While in the North, Luke plans to hide the tower.

An emergency meeting was held on Ellin’s side.

“First of all, let’s scrap the cool girl concept.”

Bena, who was pounding on a blackboard from an unknown source.

There was an X drawn across the word ‘cool’.

“Then I have to stick to it again in the same way?”

“If you treat them the same, they will only stay the same in the future.”

Todododo.

Bena drew a line dividing the two on the blackboard, writing strengths and weaknesses.

“How to maximize your appeal by knowing your own charms well.”

Benna wrote ‘Cool’ on the weak side.

“Your goal from now on is to abandon all your weaknesses and maximize your strengths to seduce Lord Luke!”

“… … !”

Elin’s stupid hair stood on end.

It was a perspective I had never considered before.

I thought I just had to attract attention.

Thank you for providing such a systematic solution.

As expected, he was a love expert acknowledged by Ellin.

“Let’s start with the weaknesses first. What weaknesses can you think of, Your Highness?”

“Weakness… ?”

If you ask people to immediately name five of their strengths and five weaknesses, it is human nature to stop thinking.

But Ellen can list ten good points without stopping.

They were a special group who couldn’t even mention their weaknesses.

Well, the self-esteem monster Luke created thought he was perfect.

“Should I put the key first?”

“… Yeah.”

Except for the height.

“I think being sexy might be a bit difficult, so I put it as a weakness.”

… without the sexiness.

“Kindness, gentleness, and warmth are all considered weaknesses.”

“… … ”

5 weaknesses that can be filled in an instant.

Elin, who felt somehow wronged, hugged Nia tightly.

“I’m warm… or not?”

“Ahahaha… I don’t think this is the warmth that Bena is talking about?”

Nia smiled as she stroked Elin’s head.

“Oh… You’re unconsciously demonstrating your strengths.”

“Huh?”

“The princess’s greatest strength is this…!”

Bena writes cuteness in large letters under her strengths.

The letters were much larger than the five weaknesses combined.

“What are your other strengths besides being cute?”

“The original strength is that it’s really scary to cut just one.”

“… Is that so?”

“They say that someone who has practiced one sword technique ten thousand times is scarier than someone who has practiced ten thousand sword techniques once, right?”

Ellin, who was about to say things like beauty and intelligence, tilted her head.

That’s because what Bena said seemed to make a lot of sense.

“Then you mean I should act cute?”

“What… You don’t have to do that. The princess is cute enough without resorting to aegyo.”

However, Bena added,

“Never say you like someone first. And don’t even bring up marriage.”

“… Why?”

“That way, Luke will be able to seep into the princess.”

To summarize Bena’s explanation, it was like this.

1. Pretend to give up and give in with words.

2. But the action is much more active than before! Luke’s heart melts as he clings to her.

3. Luke is confused by his contradictory words and actions. He becomes increasingly concerned about Elin, and when he comes to his senses, he finds himself completely in love with her!

It was the so-called Little Devil-Elin Operation.

“Will that work? The teacher only sees me as a child.”

“So you have to mix in a mature look too!”

Bena beat her chest as if she was frustrated.

Fluffy.

There was no noise because of the excellent cushioning.

Tingle-

As Elin’s eyes became sharp.

Bena, who was very nervous, quickly added.

“Yes, for example, there are things like that, right? Being kind to others, doing volunteer work, or whatever, appealing to things like that!”

Bena placed both hands on her waist.

“I am no longer a child! I am already an adult who can help others!”

“Oh… … .”

Does that make sense?

Elin is hesitant.

Bena grabbed his hand and pushed him.

“This is the charm of reversal. A cute student to me. No? A cute student ‘only’ to me. Acts like an adult outside, but shows off her cuteness when she’s with Luke.”

Now, Bena, who even spits out breath, has come to an end.

“That’s how you get people’s attention and imprint them as ‘special people’!”

Let Luke seep into you by showing him a side of you that you don’t show to anyone else.

Ding-

The paper is ringing in my head.

“… I understand perfectly.”

Elin added strength to the hand she was holding with Bena.

Cool-Elin has evolved to the next stage!

* * * * *

“I got them all.”

“Already?”

Luke, who was reinforcing the magic circle, raised his head.

It seemed like he was flicking through the long-distance communication paper a few times.

You’ve already recruited all the manpower to build the Magic Tower?

What kind of connections does a person who only stays in the lab have…?

“Yeah, they’re my students.”

“Yes?”

therefore.

You’re telling me to bring all the students in the lab up north and have them build a magic tower?

“I’ll cast a warming spell on you too, so what?”

“… … ”

“Why, why are you looking at me so scary?”

“I thought of a way to become a hero to the students.”

“Don’t do it even if you don’t know what it is… .”

Lanian slowly took a step back.

And then boom.

My legs slipped out of my sight and I fell backwards.

“Ouch!”

“I don’t think this will appease the students’ anger.”

“Tsk tsk tsk. What are you talking about since a while ago… .”

Lanian spits out the snow that entered his mouth.

He checked the long-distance communication paper with the twinkling notifications and then said to Luke.

“All the materials are ready. Open a portal to my lab.”

“… Is that what we agreed on?”

“So you said you’d come. How excited must you be to say you’d come straight to the north?”

“Sup… … .”

No matter how much graduate students are treated as slaves, they are still real slaves.

Is it okay for a person to be like this?

I opened the portal with serious thought.

“Hic…! Look at the wind blowing, it’s really blowing!”

“Then would the professor have lied?”

Then, six students came straight through the portal.

As soon as he came over as the last conscience, he cast a warming spell.

“I can do it.”

“I’m better than you.”

“Tsk. What unlucky words are right.”

Luke, who took it as a compliment, looked around at the students.

Dark circles covering his cheeks, as if to prove that he is a disciple of Lanian.

He had a thin and skinny body, probably because he didn’t even eat and just stayed in the lab.

This makes me really sorry.

I was wondering if I should send it back even now.

“Hyeop… .”

One student covered his mouth and began to shed tears.

A surprised Luke checked the situation.

“Why are you like that? Is there something wrong with you?”

Was there a mistake in the warming magic?

That can’t be happening.

“I’m a fan. I didn’t know I’d be able to meet you in person… .”

“… … ?”

I was speechless at such an absurd answer.

Naturally, I turned my gaze to Ranian.

“What did you do to the students?”

“What am I?”

“What did I do to have fans? Did you use some kind of brainwashing spell on me?”

“Am I a warlock?”

Lanian let out a hollow laugh as if he was in awe.

“The head of the immovable, the founder of the unique magic, a genius wizard who is better than the president. And recently, there was an article that he raised Princess Elin. Isn’t that enough to make him a child’s idol?”

The student who had been wiping away tears took something out of his bosom.

“I have all the papers that Luke said he studied…!”

“No, why that… .”

Why do you have all these papers that you just threw away while researching space magic?

Is this some kind of goods… something like that?

The fan appeal didn’t end there.

“I used the crystal ball with Ranian… .”

“Oh, I’m trying to find all the spells that Luke used to recreate spatial magic… .”

I should have known from the moment you said you were Lanian’s disciple.

Everyone’s eyes are gently rolling.

What on earth is Luke so obsessed with?

“Even if it’s Luke, I can’t stand people cursing at Luke… !”

“… … ”

At that point I gave up on understanding.

Well, it’s understandable that graduate school life would make you mentally and physically unstable.

Enough to make me a fan of my senior wizard.

“When I told them my story, the kids said they really wanted to help me.”

“What kind of wizard are you raising?”

“Still, they are all very talented.”

Lanian avoided eye contact, perhaps feeling embarrassed.

He calmed the students down by clapping his hands.

“Okay, okay. Don’t be so excited. Luke said he’d sign it when the tower is finished. Can you all cheer up?”

“I will complete it within a week!”

“One week? I can finish it in three days.”

“What? Then I can… in one day… .”

“Ha! If you do it in one day, I can do it in half a day―”

“Quiet, quiet!”

Lanian calms down the students who are having a strange competition.

“You never do what I tell you to do… .”

After taking a deep breath.

Luke pointed to the magic circle he had drawn.

“As you can see, he’s already completed all the magic circles that will enter the magic tower.”

“Oh… That’s the special that Luke developed―”

“From now on, anyone who opens their mouth will be forced to dismantle 1000 cursed scrolls like last time?”

Students who became mute as if it were a lie.

“… Did you say it like last time?”

“Ahem.”

Lanian continued speaking with a satisfied expression after squashing Luke’s doubts.

“So just bring the materials and build it. Everyone knows how to use summons and can use physical strengthening magic… Let’s get started right away.”

Clap clap.

The students dispersed in unison as soon as they clapped their hands.

I looked at the magic circle.

As if he had a rough idea, he went into the portal connected to the lab and took out the materials.

Summon an eye golem to carry materials.

By combining it with a magic circle, the building was steadily built.

This is why architecture using wizards is convenient.

If only we had a few great wizards.

Because we can achieve incredible efficiency with minimal manpower.

“Oh, right. Can I stop by the rooftop with the kids later?”

“How can I say no?”

You can’t say no to a person.

I can’t wait to hear from you to help me out like this.

Anyway, I’m going to pass it on to Ranian after using it for a few years.

“I think I should say that I’m going to raise the magic tower now. Open a portal to the Glaze Duke’s House.”

“Yes.”

Exactly.

Luke snapped his fingers.

Lanian crosses the portal.

I wondered if Luke could help me with something… .

“Nononono, please let us do it.”

“No, it’s faster if you help with space magic, so that’s why―”

“Hey! You’re slow! Move quickly!”

“… … ”

I felt like I was going to make the students work even harder, so I quickly got out.

Luke has nothing to do.

I was just standing there, wondering if I should just go back to the academy.

Ukshik-

“Cool… .”

Mana spat out blood with a feeling of her heart tightening.

Blood scattered across the pure white snow.

Luke quickly opened a portal and cleared out all the snow.

A mana heart that throbs as if someone is calling it.

I raised my head.

From afar, I could feel the energy emanating from the cave where Bertain was sealed.

“… Do you call people like this, without saying a word?”

I guess it’s about time to go and look for it.
