THE BENEFACTOR (English) 10
She was played. Jana didn't even notice it. While she was busy feeling happy over Hyacinth's petty act, she didn't see how the protagonist deflected her from her original plan. Stop Natasha, Melody and Sarah from being expelled. Jana now knew who's the co-player inside this instance. It's the protagonist herself. Jana stood and padded her way out of the club room they rented. "I'm sorry. I have to go elsewhere. Do your bath now, Austin. For pete's sake, you stink!" "I stink?" Austin grumbled, "You're looking at me like I'm a walking pizza earlier!" She pretended as if she couldn't hear him. In fact, she had long lost her sense of shame. Embarrassment won't let her live long and survive here. She would rather act frivolous than die doing nothing. Hyacinth manage to astound her in just one move. It's not too much to assume that the woman already knew her role. Hyacinth will dimiss her soon. She can't let her have her own way. Jana can't do anything during night time. Bu

"I didn't know what you'd like to eat so... I picked these." Hyacinth smiled so sweetly. Jana was sickened to the stomach just by seeing her lame actions. "I'm sorry but... I recalled you chose this salad the first time we ate together. See? I remembered!" 'No, you didn't. You didn't remember anything.' Jana couldn't open her mouth and say she couldn't eat a plate with all greens and no meat. This is plain torture to her palate. Hyacinth's overly dramatic voice has attracted other students' attention. If Jana refused to eat this, Hyacinth may act all sad and even voice out her disappointment in her shrill voice. Then, in the end, she will be rumoured as a snub. So Jana, swallowing her pride and the task to eat grass for dinner, chose to nod graciously. "You got it right. Thank you. The drink is fine too." Hyacinth didn't hide her smirk. Jana lowered her head and pretended to not see anything. She mustered a lot of courage to take a piece of leaf and put it directly in her mouth

"MS. DENISE! Look here!" Jana exerted a lot of effort to lengthen her neck and call relentlessly. "Teacher! Look at me!" Denise finally stopped. She didn't look friendly as she knocked her forehead. "What is it? You keep calling me. I'm done with the lesson. Did I miss something and you want to report me to the headmaster?" Jana closed her mouth. She stared at her evenly before enunciating, "I am a player in this game. Just like you. Now can we talk properly?" Denise' eyes bulged two times its original size. Her gasp almost swallowed Jana whole. "You... you!" "Me? Me!" she squealed, "I"m the reason why you died on the last level!" Jana saw her mouth formed into a smile. Yet before she could let it out, Jana's words made her stop. "Stupid!" She gathered her notes before unceremoniously bashing Jana's head with it. "Stupid! You could've find another way to overcome the situation without actually killing me! I have the unfortunate role of being the villain's lackey throughout th

'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
