[Weak Hero X Reader] Romance 101 [OLD VERSION]

Eunjang VS Hyeongshin Part II

You were scribbling absentmindedly in your notebook. Eugene looked like he wanted to talk to you, but had no idea how to start a conversation with you. When Gray returned from the bathroom, Eugene struck up a conversation with him, though he was still nervous as he spoke. "I signed up at the cram school just like you suggested. I'm in the super basics class. I'm trying to start studying too, now,"

"Good job," Gray passed a notebook labeled KEY POINTS to Eugene. "Since you're not at all accustomed to studying, you should start by improving your grades in memorization-based subjects. The curriculum institute announced that the test will be mostly based on the test questions from two to three years ago, so I condensed it into that notebook. The fun of studying only begins with seeing tangible results..."

'Gray considers studying to be fun!?'

"And it's easier to improve in memorization-based subjects in the beginning as opposed to comprehension-based ones. Don't just study like an idiot. You need to maximize efficiency to minimize burn out," Gray turned to face you. "You should also focus on your studies,"

"It's not like I'm failing," You rolled your eyes. "I don't have any intentions of achieving first place. You can keep the Number One rank," 'If there was prize money involved, I'd challenge you for first place,'

"By the way," Eugene spoke up. "You may not be interested in this kind of stuff, but rumors about both you and Gray have been circulating. Gray, Yoosun's been calling you the 'White Mamba of Eunjang' and [Your Name], they've been calling you the 'Scarlet Devil',"

"Scarlet Devil?" You slightly quirked a brow. "Let me guess, the scars I caused are from the devil's claws?"

"Y-Yeah..."

'I preferred to not garner attention, but I guess it's not like this matters. Only those two red vests saw my face and would be able to identify me,'

Once school had finished for the day, it began to pour. You tugged your jacket hood over your head and ran home. You weren't going to go job hunting in the rain. If you showed up in soaked clothes, it'd be a bad first impression. You decided to buy an umbrella later.

You scrolled through the internet looking for job openings either near your apartment or en route to and from school. You found a couple, but the listings required degrees and job experience. You eventually settled on a cafe waitress and sent an email with your resume.

The next day, you checked your email and read the response. You had an interview after school. Once the final bell rang for the end of class, you quickly left with only a wave to Eugene and Gray. At the interview, you acted as professional as possible and was hired.

After your interview, you decided to drop by the bakery that you had bought donuts from. However, instead of the bakery...you ended up in front of Hero Cram School. 'Since I'm already here, I'll wait for Gray and Eugene. Maybe they know where the bakery moved to,' You didn't want to outright say that you were friends with them, but you were slowly warming up to them.

While you were waiting, you decided to chat a bit with Jake to kill some time.
