Chapter 43

In the Velvets, the students’ class schedules are random.

Each character chooses classes according to their own inclinations.

Of course, the ability points gained from classes are just bonuses, so they don’t stand out much at first.

But in the latter half of the story, when the plot has progressed, that’s when the true value of random class selection shines.

Depending on which classes the character has taken, the ability points in the latter part of the game can vary significantly.

Of course, there wasn’t a huge difference in the classes taken by the characters due to their different inclinations, but,

Among them, there were always some lucky characters who managed to pick only the best classes.

But in their case…

‘Am I screwed?’

A total mess.

If I hadn’t checked Kang Do-hee’s class schedule, I would’ve been in big trouble.

First, Lee Yoo-ri.

In the game, she was a girl who took as many classes as possible to make the most of the Academy’s tuition fees.

She didn’t consider break times and meal times when making her schedule, so her condition management was a bit tricky.

But because of the significant ability point boost, she lived up to her name, Soup.

‘But… It wasn’t this packed originally…’

The schedule Lee Yoo-ri sent me was like that of a girl attending a private school, with every day from Monday to Friday packed full.

She had even found and included some innovative classes that seemed to be of no help at all.

‘……Is this even realistically possible? If she follow this, won’t her condition management be impossible?’

And the second one.

Kang Do-hee.

She’s gotten even worse.

Originally, she only took the bare minimum of necessary classes, and the schedule she sent me was almost empty, with only a few mandatory classes taking up space.

‘How is she going to graduate with this?’

At least Shin Se-hee was better.

A suitable curriculum for a magician, a special job, with enough break and meal times secured to make it an ideal schedule.

‘But she’s not going to be a magician…’

Sigh─

A sigh escaped from within.

First, I needed to figure out what these guys were thinking when they made these schedules.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

【Sword Ghost】 ─ Lee Yoo-ri, when do you have time to eat your meals?

【Not Soup】 ─ Hmm? Can’t I just bring food from the dorm? And during class or in the bathroom…

【Sword Ghost】 ─ ……..

【Not Soup】 ─ And now that I’m officially the party’s tanker, I need to be helpful to the party…

【Sword Ghost】 ─ So, you thought you’d take as many classes as possible to be of assistance.

【Not Soup】 ─ Yeah! That’s it! What do you think?

【Sword Ghost】 ─ First, let’s get rid of all the useless classes. 《Superhero Landing Practice》, 《The Way of the Shield Dealer》, 《Ultimate Field Cooking》, 《How to Be a Tough Woman》, 《Playing the Drums with a Shield》? What’s this?

【Not Soup】 ─ Huh?

【Sword Ghost】 ─ I’m going to remove all the ones I mentioned before. No. I’ll redo your entire schedule.

【Not Soup】 ─ Hey! But Tough Woman!!!

【Sword Ghost】 ─ Do it.

【Not Soup】 ─ Okayㅠ

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Anyway, that’s how I sorted out Soup. Next was Kang Do-hee.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

【Sword Ghost】 ─ Kang Do-hee, why do you have no classes?

【Fire Fist】 ─ I’ll be a hunter in the future, so it’s basic to free up time. Our tanker doesn’t plan to have time for the party missions.

【Not Soup】 ─ ……..

【Sword Ghost】 ─ Kang Do-hee, your schedule is a mess. It’s even worse than Soup’s.

【Fire Fist】 ─ Huh!?

【Sword Ghost】 ─ How do you plan to graduate with so few classes? Are you planning on going to graduate school at all?

【Fire Fist】 ─ Jin Yuha, there are things you can do and things you can’t.

【Sword Ghost】 ─ So, I’ll recommend some classes for you to take as well. Add them.

【Fire Fist】 ─ But, useless classes like that…

【Sword Ghost】 ─ There’s a period for class adjustments anyway. Just try out the sample classes and decide later.

【Fire Fist】 ─ Alright.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I sent a list of classes that came to mind to Lee Yoo-ri and Kang Do-hee via personal chat.

Lee Yoo-ri, who was reluctant to waste tuition fees, and Kang Do-hee, who grumbled about having to take such useless classes,

Both of them eventually kept quiet after being convinced that it was better to make money as hunters than taking these classes, and that they could always drop the classes if they didn’t like them after trying them out.

Now, the last one, Shin Se-hee.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

【Sword Ghost】 ─ Shin Se-hee, your schedule looks neat.

【Flower Bud ✿】 ─ Huhuhu, that’s right~ I’ve already calculated the evaluation and efficiency of each class, so.

【Sword Ghost】 ─ But let’s remove all the magic-related classes except for the required ones.

【Flower Bud ✿】 ─ ……

【Sword Ghost】 ─ From now on, the classes you need are the ones that will help develop your intelligence and analytical thinking skills, so that you can better fulfill your role in the party.

【Flower Bud ✿】 ─ Ah. the party role, huh?

【Sword Ghost】 ─ And honestly, isn’t it hard to raise your magic any further from here?

【Flower Bud ✿】 ─ How can you say that!

【Sword Ghost】 ─ You’ve been eating well so far. The limit of what you can raise through training has probably already been surpassed by the power of drugs.

【Flower Bud ✿】 ─ I’m not a drug addict!?

【Sword Ghost】 ─ I’ll send you a schedule, so just follow it.

【Flower Bud ✿】 ─ Hmph, fine.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Shin Se-hee was actually unable to raise her magic power through training.

As the young lady of a hunter lineage, she had eaten well since she was young.

Of course, she could increase her magic proficiency by taking magic-related classes, but as an operator, what she needed was not magic, but higher intelligence!

So, I smiled at the schedules I had adjusted for the three of them.

‘If I succeed in this, it’ll be amazing. Hah, I really want to get this certified and post it on the community. It’ll be an instant popular post.’

The classes I recommended to them were inspired by the post in my past life:

IF) If you could directly set the characters’ class schedules.

Character-specific dream schedules (revision_real revision_final_final_final_final.hwp

It was the result of the hardcore players of Velvets, who realized that it was impossible to clear the game without spending money, wondering what would happen if they could directly set the characters’ ‘classes’.

But this was also an extremely unlikely scenario, and there were many classes that were impossible due to the characters’ inclinations, so it remained an unfinished work of fantasy.

Of course, I memorized this.@@novelbin@@

Why? Because I was a light user who only paid the monthly fee. If I wanted to rank, shouldn’t I do this much? Of course, countless failures and resets piled up, and in the end, I gave up.

But now, I could directly set their class schedules…!

I shuddered at the thought.

.

.

.

The first basic class.

Understanding Basic Monsters.

This class was a mandatory theoretical class that all freshmen at the Velvet Academy had to take.

In other words, a class that all party members took together.

“You came early.”

I sat next to Soup, who had already arrived and greeted her.

“……Jin Yuha, you came?”

Lee Yoo-ri replied with a glum face. I smiled, knowing why she was in such a low mood.

“Why, are you still sad about it?”

“……”

Lee Yoo-ri said nothing, just staring at me.

But her face seemed to say, ‘The tuition fees are too precious.’

“If you had taken those classes, you would have wasted your time. And you would have stubbornly taken them all, wouldn’t you.”

“……How do you know that.”

Hmm, I had been a bit too excited and one-sidedly pushed it on them.

‘As a party leader, I shouldn’t be unilaterally forcing things on party members. Well, no, but I do have to be unilateral sometimes.’

Anyway, the current situation was that the party members had complaints against me.

Solving this was simple.

I had already prepared for it.

“Here, Lee Yoo-ri. These are the class evaluations for the classes you wanted to take.”

I showed her the class evaluations on my phone.

“……!”

Lee Yoo-ri’s eyes widened.

The community was only accessible to students of the Velvet Academy, and it was filled with blunt and brutal evaluations.

Moreover, the classes Lee Yoo-ri had chosen were all trap classes, and their evaluations were unanimously terrible.

“Even How to Be a Tough Woman!?”

Lee Yoo-ri exclaimed in surprise.

What the hell is ‘How to Be a Tough Woman’?

“……Hello.”

At that moment, a voice piped up, greeting them.

Turning their heads, they saw Shin Se-hee.

“Hello. Cheonhwa?”

Lee Yoo-ri greeted her, and Shin Se-hee turned her head away.

In reality, Shin Se-hee, who had been a chat room warrior, had become a timid person.

“Are you here?”

“Can I sit next to you…?”

“Yeah, sit.”

Shin Se-hee sat down, sticking her back firmly against the chair so that she was hidden from Lee Yoo-ri.

She sighed heavily.

“……Haa. It’s still not getting any easier.”

“You talk just fine in the chat room, though.”

At that, Shin Se-hee glared at me.

Suddenly, something occurred to me.

“Oh, right. Shin Se-hee. I have a job for you.”

“Hmm? Is it party-related?”

“Yeah, it’s about what happened yesterday.”

Yesterday, he and Kang Do-hee had smashed the Gyaru girl.

I remembered the girl’s last action.

‘She even drew her weapon and swung it.’

It was taboo for Academy students to draw their weapons and point them at others outside the training grounds.

Of course, since the girl had been beaten to a pulp yesterday, everyone seemed to have forgotten about that.

But that bitch wouldn’t just sit there and take it.

And she had even used accusation to provoke Kang Do-hee.

‘She’ll definitely be up to something shady.’

But we already had someone who was optimized for dealing with that kind of shady bitch.

Shin Se-hee.

Black Snake.

Using a villain to defeat the enemy.

Indeed, who better to deal with such a shady bitch than a woman even shadier?

I brought up the incident from the previous day to Shin Se-hee.

“Yesterday, when I went to the dormitory…”
