It had been another freshman, and any other would have been startled, but for Neris, who had already experienced life and death, it was just annoying. She didn’t feel any life in it anyway.
She looked up at Cledwin with her impassive purple eyes. Interest flickered in Cledwin’s eyes a moment later.
“The bastard of the Elandria family?”
As a grand duke, Maindland had a reason to know about the bastard of the Elandria family. Neris laughed coldly.
“Me, siblings with Nellusion?”
“You’re going to deny it?”
It had been the case with Len too, but she wanted to refuse such a misunderstanding.
She never wanted to be Nellusion’s sister again.
“Absolutely not.”
Apparently, he didn’t know the news that the ostracized daughter of the royal family had given birth to Jaan’s child. After all, even the Elandria family had only found out about her existence recently.
Suddenly, it occurred to her that this bickering was meaningless. Neris stared at Cledwin and commanded him.
“Put this away, Cledwin Maindland.”
From the beginning, the students were prohibited from attacking each other. As hostile family students meet in one class, without such a rule, many parents would refuse to send their children to the academy.
But to threaten with a knife just to ask for a name. Neris wasn’t surprised, but other freshmen might have been left with emotional scars.
The next moment, the black blade went into the sheath at Cledwin’s waist. Neris slowly got up.
Standing tall in front of a boy a few years older than her, Neris straightened her hem. Watching her deft hand movement, Cledwin smiled.
It was a smile that slightly lifted the corner of his mouth, teasing those who saw it.
“You knew who I was all along. Now tell me your name. It’s only fair.”
“No. Since I didn’t ask your name because I’m superior, you should find out my name on your own.”
At Neris’s provocative answer, Cledwin’s eyes narrowed slightly. He thought for a moment, then gestured to her.
“Go.”
“Why, don’t you know?”
“I’ll call you by your name next time.”
In his voice, there was a simultaneous existence of confidence and decisiveness, originating from something unknown. Neris left her seat without any haste.
It was a useless provocation. She knew that too.
Being disliked by the powerful right now wouldn’t be wise, but somehow, looking into his eyes, she was shaken like a child.
Under the bright blue summer sky, his cold face filled her vision and lingered in Neris’s mind for a long time.
(This is a time separator.)
On one side of the vast campus of Cartak Circle, near the stone wall dividing Aine Circle and Cartak Circle, stood the majestic Cejergwan, hinting at the academy’s original scale.
Built in the austere style of Princess Katerina’s era, this building had been renovated and expanded several times over the years but still held great historical value.
Without a glance at the relics or tapestries adorning the lobby or the speeches left by the highranking graduates, Neris went up to the second floor, or C level as called in the academy way.
Small and slender among the tall male students filling the corridor, Neris stood out.
“Do we have a basic magic class for firstyear students here? I didn’t hear anything like that.”
“Hey, little girl, this is Cartak Circle. Do you need me to take you where you lost?”
The perplexed voices of the upperclassmen poured out, but Neris ignored them.
“Which family’s child is she?”
The boys whispered to each other, winking.
Even before their formal social debut, good families usually mingled from an early age. But no one there had ever seen that blonde child.
It was a strange thing. Platinum blonde with precious Jaan, a straight posture as she walked without a finger out of place, and intelligent eyes full of pride.
Even if her clothes were shabby, she was undoubtedly the descendant of a great noble family, so someone among them must be related to her, right?
“Huh.”
Then someone recognized her and pretended to know her.
The boys around looked at his peculiar pink hair and flinched. Ren Fayel of Theology was originally very popular as the younger brother of the former pope, but now he was out of favor.
Theology? Ren’s relative? Quick calculations and guesses flashed through the minds of the upperclassmen.
However, with no concern for such movements, Ren approached Neris and spoke.
“You, why are you here?”
Neris turned around at the sound of Ren’s voice. He raised his eyebrows at her quietly settled eyes.
“Lost again?”
Neris, who had not expected to run into him again, made an annoyed face.
“I never got lost.”
“You said you did before.”
“I never said I got lost. I said I went in by chance.”
“It’s the same thing.”
“It’s totally different. If I had lost my way, I would have wandered without reaching my destination, but that was a shortcut to my destination.”
Ren looked incredulous.
“Is this a shortcut too?”
“I take classes here. It’s Berlen language 3.”
“Already?”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
