Chapter 7
[--The Constellations]
Hearing this I was stunned as I muttered "Constellations?" I have read about a novel where there are constellations that watches the human for their own pleasure
I think that novel was called "Omniscient Reader" but whatever
"What about the constellations?" I asked
[You've already passed the first level of the academy because of surviving the dungeon, in the next level there will be constellations that will be watching over every single one of you]
I raised an eyebrow confused and asked "And? What about it?"
[The constellations are a great threat and could kill you in a way you won't even know about once you offend them or be seen as a threat]
Nodding my head I said "I'm already well aware of that, but I have no intention of joining the second level"
The system was silent not knowing whether to say something or not
As time passed by it was still silent and I said "Do you want to tell me something else?"
After a long time the system finally spoke as it said [The system thinks that host won't be able to leave the academy that easily]
Confused I was about to ask what it meant but suddenly my vision was turned upside down and I lost consciousness

When I woke up I realized that I was inside an infirmary and slowly sat up
Looking around I found that I was all alone and was satisfied, stretching my arms and back I sighed
Just as I was about to stand up and go a voice suddenly sounded in the room which startled me!
"You're finally awake Han-wool-ssi"
Eek! Don't scare me like that you almost gave me a heartattack!
"Choi Kwan" I called out his name as he walked and sat down beside me
"How are you feeling?" He asked
I stretched my arms and said "I'm fine"
Suddenly I remembered something crucial and asked "How long have I been out?"
Choi Kwan's smile stiffened and i raised an eyebrow as I asked hesitantly "How long have I passed out exactly?"
Choi Kwan was silent but finally gave up and sighed as he said solemnly "Han-wool-ssi, you've been out for a whole week"
….What?!
A whole week?! How come I don't feel any starvation or weakening in my body then?!
[Answering to host's question, that's because while you were unconscious the health kept increasing by then which made the host's body fully recover the moment the host woke up]
Oh, so that's why, I see…
Just as I was lost in thought Choi Kwan suddenly spoke and said "I'm glad Han-wool-ssi was able to wake up immediately, the constellation selection is about to start the next month"
Hearing this I was surprised and blurted out "What about the incident?"
Choi Kwan lowered his eyelids as he heard this and said "They already took care of it, but, Han-wool-ssi, there are only seven survivors in total"
I was silent, I knew that there would only be six survivors but including me which turned into seven
I then remembered about the others and asked "What about the others? Are they alright?"
Choi Kwan smiled and said "They are alright so you don't have to worry"
Hearing that I was relieved momentarily when I thought 'Why do I suddenly care about the main characters? Didn't I wanted to avoid them?'
'Welp, anyway I'm going to leave soon so I'll just enjoy this experience for the time being'
"Can I be discharged now?" I asked
Choi Kwan suddenly frowned as he said "You're not fully well yet Han-wool-ssi, you just woke up"
"I'm fine--" Growl~
A loud growl sound suddenly sounded and the room fell into silence
My face flushed red immediately and I couldn't help being embarrassed but it seems that Choi Kwan didn't actually mind it and said "Let's go grab something to eat?"

Seven days later
"WHAT?!"
I exclaimed and shut my mouth immediately
I let out a cough as I asked hesitantly "W- What do you mean I can't quit the academy, sir?"
The head of the school stared down at me as he let out a cough and said "My apologize young man but! The academy does not accept resignation in school until the end of the year"
=o= ….Shit, why?!
I gulped down and asked "E- Excuse me but, may I know why?"
The head teacher laid back on his chair as he said "Unfortunately young man that is kept a secret unless the parents asked but what I know is that you don't have a parents don't you?"
….
Suddenly the room turned gloomy and the head teacher finally found what's wrong and quickly apologized to me saying that he didn't mean to but I still waved my hand and forced a smile before I left his office
I do know, I know okay? I'm an orphan, whether in my past life or here, I still have no parents…
Coming back to my dorm I lazed off and took a nice bath before going to bed, though it's morning we have no activities as of today
Ever since that incident there are less and less lessons now which made the students in the novel fell off track unlike the other academies
Now that I'm a student too and cannot quit…
What should I do?
