After leaving the office, time passed in a daze.

-“You must not become a representative of the goddess…or even meet her.”

Those words kept ringing in my head.

Because I was already a representative of the goddess.

The scene of my father vomiting blood in front of my eyes was a scene I never wanted to see again.

It’s a mystery as to who could do something like this.

There are very few people that my father, the Grand Wizard, would have reason to be nervous about.

It would be strange if you didn’t notice.

You showed it off a lot like that.

‘Goddess.. what on earth does she want..’

There are only two goddesses I know. There is only one goddess I met.

A goddess who tried to interfere with Eros and me.

Since they don’t let me tell them the reason, I can’t ask my father any more.

Because you’re going to vomit blood again like yesterday.

“Haa..”

“Ugh..? Why are you like that..”

The sun had long since set and Bea and I were lying in bed as usual.

Bea, who was about to fall asleep, woke up to the sound of my sigh and snuggled closer to embrace me.

I just looked at that slightly ticklish behavior.

“It’s nothing. I’m just nervous about the academy.”

“P.. What is that..”

I wanted to be honest.

I wanted to tell everything, but contrary to my feelings, I also didn’t want to talk.

I didn’t want to share the burden.

Rather, he gave less when asked, but did not want to give it away.

Even if Bea wants it.

“Don’t be too nervous… Vera will definitely succeed. I’ll guarantee it.”

“… Yes..”

As I listened to him speak in a voice full of confidence, I felt a little at ease.

I closed my eyes again and stroked Bea, who was resting on my arm.

“Good night, Bea..”

Bea had come to her senses.

Now he says he will protect it himself.

I’m sorry, but it’s my role to protect you.

It would be right for a man to be protected by a woman.

I will protect Bea.

“I love you..”

Even if it turns the world against you.

Even when dealing with God.

I will never back down.

-“Son.”

-“Yes father.”

-“Never be conspicuous in official settings. Not yet.. not yet.”

-“.. I understand.”

As I waited for the magic to lead to the academy, I remembered what my father said that morning.

He wanted to confirm once again that what I said yesterday was not enough to reassure him.

-Jjring..

The earrings that are hanging on my ears now were also given to me by my father at that time.

-“This earring makes it difficult to use mana.”

-“If the amount of mana is your level, it will be released even if you don’t want it, so it would be convenient to have this.”

After wearing the earrings, the amount of mana felt was greatly reduced.

About 30 to 40, which is about 20% of the original mana amount.

‘That would be quite excellent, though.’

Besides that, my father will do many things for me, such as spreading rumors after the academy’s entrance ceremony.

For example, there is a person who succeeded in the entrance exam by taking advantage of his high position.

If I don’t get good grades in the practical exam, the arrow will naturally be pointed at me.

Hiding your power may be a little frustrating, but you can tolerate it.

I’m not the type of person who likes to show off.

You can accept any number of insulting comments with a smile.

You can pay it back later.

But there’s one thing I’m worried about…

“Huh? What’s wrong Vera?”

“… No, nothing..”

Something about Bea.

What if bad rumors spread about me when my engagement and marriage are confirmed?

If such a rumor reaches Bea’s ears…

‘Can Bea leave other women alone?’

I was a little worried, but if I did well, it would be okay.

maybe..?

I held hands with Bea, who was snooping next to me, and waited for the last minute until 12 o’clock.

“.. Vera..”

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

With about 50 seconds left, Bea looked at me and started talking.

“Can I… be just greedy?”

“.. What is it..”

After checking who was around, he came near my ear and whispered.

“Vera.. I hope you only look at me..”

“…”

Bea spoke of romantic taboos.

Because it is illegal for a woman to monopolize a man.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t want a man.

“Hmm.. Can’t I just look at the princess..?”

“… It’s a foul…”

When I spoke while looking straight into Bea’s eyes as she whispered in my ear, her cheeks blushed and she lowered her head.

“.. Then at least I am the true wife.. Even if you are the princess, you cannot give it up.”

“Of course, Bea.”

My ear was a little itchy from Bea’s whispering a little while ago, so I moved closer to Bea’s ear to get revenge.

“I love you.”

“..!”

I also slapped my face after he whispered in my ear.

-Ji-ing!

“Hello, Veritas von Beatirus. Amorae von Berador. My name is Lin, the principal of Agrippina Academy.”

“Nice to meet you, Principal Lin.”

“…. Hello, Principal Lin.”

A woman who was too young to be called the principal appeared and looked at us with a smile.

Bea was blushing as if she had a breakdown, but belatedly found the principal and said hello.

“Then let’s move right away.”

“Okay.”

“Yes.”

I followed the principal through the portal.

The surrounding scenery has completely changed.

The outdoors became indoors, and many people were seen around.

And almost everyone looked at me,

There is one reason.

“He’s a man.”

“It’s a man.”

“.. man?”

I think it’s true that I’m the only man.

Because there are no men around.

I guess life at the academy will be harder than I thought.

Because you are already sending me sticky looks.

“Ugh! These…”

When Bea, who was right next to me, glared at me, it decreased a little, but that was only a small amount.

As I said once again, trying to monopolize a man is a taboo.

Bea doesn’t care.

The only thing that matters to them is my doctor.

But I also have similar thoughts as Bea.

I have no intention of dating just any woman.

I already have Bea and the princess.

That alone would fill my bowl and overflow.

I have no intention of increasing it further.

***

Bea had to take a swordsmanship test, so she went somewhere else with me.

It was heartbreaking to see his crying eyes, as if he didn’t want to leave even for a moment, but he couldn’t help it.

The reason is that the exam times overlap exactly.

Bea went to another exam room with a swordsmanship professor who introduced himself as Lauren.

The principal continued to guide me.

However, no matter how you look at it, the principal passes by even though this is where the magic test is taken.

After walking a little further, Lin stopped only when she reached an empty exam room.

“Can I call you Berador..?”

“Yes, principal.”

“I received a call from Geoff in advance.”

“… Yes? What is that…”

“Please make sure to give me the last rank in the practical exam.”

“..!”

The principal looked at me with a wry smile as I froze in shock.

“So, will you show me your power with the mana you have ‘right now’?”

“… Are you talking now?”

“Yes. With the mana you have ‘right now’. I will keep everything a secret from others.”

‘If you keep it a secret from others, is it possible to keep it a secret from God?’

Even though the person I was dealing with was a new person, I thought it would only be known to that extent, but the principal nodded without saying a word as if it didn’t matter.

“Don’t worry. With that much mana, not everyone will know.”

“.. I understand.”

When I say it with that much certainty, I guess there is something there.

“The scarecrow in front of me has a resistance spell. So, let out as much as you want.”

“.. Let’s begin.”

A scarecrow located approximately 20 meters away.

It is said to have a resistance spell, but it looks very shabby.

But there must be a reason why I’m asking you to show me all my power…

-Just right!

-Good luck! Grumble!

I started using intermediate fire magic.

Two fireballs hover around me.

“Hoo.. at that age..”

I tried to ignore the sound of exclamation from the principal next to me and pushed Mana in.

-Roaring! Grumble!

The two fireballs, as swollen as my father’s flame, merged into one.

“Ugh!..”

“… Huh..”

I prayed inwardly, feeling the little mana left in my body.

‘please..!’

By the time I used up all my mana.

-Whaaah!

The two fireballs combined and a fireball was created that would become the scarecrow’s stomach in front of me.

‘It’s a success..! last!’

I used the remaining mana as little as a speck of dust and flew it towards the scarecrow.

I shouted unconsciously as I looked at the flying fireball.

“Fire Ball!”

-Quaaa!

-Kugugu…

As soon as it came into contact with the scarecrow, a huge roar rang out and the testing room shook.

and.

[Tiring. A unique spell has been created. name ‘Fireball.’]

I sat down and read the words that appeared before my eyes.

‘.. Unique magic?’

I wanted to pop up the status window right away, but now I’m not alone.

“.. Oh my god..”

The principal next to him was looking at the scene in disbelief.

“.. I didn’t know that he would destroy the scarecrow.. Is he really Geoff’s son?.. No.. If we take it to his current state.. He’s even better than Geoff..”

Anyway, even though I knew my father, speaking informally to him was a little awkward.

“After Geoff, I had no intention of making disciples… but seeing this makes me change my mind…”

“.. eh?”

“Ah. I didn’t tell you.”

Afterwards, the identity of the principal, who appeared to be 20 years old at most, was revealed.

“I was the one who taught your father magic.”

“…?”

“Let me introduce it again. I am the principal of Agrippina Academy.”

-Pong!

Something popped out from the side of the principal’s head.

“I am Rin, the princess of the kingdom of Britannia, the kingdom of elves. Please take care of me in the future.”

I passed the practical test that day with last place.
