"Arghh!"
Lying on my bed, I couldn't help but let out a frustrated groan after scrolling through the text ssage again and again.
Each ti, I expected the written contents of the text ssage to change. But it didn't happen.
No matter how many tis I may scroll through it, it was the sa! I was assigned to be in unit 18, just like in the novel!
Well, it's on . I forgot about this and did nothing to change the outco. I was too focused on staying away from the protagonist and stealing a cheat item.
"Arghhh! Just fuck sideways!"
In the novel, Unit 18 of class 1-A-1 consisted of three main characters, one side character, and the first minor villain of the novel.
This unit played a huge role in moving the plot forward.
mbers of a Unit must not only work together during training but also cooperate with each other during events in order to showcase their teamwork.
This cooperation ultimately affects the number of rit points they will receive at the end of the month.
In short, in order to preserve their individual gains, the cadets were forced to cooperate together for mutual benefits.
"Please, kill already," I put a hand over my face and let out a lazy groan while rolling all over my bed.
In the novel, the role of Unit 18 was to develop the relationship between the three main characters and ruin their impression of Lucas even further.
That, in turn, infuriated Nero, the protagonist, even more during his duel with Lucas, causing him to go out of his way to humiliate the disowned noble boy.
Ding–!
Right, when I was in the midst of wailing like a spoiled child who found out Santa wasn't real, a notification sound rang in my smart bracelet.
Frowning, I scrolled down the notification bar and saw it was from the academy's ssaging app. Without thinking much, I clicked on it but instantly regretted my decision.
From the screen of my smart bracelet, a holographic chat window projected out in front of .

⟨Rank 000025 Nero Dekrauf created 'Unit 18 Group Chat' on March 5, 2723⟩
⟨You were added⟩
[Nero Dekrauf is typing…]
[Alia Black: I told you not to add him!]
[Kent Takeahint: He did already….]
[Anastasia Bigod: How do you use emojis again?]
===
I almost threw away my smart bracelet as soon as I accidentally opened up the group chat.
It seems like not only was I added last, but from the looks of it, I wasn't wanted there to begin with.
The smart bracelet provided by the academy can function as a communication device.
If you want, you could request the contact information of your peers from the faculty by providing them with a good enough reason.
And I guess being in the sa Unit together was a good enough reason for Nero to obtain my contact information.
And judging from the circumstantial pieces of evidence, after Nero acquired my contact information, he added to the group chat that he created before Alia could persuade him not to do that.
"Haaa," letting out an exasperated sigh, I started scrolling through the text ssages, lurking silently.
===
[Anastasia Bigod: How do you use emojis again?]
[Nero Dekrauf is typing…]
[Alia Black: Dude how long does it take you to type a sentence?!?!?]
[Kent Takeahint: Lolol! And he's a top ranker! Lol!]
[Alia Black: Ikr? One might think he would be fast with his hands]
[Kent Takeahint: XD]
[Anastasia Bigod: Guys! Stop ignoring ! (T‿T)]
===
Good grief, they talk like a bunch of annoying toddlers going through puberty!
Oh, wait… they are teenagers. Never mind, my bad.
===
[Nero Dekrauf: Guys, rember. The academy will allot us rit points based on our synergy with other things. So it's in our best interest to work with each other.]
[Alia Black: I don't careeeeee!]
[Kent Takeahint: @Nero_Dekrauf#000025 you chat so formally! With all the punctuation marks and all! Lolololol!]
[Anastasia Bigod: @Alia_Black#009468 y'know Nero is right. The rit points we'll get can be useful when buying weapons or Martial Art techniques. We should try to make the best of what we are being offered.]
[Alia Black: Arghhhh! Fine! I'll work together with that ass but if he dares do anything funny I'll shoot him with an arrow in his fucking nuts!]
[Kent Takeahint: Lololol!]
===
As I read that, I couldn't help but involuntarily grab my groin region.
A young maiden shouldn't be using such words! And talking about shooting a man in his family jewels?!
Blasphemy! It's a cri worthy of death!
===
[Nero Dekrauf: Okay, now with that out of the way, what do you all think about eting at my place in an hour? You know, since only 2 out of 5 people in our unit know how to use magic spells.]
[Kent Takeahint: Ye ye! I was about to ask you to teach myself!]
[Anastasia Bigod: In an hour. You an at 5:30? Sure.]
[Alia Black: Fine.]
===
And after that, suddenly the chat group went silent. Maybe they all went to get ready.
And since I was lurking, I could just not go and probably make an excuse later about how I missed the texts because I didn't check my smart bracelet!
Yes! I'm a fucking genius!
Phew. Crisis averted.
===
[Alia Black: Why is that guy not answering?]
[Kent Takeahint: Is he… ignoring us?]
[Alia Black: See! I told you! That guy is unreasonable! He probably thinks he's too good to grace us peasants with his presence or so shit!]
[Anastasia Bigod: Soone ping him. I think he's not reading.]
[Alia Black: It's showing a blue tick under all ssages. Everyone, him included, is reading]
===
What the fuck?!
What the actual fuck?!
What in the na of god's fuck?!
Instantly, I checked, and sure enough, two blue ticks were displaying under all the text ssages that were sent in the group chat.
Why?!
Just why?!
Why does this app have a blue tick system? It's the worst enemy of us chat lurkers!
===
[Anastasia Bigod: Still he could be AFK. Soone ping him.]
[Nero Dekrauf: @Lucas_Morningstar#116969 c're and answer our question. Can you co to my place in an hour?]
[Alia Black: @Lucas_Morningstar#116969 @Lucas_Morningstar#116969 @Lucas_Morningstar#116969 @Lucas_Morningstar#116969]
[Anastasia Bigod: Hey don't ping spam him…]
[Kent Takeahint: Lololol!
[: @Nero_Dekrauf#000025 Yeah sure I'll be there]
[Anastasia Bigod: See (*˘︶˘*)]
[Alia Black: Tsk]
[Nero Dekrauf: Great. I'll send my location here.]
===
As I put down my smart bracelet, tears dripped down my face. I just wanted to jump off this bed and end my life.
I blundered.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think the academy's ssaging app would have a blue tick feature.
Well, it could've played down even worse but I think I handled the situation pretty well, right?
"Fuuu!" Letting out a sigh, I clenched my fist.
Fine. If I can't avoid the main characters now, then I'll do my best to give them at least not any reason to hate even more.
By doing that, I'll not make myself a target of Nero. I think?
