“That’s right, just one more.”

“Okay… !”

this… , same year as Little Red Riding Hood’s assistant.

“Okay, that’s it for today.”

“Hehe, hehe… .”

It’s been 3 weeks since I was killed by orcs and came back to life.

Shin Yu-jeong rolled me over, not paying attention to the fact that my arm was cracked.

It’s just that I can’t use my arms, so it doesn’t mean I can’t move my legs.

“Come on, go up.”

Unable to resist his urging, I stood up on the scale with my exhausted body.

Fluttering numbers.

The number that stopped while busy coming and going was 99.8.

“Wow!”

As soon as I saw this, I couldn’t help but cheer.

My weight finally came down from three digits to two digits.

Shin Yu-jeong, who was watching the dashboard closely, chuckled and tapped my arm with her elbow.

“Hey, have you grown taller too?”

“really?”

Oh, it’s true.

161.3cm is stamped on the instrument panel.

In fact, in some ways, it was natural growth.

About two weeks ago, I invested most of the magic I had accumulated up to that point and poured it all into the growth plate that had not yet closed.

The most important things for a young man would be his face, height, and lower body size.

I’ve already taken care of the lower part, and since there’s nothing I can do about the face, I’ll pass.

It’s natural to focus on the one remaining height.

It’s only been two weeks, but I’m seeing great results.

“Yeol, bastard. “Do you feel better because you lose some weight?”

I stood on the scale and looked at the mirror in front of me.

It’s true that I still gained weight, but my facial features that were buried under the skin are starting to reveal themselves little by little.

The eyes, which had been suppressed by the flesh sticking to the top and bottom, widened slightly.

Maybe it’s because I’ve lost a little weight on my face, but my nose seems to be a little more prominent.

How can I say it, it feels like I’ve become a cute pig with slitted eyes?

I turned my head and looked at Shin Yu-jeong.

“It’s all thanks to you.”

Even if she wasn’t around, I would have been able to lose weight.

No matter how sincere a person is, there is a big difference between someone paying close attention to him and someone not.

Thanks to him glaring at me, I was able to get it out much faster.

“Hmm! Well, I know.”

I feel embarrassed when I hear people say thank you.

To the extent that one begins to doubt whether it is Shin Yu-jeong who has tormented this body so much in the past.

“Well, if you’re grateful…” , Or at least have a meal. “What are you? I heard you received a lot of compensation from the association last time.”

Wow, this is amazing.

A child whom I had only seen at the gym for the past three weeks asked me to buy him food.

I wonder if I’ve developed a fondness for it by now, or if that’s just another tactic to tame me.

It doesn’t matter either way.

“Sorry, I have somewhere to go today.”

I don’t have time today.

Shin Yu-jeong’s face became pouty.

“… “Where can the bastard in the corner of the room go?”

this.

I can see my mood getting worse in real time.

It seems he is not happy that Jjinta, whom he still thought was far below him, rejected his offer.

But I have a card that will instantly turn his upset mood around.

“Today, the association said they would enroll me in a magic academy.”

“what… ? In the association?”

The association card.

“Uh, didn’t I tell you last time? The association said they would allow me to attend Korean universities starting from the second semester. So he told me to learn basic magic first.”

The angry expression on his face becomes gentle as if it had never happened before.

He seems like an easy guy to understand.

“therefore… , the association will teach you magic and send you to university… ? “That too through special admission.”

“huh.”

Ugh, look at that.

It’s obvious that he’s holding back the corners of his mouth from rising.

“Hmm! Then you become my motivation. Ha, indeed. It was a bit big on the topic… ?”

“Haha, I see… .”

As I awkwardly scratched the back of my head and answered, the guy patted my back.

“Come on, if that’s the case, go quickly. “Don’t make people from the association wait for no reason.”

“Yes, yes.”

I was pushed into the locker room by the guy’s backlash.

After quickly rinsing off my sweat and changing clothes, I saw Shin Yu-jeong coming out of the women’s locker room at the same time, shaking her wet hair.

“I didn’t dry my hair again.”

“Oh, it’s annoying. “Please stop me.”

When I showed it to them once, they kept asking me to use it every time.

I had no choice but to use dehydration magic to dry the guy’s hair until it was soft and fluffy.

“I really wish I could use this magic. Reorganize, really.”

“Talk to me anytime. “I’ll write it for you.”

I subtly show my presence to Shin Yoo-jeong, who looks disappointed.

“Ha, bastard. “See how he sneaks in on me?”

Shin Yu-jeong curls up one corner of her mouth and rests on her left leg.

I acted embarrassed and hurriedly waved my hands.

“Oh, no. It’s not like that… , Just because you said it was comfortable.”

In order to make a big comeback, preliminary work is more important than anything else.

You need to feel close to him little by little and give off a feeling of being subordinated to him.

As if he was quite satisfied with my answer, he put his arm around my shoulder.

“Baby, are you going right away?”

“huh. “It’s not that far from here.”

“Ah, it looks like there’s a magic academy over there.”

The guy pulled the arm from around his shoulder and walked away.

“Then I’m leaving. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

“Uh, goodbye.”

Like an obedient puppy, I lightly waved my hand until he walked away.

“Ugh.”

When I’m with Shin Yu-jeong, I feel like my energy is getting faster.

It’s all because of this body.

Just looking at that face fills me with tension.

Still, it looks better than before, but it seems like it will take some time for it to disappear completely.

It doesn’t make sense for something that has been around for 3 years to be forgotten in just a month.

Turn your body in the opposite direction the guy walked.

I heard there is a magic academy not far from here that I should attend.

“Let’s see… .”

I walked along the road while looking at the map sent to my smartphone.

I think I walked for about 5 minutes.

“Oh, this is it.”

You can see a 5-story building that is incomparably large and shabby compared to other buildings.

There is a sign on the top of the building that says ‘Park Cheol-soo Magic Academy’.

As I walk closer to the building, I see Yoon Ji-an wearing the same outfit as last time.

“hello.”

“Ah, you’re here.”

I followed her as she led the way and entered the academy.

Looking around, I saw quite a few people wandering around the academy.

“and… “Are these all awakened?”

“Yes that’s right.”

“The status of a wizard is certainly enormous.”

Not all of the people gathered here came to the academy because they had a talent for magic.

Maybe I have a talent for magic… ? These are the people who found it with their hearts.

If you can become a wizard, you will literally become a noble.

How many of them are real wizards?

I think two to three people would be a lot.

Take the elevator and head to the 5th floor, the top floor.

“This is the place.”

A door that says Director’s Office.

When I open the door Ji-an Yoon opened and go in, I see a middle-aged man with gray hair.

That person must be Director Park Cheol-soo, who is hanging on the building’s sign.

Yoon Ji-an, who followed him in, greets him politely.

“Hello, Director.”

“Welcome, Mr. Yoon Ji-an. Oh, this is… ?”

The director’s gaze glances at me.

“Yes, that’s right. “This is Mr. Kim Do-jin, who will be taking the special lecture this time.”

Yun Ji-an’s eyes also turn towards me.

After reading her notice, I immediately lowered my head towards Director Park Cheol-soo.

“This is Kim Do-jin.”

“Nice to meet you, I’m Director Park Cheol-soo.”

We shook hands lightly.

“Okay, let’s sit down first.”

Park Cheol-soo sat down first, and Yoon Ji-an and I sat on the chairs opposite him.

“is it so. I heard that he succeeded in magic by teaching himself… .”

“Yes, the Earth Needle was successful.”

“Huh… , It’s not even a common magic, but an attribute magic was successful.”

Common magic refers to magic that is used using only the arrangement of magical power without changing its properties.

Magic such as magic missile and shield fall into this category.

Since the number of strokes of the magic circle responsible for attribute conversion has been reduced, the difficulty level is a little easier.

“Can I take a look?”

“yes.”

His suggestion immediately attracts the magic power around him.

The image of the earth that emerges as an image is overlaid with magical power, and it is gathered together to take shape.

This time, it was implemented in the same form as seen on MeTube.

Soon, sharp brown needles appeared before my eyes.

“Here you go.”

When the results were presented in front of him, Director Park Cheol-soo’s mouth widened as he saw them.

What, why is it like that?

* * *

It’s night.

It was afternoon when I entered the magic academy.

I realized it again.

There are no normal wizards.

“I should have written a little slower… .”

There was only one thing that surprised Director Park Cheol-soo.

It was the speed at which the Earth Needle was created.

It is said that it takes approximately 20 seconds for beginners who are just learning magic and who cannot even be called wizards to create an Earth Needle.

Beginner wizards say it takes about 10 seconds.

But it only took 5 seconds for me to create the Earth Needle.

It was a ridiculous speed that an awakened person who had never learned magic should not show.

It started from then.

Director Park Cheol-soo’s courting song.

“Wow, that’s creepy.”

He was almost holding onto my trouser legs and asked me if I wanted to become his disciple.

The position of director of a magic academy is not easy to obtain.

Only wizards who have passed thorough verification through government agencies can be permitted to establish an academy.

In other words, Director Park Cheol-soo is a competent person guaranteed by the government.

Others would have accepted it right away, but I refused.

If I use my skills well, I could get an offer from even the top wizards in my country, but why?

“what… , But I still feel good.”

Thanks to Director Park Cheol-soo coming out like that, Yoon Ji-an looked even more surprised.

The woman who dropped me off at home a while ago will report this to the association, and my stock price will rise even further.

I think that if you secretly ask for something, they will do anything.

I was walking up the stairs, smiling happily.

“ah… “Dojin.”

Just then, I ran into a woman who opened the door and came out.

An awkward atmosphere encroaches on the surroundings.

“Oh, hello. Madame… .”

I greeted the lady in the most awkward manner possible.

“Yes, yes.”

It’s been almost 3 weeks.

Meeting this lady face to face like this.

Morning exercise? I didn’t do it.

Even after we parted ways like that, she always came to see me at dawn.

I refused, making the excuse that I couldn’t exercise because my arm hurt.

Still, I worked out with Shin Yu-jeong every afternoon.

I probably heard from her at least once that I was working out.

To sever the relationship with the lady? no.

It can be seen as a step backwards to go deeper.

It’s a sophisticated tactic to keep you on your toes even when you’re not watching.

I don’t have any advanced techniques between men and women.

However, I just want to solve it in my own way.

In a way, isn’t it similar?

Dealing with monsters and dealing with women.

It’s all about understanding the other person’s psychology and behavior patterns to gain a better position.

“I… “Dojin.”

While there was silence, the lady called me.

The expression on his face was strange.

It’s awkward, but it feels like there’s some kind of dissatisfaction.

“Your arm is completely healed, right?”

“ah… , yes.”

“Then exercise in the morning… , I guess I can go.”

“that… .”

You can go.

You can go.

But I didn’t say yes right away.

He repeatedly gave the impression that he was hesitating because something was bothering him.

Then the lady opened her mouth again.

“Do you have anything else to do tomorrow morning?”

“No, there is nothing like that… .”

“Then, I guess we can go.”

The lady’s tone became a little more forceful.

“I’ll go up in the morning, so get ready.”

It seemed as if a terrifying energy was seething.

So, I decided that it was impossible to hold back any longer.

“Uh, yes.”

I was a little scared.
