“It looks like it ended somehow… .”

Sejun sighed, rubbed his forehead with his hand a few times, and let out a quiet sigh.

The energetic voices of the two women could be heard up to here, but soon silence took over from the dean’s office.

Does that mean the end of the case?

It is night time and the date is about to change.

Although it was already time for most people to enter their dormitories and fall asleep, he was still sitting on a bench near the main building, where only the dim lighting was on.

If someone passes by, you might wonder if he’s in trouble, but the reason he doesn’t react much is probably because he’s not alone.

“… It was resolved well, right?”

“I don’t know. There was a light flashing on the rooftop. It’s definitely Jang Ah-hyun’s special ability.”

“… Umm. Ahyeon is the only one who can be seen on the last floor… .”

“What happened? Yue, can’t you read the leader’s mind with your gift?”

After hearing Sejun’s quiet voice, Yue shakes his head with a bitter expression.

Sejun probably already knows. They’ve been together countless times so far.

I just spoke out of urgency.

“I’m sorry. For that to happen, the distance from Ahyeon is too far and there are many obstacles between us.”

“… Yes, it was. And you will notice it soon. That would be extremely rude.”

Sejun sighs heavily again and rests his body against the back of the bench.

Unlike the front of the Academy’s main building, which is always crowded with people, the back does not usually have much traffic.

It’s not a route you have to take when you need to go somewhere in particular, and it’s not like a shortcut, so it may be that there’s no need to pass this way.

Besides, there would be far fewer people sitting on benches in such a dark place.

Yue notices the dust accumulated on the bench behind Sejun’s training clothes and reaches out his hand to brush it off, but hesitates for a moment.

After a while, she opens her mouth and begins to ask something.

The question she had always kept in her mind.

“… Mr. Sejun.”

“Huh?”

“Sejun. What would you like to see happen to Ahyeon? Would you like Ahyeon’s will to come true now?”

“Why are you asking that? Isn’t it obvious? Jang A-Hyun is the person who influenced me the most and is a precious person… .”

Sejun, who continued talking like that, could not finish his sentence.

The eyes of a hime cut girl staring at me. And because it was only now that I could understand what she meant.

“If the leader breaks down today, I’m sorry to Ahyeon, but it might be a good thing for Sejun.”

“… .”

Although it felt a little treacherous and a little guilty, Sejun had no choice but to quietly affirm what she said.

That’s right, if you were to pick the person who changed Sejun’s life the most, it would definitely be her.

Of course, this does not mean that other colleagues are not important.

However, if you were to pick a person who was a turning point in your life, the first person would probably be Dean Northmund, and the next person would undoubtedly be Jang A-hyun.

As expected, this is a guy who came to me, who was quite vague, showed me the way, and made me a valuable colleague.

Without her, it would have been impossible for Sejun, who had a very reserved personality, to be able to stand here in the first place and to have this little boy with this unique hairstyle by his side right now.

A clear-headed child who is always confident and responsible no matter where he stands or what situation he is in.

Sejun still couldn’t forget the confident girl he met at the entrance ceremony.

And Sejun doesn’t know what kind of situation that guy is currently in in the dean’s office.

It was making Sejun so uncomfortable.

“… Why is that a good thing for me?”

There is no answer. When she asked that question, she just lowered her head with a bitter expression.

In fact, Sejun already knows. But I can’t admit it right away.

For some reason, I felt like if I acknowledged it, the relationship up until now would somehow change, so I had been denying it until now.

but.

‘Probably since then… .’

From the day I went to hand her the handout I received from the dean.

I just thought I left a deep impression.

Was it not like that?

“No. Don’t pass things off arbitrarily. If he’s happy, I’m happy too.”

“… .”

inconvenient. Did this child read my mind?

Anyone who manipulates mana would be able to feel that her supernatural ability was being used, but she herself felt no such sign at all.

As he became accustomed to dealing with supernatural abilities, did he learn how to interfere with the minds of others without being detected by those with the same psychic abilities?

… Otherwise, how could this little boy know his own feelings beforehand?

Se-jun, who was looking at her with resentment, feeling enraged at the feeling that his inner thoughts had already been read, heard something in his ears.

“… Footsteps?”

The sound of someone’s footsteps coming down the stairs is heard from the main building.

As soon as he recognized that, Sejun’s eyes suddenly turned and he started looking in that direction.

There is only one person that comes to mind who might be in the main building, where all classes have long since ended.

Of course, it could have been the footsteps of a security guard patrolling the academy, but I had already met the security guard about 30 minutes ago.

There’s no way I wouldn’t remember because I saw Sejun and Yue sitting on a bench blankly and asked what they were doing there.

Yue said that Jang Ah-hyun is still in the dean’s office, so there is only one person left.

“Mr. Sejun?”

The moment he recognized it, Sejun left behind the voice calling him and ran toward the sound of those footsteps.

What caught the eye of Sejun, who opened the back door in a huff and entered the main hall on the first floor of the main building.

It looked like a person had just come down the stairs and was reaching the first floor.

‘what? The atmosphere.’

The person was a woman who seemed to have completely assimilated into the darkness, with long black hair, wearing a black cardigan, a formal-style black skirt, and long stockings of the same color.

If those eyes weren’t glowing red even in the dark, Sejun might not have noticed right away.

The person glanced at Sejun and Yue, who had run in late, with eyes similar to those of a blood-colored cat’s eye, and was about to pass by them and leave through the main entrance of the main building.

Sejun sees this and quickly stops her.

“Hey, wait a minute.”

“… What is it?”

Only then was Sejun able to look at her closely.

She spoke briefly as if something was bothering her, but for some reason she had a very bitter and complex expression on her face.

‘what? Wasn’t the situation in this woman’s favor?’

There is no use in worrying about the problem in front of the person concerned.

I have no choice but to ask directly.

“… What happened up there?”

“Nothing happened.”

As if she had seen something so worthless, she let out a completely uninterested, inorganic voice and started to walk back again.

Yes, this is the usual Yoon Sia.

The unusual phenomenon of her speaking first, which has been shown in recent weeks, is almost eccentric.

This is her as usual.

“I’m sorry, but can you tell me a little bit? I know it’s annoying, but… .”

“Don’t ask if you’re sorry. Because I can’t speak.”

“… Huh?”

“What? This is so cheap… .”

Due to her cold treatment, Sejun forgot what to say, and something quite strong, unlike his usual words, came out behind him.

As she is Japanese, there are usually no harsh swear words in the words she hears through the translation badge.

When harsh words that are rarely said go through a translation badge, they turn into cute sentences that don’t even sound like swear words.

The fact that it sounded strong enough to leave an impression on Sejun just like before meant that she had uttered a harsh curse.

However, the person who was swearing did not seem to think anything of it and just shook his head slowly and sighed, so as Sejun expected, it seemed like he had not suffered any damage at all.

“If you’re curious, ask her.”

“Who? Jang Ah-hyeon?”

“Yes, that stupid woman. You’re probably in a pretty good mood right now, so maybe you can answer.”

“This crazy woman keeps swearing at Ahyeon! hey! do you want to die Where did you learn the short haircut? .”

Leaving behind the little boy who was running around with his face turning red, Sejun slowly began to think over what she had said.

The strange woman with horns looked at them for a moment, then turned around and walked away from them.

” How dare such an insignificant woman… Evil!?”

“Hey, be quiet. I can’t think.”

“Ugh… Mr. Sejun.”

Sejun sighs and weakly hits the back of her growling head to silence her.

She gets angry, her face turns bright red, and she cutely lifts both fists to her chest with lightning-like force, trying to spew out a stereotype of anger that seems like something out of a cartoon. However, she gets hit by Sejun and touches the back of her head.

Having been rejected by Se-jun, she suddenly becomes a strange woman who goes out alone, glaring at Se-jun with tearful eyes as if she is dissatisfied.

What was the meaning of those tears, was it sadness or was it because it really hurt? I’m not sure, but in fact, Sejun’s Takbam made a great sound.

“Oh, I’m sorry for acting so suddenly, but I hope you’ll be a little quieter now.”

Sejun just meant to stop making noise that would disturb her thoughts, but for some reason, she seemed to have taken Sejun’s words strangely and frowned with a slightly resentful look on her face.

“… Hehe.”

“Uh, huh?”

I ended up crying.

Sejun’s face turns blank for a moment. No, I didn’t mean to.

However, in contrast to Sejun, who froze for a moment, she began to cry bitterly, rubbing the back of her head where she had been hit.

“Yu, I’m sorry Yu.”

“Huhhh.”

“No, I didn’t mean to do that… .”

“Wow… .”

Yue’s cries echo in the main hall of the large main building.

The sound of a woman’s cries echoing through the hall, which was built high to accommodate the huge stone statue that was almost five meters tall, which Sejun read as a statue of a dragon and which did not resemble the Dean at all.

Even though there is no one there, it must be a very difficult situation.

‘Did I hit you too hard?’

It wasn’t a Takbam loaded with his own strengthening abilities or a Takbam containing magical power. It was just a Takbam that was purely blown.

Of course, the blow inflicted by Sejun’s middle finger, a human weapon that has gone through arduous training, will cause damage that far exceeds that of an ordinary person.

‘No matter what, he’s a talented person.’

It probably wasn’t that big of a blow to her. Or maybe that’s not the point.

The important thing is that the current situation is very difficult.

After midnight, a woman cries in a dark academy building with the lights off. Doesn’t that in itself sound very dangerous?

If someone were to see the current situation, they might misunderstand that Sejun was trying to force her to do something harsh.

No matter how well it goes, it will leave behind a ghost story about a ghost crying every midnight at the Academy.

“Yu, let’s go to Yu first. I was wrong.”

Sejun wondered if security guards with clubs were rushing to deal with the academy’s crying ghosts.

They lifted Yue up and started running toward the back door they had entered through.

Apart from that.

Those questions are still flooding through Sejun’s mind.

It worked out well?

Sejun also knows about the relationship between the dean and the unpleasant woman with a foul personality who just passed by.

At first glance, you might wonder how one could have such an intimate relationship with such a strange woman, but

Surprisingly, from what Sejun saw at that time, she seemed quite normal.

On the contrary, it almost made them think that it was intentional on her part to treat them like this.

Maybe they just treat Jang Ah-hyun and themselves like that because they hate them as members of that group.

It seemed like they were communicating fairly normally with other people except themselves.

‘Yoon Shia and Jang A-hyeon must have talked today.’

Yun Sia, who was previously in love with the Dean. And the new entrant, Jang A-hyun.

Obviously, most of the stories would have come out. Otherwise, Jang A-hyeon wouldn’t have been so angry and even used her special abilities in the dean’s office.

It is in front of the dean that Yoon Sia was just as rude to them as she did to them. There is no way a leader cannot control that much.

It is said that a story that could clearly cause Jang A-hyun to explode has come out.

‘But Jang A-hyeon is in a good mood?’

What happened? Did Jang A-Hyeon win in the end? Yun Sia was defeated and stepped down from the Dean’s side, and her leader took her place?

Did they have a duel in the dean’s office?

When Sejun thought about such things, his heart became very frustrated.

And resentment toward the dean began to creep in.

‘I heard that the dean is too kind. Even so, he is his student. How can you mess with your disciples?’

Of course, the dean was a savior who opened a new path for Sejun, but he couldn’t help but feel resentful of him.

I didn’t say it, but I felt a little disdainful.

‘The moon is bright.’

Is this feeling of frustration just because of that?

If not… .

After leaving the main building and returning to the bench where they were originally sitting, Sejun put Yue down, who was still sniffling, and sighed heavily as he looked at the night sky.

The cold midnight air was tickling his cheek.
