203 – Moonlight Night (3)
I proceeded with the class after making a promise with Dan Ye-rin that was not a promise.
The class itself wasn’t as special as I thought, but it was similar yet different from the first semester.
You receive self-training or training from a trainer every Wednesday, and you go through various practical training on the rest.
I passed the practice easily, as always. Most first-year students’ practical training is close to training.
The professors actually conducted the practical training without me. Breaking balance and preventing accidents or something like that.
Furthermore, he asked for understanding that next week’s practice could also have restrictions rather than restrictions.
I’m not sure what kind of practice it is, but it’s clear that it’s difficult to achieve balance.
Anyway, I was able to end the day normally. Now all that’s left is to relax…
“As I said in the morning, starting today, I will teach you various subjects. Among them, I will focus on mathematics.”
“I don’t like it.”
“No. You should at least learn basic academics so you won’t be ignored. As I said before, it’s a waste to use that good head only for headbutting.”
I couldn’t control it. I hated studying, but Grace was so stubborn that I ended up learning.
Types of studies include mathematics, philosophy, science, history, ethics, etc. I focused on the basics.
“Today, I’ll teach you the simplest math first. Now, here’s the book.”
“What is this?”
“It’s basic math that nobles learn. I’m a wizard, so math is important.”
Magic is related to language, so why not math?
But mathematical logic is not there for nothing. Mathematics is an objective study that excludes human emotions.
Language inevitably contains human emotions, and mathematics can capture these and operate more efficiently.
Even the magic that Godin is currently researching may be deeply involved in mathematics. It’s that important.
“Formulas are important, but the most important thing is mathematical logic. Application, not cramming. Did you know?”
“Yes.”
“And morals. In fact, perhaps this is the most important.”
Grace especially emphasizes that it is more important than math. Honestly, morality is easy.
Of course it is easy to learn, but in this difficult world, morality is nothing more than a luxury.
As the times change, it is rare for morals to work properly.
Even at the academy, violence broke out when bored.
‘You just have to memorize it.’
Application will vary depending on the situation. I learned it from Ellie, so I’m not very impressed.
“First. Protect what you need to protect at the risk of your life.”
“Yes.”
“Second. Respect and protect the weak. Third. Do not carelessly insult others. Fourth…”
“······?”
Wait a minute. The more I listen to it, the more I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere.
I couldn’t remember where I heard it, but I definitely heard it.
However, I did not inquire because each and every word was correct and had a lot to do with morality.
I just thought it was like that and moved on. Anyway, normally I am a moral person.
‘It just causes accidents.’
With that in mind, I received education from Grace. She taught better than I thought, so it wasn’t boring.
In particular, since it was my first time teaching, I often stuttered. This was kind of cute.
“That’s all for today. Thank you for your hard work.”
“Now it’s Grace’s turn.”
“Huh? My turn?”
“I need to exercise.”
Once my class is over, it’s Grace’s turn to exercise.
Grace was shocked at my words and rolled her eyes. It seemed like she was trying to get out somehow.
Anyone could see that he was playing Crayon Shin-chan, but he watched in silence. What kind of excuse will he make?

“Oh, let’s skip it today. It’s late, right?”
“No. If you put it off, I won’t do it anymore.”
“Well, there’s still time…”
“It only takes 1 hour.”
“··· ···”
Grace had no choice but to accept it, not because of my coercion, but because of my coercion. Where are you trying to escape?
First, I changed my clothes to do aerobic exercise. Fortunately, I had sportswear.
After doing some simple stretching, I went outside and started running.
Grace has very weak physical strength, so I was planning to go really light.
“hehehe. hehehe. Ugh…”
“Wow.”
But in less than 3 minutes, it was nonsense. His stamina is truly admirable.
In addition, you can’t do more than two push-ups, do all sit-ups with your back, etc.
It was a total crisis, so I was wondering where to start. I wonder if they really only focused on magical power.
“It won’t work.”
“Yeah, right? So exercise…”
“Work harder.”
“Ah…”
You need to have a minimum amount of physical strength to be able to function as a human later. I have very little stamina.
Fortunately, the recovery itself is decent. This was possible because of the high magical power.
“Good luck, Mr. Sivar. I’m embarrassed to say this…”
“What?”
“It’s hard for me to run because I have big breasts.”
“Kara is big too. Ellie is even bigger.”
“··· ···”
I also cut the excuses. I understand, but it was all just an excuse.
In the end, Grace had no choice but to cry and eat mustard to exercise.
I wasn’t too strong, so I only went on for 30 minutes. If you do more than that, you won’t even be able to wake up the next day.
“Koh…”
“Sleep well.”
How hard must it be for you to even snore? I looked at Grace’s face.
We headed into dreamland within 5 minutes of lying side by side in bed. Of course, he didn’t forget to hug me.
I stared at Grace, who was sleeping soundly, and then quietly stood up.
Next, I headed from the bed to the balcony. Now it’s time for the appointment.
“Are you here?”
I heard a familiar voice from the side. I turned my head towards that.
I turned my head and, as expected, Dan Ye-rin was standing on the balcony next to me.
Holding a bear bag in one hand and smiling softly. The outfit is also the oriental pajamas I saw yesterday.
“I can hear your snoring all the way from here. The exercise must have been quite difficult.”
“I stopped right before I died.”
“Well, wizards often neglect physical strength.”
Tuk Tuk-
However, Yerin shook out her teddy bear into the ashtray. Judging from the fact that all the smoke has gone out, it looks like it has all been smoked.
Then she put down the bear and showed me something.
It was a gourd. A gourd with a word symbolizing alcohol written in the middle.
“Danju, it’s a drink with excellent sweetness. I think you like sweet things, too.”
“That’s right.”
“I chose the right one. Now I have to give you a glass…”
While Yerin was speaking, she looked at me, not at herself. The distance between the balconies is quite far.
In other words, it means that someone has to cross. I realized what it meant and moved cautiously.
He may be a dark son-in-law, but someone could be watching him, and the moment Yeo-hye wakes up, he will be in trouble.
However, Yerin must have known this and moved aside so that I could pass.
Tadat-
I climbed over the balcony with light yet quiet movements. Thanks to the sneak attack, there would hardly have been even a trace.
When Dan Ye-rin saw that I had passed, she smiled in satisfaction and handed over her glass.
“I’m staying here. Take it.”
Looking at it, it looks like it was planned and prepared. I took the glass from Dan Yerin.
It is not a wine glass, but a small glass. Overall, it looks like a white bowl.
A typical oriental drinking glass. Now all that’s left is to fill this glass.
Squeak-
After filling each other’s glasses, we had a light drink.
It had a bitter scent like a medicinal herb, but it was all overshadowed by the sweetness. It tastes amazing.
Most alcohol from the East boasts a bitter taste, but not this alcohol. Even without snacks, it suits your taste just right.
“What do you think? Do you like it?”
“Yes. It’s delicious.”
“That’s a good thing. Most alcohol from the East has a strong bitter taste.”
Dan Ye-rin smiled happily and poured alcohol into her glass again.
He is not formal at all and treats people without any fault. If it were anyone else, this would be unthinkable behavior.
But I knew about Dan Ye-rin, so I was able to get close to her. She is a person who has lived a lonely life in a different way than me.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve talked to someone like this. Where I lived, I was worried about who to trust.”
“I didn’t have anyone.”
“Ah. I see. So what is it like? How does it feel to talk to people?”
“It’s fun.”
In particular, teasing Luna is the most fun. It’s also worth seeing her snout fluttering.
Dan Ye-rin smiled softly as if she liked my answer. And she looked up at the sky.
Numerous stars are embroidered in the dark night sky. It seemed like countless stars formed a river.
“I know how fun it is to talk to people. It’s like a burden is lifted when you talk openly.”
“Even now?”
“Of course. You’re safe.”
This means that it is politically safe. I am a wild person with no background at all.
For Dan Ye-rin, who is under considerable political stress, it could not be more comfortable than this.
Even if you don’t have to go far, you can’t even trust Yeo-hye, the bodyguard. It is an isolated situation in many ways.
“I have no choice but to continue the lonely fight for my dream. That’s why I can’t treat anyone comfortably. You are an exception.”
“Dream?”
“I want to become an emperor.”
As you heard, Dan Ye-rin’s ambition is to sit on her throne. It is not only a thorny road, but it is at the level of hellfire.
First of all, I know that Dan Ye-rin has over 10 siblings. Each and every one of them is her competitor.
Even she doesn’t hesitate to show off her cruelty, and the moment she reveals her ambition, there is a strong possibility that her mouse will disappear without a trace.
She was able to protect her body until now because of Yerin’s ability, if not for her, she would have been assassinated a long time ago.
“Emperor?”
“It’s the sky that all people look up to, and it’s a place where you can look down on the earth. I don’t know if you understand, but that’s it anyway.”
“Why do you want to become emperor?”
Dan Yerin’s answer to my question was very simple.
“It feels like shit.”
“······Huh?”
“He wanted to become emperor because he was so crazy. He wasn’t born here because he wanted to, but he threatened my life whenever he got the chance.”
Although these are not words that would come out of the princess’s mouth, it means that she was that stressed.
In fact, the current situation of the Hwan Empire is not that good. On Earth, a power struggle is taking place within the Soviet Union.
At least it is maintained because the current emperor is a Stalin-like figure. The moment he passes away, a huge bloodshed will break out.
Even the emperor was so mentally disturbed that he did not even properly appoint a successor.
“It would be better if the successor had been chosen properly, but the father is strange. They say that only by weeding out and weeding out can he become the true owner of the throne.”
“Are you a predator?”
“Predator? Oh, you mean a wild predator? Hmm…”
Dan Ye-rin was lost in thought as she twirled her glass. She then poured it into her mouth.
I also followed Dan Ye-rin and tipped her drink into her mouth. I always feel this, but it is a truly unique taste.
“In a way, it can be said that they are similar. It is a bite-and-bite relationship and the law of the law against meat. If you look at it this way, you can feel that humans are also beasts.”
“There are times when I can’t do it.”
“Huh. Those words hit me to the bone. I can’t believe I figured it out already.”
Dan Ye-rin laughed weakly at my words. Her laughter was almost self-deprecating.
Then she poured her drink into her glass and let out a sigh. Her alcohol is strong, so her face is already red.
I could feel her face getting hot, but she didn’t make an effort to show it. It is dangerous if you get drunk for no reason.
“Shivar.”
“Yes.”
“How do you think we can find trustworthy people?”
Dan Yerin asked me a question. Her eyes were still directed towards the sky.
She is Dan Ye-rin, who has been asking questions related to trust since yesterday. But considering her situation, she is understandable.
There is no one she can trust near her. Perhaps she has experienced betrayal in the past.
“I don’t know.”
And I can’t answer that. Because I really don’t know.
Originally, human relationships change. In any crisis, it is rare for us to be together until the end.
Yesterday’s enemies become today’s colleagues, and vice versa. That’s why people are complicated.
“You don’t know… Then why do you trust people?”
“Just believe it.”
“What if he deceives you?”
“What are you fooling?”
“······It’s the same answer as before.”
Dan Ye-rin said with a grin. As of now, I have no choice but to say that.
If you say you know the future, it’s obvious that you won’t believe it. Otherwise, they’ll treat you like you’re crazy.
I shrugged my shoulders and answered in a calm voice.
“I don’t want headaches. I’ll just believe it.”
“··· ···”
“Do you want to be fooled too?”
I suggested it to Dan Ye-rin as a joke. Just pretend you’re being fooled once and believe it.
Dan Ye-rin looked at me blankly, as if her heart was shaken. Just as ripples rippled in her chest, her eyes also wavered.
“······Foot.”
Then she suddenly bursts into laughter.
“Puhuhuh.”
She made a deflated sound and shook her head.
It wasn’t meant as a denial, it was more of a reaction of just being dumbfounded.
Then, Dan Ye-rin looked straight at me and said in an absurd voice.
“It’s fun. It’s really fun. It’s so natural to captivate people. Just like yesterday, the more I look at you, the more talented you are.”
“So are you going to believe it?”
“You won’t believe it, but I’ll fool you.”
That means you believe. I accepted it that way.
Furthermore, that is something that comes out when the level of favorability has built up.
Although it may not be unconditional trust, it is said that he is suitable as a comfortable conversation partner.
“That’s it for today. Since I drank alcohol, I’ll sleep well.”
“What’s left?”
“I’m sorry, but it’s my favorite drink. You should drink it in small portions.”
What a shame. It tasted pretty good.
As I looked at him with a regretful expression, Dan Ye-rin chuckled.
She then wiggled her fingers and gently nudged him.
“You shouldn’t get addicted to alcohol already. Everything should be done in moderation.”
“Okay.”
“Then have a good night. I’ll see you again tomorrow at this time.”
However, Yerin naturally made her appointment and went inside. I also climbed over her balcony and returned to the room.
One more thing before that. She stepped over to the balcony and looked ahead of her. There was only darkness.
‘Let’s go today.’
If it happens twice instead of once, it will be okay. I climbed over the balcony before the figure in the darkness disappeared.
Not toward Dan Ye-rin, but toward the front. So, it means that you climbed over the wall.
The problem is…
Slippery-
“Ugh.”
He was a little drunk and his feet slipped. She couldn’t balance herself properly and fell head first.
Boom!
“Ouch.”
Fortunately, the number of floors was not high. I woke up and smoothed my hair.
He must have seen me fall and the sight quickly moved away. I guess he realized that I had noticed him.
‘Still, I’ll be able to catch it soon.’
I immediately moved my legs.
