Unfortunately, my efforts to silence him were in vain.

Since all the kids passing by the cafeteria seemed to have heard his voice!

I sighed deeply and glared at Leonhardt.

‘It seems like I can’t make friends because of Leonhardt’s overprotectiveness!’

However, I didn’t plan to spend my time in this academy just studying. I was not an ordinary child, and I knew that the Mirmode family would collapse soon due to the temple mentioned in .

I knew that the Saintess and the Pope had headed towards the ‘Path of Light.’ Knowing this, to protect the Mirmode family, I needed to bring in talented individuals.

‘I have to take away all the children who will become the power of the temple in the future.’

A genius in swordsmanship and strategy.

Later on, he would also possess divine power, becoming the one sought after by the temple and eventually becoming the purple-eyed boy who protected the crown prince, Martin!

If I could acquire that boy, it would positively impact my current school life. After all, he was said to be the top student in this academy.

“…What should I do?”

But then, someone took the empty seat near us.

His hair was messy, and a boy with flies buzzing around him.

Leonhardt, who was watching the bespectacled boy dumbfoundedly, mumbled, “What’s that?”

“I don’t know.”

He seemed not to care about us at all. I smiled like a fool, watching the boy who enthusiastically picked up and ate the hamburger.

“Hehe. Why is there nothing here?”

‘He really seems like a fool…’

“The hamburger patty is delicious. The lettuce is delicious. The best!”

Leonhardt beside me asked, “Scared, Sian? Should I take care of it?”

Ashid also spoke determinedly, “I’ll send him somewhere else if you need.”

I observed him, turning my head from side to side.

In a situation where no one came near us, I didn’t want to bother the boy sitting next to us.

I turned my gaze to the boy sitting alone, holding a hamburger and a small notebook.

“Hehe, the hamburger is delicious.”

‘…Is he just a fool?’

How did such a fool enter this academy?

I thought there must be at least one outstanding point about him, but when I looked at the boy’s notebook, I was surprised.

‘There seems to be incredibly complex math written there?’

“The diameter of the hamburger. Cylindrical hamburger. Delicious. Pi. I like it.”

The words reaching my ears made me doubt my ears. Talking about hamburgers while reciting pi and talking about cylinders, I had never seen someone like that before.

‘I thought math wasn’t that advanced in this world…’

I squinted my eyes and observed his actions.

Twisted black hair and eyes like fresh green buds. But his eyes were as clear as those of a madman.

‘His name…’

I was surprised to see the name tag hanging loosely on his chest.

‘How can a person’s name be Burger?’

…What’s even more surprising is that I had thought this way before.

Although he now looked like a boy who only knew hamburgers, he would later become a young man who excelled in accounting and taxation.

However, due to the trauma of school violence in his childhood, he hardly engaged in external work and fell into a dark guild, or so it was said…

‘He might be able to help me in the future, probably.’

I needed Martin, the genius in swordsmanship. Of course, it would be even better if I could recruit this small hamburger enthusiast.

To achieve that, it was necessary to prevent the school violence of Burger.

Of course, from the perspective of justice as well.

Burger was tremendously outstanding despite his small stature!
For a week, I carried out a 30,000-mile operation to find Burger and failed miserably. Seeing his face in the cafeteria some time ago felt like a miracle.

‘I can’t find him, cunning one.’

When I went to Burger’s classroom, he had already hidden himself.

So, reluctantly postponing the search for Burger and planning to become friends with Martin first, Leonhardt, Acid, and I approached persistently.

But…!

“Sigh, failed again today…”

Martin seemed disinterested in me, or rather, it seemed like he was avoiding me, not even making eye contact.

If I approached and tried to talk…!

“I’m busy right now.”

…He passed by, putting up such a wall.

‘Hmm, what should I do? I can’t easily meet either of them!’

But I am Sian Mirmode, a woman who never gives up!

While tirelessly wandering around the hallway pillars trying to find Martin and Burger again, a black shadow appeared at my feet.

I raised my head to look at the boy in front of me.

Thinking that he might be Martin, I brightened my eyes and spoke.

“Oh? Acid? I thought you were Martin.”

“Ah… I thought Miss Sian liked you a lot lately…”

Acid, seeming perplexed, blinked his eyes. He seemed to want to say something, but there was something else that caught my eye.

‘Why does Acid seem to have grown so tall? Is it my imagination…?’

He used to have shoulders hunched, and we even called him a ‘baby’ due to it, but he seemed to have changed a lot. Moreover, he now seemed to notice my emotions as well.
