He couldn’t help but think about the saying, “don’t exercise if you’re handsome,” as it seemed to ring true in this situation. The attention and admiration he received from his peers were undoubtedly influenced by his physical appearance, and he couldn’t deny the unfair advantage it granted him.

“Did you firmly say, ‘No way, sir’?” Kelly asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Well… I did, but he kept insisting, and I felt really awkward,” Sylvie replied hesitantly.
Kelly watched our conversation with astonishment, concerned about Sylvie’s innocence. She suggested Sylvie try a more assertive response.
“You shouldn’t indulge her like that. Sylvie, instead of ‘No way, sir,’ say ‘Stop bothering me and buzz off.’ Try repeating that,” Kelly advised.
Sylvie fell silent, contemplating whether she could deliver a more assertive response given her innocent nature.
Meanwhile, I realized that half of the F-class students had already entered the dungeon while I was away at the armory. It seemed necessary for the remaining students to form groups of three, unless they intended to go solo or duo and informed the teacher.
Glancing between Kelly and Sylvie, I asked, “Shall we form a team?”
“I initially preferred going solo, but I’ll accompany both of you. I’m concerned about leaving just the two of you on your own,” Kelly replied.
Sylvie, observing her fidgeting, seemed eager to join me. She nodded shyly, indicating her willingness to be part of the team.
“Great, then we’re a team,” I declared. “I’ll be the leader. Let’s head to the most enticing dungeon.”
Just as we prepared to embark on our dungeon adventure, Deherit appeared out of nowhere, pushing Kelly aside and taking control of the dungeon entrance.
“Whoa! What’s going on?” Kelly exclaimed, clearly surprised by Deherit’s sudden appearance.
“Sorry, but we’ve already claimed this dungeon,” Deherit stated with a mischievous smile.
“What? There was no one here. What do you mean you’ve claimed it?” Kelly retorted, bewildered by Deherit’s assertion.
Deherit explained, “Well, all three of us suddenly had an urge to use the restroom. Now, would you mind stepping aside? We’ll be taking on this C-class dungeon.”
It turned out that Lacy was also part of a squad, accompanied by a mischievous-looking girl and a short-haired boy. Tensions rose as they confronted us.
“Cutting in line and starting a fight? How childish can you get?” Kelly criticized.
“A fight? Me? Even if you add up the scores of all three of you, you still can’t match me,” Lacy boasted, confident in her abilities.
Sylvie gripped my hand tightly, visibly frightened by the escalating situation.
Our leader, Kelly, stood her ground, unwilling to back down. However, I realized that engaging in a fight would be a loss for both sides.
Observing the tense standoff, I decided to intervene. “Listen, it’s not worth fighting over. Let’s find a resolution that benefits everyone.”
Lacy, who had harbored animosity towards me from the beginning, seemed irritated by my presence. It appeared that my reputation as an “Sex bitch collector” had contributed to her disdain. However, I remained determined to defuse the situation and find a peaceful resolution.
I stepped forward, addressing Lacy and her squad. “Lacy, I understand your frustrations, but let’s not let our personal grievances get in the way of our goals here. We can find a fair solution that allows all of us to enter a dungeon.”
With a moment of hesitation, Lacy considered my words. She glanced at her squad members, who seemed to share her initial skepticism.
Finally, Lacy sighed and nodded. “Fine, let’s set aside our differences for now. We’ll find another dungeon to explore.”
Relieved that a confrontation had been avoided, I nodded in gratitude. “Thank you for understanding. Let’s all make the most of our time here at the academy.”
The coldness in Lacy’s gaze intensified as her irritation grew. She couldn’t fathom why I, someone who should have been expelled from the academy, still remained. In an attempt to belittle me, she turned her attention to the pistol I possessed.
“Hey, D. What’s with that pistol? There’s no way a D-rank could have the money to buy something like that. Aha! You must have scrounged together your funds and bought it when our pro hunter wasn’t around,” Lacy sneered, a smug grin playing on her face.
I remained calm, not allowing her words to rattle me. “What are you trying to say?” I questioned, my tone steady and composed.
Lacy chuckled condescendingly. “It’s amusing to play king among the weak. It’s fitting for weaklings to lick each other’s wounds like that.”
I felt a surge of protectiveness for my friends. “Don’t insult my friends,” I asserted firmly, my voice carrying a hint of warning.
Kelly, sensing the tension, placed her hand on the hilt of her sword. She was ready to defend our honor. Lacy, however, continued her condescending tirade without hesitation.
“Friends? You can only call someone a friend when you’re on equal footing. Just so you know, my score is 2,500 points. How about that? You need to be at least on this level to be considered a ‘friend’ for the first time.”
I couldn’t help but feel disappointed by Lacy’s judgment based solely on ranks. “Isn’t it just pitiful when someone judges others based on their rank while making friends?” I countered, my voice laced with a hint of sadness.
Kelly’s frustration reached its peak, and she was on the verge of engaging with Lacy in a confrontation. But before any further escalation could occur, I decided to employ my legendary skill, ‘Insightful Red.’
