Victoria Academy held faculty and staff meetings every Monday.

Although he was a guest professor, his position was as a faculty member, so Lim Sol was forced to participate.

“So this time, President Lee….”

Of course, by Imsol standards, it was a waste of time, because it was no different from a faculty meeting or a social gathering.

The actual meeting time is about 30 minutes.

Most of the time is spent chatting about various things.

“Ahaha, the grade manager is really fun.”

“Professor Park doesn’t have a funny sense of humor? Hehehe.”

ha ha ha.

The sound of laughter echoes throughout the conference room.

While there were professors who created that kind of atmosphere, there were also people like Dr. Hyorin Kang who openly did something different.

But no one thought of leaving.

After all, those people were paying their own salaries.

“ha….”

Im Sol sighed as he looked at that.

Everyone has the name of professor or doctor.

It’s like they’re trying to flatter me by calling me a senior just because I started teaching a few years before them.

Imsol hated this culture.

And actually, there was no need to notice.

Because he was a guest professor who was directly invited by the chairman and president.

I had something to suggest about experiential learning today, so I tried to wait until the meeting was over, but there was no sign of it ending.

“Dean of grades.”

In the end, Im Sol joined them while they were laughing.

“Oh, yes, Professor Lim Sol. Do you have something to say?”

“I want you to quickly review the materials submitted for tomorrow’s experiential learning project.”

“Ah…you seem to be in a hurry. Please wait a moment.”

The grade manager smiled kindly at Lim Sol’s sudden words.

Rummaging through-

The grade manager who found Lim Sol’s document among the piled up materials nodded and read the document.

“Very good. Cadet Ho-Yeon Lee is the pride of Victoria Academy. I think it would be good to have Professor Lim Sol directly teach him.”

“Then I understand that you give permission.”

“Well, of course.”

Phew.

Did I sit for two hours to listen to this?

“Then I’ll go in. I have a lot to prepare for tomorrow’s magic fair visit.”

Lim Sol conveyed his thoughts to the grade director who was leading the meeting.

“Hmmmm. Yes. Rest in peace, Professor Lim Sol.”

The grade manager, who was laughing empty-handedly, opened his eyes wide and immediately nodded.

“thank you.”

Nod.

The grade manager just accepts others’ favors without notice, but he is not a bad person.

That’s why Imsol also had the bare minimum of courtesy.

Lim Sol lowered his head and left the conference room without making eye contact with the other professor.

The conference room was quiet for a while after Imsol left, but soon whispering began to be heard.

“What’s going on? You’re going to a magic fair? Normally, I wouldn’t even bother looking at magic that’s lower level than mine.”

“That’s right. The professor who wasn’t interested in those around him?”

“You take someone who has no social skills and call him a professor… tsk tsk.”

“That’s what I’m saying. If you want to be called a wizard, you have to be polite to your seniors….”

The subjects of the conversation were mostly magic professors.

The magic professors were still dissatisfied with Imsol using the entire second floor of the Magic Hall.

They also hated seeing Lim Sol’s behavior, which was not polite by their standards.

In reality, it was a dull feeling of inferiority that did not want to admit to being inferior to a younger woman in terms of skills, but most people avoided that sense of inferiority and attacked Im Sol.

“….”

And Im Sol, who was listening to the sound outside the door, slowly moved his feet.

She didn’t cut off communication like this from the beginning.

It wasn’t difficult. It’s not just wrong, it’s just different.

As if he was born with a talent for magic.

Other people seemed to have a natural talent for conversation.

The society of wizards is very narrow.

Imsol also tried to fit in with the wizards at first.

However, regardless of Lim Sol’s intentions, most of the people he was talking to at some point were frowning.

And then you turn around and say that you are unlucky, that you think you are the center of the world.

Lim Sol poured out words he had never said or even thought about.

In the end, Imsol gave up communicating with most people.

It was better to leave only unique people like Baek Ah-young, Min Ye-ji, and Lee Ho-yeon, and give up talking to other people.

It was a way of living that came from countless attempts and long experience.

It’s not that I’m not interested in others.

They just excluded Im Sol.

Of course, there are ways to communicate.

Im Sol is giving up everything.

All you have to do is throw away your petty pride, bow to your seniors, treat them with respect, and show respect to them.

You have to do that if you want to survive in a world where you can’t see a talentless person obsessed with magic and say, ‘You don’t have talent, so you better find another way.’

All you have to do is hide your true feelings and wear a false mask.

But Imsol was not born that way.

Imsol did not love magic from the beginning.

Imsol, who was excluded from them, was able to make them feel bad using magic, and fortunately, magic was what he was best at.

In the end, all that was left for Imsol was magic.

That’s why she loved magic.

“ha.”

Imsol sighed again today and headed to the lab.

Because there is still some magic research left to be done.

“I’ll be back!”

“Dahee, you can’t scream.”

Tuesday morning.

At the entrance, Nam Da-eun and Nam Da-hee were putting on their shoes.

“Thank you, Scarlett.”

“It’s okay. It’s my job.”

In order for Sister Nam Da-eun to get out of the men’s dormitory, Scarlett’s help is essential.

I went out with Scarlett when she wasn’t around, but I have work to do today.

Because I have to go to the Imsol and Magic Fair.

“Scarlett. You have to come back quickly. I’m bored.”

“Okay, don’t worry.”

“Take care of your home, Liliana.”

I said, stroking Liliana’s head.

“Don’t worry. I’ve been protecting it so hard until now.”

“Isn’t it frustrating?”

“Yeah, it’s okay. Scarlett is there too.”

“It’s okay to walk around with Scarlett, so if you feel frustrated, you can go out.”

Unlike her other sisters, Liliana does not move around.

I’m worried that I’ll feel stuffy if I just stay at home.

“Hmm… not really? It’s not that great outside.”

“Okay. Buy whatever you want.”

“The card is mine, so don’t even think about taking it.”

Still, I’m glad there are a lot of people in the dorm.

Because Liliana doesn’t look bored or depressed.

“Good luck to you, Da-eun and Da-hee.”

“Yes, brother!”

“Are you coming to the academy later?”

Nam Da-eun looked at me saying hello and asked.

“I think it will come, but you never know.”

After briefly saying hello, I left the dormitory first, waving to Liliana, who was wearing sweats.

This is because we have to go straight to Professor Lim Sol’s lab.

‘This is my first time not taking a class legally like this.’

I told Lucy and Rumi during class yesterday afternoon, so they won’t worry if I’m gone.

‘Ellis… ‘You won’t worry, right?’

I headed to the magic hall while watching the cadets going to school.

And then I found a familiar silhouette in front of the Magic Hall.

Shiny silver hair.

And the familiar light blue robe.

A person standing with his back and looking at the sky in the clothes I often see.

She slowly turned around, as if sensing my presence, and opened her mouth with a slight smile.

“Uh, did your student come?”

Of course, it was Professor Lim Sol.

Magic Fair.

When you come up with a name, it seems boring and it seems like wizards who just study in a closet will come out, but surprisingly, that’s not the case.

It was a high-quality event held at regular intervals where wizards looking for new magic circles or research topics shared information with each other.

Of course, it’s a bit different from the general public, but it can’t be helped. It’s a magic fair.

Imsol and I arrived at that place.

I opened my mouth as I saw Imsol in a crowded place.

“But is it that outfit again?”

“What the heck. I change my clothes almost every day.”

“…almost?”

Lim Sol wore the same style he always wore in the lab. It is a fashion that pursues extreme comfort: an oversized pink plain T-shirt and black leggings.

I came to the magic fair as if I were going to a convenience store in front of my house, wearing only a light blue robe.

Of course, I’m not in a position to discuss fashion while wearing a cadet uniform… I’m not guilty because I have to take classes in the afternoon.

“Yes, almost every day if I’m not busy with research.”

“…Ah, yes, I understand.”

Things like that happen, too.

It doesn’t really matter whether you change your clothes every day or not.

Being pretty is important.

“Where should I start? Do you like magic tools? Or magic circles?”

“Let’s go to a good place. I don’t really care.”

“Yes, yes. Then let’s go to the magic tool.”

Imsol’s expression was ambiguous.

Sometimes it feels good, sometimes it feels bad.

It felt like somewhere in between.

★Heroine status window

[Imsol]

-[Likeability: 70]

-[Liberty: 50]

-[Appetite: 35]

-[Fatigue: 55]

Current status: Ha… It’s nice that I came with my friend. There are too many people. I get annoyed when I think about old people.

After looking at the status window, I nodded.

“…Um, go this way.”

“Yes, let’s go.”

It looks like something unpleasant happened.

Still, I’m glad you listened to me.

After a while, we arrived at a place where magic tools were on display.

“This…even considering the useless formula, the efficiency is good. Especially this explanation….”

And I was able to see Professor Lim Sol’s eyes sparkling.

‘You say it’s boring, but you really like it.’

Imsol secretly smiled. As expected, he is a wizard so he seems to be interested in things like this.

I also stared at the magic tool next to me that had [2AILL-1JQOT60] written on it.

‘I can’t tell even if I look at it.’

Of course it looks good. But the magic I use is more efficient.

“But this is too bad. My computing power deteriorated during the process of engraving the magic circle. If it were me, I would have used the core technique… Oh, I haven’t announced that yet. And then I made it resonate….”

I guess there is something to learn from the eyes of a wizard.

I’m good at using magic, not that I know it well.

In terms of academic factors, it is still far behind Imsol.

“Professor. Now let’s go watch something else.”

I grabbed Imsol’s arm and forcibly led him, who was muttering to himself about improvements in magic tools.

This is because the eyes of the wizard who submitted the magic tool were getting bigger and bigger as he listened to Imsol’s words.

I can’t give this valuable information away for free.

Who is your teacher?

“It’s still not enough….”

The professor’s eyes were still fixed on the magic tool.

This person is strangely only serious about things related to magic? Anyone who sees me will think I’m a ghost who died because I couldn’t study magic in my previous life.

“I have a lot of time. It’s hot. Would you like to go to a cafe for a while?”

It’s good because I finally have something to talk about.

I grabbed Imsol’s arm and dragged him away.

Grumbling-

‘uh?’

When I looked away for a moment, I read a strange magical power in my eyes.

It was a kind of dark, if I were to be specific, evil-feeling magic.

‘this… Isn’t it? I’m a little confused.’

Because there was so much magical energy coming out of the venue, it was difficult to find the evil magical energy that disappeared in an instant.

“Professor. Did you notice anything strange?”

“This uses a newly discovered method, right? The composition of the magic circle has changed, and the method of moving the tool….”

“Oh, really. Come this way first.”

The first thing to do is to calm down Professor Lim Sol next to me.

I must have been mistaken, seeing as Professor Lim Sol didn’t say anything.

I took Professor Lim Sol with me and headed to a cafe that had a sign saying “Refreshing Coffee.”
