Episode 205. Academy (3)

“This definitely needs a different approach.”

“Yeah. I’m considering that too.”

Professor Im Sol and I had a conversation about magic circles while drinking coffee. We had to explain the concept we discovered so others could understand it, but that process wasn’t easy.

“How about explaining it according to the flow of mana? Mana concentrates in the core circuit, even if just a little.”

“Ordinary people can’t feel that.”

“Is that so?”

“Yeah. Only geniuses can feel that.”

“Like you, Professor?”

“You’re the same way. Heh heh.”

Indeed, I feel like Professor Im Sol and I connect well when we talk about magic. It’s similar to why the classes I take at the Academy are boring. From my perspective, they’re explaining content I could understand in 5 minutes for the whole hour, so I can’t help but feel frustrated. I also find it comfortable to talk with Professor Im Sol. Because both of us are geniuses. Of course, I use a bit of a shortcut, but even theft isn’t a crime if you don’t get caught. Fortunately, Im Sol also seemed to enjoy talking with me. Her expression was really good.

“Or else, should I just tell them to memorize it?”

“That is convenient, indeed. If you just write ‘irregular,’ it’s an invincible shield, isn’t it?”

Actually, we’re the strange ones for trying to find the rules of irregular magic circles. If I were an ordinary mage, I would have let it slide, but because it’s Im Sol, she proceeds perfectly with everything.

‘This is why the research never ends.’

If all magic circles are handled like this, progress can’t help but stall.

“Next time, take a look at this too.”

Im Sol presented one magic circle. The magic circle held in her hand was an explosion.

“This is an explosion, isn’t it?”

“Yeah. It’s an explosion spell, but the core circuit is in a different place.”

“Ah… I see. But I think this one is an explosion generated by pure pressure.”

“Huh? Is that so?”

“Yes. So this one…”

We talked about magic and the thesis, without paying attention to the coffee cooling down. About an hour passed, and finally, she solved all the magic circles Im Sol was looking at. Im Sol crossed her legs, a pleasant smile appearing.

“It’s much faster because you’re here. Come by often.”

“I come by a lot, don’t I? Isn’t that a bit harsh to someone who was just discharged today?”

“Sorry.”

Even while saying sorry, Professor Im Sol’s lips held a smile. It was the smile that appeared when she was truly doing something she loved.

“Professor. Do you know something?”

“What thing?”

Im Sol, who was rustling through the interpreted magic circles and organizing them neatly, slightly raised the corners of her eyes at my words.

“Professor, your expression changes whenever you talk about magic. You seem truly passionate about it.”

“Hmm… That’s right. Liking magic isn’t something to be ashamed of, is it?”

“I said it as a compliment too. You have pride in it, don’t you?”

“That’s right. And it’s like that because I talk with you.”

“With me?”

“Yeah. You’re the only one I can talk to about magic for over an hour.”

“Really?”

“Why do you think I use the 2nd floor alone? Because I can’t talk with other professors at all, they gave it to me so I could research comfortably alone.”

Im Sol organized her desk with a bitter expression.

“Well…”

Of the total 17 floors in the magic tower, the entire 2nd floor is Im Sol’s laboratory. Considering that there are an average of 3-4 professors per floor on other floors, it can be seen as an enormous privilege. To that extent, she is recognized regarding magic, but it also implies loneliness. It means there are no mages who match her level.

“I’ll say it again… I think meeting you is truly fortunate. Thanks to you, I was able to write this high-level thesis.”

Flutter flutter-

The thesis we wrote fluttered limply in Im Sol’s hand. The internal content is all finished, so now only organizing is left.

“I’m glad I met you too, Professor. I’ve received a lot of help, haven’t I?”

Just having someone I know at the Academy is a big help. She has connections I don’t have, and I’ve received a lot of help when receiving rewards or when public opinion is swayed.

“Why are you bringing this up out of the blue… Ah, right. I’ve scheduled the date for the magic expo.”

Im Sol offered a ticket she took out of her pocket.

“It’s next week?”

The expo is scheduled for all weekdays next week. I can choose one of these days and go with Professor Im Sol.

“Yeah. It’s the earliest one.”

“Understood. I’ll definitely keep this day free.”

We decided to go during the midterm perfect score bet, but we’re only deciding the date now. I checked the time on my smartwatch.

7:30 PM.

I had planned to meet Alice at home, but seeing them at the student council and Professor Im Sol, it seems the time has gotten a bit late.

Glug glug-

I downed the remaining instant coffee in the cup in one go and slowly started getting ready to leave.

“I’ll get going now. I have plans.”

“Perhaps is it Ahyoung?”

Im Sol glanced at me while organizing her desk and asked.

“No. Just a friend from the same class.”

“Aha… That’s a relief. Have fun.”

“But why are you asking that?”

“It’s nothing. Ah, but is that friend a girl?”

She’s asking a lot of questions today. Hmm, there’s no need to lie about this kind of thing. Lately, because I’ve been telling too many lies, I feel like I’m becoming a bad guy.

“Yes. She’s a girl.”

“…Come to think of it, since you helped a lot today, I should give you a reward.”

“Huh?”

“You helped me with research, didn’t you? We have to do it today too.”

Before I knew it, Im Sol got up from the sofa and walked towards me. Then she made fists with her hands and shook them up and down. It was an extremely lewd hand gesture.

“Uh… I’m fine with it, but wasn’t the mood not right for it today?”

Somehow the mood was good, we talked, and my favorability seemed to have increased, so I was feeling good about it.

“No. I need to replenish my sugar.”

…Her expression is a bit scary.

‘What’s wrong with this person all of a sudden.’

★ Heroine Status Screen

[Im Sol]

• [ Favorability: 69 ]

• [ Lust: 65 ]

• [ Appetite: 35 ]

• [ Fatigue: 45 ]

Current State: Should I do it once, no, twice…? That would drain some energy.

As expected, favorability has increased. What do they intend to do by draining my energy…? Could it be a deterrent?

Swoosh- Slide-

While I was checking the status screen, Im Sol had already started pulling down my pants.

“Professor. Wait a moment. Uh, well… Okay.”

No, why are her eyes so scary…? Im Sol looking into my eyes was a little scary, so I quietly pulled my pants down. To make it easier to take my dick into her mouth, Im Sol knelt down under the sofa. Im Sol placed her hand on my thigh, touched the groin area, and put my erect dick into her mouth.

“Haaap. Slurp. Sluuuurp. Chuuup.”

I could feel the moist inner flesh of her mouth covering my dick. It was a pleasant sensation.

“Professor. Today especially… Ah, your teeth are touching, it hurts.”

“Nngh. Nngh nngh! Chomp.”

“…Yes. I’ll be quiet.”

Today, Im Sol’s fellatio… somehow seemed more passionate than usual.

Alice’s mansion.

Inside the room, Alice checked the time while fixing her hair and looking in the mirror.

7:00 PM.

“…Why isn’t he coming?”

Academy classes should have ended long ago. When I overheard him talking with Lucy and Lumi, he clearly said he was going to the student council and Professor Im Sol.

‘I’ll just say hello and come back, how long is he staying?’

Alice stomped her feet anxiously, waiting for Lee Hoyeon.

Knock knock-

“Yes, come in.”

At Alice’s words, the door opened and Sebastian entered the room.

“Young Lady. The preparations are finished. …But are you really okay?”

“I told you I’m fine. Surely I wouldn’t get scammed? I’ve already confirmed the effects.”

It’s about the mana massage. Sebastian had been worried when he heard Lee Hoyeon would be giving the massage.

“Hmm, even if it’s not a scam… I am worried. After all, I’m older, so my thoughts are conservative.”

“Don’t worry. The thing you’re thinking of won’t happen.”

Sebastian was speaking as indirectly as possible, but Alice understood what he meant. But what can I do? This is a treatment process.

‘It’s a treatment process. Yeah….’

Alice nodded inwardly and continued speaking.

“Ahem, come to think of it, is there no news from Dad?”

“Yes. They say he hasn’t returned to headquarters yet.”

“…Is it because of that Centaur?”

“Yes. That’s right. Since the government requested help, the Guild Master also seems to be going all out.”

“Dad doesn’t take calls when he’s working, so… I see.”

The Iris Guild Master is the type not to receive other calls during work for perfect execution. Knowing that, Alice nodded and stretched.

“Haaah, for now, leave the prepared things. I did tell him to come.”

“Yes. Understood.”

After Sebastian bowed his head and left the room, Alice threw herself onto the bed.

“…Should I send a message?”

Shouldn’t it be okay to ask at least the schedule for when he’ll come? This is a contract, isn’t it? He won’t think I’m a strange woman just because I rush him, right? This isn’t a small amount of money, it’s a large sum…

“At the student council, Professor Im Sol…”

These are the people Lee Hoyeon went to meet. Professor Im Sol is out of the question, and the student council’s main purpose must be to meet Moon Surin.

“Why are there so many other girls?”

The Lucy and Lumi twins, a strange woman living together at home, Nam Daeun, Im Sol, and Moon Surin. No matter how capable he is, her father, the Iris Guild Master, probably wasn’t dating six people at that age.

“Playing around with other girls and not keeping the contract…”

Alice felt upset. It doesn’t matter if he plays around with other girls. But being late for her contract because of that is unacceptable.

‘If he contacts me, I have to say something.’

Hmm hmm. That would be good. I have to be very stern.

Ring ring-

As soon as Alice finished thinking, her smartwatch rang. It was Lee Hoyeon’s exclusive alarm sound.

• Lee Hoyeon: Alice. I’m on my way now. Sorry I’m late. I’ll be right there.

“Gasp, he’s here.”

Alice hesitated, about to move her hand to reply.

“No. If I reply right away, it’ll seem like I was waiting.”

Alice put down her smartwatch and looked at the wall.

“Scarlet?”

“Yes. Young Lady.”

Shhhk-

As soon as Alice called her name, Scarlet dropped down from the ceiling.

“…You were on the ceiling.”

“Yes. What is it?”

“Um, Lee Hoyeon is coming soon, you know? Please send Sebastian out.”

“Uh… I’ll speak to him properly.”

It was convenient talking to Scarlet because she understands immediately even if I speak vaguely.

“Yes, yes. Please do.”

Scarlet disappeared again, and Alice grabbed her smartwatch again.

“…If I reply now, it should be fine.”

• Me: It’s okay. I was also handling work. Come slowly.

Done. It passed naturally, as if I wasn’t expecting it at all. Alice smiled with satisfaction and sprayed perfume on her body, preparing for Lee Hoyeon’s arrival.
