Chapter 6.2
Chapter 6.2
Minho, what are you going to do after training today?
Im thinking of going to the library... Ah-yeong, are you fine with that too?
Park Min-ho! Did you betray our health group for your girlfriend?!
I also want a girlfriend... How do I make a girlfriend here...?
Fellow brethren! Quickly take up arms with a bamboo spear
*Creak*
Everyone shut their mouths at the same time as the restaurant door opened.
The atmosphere that was once noisy and full of life disappeared, and all I could hear was the footsteps of the maids and the dragging of trays.
Maids dressed in white and black uniforms pushed the trays in and started setting the table.
Despite having become very close with each other as classmates, it appeared that we did not have enough open-mindedness to feel comfortable in front of people from another world.
And that was the case for me too.
As we started living in the imperial palace, we were able to lead a very affluent life in terms of food, clothing and shelter.
Maids prepared well-ironed and tidy clothes every morning to match our fashion senses, and we are provided with three balanced and delicious meals every day while our beds are much more comfortable in this world than on Earth.
It didnt take up much of our time to do each of these basic requirements so that we could focus on integrating with the common sense of this other world and its differences from Earth.
On the face of it, the people of this world welcome us and serve us with great care.
But it would be foolish to let down our guards just because of that.
They may not have passed their judgment on us yet.
Thats probably why they are trying to collect information by confining us to certain areas to limit our range of activity.
If the people of this world have brains on them, they would have the maids collect our sayings and actions and report it back to them.
Like this, they can spy on us from a close range.
Thats why I cant relax and remain alert in front of these maids.
Im sure there are other secret magical monitoring devices...
But I cant quite grasp them, so I have no choice but to be careful with how I behave and carry myself.
Now is the time for both the people of this world and us to dig up information on each other.

Then, please enjoy your meal.
The door was closed with a farewell from the head maid, and only then did we start breakfast with a light sigh.
What book are you reading? Introduction to
Attribution , huh?
Yeah, Im studying in advance to prepare for tomorrows class. Youre doing that too, no?
Look.
While saying that, I showed Minho the cover of the book I was holding.
Modern history of The Kairos Empire
Wow, this book looks very interesting... As
expected of the first-ranked Jihoo.
Firstly, the goal is to complete reading it before tomorrow. But if that doesnt work, Ill just put it away.
And his book wasnt too bad either.
The current time is 6:00 PM after dinner. Today, our class received education on the imperial language and the caste system.
After class, we can do as we please until we go to sleep.
There are 3 ways to use our free time:
1. Go to bed after chatting in your room and playing around in your bedroom.
The downside of this method is that it is pointless and not as fun as you would imagine it to be.
How many things can you exchange with a friend who is going through the same experiences as you every day?
Still, there are many people who choose to do this because they hate the other two options.
Personally, I think its pathetic.
2. Exercising at the gym.
Its obviously to improve health.
Originally, it was a place to practice swordsmanship and spearmanship, but we are still not allowed to carry weapons.
I exercise three times a week.
3. Reading at the library.
I dont know why, but we do not have any barriers in our ability to communicate with these people from another world.
The words and writings of this world are naturally translated into Korean and Hangeul [T/N: Korean Writing system] in our heads.
Its good for those wishing to acquire information like Minho and I.
Or its a positive for those reading novels like Jihye and Ayoung who are sitting at the desk opposite us.
Ive read a novel called Swords, Love and Wizardry before, but I didnt find the time passing like for those main characters in isekai fantasy web novels back on Earth.
Anyway, I sat across from Minho and started reading.
In the quiet atmosphere, only the sound of paper being turned over can be heard.
Apparently, the noisy Choi Ji-hoons gang is at the training ground today.
And time passes like that.
It was dark outside the library window now.
Seong Ah-young went to the main building to chat with the other girls, and Ji-hye found a book on religion called Book of Light , sat next to me and started reading.
Guys.
?
Hm?
Minhos words broke the silence that had settled between the three of us.
He glared at a page in the book, then slowly raised his head towards us.
What do you think of the Empire?
Uh, Well I guess its the country we have to live in from now on...?
Jihye answered the question.
I nodded my head in agreement.
He shook his head at the response and asked another question.
Then what about this world?
It is a fantasy world where wizards, swordsmen, and attributes exist. A place which we have to adapt to as quickly as possible.
This time I answered and Jihye agreed.
Adapt...
Park Min-ho closed the thick book and pushed it toward the corner of the desk.
Why were we summoned to this other world?
If I knew that, I wouldnt be stuck here. What is it all of a sudden? Why are you asking all this?
I brought over the book he was reading to my hands.
I opened the book, but I couldnt tell what he had just been reading.
I thought it was just an ordinary book on attributes.
I think we need to spend some time talking about this.
His eyes, which held a wistful look, were deeply sunken.
Then why dont we hold a class meeting tomorrow?! With your authority of the class president!
The face of Ji-hye as she suggested having a class meeting displayed an expression of interest in finding something to play in the midst of such boring days.
Thats right. If you call, all the kids will come. And theres nothing much to do after class anyway.
Yes, yes. That would be great. Are you both going to attend?
At his words, we nodded.
** *
Park Min-ho finished his words and returned to the main building.
Ji-hye and I read our books for about an hour more before leaving.
We walk on the path from the library to the main building.
In my head, I could hear the Kairos Empire Modern and Contemporary History and Introduction to Attribution playing out loud- the books that Minho had left behind.
That guy, in the end, didnt say what he thought and left us alone.
Why were we summoned to another world?
The question kept running through my mind and I couldnt seem to concentrate on my own book afterwards.
I cleared my throat and looked up at the night sky.
Two moons were looking down on me.
The larger orb with a blue tinge is the blue moon.
The smaller dark red orb is the red moon.
This is clear evidence that this is not Earth.
Why had I not noticed that in the forest earlier?
I sighed and shook my head, shaking off the lingering questions and worries that seemed to cloud my mind like a fog.
Its honestly useless to think about it now.
January 1st: New Years Day.
The day we become adults.
The moment our attributes are revealed, our destinies will be determined.
