Chapter 335
#
After the Illusion Class ended, Yu Eunha’s class was in an uproar for quite a while.
That was because Yu Eunha had ended up collapsing during the Illusion Resistance Training.
Of course, the students, who couldn’t possibly know or even imagine that she had experienced the first day of the army repeating forever, murmured among themselves, and things got so bad that even Fire Bat Kim Jihye came looking.
“India, you crazy bitch. Just what the hell did you show her?”
Kim Jihye, who had moved Yu Eunha to the infirmary, grabbed Rebecca by the collar.
“India, I’m telling you it has no harmful effects on the human body!”
“It only looks fine on the outside, but in the end, she suffered the full mental damage, didn’t she?”
Rebecca couldn’t find the words to refute that for a moment.
Right, it wasn’t a wrong statement. There was just no physical damage.
That made sense since it was for mental training. It just lacked the various additional attacks that would normally follow illusion magic from an actual external enemy.
“Uh, well. Ahem. Still, india, what could she have possibly experienced at this age?”
“Anyway, it turned out like this, didn’t it? You should have done it in moderation!”
Who knew it would turn out like this, moderation or whatever.
Even Rebecca herself didn’t know it would go that far.
Above all, the one who fell victim to that was -
“Even the kids weaker than Yu Eunha all endured it, though?”
“Don’t you remember? The siblings Jinseok-i and Eunha even experienced their parents dying!”
Come to think of it, it seemed Yu Eunha was the only one in the class without parents.
Looking at it that way, this could definitely be a problem.
“Ah, what should I say to Jinseok-i?”
“Anyway, let her rest for now. Even so, you need to keep things in moderation. Honestly speaking, how high-level would someone have to be to have resistance to the illusions you use?”
She had nothing to say about making Yu Eunha like that, but still, she didn’t know the students were only at that level, even when she held back.
India, whatever excuse she made, nothing would change.
Anyway, Yu Eunha had collapsed.
Then, was the problem of how to make excuses to Yu Jinseok-i from now on?
Anyway, from the perspective of Rebecca, who still liked him, this incident was the worst.
#
Waking up in the infirmary, I felt like I was dying.
They called it illusion magic, and I even trained firsthand to see just how good the effects were.
It lasted for up to several months at its longest, and then there was regression to the first day of the Army.
“Hah, fuck. Ah, fuck. Wow, to think there would be an ambush like that here.”
Of all things, the army. The army! This is just too much.
It was truly the worst.
That repetition of several months was really the worst. This fucking Rebecca. She didn’t have a lick of army experience herself, yet she dared to gift me something like this.
Even if she didn’t know, isn’t this something I have every right to be angry about?
Ah, fuck. Come to think of it, that woman jumped directly into the battlefield with Yu Jinseok-i.
“Uh, well, Eunha. I’m sorry.”
Rebecca was telling me she was sorry.
Is sorry all it takes? This leftover Human?
She dared to make me experience that hell, and she’s sorry?
I really just need to shake her up a bit.
“Sorry? India, fuck, do you think this can be settled with a sorry?”
“Ah, I’m truly sorry.”
Honestly speaking, isn’t this beyond just a mistake? The standard for the worst experience is different for everyone, after all.
This wasn’t my fault.
It is entirely your fault. I am merely a victim.
“Anyway, I received a very severe wound from this incident.”
“India, still, that. Uh. Right. Your Excellency, is that what you want?”
“Seeing as my condition is very bad, I think I will need to rest for a few days.”
There was the embarrassment, and there was also the matter with Han Suji.
Resting for a few days using this as an excuse was a good method anyway.
My skills weren’t on the bad side anyway. Was there really a need to openly attend the Academy?
“Still, that’s a bit…”
“I know that’s all up to the teachers' discretion anyway, though?”
Besides this, Hanseong Academy’s teaching authority was incredibly fearsome.
Because teaching authority was undermined in the old era due to students acting up so much, they granted an enormous amount of discretionary power to Academy teachers right from the start, thinking it would be even more dangerous once the Era of Hunters arrived.
They became able to handle teaching methods almost arbitrarily.
That was why a human like Fire Bat was holding a teaching position.
Anyway, they just had to teach them strongly.
Just to the point of not dying, that is.
In fact, that was one of the reasons I was trying to skip, because that gay bastard Choi Siwoo was even receiving direct endurance training from Fire Bat at the Academy.
Getting beaten up rather violently, at that.
“It’s dangerous if you get into the habit of constantly skipping the Academy like that, you know?”
Oho. And whose fault is this?
I immediately pretended my head hurt.
“Do you really think I’m doing this because I want to skip? My head hurts so much right now. If we’re not careful, this could even reach my older brother’s ears, you know.”
“Ugh.”
So this meant she should let me rest for a few days and I would let it slide.
By that point, that fucking gay bastard wouldn’t even dare approach me, after all.
Honestly, it was a bit of an unreasonable stretch, but so what. I had to do at least this much.
because I planned to suck the marrow out of life using everything I had.
#
Around this time, Ray, an immigrant elf, caught on to the fact that Han Suji’s behavior was strange.
It was ever since she stepped up, saying she would reconcile with Yu Eunha after that practice spar.
And Yu Eunha collapsed from the illusion. She had been in that state continuously ever since. Just what in the world had happened to Yu Eunha?
Somehow, she felt like she had to know.
“Han Suji.”
“Huh? Hmm? Ray?”
In the end, she had no choice but to ask.
Because somehow, she felt like she had to ask.
“Are you okay? Your condition has somehow been strange for a while. Even if you say you’re worried about Yu Eunha, your condition seems even stranger than that.”
Honestly, she had seen her in a new light, but they hadn’t even met for that many days. And there was no way they had built up that much affection. Her condition was strange no matter how she looked at it, so she had to ask.
It was as if Suji was radiating an aura from her entire body begging to be asked, so she felt like she had to ask.
Honestly, even if she asked, it would probably be more of the same.
“Suji, well. Uh, it’s nothing.”
“Did something happen to you with Yu Eunha by any chance?”
If something had happened, this wasn’t a problem to just overlook.
She had to say what needed to be said for now. She absolutely couldn’t leave it alone.
If she was abusing her authority so recklessly just because she was Yu Jinseok-i’s younger sister, that would be the case.
“Something happened? Suji, it’s not that. Mmm. Actually, I have a worry.”
“A worry?”
Was it about Yu Eunha? Or was it something else?
Judging from the current developments, it seemed obvious that it was just related to Yu Eunha no matter how she looked at it.
Though it would be too early to jump to conclusions.
“Well. Do you know about love, Ray?”
“Love? Suji. I was too busy just surviving on my own after immigrating.”
Love, my foot. That was Your Excellency.
She didn’t have the time to do something like love in the first place.
“Ah. I see. Then I guess that won’t work.”
“Why? Don’t tell me, love?”
“Suji, this is a story about my friend.”
Friend’s story, my ass. Wasn’t it obviously about herself no matter who looked at it.
She first got annoyed for no reason, but it couldn’t be helped. It seemed obvious she would pout her lips again if she didn’t listen.
So she thought she would at least listen for now, but…
“My friend, you see. Your Excellency, what if she falls in love with a woman?”
She spat out what she was drinking in that moment.
Your Excellency? Did she mean what she thought about a woman falling in love with a woman?
She suddenly looked at Han Suji to double-check if what she heard with her ears was correct.
Her eyes showed she was definitely serious.
Just what was she thinking? No, what was she doing?
She packaged it as her friend’s story, but it was a love story in the end? Human women liked these romance-related stories, but,
Even so, would they also like it when it was about love between a woman and a woman?
“Th-That means a woman and a woman?”
Still, just in case. She still wondered just in case.
“Yeah. And connected through cigarettes, at that?”
“Cigarettes?”
Ray’s head became complicated.
India,
She didn’t know what it was. But did they, as fellow smokers, fall in love by seeing each other smoke?
In the first place, falling in love through cigarettes, what kind of crazy - ?
Nicotine Love, no, even so, that was a bit much. Ah, she had no idea what was what at all.
Anyway, this Han Suji fell for her smoking friend, wasn’t that it?
Could the partner be Yu Eunha? Did Yu Eunha smoke?
As expected, she didn’t know how to interpret this.
Yu Eunha smoked, and she fell for that Yu Eunha?
Or she herself smoked, and Yu Eunha fell for Han Suji.
Just what kind of connection was there?
Ray, who still didn’t properly know about the Human world, felt her head throb wondering how she should grasp this.
“It might be better to just give up thinking.”
Somehow, she thought the world of Humans was scary.

I ended up taking another day off just a few days after going to school.
It was even perfect since taking today off meant the weekend was included.
To think it was three consecutive days of holidays.
But even so, I couldn’t just play around like this.
A problem could arise if Yu Jinseok-i later found out about my absence today.
If so, I needed to show him this: that I also did something on my day off!
“Should I start with cleaning the inside of the house, as expected?”
The house bothered me anyway.
This floral wallpaper and girly stuff didn’t suit me at all, given that I had liked white things since the past.
Of course, this Yu Eunha’s room was completely off the mark compared to those of women her age. But wasn’t that different from how I would decorate it?
So I executed a complete remodeling for now.
Before doing that, I had to buy wallpaper and other things first.
-
India, there was no need to buy them.
Even if I bought them now, it wasn’t like they would arrive immediately via express delivery, so I was going to go out myself to buy wallpaper and other things.
I rummaged through the closet wondering where the clothes were. But somehow, wallpaper and pure white blankets and such - the things I needed right now - popped out.
“Why is this here?”
And it was here as if it had reacted to my words, at that.
Could it be that author bitch? India? That couldn’t be. If that were the case, it would mean she had been watching me all this time.
Where would such a pervert bastard be?
If she brought it? From where? Did she create something out of nothing? Or from a nearby interior specialty store?
Wouldn’t someone say, “Your Excellency, give me my stuff back,” if I used it for no reason.
Either way, it felt quite unpleasant.
“But there shouldn’t be a need to worry.”
Whichever it was, if that author bitch was involved, she would have at least made it so I could use it perfectly fine.
If so, it wasn’t bad.
First, I completely touched up the household.
I also disposed of all the miscellaneous items that looked useless from before.
Since my hands were so fast and there were few things to move in the house, changing things wasn’t even difficult.
“But why did I like white things again?”
The author suddenly giving me exactly what I needed and all, I had some doubts, but.
Did it matter.
It didn’t, because I was Yu Eunha right now anyway.
“I’m also curious about things like part-time jobs in this era, you see.”
What would a part-time job be like?
So what I’m talking about isn’t a simple part-time job.
It’s the world of Hunters in its own way, you see. I’m curious what kind of part-time jobs there would be in this world of Hunters.
Should I have just gone to the Academy? I’m getting too pointlessly curious about things.
I had to earn money for now anyway. Also, getting used to it a bit was a method for living a social life in this era.
So I’ve taken a look for now. Is this Your Excellency?
