Chapter Index

    The time was a few hours before the two met in Theia.

    Song Yu-hwan’s mansion.

    Song Xia, who was preparing for school in her room, frowned.

    “Lady! You are wearing the emblem incorrectly!”

    said the young maid who had been helping her with her makeup and hair since morning.

    At those words, Song Xia looked at her reflection in the mirror.

    Long silver hair that flows as pure white as silk thread was Song Xia’s trademark.

    After the semifinals of the last Academy Competition.

    She cut her long hair into a bob.

    ‘It’s an emblem…’

    The change of heart was significant.

    Loss in the semifinals. And her inner feelings were confused by the rapidly changing power structure of Theia Academy.

    -There is no need for meaningless pranks anymore. Aigis activities end here.

    Song Xia’s father.

    An order was given from Song Yu-hwan.

    The last semifinal was a complete loss for Aegis.

    Aigis, a named party since high school, lost to the unknown party Ignition.

    Even the Ignition party leader was Lee Jun-woo, who was expelled from Aigis.

    Through his father’s control of the media.

    The circumstances behind it and the news that would harm Song Sia’s name were quickly deleted.

    It seems that my handsome father was also very disappointed.

    Aegis activities were banned.

    And instead of Aegis. He was ordered to join Theia’s elite cadet organization, True Opposition.

    “You’re pretty… I hope your new emblem suits you well.”

    However, I was not used to wearing a different emblem instead of the Aegis emblem that I had become accustomed to.

    The maid who helped him get to school this morning was new.

    And the influence of Aegis. Regardless of his background, he seemed to admire him quite a bit.

    To Song Xia, such admiration from others meant nothing.

    Even the True Opposition emblem, which every cadet in Theia aspires to.

    ‘It’s meaningless…’

    I felt somehow empty.

    I didn’t have any affection for Aigis in the first place.

    The person she had affection for was Lee Jun-woo.

    Aegis without Lee Jun-woo was nothing but a waste for Song Xia.

    Ahn Yu-min and Ha Ye-eun are also colleagues from the same party.

    On the contrary, deep down, we were worse than others.

    Because the fact that I had a connection with Lee Jun-woo was very annoying.

    “……”

    But as expected, I didn’t feel that good in the morning.

    Due to the dissolution of the Aegis.

    It seems as if the close battle with Lee Jun-woo, who was already very close, has completely disappeared. It was because of that ominousness.

    ‘I miss you… my whole body… feels like it’s drying out.’

    As much as I sucked blood with the power of Jinhyeol.

    Although she was sure that she entrusted Lee Jun-woo to her household.

    All that confidence was my own illusion.

    So much so that it was possible to compete head-to-head with An Yu-min’s freezing skills.

    Lee Jun-woo’s hidden talent is unprecedented in Theia and even in the hunter world.

    That kind of Lee Jun-woo.

    No matter how much blood flows.

    As a half-vampire, it seemed like he could block his hypnotic powers.

    ‘What should I do… what on earth should I do… to win Lee Jun-woo’s love?’

    And that vampire recoil returned to her body like a curse.

    Although I won’t die as quickly as my mother did.

    Every time I thought of Lee Jun-woo, the desire to suck blood filled me, and my whole body felt as if it would be torn apart.

    But more than the physical pain.

    The pain of the reality of not being able to get closer to Lee Jun-woo no matter what. The pain in her heart was making her suffer even more.

    I sat in the back of my private car and took a moment to catch my breath.

    Soon the driver drove toward Theia.

    Song Xia kept thinking about Lee Jun-woo.

    ‘Now Aegis is as good as disbanded… If there is a last chance…’

    Still, I didn’t know there could be hope in unexpected places.

    ***

    External problems are starting to affect the internal as well.

    The chaotic atmosphere in Seoul was also spreading to Theia Academy.

    Although it was possible to hide it during the tumultuous war period.

    My father’s finest.

    The light of the emulsion was pressing the underworld and villains over a wide area.

    Of course, before the Apostles of Valhalla.

    Even the Hunter Association, which had power in the Awakened society.

    There are many non-apostolic cadets at Theia Academy.

    Large-scale group training and final exams coming soon.

    There was a high possibility that Theia’s academic schedule would become a proxy war for the chaotic Awakened society in the future.

    ‘Pro-True Opposition. To a pro-student council affiliate.’

    As the finals of the competition were postponed indefinitely.

    Instead of competing against each other, it’s the final exam score.

    It was like a battle of pride between opposing forces.

    ‘Of course, the anti-Apartheid faction’s forces are much smaller.’

    The core of the True Opposition faction is Yoon Geon-woo.

    In many ways, this was Yoon Geon-woo, who did not have a good relationship with Lee Jun-woo.

    Lee Jun-woo has never made his position public.

    The cadets thought of Lee Jun-woo, who became the star of the semifinals, as the leader of the anti-Apostles faction.

    Also, since Song Si-ah has joined True Opposition.

    Unlike Aegis, which was neutral.

    It was as if Song Xia had completely become enemies with Lee Jun-woo.

    ‘Head hurts. So we have to do something to turn the situation around.’

    Suddenly I remembered the rules of the final exam.

    A survival match in which all first-year cadets participate.

    But it couldn’t have been a purely individual exhibition.

    The cadets of True Opposition are outstanding.

    Through those final exam scores, the Apostle of Valhalla will be promoted on a large scale.

    As an opposing force, it was nearly impossible to get good grades on the final exam.

    ‘Capital of power. The level of each cadet is also very different.’

    So Song Xia had a headache.

    Now that he has become Lee Jun-woo’s enemy.

    Her mind was very confused.

    However, my father’s command was absolute.

    If you refuse to join Apostles.

    The father is the one who will find the cause and create a situation in which Song Si-ah must enter the Apostles.

    ‘I’ll make it happen even if it means expelling Lee Jun-woo.’

    So Song Shia obediently accepted her father’s command.

    But because of that choice.

    It felt like the relationship between me and Lee Jun-woo had become so distant that there was no turning back.

    I could not show favor to Lee Jun-woo like before.

    Father’s right hand man. Kim Ji-hoon, the assistant secretary, is keeping an eye on the relationship between the two.

    But not all hope was lost.

    Although he is an apostle of Valhalla, there is severe discrimination based on his family background.

    If your father is a talented person who will surpass even his background.

    An elite party directly under your control. I was somehow scouted by Yuje’s light.

    ‘okay. If you recommend Lee Jun-woo as an apostle of Valhalla…’

    Because of Lee Jun-woo’s personality.

    I know you won’t like the Apostle of Valhalla.

    But that’s a story from the past.

    ‘Lee Jun-woo also experienced fame. Even after becoming an apostle, it’s different from the time when being a casual hunter was the limit.’

    In the semifinals, Lee Jun-woo made a great performance.

    Lee Jun-woo cannot be unaware of his own fame.

    Just like a sports player who performed well in an international competition transfers to a prestigious club.

    Lee Jun-woo’s perspective and thoughts must have also changed.

    ‘If I can convince you…’

    If he somehow gets into True Opposition.

    As she is Song Yu-hwan’s daughter.

    There is ample possibility to create a new relationship with him.

    The position previously held by An Yu-min at Aegis.

    This means that something may happen that monopolizes Lee Jun-woo’s attention.

    That’s how I finished school.

    Song Xia headed to the wizard class building where her lecture was held.

    And in the middle of the campus, I ran into Lee Jun-woo.

    “Lee Jun-woo? Junwoo Lee! Talk to me for a moment!”

    But Lee Jun-woo also seemed lost in thought.

    I followed him for a while, and only then did Lee Jun-woo look back at himself.

    Song Xia spoke to him with eyes full of hope.

    ***

    “You want me to join True Opposition?”

    It’s morning, but May is now quite warm.

    The two had some time before the first period lecture in the morning started.

    I briefly took a seat with Song Sia, who had called me over.

    In fact, no matter where she was talking, no one would interrupt her.

    It was like that even when I was in high school.

    The reality for the cadets was that no one dared to make eye contact with Song Xia.

    She is Song Yu-hwan’s daughter.

    If you showed interest in his private life for no reason.

    Either way, there is nothing good about life as an awakened person going forward.

    So it doesn’t matter where we can talk, and I didn’t really want to move either.

    Song Xia took me to a shelter in a building with few people.

    “Yes. Isn’t it a good offer?”

    Song Xia is still not used to seeing that short hair.

    I thought again about the suggestion she gave me a moment ago.

    A suggestion to join True Opposition.

    And he said he would give me a position as an executive at True Opposition.

    I saw the Apostles emblem on her shirt.

    ‘After all, it’s True Opposition…’

    The story between the original and reality was greatly different.

    In the original work, Song Si-ah does not leave An Yu-min’s side and remains in Aigis until the end.

    Although there was external pressure from Song Yu-hwan to join True Opposition.

    He refused his scary father’s orders and chose friendship with An Yu-min.

    But in the current reality. For these two people, such friendship would not be as big as a grain of sand.

    ‘Well, so it’s only natural.’

    Just by Song Sia’s participation in the Apostles.

    The power structure between Theia factions is a completely different story.

    The existing Apparelz is a dual system of Song Ji-min and Yoon Geon-woo, who are Song Sia’s cousins.

    However, when Song Yu-hwan’s daughter, Song Sia, joins Aparcels, the members of Aparcels have no choice but to be loyal to Song Sia.

    ‘No matter how much I hate the half-race. ‘Because she is Song Yu-hwan’s biological daughter.’

    So even I, who is from Goa.

    This meant that with the power that Song Xia had, she could instantly make her an executive of Apostles.

    Of course, it was ridiculously unconventional treatment.

    ‘Do you really want to make me your own person to that extent?’

    It has already finished sucking blood from me.

    He even became a marionette because of his extreme obsession with me.

    Although we all knew that Song Xia wanted me as the opposite sex.

    So much so that the term character collapse comes to mind.

    The Song Sia in front of me was doing emotional things that the original Song Sia would never do.

    “I want to hear your answer!”

    Song Si-ah, who was emotionless, had an urgent expression on her face and was urging me to answer.

    I followed her wishes and immediately answered the suggestion with a smile.
