Chapter Index

    The moon is bright in the sky.

    It’s a cliché story. Whenever someone suffers a broken heart, it rains that day, and for some reason the moon is bright when my heart feels heavy.

    And it must be ironic that Sejun’s doubts were quickly answered by the bright moonlight.

    “Ah… .”

    Why did Yoon Sia say such a thing?

    What did he mean by saying that Jang A-hyeon would be in a good mood?

    Because it was all in Sejun’s eyes.

    “… .”

    When Sejun went into the principal’s office to consult with the dean, he saw the layout of the principal’s office.

    Northmund’s office was located near the window, so if an incident related to that occurred, there was a high probability that it would be seen from the window.

    It’s as they say.

    Jang Ah-hyun was visible from the window where Se-jun was looking.

    “Ahyeon… Sir?”

    Yue, who had stopped crying, looked up, saw the scene, and let out a questioning voice.

    And strangely enough.

    She looked quite cheerful, so Sejun felt his heart grow even more bitter when he saw her.

    “I guess that’s what she said.”

    “It’s a bit strange.”

    As he listened to the Himecut kid’s voice emphasizing once again, Sejun felt a strange feeling surround his body.

    About the topic we had been fighting about just a moment ago.

    Even though he knew that the dean was reaching out to this woman and that woman, his own leader reacted like that?

    It took Sejun a long time to understand what that meant.

    ‘… So, does this mean that Jang A-hyeon eventually won the dean position?’

    And the moment I understood it,

    A strong sense of loss begins to gather in Sejun’s heart.

    He thought he had just thought of it in his head, but it must have flowed out of his mouth before he knew it. Yue’s troubled face turned dark as he slowly shook his head upon hearing those words.

    “It hurts… .”

    Tongue.

    He seemed to be unable to calm down the emotions that kept rising, so he hit the top of the bench with his fist without even realizing it.

    It’s not even a heartbreak. They have never revealed it to each other. Sejun just had subtle feelings.

    But why is this like this? It was so frustrating that I just wanted to scream.

    “… Huh?”

    Feeling a small foreign body in the hem of his clothes, Sejun slowly turned his head and looked back.

    In fact, there was only one person who would do such a thing.

    “Why.”

    “Mr. Sejun. Let’s go back. Let’s not stay here.”

    She was pulling the hem of his clothes with weak force, and it seemed like she was trying to calm herself somehow, so Sejun could only acknowledge her actions with a glance without saying a word.

    So, if I stay here, I will get caught by Jang A-hyeon and show my ugly side.

    Since she also has the ability to sense mana, she may have already discovered their existence.

    ” Let’s go. I will comfort Sejun who was heartbroken. Ahem.”

    “… What kind of heartbreak is this? We’ve never dated.”

    It was so boy-like that he suddenly felt like he was trying to act like an adult when he was crying just a moment ago, so Sejun burst into laughter for a moment.

    Seeing that smile, she also smiled and continued speaking.

    “You may not have known it, but you already know this. If you don’t notice that, wouldn’t you be a fool?”

    Was it obvious like that?

    Sejun looked back on his actions so far, but it was a question he couldn’t understand.

    I wasn’t even aware of it, so how can I know by looking back?

    I can only assume that’s the way it is when people around me say it.

    “Since I was a high school student, I’ve given a lot of advice to friends around me, right? So leave it to me for today. Yes, having a drink. Oh, now that I think about it, it’s already too late… .”

    Seeing the guy starting to say something to himself, Sejun just shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

    I’m the only one who gets serious and thinks that at this time, there are only street food stalls and izakayas. When I saw her saying the same thing to herself and considering which bars were open at this time, I couldn’t help but laugh.

    ‘I feel energized.’

    Is this what a friend is like? I feel like that.

    It fills my heart with the thought that it is truly a blessing to have a friend who can comfort me when I am having a hard time.

    It’s a feeling that feels even more profound to Sejun, who didn’t have many friends as the head of the family rather than a boy from a young age.

    Sejun, who was thinking about this, looks up again.

    The leader reflected in the window may seem a bit fussy, but I must say he looks quite happy.

    In that case, as her friend, I have no choice but to wish her happiness.

    ‘That’s good. I hope you will be happy in the future.’

    While thinking that, Sejun felt the hand of the little boy pulling him tightly, and pretended not to be able to resist it and trudged forward.

    *

    “… Something like that happened.”

    “Yes, so I thought it was best to do the same.”

    It was already well past midnight. Good children have already gone to dreamland a long time ago.

    On the last floor of the academy, in this inefficiently large room, strange stories were still being heard.

    Since Sia left with such a big bomb, things got quite complicated.

    After she left after making a revelation that wasn’t a revelation, I tried to calm Jang A-hyeon down and send her back, but… .

    Rather, she had no intention of going back and instead stayed by my side and kept asking me about various things.

    Because Sia herself claimed to be a villain, all her conversations ended up cursing her.

    I had no choice but to bring up various things first to change the subject as much as possible.

    Since I am not very good at speaking, I thought I would soon run out of stories.

    Since coming to this world, I’ve had enough adventures to get tired of it, so the size of my bag hasn’t decreased much, so when I come to my senses, it’s already this time.

    “That’s right. I was shocked when I heard about the devils’ purpose.”

    “Yes. They are scum who want to do as they please with humanity. There is no reason to tolerate it.”

    “Hehe, you are a professor after all. Are you trustworthy?”

    Talking with her was a lot more enjoyable than I thought.

    As Taeseong’s successor, she knows how to deal with people, so she kept the conversation going by adjusting the tempo of my conversation, which did not have much eloquence.

    In addition, since she was also part of the devils’ plan, she knew a lot and did not need any further explanation, which may have also played a role.

    I looked at the time and saw that it was already past one in the morning.

    I lost all sense of time amidst the pleasant conversation, but it was still too late.

    So, as I was looking at her, thinking about leaving, she suddenly spoke to me first, as if reading my thoughts.

    “Professor. Is there any way to break the oath made to you, Professor?”

    “… Didn’t I say that earlier? I will find a way later.”

    “Seeing as you weren’t in much of a hurry, I guess it wasn’t a very broad oath?”

    Then she slowly got up from the chair, took my left hand, and slowly clasped it.

    “Even when I hugged the professor earlier, the magical restraint did not activate. If that woman’s personality was true, it wouldn’t be surprising if she put really unreasonable restraints on the professor.”

    “Um… .”

    She suddenly smiles in satisfaction and starts nibbling at my hand.

    She is quicker than you think. He may have already anticipated the outcome to some extent based on my awkward reaction.

    Have I lost a lot of acting skills?

    Where does Northmund, who confidently performed a heart-pumping performance in front of the world, go, and is only Yongin, an idiot who is left embarrassed after being grabbed by the hand like this?

    “And Professor… I also feel like I have become a little more sensitive to mana after learning the professor’s exercises.”

    “I guess so. Luminescence is a good mana practice.”

    “When I put my hand on the professor’s chest earlier, I sent mana to explore the inside of the chest… .”

    “Huh?”

    Jang Ah-hyeon smiles at her birthday party.

    She shows the look a mother would make to a child who has been caught telling a bad lie, as if she knows everything.

    I looked at her with surprised eyes.

    “… There was no trace of mana around the heart. Oh, of course, I’m ignorant of magic, so I don’t know if it’s done with dry magic. Still, something seems suspicious? Right?”

    I slowly place my hand on my chest again.

    ‘I was already caught from the beginning.’

    I just smiled broadly.

    I turned the table upside down. Sia’s efforts were worthless and I ruined everything with my acting. I never thought I would get caught right away like this.

    ‘But maybe this is a good thing.’

    How long will you be acting? There is no need for Sia to claim to be a villain and receive all the hate.

    So, just revealing everything.

    “Yes, you are correct. in fact… .”

    “No, you did really well.”

    What about her sudden support? When I look up at her with that expression on my face, she tells me her opinion as is.

    “You said she made an oath, but the professor actually prevented it, right? You did a great job.”

    “Huh?”

    “That kid didn’t receive the professor’s training techniques, and his raw mana sensitivity was low, so he took advantage of what he couldn’t feel. I’m glad you took the oath… I don’t even want to think about it.”

    Hehe, she looks at me again with a proud expression, as if she is seeing something proud.

    I briefly scratched my head.

    mistaken. It’s an illusion, though. Is it an illusion on the part of the good side?

    The story is that I did whatever it took to break free from her attempts to bind me, and that Sia still thinks I am bound.

    After hearing it, it might be reasonable to think that way.

    Siya’s acting as a villain was so serious that it took my breath away, so if someone who didn’t know me saw it, it would have been no different from the actions of a villainess trying to catch a bully and do as she pleased.

    When you saw Sia’s acting, you didn’t think it was a lie?

    “Then, is something like this possible? It may be a little rude, but somehow I think the professor will understand today.”

    “Oh, Jang A-hyeon.”

    And then she hugs me tightly.

    “Hehe.”

    I just sat there awkwardly, not even thinking about pushing it away. As she hugged me, I felt the firmness of her body and cleared my throat.

    The volume is almost non-existent compared to Sia, but no, this is a foul on Sia; rather, this level is normal.

    Nevertheless, thanks to the really strong muscles and the luminescence practice, you can feel the refreshing feeling of mana flowing through your veins at all times.

    She has a different charm from Yoon Shia.

    “I will also act for that girl. If that kid finds out, I don’t know what kind of harm he might try to do to the professor.”

    “… I hope you treat Sia well too. There were a lot of things that happened, but I still felt some affection.”

    “Do you keep talking about other people like that in front of your fiancé?”

    “No, that’s… .”

    Without realizing it, I raised my hand and wrapped it around Mi.

    I think this misunderstanding needs to be resolved gradually.

    Perhaps Sia acted like this because she had a way to resolve this awkwardness in the future.

    The dawn of the academy passed with a mixture of embarrassment and other strange emotions.
