【View intimacy with characters.】
▷ Yeom Juwan (Lvl. 99, Intimacy 95%)(⇩4%)
▷ Gyun Junhwi (Lvl. 99, Intimacy -37%) (⇩27%)
▷ Ha Seon-woo (Lvl. 79, Intimacy 35%)
▷ Min Dorim (Lvl. 53, Intimacy 28%) (⇧2%)
▷ [NEW!] Ki Hyunmin (Lvl. 99, Intimacy -87%)
Minus 87?Haha... minus 87?The sky is really singing, the ground is shaking, my stomach is churning, and tears are welling up in my eyes.At this level, it's not intimacy, it's hostility. 'It's okay, it's okay. The future is what's important.'Once you hit rock bottom, the only way forward is up.Our relationship is definitely going upward!I tried to cheer up my depressed mood by trying to keep a positive mindset.

At this level, it's not intimacy, it's hostility.
'It's okay, it's okay. The future is what's important.'
Once you hit rock bottom, the only way forward is up.
Our relationship is definitely going upward!
I tried to cheer up my depressed mood by trying to keep a positive mindset.
▷ Gyun Junhwi (Lvl. 99, Intimacy -37%) (⇩27%)
The moment I saw the closeness between me and Junhwi Gyun, my motivation dropped again. I know why.It must be because Yeon Sora got in the way by becoming the freshman representative.Okay, so up to this point, let's say I can understand.
The moment I saw the closeness between me and Junhwi Gyun, my motivation dropped again.
I know why.
It must be because Yeon Sora got in the way by becoming the freshman representative.
Okay, so up to this point, let's say I can understand.
▷ Yeom Juwan (Lvl. 99, Intimacy 95%)(⇩4%)
The real shock was that the closeness with Yeom Juwan, which had been so strong, was suddenly broken and cracked. ‘Juwan, you too… .’ Weren't you my little angel?Why are you punishing me like this?My heart hasn't changed, so why has yours changed?Although it is regrettable, I can roughly guess why Yeom Juwan's intimacy has declined.Isn't it because Yeon Sora is getting more attention and Yeom Juwan is becoming a supporting character? The culprit behind all this is the setting.The setup is fucking awesome.Because the more powerful I become, the more my children are wary and suspicious of me. Let's curse the author who created this mess!!… but that wasn’t easy either. 'You knew that, didn't you?' <Doomed Academy> is a novel with a destructive and ruined ending from the beginning.I am the one who named that novel the work of a lifetime. And that's not all.Before I died, I sent a note to the author.To that author who loves sweet potatoes, I begged, 'Please, let me possess you in your Sweet Potato Land.' 'Yeah, I was wrong.' No matter who I blame, it will end up being my fault, so I decided to stop pointing fingers and try to think a little more constructively.Let's summarize the root cause of all this in one sentence. [The supporting role is too strong.] I wanted to enjoy my life and occasionally do destruction prevention work as a side job, but Yeon Sora is too strong for that.She's getting too much attention. If so, there is only one solution.Making Yeon Sora an ordinary supporting actress.I have to show my weakness in class and definitely fail in the Student Council elections. I clenched my fist and made that pledge. “Cadet Yeon Sora? Are you watching?” The person in charge's voice broke the immersion.The entrance ceremony explanation was already over a long time ago, and we are now checking the status of the entrance ceremony through a hologram screen. “Yes, I am watching.”“We will move after the Headmaster’s welcoming speech.” In <Destroyed Academy>, the Headmaster does not appear until much later.In the original, there was a nationwide protest by parents against the school, and the Headmaster was busy going to the protest site every day to appease the parents. A character who gets assassinated in a terrorist incident shortly after returning to the academy.He’s an extra with almost no screen time… . 'This person is the Headmaster?' She is an unbelievable beauty.A woman wearing a modernized hanbok one-piece dress with long blue hair fluttering in the wind.A spirit or fairy-like atmosphere.It's a crazy presence. “Hello. This is Seol Doyeon.” The voice is crazy too!It's like the morning dew falling gently! “There have been signs of unrest around the world recently. Statistics show that over the past year, the rate of cracks outside the tower has increased by 14%. This is a figure that is far beyond the margin of error….” The Headmaster unni was giving a speech in a beautiful voice, saying, 'The apocalypse is just around the corner, so you all must become great hunters.' <Doomed Academy> takes place at the end of an era of peace.Soon, irregular cracks, irregular dungeons, and outbreaks will burst out, but because we thought this was a temporary phenomenon, the damage increased. But the Headmaster is definitely feeling a sense of crisis. “You are the warriors who will fight for humanity on the front lines. Please….” Bb— The hologram window disappeared and the person in charge approached. “We're going to move now.” It is the order of entry for the freshman representative. * * * In front of the auditorium.While waiting to be admitted, the attendant gave us some final instructions. “The entrance ceremony is attended by all students, as well as members of the Academy’s affiliated organizations and the Board of Directors. Please refrain from yawning. There are a total of 12 cameras installed. Please be aware that your every move will be broadcast live.” He doesn't even spare Ki Hyunmin a glance and only directs his advice towards me.He looks very uneasy, and his expression has been rigid for a while now. “It’s okay, I won’t make any mistakes.”“Please, I beg you.” What's so difficult about this?Actually, I don't have much to do today.You walk across the auditorium, go up on stage, and recite the oath that people show you, and that's it. “The Freshman Representatives will now speak.” The door opened with the host's comments, and a large auditorium came into view. 'It's huge.' The auditorium where the entrance ceremony is held is quite large.In terms of size, it's probably similar to a gymnastics stadium. The stage layout and the huge hologram installed there look like a concert scoreboard, so it feels familiar.The stage size is roughly similar to what I saw in the other world, so the total number of seats is less than 15,000. There was a red carpet in the middle of the auditorium, and Ki Hyunmin and I were walking side by side on the red carpet. 'Are they shining?'‘With that appearance and talent… You have everything in the world?’‘They say this year’s Freshman Representatives are the best ever… ’ The whole auditorium is in an uproar.The stinging gaze felt here and there. It is a gaze of admiration.Envy.Longing.Curiosity.Jealousy. Everyone is envying me.I have never received this much attention in my entire life.But… I’m not happy at all. 'This is not my place!' Standing here, it becomes even more certain.I am not the main character.I never wanted to be one.Going on stage will only make me feel uncomfortable. Phew… How can I explain my situation now so that you can understand?In short, to hit the target with a stone, it's like this.I was going to my favorite concert, waving my cheering stick until my arms were about to fall off and shouting until my throat was hoarse when suddenly the CEO of the entertainment agency called me. — I’ve been watching you for a while, and your passion is amazing. Would you like to stand on stage sometime? Passion?Yeah, I'm passionate. The passion that doesn't miss a single glance or gesture from your beloved.The passion to fiercely appreciate and analyze the killing points of your favorites, and to create and distribute a commentary by biting and tearing at them thousands of times.The passion to start the day with your favorite bait as soon as you open your eyes and check for new bait every 5 minutes.The passion to endure the cold wave and sleep out on the streets for pre-recording. My passion is centered around watching.But it wasn't enough that this brainless CEO brought me up on stage, — You come down. This child will go up instead of you. It's a fucking shit situation where they dragged my favorite person off the stage.Somewhere in this audience right now, my favorite person is sitting. Looking up at me for taking his seat, he has a look of resentment in his eyes… 'It's true!' I looked around randomly, and my gaze flew like a ghost and centered on Gyun Junhwi.Gyun Junhwi looked at me with a dry face and then quickly turned his head away. 'This is not it!!!!' All this attention and cheering belongs to Gyun Junhwi.It needs to be returned.As soon as possible. If I keep doing this and end up becoming the Student Body President… it will be really irreversible.Earlier, Min Dorim gave me some advice… . — Student council elections are a popularity vote. Don’t attack the system, attack the people who vote. We need to bring down my popularity.There is no easy way to reduce the popularity of Yeon Sora, who is called the future national hero and a disaster-level ability user who uses the best pyromancy ever…Maybe it's because I'm so desperate, but my head is spinning so fast. Avid reader.Supporting role.National hero.A person with catastrophic-level abilities.Student President.Popularity vote.Yeon Sora's special ability.Start from the bottom.Weakness. Numerous keywords floated around, changing their order, and then fit together perfectly as if they were a puzzle.And, 'Found it!' There is a way.That's an incredibly good method too! But to pull that off… there is no better avenue than right now.Now that all the students are gathered in one place.This moment when all 12 cameras are focused on me. “Oath. All freshmen of the 26th class of the National Academy of Special Abilities….” Before I knew it, I went up on stage, raised my right hand, and recited the oath as I had been instructed to do.When I look at the hologram display, my face and Ki Hyunmin's face appear as big as a car.Yes, now is the time. Shh— I smiled brightly with all my might.So bright that it hurts the clown.Keep going. Never stopping. Forever. “…….”“…….” The commotion that had filled the auditorium suddenly halts.On the large screen, a lone elf was throwing scorn and disgust at the insignificant human race. A terrible silence fell. * * * After the entrance ceremony,Ki Hyunmin and I were called backstage and greeted the dignitaries.I took this opportunity to generously flash Yeon Sora's trademark eye-level smile. “I have high expectations for you.”-Shh (How dare you waste my time saying such an obvious thing?) Half of those who received eye-level education had stiff faces, while the other half turned red and blue. 'I heard that the third generation these days don't even have basic manners?'‘No matter how good you are, you’re still just a freshman… How pathetic.’ Yes, the sprout called Yeon Sora is rotten yellow.So, if there is a good opportunity in the future, please give it to the number 1, Junhwi Gyun! Next up is the freshman welcome party.It is a place where new students are released into a large banquet hall and allowed to introduce themselves to each other.I strode through the banquet hall, shooting beams at eye level. “Yeon Sora? Hi! I’m a fan!”-Shhh (Do you dare to breathe in the same space as me?) “Is it true that you showed off target/area skills at the Awakening Test?”-Shhh (You have no conscience, how dare you ask about my abilities. Your mere existence is unpleasant.) “I’ll cheer you on!”-Shhh (I don't want to be involved in any way with a worthless being like you.) After defeating a few as an example, no more brave warriors approached me. My evaluation was being overturned in real time. 'What is up with her?''Do you think you're really great just because we praise you?'‘No matter your skill, character is what matters….’ The operation was a success!If things continue like this, Yeon Sora will not even be a candidate, let alone the Student Council President. Then, the capable Gyun Junhwi will somehow rise to the top and fill that position.My baby can eat the main character! 'What's with that face? Isn't it totally mocking us?''Do you really have to trample on people like that? What a level…' I feel bad, but whatever. Since I'm possessed with this face, I'm sure I'll get cursed at.The only thing I can control is timing.And if you're going to eat it anyway, it's always better to eat it beforehand. 'If you eat it later, you'll die.' Right now, the Academy bulletin boards are already on fire because of the people who treat Yeon Sora, who is just sitting there doing nothing, as a national hero and elevate her among themselves. What if I get caught smiling like this much later down the line?As the controversy over my personality grows, I will be accused of treason, saying, "We thought you were a national hero, but how dare you deceive us!" But what if I get cursed at from the start?If I start with 'That girl, Yeon Sora, is a total mess', my smiling face won't be a weakness.Even later on, just ordinary actions can lead to 'Sora is responsible for the destruction of humanity'. This is the villainess cliche!If you hit it with a hammer, it's a total mess! Rather than being born with the face of a villain from a soap opera and then pretending to be good only to be accused of treason and be burned at the stake, it's safer to be a villainess cliche from the beginning!If I become a villainess, my child will return as the main character, and the world will not end! As the saying goes, if you can't avoid it, enjoy it. While we're at it, let's cosplay as a villain to our heart's content! I looked around with anticipation, “What are you doing?”“Sorry, sorry, sorry!” The smell of truth wafted from somewhere.That seems like exactly the situation I'm looking for. I walked towards where the sound was coming from.It's time for the villainess' debut!
TL/N: By this point I am so curious what Yeon Sora looks like when she smiles. But there is no fanart or official art of it yet!! Why!!! But there are indeed some unique scene illustrations that will appear a few chapters later, so maybe her smiling face will also be illustrated later on. I have hope.
The real shock was that the closeness with Yeom Juwan, which had been so strong, was suddenly broken and cracked.
‘Juwan, you too… .’
Weren't you my little angel?
Why are you punishing me like this?
My heart hasn't changed, so why has yours changed?
Although it is regrettable, I can roughly guess why Yeom Juwan's intimacy has declined.
Isn't it because Yeon Sora is getting more attention and Yeom Juwan is becoming a supporting character?
The culprit behind all this is the setting.
The setup is fucking awesome.
Because the more powerful I become, the more my children are wary and suspicious of me.
Let's curse the author who created this mess!!
… but that wasn’t easy either.
'You knew that, didn't you?'
<Doomed Academy> is a novel with a destructive and ruined ending from the beginning.
I am the one who named that novel the work of a lifetime.
And that's not all.
Before I died, I sent a note to the author.
To that author who loves sweet potatoes, I begged, 'Please, let me possess you in your Sweet Potato Land.'
'Yeah, I was wrong.'
No matter who I blame, it will end up being my fault, so I decided to stop pointing fingers and try to think a little more constructively.
Let's summarize the root cause of all this in one sentence.
[The supporting role is too strong.]
I wanted to enjoy my life and occasionally do destruction prevention work as a side job, but Yeon Sora is too strong for that.
She's getting too much attention.
If so, there is only one solution.
Making Yeon Sora an ordinary supporting actress.
I have to show my weakness in class and definitely fail in the Student Council elections.
I clenched my fist and made that pledge.
“Cadet Yeon Sora? Are you watching?”
The person in charge's voice broke the immersion.
The entrance ceremony explanation was already over a long time ago, and we are now checking the status of the entrance ceremony through a hologram screen.
“Yes, I am watching.”
“We will move after the Headmaster’s welcoming speech.”
In <Destroyed Academy>, the Headmaster does not appear until much later.
In the original, there was a nationwide protest by parents against the school, and the Headmaster was busy going to the protest site every day to appease the parents.
A character who gets assassinated in a terrorist incident shortly after returning to the academy.
He’s an extra with almost no screen time… .
'This person is the Headmaster?'
She is an unbelievable beauty.
A woman wearing a modernized hanbok one-piece dress with long blue hair fluttering in the wind.
A spirit or fairy-like atmosphere.
It's a crazy presence.
“Hello. This is Seol Doyeon.”
The voice is crazy too!
It's like the morning dew falling gently!
“There have been signs of unrest around the world recently. Statistics show that over the past year, the rate of cracks outside the tower has increased by 14%. This is a figure that is far beyond the margin of error….”
The Headmaster unni was giving a speech in a beautiful voice, saying, 'The apocalypse is just around the corner, so you all must become great hunters.'
<Doomed Academy> takes place at the end of an era of peace.
Soon, irregular cracks, irregular dungeons, and outbreaks will burst out, but because we thought this was a temporary phenomenon, the damage increased.
But the Headmaster is definitely feeling a sense of crisis.
“You are the warriors who will fight for humanity on the front lines. Please….”
Bb—
The hologram window disappeared and the person in charge approached.
“We're going to move now.”
It is the order of entry for the freshman representative.
* * *
In front of the auditorium.
While waiting to be admitted, the attendant gave us some final instructions.
“The entrance ceremony is attended by all students, as well as members of the Academy’s affiliated organizations and the Board of Directors. Please refrain from yawning. There are a total of 12 cameras installed. Please be aware that your every move will be broadcast live.”
He doesn't even spare Ki Hyunmin a glance and only directs his advice towards me.
He looks very uneasy, and his expression has been rigid for a while now.
“It’s okay, I won’t make any mistakes.”
“Please, I beg you.”
What's so difficult about this?
Actually, I don't have much to do today.
You walk across the auditorium, go up on stage, and recite the oath that people show you, and that's it.
“The Freshman Representatives will now speak.”
The door opened with the host's comments, and a large auditorium came into view.
'It's huge.'
The auditorium where the entrance ceremony is held is quite large.
In terms of size, it's probably similar to a gymnastics stadium.
The stage layout and the huge hologram installed there look like a concert scoreboard, so it feels familiar.
The stage size is roughly similar to what I saw in the other world, so the total number of seats is less than 15,000.
There was a red carpet in the middle of the auditorium, and Ki Hyunmin and I were walking side by side on the red carpet.
'Are they shining?'
‘With that appearance and talent… You have everything in the world?’
‘They say this year’s Freshman Representatives are the best ever… ’
The whole auditorium is in an uproar.
The stinging gaze felt here and there.
It is a gaze of admiration.
Envy.
Longing.
Curiosity.
Jealousy.
Everyone is envying me.
I have never received this much attention in my entire life.
But… I’m not happy at all.
'This is not my place!'
Standing here, it becomes even more certain.
I am not the main character.
I never wanted to be one.
Going on stage will only make me feel uncomfortable.
Phew… How can I explain my situation now so that you can understand?
In short, to hit the target with a stone, it's like this.
I was going to my favorite concert, waving my cheering stick until my arms were about to fall off and shouting until my throat was hoarse when suddenly the CEO of the entertainment agency called me.
— I’ve been watching you for a while, and your passion is amazing. Would you like to stand on stage sometime?
Passion?
Yeah, I'm passionate.
The passion that doesn't miss a single glance or gesture from your beloved.
The passion to fiercely appreciate and analyze the killing points of your favorites, and to create and distribute a commentary by biting and tearing at them thousands of times.
The passion to start the day with your favorite bait as soon as you open your eyes and check for new bait every 5 minutes.
The passion to endure the cold wave and sleep out on the streets for pre-recording.
My passion is centered around watching.
But it wasn't enough that this brainless CEO brought me up on stage,
— You come down. This child will go up instead of you.
It's a fucking shit situation where they dragged my favorite person off the stage.
Somewhere in this audience right now, my favorite person is sitting. Looking up at me for taking his seat, he has a look of resentment in his eyes…
'It's true!'
I looked around randomly, and my gaze flew like a ghost and centered on Gyun Junhwi.
Gyun Junhwi looked at me with a dry face and then quickly turned his head away.
'This is not it!!!!'
All this attention and cheering belongs to Gyun Junhwi.
It needs to be returned.
As soon as possible.
If I keep doing this and end up becoming the Student Body President… it will be really irreversible.
Earlier, Min Dorim gave me some advice… .
— Student council elections are a popularity vote. Don’t attack the system, attack the people who vote.
We need to bring down my popularity.
There is no easy way to reduce the popularity of Yeon Sora, who is called the future national hero and a disaster-level ability user who uses the best pyromancy ever…
Maybe it's because I'm so desperate, but my head is spinning so fast.
Avid reader.
Supporting role.
National hero.
A person with catastrophic-level abilities.
Student President.
Popularity vote.
Yeon Sora's special ability.
Start from the bottom.
Weakness.
Numerous keywords floated around, changing their order, and then fit together perfectly as if they were a puzzle.
And,
'Found it!'
There is a way.
That's an incredibly good method too!
But to pull that off… there is no better avenue than right now.
Now that all the students are gathered in one place.
This moment when all 12 cameras are focused on me.
“Oath. All freshmen of the 26th class of the National Academy of Special Abilities….”
Before I knew it, I went up on stage, raised my right hand, and recited the oath as I had been instructed to do.
When I look at the hologram display, my face and Ki Hyunmin's face appear as big as a car.
Yes, now is the time.
Shh—
I smiled brightly with all my might.
So bright that it hurts the clown.
Keep going. Never stopping. Forever.
“…….”
“…….”
The commotion that had filled the auditorium suddenly halts.
On the large screen, a lone elf was throwing scorn and disgust at the insignificant human race.
A terrible silence fell.
* * *
After the entrance ceremony,
Ki Hyunmin and I were called backstage and greeted the dignitaries.
I took this opportunity to generously flash Yeon Sora's trademark eye-level smile.
“I have high expectations for you.”
-Shh (How dare you waste my time saying such an obvious thing?)
Half of those who received eye-level education had stiff faces, while the other half turned red and blue.
'I heard that the third generation these days don't even have basic manners?'
‘No matter how good you are, you’re still just a freshman… How pathetic.’
Yes, the sprout called Yeon Sora is rotten yellow.
So, if there is a good opportunity in the future, please give it to the number 1, Junhwi Gyun!
Next up is the freshman welcome party.
It is a place where new students are released into a large banquet hall and allowed to introduce themselves to each other.
I strode through the banquet hall, shooting beams at eye level.
“Yeon Sora? Hi! I’m a fan!”
-Shhh (Do you dare to breathe in the same space as me?)
“Is it true that you showed off target/area skills at the Awakening Test?”
-Shhh (You have no conscience, how dare you ask about my abilities. Your mere existence is unpleasant.)
“I’ll cheer you on!”
-Shhh (I don't want to be involved in any way with a worthless being like you.)
After defeating a few as an example, no more brave warriors approached me. My evaluation was being overturned in real time.
'What is up with her?'
'Do you think you're really great just because we praise you?'
‘No matter your skill, character is what matters….’
The operation was a success!
If things continue like this, Yeon Sora will not even be a candidate, let alone the Student Council President. Then, the capable Gyun Junhwi will somehow rise to the top and fill that position.
My baby can eat the main character!
'What's with that face? Isn't it totally mocking us?'
'Do you really have to trample on people like that? What a level…'
I feel bad, but whatever. Since I'm possessed with this face, I'm sure I'll get cursed at.
The only thing I can control is timing.
And if you're going to eat it anyway, it's always better to eat it beforehand.
'If you eat it later, you'll die.'
Right now, the Academy bulletin boards are already on fire because of the people who treat Yeon Sora, who is just sitting there doing nothing, as a national hero and elevate her among themselves.
What if I get caught smiling like this much later down the line?
As the controversy over my personality grows, I will be accused of treason, saying, "We thought you were a national hero, but how dare you deceive us!"
But what if I get cursed at from the start?
If I start with 'That girl, Yeon Sora, is a total mess', my smiling face won't be a weakness.
Even later on, just ordinary actions can lead to 'Sora is responsible for the destruction of humanity'.
This is the villainess cliche!
If you hit it with a hammer, it's a total mess!
Rather than being born with the face of a villain from a soap opera and then pretending to be good only to be accused of treason and be burned at the stake, it's safer to be a villainess cliche from the beginning!
If I become a villainess, my child will return as the main character, and the world will not end!
As the saying goes, if you can't avoid it, enjoy it. While we're at it, let's cosplay as a villain to our heart's content!
I looked around with anticipation,
“What are you doing?”
“Sorry, sorry, sorry!”
The smell of truth wafted from somewhere.
That seems like exactly the situation I'm looking for.
I walked towards where the sound was coming from.
It's time for the villainess' debut!
TL/N: By this point I am so curious what Yeon Sora looks like when she smiles. But there is no fanart or official art of it yet!! Why!!! But there are indeed some unique scene illustrations that will appear a few chapters later, so maybe her smiling face will also be illustrated later on. I have hope.
