‘Why did I turn around…’ Feeling an odd prickling sensation, Ariel looked back toward the last row and immediately regretted it. In the middle of the back row, she spotted a familiar face she had encountered yesterday. Skylar, with his piercing blue eyes, was staring straight at her as if ready to shoot arrows. Awkwardly, Ariel quickly turned away, but Skylar made no effort to hide his stare, keeping his eyes fixed on her. ‘It would have been easier if I didn’t know…’ Ariel…- 871.7 K • Ongoing
- ̊ · : * ✧ * : · ̊ 「 Wednesday 10:00 AM — Advanced Magic Warfare ( Academy Building 12, Training Room 5 ). 」 The Advanced Magic Warfare class, infamous for its difficulty, didn’t seem to have any freshmen attending, but the number of students gathered was by no means small. In fact, it was more crowded than any class Ariel had attended so far. Ariel quietly took a seat in the corner, surrounded by a sea of students filling the large classroom.…

- Skylar, who had been chasing after her relentlessly during the teleportation commotion, was now leaning against Ariel’s dorm room door, blocking the way. He seemed to have lost his jacket somewhere, standing there in just his shirt. As he raised his head, which had been looking down at the floor, he turned to face her. His blue eyes had already found her several times today. “You’re finally here?” From the way he spoke, it seemed like he had been waiting there ever since they were forcibly…

- She glanced around, trying to figure out how to get back to the dormitory. Several large buildings with white roofs atop red brick walls surrounded her. Not many people could be seen through the white window frames. The grass was neatly trimmed, and white paths converged, leading to a central square. She didn’t recognize this place at all. She hadn’t even passed by here before. "Where am I?" Ariel wandered around in a daze, glancing here and there. The place was practically deserted. "What…

- An aristocratic greeting, showing affection and respect, was a common practice in high society. However, it felt out of place being done in the shadows between buildings. Despite the awkward setting, Lexius bowed and gracefully kissed the back of her hand. Ariel blinked, staring at him for a few seconds before asking. “What are you doing?" Lexius slowly lifted his head, pulling his lips away. The silver earring hanging from his ear swayed lightly. "A greeting." "Why all of a…

- And that moment of restraint gave Lexius his chance. With a smirk, he pulled Ariel closer and teleported again. In an instant, they both disappeared. Skylar had lost sight of Ariel yet again, right before his eyes. As he stared at the empty space where they had been, the rationality in his blue eyes chipped away even further. Her surroundings shifted in an instant once more. This made it the third time. The lakeside, with its swaying ash leaves, had transformed into a garden filled with…

- Lexius, who was supposed to be attending another lecture, had somehow ended up in the Magic Combat classroom. Was it just a coincidence that his previous class was running late, or had he intentionally waited until this one was over? Ariel found his sudden appearance rather curious. Skylar rubbed his forehead, looking like he was getting a headache. Ignoring whether Skylar was bothered or not, Lexius walked down the classroom steps and stood in front of the desk where the two of them sat. His eyes…

- The professor briefly explained. “So, that concludes our lesson for today. I look forward to working with you all over the next month.” With those words, the class ended quickly. Unlike other classes, where at least an hour was spent outlining the course or doing light prep work, this one wrapped up in just a few minutes. Naturally, the students welcomed the lecture that ended in just a few minutes. They were excited at the thought of spending the extra free time relaxing after the early…

- 「 Tuesday 9:00 AM — Magic Combat ( Academy Building 12, Classroom 1 ). 」 On her second day of classes, Ariel’s schedule included a practical training session. Carrying a noticeably thinner textbook compared to her other courses, she left the dormitory early that morning. The academy’s twelfth building was situated on the opposite side of the main lecture halls, where most of the classrooms were located. Despite only having two buildings—eleven and twelve—the enormous…

- “Did you have a good meal?” “Ung. Thank you so much for preparing it. It was an incredible feast.” “But did you not eat properly? Why does your voice sound so faint?” “No, I ate well… Have you had lunch?” “Speak a little louder.” “I’m sorry, but that would make me disrespectful. After all, addressing an imperial family member casually is considered very rude.” “Why would you think such things? I allowed it. I’ll just order them not to pay any attention to…
