After enjoying some healing time while running my fingers through my glossy black hair, I got on the carriage and looked through the rapidly changing window.

The scenery I could see out the car window was Academy Street. Commonly referred to as a university town. There were so many spectacular things to see.

Even though its power has decreased as the imperial authority has strengthened, the pure white main shrine is still located in the center of the capital.

Among the nobles who graduated from the academy, those who have nothing to inherit sometimes become priests. Well, it’s not as good as it used to be, but being a priest is still a respected profession.

So, to become a priest, one must have divine power or make a large donation.

“Should I get a priest’s license…”

I shook my head at the habit of modern people who want to get a certificate first.

The front of the school gate was crowded with carriages filled with students. A wealthy merchant’s carriage that is simply extravagant. A carriage with noble family antelopes engraved with the family seal.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was a traffic jam, but surprisingly, it was an empty space. This was, in short, a VIP-only road that only academy professors and special high-ranking nobles could use.

The carriage majestically entered the academy and stopped only in front of the centrally located main building.

In modern terms, does it feel like commuting to school in a private car in front of the classroom building on a university campus?

‘omg…’

‘excuse me…’

The moment I got off the carriage, I heard a gasp.

Because of the Arjane family seal on the carriage, the only people who can get off the carriage are Maria Arjane, the school’s student council president and the most powerful person, or her younger sister Marian Arjane.

“Hmm.”

With every step I took, Moses’ miracles unfolded before my eyes.

But some. There were also people looking at me in fascination.

‘You’re a new student.’

I could tell just by looking at the reaction.

This is because existing students avoided eye contact or lowered their heads whenever they made eye contact.

‘It’s not like I’m eating them.’

In fact, it’s been more than 10 days since the new semester started, but it was my first time going to school.

‘It feels like I’m in the middle of nowhere.’

As I entered the classroom, the once cheerful interior became quiet as if I had been hit by cold water.

“Um.”

I guess this is it. The second year was also a disaster.

‘Where should I sit…?’

Students sitting as if their seats have already been assigned.

It was spacious and there were empty seats here and there, but they were between gaps in the crowd.

I don’t want to be among men, but rather among women… or…

My eyes naturally turned to the corner, towards the window.

Adequate sunlight and blind spots on the lectern. An amazing place where you can fall asleep easily. A famous place for anyone to see. That means it already had an owner.

“Hey Kallen, isn’t it a little hot? I will sit in the front.”

“Uh, you too? ah. Me too.”

The two male students who were taking the place, who looked like delinquent students, jumped up and said a line that seemed unnatural to anyone.

And as if he were a model student, he took a seat across from the teacher’s table.

Did I stare too intently?

I didn’t mean to steal your seat.

‘Still, it’s a huge gain.’

“The history of the empire… begins with the temple. Although the priesthood has been greatly weakened now…”

As expected, the seat was comfortable. So much so that the boring professor’s explanation sounds like a lullaby. The sunlight was just right and the view beyond the window was nice.

Grumble.

Everyone’s attention was focused on the suddenly opened door.

Ian Rippleton and Yuri West.

This was the appearance of Fishing Ground No. 3 and the female protagonist of this novel.

“I… I heard that starting this year, first-year students can also take major classes together. Is that correct?”

A delicate voice speaking cautiously.

“That’s right. But from now on, please come in before class starts.”

The professor looked at Ian and Yuri in turn and spoke calmly.

“Yes…”

Hearing Yuri’s weak voice, Ian glared at the professor.

Then the sharp professor turned his head.

Even if they can take classes in their major together, there are few geeks who bother to audit them.

‘I’m not a study bug either.’

Ian looked around and sat down in an empty seat. And when he looked at the male student sitting next to him, he sat down a little deeper, and only then did Ian motion for an empty seat.

“Glass.”

To put it simply… it was the voice of a ladleful of butter.

“Thank you, Ian.”

It felt a little uncomfortable.

As if I wasn’t the only one, other people also took a look at them and turned their heads.

‘Are you dating in a crazy classroom?’

You could say that this is a romance fantasy novel and a classroom date between the sub male lead and the female protagonist…

‘Is this right…?’

Moreover, is this a foreign object that would not normally appear in this classroom and would not exist in this classroom…

It may not have been 10 days since we met, but the look in Ian’s eyes when he looks at Yuri seems to be full of honey.

I clicked my tongue.

‘I’m already possessed.’

Still, Ian may not be a candidate for the male lead, but he had a presence that was distinctly different from the male extras around him.

“…Ian, in the same classroom…”

“Ian oppa…”

“You crazy bitch. You are my sister.”

“If you’re handsome, you’re all oppa…”

The way women looked at him was like fangirls meeting an idol they admired.

“Wow… who is that new student…? It’s so pretty…?”

“She’s so pretty, but no one knows…?”

Men also did more, not less. The sound of drooling could be heard everywhere.

I naturally looked at them too.

As a male lead candidate, he is a man with clear features like sculptures, but he also has shiny gray hair and eyes like flames.

It was different from what I saw in the illustration.

‘He is a handsome man.’

still. I didn’t have the same shock when I saw Maria or Cecilia.

Are you just handsome?

That much?

Ian is covering the glass with his tall height as if to protect himself from men’s gaze.

“Ian?”

A voice full of curiosity.

“It’s nothing.”

A voice that is about 50% gentle and 50% blunt.

I made eye contact with the heroine, who made a pouty face, and swallowed a sigh of relief.

‘It’s pretty, pretty…’

If there was a picture of innocence, wouldn’t it be Yuri West?

Pink hair like a flower. If my hair is silver and looks like it has a hint of pink sprinkled on it, that’s just pink. The eyes are also bright pink. Skin that looks as white and soft as whipped cream. Cute facial features.

Cute and lovely impression.

Isn’t this why they killed me so quickly in the original? To the extent that I feel that way, it overlaps with me overall.

I quickly looked out the window.

‘……As much as possible. ‘You shouldn’t even make eye contact.’

*

Ian was in a good mood when he entered the classroom with Yuri. Even though we met less than a week ago, I knew it the moment I saw it.

It’s love.

The moment you enter the classroom, you feel the countless gazes. In response, Yuri grabbed his sleeve as if relying on himself.

Feeling like I was Yuri’s boyfriend, I escorted Yuri more confidently.

I wanted to rip out the eyes of those who looked at Yuri in a mean way, but then pure Yuri would be surprised.

Then I saw it.

A dress in white and pink. It is loosened long and the ends are slightly curled. The fluffy-looking hair was similar to glass, but had a more mysterious color.

The girl looked younger than anyone else in the classroom. It looked like a cross between an adult and a girl, and for a moment I thought it was a fairy.

I was literally mesmerized by the sight.

“Ian…?”

I had forgotten about Yuri until he called me.

“Ah.”

Ian was inwardly embarrassed.

I thought it was love. After class today, I was planning to invite Yuri over and confess to him.

however.

I am hesitant.

Without realizing it, my gaze went to the window.

The silver hair that sparkled in the sunlight felt like pure white silk as it caught the light, and depending on the angle of the light, it looked as if it had been sprinkled with pink flower petals.

As if sensing her gaze, the girl looked this way.

When our eyes met, his round eyes looked like a surprised rabbit.

My heart was beating violently.

The girl looked at herself for a moment and then turned her head again.

It was somehow disappointing.

“Wow…”

At that time, Yuri next to me let out an exclamation.

“Why are you doing that?”

I asked reflexively, feeling a prickly feeling.

“That silver hair… or is it pink…? Silver pink? He seems younger than us, but he must be a senior, right? It’s really elegant and beautiful…”

I almost forgot the situation and nodded vigorously at her words.

“There are a lot of really elegant and sophisticated ladies in the capital.”

Yuri said he was from a local area.

I will show you around the capital. How about eating together today?

It was a line I had prepared several times, but I was never able to say it.

In the end, I didn’t attend any classes and couldn’t take my eyes off her until the end.

While Yuri wore a bright dress, the woman by the window wore a pink-based dress with white frills.

It wasn’t a particularly flashy design. Although her clothes were simpler and had less decoration compared to the clothes worn by young ladies, her beauty did not fade in the slightest.

Rather, it is more like a garnish that makes the main dish stand out…

“You’re such a pretty person, right?”

Yuri seemed to notice my gaze and said.

‘Yuri, you are much more beautiful and elegant.’

If you plan on seducing Yuri, you should say so.

“Yuri, you are beautiful too.”

But, I couldn’t bear to say it.

“Thank you.”

Yuri, smiling beautifully, was somehow sad but beautiful.
