The Novel's Extra's POV

Chapter 11: Aether (2)

-*-

For the last two days, my search for Aether has been unsuccessful, though, I have found many caves, I am yet to find the dungeon, and now with this class starting, my time searching will be less. I still have about 3.5 weeks before he goes to the dungeon, so the situation is not terrible yet, however, I have no idea how long finding Arachne's thread will take. Disappointed, I headed to my first class of the day, post-outcall history.

*outcall is the event that gave people gifts and spawned dungeons/monsters

Rachel, one of four main love interests for Kim Hajin and the princess of England, has always taken pride in her first place on exams. The entire country of England is rooting for her to be the first master-class hero, a hero that ranks within the top 70, to come from England, so they have invested a truckload of money. To say, she had a burden is a huge understatement, she is carrying the hopes of millions of English citizens. To keep up with the country's expectations, Rachel works every day tirelessly and never sleeps for more than five hours.

This same great Rachel asked Kim Hajin, a loser, for his number and now texts him when she has problems with the theory. On the other hand, everyone including Rachel thinks I fucking cheated on the test, so they mostly ignore my rank. However, one little idiot keeps pestering me.

[Bam: dude tell me how you cheated, I won't snitch]

[Bam: bro put me on]

[Ren: DUDE THE METHOD IS STUDYING]

As I entered the class, I could see that same great princess of England staring at Hajin from across the room.

'wait across the room? doesn't she sit behind him? wait why is he in my seat?'

I slowly walked towards MY seat which now contained some unwanted specimen. I arrived at my seat row and placed my hands on Hajin's shoulders.

"HEY MAN, whatcha doing over here"

"oh, I just wanted to see what trick you used on the theory test"

"hahaha, get up rank 934"

Hajin got up and sat in the seat next to mine, which previously had my backpack on it. At the same moment, Rachel also walked towards MY seat and sat in the row behind us.

"Look what you've done," I said

"oh shut up dude"

"First Yoo Yeonha, second Chae Nayun, now Rachel. dude choose one boat" I said loud enough for Rachel to maybe hear it.

Kim Hajin gave me a light punch and seriously said.

"keep it down dude, you know if any of them heard that, our heads would be gone"

"our? yours"

'wait if Hajin, the protagonist dies, does the world get destroyed, so I die too?'

While waiting for the class to start, I checked my style progress

'Almost there'

After post-outcall history ended, we headed to Phenomenon Realm Analysis, and again Kim Hajin sat next to me while Rachel tried to be discreet when she sat behind us. The bell rang and the professor walked in with a good mood.

"Hello students, Today we'll be going over the previous exam. You must imagine how shocked I was to see that we had not one, not two, but three theory prodigies in our class. We'll be going over Kim Hajin's answer sheet today. Different from the others, Kim Hajin's explanations were amazing and creative with no detail left untouched"
