The stone, climbing up to the heads of the monsters on a short trajectory and carried by the wind that followed, turned into water. The water poured down like a massive waterfall, dousing the monsters.
“Oh. Composite magic.”
“Are you capable of that?”
“It’s not a big deal.”
In the subsequent magic, a powerful lightning struck the monsters.
The monsters, already wet from the water, couldn’t even scream in the face of the lightning that burned their bodies. One by one, they fell to the ground.
The mercenaries witnessing the situation were speechless, and the magic and students nodded as if it were natural. It was indeed a skill that didn’t get accustomed to even after seeing it several times.
“The winner is Triche…”
As Liche, who had to return to their side, suddenly began to run somewhere.
“Triche! Where are you going?”
“Oh, there!”
One student, seemingly understanding why Liche was running, pointed with a finger.
Far away, someone was being chased by the monsters running on the ground.
[Star fragment! Contractor, did you feel it too?]Pythonss shouted as it rose above Liche’s running head.
At the moment when the avian monsters were defeated, the faintly felt power of the star.
“Yeah. Even if it’s far away, feeling it means it’s a strong one, right?”
[Of course. This is a star that had a superior power.]Pythonss exhaled in excitement.
In the academy where Liche was, there was only the fragment of a star found in the Ludwick family’s library a long time ago. It was a fragment of a star that had an intermediate-level power even when alive.
To find a new star fragment in a place like this.
[A monster? Is the monster holding it?]Pythonss carefully observed the three scorpion-type monsters approaching.
A human was desperately running away from the monster attacks in front of them, but it didn’t catch Pythonss’s eye.
[Contractor! The one on the far right is the monster!]Pointing to the monster where Pythonss felt the power of the star, Pythonss shouted.
Since Liche already knew, it might not have much meaning for me to say this.
However, naturally expecting Liche to run there, she walked to the front of the central monster and cast a magic spell. A transparent, large shield appeared, blocking the three monsters at once. The monsters blocked by the shield howled.
“You said the right side. Why… Oh.”
Only then did Pythonss, who looked back, realize the reason.
“Cough, cough, th-thank you.”
A human, who expressed gratitude towards Liche while clutching their buttocks on the ground. The girl, around Liche’s age, had short brown curly hair and freckles on her face. Due to being chased by monsters until just now, she was breathing heavily with big gasps.
“You, no way. Did you come running to save a human instead of a star fragment…?”
“…….”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
If that’s the case. You went crazy over a star fragment and ran.
Pythonss looked at the three monsters with a cold, narrow gaze.
“Then, let’s quickly get rid of them and look for the star fragment.”
‘Okay.’
Liche glanced at the person behind her and spoke.
“Can you escape?”
“Huh?”
“I’m going to release the shield. Run away because you can get entangled.”
“Yes, yes! Thank you! Student of Ludwick Royal Academy!”
It seemed she recognized his origin from Liche’s uniform.
‘Is she a student from another school? I didn’t notice because she’s wearing work clothes.’
Confirming that the girl was running away, Liche released the shield and directed Pythonss’s power towards the monster rushing towards her.
Monsters collapsing in explosions. One. Two. And,
“What the! That’s ours!”
A golden flash from the sky split a monster with a sword.
A man revealed himself between the split monsters.
A tall male student in an unfamiliar school uniform. Wrapped in a light white aura that faintly shone like a backlight.
Liche’s vision was filled with the dazzling golden hair of the man. The gaze of the golden eyes like jewels moved from the fallen monster to Liche.
“…….”.
Silence enveloped the space between the two.
The silver eyes of Liche and the golden eyes of the man met, like the moon and the sun rising simultaneously in the dark night sky. Thus, their gazes intertwined in the silence.
After a while, it was Liche who averted her eyes first. Liche bit her lower lip.
‘It’s not Ian.’
For a moment, she almost mistook him. The man looked similar to Ian, to the extent that one might think this is how Ian would look as he grew up.
No visible energy was accumulated in his chest. He wasn’t an Ability User.
‘Last year’s winner, perhaps?’
Liche could easily guess who the male student standing in front of her was.
Wudick Academy uniform, blonde hair and golden eyes, outstanding swordsmanship capable of defeating monsters in a single stroke.
[That winner can’t be little Gerwer. Ian Dwain can’t use magic even if he doesn’t know the sword, right? Because he’s an Ability User.]Liche thought just like Pythonss said.
However, the warm gaze they exchanged was enough to remind her of Ian, and she couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
The male student from Wudick Academy, Morgan, was still looking at Liche.
Liche picked up a fallen ring on the ground and asked the man.
“Is this yours?”
“Ugh, you fool! What if she asks if this is a star fragment!”
Pythonss panicked and shouted in his mind.
The person who picked it up was the owner, but what if she asks someone else? It was undoubtedly clear that this ungreedy contractor would just give it away.
[Absolutely not!]Morgan’s gaze, which swelled his hair into an angry squirrel over Liche’s head, was directed towards the offended pythonss.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
