Chapter 55 – Episode 55. Conscience
“Ha….”
Dog-like academy bastards.
Lim Sol muttered as he buried himself in the VIP seat.
It was nice to have a good award for Lee Ho-yeon.
The remorse was relieved, and it was good to properly compensate the student who worked hard as a teacher and an adult… Things got too big.
The size of the awarding ceremony has grown to the point where Im Sol, a professor at the academy, has to attend.
And since it is a place where many important people gather, troublesome things happened.
“It’s been a while. Professor Imsol.”
An old man came up and spoke to me. I hate to answer, but I can’t be cold-hearted because it’s a refusal to sponsor the academy.
In a big way, he is the one who provides research funds for Im Sol.
“Yes. Long time no see.”
“This is the first time since the presentation at the last magic society. The presentation at that time was really impressive. How is the research these days…”
Imsol didn’t like the annoying conversation, but he knew it was necessary, so he endured the conversation.
After exchanging meaningless greetings with many people and receiving dirty glances from old people a few times, I felt tired.
“Ah, you crazy old bastards… I really don’t have much time left.”
There are not many days left to surprise the foolish wizards who acknowledge career rather than performance.
Lee Ho-yeon’s new magic operation method.
When the process of organizing them is over, the research results will be presented at the Magic Society.
When that time comes… Imsol thought he would reach a point where he wouldn’t have to worry about other wizards.
Dump.
At that time, someone took a seat next to Imsol.
“Sol~. It’s been a while~?”
“Uh?”
Hearing the familiar voice calling him, Im Sol turned his head and saw a familiar face in the seat next to him.
Min Yeji.
At first glance, it seemed like a weak impression, but the thinly torn eyes gave off a strange feeling.
As always, this woman was dangerous.
They obviously interact often, but they were also burdensome opponents.
“Why didn’t you call me? I sent you a business idea summary.”
“You’re not saying you sent that crap as a business idea, are you?”
“Why? Just thinking about Im Sol using magic in a bikini makes the advertisement work…”
“Shut up. I’ll kill you.”
This insane tension. Because of this, Min Ye-ji felt very burdened.
“Ah, what’s going on between us? Are you going to use such scary words?”
“Ha….”
Seeing Min Ye-ji crossing her arms with a sly eye smile, Im-sol began to think about what to do with this crazy bitch.
[The event will start soon, so please take a seat in the audience.]
Fortunately, it became quiet once the Minyejido event started.
Phew. After taking a deep breath, Imsol participated in the event.
At first, even the best students started with awards.
Anyway, the highlights are the Gate Suppression Hunter Award and the Mine Eradication Cadet Award.
Most people knew that the best cadets were just for the purpose of filling the vague commendation ceremony event.
“The level of the kids isn’t bad. I’d believe it, especially if the student council president is on active duty.”
“Well, that’s right. It’s that Munsurin.”
Im Sol also heard a lot about Moon Su-rin’s talent. It’s just that she doesn’t care much because she’s in a different field.
Hwaak-
Min Ye-ji’s eyes flashed gold for a moment.
“Hmm, but there aren’t any kids who can make money.”
“…Are you money for kids too?”
“There is nothing left in the world except money, Sol.”
Saying that, Min Ye-ji’s face was smiling, but she gave off a sharp aura.
After the award ceremony for excellent students was over, the commendation ceremony proceeded only after enduring useless ceremonies and ostentatious events.
“Ahyeong is getting an award…”
“Does she even know the saintess?”
Unlike Im Sol, Min Ye-ji, who is active in her active duty, has wide feet.
“Well, he often comes to our guild as a helper. He also came during the last raid.”
“Umm. Well, it’s Sangvis Guild.”
-Next, commendation will be given to the cadets who eradicate demons.
‘It’s finally out.’
Im Sol concentrated and looked at the aisle where the presenter came out.
After a while, Lee Ho-yeon and Lucy came up on stage hesitantly.
A smile came to Imsol’s lips as a reflection of her gladness.
“Aha… Is that the disciple you favor these days?”
“Mmm, what? How did you know?!”
“How do you know, don’t you understand when you’re staring at me like that?”
Min Ye-ji looked at Im-sol, who was startled, and snorted at her and looked at her podium.
– …… Commended for this. Cadet Lee Ho-yeon.
“It’s called Hoyeon. Shall we see how great the cadet Sol-yi likes is?”
“Haa… You, stop doing weird things…”
Hwaak-
Before Im Sol could finish his words, Min Ye-ji’s eyes lit up with a golden light.
Then, Min Ye-ji’s face, which had been smiling, changed to a serious one.
“…That kid, will it be money?”
Min Ye-ji’s eyes turned to prey eyes, and Im Sol waved her hands, obstructing Min Ye-ji’s vision.
“Hey. Don’t look at me. He’s my disciple, right?”
“Okay, okay. I’ll try.”
“No, don’t try and don’t touch me!”
“Ah, Sol~! Why are you doing this between us~”
“Oops!”

[Rune’s Clan Secretary]
“I thought this would be here…”
‘Clan of Runes’
It is a clan that appeared in the original game.
Specialty is ‘Breaking’
As a clan with a mana form specialized in barriers, from birth, they receive education only for barrier magic and fix their mana form accordingly.
That’s why their barriers were the strongest and the worst. In the end, it was a dangerous race to the point of disappearing from history because of its danger.
The reason I wanted to learn this barrier magic was simple.
As you progress through the story, you’ll come across this ‘rune clan’ barrier magic. Because one of the main villains is a survivor of the ‘Clan of Rune’.
The last time I dealt with Felix, it took me about a minute to break the intermediate level barrier that Felix opened.
If this were a game, the time might not matter. Because the game will proceed accordingly.
But this is reality.
Heroines’ lives could come and go because of the minutes it takes to break a high-level barrier. Reducing that time even a little bit is definitely meaningful.
Besides, I’m not looking for just one person.
If a terrorist attack occurs at the academy as the story goes, you may have to save all the heroines.
It is important to learn the ‘Rune Clan’ barrier magic to quickly release the barrier. Weapons and artifacts can be acquired whenever you have money.
And one more important point. The barrier has excellent sound insulation.
It is absolutely necessary for a smooth relationship (?) With the heroines.
Anyway, I came out of the treasure house with the ‘Rune’s Clan Secretary’, which seemed to be tattered on the outside.
Unfortunately, there was no chance once more for bringing trash.
The dean just asked why he brought it, and he said that he brought it for magic research, and the professor only told him that he was his disciple.
Too bad.
Soon after, Lucy went in, and came out about ten minutes later.
Lucy came with a marble. It must have been something that helped with mana circulation.
It was something I needed, but I had a hunch that I could only get the ‘Rune Clan Secretary’ here, so I had no choice but to give it up.
“I hope it was a good choice. Good luck with your academy life.”
“Thank you.”
I received everything I needed, so I said goodbye and left the dean’s office.
“Ah, I’m hungry. Shall we eat and go in? Call Rumi too.”
It’s already lunchtime. The award ceremony was held all morning, but I had classes in the afternoon, so the time was a bit tight.
“Lucy?”
There was no answer, so when I turned around, Lucy was sitting there with her head down.
“… Hoyeonah.”
“Ok?”
Why is he like this Even the expression hardened.
“Take this.”
Lucy rummaged through her pockets, and then he handed me a magic orb he had taken from the warehouse.
“Hey, what’s wrong? You write this.”
“Umm. It’s okay. I didn’t do anything.”
“But… Because you received it…”
I just found out
Lucy’s arm handing over the marble was trembling.
“Lu, Lucy? What’s wrong?”
I immediately grabbed Lucy’s body and checked Lucy’s face.
Tears welled up on Lucy’s face. The tremors that started in his arms spread throughout his body, and his magic orbs rolled off his hands powerlessly.
“Ho, Hoyeon-ah… I’m having such a hard time. Just thinking about Felix that day makes me afraid… My eyes go dark. Every time I look at this marble, I’ll think of Felix. Me, I… I don’t want to get involved with this any more…”
Lucy looked anxiously at the magic orb that had fallen on the floor, then sat down and began to cry, holding her teary face with both of her hands.
“…”
I thought it was okay because it was quiet, but I never thought it would be this hard.
This state of Lucy did not appear in the heroine status window.
Perhaps it was because his feelings of sorry for me outweighed his dislike of Felix.
“It’s okay Lucy. It’s okay. Felix is already dead. It’s okay…”
Hehe… Why did I have to suffer like that, why did I… Why the hell…?”
“…”
I held the tearful Lucy’s hand and looked up at the sky.
It was a fragile physique for an adult. She was small enough that I could almost hug her shoulders with one hand.
This woman was not the heroine in the game. She was a cadet who should have spent her academy life brighter than anyone else.
I ruined it
I regretted leaving an indelible trauma in the life of such an innocent woman.
I was resentful of myself for making trashy judgments that I would raise my crush a little faster, that I would depend on me a little more, and I wanted to go back to the past.
However, my [Distinct mental strength] Was advising me to get my best word out in the current situation.
And I followed that advice.
“… It’s okay, Lucy. I’ll protect you from now on. I’ll protect you forever.”
It was obvious, but he gave warm comfort and hugged Lucy tighter.
This was the best way to increase the sensitivity.
“Huh… Heuh heuk.
Lucy buried her face in my chest and cried like chicken poop.
Even after getting my cadet uniform wet, the remaining tears made my chest feel damp.
“…”
My mood was dirty, and the blue sky was clear today without a single cloud.
How long have you been hugging Lucy? Lucy soon stopped her tears and turned away from me with her bloodshot eyes.
“Ah, ah. I’m sorry. I suddenly felt a bit sad. Yes. It’s okay, so don’t worry. I’ll go first today.”
Lucy forcibly raised the corners of his mouth while fanning his hand wildly.
“Lucy, hold on.”
“Do not come.”
I had no choice but to stop extending my hand to Lucy.
“Don’t come… Tomorrow, tomorrow let’s meet as if nothing happened. Huh? Okay?”
“… Yes. See you tomorrow.”
At those pleading words, I quietly nodded.
*
I wasn’t in the mood to eat lunch, so I headed to the private room at the training ground.
This afternoon’s class is magic analysis. It’s a magic inverse calculation and barrier breaking class.
Although it is questionable whether Lucy, who wants to prove it, will come to class… Still, I wanted to learn all of the ‘Secret Secrets of the Rune Clan’ before entering the class.
“Ha, now. First of all, the magic form that forms the barrier is the form of connecting hexagons… Oh, fuck.”
I can’t concentrate too badly
Because of [Distinct mental strength], I don’t have emotional ups and downs, but this time it was exceptionally severe.
“Again, connect the hexagonal form of magical energy and distribute the power in a balanced way… Okay.”
To be honest, I’m just saying this to make you feel better, I’ve already figured out the structure.
In the first place, the magic circle and the method of mana management were all written, but there was no way I couldn’t do it with my talent.
“Still, well chosen. Practical ones, um.”
In my left hand, there was also a magical power control orb.
────[ Mermaid Tears ]────
▶ Grade: Severe (A)
▶ It is an artifact that took magical measures by adding a large amount of mermaid’s tears to the mana stone.
▶ Magical operation speed increases, and magic circulation speed increases.
-────────────
“Tears of Mermaids….”
Tear. Having said that, it was a rather unpleasant name.
Belt ring-
Then, a notification arrived on the smart watch.
“What is it? It’s not a message notification sound?”
[A personal message has arrived from Everyday.]
[Yeomi: Hello. Cadet Lee Ho-yeon. I contacted you because I wanted to personally support you. Can you give me a contact number where I can be reached?]
“… What is this?”
To be honest, I needed money at that time, but now it’s okay because I have a reliable money copy machine… Still, since you don’t know, should I send you a reply?
I’m going to send it slowly after class later.
Since the training was roughly finished, I left the training center and returned to the class building.
There were still more than 30 minutes left until class, so there were not many people in the classroom.
“Mr. Hoyeon?”
“Rumi. Are you here early?”
Rumi, like an honor student, had been waiting for 30 minutes.
“Yeah. Come to think of it, Lucy says she can’t come to her class because she’s suddenly not feeling well. Hee-in.”
“… I see. Are you okay? I’ll try calling you later.”
“Yes, yes. Yes.”
She sat down and looked at Rumi’s face, who met her eyes with mine.
She bears a striking resemblance to Lucy. No they look almost the same It’s the color of her hair, the style of her clothes, or her expression. The original version itself seems to be consistent.
Because it’s such a ‘setting’.
“Did you get anything on my face?”
Hehe.
She looked at me as Rumi stroked her face with her hand.
Gulp.
She suddenly had a sex drive.
I wanted to violate and mess up Rumi, who looked exactly like Lucy. I wanted to pour this need for nowhere else into her slender female body.
“Rumi…”
“Yes?”
Since Rumi is 30 minutes before her class, it seems that she is not thinking about her dirty thoughts at all.
“Follow.”
“Yes, yes? Four?”
I blindly grabbed Rumi’s hand and left her classroom.
“Ho, Hoyeon? Why are you suddenly like that? Her face doesn’t look good either… Hoyeon?”
Tak tok tok.
Ignoring Rumi’s words, I dragged Rumi to the outermost bathroom in the 1st grade classroom building as quickly as possible.
I dragged Rumi into the last compartment of the men’s bathroom and opened the barrier of the rune.
A quiet, small, colorless barrier opened up.
The perfect and solid barrier completed in an instant won’t let our sound out.
If you get used to it, you should try it. Is not it?
“Ho-Hoyeon? Wait a minute. Seo, no way now?”
“Rumi. Are we secret friends?”
“That’s right. That’s right, uh, now… Eup!”
I put my tongue in Rumi’s mouth and covered Rumi’s mouth.
