Control room.

There were many professors there.

They were watching the scene of a dome-shaped stadium divided into hundreds of screens.

All of them had talents related to observation.

"Who will rank first this time?"

"I'm betting on Lee Seoha to take the top spot. He really keeps his cards close to his chest."

"He doesn't reveal much, but... what's truly frightening is that he keeps unveiling something new even when pushed."

Most of them were focused on Lee Seoha.

Their fascination with the top student was already quite high, but this time's top student was extraordinarily special.

He was the first to complete the Tower of Trials, and was a character whose talents were difficult to predict.

The Emperor was the person he had been most interested in recently.

Emperor.

The school was set up 35 years ago, and considering that she had been interested in fewer than ten people so far, he was a person worth paying a lot of attention to.

"His actions are normal. No signs of physical training."

"That's evidence of being chosen by mana."

"He probably didn't need training. Haven't you seen Professor Song Rahee's lab data? That boy shrugged off Professor Song Rahee's curse as if it was nothing."

To describe him, you could say he was a sort of oddball.

Something they couldn't make sense of with their usual logic.

"They only needed three people to defeat the shadow snake in the finals."

"And during that process, they killed the shadow snake with a single strike. It was a blow delivered by Lee Seoha."

Saint Royal Rose.

He is an amazing person. He is known as someone who might be born once a century in a place called Paradise.

However, if they were asked whether he was a match for Lee Seoha, they would be left wondering.

Yet, they only hoped.

That they could display the boy's talents.contemporary romance

"What's going on..."

One professor muttered blankly while staring at the screen.

The focus was on watching the dome, but their talents allowed them to observe other things as well.

The sky seemed like it was about to break like glass.

And Emperor Seo Yebin's star archer had come out to intercept him.

And the adversary was a monster known as one of the Seven Evils.

"...Xiong'e?"

Screens that were being shown at the same time started to flicker. They turned to black and white, and soon all of them switched off.

"The Mines are attacking! Tell everyone right away!"

"I can't make a call! It seems like they've disabled electronic devices or blocked us from calling!"

"It looks like a spatial cut-off. You can't see inside the dome at all!"

"Then move! Now! The students are in danger!"

The control room turned into a frenzy instantly.

Seo Yebin is extraordinary.

However, the school's power resting on her and her helper stars wasn't as impressive as one might imagine.

One of the professors took a deep breath.

Maybe, no, definitely. A major disaster was on the horizon.

"What the hell...."

I looked shocked.

Because what I saw was simply too unbelievable.

Ping! Ping!

My phone started vibrating instantly.

There was only one explanation for it.

The backup phone number I gave to Seol Hwaryeon kept ringing.

Already, the number of messages from Seol Hwaryeon was more than 10.

...Was she always this way?

Having played this game so many times, I had acted as Seol Hwaryeon and even managed to win her over as Kim Seohyun. I thought I knew Seol Hwaryeon quite well.

But I never saw this side of her.

Not when she was always smiling and inviting me out on a date.

"Hey, the weather is nice today. Want to go hunt some Mines?"

I remembered when she invited me out with those words.

...This seems better than that, right?

Or not?

I sighed deeply and replied.

Seol Hwaryeon

-Old man.

-Is this number really yours?

-Some guy named Lee Seoha gave me your number, so I'm texting you.

-If it's not, please send a message.

-Lee Seoha...that guy is a genius, it might be hard but I'll give it my all.

I felt a shiver run down my spine.

But to say I look old, that's rough.

Doesn't this mean I'm extraordinarily handsome?

Considering I tweaked my original character slightly and became an astonishingly handsome man.

Me

-Don't do it.

Seol Hwaryeon

-Yes.

-But are you really the old man?

Me

-The man with the mask from two weeks ago.

Seol Hwaryeon

-It is you!

After that, Seol Hwaryeon sent about 50 messages in a row.

I glanced at my phone with tired eyes.

"Student Lee Seoha, are you ready?"

"Yes."

The assistant who came in place of Professor Han Yoonbi asked me.

I stood up and walked towards the arena.

They give you about 10 minutes to check your own condition and to plan how to defeat your opponent in a practice fight.

10 minutes had passed.

I downed three potions and walked towards the practice fight.

-How do you feel?

'I'm good.'

My condition is at its best.

The problem is just that the opponent is challenging.

'The issue isn't just that.'

Mines will always target Seo Gayeon.

The stellar power possessed by Seo Gayeon is the Mines' natural enemy.

Simply being exposed to that light can reduce the power of the Mines, an amazing strength.

If Hong Yuhwa has the nickname "Pillager."

The nickname given to Seo Gayeon is....

I stopped my thoughts there.

Saint Royal Rose entered the match with a confident smile.

"Ha, on such a good day. How could I not pay homage to the god of light that I serve?"

"......"

I stood baffled at his strange behavior, before realizing that's just his nature.

I let out a silent sigh and noticed that the Heavenly Demon was gazing in a specific direction.

'Heavenly Demon?'

[Master, it would be best to avoid a fight.]

'What do you mean?'

I gave the Heavenly Demon a puzzled look.

The Heavenly Demon was fixated on one spot. I followed her gaze and looked up at the sky.

"What the...."

At the same moment, Ersil muttered in shock.

...The sky was breaking apart.

"From this point forward, all matches are put on hold! All students gather up!"

"Professors, protect the students on the edges! The students' safety is our primary concern!"

I stared at the sky, not quite believing what I saw.

They're actually going to assault the school?

To stand against Emperor Seo Yebin, they would need someone of equal caliber.

That individual should be at least strong as her seventh star.

And I'm well aware of this phenomenon.

Xiong'e was warping the sky with his own strength.

...If that's the case, this place isn't safe either.

I quickly scanned my surroundings.

The first thing I had to do was locate Seo Gayeon.

"Can you reach the outside?"

"I can't! It seems like there's a shield blocking everything between the outside and inside!"

If it's a shield, that's somewhat comforting.

With the power of the Black Heavenly Demon Sword, I can shatter it soon.

But more importantly, Seo Gayeon....

"Who are you searching for?"

"...I just found her."

Seo Gayeon, who was standing next to me, smiled slightly.

"Were you looking for me?"

"Yes, as I explained before, the Mines can't use your magic."

A while back, the spirits who were after Seo Gayeon, although they were evil, disappeared as if vaporized the moment she activated the power of the stars.

"So, Seoha, you need me now?"

"Yes."

Seo Gayeon laughed warmly at my words.

"Your life could be at risk, will you help?"

"Of course. Think about how much Seoha has helped me up until now."

"Thank you."

"But what are you planning to do?"

"Can you use some of the star's power?"

"I can only use a tiny bit right now."

"That's okay."

Even a tiny bit doesn't matter.

Because I can trap the Mines with it.

I took Seo Gayeon and headed towards the barrier.

Such shields typically have a core at their center, and if you disable that core, it is ridiculously simple to remove.

'In other words, a shield attempts to imprison you by making the core difficult to reach.'

So, escaping the shield is challenging.

However, in my case, it's far too easy to escape.

The issue is that it's not the same for others.

"Professor Song Rahee, can you identify the type of shield this is?"

"......This is far beyond typical. It appears a highly skilled shield master must have spent at least a month creating this."

Professor Song Rahee's face had turned completely white.

Break Spell.

Even for her, whose main job was to break magic, the cast shield was of a unique standard.

Still, her advanced spell-breaking knowledge would let her dismantle it.

"It's a shield that totally cuts off space. Any sort of external intervention could only be easily demolished if the Principal himself steps in. If I were to do it myself, it would take at least 3 hours."

That would take too much time.

"Then......"

"It'll probably be tough for us to escape by ourselves."

"So, we have to safeguard the students here until the Principal arrives?"

The professors wore stern faces.

They were up against individuals who had broken into the school with a clear purpose.

They had the safety of the students to worry about, without even being able to determine what methods the intruders were using.

Kwaaang!

At the same time, a loud noise echoed from one side, and dark magic could be felt starting to vibrate.

...It was the arrival of the Mines.

"Professor Song Rahee, please start dismantling the shield first. We will handle the Mines."

Those who had checked their weapons, led by Instructor Seo Woojoo, began to step forward.

And then, the fight began.

Professor Song Rahee tried her best to analyze the core of the shield and untangle it.

She wouldn't have, if it hadn't been for a single word from the top-ranking student appearing next to her.

"......That's not the correct way."

Lee Seoha, who had inadvertently let the words escape, gasped.

enjoy! :)
