Lets calm down. This Hotel had always been full of monsters, was it not?
It was just the addition of another one who was pretending to be human. While continuing the conversation on the outside as if nothing was wrong, I accessed the messenger in my head.
Han Kain (Student): Park Seungyub. Can you hear me?
Han Kain (Student): Park Seungyub. Raise your right hand if you can hear me.
There was no response. As expected, the one in front of us wasnt Seungyub and it couldnt look at the messages. A longer conversation would only make us reveal more information than necessary and besides, Elena was already having a hard time controlling her expression so I ended the conversation here.
Well, I opened my mouth. Im going to study for the upcoming tests! Lets do our own thing for now.
Ah, test I think Ill go to the Old Main Building again though
I will get back to English then~.
Thanks to Ahris help, we somehow ended our conversation without making many mistakes.

Lee Eunsol (Teacher): What is it?
Han Kain (Student): Park Seungyubs location: Basement of Old Main Building. Fake Seungyub appeared.
Kim Mooksung (Teacher): Definitely fake?
Yu Songee (Student): Confirmed with bracelet and system window. Definitely fake.
Lee Eunsol (Teacher): That is good info. They lock us at the Old Main Building and make fake versions.
Han Kain (Student): Cheat sheet ready?
Lee Eunsol (Teacher) Ready for Korean History / Language. Others are up to you.

It wasnt easy.
There was a fundamental problem in our cheating plan. The Teachers Team didnt have access to all the subjects and the available answers were only for Language and Korean History, meaning that we had to solve the other subjects ourselves.
Even if I somehow solved mine as hard as I could, showing it to everyone else was another challenge.
Yesterday, the questions were all Multiple Choice so I could solve and upload them on the messenger for them to copy in the blink of an eye but there were going to be short-responses only today. There would be less than 10 minutes left on the clock even if I were to solve the questions as quickly as possible, so even if Songee borrowed my vision after that, how would she copy all the answers in less than 10 minutes?
Even if she did, it was hard to convey that all the way to Elena.
From what I felt yesterday, Ahri might be able to do it by herself but I had a feeling that it will be difficult for Songee and Elena to pass this test.
The strenuous lessons came to an end, and the inevitable evening test period approached us.
My predictions went wide off the mark in a completely unexpected direction.

The Korean History test went by without any problem.
As soon as the test began, Grandpa Mooksung naturally walked inside and roamed around the classroom like a test supervisor before casually approaching Songee. Right when he was next to her, Songee used the bracelet on him.
Although I couldnt exactly see it from where I was, it seemed that Grandpa had looked at the prepared cheat sheet while Songee saw the cheat sheet after borrowing his sight.
While glancing at them from a distance, I pulled myself back and gave a big stretch in a timely manner and received pieces of information.
Like a hologram, letters were floating on top of the table. This wasnt my first time having such an experience but the phenomena created by Diverse Perspectives was surprising no matter how many times I was exposed to it. It felt like I was living in a world with a highly developed Augmented Reality system.
I copied the answers to the answer sheet with a peace of mind and waited until the end of the Korean History exam.
Man~ I would have come first in the country if I sat my exams like this the whole time!
*
Language test.
I wasnt that worried. In fact, wasnt this going to be the same as the Korean History exam?
There was definitely less concern.
I should probably wait around a little until it was my turn. In order to avoid being suspected, I pretended to work on the test.
Actually, I knew the answers to some of the questions so maybe I should do about 1/3 by myself?

A massive disaster befell us.
Yu Songee (Student): 5 minutes.
Cha Jinchul (Teacher): Light, and a strange song. Im going in.
Cha Jinchul (Teacher): An extremely pretty person. She told me to follow, so Im walking down. My head hurts.
Han Kain (Student): Hyung?
Lee Eunsol (Teacher): Already?
Kim Mooksung (Teacher): Looks like
Cha Jinchul (Teacher): Kuhuhu. Fuck, I just bashed up five to death. My arms fell off. Its horrendous. Do not come here. This is not something you can solve by coming here! Run away. This is definitely not it! Leave. Get away from this school! Fighting is not an option. My heads gonna explode.
Lee Eunsol (Teacher): Calm down. Please calm down. We can meet again outside. Better explanation!
Cha Jinchul (Teacher): Seungyub woke up.
Han Kain (Student): ? What do you
Park Seungyub (Student): AHHHHH, ThEWOrLDISFuLLOFPaINDESPaIRSoRROw. WeSHaLLGAInPEACeTHRoUGhBEcOMINgONeE. AhHThELORdHAsGIVeNUS,PEAcEWiLLBEWItHUS.GAThER.GaTHeRTOGETHER.AHHHILoVEYOuaLL.LETSSInGTOgETHeR.THeWorLDBECOmINGONeTHrOUGHHAPpINEs
Cha Jinchul (Teacher): I killed Seungyub. Thats all I can do. This looks like a strange religious group. All of you, run away. Im killing myself.
That was all we got from him.
I opened the system window.

Teammate Location Information (*)
Park Seungyub: Dead
Cha Jinchul: Dead]
Han Kain (Student): Both Park Seungyub and Cha Jinchul dead.
Lee Eunsol (Teacher): Everyone. Get yourself together. We can meet outside.
Kim Mooksung (Teacher): Almost at conversation limit.
Lee Eunsol (Teacher): Conclusion. Cha said headache a mental attack. His arms fell off also a physical threat. Cha killed five, and said its like a religious group. There must be a lot. Each of you, think on your own.
That was where we reached our conversation limit today.
What we currently knew was this.
1. There is both physical and mental threat at the Old Main Building.
2. Its a religious group (?) with a lot of people.
3. Seungyub turned weird in the head. Jinchul-hyung killed five, before killing Seungyub and himself.
*
Lets think this through. It was the judgement of the physically strongest person in our group.
Fighting was not an option.
The fact that he deemed it was impossible to win even after killing five, meant that five was an insignificant number compared to the rest of them.
Unless we somehow had access to a mass-murdering weapon
This place was impossible to clear with what we currently had.
That meant we had to focus on escape.
1. At the Strange Family, distancing ourselves from the strange family which was the strange phenomenon back then was acknowledged as an escape.
2. At the Mansion of Fear, stopping Sir from progressing with the resurrection plan of the devil (the strange phenomenon of that time) was considered an escape. In other words, getting rid of the opponents chance to win and making it a draw was also another way to escape.
So what should we do in this school?
First off, we had no idea what the win condition of the group at the Old Main Building (the strange phenomenon of this school) was, so we couldnt use the second method. So maybe we should focus on escaping from this school for the time being?

The next day, during PE.
The Triathlon began.
