“I heard the news.”

Darcy said, squatting lightly in his seat.

A voice with a faint smile, different from usual.

In her hand, instead of her usual cigarette, she was holding a plastic water bottle. She tilted it and poured out the water inside as if she were watering a flower pot.

“You said you did it really coolly in the summoning class yesterday?”

As Darcy spoke with a smile, her brown hair with a faint red tint swayed slightly.

Was that what bothered you?

Darcy frowned slightly and lightly arranged them with his fingertips.

Looking at her like that, Do Yu-jin felt very amazed.

‘It’s obvious that the word gentle should come to mind first, but why does the word cold come to mind first?’

Why is that really the case?

Is it because she knows that just a moment ago, she was treating the other students like rats under the pretext of physical training?

Or maybe it was because she was watching him right now with those sharp blue eyes of a hunter, as if she were looking at a clumsy brat.

“Huh? Aren’t you going to answer?”

Well, maybe it was because the cool water that kept falling on the center of my forehead was cooling my head.

“I have no strength left in my body, so it’s hard to speak.”

Even though Do Yu-jin had such thoughts, she didn’t try to avoid the water stream.

The first reason was that I had been running around like crazy avoiding balls coming from all over the place just a moment ago, so I didn’t have the strength to move a single finger, but that wasn’t the only reason.

‘It’s refreshing.’

This was something that Do Yu-jin didn’t know, but the feeling of the cool water washing away the sweat and fatigue when she was close to exhaustion was quite addictive.

“Anyway, instead of learning how to use your body, you only learn how to use tricks… … ”

Darcy grumbled.

Do Yu-jin didn’t think much of it even though he saw her like that.

He grumbles that he is having a hard time and clicks his tongue saying that she has no tenacity.

I knew very well from my experience that these two were just icebreakers before starting a full-fledged conversation.

“The situation is already noisy because of the Stella Class and all, so you’re adding fuel to the fire. Did you want to stand out that much?”

“I don’t really have that kind of desire.”

“How dare you say such things when you’re causing such a fuss.”

After yesterday’s sparring, Do Yu-jin instantly emerged as a popular star in the circle.

Even without that, the bomb called Stella Class was exploding loudly all over the circle.

In that situation, Do Yu-jin suddenly came up with the name of ‘Unknown Stella Class, whose identity has not been revealed’ and suppressed the challenger with overwhelming power that could easily suppress even the active superhuman party.

In other words, it would be strange if the rumor did not spread!

Sook-

“Why did that guy who doesn’t want to stand out spar yesterday?”

Darcy put an energy bar in Do Yu-jin’s mouth and asked.

Well well-

Snap-!

“Speak quickly before I shove that long thing down your throat.”

“I always think about this, but aren’t you being too harsh with your words to the patient?”

“What do you mean? If you were going to ask about something like that, you shouldn’t have asked me for help.”

Darcy snorted.

It was just a comment that said if you don’t want to get shot, you should dodge it, but surprisingly, in the circle, that was the right answer.

In fact, that is exactly the reason why so many students try to find the right answer by studying on their own without going to a professor.

“Okay, stop beating around the bush and tell me quickly. Why did you have that sparring session yesterday?”

Hmm-

‘What should I do? This isn’t an atmosphere where excuses can be accepted.’

Do Yu-jin never avoided avoiding public opinion unless something really went wrong.

Thanks to that, we naturally had a lot of conversations like this, and through that, she also got to know Do Yu-jin as a person to some extent.

So, to put it simply.

“If you didn’t want it, you could have avoided that level of sparring in the first place.”

Darcy already knew that Do Yu-jin didn’t like to stand out and that was why she used her powers to kill her own presence.

“It’s complicated, so to speak.”

Do Yu-jin glanced somewhere towards the ceiling.

By the way, Darcy was also a character worthy of being called a main character.

That’s why I avoided answering… … but honestly, right now, it’s more because I simply don’t feel like explaining.

-You’re not hurt anywhere, are you?

-If there was a fight, you should have called me! What kind of arrogant thoughts are you having as a sloppy dad!

-You’re saying you called another guy while leaving your sister and this body behind? I’m disappointed in you for cheating so blatantly, Dad.

I came home yesterday after being harassed by the three of us because of this.

what……

“Tell me, even if it’s complicated.”

Darcy was not a great man who would back down meekly after hearing such complaints.

“As a teacher, I should know at least what you were fighting about.”

Sigh-

‘I need to find a way to solve this, but the problem is that there’s no way. Since the conversation only happens when I’m in a bad mood, I can’t do anything I want to do.’

Do Yu-jin grumbled to herself for a moment and then opened her mouth.

“I got a favor from someone. Fight a student who isn’t from Stella’s class.”

“Who asked you to do this?”

“That’s a secret, so I can’t tell you.”

Do Yu-jin kept her mouth shut because she didn’t know what kind of reaction she would get if she told him that her trading partner was Ellis.

Looking at him like that, Darcy hesitated for a moment and then asked.

“You weren’t threatened or anything, right?”

“Yes, it’s a simple request. I fought because I thought I would gain something from it, and also to test out some of the enlightenment I gained in Japan this time.”

“Tsk, that’s fine.”

Darcy clicked his tongue lightly and backed away obediently.

Do Yu-jin looked at her with strange eyes.

‘Were you worried about me?’

It wasn’t completely nonsense.

Most people don’t know that he looks like a cold, ruthless wolf on the outside, but Darcy actually has a very warm personality towards his people.

‘Actually, even now, out of consideration for me, they haven’t asked me what happened in Japan or how I got into Stella Class.’

Do Yu-jin, who was thinking about that, said quietly.

“Are you curious? About what happened in Japan and how I got into the Stella class.”

“Huh? Well, I’m curious if I have to, but I’m not curious enough to want to hear it… … ”

“Then I won’t say anything.”

Stop!

Darcy’s eyes, looking at the fallen Do Yu-jin, instantly lowered by 100 degrees Celsius.

It was as cold as ice.

Do Yu-jin felt satisfied as she looked at Darcy’s expression.

‘It’s easier to maintain distance when you’re a little hated than when you’re just becoming friendly.’

While Do Yu-jin was laughing inside, Darcy said.

“Starting tomorrow, the training difficulty will go up one level.”

“Yes?”

Do Yu-jin said in embarrassment.

“It’s so sudden.”

“Be quiet. If I tell you to do it, you do it.”

Darcy, who had finished the one-sided sentence like that, turned his head and pouted without showing it, then placed water, potions, and energy bars on Do Yu-jin’s bedside and got up.

“Then I’ll go now. When you regain some stamina, drink the potion and then go eat something.”

“You said that you shouldn’t take potions because they only interfere with building muscle, right?”

“That’s a wound recovery potion, and what I gave you just now is a muscle recovery potion, so there’s no problem.”

Do Yu-jin opened her eyes slightly wide after hearing Darcy’s words.

A muscle recovery potion, this was famous for its ability to help you see great results by making torn muscle tissue stronger and tighter when consumed after training.

Simply put, it’s a super effective protein!

‘But I thought it was even more expensive than the already expensive potions and was distributed almost exclusively to nobles, so you’re giving me this?’

Glance-

“Uh… …Thank you.”

“Okay. And you didn’t drink a lot of potions in Japan, right? Both the ones for healing wounds and the ones for restoring magic power have serious side effects, so drink them in moderation. Don’t forget to think calmly, even if it’s a dangerous situation.”

“Yes, I know.”

Do Yu-jin nodded her head appropriately, as it was something she had already experienced once.

For reference, the future version of the potion in the [shop] was really expensive, but it had fewer side effects.

Well, it didn’t really have anything to do with Do Yu-jin.

Stop-

“I congratulate you on your achievements in Japan, but you are still weak. So don’t make a fuss and just stay quiet.”

Darcy paused in front of the door for a moment, then left after saying those words.

Words that can be hurtful to some people.

‘That’s definitely true.’

But Do Yu-jin simply nodded her head obediently with a calm attitude.

Do Yu-jin’s heart was neither delicate nor weak enough to be hurt by words like that.

‘The problem is that I’m not in a position to just sit still right now.’

Do Yu-jin closed her eyes and quietly shook her head.

‘I don’t know if this makes you a genius, but I guess I’ve at least earned the title of a genius in summoning magic? And alchemy has already made its presence felt from the first week.’

The bare minimum of puzzle pieces has been put together.

So what had to be done from now on was clear.

Shhh-

‘It’s going to be hard to level up or get new traits for the time being because the level has gone up so much, but that doesn’t mean there’s no way to grow.’

Do Yu-jin glanced at the white potion next to her as she thought about the outline of the plan in her head.

‘By the way… I didn’t notice because I was only thinking about adapting to this body, but I think I may have pushed it out a little late.’

Do Yu-jin lightly scratched her cheek while thinking of Darcy.
