The Novel's Extra (0-100)

Chapter 61 - Final Exam (3)

Long after Kim Hajin left, Chae Nayun opened her eyes which she had kept tightly shut. She got up only after confirming that Kim Hajin had completely disappeared.

She had woken up a long time ago, but her mind was still in a daze. It was most likely because of what Kim Hajin said.

—Why are you so cute?

"..."

Chae Nayun's cheeks flushed red. Her appearance was praised ever since she was young, but she had never expected to hear such a thing from Kim Hajin's mouth.

"Auuu..."

Chae Nayun shook her head fiercely and shook off her thoughts.

"Whatever it was, I didn't hear it. He was talking to himself. There must have been a cat or a dog nearby. Definitely."

Chae Nayun murmured and crawled out of the sleeping bag. The sleeping bag was just as warm and cozy as a bed, something that made her night extremely enjoyable.

'Should I leave it here? Or bring it with me?' Chae Nayun began to think. 'Since Kim Hajin left it here after saying... saying how I was cute... he must have wanted me to take it.'

After coming to that conclusion, she folded up the sleeping bag, which reduced to a size of a fist-sized ball.

"Was it this small?"

She was astonished by the tiny sleeping bag. After putting it away, she checked her smartwatch. It was 7:20 in the morning, but it was still dark outside.

"It must be a polar night...."

Chae Nayun stretched and began to prepare for the day.

On top of the World Tree, I looked around in all directions. Thousand-Mile Eyes were unrestricted by obstacles, allowing everything to enter my vision.

A day had already passed, and cadets were discovering their preferred method of survival. Some sold food to obtain points, some chased after monsters, and some concealed themselves and waited for unsuspecting cadets to walk by.

"Mm?"

When I found someone, a rather mischievous idea popped up in my head.

A method to blow my nose without using my hand. To be more precise, it was a method to eliminate cadets who were too strong for me to deal with.

I snapped off a decently sized tree branch and gave it a sharp end. Then, I inscribed a coordinate and some words on it.

Next, I grabbed the tree branch and threw it at 'him'. Because he was so far away, I had to use some of Stigma's magic power.

The tree branch flew like an arrow and struck the ground after lightly brushing past his face.

The cadet who was walking imposingly stopped and looked at the tree branch on the ground.

From where I was, I could only see his back. But I knew very well what emotion he was currently feeling.

He grabbed the tree branch I shot out. After checking the words written on the side, he turned to the direction the tree branch came from. Although he couldn't possibly see me from this distance, I still dodged his gaze.

Now, I just had to wait.

...Just like that, an hour went by.

I was watching the drone footages on my laptop when I suddenly noticed a change.

"What? Already?"

Under the thick darkness, Rachel was heading somewhere with Joo Yeohoon. I quickly expanded my sight and tracked them. Their destination seemed to be a wooded cliff.
