Professor Lim Sol.

Actually, it was a bad relationship at first.

When I think about it, I was the one receiving the apology.

It was a simple accident. Professor Lim Sol’s items were mixed in with the magic tools to be used in practice. Thanks to that, I almost got seriously hurt. Fortunately, I remember not getting hurt because I had [magic sensitivity].

If such an accident had happened now, the chairman would have been called in and there would have been an uproar, but at that time, I had not yet adapted to this world. So even though I was angry, I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.

At that time, Professor Lim Sol personally apologized. Of course, I wasn’t angry, but honestly, the professor was so pretty that I let it go.

Through that relationship, we continued our exchange.

Of course, it wasn’t just healthy exchanges that contributed to the development of world magic… It was an extremely abnormal interaction between a professor and a student who did dirty things to me in return for studying my magic.

Now, it just so happens that I like the professor more… Anyway, that was it.

We’ve always maintained a smooth relationship, and these days, our relationship has become even better.

Before I knew it, Professor Lim Sol had me as his student. I started calling it.

At first, it was definitely Hoyeon Lee, or Hoyeonah. It was called that.

I thought Professor Lim Sol was maintaining his distance in his own way.

Maintain distance between professors and students.

If we become too close, it could cause controversy and become awkward for Professor Lim Sol.

So, I am also a teacher. Master. It was adjusted accordingly.

however… .

When I saw Imsol looking at the demons from the sky with cold eyes, my thoughts changed.

*

The huge magic circles spread out across the sky were as majestic as a god looking down over the wide expo.

And the body of Imsol, the owner of the magic circle, slowly began to float.

“… what.”

I started talking to myself without even realizing it.

angel? Or a spirit?

Imsol, covered in blue magic, rose into the sky. It looked like a fictional being, like a unicorn or a dragon, that should not exist in the world.

Kung-kung-kung-

The entire fairground was trembling.

This is because of the magical power controlled by Imsol.

Even though he is Imsol, is it possible for him to use such massive magic on his own? And that in such a short period of time?

The surroundings were still noisy.

People who didn’t notice Imsol looking down on the fairground from the air, and people who were mine.

Explosions exploded here and there at the fairgrounds, people ran away, and demons chased after them.

The demons looted the magic tools and destroyed the magic circle.

What they want is confusion and fear. The feeling of evil that comes from there.

The purpose of the pandemic is to summon something unknown called the Demon King.

But even the invaders could not continue to ignore this dense magical power.

Jiying-

Dozens of huge magic circles floating in the sky.

This is because they slowly rotated and began to glow.

Then, one by one, the demons on the ground noticed something strange.

Anyone would be surprised if something like that was floating in the sky right now.

– Hey, what is that? Hindrance! Let’s do it!

– Squeak, block it. Stop it.

At that moment when the demons who maintained their reason and the demons who lost their reason were confused.

bang! bang! bang! bang!

Four huge pillars of light fell around Imsol, and when Imsol opened his eyes in the center, his appearance was… .

It would be enough to describe him as an angel who came down from heaven to punish evil.

Soon, light began to slowly emerge from the spinning magic circle.

“kill it.”

Pure white light descended throughout the fairgrounds.

Genius wizard Lim Sol.

It was a moment when she showed her sincerity.

The lights that seemed to shine indiscriminately targeted only the demons. Most of the low-level demons were initially swept away by the pillar of light, and although some high-level demons tried to resist, it was useless.

It was so powerful that I doubted whether it could even withstand my rune barrier.

– Oh, this fucking bitch… !

Among them, Mine, the leader of this terrorist group, cursed and raised his magic power.

It was a demon with the appearance of a middle-aged man.

Looking at Imsol’s ability to block the light emitted and use magical power at the same time, his strength was not weak.

Even if I fought sincerely, I couldn’t guarantee victory or defeat.

Since it is a place with a lot of wizards, it seems like a big name was dispatched to prepare for any unexpected changes.

The middle-aged demon pulled out a magic sphere of cloudy light and threw it at Im Sol. The magic sphere gradually accelerated as it absorbed the surrounding light and rushed towards Im Sol in a straight line.

“professor!”

Even though it was created in a short period of time, it was an incredibly powerful magic.

But contrary to my worries, Imsol was very calm.

This is because he raised one hand and caught the magic ball as if he were playing a light catch.

Quad deuk-!

Although people far away might not know, I could clearly see it.

The sight of Im Sol gritting his teeth.

And the words quietly muttered.

“it’s annoying.”

Kwasik!

Imsol, who had calculated the magical sphere in his hand, looked at the demons and muttered.

“It’s annoying. It’s annoying. It’s annoying. It’s annoying. It’s annoying. It’s annoying. It’s annoying…! It’s annoying. Garbage. On the topic of garbage. Starfish that can’t even follow my toes. Magic? Why? Why? For what reason? Die. “Die. Trash. Die…. Throw it away.”

The middle-aged Majin, who lost his will to fight when he saw that the magic sphere containing his power was blocked by one hand, looked at Imsol with a blank expression and disappeared as he was swallowed up by the light.

thud! bang! Kugoogung!

– Ouch!

– Crumbling, rumbling!

Even after leader Mine died, the lights falling from the sky did not stop.

Until all the mines hiding within the fairground disappear.

*

All the magicians at the fairground were reduced to ashes.

It was literally swallowed up by the light, leaving no trace.

Whether they were wizards, onlookers, or ordinary people, everyone watched the scene with their mouths open.

There was a woman shedding tears after losing her lover.

There were also people who cheered without notice as they saw the amazing sight.

Some people opened their eyes wide when they saw a demon who was on the verge of killing them being swallowed up by light.

There were also people who stood still like a roly-poly with their mouths wide open.

Among the wizards, there were some who shed tears of joy.

These are high-level wizards who know how great what Imsol has accomplished.

Of course I was one of them.

– That’s the genius wizard Lim Sol… .

– Wonderful magic… Hehehe. Never thought you could see something like this in life.

Some wizards looked at Imsol and expressed their appreciation.

– Yes, photo. take a picture! hurry!

Reporters who came to cover the magic fair began taking pictures.

Lim Sol’s picture will probably be on the headlines tomorrow, or even a few hours from now.

[Genius wizard Lim Sol! Single-handedly stop the terrorism at the fair!]

With the same cheap title.

Imsol came down from the sky without caring about other people, conserving his magical power.

The most efficient way to find the demon was to go up to the sky and observe it directly, so now it was time to come down.

Imsol came down from the sky, shook off the dust, and looked at me with a slightly awkward smile.

“Did you see everything?”

“… yes.”

“… Did you hear everything?”

“Uh… yes.”

I swallowed hard.

What can I say?

Do you feel distant from your professor?

I feel like I can’t deal with it as easily as before.

Because I knew he was truly strong.

He wasn’t the sloppy professor who sucked my dick every time he got the chance.

The person in front of me was Lim Sol, a real wizard who was considered the best in the world.

“… professor.”

Still, I knew one thing.

He said he was acting for me by getting so angry.

★ Heroine status window

[Imsol]

– [Likeability: 75]

– [Liberty: 50]

– [Appetite: 30]

– [Fatigue: 50]

Current status: I was in a good mood with my student after a long time. It’s all ruined.

“Well, it was cool. Really.”

I really, really appreciate the kindness you gave me.

Of course it was a little scary.

When you see someone swearing in such a vicious manner, you can’t help but feel scared and nervous.

This wasn’t my problem.

I tried to hide it as best as I could, but it seemed like Imsol could slightly read my feelings.

“Am I a burden?”

Because I said those things with a self-deprecating smile.

“No, no, I was just confused.”

I quickly protested.

Because I can’t make Im Sol misunderstand.

But regardless of my intention, Imsol continued speaking.

“It’s okay. You can call me a monster. I’m used to it.”

“Professor. Don’t say that. How can you be a monster?”

I was just a little scared, but I didn’t think it was a monster or anything.

‘… No, I did.’

In my defense, it was never meant in a negative way.

It had a positive meaning.

“But I didn’t want to show it to you.”

“… professor?”

Imsol sighed deeply and continued speaking with a self-deprecating smile.

“I’m putting up a wall. A wall that protects my pride and allows me to ignore what other people say. This is what happens when that wall disappears. What you just saw is what I really am.”

I quietly listened to Lim Sol.

“I know, too. It’s ugly, and it’s proof that it can’t adapt to society. It’s a monster that can barely even bow its head. The only thing it knows how to do is magic. That assessment is not wrong.”

“….”

“That’s why I didn’t want to show it to you.”

“… Ha, Professor.”

I sighed deeply.

How should I persuade this person?

I thought Professor Lim Sol must have been traumatized.

There were quite a few parts that I didn’t understand until now.

however… Honestly, it was none of my business what Professor Lim Sol thought.

What does it look like? What do you think?

They say it’s just pretty.

No matter what he does, the person named Im Sol will not change.

Even if everyone else doesn’t understand, I can understand.

These words had to be expressed so that Imsol could understand them well.

“Professor, don’t think it’s strange. At least I don’t think so.”

“…Then what do you think?”

Imsol met my eyes as I spoke with all my sincerity.

“yes?”

“What do you think of me? Im Sol, a social misfit and monster wizard… What do you think?”

“The professor is a professor.”

“… Yes. Thank you.”

Imsol smiled slightly and turned his head.

This isn’t it.

Imsol was smiling, but not laughing.

It goes without saying, but I couldn’t get away with something like that.

Convinced that I couldn’t leave it like that, I quickly continued.

“… To me, the professor is just a person named Lim Sol.”

Imsol turned his head and looked at me.

It’s as if he’s asking me to say something.

I had hope when I saw that there was still a ray of hope remaining in those eyes, which were filled with many emotions such as shame, helplessness, self-destruction, embarrassment, and self-reproach.

And then, I poured out the words I had been holding back.

“A person who pretends to be an adult even though there is not much of an age difference between them.”

“…?”

Imsol frowned at my sudden words.

It seems like he doesn’t know why he’s suddenly like this.

But I didn’t stop.

Because I had to let out everything I had held in until now.

“And like a child, he likes sweets. He’s a strange professor who thinks he’s the most special in the world, ignores all other wizards, and even leaves important tasks to his students.”

“What are you saying now….”

Just before Im Sol gets angry. I spoke out what I had prepared.

“But you look cute that way.”

“…Wh, what?”

At the same time, Imsol’s eyes opened wide.

The face that had been filled with displeasure turned into embarrassment.

“The way he smiles brightly after eating chocolate, the way he is happy after finishing his magic research, the way he whines every day that others don’t understand, but is more sincere than anyone else when he teaches magic class. It’s all cute.”

“What are you saying? You, you really…!”

Imsol rolled his eyes back and forth as if he was embarrassed.

“A person who prides himself on being the greatest wizard in the world, but feels pressured by it. A weak person who calls himself a monster but wants someone to care for him. I like Professor Im Sol like that.”

“S-stop. Please….”

Imsol looked around to see if anyone would hear and put his hand up to cover my mouth.

I was so embarrassed that my face turned bright red.

“Keu, keuh… keuhke.”

Seeing Professor Lim Sol’s disheveled appearance for the first time, I burst out laughing for the first time in a long time.

“You, you. Do you really want to get scolded? Even pranks should have a limit. This isn’t a prank, it’s just unpleasant, and… ugh….”

“Professor, what I want to say is.”

Imsol’s face became increasingly red, and I squeezed her hand as she moved to cover my mouth.

The cold hands seemed to represent Lim Sol’s lonely feelings.

I made eye contact with Lim Sol, who was filled with embarrassment. Looking at the shame and tears streaming down his face, he seems to be quite embarrassed.

Holding back laughter, I continued.

“Don’t push yourself too hard. I don’t care no matter how strange the professor does. That’s because it’s Lim Sol.”

Im Sol, a social misfit who has known nothing but magic his whole life.

I am not sure if I will be able to break the trauma that has built up over time.

But I believed in the distance we had created and the connection we shared between us.

And fortunately, my move seemed to work.

This is because Imsol’s miserable expression began to change little by little.
