Chapter Index

    Victoria Academy is basically a place that trains talented people.

    Most cadets are in combat positions, but combat positions do not require written classes.

    In particular, Dungeon Studies and Modern Hunter Studies were still important classes even though the proportion of practical classes increased because they taught things that would be useful in the field.

    “It’s already been a few weeks since the Black Pillar appeared. The research hasn’t progressed enough to include it in the curriculum yet… but it can’t be left out in modern hunter studies classes, right?”

    Dr. Hyorin Kang, who teaches the modern hunter studies class, looked at the cadets with a smile.

    In Class A, the modern hunter studies class was in full swing.

    I hate having classes as soon as the vacation ends. I hate it as a professor, but I wonder how much the cadets hate it.

    That emotion was also evident on the faces of the cadets taking the class.

    In particular, Lee Ho-yeon, who was sitting between two pretty cadets, was clearly showing that he was bored.

    Kang Hyo-rin spoke to Lee Ho-yeon, who had a bored expression.

    “Shall Student Ho Lee tell us about the black pillar that recently appeared? If you are Student Ho Lee, you also understand the research on the black pillar, right? Do you know anything about Professor Rental’s paper on the relationship between dungeons and the black pillar?”

    “…Yes, I know the related paper. Shall I present it?”

    “Um, no. I was just wondering if you knew. Let’s all emulate Student Lee Ho’s will to research.”

    Clap clap.

    Kang Hyo-rin nodded and clapped at Lee Ho-yeon’s answer.

    Although the other cadets did not fully understand the situation, they clapped along with the atmosphere.

    Kang Hyo-rin, with a satisfied smile, looked at Lee Ho-yeon’s expression.

    Although he was still annoyed, he was clearly happy on the inside.

    I know very well that Lee Ho-yeon travels around with Team 1 leader to research the black pillar.

    Of course you are familiar with papers like this.

    ‘Irene is in contact with Lee Ho-yeon underwater.’

    There is no way Irene, the leader of Team 1 in the world, would contact Lee Ho-yeon for no reason.

    Unless he’s going on a date with Hoyeon, he’s definitely aiming to get recruited into the guild.

    Since Ho-yeon Lee is interested in him, he must be receiving Irene’s favor.

    ‘When Lee Ho-yeon comes to Iris Guild… Will you join the Korean branch?’

    Hyorin also knows that his girlfriends are in Korea.

    Rather than going to the headquarters in France, Ho-ryeon Lee probably wants to stay in Korea. There is a high possibility that he will come to the Korean branch.

    In this way, social life is about building up favor with future juniors in advance.

    Kang Hyo-rin glanced at the clapping cadets.

    Look at the eyes of the other cadets who are looking up to Hoyeon Lee because of his praise.

    I know very well how a college cadet of that age feels.

    Even if you look embarrassed on the outside, of course you feel happy.

    Kang Hyo-rin continued her classes, satisfied with her social life.

    ‘Why is that person looking at me like that?’

    Lee Ho-yeon frowned and looked at Kang Hyo-rin’s back.

    It makes me feel bad to see him smiling at me from time to time.

    It’s annoying to get attention by praising it unnecessarily, so why do you keep looking at it?

    ‘… No, that’s possible. Let’s think more positively.’

    Hoyeon Lee shook her head.

    Because I’m so busy these days, I may be looking at the world too negatively.

    That person was strange to begin with.

    Since we just knew each other, I probably acted without much thought.

    Crumbling.

    Ho-yeon Lee scribbled something in her notebook while looking at the back of Kang Hyo-rin, who had entered class again.

    -Emotion control… .

    These days, Lee Ho-yeon was doubting herself.

    I had no doubts about my own abilities, but I may have doubts about my ability to control my emotions.

    ‘… ‘I’m not that good at acting.’

    All women agree that their emotions are revealed in their facial expressions.

    No matter how much I think about it, it’s not that bad.

    “Lee Ho-yeon. What are you thinking like that?”

    “Huh? Oh, I was thinking about my thesis.”

    “I’m lying. You had a sad face? Did you even think about that sad movie I mentioned earlier?”

    “…That’s true.”

    “How can I be first if I don’t go to class every day? It’s not fair.”

    Lucy stuck out her lips and twirled her pencil.

    Lee Ho-yeon, seeing that reaction, kept his mouth shut and thought about it.

    ‘… I got caught again.’

    Plan for an upcoming fake dungeon.

    Almost all the details of the plan have been worked out.

    First, they create a huge dungeon that kidnaps everyone in the academy.

    Inside the dungeon, magical power cannot be used smoothly due to the influence of the black pillar.

    However, the magic circle that makes up the dungeon belongs to Lee Ho-yeon.

    Therefore, Hoyeon Lee can use the magic power of the dungeon to some extent.

    A dramatic situation created by that difference.

    The best thing is to save the heroines through Ho-yeon Lee’s sacrifice. Or to save the kidnapped heroines.

    ‘It would be better if I sacrificed myself, right?’

    I thought it would be a good situation to create an enemy who was too strong to oppose, and for Lee Ho-yeon to sacrifice himself to save the heroines.

    The exact details will be decided after seeing the atmosphere inside the dungeon… Right now, that was the most likely possibility.

    ‘There’s nothing more ridiculous than making something and then getting caught with the look on your face.’

    There is nothing more absurd than making such a plan and then having strange emotions revealed through facial expressions.

    Lee Ho-yeon didn’t want to be caught like that.

    ‘Should I hide my expression with magic? But I don’t want to waste my magic power… Or, should I at least learn the assassin’s poker face from Scarlett?’

    The magic circle was perfect, so I didn’t want to miss such a small place.

    little bit more.

    It would be nice if it was just a little bit more stable… .

    “uh?”

    The time when Lee Ho-yeon felt regretful.

    Suddenly I started feeling pain in my chest.

    Lee Ho-yeon, who covered his chest in pain that made him wince, looked down at his brightly shining heart.

    ‘… What is it? Why now… .’

    —————

    [Emotion Amplification]

    It uses the surrounding magic power to provide sensory stimulation and amplify the emotions of the target within the range.

    It can be applied to all living things except the user.

    However, it can only amplify the original emotions and can only be used on negative emotions.

    —————-

    Before Hoyeon Lee could understand the situation, a message window appeared in front of her.

    “…what.”

    “Hoyeon, why are you doing this?”

    “Not now….”

    Lee Ho-yeon looked into Rumi’s bright eyes and kept her mouth shut.

    Light was still leaking from his chest.

    Seeing that there is no interest in this light, it would be correct to think that only you can see it.

    ‘… gift?’

    Ho-yeon Lee suddenly remembered the gift the god of betting had given him.

    A gift he gave to his heart.

    It’s been quite a while since I received it, but there has been no information until now.

    Is this the gift?

    ‘Why did it come out now?’

    When I was home alone, no matter how much magic I put into it, it wouldn’t come out, and it came out during class.

    Hoyeon Lee asked for understanding from Rumi, who tilted her head, and then read the message in front of her.

    Amplifying emotions with magical power… What is this sound?

    ‘It’s a bit awkward to experiment right now… Let’s experiment later.’

    Since I received it, I’ll have to use it.

    Hoyeon Lee skipped through class and waited for time to pass.

    *

    “How nice would it be if you gave it to me a little bit when you give it to me?”

    After class is over.

    Lee Ho-yeon, who was walking to Lim Sol’s lab, pressed her chest and made an uncomfortable expression.

    A gift from the God of Betting [Emotion Amplification]

    I walked around the academy and experimented with it in many ways, but I couldn’t really feel anything.

    There may be no point in amplifying only negative emotions in the first place.

    I wish there was at least a fighting couple… .

    ‘No, that’s not right. It amplifies negative emotions.’

    It’s not that I don’t understand the God of Betting’s position.

    What Lee Ho-yeon is doing is a bet with the god of this world, [Sex Academy]. As a mediator, he couldn’t have given a gift that would destroy fairness.

    Giving a gift like this is itself showing convenience.

    “…I understand, but then at least give me an instruction manual.”

    Hoyeon Lee complained and entered the magic hall.

    When I came on vacation, there were hardly any people, but perhaps because it was the start of school, there were quite a few people inside the building.

    Lee Ho-yeon passed through the familiar lobby and boarded the elevator.

    There was no particular reason why I came to see Professor Lim Sol.

    If I really think about it, I want to ask about actual sparring.

    But it wasn’t that important. I just came to see his face.

    “Shall we use emotional amplification on Sol?”

    It didn’t have much effect on passers-by, but it would be easy to see the effect if it was just the two of us.

    Moreover, it can directly induce emotions.

    “I’ll have to use it on Sol to find out whether he gets caught or not… hmmm, that’s good.”

    Since it is a skill that uses magical power, you should check it in advance.

    Tiring-

    The elevator arrived on the second floor, and Lee Ho-yeon, who entered the lab familiarly, found Im Sol sitting in his seat.

    She was studying magic tools as always.

    “Professor! I’m here!”

    “Yes. I thought you would come, but you really came.”

    As soon as Lee Ho-yeon came in, Im Sol stopped his research and snapped his fingers.

    Coffee cups and kettles flew out of the air and made coffee on their own, and cookies and chocolates were automatically unwrapped and brought to the desk.

    Lee Ho-yeon sat on the reception sofa and was treated by Lim Sol.

    ‘The treatment has gotten better.’

    Originally, he didn’t stop researching even when he came, but now he sits on the reception sofa without having to say anything.

    It’s natural to feel good.

    ★Heroine status window

    [Imsol]

    -[Likeability: 99]

    -[Sex Drive: 70]

    -[Appetite: 33]

    -[Fatigue: 40]

    Current status: Judging from the fact that he has been coming to the lab since the first day, he is indeed my student.

    Hoyeon Lee looked at Imsol’s status window and nodded.

    The favorability rating was still at 99, but the affection was clearly felt when looking at the condition.

    The moment I completely beat Aimesol, the remaining 1 will rise.

    “I just came because I wanted to see Sol-niona, is it okay?”

    “Of course. It’s always been like that.”

    Hoyeon Lee thought as she watched Imsol eating chocolate in front of her.

    It’s good to use emotional amplification on Imsol, but the question is how to use it.

    This skill only amplifies negative emotions, so Rai Ho-yeon must create the situation himself.

    In addition, the effectiveness and stealth of that ability must be confirmed.

    Still, Imsol is a good opponent to test. Even if you get caught, you can just pretend it’s a new magic.

    Imsol, who is sincere about magic, will generously forgive you.

    “…Sol-nio. Do you know what 20% of Victoria Farm’s income is? The answer is quail eggs. The reason is 20% of sales.”

    Lee Ho-yeon said nonsense like always and watched Lim Sol’s reaction.

    If it’s a normal job, it’s definitely… .

    “By the way, did you see the black pillar?”

    “Uh, yes, I saw it.”

    “I went there myself, and it was actually incredibly difficult to move magic power. I wonder if I might get different results if I study magic there… Would you like to try it later?”

    Imsol smiled as always and ate the chocolate.

    He ignored Lee Ho-yeon’s joke and continued with what he had to say, but surprisingly, this was the same reaction as usual.

    This time, let’s try emotional amplification.

    Lee Ho-yeon moved the magical energy around him.

    “Noona Sol. Do you know what happens when an owl falls into the water? The answer is chubby owl chubby owl.”

    Lee Ho-yeon amplified the negative emotions by throwing a joke.

    But this gag was funny even to me, so is it effective?

    “Hoyeon, what did you say just now?”

    “yes?”

    However, contrary to Lee Ho-yeon’s thoughts, Game Sol’s expression immediately frowned.
