Chapter 15.1
You did well today.
Good work!
After a long session of meditation, I left the lecture hall while stretching out the stiffness in my joints.
Todays magic class has also been very beneficial to my growth.
According to Professor Noh, my magic and combat skills are already on par with those of the third-year academy students.
Even though I havent joined the academy yet, my magic power and mana manipulation abilities have already surpassed the level of an academy student.
Its only because I dont know the type of authorities I can gain from my attribute and that my experience is lacking that I am only on par with them, but very soon, most graduates will fall behind me too.
The problem of not knowing how to handle my attribute seems it will be resolved very soon though.
[Star Constellation].
Her Highness Soniel Di Kairos, the second princess with the attribute- [Star Constellation], invited me over to her palace.
With her special eyes that can see into ones essence, she will be able to dig into the unknowns of my attribute and gain some information that I am in need of.
My original plan was to meet her at the banquet, but I failed due to an unintentional quarrel.
I was going to ask Amer about meeting her but
I never would have thought she would call me through Leah-sama first.
Jihoo, thank you for looking out for me...
Hmm? Well, its not a big deal.
No, but youre missing out on spending time with Jihye because of me...
The person walking beside me on the way back to the dorms today is Seong Ah-young.
Seong Ah-young: Park Min-hos girlfriend.
Today is probably the first time Im talking to Ah-yeong alone.
Until now, I have always met up with her whilst in the company of Jihye or Park Minho, or with the three or four of us altogether.
Hey, you dont have to worry about that because its pointless. Ive been with her for years now! Honestly, we get tired of seeing each others faces sometimes.
Ah... Your girlfriend would feel sad if she heard that.
Huh? I dont have a girlfriend?
Uh, eh?
Ah-young suddenly stopped in her tracks and I stopped too.
Her eyes widened in surprise, and her small mouth opened as if her facial muscles had lost strength.
Huh?! Werent you two dating?!?
Looks like Jihye never said it. Shes just my childhood friend.
A childhood friend.
Well, she is a childhood friend who only thinks of me though.
No, wait, what...? But I have seen the two of you hugging during the winter break...
Umm, thats just a normal bye-bye for us...
Is that so...??
She stuttered out, looking like she was experiencing some sort of culture shock.
Well, maybe she has misunderstood.
Since that incident in middle school, Ji-hye has become completely dependent on me, and we have truly crossed the line of just being friends.
Since Jihye is a cute and popular woman and she clung to a good-looking man all the time, there is no way she could accept the misunderstanding so easily.
So we started walking again.
I feel like a bad boy and a little excited when I recall how Im walking alone with someone elses girlfriend.
The reason why I am walking with Ah-Young alone right now is because the relationship between her and Amer has become very awkward since the banquet.
The students in the magic class are me, Jihye, Ahyoung, and Amer.
After Jihye gained her powers, Ah-Young felt uncomfortable around Jihye, so until the banquet, when classes were over, Ah-Young would usually walk back with Amer.
However, after the banquet, I noticed that Amer kept an eye on Ah-Young, and Ah-Young discreetly ignored her with a cold attitude.
Both of them tried to hide it from us as much as they could, but it was quite easy for Ji-hye and I to grasp the subtle atmosphere around us.
I winked at Jihye, kicked her and Amer out of the classroom first, and then asked the bewildered Ahyeong to walk back together.
I am certain that something happened at the banquet.
However, I was arguing with a fucking nobleman at that time, and Ji-hye, a nocturnal being, was resting in the break room because she was too tired of keeping her eyes open in broad daylight.
So I dont know whats going on, but if I meet up with Jihye later and compare what we each find out, Ill be able to work out a rough outline of the events that unfolded.
I envy you.
I didnt miss Ahyeong quietly muttering to herself.
She was wearing a neat white dress.
The one-piece dress that came down to her knees seemed to indicate that her body is still pure and had not yet been tainted by a man.
The cute girl has a slightly melancholy expression on her face.
A-Young shook her head to get rid of the jealous thought that popped up and changed the subject of the conversation.
Are your preparations for the duel going well?
Its going well for now. When I looked a little into the guy Im fighting, I found out his academy grades werent very good.
Is that so...? Im glad.
Yeah. I think I would win even if we were to fight right now.
To win, I must first know my enemy.
I investigated him through Amer.
Kyle Byers
He is the descendant of a typical central political aristocratic family who lives by drinking from the cool water under the shade of the first prince.
Kyles attribute is [Stone].
It is literally the most common and insignificant attribute- the stone.
In addition, it is said that he can barely handle the attribute unless only assisted and supplemented with magic weapons.
But I need to make sure Im on my A-game. Ill figure out how to deal with his attributes today, and then Ill crush him in the duel next week.
Yes, Ill cheer you on! Are you meeting Her Highness, 2nd Princess, this evening?
Oh, thats right. I need to get ready as soon as I get to my room.
I wish I could find a way to deal with my attributes too. Fighting, Jihoo! [T/N: KR encouragement]
She cheered me on by clenching and waving her hands in the air.
Her cute support gave me strength.
I also responded with a smile.
