“Liliana?”

Liliana was overcome by smoke and became speechless. Fortunately, the smoke soon disappeared.

“What, where has he gone?”

Did they at least make it invisible?

Whoosh whoosh

I waved my hand at where Liliana was and found nothing.

– It’s here!

Liliana’s voice was heard from below.

A silver chain necklace with a red gem had fallen on the floor.

“Is that you?”

– okay-! It’s me, it’s me!

“Oh. Isn’t it cool?”

It’s amazing that it can be transformed into a necklace, but I think it would be okay to wear something with a simple design.

“But as a succubus, isn’t there anything like invisibility or spirit form?”

– There is, but if there is a wizard stronger than me, it will take effect right away, right? This isn’t magic, it’s something like a racial trait, so it won’t work very well.

Hmm. I definitely don’t think I can follow it.

I couldn’t feel any movement of mana.

– It doesn’t matter if it’s like this. right?

“It doesn’t matter.”

There won’t be any problem. It might be better to get noticed than to be alone and have something happen to you.

“Okay. Let’s go together starting tomorrow then.”

– okay!

pop!

After achieving her purpose, Liliana returned to her original form.

“Oh, everything is good, but it’s been a while so I’m a little tired.”

When I saw Liliana stretching and yawning that she was tired, I suddenly became curious.

“I have a question. Can I ask you?”

“Huh? Well, are you curious about my breast size too? I was asked that question over a hundred times during the broadcast earlier. I told you about it first, but….”

“No, you don’t have to know, right? And next time, don’t tell me things like that.”

Does this succubus have common sense or not? You have to decide on just one so I can let you know.

“Then what is it? Ask.”

“I might misunderstand you because you mentioned breasts, but it’s really just pure curiosity. You’re a succubus, but don’t you eat semen or something?”

“Contractor Lee Ho-yeon. Are you crazy?”

“I’m sorry. It was purely out of curiosity.”

The timing was bad. Have I fallen prey to a ploy to make me into a bad person by deliberately talking about my breasts?

“Well, actually, there are a lot of other succubi who enjoy semen. My friends all say they enjoy it, but I’m not naturally attracted to it. I’ve never put it in my mouth. Why do I eat the dirty stuff that comes out of where I pee?”

“uh….”

It’s a straight argument. It’s a true opinion, but you shouldn’t say it with a heart attached? It’s called probability collapse.

“Then I’m going to take a shower and sleep, so take care of yourself!”

gun gun gun

Liliana went into the bathroom to wash.

“I don’t know if I’m living with a succubus or a nun.”

To be honest, I had some expectations when summoning the succubus, but I guess I should say I was disappointed. Should I not?

“I need to sleep too.”

After finishing my shower in the training building, I immediately lay down on the sofa in the living room.

Now that I think about it, I guess I should order a bed too.

Still, I feel reassured because I have money.

Think of it as a money copy machine, not a succubus.

*

– Wow, is this a place called the Academy? Why is it so wide?

I was taking Liliana to the academy’s first-year class building.

Liliana was surprised to see the academy, it wasn’t a big deal, but for no reason I felt proud.

“It’s not that surprising. This is the smallest school in the world.”

– what? really? The human world has advanced so much?

“Guraya.”

– … ? It’s ridiculous, really. Hey, how fucking old are you?

On the way there, I was bored so I teased him once, but he immediately responded with insults.

Here, ‘So how old are you? Madame.’ It might sound more fun, but I endured it with transcendent patience.

“I’m sorry. I won’t be able to answer you because I’ll be out in a crowded place soon.”

– Mr. Hoyeon. If it happens like this, I have no choice but to be uncooperative. know?

“I understand. I understand. Just pay attention to Victoria Academy. Later, if information is leaked on broadcast, it becomes details. All of them come together and become a perfect crime.”

For example, when there is an exam at the academy soon, ‘I’m busy because it’s exam period at school soon~.’ Just saying one word greatly increases the credibility of Liliana being an academy cadet.

‘The fountain in the center of our school is pretty~.’ Or, ‘There were beautiful flowers blooming on the trail I walked today~.’ It would be better if you said the same thing.

– What happened is that this young bastard has no choice but to cheat. Tsk tsk.

“….”

Since I had nothing to deny, I quietly entered the class building.

Today is a Mana Research class.

This is the class where there was an accident last time because of Professor Lim Sol. An old professor named Han Jae-young is in charge.

When I arrived, all the cadets were already seated.

I glanced around, and Lucy and Rumi were sitting in the corner, and Kim Young-han was sitting with other friends.

There is no one to sit with.

I never thought my personal relationships would be this narrow.

I sat down in a reasonably spare seat.

It is a seat that is at least one space away from others.

-Why are you sitting alone? Wow?

“….”

I took out my notebook and wrote in the corner, ‘Shut up you crazy succubus.’ He scribbled it down.

– Tsk tsk. What do you do if your face is smooth? I can’t use it.

“Whoa….”

I brought it here for no reason. I already regret it.

“Hello. I’m Jaeyoung Han, in charge of the Mana Research class.”

An old professor wearing a white suit began teaching at the lecture hall.

“Today I will give a lecture about magic circles.”

The presentation the professor had prepared appeared as a hologram.

“A magic circle is basically a tool needed to use magic. There is no need to explain basic elements such as [mana must be converted into a magic circle and released to create magic], right?”

ding ding ding

Presentations that someone would have worked hard to create are overlooked.

The trendy design seems to be the result of the assistant’s hard work. If you’re going to do that, why don’t you tell me to make it?

“The process of converting magical power into a magic circle and releasing it. It is the basic part of magic, but it is the most difficult part. This is why the magic circle is not visible in easy magic, but the more advanced magic is, the more visible the magic circle is. Because it is so complicated, it cannot be made without visualizing it.”

Everyone is listening intently, but I know everything.

So I was killing time by chatting with the succubus hanging around my neck.

– But why is that male so skinny? Looking at the clothes you’re wearing, it doesn’t look like you have any money.

[Here, just because you’re rich doesn’t necessarily mean you’re fat. I also spend money to lose weight.]

– Eh? Why are you doing something so inefficient? When did you know that a war would break out and the accumulated capital would be lost?

[Humans are not warlike enough to risk everything they have and go to war.]

They say there are games in hell, so why don’t they know about them?

Is it because I have different values from the kids living in hell? I don’t know either.

“… Fortunately, there is the easiest and most standardized way to draw a magic circle. It is a method that previous wizards have consistently researched.”

Finally, as if the boring introduction was over, the professor began to demonstrate.

The magical power materialized at the professor’s fingertips turns into a thin thread, creating a magic circle.

“Spinning out magical power like a thread and drawing it one line at a time. This is the most standard method. As your level increases, you can draw two lines at a time, but I recommend drawing one line at a time but increasing the speed. That’s more efficient. .”

– But, isn’t the class content bad at schools in the human world?

[This is the best educational institution in the human world.]

– Ah, but I feel like I’m living in that corner from now on. What’s your relationship with that big-breasted girl?

… When it comes to big-breasted girls sending me their best wishes, there’s only one person I can pick up.

[He is not a child, he is the same age as me. My friend.]

– I don’t think we’re friends? Are you feeling murderous intent?

[…] I used the skill you told me was the look of hatred and it ended up like that.]

– aha. That works really well. Because of that, there were a lot of murders.

If you knew that, could you at least give me a hint in advance? What if it got worse and an irreversible fight with Lucy broke out? You damn succubus bitch.

Let’s be patient. You can’t touch my money. Think of it as the goose that lays the golden egg.

[…] Next time, tell me clearly about the effect. No, please rearrange the effects of the magic I learned.]

– It’s annoying, but I’ll do something special for you.

ha. Not even a kid or anything. You say you’re 50 years old, but you still look like a kid.

Anyway, I feel a murderous intent towards Lucy, so I don’t know whether to like it or hate it.

I glanced at him, but I was scared that we might make eye contact, so I just looked straight ahead.

“… A magic circle is drawn in this way. The higher the level of the magician, the faster this speed becomes. For reference, Professor Lim Sol, who holds a professorship at Victoria Academy, is also one of the most skilled in the world. From what I heard, he draws at an incredible speed. They say you draw two lines at a time, but if an ordinary person were to follow along, their brain would be overloaded, so don’t even think about following along.”

– But aren’t you going to class? Actually, being a scoundrel makes me unable to study.

[I’m not listening because I know everything.]

Hmm, but I have some doubts.

Is there really a need to extract magic power like thread and draw it? Can’t you just stamp it all at once like a stamp?

[Liliana, do you use magic like that too?]

– Well, the details may be different, but if you look at the big picture, that approach is correct.

[Do you think it is impossible to print magical power in the form of a magic circle at once?]

– What kind of bullshit is that?

[So, what the professor is saying is to extract magic power in the form of a thin ‘thread’ and draw a magic circle. Rather, it remembers the shape of the ‘magic circle’ and makes it appear all at once, skipping the process of actually drawing the magic circle.]

– Ah, uh, um… . Will that work, you idiot? I know everything, but I’m really bad at studying.

“….”

Liliana doesn’t know my talent.

I don’t know that there is anyone who can beat me when it comes to using magical power.

‘Isn’t it okay to just try it?’

Professor Jaeyoung Han also told me to slowly create a magic circle, so I should try it too.

I slowly raised my magic power.

Grasp the magical power flowing through every corner of your body and shape it into your hands.

In this process, the basics of magic are to draw magic circles by pulling out magical power like a thread.

But I’m trying to make a magic circle from scratch.

– No, Mr. Hoyeon, the contractor. Don’t do weird things? If that happens, all other wizards will do the same. In the first place, living things don’t have that kind of magical power control ability.

There is no use in interrupting Liliana by saying something.

Magical power gradually condenses in my hands according to my will.

You need to collect as much as possible before releasing it out of the body. That way, you will be able to create the shape of a magic circle all at once.

– Oh, it’s frustrating, it’s frustrating. This is why the kids who can’t learn… uh?

‘Everyone is gathered.’

I had an intuition that I had gathered enough mana to form a magic circle.

The magic power that exploded from my hand all at once found its place in the air.

widely. widely. widely.

Just as a broken puzzle is regenerated in reverse, my mana searches for every nook and cranny of the magic circle as if this was its original place.

Eventually, the magic circle was completed in one go, and soon transformed into a fireball.

Grumbling-

– No, this is… what… Fuck?

[Why can’t it be done? You stupid bitch. This is me.]

I threw a punch at Liliana, who was dumbfounded and muttering to herself.

I’ve been swearing so much, but I guess it’s okay to say one word.

*

On Tuesday afternoon, Lucy, Rumi, and Felix were talking in the club room of [Let’s Play Club].

“Oh! Rumi! Applications for new members are coming in to our club!”

“I’m glad. Actually, I was worried because no one kept coming in…”

“This is all because that bastard Lee Ho-yeon is gone! I feel relieved!”

“Good, Lucy. Congratulations.”

“Thank you, Felix!”

Lucy was smiling as she looked at the new member applications on her smart watch.

I created a club to meet a lot of people, but just when I was a little worried because no new members showed up, new members started pouring in.

As I came in as if a dam that had been blocked until now had burst, my thoughts naturally reached Hoyeon Lee, whose timing was just right.

“It was really because of Lee Ho-yeon. Why did the rumor spread that not a single person applied?”

“Uhm, well… Actually, I’ve never heard a rumor about Mr. Hoenn…”

“Well, I haven’t heard it myself, but I remember hearing men talking behind people’s backs. I guess they talk behind people’s backs because there’s something there.”

There was a pretty vase on the desk where they were talking, and Felix was constantly fiddling with the vase during the conversation.

“Felix, why do you keep touching that vase?”

“Huh? It’s just because the flowers are pretty. It’s nothing.”

Felix smiled slightly and moved the vase to the center of the desk with a natural movement.

“Now that I think about it, guys, the midterm exam is coming soon. Did you study a lot?”

“Ugh, don’t say that. Studying is my weakness….”

“I’m not that good at it either….”

“Then, shall we gather here tomorrow and study together? I just happen to have a free schedule.”

Felix’s voice was somehow trustworthy. Lucy felt reassured every time she heard his voice.

“Really? I’m good!”

“I’m fine too.”

“Then let’s meet here tomorrow at this time.”

Felix was smiling trustingly.

*

That night, after returning to the dormitory.

“Hehehe. Our club is finally seeing the light.”

Lucy happily finished her shower and was smiling heartily as she dried her hair.

“Ah, but what is it? Something feels uncomfortable in my chest….”

I felt like I had forgotten something from the club room earlier, and a feeling of pain remained in my heart.

It was a time when Lucy was thinking deeply about this frustration.

Tiring-

Her smartwatch beeped and a message arrived.

Felix: Lucy, I’m sorry I was late at night. Rumi said that she forgot that she had a make-up class tomorrow, so she wouldn’t be able to study together. Is it okay for the two of us to do this?

“Ah, that’s right… Rumi, I clearly said that I would have supplementary classes tomorrow.”

I’m sure it was said when the three of us were together, but none of us could remember.

Even if Lucy forgot about herself, she never forgot anything about Rumi.

Even though we had an appointment at the same time, there was a time when he forgot his own appointment and only took care of Rumi’s appointment.

It made Lucy feel a bit uncomfortable to hear that she was forgetting about Rumi.

“There are days like this, right? You can’t always remember.”

Lucy shook off useless thoughts and wrote a message.

Me: Of course it’s okay for the two of us to do it~! I’ll see you tomorrow!

Lucy was about to reply when Hoyeon Lee’s face suddenly appeared in her mind.

[Just know this. I always thought of you as good friends, and that thought still hasn’t changed.]

“what the.”

Nonsense. After Hoyeon Lee disappeared, the number of people in the club increased, and I made a good friend named Felix.

“It’s better to filter out a guy like that quickly.”

He’s not helpful.

Lucy shook her head as if something bad had occurred to her and sent a reply to Felix.
