Finally, he had the chance to meet Miss Liche, but the noble young master he served did not allow such an opportunity.

How excellent he is. Even now, the knight’s apprentice himself, Philip, continued his path without caring about his own sorrow.

Philip quickly followed behind Deon and said,

“Young Master, isn’t this a bit too much? Not allowing you to even exchange greetings with Miss Liche.”

“…….”

“…I tried to throw a tantrum out of regret for not being able to express my feelings. Haha, ha… I’m sorry.”

When Miss Liche came to the Cexelfon City, Philip tried to rush to her with tears, but he was restrained by Deon.

“If I can’t meet her, why should you go.”

Well, considering Deon’s current twisted state of mind, it was a reasonable thing to say.

Going through such stress, taking on the role of an exam instructor that didn’t suit his personality just because he was worried about his younger sister participating in the competition and not being able to meet her. Even when he was the student council president, he could meet Miss Liche to his heart’s content, so he could endure it.

‘But now, things are different.’

Deon reluctantly took on the role of student council president, which he hated so much before.

A year before, when the current vice president of the student council showed interest in Miss Liche and kept visiting her.

Miss Liche felt uncomfortable, and Deon, who seemed less detached as the vice president, didn’t like the vice president getting along with her.

“Derkedion, have you heard? That bastard… No, the vice president is running for president this time.”

One day, Robenhaf brought the information.

Robenhaf, who had been irritated by the vice president showing interest in Miss Liche, couldn’t decide whether to freeze the vice president every day. But then, one day, the vice president came to Miss Liche’s greenhouse.

The vice president was still bothering her even now, using the excuse of being busy with dessert research. Deon and Robenhaf, annoyed by the vice president who was annoying Miss Liche, decided to run for president and vice president, respectively. Two candidates, both ability users, ran for the positions.

Receiving overwhelming support from the students, Deon and Robenhaf each took the positions of student council president and vice president.

It was natural that the former vice president couldn’t even secure a small place in the student council roster.

The student council formed by Deon and Robenhaf, who were created as candidates, received the highest praise from the professors among all the student councils in history.

‘I remember. Derkedion’s squad.’

Philip reminisced about Deon’s student council.

At first, the executive members of the student council, who trembled like a baby deer in front of the frightening student council president, moved like trained knights within a month.

It was all thanks to Deon, who sat at the top of the student council.

‘Young Master is like a sword. Moreover, he has high standards not only for himself but also for others, not knowing that his ability is extraordinary. This incident is also like that.’

How could not a single participant pass?

To Philip’s question of why that happened,

“Everyone was pathetic.”

Came Deon’s answer. Everyone was more pathetic than the first guy.

Then why didn’t you just let the first one pass and add a few more afterwards?

In fact, since Deon came to Cexelfon, Philip had always been anxious. As Deon was a master at unpredictable actions,

‘He might argue with someone and .’
In truth, Philip has always been anxious since coming to Cexelfon with Deon. As he is inherently unpredictable, wondering whom he might clash with— What? Deon stopped in his tracks. Philip, who was following him, hastily halted his steps to avoid colliding with Deon.

It was close. I almost faced danger to my life before worrying about someone else’s life.

“Young Master? Why are you… Huh.”

Philip, looking surprised, widened his eyes at the man standing in front of Deon.

Morgan Dale.

A few days ago, he was the student whom my young master rejected in the assessment. It seemed like he had entered the competition venue to attend the re-evaluation in the afternoon.

Two tall and well-built men, also handsome in contrasting day-and-night appearances, made me feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Perhaps it was because of the fierce atmosphere emanating from one side.

‘Senior Dercadion.’

Kim An, hiding a welcoming expression, slightly smiled. Morgan greeted the instructor politely and extended his words.

“Instructor, I apologize for the last time.”

“Morgan Dale.”

Surprisingly, Morgan showed a face of astonishment at the mention of my name by Deon. Knowing Deon’s lack of interest in others, I thought he wouldn’t remember my name.

To Morgan, Deon sharply asked, “Do I seem funny to you?”

“Yes…?”

‘Hmm.’

Morgan didn’t understand Deon’s words, and Philip was internally shocked behind Deon.

Why is our young master picking a fight with a quiet student?

At this rate, our young master would undoubtedly be removed from the instructor position. Although it would be better for me if my young master left the instructor position and freely conversed with Miss Liche, it still felt terrible.

“You, Young Master? Weren’t you in a hurry for something important earlier?”

Philip quickly made an excuse to Deon, trying to keep him from engaging in unnecessary conflicts.

Being unable to talk to Liche for six months like this and living with an angry Deon who got kicked out of Cexelfon— which one was more horrifying was obvious without contemplation.

Let’s make our young master leave this position. It would cut off any potential problems.

“……. ”

But without knowing Philip’s anxious heart, Deon remained motionless.

Morgan, who was also quiet, seemed the same.

‘Senior Dercadion had a good intuition.’

In Ian’s memories, 12-year-old Deon was as vivid as Liche. The intuition of the young Deon in his memories was not to be underestimated.

‘Could he have recognized who I am?’

Although many people in the Pand Continent knew about the Gerwer Duke, no one recognized his true identity.

Even if Morgan associated his blonde hair and golden eyes with the missing ability user of the Gerwer family, seeing him use magic would dispel any doubts.

Because ability users cannot use magic.

Added to that were the efforts to live as someone else.

With the changed appearance to the point of being unrecognizable and the altered impression, there was no one who suspected Morgan as Ian.

‘I can be certain.’

Didn’t Liche fail to recognize me too?

But why was I so tense with Deon in front of me?

Morgan glanced at Deon’s lips, which were moving tensely.

“At that time….”
