The current issue of the wizard population depletion has become a very serious social problem.
The history of oppressing and suppressing wizards was humanity’s greatest tragedy and mistake. Now, wizards make up about 2% of the total population. Of that 2%, the proportion of teenagers and those in their 20s is barely 30%.
While the probability of a wizard being born is higher if two wizards marry, even that is not certain. If a wizard marries a nonwizard, a wizard may still be born, but the probability is as rare as ordinary people conceiving twins.
In that sense, the ‘young’ wizards who attend the top prestigious ‘Raizon Academy’ within the empire, after beating such rare odds, were immensely proud of themselves as special beings.
And their interest had been consistent for several days.
“Was it really Matopju?”
“It was! Just like the face I saw in the newspaper! No, he looked even more handsome in person.”
“People who saw him in person said his aura was extraordinary, did you really feel that?”
“Yes, blatantly so!”
“But he had a woman with him?”
“Yes, he did! And she looked quite young.”
“The one from the last scandal?”
“The hair length and color were similar, and her height and build… probably, if she looks like what I saw in the pictures.”
“He really is consistent.”
The existence of young Matopju has always been the biggest interest among academy students.
Any wizard would want to live a life like him. A world had come where numerous young wizards naturally chose Gibnen Lianster as a role model.
A genius wizard, the scion of the Lianster family, Grand Mage Yung’s apprentice, and the youngest Matopju of the Horizon.
His dazzling titles that no one could deny were a life that everyone longed for.
No matter what scandal he stirred up, the people of the Horizon didn’t care.
Rather, they admired his free and unconfined way of life like the wind. Except for one person.
‘That madman… He’s advertising that he’s getting married soon.’
Every time he heard the students’ boisterous chatter, Rivne’s face soured terribly.
Wondering why it was so noisy, it turned out that Gibnen had brought Riley to tour the academy previously. Witness accounts poured in, and it became a hot topic among those who were living in the dormitories. It will likely get worse once the semester starts.
‘Why keep the wedding secret if you’re going to do this?’
Rivne couldn’t understand.
The ongoing engagement was being conducted in the strictest secrecy. Even the fact that Riley was living in his mansion was unknown to anyone other than his closest associates and family.
He couldn’t believe that someone like that would bring his future wife, cling affectionately to her, and show her around the academy as if it were his own living room.
Especially incomprehensible was his behavior, wanting to enroll Riley here. This was a sensitive issue that could lead to accusations of favoritism or parachute admission, so why was he being so careless?
‘Well, if he were cautious, he wouldn’t have created all those scandals in the first place.’
Rivne sighed and entered the conference room.
The professors of Horizon were gathered in the conference room.
“You all must have received the official document. The wizard entrance exam is scheduled on the recommendation of Matopju of Horizon, so those appointed as examiners, please be fully prepared. We also plan to conduct a magical power presence test, so have the barriers ready in advance. The examination will be conducted in secret, so please ensure that there are absolutely no leaks to the outside.”
“A Matopju recommendation scholarship student… Considering that he himself attended Horizon through a recommendation scholarship, who could this talented individual be that he found?”
“It won’t be an ordinary candidate, judging by the request for a barrier.”
“Well, Grand Magelevel talents always come with explosions, don’t they? We need to be fully prepared so as not to blow up the academy building.”
The professors’ anticipation was great. Seeing this, Rivne scoffed.
‘She was a complete novice in magic. She could have been considered a nonwizard, to begin with…’
Magic was not felt at all.
Of course, not only Gibnen but also his father looked happy as if they had brought in a very precious daughterinlaw, but Libne did not trust Riley. He thought both his father and the foolish Gibnen were mistaken and being deceived by Riley.
‘What nonsense that this blind thing is a talent at the level of a grand magician.’
He was even preparing a barrier, but it was clear that it would all be in vain.
It would be fortunate if he didn’t bring shame, but he feels like he will be humiliated.
Libne blushed with shame as he imagined what would be drawn in the future, saying what a disgrace this was because of his crazy older brother.
(This is a time separator.)
“Finally, it’s today.”
With Rachel’s words as she was fixing her hair, Riley nodded her head while focusing on the book.
“Honestly, it seems hopeless.”
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
