I like animals.

I especially love cute animals.

But as of today.

I thought I would hate rabbits.

“What are you doing? Come out quickly and introduce yourself. Carrot.”

Because of that damn rabbit.

Because it was the first time I introduced myself.

What kind of self-introduction are you talking about out of the blue?

It was the time I hated the most.

‘ha. We’re in big trouble…’

You can’t ignore the professor’s words.

First, I slowly walked towards the front of the classroom.

That brief moment.

A thousand thoughts crossed my mind.

Pretend something urgent happened.

Should I run out the back door?

Or should I just jump out the window?

‘······.’

I put all nonsensical delusions on hold.

Let’s think realistically.

As I walked, I thought countless times.

How to overcome this situation.

A normal self-introduction is not allowed.

I’m sure he’s nervous and stutters.

I didn’t want to be labeled as an idiot from day one.

‘ah.’

At that moment, a breakthrough appeared.

I thought of a way to introduce myself without speaking.

‘···That’s the only way now. The image may get worse, but it’s okay because it doesn’t have to be a crappy image.’

I calmed down and calmed my mind.

I calmed down my irregular breathing.

Time, which had been flowing slowly, accelerated again, and before I knew it, I had arrived in front of the teacher’s table.

“I look forward to your wonderful self-introduction, Carrot.”

Professor Santoto looks at me while munching on a carrot.

I felt resentful until just now.

But I changed my mind.

It’s not like the professor had any malicious intent.

I just pointed it out because it caught my eye.

also.

Everyone is going to have to introduce themselves anyway.

Although it is burdensome to be the first batter.

After completing the introduction, I was able to feel at ease faster than anyone else.

This means you don’t have to worry about waiting for your turn.

‘okay. It worked out better. ‘Because it’s better to get hit first.’

While everyone’s attention is focused.

I turned around and picked up the chalk on the blackboard frame.

“Carrot?”

and.

Crack. Crack.

「Kang Ha-hwi」

I wrote my name in large letters on the blackboard.

Afterwards, put down the chalk.

I turned around again and backed away.

I thought about putting my hands in my pockets, but I was afraid that would look too arrogant, so I decided against it.

The gaze is straight ahead.

I didn’t make eye contact with anyone.

“Carrot···.”

Jump up.

Professor Santoto jumped and climbed onto the lecture table.

The professor asked, looking back and forth between the blackboard and me.

“Is this really the end of your self-introduction?”

Do not give long answers.

You will chew your tongue, stutter, and become slurred.

So I answered very briefly and bluntly.

“Yes.”

The tone of my voice was also deliberately lowered.

I heard that High Tone looks easy.

“Carrot···. Other than your name, is there anything else you can tell us about yourself?”

“Yes.”

Why are there all these crazy people?

The professor has that kind of look in his eyes.

“···Okay, carrot. He’s as quiet as he looks.”

The professor didn’t question it further.

I was a little worried, but I’m glad I did.

It seemed like I had somehow overcome this difficulty.

“Wow. You’re so charismatic.”

“So cool…”

“Isn’t that just cheesy?”

“If an ugly kid looked like that, he would be rude, but he is cool because he is handsome.”

Surprisingly.

The students’ reactions were not bad either.

As expected, this was the correct answer.

Of course, you will have a cheeky image.

Still, it doesn’t matter.

Because I didn’t get caught being a fool.

That alone is satisfying.

“Then take a seat, Carrot.”

“Yes.”

To offset the cocky feeling.

I bowed politely to the professor.

And then I scanned the remaining seats again.

‘Since I’ve already moved to the front, should I just sit in the front seat?’

That’s when I was thinking that.

“Sorry!”

“Sorry for being late!”

“Ah. There are only seats left in the front.”

“Is there one in the back?”

“It’s a bit like that.”

Students who arrived late filled all the seats in front.

‘······.’

In the end, there is only one seat left.

There was only one seat in the back, near the window.

***

I sat behind the window and looked forward.

The professor said.

There are no classes today.

They say they will have time to get closer to each other.

The current self-introduction was also part of that.

“Hello! My name is Minji Cha! Let’s get along well from now on!”

A female student greets you energetically.

Just by looking at him, he is a very sociable person.

“My name is La Yuhee. Please take care of me.”

Wiggle your fingers.

A female student introduces herself shyly.

“You can tell my name by looking at my nametag.”

Chewing chewy gum.

A delinquent female student who messes around with her hands in her pockets.

“Nice to meet you. It is called Jang Moo-geon. I am from China.”

A male student bowing politely.

The bear-like body and grim face are impressive.

“Isabella Chambers. I’m from England.”

A female student greets you stiffly.

Despite his cold expression, his attitude is polite.

Was it my influence as it was the first order?

Most students gave brief introductions.

I guess this is why the first time is so important.

and.

Although the female students all had different personalities, they had one thing in common.

That is, it is incredibly pretty.

There is not a single person who is deviant.

As expected, it was a beautiful girl world view.

‘I understand that men in this world don’t pay attention to women’s appearances.’

For men.

I don’t think a woman’s appearance is important.

The most important thing to consider is personality.

Next, they say they value wealth and ability.

Of course, that doesn’t mean we don’t look at appearances at all.

I also look at the face and body.

Because no one has tastes.

Just to add.

Women also look at a man’s personality, abilities, and wealth in the same way.

But unlike men.

I heard that the appearance of the opposite sex is also important.

sometimes.

Although it is said that there are some women who do not attach importance to their faces… Some say that she is just a realistic woman who has lowered her gaze because all men are herbivorous.

anyway.

Like other men, I also seemed to prioritize personality.

It’s hard to like someone just by looking at their face.

Then you will like all the women in the world.

Because I was lost in idle thoughts.

The final turn has arrived.

“Ah, hello…! My, my name is…”

A female student who stutters severely.

His face was very red, probably because he was very nervous.

If I had spoken for a long time, it would have been exactly like that.

I imagined myself like that.

It’s pretty ugly.

But that girl was not ugly at all.

A pretty girl just looked cute like that.

***

After self-introduction.

Communication time to get to know each other continued.

“Come on, quickly put up a desk! Carrot!”

The class size is 60 people.

We divided the group into 10 groups.

Six people sat together at a desk.

This isn’t even an elementary school. What are they doing?

For reference, out of 60 people, only 3 are men.

In a way, it was a natural sex ratio.

Because there are very few men who possess mysteries.

‘I’m glad though. ‘There’s one guy in our group.’

Two men.

Four women.

This is the composition of the group I belong to.

The name of the male student in the same group is Jang Moo-geon.

Before changing the desk position.

It was a student sitting in front of me.

Over there, far away.

A male student with tattoos covering his body is alone and surrounded by women.

Poor guy.

If I were in that situation…

Just imagining it was truly dizzying.

Shaking my head.

I took my gaze away from the guy.

At that time, Jang Mu-geon greeted me and shook my hand.

“You said Kang Ha-hwi, right? Please take care of me in the future.”

A rugged appearance that creates an intimidating atmosphere.

I almost recoiled a little because I was scared.

“Yes, me too.”

First of all, I received a handshake.

The words were spoken at quite a length.

It’s easy to talk to men.

If you want to.

It is also possible to talk like a chatterbox.

Because I’m not a social misfit.

However, we decided to avoid long conversations.

There was nothing I could do since I had caught on to the reticent concept.

When I was saying hello to Jang Moo-geon like that.

“Over there… Professor?”

A female student in our group raised her hand.

Professor Santoto shifted his gaze this way and tilted his head.

“Carrot?”

“Once we’ve gathered and sat down, what can we talk about now?”

“Why are you asking me that? You decide the topic yourself.”

The professor answered while chewing on a carrot.

I don’t know where the carrots keep coming from.

The female student who asked the question shyly lowered her hand.

And with an awkward smile.

He looked around at our group members and said.

“Uh, um… They say we can talk on our own, but first, shall we introduce ourselves again?”

It wasn’t good.

Crisis has arrived again.

No, why bother repeating past difficulties?

With my eyes fixed on the desk.

At that time, I was sweating profusely.

“What are you doing again?”

A savior has appeared.

During the self-introduction session, she was a delinquent female student who said her name was on her nametag.

“Huh? It would be a good idea to memorize each other’s names and introduce yourself again.”

“Is the name tag a decoration? Just look at the name written on the nametag and memorize it.”

my savior

I glanced sideways at the name tag of the delinquent female student.

The words ‘Seo Yi-eung’ were visible.

‘The name is a bit unique.’

In that short period of time.

Did he even notice my gaze?

Thing!

Seo Yi-eung turned his head and glared at me with harsh eyes.

Wow. Be scared…

One look in his eyes was cruel.

It was like the eyes of a wild beast.

I cleared my throat and naturally looked away.

Of course, he didn’t show any signs of being scared.

‘I should avoid getting involved with him as much as possible.’

It’s pretty though.

Looks like he’s prone to harassing people.

I felt like the women who harassed me in my past life.

Never get caught up and avoid it.

After Seo Yi-eung took his gaze away from me.

He looked at the female student again and continued speaking.

“Anyway, don’t make me repeat something that bothered me, and if you’re going to talk, do it on a different topic.”

“Other topics? Umm… So, shall we introduce what kind of magic we can handle or what kind of magic we are confident in? Introducing what mysteries men possess.”

“That’s not bad.”

It was bad.

I hated that too.

Can’t our group just say nothing and play individually?

Unfortunately.

My little wish did not come true.

The female students each began to introduce their own magic.

Lightning magic.

Healing magic.

Shield magic.

The first three people finished their brief introductions.

“I can only use magic that transforms me into an animal.”

One after another, Seo Yi-eung.

“My mystery is body strengthening.”

Even Jang Moo-geon finished his introduction.

The explanation wasn’t as long-winded as I thought.

It was a blessing in disguise.

I thought it was a detailed explanation of abilities.

‘It’s no problem to give a short answer.’

My turn is coming.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on me.

First, I crossed my arms.

If you just look down at your desk, it looks out of shape, so make sure you have some posture.

“Ha-hwi. What is your mystery?”

The female student leading the conversation asked.

I answered without hesitation.

“Transformation.”

“Asshole? Why are you swearing all of a sudden?”

“······.”

“Ah… Since your expression was dark earlier, I tried to make a joke, but I’m sorry if it wasn’t funny… Anyway, Ha Hwi’s mystery is transformation, right?”

I nodded.

My mystery is an asshole.

No, transformation.

It was the ability to become a race called angels for a certain period of time.
