THE BENEFACTOR (English) 13
'HYACINTH should be expelled.' That's the only simple yet practical thing to do in order to defeat the protagonist. But how to make that possible? That's quite a problem to behold. Denise agreed to be her lackey. Jana was in an awkward position everytime that Denise follows her around and denying it whenever someone is asking. It was quite hard to dispel the questions of her classmate. She, herself, can't see why does Denise needs to follow her everywhere. "Most of the villains get killed all of a sudden. That leads to the reason why I lose without even trying! Now that I know who you are and the role that you play, I need to protect you at all cost!" "Ah…" Jana tilted her head to the right and blinked furiously. "Do you even know my name?" "Myriad White! A student of mine." Denise answered with confidence. "How about we take a break? My mind couldn't keep up with the lessons. It's too hard." "So you know that you have to teach? You will get ourselves blown because of what

"WHEN are you going to use it?" Spencer's mouth opened wide to accept the large piece of cake that Jana was feeding him. He was busy prodding the computer for CCTV footages. As to when did he manage to get the hard drive, Jana needn't ask him about it. The way he smiled when he wiggled the flash drive in front of her speaks volume of his misdeeds. "Although I'm not fully convinced that she's really into something that may harm me, getting her expelled will not do anything to me. You're my friend so... I'll be supportive this time." Because Hyacinth didn't use Spencer's obscene pictures with Tasha, it made him convinced that maybe Hyacinth was only there in the wrong timing. Jana couldn't help but be amazed with the protagonists' innocent halo. Even if the evidence was clear, the non-player characters ultimately thought of them as someone who could never do anything bad. "Continue to follow her movements for a week and we'll see if you won't change your mind." Jana lowered the paper

JANA ROLLED out of bed with a frown. Her head aches. "Vivien, do you have something that can help me alleviate this pain?" "Host, it's good that you remembered me." The mechanical voice sighed. Jana was amused to know this human-like feature of this Ai. "The last mission got me an upgrade. You can now adjust your body constitution depending on your own will too!" Jana bit her lips with expectation. "Is this my 'cheat', then?" "Slim chance, host. That's very unlikely. Player Denise can also change her constitution but it also has to remain within the world's logic. Hence, it will be hard explaining the strange condition of your body." She hissed. "Yeah, now that I think about it— your upgrade has its pros and cons." "Nothing's free in the world, host. One cannot enjoy something without limitation. If not, then our lives should be endless." "Who says everyone enjoys living?" Jana yawned. "There will always be a person who thinks otherwise." Vivien breathed out again. Jana c

The papers laid listless in front of Jana. After biting her lower lips 'til it has gotten a red hue, she unwillingly submitted to disappointment. Still, she could not accept that her efforts went to waste. "Vivien, are there any safe hidden inside this room?" "The system has scanned the place as we arrived, host. There's no such thing." 'How can that be? The director sure has to keep something valuable inside his office!' "With the school's practices, it's not a surprise to know that the director hides all of his important belongings inside his personal chamber. After all, this small office barely has something that looks significant to his person." Jana considered Vivien's words. She agreed silently. With the careful set-up of Hyacinth's plan, her backer should be someone with a cautious personality. That's right. Even inside this small but lavish office, it seems like the man never liked to stay here if it doesn't require work. He barely has any personal belongings inside.

"HAND it over." Jana opened her hands with fingers widespread. She resembled an angry child asking for a candy. And Austin will not give it to her. "What do you mean?" he asked with expressions quite innocent. "Your camera. I want to find something from the event yesterday." "It's not my fault that you took an absence without actually telling me why." He scolded. "It's not 'something', is it? What you're seeking for is 'someone'." Jana didn't expect him to catch up quickly. For the most part, Austin has always played the role of a passive team mate in this little group of three person that she built. He was the type who will only come into play when he has something to do. "Austin…" She knows about his emotional development with the protagonist. Trusting him right now will seem like a joke. "I know you won't understand why I'm doing this but if you continue to go against my way, don't blame me for being harsh." His eyes flashed with a rare sight of confusion. "What do you mea

Felicity sat dejectedly in front of her book. The tests are coming and she need to work hard just like everybody else does. Unfortunately, Hyacinth took a large chunk off of her concentration that day. She can't read a thing with proper understanding. "Have you seen Melody?" Felicity raised her head to look at Sarah. She's a chubby girl living next to her dorm. They were not classmates but it's not difficult to know her in the crowd. She's loud and a little chubby. "Yes. Not too long ago." Felicity pointed at the librarian's desk. "I think she just left." "Ugh... don't be friends with her, okay? She's a scheming lizard. She even left me here." She displayed a timely smile before duking her head back to the book. Sarah has a weird relationship with her friends. They always fight but they won't leave each other alone. 'Maybe that's why Hyacinth wants to target them.' The girl didn't tell her what's the ruckus all about but she hinted about the three friends who were stupid

Jana didn't have the chance to call Austin and apologize for the second time the next day. When the exam is fast approaching them and Hyacinth, the living threat above her head, is just around the corner, she have no time to spare him. Clocking out of the school, Jana hugged her coat to her chest. She hailed a taxi and drove to the address that Denise gave her yesterday. It was a private hospital near the school. The place where Lizzy was sent when her accident happened. Jana played with the watch on her wrist. She made a schedule in her mind. After this visit, she has to study. The math subject in particular. There's no way to master that in just one sitting. Just as when she was wondering where to get breakfast, her phone rang loudly. She picked it up without looking. "Myr?" Spencer's hoarse voice greeted her ear. "Where are you? Austin wants to invite you for breakfast." "You guys are going out of school?" She leaned to the backseat and sigh heavily. "It's a pity then. I

The hospital was strangely familiar to Jana. The cold air was bitting incessantly on her skin. It was the least of her favorite sensations in the world. The roles she's offered to play were all either canon fodders with tragic ending, or villains with the same tragic ending. At first, she was vexed and angry about the OOC feature. It was hard trying to save yourself but you're not allowed to move outside the comfort zone of the character that you're acting as. Now with the crisp promise of being free after completing ten mission consecutively and the damned OOC feature finally turned off, Jana couldn't be happy enough. This is practically a golden leaf bestowed to her. There's no way she's going to let the chance pass by. "Hello, miss. I'd like to know Lizette Drake's room number." The nurse behind the desk was incredibly young and friendly. She even smiled a little with Jana. "May I know your relationship with the patient, ma'am?" "I'm… her classmate. Myriad White." Jana fidge
