“Professor Rupert, the more I look at you, doesn’t he look handsome?”

The female students attending the art history class began to chatter as they watched Rupert leave after class.

“Actually, he may be a little lacking compared to people like the Third Prince or Adrian, but he is still charming.”

Recently, there has been a sharp increase in the number of female students at the Academy who have shown a liking for Rupert.

In fact, Rupert himself didn’t really care much about his appearance, but regardless, his face was definitely handsome.

However, unlike the statuesque Edric or the gentle-looking Adrian, when he has a blank expression, he looks very cold, which used to prevent women from approaching him.

His stock has begun to soar since his family, Somerset, was recently created a marquess.

The reason he captured the hearts of women was because he was young, had a solid family background, had outstanding abilities, and was handsome.

Of course, if we look at it simply in terms of popularity, the third prince, Edric, or Prince Adrian of Sylvania were higher.

If their status was so noble that they were like sour grapes that could not be eaten, then somehow Rupert’s popularity was also increasing due to the distance between them that made it seem as if he could reach out and grab them.

“Professor, please eat this when you leave.”

“Thank you. I will enjoy it.”

And recently, there have been frequent incidents of female students boldly expressing their feelings for Rupert.

There were two people who took offense to this.

“Then, Miss Isabella, would you please come out and interpret this formula?”

“I…Is that what you mean?”

“Was there another student named Isabella?”

Isabella, who had been attending a liberal arts class on understanding magic, walked towards the blackboard with a thoughtful expression.

‘What the heck is this?’

The equations written all over the blackboard were something she couldn’t understand.

Of course, I had studied hard in class and thought I had some talent for magic. But no matter how much I looked at this formula, I couldn’t understand it.

“This is a simple formula for calculating the constant of coordinates when fixing the magical coordinates! If you can do this easily, you can use magical transformation in real life!”

“… Yes.”

“If you are a student at the Imperial Academy’s Faculty of Magic, you should definitely do this. These days, there are people who are distracted by other things and neglect their duties as students, which is studying!”

Pot!

As Xenia explained the formula to Isabella, her voice grew louder and louder, and eventually even sounded angry.

Jenny, who had been speaking in such an angry tone for a while, suddenly created flames in her hands and continued speaking in a low voice.

“As an assistant professor at the Academy, I absolutely cannot tolerate this!”

“… Yep!”

Isabella’s answer came out without her knowing it.

‘Living? This definitely felt like living… .’

She clearly felt, for some reason, a sense almost like a prophecy that if her answer had been just a little later, something bad might have happened.

***

“I liked it first! I knew it from the beginning!”

Xenia had been having a hard time controlling her anger whenever she saw girls showing interest in Rupert lately.

Clearly, I didn’t like the fact that those who had initially been resentful and arrogant toward me because I was a young professor were now shamelessly showing affection towards me.

“Xenia, today at dinner with Professor Rupert, we had to talk about cards… .”

“Master! Today is really an important day!”

“No… No matter how much Professor Rupert asks, I can’t give you the ultimate rare card separately… .”

Eustace stuttered involuntarily at the sound of his disciple Xenia’s new voice.

‘I used to be a gentle child…’

When Xenia returned after completing her mission during the vacation, she was completely different from before.

First of all, there was a big physical change. The girlish appearance of before was completely gone, and now Xenia had become a full-fledged lady.

Not only that, in the past, it was normal to feel anxious, nervous, and tense as if this place was not my place.

Now, for some reason, I was proud of my student who confidently expressed his opinion, but I also missed the old days because he had changed so much.

“It’s the first day I have an appointment with Professor Rupert alone, so I can’t ruin the mood by bringing up the card topic!”

It’s just a card.

Yustav was extremely upset by his disciple’s words, not knowing how much humiliation his master had suffered due to not having the ultimate rare card.

“You don’t know men yet.”

“Yes?”

Eustace couldn’t understand why Xenia was fidgeting and not knowing what to do before dinner with Rupert.

‘If Professor Rupert wasn’t a eunuch, there’s no way he wouldn’t like Xenia.’

This was not an evaluation made by me as a disciple, Xenia.

Although he himself seemed unaware of it, Yustav had recently witnessed countless instances of the male students at the academy turning their heads as if Xenia were some kind of magnet whenever she passed by.

Yustav knew very well that the sensual charm that came from her red hair and curvaceous body was something that any hot-blooded man would inevitably fall for.

“First, you need to change your clothes.”

“Clothes?”

“Professor Rupert hasn’t gotten there yet, because they’re surrounding the grove.”

“But this robe was given to me by the Master himself… .”

The robe that Xenia wears every day was the first gift Yustav gave her after accepting her as his disciple.

That’s why she treasured them as much as Rupert’s books.

“I appreciate that you treasure the gift I gave you, but isn’t this the time for a showdown?”

When Yustav heard from Xenia who her rivals were, he was fired up.

‘The royal family and the Duke of Bluewell… I too must exert my power for the sake of my disciple.’

Although he did not have the power of an imperial or ducal family, Yustav had something they could not provide.

As the greatest wizard on the continent, beyond the empire, with just one word from him, all wizards, including the Magic Tower Lord, will join forces to help.

“All afternoon classes are canceled today!”

“Yes? But suddenly… .”

“It’s okay because sometimes a vacation is a gift to students!”

First, Yustav thought he should take Xenia to the capital’s best clothing store.

‘This teacher will definitely make you a winner.’

Of course, it was 99 percent out of love for his disciple, but he also had a tiny bit of a feeling inside that if things went well between Xenia and Rupert, he might just give her a few cards.

***

“Uh… Welcome, Xenia.”

“Am I too late?”

“No, I just got here.”

On the second floor of a high-class restaurant where not even nobles can make a reservation, Rupert, who had arrived first, was flustered and cut off from speaking when he saw Xenia, who had arrived a little late.

“Oh, are my clothes too flashy?”

“No, it suits you very well.”

The reason Rupert couldn’t help but be flustered was because of the red dress Xenia was wearing.

The dress, with its deep plunging neckline and revealing shoulders, attractively showed off Xenia’s body shape.

-This is a kick.

Xenia was also embarrassed by the revealing clothes she was wearing for the first time in her life, but she had no choice but to wear them due to her teacher’s strong recommendation, almost coercion.

And he was so nervous that everyone from the store employees to people on the street were staring at him, his expression almost frozen.

‘Do you like it, Rupert?’

Xenia overcame her embarrassment and raised her head slightly to look at Rupert.

And when she saw Rupert staring at her intently, she felt a sense of confidence.

In fact, I couldn’t believe my teacher, Eustace’s boasts until I came here, but now that I see Rupert’s reaction, I’m starting to wonder if his advice really works.

however,

‘Wow! This is totally the look of a red-hot witch?!’

The original Xenia’s appearance has definitely become similar to that of the original witch, Hongyeon, due to her sudden growth.

‘I’m saying that the look was disappointing.’

If there was one thing that was disappointing, it was that the clothes were typical wizard robes, so it didn’t give off the feel of the crazy witch from the original.

Since he was the most impressive villain in the original work, I wanted to see him in real life at least once.

Finally, when Xenia appeared in an outfit that reminded him of the original, Rupert’s eyes were drawn to her without him knowing it.

“Isn’t it too hot these days?”

And Xenia, who thought that her gaze was the result of her and Yustav’s strategy, displayed her second instinct.

‘You have to use your strengths!’

It’s embarrassing to even think about, but Xenia is pulling one of her body parts, which she herself said was her strength, with both arms and slightly fanning it with her hands.

Yustav was confident that this one would probably be the end of it.

“It’s gotten a little chilly at night recently, but isn’t it still hot when the sun is up?”

“Yes?”

“My little sister is also into Elsa again these days, so I made her a toy to play with in the Ice Kingdom… .”

It was nice to hear a response to Xenia’s words, but the problem was that it wasn’t the reaction she had expected.

“Ms. Xenia, you should also listen to what Yustav says! I really don’t listen to you these days, so I’m having a hard time.”

“Yes… .”

Rupert starts complaining to Xenia about how his younger sister Ada has been disobedient lately, and ends up nagging her to listen to her teacher, Eustace.

‘What! Why are you treating me like a child?’

Clearly, Yustav and Xenia’s plan wasn’t bad.

If a man were to see Xenia for the first time, there was a very high chance that he would fall for her temptation.

but,

‘Youstaff is still a child, so you need to teach him separately how to imitate adults.’

Rupert didn’t take into account the fact that he had already seen Xenia’s original form first.

In Rupert’s mind, Xenia was still a small, frail girl who hid behind her teacher, Eustace.

In comparison, Xenia was still just a slightly larger Senna to Rupert.

But what Rupert didn’t know was that Xenia’s physical growth was hindered simply by her unique Draconian bloodline.

In fact, he was older than Rupert is now.
