Chapter 241 – Chapter 241. Commemorative Party for Final Exams (2)
Tuesday afternoon when Lee Ho-yeon went to the magic fair.
After her regular classes at the academy, Ellis prepared to return to her home.
‘It didn’t come to the end after all.’
Alice slipped away from Lee Ho-yeon’s empty seat.
While thinking about why incidents happen wherever that man goes.
She doesn’t know if it’s a field trip or what, but she says she was caught in a terror attack at a magic fair she went to with Professor Im Sol.
‘Isn’t Lee Ho-yeon in the dark?’
The frequency of appearing in the news is increasing to the extent that I think it is.
Tsk.
Elise smiled at her and shook her head.
Because it can’t be.
‘I guess it didn’t get hurt because I blocked it perfectly, right?’
News of the terrorism spread on the Internet and even in foreign media in just a few hours.
In fact, terrorism is a big problem, but Mine terrorism occurs several times a day all over the world.
Therefore, it was not an issue that could quickly spread to foreign media. What became a real issue was Professor Im Sol’s magic that he blocked.
In one word… It was a magic that made me think that I should never make a mistake in the professor’s class.
In addition to that, there were several news stories about Professor Imsol needing to be reevaluated and that she was a statement from the Magic Society, but she didn’t look for her because it wasn’t very important to Elise.
What is important to her is Lee Ho-yeon.
There was a reason why he shouldn’t get hurt.
This is because the mana circuit has finally narrowed.
The time has come when mana massage is needed again.
I need Lee Ho-yeon’s help.
“The time… Whenever is fine.”
The time when Alice was reviewing her schedule.
“Hey, Miss Ellis?”
Someone spoke from behind.
Turning her head slightly, it was a face I had seen many times before.
“It’s been a while. I came for the final exam celebration.”
“… Commemorative party for final exams? Ah, senior clerk.”
She remembered it only after hearing that.
The senior in front of me was the secretary of the student council.
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the student council, so I’m a little confused.
“Yeah. This is a plan, so take a look at it. The PR department is also a student council, so…”
After checking her papers, Alice first thought that it was a nuisance.
[Student Council final exam celebration plan!]
It’s a plan that looks cumbersome at first glance.
It seems that a lot of people will gather.
It was very different from Alice’s style, who likes quiet things.
If this were an important party, I’d endure it, but it’s not like that….
‘Wait a minute, since I said it was the PR department, isn’t Lee Ho-yeon coming too?’
Alice, who was about to politely decline, recalled the existence of Lee Ho-yeon.
Lee Ho-yeon, by nature, is not a man who would miss social gatherings like this.
“Even if it looks more complicated than it looks, in fact, the first year is big…”
“Is Lee Ho-yeon participating?”
As Elise looked through her papers, she asked the clerk.
“Huh? Ah, of course Hoyeon participates as well. Anyway, the first year…”
“Then I’ll do it.”
If Lee Ho-yeon participates, it should be done.
Elise signed her papers without further ado.
“Uh huh?”
“I do. Senior.”
Then she cast her eyes at the clerk, who blinked.
She was surprised by the clerk for a moment, but then she smiled as she thought the job was over and she went to take the papers.
“Thank you. Miss Ellis seems to be very close with Hoyeon?”
“… Uh, nothing like that.”
“When Ho-yeon said he was participating, he signed without hesitation. It’s fortunate.
“…”
Even after seeing the clerk slowly disappearing while dissing the disgraced vice president of the student council, Ellis couldn’t refute anything.
Come to think of it, why did she sign with Lee Ho-yeon’s participation?
Fortunately, it didn’t take long to worry, and I was able to come to a conclusion soon.
“…Because we need to talk about massage.”
I have to talk about the centaur, and I have more than one or two things to say.
Mum.
Of course it’s okay to talk over the phone or message, but Ellis averted her eyes from the truth.
“Massage, centaurs, business… Yes. You have to see these things face to face.”
She just kept saying the same thing over and over again.

Wednesday morning.
I saw Da-eun Nam off at the entrance.
“I’ll go first. Hoyeon-ah.”
“Brother! I’m going!”
“Okay. See you later.”
The reason Nam Da-eun sent her sister first is because she has something to say about Scarlett and Issa.
What have you been up to? Scarlett came in late yesterday and she only talked to me about the house this morning.
And she started talking about something surprising.
“… 20 billion?”
“Yes. You said to get it on good terms, right?”
“I did say so. Yes…”
How on earth did you find good conditions?
The only houses I’ve lived in are villas, studios, and academy dormitories, but suddenly a house worth 20 billion won doesn’t feel realistic.
“I found the best house in the area. Land around the academy is originally expensive.”
“That’s true. Uh, but 20 billion won.”
“Certainly Liliana-nim and Nam Da-eun are living in the house, so it’s not a waste of money, right?”
Scarlett opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth.
Pretending to be surprised
“It can’t be. I, ha ha. Yes. Do as you please.”
Seeing that smiling face, he must have done something, but he kept it hidden until the end, turning around.
“You didn’t spend money on something strange, did you?”
She asked just in case, but Scarlett firmly shook her head.
“Absolutely no. Rather, I got it at a much lower price than the market price. Even if I sold it after living for a few years, the market price difference would be huge.”
“It’s okay. If that’s the case.”
Actually, I would be angry if it was my money, but it’s not my money.
She actually intended to give Nam Da-eun the 30 billion won she stole from the buyer’s guild.
But I refused to accept it, so I had no choice but to accept it.
It’s not a waste to say that I used it to buy a house.
“… But why are you laughing?”
“I didn’t laugh, it’s big.”
That smile is just unsettling.
“Is it okay if I don’t check it myself?”
“Yes. Don’t worry.”
I don’t mind not giving out my address, but… I wouldn’t know if it was a house where I live alone, but since it’s a house where I live together, I would have looked for something good.
It must be a little extravagant house.
I bet you didn’t buy something like this [10 billion pottery (genuine)], Right?
Then I would be really angry.
“Okay. Then go. Play with Liliana.”
Liliana locked herself in her room, saying she had to broadcast harder before she moved out.
‘He’ll be here for a week anyway, but he’s in a hurry too.’
Saying goodbye to Scarlett, I also exited her dorm room.
Arrived at the academy and headed to first year A class.
This place was always crowded.
– Even if you bring alcohol to the anniversary party….
– Do you want to play with me?
The cadets were gathering among themselves and talking about the commemorative party.
Seeing that the story of the anniversary party is spreading like this, it must be famous.
That must be a lot of work to do.
Thinking about it again made me feel annoyed, but I persevered.
Naturally, I approached Lucy and Rumi, who were already sitting.
“Hoyeon. Hello.”
“Lee Ho-yeon, you’re really strong. Isn’t that enough to hurt you once?”
“What are you talking about?”
As I said hello and sat down between Lucy and Rumi, Lucy looked at me curiously.
“The news said it was a terror attack on a massive scale… Of course, I’ve seen the professor deal with it in an instant.”
Lucy must have remembered Imsol’s magic, and her body trembled slightly.
Well, since I was surprised, how surprised were the others?
I saw the news on the way home, so I heard that the Magic Society invited me, so what will happen?
“I’m glad you weren’t hurt though… Hoyeon-san.”
“Thank you, Rumi.”
Before class started, I chatted with the Lucy Rumi twins.
From what you did yesterday, to ‘Do you have time today’ at the end.
I averted my eyes, trying to ignore the desire in Lucy’s eyes as she asked the last question.
“…I have to go to the student council today.”
“Student Council?”
“Yeah. For the final exam celebration.”
“Oh, that’s right. I got a message. They told me to participate unless there’s an emergency.”
“I’m also a member of the student council. They called me to do some work.”
“That’s amazing. Hoyeon-san…”
“Tsk. Okay. Pass today! Oh, by the way, it’s the final exam right after the celebration, so what?”
Rumi looked up at me from beside me, her eyes twinkling, and Lucy turned her fan annoyedly.
“Is that already? I need to study for my final exams.”
Time is so fast.
No, is it slow?
My schedule is full every day, so there is so much to do.
“Hoyeon-san… You’re good at studying.”
“So. Why are you good at studying when you’re always playing?”
“We have to do it in advance. In advance.”
I prepared for the class while receiving the envious twins’ gaze.
In fact, my grades are because of the privilege, but I reached the point where I even cheated myself for a perfect lie.
I think of myself as a genius.
Then you will be able to lie without being stabbed by your conscience!
“Then, please let us know about our studies… In the club room.”
“That’s good! Can’t do it today, starting tomorrow?”
The perverted twins invited me with an insidious ulterior motive.
“You guys aren’t going to study… Jeop. If you don’t have an appointment, I’ll let you know.”
Of course I didn’t refuse.

“Wow, it’s a celebrity! A celebrity!”
“… Quiet.”
Im Sol frowned at Min Ye-ji, who was surprised to see her.
“Ahyoung, did you see Sol’s magic? He just floated up in the sky and hit the light. All the demons melted away.”
“You, don’t drag Ayoung into it.”
“I saw it. It was cool. Why? Isn’t it embarrassing?”
Seeing her friends teasing her, Im-sol sighed, but on the other hand, she was grateful.
Even after seeing that ability, she treated me as usual.
But even if she supported herself in the same way, she didn’t feel the throb she felt from Lee Ho-yeon.
‘… It’s serious.’
Jjook-
While Im Sol sucked her coffee to clear her mind, Min Ye-ji started teasing Baek Ah-yeong, her next target.
“Well, there are professors who like students, right?”
“I-I’m not a professor, I’m a nurse, so it doesn’t matter? A nurse is an employee.”
“Sol-ah, Sol-ah, look at what Ah-yeong is saying. Huh? Look.”
“Oh, sorry. I was thinking about something else. What is it?”
Im Sol, who thought of Lee Ho-yeon as she nodded her head roughly, finally came to her senses at Min Ye-ji’s words.
“Mr. Ho isn’t a professor. So it’s okay for her to like cadets…!”
Kyak kyak-
Min Ye-ji poignantly pranked Baek Ah-young, who lowered her head and drank her drink, her face flushed.
When the three of them meet, this kind of conversation always goes back and forth.
Min Ye-ji teases Baek Ah-young, and Im Sol stops Min Ye-ji.
But today was different.
“… If we like each other, wouldn’t the other conditions matter?”
Imsol pretended to be nothing and sucked her coffee.
But as soon as those words came out, the table was enveloped in silence.
The two know that they have seen Im Sol for a long time.
That this woman is not one to give such a feminine answer.
“… Sol?”
“Ah, competitor…”
Min Ye-ji looked at Im-sol with eyes that couldn’t believe her, and Baek Ah-young almost spewed her drink.
“Please don’t look at me with strange eyes. It’s just my opinion.”
Im Sol expressed her opinion for her self-defense, but Min Ye-ji would not listen to it.
“Lee, Ho-yeon Lee. This bastard. He’s trying to steal all my friends…”
Min Ye-ji closed her eyes tightly as if sad, but the corners of her mouth were raised.
I felt good because something fun happened.
“No, I haven’t stolen it yet… Calm down.”
“Ah, yet…”
When Baek Ah-yeong heard Im Sol’s words, she opened her mouth as if her soul had gone out of her mind.
Because it was the words that confirmed that Imsol was also her own competitor.
“Sol, tell me the truth. Why did you do that!
“Ha….”
Min Ye-ji started to cling to Im-sol like a lion looking for her prey, and Im-sol smiled at Baek Ah-yeong, who was wide open as if in a state of fascination.
If I’m going to get caught someday anyway, I don’t think it’s bad to get caught in advance.
