Chapter 401 – Chapter 401. American Dream (3)

“Yes.”
“You are still beautiful. I can’t wait to see what you have to show at this conference.”
“Thanks.”
“By the way, what do you think of the meal I mentioned last time?”
“…A meal? Did you say that?”

I watched the conversation between the two.
Professor Imsol had a similar attitude as usual.
A short answer that eliminates additional conversation, such as when someone who is not particularly interested in talking to you.
After seeing the professor for a long time, I knew right away.

‘It’s not a deep friendship after all.’

I thought maybe it was a connection I didn’t know, but it didn’t seem like that.
You can see the relationship just by looking at it.
This man who has a crush on Professor Im Sol must have pushed him at every conference.
My professor had no interest in anything other than magic, so he wouldn’t have accepted it.
He smiled at the professor’s reaction, then looked at me and started talking.

“Ah… Is this the so-called genius wizard Lee Ho-yeon? To make his academic debut at the age of 20, Wizard Imsol must have suffered a lot.”
“…”

Discomfort from the way you speak.
It’s a talent to talk so gloomily while keeping a smile on your face.
I stared nonchalantly at the cheerful smiling man and turned his head away.
I know how to get rid of these people.

“Professor. Do you know someone?”
“We only know each other by face. He’s a candidate for the next president of the society. So, your name is… Evan?”
“… This is Aiden Miller.”
“Aha. Nice to meet you, Mr. Evan. I am Professor Hoyeon Lee, a disciple of Professor Imsol.”

I looked at Aiden’s face and smiled the same way.
It’s a bonus to look up and down there.
I’m sorry, but I’m not pushing gloomy.

“…Nice to meet you, Aiden Miller.”
“Yes.”
“…”

I looked at Aiden, who held out his hand while maintaining a smile, and nodded his head.
It’s not crouching, it’s crouching.
In terms of angle, I think it was bent about 5 degrees.
A man named Aiden twitched the corners of his mouth.
Looking at the image management, I still don’t know Professor Im Sol.
As long as our professor is good at magic, he doesn’t care what you do.
I turned my attention to Aiden, who withdrew his hand, and spoke to Professor Im Sol.

“Professor. After dinner, shall we go sightseeing together?
“Is that so? Then I’ll figure it out.”

Professor Im Sol got up from his seat as soon as he emptied the dessert.
Aiden at the table didn’t seem to care.
If I had been beaten, I think my pride would be hurt, but Aiden steadfastly continued his words.

“Ah, Mage Imsol. Meal with me…”
“I don’t know if it’s ignorant or if it’s on purpose.”
“… What?”

And I let out a deep sigh of regret.
Should I respect that there is such a passion?
Or should I curse at the guest staring at a mountain I can’t climb?

“If it doesn’t work, it’s right to give up early. Mr. Aiden, I sincerely advise you.”

I chose the latter.
If you decide to kill him anyway, it’s better to be hostile at all.
I don’t even want to be friends with a guy in the first place.

As soon as Aiden heard me, he looked around.
The professor was quite far away from here for the calculation, and Aiden, who confirmed that, immediately let go of his smile and glared at me with ferocious eyes.

“A guy who hasn’t even dried blood on his head yet talks a lot of useless things.”
“After all, there are no good guys among good-looking guys.”

Seeing that the professor reveals his true colors as soon as he disappears, he is definitely the one to kill.
My tentacles are not dead.

“Mage Imsol has been stuck in a closet for a long time, so his eyesight has gotten really bad. To accept a guy like this as a disciple.”
“Yes, yes. You must. Tsk.”

I shook my head and clicked my tongue.
There was a possibility that he would be a genuine hot-blooded man to Professor Im Sol, but judging from what he said, it doesn’t seem like he really likes Professor Im Sol.
Perhaps the professor’s magic is the goal. Or maybe the professor’s name is the goal.

“Do you really think you can handle the seat next to Imsol Mage?
“Thank you very much for the advice.”

I ignored Aiden’s words and walked towards the professor.
When I come to the wizarding society, another strange guy comes to me.
The main character’s life is very difficult.
Then, Aiden blocked my way.

“…My name is Aiden Miller. I am a candidate for the next president of the society. You will regret the attitude you took toward me today for the rest of your life.”

Aiden was emitting his magical energy.
The momentum to summon a magic circle soon.
Certainly, it was not a lie to say that he was the next president of the society. Although he was weaker than Professor Im Sol, he was slightly stronger than me.
But I was not afraid and laughed.

“So you want to fight here?”
“…”

Is Professor Im Sol here?
Aiden glanced at Professor Imsol, then narrowed his eyes and walked to the other side of him.
Looking back, I smiled.

‘There are all these weird guys.’

Maybe that guy is a political enemy of Arthur, the president of the society.
When I see it, I have a feeling that it will be so.
I walked towards the professor with a disgusted expression on my face.

“I ate well, Professor.”
“Yes. Is there a place you want to see?”
“… Shall we go see the Statue of Liberty? I’ve never actually seen it.”
“Actually, there’s nothing special around there. Then let’s go there.”

Professor Im Sol had already forgotten Aiden and was contemplating where she would guide him.
A bit pitiful
It’s so serious, but I can’t remember it at all.

‘Of course I’m not part-time.’

I followed the lead professor.
It’s been a while since we dated.

Tuesday.
Today is the second day since I came to America.

On the first day, after eating, I went around sightseeing spots in New York, but there was really nothing special.
Surprisingly, it’s the first time.
These days, there are many strange things about Korean buildings.
After magic became widespread, there were many truly magnificent buildings.
At least, it was nice to walk around with the pretty Professor Imsol by my side, but originally, the pleasure of traveling included spending a hot night at her dorm.
Without it, I felt less.

Anyway, I decided to take a break today.
We returned from lunch at the restaurant and sat on the sofa.
The professor was looking through the thesis to be presented, and I was lying in a daze and asked something that came to my mind.

“Come to think of it, conference presentations are very noisy. Are you really interested in professors?”

It’s no different, starting with the news and even passing by ordinary people gossip.
I didn’t know Professor Sol Im would be so popular.

“Is it because of you?”
“Are you the president?”
“Yes. This time, when my student said he found something amazing, he said he would grow the plate.”
“Ah….”

I launched my smartwatch and checked the news.

– [Genius wizard Lee Ho-yeon’s wizard debut with wizard Imsol]
– [This announcement is a great discovery that will overturn the wizarding society!]
– [Genius wizard Im Sol and Lee Ho-yeon raise Korea’s name once again!]

“I’m upset.”

For some reason, I laughed and laughed.
The president of the school. You seem to care a lot about your professor.

“How is the atmosphere at the conference? Is it similar to what you thought?”
“Yes. It’s the first time I’ve seen wizards gather like this, so it’s amazing.”

Besides, they are all of a high standard.
Equal to or greater than me.
The level was higher than that of the academy professors.
The professor looked at my expression and smiled.

“My pupil is cute.”
“I do have some regrets. I wish I had a place to train magic, but there’s no place?”
“Most of the people don’t want to show their training in the first place. Also, conferences are places where papers and research are presented.”
“It’s a place where only those who are serious about magic research.”

I licked my lips with regret.
In fact, I was dissatisfied with continuing to stay with the professor.
Of course it was nice, but it was so hard to be together 24 hours a day.

‘They don’t do it with their mouths because they’re concentrating on the thesis.’

Awesome.
I licked my lips with regret.
Being around 24 hours a day, a creature called a man inevitably becomes unbearable.
But I can’t explain this to a woman, so it’s a pity in many ways.
Then, the professor continued.

“Come to think of it, did the uncle say he wanted to see you today?”
“Today? Is it because of that secret sorcery or something?”
“No. He said he wanted to see some of your magic.”
“That’s right. We were supposed to teach you magic.”
“Then you should take a look.”
“I like it.”

There is nothing to do anyway.
Living with Professor Im Sol makes me anxious, so I can’t even study magic.
You’ll get a headache if you even get caught.

Or, ‘Kyaaak- I’m washing my clothes-.’ It would be nice if there was a similar incident, but it never happened because he was such a thorough person.

“Then prepare immediately. Let’s go.”
“Yep.”

I got up from the sofa and prepared to leave.

Auditorium a little far from the hotel.
Arthur, the president of the society, was standing in front of me.

“Take good care of me.”
“Um. Yeah. It’s been a while since I left active duty, but I’m still young at heart. You can think of me as an older brother and treat me comfortably.”
“Ah yes.”

I only said one word, but I already feel uncomfortable.
Could this be magic?
Professor Im Sol said he would see how she taught her students, and she was watching from the sidelines.
Arthur held her up and continued.

“Cadet Lee Ho-yeon said his goal was to become stronger, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Is there a reason you want to become stronger? If not a reason, I also like a specific goal or direction.”
“Of course it is.”

There are many reasons to become stronger.
To ensure my life and the safety of the women.
And to break the pandemic and the demon king.
But right now, that’s the goal right in front of me.

“I have to beat Professor Im Sol.”
“… Sol?”
“Yes. I have to win no matter what. The professor decided to grant my wish.”

Arthur heard me, his eyes widened, and he smirked and turned his head away.
Then she talked to Professor Imsol.

“Sol-ie, you seem to be loved by Hoenn.”
“… What are you talking about. Really.”
“That’s strange. Didn’t you say that you don’t like me as a disciple? Maybe it’s better to refuse quickly.”
“… It’s not yet. Mister. I’m really going to get angry. Don’t say anything weird.”
“I got it, I got it.”

The professor turned a slightly reddened face, which was incredibly cute.
After all, I have to ask for something tonight.
Arthur looked at me after teasing Professor Im Sol enough.

“Well, it’s good. The goal is high, so I’m inclined to tell you.”
“Yes. Thank you very much. Shall I show you the magic first?”
“No. The best class for a wizard is sparring.”
“… Yes?”
“You need to practice sparring to catch the little things. Get ready.”
“…”

I felt like I finally understood the cause of the professor’s love for Dalian.
I magically worked.
But at the same time, I had my doubts.
Arthur has already retired from active duty. She wouldn’t be able to defeat me just because she’s against me now.
Well, there’s no need for me to worry about that. The president of the academy must have plans of his own.

“Then let’s go!”

Pounding-

I turned my magic power and looked straight ahead.
