Chapter 56
Chapter 56 – Quang!
What is perception?
If you think about it simply, it is simply being late, and if you think about it a little more deeply, it is being delayed or excluded from the schedule because you are late.
Of course, if you have an appointment, it can be said that arriving on time is the most basic of the basics.
Being late not only harms me, but also causes trouble to others.
There are several types of perception.
Starting with a simple oversleep, even though I wake up early, I stay late and sometimes late.
If you visit the hospital because you are sick and come back late, your sick body can be an excuse.
Rather, people worry about me, and I get compliments saying that I came out even though I was sick.
As such, there are various kinds of perceptions in the world.
Then, what is the most unfair perception in the world that cannot be blamed on anything else?
Perhaps it was the lateness of waking up early, making up my mind to go early today, and then falling asleep again without realizing it.
“Can’t you raise your arm straight?”
Lee Yoo-ra tapped the armrest of the chair with her finger as if she didn’t like it.
When I stretched out my slightly bent arm again, Lee Yoo-ra smiled happily as if she was satisfied.
My knee on which I am kneeling and the arms that are stretched up start to tingle little by little.
On top of her two hands, there was a chair that was so heavy and huge that it could be seen as a throne in a cartoon, and on top of it sat Lee Yu-ra, the homeroom teacher for Class A.
Yes. I am now being punished for arriving when I was in the middle of the 2nd period, not even the 1st period.
I don’t know how many minutes I’ve been in this state…….
To be honest, rather than holding the chair and Lee Yoo-ra was hard, it was more unbearable to see the students glancing at me as they passed by.
… Aren’t you ashamed of Lee Yu-ra?
If you’re like me, it would be embarrassing to sit on a chair that someone is holding and nagging you.
Lee Yoo-ra keeps nagging me from above, but honestly, she can’t even hear it.
I suppressed my embarrassment and quietly, as if I was listening, said, “Yeah… yes… …. I was wrong…….” Was repeated.
How many minutes do you plan to nag for just being late… ….
Around the time I was thinking about that, Lee Yoo-ra knocked on the chair as if it was over and sent me a signal to get down.
At that moment, the thought of throwing the whole chair down and putting it down crossed my mind, but I couldn’t.
Lee Yoo-ra’s physical abilities are in stark contrast to her childlike appearance.
She’s not in charge of class A for nothing.
Of course, even if I threw the whole chair, it wouldn’t hurt me at all…….
After that, I will be punished again.
Soon the 3rd period begins, I don’t want to suffer this kind of punishment again.
Not physically, but mentally…… It’s terrible.
If I go through the shame of being punished in front of other people, I might die.
When I gently lowered the chair to the floor, Yura stood on her feet and put her hands on her waist, then nodded her head in satisfaction.
…… Actually, you didn’t want to punish me, you just wanted to do it, didn’t you? Was tardiness just a justification?
Of course, I swallowed the desire to argue, bowed my back one last time, said sorry, and went back to the classroom.
In the hallway on the way back to the classroom, the sunlight coming through the windows is warm, yet moderately cool.
I see students playing pranks on each other or talking with serious faces.
Some drops of water are left as if someone spilled water in the hallway and didn’t clean it up, and some ballpoint pens roll around as if someone dropped it.
All of the students at this school are Awakeners who have just become adults.
The academy is a space full of vitality, enough to give you energy just by looking at it.
At the same time, I was also worried.
If something goes wrong and the students die, what expression will they make and what voice will they cry?
Dina couldn’t protect everyone even in [Outside] Where she maintained a bright atmosphere throughout.
There were definitely people dying outside of Dina’s sight, and in fact, Hyeyeon Yoon died right in front of her while trying to save her Dina.
Her heart grew cold as she remembered the cold death of Yoon Hye-yeon.
This world is never kind.
Rather, it is surprisingly unkind, unreasonable, and incomprehensible.
Even if a few superpowers who have reached the level of a superman cling to each other, they can barely deal with one of the four heavenly kings, and the demon king is of a different rank.
If they make up their minds and attack, the academy and humanity itself will perish.
Perhaps you could say the world is kind in that it doesn’t come right in.

If Dina moves in the same way as in [Oeyeongdeo], It can be said that at least some level of safety is guaranteed within the first part of the story.
But I don’t intend to just let the people who are going to die die.
I was thinking of moving to save Yoon Hye-yeon or some people who were about to die, but…….
Ever since she entered the academy, she kept whispering in her ear that she had been holding onto my ankles for some unknown reason.
Do you really think that would be enough?
This world is something different from the [Oeyeongdoe] I used to know.
Dina, who should have flirted with other people, is calm, and the date of the kidnapping in the labyrinth is different.
Since I’m the only irregular, it’s probably the butterfly effect of my actions, but I haven’t done anything special yet, but these big events are getting jumbled up.
The effect of the butterfly effect is greater than expected.
Every little thing I do causes a small wind, and it goes far and turns into a huge storm, messing up the development.
The order of events changes, and the difficulty becomes exponentially harder or easier.
Now that it’s like this, I can’t just rely on Dina.
Dina had a hard time even with the development that changed due to her actions in [Oeyeongdo].
It is a story that she can’t vaguely believe that Dina will do something as long as the development is severely twisted.
But is there anything I can do about it?
Of course, but not.
Dina also had trouble with her because of the butterfly effect caused by her own behavior, but what can I do if I don’t have anything better than Dina?
I just try to be as strong as possible and try to help Dina and block things from happening as much as possible.
I don’t let a single person die.
It is an impossible wish. To be honest, it is impossible to say lines like the main character in a boy’s cartoon, such as “I will save everyone!”
My only wish is to save even one more person. That’s all.
I am not the main character.
It’s not a hero who appears cool and takes care of monsters.
He is not a superhuman who can defeat the enemies that threaten humanity.
Much less, they are not residents of this world, they are just ordinary readers who have read the novel [Oeyeongdeo].
That’s why I don’t talk about nonsensical things that I can’t even keep to save everyone in this garbage world.
Perhaps I am still a stranger, but I am determined to live in this world. Determined to survive.
First of all, it’s only possible if I survive.
I just want to save the people within my reach.
It’s not long until the first boss invades the academy.
Since the labyrinth kidnapping incident, the security has become much stricter, but if the ‘Letricia siblings’ set her mind to it, she will be able to attack easily.
The purpose of the invasion in the first place was because of an order to check if there were some useful students, so it was a character who came in and made a fuss for a while and then left…….
In [Outside Play], It was said that quite a few students might have died if Dina hadn’t stopped them.
For some reason, the appearance of Dina I’ve seen so far is more sloppy than Dina from [Outside Young], So I’m honestly a bit uneasy.
In the worst case scenario, I might have to fight with the Letricia siblings.
You should prepare in advance.
First of all, let’s focus on sparring in the afternoon.
In order to save as many people as possible beyond me surviving, the most important thing is strength.
The stronger you become, the higher your chances of surviving, and the wider the reach of your hand, the more people you can save.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the classroom and sat down, and soon the bell rang, announcing the start of class.
Dalian is conducted as a joint class between Class A and Class S.
Since Scarlett and I, who were originally in Class B, were caught between them, the matchup will probably be different from what was shown in [Outside].
Please, it would be nice if I could grow a little bit more by sticking with someone who is similar to me or slightly above me…….
*
Dalian time is approaching, and now I am staring blankly at the bracket.
To be precise, I am only staring at the place where my name is written on the bracket.
“… ….”
[1. Han Siu VS Ipelsar Iruyen]
The first sparring was between me and Ifelsar.
Looking at Ifelsar, the opponent was frowning arrogantly as if dissatisfied.
Perhaps he doesn’t like the idea that a weakling is his opponent. Ifelsar enjoys fighting the strong.
But I’ve grown a lot during that time too?
To be honest, I thought that maybe if the story progressed a bit more, it would be worth a try if it was the current Ifelsar.
Basic specs have improved a lot, and new characteristics and new skills have been learned.
On the other hand, Ifelsar doesn’t seem to have grown much compared to last time.
Maybe this…… Might there be a possibility?
As soon as the beep announcing the start of the battle rang out, Ifelsar attacked.
I calmly responded by swinging my sword.
‘Oh. I can endure it more than I thought?’
Although it is being pushed back little by little, it is surprisingly worthwhile.
When I suddenly wielded a bloody blade, Ifelsar jumped back in surprise.
“hehehehe.”
I laughed at Ifelsar’s leaping back, like a startled lizard, and Ifelsar’s face contorted like a demon.
And in an instant, scales sprouted from Ifel Sar’s hand and his claws grew.
“Quang!”
It was developed.
… Right. He was a dragon.
