There Is No C in My Grades (4)

───

Personal Tactical Evaluation

: Selected Difficulty [S]

: Student Information [Second-year Combat Department, Arna Kristindottir]

: Clear Record [Fail]

───

“Ugh…! I was so close to clearing it…!”

It was the third day since Arna had challenged the S difficulty. As you can see, she kept failing.

“It’s definitely different from A….”

The S difficulty personal tactical evaluation that appeared for the first time this semester. Not a single student had cleared it yet. No one even attempted it.

Except for Arna here.

“Shall we try changing the route next time….”

She had already secured an A+ grade. But Arna didn’t settle for that. She kept running towards farther and higher goals.

Because that’s the only way to become a true hero.

─Another failure.

Meanwhile, in the next room, the villain blocking the hero’s path could also be encountered. Shin Yunseong had just finished his battle and was coming out.

“…!”

Arna quickly pressed herself against the wall. She peeked out just enough to spy on Shin Yunseong through the transparent glass window.

─At least he made it to the boss.

Like Arna, Shin Yunseong was also experiencing repeated failures.

However, it wasn’t that there were no results at all. There was some progress being made. Initially, he couldn’t last even a minute, but now he had managed to reach the final phase.

With a little more effort, clearing it might not be just a dream.

Growl─

“….”

Suddenly, Arna’s stomach started to rumble. Checking her smartphone, she realized it was well past midnight.

“I haven’t eaten anything since lunch….”

Arna rubbed her stomach.

She had skipped that crucial dinner due to being engrossed in battles. Eating a hearty meal was necessary to gain energy and move her body.

─Should I push a bit more?

Likewise, Shin Yunseong in the next room probably hadn’t eaten yet either. He hadn’t stepped out of the indoor training room since lunch.

Shin Yunseong must be getting hungry by now.

“Should I pack something and bring it….”

Anyway, she was just about to go out to buy food. It wouldn’t hurt to buy something for Shin Yunseong as well.

At the very least, she could do that much.

“No, no!”

But then Arna shook her head.

“Why should I? Why should I do such a thing? For whose benefit?”

There was no mercy for the villain. Soon, Arna strode towards the exit.

Leaving Shin Yunseong behind.

“I don’t care if someone else starves!”

*

“Ugh… I said that, but….”

A moment later, Arna returned to the indoor training room carrying two lunch boxes.

The lunch boxes were freshly packed from the store and were very warm.

It was a chicken mayo rice bowl bought from Hansot.

“Is it still there?”

Arna quickly went to the synchro room where Shin Yunseong was.

She was just going to deliver the lunch box and come back.

Well, if things went well, they could eat together.

Of course, that was only if Shin Yunseong earnestly requested it.

─Did I make too much for a late-night snack?

─No. It’s just right. You need to eat this much if you’re going to use your body.

But there was already a guest in the synchro room.

A familiar female student’s voice. To Arna, she was a somewhat uncomfortable person.

It was Choi Soeun from the medical corps.

“When did she…?”

She must have visited while Arna was out buying the lunch box. And she even brought the lunch box that Arna was going to give.

How could such a coincidence happen?

“…”

Now, she couldn’t even deliver the lunch box, let alone eat together. It was impossible to squeeze in between those two.

─Does it suit your taste?

─This fried food. It’s very crispy. It can’t even be compared to the Hansot chicken mayo nearby.

“Ugh…!”

Arna quickly hid the packaging container she was holding behind her back. And before they noticed her, she hurriedly ran to the next room.

“A homemade lunch box is… cheating….”

Arna looked at the chicken mayo she had just bought.

The chicken pieces on top of the rice, the roughly sprinkled teriyaki sauce and mayonnaise, and the soggy seaweed flakes….

It was a really shabby lunch box.

“Again… I lost again….”

Just like at the festival, this time too. She lost to Choi Soeun again. Even though this was the indoor training ground for the combat corps. There was no place for Arna to fit in.

As long as Choi Soeun was in front of her, Arna could only feel infinitely small.

“It can’t be helped….”

Arna was not Choi Soeun.

She couldn’t become like Choi Soeun.

Arna didn’t have the same courage as Chae Soo-eun.

Because she hadn’t even realized the true nature of her feelings yet.

*

It was worth the time invested in making the lunchbox. Seeing him eat so deliciously.

Even though it was a busy period with exams for the medical corps, Chae Soo-eun didn’t care at all.

From noble mtl dot com

No regrets.

“Individual tactical evaluation… was it?”

“That’s right.”

“Is it very difficult?”

She didn’t know much about the combat corps. Chae Soo-eun was a student from another department. She had no choice but to ask like this.

“I’m aiming for at least a B0. But it’s not that easy.”

It must be quite a difficult exam. That’s why he’s struggling until this late at night.

She couldn’t help much here, but at least she could cheer him on.

At least a word of encouragement.

“It’s okay. You can do it.”

“Hmm?”

Shin Yoon-sung put down the spoon he was eating with, looking a bit surprised. And he stared at Chae Soo-eun.

“Interesting. You saying something like that.”

“Huh…?”

“Wouldn’t have imagined it before.”

That’s right. Even last year, even at the beginning of the semester, how was it? Chae Soo-eun used to look at Shin Yoon-sung as if he were a bug, thinking he was annoying.

But now it’s different. Now, Chae Soo-eun is the one approaching first. Directly to Shin Yoon-sung.

Just like today.

“Th-that…!”

It’s true that she likes Shin Yoon-sung.

But hearing such words from him made her extremely embarrassed. She was afraid he might notice her feelings. Her face felt like it was going to explode from the heat.

Quickly, let’s change the subject.

“Oh! The exams will be over soon, and then it’s vacation. Do you have any plans?”

“Vacation. It’s already that time.”

Shin Yoon-sung looked into the air for a moment. Soon, he finished thinking and opened his mouth.

“Won’t the combat department be dispatched as planned?”

“Oh, right. There was a dispatch…”

At the end of each semester, when vacation comes, the combat department students go on dispatch.

They go to various guilds across the country to gain practical experience or receive training.

In simple terms, it’s like an internship system.

“What about the medical department? Do they go on dispatch too?”

“Unlike the combat department, it’s optional for us.”

“That’s quite enviable.”

Shin Yoon-seong picked up his spoon again and started to empty his lunchbox. Meanwhile, Choi So-eun asked,

“If you go on dispatch… won’t you be able to come to school often…?”

“Well, it depends on the guild. Some places only call you when there’s work.”

If possible, I hope he gets dispatched to such a guild. That way, I can see Shin Yoon-seong often.

“…”

Is that too greedy?

But what can I do?

I like Shin Yoon-seong that much.

Although I failed to confess in the middle, I don’t plan to give up my feelings easily here.

I can always find another opportunity to confess again.

“Huh…?”

At that moment, Choi So-eun tilted her head.

Something was moving beyond the window of the synchro room. Upon closer inspection, a human head was floating.

It was like watching a whack-a-mole game, repeatedly popping in and out.

Choi So-eun couldn’t help but laugh in disbelief.

“Why… is that person…?”

“Hmm? What’s going on?”

“Oh, it’s nothing…”

Fortunately, Shin Yoon-seong didn’t seem to notice. He didn’t realize that Arna was peeking at them.

But what is Arna doing over there? Why is she watching us at this late hour?

Was she trying to come into this room?

“…”

Whatever it may be, this is a training ground exclusively for combat soldiers. It’s not particularly strange for Arna to be wandering around.

But.

“Wait.”

At least not right now.

Choi So-eun took a handkerchief out of her pocket and handed it to Shin Yoon-sung.

“You have sauce on your mouth.”

“Thanks… huh?”

Whoosh─!

The moment Shin Yoon-sung reached out his hand, Choi So-eun pulled back the handkerchief she had extended.

And then she said.

“I’ll wipe it off for you.”

“What.”

“Shh. Just stay still.”

Choi So-eun gently placed her hand on Shin Yoon-sung’s cheek. Then, she directly wiped his mouth with the handkerchief.

Very meticulously, as if to show off.

“Hmm. This isn’t coming off easily.”

“…”

“I’ll try a bit more.”

So, what are you going to do now?

Are you going to keep hiding behind the window and just watch? Like a rat? Why don’t you come here and try to do something?

Arna. You probably can’t.

You’ll just keep watching from afar.

You’ll spend your whole life just observing.

You coward.
