Chapter Index

    Tuesday afternoon when Hoyeon Lee went to the magic fair.

    After regular classes at the academy, Ellis prepared to return home.

    ‘In the end, we haven’t reached the end.’

    Ellis glanced at Lee Ho-yeon’s empty seat.

    I was wondering why incidents would break out wherever that man went.

    I don’t know if it was a field trip or something, but it is said that he was involved in a terrorist attack at the magic fair he went to with Professor Lim Sol.

    ‘Isn’t Lee Ho-yeon a shadowy figure?’

    The frequency with which it appears in the news is increasing to the extent that it makes you think.

    Tsk.

    Ellis, who had a strange thought, chuckled and shook his head.

    Because that can’t be possible.

    ‘It was completely blocked, so you wouldn’t get hurt, right?’

    News about the terrorist attack spread not only on the Internet but also in foreign media in just a few hours.

    In fact, terrorism is a big problem, but terrorist attacks by Mine occur several times a day around the world.

    Therefore, it was not an issue that could spread to foreign media in an instant. What became the real issue was Professor Lim Sol’s magic that blocked it.

    To put it in one word… It was a magic that made me think that I could never do anything wrong in the professor’s class.

    In addition, there was a variety of news such as a statement from the Magical Society saying that Professor Lim Sol should be re-evaluated, but it was not very important to Ellis, so she did not look for it.

    What is important to her is Lee Ho-yeon.

    There was a reason he couldn’t get hurt.

    This is because the mana circuit has finally narrowed.

    The time has come when mana massage is needed again.

    Hoyeon Lee needs help.

    “Time… when is it okay?”

    That was when Ellis was looking back at his schedule.

    “Hey, Miss Ellis?”

    Someone spoke from behind.

    When I slowly turned my head, I saw a face I had seen many times before.

    “It’s been a while. I came here for the final exam celebration.”

    “…Final exam commemorative party? Ah, Senior Secretary.”

    It occurred to me only after hearing those words.

    The senior in front of me was the secretary of the student council.

    It had been a long time since I visited the student council, so I was a little confused.

    “Yes, yes. This is a plan. Please take a look at it. The Public Relations Department is also a student council….”

    After checking the documents, Ellis’ first thought was that it was annoying.

    [Student council final exam commemorative party plan!]

    It’s a plan that looks cumbersome at first glance.

    It seems like a lot of people will gather.

    It was very different from Ellis’s style, which liked to be quiet.

    If this were an important party, I would hold out and leave, but it’s not like that… .

    ‘Wait a minute, I said it was the public relations department, so didn’t Lee Ho-yeon come too?’

    Ellis, who was trying to politely decline, remembered the existence of Lee Ho-yeon.

    Lee Ho-yeon is not a man who would miss a social gathering like this due to his personality.

    “It may seem more complicated than it looks, but in fact, first year is largely….”

    “Is Hoyeon Lee participating?”

    Ellis looked at the documents and asked the clerk at the same time.

    “Huh? Oh, of course Hoyeon will participate as well. Anyway, first year students….”

    “Then I will do it.”

    If Ho-yeon Lee participates, I have to do it.

    Ellis signed the document without further ado.

    “Uh, huh?”

    “I said I would. Senior.”

    And then he held it out to the clerk who blinked.

    The clerk was surprised for a moment, but then smiled and took the document, thinking that the work was over.

    “Thank you. Miss Ellis seems to be very close with Hoenn?”

    “…Uh, it’s not like that.”

    “Hoyeon signed without hesitation when she heard she was participating. I’m glad. The juniors are close. The seniors’ camaraderie has been shattered, so please be nice to everyone.”

    “….”

    Even after seeing the secretary dissing the student council’s disgraceful vice-president and slowly disappearing, Ellis was unable to refute anything.

    Now that I think about it, why did he sign depending on whether Lee Ho-yeon would participate or not?

    Fortunately, my worries didn’t last long and I was able to come to a conclusion soon.

    “… We need to talk about massage.”

    I have to talk about centaurs, and there is more than one thing I want to say.

    Mmmmm.

    Of course, this could be said over the phone or via message, but Ellis averted his eyes from the truth.

    “Massage, centaurs, business… yes. You have to see these things face to face.”

    I just kept repeating the same words.

    *

    Wednesday morning.

    I saw off Sister Nam Da-eun at the entrance.

    “I’ll go first, Hoyeon.”

    “Oppa! I’m going!”

    “Yeah, yeah. See you later.”

    The reason I sent Sister Nam Da-eun first is because I have something to say about Scarlett and Isa.

    Scarlett, who came home late yesterday wondering what she was doing, only told me about the house this morning.

    And then he started telling a surprising story.

    “…20 billion?”

    “Yes. You told me to get it on good terms, right?”

    “I did say that. Yeah….”

    How good of a deal did you get?

    The only houses I’ve lived in are villas, studio apartments, and academy dormitories, but it doesn’t feel real to suddenly have a house worth 20 billion won.

    “I found the best house around. Land around the academy is naturally expensive.”

    “That’s true. Oh, it’s still 20 billion won.”

    “This is the house where Liliana and Nam Da-eun will live, so you’re not wasting money, are you?”

    Scarlett’s eyes widened and she covered her mouth.

    I’m pretending to be surprised.

    “Is that possible? I, haha. Yes, do as you wish.”

    Looking at that smiling face, it seems like he definitely did something, but he keeps talking here and there and hides it until the end.

    “You didn’t spend your money on anything strange, right?”

    I asked just in case, but Scarlett shook her head resolutely.

    “Absolutely not. In fact, I got it much cheaper than the market price. Even if I sell it after living it for just a few years, the market profit will be huge.”

    “Tsk. If that’s the case.”

    Actually, I would have been angry if it had been my money, but it wasn’t my money.

    In fact, I was going to give all of the 30 billion won I stole from the Buyers Guild to Nam Da-eun.

    But I refused to take it, so I had no choice but to take it.

    It’s not a waste to say that I used it to buy a house.

    “… But why are you smiling?”

    “I didn’t laugh, big.”

    That smile just makes me uneasy.

    “Is it okay if I don’t check it myself?”

    “Yes. Don’t worry.”

    It bothers me that you don’t tell me the address… I wouldn’t know if I lived alone, but since I live in a shared home, I would have looked for something nice.

    It must be a slightly extravagant house.

    Surely you didn’t buy something like this [10 billion pottery (genuine)]?

    Then I’d be really angry.

    “Okay, then let’s go. Be nice to Liliana.”

    Liliana locked herself in her room, saying she had to broadcast harder before moving.

    ‘He’ll be here for a week anyway, but he’s in a hurry.’

    I said hello to Scarlett and left the dormitory.

    Arrived at the academy and headed to first year A class.

    This place was always crowded.

    – Even if you bring alcohol to a commemorative party… .

    – Do you want to play with me?

    The cadets were gathered together and talking about the commemorative party.

    Seeing as the news about the commemorative event has spread so much, it seems like it must be famous.

    That means there is a lot to do.

    Thinking about it again made me feel annoyed, but I held back.

    Naturally, I approached Lucy and Rumi who were already sitting.

    “Hoyeon, hello.”

    “Lee Ho-yeon, you’re really strong. Isn’t that enough to get you hurt once?”

    “What are you talking about?”

    As I said hello and sat down between Lucy and Rumi, Lucy looked at me curiously.

    “The news said it was a massive terrorist attack… Of course, I saw the professor deal with it in an instant.”

    Lucy trembled slightly as she remembered Imsol’s magic.

    Well, I was surprised, so I wonder how surprised other people were.

    When I saw the news on the way there, they said they were being invited by a magic society. I wonder what will happen.

    “Still, I’m glad you weren’t hurt… Mr. Hoyeon.”

    “Thank you, Rumi.”

    I chatted with the Lucy Rumi twins until class started.

    From what you did yesterday to ‘Do you have time today?’ at the end.

    I averted my eyes, trying to ignore the desire in Lucy’s eyes as she asked the last question.

    “… I have to go to the student council today.”

    “Student Council?”

    “Yes. Because of the final exam celebration.”

    “Ah, that’s right. I got a message. It says that unless you have special circumstances, you must participate.”

    “I’m also a member of the student council. They called me to do some work.”

    “That’s amazing. Mr. Hoenn….”

    “Tsk. Okay. I’ll pass today! Oh, by the way, the final exam is right after the memorial party ends, so what should I do?”

    Rumi’s eyes sparkled as she looked up at me from next to me, and Lucy turned the fan as if she was annoyed.

    “Has it happened already? I need to study for finals.”

    Time flies so fast.

    No, is it slow?

    My schedule is full every day, so there is so much to do.

    “Hoyeon… you’re good at studying.”

    “That’s right. Why are you always good at studying when you always play?”

    “You have to do it in advance. In advance.”

    I prepared for class while receiving envious looks from the twins.

    In fact, my grades were due to special privileges, but in order to lie completely, I got to the point where I even deceived myself.

    I think of myself as a genius.

    Then you will be able to lie without being pricked by your conscience!

    “Then, please let us know about your studies… in the club room.”

    “That’s good! I can’t do it today, so what about tomorrow?”

    The perverted twins persuaded me with obviously shady intentions.

    “You guys aren’t going to study… Tsk. If you don’t have an appointment, I’ll let you know.”

    Of course I didn’t refuse.

    *

    “Wow, he’s famous! He’s famous!”

    “… Quiet.”

    Im Sol frowned as he looked at Min Ye-ji, who was surprised to see him.

    “Ayoung, did you see Sol’s magic? He just floated up into the sky, and when he hit the light, all the demons melted.”

    “Don’t drag Ayoung into it.”

    “I saw it. It was cool. Why? Isn’t that something to be embarrassed about?”

    Imsol sighed as she saw her friends making fun of her, but at the same time, she was thankful.

    Even after seeing that ability, they treated me like usual.

    However, even if he supported himself equally, he did not feel the excitement that he felt from Ho-yeon Lee.

    ‘… ‘It’s serious.’

    Jook-

    While Imsol was sipping coffee to clear his mind, Min Ye-ji began teasing Baek A-young, the next target.

    “Well, there are professors who like students too, right?”

    “It doesn’t matter because I’m a school nurse, not a professor. School nurses are employees.”

    “Sol. Sol. Look at what Ayoung is saying. Huh? Look.”

    “Oh, sorry. I was thinking about something else. What was it?”

    Imsol, who was thinking about Lee Ho-yeon while nodding roughly, finally came to his senses after hearing Min Ye-ji’s words.

    “They say the school nurse is not a professor. That’s why they say you can like cadets…!”

    Sigh-

    Min Ye-ji played a bitter joke on Baek A-young, and Baek A-young lowered her head and drank her drink with her face turning red.

    Whenever the three of us meet, this conversation always takes place.

    Min Ye-ji makes fun of Baek Ah-young, and Im Sol tries to stop Min Ye-ji.

    But today was different.

    “… If we like each other, wouldn’t other conditions matter?”

    Imsol pretended like nothing was happening and took a sip of his coffee.

    But as soon as those words were said, the table was filled with silence.

    The two people who have seen Imsol for a long time know.

    That this woman is not the person to give such a feminine answer.

    “…Sol?”

    “Hey, competitor….”

    Min Ye-ji looked at Im Sol with disbelief, and Baek A-young almost spit out the drink she was drinking.

    “Please don’t look at me strangely. It’s just my opinion.”

    Im Sol expressed his opinion for self-defense, but there was no way Min Ye-ji would listen to that.

    “Hey, Lee Ho-yeon. This bad guy. He’s trying to steal all my friends….”

    Min Ye-ji closed her eyes tightly, as if sad, but the corners of her mouth turned up.

    Because something fun happened and I felt good.

    “No, I haven’t stolen it yet… Calm down.”

    “Ah, not yet….”

    Baek Ah-young opened her mouth as if her soul had escaped after hearing Lim Sol’s words.

    Because it was a statement that confirmed that Im Sol was also his competitor.

    “Sol, tell me straight. Why did you do that!

    “ha….”

    Min Ye-ji started to cling to Im-sol like a lion looking for prey, and Im-sol laughed as she looked at Baek A-young, whose mouth was open as if in a daze.

    I figured that if I was going to get caught someday anyway, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get caught beforehand.
