Moon Su-rin barely controlled her trembling heart and looked straight ahead.

The man sticking out of the robe had more facial hair and wrinkles than she last remembered.

Purple spots radiating demonic energy appeared all over the face, and the skin was saggy, but it was clearly recognizable.

That he is his father.

“Surin. It’s been a while.”

“…Father. Are you really my father?”

“It seems like just yesterday you were grabbing my pants while calling me daddy, but you’ve already become such a proper lady.”

Moon Su-rin placed her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes tightly to suppress the pounding headache.

My head felt like it was spinning.

Could it be that I was under some type of magic?

However, even though he was showing such weakness, the man in front of him did not move a thing.

Rather, the man in front of me lowered his hands as if he had no intention of attacking.

“… dad.”

“I’m sorry for only showing up now, Surin.”

The father smiles shyly and apologizes.

10 years have passed, but the moment I saw that smile, I realized that the man in front of me was my father.

“iced coffee….”

I continued to hate it.

I was so angry at my father for leaving me alone.

Still, I wanted to see it.

That was the reason why I protected Victoria Academy with affection.

To prepare a place to greet my father whenever he returns.

Moon Su-rin’s obsession with work originated from there.

I wanted to run right now and be held in his arms like when I was little.

“You’ve worked hard so far. Now come with me.”

However, Moon Su-rin unconsciously stopped approaching at the words of Moon Seong-min that cut off those feelings.

“… yes?”

“I need your strength. Help me. …to avenge my mother.”

“….”

After hearing the words of her father, Moon Seong-min, Moon Su-rin’s mind quickly began to cool down.

Mom’s revenge.

Of course, Moon Su-rin also wanted to do it.

If this were 10 years ago, I might have really risked my life.

At that time, I felt like I had lost everything in the world.

24 hours were empty and I felt like I had lost my purpose in life.

However, as time passes, emotions wear out and become thinner.

There are many things you need to be responsible for now.

Although she really missed him and loved her father, Moon Su-rin’s thoughts after hearing the words come out of his mouth were simple.

‘You, come now?’

The girl, who was young, weak, and delicate, survived on her own for 10 years.

I forgot all my hurts and met a new relationship.

But now he appears and tells me to follow him.

I’m sure you’re not asking me to come along for a meal after a long time.

It would be nice if I could do research somewhere for the rest of my life. Maybe I should become a mine.

That means that you must tear down the foundation you have built alone over the past 10 years with your own hands.

Surin Moon was reminded of a man at the center of that foundation.

“Let’s go now. Time…”

“Go, don’t come any closer.”

“… Surin?”

Seongmin Moon had a questioning look on his face, as if he had no idea this would happen.

When Moon Su-rin saw that expression, her feelings of welcome and joy gradually disappeared.

The father is surprised when he does not listen to his words.

It felt like he still saw himself as an 8-year-old child.

“… I have a job to do, too. I have to protect the academy that my father left behind, and my people.”

A student council that believes in and follows only one person.

Untrustworthy grandfather.

And even Lee Ho-yeon.

There were enough reasons for Moon Su-rin not to leave.

“Surin… I need your strength. Please…”

But the father kept repeating the same thing.

“….”

Those words that say you need your own strength.

At first, she accepted it without much thought, but for some reason, her father’s last words from 10 years ago passed through Moon Su-rin’s brain.

– Become stronger. Be sure to become strong.

It was only later that Moon Su-rin understood what he said.

Growing up without parental love was a difficult burden for a young child.

It means never break down, never break, but be strong.

I have kept those words in my heart my whole life.

But that’s what it looks like now.

Moon Su-rin, who saw her father still crazy about revenge even after 10 years, remembered another family.

perhaps. Isn’t that really what it sounds like?

Maybe I just needed to become ‘stronger’.

Recently, I was awakened by a demon attack.

He became stronger than before, and his father appeared in front of him.

He kept his word to become stronger, and the person who had disappeared for 10 years suddenly appeared. Coincidentally, the timing worked out perfectly.

Still, Moon Su-rin still had hope.

The bond between blood relatives was not something that could be easily broken.

“Father, please just come back. Grandfather is still worried about you. Just like before… we can just be together…”

“Surin… please, please. Please….”

However, seeing Moon Seong-min’s eyes that seemed like he would never give up, Moon Su-rin eventually bowed his head.

“I’m sorry. I… I can’t go.”

There are people you want to protect, and there are people you want to be with.

I couldn’t give up the dream I had finally found.

“…Surin.”

Moon Seong-min, who was gaping at Moon Su-rin with his mouth open, shook his head regretfully.

“If you come out like that… I can’t help it.”

And then, a huge demonic force was unleashed.

*

A party commemorating the final exams at Victoria Academy, which was a mixed bag.

Most of the cadets ran out of the party, and the food and party they had prepared were already ruined.

In that ruined space, a blonde girl was walking.

“… Where is this again?”

Ellis, who got lost in the crowded party, was in a bad mood.

I tried to go home right after talking with Nam Da-eun, but I couldn’t find the way out.

In the end, I got hungry after wandering around, so I ate and sent a call to Sebastian Chan to come pick him up as I was thinking of going home.

If it had been Alice’s personality, she would have gone home as soon as she felt bad, but today was a little different.

This is because the face of Sebastian Chan, telling me to strengthen friendships and have a good time with my friends, came to mind.

Like a family man who couldn’t tell his family he was unemployed, Ellis spent some time at the party.

Fortunately, it was comfortable because there were no men bothering me, but now I was regretting that choice.

– Run away!

– The security guards are breaking through?!

“… Tsk.”

If I had gone home as quickly as possible, I wouldn’t have gotten involved in this.

Ellis escaped outside the party hall while hearing the screams of the fleeing cadets.

Actually, it’s not that big of a problem.

Of course, it is a problem in itself for such a terrorist attack to occur at the Academy, but since the pandemic is reaching out across the world, it should almost be viewed as a natural disaster.

Moreover, it is only a matter of time before that terrorist attack is prevented.

The moment the academy’s professors join the battle, the tide will turn.

But that made me even less understandable.

‘Why are you acting so stupid?’

It’s true that Pandemics are idiots, but they’re not power wasters.

It is a terrorist group that is feared all over the world. It doesn’t just go out.

So, when she heard that they had come through from the front, Ellis was quite nervous.

This is because I thought I had brought in a huge amount of power.

‘… I’ll take care of it.’

In fact, whatever happens, it has nothing to do with Ellis.

She just wanted to rest quickly.

I wanted to get out of this fucking party.

While walking like that, she found something.

An innocent beauty with platinum-blonde hair who is confronting Mine.

It was the student council president, Moon Su-rin.

“… ha.”

Is it Mine again?

Actually, I didn’t really want to meet Su-rin Moon.

It was clear that that strange woman was keeping a check on herself and Lee Ho-yeon.

Moon Su-rin would be able to deal with the demons that escaped the siege anyway by herself, so Ellis tried to quietly leave.

‘… uh?’

However, Ellis was startled by the demon’s magic that she immediately felt and turned her head.

The mere sight of magic wafting from a distance gave me goosebumps.

It’s obvious even without measuring it.

Moon Su-rin can never handle that opponent.

Even if two people joined forces, they would not be able to win.

He was such a dangerous opponent.

“… under.”

Ellis found it absurd that he could even think about making a profit in his head in this situation, but the calculation was already done.

Some time has already passed since the terrorist attack occurred. The professors will arrive soon.

It is possible to endure in the meantime.

In my opinion, 10 minutes at most.

By holding out for 10 minutes, you can put your life in debt to the student council president of Victoria Academy.

The risk was great, but the return was even greater.

“Tsk.”

Ellis aroused her magical power and approached Moon Su-rin.

Although she didn’t feel like it, Ellis didn’t care about her personal feelings.

“father…!”

‘…?!’

Ellis, who was running, couldn’t believe her ears when she heard Moon Su-rin’s words.

father?

Are you a father to Mine?

Munsu-rin, who generates magical power, and Majin, who has begun to summon something from his back.

The two continued their conversation while violently scattering their magical energy.

“Please, don’t do this, Dad. You weren’t like this. The dad I remember wasn’t like this.”

“Surin, trust your father. This is all for you.”

“father….”

Moon Su-rin continued speaking with a pitiful expression and a desperate voice.

Even though I resented his actions, I didn’t want to fight with my father. It’s been 10 years since we last saw each other, and I didn’t want to waste time fighting like this. I wanted to talk leisurely, and I wanted to tell him to take care of his grandfather and himself rather than revenge.

But my father created a magic spell in himself.

It seemed like they were really planning on kidnapping him after defeating him.

‘Why, why did this happen?’

I don’t know when it started to go wrong, but Moon Su-rin had no choice but to take a defensive stance.

And Ellis, who was looking at it, thought.

‘Can I join in?’

If someone who doesn’t know you sees you, they’ll think you have a romantic relationship with Mine.

However, after seeing Mine generate strong magical power, Ellis stopped worrying.

“First of all… I have to help.”

Ellis quickly narrowed the distance and stood next to Moon Su-rin, who was still muttering.

He was so nervous that he didn’t even notice that he had arrived next to him.

“Chairman. Do you need help?”

“Eh, Ellis?”

It was only after Ellis spoke that Su-rin Moon looked to the side in surprise.

“I don’t know what the relationship between the two is, but… the man in front of me looks like a demon.”

Ellis held her sword in front of her as if she didn’t care about the conversation so far.

It meant to stop thinking about random things and focus on the person in front of you.

“Do you need help? Just tell me that.”

Moon Su-rin also came to her senses as Ellis continued speaking.

My father is not in a state of communication right now.

Don’t be swayed by emotions and look at reality.

Wood clatter-

The magic power coming from my father… in front of me was shaking the ground.

The force you feel is about twice your own.

The difference in power is clear, but I guess I should at least try to rebel.

Moon Surin also knew that reinforcements would arrive soon.

Su-rin Moon stood next to Ellis with a bitter heart.

“…Please, Ellis.”

“Yes, I understand. … Try to hold on as long as you can.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

Moon Su-rin looked straight ahead, grateful that the person she had pushed away, thinking she was a competitor, had reached out first.
