Survive in Azure Files

“That’s not the case,” Sumire retorted. “Sports require perseverance and seriousness. If not…”

"If not that?"

Seeing that Sumire seemed to be hesitant to speak, I couldn’t help but repeat it.

"It will cause... muscle loss."

At this point, Sumire shuddered.

As I looked at her flat belly with a six-pack but no obvious abdominal muscles, and her shoulders and slender hands with feminine lines, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

The physical condition of Kivotos students... seems... to make little difference whether they exercise or not, right?

Oh, still a little bit.

The best counterexample suddenly came to my mind: Kotoli, who obviously lacks exercise.

However, the place of Kivotos is probably really gifted, and almost all the students are young and beautiful girls. They are neither lazy like tanks nor like King Kong Barbie dolls, which is very pleasing to the eye.

Sumire became more and more excited as she spoke: "Teacher, do you understand? Imagine that all the muscles I have trained until now disappear... That would be hell, it would be painful, it is something that absolutely cannot happen!"

"Well, I guess I understand a little bit."

"Ah, ah! Sorry... I got too excited."

Sumire took a deep breath and calmed down a bit. "Anyway, I have to do this to prevent muscle loss."

I reminded him, "But the original intention of your exercise is to make your body healthier, right?"

"Of course, I know that. That's why I'm taking it so seriously..."

I raised my hand to interrupt, frowned, and asked sternly, "You've exercised to the point of severe dehydration and fainted three times in a row. Can you still call it healthy?"

"Ah, yes. You're right." Sumire sighed and apologized sincerely, "I'm sorry, teacher."

"It's okay, just pay attention next time."

"Ugh……"

Sumire sighed again and explained herself, "I am usually very disciplined when doing training. But as soon as I get anxious, I will make mistakes like this."

I feel that, unlike her appearance and temperament, Sumire's inner character seems a bit... should I say straightforward?

This trait itself is not a disadvantage, but in extreme cases, similar situations are likely to occur.

unless……

"It would be nice if someone could keep an eye on me."

Sumire seemed to be unintentional and said in embarrassment, "But there is no one around to ask for help. Teacher, what should I do?"

My eyes suddenly became sharp.

Is she hinting at something?

There's no doubt about it, Jin must be interested in me, but because of her girlish modesty, she's just waiting for me to take the initiative!

Fortunately, I have a keen eye and a clear understanding of myself, otherwise I would definitely not understand Jin's intention.

I smiled slightly, pointed at myself, and recommended myself cooperatively: "So what do you think of me?"

Sumire blinked: "...Huh? What does this mean?"

Haha, you’re pretty good at pretending to be surprised.

"Just let me help you."

"Teacher, are you going to help me? Really? Can you?"

Before I could answer, Sumire started to thank me, "Thank you, teacher! No, should I call you trainer now?"

Using a different and more intimate name is a good way to shorten the distance between you and me. I have already used this trick on Izuna.

I nodded: "Well, I allow you to call me that."

"Yes! Coach!"

Sumire excitedly corrected herself, and was happy for a while before she realized, "Ah, it's going to get cold if we don't eat it now."

So, having almost finished eating, I made an appointment with Jin to work out together when we had time, and I left the cafeteria first.

Chapter 37 Qualification Review

Game development department activity room.

It was almost evening, and I was still here, working remotely through the Shiting Box, while supervising the work and study of the girls in the game development department.

Of course, this is except for Alice, who has just enrolled and has not yet started formal classes, and who urgently needs a more mature language system than game development work.

“Goooo…I can’t write…!”

Tao Jing long-pressed the backspace key to delete all the text on the half-line. After looking at the screen that remained blank for a long time, she let out a mournful cry and fell to the floor in a large letter shape.

Then, he stood up, looked at Alice who was having a great time playing the game with envy, turned to me, and said in a long tone of expectation:

"Teacher, let me play with Alice for a while~"

Without even looking up, I gave a simple and clear verdict: "No deal."

"Why is that?" Tao Jing lay down again, rolling on the ground like a spoiled brat, "I'm a script writer! In order to create a better script, it is essential to draw inspiration from games. You can't just play with the source material!"

I sneered, "If you can't write, don't write. Go review your lessons with Little Green Pomelo and the others."

Tao Jing stopped rolling and cried, "Wuwu... the teacher is bullying me..."

"Sister, don't be willful."

Midori, who was reviewing seriously with Yuzu, couldn't help but say, "Just now, you were the one who said that you had to write down your inspiration immediately, and now you are the one who said that you can't write it down and have to play games to get inspiration. What will we do if we fail the exam if we continue like this?"

In the various college campuses in Kivotos, failing the exam means being forced to participate in tutoring organized by the student union and then take a make-up exam.

In other words, for the game development department that is now facing the crisis of being disbanded, if it does not invest time in reviewing, it risks wasting more time.

"I know..."

Tao Jing said in distress: "It's all Yuuka's fault. She suddenly said something like a resolution to improve the system had been passed and she was going to come over for a qualification review. That distracted me!"

"Why are you worrying about this? Alice is fine now."

Midori, who was usually responsible for pouring cold water on others, now seemed to have switched roles with her sister, who was responsible for boosting morale.

This shows how much of a blow Kaven was to Taoi, and how much the Geminis like to go against each other.

"Everything is ready now, right?"

I then said to Alice who was immersed in the game world: "Alice, introduce yourself."

Alice reluctantly put down the controller and paused the game: "Okay, my name is Alice Colorless, I was born a hero, and the weapon I use now is the Sword of Sun and Light. Under the guidance of the Golden Wood, I returned to my hometown after many years, in order to become the King of Ilden..."

"I'm not talking about the identity in the game!"

Now even I, who had been so confident just now, couldn't help but feel worried.

Alice nodded. "Ah, I understand. My name is Alice, and I'm a freshman at Millennium Science and Technology Academy. I just transferred here recently and missed the application period for the course, so I haven't completed the course registration yet, but I plan to officially attend the course starting next month.

“Although I can’t attend classes yet, I can participate in club activities, so I joined the game development club.”

After listening to Alice's fluent narration, I nodded with satisfaction: "Momoi, do you have anything else to say?"

But before Tao Jing could express her opinion, Alice immediately said: "The position in the game development department is tank and light attribute damage..."

Tao Jing quickly corrected him: "No, no! It's the programmer!"

"Yes, I'm a programmer!" Alice hurriedly changed her words, "Since I was born, I have been exposed to Jaba before my mother tongue..."

Tao Jing thought for a moment and said righteously: "Teacher, I think it is necessary to let me play again... and practice with Alice for a while!"

The real purpose is revealed, right?

I'm too lazy to say anything to Taoi, and actually there's no need to say anything.

Although Taoi is often unreliable, she is not to the point of being alone in giving up when her companions are working hard to deal with the crisis.

In order to maximize the use of time, the girls decided to balance game development and study, and after discussion, they staggered their working hours.

The game development department has decided that the type of game to be produced is RPG. For an RPG game, the most basic and important thing is naturally a good enough script.

After the general script is determined, Yuzu, as the planner, will design the appropriate gameplay, levels, and enemies, and Midori will be able to draw the standing pictures and materials that match the style.

However, no one forced Tao Jing to start writing now.

For creators, lack of inspiration is the norm. Tao Jing could just learn first. What if inspiration suddenly comes while learning?

His true mentality remains a mystery. Perhaps he is in a state of wanting to slack off and wanting to work hard.

All in all, there is no way Taoi can play games now.

"Don't worry, even if there are some insignificant problems, Yuuka will definitely show mercy."

“Is this really just a minor problem…?”

Tao Jing's worries are somewhat reasonable.

It just so happened that I had almost finished dealing with Xia Lai's official business, so I went in person to make the final confirmation with Alice before Yuka came.

Time flew by, and finally, the blue-haired girl pushed the door open.

"I kept you waiting."

Yuuka looked at Alice in front of her. "You must be the Alice in the rumors, the new student who transferred to Millennium yesterday and the fourth member of the game development department. Hmm... This is very suspicious. You have already chosen your favorite club on the second day of transferring?"

While Yuka was looking at Alice, Alice was also looking at Yuka, and her expression became more and more solemn.

Just when Yuuka was about to continue asking questions after waiting for a long time without any response, Alice suddenly took a half step back.

"Monster," Alice said vigilantly, "A monster has appeared...!"

I almost couldn't hold back my habitual smile.

Yuka's body trembled, and the light in her eyes disappeared: "Just now, this kid called me a monster, right?"

Tao Jing thought of a solution in a hurry: "You, you misunderstood! You must have heard the fairy wrongly, really, Alice would not speak carelessly~"

However, Hayase Yuuka is not someone who can be fooled so easily.

"Damn it... I'm used to being a bad guy, but I never thought I'd be mistaken for a monster by a kid I just met." Yuuka raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "You're really brave...!"

There was still an accident.

But the other party is Yuka after all...

It should be, still, okay, right?

Chapter 38 Yuka's Distress

Rather than looking down at the bustling city night scene from a high place, I prefer looking up at the sky of Kivotos.

The halo, which the locals had long regarded as commonplace, was still a wonder worth marveling at for me.

"Teacher, teacher, are you listening?"

I shifted my gaze from the glass window behind the girl to her delicate and beautiful face with her eyebrows furrowed:

"Of course I'm listening."

"…You were definitely distracted just now, weren't you!?"

"That's not the case." I closed my eyes and pretended to recall, and said confidently, "Weren't you talking about strawberry milk just now? I listened carefully to everything."

But as soon as I said this, I felt that the air around me suddenly became extremely heavy.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Yuuka's eyes were as cold and sharp as a sword: "Oh? Really? When did I mention this?"

...Alona! You plotted against me!

Didn't you say that when Yuka was nagging and I was distracted, you would help me record what she said and repeat it to me when needed! ?

You are talking nonsense, right? Now the dessert supply must be reduced by half!

In my heart, I denounced the unreliability of the super artificial intelligence and silently remembered this grudge. I quickly gave Yuuka an apologetic and implicit smile:
