The teacher had also said so. Tolerate it if you can, or ignore it. Don’t get involved… arguing with them would only hurt me, and… Gibnen was a little uncomfortable.
Listening to the lecture next to her sisterinlaw, especially the one who was known as a genius, was a very burdensome task.
It was just when Riley, who had exchanged glances with Hila, was about to get up from her seat.
Gibnen grabbed Riley’s hand and made her sit down again.
“Sit here, why are you moving?”
Because I don’t want to be caught in an annoying fuss…
Unable to answer, the girl who was acting friendly with Gibnen said,
“Sister, why are you protecting someone from outside?”
“An outsider?”
“Don’t you know by looking at her? She’s not from Prestige.”
“So?”
“So, does it make sense for a Prestige native to mix words with an outsider?”
“What’s wrong with that?”
“The level drops.”
Gibnen narrowed her eyes and stared at the girl, leaning back with her arms crossed and snickering.
“Are you in a position to talk about levels in front of me?”
“…What?”
“So, you match my level?”
At Gibnen’s words, the girl’s face turned bright red.
“Hey, sister! Why do you talk like that?”
“Right. According to your logic, your family must match the level of our family, right?”
“We are both Prestige nobles.”
“The same? You and I?”
“…”
“I’m not degrading like you.”
Gibnen smiled sweetly and very elegantly insulted the girl.
“Horizon is a place where everyone receives education fairly regardless of their status. Naturally, there should be no discrimination according to status. But as a Prestige noble, you should be exemplary. Where did you learn this nasty habit of talking about levels in front of people? It’s embarrassing even for me.”
“That’s not what I meant…”
“What didn’t you mean? You just offended this person. And you tarnished the honor of Prestige nobility. What are you doing? I’m ashamed.”
The girl couldn’t say anything in return. Her face was red as if she was about to explode at any moment. She looked very angry, but she pulled up her stiff lips as hard as she could and said,
“I was shortsighted, sister. I’ll be careful in the future.”
“Good, then go back to your seat. I’m going to listen to the lecture next to this person.”
The girl went back to her seat, and the classroom became as quiet as a mouse.
Was it possible for it to be so quiet when it had been painfully noisy just a few minutes ago? If someone saw this, they would think the professor had already started the lecture.
As Riley was staring blankly, blinking her eyes, Gibnen spoke to her.
“Is it okay to sit here and listen to the lecture?”
“Ah? Oh, yes, of course.”
“We’ll sit together every time we listen to this lecture.”
“…”
“Don’t you like it?”
“No, not that… You didn’t dislike it, did you?”
“Me?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Well…”
The day I first saw the commotion in the mansion, and they turned the door into rags and left.
“Ah, then.”
“…….”
“What I said then was not because I disliked you? It was advice with genuine concern for me. But now it’s meaningless. I dislike my brother, not you. It seems like a misunderstanding, so if you were uncomfortable then, I’ll apologize.”
“Ah, no. It’s fine.”
Hila looked back and forth between the two, as if wondering what the situation was. Regardless, Gibnen opened his textbook and sat upright, waiting for the professor, and so did Riley.
Just before the professor came in, Riley spoke late.
“Thank you for helping me.”
“What help?”
“Just now.”
“That wasn’t helping? I just spoke out because I was annoyed by the unpleasant sight.”
“Ah, I see.”
“Don’t cower around. Say you dislike it confidently. Why are you groveling to those kids like that? What’s so scary?”
It’s not that I’m afraid. I just didn’t want to get caught up in annoying things. Because I’m tired. Because I don’t like anything noisy.
“The lecture will begin.”
The professor arrived.
The conversation was cut off. Riley fixed her gaze on the textbook and thought.
She had wanted to attend the academy as quietly and inconspicuously as possible, but now she seemed to have properly caught the eye.
The sporadic glances were burdensome. Those curious eyes full of ‘What on earth is she?’
…… I guess it’s too late to live quietly.

“See you next lecture.”
After the lecture was over, Gibnen’s sister, Libne, left without a backward glance, only leaving those words behind. As soon as she left, Hila’s eyes sparkled.
“Do you know each other?”
“…… Yeah, somehow.”
“Wow, it’s really amazing! She seems even cooler than the rumors. Did you see earlier? Wow, that’s nobility. That’s the model of nobility that everyone admires. Noble blood really sets them apart, even in dignity. How can she put someone down so elegantly? Really cool!”
I agree that Libne is a very cool woman.
Actually, a while ago, I was really impressed. There’s such a cool person in the world!
Of course, the siblings are cool as a pair, since they are Gibnen’s siblings.
Riley, who was laughing heartily, paused.
Because the woman who had been humiliated by Libne was glaring at her with furious eyes. Riley glanced around and was startled to realize that the woman’s gaze was directed at her.
‘Why is she looking at me like she wants to kill me?’
As Riley tilted her head, the woman left, grinding her teeth.
Seeing this, Hila smirked.
“Leave it, she’s just taking it out on you because she can’t vent her anger on Libne Lianster after being humiliated. It’s your fault for being an outsider and looking weak. Oh my, it’s clear that she didn’t even remember half of what Libne Lianster said earlier!”
Riley felt unjustifiably wronged.
She felt disliked for no reason, and her mood was down.

Around four in the evening, the last lecture ended.
Having packed her stuff, Riley left the classroom immediately and sat in the park. She had planned to go straight home but didn’t understand the lecture material, so she thought about asking Arpeggio.
He was always grouchy but explained things well when asked.
Planning to hang out in the park for a while before going to the magical tower, she was enjoying a moment’s leisure on a park bench when:
“Excuse me.”
A man carrying two heavylooking boxes approached her.
“I’m sorry, but could you help me?”
“?”
“These are too heavy for me; could you carry one of the boxes with me? They are magical tools to be used in magical practice.”
He looked very strained at a glance.
Refusing outright to help was difficult. Moreover, it was right to help those who needed it. The people of the Eadalin mansion always laughed or ignored when they asked for help, and it was really heartbreaking every time.
“Please.”
“Thank you.”
Riley received a box from the man and then followed the man leading the way.
The box, which seemed heavy at first glance, was not as heavy as she thought. After following for a while, she saw a building lying in a secluded place.
Strangely, there was no one around. The building seemed to have been neglected for a long time. Said to be a warehouse for storing magical tools, the outer walls of the building were filled with ivy, as if they were not being managed.
Moreover, because there were many trees around and the sunlight didn’t penetrate well, it felt somewhat gloomy.
“Is this the place?”
“Yes, that’s right, thank you for helping.”
The man put down the box, and Riley also put down the box. Then the man grinned broadly.
“I’ve brought her.”
He spoke to someone. Was there another person here? Just then.
Several people poured out from inside the warehouse. They were all strangers, but among them, Riley recognized a familiar face.
‘It’s the person who was humiliated by Gibnen in the morning. He was glaring at me as if he wanted to kill me…’
He’s still glaring at her now.
What’s this? Staring blankly at her, the woman shouted to the people around.
“It’s her! She’s the one who insulted me!”
What is she saying now?
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.”
