58 – 13. Skill Thief
To conclude, Lily Whiterose’s reappointment as student council president was virtually confirmed.
Kim Ha-neul officially announced her resignation due to personal reasons.
Prince Kim Seong-il also expressed her resignation after her ‘conversation’ with Lily and sent her a declaration of her support.
Now tomorrow is election day, and candidates must have registered at least three days in advance, so Lily Whiterose, the only candidate in the student council president election, is guaranteed to be reappointed.
So, if I just waited until tomorrow, everything would be resolved.
“Please, fortune teller.”
What is this guy?
From Noble mtl dot com
I answered Lucas with a smile while hiding my clenched fist under the table.
“Mr. Lucas, what do you mean by love interest…?”
“I know, it must be hard to believe.”
Are you asking this knowing that?
You hated Lily so much during your first class in the mountains, right? She freaked out as soon as she saw her, didn’t she?
But why are you coming out now and saying that you actually like it? … !!
“It may be presumptuous to say this, but from what I remember, Mr. Lucas didn’t seem to like the student council president very much.”
“That’s right.”
“But are you feeling better now?”
“Yes.”
You want me to believe that??
Lucas clears his throat, probably sensing my absurdity, and avoids my gaze.
No, don’t look away and explain.
“Actually…There was someone else I liked.”
“Who are you? Mr. Liu?”
“Well, Liu is right too… but it was her immature love before I met her.”
Oh, you sound very relaxed.
But as far as I know, you were single from birth?
Even if you proudly talk about immature love and all that, you won’t kick the blanket?
“Then…?”
“She was originally a classmate with beautiful black hair, but unfortunately she had a boyfriend. She was a little upset at the moment, but she soon gave up.”
I think he became passionate after finding out that you had a boyfriend?
If you look at Amman, he is a meritocrat and all, but Lucas seems like he is the most 20-year-old.
He’s full of energy, somewhat immature, and trying to take his time, just like a 20-year-old student.
But isn’t that the case for me too?
Only Lucas and I are normal here.
“While I was so heartbroken, Lily Whiterose came to me and comforted me.”
“Up… You mean the student council president?”
I think that crazy b*tch would just tell him to train his body and say, ‘If you’re a knight, you can get rid of depression through training!’
But you still knew how to comfort me?
“Yes, he advised me, ‘Instead of being depressed, why not shake off that sadness through discipline?'”
…… I don’t know how to do it.
How is it exactly as expected?
The real Lily is a legend………
“As I followed her example and trained her… My heart started pounding to my shame.”
“……….”
Isn’t it just because it’s difficult?
“However, it may have been when she despised her in the past, but now that she has realized her love, it has become difficult and reluctant to approach her.”
“So…”
“So, I decided to borrow the power of divination. Please, give me a love divination…!”
Well, from what I heard, I understand roughly what it is.
Lucas, I can sense that you are somewhat desperate.
“Mr. Lucas.”
“I’ll give you as much bokchae as I want! So please!”
“Don’t you know that we have a test at the Great Lakes next week?”
“…? Of course.”
“Do you remember the last time I was banned from survival before the test even started?”
“…No way.”
“No way, no way.”
Actually, there has been no ban or anything like that yet.
Ah, the academy said that, what are you going to do?
Honestly, both the prince and you are giving me a headache from talking about love divination!
“Well, then…”
“The point… I’ll look at it after the test is over.”
“Thank you, thank you so much!”
Lucas Arthur looks as if the world is falling apart, but he quickly feels relieved and holds my hand and shakes it vigorously.
Rain, take your brother with you.
‘No, but why are you doing this to me?’
Is this also karma?
I should just say that I don’t see any love points or anything like that.
But what can I do with the seeds I have sown? I have no choice but to accept them calmly.
…… But there is just one thing that makes me anxious.
“Hey, Mr. Lucas.”
“Hmm?”
“What if, really, what if… There is a rivalry competing for the position of student council president? What would you do?”
“……Hmm.”
Even if I just think about it, I can’t understand the tastes of the prince and the sorcerer, but it’s also not possible for me to tell them to get involved in their affairs.
You can intervene through love points, but it is impossible to break love itself.
Then we must consider the worst case scenario.
‘There is one woman, but two men.’
Even just thinking about cancer is a catastrophe.
So, Kim Seong-il and Lucas, one of them must be capable of making concessions……
“We will fight.”
“…Yes?”
“The profession of , The status as the legitimate eldest son of the Arthur family, the companies and property in my name, my social reputation in Europe… I will mobilize everything to defeat that nemesis.”
“……………….”
“Ha! Attack anyone. This Lucas Arthur, he will never avoid a fight or back down!”
……… Hmm.
Let’s keep the prince’s love interests and dates a secret.
‘Actually, maybe this is all because of moles.’
I have a headache, so let’s just leave it at that.
Today too, reasonless hatred overtook the store.

“You know, the test is tomorrow.”
Just like the first day, there was a class to run towards the goal in the mountains.
Thanks to Liu, Rain, and the princess, we cleared the course without any problems this time, just before leaving school.
Instructor Scarlett Redfield approached with a smile.
“Namgoong Min, what is the theme of this test?”
“According to what was predicted in advance, it is ‘survival’.”
“That’s right. This test at the Great Lake… Will be different from survival. You can look forward to it.”
Instructor Redfield is smiling sinisterly somewhere.
It’s really scary to smile like that with a face covered in scars.
“Liu Yen, have you decided on the artifact to take in advance?”
“I already reported this to the academy.”
“Okay. Lane Arthur, are you ready?”
“Of course.”
“The princess…”
“Just enough that you don’t need to worry.”
“hahahaha! Think of it as an old man’s tact. Lastly, Namgoong Min.”
“Yes.”
“Are you ready…?”
Scarlett Redfield’s sharp gaze penetrates me.
I guess I keep an eye on it because I attract aggro every time I take a test.
Honestly, I don’t think this exam itself is important.
“I’m not very confident.”
“Hmm?”
“I guess I’m not that good at it…”
In fact, it may be better to fail quickly in this exam, so it would be better to throw some rice cake in advance.
Actually, what I will be evaluated for is ‘divination’ and ‘incitement’, so it would not be strange for me to show weakness in this test with survival as the motif.
So, don’t show confidence and don’t worry about me for no reason……… For a moment.
“……………….”
“……….”
“……………….”
“……………….”
“……?”
What is it, everyone?
Why is it suddenly quiet?
I couldn’t understand what was happening, so I turned my head to Liu who was standing next to me, and Liu, who had a puzzled look in his eyes, said with a shocked expression.
“…Are you serious?”
“Mr. Liu, I am always sincere.”
“Well, I can only see a future where you lie and shame yourself for being eliminated again?”
Oh, you have a criminal record.
I forgot about the romance between the prince and Lucas.
“hahahaha, that time was special, so don’t worry too much.”
“Ha…You fortune teller.”
Liu laments.
“Nam Goong Min… I believe that… Uh.”
Rain still stutters in the affirmative.
“Well, from Namgoong Min’s perspective, he just planned his tactics well.”
“Princess, why did you sleep with me…?”
“Hmm, hmm!”
The princess treats him in a strangely gentle manner.
‘…… Now that I think about it, it’s very different from the first time.’
Once again, I remembered the time when I had to take a special test during the entrance exam.
At that time, I was suspected and despised by everyone.
Being interrogated by Liu.
Being threatened by Rain.
I was threatened by the princess.
After overcoming all the difficulties, I was finally able to come this far.
‘Is this too sentimental?’
The first semester of the first year isn’t over yet, so why not? There is nothing more satisfying than looking back at what I have accomplished.
It’s not just these three female students.
Saints are called comrades.
I became a good friend with Lucas.
I bought favor from the prince.
Charles Teddy Bear is thankful.
Aileen Teddy Bear is showing me more favor than I deserve.
‘Is this all friendship?’
Friendship. It seemed like a pretty good word.
It’s such a shame that I never experienced it when I was a student.
“Mr. Liu.”
“Huh?”
“Thank you, everything. Always.”
“…Hmph! Fortune teller, have you finally found out about my grace? Then you should just follow me!”
“I want to be Mr. Liu’s friend rather than a friend.”
“W-what!? This friend of the rich man Liu Yan thinks it’s easy!?”
“Of course it will be difficult, but because it is that difficult, I want to become even more successful.”
“……………….”
“Can I do it?”
“…I saw you doing it.”
Liu turned his head calmly. Because of that, he couldn’t see her face.
But I was satisfied.
Because she seemed close enough to her.
“……Hmm, this old man spoke a lot. You can leave school now.”
“Thank you, Mr. Liu, I will go down first.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah!”
“See you all at the exam tomorrow!”
Going down the mountain. Still on her mountain, only Liu, who turned her head, and Rain and the princess, who became quiet at some point and looked at her, are probably the only ones left.
Class ended somewhat late today.
Now I don’t have time to prepare anything more for the exam.
“…Ah.”
When I returned to the base and laid down on the bed, I suddenly remembered something I hadn’t done yet.
“Job skills.”
As expected, Lily Whiterose became the student council president.
And naturally, the job quest Was also cleared.
There are two rewards for this annoying quest name.
One was strengthening job skills.
[Enhance job skills! -＞
A fortuneteller can see the fortunes of a specific object through tarot and physiognomy.
The fortune teller has a unique stat ‘Hit Rate’ that shows the probability that the fortune will be correct!
* The fortune teller has a base hit rate of 13% -＞ 14%.
* When reading fortunes through ‘Tarot cards’, the hit rate increases by +7% -＞ +8%!
* When you see a fortune through ‘contemplation’, the hit rate increases by +7% -＞ +8%!
* Additional hit rate increases by 5% only for targets that have been fortune-telled multiple times!
Current hit rate: 14%]
‘Are you just making fun of me openly?’
The job quest wasn’t that difficult, but increasing it by 1% was seriously crossing the line.
However, the job skill name was changed from To .
‘Now I can’t use it in front of other people…’ ….’
How can the skill be named ?
Why do I have to shout out the skill name to use it? What a f*cking game.
All games made by my younger sister are like that.
…… And what I didn’t understand even more was the other compensation.
[
The water in a glass kettle is transparent and cannot be seen.
The same goes for your future.
* This is an artifact exclusive to the occupation ! You can call it when you want!
* You must meet 3 conditions to use it! Conditions are open when you act like a fortune teller!
* Cannot be used as a regular kettle!]
‘What should I do?’
Now look at how they even hide the conditions.
It cannot even be used like a regular kettle, so it is only used for ornamental purposes.
The only advantage is that you can summon it right away if you want, even if you are far away.
Even so, there is no way to use the kettle as a weapon, so there is no answer.
It was such a hopeless quest clearing reward.
‘Let’s write it.’
The plot I knew is changing, and even character events are changing.
It was clear that I would need job skills just to stay at this academy, let alone get to the ending.
Although I was skeptical, I got up from the bed.
“.”
More than that, who decides the name of this skill?
If it’s up to you, Jisoo, know that you’ll get another hit.
Charralalak.
Tarot cards fall from the air, and I roughly catch them and shuffle them.
If it’s a question, I have something in mind in advance.
“.”
It is a job skill whose performance becomes questionable the more you use it, but there is one thing I have found out.
The question is, the more detailed the question is, the better.
From Noble mtl dot com
Abstract questions such as Are answered incorrectly, just like when using a job skill for the first time.
If the content is limited in detail, correct results can be obtained, such as when predicting the fate of Wang Fei.
The problem is that the probability of being correct is less than 1 in 3.
After asking the question, shuffle the cards again, roughly draw three cards and turn them over.
“Hmm…”
In the right direction, In the right direction, In the reverse direction.
What these cards mean……
[Job skill Completed!
Foreign content:
Progress of points: In the forward direction, In the positive direction, In the reverse direction.
Consequences of divination: something unexpected happens right from the start! People who wouldn’t normally cooperate will cooperate! But don’t worry, you’ll finally be released and you’ll be able to breathe!
Probability of the result of fortune telling being carried out as is: 24% (basic 14% + 8% using tarot cards + 2% fortune teller’s gloves bonus)]
“…It’s exactly what I thought.”
In the right direction means ‘something unexpected’, In the right direction means ‘cooperation’, and In the reverse direction means ‘barely released’.
Of course, this is also a common interpretation, and each person who sees it has a different interpretation, so I was curious to see how it would come out, but it is the same.
It seems like other noble families were added…… Well, anyway, let’s be thankful that the results came out normal.
But this.
‘Are you saying I’m cooperating? Or other students? What else is being released?’
This is the problem with dots.
Because of the taboo of fortune-telling, I cannot tell myself, so I have to fortune-tell on the test itself, but then I have no way of knowing who will cooperate and who will be released.
Moreover, this is also a 24%, 1 in 4 chance.
It’s a long-awaited job skill, but it only makes my head hurt more.
“…I just don’t know.”
It didn’t help, but the more I use it, the more it outlines, so I guess that’s a good thing.
Okay, let’s trust our friends.
No matter what happens, we can overcome it with the friendship we have built here.
“If possible, let’s get the best score possible.”
Although Is more important than the exam, my grades are good so there is nothing wrong with it.
I closed my eyes, vaguely imagining a wonderful future.
I hope that my efforts and relationships will shine.
*
“Rein Arthur! This is a temporary alliance!”
“Mr. Liu, I still haven’t forgiven you!”
“Move in accordance with my attacks!”
“What are you talking about? You match my superpower!”
The long-awaited exam day.
When the spectacular survival game in the Great Lakes finally begins──
“I will participate too.”
“Princess?”
“Princess!?”
“It’s a temporary alliance this time, follow me and get the timing right!”
“Just don’t disturb me!”
“Mr. Liu, what kind of nonsense are you talking to the princess!”
“Let’s stop fighting for now, let’s go right away! Three, two, one!!”
Quaaa!
──Exactly 10 seconds later.
“Namgoong Min, eliminated!”
“……….”
The fortune teller who was betrayed by friendship and fate was eliminated.
It was an auspicious first elimination.
“This may be a rather dangerous combination.”
“…Saint?”
“I tried it once. It’s refreshing to see the fortune teller flying.”
“……………….”
