162 – 32. Exchange Meeting
Yeonhee could not understand this moment at all.
‘How…… ‘Is this what happened?’
Well, today was a festival.
Enjoying a date with my boyfriend, eating with friends, and competing in the preliminaries.
I was lucky enough to win the first match. I learned how to use a sword from my boyfriend, who is a , But honestly, it was just for ornamental purposes.
A flashy swordsmanship with a lot of appearance and no substance.
Of course I was satisfied. In the first place, she was an , And although she had no substance, her seemingly brilliant sword skills allowed her to always land the leading role in plays involving martial arts or battles.
For Yeonhee, the sword was just that.
“Yeonhee! Yeonhee! Yeonhee! Yeonhee!”
“Yeonhee, is she a god? Yeonhee, is she a god?”
“How did Yeonhee become strong!”
“
Show me your sword skills, which is said to be the most powerful among ! Show me the power of Jeongbae!!”
‘What is this!?’
I couldn’t handle the praise and shouts pouring into the stadium right now.
Strong man? The best swordsmanship among actors?
There is nothing like that. Even in the first match, I barely won after swinging my sword…… !
‘And what are the odds?’
Currently, her odds for this match are 9:1.
This means that 9 out of 10 people predicted Yeonhee’s victory. This is a number that cannot normally be seen unless it is a match between a combat class and a non-combat class.
If it were only 6:4 or 7:3, I would have a sufficient advantage, right? You might have thought that, but 9:1 crossed the line.
‘There…….’
Unlike Yeonhee, who is shaking from the pressure, her opponent in the match, wearing two swords with a calm smile, is ‘him’ Namgoong Min.
Although she herself did not have any feelings for Namgoong Min, she knew to some extent because her boyfriend often talked about her.
Nam Goong Min is a natural person.
During the test at Daehosu in the first semester, the agitator who led everyone to help her boyfriend, who failed early in the play, take the test again.
My boyfriend called me a revolutionary, but honestly, no matter how you look at it, it was an incitement.
The good news is that in the end, Is weak enough to be called the weakest member of the academy.
That also collapsed after hearing the results of the first match.
Geas Rotinel was a celebrity that Yeonhee knew well, and no matter how lucky she was, she would not be able to win against Geass Rotinel unless a miracle happened right away.
But why on earth did the odds become 9:1?
‘No way…… No way.’
For a moment, I thought Namgoong Min might have incited it, but I soon stopped.
Why on earth would you do such a petty and vicious thing on purpose?
It was a conclusion I reached because I had no doubt that she would have snobbish thoughts of winning money by betting on herself.
“Yeonhee.”
“…Yes, Namgoong Min.”
“Can we start soon?”
“Yes… Of course.”
Now, escaping from reality is also limited. The announcement to start the match was made immediately.
Because Yeonhee did not move due to the pressure, Namgoong Min also stayed still.
Now it was time to start the match.
Chaeng.
‘Never…… ‘You can’t lose!’
Yeonhee, wearing a flashy costume that she would wear on stage, with her long hair tied in a ponytail, deliberately pulled out a fancy sword.
The reason she brought her clothes and ceremonial sword, which were not of any use to her in battle, was to promote her play at the martial arts club and to make people aware of her as an
Actor.
If you win, there will be more sponsors who will remember Yeonhee, and if you lose…… Lose……… Noodle……
‘My monthly allowance…… !’
The problem is not the marriage of 9 invested in her victory right now.
Yeonhee’s allowance, which she put in with her husband, will disappear without a trace.
Yeonhee, sweating coldly, looked at Namgoong Min, who was also holding her sword.
‘The other sword is…… You said it was a spare sword to be drawn after throwing a sword, right?’
This is information I heard from a friend who watched the first game. It was really valuable information.
When Yeonhee was watching the second sword that Namgoong Min did not draw.
Nam Goong Min made the first move.
Tadat!
‘He moves the same way as he did last time.’
It was said that he rushed in first in the match with Geass Rotinel.
Since she did not have the talent to attack from a distance, Yeonhee, who was just looking at Namgoong Min running towards her, swung her sword at him who ran right in front of her.
The treasured sword sparkles in the light, and the richly decorated clothes flutter.
Thanks to practicing only the posture, the sight of Yeonhee swinging her sword came out like a painting.
The moment when the audience was focused on that gorgeous appearance.
Chaengkang!
Yeonhee realized something after clashing swords with Namgoong Min.
‘Ah.’
You can’t win this.
What my boyfriend always told me when I was learning how to use a sword.
‘The fight between swordsmen is more than swordsmanship…… I said it depends on your vision.’
A broad view of fights, moves, and situations.
It is said that if the swordsmanship is not overwhelmingly superior to that of the opponent, the match can be decided by that.
And because she feels.
‘Nam Goong Min…….’
That unnaturally dilated right pupil.
It contained numerous things at a glance.
In the end, a wide perspective that the Who learned the sword through form could not reach.
…… But I think I just glanced at the odds board. Is it because of my mood? … ?

There is something said in a program I watched on TV when I was young.
An animation featuring yellow sponges, starfish, and squid in a swimsuit city under the sea.
This is what the red crab who appears as the restaurant owner said there.
“Money is always right.”
That was a truly correct statement.
In the end, the reason my parents committed suicide, the reason a cult took me in, and the reason I worked so hard to take care of Jisoo were all because of money.
So, it was right for me to induce a reverse order.
“How much is this…?”
The exchange meeting has already entered the evening of the second day.
I had seven matches and won them all.
And all seven times it was reversed.
It was the result of livelihood-type agitation.
‘It was sweet.’
The second and third matches had the highest payouts.
Up until then, it was possible to incite a victory by saying it was luck or that the opponent was caught off guard, but it didn’t work so well after the fourth or fifth victory.
It was a natural thing based on common sense. So I changed my strategy.
After the fifth match, I deliberately limped.
Amman, however, there was no student who could take the injured fortune teller as his wife.
After such efforts, the seventh match ended with a score of about 7:3, so it was a great harvest.
Just looking at the account made me feel reassured, but I still felt like it wasn’t enough.
It was not because of greed for wealth, but because of debt.
“1 Trillion in debt…”
When Liu’s character event appeared, I clearly remember one of the conditions.
It was said that this was an event where the money borrowed from Liu had to be over 1 trillion won.
‘Did I borrow that much?’
At best, you can receive an artifact, ride on Rio’s private plane, receive treatment at a hospital owned by Rio, receive support for living expenses from Rio, and more………
Hmm.
‘I borrowed a lot.’
Honestly, this is because Rio is too vicious. Sometimes it was a debt, sometimes it was a gift, and as Liu took care of all the small amounts that I didn’t even know about, it seemed like it was gradually accumulating into debt.
Somehow I thought that the money I had saved on my own was not decreasing at all, but in fact, I was entrusting my entire life to Liu.
First of all, in order to somehow solve the problem, I stimulated the betrayal.
There is a limit to the amount of money that can be wagered since martial arts competition winner gambling is officially operated by the academy, but even so, after many twists and turns, he was able to win a huge sum of 20 billion won!
Now we just need 50 more major events where this kind of gambling is legal!
“Will it work…?”
When combined with the money already collected, it amounts to about 100 billion won.
Honestly, it is an amount that we only saw on the news, let alone touched in the original world. It’s an astronomical amount of money that you won’t be able to use until you die.
But I didn’t have much desire.
Have I also become imbued with a sense of money since I am in a special vocational class? Maybe so.
Actually, I guessed the fundamental reason.
“Jisoo.”
What is the point of using it alone? I don’t have a younger sister.
From the moment he refused his parents’ invitation to commit suicide together as a child.
Namgung Jisoo, her younger sister became the reason for my life.
It didn’t work out. It’s nasty. I get irritated easily. I’m a picky eater. Although I whine.
At some point, he started to look like an adult. Stay calm. For the family. He was considerate of me.
I felt like I needed that b*tch to do anything extravagantly.
As she continued to think about Namgung Jisoo, she just closed her eyes.
If you fall asleep like that.
Because I was able to dream of happy times.
I did not resist the approaching beast demons.

The third day of the exchange meeting dawned.
This is the day when the three-day preliminary round ends, and it is also the day when the finalists are selected.
There were still plenty of things to see, things to eat, and tests and competitions all over Romance Academy, but people were interested in one thing.
“Is there anyone confirmed as a finalist?”
“First of all, the Princess and Ito Sasaki from Team A are unconditional, and the Arthur siblings are said to be strong on Team B. Oh, and the Saint and the Hero from Group E as well.”
“There are quite a few first graders…?”
“Honestly, compared to our second and fourth years, the first year has an overwhelmingly better talent pool. Right now, special vocational classes are only available in the first year.”
“In the third year…There are senior Kim Ha-neul and Chairman Lily. But is Chairman Lily the only one who came to the martial arts club?”
“I heard that senior Kim Ha-neul is up to something. Anyway, he’s just a 4th year student, and we… Are like that young master?”
“Are you sure, Master? Is there anything else?”
“Honestly, except for the people I just mentioned, even if they advance, they are immediately eliminated. It’s amazing that half of the candidates who could aim for the championship are first-year students.”
The expansion to the finals begins tonight. There are still three matches left.
However, looking at the record so far and the future bracket, there are actually quite a few people who have advanced to the finals.
And the students’ interest was, among them, who would be the winner.
Who is the strongest? This debate was heated regardless of whether it was a combat or non-combat profession.
While most students are focusing on celebrities, those who are seriously participating in winning bets are slowly becoming more popular.
“Isn’t this…A possibility?”
“Are you serious? He’s a .”
“Did you know that the fortune teller you disparage won all seven times?”
“That’s because the bracket was so sweet!”
“It’s not like he was the only one who had that sweet spot. Even if he was lucky and didn’t get hit by even one combat class, the fact that he was able to win the entire battle has a special meaning.”
“So…You will win the three matches today?”
“It’s not just that. What if, what if, if we win all three times…?”
Won all 10 matches.
Of course, we will advance to the finals.
In the history of the Academy, there have been several instances where non-combat classes have advanced to the finals through such brackets.
He is the first At Romance Academy, especially if he entered a special occupation class.
“……Crazy.”
Unlike the betting on the winner that begins before the match, the betting on the probability of a specific student advancing to the finals is held before the start of the martial arts competition.
There, Namgoong Min’s odds were actually 10:0, but a very small number of traitors who seemed to have really lost their minds bet on Namgoong Min.
If Namgoong Min really advances to the finals.
…… The biggest dividend in Romance Academy history may come from this martial arts event.
Whether she knew it or not, Namgoong Min, who was preparing for her eighth match, touched the area around her eyes.
‘Just after today.’
You can enjoy an exchange event with Liu, Eunha, Lane, and Eileen.
Then you can meet Cloel Martina.
An opportunity to start a character event of a saint that could not be found in the game.
But winning comes first.
As long as she makes it to the finals, she will be able to get the right to change her job skill name, even if she is immediately eliminated.
Namgoong Min, who had strengthened her resolve, checked the twin swords on her waist one last time and then went out to the stadium.
“Namgoong Min! Namgoong Min! Namgoong Min!”
“The embodiment of betrayal!”
“This time, I’m sure I’ll be married!”
“Didn’t you see that Namgoong Min won despite being reversed 7 times? It’s always reversed!”
“Statistics prove that Namgoong Min’s victory is a double victory!”
Odds, 6:4.
Now, the relationship between husband and wife is about to be reversed.
Well, since they brought about something that should have been overturned long ago through instigation and postponement, enough blame has been pulled.
All that’s left is to advance to the finals.
Namgoong Min, who had made up his mind, glared at his opponent.
‘Luke Ebenstein.’
2Nd year .
As an Who is treated as a top-class human resource along with
Blacksmith even in non-combat occupations, there is actually no need to attend the academy.
But I heard that he went there because he wanted to.
‘Just be careful about ‘S skills.’
The Job skills that restore buildings and prepare the land are powerful, but they are never used for combat.
It takes a long time to cast, and you become defenseless while using it, so if you rush in or aim well with a sword throw──
“──Finally.”
“………?”
“It’s fate’s turn.”
Luke Ebenstein had a fairly ordinary impression.
An ordinary appearance, neither too ugly nor too handsome.
A reasonable height and a body with no special features.
As I was a second year student, I didn’t have much contact or encounter with Namgoong Min.
That’s why.
…… There was no reason to glare at me like that.
Luke Ebenstein laughed.
Kugugugugugu!
Gradually.
