    I explained the whole story to Raon, who was looking at me with a blank expression and asking me something nonsensical like, “Who are you?”

    Raon, who had been listening to my story with caution, slowly opened his mouth as my story ended.

    He looked me up and down with incredulous eyes.

    “So….you…no, you’re Jodell…right?”

    “….Uh. It’s Jodel. She’s the type that grows a lot in one go. It runs in the family.”

    “No matter what, it’s like that. This is…”

    Raon’s suspicions were natural.

    I think it has changed quite a bit.

    I wanted him to grow up, but I didn’t know he would grow this much… Especially his appearance changed a lot. He went from having a face like a parasite to a handsome man with a sculpted face.

    I think I’ve become a little more handsome than the main character, Raon.

    “….Jodel, Jodel.’

    Raon seemed to be unfamiliar with me and muttered my name, then kept some distance.

    Well, it was a strange reaction for me, so I wonder what other people would think. It was a completely understandable reaction.

    This was a problem that time would solve.

    I spent the night with Raon, who was wary of me, and the next day came.

    As expected, Raon couldn’t wake up in the morning as if he had been on guard the day before.

    I called Raon a few times and then left the room without any regrets.

    This is my first time going to the academy as a grown man. I’m a little excited but also a little nervous.

    “Wow. Awesome….”

    “Who is that pretty boy?”

    ‘This is a bit burdensome…’

    Even when I went out to buy clothes, I felt like everyone’s eyes were focused on me every time I walked because my grown-up appearance was so handsome.

    I felt like I was going crazy because I was so burdened by the gossiping people. The stares from women in particular were overwhelming.

    There were people who dropped their handkerchiefs in front of me several times, people who collapsed as if they had anemia, people who bumped into each other… It was really a variety of people.

    I tried to ignore the hot stares and the constant flirting as I entered the classroom.

    The noisy classroom became silent as soon as I entered.

    I tried to ignore the stares that were so intense that they were irritating me and went to my seat.

    As expected, no one seemed to notice that I was Jodell and their gazes were sharp, almost hot.

    As I was sighing in the silence of the classroom, I felt a presence approaching.

    “….There’s a seat there….”

    The owner of the sound was Remy.

    As expected, his eyes were full of caution and he looked like he didn’t recognize me.

    “It’s me, Jodell…. Guys, it’s me, Jodell.”

    I confessed quietly.

    “What? That’s ridiculous!”

    “You’re Jodell?”

    “Jodel was cute, but he wasn’t as handsome as you! He was a shorty!”

    Who are you calling a little kid?

    As soon as I finished speaking, the classroom became noisy as if it had never been quiet before, as if it had become a market street.

    The reactions of the extra students were beyond imagination.

    Remy also looked at me with eyes full of disbelief, as if he couldn’t believe it.

    “Jodel~!”

    At that moment, Lisa, who had just entered the classroom, approached me naturally, called my name, and sat down next to me.

    Everyone’s eyes were blank at the mention of Russia’s Jodel.

    Remy’s face in particular was the very picture of confusion as to whether he should believe this or not.

    “….What, I was wondering why everyone was looking at Jodell. They were completely captivated by Jodell’s handsome face. Jodell is mine, so I wish everyone would stop looking at me and ignore me.”

    Everyone’s attention turned to Rascia’s murderous words.

    Only Remi took a step closer to Rasiya and asked.

    “Unnie… Jodell? Is this guy really?”

    “Yes. That’s right. It’s Jodell. I saw it yesterday. Jodell sleeping in my arms growing so fast… It was really amazing…! How she grew up so well… !”

    At Rashia’s words, the children began to murmur again.

    Now that a witness has come forward and said he saw it in person, it seems like they are finally admitting that I am Jodelle.

    This time I got some help from Rashia. She always helps me out.

    But that thought disappeared in less than a second.

    “…..What, so that means you two slept together?”

    “….Wow, really….I said it was Jodell sleeping in my arms, but it was definitely…”

    “No, that’s not it! Rascia!”

    I hurriedly stood up from my seat and shouted at the extras’ words.

    I didn’t realize it because I was absent-minded, but thinking about it, there was plenty of room for doubt in what Russia said.

    As if she was aiming for this, Rasia licked her red lips with her tongue and looked at me, winking slightly.

    I was amazed by the performance that showed everyone that the two of us were special.

    As the children’s noise grew louder, the door opened and the professor came in.

    “…..Why is everyone so noisy today? What’s going on?”

    Everyone quickly sat down when the professor appeared.

    The commotion died down quickly, but the furtive glances did not disappear.

    The professor seemed to have sensed the different atmosphere in the classroom than usual, so he looked around the classroom and then stopped and looked at me.

    The look in those eyes was one of puzzlement.

    “…Who are you?”

    “……I’m Jodel, teacher.”

    “….That Jodel isn’t the Jodel I know?”

    “How did that happen….”

    I had no choice but to explain the whole story to the professor again.

    * * *

    In a dark alley.

    Sola, a woman with long black hair and red eyes with a hazy look on her face, staring blankly at the man dying in front of her, covered in blood, slowly walked forward.

    ‘….I’m bored.’

    I’m bored.

    I’m bored.

    I’m so bored I’m going crazy.

    This is such a twisted family.

    I want to get rid of it quickly… but it wasn’t as easy as I thought. But it wasn’t long.

    Because I’ve been preparing step by step since I was young.

    We had gathered enough talented people and they were all ready to jump into the Jack family anytime, anywhere.

    Finally, Jodell. I think I just need to get my hands on that servant…

    Jodel, who had the special ability to control wild beasts. It was such a shame that I couldn’t get my hands on that Jodel.

    At first, I didn’t even know he was a servant from the Jack family. Later, I found out through Rashia. He was a servant from the Jack family…

    Well, I did think it was strange.

    When I opened my eyes in the infirmary, what I saw was the gift that Russia had given me.

    The poisoning also happened while I was eating with Jodell.

    At the time, I had no idea that he would inject the poison without even looking into my eyes.

    That’s why I was angry at first, but later I started to feel regret.

    There are only a handful of people with that kind of talent and ability… But I couldn’t find them at all.

    ‘If I could just find it… I could make it completely my own… If I could just use that ability..!’

    Solar had a special ability.

    No, I learned it. To destroy the family… That was hypnosis.

    Realizing that assassination alone would not be enough to bring down the family, he had to find some special ability they didn’t know about.

    The ability to exploit their weaknesses.

    So, after asking around, I was finally able to find a master of hypnosis, and while pretending to go on a mission, I secretly learned hypnosis techniques from the master.

    At first, the failure rate was high, but the more I did it, the higher my success rate became, and now I was able to hypnotize better than my master, who was called the master of hypnosis.

    I just made eye contact with the target and then hypnotized him into killing himself.

    As expected, the result was successful.

    The fear of death was also useless when one was under one’s own hypnosis.

    The ability to literally turn someone into a puppet.

    ‘Perfect….’

    The preparations are complete.

    It was a shame I couldn’t find Jodelle, but I couldn’t waste any more time.

    I planned to use this ability to hypnotize my family in the future.

    Of course, I don’t think it will work perfectly.

    Because my family is literally monsters.

    Let’s start with his younger brother, Remy. Let’s start with Remy. If he succeeds even with Rasia… then…. destroying the family may not be a dream.

    My grandfather, who supported the family, was also a toothless tiger. Now was the perfect opportunity.

    This damn family… I will definitely get rid of them.

    It was something I had vowed to do ever since I was very young, when my grandfather broke the things I treasured.

    The constant threat to one’s life, the horrible tortures that brought one to the brink of death, and the days spent soaked in poison…

    I’m really sick of this now. The day to get out is just around the corner.

    Solar walked towards the academy.

    Let’s go to the academy and meet Remy.

    And let’s hypnotize.

    That was the first thing to do.

    If we join forces with Remy, wouldn’t we be able to defeat Russia?

    No matter how strong he was, Remy also became stronger and he also grew.

    He was no longer his helpless former self. He joined forces with Remy to incapacitate and hypnotize Racia.

    Oh, and lastly, we need to attract as many talented people as possible to the academy.

    The more talent the better. It’s really not that far away now.

    The day when he will bring everyone to their knees at his feet and erase the Jack family from the world….

    And he was thinking of creating a new family of his own.

    Solar gritted her teeth.

    ‘The war starts now…..’
