“Cassius…”

Cassius was already very concerned about my safety during the last monster attack.

Again this time, he heard an abnormality related to my eyes, and he seemed to be so worried.

I, too, looked at him, who was biting his lips and sitting with his fingers crossed, worried about him.

“Ha.”

I tried to offer words of consolation to the sighs coming from the side, but the moment I looked back at him, Cassius’s right hand went up over my head.

“So, what I mean is since you’re so popular, it’s a big deal, you know when I see people here and there looking for you,”

“Huh?”

Cassius, who said so, tried to smile. With a faint gaze as if looking at something precious.

“I’m sorry. All I have to say is this disturbing thing will only increase my worries.”

For some reason, I felt my heart tickling. It’s been a long time since someone saw me with that look.

“Oh, no, it’s okay. You were worried.”

Then Cassius smiled his sizzling smile.

“Well, it’s good to be careful, but I didn’t want to make you anxious all the time.”

“No, it’s okay.”

That’s how I shook my hand.

“Well, you know I’m strong. You also said that I have a lot of mana.”

Cassius burst into laughter at the remark.

“Yes, it is.”

“And the mana…………. It seems like only the imperial family like Cassius can see, so if there’s nothing wrong with your eyes, most people won’t know. I’ll be careful when I use large-scale magic.”

“Well, I’d love that but-”

Cassius said, scratching his head awkwardly.

“Don’t try to suppress it. You’ll do better on your own than me, but if you have any problems, I’ll help.”

The face of Cassius, who said so, was slightly reddish.

“Your attitude has changed since last time.”

“Huh?”

He used to say that he wanted to save me as much as he could during the monster attack, but I can’t believe he came here today and told me not to suppress it.

“The other day, I, uh… I don’t think you wanted to come forward.….”

“Ah.”

Cassius replied, nodding his head as if he had noticed.

“But, um… After that, I realized something.”

“What did you realize?”

To my question, Cassius raised his head and looked up at the sky, and answered in a languid voice.

“I think you look the coolest when you use magic.”

How can you say such lines without blinking?

Even now, the sun-lit side face of Cassius’s golden eyes and black-tie hair were blending together to create a tremendous spectacle beyond the male protagonist’s visual on the cover of a pure comic strip.

“It’s cheating to say that line with that face….”

“Of course I just like all of your side.”

The last direct hit turned my head white.

Whether or not he knew what was in my mind, Cassius was staring at the blue sky, shining his golden eyes.

“Now there are only two weeks left until the Academy Foundation Day.”

Erica poked her head out and said,

“Yes, it is.”

It has been quite a while since I first started practising for the Academy Foundation Day’s performance.

I was able to do better simultaneous operation and blue flame magic, and Eugene also developed his magic at an alarming rate.

And an investigation into Leon was also made.

To find out the source of the poison saved by Leon, I’ve secured a table of ingredients with the help of Rayl and combed through the likely medicinal herbs in the spade territory.

“I don’t know who made this, but I’m sure he’s amazing. The poison containing the dragon’s tendon doesn’t mix with the opposite material. It’s amazing how the Shirakentami seeds were combined together.”

Listening to what Rayl said, I even sent the butler to the black market to find a clue by looking for a good pharmacist.

However, there has been little success and the source of the poison has been unknown.

“Aren’t you looking forward to it?”

I turned my head to Erica, who was waving pink hair. Then Erica answered in a calm voice, with a soft smile as usual.

“Yes. It sounds like a lot of fun. I’m a commoner, so I didn’t even know there was anything like this.”

Erica hugged the book and spoke with her eyes on the floor.

“Oh, but this is the first time I know about it too.”

“Oh, Yerine?”

Erica tilted her head and asked.

“Yes. I’ve never had a magic education before. No one told me anything like this before.”

“Oh, I see…”

The Postade people who had locked me in the back room could not have properly informed Yerine of the events related to the Academy.

In fact, it was very likely that they didn’t know about it also.

“You know, Yerine performing there that day, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I’m looking forward to it! Yerine always only uses some really cool magic.”

Erica said, twinkling her eyes.

In an instant, I felt like my nose was going to bleed as the fever rushed to my head, but I tried hard to hold it in because I couldn’t show what I did last time.

“Ay, no. There’s a lot of people better than me.”

“But the magic of Yerine is really amazing with something that pops and spreads out, and it’s cool.”

Oh, my God, it ‘pops and spreads out’.

How can her expression be so cute and lovely?

‘And it’s so cute when you open your arms wide when you say ‘pops’ and ‘spreads out’…!’

“You’re using flame magic again this time?”

“Huh?”

Can I tell her about it? Well, everyone knows that my main magic is flame magic.

In the end, I nodded and answered with a smile.

“Yes, I think I’ll use it. It’s the best magic I can use.”

“Wow, thank God.”

Erica then put her two fingertips together and spoke in a slightly smaller voice.

“I think Yerine looks the coolest when Yerine uses flame magic.”

At that moment, red flames rose from both hands.

When I heard Erica’s praise, I was so excited that I thought of the flame magic circle without even realizing it.

“Wow, that’s right, like this. I think it’s really cool to handle fire freely.”

Not knowing that I was about to burst out of my nose, Erica approached the flame with a bright face and admired it.

Still unable to make a rational judgment, I thought inwardly with a sneaky smile so Erica wouldn’t notice.

I’ll have to ask Eugene to increase the amount of fire.

At that moment I thought I could get through anything, whether it was his nagging or bad words, or whatever.

This is how strong the fan’s heart for the heroine is.

“I’ll do my best, Erica.”

“Yes! Oh, by the way, Yerine, I think you have a nosebleed.”

Erica asked anxiously, but I naturally wiped the blood with a handkerchief and smiled brightly because it always happened.

“It’s alright! It’s always like this!”

“Yerine, it’s good to work hard, but you need to stay healthy…….”

“No, Erica. You don’t have to worry. And this nosebleed doesn’t come from fatigue.”

“Well, is that so?”

“Yes. It’s just because it’s a dry climate.”

Even though I said it as if nothing was wrong, Erica still looked at me anxiously. She seemed to think I was overdoing it because of the academy Foundation Day.

“By the way, Yerine, can I ask you a question?”

“You can ask a hundred questions, not one.”

Erica burst into laughter at my words and naturally folded her arms in my arms.

“Not a big deal, I just have a question.”

“What is it?”

At the question, Erica looked up at me with pink eyes resembling a tourmaline, and asked in a clear voice, as if beads were rolling.

“Is Yerine a good dancer?”

“Dance?”

“Yes. you know, there’s a ball on the Academy Foundation Day.”

After hearing that, I remembered what Rachel and Astra said recently.

“There must be a legend that if you dance with someone you like at the Academy Foundation Day’s ball, your love will come true.”

“Oh, there’s always a legend like that in some schools, but I don’t know that the Academy has it too.”

“And on the night of the Academy Foundation Day, there’s also a saying that kisses under the mistletoe in the backyard of the northeast annexe, also would make it true.”

“Well, isn’t there too many ways love can come true?”

Come to think of it, there has always been ball in novels and movies set in Western magic schools.

And there’s always a conflict between the heroine and the male lead dancing together at the ball.

“Well, first of all, I don’t know how to dance, Erica.”

I talked awkwardly, scratching my cheek with my fingers.

It has been almost eight months since I possessed this body.

As a Korean student in the 21st century, I could not have learned to dance, and even after I possessed it, I had never had a chance to learn to dance.

To be honest, I think it would be better to hide in the corner as soon as I went to the ballroom, as it was obvious that I would step on the other person’s foot.

“Oh, really?”

At my answer Erica asked, shining her eyes.

“Yes. I don’t know a thing, so I’m afraid people will laugh at me if I go out dancing. I think I might just not dance at this ball.”

“Oh, so am I, actually! And I’m a little scared of crowded places….”

Come to think of it, even in the original, Erica didn’t know she would dance at all. And then Cassius used to take her and teach her how to dance. It would never be possible for the two of them now.

“Well, Erica, why don’t you and I stay together at the ball? I feel a little awkward being alone.”

But Erica was holding my hands tightly and nodding her head vigorously even before my words were over.

“Okay!”

The two eyes, which seemed to have melted cherry blossoms, glistened as if they had become Venus at dawn.

“I, I was thinking it’s kind of weird to be alone. So I love it!”

When I saw Erica groping her words with a slight blush on her face, I thought inwardly with a business smile.

‘Damn, why don’t we have a camera now? If it was Korea, I would have taken about a hundred shots in a row by row.’

However, I couldn’t reveal my dark inner self, so I smiled kindly and said warm words to Erica.

“Fortunately. I’m happy to be with you, too.”

Erica laughed at my words, and we walked side by side in the hallway in the form of a fresh freshman with fluttering petals around.

“But there’s something unexpected. I can’t believe Yerine has something you can’t do.”

“Huh?”

“I thought, of course, you’d be a good dancer because you’re always good at everything.”

“Ay, no, I’m not good with many things.”

With a wave of hands, I said no, but Erica kept shaking her head.

“No. Yerine is really good at a lot of things.”

“Ah…”

“So I think it’s okay if Yerine is a little bad at dancing.”

Erica smiled softly, flying her last line, and I went back to the classroom with her, thanking God for giving me the light so that I could purify my eyeball today.

Unexpectedly, I didn’t know what was going to happen to this ball.
