I Became the Only Non-mage in the Academy

For Seo Ga-yeon, Lee Seo-ha was an exceptionally special existence.

He not only treated her well but also seemed to possess knowledge of the future, always leading the conversation with foresight.

He was like a protagonist.

He recognized the talent in her that no one else had seen, a favor for which Seo Ga-yeon felt deeply indebted to Lee Seo-ha.

Even though Lee Seo-ha said, “You could have done it,”

‘I wonder.’

As she awakened to the power of starlight magic, she thought it would be challenging. Perhaps she would only awaken when her life was in danger, after being expelled from school and embarking on a hunter’s life.

‘Or perhaps die.’

From that perspective, Lee Seo-ha was undeniably her benefactor.

She was determined to repay his kindness.

With that resolve, Seo Ga-yeon slept only three hours a day, gradually mastering her magical powers.

Her ranking among the students noticeably improved.

From being the last, she suddenly climbed to the top 300.

Then she realized,

‘The wall is high.’

As her ranking rose, she noticed the increasing level of the students. Lee Seo-ha, at the top, was far beyond her imagination.

It seemed she would spend her lifetime trying to catch up to Lee Seo-ha.

‘Do I even need to?’

Doubting her path, Seo Ga-yeon candidly asked him if she was necessary.

“You are needed.”

Lee Seo-ha said, looking at her without a hint of doubt.

“I’ve been watching you for a long time.”

“If it’s hard, if Ga-yeon really finds it tough, if you hate it, I’d stop.”

Seo Ga-yeon imagined a future without herself by his side. It was too dreadful to even contemplate.

Seo Ga-yeon understood.

The power Lee Seo-ha possessed resonated with her starlight magic.

These were Lee Seo-ha’s true feelings. A future without her, too dreadful to even imagine.

Seo Ga-yeon felt her face heat up without realizing it.

She didn’t know why. It’s embarrassing. But it felt good. She felt as if she were flying.

She didn’t remember much after that. She just agreed with him in a daze and parted ways with Lee Seo-ha.

However, his words continued to echo in her mind.

Lying in the dormitory, until the sun rose again, Seo Ga-yeon couldn’t sleep, just recalling those words.

Seo Ga-yeon agreed. But, with a flushed face, she ran back to the dormitory.

-It reminded me of the old days.

-Is that so…

Eternal Heaven replied vaguely to Black Heaven’s words.

-Yes, the previous Heavenly Demon imposed herself… but Lord Seo-ha is purely heartless, which is more wicked.

-That’s right. The master is more wicked than you think. He takes more care and effort to groom me.

-That’s not what I meant… Or, have you fallen already?

-?

Eternal Heaven sighed, and Black Heaven tilted her head. Me, wicked? That’s too much.

‘I should have eaten with her.’

After sending Seo Ga-yeon off, I felt an emptiness in my stomach. In my previous life, I would have skipped meals out of annoyance, but now I had to force myself to eat to build my body.

‘The only downside of Black God Martial Arts.’

Black God Martial Arts perfected the body to near perfection. And with each peak reached, it naturally broke limits, evolving the body.

It was more of a mystical or magical power than a martial art.

Anyway, I wandered the streets. After about a minute of serious contemplation about what to eat to avoid rumors, I headed to a nearby restaurant.

I felt like having Western food for a change.

“Ah?”

As I entered the store, I saw a familiar silhouette. Golden hair and eyes engraved with stars. Ershil was there.

“Are you here to eat?”

“Yeah, Ershil, you too?”

“Yes, just now…”

Looking at Ershil’s table, she had already eaten more than half of her meal.

“Would you like to join me?”

Ershil asked with a slight smile. I nodded.

“But I didn’t expect you to come to a place like this.”

“Do I not fit in here?”

“No, you fit in very well, but you usually eat so modestly.”

What’s wrong with pork dishes?

Ershil laughed heartily at my displeased look.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Just because it’s funny.”

I wondered what was so funny about my face. Come to think of it, in my past life, there were occasionally women like that.

I called the waiter and ordered casually: a gorgonzola pizza for one, vongole pasta, and a steak for one.

As the waiter left, Ershil, with a playful smile, said,

“Did you know, Seo-ha, you’re really hot in the shadows these days?”

“Me?”

“Yes, you’ve practically started a religion. Your faithful followers are doing a lot of promotion.”

Ershil giggled, casting a barrier of magic around us.

“……”

My face grew increasingly sour. Honestly, I wanted to stop it, but it was impossible because my special stat, Faith, started to geometrically increase.

Faith would later evolve into a power that strengthens the Energy of Defying Heaven.

I discreetly checked my Faith stat.

Special Stat

Faith: 15

……No other stat has risen this fast. You’d think that Faith rises faster the more sincere and numerous the believers who worship you as their deity.

‘I guess it could be seen as my aptitude.’

And this aptitude was greatly influenced by the talents I currently possessed: “Bewitching Genius (B+)”, “Devilish Charisma (C+)”.

“The food is ready.”

“Ah, thank you.”

As I chatted with Ershil, the food arrived quickly. I dipped a piece of pizza in honey and put it in my mouth.

“Have you heard about the recent rumors?”

“Rumors?”

“Yes, there’s a rumor about a woman laughing while killing Mines in the middle of Seoul, and a masked man working together with her to exterminate Mines.”

“……Is that so.”

Sorry, but the identity of that masked man was right in front of you.

“But that masked man was wearing the coat I gave him.”

“……Thanks, I’m using it well.”

“Hehe, so that’s your taste?”

Ershil propped her chin with her hand and looked at me.

“So be careful. There’s a rumor that the Nazi side is targeting you.”

Was it because the difficulty was hellish? It’s too soon for such a name to be heard.

“You know, people in Korea don’t seem to realize, but those guys are really dangerous. They refine powers from outer space and ‘forcefully’ turn people into Mines to create magic soldiers.”

“Got it.”

Those guys were really dangerous.

They were one of the countries aiming to overthrow the world.

And in the end, they were the main contributors to the destruction of the world.

In terms of power, they’re like one of the Seven Evils, specifically among the top Three Evils who were residing in that country.

After finishing our meal, we got up from our seats.

“It’s quite nice here, isn’t it?”

“Yeah. There was a reason you were here.”

“My taste is exquisite, so just trust me.”

As I joked around with Ershil and walked, we encountered Hong Yu-hwa’s group on the street.

“Hm? Why are you together?”

“Who knows? Why do you think so?”

Ershil replied with a grin to Hong Yu-hwa’s question.

“What, isn’t that the person Hong Yu-hwa has a crush on?”

“Could it be Yu-hwa’s been outdone? She’s collected over 200 pictures of that person.”

……If this was a downside, then so be it. My body, refined by Black God Martial Arts, caught almost any sound. Due to the nature of the Heaven Defying Body, things like barriers were pretty much useless.

Ershil glanced at Hong Yu-hwa and me for a moment, then mischievously linked her arm with mine.

“……Well, what if we are actually like this?”

“What?!”

“……Don’t joke around. Yu-hwa really believes it.”

“Hehe.”

Ershil smiled playfully. It was a smile that seemed somewhat bitter.

“Well, anyway, we’ll be going together now. Have a nice meal~.”

Ershil and I headed to the dormitory together.

“Hmm.”

I looked at myself in the mirror.

In the mirror was a handsome man with black hair. Even I had to admit that I looked good. Perfect proportions, tall stature, a face that could outshine most actors. I got up early and styled my hair with a hairdryer.

‘Is this okay?’

I usually wore a hoodie over my uniform, but today I had put on a dress shirt.

-Master? Do you have a girlfriend now?

-Right? It’s the first time Seo-ha is paying so much attention to his clothes?

Black Heaven and Eternal Heaven chattered. I ignored them appropriately, checked my uniform, and set out.

‘Is today finally the day?’

Today was quite a historic day.

But also a day that scared me.

As I entered the classroom, it suddenly quieted down.

[Bewitching Genius (B+) is activated. Proficiency has partially increased.]

[Devilish Charisma (C+) is activated. The people around you feel a strange atmosphere.]

“What, what’s this? Why did you dress up so much today?”

“Dress up? I’ve always looked like this.”

I casually replied to Ershil’s question. Seo Ga-yeon looked at me with a strange expression. Kim Ara gazed at me with hopeful eyes.

Kim Seo-hyun and Ershil looked at me with a slight sense of unease.

After a moment.

Soon, Instructor Seo Woo-ju entered.

“As announced, today there will be a joint class with the second year.”

“Oh, today is the joint class?”

“I can understand a joint class for the third year, but the second year seems doable.”

“The second year is nothing special except for the student council president.”

Whispers could be heard here and there.

If we were talking about skill alone, it was a valid point. The current third year was originally called the Golden Age class. But this first year was also being called an unprecedented Golden Age class.

The third year was now considered the Silver Age.

The second year was rated as the worst class in history.

If we sent a student ranked around the 800s to the second year, they would probably rank in the middle or higher.

‘Except for the current student council president.’

The current student council president was a monster. The current student council was also at a pretty decent level, being led by the president.

“Then everyone, let’s head to the joint training room.”

I gave myself one last look in the mirror. Everything was in place.

“……Are you going to confess your love to someone today?”

Park Woon-hyuk, seemingly incredulous at my appearance, commented.

“Not really.”

“Why are you so concerned about your appearance then?”

It’s obvious. I’m going to meet my favorite character, so I have to do this much.contemporary romance

‘I actually wanted to meet them earlier.’

The student council president was busy.

Not just ordinarily busy, but extremely busy. Plus, during the holidays, various issues arose, and with the student council going to a training camp, there was no opportunity to meet.

Anyway, we headed outside for the joint training. We had to move the location because the second-year students were elsewhere. The place was somewhere in Ulsan, Korea.

The second-year students were already there, looking fiercely determined.

It was clear to see.

They must be thinking they couldn’t lose to the first year, driven madly by the student council president.

I turned my gaze. In the center, a woman stood with a confident expression.

“Finally, the freshmen have arrived.”

Her voice was bold.

Unknowingly, I found myself staring blankly at her.

That’s right.

Why hide it?

My favorite character was the current second-year student council president.

Ershil was beautiful.

Cute, and she also knew how to sway a man’s heart. She had no experience in love, but it’s an instinctive intuition. She had a sense for how to be loved by others.

‘……’

So Ershil was confident.

Someday she believed that Lee Seo-ha would be hers. For that day, she refrained from being too eager and maintained a proper distance.

‘Crazy.’

But this precondition naturally assumed that Lee Seo-ha had no other woman he liked.

But now, look at Lee Seo-ha’s eyes.

That’s, that’s…… the look of someone completely in love, isn’t it?

Kim Ara thought.

Maybe today, she might commit murder.

Seo Ga-yeon thought.

After hearing those embarrassing lines yesterday and seeing Seo-ha preparing today, she had been hopeful.

Damn it.
