“.. Deification?”

What kind of bongchang is happening all of a sudden?

I tried to achieve a form of magic and failed, so what kind of deification?

“Has the cadet ever created something?”

“That’s right.. if you use magic..”

“No, I said it wrong. So.”

Professor Zhan looked at me with almost confidence in his eyes.

“Have you ever made something with life?”

“…”

At first I wondered what that meant.

But after a while, one thing came to mind.

“.. Tess too.”

“What?”

Tess, the water spirit with the motif of Hyeonmu.

If this spirit… is not something that originally existed, but something I created…

“Probably, if you count this guy as a living creature… that’s right.”

“Quite!”

“….”

“…? Professor Jan?”

“.. Uh.. Ah.. Ugh.. I’m sorry. So cute.. wow.. standing..”

Professor Jan’s eyes were turning into hearts as he looked at Tesdo as if he were fascinated.

It seemed like it would get dangerous after a little while, so I hurriedly countersummoned Tesdo.

“Chet.. If you look at it together, it adds up a bit. It’s not like it’s worn out…”

“Haha..”

“Anyway. The only people who could create such a being were the gods. And because the cadets have achieved such achievements, their status rises.”

He keeps talking while turning his head to the side as if he is upset.

“The reason I held your hand a little while ago was because my mana suddenly changed. I didn’t know it was a deification, but…”

I see… But what good is it if you deify it?

Will something change?

“I don’t know.”

“.. Yes?”

“That’s right.. you have to have someone who has been deified to know.”

“No.. then how did you know it was a deification?”

“That’s right.. Not only life, but creating something from nothing is an act that only God can do.”

Professor Zhan proudly created ice and rock pieces with his hands.

“We use mana to use magic like this. Some people say that this too created something from nothing.”

Professor Zan, who was twirling and smiling slightly, clenched his fists.

-Click!

“But the moment you cut off the mana… everything you created using magic disappears.”

The sparkling mana powder sank to the ground and disappeared.

“It is correct to view it as a lower concept rather than the concept of creation. If it cannot be maintained even if mana is cut off, it cannot be considered a creation.”

As Professor Jan continued his explanation, his finger pointed above my shoulder.

Tess also appeared again without me noticing.

.. Since when..?

“What?”

“But… you and that spirit are different. Because you created a creature that did not actually exist… with your mana.”

Come to think of it, Tesdo never disappeared.

Even if I reverse-summoned it, I felt it was near me, and other than increasing its size, it didn’t really consume any mana.

At first, I felt a little bit drained, but now that’s gone.

“.. Is that so..? My mana is just a little special…”

“Then it is correct to say that he is being deified.”

That’s right…

Ah.. what kind of deification..

There’s been a lot to worry about lately, and one more thing has been added.

He’s a pretty annoying guy that can’t be ignored.

“Then.. what should I do now..?”

“Anyway. I just need to train the same way… maybe?”

“.. Maybe..?”

As I asked back the answer I didn’t want, Professor Zhan’s face became increasingly scary.

“Yes! I don’t know anything I’ve never experienced!”

“.. Yes..”

Well, if you can know exactly what you see for the first time, it is beyond the realm of humans.

“.. Then keep doing what you were doing before..?”

“Whew.. That’s right. Try it quickly.”

The anger on Professor Zhan’s expression decreased, and curiosity gradually grew.

Training with Professor Jan, who was full of curiosity, continued until the sun disappeared.

“Thank you for your hard work. Let’s go back then.”

“… Yes..”

After emptying my mana several times, I was exhausted and used space transport to take me to the dormitory.

“See you tomorrow then.”

“Yes….. Yes..?”

As I was walking back to the dormitory, I heard something strange and asked back, but Professor Jan had already disappeared.

Do I have to go through this trouble tomorrow too?

“Ugh….”

I let out a sigh and trudged on.

“I’m here..”

“.. Vera… isn’t it?”

“No way.. there are so many, will it increase further..?”

The ones who welcomed me back to the dormitory were Bea and Agnes, who were full of doubt.

However, I was so tired at the time that I just passed it off as a joke and leaned on them.

“Guys.. I’m so sleepy..”

Their bodies that accepted my body were slightly shocked.

And then I heard Bea’s voice in my ear.

“.. I’m sleeping. Then everything will be over.”

I fell into the devil’s temptation and fell asleep.

Was it early in the morning the next day when I dressed up?

“Ugh…?”

I’m sure I should be refreshed after sleeping, but why am I so tired?

I woke up feeling as if all my energy had been sucked out.

“Ugh.. What is that smell..”

I started to smell a strange smell that I couldn’t sense when I was lying down.

I felt uncomfortable for no reason, so I quickly ventilated the room.

Fresh air came into the room, but even so, another smell began to emerge.

When I sniffed to find the cause of the cold sore, I found out that the culprit was me.

“Now that I think about it, I came back after training and went to sleep right away..”

I was shocked by my smell and went outside to wash up.

“Nod…nod..”

I was careful not to wake Anne, who was sleeping in a chair, so I went straight to the bathroom and quickly washed up.

“Ugh.. What is this..”

When you take off your clothes before washing. I was a little embarrassed by the kiss marks all over my body, but decided to ask after washing up.

After washing it so cleanly that it would be written as if it were a cartoon, there was no more smell.

“But.. what about this..”

The kiss marks look more prominent after washing.

I would understand if it was only on the neck, but it’s all over the body.

“… I guess not..”

Although there was an unpleasant smell, there was no scent of blood there.

I put aside any further doubts and came out of the bathroom.

“Nodding… Are you a master..”

“… Sorry, I woke you up again..”

“It’s not something you should feel sorry for. It’s time to wake up in a little while.”

I tried walking quietly, but Anne seemed to have a good sense of humor even in the middle of her sleep, so I woke her up again.

It’s too late to go into the bedroom like this.

I asked Ann for some refreshments and tea and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

“Rattle.”

“Here it is.”

“Thank you Anne.”

I picked up the steaming cup of tea and held it in my mouth for a bit.

“It’s delicious as expected.”

“Thank you, Master.”

I don’t know much about cars and I’m not an expensive person, but Ann’s cars were on a different level from other places.

Ann, the person who delivered this car, doesn’t take my compliments at face value, but…

When I mentioned it to him once last time, he belittled himself by saying he wasn’t that skilled.

This is good enough… no, it’s too good…

“Mumbling.. Are there any inconveniences while staying at the academy?”

I asked Anne while taking a bite of the cookie left next to the car.

Unlike the room in the Duke’s house where I stayed alone, I live with several people at the academy.

As a result, it is inevitable that dissatisfaction will arise, knowingly or unknowingly.

“The inconvenience.. you mean?”

“Yes. You don’t express it so I don’t know. So please answer honestly.”

“.. Honestly…”

Anne, who had been struggling with one word, nodded.

“Okay. Then, I will be honest about the inconvenience.”

“.. Yes. Tell me.”

Anne’s face became serious, and I became nervous as I listened.

“I’m jealous.”

“… Huh..?”

“There are many things I want to do with you, Master.. To be precise, there are times when we want to be together. But right now, there are the young lady and princess sleeping in that room, and there are also saints and other noble ladies in the academy.”

“That.. right..?”

“So, I feel like my master has been taken away.”

“…”

I felt like a fool for being so nervous.

To be honest, I had noticed that Anne liked me.

It’s just that I didn’t know if it was sincere or not, so I couldn’t approach it properly.

Moreover, the difference in status between Anne and I is significant.

So much so that if you do something wrong, you could end up getting criticized.

For now, let’s change the subject.

“.. Huh.. That.. is that all it is about being uncomfortable?”

“Well… there are actually a lot.”

Anne speaks as she wiggles her fingers, looking a little embarrassed.

I asked just in case.

“Um… Anything other than something related to me?”

“No.”

I was right.

I was the one who made her uncomfortable.

To be exact, it might be me and my lovers, but it doesn’t change the fact that I made them uncomfortable.

“Phew..”

What should I do with this?

In order to grant Anne’s request, I have to send Bea and Agnes to another room… but honestly, I am satisfied with this life.

At least there are no days when my side hurts.

And it’s impossible to be alone again.

I’d already tried staying up all night alone for a long time, and I didn’t want to do it again.

“.. First of all, it is impossible to stay somewhere else with Bea and Agnes.”

“Yes. I was expecting it.”

Anne spoke, looking down at me with a slightly lonely expression.

I asked her one more thing.

“But.. you are also an important person to me. So, let’s think of the next best option. What do you want to do?”

“.. Low price.. you mean..?”

“Yes. I will do my best to accommodate whatever you want. But the condition is that they stay here.”

“Umm…”

Anne, who closed her eyes and pondered for a while, suggested the next best option.

“Then I will sleep with you.”
