“Your condition is… not too bad.”
I skipped morning exercise and went straight to the infirmary. The nurse turned my wrist, checked my shoulder and back, and nodded.
“The bones seem to be healed. Your muscles and ligaments are fine. You’re surprisingly tough.”
“Hahaha…”
That was probably thanks to my unarmed combat passive skill. The nurse did a few more checks before returning to her seat.
“Is that because you’re Instructor Ebi’s student? You can go back to class now.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. But don’t go to the dungeon. I can adjust your classwork, but if you fight in a dungeon, your bones will break again.”
“…Am I not fully healed?”
“Did you think your broken bones would heal in a day or two?”
“…”
I could go to class, but not do anything too strenuous. My final grade was at risk.
1. Chrono: 1,021 points
Record: [Cave Ant Extermination] x… [Soldier Ant Extermination] x… [Ant Captain Extermination] x… [Ant Queen Subjugation]
“…?”
I didn’t need to worry. The numbers were strange. ‘Over 1000…?’ This had to be a bug. But the logs seemed fine. When I added them up, the points matched. That meant he really had hunted that much.
“…The calculation is correct.”
His skills were beyond that of a typical first-year student. His stats were lacking, but he had caught up to most extras. His training with Instructor Ebi was paying off. His mornings of exercise were giving him results.
‘Maybe I can relax a little…?’
His stat growth had been unusually high. His skill proficiency too. All because he had ignored the heroines and focused on himself. If this were a game, he would’ve gotten six or seven NTR CGs by now, but he was an NTR villain. He didn’t NTR anyone.
Was it good or bad? Probably good. He moved to class.
“Take the week off.”
“Huh?”
“Take a break.”
“…”
The teacher sent me back. He was a good teacher. If he wasn’t chasing after female students, he’d be perfect.
“It’s okay.”
“…Do whatever you want.”
Despite his teacher’s kindness, he needed to be in class. The points he used to kill the Ant Queen were from a month’s worth of grinding. A month’s worth of hard work. He could only sigh at the loss.
‘But I did get something out of it…’
No. It was too much of a loss. He could have upgraded to higher tier skills, but his situation forced him to choose passive skills. He regretted it. ‘Should I have stopped time?’ Then he could have saved his skill points, but he wouldn’t have been able to save everyone.
‘But why didn’t I just…?’
He felt regret, knowing that it all could have been avoided. When he looked at other students, who seemed to blame him for not acting faster, he couldn’t help but feel conflicted.
“Haaa…”
After class, he went to the ATM and checked his account.
[5,445,165 points]
“…?”
The digits were wrong. When he checked the details, he saw that he’d received money for damages, request rewards, and other miscellaneous payments from Athena Guild. ‘Was the exchange rate 100x?’ He remembered that he’d get a hundred times the amount of money if he were to transfer it to his personal bank. That meant he now had hundreds of millions of Korean Won.
“…Ugh.”
He pulled his bracelet off the screen. The numbers just looked like paper. He knew that he should only have money from monster parts and request rewards, and therefore those two last digits shouldn’t exist. But his achievements caused that number to exist.
“Let’s eat first.”
His head was spinning. He went to the cafeteria and checked the menu. “Why does everything seem so cheap? Even [Deluxe Bomber] looks so easy…” A single digit of difference between everything else, and the Deluxe Bomber. A 1000 points of challenge!
“Let’s try it.”
But who cared? He had millions.
—!!!!
The taste of Deluxe Bomber was equivalent to a Deluxe Fighter using a Deluxe Bomber. A meat bomb. Extremely delicious. The un-microwaved taste was amazing.
After lunch, I went back to class. I swung my dagger and shot my gun. And in club time, I went to Instructor Ebi.
“…You want to… work out…?”
“Yes.”
“…”
“Sensei?”
She grabbed his arms and trembled, looking at him with a deep look.
“Yo…uth…!”
“…Huh?”
Where did “youth” come from?
“That indomitable spirit that rises up even after being crushed! That’s youth!”
“…Excuse me?”
Something was wrong. He needed to run away. The moment his instincts kicked in, Instructor Ebi approached.
“Do you want to be stronger?”
“Uh…”
“Do you want to be stronger?!”
“…Yes.”
“Then chant this spell!”
Asura balbal ta! Asura balbal ta! For some reason, he felt like he’d get better at Hanafuda.
“Ugh…!”
“ASEI! Don’t give up here! This is your youth!”
It was Instructor Ebi’s awakening spell. She pushed him even harder than usual. “You’re still not strong enough to defeat me!” she yelled, after checking his stats.
“Youth never falters! Fall apart rather than falter! It’s youth until you break!”
“Aaack! Aaack!”
He couldn’t handle it anymore.
“Yes! All answers must be ‘Ack!'”
“Aaack!!!!”
That was not what I meant!!!!
After being tortured by Instructor Ebi, I returned to my dorm, exhausted. I lay down and tried to calm my breathing, feeling a little empty.
“Something… feels off…”
He felt like he was missing something. He closed his eyes and thought.
“…Huh?”
Then a question arose.
“Where did everyone go?”
The main characters. He hadn’t seen a single one all day. It was unlikely that he had missed all of them. Even if he did, he should have seen them in class. Neither Juno nor Minerva would skip class. There were two possibilities.
First, they had been captured by an NTR villain. Second, they were doing requests for the finals.
‘The second is more likely…’
Even if they had been NTR’d, only one or two would have disappeared. If they were all gone, they were probably doing a quest.
“They went on quests without me…”
It wasn’t unusual. He was too busy on his own to wait around for them. So it was only natural that they made a party and went on their own. ‘But it still feels a little disappointing…’ He wasn’t expecting them to wait for him. But he felt a little disappointed. He didn’t know why.
“…Well, time to sleep!”
He was done with the finals. He’d just welcome them when they returned. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Several days later—
“Oh…”
He stared blankly at the mission notification.
“…What?”
Is this for real?

Hurry Chrono! You need to save Mars right now!
I’m guessing Ther, Juno, and Merk were a party of three. While Minerva and Mars were a party of two.
Is Ther also a captive at the Orc camp? Did he flee and abandon Juno and Merk?
Thinking about it the MC really has all the advantages here: he has a cheat skill as a main villain and because he’s recognized as a NTR villain his “prey”(any girl hanging around him) is instinctively off limits to most other villains
