After I put that woman to the bed, I continued my way.
Long corridor. Before, just one steps could be heard. Then from opposite me, another footsteps was coming. I prepare myself to give another courtesy. But my foot halted after I saw who was coming.
Slim and healthy body. With neat white shirt. A black tie. And you can't forget that signature ponytail. Most importantly, that iconic blue hair.
I already saw him several time yesterday. But... to actually met him 1-on-1 was in another level of nervousness. It can't be denied my most favorite character in ToG is no other than Khun Aguero Agnis. His shrewdness and cunning mind was what make all readers fall head over heels to him.
And right now this man came to my side. Alone. Just the two of us. Gaahhh... so nervous. Maybe I should greet him. Yes,yes, that's right. Building a good relationship with Khun now is a must. For the sake of my plan to survive in this world.
My distance with him came closer each second. 10 metres, 8 metres, 6 metres,... Our distance slowly closing. My heart paced can't be controlled anymore.
This is my chance
4 metres, 2 metres,...
'I can do this! (y/n), you can do it!'
Finally we were face to face. He looked at me. Oh.. that's gorgeous face. Everyone will agree he was prettier than me.
No-NO (Y/N)! YOU MUST FOCUS!
When I was collecting my gut to greet him, a unexpected situation came. He walked pass me without glancing at me. NOT EVEN A BIT!
Wh-what? It can't be like this. Ah.. screw all manners. I CAN'T LOSE MY GOLD MINE.
"H-hey.." Even after I gathered all my courage, what came from my mouth was still just a small voice. This the first time I was disappointed by my own voice.
"What?"
Hearing my calling, Khun turned toward me. Sure, member of the ten great families must has great ears.
I took a step toward him.
"H-how's Bam?" that's all I could ask right now. Sorry for not fulfilling your expectations.
Khun looks dumbfounded. He answered with a normal tone.
"Still not wake up."
"Oh. Thanks for telling me." feeling satisfied, I took a step back. Well, this much socialisation was enough. Good job (y/n)!
Khun lips tugged upward, making a sneer. He observed me with great attention.
"What's your relationship with him? You just knew him yesterday."
What's kind of conversation is this? Khun, even if you're my favorite, you can't be this suspicious of me. Now I kinda pissed.
"I just worried for him. He is my friend." Now I could speak to him without stuttering myself. Whew, so epic.
The blue haired boy make his smile more visible. His body also more relax.
"If you say so, then no worries. He just bleeding a bit. Nothing much has happened other than not waking. The medics also good here."
How could you say that' a bit'? I clearly remember all the blood was splattered around the area.
"G-glad to hear that." I turned my head. Not strong enough to face this descendant of Khun in front of me.
Oh.. God. I feel like can die at any moment right now. His smile make my heart weak. If Khun has one crime, it would be in this moment.
"If that's all you wanna ask, then goodbye. I have more important things to do." he continued his way.
Phew, a mission completed. To encounter Endorsi and Khun in short time, I don't know if this is a blessing or not.

That girl before. Did she knew about Black March? That's why she got close to Bam?
She showed an unexpected side in the last game. I must take more caution to her from now on.

Today is the position test. They told us to go to the big resting area which we used before the crown game. All the healthy regulars came here. I could see some familiar faces and new ones.
To explore this world without the reader point of view was amazing. I saw many things other people cannot. Some plotholes also got covered. This is, once again, awesome.
" Long time no see, regulars! Did you have enough rest? I know it wasn't that long, but I hope you spent it well. You all look very driven. Thanks to the break, I guess. I hope you guys all work hard on the test that begin today. Well, I will explain to you the test that will begin now. The test you are taking this time is-- positioning test! " the yellow haired ranker, Lero Ro, came and announcing the news.
" Yeah, I think a lot of you already have noticed this already. As you well know, the fighting in the tower is usually done in a team. The position is the role that you'll play during these battles . There are a lot of positions, but basically there is--
The fisherman, who disarm the enemy by using the reel inventory thus they're always at the heart of the battle. Of course, they can also carry out the individual activities.
Spear-bearer, who utilizes spear to target enemies from the back of finish off what the fisherman started.
Light-bearer, who lights up the dark tower, collects battle data and feeds it to the scout.
Scout, who scouts ahead at the very front-lines using the observer and assists the fisherman when he charges.
Wave controller, who controls shinsu to assists in battle or overpower an opponent. They are known to dominate the battlefield. " the rest was about the training will be held for a month according to our position.
Then a large cube appeared next to him. There was our name and the position on top of it.
I searched my name with so much caution. I don't want to be in the fisherman position because of those certain princesses. I also don't want to got into light-bearer 'cause of a person existence--*cough*
Rachel
With that kind of mindset in mind, my eyes swept all the names in scout position but none was mine. Nervousness began to form in me. Untill I saw the next column.
WAVE CONTROLLER
Pon Secal Lauroe
Hwaryun
Hoh
Lozeal
Grey
(y/n)
Bam
WHAT?! HOW CAN I BE A WAVE CONTROLLER? Is it because my power appeared similar to Bam?
The position of each regular was chosen based on the previous test. I vaguely remember the strange head grim reaper who fell mysteriously in front of my frightened state. Compared to Bam power when he protected Rachel, I could understand why we are in the same position.
When I busy thinking, a regular shout out, " Sir, what's that 'best seed' written beside the name?"
"Best seed? People with best seed was the one who did well in the previous test. One person was chosen per test and they get a bonus point in the final positioning" answered Lero Ro.
Then the room became noisy.
" W-WHAT?! YOU DIDN'T TELL US ABOUT THAT BEFORE! "
" I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE GOT THAT! "
" YEAH.. WHY ME?! DID I OFFER A BRIBE OR SOMETHING?!"
" YOU WERE CHOSEN! DON'T EVEN ASK!"
" Haha-- The best seed tag was given after a fair and thorough evaluation. I've got a lot to do, so stop asking petty questions, okay? " in split seconds Lero Ro smile changed to dangerous stare.
" Ah... ok... ok... "
The next to ask is no other than Khun.
" Hey, mr Ro! There are many injured candidates here. How can they take the test? "
" When they're more or less cured, they may start attending class. But the positioning class keep attendance scores. So it is a disadvantage if you miss."
"I think that's unfair. The injured will obviously missed some of the class."
" Of course, but it's his fault for getting injured. It's obvious that people pay for their mistakes, isn't it?"
"... Yes" with that, the chatting concluded.
Mr. Lero Ro also said the wave controller teacher can't come for 3 days. That means I got another 2 days off.
To be in the same class as Lauroe, Hwaryun, and Bam, obviously a scary experience for me. I, who want nothing but peaceful life, my fate already tangled with them. Looks like this is also my fate to fell in this world.
That time, I really wasn't aware of what that dark fate will bring.
