“Hmm, are these the kids that I mentioned earlier that I want to transfer to our school?”

“Yes, they are both pretty and kind, right?”

At those words, Ellis stared intently at the two people’s faces.

A face that says, ‘Who are you to dare look at me with such judgmental eyes’ and a face that says, ‘Who are you to dare be in the same room with your father?’

“I don’t know if she’s pretty or kind, but ”

Although Ellis gave Yuna and Yumi such a harsh evaluation, she could not help but admit one thing.

“Still, they both definitely seem talented.”

Do Yu-jin nodded and spoke with a proud expression on her face at the words of the S-class superhuman who could be called one of the strongest in the current world.

“They are both my proud daughters.”

“… … Huh? What did you just say?”

Ellis, who was pondering how to resolve this situation, spoke in a voice that was truly uncommon and full of foolishness.

“Aren’t these two summons? You just summoned them in front of me.”

“That’s right.”

Turuk-

“But somehow I ended up accepting them both as my daughters.”

Do Yu-jin said while patting Yuna and Yumi’s heads.

Ellis, who had been blankly watching the scene, suddenly spoke.

“Ah! I see! That’s the kind of contract you made! Those two asked to experience the father-daughter relationship first, and the student accepted the play… … !”

Words spoken without thinking, driven by one’s instinctive desire for knowledge.

And the reactions of the two people to it.

Kuuung–!!!

“What’s with that guy all of a sudden? It’s annoying.”

“I don’t know what it is, but I know you’re an incredibly rude person.”

It was a level of anger that was impossible to describe with the simple words, “I was angry.”

So the two of them got angry and started growling at each other openly.

“Oh, sorry.”

Ellis said with a sudden realization on her face.

“It’s been so long since I’ve encountered this kind of situation that I couldn’t help but get agitated.”

Ellis said so and lightly drew her finger from left to right.

Okay then.

Shuaaaak-!

The magical power that had been exploding in response to the two people’s anger was cut off and scattered in an instant like a piece of cloth touched by a sword.

“What is it?”

“What… … ?”

The two people who saw that sight forgot how angry they were and were embarrassed.

No matter how much I let my guard down, my magic power was cut off without even the slightest warning?

In other words, if she had only made up her mind a little while ago, both of them could have died without even knowing that they were dying.

When two people are nervous without realizing it.

“Sorry, I apologize again. Sometimes I get carried away and run wild, and I did it again this time.”

Ellis stood up from her seat and bowed her head as she spoke.

“No, it’s okay.”

Do Yu-jin, who saw that sight, said as if it was nothing and pulled the two who were frozen like statues towards him.

“Still, I’m sorry. I don’t think I’m the type to be stuck in a mold, but I never thought there would be a summoner who would make a contract in the form of adoption.”

“Okay. I know my situation is special right now.”

“Whew, I already knew that there are a lot of weirdos among superhumans, but this is how it is. Did you have withdrawal symptoms because you couldn’t do the experiment recently because you were busy?”

“Aren’t you just calling me a weirdo?”

Do Yu-jin said in a calm tone.

Well, he had already expected Ellis to react like this.

‘Perhaps if I had introduced her as my sister instead of my daughter, this wouldn’t have happened.’

Despite knowing him, Do Yu-jin chose to tell him her circumstances honestly, purely because she was worried about Yu-na and Yu-mi.

As Ellis just said, these kids are in a special situation anyway.

But you want to hide the fact that she is your daughter?

Then, it was impossible to predict what the two people would think and what kind of hurt they would feel.

“Anyway, thank you for understanding.”

After saying that, Ellis sat back down and quietly looked at the three of them in turn, pondering something.

“Anyway, it’s amazing. Not only can they transform into human form, but they have such a strong sense of self that they’re the first to show their displeasure to me without the sorcerer saying anything. They’re both incredibly high-ranking… … No, they must be amazing guys?”

“Well, that’s right.”

The skill of taking human form, or more precisely, the skill of transforming into a race like a sorcerer, was considered a fairly advanced skill among summoners.

Even in a circle where all kinds of geniuses gather, the number of summoned creatures that can transform into human form does not exceed 30, so it goes without saying.

‘Well, it’s not like Yuna and Yumi have learned such techniques separately, but it’s more like they are of a higher level and can take human form.’

While Do Yu-jin was thinking like that, Ellis smiled brightly and said.

“By the way, to be honest, I chose it half by feeling, but I never thought I’d have these kids by my side.”

Shhh-

“I guess I have an eye for people?”

“Ahahaha… … ”

Do Yu-jin, who had nothing to say, smiled awkwardly.

“Anyway, what I want is to admit these two into the circle.”

“Hmm, I see that the purpose is to let these two take classes at the circle. Is that right?”

“Yes, they are both very talented, but they still have many shortcomings.”

“That’s right… … ”

Binggeut-

“Okay, then how about doing it like this?”

◎ ◎ ◎

When Do Yu-jin looked at her as if asking what she was going to say, Ellis smiled and explained what she had been thinking.

I was afraid that someone might say I was a wizard, so I spoke at length, but to summarize, it was simple.

It is to provide convenience for Yuna and Yumi so that they can attend classes even without being students.

“What do you think? Isn’t this better than just transferring them as students?”

“It would certainly be much better for me to do that.”

What should not be misunderstood is that Do Yu-jin wanted to enroll Yuna and Yumi in the circle so that they could take classes and grow, not because they needed a diploma or something.

Therefore, Ellis’s suggestion that she could take classes as they are and not be bound by any circles as a student was the best suggestion for Do Yu-jin.

There’s just one thing that bothers me…

“But is that possible?”

Ellis’ answer to this was simple and clear.

“I’m the principal of this school, so who can say anything?”

Ellis said with a playful smile.

“First of all, are those two summons that you made a contract with? Then, there are many ways to use them, so don’t worry.”

Shrug-

“If that doesn’t work, you can create a new system.”

Ellis spoke lightly as if it was nothing, but Do Yu-jin knew very well how absurd what she was saying was.

It wasn’t for nothing that Do Yu-jin chose to deal with Ellis despite the inconvenience and risk.

That’s why there seemed to be no way to get Yuna and Yumi into the circle without using this method.

‘Because the Circle is a place where even children of high-ranking executives of the Superhuman Association cannot enter unless they meet the qualifications.’

But Ellis was saying that she would not only offer them the opportunity to transfer, but would also provide special benefits just for the two of them.

And of course, this was far beyond the level of compensation Do Yu-jin could receive for Ellis’s request that she had just accepted.

Shhh-

“Just because you received compensation in advance, you shouldn’t act like you’re getting a full refund in the future?”

That is, the moment you accept this offer, you will be linked with Ellis, who you were so reluctant to be linked with, in the worst possible way: as a debtor and a repayer.

Sigh-

“Please don’t use me too much.”

Even though she knew him, Do Yu-jin nodded without hesitation after letting out a sigh.

“Huh?”

Ellis, who had been smiling mischievously, looked at the sight and asked back in surprise.

“Unlike a little while ago, you accepted it very obediently. Of course, I thought you would try to avoid my suggestion this time too.”

“Yeah, well. To be honest, I don’t really like the contract… … ”

Toouk-

“This contract is not for me like the last one, but for the kids.”

Do Yu-jin looked at the two below her and snickered.

“If it’s a little difficult for me and they can be comfortable, then I think it’s right to choose that.”

After hearing Do Yu-jin’s words, Ellis looked blank for a moment and then spoke without realizing it.

“You’re a good father, right?”

“I’m just trying to make it happen.”

Ellis chuckled at those words and then asked in a bright voice.

“Oh, come to think of it, I’ve never properly exchanged names with students.”

Ellis got up from her seat and approached Do Yu-jin so close that she felt a little uncomfortable.

And then, without saying anything, he just stared at Do Yu-jin with a faint smile on his face. Do Yu-jin, unable to bear it any longer, reached out her hand first.

“I’m Do Yu-jin, a first-year student at Circle Academy.”

“Yeah, yeah, as you may already know, my name is Ellis Hina Alaina, the principal of Circle Academy.”

Ellis, holding hands, winked lightly and said.

“Then I will ask for your continued support, Eugene?”

With those words, Ellis shook Do Yu-jin’s hand several times as if shaking hands.

“Oh, right. Is there anything you want to ask me? I’m in a good mood right now, so if you speak nicely, I might listen.”

“It’s okay because there’s nothing in particular.”

“Oh, really? It’s a bit embarrassing to say this myself, but if I just put in a little effort, I could achieve almost anything you imagine, right?”

This was not a bluff.

No. Considering the aftermath of Ellis’s appearance, it would be fair to say that it was a somewhat humble statement.

“Yes, that’s okay.”

Nevertheless, Do Yu-jin chose to reject her offer.

Do Yu-jin didn’t have the taste to make the leash around her neck any heavier.

“Hmm, is that so?”

Binggeut-

“Okay, then let’s meet again later and say goodbye for today.”

Ellis, sitting across the desk, lightly crossed her legs and waved her hands.

“I believe that you will do your best to listen to any requests I have made.”

“I will do my best to make the most of what I have received.”

“Yeah, yeah, if you have anything to ask me, come and find me.”

“Okay.”

Do Yu-jin answered like that and left the principal’s office with Yuna and Yumi, who were glaring at Ellis.

Looking at his back, Ellis snickered.

“You’re good at answering. Even though you had no intention of coming.”

Ellis smiled faintly and shook her feet as if splashing water.

“Ah~ What should I do? When I see you drawing the line like that, I feel like I want to cross it and make fun of you.”

Now that I’ve caught Ellis’ eye, it’s impossible not to get involved with her.

That’s why Do Yu-jin tried to limit the part where they got involved to the business side as much as possible and acted quite well for that.

But there was one thing I overlooked.

“It’s amazing. They look completely different from each other in appearance and personality, but I feel so similar to that person.”

It’s easy to forget that Ellis is a human being with many stories and emotions, although her image as a researcher studying magic is so strong.

“When this is over, should I call you back and ask you to have a meal?”

When Ellis was muttering while looking at the place where Do Yu-jin had left.

“This kid! Where did you disappear to again!”

ha-

‘Life is really… … ‘

Do Yu-jin was hiding in the bushes to avoid the scary goblin.
