When I try to use the expression ‘world view’, it feels a bit like the story of an idol group, but in any case, in the world view of the martial arts people, a teacher is like a parent.

‘There are even places where teachers are viewed more highly than parents, depending on the faction’s tendency.’

This is mainly true for sects with strong Taoist or Buddhist tendencies… Well, in any case, for the martial arts people, a teacher is a heavenly being.

But, beyond dating a teacher like that, you have sex with him and even have a child with him?

This was an act that was tantamount to immorality from the perspective of the martial arts people, who had the idea of ‘teacher = parent’ deeply embedded in their minds.

However, since it was said that such things happen very commonly in the Magic Tower Alliance… Dang So-so and Ha-yeong, who have a strong identity as martial people, could not help but be shocked.

“Uh, how could you do such a presumptuous thing…”

“You mean blasphemy? What on earth is blasphemy?”

“A teacher is like a parent. But to form a relationship with such a being…”

“Ah, such a setting?”

As Helena, who was born and raised in a place where such things were quite common, she could not understand the reactions of those two people.

‘Is this a cultural difference or something…’

By the way, a teacher and student couple…

If you just listen to it, it’s something… but it might be surprisingly ugly, right?

Of course, think about it once.

The sight of a beautiful female teacher who was very strict and cold in the classroom, lying underneath me at home.

‘After fucking all night, if you make me stand in front of other kids with my uterus full of semen… oh wow…’

These guys from the Magic Tower Alliance… I thought they were saennim who only knew about research, but surprisingly, they might have been the ones who knew about romance…

“Look. Soohyun is also excited. In some ways, the bond between a teacher and a disciple is a very natural phenomenon, right?”

“How natural!”

“Oh, well, the Murim people have not yet escaped their old-fashioned customs, right? If that’s the case, then it’s not something I don’t understand.”

“What are the old customs?”

“Seniors and elders take charge of teaching those who have just entered the workforce.”

Helena explained that in the past, the Magic Tower raised its disciples in that way, but that is no longer the case.

“Then how does Magic Tower educate new recruits?”

“Usually… I assign a senior of the opposite sex who is not much older than me as a mentor.”

“Not the same sex?”

“From what I heard, they tried it too, but they said it had more side effects than positive effects, so they changed the route to the current method.”

Well, if you put people of the same gender together, it’s obvious that time that could otherwise be used for education will be wasted on discipline.

“With that kind of system, there will be limits to the supply and demand of high-quality human resources, right?”

“That’s true. But what can you do? Those at the elder level and above are so busy just handling the tower’s affairs.”

What if the Magic Tower was in the form of a secret society like it used to be, before it took control of all of Europe?

The elders would also have been able to focus on the education of their disciples as before.

“At that time, administrative tasks that occurred while operating the tower could be covered by both the tower owner and the sub-tap owner.”

But now?

Helena explained that this was not the case at all.

“From recruiting new disciples to the tower to things that happen in the city you are using as a base… the number of things you have to deal with has increased overwhelmingly. Well, the power of the Magic Tower has also become stronger.”

“Umm···.”

“It can be said that it is thanks to this background that the position of elder, which was virtually an honorary position in the past, came to have real power.”

It is said that this is actually why she declined the position of elder.

Even if he rose to the position of elder at a young age, there was no benefit to him other than the superficial honor that the title of youngest elder gave him, so he didn’t feel the need to rise to that position.

“Becoming an elder doesn’t mean I have to stay in my office and work all day, but there are still a lot of things I want to research. One of them is Su-hyeon’s body.”

“···.”

“Well, as I was talking, the explanation went into a strange place for a moment… but I wanted to tell you that if it was because you were concerned about the fact that they were a teacher and a student, then you don’t have to worry about that.”

On the contrary, if that fact reached my uncle’s ears, instead of thinking it was strange, he would understand it and think, ‘Well, indeed… they ended up falling in love…!’

“And if this happens… there is no reason to reject my offer, right?”

“That’s…”

It was exactly as he said.

The reason I was reluctant to accept Helena’s proposal in the first place was not because the proposal itself was bad, but because I thought it was unrealistic.

But that is the reality of the Magic Tower Alliance…

“Ah, just for your information, we at Magic Tower tend to think quite positively about bigamy. So… even if your relationship with Mr. Soso becomes known, there will be no problems because of it. ···Maybe?”

Probably, Rani.

The ending is a bit uneasy… but anyway, it’s open to that extent.

Well… if this is the case, it’s really strange to reject it…

Was I not the only one who had such thoughts?

When Tang Xiaoxiao glanced back, his face was stiff and scary.

“Would you ever consider pretending to be a lover with me?”

that word.

The moment those words, which were spoken as if to say, “I want to eat a meal,” flowed into my ears, a breath of air escaped between my lips.

In fact, that was the reason why they were unable to actively respond despite Helena’s brutality of proceeding with the conversation as she pleased without receiving consent from this side.

That’s right… because it felt like I hit the nail on the head.

Because those words, spoken in an effeminate tone, penetrated the essence of the relationship between Su-hyeon and her with frightening accuracy.

‘no way···.’

Do you know something?

So, while pretending to make a suggestion to Soo-hyeon, I intentionally made that comment…

Is it because I was literally stabbed in the heart by a person I had no idea about at an unexpected time?

I was so embarrassed that I even had that thought for a moment.

Of course… regardless of whether I felt that way, I already knew.

That the possibility of that happening is very low.

‘Or perhaps…’

In the process of interacting with Soo-hyeon, he probably spilled the truth about the contract without his knowledge…

Once my thoughts exploded, I couldn’t seem to stop them.

It continued to expand without stopping… and eventually it got to the point where I doubted Su-hyeon.

But that won’t be possible.

If you look at what he does on a daily basis, he seems very light-hearted, but he is surprisingly a deep and serious person.

Even though I know that fact, the reason I keep having negative thoughts is because I’m anxious.

Yes, I was anxious.

That’s right… because I realized it because of Helena’s comment just now.

Because I realized it.

How much his relationship with Su-hyeon is built on a precarious foundation.

How unstable is the foundation itself in the first place?

Anything built on top of it will shake and collapse if an opportunity arises.

‘Luckily I survived this time…’

Will this be possible in the future?

Even if it gets shaken again, will it remain as strong as it is now?

It would be nice if I could say with confidence that of course that was not the case… but it was just sad that I couldn’t.

In the first place, the relationship between her and Soo-hyeon was established by mutual needs.

That meant that it was a relationship that could be broken up at any time if either he or she no longer felt the need for it.

Until now… I thought it didn’t matter though.

Rather… he proposed a ‘contract’ to Su-hyeon with the aim of making that happen.

In the first place, what she was interested in was recovering her friend’s body, which had fallen into Su-hyeon’s hands, and not the individual named ‘Yoon Soo-hyun’.

So… there was a time when I thought about putting it to good use and then getting rid of it.

I knew at the time that it would end up like this.

So I can’t help but laugh.

‘That’s why…’

The institution called marriage was created.

In the past, I thought it was really useless, but now that I’m in this situation, I feel like I understand.

So… I wanted to tie down the person who first came up with the institution of marriage.

I loved the other person so much that I became so anxious that I tried to tie the other person by my side forever, even by borrowing the power of the law.

They must have wanted to be bound together as a couple, not only while they were alive, but even after their bodies had turned into dust.

···Just like she does at this moment.
