A five-day holiday with a three-day school closure and a weekend.

The students used their holidays to travel or return home, but Cynthia did not.

Rather than returning to her hometown, she chose to study in a secluded library.

In an empty, unpopulated place, she prepared for her upcoming midterm exams by devouring books and notebooks until the sun went down.

“Shut up. Will this be enough for today…?”

I was stuck in the library all day today.

Watching the sun go down with pride, she too left her seat and stood up.

Shall we stop by the bakery in Rhodes today and buy some cake?

I don’t have anyone to eat with, but since it’s a holiday, I wanted to show off my mood.

“lol···.”

As she walked through the secluded campus, a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

It’s not just because of the mild spring weather and pleasant sunshine.

It was a lighthearted smile that cast off the underlying anxiety and pain.

“It’s peaceful…”

For Cynthia, the peace now felt like a dream.

Even when she was in elementary and middle school academy, bullying and discrimination followed her like a shadow.

‘Why is there a demon tribe here?’

Discrimination against demons, which Cynthia had always heard about.

It was like a stigma attached to her like a label.

Helios is on the better side, but that doesn’t make it any better.

They didn’t hate it blindly, but when a malicious group like Jason’s gang approached, no one dared to step in and protect them.

“Whew…”

But, now it was different.

Jason’s party, which had been harassing her, was dismantled by Kang Yu-jin.

The open bullying has disappeared, and there have been no unreasonable demands.

Occasionally he glared at him with a stinging eye, but he didn’t come any closer.

There are still no friends and there is discrimination without knowing it, but the blatant bullying like before is gone.

After the raid, some children treat her kindly.

For Cynthia, her current life was like a dream.

That was the identity of the smile that spread across her face now.

“hehehehe. hehehehe.”

We walked down the street humming.

The footsteps that jumped and walked were lighter than ever.

this feeling of liberation. this vitality.

It was all thanks to Kang Yoo-jin’s help.

‘Thank you professor.’

maybe he doesn’t know

Kang Yoo-jin just punished the student who used the word demon indiscriminately, and all he did was tell the bullied demon that you were human.

However, it meant more to Cynthia herself than anything else.

Kang Yu-jin was the first person to acknowledge her as a person, except for her family.

“uh?”

By the way, the moment the school gate of Helios was approaching.

A woman in the distance caught her eye.

Tall for a woman and jet-black hair.

A radiant appearance that could not be covered by a plain dress.

When that bright face meets Cynthia’s eyes, a smile blooms.

Cynthia ran to the woman’s arms without realizing it.

“Sister Karina!”

The woman’s name is Karina Westerlund.

She was Cynthia’s half-sister.

She ran over and gently hugged Cynthia, brushing her hair.

“Oops. Is my little brother here?”

“It’s been a while!”

Cynthia, who was wrapped in her family’s arms, looked up at her sister’s face.

The white and beautiful appearance is still dazzling.

The long flowing black hair shimmers mysteriously like the night sky, and the finely curved red eyes are beautiful as if they were studded with rubies.

However, her pale skin and black horns sprouting from either side proved that she was not human.

“Sister… is it okay to come here? People will see…”

“It’s okay. I came here with permission.”

She pointed to the thin restraints wrapped around her neck and horns.

It is a restraining device that seals demons and binds the body to human form.

The restrictions she was subjected to as a condition for entering Helios.

She smiled brightly and rubbed Cynthia’s back before her expression darkened.

“Can I not hide the horns?”

“Yeah. They didn’t care about this much.”

Cynthia nodded as if she understood the clear answer.

‘Well, there are professors with big, fluffy tails…’

Cynthia was relieved at the thought of Skadi.

As can be seen from her appearance, Karina is not human.

It’s not even a demon, it’s a pure demon.

Originally, she should never have been here, but Helios gave her special permission to enter, considering that she was Cynthia’s only family.

Of course, most of them had to go through the humiliation of being sealed, but Karina didn’t care at all because it was the only way to meet her one and only sister.

If I didn’t like it, I couldn’t help it.

Cynthia was both a student of Helios and a hostage at the same time.

Even for the sake of her sister’s safety, Karina couldn’t run wild.

“You look good. Did you enjoy school?”

“Yeah. It was great.”

Saying that it was good, Karina’s eyes widened.

It was the first time a positive response came out of Cynthia’s mouth.

“I met a really good professor…”

“The one who helped you?”

“yes.”

Because they always exchanged letters, Karina knew about her sister’s current situation.

She laughed humorously and stroked Cynthia’s hair.

“Looking at your expression, you feel so good that you want to die? Is this your first love?”

“Oh, no, not like that!”

“Ah. Looking at the reaction, I don’t think it’s anything wrong?”

“Not really…! To begin with, he’s much older than me!”

“Age is just a number. In my family, a 500-year age difference is good enough to get married, right?”

“·······.”

Karina, who threw a silly joke, laughed wryly.

Karina smiled once more at her younger sister who had been pouting from heartache and hugged her tightly.

“Shall we go to the dormitory first? Can I go in too?”

“Yes! My family is fine!”

Carina was the only family Cynthia could talk to openly.

Since we haven’t seen each other often due to academy work lately, the face of Cynthia, who leads Karina, is unusually bright.

“But what’s going on here?”

“What’s the matter? My cute brother didn’t come even on the weekend, so I came to see him.”

“Ah… that… I’m sorry… I’ve been spending a little too much lately…”

Meanwhile, Cynthia took out the Yongyongi from her bag and showed it to her.

“Aha? You spent too much money to buy him.”

“yes···.”

“It can be. School supplies are important.”

Carina didn’t mind and stroked Cynthia’s hair.

In the corners of his eyes, which were finely curved, the affection for his younger brother was dripping.

“There must have been other kids, but if you look at the reason why you chose Wyvern, you’re also part of our clan.”

“Yes, yes…”

Carina said while stroking Cynthia’s hair with both hands.

Looking at the hornless head like her own, she licked her lips as if swallowing regret.

“By the way, what kind of person is that professor?”

“He is kind and knowledgeable. He is very good at teaching! This lecture is probably the most popular at Helios.”

Cynthia has been unraveling the story so far.

Karina listened to her story with a smile on her face, seeing her younger sister, who rarely smiled, show off her unusually bright colors.

“And…the clothes and armaments are a bit unusual.”

“Is it unusual? How?”

“He’s always wrapped up, he hides his face, and he uses a gun as a weapon.”

“···gun?”

“Yeah.”

Karina’s expression twisted slightly.

A professor who uses a gun?

“What is the professor’s name by any chance?”

“Professor Yujin Kang.”

“Kangyu… what?”

At that time, Cynthia’s body stiffened slightly as she was holding her.

“…what’s your name?”

“Huh? Professor Yujin Kang.”

“·······.”

“Are you Karina?”

Karina was silent for a while.

The red eyes that were clearly opened were visibly shaken for a moment.

Karina, she gazed at her sister standing in front of her eyes.

It was because the name she said, those three letters, kept ringing in my head.

“Kang Yujin…?”

Unlike Cynthia, she was a pure witch and knew the name well.

No, I couldn’t have known.

reaper to prepare.

The human that witches fear the most.

And, the strongest evil dragon.

The dragon slayer who killed ‘Diablo of the Fallen Fire’.

To the Witchbeast, his name was like a legend.

I heard he’s dead, but he’s on Helios?

‘It’s not like it’s someone with the same name…’

Tightly wrapped impression.

A human with a covered face and a gun as a weapon.

There is only one person in all dimensions who has such a characteristic among the names ‘Kang Yujin’.

“·······.”

Looking at her sister, Karina’s hand trembled slightly.

Her eyes glowed with demonic energy, and her pupils turned into those of a dragon.

“···sister?”

“Uh, huh? Ahahahaha. It’s nothing.”

Karina, who hastily evaded it, smiled broadly as if making excuses.

However, her mind still stayed with Kang Yoo-jin, whom Cynthia had talked about.

If this is real, it should be checked.

The preparing death god, Karina’s hand still trembled when she remembered that existence.

*

Crunchy square-

The quiet classroom is filled with the sound of crunching notes.

About 150 students filled the spacious lecture hall.

The sound of 150 pieces of graphite scratching the paper seemed very grand to watch.

“Hmm.”

I’m just looking at them from the church.

Today’s lecture is ‘self-study’.

In preparation for the midterm exam, I gave students self-study.

‘I’ve taught everything that needs to be taught anyway.’

Interpretation and vocalization method of Masu language.

The content is sufficient for the middle course of the first semester.

There is also an advanced course that is deeper than this, but it is not suitable for a midterm exam course because the depth of study is considerable.

After the major selection is over, the contents that need to be taught to them.

It’s still too early, so I gave them self-study without hesitation.

“Okay…Professor.”

At that time, Cynthia approached me with questions.

Is this the fifth question already? There are too many alone.

Whether he knew that or not, his expression of nervousness was evident in the way he spoke to him.

Well, it seems like I’m working hard, so I don’t want to criticize.

“What.”

“Four…! I’m confused about the classification of magical power frequencies by grade of monsters…”

“I’m sure you’ve explained that a few times during class. Didn’t you take notes?”

“Even though I did, I don’t know… I’m sorry.”

He lowered his head and handed over the notebook, but the notes were certainly tight.

Is it difficult to understand

I wanted to do it well until now, but I couldn’t understand it, so it seems that I did everything in a fist-pumping way.

That’s great, but I think it’s something I felt was lacking.

In fact, doing it that way only takes a long time and the practicality is significantly reduced.

“Think of mana as a concept of frequency. How does the unit of frequency change?”

“Uh…in units of 1,000…?”

“Magic power is the same. Lower, lower middle, lower middle… Every time the unit is different, the unit of frequency that is used also changes.”

I immediately reproduced the language of the monsters that shared the same species by class.

It means the same ‘nice to meet you’, but the feeling is remarkably different.

“Of course, if you just blindly increase the frequency, it’s just noise.”

Play the magician once again.

This time, only the frequency of the low-level language was raised, so the sound that flowed out was just a meaningless howl.

“Can you see the difference?”

“Is it the difference between just voicing and vocalizing…?”

“hit.”

Her expression brightened as if she understood only then.

You can honestly tell me everything, but if you do that, you will only have immediate knowledge and you will not get direct realization.

You have to understand and realize anything on your own to become real knowledge.

It took her a while to understand, but it was well worth the time.

“Frequency and vocalization are one set. Keep in mind that you can’t do just one.”

“Then… what should I do if I don’t know the grade of the monster?”

“A demonic beast’s rank is determined by the wavelength of the magical energy it emits. That wavelength is also contained in language, and if you interpret it, even a demonic beast you haven’t seen before will be able to match your grade. It’s an important technique, so remember it.”

Not only Cynthia, but also the secretly listening students could be seen taking notes hastily.

“Thank you professor!”

“yes.”

Cynthia smiled broadly and walked back to her seat.

The moment you want to focus on the midterm exam again.

‘···!’

The sharp flow of demonic energy caught my senses.

A clear gaze felt outside the classroom, not outside.

Someone was watching me.

“Hmm.”

A familiar kind of Magi.

A sensation that I had felt several times before in my life, on the battlefield.

I instinctively knew that it was not a human being using this.

‘Did you think I wouldn’t be able to find it?’

It’s difficult to identify the original owner of this insight-type ability, but that doesn’t apply to me.

Chasing after the magic wave that I can feel from my gaze, I follow it as it is.

By distinguishing intricate wavelengths, the hidden flow was revealed on the surface of the water.

Eventually, the moment I found the person in question, I stared at a corner of the garden beyond the classroom.

‘I don’t know who it is.’

I raised my hand and looked at my watch.

It’s close to 4 o’clock.

‘He’s a guy with a swollen liver.’

I announced the end of the lecture and immediately got up from my seat.

And, through the suggestive effect of mind control, I sent an electric sound to the guy.

‘I’ll be there soon.’

Do you dare to look at me with a maddening gaze?

There is no cheeky mate.

I went straight to the garden.
