced monsters are more likely to go to higher-ranked classes.

It seems no different from the educational gap in the previous life. Dirty world.

Look, you can still see the difference now.

“What are you going to do?”

Me? I’m an archer… I’m trying out various bows and things.

The government-supported awakened individuals, who are flustered and carrying various standard-issue weapons.

“You’re obviously that, right?”

“Of course.” I’ve been dealing with it for years.

Those from the awakened society who skillfully bring only one weapon that suits them.

During the weapon aptitude assessment, they only let us use academy-standard weapons, or else the quality of the weapons would have made a huge difference.

In both past and present lives, social background is an undeniable factor.

Oh, right, this isn’t the time to be sightseeing. I guess I should choose too.

“Yuhan, what position are you in?” “I’m a sniper!”

Before that, let’s secure some content.

“Commander.”

I know. So even with weak specs, you can somehow manage with skill and equipment.

In the game, it was said that Na Yuhan could run rampant and cause trouble in the early stages thanks to the gear he bought with money.

“Commander?” Are you commanding the army? Are you also making a strategy? “Awesome!”

“Not really.”

“Seems pretty amazing to me…?” So, what equipment are you going to use?

For your reference, I’m obviously a gun. The profession of a sniper involves adjustments to all types of guns, including sniper rifles.

I thought this situation would be a good opportunity to hear this guy’s evaluation of me, so I quietly turned on the appearance part.

085
“Yuhan, what position do you play?”

“Commander.”

“Commander?” Are you commanding the army? Are you also making a strategy? “Awesome!”

Of course. A well-trained commander and support character were absolutely essential, a matter of human rights in the game. It was enough to sway the overall outcome of the game.

“Not really.”

However, the problem is that in this game’s world, the reputation of supporters isn’t very good.

It’s the logic that someone who directly works hard is better than those who just slack off from behind. Sure, it might seem that way at a glance, but objectively, it’s different.

Well, people are emotional beings, so there’s nothing we can do about it, right?

“It seems amazing, doesn’t it…?” What equipment are you going to use?

I couldn’t help but laugh at that question. It’s like, “How do you start the game?” It felt like watching a newbie who kept asking questions.

The equipment tech for characters, especially for supporters, was common knowledge, but now it seems I’m the only one who knows it.

The initial equipment for the commander is just one, right?

“Flag.”

I pretended to wave a flag with a grin.

“Flag?”

With a puzzled look, wondering what waving a flag was all about, Kang Nahyun soon disappeared to gather her gear.

As if crossing paths with the vanished one, Nayuri approached directly.

“You…”

The glare from Nayuri that I’ve been feeling since earlier.

The weapon aptitude assessment time is a joint class for D, E, and F groups, so I expected it.

“What on earth are you plotting?” “Are you going to torment and kill people like toys again?”

What on earth is this? To kill?

No, let’s think about this later.

The problem now was that she was looking at me with a cold gaze, as if she were about to kill me. Be ruthless.

That’s why I’ve been building a connection with Park Si-woo these past few days. Seeing Park Si-woo glance at me and then at Na Yu-ri gave me a sense of calm. In case of an emergency, Park Si-woo will play the role of a brake.

“That child is pitiful, so how about letting them go quickly?”

“Hey, it seems like there’s a misunderstanding, but he’s just my friend.”

“Who is your younger sibling…!”

As a result, the work at the training center was worth doing.

“I’m here!”

There was also a decent side income.

I saw Kang Nahyun following me naturally like a chick.

“어? You are…….”

“Damn…….”

Nayuri seemed to have decided to step back for now and turned around.

That bastard Nayuhan, what on earth has he been doing for Nayuri to react like that? I felt the need to resolve the misunderstanding quickly. Because likability is important.

“Look.” It’s all a gun! There was only one sniper rifle, but…

“Snipers are a rare profession, so it can’t be helped.”

And since it’s a late-blooming profession, there aren’t many people who have succeeded in this world until they reach that point. So, relatively speaking, they invest less in the academy.

In the game, once you completed the leveling, it was a flying marksman.

“Ah, I have one thing I want to ask you.” “Can you listen to me?”

At my words, Kang Nahyun smiled brightly and said.

“Anytime!”

I petted Kang Nahyun and grinned.

“Thank you.”

With this, all the puzzle pieces are complete.

Great performance
