The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 92



There is No C in My Grades (1)

A scorching summer that couldn’t be endured without an air conditioner.

It was when I was cooling off in the lab with the air conditioner.

“Ugh! This junk computer! It crashed again!”

The owner of the laboratory, Jiwoo Yoo, who was fiddling with the computer, suddenly got angry.

Bang bang─!

While hitting the main unit.

“Please, just save me this time, you piece of junk! The deadline is right around the corner!”

Normally, Jiwoo Yoo would be enjoying a nap with his lab coat as a blanket by now.

“If I get an F because of this, are you going to take responsibility? Do you want to get a taste of the carrot? Should I sell you to a mining farm?”

But currently, Jiwoo Yoo was wrestling with the computer instead of sleeping.

The reason was simple. It was the final exam period. Jiwoo Yoo was creating a project to submit for the exam.

“Please, just hold on until the end of this final exam! You can do that much, can’t you?”

It seemed like help was needed. I put on my work gloves and stood in front of the computer.

“Let me try fixing it.”

“Huh? You? Even I can’t do it.”

It was a question of how a combat soldier could fix a problem that even the genius engineer Jiwoo Yoo couldn’t solve.

“I may not look like it, but I’m quite confident with computers.”

But I can do it.

Who am I? Before becoming the Spoon Fairy, I was the general director of a game company who rose from the bottom. From simple programming to computer repairs, it’s no problem at all.

Probably.

Rattle─

I carefully removed the case cover. And checked the condition of the internal components.

Bang─!

“What, what! What was that sound!”

A sudden explosion sound. Jiwoo Yoo was startled and looked inside the main unit.

“Ahhh! What did you do!”

“I just touched a few wires.”

“Then why is smoke coming out of the power supply! It’s blown up!”

Could it be a Cheongung power supply? Checking the brand, it doesn’t seem like it.

“Ahhh! The graphics card cable is melted too!”

“That doesn’t seem to be my fault.”

“Shut up!”

“Anyway, it’s an old computer. It was destined to die someday, it just happened a bit sooner, right?”

The computer itself probably hoped to end its life around this time.

There’s a time for everything, even death.

“What are you going to do now!”

“We can still take it to a professional service.”

“The submission deadline is right around the corner, where do we have time for a/s!”

Yoo Ji-woo was even angrier than when the computer crashed earlier. Not even a sausage bun could calm him down.

“Hey, it’s been annoyingly loud since earlier. Can’t you be quiet? I can’t concentrate.”

Kang Tae-hoon, who was lying on the sofa, spoke up. He was in the middle of playing a game on his smartphone.

Yoo Ji-woo gritted his teeth.

“Ugh. This is my lab, you know? And why do you guys always get on someone else’s bed without permission? Huh?”

“What kind of bed is this cheap sofa supposed to be? There’s a limit to nonsense.”

“Oh, seriously! Why do people keep increasing in this already cramped lab! Is this a club room or what!”

At some point, this lab had become a neighborhood shelter. Starting with me, then Rashid doing push-ups over there, and even Kang Tae-hoon had laid down.

Oh, and sometimes Kim Han-bit comes by too.

“No! That’s not the important thing right now! The computer! What do we do about the computer?”

“Just buy a new one.”

At Kang Tae-hoon’s casual suggestion, Yoo Ji-woo frowned.

“Do you think our ancestors will pay for it? Do you know how expensive computers are these days!”

“Is it more expensive than a car?”

“Wow, the rich kid really has no filter, huh? If you’re not going to buy it for me, then be quiet… huh?”

Yoo Ji-woo’s eyes widened at the black card Kang Tae-hoon held out.

“W-what’s that…?”

“Can’t you see? It’s a credit card. Why aren’t you taking it quickly?”

“Oh, oh….”

Yoo Ji-woo, who took the card in a daze, became as docile as a puppy with a bone in its mouth.

“So… you’re saying I should buy a new computer with this?”

“Yeah.”

Kang Tae-hoon answered coolly. Yoo Ji-woo’s lips twitched.

“How… how much can I spend…?”

“What are you talking about again?”

“Even computers have their own grades… The expensive ones are really expensive… Especially graphics cards…”

Unexpectedly, an opportunity to get a computer for free came up. If I’m going to buy a new one, I might as well get a good one.

Yoo Ji-woo rubbed his hands together while bending his waist.

“For reference, the one I used was a 7070… It’s been a while since it was released… It’s a bit tough to work with… Like earlier…”

“What’s popular these days?”

The bait was taken. Yoo Ji-woo didn’t miss the chance and subtly tested Kang Tae-hoon.

“These days, it’s the 9000 series… Among them, the 9090 is the king… But it’s not cheap…”

“Then buy that one.”

Without needing to test further, permission was granted immediately. Yoo Ji-woo almost fell backward in surprise.

“R-really? I can really buy the 9090?”

“How many times do I have to tell you? Stop bothering me. I’m in the middle of a game, so get lost.”

“Yay! Our young master is the best!”

Yoo Ji-woo started running around the lab like a child. Then he even jumped on Rashid’s back, who was planking.

For reference, Rashid didn’t budge.

“Is it okay?”

I approached Kang Tae-hoon and asked.

“What is?”

“That.”

I pointed my chin at Yoo Ji-woo.

“Hehe. It’s a new computer. What concept should I go with? Black? White?”

Yoo Ji-woo sat cross-legged on Rashid’s back and started tapping on his tablet.

He was putting together a quote.

“Leave him be. It’s better than him whining all day about a broken computer. I can’t stand listening to that.”

Wow. Spending his own money without hesitation just to shut someone up.

“You’re quite a good guy.”

“Much better than you, who breaks other people’s computers. You psychopath.”

Hmm. He had a point, so I couldn’t argue logically.

“Oh, right.”

At that moment, Yoo Ji-woo, who was putting together the quote, looked up as if he had something to say.

“Come to think of it, aren’t you guys preparing for the exams? You seem quite relaxed.”

That’s right. It’s the final exam period now.

However, none of the three combat students gathered here were studying.

Kang Tae-hoon spoke first.

From noble mtl dot com

“With our basic skills, why bother studying for exams? I’m busy playing games.”

Kang Tae-hoon, who never intended to study from the beginning.

Next…

“Oh.”

Rashid didn’t seem to be the type to be obsessed with exams either.

And lastly…

“As long as I get a C in each subject, I’m fine.”

I don’t aim for high grades either. I just need to get by.

“Not that exam.”

But Yoo Ji-woo shook her head, indicating that wasn’t what she was talking about.

She continued.

“There’s a test that needs to be renewed every semester in the combat department. What was it again? The individual tactics evaluation?”

“Individual tactics evaluation?”

The three combat students’ gazes turned to one girl. They all stared at Yoo Ji-woo as if hearing it for the first time.

“No way…”

Yoo Ji-woo let out a laugh of disbelief.

“Are you guys really in the combat department…?”

*

Individual tactics evaluation. Come to think of it, there might have been something like that.

It’s not that big of a deal. Just think of it as one more exam subject.

─Phew! Barely passed with a C.

This is the indoor training ground. The place where the synchro room is equipped. Many combat students were already taking the evaluation.

“Hey. It’s understandable for me and the freshman to not know, but you too? Are you a complete delinquent?”

Being called a delinquent by Kang Tae-hoon. But I had nothing to say. It was true that I forgot about the individual tactics evaluation.

“There’s one room left.”

I pretended not to hear and lightly ignored him, entering the empty synchro room. The other two followed me in.

“Ugh! Why is it so hot in here? Turn on the air conditioner quickly!”

The outer wall of the synchro room was made of transparent glass partitions. It was possible to look inside from the outside.

“So how does the evaluation start?”

Kang Tae-hoon picked up a wooden training sword placed inside the synchro room.

I stood in front of the kiosk device installed in the corner.

“You can set it up here.”

The operation wasn’t difficult. You just had to touch the desired tab.

I immediately pressed the individual tactical evaluation.

* Even if you clear the S difficulty, it will not be applied to your actual grade.

“What? Does that mean the clear grade is the actual grade? This is way better than a written exam. This is a real test.”

“Who wants to go first?”

“Of course, it’s me.”

Kang Tae-hoon chose the A+ difficulty without hesitation.

“Anyway, even if you clear S, it doesn’t count towards your grade, right? So, isn’t A+ enough?”

Then, Kang Tae-hoon began to enter his student number.

“Is it okay to choose A+ from the start? There might be a way to gradually work your way up.”

“Why bother wasting energy? Just finish it in one go.”

Such immense confidence. Well, for someone like Kang Tae-hoon, it’s understandable.

“I’ll go first.”

Kang Tae-hoon entered the training ground with a wooden sword slung over his shoulder.

“Piece of cake.”

Kang Tae-hoon returned after easily securing an A+. As expected of the runner-up in the entrance exam. His skills were impeccable.

“Who’s next?”

“Oh.”

In response to Kang Tae-hoon’s question, this time Rashid stood in front of the kiosk.

“Oh.”

Although it’s not as good as Kang Tae-hoon’s performance, Rashid also scored quite high. A0 can be considered top-tier.

“Next, it’s my turn.”

Finally, I stood in front of the kiosk.

Unlike Kang Tae-hoon or Rashid, I have no interest in high grades.

Let’s just aim for exactly B0.
