Avoid Yandere Constellation

After confirming that all the freshmen had arrived, we explained the exam to them.

“Do you all understand?”

“Yes!”

The freshmen responded like little chicks.

Looking at them, I couldn’t help but find them cute.

“Then, everyone, please wear this badge.”

I handed out numerous badges to the front row.

The students in the front took one each and passed them to the person behind them.

‘Hmm. I wonder if Mark will be able to take the exam properly.’

But I’m concerned about his physical condition.

His appearance is a mess.

His clothes were covered in dirt, his hair was disheveled, and his face, which looked like that of a model student, had scratches that didn’t match his appearance.

If someone didn’t know him, they might think he had just returned from a war.

‘If his score is lower than expected, it might affect the mood in the family.’

Of course, I had already deducted one point from him for being late.

‘It’s not a big deal for a David family member to have a one-point deduction.’

Even if he gets a one-point deduction, if his score is lower than expected, it’s not because of the penalty, but because of his lack of skill and inability to manage his condition.

Therefore, if his score is low, Thomas might be upset.

And we might end up feeling uneasy.

It’s natural for siblings to feel uneasy when their brother or sister gets scolded.

We might end up getting involved unintentionally.

Of course, Thomas, who is in charge of the family, wouldn’t blame us.

But there’s no such thing as absolute in this world.

In conclusion, if Mark’s score is low, we might also be affected.

Especially me, not Willy.

After all, Thomas told me to take care of my siblings.

‘It’s like I’m having some kind of delusion.’

I can’t just sit here and do nothing.

I need to check on Mark’s condition.

After making up my mind, I quickly walked towards Mark.

Soon, I arrived in front of him.

“Can you take the exam properly? Is there anything uncomfortable or difficult?”

“····Don’t worry. I can manage my condition.”

Mark responded with a relaxed expression.

“Then why were you late?”

“·····People make mistakes sometimes.”

“Of course. Hmm. If you feel tired before the exam, let me know. I can give you a potion.”

At my words, Mark’s expression turned serious as he thought deeply.

The next moment…

“Then, can I have a stamina potion? I’m a bit tired from running here.”

I knew this guy would ask for something like this.

When he arrived at the entrance, he walked leisurely like a protagonist, but in reality, he was quite exhausted.

I took out a stamina potion from my dimensional ring and handed it to him.

He took it and put it in his mouth.

“·····?!”

Mark looked a bit surprised.

He probably realized what kind of potion I had given him.

“That’s a potion made by Karin-nim. Be grateful.”

“····Yes.”

Mark would definitely feel indebted to me now.

Potion made by her is hard to come by.

Of course, for me, it’s something I can get in 3 seconds if I go to the store.

There’s no need to explain it to him.

If I create a good image with my brother, maybe he’ll help me in the future when it comes to the family head competition.

Maybe he’ll help me if I ask him?

Of course, this is just my hope.

.

.

.

Ten minutes passed.

After all the freshmen had put on their badges, William finished explaining the rules of the exam.

“Haaam. Then, everyone, please enter the gate.”

“Yes!”

At William’s words, the freshmen, who were like little chicks, nodded and slowly entered.

Soon after, the teaching assistants and professors also entered.

Hmm. There aren’t many changes from last time.

I was curious to see how much the building had changed after the cult’s attack, but it turned out to be the same as before.

The only difference was that the building was newly built.

Other than that, there were no changes at all.

Well, even if there were changes, what’s the point?

As I was thinking about something else.

“The taggers will start moving 20 minutes after the exam begins.”

William added an explanation.

“Then, the exam begins.”

At his words, the freshmen started running like little chicks looking for their parents.

.

.

.

Willy, unlike the other students, walked leisurely.

If she didn’t conserve her energy now, she might get caught by the teaching assistants after 20 minutes.

Of course, she could defeat the teaching assistants.

But she couldn’t afford to be careless.

William and the others were people with exceptional skills.

Especially Kim Soo-yong.

Therefore, she needed to manage her pace.

As she was thinking about this, she spotted a slime, the lowest-ranked monster, in front of her.

·····It’s cute.

A round jelly-like body.

A core with a round bead inside.

Big, round eyes.

If it weren’t a monster, she might have kept it as a pet.

Willy looked at it with regret and lightly swung her sword.

-Whoosh!

-Crack!

With one strike, the slime’s core was split into two pieces.

The slime’s body spread out on the ground.

-Ting!

Points were added to her badge.

‘Hmm. It feels a bit strange to only hunt regular monsters.’

To be honest, she didn’t care much about her score, but she wanted to beat the red tomato (Lisanna) she met yesterday.

She had only met her two days ago.

However, considering her behavior, she probably had a strong desire to win.

Therefore, she would probably try her best in this exam.

‘I’ll catch the boss monster and defeat her.’

.

.

.

Meanwhile, at that time, Willy was releasing her divinity and recklessly killing the lowest-ranked monsters, just as Willy had said.

“Die, you weaklings!!!”

She was like a human tank, and the word ‘thug’ suited her better than ‘saint’ at this moment.

She stopped her offense to catch her breath for a moment.

Soon, she let out a shallow sigh.

“Huff. It’s not as satisfying as I thought.”

It’s strange to expect much from fighting the lowest-ranked monsters.

But who would have thought it would be this boring?

‘Hmm… Ah. Maybe I should fight the teaching assistants instead? Or fighting that kid wouldn’t be bad either.’

The kid Lisanna mentioned was none other than David von Willy.

Fighting her would be a good match.

‘Of course, I’m confident that I can win.’

As she was thinking this, she suddenly remembered William’s rule.

‘To be clear, fighting with students is prohibited.’

Hmm. I can’t fight that kid.

Then, should I fight the teaching assistants?

It’s not a bad idea.

Among the people in the exam site, excluding the professors and freshmen, the teaching assistants are the most suitable opponents.

‘I should avoid fighting the teaching assistant I met today.’

I do want to fight him, but not right now.

After all, I would probably lose if I fought him now.

Of course, I can’t say for sure since I haven’t fought him properly, but my instincts tell me that he’s stronger than me.

Therefore, there’s no reason to take the risk of fighting him during the exam.

I want to try to get the first place, after all.

“Hmm. Then, who should I fight?”

As she was thinking about this, Lisanna suddenly remembered the goddess’s words.

[The goddess of Battle wants you to fight the man you met yesterday.]

The goddess was whining.

‘Hmm. He did look strong.’

Is he interesting enough for the goddess to be interested in him?

To be honest, I don’t understand why the goddess is interested in him.

If he had something special about him, I might understand, but he didn’t seem that way.

He also didn’t look as strong as the teaching assistant I met today.

‘Why is the goddess so interested in him?’

I don’t understand, but fighting him wouldn’t be a bad idea.

The other teaching assistants also seemed strong, but…

‘The teaching assistant I met today didn’t feel overwhelmingly stronger than him.’

So, fighting the person the goddess is interested in would probably be more interesting.

After making up her mind, Lisanna started hunting monsters at a leisurely pace, unlike before, to prepare for a possible fight with Kaine.

.

.

.

Meanwhile, at that time, the cult’s spy, Ward, was pretending to be a freshman and hunting monsters to earn points.

He was also discreetly moving around Lisanna, but…

‘Hmm. Jade-nim told me to be as safe as possible, so this distance should be appropriate.’

His mission was to infiltrate the exam site.

Therefore, he didn’t need to specifically target Lisanna, the saint.

That’s the second priority.

He was monitoring Lisanna from a distance using his characteristic ability, Ki-sense, just in case she showed any weaknesses.

.

.

.

About 15 minutes after the exam started, the teaching assistants, including me, began to warm up.

‘Hmm. Let’s see.’

After warming up, I used the map I bought during the vacation.

-Ting!

The map of the Leiston continent appeared before my eyes.

There were also numerous dots on the map.

Let’s see… Where am I now…

I searched for ‘Royal Academy’ next to the map’s search bar.

-Ting.

The map changed from the entire Leiston continent to the Royal Academy.

And when I entered the performance evaluation site…

[Do you want to zoom in?]

A message appeared in front of my eyes.

I clicked ‘Yes’ next to it.

The message disappeared, and the performance evaluation site appeared with several dots.

‘Let’s see. My siblings, Lisanna, and the cult’s spy should be doing their jobs properly.’

As I thought this, I searched for Willy.

Unlike the other freshmen, she was moving leisurely, conserving her energy.

Mark was also conserving his stamina.

Then, I wondered what the cult’s spy was doing. As I searched for him, I saw that he was hunting monsters around Lisanna, just as planned.

It seems like the future has changed more than I thought.

Then, what about the saint?

I searched for Lisanna.

Soon, I saw Lisanna hunting monsters leisurely.

Huh? What the fuck?

The reason I was surprised wasn’t because she looked leisurely.

In the original story, she also hunted monsters leisurely at the beginning to fight the teaching assistants for fun.

The reason I was surprised was…

“Huh?”

Because she was raising her middle finger to the sky.

Of course, she was doing this to the goddess of Battle, not to me.

But as I was secretly watching, I felt like I was the one being flipped off.

Soon, I also raised my middle finger at Lisanna without realizing it.

At that moment…

“What’s wrong? Why are you picking a fight?”

Kim Soo-yong looked at me with a crazy look.

Ah, damn.

Maybe Kim Soo-yong couldn’t see the system map, so he thought I was picking a fight with him.

He narrowed his eyes as if he didn’t understand.

I knew that explaining myself wouldn’t work, so I naturally…

“One, two, three, four, five.”

I counted on my fingers as if I was doing finger exercises.

[The goddess of fate is asking if you’re crazy.]

Huh? Why? Wasn’t I natural?

My acting skills are so good that even actors would cry.

I’m sure Kim Soo-yong was also fooled by my naturalness.

As I was rationalizing to myself, William spoke up.

“Taggers, go outside.”

Hearing his words, I hurriedly left the building.

Of course, my back felt a bit warm, but…

It’s just my imagination, right?
