‘I’ve already suggested it to her.’

She muttered quietly to herself.

Yes. Jang Ah-hyun had already contacted Yoon Sia first.

According to her research, her supernatural ability is one whose purpose is completely unknown. Expression of abnormalities similar to floating polycythemia.

Additionally, mana sensitivity is also extremely low.

Now, a month has passed since the special ability lectures began, and most people have already succeeded in feeling mana and controlling its flow.

About 30 people succeeded in creating the Danjeon called Mana Hall.

Although there were a few people whose achievements were delayed, it was safe to say that there were no people like her who had not even felt mana yet.

however… .

“Sorry, I’ll decline.”

“… .”

A small voice was heard from in front of Jang Ah-hyun, who was slowly walking along with Han Se-jun who had gone ahead.

“Why… ?”

As if I hadn’t expected it, I heard Han Se-jun’s voice mixed with doubt and a little confusion.

“No matter what, if you keep going like this… .”

“There is no need to pity. It’s actually more uncomfortable, so just turn off your attention.”

“Why on earth… .”

She looked at Han Sejun with an expressionless face, then slowly turned her head again and began to walk with a limp.

Ignoring Han Se-jun’s next words, he arbitrarily turns his back without even paying attention to the two women walking behind him.

Her gaze seemed to be looking at an inorganic object that was not worth worrying about, and Han Sejun could only stare blankly at her receding back.

Jang Ah-hyeon smiled as she saw Han Se-jun, who had his expectations betrayed and was nailed to the spot.

Nakajima, who was following behind her, could not hear the conversation between Han Se-jun and her, who had just opened the door of the gym and left, but he clearly understood one thing.

The current situation is as Jang A-hyeon expected.

“Am I right? That she won’t accept it.”

“… Why are you doing that? He cut me off with a single sword before I could even finish my sentence properly.”

“It’s obvious.”

With a small sigh, she continued.

“She herself is pushing the other person away. They don’t try to form human relationships or anything like that.”

“… .”

Han Sejun also responded to her words with silence. He, too, seemed to have already gotten to know her to some extent through conversation, and did not disagree with the negative evaluation given by the bold girl in front of him.

However, the reality of the conflict between the current situation and his feelings made him scratch the back of his head in frustration.

‘Yoon Si-ara.’

The reason I first approached her was simple curiosity.

This is because she, along with Han Se-jun in front of us right now, was one of the two people North Moons had given special admission.

So, because these two were not on the regular admission list, didn’t my father show respect to the secretary?

One of the two, Han Sejun, was a very talented person. Anyone can see that Han Se-jun’s basic physical specifications were superior in addition to his outstanding application ability.

He was timid and unambitious, so if he had been a little more open-minded, he might have been in Gideon’s position right now.

If that were the case, wouldn’t her hopes have been shaky from the beginning? It was highly likely that their positions with him were now reversed.

In the beginning, he flatly rejected my offer, so I thought he had some goal, so I watched him and left him alone, and he literally just enjoyed a peaceful school life without doing anything in particular.

‘Still, I’m glad.’

If he had tried to create a faction like her or done anything else, she would have done whatever it took to bring him down.

It was she who called security when Han Se-jun was sitting on a bench and immersed in joy after making his first Danjeon to see his response or reaction to an unexpected situation.

There, she raised Han Se-jun’s evaluation by one level.

Her obedient personality, where she just calms down and follows the situation rather than getting angry or actively trying to explain when an unexpected situation occurs, was also a plus for her.

His sense of justice was greater than expected, so there was a possibility of unexpected behavior, but it was controllable.

The leader always had to be himself. No matter how strong you are, you don’t need a hunting dog that climbs up and tries to bite your neck. All you have to do is give a command and the person you are commanding simply obey.

That was the element of her behavior that she felt while living as a member of Taesung Group.

‘But Yoon Shia.’

I do not know.

Rather than not knowing, my main impression was that I was disappointed. It’s clear that there’s something to it since Northmund brought it in himself, but so far, I can’t see it at all.

I heard that Northmund had something going on with her after the first day’s lecture on magic, and although he pretends to be indifferent on the outside, his eyes change a little when he looks at her from time to time, so it’s clear that the dean is more interested than expected. What is it? I don’t know if it’s because of this.

I wondered if it was a relationship between a man and a woman, but I was able to quickly deny it. Because it was definitely not the way to look at a lover.

Because she had seen a lot of people since she was young, she could tell.

Anyway, I’m sure she has something, so I offered her a faction offer to try out first.

If it was a really rough stone, it would be good, and even if it was just an ugly abandoned dog picked up with Northmund’s sympathy, it would be good to get points from the dean.

So when I gave her the offer.

─No need.

I just left that one word and went back on my way. Jang Ah-hyeon forgot what she was saying for a moment on the spot, and the Himecut girl who was following her also swallowed her words in a huff.

It wasn’t simply because the offer was rejected. This was because the energy I felt from her felt foreign and not human.

The eyes that looked at them for a moment, which could not have been more than a few seconds, were very foreign. It was like a swamp of unknown depth, filled with sticky tar.

They were gaunt but charming, and to be honest, they even felt a little scared as an inexplicable stickiness passed over them.

Nakajima seemed to have been scared of her since then. When Han Se-jun tried to suggest recruiting her, didn’t he ask her back with a slightly nervous look?

“It’s something that can’t be helped. It might be difficult to understand. As a result of our confirmation, we found out that she had been suffering from mental illness for two years.”

“Mental illness?”

“Yes. There is no record as he was not admitted to a psychiatric hospital, but looking at what he did at the GDO Seoul branch before entering Ellada, it is clear that he suffers from obsession and delusional disorder. Even the high school transcript didn’t say anything good about it.”

“… Is it like schizophrenia?”

“You can look at it that way. Since he never went to the hospital despite being sick, his current condition is likely to be very serious. So, it’s not someone we can contact right now.”

“But shouldn’t we take some action? If it continues to get worse… .”

“You don’t have to worry. First of all, like you, that person was brought in directly by the dean.”

Han Sejun closed his mouth at those words. If Northmund brought it himself, he must have something in mind.

Even though it may not be apparent on the outside, the dean is probably doing something about it.

Looking at the circumstances surrounding his Danjeon, he realized that he had not made it himself, but that Dean Northmund had helped him.

I was happy alone without knowing anything. Wow, I’m the best! I felt ashamed of myself for bouncing around on my dorm bed and craving assorted sushi and a highball in the shopping district, saying it was a gift to myself.

She’s probably the same too.

“So, you will come under my command?”

“… okay. But is there a reason to insist on a small number of elites?”

“… That’s probably the direction he wanted.”

“?”

For a moment, her expression became like she was looking into the distance. Han Sejun waited for her to open her mouth to know what that meant, but his expectations were not fulfilled.

When she heard Han Se-jun’s positive answer, she gave a small bow as if her business was over and turned around to return to the side of the gym.

Several students sitting on the side were looking this way with curious faces. Judging by the whispering, they are probably guessing what is going on with Yoon Sia and this group.

Jang A-hyeon quietly sat down and looked at the center of the gym, where a bloody battle called training was taking place.

Seeing the hesitation next to her, the girl from Hime Cut also seemed to be curious about Jang Ah-hyun’s intentions that Han Se-jun had asked about.

But she didn’t bother to open her mouth. Dear Dean, there is no need to share your secret with others.

‘A person who can confidently stand next to you.’

He said that he likes the strong. The environment in which he lived was a war against monsters, and even after Grandis was destroyed, he came over to this Earth and continues the fight.

What such a person needs most is not a bunch of thugs who show off as if the strength of their group is their own, but rather people who can have each other’s backs when they are really tired and having a hard time.

So there is no need for ambiguous people.

In order to be recognized by the world’s heroes, you just have to become that strong one.

And someday… .

‘Someday, when he is having a hard time and tired, I want to be a support that he can rely on.’

Golden waves overflowed from her hands.
