Episode 103. End of Month Rating (2)
Yuri let out a laugh.
His gaze seldom fell off John’s score.
‘Anyway, this crazy inspiration… … .’
This made it clear that John’s eccentricity wasn’t a result of his age.
‘That old man was just like that since he was young.’
Looking at John’s achievements, I couldn’t help but think that way.
1st place/ 2nd period/ Johann Redner/ Cumulative 1st place 60 times/ 999,999,999
The amount was just 1 point short of 1 billion.
Yuri, who saw that, was convinced.
‘This perverted old man… There were unconditionally more points.’
However, it must have been made like that on purpose to make the number 9 number 9.
Yuri could have staked all of her fortune on that fact.
‘By the way, 900 million… No, one billion.’
It was a truly absurd number.
The point of second place right after Yohan is about 300 million.
Of course, 300 million is a lot, but the difference between him and John was too great.
‘What is this, it’s overwhelming.’
Yuri imagined what 1 billion points would be like.
However, I couldn’t easily imagine how I could collect that many points.
Of course, if I monopolize everything like Animal Crossing this time, I might be able to collect 1 billion someday… … .
‘Isn’t that what I spent and raised with the remaining points is 1 billion?’
Can you collect 1 billion while consuming points at places like special stores?
One billion was a far-fetched score.
‘Perhaps the cradle the old man went to and the cradle now are different in many ways.’
It’s been 48 years.
In the meantime, there will be things that existed in John’s time and do not exist now.
What didn’t exist then may be new now.
As a result, it was clear that the difficulty of collecting points would have changed somewhat compared to 48 years ago.
However, the fact that Yohan has been holding the No. 1 position for decades since his graduation proves that that record is not an ordinary one.
Realizing this, Yuri became strangely annoyed.
‘this… Something is coming.’
It was strangely disapproving that that old man was proudly ranked first in the Hall of Fame.
‘If I complete Cradle like this… … .’
At that time, you will become the junior of the old man.
But what if you’re not number one?
Later, when we met outside, I had a clear picture in my head of how John would come out.
[Fun? how many backs? Tsk, if you want to have a conversation with this No. 1, get down on your knees and crawl from there.
Obvious.
If it’s that old man, I’ll tease him like that until he dies of old age.
A catastrophe happens during a disaster.
At this, sparks flew in Yuri’s eyes.
‘never… I die with a knife in my mouth, I will never see that!’
If so, there is only one way.
‘I have to bring down that old man.’
I will bring down Yeongam-taeng and take first place myself.
And later, after completing the course, I will make fun of the older brother.
‘certainly!’
It was the moment when a small but important goal was added to Yuri.
Yuri, who was aiming for the first place in the Hall of Fame, clenched her fists tightly.
‘First of all, you have to fill the cumulative first place count 60 times.’
Inside the top 10 in the Hall of Fame, there was no one who did not have a cumulative number of first place 60 times.
That meant, from the time I entered the cradle to the time I left, I never missed a single place.
So, in order for Yuri to bring Yohan down, he had to first rank first in the evaluation at the end of this month.
So Yuri’s troubles began again.
‘hmm… Then how many points should I bet?’
How many points will Arin and Poppy register?
How many points do I need to register at least to be sure to take first place?
Yuri stood still and pondered for an hour.
“good.”
Having finally made up his mind, he headed to the place where he registered his points.
Yuri’s eyes were full of confidence.
* * *
That night.
Yuri came back after registering the evaluation points at the end of the month.
He practiced, ate, and lived as usual before entering the residence to rest.
And I happened to look at myself in the reflection of the floating water bowl.
Hair that has grown to the point where it is thought to be short.
Even the long bangs that almost cover the eyes.
Thanks to that, all I could see was the tip of my nose and my jawline.
If it was normal, I would have just passed by casually.
But suddenly, Yuri had an idea.
‘I’ve been wandering around like this.’
I’ve been so busy that I couldn’t even get my hair done.
No, I haven’t really felt the need to do that until now.
But today something was different.
‘Tomorrow, my name will be known even in my 50th class.’
Yuri was confident that he would win first place.
If that happens, everyone in the 50th class will know themselves tomorrow.
‘Of course, it doesn’t have to look good to them.’
What Yuri cares about is the ‘first moment’ they will remember.
time goes by
Those who know their name will spread to all parts of the world.
Because of them, the name ‘Yuri Holland’ will also spread widely throughout the world.
Therefore, maybe tomorrow will be the first moment when the name ‘Yuri Holland’ is known to the world.
‘I can’t appear in a place like this with a face like this.’
Having made up her mind, Yuri picked up her sword.
A blade that slowly approaches your face.
Creeping-.
Every time the pure white sword moved, black hair fell to the floor.
* * *
The morning of January 31st.
The end-of-month evaluation was a monthly event that not only the 50th class but also the jockeys who were in the cradle could not avoid.
Especially the day the death sentence falls for some.
Of course, that was a story only applicable to those who stayed in the lower ranks.
This did not apply to someone of a higher rank like Thearesia.
‘Today is the end of the month evaluation.’
Thinking of that, Thearesia’s face, which stood up, looked so peaceful.
I didn’t know if some would think that was the leisure of the 49th class chief.
But in fact, Thearesia was not particularly interested in the fact that she was the chief.
All she cares about is improving her own capabilities.
After working hard for that, I was lucky to be in the top position.
To Thearesia, this morning’s training was more important than the end-of-month evaluations that would be a few hours later.
Therefore, as soon as she woke up, she took up her spear and headed straight for the training ground.
To enjoy the leisure of wielding a spear in an empty training ground.
however… … .
Hung- Hung-.
Today, there was a passenger who came before her.
A dark-haired boy wielding a sword with his back to the entrance.
‘You came out early today.’
In this rift, there was only one person who would use the training ground before him.
In response, Thearesia lightly pretended to be ignorant.
“I came out early… … .”
No, I was trying to pretend to be an egg.
If you haven’t seen the face of the other person who has turned to you.
“… … ?!”
Surprised, Thearesia raised her spear at once and pointed it at her opponent.
“who is this! How did you get in here!”
At Thearesia’s threat, the boy said as if he was dumbfounded.
“What did you eat wrong? What are you talking nonsense about in the morning, Tessa-senpai?”
Very harsh and bad language.
It was a voice all too familiar to Thearesia’s ears.
At this, Thearesia tilted her head.
“you… … ?”
“Did you not wake up? Go and wash your face. Or do you want to come to your senses and have a light sparring match?”
“ah… … ?”
“Ah, good! I wrote a favor today! With a special discount, we will take you half price!”
The boy did not answer his own question of who he was.
However, the words he uttered were enough to make Thearesia realize her true identity.
A small echo came from her mouth as she blankly looked at her opponent’s face.
“glass… Holland?”
It seems so hard to believe.
with a completely stunned voice.
hairy-.
The spear that fell from Thearesia’s hand rolled on the floor powerlessly.
* * *
11:50 p.m.
buzzing voices-.
Ahead of the month-end evaluation, the 50th riders gathered at the central bulletin board of the North Gate.
They sat in groups of twos and threes and chatted about the end-of-month evaluation.
“You, how many points have you registered?”
“You said you shouldn’t say that?”
“That was something you shouldn’t have said until yesterday, but you can say it today. And aren’t you going to announce it in a little while anyway?”
“It’s not like that. How long have you registered?”
“I didn’t do much. I’m running out of points to get food right now… … .”
“Actually, I am too.”
“So how much?”
“that is… … .”
How many points have you registered and how many have you registered?
The ones who talk about it.
and.
“If you are in the lower ranks, roughly how many ranks?”
“Well, wouldn’t it be roughly the bottom 10%? Has anyone heard of a more disadvantage than that?”
“Is it possible to pay a fine?”
“Or, the punishment room? In my family, if you had an accident, your father would put you in a punishment room.”
“you also? Did your parents tell you to stand facing the wall in the punishment room?”
“Your parents too? My parents are all alike.”
“By the way, who will be number one?”
“Of course that bobby… He must be a kid doing something.”
“Well, there’s no way I won’t be able to win first place with those points.”
Even those who talk comfortably about who will be number one and what the disadvantages will be.

Most of the 50th jockeys were not particularly nervous even though they were the first month-end evaluations.
This was the difference between the old riders and the newcomers.
The new jockeys were treating the end-of-month evaluation as nothing more than announcing test results.
It has been their old habit.
Because it was like that in their family.
It was because I thought I could do better next time if my grades went down.
Not even guessing about the upcoming storm.
Time passed like that.
11:55 a.m.
The time before the announcement of grades.
Arin climbed onto Poppy’s shoulder and looked around.
Poppy asked Arin on a wooden horse.
“hungry?”
“Can you see? no, i don’t see it Didn’t you run away?”
They were looking for someone a little while ago.
But the person they were looking for rarely showed up.
Less than 5 minutes left until the results were posted.
So naturally, what they thought of was, ‘Isn’t that glass guy running away?’
And right at that moment.
“Who are you looking for?”
A small voice came from close by.
Poppy slightly lowered her head at this.
He glanced at the face of the person who appeared next to him and turned his head up again.
That was my reaction when someone I didn’t know spoke to me.

Meanwhile, Arin, who climbed to a height of 2m 30cm, focused on finding Yuri and answered in a dry voice.
“There is, a bad guy who might have cheated and ran away.”
“hungry.”
Arin still looking around and Poppy nodding.
Then the voice came back.
“Are you sure the impostor isn’t talking about me?”
Only then did Arin realize that the voice he heard right away was a very familiar one.
“huh?”
Her gaze was directed downward.
“Huh?!”
At the same time, Arin’s eyes widened to the size of a lantern.
Bro had that unruly rizz after that haircut.
