The day a new semester starts.

The cadets returned to the academy feeling sad about the end of their vacation, and they chatted with each other for the first time in a long time, giving off a lively atmosphere.

The same goes for Lee Ho-yeon’s house.

Lee Ho-yeon and Nam Da-eun, who were going to the academy, prepared to leave.

“Everyone is going to work. If only Scout goes to work, this house is mine now. I will make a broadcast introducing the house!”

“There’s Rebecca.”

“Oh, that’s right. Why is Rebecca still unemployed?”

“…what if you ask me that?”

Hoyeon Lee got dressed while talking with Liliana.

It’s been a while since I wore a cadet uniform.

There wasn’t a single wrinkle thanks to it being hung on a magic hanger that took care of itself.

Hoyeon Lee spoke to Liliana to defend Rebecca.

“Rebecca, you will soon do something. You won’t be unemployed forever.”

“If you are Rebecca, you are still working in your room.”

“What? Really?”

“Yes. I don’t know exactly what’s going on, but it seems like he’s making quite a bit of money.”

Hoyeon Lee was secretly surprised by Scarlett’s words.

I thought he was an unemployed person hanging out in his room, but he wasn’t?

‘… If you think about it, you said you had quite a lot of money even during the pandemic.’

I have a lot of connections and a lot of money.

Wouldn’t it be natural for Rebecca to have a source of income?

… In fact, if you do something like pregnancy exercises every morning, it’s bound to be misunderstood.

“I neglected Rebecca too much.”

“Rebecca is so kind. She always takes good care of Dahee.”

“Of course.”

For some reason, even though the magic circle research was completed, I said I couldn’t see it, so it seems like it was working.

After getting ready, Ho-yeon Lee went out of the house with Da-eun Nam waiting for her.

“Have a nice trip~.”

“I hope you don’t get hurt and go carefully.”

Liliana and Scarlett followed them to the front door and saw them off, and Lee Ho-yeon, who left the mansion, smiled shyly and spoke to Nam Da-eun.

“Why are you even sending me off?”

“Still, I can feel their feelings. Rebecca didn’t come out either, but she said congratulations.”

“… So I’m not sure about that.”

Is the start of school something to celebrate?

Hoyeon Lee still didn’t understand what he was being celebrated for.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve been on the road.”

“I know.”

“It would have been nice if Dahee went with us too.”

“Didn’t you say that minors are delaying going to school just in case?”

“huh.”

The cause, of course, is the black pillar.

The academy’s cadets are capable of protecting themselves no matter what happens, but there are still many students in the middle and high schools below that are not of the highest standard.

Moreover, stopping the academy is a matter that requires consideration in many ways, so it might be a good measure.

As I walked down the street with Nam Da-eun, I slowly began to see cadets.

Familiar cadets.

These are faces I have seen at least once while attending the academy.

“Can’t you see any familiar faces?”

“that’s right.”

“I wandered around so much during vacation that it felt awkward to go to the academy.”

“I just went shopping.”

Ho-yeon Lee walked down the street talking with Da-eun Nam.

It’s been a while since we walked and talked alone.

The only way to be alone with Nam Da-eun in a house full of people was the bed.

“Hoyeon.”

“huh?”

“Are you having any worries these days?”

“suddenly?”

“Liliana said Hoyeon had a nightmare.”

“… Ah. I was wondering what you meant. No, I just didn’t feel well.”

Ho-yeon Lee clenched his fists.

Like a crazy succubus.

When do you always talk about it when you hug it with maternal love?

I thought it was an angel, but it turned out to be a devil.

I have to get revenge as soon as I get back today.

“… I’m always on Hoenn’s side, so don’t worry.”

“Thank you, Da-eun.”

Nam Da-eun was curious about Lee Ho-yeon’s concerns.

No matter how hard I tried to hide it, it was all evident in his expression, so I couldn’t not notice it.

‘Hoyeon probably has her own thoughts, too.’

Nevertheless, Nam Da-eun did not inquire.

This is because he thought Ho-yeon Lee would tell him directly if he needed help.

Until then, I won’t ask you directly.

[Nam Da-eun]

– [Likeability: 100] (+ 2.1)

– [Sex Drive: 65]

– [Appetite: 30]

– [Fatigue: 35]

Current status: It would be nice if you could tell me… What’s going on?

[When the favorability rating reaches 100, your love for Lee Ho-yeon becomes very strong.]

Ho-yeon Lee felt a bitter feeling as she looked at the side faces of Sang Sang-chang and Nam Da-eun.

Of course I know about Nam Da-eun’s blind love.

She has decided to give everything to Lee Ho-yeon, and it is highly likely that she will allow the woman no matter how much she spends on him.

‘… But we can’t just leave out Nam Da-eun.’

You don’t have to include Rebecca, Scarlett, or Liliana in your plans.

This is because they already know most of Lee Ho-yeon’s situation.

But Nam Da-eun is at the academy together.

‘It’s a bit too much to say that in advance… .”

There may be something wrong with your plan.

The plan is to kidnap the entire academy.

I didn’t want to create an element of anxiety for no reason.

If you don’t handle it perfectly, it’s worse than not doing it at all.

‘… Tsk.’

“We’re all here, Hoyeon.”

“Yeah. See you at lunch.”

After arriving at the academy, I parted ways with Nam Da-eun.

Actually, there is no need to do that now that twins Lucy Rumi and Nam Da-eun have become close friends, but… It was Nam Da-eun’s insistence on breaking up here.

He is worried that something bad might happen to Ho-yeon Lee because of him.

Grumble-

A class I joined after a month.

Hoyeon Lee opened the door and entered the classroom.

The cadets in the noisy classroom turn their heads for a moment, and their eyes widen as soon as they see Ho-yeon Lee.

Lee Ho-yeon, who was originally famous but became even more famous during the vacation, attracted the attention of all the cadets as soon as she entered.

– … hey. Lee Ho-yeon came? He said he was dropping out.

– weird. A guy I know from Iris Guild said he was dropping out and going to Iris Guild.

– I heard that you got a job as Professor Lim Sol’s secretary.

– Eh? Wasn’t she the saint’s assistant?

-You look really handsome. Annoying.

“….”

There are so many nonsense rumors like that that I don’t even care.

The most interesting thing I’ve seen so far was that he received a high salary and went into exile in China.

I remember just laughing because I didn’t know how to react at the time.

“Good morning.”

“Uh, uhm. Hello.”

I felt sorry for remaining indifferent to such attention, so I said hello to one of the cadets I saw often and headed to my seat.

Lucy and Rumi were already seated inside the reserved seats.

I saw it a few days ago, but it feels new to see it at the academy.

‘and… ‘Where’s Ellis?’

I turned my head and checked where Ellis always sat.

I really wanted to see the condition of Ellis, who had ignored my contact for a week.

Irene said it was okay so I wasn’t worried, but you never know.

Ellis was sitting in a seat away from other people and was looking at Hoyeon Lee.

Lee Ho-yeon came closer and smiled and said hello.

“Elise. Good morning.”

“… Yes, bye.”

As expected, I’m not angry.

If he was really angry, Irene would have reacted too.

Is the reason I haven’t heard from you in a week just because I’m upset?

★ Heroine status window

[Ellis]

– [Likeability: 96] (+1.1)

– [Liberty: 80]

– [Appetite: 20]

– [Fatigue: 30]

Current status: If you haven’t heard from me, you should at least come to my house.

“….”

Should it have been that way?

I left her alone because I thought she needed some alone time, but as expected, women’s hearts are very difficult.

“Can I go home today?”

“… tomorrow.”

“okay.”

As Ellis turned her head, Lee Ho-yeon sighed. After finishing his appetite, he left.

But I guess they will accept my contact now.

“Lee Ho-yeon. You came early for the first day?”

“Ho, Mr. Hoyeon…!”

“good morning.”

Hoyeon Lee sat between Lucy and Rumi and said hello.

The Lucirumi twins immediately spoke to Hoyeon Lee.

“I missed you so much.”

“That’s right. How sad I was with Rumi.”

“Didn’t we go on a date a few days ago?”

“Still….”

The Lucy Rumi twins continued to chatter afterward.

hmm.

This familiar atmosphere.

It was a comforting time, but Lee Ho-yeon had other thoughts.

‘I can’t forget the dream.’

A nightmare of Lucy and Rumi leaving Hoyeon Lee with sad expressions came to mind.

A dream is just a dream, but from this close, I couldn’t help but think about it.

I felt this way when I first saw Nam Da-eun and Scarlett at home.

It seemed like the two of them would sell themselves and disappear even now.

‘Status window.’

★ Heroine status window

[Lucy]

– [Likeability: 100] (+ 1.4)

– [Liberty: 70]

– [Appetite: 40]

– [Fatigue: 40]

Current status: It’s good because we’re together. But what is he thinking this morning?

[When you reach 100 likeability, your sex drive increases significantly when Lee Ho-yeon and Rumi are together.]

★ Heroine status window

[Rumi]

– [Likeability: 100] (+ 1.7)

– [Liberty: 87]

– [Appetite: 30]

– [Fatigue: 10]

Current status: Is Hoyeon worried? ?

[When the favorability rating reaches 100, he becomes more active towards Lee Ho-yeon when he is with Lucy.]

‘… ‘How on earth do they notice trouble?’

Seeing the faces and likeability of the two reduced my anxiety a little.

However, it seemed unlikely that Lucy and Rumi would allow another woman.

In the end, I have no choice but to think of a fake dungeon plan.

“By the way, have you seen the pillars of the academy?”

“Yes. I saw it.”

“That’s why there was a lot of talk about whether or not school would start today.”

“It’s important. They say that strange pillar appeared inside the academy. Moreover, they say it’s still small and will become more dangerous if it grows larger.”

“…Yes. That’s right. It’s dangerous. That’s right. Come to think of it, did you see that? A new donut shop.”

“Ah! I saw it.”

Ho-yeon Lee brought up another topic to get over the topic of pillars.

Starting with donuts, cafes and restaurants.

“Now that I think about it, Mr. Hoyeon is that cartoon….”

“Rumi, tell me about a movie I know.”

“Oh, okay. Then let’s go to the movies….”

We moved on to everyday stories like books and games.

As I chatted with twin Lucy Rumi, I felt like the worries I had in my mind were disappearing a little.

Grumble.

“It’s been a while. Everyone looks nice.”

How much were you talking about?

Professor Jinhyuk Kim, with his white hair, entered Class A.

It’s been a while since I saw that professor.

“Did you rest well during the vacation? Now that you’re back at the academy, try to get back into a relaxed state again.”

Professor Jinhyuk Kim continued speaking with a serious expression.

Then he tapped his fingers and manipulated the air.

“I’m sorry from the first day, but I will guide you through the schedule. The academy’s curriculum has changed. The number of practical classes will increase significantly starting this semester.”

A holographic monitor appeared in front of Lee Ho-yeon.

As I watched the schedule for several months, something caught my eye.

‘Professor’s actual sparring?’

There was an item every week called professor real-life sparring.

Just looking at the name, it seems like a class where you spar with the professor.

“As you can see, a class has been created where you can spar with a professor. From now on, every Wednesday, instead of a class, you will have time to spar with the professor as if it were a real game and receive feedback. As it is done in a place where everyone can see, it will be helpful even if it is not your sparring.”

– Oh, so there are no classes on Wednesday?

– I guess so. Isn’t that shit?

It’s more fun to watch others fight than to sit and listen to a class.

Most of the cadets’ reactions were good.

“Everything is organized in the schedule, so please feel free to ask any questions you have. Also, you may be worried about the black pillar that appeared at the academy, but there is little risk. However, the investigation is still ongoing, so please do not go near it. Let alone a headache or mild fever. ego…”

Professor Jinhyuk Kim began explaining the black pillar.

From the risks to the research we are currently doing.

I think the academy probably told me to guide them, but as someone who installed the black pillar myself, it was difficult to listen to.

Hoyeon Lee skimmed over Professor Jinhyeok Kim’s words and looked at the distant mountains.
