Interlude - Class C Special Ability Life Planning
After a while, we went back down to the classroom to say goodbye..
“Did everyone have fun??”
The homeroom teacher came in smiling and started talking..
Meanwhile, I was quietly thinking about where to invest my points..
[Current ghost story points : 364]
This system is like Daiso, no matter what you do, it is based on 100 points..
I have over 300 points now, so I have plenty of room to spend them on things I want to use..
‘It's been a while since I learned a special ability.?’
Special abilities similar to skills in RPG games.
Now that I think about it, it's been a while since I learned lip reading, but I haven't gained any new abilities yet..
So far, I've been lucky and managed to get through it thanks to my moment-to-moment sense and the help of my teammates, but you can't hope for that kind of luck every time..
This system, which operates beyond human perception, seemed like it wouldn't have to go through so much trouble if it was used well..
‘Okay, I decided to spend the 100 points on getting one ability..’
What should I do with the remaining points?.
Rather than using it to be strict, it would be better to invest in new features and use them to get a feel for it, like Deokhoon advised last time..
‘What features are there that I haven't tried yet??’
When I took a closer look, two things came to mind..
One is to raise the level of club members..
The other part is related to school facilities in the store..
‘I have no idea what the function of both is..’
What changes occur when you raise the level of members?.
It's like I suddenly become strong..
‘Rich! I have become very strong! Look!’
I suddenly imagined Gyeongwon gaining super strength and ended up laughing..
‘The second is the store’s school facility… hmm.’
When you enter the store menu, you will find numerous categories..
At first glance, it looked similar to an ordinary shopping mall category, but there was one strange item at the end called 'School Facilities'..
From what I briefly looked at on my own before, I remember that there were a wide variety of items ranging from the installation of vending machines and upgrades to the canteen to the large swimming pools and dormitories..
‘But it costs too many points and is of little use in catching ghost stories right away..’
As a large scale purchase of school facilities, products costing a few thousand points are standard..
I thought it would be a good idea to exclude it from the options for now..
“As I get older, I don't urinate as much.……
Standing at the teacher's table, I quietly opened the status window, ignoring my homeroom teacher who was saying something..
‘Okay, let's get some new abilities for now.！’

Title: Protagonist
Alignment: [Dual-facedness] Special ability :
1. Lip reading [Grade B]］
2. -doesn't exist-
3. -doesn't exist-
Quirk: Cramming When I clicked on the second box marked ‘None’ again, a window that I haven’t seen in a while appeared..
pot-
［The second ability is currently empty. You can unlock abilities by using 100 points.］
［Ability unlocked (100) / Go back］
‘Okay, click.’
[Consume 100 Ghost Story Points to unlock the second ability.]
Then, a cheerful melody made of 16-bit mechanical sounds rang out, and several words began to flash by in the second column..
》Tiding ding, tiding ding~♬
[···Ear - life planning - identity disguise - lip reading - copper……』
Swish.
[···Camouflage - lip reading - co-recurrence - fast walking - …….]
‘Lip reading is a skill I already have, but it's on the list again..’
What will happen if you acquire the same ability once again??
Are my skills just getting upgraded?.
Suddenly I became curious.
》Tiding ding, tiding ding~♬
[···Dexterity - co-recurrence - fast walking - detachment .]
The speed suddenly becomes noticeably slower..
Unlike before, I looked at it with a slightly more relaxed mind..
When I played roulette before, I was anxious and desperately hoped that a fraudulent ability would come out..
That's because I was in the beginning with no one to rely on..
Now I have a bit of a feel for this game, and I have already solved several cases with the members..
Like back then, I don't look at the only ability I want and feel sorrowful..
〉Tiding ding, tiding ding~♬
Swish.
Of course, it would be nice if good abilities came out and solved the cases with ease..
I don't think I'll be too disappointed, even if it's just a little help like lip reading..
I already have tremendous morale ability and talented members..
Right now, I feel fortunate that this special ability gives me a certain plus-alpha feel..
river tiding! ♬
Soon the roulette stops and a cheerful sound effect that only I can hear rings out..
[···Regression - Life planning - Disguising identity - Lip reading -……』

The moment I was confused and thought, “What is this?”, the ability immediately activated..
［The special ability Life Planning is activated.

[5Lift and release your foot after a second.]
As I sat at my desk and tilted my head, time was already passing by..
‘···5candle? Is it about now??’
Dang grand-
As soon as I heard a metallic sound from somewhere, I lifted my foot slightly and then put it down..
Then I felt something being stepped on under my slippers..
“Hey, my coin… my coin……
A male student sitting in the next section lowers his head and searches for something..
‘no way······
I waited for a while, then took advantage of the opportunity when no one was watching and bent down, pretending to pick up a ballpoint pen..
something under my feet.
100It was a one-won coin..
“my coins... Where did you go?”
‘ ···Indeed.’
It seems like the boy dropped the coin and it rolled towards my seat and I caught it with my foot..
They told me not to expect too much, and that was true..
The funeral time is over.
The six members of our ghost story club pack their bags and leave the playground..
“It's a lot of splatter because they're crowded around like this..”
“I know……
From handsome people to ugly people, from wealthy families to poor families..
Our group is a truly chaotic mix, with everyone from model students to worst students, insiders to celebrities, all mixed together..
Some kids in our class are looking at us, as if our combination is amazing..
“···“It’s a foot volleyball club.” After hearing Suna's words, I turned around and saw teachers crowded together like us in the parking lot in the distance..
Leaning next to the car and saying hello to each other, wondering if there is a meeting after work..
[The special ability lipreading is activated..]
[“I heard that he will come right after his appointment is over..”]
『We need a lot of help. Kids are mischievous these days..“]
[“I'm sure you'll be begging me to tell you about my first love..”]
Ordinary conversations related to work. At first glance, they look like ordinary teachers, but.
‘Is it a fight between the foot volleyball club and the ghost story club?.’
Some teachers glance at us as we cross the middle of the playground..
Gyeongwon and I walked while glaring at each other without avoiding eye contact..
The faculty and staff of the foot volleyball club are smiling and exchanging well-wishes with each other..
Eventually, we arrived in front of the main gate of Sunset and gathered together for a moment..
“great job. Strange from the midterm exam
Even incidents. This week has been crazy..”
“The manager also had a hard time.”
“Good job everyone.”
After exchanging well-wishes, we dispersed to our respective homes..
“Have a nice weekend……
“okay. If anything happens, everyone contact us in the group chat room..”
“bye~”
20After walking for about a minute, we arrived at our apartment..
I was going home, but suddenly I felt thirsty so I went to a convenience store nearby..
rattle~ ♬
“Welcome.”
A part-time worker who greets me without a soul when the glass door bell rings..
“Hey, it's a new product..”
I went to the beverage corner and saw a long can that looked expensive, so I picked it up..
[Light and exciting with low calories! Ultra Monster's explosive energy!]
Ultra Monster, a new energy drink released by Clover Corporation.
3,100one.
It is much more expensive than regular drinks.
‘···hmm. But do you really have trouble sleeping if you drink energy drinks??’
The picture of a rabbit with red eyes eating a four-leaf clover exaggerates the drink's high caffeine content..
Anyway, starting tomorrow is the weekend.
Even if I eat that now and stay up all night, it won’t be a problem..
‘It was already the weekend after midterms, so I was planning on playing games all night long.' I'm curious, I'll have to try it..
I've only drunk popular things like Hot Six or Red Bull..
This is my first time trying a real energy drink..
I picked up a drink and headed to the counter, and the part-time worker indifferently picked up the barcode scanner..
I opened my wallet to take out some money and suddenly realized that I didn't have much cash..
‘one, two……
The money in hand is 3,000 won.
Now that I think about it, I remember having no money so I used my points to buy snacks during lunch time..
‘How much was the drink?’
3,100one.
I quickly added the 100 won I picked up in the classroom earlier from my pocket and handed it to the part-time student..
“thank you.”
“good bye.”
rattle~ ♬
As I open the glass door and come out, the cheerful sound of a bell rings behind me..
It was fortunate that I was able to pay the bill right away without having to go back and forth awkwardly in front of my part-timer sister..
I opened the lid, took a sip of the drink, and thought..
‘It wasn't that useless of an ability..’
