Although he skipped most lectures due to his weakened physical condition due to the ordeal of Gyeophwa, he did not miss mentoring with Jiyeon Lee.

Fortunately, there were no lectures with collaborative assignments in progress, so I was able to skip them easily.

Attendance issues can be handled through sick leave, and missed progress can be made up by submitting assignments.

It may be a bit tiring to have to process so much accumulated material, but I am thankful that my grades don’t suffer.

However, mentoring with Jiyeon Lee causes damage not only to me, but to Jiyeon Lee as well.

It’s okay for me to cover the backlog of assignments with a little hard work, but Ji-yeon Lee’s schedule gets disorganized as well.

Of course, being pushed back just two or three times won’t cause any major problems. The schedule is not strictly adhered to, and there are many cases where the schedule is pushed back.

However, I decided to proceed with the mentoring because I was not a seriously ill patient who had difficulty moving around and it did not take a long time.

Instead, Hong Yeon-hwa and Baek A-rin, who had just finished sparring with me, decided to accompany me. The reason was that fear could become extreme and dangerous at any time.

Jiyeon Lee was given permission. I secretly asked him via text message, and he agreed to meet me after a long time.

“Did you say you were learning necromancy from Jiyeon?”

A brisk walk to the meeting place.

Hong Yeon-hwa, who was enjoying the gentle breeze, suddenly looked in this direction and asked.

“Yes, Taesan… It’s famous for necromancy. I also want to learn, so I’m asking my senior.”

I nodded and raised my hand. Soon, a ghost-like ghost appeared on my palm.

It is a ghost extracted from miscellaneous monsters, and it looks like a colorless haze.

It wasn’t very useful. It is possible to inhabit a corpse, but great performance is not expected. The role of a meat shield is also acceptable.

‘If it doesn’t work out, I’ll have to use it as firewood for the apocalypse.’

Because it burns all kinds of things like yellow rice in a country house. It might be possible to raise the output of the monster at once by throwing down all the miscellaneous commands that have been collected.

As I thought this to myself, the spirit placed on my palm trembled.

“Oh… Have you already joined? There really is nothing Hayul can’t do.”

Hong Yeon-hwa bowed down and looked at the command on her palm and exclaimed in admiration.

“Heehee.”

The corner of Hong Yeon-hwa’s mouth twitched automatically.

Compliments from someone who likes me are truly sweet. Even if you regain your sense of taste and eat plenty of sweet cookies and cakes, you won’t be able to enjoy the same sweetness as you do now.

“It hasn’t even been long since the mentoring started, but you are already handling commands? You learn really quickly.”

“I’m not even good at basic magic… How many talents does Hayul have… ”

Hong Yeon-hwa mumbled and asked as she unzipped the thin windbreaker draped over her shoulder.

The zipper was pulled upward, and the pure white flesh that was visible to the eye disappeared.

The strong smell of milk that was blocked by the windshield suddenly became lighter…

“… … ”

I closed my mouth for a moment. Feeling a sense of shame and regret, I raised my head from down.

Our gaze met with jewel-red eyes.

Her eyes looked at the place where my gaze was directed, and her eyes, which had blinked for a moment, became beautifully curved.

Hong Yeon-hwa gently pinched my cheek.

“Hmm… Just wait until night. Got it?”

“Yes… ”

“Yes, nice.”

These days, sleep isn’t something I’m afraid of.

In the past, I had severe insomnia, and even if I fell asleep for a short time, I always had nightmares, so I hated sleeping, but these days, when I fall asleep in someone else’s arms, I don’t have any nightmares.

If you close your eyes and enjoy the warm body temperature and regular heartbeat from the soft touch, you will fall asleep without even thinking about nightmares or insomnia.

I nodded my head quietly, looking forward to the happiness I would feel tonight.

“To prevent you from getting scared while you sleep, I have to sleep next to you too, right?”

“Noisy.”

The meeting place we arrived at a short time later was a natural park with a large lawn.

A variety of flowers are planted around the park’s walking trails for something to see.

With shadows cast under sparsely planted trees, the park was perfect for laying down a mat and enjoying a picnic.

‘The dormitory is close by, so should I come out with Seoyul?’

It would be nice to just pack a lunch and go out for some fresh air.

After observing the surroundings for a while, I went inside.

Jiyeon Lee was waiting for us sitting on a bench under the shade of a tree. He was staring intently at the hologram with his chin resting, and the sight had quite an atmosphere.

This was especially true because Lee Ji-yeon’s colors were natural colors such as green and brown. The hologram color is also set to green.

Jiyeon Lee, who was staring at the hologram, looked up at the sight.

Green eyes blinked, taking in the group, including me.

At that, I bowed my head.

When I heard that I would not be able to attend the lecture due to the ordeal of fear, I received a flood of text messages saying hello.

Among them, there was a text message from Lee Ji-yeon saying hello. I expressed my gratitude in reply, but I also planned to say thank you in person.

Now that I think about it, I think we’ve built quite a bit of friendship. Since I have debts I previously paid off in China, shall I take a stab at the fairy thing?

[Thank you for your concern]

[Fortunately, there is no problem with the body─]

“Heee?!”

[─It was… ?]

Lee Ji-yeon’s eyes widened as if in shock.

Afterwards, he threw his body violently on the bench with a strange scream, as if he had stepped onto a hot frying pan.

The moment my body froze at the sight of that strange sight, she hurriedly rushed at me with her arms flailing around, snatching me up and burying me in her arms.

My face was buried between voluptuous breasts.

[?]

A question mark appeared above my head.

Hong Yeon-hwa’s face distorted.

* * *

I felt like I wanted to scream and faint.

I opened my eyes, which were trying to close tightly, and looked down at Lee Ha-yul, who was in my arms.

A sweet scent that keeps touching the tip of your nose, and a small body that exudes a warm and soft sensation.

Such stimulating information was conveyed to my five senses.

Jiyeon Lee looked at Lee Ha-yul again with her sixth sense, which she had already opened.

Recognition of vitality through Taishan. Expand the scope to look at the vitality of others who do not belong to the earth. Although it is a very difficult application method, Ji-yeon Lee can somehow use it.

I looked at Lee Ha-yul again through him.

An empty bowl. A void that is extremely empty, and contents that are still subtle but are clearly disappearing as if evaporating…

‘No, what the hell…’ !’

The vitality I had fully charged up last time is already on the verge of depletion.

Jiyeon Lee’s eyes trembled at that fact.

Lee Ji-yeon herself worked hard to replenish her vitality to the point where she was bothered for a day or two, but no matter how much time has passed, she is running out again.

What on earth are you doing out there, gambling with your life?

I even had a dizzying thought that I might suddenly collapse somewhere like this.

‘I’m scared… ? Will there be an impact?’

Lee Ji-yeon, who was so shocked, suddenly remembered Lee Ha-yul’s condition.

The ordeal that comes with the change of fortune. Because of that, I missed most of the lectures. I vividly remember the time I sent a text message saying hello.

I’m scared… That may have had an impact.

Considering the nature of fear, it does not make sense. Isn’t this the most damning ability among the three great families’ unique abilities? The most common way to kill a manifester is to scare them.

Of course, I don’t know for sure.

In the first place, no one can be sure of Lee Ha-yul’s current status.

That’s because two of the unique abilities of the three great families are contained in one person’s body.

Taesan and Gyeophwa.

Abilities that have never been mixed throughout history are being expressed in a single entity.

No one knows what is going on.

‘No, I have to fill it with vitality first… ‘

Jiyeon Lee shook her head. This is not the time to dwell on such concerns.

First, let’s fill up the vitality that is missing. Right now, Ji-yeon Lee doesn’t have enough energy, so she can’t fill it up, but at least in moderation…

“Sister.”

It was then.

A cold call pierced my ears. Jiyeon Lee’s shoulders were shaking with a violent force that made her body feel like it was freezing for a moment.

He raised his head stiffly, and contrary to his cold voice, I saw eyes glaring as if he would burn me to death.

“Sister, do you want to look after me?”

“Hiik… ”

“What are you doing now?”

It was a scarlet lotus flower with red blood-red eyes. Hell fire burned in those eyes.

Jiyeon Lee took a deep breath.

The title “sister” and the minimum level of respect… It didn’t feel like a big deal.

The emotion in his eyes and voice was so strong that it felt like he was tearing himself into a thousand pieces and burning himself.

Pap-duk! The bloody sound coming from Hong Yeon-hwa’s tightly closed mouth made me feel like my life was in danger.

What if Hong Yeon-hwa attacks? It was supposed to be resistance, but I wasn’t confident that I could win even after going to the poetry cradle for a year…

“Ji-yeon? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Why do you embrace people as you please? ”

Baek Arin, standing next to her, did not have pretty eyes either.

At first glance, her complexion was as soft as usual, but Lee Ji-yeon, who grew up with Baek A-rin as a child, could tell.

Baek Arin was feeling something displeased right now. Those disapproving gazes are now directed at Jiyeon Lee.

Suddenly, a memory from her childhood surfaced in a corner of Jiyeon Lee’s mind.

Although it was a time when each other’s unique abilities were not revealed, their temperaments were revealed.

The tendency to be active and take action and the unique innocence of a child… Memories of being tormented by Hong Yeon-hwa, armed with cruelty…

I tried my best to resist, but as I looked down at Ji-yeon Lee, who had fallen for the trouble, I felt pure… Hong Yeon-hwa, who was smiling cruelly, and Baek A-rin, who was giggling next to her…

Of course, it was just a memory from childhood, but the emotions left behind by the countless hardships still remain deep in my memory.

They were definitely good younger brothers, but I also had some memories of being tortured…

Jiyeon Lee’s shoulders shrank. Naturally, the arms came together, and Lee Ha-yul, who was in his arms, was buried deeper.

Hong Yeon-hwa’s eye glow became even bloodier.

‘… ?’

The bloody momentum intensified… Jiyeon Lee felt a strange feeling.

I read the emotions contained in the gaze that was staring at me as if I was going to tear myself to death.

Anger and hostility.

and…

‘jealousy?’

Jealousy, envy, envy…

Lee Ji-yeon blinked blankly, not noticing Hong Yeon-hwa’s fist shaking as if she was about to strike at any moment.

Jealousy is the feeling of envying someone who is better than you.

These are the feelings that Lee Ji-yeon had for Hong Yeon-hwa.

I was jealous of Hong Yeon-hwa. I was jealous of Baek A-rin. I was jealous of my mother.

Although Lee Ji-yeon showed off her unique abilities, she did not receive the same level of praise as them, nor did she receive similar expectations.

Because my talents were relatively limited, I was often compared to those around me, even though I pretended not to be.

now… That feeling was reversed.

Hong Yeon-hwa was fiercely jealous of Lee Ji-yeon.

“… … ”

I felt complex emotions that were difficult to fathom. It’s hard to interpret… It’s a strange feeling that makes one’s heart heat up…

– Tuk-tuk

[excuse me… ]

[Can you please release it now?]

“Ah, ah, yes… ”

Lee Ha-yul, who felt a violent force that made him feel like he was about to throw his fist in, hurriedly tapped his waist.

Only then did Ji-yeon Lee let go of Lee Ha-yul with a blank expression.

– Ugh…?

Lee Ha-yul’s body, which had escaped from his embrace and was retreating, shook for a moment.

[huh?]

Lee Ha-yul opened his eyes wide, which he had not been able to close, and quickly covered his mouth with both hands.

My stomach felt bloated for some reason.

It was in a state where something had been filled in a short period of time.
