Chapter 71 - How to Escape From Being a Troublemaker (1)
In the car on the way back to the Academy after separating from Park Siwoo and Shin Baran.
It’s been a while since I checked the meta system.
[Status]

– Active: Location Tracking Lv.2
Perhaps thanks to defeating the level boss, the levels went up significantly.
At this rate, even if I were to debut as a hunter right away, there would be many places that would want to take me.
In particular, in this world environment where it’s difficult to set a high skill level due to random stat distribution, my <Magic Bullet> skill, which is already level 10, is my biggest strength.
Now there is no problem with making a living. I was proud.
Plus…
[Location Tracking Lv.2]
– Can be activated when touching part of the opponent with your hand.
– You can determine the location of the other person up to a 10km radius.
A new skill was also created.
It’s not a bad skill. Because it’s important to know the location of my comrades in a confusing situation during battle.
[Current meta point: 4850 points]
The meta point still hasn’t recovered, but it can’t be helped since I kept my distance from Scammer for a while and couldn’t appear in the novel.
Still, it’s steadily increasing little by little.
Rather, I need to look at the newly updated elements. I pressed the button labeled ‘Story Fragment’.
Then, completely new system windows that I had never seen before appeared.
[Story Fragment]
– Not just your story, it’s everyone’s story
– A story told from various perspectives rather than the main character’s first person perspective.
– Automatically collected after identifying each main story transmission route.
[Currently collected Story Fragment: 3]
– Academy’s Genius Commander: 1
– ???? ??? ???? ?? (Locked): 2
One red gem and two green gems appeared like holograms in the air.
I tried pressing the green gem on the side full of question marks, yet this only brought up a window.
[This is a locked story.]
[Unlock condition: Change ??? to ???]
I can’t. I tried pressing the red gem.
[Story Fragment]
The cat ears on her head moved lightly.
“Hmm~ I overheard something private. What should I do?”
Contrary to her words that sounded like she was in trouble, the corners of her lips were turned up, with her extra teeth sticking out.
She wagged her tail lazily as if she was contemplating something.
“After listening to it, something reminds me of what happened with Hana last year. What conclusions do those kids come to?”
She hummed and muttered, hng.
“Great, let’s go closer and watch!”
She hummed and suddenly disappeared from the spot, riding the wind.
Then, the part that I previously read in the appearance part appeared as a video.
To be precise, this is what happened after Choi Soojung overheard our conversation.
‘Everyone’s story’.
So, does this mean that this video shows the perspectives of various people other than Na Yuhan?
Whether I can see it or not depends on how much of that fragment I have collected, right?
This time I thought about the new feature.
I don’t know if I can figure it out even if it’s not a comment or thought about me, but this is definitely an advantage. Let’s check it from time to time.
Next… It was the appearance part, but I just didn’t have enough screen time overall.
[Episode 79 Appearance Part]
We were able to take a breather only after defeating the level boss.
We had a hard time thanks to the level boss who was interfering with our communications. Originally, I tried to contact Nahyun’s side as soon as the situation broke out, but that was also impossible.
It seemed like this situation would continue for a while due to the miscellaneous mobs that had inherited the characteristics of the level boss.
Choi Soojung grumbled.
“Hana, let’s freeze this all~”
Lee Hana said as she froze the corpse of the level boss in a barrel.
“…Nahyun’s is…”
“They will be safe.”
Absolutely.
I clenched my fists.
Na Yuri looked at me like that and made a strange expression.
“Na Yuhan, you really…”
“…Why?”
“Really, no, nothing. What am I thinking?”
I wonder why, as she said those words and looked at me, there seemed to be some kind of confusion in Na Yuri’s eyes.
This much?
I felt fortunate that Scammer seemed to have gotten rid of his dependence on me.
What is the readers’ reaction?

What else is this f*cker
They had already almost moved on to another heroine group. I nodded with satisfaction.
If I go back to Scammer again, I can establish myself as a proper sub-heroine.
I especially felt sorry for Lee Hana, the ice team that made up a large percentage, but I cheered for Lee Hana.
I’m sorry, but please keep working hard just a bit! Senior Lee!
I thought so, but…
“Hello.”
…Why are you here, ma’am?
I looked at her sitting in the intensive surveillance inspection unit classroom in bewilderment, and then closed the door again.
Is this a dream? I tried pinching my cheek, but it hurt.
I tried opening the door again.
“Hello.”
There was Lee Hana in front of the door.
Although it sucked, this was a stark reality. No, why is the Senior here?
Next, Lee Hana naturally took my hand and made me sit next to her.
“I came because I was worried.”
“You were… worried?”
“Mmhm.”
“…How…?”
Um… is this a place that you can go to… because you’re worried…?
“By accumulating penalty points. Soojung helped me a lot.”
What kind of trouble did you get into, seniors?
Lee Hana said, not paying attention to my stunned expression.
“I said I would protect you, you know.”
“That’s amazing…”
When I sighed and grumbled, Lee Hana smiled proudly. It’s not a compliment. Don’t smile.
Still, since the trouble happened at school, I was relieved to hear that she wouldn’t be monitored like Min Jaeyoon and I.
For your information, Min Jaeyoon, who came into the classroom late, was a little embarrassed at first, but quickly adapted to Lee Hana’s presence.
“Um, um, hello…!”
“Mmhm. Hello.”
I was happy to see that even though she was hesitant, she was still trying to approach her first.
Min Jaeyoon set a goal of making 100 friends after working at the fortress. I support her.
“Are you all gathered?”
And during the morning ordinance, Yggdrasil attacked. There are so many surprises today.
“It’s none other than the reorganization of the intensive surveillance inspection team!”
Yggdrasil entered triumphantly and continued her explanation.
The teachers, who were contemplating what class to assign Min Jaeyoon and I, who had been removed from supervision, and what to do with punishment for Lee Hana, who had caused a moderate trouble, decided to handle all cases at once.
Right in the final exam.
First, they decided for Min Jaeyoon and me to reorganize our classes based on our final exam scores. Lee Hana also said that she should help the two of us advance to class C or higher.
“That’s it! Good luck!”
After saying that, Yggdrasil disappeared like the wind, as if she was very busy.
I looked at her back with an absurd gaze, and as if I had expected it, she handed us the study materials and asked me.
“Did you already know?”
“Mmhm. I made an agreement with Miss Yggdrasil and got into trouble.”
…Is this okay, Miss Yggdrasil?
Thus, a study session began with the three of us—me, Min Jaeyoon, and Lee Hana.
“You have increased a lot.”
“Right? I studied whenever I could.”
I grinned.
My theoretical skills have improved considerably. At this level, I may be able to aim for top grades.
Hereafter she handed me her theory summary notes from last year where she had summarized what she had studied.
“Can I receive something precious like this?”
“Mmhm.”
“Senior…!”
…It was a bit touching.
In addition to lending me the summary notes, Lee Hana provided a lot of help. She was always right next to us, asking us if there was anything we didn’t know and teaching us, to the point where I was worried as to whether she had time to study.
I was really worried, so I asked her secretly, and she said it was fine because she was already completely familiar with all the information.
…I was worried for no reason.
“You’re good.”
Every time Lee Hana smiled softly and said that next to me, I felt like something inside my heart was being wrapped in soft cotton.
How weird.
“Even though I have to do really good this time too…!”
“…You’re good too.”
“Ah, yes…!”
Additionally, the budding friendship between Lee Hana and Min Jaeyoon was awkward, but it built up slowly and smoothly.
Anyway, we all did pretty well on the written exam. Now all that was left was practical skills.
“The final practice was a monster wave, right?”
Min Jaeyoon nodded at my words.
“Mmhm! I heard it’s advantageous to have a wide-area side!”
The practical part of the final exam is a hunting competition between students.
While a wave of monsters is coming, multiple parties hunt at the same time, and the focus is on how many monsters can be defeated in that chaotic situation.
Of course we had no worries.
“I’ll do my best!”
“Let’s win.”
“Yes! Don’t worry! Because I am strong!”
“Alright.”
I looked at Lee Hana and Min Jaeyoon, smiling.
Our strategy was simple.
First.
“This kind of kid exists!”
“Ugh!”
“Save me…”
Bind them all with Min Jaeyoon’s curse skill.
Second.
“I’ll do it.”
“Yes!”
Lee Hana’s technique, freezing everything to absolute zero.
Third.
“Let’s destroy it!”
“Mmhm!”
“Got it.”
Break it!
It’s so easy, right?
Anyway, we recorded an overwhelming score within the group we were placed in.
Our result?
“Good!”
“We did it!”
“That’s a relief.”
Of course it’s Class A!
We headed to Class A at a brisk pace.
In addition, today was the day when the ban on going out for me and Min Jaeyoon was lifted. It was a day of complete freedom.
And when I opened the classroom door, Na Yuri flew towards me.
“Miss Nahyun!”
“Ugh!”
My body bounced.
“…!”
“Nahyun—!”
…Mm, well.
Anyway, just like that, I got my daily life back.
