Finally moving in response to my loud voice, Jin simply turned to me and gave me a thumbs up before returning his faithful gaze to the smartwatch before him.
Although he couldn''t see it, I also gave him a thumbs-up before prepping my hands.
Changing the form of corruption on Jin''s hands was just like drawing.
I positioned my right hand as I was holding a pencil, and my left hand was t as if it were a canvas waiting to be written on.
Raising the imaginary pencil in my right hand, I closed my eyes for a second before locking my gaze onto the canvas, or my t left hand, below me.
After a bit of hesitation to build up hype, Principal Seraphina flipped to another page of the book that she was holding before opening her mouth.
"What was the original name of the body of water that is currently surrounding the academy''s ind? Please note, I am asking for the original name... not the current name."
Raising my hand, I heard the sound of Jin''s fingers bashing against the screen of the smartwatch.
...is my smartwatch screen going to be fine after all this!? What if it gets cracked!?
Clearing my head of stupid thoughts, I immediately plunged my finger downwards towards my left hand as Jin spoke.
"HALF-MOON BAY!"
As the corruption in Han''s hand began to take shape, I rapidly drew out the letters "Half-Moon Bay" onto the palm of my left hand.
There was a bit of dy between my drawing and the corruption as the corruption moved slower than my hand.
Finishing my drawing of the letter, I flicked my head upwards and peered to the center of the stage, locking my gaze on Han.
In unison, Han silently raised the palm of his hand with the corruption, nced at it, and then immediately lowered it.
His hand was partially hidden from the lecture in front of him, so unless you were right in front of him, you wouldn''t have been able to see him subtly raising his hand.
Of course, my amazing eyesight bypassed that restriction.
Silently thanking my eyes, I watched with anticipation as Han mmed his hand down on the buzzer in front of him
*BOOM*
Hearing the buzzer, Principal Seraphina didn''t even bother to nce at the other students, who were silent and ashamed.
Sighing and looking at that book, Seraphina asked.
"First-year representative... for the game-winner point. What is your answer?"
Han, now having full trust in our answers as we had helped him over three times by now, confidently raised his hand.
"Half-Moon bay is my final and only answer."
Without even waiting to see if the answer was confirmed by Principal Seraphina, Han turned around to face the first-year bleachers.
Looking at his fellow ssmates, who were silent to him due to the gigantic bubble around all the bleachers, Han raised his hands.
At the same time, Seraphina mmed shut the book before announcing.
"That is correct...congrattions, first-years! For winning the trivia event, you have won ten points! First-years are now officially on the leaderboard!"
In unison, the bubble surrounding all the bleachers popped, allowing the screams and cheers of the first-year students to be set free.
Everyone on the bleachers stood up and raised their hands, imitating Han, while cheering louder than both the second and third-yearbined.
"EASY WIN!"
"WHO SAID WE''RE FUCKED!?"
"SORRY, SECOND-YEARS, CAN''T YOU HEAR YOU FROM ALL THE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM!"
"I JUST WON 10 GOLD FROM A BET...YOU SAVED ME, HAN!"
Han, paying no mind to the cheers, nonchntly walked straight back to the bleachers without uttering a single word.
As Han stepped foot onto the bleacher, the crowd of students at the front extended their hands in front of him.
Staring at the hands, Han walked up the stairs while high-fiving every single person as he passed.
Reaching thest row, Han put down his hand before silently sitting next to Jin and me.
Staring at Han''s emotionless face, I couldn''t help but blurt out.
"And, who the fuck do you think you are?"
Who the hell was this!?
Where was my smart and always concerned Han?
We already had the confident and cocky one in the group, Jin!
I don''t know if my mind can handle having two Jins in the same group...
Jin, breaking intoughter at my statement, also stared at the bold-faced Han with an expression of disbelief.
"What, Han? You got a bit of fame, and now you''ve decided to be Ren for a day?"
"...?"
Staring at Han after hearing Jin''s words, the thought suddenly entered my head.
...is this what I look like?
"...god damn, I am such an asshole."
Feeling a pat on my shoulder, I turned to face Jin, who grinned and replied.
"At least you''re self-aware!"
Han, no longer able to keep up the fake image of boldness, burst intoughter at Jin''s words.
Desperately trying to cover his mouth and keep his expression neutral, Han stuttered out.
"Ahhhh, just another day in the life."
In unison, both Jin and I questioned.
"...are you done now, Han?"
Leaning back, Han returned to his normal expression, with his eyebrows raised, and nodded his head.
As Principal Seraphina left the stage to prepare for the next event, Jin energetically said.
"Aren''t we forgetting something..? WE''RE GETTING A FREE PRIVATE CHEF FOR A WEEK! NO MORE OF THAT SHITTY AND COLD CAFETERIA FOOD!"
Nodding my head in approval of Jin''s sentiment, I looked at Han.
Then, in an unbelievable turn of events, Han looked confused.
With an emotionless tone, Han shrugged his shoulder and asked.
"Who''s ''we?'' "
"..."
"..."
Feeling the pressure of our two gazes, Han folded and returned to his original face beforeughing and muttering.
"haha... guys, I''m just kidding!"
Looking at the opposing bleachers, I saw the second-years were somewhat panicking while the third-years keenly observed the center of the multipurpose building.
Ah, did I forget to mention something?
The year with the lowest amount of points at the end of the assembly is forced to spend a week cleaning the school''s facilities.
