Novels are well known to be famous around the world, with different genres and different kinds of stories.
These novels were based on imagination or based on real people.
But the novel i had reincarnated was only based in fantasy.. Although it ain't that cliche, The main protagonist, kwan jihu, reincarnated into a cliche-like novel Namely; Light's awakening. Practically based on fantasy-like powers on people and the protagonist.
Even more, Cringey lines and plots, probably the reason why it didn't have any views back at his world..
Oh well..
[ Expressionless Awakener ]
'Welp...I didn't expect this to happen...' I thought as the teacher counted each student in line for attendance.
The place we have been attending for the group project wasn't really that far from school, although we had to walk a very long line there.
It was a forest that was owned by a rich man, and that same man needed the help of the students from the school to conquer a dungeon that was spawned here.
I doubt that it was either a strong dungeon, but my teacher's excited face made me feel like it would.
The dungeon was still occupied by other people who were investigating the dungeon. Probably to know what class the dungeon is and when it was formed.
The line was paired by 2 people each, forwarding to the direction of my teacher, who was still in attendance of each student that was present.
My classmates began to feel impatient, signaling the teacher to 'hurry up!'.
As for me, I was still shivering a bit, the cold and menacing air kwan jihu was giving was a bit terrifying, although i wasn't that scared much when i had a conversation with him, this awkward situation got me trembling the whole time.
As the teacher finished the attendance, he began to smile..... in a malicious way.
'Why is he smiling like that...?' I thought as i stared at the teacher with a nervous expressionless expression.
My classmate began to speak.
"Can we go to the dungeon now!!??" A student excitedly spoke loudly.
My classmates began to chatter of excitement, making the line of my classmates go to different directions just to talk about it with their partners or friends.
My teacher began to speak;
"The dungeon is still getting investigated. For now, we will wait here until we get news from the officers."
The fbi was still investigating around the dungeon, but it didn't take a while as one of the policemen began to approach us.
"The dungeon is now ready to get conquered, Here are the details of the dungeon, and well wait here for your return once you get inside the dungeon."
The policeman spoke as he gave my teacher a piece of information about the dungeon.
There weren't a lot of people around the dungeon, but there were a few cameramen recording the situation. even one of them followed and recorded the police man talking to my teacher.
I guess thats what happens when a dungeon randomly spawns somewhere.
"Now that we have information about the dungeon, i'll speak out the classes and its details, so remember to pay attention." Teacher alec spoke as he looked through the papers.
"This dungeon was found 3 days ago and its class is around B-A rank. if it's not conquered until next week... who know's! It's probably going to go on the dungeon break phase."
I stood for a while as i listened to my advisor.
'next week...? But that dungeon looks like it's about to go on a chaos fee if it doesn't get conquered right away.... and hold on.. B-A rank!?'
I thought as i stared at the dungeon nervously.
I groaned and sighed deeply and looked at kwan jihu once again.
'I guess it kinda makes sense.... after all, this entire classroom is part of one of the top three...' I thought as i groaned once more.
Suddenly, the system appeared.
[ Why feel so disappointed??? (~￣³￣)~ ] The system replied in an enthusiastic manner.
I stared at the system as i read the texts.
This feeling made it more of a mix of slight annoyance and disappointment.
'Maybe i shouldn't have accepted that quest, even if i die, i wouldn't have to experience this awkward situation....' I complained in dejection.
[ Don't be such a boring person Y,know! When you had a conversation with kwan jihu the first time, you said that you forgot almost the entire novel didn't you? thus it makes things much more fun and interesting! (＾3＾) ] The system replied in a chuckling text.
'Oh...Oh yeah! I should've used that excuse to kwan jihu when we had our second conversation!'
I thought as i read the systems texts.
[ Even if you had that excuse, kwan jihu would still use you anyway. ¯\_( ͠° ͟ʖ °͠ )_/¯ ] The system replied with an emoji.
I was quiet for a while as i read the texts.
'Then why the need to explain it to me...?'
I thought as i felt dejection once again.
As the teacher spoke the details of the dungeon,He finally spoke the details of our group project.
"Alright, now that i have told you about the dungeon and its classifications, i'll tell you about the details of our group project."
"For this project, will have a competition!"
"The rules are simple, whichever group has the most kills in the dungeon will be determined by the most points!"
"Each group will be given watches that can count each kill inside the dungeon. So don't even think about cheating!" He enthusiastically spoke.
Teacher alec each gave a group a watch.
The watch was designed by the school, Within its luxury and technology.. Can even detect a person when killing an entity. Whoever made this watch is simply a genius person, though it didn't really had much information about it in the novel.
"By that meaning, i'll count down to 10 seconds!"
The whole entire class got excited, screaming and preparing to go inside.
But kwan jihu is still in hes cold era, staring at the dungeon and tapping on air.
The teacher counted each second, and my classmates were getting ready to go inside.
As the teacher counted those last numbers, kwan jihu took hes arm and waved it in front of me, signaling not to move to the dungeon.
"Going inside at the same time will cause problems to the dungeon." He spoke coldly.
Actually, i already knew that. The classroom's energetic hype on going inside that dungeon made me hesistate for a while.
As each group went inside the dungeon, me and kwan jihu were the last to go inside.
As we went inside, i was a bit stunned by what im apparently seeing.
The dungeon is a jungle, made with many trees and vines, along with huge rocks.
Apparently, all the rest of the students went to their different ways and directions, so we were the only ones left.
Somehow, the situation got even more awkward as the silence began to fill up the atmosphere.
I looked at kwan jihu once more, He is still tapping on air.
Im guessing hes doing something to hes inventory slot.. but im not sure if it is hes inventory slot.
'Whatever...' I thought as i looked away.
We both walked through the jungle-like dungeon.
The atmosphere is still cold and awkward.. but i couldn't do anything about it.
Finally, kwan jihu finished what he was doing and stared at me for a while.
'Uhh... Whats with the stare?' I thought.
"Johnson..kim..."
Kwan jihu mumbled silently as he stared at me.
"..Kim.. whats your real name?"
He asked silently, but in a way i could hear it.
"My..real name..?"
"Yes."
"...my name is kim lee."
"Kim lee?"
"En."
I nodded as i spoke.
The atmosphere was still awkward and silent.. but after kwan jihu spoke, it got a little less awkward then usual..
But then again the situation is still awkward and silent.
As we walked through the jungle, We finally stood upon a cave.
Kwan jihu immediately went inside without hesitation.
I noticed and immediately followed him
'Wait up!!' I thought.
"Kim... are you sure the novel you read wasn't the one i read?" He asked coldly as we walked through the tunnels inside the cave.
"Uh...yes." I nodded as i spoke.
"Do you remember the entire novel then?"
"Unfortunately no, i barely remembered anything after reincarnation, it was super long ago.. i only remembered a few characters and smaller plots."
I answered expressionlessly.
'...'
Kwan jihu was silent for a while.
"After this, i'll lend you something that could make you remember the novel." He spoke coldly.
'huh..? What did he mean by that?' I tilted my head in a confused manner.
As we both continued to walk through the tunnels, we finally stumbled upon a cave with many...many.. holes.
'1..2..3.... ...How many holes are even in this cave..!?' I thought as i counted each hole.
Before we continued to explore around the cave, kwan jihu immediately prepared hes bone-like weapon.
I noticed and immediately remembered a detail i completely forgotten.
'I....I forgot my skills were unknown!!!'
I thought as i panicked myself in forgetfullness.
Suddenly, the cave began to rumble. The rocks from above began to fall and dust formed as it continued moving.
Before i knew it, i was behind a huge rock, hiding from what chaos will come.
'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'
I thought as i panicked and shivered in an expressionless manner.
Soon... huge sized ants came out of each of the holes.. there were in stacks and echoed through each tunnel as they come out of the hole.
But this is just the start of it.
Kwan jihu knew the moment he went inside this cave, so obviously he prepared hes weapon and activated his skill.
I continued to hide in fear, forgetting about the competition or the group project completely.
Suddenly, the system appeared.
[ What are you doing??? ]
'Hiding...'
I thought to the system as i panicked myself behind the huge rock.
[ Pfffttt... For you be in fear even tho your so quiet and expressionless! ] The system chuckled in the texts.
'Don't laugh at me like that! It isn't my fault that my skills are still unknown!... i think.'
[ Atleast check! You probably haven't check your status que. (눈_눈) ] The system replied wih an emoji.
I decided to look through my status.
.
.
.
'Oh...it's updated.'
[ !New! Skill name; One's Music battle. Description; ]
[ To fight in a battle, Battle it with the power of music! ]
[ Skill Rank; S-Class ]
[ Skill level; Level 1 ]
[ Mana consumption; 20 ]
[
[ !New! (2) Skill name; Music therapy. Description; ]
[ A healing through one's voice. ]
[ Skill Rank; S-Class ]
[ Skill level; Level 1 ]
[ Mana consumption; Depending on the wound or injury and how many people to heal. (Including yourself) Either; 5-30. ]
'Na...ni?'
'It really got updated!'
I thought as i continued to look through my skill status.
'But...'
I hesitated as i stared at each of the mana consumption and rank.
'Both is an S-class but... the mana consumption....'
I thought as i felt dejection.
Apparently, i only have the max mana consumption of atleast 25.
It can only depend on how much i waste on, but now that i have new skills, i'll have to waste them much carefully.
After all...
Lose of massive mana = Faint
'Yeah... No, Heck i'll waste my mana on these skills...'
[ Oh you will... ]
The system replied.
I was silent for a while before moving my position.
As i looked behind the huge rock, kwan jihu already killed most of the ants.
The ants weren't much of a big deal since there were either C-D Classes... and there killed pretty much easily.
Jihu's watch began to click and added random bell noises as he killed each huge-sized ant.
Along with each slash of hes weapon killing an entire hoard of ants.
'Too bad i couldn't help him, Im too weak to do anything about it..Even tho I'm supposed to kill other monsters for points, I'm way too scared to do that anyway...' I thought as i watched jihu kill every single ant inside the cave.
'After all, I'm just a D Rank healer aren't i?'
'But come to think of it, if I'm just a D- rank healer, how come i was still assigned to the classroom aurorawhales?'
[ Will...apparently, that class is the only one who welcomes even people who are lower than S-A Ranks, unlike one of the top two classes from your school, this one accepts your rank as long as you keep up with the dangerous activities, Or knowingly level up to a higher class as long as you have a skill that could somewhat be equal to the power of the classroom. ]
[ Kwan jihu used to be a C-class ranker when he was assigned to that classroom, But with hes training and activities assigned from the classroom, he was able to went up to S class after 2 years. ]
[ Also another reason why your assigned to that class after the banquet incident. ] The system replied, answering my question with 3 paragraphs.
'Oh...'
'I guess it kinda makes sense now.'
I thought.
As the disastrous chaos of ants finally ended, i came out behind the rock and looked around my surroundings.
The area was filled with blood,along with body parts of the ants all around the ground, some are even moving despite already being dead!
I was terrified from the situation as i closely stared at kwan jihu.
The atmosphere was colder than usual, and the air was filled with darkness.
'Maybe i shouldn't have come out of my hiding spot....'
I thought regretfully.
Suddenly, kwan jihu looked in my direction for a while,
His eyes were filled with bloodlust along with an expression as cold and menacing as possible.
The fact that the atmosphere was worse than our awkward situation... i haven't been able to move from my spot since.
Until kwan jihu took a few steps..he closed hes eyes and opened it again.
'UUUUHHHHHH'
I thought nervously as i took a step back unconsciously.
As kwan jihu took more steps, walking to my direction, He began to fully open hes eyes.
Hes eyes were less bloodlusty as before but the cold is still intact.
"Why didn't you help me?"
Kwan jihu spoke coldly as he stared at me menacingly.
I was quiet for a while, unable to answer hes question.
He sighed deeply.
"Will.. This part isn't even the beggining of it."
He muttered coldly.
"Huh..?"
I tilted my head in confusion along with the top of my hair resembling a question mark.
Suddenly, the cave moved once again, but instead of falling rocks and shaking the floor, the ceiling hole was bursted open instead!
The huge rocks fell into the ground as something huge came out of the hole.
It was a monster...namely; The ant queen.
The queen of all ants inside this cave.
The queen bursted herself out of the hole, making the hole opened widely then it originally was.
Kwan jihu and me, began to avoid the falling rocks as we stared at the huge monster.
I was horrified as i stared at it.
'Wah..wah..-'
I thought as i shivered in fear... in an expressionless way.
From the looks and size of the monster itself, i could tell that it was an A-class monster.
I looked at kwan jihu, he was as calm as an eagle, then stared at the huge queen ant from the ceiling once more.
'I hope kwan jihu finds a solution to this...'
I thought as i continued to shiver in fear.
