Just looking at the results, today was a failure.

I tried my best to do this for several hours, but there was no clear result.

‘Wanting to be full at the first drink… must be greed.’

I flew with the help of the wind spirit and pondered my failure.

‘Vibrant… difficult to handle. Are others like this too? Or is it easier than others because of magic affinity?’

Magic friendly. Seeing that it can easily handle not only simple magical power but also other attribute powers, it seems like it can come to life as well.

Vitality is an ambiguous and extremely difficult force to deal with.

In the first place, those who recognize and manipulate vitality are very rare. Even necromancers rarely perceive and manipulate vital energy.

It is strange that Taesan supports such difficult recognition and manipulation of vitality, self-recovery through vitality, and even necromantic magic.

‘But I think it’ll be okay if I keep going…’

It is difficult to operate, but not impossible. Also, it seems like there is some change when I push the vitality into me.

The grain that goes in is the size of millet, and even that comes out gurgling as soon as it goes in.

But in the meantime, I felt a strange sensation.

Should I say that it is the feeling of my arms and legs being stretched out that I felt before as I grew taller?

Considering that, I think this method is the right one.

Originally, a two-story building had to be built using a resource called life, but wouldn’t it be the same reason that the result was reduced due to a lack of raw materials?

It seems that vitality is directly related to my lifespan.

In any case, if you can continue to fill your body with vitality, you can solve many problems.

Of course, it’s just pouring water into a bottomless pit rather than a fundamental solution, but you should at least try this.

‘Let’s resolve this until we reach the top of growth.’

The entrance to the pagoda is also coming soon.

The theme of the first stand is survival. The intention is to drop the cadets on the first floor of the tower and have them attack and fight on their own.

If it goes the same way as the original, the theme of the second pagoda is contemplation.

Contemplation.

Roughly speaking, it means looking at the essence of an object, and the moment they enter the Tower of Growth, all cadets face ‘me’.

The ‘me’ who is reflected in this way ends up having a conversation like a cliché that often appears in comics or games.

The task of this entry is to win from the reflected self.

‘If I enter looking like this… will I come out the same way…’

My face automatically crumpled.

When I imagined it, it looked really ugly.

Even if various means are used, it is essentially a scene of two brats waving their limbs and fighting…

I want to avoid that.

There is a lot of work to do, but we must first focus on restoring this body to its original state.

He was carried away by the wind spirit.

It doesn’t fly too high, it just floats a few meters and is moving quickly.

– …What is that?

– The way you talk is ugly. There’s something over there… What is that?

All eyes were on the unusual appearance.

In fact, seeing someone flying is not an unusual sight.

If you master magic properly, you can fly. Occasionally, you may encounter people who are in a hurry and rush by.

But my case was a little different. It wasn’t a surprise, but it had a very unique appearance, so it was perfect for attracting attention.

Hair turned as white as snow.

Blue wing clothes that follow you like a flag waving behind your back.

He was wearing a cadet uniform and had a very small, petite body…

When it all came together, I was blatantly caught in the spotlight.

Relieved that less attention was drawn to the prosthetic arm by covering it with an arm sleeve, I left my body to the wind.

The destination is the old training ground.

Master and Professor Liana will be waiting there.

I’m running out of time because I haven’t registered for the course yet, but I get the same teachings from my teacher and Professor Laina.

They also said they would give advice on course registration, so I plan to discuss that today.

“……”

“……”

‘?’

When we arrived at the old training ground, a strange current was flowing.

Master and Professor Liana are standing in a awkward position and staring at each other.

The emotions in his eyes were truly complex.

Their gazes met in the middle, and an intangible force seemed to push each other away.

[Master?]

[Professor Liana?]

The necklace clicked. The strange nervous battle between the two people stopped at the blunt voice.

Soon two eyes turned towards me.

“Ah… Yes, you arrived quickly.”

It was Master who spoke first.

Master cleared his throat and spoke in a kind tone.

The stiff expression on his face relaxed, and the raised corners of his eyes became slightly curved.

The anxiety that had been creeping up in a corner of my mind went back to sleep.

The spirit taxi, which had stopped for a moment due to a strange air current, started moving.

“But your expression doesn’t look good. What did you do again… No.”

Master suddenly closed his mouth. He narrowed his eyebrows as if he was in pain, and swallowed back the sigh he was about to let out.

“I can’t ask because I’m afraid something might happen.”

[sorry…]

[I was just testing my abilities for a moment…]

I flinched for a moment as my eyes looked like I was looking at a troublesome child.

I wanted to retaliate against that gaze, but I couldn’t because my conscience was pricking me.

“Don’t shrink like that.”

Seeing me like that, Master’s face softened and he stretched out his hand.

I know very well what the action is.

The wings of the sky swayed gently.

Riding the wind and holding me tightly in my arms…

“Why are you giving the kid a face?”

My body jolted to a halt when another voice interrupted me.

Master’s face scrunched up and he glanced to the side.

The owner of the voice, Professor Liana, glanced at the teacher, saying he was talking nonsense, and then looked at me.

The green eyes were beautifully curved and full of smiles.

It was then.

Suddenly, Professor Liana’s surroundings became brighter.

Then, when she spread her arms, her voluptuous chest was wide open.

The combination of his smile and actions, full of kindness, created a benevolent appearance that seemed to accept anyone who was foolish.

Even if you bury your face in his chest and whine right away, he will comfort you by patting your back…

‘…?’

That thought gave me a strange feeling.

Burying your face in my chest and whining. I never did that to Professor Liana…

Hasn’t that ever been the case?

My memory is strange. It seems like it exists… or it doesn’t seem to exist…

what?

[Familiar]

[Familiarity]

[Attraction]

[good]

Some emotions were mixed like dough, but it wasn’t a bad feeling.

[Soft]

On the contrary, I miss it very much…

“Disciple…?”

[yes?]

I heard Master’s voice in my ears.

I was trembling pitifully and my body suddenly stopped as I heard a voice filled with feelings of disbelief.

I turned my head to see what was going on.

…your body stopped?

‘uh?’

Only then did I feel strange.

The location has changed.

Before I knew it, I was moving towards Professor Liana instead of Master.

As if it was natural, I flew over and tried to get into the arms of Professor Liana, who had her arms spread out.

[question]

[Familiar]

There were no stutters in the process. As if it was really obvious, as if that was my place…

‘what?’

I tilted my head in confusion.

Even now that I was aware of that, I didn’t feel much resistance. Still in my arms, I felt so warm that I wanted to fall asleep.

It was then.

“Ah…! Elemental magic…!”

Master suddenly opened his eyes wide, let out an exclamation and muttered.

‘ah…’

The murmur cleared my confused head.

Spirit-friendly. Professor Liana’s unique ability. I assumed that I was also affected, but is a similar effect still applied?

Master’s body trembled. Master, who raised his eyebrows as if he was filled with anger, pointed a finger at Professor Liana.

“This, this cowardly bitch…!”

“Cowardice, what have I done that you are criticizing me like that?”

Professor Liana opened her eyes wide. The surroundings became brighter. The wings of the sky swayed gently.

Seeing that, Master’s body trembled even more.

“Can we say that modifications are cowardice? Get rid of those pheromones right now!”

“pheromone…? What does that mean? I didn’t do anything. Are you saying this because you felt something?”

An argument ensued.

The Master shot back, and Professor Liana seemed to be slyly saying it.

It was a somewhat familiar sight. When I thought about it, I often observed Hong Yeon-hwa and Baek A-rin playing like that.

[for a moment…]

[wait a minute…]

But that is that, and this is this.

I quickly intervened between the two.

The argument ended abruptly.

Two pairs of eyes were fixed on me.

Even though I intervened and broke up the argument, I couldn’t think about the next step.

He hurriedly waved his arms around, glanced around, and shook his head.

[Fight, don’t fight…]

The necklace clicked gently.

Is it because of my mood?

These days, I feel like I can even infer what kind of emotion it is when I hear the necklace clicking.

“……”

“……”

After a while, Master and Professor Liana looked at each other with strange eyes.

Afterwards, the two agreed on something with their eyes and took turns in each other’s arms.

[What about training?]

That was it.

From time to time, I held hands with my teacher and played tug-of-war with magic, and practiced magic and spirit transformation with Professor Liana, but I was missing physical training.

“Are you going to spar with that body?”

Master opened his eyes as if he was dumbfounded and asked a question while stroking my right hand.

[yes]

“Stop even if it means being considerate of the other person…”

Professor Liana, who was next to me, also pressed my cheek with a strange look in her eyes. Soft fingers pressed my cheek.

[…?]

I couldn’t do any physical training or sparring. Instead, I was held in my arms, hugged, and recharged the energy I had spent.

.

After completing my training, I went to a study room near the first-year student site.

I didn’t rent it alone, but Hong Yeon-hwa, Baek A-rin, and Elia gathered together.

Are we going to put our heads together, discuss things, and come up with a timetable?

I just received advice from Master and Professor Liana, and I plan to draw up a timetable together.

I don’t have time, so I have to squeeze it in. I have some subjects in mind in advance, so it will be done quickly.

“Don’t play tricks on my child, you… Big! You bitch like a fox.”

“What do you mean, a masterpiece? What have I done to scare you like this?”

The situation from before was repeated.

Hong Yeon-hwa growls and Baek A-rin shrugs her shoulders and complains of injustice.

I was so shaken that I drank some cold water.
