The emergency measures were a success.

Unfortunately, Lee Ho-yeon’s kick did not have much effect.

Am I putting too much emotion into it? Or maybe the combination of poison and Heimlich Maneuver was a bad combination.

Rather than kicking, it would have been better to use magical power to remove the poison from the beginning.

Seongmin Moon lost consciousness and fell to the floor.

Although the poison has been removed, it is still in a dangerous state.

It wasn’t strange that I fainted.

‘… It’s probably not because of my kick.’

As soon as Lee Ho-yeon finished first aid, Moon Su-rin approached.

“Ah, Dad, are you okay? Why are you suddenly bleeding… and kicking…?”

“… It’s poison. Suicide poison.”

“poison…?”

“Yes. First of all, I prevented her from committing suicide by making her spit out poison, so I will leave the rest to Sister Surin. Either talk to her or make her pay.”

With Lee Ho-yeon’s magic skills, most of Moon Seong-min’s poison was removed. The poison already absorbed into the body is quite dangerous, but… you should be able to survive for a few hours until Baek Ah-young comes.

After that, the handling of Moon Seong-min will be left entirely to Moon Soo-rin.

If Moon Soo-rin puts her mind to it, it would be possible to use the power of the academy to make Moon Seong-min’s crime disappear.

Of course, Sister Surin won’t do that.

“Thank you, Hoyeon. Thank you so much.”

“What did I do?”

Ho-yeon Lee smiled cautiously while looking at Su-rin Moon, who was crying.

In fact, Nam Da-eun’s contribution is greater than his own.

I was able to catch it like this because it blocked that annoying escape ability.

Moon Su-rin smiled slightly with red eyes.

“… But what were you doing here?”

“yes?”

“As far as I know, this is a high-end restaurant where reservations are difficult to make. I was planning to come later with Hoyeon… but we were eating together, right?”

Moon Su-rin’s voice sank slightly.

Hoyeon Lee quietly looked back.

Liliana and Scarlett looked like they didn’t know anything, and Nam Da-eun and Rebecca smiled awkwardly.

Behind them, Irene and Dr. Hyorin Kang were looking at me with strange eyes.

In the meantime, Kang Hyo-rin was laughing heartily, wondering what was good, but for some reason, that laughter was annoying.

“… It’s a meal. A simple meal that anyone can cook.”

“With so many women?”

“Uh, it just so happened… I wanted to get to know each other.”

Ho-yeon Lee muttered, avoiding Su-rin Moon’s gaze.

‘How did you end up in an atmosphere of questioning me?’

Didn’t I do really well?

He subdued his father-in-law, and prevented his selfish suicide to gain peace of mind by dying alone.

I was feeling quite proud.

Why am I being questioned?

“Sister. It’s not like that. Just a simple meal….”

“Something like that? What is that?”

“….”

“Cough. Cough. Cough.”

When you are thinking about what to excuse this situation.

Moon Seong-min, who was behind him, made a groaning sound as if he had come to his senses.

This is an opportunity. My father-in-law is repaying me for removing the poison.

Ho-yeon Lee immediately looked at Seong-min Moon with a worried expression.

“Um… Sister Surin. First of all, let’s go to my father-in-law…”

“… Ugh, let’s talk about this later. You have to come to the student council president’s office.”

Moon Su-rin looked at Lee Ho-yeon for a moment, then eventually approached Moon Seong-min.

I thought I could talk to Lee Ho-yeon later.

“Dad, Dad… Look at me now.”

“… Surin. I am not worthy. I am not worthy to see you.”

“Anyone can die however they want. Dad must atone to me and grandpa for the rest of his life. I will never let him die.”

Moon Su-rin grabbed Moon Seong-min by the shoulder and shook him.

Isn’t that the place where Nam Da-eun was cut off earlier? Even though it was re-established with Mine’s vitality, it still hurt.

‘But you still talk to your daughter.’

Lee Ho-yeon sighed and took a step back to distance herself from Moon Seong-min.

We need to give the two of us some alone time.

It’s not my place to intervene.

Ho-yeon Lee approached the women gathered in a huddle behind him.

It was only after listening to Moon Su-rin that I realized that, except for Kang Hyo-rin, they were all women I had relationships with.

I asked Baek Ayoung for help, so she will come soon.

… Isn’t this causing some problems?

No, let’s understand the situation first.

It seems like he came here to help Moon Su-rin, but just in case, I’ll have to hear it from Irene’s own words.

“… So what’s going on? Why is everyone here? Are Irene and Dr. Kang Hyo-rin helping Sister Surin’s investigation?”

“Well… yes, that’s true, but why is Scarlett with you…”

“Ah, ah. I’ll go there myself.”

“This will explain it.”

“…?”

The answer came from next to me.

This is because Scarlett approached Kang Hyo-rin, holding her back.

*

Lee Ho-yeon nodded after hearing the explanation of Kang Hyo-rin, who was captured by Scarlett.

“Aha. So… the tickets Dr. Hyo-rin Kang gave us were actually designed to entice us for insurance purposes?”

“… The main purpose was to support the two of you on a date. It’s not insurance, it’s a bit like Plan B. I never thought I’d bring a young child…”

“If I make a mistake, we all almost die?”

“Until we die… you and Scarlett. Cadet Nam Da-eun is also strong.”

Lee Ho-yeon smiled as she saw Kang Hyo-rin avoiding her eyes.

There are people in this world who have no conscience like this.

“There are people like this. Are you a professor? Scarlett, get out of this job right now.”

“I still plan to do so. I will submit my resignation tomorrow.”

“No, Scarlett… I’ll give you a raise…”

That crazy professor.

I thought Im Sol also failed as a professor, but wouldn’t he be better than that person?

Lee Ho-yeon looked at Kang Hyo-rin apologizing to Scarlett and then turned her head.

“Umm… baby daddy. Are you okay?”

“As you can see, it’s fine.”

“I guess so. I’m glad.”

“Rebecca looks fine… Scarlett looks fine too. Thank you for your support, Da-eun.”

“No. Hoyeon did a good job.”

Ho-yeon Lee felt reassured when she saw Da-eun Nam’s smile.

Having strong women behind you makes fighting easier.

“I still don’t know why I’m doing this.”

“… Rebecca or Da-eun will explain that later. But Da-hee did a good job protecting herself.”

Hoyeon Lee praised Liliana and looked toward the entrance of the restaurant.

Civilians had already evacuated a long time ago, and the Hunter Association rushed to provide assistance.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Irene was talking to people as the representative.

She has also established herself in the Korean branch.

“Yes, yes. No. We at the Iris Guild… Yes. We will discuss details with the Academy…”

Of course, it would be right for Moon Su-rin to step forward, but Moon Su-rin was currently talking to Moon Seong-min.

Irene knew that too, so she desperately stayed where she was.

At that time, the association members began to move around and build a road. A woman burrowed in between them.

“Wait a moment. I’ll pass by. I told you to come here… Ah, Yeop… Hoyeon. No, Hoyeon cadet…”

“Yes, Mr. Ayoung. Here.”

“Uh, yes. Hoyeon.”

It was only after Baek Ah-young heard Lee Ho-yeon’s name that she approached with a smile.

Baek Ah-young, who was happy to see Lee Ho-yeon’s face, hardened her expression when she saw the numerous women, but when she saw Moon Seong-min lying down, she put on a serious expression again and approached Moon Su-rin.

“Saint…!”

“Student President. Please explain the patient’s condition.”

“Poison, I took poison. I took first aid, but my condition is not good. Saint, please….”

“It’s okay. Because I came. …Huh? Rather than the poison, the lacerations on my shoulder and bruises on my stomach are more serious…”

Even though I’ve heard of medical terms, I don’t really understand them.

Hoyeon Lee turned his head and looked at the women.

“… Shall we run away?”

“Run away? What?”

“I like that too. If I stay here, I’m going to get into trouble.”

“Yes, baby daddy. I don’t like being bothered either.”

“I will take care of Dahee.”

If we wait until everything is sorted out here, things will get very complicated.

Let’s leave for now and make excuses later.

While Irene deals with the association’s members and Baek A-young treats Moon Seong-min.

Hoyeon Lee secretly left the half-destroyed restaurant.

Lim Sol’s lab.

Imsol hummed and continued filling out the documents.

She was in a good mood these days.

The progress of magic research was not progressing well, and it was not because the Wizards’ Association was holding back their noses.

Of course, requests came in every day from the Wizards’ Association for help interpreting key spells… but that didn’t make Imsol feel better.

There is only one reason why Imsol is in a good mood.

This is because our student’s respect for his teacher has grown.

It’s the same because I come to visit more often than last time, and the level of magic increases every time I come. It looks like he’s getting special training at home.

As a teacher, you should naturally be happy.

“A year? No, is one year too early? Two years…?”

Hehehe.

Im Sol remembered Lee Ho-yeon’s face with a happy expression, as if the magic experiment had been a great success.

At least in a few years, I will be able to compete with myself.

I can’t help but be happy that the results are as expected. Having a handsome face is a bonus.

Knock knock.

“Yes. Come in.”

Im Sol opened the door to the laboratory using magic.

There is no need to check who it is.

There are only two people who visit Lim Sol’s lab without contacting him.

They are Lee Ho-yeon and Baek A-young.

Among them, Hoyeon Lee always announces her presence in the lobby. The only person who would knock on the door at this time without contacting me is Baek A-young.

“Ayoung… Huh? What? What’s wrong with you?”

“Huh. Ugh…. Huh… Sol. Sol….”

As expected, the person who came in was Baek A-young.

I thought she would come and chat as usual, but as soon as she opened the door, she shed tears like chicken shit and hugged Lim Sol.

Sniff. Sniff.

Hehehe.

“What’s wrong, Ayoung? Huh?”

“I, I… huh. huh….”

“Sit down and don’t cry. I’ll give you a cup of coffee, so calm down and talk.”

“Hmm. Hmm… Give me bitter Dutch coffee. My heart, my heart… Hmm.”

“… okay.”

Imsol smiled wryly and moved his fingers, and a flying kettle brought out coffee.

I bought coffee but never drank it because it was too bitter. Imsol held out a coffee cup to Baek Ayoung.

“Sip, sip, sip, sip, sip, sip. Wow. Cough. It’s so bitter.”

“So what’s going on? Is it Hoenn?”

“Huh, how did you know? Are you one of them too?!”

“… What are you talking about? If you’re crying and complaining, who else would Ho-yeon be? I’ll listen to everything, so don’t cry and talk slowly.”

“Well, that is….”

Baek A-young began her story in tears. After receiving a call for support from Ho-yeon Lee, he was dispatched to the Victoria Building, and when he got there, he was enjoying a meal date with five women other than himself. The story is that after enduring the surprise and treating the patient, he went to find Lee Ho-yeon, but he was already gone, making him very sad.

It was only then that Lim Sol looked at Baek Ah-young’s condition. There was dust all over the body, and the sleeves were stained with red blood. It looks like he came right back here from the scene.

“So… why are you crying in my lab?”

“I thought I was first. Hmm. Ugh….”

“… What does the story you said have to do with first place?”

“Uh, that’s it… eating together at such a nice restaurant… with other women except me…”

“Have you never eaten alone with Lee Ho-yeon?”

“Of course there is….”

“Eating alone with one person is better than eating with five people. Because you are recognized as much as the five people.”

“…Is that so? Is that really true?”

“If you think about it the other way around, you get more love, and you feel sorry for those five people.”

Im Sol patted Baek A-young on the shoulder as if comforting her.

Of course, she couldn’t understand what was the difference whether there were five people eating or just one person eating.

But if I say that, Baek Ayoung won’t stop crying.

After hearing Lim Sol’s consolation, Baek Ah-young finally nodded and brought coffee to her mouth.

sniffling.

“Ugh. Sol. Wizards are smart, after all. Hoyeon is smart too, right?”

“Yeah. Well, I guess so.”

Im Sol accepted Baek A-young’s whining and swallowed her sweet latte.

‘…were there that many women?’

In fact, Im Sol also had a rough understanding of Lee Ho-yeon’s relationship with women.

I knew a lot from the beginning, but among the women I heard from Baek A-young, there were women Im Sol didn’t know about.

… Even though I pretended not to care, I was worried deep down.

– Practical professor sparring plan

Imsol rechecked the documents she had filled out before Baek Ah-young arrived and stuck out her lips as if she were uncomfortable.
