[From the Author of Author's POV...] Emotions are like a drug to us. The more we experience them, the more we become addicted. The hardest part is not letting them consume us. But it's already too late for me. I've already been swallowed whole. *** I had no knowledge of the game. I was meant to have died. And yet, I found myself in this situation. A game I had never played before. A character I was unfamiliar with, and... A world that seemed to want to swallow me whole with every move I made. What the hell is going on? ...and who am I? *** Discord : https://discord.gg/PEbN7fc2ww
My bracelet buzzed.

A notification followed right after.
'Thirteen points, not bad.'
This was a good score for defeating a junior-ranked creature. Not only that, but the team's chemistry was impeccable.
I could now see why Jacob didn't want Linus on the team.
'He definitely didn't reject him because he hated him. He really can put down his arrogance when it matters.'
The more I knew this cadet, the more I liked him.
"I can put down my arrogance, but can you...?"
"Hm?"
Overhearing a certain voice, I raised my head, and a pair of eyes locked in my direction. Seeing his expression, the corner of my lips pulled up. He didn't look mad, but just disappointed. It was a funny sight to witness.
'...How cute.'
Could my decision be due to arrogance?
