The Spoon Villain Is Obsessed with the Hero Again Today - Chapter 96
There Is No C in My Grades (5)
It’s been over three days since we’ve been living and training in the indoor training room. Now, it’s being used like my own bedroom.
“No matter what, underwear is a bit much! I’m a girl too!”
In a situation where even the time to go back to the room to get clothes is precious. I had no choice but to ask someone else.
So I called Kim Han-bit.
“Don’t worry about hygiene. The underwear is cleanly washed with fabric softener. You just need to take it out of the closet as it is.”
“That’s not the issue!”
Until then, I had asked Rashid to deliver my underwear. But today, he said he had something to do and left.
“Why me? Why do I have to bring you your underwear? Isn’t there anyone else?”
“No.”
Asking Kang Tae-hoon would just result in him telling me to go to hell.
Yoo Ji-woo is busy preparing for his final exam project.
I can’t ask Choi So-eun, who makes me lunch every day, to do another favor.
Lastly, there’s Moon Shin-chung… but personally, I don’t want to give that guy my room password.
As I eliminated each person one by one, the only one left was Kim Han-bit.
“I’ve never even touched my dad’s underwear in my life!”
“Hmm. If you put it that way, there’s no helping it. You don’t have to bring the underwear. Instead.”
“Instead?”
Kim Han-bit’s eyes widened.
I soon said.
“I’d like you to buy a few from the convenience store in front.”
“That’s even weirder!”
Kim Han-bit shouted.
What’s so weird about it? I’m not asking for used underwear, just new ones.
Isn’t that easy enough?
“Think about a woman buying men’s underwear alone at a convenience store! It’s weird!”
“I don’t see the problem.”
“Ugh…! Then can you buy women’s underwear at a convenience store? Can you confidently pay in front of people?”
“Of course. I can even buy sanitary pads.”
“…”
Kim Han-bit staggered for a moment. She seemed to feel dizzy.
“What’s this…? Am I the weird one…? Am I too conservative…?”
“It’s obvious you have no experience with men.”
Seizing the moment, I pushed Kim Han-bit towards the exit.
“The first time is hard, but after that, it will be nothing. Who knows, this experience might be very helpful later.”
“Later…?”
“When you’re in a relationship, you talk about these things.”
When you’re in a relationship, these things happen. Sometimes, like now, a woman goes to buy men’s underwear. Conversely, a man might buy women’s stockings or sanitary pads.
I was also surprised the first time I went to buy women’s stockings. I thought I just had to choose the color, but I had to choose the thickness, whether it was denier or something else.
That’s when I learned how to distinguish between summer stockings and winter stockings.
“For reference, I prefer square-cut boxer briefs that cling to the butt. If possible, I like them in wine color.”
“Square-cut boxer briefs in wine color…? Square-cut boxer briefs… in wine color… Square-cut boxer briefs in wine color…”
Maybe my order was a bit complicated. Hanbit Kim repeated the order out loud to make sure he wouldn’t forget.
Well, isn’t this how everyone grows up?

Personal Tactical Evaluation
: Select Difficulty [B0]
: Enter Student Number [ ]
───
I decided to continue the evaluation I was watching while wearing my new underwear. I entered my student number.
Beep. Beep.
Now I can complete my student number with my eyes closed. This feels good from the start. Maybe I’ll really succeed this time.
─3 minutes until the evaluation starts. 3 minutes until the evaluation starts.
Soon, the empty room was replaced with a new stage along with flashy effects.
A collapsed cityscape unfolded before my eyes.
─Grrr….
Along with numerous monsters.
─1 minute until the evaluation starts. 1 minute until the evaluation starts.
Maybe because I’ve challenged this so many times, even this waiting time feels like a waste.
How nice would it be if it just started without any waiting?
Beep─!
After the last minute passed, the evaluation started with a buzzer sound. I enlarged my spoon.
─Roar!
The wolf-shaped monsters recognized my presence and charged at me with their mouths wide open.
Thud─!
The first phase starts with dealing with the monsters. There’s no specific strategy needed. Just beat them up.
Thwack─!
I swing the spoon and smack their heads. This is easy enough. I can handle it.
─Screech…!
As I eliminate the monsters one by one, the first phase comes to an end.
Now, the second phase begins.
─Growl….
A larger number of monsters appeared than before. They looked fierce, emitting black smoke from their bodies.
But the problem wasn’t the monsters in front of me….
Rumble─!
Suddenly, the ground shook. A giant tentacle burst out from the ground in the distance.
Whoosh─!
The tentacle wriggled on its own and spat out a large pouch.
It was a venom pouch.
Swish─
The moment that venom pouch falls on my head, the evaluation ends. I quickly dodged.
Bang─!
Soon, the pouch hit the ground, and its contents exploded. A viscous green liquid flowed out.
Sizzle─
The green liquid rapidly corroded the surroundings. White smoke rose from the melted area.
Swish─
There was no time to catch my breath. The tentacle spat out another venom pouch.
Unless I deal with that tentacle first, the venom pouch attacks will keep coming until the evaluation ends.
I have to somehow prioritize removing that tentacle.
─Growl….
From noble mtl dot com
But there are monsters right in front of me. They won’t easily clear the way.
“….”
Then there’s only one method left. The spoon I have. Even if I can’t, this spoon can reach the tentacle.
Swoosh─
I used telekinesis to lift the spoon high. It passed through the horde of monsters and headed towards the tentacle.
─Kuaaaak!
Meanwhile, now that the weapon has left my hand, the monsters were not going to leave me alone. The monsters bared their sharp teeth and charged at me.
Tadadak─!
I can’t face them barehanded. I’m not a character like Rashid who fights with his fists. I need to buy some time until the spoon returns.
This is an urban area. I entered a nearby abandoned building. The tallest building in this area.
Tang! Tang! Tang!
I climbed the emergency stairs as high as I could. From here on, it’s a test of endurance.
Tang! Tang! Tang!
The monsters followed me into the building. But the emergency stairs were a very narrow passage. Only one monster could barely pass through at a time.
─Kuaaaak!
─Kiaaaak!
Eventually, the monsters started biting each other in front of the first-floor stairs. Each one trying to climb the stairs first.
Tang! Tang! Tang!
This is my own strategy that I found after countless retries. This should buy me enough time.
I activated the Blind Side skill. Now it’s time to uproot that giant tentacle.
Paaat─!
Blind Side, I shifted my perspective with the spoon to look outside.
There, I see the tentacle. The tentacle threw a venom pouch to intercept the spoon floating in the sky.
Whiiik─!
But it’s just a projectile. Unless it’s a bullet, it’s not easy to knock down this spoon.
I lightly twisted the spoon to dodge it.
Paaat─!
The tentacle spat out another venom pouch. The second attack. This time, I decided not to dodge. The distance between the tentacle and me had narrowed enough.
I stopped the spoon to receive the venom pouch.
Kwaaang─!
The spoon and the venom pouch collided. The membrane surrounding the pouch tore. Just as the acidic liquid was about to cover the spoon…
Chwaaaak─!
I activated another skill, Reflection. The acidic liquid that was about to cover the spoon changed its path and extended towards the tentacle.
─Kiooooooo!
The tentacle, covered in the reflected venom, twisted its entire body with a bizarre scream. But that resistance didn’t last long.
Because it melted at a terrifying speed. You could say that even the roots were completely gone.
─Kuaak!
While I was focusing on the tentacles, the monsters started climbing up the stairs.
They are the ones who survived the competition.
“….”
I still don’t have a proper weapon. The spoon is just now returning.
Clang─!
Without hesitation, I broke the window and threw myself outside.
From a height of 30 floors.
Whooosh─!
As I was falling, the rough wind hit my whole body.
Thud─!
I grabbed the spoon that returned just in time.
I still don’t have enough strength to fully handle this weight. But it’s enough to support me to some extent. I can’t fly around like a bird with the spoon, but it can at least act as a parachute.
Holding onto the spoon, I slowly descended to the ground.
─Screeech…!
Then, I took care of the remaining monsters one by one.
With this, I was able to clear the second phase without much trouble.
Now, if I just get through the last third phase, this tiresome evaluation will be over.
Finally, the B0 grade will be in my hands.
“….”
But that doesn’t mean I should take it lightly. The third phase is on a completely different level from the previous phases. It’s a boss fight.
For reference.
The longest I’ve lasted against the boss is 39 seconds.
39 seconds. Just enough time to heat up a garlic sausage in the microwave.
