Chapter 100: Preparing for the New Semester (2) (2)
Get a grip, please.

The new semester was right around the corner.
Whether as a student in the past or now…
If I had to pick the most important thing while preparing for a new semester.
It was, of course, course registration.
The academy was focused on educating Rune Holders, but the system itself was similar to a university.
Naturally, if there were lectures I wanted to take, I had to register online and get a seat.
“Ugghh- sleepy….”
8 AM in the morning.
Like any other student, I went to a PC cafe to get ready for course registration.
And next to me was a man with messy hair.
Park Jin-woo sat there with a drained expression from exhaustion.
“So you’re here to register for courses too.”
“Ohh… so sleepy. This is normally my sleeping time….”
“What about morning training?”
“Usually… 9 AM… uhmm…”
Course registration this time was pushed back about a week compared to normal.
The reason was, of course, Yoo Eun-seol.
Due to the ultra-special lecturer being recruited late, some time was needed to open lectures.
That’s why course registration was only starting now, 2 weeks before the semester began.
“I’m nervous.”
“What are you nervous about?”
“What if I can’t get a seat? The competition ratio for Ms. Yoo Eun-seol’s lecture will be insane.”
The lectures I planned to register for this semester were 6.
General courses <Application of Magic Control> and <Harvesting Byproducts>.
Warrior-type major courses <One-handed Sword and Shield Usage>, <Understanding Two-handed Swords>, <Enjoy Getting Hit>.
And finally, the assassin-type major course which was…
The only lecture by Yoo Eun-seol opened this semester, <Dagger Usage and Sword Techniques>.
I chose those six courses because I needed them all, but Yoo Eun-seol’s lecture was especially important.
It was a chance to improve my dagger skills which had stagnated to the point of regression, and a lecture taught by an S-grade Holder.
Even if I failed the others, I absolutely had to succeed in getting this one.
But Jin-woo, who was listening to me, tilted his head.
“Why are you taking Yoo Eun-seol’s lecture? You’re in the warrior class.”
“What are you talking about? I entered as an assassin.”
“That’s not the assassin I know…!!”
Ignoring Jin-woo who suddenly fell into despair alone.
I focused on the course registration page on the screen.
The lectures were already reserved.
All I had to do was click the registration buttons 6 times when it was time.
“Phew….”
I don’t know why course registration is so nerve-wracking every time.
I took a deep breath and stared at the screen.
Before I realized, the time raced towards 9 AM.
8:57, 58, 59…
As the minutes ended and it flipped to seconds,
[09:00]
The alarm for the hour rang, and hellish course registration began.
And…
[Dagger Usage and Sword Techniques (Yoo Eun-seol) : (0/0/0)]
“What the fuck, no way?”
As expected, I failed spectacularly.
Refreshing right at 9 AM allowed me to avoid the hellish waitlist, but…
The moment I clicked “registration”, the seats were gone in less than a second.
Damn it.
Is everyone using a supercomputer?
How is it so freaking fast?
Fortunately, I didn’t panic and finished registering for the remaining courses, but I felt frustrated after missing the most important lecture.
“Sigh….”
“Give up. It feels nice to give up.”
Park Jin-woo, who gave that consolation-like advice, was finally starting to look for lectures to register one by one, opening his sleepy eyes.
“What are you doing?”
“What do you mean ? Looking for lectures.”
“You didn’t reserve them in advance?”
“When did I ever?”
Wow.
He came to register without reserving lectures in advance.
This bastard. If I didn’t tell him yesterday, he probably wouldn’t have even known today was registration day.
“Ah… I need to find another lecture.”
There was still the method of waiting for someone else to cancel and open up a seat.
Whenever someone vacated a spot, a seat would open up.
But there was no way that stroke of luck would happen for Yoo Eun-seol’s lecture.
What crazy dude would cancel registration for the S-grade Holder’s lecture that might be the last?
The possibility was zero.
“Tch.”
Just as I was about to give up and look for another lecture,
Buzz-
I got a text from an unknown number.
[010-… ] This is Yoo Eun-seol. If you tried to register for my lecture but failed, give me a call. I’ll open up a seat at the right time.
Only then did I remember the obvious fact I had forgotten.
That’s right.
She came to the academy because of me.
