Tanashia was undoubtedly a genius in the field of magic engineering that was never to be seen again. Her ideas always surprised Barnen and moved him.

When he saw the power of K01 firsthand, Barnen almost cried.

‘My unfulfilled wish… perhaps my disciple might fulfill it.’

Naturally, Tanashia was not Barnen’s first disciple.

Over time, he had accepted several disciples with the goal of cultivating his successor, but they all could not stand his peculiar character and ran away.

Until now, there had been no disciple as outstanding and passionate as Tanashia.

Barnen unknowingly looked out at the landscape outside the window, where the sun had fully risen, and inadvertently showed a hopeful smile.

‘I’m really looking forward to today’s academic festival.’

Just imagining the people who would be blown away by the power of K01, Barnen felt like his ten years of indigestion was going down.

That’s when it happened.

Knock, knock. With the sound of a knock, Matella came into the room.

“Sir, my father sent food saying you need to have breakfast on a day like this.”

In fact, Matella was the daughter of Barnen’s only friend.

He didn’t know many people. The fact that Tanashia, whom Matella had taught, had become his disciple, the more he thought about it, the more he could only see it as fate.

Barnen was not used to Matella’s care, so he snorted and replied gruffly.

“I don’t eat breakfast because I can’t digest it.”

“Don’t be like that and have at least one spoonful.”

“Hmph.”

“No, how old are you to keep acting like a child like this?”

“Stop nagging.”

In some ways, it was an ordinary morning, but it was also the day that marked a new beginning of the magic engineering weapon that Barnen had been waiting for a very long time.

The academic festival was not an event that ended in a day.

As it was a schedule that required lodging for several days, I selected Jerin and Askan as my companions who would need to take care of me during that time.

Two carriages stood in front of the house of the Brellof family as if by agreement.

Nokxia, who was walking ahead of me, turned back with a puzzled expression.

“Sister, are you going separately today?”

“Considering we have a lot of luggage, it might be too cramped to fit it all in one carriage.”

I had already experienced not looking so great when I made an appearance with Nokxia at the royal ball last time.

I thought it would be better to avoid being compared to Nokxia, so this time I was planning to ride in a separate carriage, taking that day as a lesson.

Nokxia, who knew nothing, smiled sadly.

“Listening to you, it seems reasonable. Then I’ll see you at the academic festival.”

“Yes, take care and see you later.”

After sending off Nokxia on the carriage first, Askan, Jerin, and I climbed onto the other carriage.

Suddenly looking out of the carriage window, the sky was very blue, and the weather was sunny. I muttered without realizing it.

“I wonder who will come to the academic festival.”

I couldn’t know exactly who would attend besides Nokxia, Rohel, and the submale lead who would fall for her in the future.

Hearing my voice, Jerin replied with a cautious expression.

“I’ve heard that Lady Krisha is also attending.”

“Lady Krisha?”

It was an unexpected name. The last time was when Reiana assaulted Askan at the Brelof mansion and they parted ways.

Just thinking about seeing Reiana after such a long time made my eyes involuntarily wrinkle.

Come to think of it, since Reiana had the power to handle wind, it was somewhat natural for her to participate in the academic festival.

I stole a glance at the emotionless Askan and whispered.

“If you irritate me this time, I won’t let it go.”

I will show the dignity of the original villainess.

Well, that’s it.
