“hello?”

“Oh, hello.”

Su-rin Moon had her straight platinum-blond hair tied in a ponytail and was wearing a uniform like a student council president. I focused on her face without taking my eyes off her body.

“Can I sit here?”

“Oh, yes. It’s okay.”

But suddenly it’s a combination?

Moon Su-rin didn’t seem to care about my embarrassment, so she naturally put down her clutch bag on the seat next to her and even hung her coat on the chair.

“Do you think you like that?”

“yes?”

“Claire Rose Latte. The owner said that no one was ordering it except me. He was originally going to remove the menu, but he saw my face and said he was leaving it, but I’m glad to see that there is someone ordering it besides me.”

“Ah… yes. I like it. The spicy taste at the end is very addictive.”

“Right, right? Why don’t you know about this delicious thing?”

Squeak

It was cute how he ordered two cups of Claire Rose Latte and grumbled while gulping down them.

If you feel like it, I want to give you my drink too.

★ Heroine status window

[Moon Su-rin]

– [Likeability: 25]

– [Sexual drive: 15]

– [Appetite: 30]

– [Fatigue: 70]

My favorability rating has increased by 5 since the last time we met. I didn’t do anything, so why is it going up?

“I was sorry about the restaurant earlier. I wanted to talk to Hoyeon, but the restaurant was too attention-grabbing.”

“No, I was rude last time too. I had no idea it was the student council president.”

“It’s okay. We both did something wrong, so let’s just move on.”

Sigh. Su-rin Moon brings her face forward and makes eye contact with me. When my face suddenly got closer, I was embarrassed and unknowingly put my head back.

“Why, why are you doing that?”

“It’s really strange. I’ve definitely not seen him a few times, but every time I see Hoyeon, I feel comfortable, like an old friend.”

“…”

‘The heroine’s mindset is well established.’ I can only explain it this way.

I would be grateful if it made me feel familiar. It becomes easier to attack.

“Oh, then you can talk comfortably. I’m a first year student.”

“Really? Then I’ll do it comfortably, so Hoyeon can talk comfortably too.”

“Okay, Chairman.”

“You want me to take it easy? We’re only two years apart in age.”

“But how can you tell the Chairman…”

Jerrit. He looks at me with disapproving eyes.

“Now, follow me. Nu. Me.”

“sister.”

“Hehehe… No, it’s big. That’s right. It’s easier to say ‘noona.’ It’s better if you say ‘Surin noona.’”

“Yes, I understand. Sister Surin.”

“Hehehe…”

Every time I say something to my sister, I cover my mouth and twist my body like a returning student who heard my junior call me my brother.

‘Why on earth is it so easy? Moon Su-rin….’

Moon Su-rin was knocked down with just one word, [older sister].

Have I ever made a woman laugh by saying the word ‘sister’ in my life? I felt so proud.

I looked at Moon Su-rin, who was smiling with a happy smile on her face.

click!

At that time, I heard the sound of a photo being taken from the window.

As I looked in that direction, I saw a man covered in a black coat running in the distance.

“No, that bastard.”

I jumped up to chase after the man.

“It’s okay, sit down. Hoyeon.”

“Why? They’re paparazzi. If you follow them right away, you’ll be able to catch them.”

No matter how much I took the wizard route, there was no way I couldn’t catch an ordinary person running away.

“That person is not an ordinary person. Even if I chase him, he will probably deny that I didn’t take a picture. Anyway, I can’t do anything with just a picture of him with a man, so it’s okay.”

Moon Su-rin already seemed resigned.

“No, it’s not an ordinary person, but an awakened person playing paparazzi? Does this happen often?”

“Yeah, I’m already tired of counting. I’m not a celebrity. I never thought I’d worry about something like this.”

Su-rin Moon sighed and took a sip of her Claire Rose latte.

‘The stalker case will start soon.’

The main event that occurs when you take the Munsu-rin route. It looks like the ‘stalker incident’ is slowly starting.

As the protagonist solves this case together, he becomes closer to Moon Su-rin.

Of course, I know who the stalker is, but it seems like the stalker hasn’t caught up with me yet, and if I come forward now, I’ll end up being treated like a crazy person.

“By the way, I watched the 1-on-1 sparring video. Your skills are good, right?”

“Huh? How did you see that?”

“It was posted on Everyday, but it was posted without your permission.”

It’s not that important that my video was uploaded. What is important is the main event, the ‘Stalker Incident’.

I have to be involved in the ‘stalker case’. We need to intervene when Moon Su-rin is having a hard time, not at the beginning.

I feel sorry for Moon Su-rin, but it will make the attack easier that way.

“… It’s okay. Well, sister. Just in case.”

“huh?”

“If you ever need help with anything, please let me know right away. I will help you in any way I can. As you can see, I have some abilities.”

“Hehe. Yes. Thank you.”

Moon Su-rin is looking at me as if she were looking at her younger brother who has already grown up so much. Something is embarrassing.

“Then I’ll leave now. Sister Surin.”

“Yes. Be careful going in. Oh, just a moment!”

Su-rin Moon takes something out of her clutch bag and hands it to me.

“Give me your number and go.”

Every day.

This is an internet community used among students at Victoria Academy.

A lot of useful information, such as issues related to abilities, guild information, and new dungeons, is shared among students.

Of course, there was also a free bulletin board there, but one post posted on Wednesday night completely turned Everyday upside down.

[trot! Are you on a date alone with the student council president, Su-rin Moon?]

The article was just a picture with no content.

A photo of Moon Soo-rin covering her mouth with one hand and smiling, and a man smiling across from her.

It was clearly a photo of a couple enjoying a date.

This article rose to the top of the Everyday article list, receiving more than 500 recommendations.

[Well, does it make sense that Moon Soo-rin doesn’t have a boyfriend?]

[No, what kind of boyfriend is this? There was a photo taken like this last time, and you were a junior on the student council.]

[No, it was because the level of men at that time was so low. Look at the man’s face in this photo. Pretty and handsome things meet each other. Ugh ㅅㅂ]

[die dead die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die”

One insignificant article fell like a meteor on a quiet community and spread at an incredible speed.

[trot! The man’s identity is revealed.]

[who is this? Model? celebrity?]

[Ho-Yeon Lee, a freshman in Class A at Victoria Academy. He’s in the same class as me haha]

[Wow, fuck. New student? As a second-year student, I haven’t had a conversation with Su-rin Moon yet, but I’m going to Class A tomorrow to practice discipline.]

[If it’s Lee Ho-yeon, isn’t she the one with golden eyes shining in the 1-on-1 sparring video earlier? It looked so damn strong.]

[This message has been deleted.]

[Ah hahaha, delete it right away and see what happens.]

Hoyeon Lee.

He caught the attention of the professors and Ellis while catching a level 7 scrap metal giant during the last exam, but most students didn’t know about him.

A video of a one-on-one sparring against Lucy was uploaded, but few people knew that it was Lee Ho-yeon.

[Lee Ho-yeon showed up to level 5 in today’s virtual monster training, and even caught the level 7 scrap metal giant with one cue.]

[what? How does level 5 fit into A class?]

[They said you made it to level 7. Even if that’s not the case, what’s wrong with dating the chairman’s granddaughter?]

[This is not humanly right haha. He has a good-looking face and good skills, but he feels deprived.]

[But putting everything aside, dating Moon Soo-rin is the most depriving feeling, huh?]

[ㅇㅈ Haha, I really have it all.]

What surprised me the most were the first-year Class A cadets.

“Hey, have you seen Everyday? They say Ho-yeon Lee is dating the student council president?”

“What? Really?”

Class A was noisier than ever since morning.

One male cadet vented his anger.

“Why is Lee Ho-yeon dating Moon Su-rin just because she’s so good?”

“Are you asking because you really don’t know? If you have a face like that, you could live off of it for the rest of your life.”

“…”

A male cadet sat back down in tears after hearing a female cadet’s sharp facts.

Since the semester had just started, there weren’t many incidents that could become issues.

So, it was natural that attention was focused on the scandal between Lee Ho-yeon and student council president Moon Su-rin.

Of course, there is no official statement that the two are really dating, but Hoyeon Lee’s name became known throughout Victoria Academy.

at that time.

Grumble-

Lee Ho-yeon, the center of the incident, appeared in the classroom.

Friday morning.

Today, only theory classes are scheduled, no sparring. So, I trained hard in magic until last night. Since I have already finished reading the theory textbook once and roughly read the main papers, I decided to take a break from theory for a while.

“Ha, I’m sleepy.”

I am now used to waking up in the dormitory in the morning.

As I open the curtains, the eerie morning sunlight envelopes my entire body.

I’m careful not to shower in the morning, so I just wash my hair, wash my face, and shake off the water.

I roughly put on my cadet uniform and go out to the dormitory. It was like going to college again, so it was still fun. till now.

Strangely, a lot of eyes are focused on me on my way to school. Men talking loudly in the corner over there. I feel like he’s looking at me, is it because of my mood?

“Lee Ho-yeon…blah blah blah.”

“…I’ll kill you…”

It’s hard to hear because it’s far away, but I think I can hear my name a little bit. Maybe it’s because of the one-on-one video that Surinunna talked about yesterday.

I felt uneasy for no reason, so I walked quickly to the first-year class building.

Grumble-

As you enter Class A, everyone’s eyes turn to this direction.

But it doesn’t go back. He just keeps looking at me.

What, why are you like this, everyone?

I felt scared because there were over 30 people just looking at me without saying a word. Should I close the door again and leave? While I was seriously thinking about it, Kim Young-han approached me.

“good morning.”

“Uh, good morning. But why is the mood like this? What’s going on?”

“It’s because of you, scandal man.”

What is a scandal man? I thought for a moment. What happened with Moon Su-rin yesterday came to mind.

“Is it because someone… took a picture with the chairman?”

“Yes. The Academy is in complete turmoil because of one photo. Are you really dating the president?”

Well, what if I told you I was dating here?

When it comes to dating, the best outcome is dating Moon Su-rin. But my goal is not to date Moon Su-rin. We’re targeting heroines.

The worst outcome would be not being able to date Moon Soo-rin and her likability would drop.

I think it’s right to move on without any problems.

“No, we just met by chance at a cafe. We shared our favorite drinks, so we exchanged a word or two and that was it.”

“Your favorite drinks overlap, so you can even eat together?”

“There was a face-to-face meeting before.”

“… Really? That’s a relief.”

An uneasy feeling remains on Kim Young-han’s expression, but what can I do? They say I exist.

“See. I said no.”

“Yeah, I know you guys were saying shit about leaving the fan club.”

“Why don’t you just shut up?”

I passed through the noisy classroom again and sat down.

There was a little time left until class started, so I took out my smartphone, and a message that had just arrived appeared on the screen.

[Hoyeon, you’re not really dating the student council president, are you??]

The sender is Rumi.

I glance at Rumi and see that she is chatting away with Lucy as if she doesn’t know anything.

[Because it’s not.]

[Really? phew.]

Anyone would think that you are already dating him. I ended the conversation because I didn’t think a reply was necessary.

“Well, good morning.”

At that moment, Jinhyeok Kim, the professor in charge, also entered the classroom. He also has white hair and a black suit.

“Good morning. There is an announcement today. Starting next week, new students will be able to participate in club activities. Please select at least one club you want and submit it by next Friday…”

After the boring announcements, everyone got busy preparing for morning classes.

“Next class is Mana Research Gaebande.”

“Why, I’m looking forward to it. You said it’s the most practical class at the academy.”

Because it is Mana Studies, it is a practice-oriented class, although it is part of a theory class.

I am looking forward to it as it is practical and teaches a lot of skills to be an active hunter.

“Hmm.”

I need to focus on the heroines, but it seems like I’ve been too faithful to the Academy these days.

Rumi and I have plans for the weekend, and Nam Da-eun and Ellis need to be at least at a level where they can threaten to be first in the written and practical tests before we can start targeting them. Moon Su-rin is not in the same grade, and the remaining heroine is going to meet him this weekend.

Then the only heroine I can talk to right now is… Lucy.

When I looked around the classroom, I saw Lucy packing her things for her Mana Studies class alongside Rumi.

★ Heroine status window

[Lucy]

– [Likeability: 27]

– [Sexual Desire: 5]

– [Appetite: 40]

– [Fatigue: 20]

★ Heroine status window

[Rumi]

– [Likeability: 35]

– [Sexual drive: 30]

– [Appetite: 15]

– [Fatigue: 40]

Both likability ratings are not bad.

Should I go and have a chat? Since we are in the same group as Rumi, let’s use that as an excuse to talk to her.

“Rumi, did you send our picture to the professor?”

“Ah, Mr. Hoyeon, yes. I sent it that very day.”

“You two look close?”

Lucy speaks in a slightly prickly tone. Even though his favorability rating is 27, he has a sharp tone of voice.

Lucy becomes unnecessarily picky when it comes to Rumi’s friends. He doesn’t even know that Rumi can’t make friends because of him. Rumi’s personality is not one to voice such complaints, so it’s a vicious cycle that can’t be helped.

“Hello, Lucy. Since we’re in the same group as Rumi, we should be friends.”

“Well, that’s right. Ho-yeon isn’t a bad girl. But if you two meet in private, I won’t leave you alone, okay?”

“Haha, that can’t be true.”

“….”

“What, Rumi, why are you so quiet all of a sudden? Would anyone think you had plans for the weekend?”

“No, it’s not like that.”

“….”

Rumi’s eyes tremble as if she has nowhere to go. I guess I’m the kind of person who can’t lie.

“…… hey.”

“I think I did well on the assignment, so I’ll go. See you next time, Rumi. Bye, Lucy too!”

In times like this, it’s best to leave quickly. Because I am the ‘bad guy’ Lee Ho-yeon.

“Hey, Lee Ho-yeon, come here. What have you done to our innocent Rumi!”

“Lucy, wait a minute, let me explain. You can’t use magic here!”

Isn’t this what bad men are like?
