I couldn’t hide my bewilderment as I looked at the fallen Solar.

‘….What the heck, was the medicine too strong?’

It’s as diluted as possible…

I was worried that he might not be breathing, so I approached him and saw that he was clutching his stomach as if in pain, but fortunately he was breathing well.

Even if it’s diluted, if it’s like this, then how much poison did you give to your little brother, Russia?

Those sitting in the restaurant were murmuring as they watched Sora fall. However, they seemed to be just watching and had no intention of stepping forward to help.

I sighed deeply, picked up Solar, and headed to the infirmary.

Since Solar had told me earlier where the infirmary was, I was able to find it without getting lost.

Knock knock

….Is there anyone inside?

After knocking and making sure there was no noise inside, I opened the door and went inside.

Inside the spacious infirmary, there were several beds and what appeared to be ingredients for various medicines, neatly arranged.

I laid Solar down on the bed. Her complexion improved significantly in the short time she was here, as if her early childhood education had had an effect.

At this point, I don’t think there’s a need to make a separate antidote.

You’ll feel better when you wake up.

After covering Sola’s body with a blanket, he took out the poisoned dagger he had received from Rasia in the subspace and placed it next to Sola.

With this, all the missions that Russia gave me have been completed.

I looked down at the unconscious Solar with a frown.

‘It’s pitiful that he’s young.’

It was unfortunate for Solar, but destroying the Jack family was impossible from the start.

The Jack family is a family with a long tradition that has survived for over 500 years.

The reason Solar thinks she only needs to take care of her family is because she’s still young.

Would Russia have gone to the dungeon on her own accord?

There are many strong people in that dungeon. If they were released, they would cause great damage to the empire.

It was not for nothing that the Emperor left the family of assassins alone. He did not leave them alone; he simply could not bring himself to touch them.

‘….Even if I can’t help Solar, I have to stop her.’

It’s still a long way from the time when Solar rebels against her family, so it would be best to end our meeting with Solar here.

I said goodbye to Solar, thinking I’d see her later, and left the infirmary as I walked around the school.

As you walk around the school, you will naturally notice groups of children running around and chatting energetically.

‘Since I’m here….’

How about going out and taking a look around all the places you really wanted to see in webtoons?

It’s only been a day since I arrived at the academy.

There’s still a week left, so if I take a look around here today and spend the rest of the time wandering around the estate, it should be about the right amount of time.

While planning my future, I walked through the hallway where the main characters in the webtoon first met, and also walked through the garden where they often walked around and dated.

‘….Wow, that’s cool.’

It definitely felt different when I saw it in person.

The vivid images of people and green nature made me realize once again that I was really living in this webtoon world.

‘Now, finally….’

I walked to the training ground.

It was the place I was most looking forward to.

Originally, people tend to have at least one favorite character when reading webtoons.

I had that too. My favorite character was…

I don’t know if she still exists since it’s in the past since the webtoon started…

I wanted to stop by once before going to the academy.

‘It’s lunch time, so I wonder if there’s anyone inside….’

Unlike the restaurant which was crowded with people, the road to the training room was extremely deserted.

Then the door to the familiar training room appears.

I felt a presence inside. Could it be…

I held back my pounding heart and opened the door to the training room. But I couldn’t go any further inside. I stopped walking and froze in place.

‘Ah…. So it happened at this time too.’

He was wearing a neat black kimono-like training uniform and was holding a wooden sword in his hand.

A face as white as jade, almost as white as snow, and silver hair tied neatly together, giving off a cold, chilling look.

Blue eyes as cold as ice, stubbornly pursed lips, and even the charming point at the tip of the lips.

Assyria, known as the swordsman genius!

She was a princess from a cold northern country. With her sword naturally imbued with the cold characteristic of the North, she would become the youngest sword master in the future.

The crown prince fell in love with Assyria at first sight and tried to seduce her in any way he could, but she was also the first woman who did not fall for the main character, the crown prince.

‘I’ve finally seen Assyria… I’ll die with no regrets…’

The picture doesn’t live up to reality.

There was nothing so cool about focusing on a sword.

I quietly watched Assyria train.

He had reached a level close to that of a sword master, but he seemed frustrated because he had not yet achieved enlightenment.

How do you know?

Because I read the webtoon. I know how she got to that point.

I don’t know how much I supported Assyria back then.

‘….let’s go back.’

Even though it was lunchtime, I decided to go back because I thought it would be a bit of a nuisance to see him biting his lips while training.

I wanted to have a word with my favorite person just once, but I decided to be satisfied with just seeing him in person.

If I get the chance later…

That was the moment.

A wooden sword flying towards me roughly passed by my head.

‘What, what is it…’

Although I didn’t avoid it because I had no choice, my bangs that had been covering my face were cut off.

Thanks to that, I was able to clearly see Assyria’s angry face in front of me.

I couldn’t hide my surprise at the sudden attack.

‘…More than that, how on earth did you cut off hair with a wooden sword?’

Who wouldn’t say he’s talented…?

Assyria glared at me with an angry expression, then seemed to scan my face, then his stiff face relaxed.

“….Are you a freshman?”

“….Yes, yes!”

“You must be lost. The teachers’ office is over there.”

“Yes, thank you!”

….What, you’re kinder than I thought?

Assyria is a misandrist and tends to have a fit when even a man approaches her, so I was surprised to see her kindly giving directions, even though she was strict.

Is it true that you’re still young and your misandry isn’t that bad?

Then Assyria continued speaking.

“Ah, I apologize for swinging the wooden sword just now. I’m sorry. I thought you were a guy because your hair was so bushy.”

“Yes. Right….. Yes?”

“I didn’t notice you because your pretty face was covered by your hair. Are you hurt anywhere?”

Assyria looked at my body with a worried face.

It was obviously a touching situation that my favorite person was worried about me, but I couldn’t bring myself to be happy.

When I met him, I thought he was really pretty for a guy.

I didn’t realize it because I had been hiding it for so long…

It seemed that my parasitic brother-like face was revealed as my bangs were cut off.

But that doesn’t mean she’s a woman…!

Assyria, who thought of me as a woman without any doubt, treated me as a woman, fully displaying his kind personality when it came to women.

‘…What should I do about this misunderstanding?’

Things took a strange turn.

* * *

“It’s lunch time. The test will also stop for an hour and start again, right? Then, Principal, Vice Principal. I’ll go eat first.”

“….Why are you in such a hurry, Professor Luken.”

“Haha, don’t you know, Principal?”

“Tsk. Don’t be impatient…”

“….I’ll just eat quickly and come back.”

Despite the principal’s dissuasion, Professor Luken hurried his steps.

If it were normal, I would have listened to the principal’s words and calmly waited until the official admission.

But if you stay as an academy professor for a long time, you develop a sense.

When a professor is enthusiastic and praises students, students basically react in two ways.

Most people react with excitement or joy, but some students who are truly uninterested or don’t want to do it react with indifference or trembling.

Unfortunately, the candidate who caught Professor Luken’s fancy this time was the latter.

So, before I got used to the academy life and got distracted by other things, I planned to make him sign the contract while he was still a rookie who didn’t know anything and couldn’t say anything else.

A contract to become your faithful assistant…

Of course, it’s not a slave contract or anything like that.

I was confident that if I could just stamp my seal, I would be able to support myself in various ways throughout my future academy career.

Jodell would probably be satisfied too.

It hasn’t been that long since he left, so he might still be on campus, right?

Most freshmen were confident that Jodell was still at the school, as it was common for them to just take a look around the academy.

Professor Luken walked around the places that new students would definitely visit and asked students passing by.

“Oh, I saw you, Professor. You mean the boy with the bushy hair? You were having lunch with Solar, and Solar collapsed because she wasn’t feeling well. I think you were carrying Solar to the infirmary?”

Were you with Solar?

Solar, the red-eyed symbol of the Jack family, appears gentle but is actually eccentric.

He was known as a crazy bastard within the academy, as he did not hesitate to use violence against those he did not like.

‘That crazy bastard is my future disciple…!’

Professor Luken hurried his steps.

“…Professor?”

Professor Luken headed straight to the infirmary, opened the door, and went inside. Then, Sola, who was leaning against the bed, called out to Professor Luken with a blank expression.

In Sola’s hand was a dagger with a sharp edge that was hideously ugly.

Professor Luken turned his head quickly to look for Jodell, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t find her.

“Uh. Right. Solaryang. I have something I want to ask you. Weren’t you with Jodel-kun by any chance? I have something important to tell Jodel-kun right now…”

“Yes. We were together. But we’re not together now.”

“…..Really?”

I wonder if he went back to that new house.

Just when I was about to feel disappointed, Solar got up from her seat.

“Solar, her face paler than usual,” said.

“…..I was looking for it too. It couldn’t have gone far. Let’s go together, Professor.”

“No, that’s not necessary…”

“Let’s go together.”

Professor Luken wanted to refuse, but he could no longer refuse.

Because the mad pup’s two eyes were glaring dangerously.
