The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 102



End of Term (1)

[What are you doing later tonight?]

“….”

This is the training hospital of Han-yul Military Academy. Min So-eun could hardly take her eyes off the smartphone screen.

At the same time, her fingers were heading towards [Send]….

“Haah….”

Her hand stopped midway. She had failed to send the message.

She had failed once again.

“It’s just sending a text… why do I keep hesitating…?”

Today marked the end of the first semester academic schedule. It was also the day all exams concluded.

In other words, it meant the end of term.

“Ugh…!”

To celebrate the end of term, Min So-eun planned to have a small gathering. The invitee was Shin Yoon-seong.

She attempted to send a message suggesting they grab a light dinner together, but….

It wasn’t as easy as she thought. She had already been struggling in front of her smartphone for several hours.

“It was fine when I was handing out lunch boxes….”

It was literal. It was still okay when I made and gave him a lunchbox.

Shin Yoon-seong liked lunchboxes quite a bit. I knew well that Shin Yoon-seong wouldn’t refuse a lunchbox.

But inviting him to a meal is different from a lunchbox. It’s almost the same as getting rejected for a date.

The moment you get rejected, it’s over.

“….”

That’s why Choi So-eun was hesitating to send the message. Because there was a chance of being rejected.

Especially since the last confession was glossed over, she had to be even more careful. Imagine if the date invitation gets rejected here. The damage from that would be indescribable.

“But if I stop here… I’ll stay in the same place forever….”

Isn’t there an old saying? Love starts with courage and confidence.

You shouldn’t be afraid of something that hasn’t even happened yet.

You have to push more aggressively.

That’s how you can win love.

“Ugh….”

Once again, she brings her hand closer to the [Send] button. If she just closes her eyes and moves her finger, everything will be over.

The moment she sends it, she can be free. She can be liberated from her worries. She won’t have to agonize like she is now.

After that, it’s solely up to Shin Yoon-seong to decide.

“Senior!”

“Ahhh…!”

While she was focusing on her smartphone, someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind. At the same time, Choi So-eun’s arm flinched.

In the end, she pressed [Send]. Not by her own will, but by someone else’s.

“Huh? Senior, what’s wrong? You’re suddenly sweating. Are you sick?”

“….”

What should I do?

What should I really do?

If I get rejected again this time.

I don’t have the confidence to hold my head up anymore….

*

I got the spoon I had entrusted to Yoo Ji-woo back a while ago. It took exactly three days to complete.

“A heat sink.”

To solve the overheating problem caused by overclocking, a heat sink was installed on the spoon.

I didn’t add any cumbersome attachments. I just overlaid a coating film on the spoon.

Jiwoo Yoo explained that this alone would be enough to control the temperature.

Well, if a genius engineer says so, there’s no need to doubt it.

“Then….”

Finally, one semester has ended. During that time, I cleared various quests, gathered many skill points, and acquired various skills.

How much have I changed from the beginning?

I decided to check it out myself.

─── Andvari ───

Grade: Unique

▶ Active Skill [Unlocked]

▶ Passive Skill [Unlocked]

▶ Function [Unlocked]

Available SP Points: 3

*This item is bound to this character!

───

When I first picked up the spoon, all the active, passive, and function skills were locked. But now, they are all unlocked.

And there are even 3 available points left.

─── Andvari ───

▶ Active Skills

[Telekinesis Lv.1]

[Overclock Lv.1] – New!

[???]

[Reflection Lv.2]

───

First, I looked at the active skills. I could see that Overclock naturally took its place in the empty slot.

From noble mtl dot com

This means that Overclock can be used permanently, not just once.

───

▶ Passive

[Heat Sink] – New!

[Lightweight]

Next is the passive. There’s nothing special about passive skills. The only new addition this time is the heat sink.

▶Functions

[Enlargement]

[Blind Side]

[???]

[???]

[Symmetric Output]

Lastly, the function slots. These are auxiliary skills that help in addition to active skills. You can just think of them as options.

“I have a total of 3 points, huh.”

There’s no reason to save skill points since I have plenty. Let’s enhance the skills right away.

First, I decided to upgrade telekinesis, which I use the most.

Telekinesis is quite useful not only in combat but also in daily life.

[Telekinesis Lv.1 -> Lv.2 achieved!]

[Telekinesis Lv.2 -> Lv.3 achieved!]

I raised the telekinesis level from 1 to 3 in one go. I should be able to move more precisely and carry heavier objects.

“Let’s see….”

Since I leveled up, it’s time to test its performance.

I enlarged a spoon and used telekinesis to lift it to waist height. Then, I got on the spoon.

“Hmm.”

It’s a bit precarious, but it’s good enough to ride the spoon around.

I’ve made a lot of progress compared to the beginning.

“I did it! I really did it!”

At that moment, someone sat on the spoon handle. Suddenly, an enormous weight was added.

Thud─!

Of course, the spoon couldn’t withstand the weight. It sank immediately.

“Gah…!”

At the same time, I fell backward.

What kind of guy is this? To suddenly press down a spoon like that. This is no ordinary weight class. Isn’t he at least middleweight or higher?

I confirmed the existence.

“Hmm? Mega Boob Monster? Indeed, there was a reason for that.”

“Could you please leave out the ‘mega’ in front? No, before that, could you do something about the Boob Monster…?”

“Got it. Let me correct that. A perverted underwear thief has appeared.”

“Eek…!”

Did a bad memory come to mind? Arna frowned deeply. White steam even rose from the top of her head.

She looked ready to grab me and hit me at any moment.

“Phew….”

But she didn’t actually make a move. Arna was calming her heat with deep breaths.

“So, what’s going on? Mega Underwear Thief.”

“…Whether it’s a Mega Boob Monster or a perverted underwear thief, just pick one. What’s with that?”

“Sure. PervertedUnderwearThiefMegaBoobMonster.”

“What do you mean by combining them into one…!”

Ha! In the middle, Arna jolted up. She realized the conversation had gone off track.

“Ahem!”

Arna cleared her throat to change the atmosphere.

Then, with a bright smile, she continued speaking.

“Hehe, I finally did it!”

“What did you do? Did you level up or something? From middleweight to heavyweight? Then it’s a Heavy Boob Monster.”

“Not that! It’s my personal tactical evaluation! I just cleared the S difficulty and was on my way back!”

What? She came all this way just to brag about that? I thought something significant had happened with all the fuss.

Anyway, she had worked hard, so a compliment wouldn’t hurt.

“Is that so? That’s quite impressive news.”

“What’s with that bland reaction….”

Does Arna know? The reason she was able to pass the evaluation was all because of me.

Thanks to me struggling through quests, Arna was able to grow.

Sure, she must have put in some effort, but my contributions were quite significant.

You can tell just by looking at this. Arna, who had been holed up in the training facility for days, cleared the evaluation overnight. And that was right after she had stolen my underwear.

If you need any adjustments or further elaboration, feel free to ask!

What could this mean? It means that the stats that came in as compensation at that time had a significant impact on completing the evaluation.

Anyway.

As a result, Arna is steadily growing. Watching Arna become stronger like this made me feel a sense of pride.

Of course, I have no intention of expressing it outwardly.

Because I am the villain who has to torment Arna.

“Ugh… I came to tell you this news first…”

“Hmm? What did you just say? I was lost in thought for a moment and didn’t hear.”

“Never mind! I didn’t say anything!”

Ding─!

At that moment, a notification sound rang from somewhere. It was the sound from a smartphone.

For the record, it wasn’t my smartphone. It was Arna’s smartphone.

Ding─!

Ding─!

The sound didn’t stop at once but rang several times. It is still ringing incessantly.

“Look! My Instagram is going crazy!”

Arna confidently held out her smartphone.

Arna’s Instagram was blazing hot, having heard the news from somewhere. All the messages were congratulatory. She wasn’t famous for nothing.

“…”

On the other hand, unlike Arna, my smartphone remained silent as always…

Ding─!

Another notification sound rang. This time, it wasn’t from Arna’s smartphone.

It was from my smartphone.

“Hmm?”

What impeccable timing. Still, you comfort me. You proved here that I am not a lonely person without a single friend.

“Who is it?”

Was it curious that the sound came from my smartphone? Arna stuck close to me to check who the message was from.

Well, it’s obvious who it is.

Rashid.

Jiwoo Yoo.

Taehun Kang.

If not that, then Hanbit Kim.

If not even that, maybe a tattooed thug?

I took out my smartphone without much expectation.

And checked the message.

[What are you doing this evening?]
