Saved a Heroine From the Brink of Death

91. Predict the outcome

#91. Predict the outcome

There was only one reason why I bet on Joo Se-rin.

‘If Joo Se-rin wins, the odds are 2.14 times higher. I can’t stand the reverse odds!’

Reverse.

It refers to betting on the side with a higher chance of losing.

And the dividends are correspondingly high.

People who usually do reverse betting see these high odds and bet their money. I am no exception.

‘Honestly, I think the current Joo Se-rin and Ha Seon-ah are similar… So it’s right to go with the one with the higher odds.’

Since both of them seem to have similar skills, I decided to go with the one with the higher odds.

Then why is it predicted that Ha Seon-ah, who is not from a prestigious family, has a higher chance of winning?

‘Ha Seon-ah has a crazy trait. Because of that, she doesn’t lose even to Joo Se-rin, who comes from a prestigious family.’

Trait, “Eclectic Aura”

It is a trait that grants a special effect to the user’s magic power, and its effect is famous enough to be widely known.

It is a debuff ability that lowers the ‘ability’ of the target that comes into contact with it and prevents them from using their ‘trait’.

In other words, it was said that it was a trait that showed crazy fraudulence in interpersonal battles.

This was the reason why Ha Seon-ah’s odds of winning were predicted to be higher, despite not being from one of the Seven Great Families.

If you’re fighting monsters within the gate, then that’s fine, but if it’s a one-on-one fight, there’s no reason for Hasun Ah to be pushed back.

Even if you are a master of the Jeokryungju family, it is difficult if you cannot express your characteristics.

‘Even if you’re Joo Se-rin, it’ll be hard if you don’t have a special trait. Yes, but the kids from the Seven Great Families not only have good traits, but they also have good physical abilities. You have to take that into account.’

If it had been dismissed simply because it had no characteristics, the dividend would have been 3.14 times, not 2.14 times.

Anyway, even though many people predicted Ha Seon-ah’s victory, the fact that the odds were almost even means that there were quite a few people who predicted Joo Se-rin’s chances of winning.

And the basis for this was the ‘physical abilities of the Seven Great Families.’

Because they are strong even without special traits.

‘Juselin… win!’

That’s how I know Joo Se-rin’s physical ability.

He also believed in her physical strength, which was enhanced through the red consciousness.

After that, I lost Mecha Kucha.

The battle went on for 15 minutes, and I could see ominous numbers written on my phone.

( – ) 100,000,000,000 won

What? Why are the numbers blue? Hahaha.

Am I mistaken?

‘Fuck… It can’t be a mistake.’

Although a hundred million won doesn’t take up much of my account, I still feel bad about throwing money away.

Because I lost that too in a very short period of time.

I didn’t even lose money on the coin by leveraging it, I just felt miserable.

‘I didn’t think Ha Seon-ah would beat Joo Se-rin… She’s stronger than I thought. No, is Joo Se-rin weaker than I thought?’

Joo Se-rin was beaten like a dog by Ha Seon-ah.

He was swinging his main weapon, a spear, like a club, and it was pitiful to see Joo Se-rin look so pitiful.

When looking at the abilities, Joo Se-rin seemed to be ahead, but I thought it was just a difference in innate skills.

“By the way, Sia’s match will start soon. Let’s watch it….”

Originally, there should have been about an hour left, but since the other matches ended early, Cynthia’s match schedule was also brought forward a little.

I decided to give up my obsession with a trillion won and watch Cynthia’s match.

Why?

Because we can earn more money through Cynthia and Lee Soo-hyuk’s match!

As the saying goes, lost money can be recovered by earning it again.

“Okay. Let’s pay it back. We can make up for the trillions we lost, right? Hahaha!”

“Lee Soo-hyuk vs. Cynthia”

[ Betting : 300,000,000,000 won ]

[ Target: Cynthia ]

[ Magnification: 1.62x ]

The odds are low, but if they’re low, wouldn’t it just be enough to throw in more money?

I bet three hundred billion won and then calmly waited for the match to start.

Okay! Let’s go!

-Are you nervous?

Illien, who was projected in a spirit form, asked Cynthia.

She was circling around Cynthia and kept talking to her.

‘A little nervous… don’t worry.’

-Why? Objectively speaking, aren’t you stronger than Sia?

‘That’s true, but… Lee Soo-hyuk was someone I couldn’t even look at until recently. He was always the top student since his first year at the academy. Is there something… overwhelming about it?’

-When did you say you would trample me to pieces?

‘That’s true, but… anyway, it’s okay to be nervous!’

Lee Soo-hyuk is a fucking b*tch.

Inseong is a vicious guy who has fallen to the ground and even dug himself underground.

But the skills he had were real.

‘And… it’s not like I’m just stronger.’

-Really? When I saw it, it wasn’t anything special.

‘I thought so a few weeks ago, but… when I took the first practical test, it wasn’t like that.’

Cynthia felt uncomfortable with Lee Soo-hyuk.

Sure, a few weeks ago I was confident I would win no matter what fight I had, but not now.

The sense of discomfort I felt during the first practical test. If that was real, I thought I would lose without being able to do anything.

‘The scale-shaped magical power surrounding Lee Soo-hyuk… That’s the problem. It didn’t seem like it would work even if I attacked it. I have no idea what it is. It doesn’t seem like that’s all the power it has.’

Cynthia tilted her head as she recalled the scale-shaped magic armor surrounding Lee Soo-hyuk during the first practical training. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t come up with an answer. She had never heard or seen that kind of magic usage.

In the end, there was no choice but to find out by bumping into things.

[ Lee Soo-hyuk (1st) vs. Cynthia (7th) ]

7th place in the overall ranking of the 2nd grade.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at this location.

And through this final exam, I will be able to take another leap forward.

1st semester of 2nd year.

The last one will finish in first place.

And not just any ordinary first place, but an overwhelming first place.

-[Tiring] Cadet Cynthia, please come in.

‘What! It’ll work out somehow! It won’t change the fact that we have to win anyway!’

An alarm went off on my watch, telling me to get ready for the match.

Cynthia entered the examination room determined to beat Lee Soo-hyuk.

***

Just before Cynthia entered the examination room, other big players besides Han Seong-jin also placed large bets on the match between Lee Soo-hyuk and Cynthia.

And among those big shots, there were also figures belonging to the Seven Great Aristocrats.

From noble mtl dot com

He was not just some random person in some position, but a big shot who held the position of the head of the household.

The man’s name is Yun Hyuk-kwon.

He was the man who held the position of head of the Ilwol Yoon family.

The amount he put up for this match was 500 billion won.

It was all of the slush funds he owned.

“Wow~ 500 billion won? That’s amazing. In US dollars… isn’t it 500 million dollars? The Yoon family has a lot of money~”

Grace clapped her hands as she looked at Yoon Hyuk Kwon.

Yoon Hyuk Kwon was in a bad mood when he saw Grace’s face, which was covered in a mocking expression for some reason.

Yoon Hyuk-kwon tried to ignore Grace’s words and looked at the betting window.

‘Whew. You’re a little nervous. Who would’ve thought I’d get nervous over a mere 500 billion won… If it weren’t for that b*stard Han Seong-jin, I wouldn’t have gambled like this, and I wouldn’t have cared about this little amount of money… Tsk.’

Although Yoon Hyuk-kwon originally did not like this type of gambling, the reason he bet this time was simple.

Because funds are drying up within the family.

Because of Han Seong-jin’s actions, expenses were increasing like crazy, but the income was not much.

Although the support of the viewers gave me some breathing room, the more money I have, the better.

So, Yoon Hyuk-kwon tried to make some money through this opportunity, a legal route, by predicting the outcome of the Academy match.

So he emptied all the slush funds he had.

At first, I was going to use only about half of it, but I changed my mind after seeing Lee Soo-hyuk. ‘I never thought Lee Soo-hyuk would awaken the body of [Half-Dragon Man]… Now that it has come to this, I will bet all of the slush funds on Lee Soo-hyuk.’

As expected of a family head, Yoon Hyuk-kwon possessed many unique abilities. And among them, he also found out that Lee Soo-hyuk had become a half-dragon through his ability to see the flow of the sun and moon. I don’t know how he got it, but the important thing now was that Lee Soo-hyuk, who had obtained the body of a half-dragon, would win.

No matter how hard Cynthia catches the high-level doll, this fact doesn’t change.

Infinite magical power and precise magical power control to handle it. And the Yongrin Armor (龍鱗甲) that unfolds based on it.

It’s like having a shield that can practically block everything.

Yoon Hyuk-kwon wanted to recruit Lee Su-hyeok into the family right away, but he thought it was important to see the end of this match first and hoped the match would start as soon as possible.

‘Money can be copied.’

Yoon Hyuk-kwon was already imagining what would happen after the match ended.

The thought of having over 500 billion won deposited into my account in less than an hour brought a smile to my face.
