Episode 37. Midterm evaluation (2)
Fabio explained to Dante.
“Team tournament genealogy. Do the Sky Island families see it?”
“Why… … .”
“Did you hear from the asshole? Last year’s third-place team.”
“no? I only heard about the 2nd place team. What about the third place team?”
“That team was originally a dream team. It’s something that only the children of prestigious families have gathered.”
“ah… … .”
“But they lost to the second place team in the semifinals. I did what I was supposed to do, but I was attacked by guerrillas. Maybe that’s why the rules changed this year. I will try to raise the noble families who use classic strategies to the first place.”
Dante did not quite understand Fabio’s intentions. The Morone family is also ranked 16th. Are you prestigious?
However, Fabio did not join the Dream Team, teamed up with Alicia, and even passed on his genealogy to himself.
Fabio continued.
“I didn’t like that. Family is more important than skill, and people who have worked hard to come up with their own strength are suppressed with power.”
“But can you give me this?”
“Look at it and burn it. Understand? If I get caught, my father will kill me. really.”
“Do not worry. I’ll chew it up until there’s not even ashes left. Thank you very much, senpai.”
“It is not given for free. I will run for student president election soon. You know even if I don’t say it, right?”
There is usually an election for the student body president right before summer vacation. Only sophomores can run, and they will serve as president for one year, from the second semester of the sophomore year to the first semester of the third year.
“yep! Let go of your worries! I will cast my precious vote.”
Dante knows that the student council president election is an excuse. I guess I was afraid that giving it away for free would be burdensome.
If Jeremy Meyer gained overwhelming support from women, Fabio Morrone was a cool senior even to men.
for a moment.
But surely Alicia won’t run for president either?
‘For the future of our school, we should vote for senior Fabio, cancer.’
“But why are you giving it to me?”
“First day of class.”
“… … yes?”
“I thought you wouldn’t come out to play basketball that day. Actually, we even made a bet with each other back then. 4:1. I was the only one who won some money by betting on ‘Come Out’. That’s why I give it.”
First night of class. Most of the children went to bed around 11:00 and barely woke up the next morning just before training. It was the result of sleep capsule analysis.
Kids like June Maury and Roger Meyer got three hours of sleep. Dante was the only one who woke up after only two hours of sleep.
“and… … You even made a bet? how much did you get? Maybe you should hang out with me?”
“You can’t get that genealogy money, man.”
“i know. It’s a joke.”
“You don’t play around. For some reason, I can feel the scent of you.”
“It can’t be.”
“It was a joke at first, but now… … phew. Let’s not talk.”
Fabio told a few anecdotes about Alicia. Roughly summed up, it would be ‘how to avoid being suspended by an idiot from an eco-base and pick out the wrong things’.
From noble mtl dot com
It’s in front of the dormitory.
The air was damp and it seemed like it was going to rain.
“hey. But didn’t you tell Alicia? play basketball with me He said he was friendly.”
“I talked. so-so? I said so.”
“Oh yeah? then go in I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Yes, thank you, sir. Loyalty!”
Dante lay down in the sleeping capsule and flipped through the genealogy given to him by Fabio.
‘This strategy was written under the assumption that all five people could use magic bullets.’
The reason why Fabio handed over the genealogy didn’t mean that he had to follow it as it was. It means to watch and be prepared.
Fabio said:
“I didn’t like that. Families come first before skills, and people who have worked hard to come up on their own are suppressed with power. 」
Perhaps, in this evaluation, it may be the goal that the club site and yourself should take and press.
Even on the first day of the entrance ceremony, there was an atmosphere of displeasure at the fact that two ‘heard-of families’ were included in the third place.
‘ah… … It would be nice to be on the same team as the club.’
half past one in the morning.
It’s too late now.
I’ll have to send you a text message first.
[Me: Hey, the club site. me Dante Did you save my number? Call me when you wake up ]
A reply came right away from the club.
[Gudanji: I don’t sleep. why? ]
[Me: Then do you want to see me for a second? I have something to say. ]
[Gudanji: The entrance to the southern airship boarding area. ]
[Me: ㅇㅇ]
‘Truly mine. Do you really have to go that far to see it? It’s not like they’re dating secretly.’
South airship boarding area. It is a remote place where you do not have to go unless you have an emergency escape.
Dante changed into comfortable clothes and headed to the meeting place. The club had come first.
“what. have you been walking?”
“Oh no? run.”
“I came by cart. Did you arrive before me? Awesome, really.”
Under the deep hood, I could see the corner of Gudanji’s mouth slightly rising.
“hey. Wearing a hoodie and laughing like that is kind of creepy.”
“uh? that, right? uh… … .”
“It’s a joke, a joke. By the way, what are you going to do with your midterm team? I called to ask about it.”
There is a reason why I called him instead of texting him. because of hacking.
Citizens in modern society are easily invaded in the name of safety. Tens of thousands of micro drones monitor every move 24 hours a day.
This was also the cause of the anti-government force, the LNP. A government that monitors and controls people’s private lives while monopolizing information is trash. They described it as the ‘second coming of Big Brother’.
In addition, Floating Island is a micro-drone monitoring exclusion zone. At one time, the LNP and civic groups strongly protested, but the government did not change its policy. It was because the drones might break down the anti-monster defense system, including the Floating Island.
anyway. For one reason or another, Dante and Alicia used the cell phone given to them by Ray. In addition to designing multiple security protocols, an acoustic jamming system to prevent eavesdropping is also built. There was nothing to be hacked or eavesdropped on.
However, I didn’t know the situation at the club site, so I thought it would be better to meet and talk.
The club manager answered Dante’s question.
“That’s it. I have a team.”
“really? with who?”
“uh… … Courtney and… … .”
“it’s crazy?”
Dante involuntarily shouted.
You’re going to be on the same team as Courtney Zordic?
What are you thinking?
Dante took a moment to catch his breath before opening his mouth again.
“Sorry for shouting. no, i don’t understand why? You wouldn’t have told me first. Are they together?”
“uh… … so i After that, I might be left alone.”
It’s frustrating, this.
“You entered first class. anyway it is Who will leave 1st place behind until the end?”
“Is that so? I don’t know. I thought we could become friends just by asking to be on the same team… … is not it?”
“… … .”
The club manager secretly looked into Dante’s eyes and talked.
“Then if I turn it down, can I team up with you?”
ha.
difficult difficult
‘If you say yes and then refuse, they’ll be very f*cking crazy. Are you okay… … .’
what is the intention
The Zordic family ranks eighth in the hierarchy.
Among the current Stellar students, he was second only to the Meyer family.
“Do you know who the other team members are?”
“hmm… … . Twins and two blue headbands.”
‘Then, the twins are out of the Dream Team, and they’re pissed off and trying to win by siding with Gudanji? It’s not. Are you going to borrow the strength of the club that you cursed at because you were a bug?’
weird.
To be honest, I was a little tired and my head was not spinning. It looks like it will rain soon.
“The club. It’s too late today, so let’s talk again tomorrow. Don’t say anything to the Zordic kids. let’s go.”
When Dante turned around, the gudanji secretly grabbed Dante by the end of his sleeve.
“uh… … I wish we could walk together Don’t ride the cart.”
“okay. OK.”
I don’t even know
No, I have no idea.
I was afraid that others would see me, so I decided to see you from far away, so let’s walk together?
The two walked side by side.
“It’s my name club. There are many abandoned apartments outside the base. I was born there in Apartment Complex 9. So this is Korean, Gu Danji. this… … .”
“I see what you mean. You don’t have to explain at length.”
“huh… … .”
Gudanji smiled softly and continued.
“There are a lot of bad people out there. If I’m wrong, I don’t get scolded. hit my mom If the mother is not there, beat the younger brother. So don’t make friends here. twins are like that A bad person who hits me, hits my friends, and hits my friends and family.”
The Zordic family runs a private mercenary group. There are 3,000 superhumans working under them. It was similar in size to the Dolomite mercenary group, which was the largest in Charlie Base with a population of 10 million.
The Zordic mercenary corps also included two so-called S-class wizards. It was not a job to deal with the thorns in the eye so that neither mice nor birds knew about it.
When those without conscience seize power, many terrible things happen. much more than you think.
These were the things the team learned while living off-base.
“I am alone now. My mother and brother are dead.”
“But how did you get in here?”
“He helped. a kind uncle So I was able to come.”
It rains lightly.
Gudanji stopped walking for a moment and looked up at the sky. Eyes wet with raindrops glistened.
Dante also raised his head after her. Even though it was raining, the alarm did not go off here.
[ Detect Mana Pattern ]
The purification magic pattern struck by the rainwater sparkled hundreds of times per second. It seemed to be doing its job.
this place is good
I really like this place where I can complain about the scorching sun and not have to be afraid of the rain. I like now when I can be happy without forgetting that gratitude.
“I am alone too. He’s from Base Charlie. Someone like you helped me too. to come into this school.”
“We are similar. So… … i want to team up with you As long as you’re okay.”
“why?”
“hmm… … hmm… … Is it third place?”
“Good idea. How strong would it be if we ate the same portion as 1st and 3rd?”
“That, right? I will work very hard.”
I didn’t feel comfortable.
Should I say it feels like giving a child a piece of candy and then kidnapping him?
To be honest, it didn’t matter even if the club was not in the same team. By the way, the same team as the twins? It was like I couldn’t bear to see it.
“If you change your mind, tell me within this week. Instead, avoid twins whenever possible. They’re trying to take advantage of you.”
“You know, you know. But it’s better than having no one. so… … ? so.”
“You must be very lonely too. If you’re like me, I’d rather be alone than with those things.”
“uh… … .”
It’s in front of the dormitory.
The sight of a couple walking together sharing a small umbrella somehow clouded my mood.
“It’s all here. you will be very tired Go to sleep.”
“I’m fine. Only two hours of sleep.”
two hours?
“… … I have a question. Do you have any sponsors?”
“hmm… … Listen for a second.”
“ear?”
Gudanji reached out and pulled Dante’s ear. Then he whispered in my ear.
“The Meyer family. A secret between you and me! Good night then, haaa”
“Ugh, hey!”
The club complex disappeared into the dormitory at the speed of light.
“and… … I’m really dumbfounded. wind in your ears. why not?”
Suddenly, I remembered something Alicia had told me the other day. I heard there are a lot of crazy people in the academy, good or bad.
I don’t know which club site it is, but it’s certain that it’s not normal.
“and. Wow! What is it really?”
absurd and astounding
Besides, the sponsor is the Mayer family?
‘What’s going on?’
That’s what an academy is.
I don’t know.
If I thought more, it seemed like my brain would be overloaded. The glory of the past, which grew up listening to the sound of genius, collapses several times in a month.
and the next morning.
A text message came from the club.
[Gudanji: Sorry. I can’t team up with you I’m really sorry. ]
