chapter 7
***
“Simple?”
Looking at Glacier who asked the question, Cheonseong took a moment to catch his breath.
‘This is a chance.’
A chance that will never come again.
Right now, I have nothing.
A low attribute rating, a family you can depend on, or even your personal connections and funds…
there really is nothing
And as Glecia said, even if I, who was only a common, entered the academy, there was no bright future awaiting me.
No matter how hard I tried to die, it was obvious that I would go back and forth between the lower ranks.
‘But if there.’
If I could become friends with Glecia, who has unique characteristics… … .
What if we get close enough to be able to rely on Glacia?
Then my academy life changed completely.
I clearly remembered that there was a ‘joint class’ among the classes at the Grand Royal Academy.
Class A. B, classified as a kind of advanced class within the academy.
And there is always a test that the CD class, which is classified as a lower class, must take a group.
Since the episode where the main character, Leonhardt, goes through the first awakening is a joint class, I was able to recall all the details of the exam.
And the cause of the external joint class is harmony. Unity. Equality.
So that the person in the upper class does not become arrogant and arrogant. It is a kind of test to develop social skills.
Glecia, who is now an A-class. If only she and I could team up and get good grades.
It was like being able to get a high score that already surpassed other tests.
Because I have almost all knowledge about the exam.
In fact, my brain was like an academy cheat sheet.
He knows all the answers to the exam, but he lacks the strength to put it into practice.
That… Now, Glecia was able to fill it all up.
gulp.
Now, it was considered a great opportunity and another turning point in my life.
should do well here.
While organizing my thoughts, I met Glecia, who was waiting for my answer.
“Glacia. First of all, if you try to understand me in a short time, I’ll tell you that it’s close to impossible.”
“It is impossible to understand in a short time…”
“right. Instead, the method is simple. You can spend time with me. Like it or not, the more time you spend with me, the more you will naturally understand me.”
…as I spoke, my heart was pounding.
Will my words really work?
Or maybe it will work
As I continued the conversation with Glecia, who I thought was ignoring me just a moment ago, I realized that Glecia’s thoughts were different from her thoughts.
There is obviously no attitude that ignores me.

More than that, Glecia had a great ‘curiosity’ to me.
I don’t know why I’m confident and they want to understand me, but they want to understand me by expressing an apparently unusual interest.
He has a unique character, and he is so interested in me that he wants to talk to me first.
“… … .”
Glecia staring at me at my words.
saying we should be together. It was a kind of grounding because I couldn’t get to know her right away.
A word to extend the time you spend with her in the future.
So, if you want to understand me, you have to hang out with me.
The more time you spend together, the more opportunities you will have to get to know her.
“Should I… be with you?”
But when Glecia gave me a strange answer, I creaked and smiled.
“I understand that you may not like me because I am common. And yet, if you want to understand me, spending time with me is the closest to the answer.”
It was as if he was playing some kind of gamble while talking.
The probability is too low.
The possibility that the hand may float high.
A state of reliance on that very slim possibility.
In order to connect a woman with unique characteristics to me and somehow continue the relationship.
Still, I didn’t want to look like a rude person.
Even if the traits I had were common, everything was over when I became submissive.
Because Glecia is now interested in my ‘attitude’.
“Then how long do I have to be with you?”
Glecia’s answer, heard again, was close to a green light.
“I can’t decide how long it will take. It’s not for me to decide. glacia. It’s up to you to decide how long it will take you to understand me while you’re with me. And if you want to spend time with me, what do I do? I’ll make time for it.”
As I spoke, I refined my voice so that there was no earnestness in it.
It’s not that I want Glecia now.
I had to emphasize that Glecia wanted to be with me.
“… … .”
Glacier did not respond to my words.
strange eyes. Then he looked at me with eyes that couldn’t tell what was inside.
pounding.
Even as she looked at her, her heart continued to pound.
‘Accept it!’
please.
On the surface, it seems nothing is wrong. He maintained his calmness even in her gaze, but his insides seemed to burn.
I was filled with the same eagerness as when I received the characteristic test two months ago.
And soon I got an answer.
It’s an action, not a voice.
Shrek.
Glecia’s head slowly moving up and down.
That was positive.
I really managed to resist trying to talk to him in the first place.
I accepted that Glecia had to be with me.
Then, the time I spent with Glecia was more important than I am now.
Now, if I respond excitedly to her answer, the meaning of the attitude I used to adhere to will be lost.
“great. agaric. When I said I had to spend time with you to understand you… I understood. I will do that.”
“Glacia. If you answer that way, it seems like I’m asking you. That’s not it.”
He continued speaking as if he was gambling again.
I didn’t get permission to be with Glacia now.
For some reason, as if benevolent to Glacia, who tries to understand me, a place that I allow.
And I had to emphasize it and make Glacier clearly recognize it.
Such a second gamble moment.
Glacier looked at me very calmly.
“you. A little cheeky.”
He then smiles when he picks it up, but contrary to what he said, I could feel that Glacia wasn’t in a bad mood.
I was relieved that the gamble was successful, so I smiled and answered.
“Am I cocky? the words are weird Even if I get along with you, there’s no benefit to me, right? is not it?”
In fact, there are many benefits.
When I answered without changing her complexion, Glecia nodded as if she understood.
“What is that, too. Because now I want to know you… Okay then. From now on, I’ll make sure to pay all the costs of spending time with you. Is this enough?”
…I couldn’t help but be surprised by Glecia’s next words.
“that word. Really?”
“uh.”
Even as I looked at Glecia who responded immediately, I wondered what kind of luck this was.
‘Even though I’m saying this because I don’t know how much the academy costs.’
…that was a really outrageous statement.
No matter how often Glacia and I will meet in the future, living in the academy cost a lot of money.
Except for dormitory living, the academy pays only the basic living expenses.
All other rewards are paid for grades.
It was the ‘Grand Royal Academy’ that discriminated to the bone with thorough meritocracy and talentism.
That’s why it costs a lot of money to buy equipment or even basic food, whatever I do.
Glecia said she would pay all the expenses when she met me now.
gulp.
Without realizing it, I swallowed my saliva and tried not to raise the corners of my mouth to keep my composure.
‘…Crazy.’
Thinking to herself, Glecia suddenly looked much prettier.
I really thought she was a woman with an open-minded personality.
Since they made good suggestions on their own, I wondered if Glecia was this pretty, it was enough to see me again.
And I thought.
‘You must catch Glecia.’
At the same time, I must never make her understand me.
I made up my mind at this moment.

“Then, Glacier. See you at the exam room tomorrow.”
“okay.”
After Glecia’s short answer, the two parted at the cafe.
jerk.
jerk… .
Glecia, who had her eyes on the disappearing nature in the opposite direction, gently frowned.
‘Why is that man common?’
I couldn’t even understand that.
gracious.
He turned around and headed to the inn where he was staying, but he felt strange.
First, the biggest question has been resolved.
But what I couldn’t understand more was the feeling of overflowing my heart.
A person who completely contradicts my values.
That was the man named Han Cheon-seong.
The grade of a trait in this world usually represents the ‘value of a person’.
I’ve always thought so.

My unnie was the same, many of the people I saw were like that, and I too have the characteristics of a unique class.
In addition, in the case of high-ranking aristocrats or the imperial family, which is not easily seen, there were many cases with high characteristics.
Conversely, it was common for commoners to have common traits.
Of course, even commoners could be endowed with high characteristics.
They are the ones who will rise to higher positions in the future. He could be seen as the chosen one.
But the man I broke up with a while ago.
The man named Han Cheon-seong was so strange.
Talking and acting, even though we had only been together for a while, the feeling was completely different from that of a normal common-class person.
Even the depth of thought is different.
However, the characteristics endowed with a man set the value of that man too low.
– Common.
The lowest rank among the traits.
“…”
…If you dig deep, the potential of the spear skill is not even that high.
Although there are really ‘very few’ that have a reputation for being a low-ranking common. It was proof that none of them had a spear.
“…I don’t know any more.”
Why does that man have common-grade traits?
Was the value that I had been thinking that the grade of the trait was a person’s value is distorted?
While thinking about it, I looked forward to the moment we met again tomorrow.
Tomorrow is the day when the results of each class will be revealed.
‘What class will that man be assigned to?’
