Actually, I thought Professor Moriarty would naturally pose this question.

The official toughest challenge for Academy freshmen.

Binomial theorem.

One of the extensive magical engineering concepts.

In the field of Grand Magic, it appears consistently in advanced courses like magical composition theory and magical probability theory.

Just hearing about it, it seems like an incredibly difficult concept.

And that’s the truth.

If we were to mention how many “Magic Discarders” have been produced by that infamous ‘binomial theorem,’ it would be endless.

However, this complex concept was once easily explained to me by my childhood friend, Lim Yuna.

-“…That’s like, if we likened it to a building, it feels like the blueprint of a structure!”

-“Oh, I see. Just like drawing up blueprints before constructing a building, you first need to check each component of the spell you’re going to cast, envisioning the blueprint step by step?”

-“Wow, wow! Suddenly ■■ got smart!”

-“Really, you don’t seem like the ■■ I used to know…”

-“What?! These kids? I was always this smart!”

-“Don’t be ridiculous. Tomorrow, will the sun rise from the west?”

Yuna and I shared many common interests since childhood.

Especially in the realms of ‘games’ and ‘novels.’

So when I recommended the novel ‘Choi Asal’ to her, she stayed up all night reading it with great enjoyment.

Even though it was a male-oriented adult novel. So, I used to tease Yuna, calling her a TS beauty…

Still, she managed to secure the top spot in our university without fail, proving herself to be quite sharp.

“I wonder if she’s living well…”

Suddenly, I started missing Yuna.

We shared a close bond since kindergarten, even to the extent of her knowing the passcode to our front door.

She used to come over frequently, asking me to cook ramen for her at night…

Back then, she even boldly declared that she would marry me.

Of course, that was all during our childish days.

Because…

Since I started dating Park Ayoung, we gradually drifted apart.

And unlike with Park Ayoung, Yuna and I had a rocky relationship from the early days of the game club.

I hope she’s living well somewhere.

For some reason, as soon as I heard ‘binomial theorem,’ Yuna came to mind.

Unlike Park Ayoung, she was a friend who read novels as voraciously as I did.

I must never suggest something like ‘possession’ even if the opportunity arises.

That’s what I thought.

Professor Moriarty intentionally presented a problem that was deliberately challenging, suitable for a 6th grader.

On the spot, I pretended to solve it mentally.

In reality, it wasn’t mental calculation.

Having conquered this game thousands of times, I had memorized the entire solution.

Rather, I had been eagerly awaiting Professor Moriarty to finally pose this question.

“The answer is to create a Fire Bolt by placing 7 fire magic circles on the right mana circle and 3 wind magic circles on the left mana circle.”

“Oh… In that case, what is the solution process?”

“(7a+3b)^2 = 49a^2 + 42ab + 9b^2.”

As I accurately presented the solution process, Professor Moriarty was visibly astonished.

“H-How on earth did such a student get in…?”

Seeing my precise mental calculation response, he seemed quite intrigued.

No, beyond intrigued, he appeared excited.

“In fact, could he be wrong? I was secretly anxious…”

Anyway, it was a success.

It’s somewhat satisfying to stumble around; I myself don’t know how I managed to memorize such a complex formula.

After experiencing thousands of resurrections, my body seemed to react automatically. I had memorized all the formulas in the game inside out.

Soon, the surroundings became noisy.

Whispering whispers.

“What’s so special about that?”

“Ugh, that kid. Always unlucky and causing trouble.”

[Group, ‘Arpen Academy World,’ has decreased its favorability towards you by 1.]

As expected.

Many freshmen didn’t fully grasp how challenging this problem was.

Because even professors struggled to solve it accurately.

Moreover, solving it on the spot mentally was a feat.

Even the renowned Professor Moriarty found it daunting.

In this world, talent in magical calculations directly correlated with ‘magic efficiency.’

Hence, it was a talent visible only in those with the potential to become great wizards.

While favorability dropped among clueless students,

It wasn’t the case with Professor Moriarty.

[Professor Moriarty’s emotions have changed to ‘A genius student appearing in my classroom!’]

[Professor Moriarty’s favorability has significantly increased.]

Thus, Professor Moriarty also made it into my ‘National Encyclopedia List.’

Of course, the list was merely a roster of prospects.

There were no intentions to include it in the ‘Slave List’ of active servants under hypnosis.

Because only pretty girls like Yarisha Yeonga or Ryo-na could be registered in my slave directory.

Hence, this unassuming middle-aged man wouldn’t be considered for assistant duties, no matter how capable he appeared.

“Some assistants did endure despite the challenges. Truly remarkable individuals.”

That was how exceptional Professor Moriarty was among 5-star characters.

However, truth be told,

I had a separate reason for wanting to deepen my bond with Professor Moriarty.

It was to dispel any unnecessary doubts during his classes.

Because being listed in the ‘National Encyclopedia’ prevented skills like calling forth.

Yet, occasionally, I could hear the inner thoughts of characters.

“Hmm…?! But why is Lucius hiding his left hand under the desk?”

“And why does he keep looking down and smiling sinisterly? Huh, why does that remind me of last night?”

Whenever Moriarty voiced suspicions during class,

I would stretch and yawn, alternating my hands while pretending to be engrossed.

“Oh, my arm felt heavy, that’s why I put it down. Excellent student! How diligently you must have studied last night…”

And when he suspected me of smiling sinisterly,

I would gaze straight ahead, feigning keen interest with sparkling eyes, pretending to listen attentively to Professor Moriarty’s lecture.

“Ah, to meet a student with such talent and character in my lifetime… I swear on the name of Moriarty, I will nurture you into a highly esteemed individual in society!”

Of course, it was all a misunderstanding.

In reality,

Under the desk, I continued to provocatively tease my younger sister Choa while assisting her with her studies.

Although Professor Moriarty’s lectures were known for their high quality,

The theoretical aspects were already familiar to me as a seasoned veteran user from a past life, weren’t they?

So, in a way,

My sister’s tutoring took precedence at times.

“…Sniff! Ugh, hehe…!”

Choa occasionally let out loud moans akin to a megaphone.

At such moments, even Professor Moriarty could hear it.

“Huh?! Who on earth is making strange noises during my sacred class time…?!”

Then, I would immediately stop the actions of the device

and pretend to listen intently to Professor Moriarty’s lecture with a focused gaze.

I instructed Choa to act similarly through the hypnotic app.

【With star-like pupils, gaze into Professor Moriarty’s eyes.】

Sparkling brightly.

– I, did I watch too much domestic adult videos yesterday…? To imagine such lewd things while having such lovely disciples…!

That’s how it was.

Professor Moriarty’s eyes always had a sharpness to them… There was a reason for his completely bald head.

Reflecting on the mistake of excessive vigor from the previous night, Professor Moriarty looked at us with a satisfied gaze.

Sigh, as I looked at James Moriarty who was pushing through those limits, I felt a sense of regret as if my appetite had been spoiled.

A true sage.

One should not be satisfied just by watching adult videos.

Like me, he should have also awakened to the way of managing wisdom time by reading erotic stories…

Anyway, Professor Moriarty’s class was coming to an end smoothly.

Lunchtime was approaching now.

“Hmm, who should I assist during lunchtime…?”

During lunchtime, students crowded in most places around the school.

The academy’s meals were not only served in the cafeteria but also activated in the convenience store, fast food outlets, and lunch boxes.

In other words, the idea of differential treatment based on grades meant that it was a famous phrase for kids who emptied their savings to eat.

“I guess the restroom would be nice…?”

I soon headed towards the boys’ restroom to assist another pretty girl.

#

“■■Hey… Are you home?”

Tap-tap-tap-tap-.

Strange. My male friend ■■■ hasn’t replied to my KakaoTalk messages for a month.

“I’m going in to check! Purely out of concern….”

Today, I decided to visit my male friend’s house after a long time.

Already in his late twenties.

To the house of the cruel male friend who never understood my inner thoughts.

====================

▼ The female friend Lim Yuna, who will be possessed, was a high school student. She often wanted to become a flight attendant, took selfies like this even though she wasn’t a flight attendant…!!
