52 – 1. Academy (52)

#52

After confirming that I had arrived near the venue, I checked the button on my sleeve again. Then, naturally, a mirror was placed in front of her to check her appearance.

Do limousines these days have these features? No, it must have been because the woman in front of him was excellent as a servant, so he was ready for this and that.

Unintentionally, my image was reflected in the mirror.

A combination of black hair and black eyes, a color combination that is more fantasy-like in a sense of fantasy. When mana arises according to emotion, a faint red color that is usually hidden behind black overlaps and glows softly.

The ends of the hair also have a reddish tint, but it’s okay because it’s hard to tell them apart unless you stand under the bright sun, but only the eyes that are heavily affected by magic become the same color as the black blood just before dying. Throw away

The dirty eyes, which are usually left unattended as if half covered with shaggy bangs, are also set in shadow by being turned over halfway to the side and back through styling.

Originally, what I had to do with wax was to temporarily hand over the control of magical power, replacing it with a shadow, because it was troublesome to clean up.

“Huh”

“Is there something you don’t like?”

“…No, it’s just annoying.”

To be honest, I just didn’t want to come to such a noisy place.

But if I affirm that I don’t like it here, the servant in front of me will stop the car and repeat the change of clothes until I find clothes I like. Because it’s already been done in the hospital.

Of course, none of the suits I changed into were to my liking.

Obviously, I asked for something as simple as possible and less flashy, but my order only came out with fancy embroidery and jewels that would be worn by royalty or princes.

It was the same as not listening to others for fear of not being the real master and the servant.

I would curse at this if the design was too excessive and weird, but the fit lives according to the fit and the design is gorgeous, but I was more annoyed with it because it matched subtly well.

Of course, the source is ‘Made in Lord’, that is, the work of a company that specializes in clothing production among the companies owned by Se-Rin Lee.

The full name is [Lord’s Lair], Which literally translates to the Lord’s Lair. In other words, the reason why this company was founded is to serve as a substitute for a closet in Se-Rin Lee’s own bedroom.

So naturally, I had to make clothes that fit the class, and the results were successful.

Satisfied with this, Serin Lee released the result to the market. The reason is extremely simple. The clothes worn by the awakened people were so identical that it was distasteful to look at.

Thanks to that, I started my business as a first-class company that also deals with what Awakeners wear. It is a place where the transcendentalist’s certification mark is attached. Design is design, performance is performance. None of them could dare to catch up with an halfway company.

In this world, the Awakener is a savior who moves to protect the world, and at the same time, it is also a product that leads the modern magic industry.

Both have to stand out once to become anything, so rather than a hero who unified the basic base of chewy sticks from old movies, they should wear fancy and professional costumes to emphasize their uniqueness, but what can be remembered for a long time in this market and survive It is a trend in society.

Road Company was a company that was roughly created by diversifying the companies that Se-Rin Lee absorbed belatedly, but because they started a business that could quickly fill the needs of the awakened people, they were able to melt into society faster than other companies.

In the end, after less than 10 years, Lord’s custom-made costumes became a kind of bucket list or achievement for the Awakened.

Though I feel uncomfortable wearing it.

I am well aware of the sound of being full. Of course, player skill is important in the game, but the equipment worn by the character also contributes to victory or defeat.

But that’s a story that only applies to games, and I’m different, right?

Is this also because I instinctively feel repulsive because I feel like I’m dependent on someone else in the end? To be honest, I thought it would be much safer to wear the shadow containing my magical power than to do something like this.

The servant, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth, as if that thought was clearly reflected on his face.

“By the way, the lady told me, ‘You couldn’t stop it even with that great magic power, so please dress modestly.'”

“…Ah, is that so.”

It was a sudden situation. It lacked mana. There were many excuses like this, but the result was like that, so I kept my mouth shut.

I thought I had eaten one shot at best, but I belatedly hit the back of the head. How can you not lose once? Really…

‘Is this really how it comes out?’

It was like that in my dream, but so far, while talking with Lee Se-rin, I kept sending signals in the dark. Like, if you don’t like how I keep rolling my body, you’ll stop me on your own.

My other intention was to ask them to take care of themselves so that I wouldn’t get involved in troublesome things, but it seems that they decided to focus on making sure they didn’t get hurt even if they rolled.

In fact, the answer came from the moment I put on the road company’s clothes like this. As a result, if you don’t get hurt, it’s as if you’ve been told right in front of your face that you’ll enjoy watching them roll.

Yes, this is all good. This world must have been crazy once or twice. But why do you have to adjust your taste to that side?

It could have been a normal suit worn by security guards, but it didn’t give him any dignity, or that if he looked down on him at a social gathering, it would tarnish the young lady’s face.

The suits I’m wearing now are also carefully selected among those that are comfortable to wear and less flashy.

In the first place, since the suit itself is located on the opposite side of comfort, no matter how active it is, it is always cramped.

It is not just a matter of these cramped clothes that I feel like I don’t like them. I hate all of them, combining the complex meaning of having to put on makeup and mix in annoying places.

“…Come to think of it, how long will you follow me?”

“I have been ordered by the lady to stay by the side of the master outside for the rest of the day.”

“Who is the outside owner? I’ll tear your mouth open Correct it quickly.”

You’re swearing as if it were natural. I am a person who personally practices gender equality. If you decide to do it once, you must do it.

Do you think there will be moral concepts left in a world that was destroyed in the first place? Whether it was a man or a woman, a child or an old man, if you pointed it at their head and pulled the trigger, you and I would all squeak in one shot.

In the first place, you are the owner of the house and you are sleeping. Where did you learn such outdated words? Dictionary? Is it a dictionary? Is this the standard in this world? I don’t even know if I know the real sensibility of the era.

“Oh, did you not know?”

As if I was really surprised by my frowning expression, the serviceman blinked his eyes as if he was a bit troubled, and then he manipulated the device placed in the vehicle and showed it to me.

Let’s find out the achievements of ‘Serin Lee’!>

“…What is this?”

I couldn’t muster the courage to look at the contents at the list of phrases that were confusing just by looking at them.

“The lady said that the owner wanted to show off that she was hers.”

“This sh*t”

No matter how long I’ve been messing around with that b*tch, it’s never for such an emotional reason. I’ll admit I’m possessive, but that’s about the attachment to my stuff.

So don’t handle things like this. Rather, he would have taken the initiative to control the information before such an article was published, saying that he could not monopolize my gaze because the eyes of the people around him gathered.

The excuse that it would be more fun to do this would be a better fit.

But that’s not it? Then there is only one answer. I’ll tell you, that’s just a joke. Just because I chewed my lips in a dream and saw a face that looked embarrassed, I was doing that damn thing.

“Ha…!”

I was so full of energy that I couldn’t speak well. Somehow, he said that there were a lot of people and reporters in front of the hospital. I also thought that someone crazy somewhere had an accident and went to the hospital, but damn it was me.

This is all because Ise-rin showed me a document that was her engagement certificate and had my name and a three-legged Jijang stamped on it.

Her jijang asked when she took the picture again, but she belatedly realized that counterfeiting her jijang was as simple as breathing her breath.

It’s a story that you don’t have to cut off the person’s thumb or visit it yourself, just copy the person’s appearance and transform.

Of course, the photo in the article is properly mosaic-processed, but it wouldn’t be too difficult to get the leaked original on the spot.

In real time, the wiki about this serine is being filled, and information about her fiancé and my name was also being sorted out in the skip section.

I don’t know where on earth I got it, but there was a picture of me with Lee Se-rin outside yesterday hanging there. Aside from the spread of information, information about me was flowing too fast.

…It is correct to assume that the woman is deliberately leaking information. When attention is focused like this, there will be people who struggle to dig up more information about me, even if they don’t like it.

You don’t have to go far right away, you’ll know that even if you enter the party venue. It would be more difficult to find among those who stand out to some degree who are not children of families or corporations.

Apart from the children of various business owners, those who talk to me for the purpose of Se-Rin Lee and the [Dragonia Group] She reigns over will literally flock to me like bees who have found honey.

In order to receive and eat even the smallest drop of bean curd, they would hold on until the end. Even without experiencing it, it seemed that the SAN value was already dropping.

In my previous life, I had already tasted how far humans could become ugly for the sake of profit. So I had no choice but to be frustrated about the future that was coming even more bleak.

“My, my serenity…”

I wanted to grab my hair, but even doing so was stopped by a servant who approached me before I knew it, saying that the style I had arranged would be ruined. He gave me an elaborately crafted doll of Lee Se-rin, saying that he was a minister, so he mobilized his magical power and tore it to shreds mercilessly.

But in the blink of an eye, it was restored to its original condition. Looking to the side with cold eyes, I saw a servant taking out a similar doll from his sleeve as expected.

So you’re saying I cleaned up the ripped thing and replaced it with a new doll in that second? Is that possible? No, you didn’t feel a single magical power in the first place? I didn’t bother asking the question out of my mouth. Either way, the answer will be the same.

I kept a poker face so I wouldn’t read my inner thoughts from my expression, but the servant smiled lightly and bowed his head to me, as if I could read even that.

“Yes, I can do anything. I am the maid of a very proud young lady.”

It was such a classic look that I wondered if it would be recorded as the most ideal and exemplary employee if I just drew it in a picture and put it in a textbook.

So I couldn’t get enough of it, so I squeezed the neck of Lee Se-rin’s doll and threw it into the air outside the window.

However, as if even that was expected, I clicked my tongue at the appearance of the serviceman who quickly retrieved it without leaving any afterimages, collected it in his arms, and completed repairs.

This woman is not normal either. If the system could accept this situation as a battle and use the skill [Focus on Combat], Would it show anything? Still, if she couldn’t see it, she had to suspect that even real time was stopping and moving.

I can’t say it’s not because it’s quite possible in this crazy world.

…No f*cking real thing.

I won’t leak the confidential information that I led the Exile project right away, but it will only be a matter of time before that is revealed.

Because she, who has blown this up, has declared that something huge will happen that will allow her to feel the fruits of her Exile project in earnest.

If that happens, of course, it will also shed light on who developed it. Actually, my research was carried out at [Entity], A research company created by Se-Rin Lee, so I was able to find a connection.

The more and more it becomes clear, the more I feel like I’m falling into a swamp. Really f*cked up. What about this

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of any means to defeat it. Blocked, this. Then there is nothing you can do just have to accept It should be considered just like a natural disaster. Otherwise, the lifespan of my hair will be shortened.

Because no matter how hard you roll your head and work hard while getting entangled in these things one by one, nothing will be solved. Let’s just go with the flow.

Of course, I’m going to ignore all the bastards who talk to me today. If you approach me openly, I will kill you. If I emit an aura, won’t they come even if I’m scared?

“…Ah”

Coming to think of it, even that might be half useless to Ban Tae-woong’s gang or to someone stronger than me now. If you’re dealing with one or two opponents like that, you might be able to become yourself by taking advantage of that gap.

In the end, the answer was drawn that not going to the party was the best.

But I can’t do that either. Because there is a watcher on the side like this. If I make up my mind and try to run away, they’ll probably catch it and force it into the party venue.

“…Are these clothes and cars for show off?”

“Yes, we have carefully selected specially ordered items so that you can easily find the difference between our products and those that are not. When it comes to limousines, there’s an openly crest on it, so unless your eyes are gnarled, you’ll spot it. This is also your plan.”

I was dumbfounded at the sight of him closing his eyes and congratulating the owner, who was not even present, and applauding. Crazy year.

“Do you need another one?”

Took

Then, in the face of calmly handing over a doll resembling its owner, the tight will eventually broke off.

I lost. f*ck you for losing I lay down on the sofa in the limousine that was wrapped up so softly that it made me feel uncomfortable.

“…Hah, f*ck…”

I didn’t even have the strength to get angry. I didn’t expect to be able to rest comfortably at the point of being involved with these humans in the first place.

As expected, people can’t be trusted. Later on, if there is a lot of power left on the military side, I should create a one-man company that only works with my summons. If you create a familiar that specializes in negotiations or management, it will work just fine.

I don’t have to go behind the familiars I made and change my words or attack me, so it’s like creating my own power to roll with peace of mind.

As I was looking out the window and thinking about how to rest and boast that I had a good rest, the limousine stopped.

“I have arrived.”

As if it was natural, I went outside before I even got up and glanced at the servant who opened the door.

The conversation with the academy must have already ended by the time you weren’t caught in the middle of the checkpoint. I’m tired of chasing any more. I quietly got up and came out.

Shoot ah

At that moment, a cool breeze blew as if to wash away the stuffiness inside. A view of a huge body of water that could be mistaken for the sea.

Even in spring, the sun has gone down. If such a huge lake is nearby, it should be cold, but the feeling did not deviate much from the coolness.

At first, I thought this outfit was great, but if you look closely, you can see that there is a magical tool disguised as a light near the lake.

‘It’s a barrier.’

No matter how much it was for show off, I thought it was too open for a terrorist attack to occur less than a day ago, but around Chairman Lee, there seems to be a double barrier that is separate from the existing barrier that protects the academy. .

I turned my head and looked at the venue where soft classical music was playing.

I could see that there were already quite a few people besides me, and as soon as I got off, all eyes were focused on where I was. I ignored that gaze and went inside, accompanied by a servant following behind me.

“It’s wider than I thought.”

“The interior of the building contains the magic of superlative space expansion. Perhaps, but at the stage of construction, this building itself was calculated and made with magic tools…”

“It must have been linked with the barrier outside.”

There were so many people, but the air was neither hot nor humid. Just right, not too warm and not too cold. Temperature control, which is mainly used in crowded places such as art galleries, must be working.

“As expected, you are me.”

“…You just wait in the corner.”

I’m not happy at all to hear such words with an expressionless expression. I wanted to leave this woman as soon as possible, so I shook her hand as if to remove it, and the servant slowly lowered his head and agreed.

“Call me when you need it. I will come running anytime.”

No such thing. I received a glass from the waiter who was walking around moderately ignoring the attendant’s send-off. At first, he thought it was a cocktail and expected it, but it was non-alcoholic champagne.

“Tsk”

It’s not alcohol, but it’s something similar, so I’ll have to put up with it for now.

I wanted to extinguish the Thousand Buddhas in this bottle by drinking high-alcohol alcohol, but that’s impossible, so I’ll have to drink it at least with this. I don’t get drunk anyway because of magic power, so if I let him drink, he’ll ask me what’s wrong with me.

Takes a bottle of champagne, sits in the corner of a suitable hall, and looks around.

My first impression from the outside was that it felt like an opera hall, but inside it was a complete ballroom itself.

As the scale of the academy is large, I knew from the beginning that there were various facilities so that I could finish inside the site without going outside.

But I never thought that there was also a dedicated venue for such a large-scale party. Since it is a world where the privileged class such as the nobility and the family are taken for granted, in what sense is it natural?

I was thinking of spending time in the corner like that and leaving the chairmanship as soon as someone finished their official duties as a representative.

Tok Talk

Then someone tapped me on the shoulder. I knew that someone was approaching me, but I deliberately ignored it, but it was very persistent. As I frowned and glanced back, I saw an unexpected person.

“Ah, as expected, Shinwoo Jang was a junior. I’m really glad you’re okay.”

Erika Onohara. It was Heroine No. 3.

She was wearing her black off-shoulder dress with her shoulders completely exposed, and half of her long hair was tied up in a bun. As she was a young lady of a group, her appearance was very natural and well-suited.

“…What is it?”

“I want to say hello. You helped me in a crisis, but you even prevented a surprise attack at the end. He left without a word, so I really wanted to thank him next time I see him.”

Is it true that Se-Rin Lee appeared and kidnapped me that way? It would have been nice if she had erased the situation of being surprised. It’s not bad to erase debt, but it’s best not to get involved if possible.

“I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude. Thank you so much for helping us out. I will bet my name on this and I will definitely repay you.”

There was a slight smile on Erika Onohara’s face as she placed her hand on her chest and lowered her head as she spoke. To be sincere even in places like this, I hope that such a good heroine appeal will be made to Ban Tae-woong, not me.

The problem is that this is not an appeal that comes from calculation, but just goodwill that comes from her nature. It doesn’t matter if I just close my mouth and move on, but if I tell this woman, she’ll just say back that she can’t do that with a confident face.

“I will be grateful for your words.”

For this kind of person, instead of pushing it away, just nod in moderation right now, and time will take care of it.

She had been dragged around by Seline since her childhood and used the aristocratic greeting method that was forcibly beaten into her body.

“Is something wrong?”

“No, it’s the first time I’ve been turned down like this, so it’s a bit fresh?”

I narrowed my eyes at the figure of Erika Onohara, who tilted her head while lightly placing her hand on her own cheek as if she was a little troubled. Why is the last interrogative?

“…I’m sorry to keep you like this, so I’ll just leave. Oh, and finally, congratulations on your engagement.”

I couldn’t help but narrow my eyes as if I had put something astringent in her mouth.

It was a pointless meddling. How nice it would have been if I could have said that face to face.

Her Other than that, it may have been her words and actions out of consideration for me, but from my point of view, they weren’t very welcome. It was because when she finished the conversation normally, as if she had been waiting, the eyes that had been peeking at me from around her rushed to the point of stinging.

Perhaps she thought I was nervous because I wasn’t used to a place like this. That’s why I must have been embarrassed when I returned the perfect etiquette as if it were natural.

I forgot to mention the engagement belatedly, and it must have come to my mind when I was looking for a reason for my etiquette to be perfect.

I understand. I understand, but no matter how much I think about it, I can’t get rid of the feeling that I was being mocked.

Is this natural?

“Isn’t it because the Doctor’s mind is twisted that way?”

I tried to nod my head inadvertently at the whispered words from behind, but I shed my cold eyes. As if it was natural to be there, the servant was seated.

“…” Said the young lady.

In my eyes, the serviceman lifted this Serene stuffed toy up to his face and started waving his arms. It was an act that seemed like an excuse to anyone, but it seemed like she would have done enough for that woman, so she couldn’t help but say it.

“…What are you doing?”

“It is practice. My job right now is to assist the master outside.”

“No, that sucks… Ha, let’s not talk.”

Sickest b*tches. Let’s ignore it’s ignoring No, I wonder if they can move beyond that as they please.

I put my life into it and crumpled my forehead. You don’t even need to generate magic.

For the skill [Charisma], The effect can be maximized by using magical power, but it is possible to increase the presence even if it is used as it is.

As I was expressing the emotions of ‘I’m not in a good mood’ and ‘If I get caught, I’ll kill you’, so that anyone can see, I could feel that the eyes that were heading this way were hurriedly drained.

f*ck. It’s like this.

“That’s no fun. Said the lady.”

“Shut up. f*ck everything like this, before you make up your mind and hide in a field dungeon.”

“Okay.”

Only then did I let out a deep sigh as if to let go of my anger when I saw the servant become quiet as she held the stuffed toy in her arms.

“Oh, Shinwoo!”

“…Ah, damn it”

I can’t get a little rest. Really. I closed my eyes when I saw Ban Tae-woong, Lucia Valentia, and Liri approaching from the other side.

I don’t think it will end soon. Someone call the organizers. Please…
