The sound of the heels of shoes walking across the auditorium resounded low and clear.
“So, again, when magic is circulated and activated inside the body, there are some cases where changes that can be seen with the naked eye are noticeable. Also, even if it doesn’t appear clearly, there are quite a few instances where anyone with a certain degree of eye can see it… Of course, there are some guys who don’t show any change at all, so you shouldn’t be overconfident about it.”
Professor Abel Grossman continued the class with his characteristic languid expression and voice.
She did not impose special sanctions on students who sleep or do other things, so only about half of the students usually attend class properly.
That doesn’t mean they’re studying hard.
Most of the students were looking at the watch or looking at her as if they had lost their mind somewhere.
“for example… Yes, in the case of a troll in Blue Frost, when the magical energy circulates smoothly and the power overflows, a sharp icicle-like frost appears on the forehead and pharynx. On the other hand, in the case of trolls that live in swamps, the color of the moss on their backs changes so slightly that it’s hard to spot them. In addition… .”
As she continued the class like that, at some point she took a deep breath and exhaled.
“Are we going to end up here today?”
With that said, Abel Grossman tucked away his class materials and said to the startled students.
“Today that… There are idol performances and there are so many things to see, right? I don’t know why I have to hold classes until a day like this… Most of all, it doesn’t seem to make any sense to hold it up until late.”
At the end of those words, she waved her hand as if to leave.
At her actions, most of the students who were sitting in the auditorium got up in an instant.
“Thank you professor!”
“i love you!”
Abel Grossman smiled slightly and nodded slowly, as if to go quickly.
As the students rushed out, I approached her gesture as if to come this way.
“Yes, Professor. What are you doing?”
“… uhm. Were you busy?”
Abel Grossman rarely noticed this side and opened his mouth like that.
I shook my head saying it was okay. Then she nodded a few times and asked again.
“Then who are you planning to go with? Yuna and Yesul?”
“They decided to go together, and they have other friends.”
She shook her head slowly.
“ah. It did. among your friends… Well. There were children named Ivan Hunt and Han Su-young, Kim Yu-hyeon and Lee Hyun-seong, who were in the same team, and there was a child named Choi Hyun-woo. You must have asked something.”
Here I could see why she said this to me.
This concert and festival lasted only one day, but since the very next day was a temporary school closure, it could be said that it actually lasted for two days. Also, perhaps because of the fact that it was a commemorative ceremony, the academy was rarely opened to outsiders, and most of the cadets were said to have invited their families and friends.
“… … .”
… And in this world, I didn’t have a single family to call.
Knowing that, Abel Grossman seemed concerned about me in his own way.
“Yeah, I decided to go with the kids. Anyway, we decided to get together right away.”
After hearing the answer, she nodded and then told me to just have fun and go away. On the way out after saying hello to her, I deliberately moved slowly.
Ivan was going to suffer because of Bonamana Belluna.
In the case of Jin Ye-seul, I called Jin Ye-jeong as I asked, so I’ll stick with her until I get busy for a while. Although a bit crooked, deep down, she liked her older sister, so she would enjoy it in her own way.
In the case of Yeeun Lee, when I asked him a bit, he said that he was going to rest for a while while walking around with Kyunghwan Kang this time. He added that he would change his appearance and enjoy the festival this time as well as adding fun to the fact that no one recognized him.
In the case of Cass Lyle, I’ll be with Alice.

Of course, I can’t play or enjoy it properly because I’m busy with work.
What is Ahn Do-hoon? I wondered if I was caught by Ahn Joo-hyuk and half-forced to live together.
And in the case of Han Soo-young and Choi Hyun-woo… .
“… … .”
As soon as I thought of those two, I could feel their expressions getting serious without me knowing.
Also, I started to remember what happened a few days ago.
Hyun-woo Choi, who came to me that day and started talking in a low voice.
Han Soo-young seems to be depressed and troubled by anyone who sees it.
And even Nam Hyeon-hwa, who suddenly came to me and left a meaningful story, as if I had expected all these things.
I was vaguely aware of the fact that my existence and the things that happened because of me had a huge impact on their relationship. But paradoxically, the problems of those three were something I could not and should not meddle in.
I just hoped that the relationship between the three, which had already deviated from the original a long time ago, would be properly knotted.
you’ll be fine
Mumbling silently, I hastened my steps.
All I could do was just believe.
When I told him a few days ago, ‘One day, everyone will depend on you’, it wasn’t something that came out of nowhere. In fact, he was an indispensable and supportive person in our group, and everyone was psychologically dependent on him, whether they knew it or not.
And I was included in all of them.
Above all, I had no doubts in the fact that Choi Hyun-woo would overcome this incident brilliantly, and in that situation, Han Soo-young would also grow even more through this incident.
No matter what anyone says, those two were the original characters and the protagonists of the clouds on the horizon in this world.
“Whoa.”
Thinking about it that way made me feel a little more at ease.
Rather than that, while I was thinking about how I should spend my time with a little more time until my appointment, I met a familiar person.
“uh? Hey, Yuuna!”
She was just Yuuna.
She found me and waved a small hand.
“Are the nuns and children not coming?”
As I approached her, she nodded her head.
“yes. Sister is very busy… It’s a bit too much to bring all the kids… .”
Yuuna smiled bitterly as if there was nothing she could do.
At her reaction, I nodded once more, as if understanding, and smiled.
“Then are you bullied like me?”
“What? what, what Who is bullying? At first I was with you… !”
For a moment, Lee Yu-na said something as if she was angry, but for a moment, as if embarrassed, she faltered in her words.
Then, he shook his head as if he was trying to calm himself down, and it was as if a puppy had been hit by the rain and scratched his body.
“Yeah, why am I being bullied?”
Lee Yu-na said so in a fat voice.
“After all, if you met bullies like this, would you like to go out with them? There is still time left before we can get together with the kids.”
“Then, it’s good to go out with the bullies.”
So me and her slowly started walking down the street where the street vendors were gathered.
Now that the preparations for the opening of the store are in full swing for the festival, a bustling and noisy sound echoed everywhere.
Then, Lee Yu-na asked me with a casual expression.
“Ji-hyuk.”
“yes.”
She caught her breath for a moment.
“Do you think it will be today?”
“Maybe it will explode tomorrow.”
I also replied with a nonchalant expression.
“But I’m pretty sure it’s today.”
“… If you are, then so be it.”
Rarely, she muttered with such firm emotion.
After a while she asked me, this time in a slightly shaky voice.
“Then is that true? That, why… .”
“yes?”
“I have to do something really important this time.”
I nodded at her words.
Having obtained a weapon forged with my scales, it could be said that the whole party had a means to deal with Milited, but it was only a means to the end.
It was no exaggeration to say that the person with the most appropriate ability to deal with Milited was Yuuna, no matter what, and the difficulty of the Milited battle was determined by how well she played.
And I emphasized that fact over and over again at the gatherings of everyone, including her.
When everyone nodded in agreement, only Reason or herself showed disbelief.
But now she looks… .
“okay… .”
She just quietly nodded her head in agreement.
It was only now that he seemed to have accepted it.
“But don’t put too much pressure on your shoulders. Look, I’m so nervous, I’m going to make a mistake if I’m wrong.”
I tapped her on the shoulder and looked at me with a firm expression that didn’t seem like Lee Yu-na.
I looked at her like that and nodded as if it was okay.
“it’s okay.”
“yes?”
“everything will be alright.”
“… … .”
She opened her mouth for a moment, looked at me blankly, and muttered in a muffled voice.
“… After putting pressure on people like that, now?”
“If you make a mistake, I will take responsibility.”
“… … .”
As if she didn’t like something, Lee Yu-na kept her mouth shut with a sullen expression.
she whispered softly.
“No way.”
“What?”
“There is nothing I can do wrong.”
So you won’t have any responsibility or anything to do with it.
She spoke too resolutely, and in a sudden strode towards the stall next to her.
“Boss, just two Ahhs here, please!”
“Oh, I’m sorry, miss. We’re still preparing, so let’s go somewhere else.”
“… … .”
Lee Yu-na’s face began to glow red with her mouth shut.
I didn’t say anything.
She finally managed to buy two slushies after going to the store next door.
“Come on, this one.”
She handed me a blue slushie.
I took it to say thank you and put it in my mouth right away.
The overly artificial lemon and soda taste lingered in my mouth, and when I took a nap, she asked me as I ate the red slush.
“Do you hate slushies?”
“No way. I really like ice cream.”
“really? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you eat ice cream like that?”
After thinking about it for a while, I asked what I was going to do.
“It’s been a habit since ancient times. Do you have a big bucket of ice cream? I took one and ate it.”
She had a look on her face as if she didn’t know it would be that much.
Somehow, the expression on her face made her laugh, but for some reason she burst into laughter this time.
“Your tongue is blue!”
“I ate this.”
Then, he swung his tongue out at her, as if flirting with her.
Then, this time, she sticks out her tongue slightly. Her tongue had turned excessively red.
“Then I turned very red… ?!”
She paused for a moment and slowly sucked her tongue into her mouth.
Without a word, she picked up the spoonful straw that was stuck in the slushie, dug it up, and rummaged through it a couple of times.
“… I’ll be late for an appointment. let’s hurry.”
After a while, she muttered like that and quickly walked forward.
I silently followed her, without uttering the ominous sound that there were still nearly thirty minutes until the appointment time.

“Yeon-kyung, you should try it too.”
“It’s okay, my lord. I don’t like wizards very much because I’m different from anyone else. I hate what they make.”
Next to Ye-eun Lee, who drank the potion again to see if she liked it, and turned into an adult, Kang Kang-kyung answered in a hoarse voice. Yeeun Lee said, ‘Hmm… .’ and made a sound like he was thinking a little.
“This is an order from the head of the family. World Tree Clan Kang Kyung-kyung, become an adult like me right now.”
“Wow… Look at the way he speaks while holding his form.”
Lee Ye-eun burst into laughter at Kang Kang-kyung’s answer.
Then he gently ruffled his hair back.
“But it’s going to be really bad. I think this will become a habit. It was surprisingly comfortable and nice that no one noticed.”
“Isn’t it the same to attract people’s attention?”
Kang Kang-kyung still looked around with a sullen look.
It’s not that she’s not, but Ye-eun Lee’s appearance as an adult was so beautiful that she was instantly engulfed in her eyes… It was because it had the power to attract the attention of people who cannot be described.
‘Is it because of the energy of the World Tree?’
Kang Kyung-kyung just thought that way and passed it on.
She was so weak that it was embarrassing to even call her the clan of the World Tree, and frankly, she was no different than an ordinary person.
Therefore, even to her, the power of the World Tree was nothing more than an unknown existence itself.
“At least not from the perspective of the head of the world tree.”
Yeeun Lee said so and hummed a small hum.
It looks really good… .
Kang Kang-kyung shook her head at the sight of a rare friend.
She shows that kind of appearance before eating her favorite dessert, when she relaxes and spends time without any worries after every day, when she talks on the phone with Yoo Ji-hyuk, or when she meets and talks with Yoo Ji-hyuk. it was
“Are you ready?”
“Everything is going well. To be precise, Uncle Wooseok did everything.”
To Lee Ye-eun’s question, which was thrown away without warning, Kang Kang-kyung immediately answered as if it was nothing special.
“First of all, it is difficult to suddenly move a lot of people on our side… They said that Wooseok brought the people under you in a hurry. Yeeun, as you know, there are places that need more people, so you can’t get them out of there.”
“okay… Then how much?”
“There were about thirty people. Honestly, I think that’s the best.”
Yeeun Lee nodded slowly.
“Thirty… okay. That’s enough. As you said, it must have been difficult to take away any more, and above all, we are not the only ones… yes?”
Then, Yeeun Lee suddenly stopped walking.
Kang Kang-kyung wanted to know what was going on, so she looked at the place she was looking at and shouted, “Ah!”.
“You’re the master and Yuna, aren’t you?”

On the surface, Yoo Ji-hyeok’s only aide and user Lee Yu-na was familiar with the lecture.
In any case, it was because she was in a similar situation as Lee Ye-eun’s aide, friend, and Yong-in.
“Wow, they were so good together.”
While eating slush, Kang Kang-kyung muttered without thinking about the sight of sticking tongues out towards each other or sharing a meal while eating slushies. Then, realizing something, she immediately shut her mouth and moved only her eyes to look at Yeeun Lee.
“… … .”
Yeeun Lee didn’t say anything.
It was just a little, a little bit, frowned.
‘Wow… .’
Kang Kang-kyung was genuinely nervous and could feel his stomach burning.
It was because that expression was the expression that came out when she was genuinely upset.
Above all else, as an adult and making such an expression, the pressure was no joke.
“… Yeongyeong-ah.”
“Yes Yes… ?”
Without realizing it, Kang Kyung-kyung answered with respectful words.
“Let’s eat slush, too.”
She couldn’t help but nod her head at the cold voice.

Hyeonu Choi was silently fiddling with a small piece of stone he was holding in his hand.
It was the item I received from Yoon Seul-hye.
“… … .”

Originally, she said that she had to feed this to Yoo Ji-hyeok, or at least have it on her body. It was heard that Choi Jun-hyung ordered her, and if she failed, he threatened to inflict more pain than she could have imagined.
He had now assumed that role.
And that was also what Yoo Ji-hyuk wanted.
However… .
Hyeonu Choi held on to the stone and held it tightly, without even the slightest change in expression.
It was a gesture full of strength, as if to crush it, but there was not a single scratch on it in his hand.
Eventually he carefully put it in his arms and tried to get up.
There was half an hour left until the appointment time, but I was thinking of going first and waiting.
That was then.
“there… Are you Hyunwoo’s brother? ?”
Choi Hyun-woo slowly raised his head at the voice he heard.
In front of her stood a girl she had not seen in a long time.
“Hyerin? What are you doing here?”
It was Lee Hye-rin, the younger sister of Lee Myung-jun.
Choi Hyun-woo was rarely embarrassed by her unexpected appearance.
However, Hyerin Lee just smiled broadly, as if she was happy.
“Ah, that’s the real Hyunwoo oppa.”
“Heh,” she said as if making excuses while fiddling with her hair.
“He, my brother said he was coming here for work. So I came to play with Yuzuki unnie… .”
Her eyes met with Choi Hyun-woo, and she was startled, avoiding her gaze and faltering in her words.
“Uh, that’s… .”
She was holding a paper bag wet with oil in one hand.
She hesitated for a moment, but then closed her lips as if she had made a firm decision and put her hand into the envelope.
“Boo, would you like some bungeoppang?”
The bungeoppang in her little hand was trembling slightly.
Choi Hyun-woo, who looked at Bungeoppang and her alternately for a moment, smiled softly.
“I will eat well.”
… Surprisingly, the feeling of being a bit frustrated seemed to have eased.
