Magic School Valhalla is a large building comparable in size to the imperial palace. Even if you stepped outside Squire Duchy, you could quickly find the magic school with white outer walls and blue roof spires.

I thought the Saint Trio Hotel was attractive when I saw it in person, but Valhalla was on a different level. Its scenery was also exquisite. A huge river crossing the capital and a bridge with historical evidence that could never have been created with the technology of this time. A flock of white pigeons culminated in the white and blue scene.

The scenery that would make you happy even if you look at it graphically was in front of my eyes, so I could feel that I had entered an unknown world, making my heart pound. It was more fascinating than the carriage we rode on, which was made by our team. Even more than the younger sister who is with me now.

I didn’t make all this by myself, but I feel like I’m the creator. In fact, I was just a pitiful possessor who had to survive in a creative world with all kinds of unfavorable conditions.

I was going to arrive at school soon, but seeing useless thoughts made me feel more relaxed. What bothered me the most was the ‘family’ itself anyway, so the tension was slightly relieved after I got away from the Squire family. I wasn’t the only one feeling a new feeling.

T/L note: Constellation ‘Sungjeockhung’ will be changed into Constellation ‘Performance Obsession’

Certainly, the Constellations had sent many messages to support the channel today. I suddenly felt the need to check my current status.

Status window.

[Theresa Squire]

Description: Princess Squire

Age: 22

Magic Rate: B

Intelligence: B-

Mana: A (12,034/12,034)

Although it was a short time, my intelligence improved thanks to reading dozens of magic books. Still, it’s not enough. I need to read more diligently.

Arriving in Valhalla before I knew it, I thought as I exited the carriage. It’s a bit of a shame that I won’t have to ride this carriage anymore. 

I looked back at Libby. “Why don’t you use this carriage to go to school? This carriage is too good to be left unused.”

Libby looked like a startled puppy at my suggestion, then her cheeks turned rosy. “I will ride it carefully. Thank you, Sister.”

It’s yours in the first place. I couldn’t say that, so I nodded roughly.

We mingled with the crowd of people dressed in the same clothes as we entered the lobby. It was amazing to hear the students’ chattering voices. Perhaps because of the freshman entrance ceremony, the students rushed toward the auditorium. I also took Libby and walked in the direction of the auditorium.

“The freshman entrance ceremony is held in the auditorium. I will take you there.”

Libby let go of her tense expression a little and smiled softly. “I’m really glad that Sister and I go to the same school. Actually, I was a little scared.”

“Scared?”

“I still can’t believe that I’m a princess. Moreover, I entered Valhalla, where nobles attend. I don’t even know if I have mana. I look like a fool, right?”

I was at a loss for words for a moment. In the game, it was a natural development for Libby to find her family and immediately enter Valhalla after 15 days. However, when it came to the real situation, I felt that it was too inconsiderate. My heart felt heavy for no reason.

“No, you’re not stupid at all. It’s natural you feel so.”

“…As expected, Sister would understand.”

I murmured ‘sorry’ in a small voice that Libby couldn’t hear.

Libby stood closer to me, then said curiously, “By the way, Sister… Maybe it’s just me, but I think everyone keeps staring at me.”

I glanced around at her words. I could see the student who had been glancing at us, contemplating and avoiding my eyes. Following the ticking time, They made me feel like a demon who shot curses if someone made eye contact with me. 

Why would they dare to glance at us when they are frightened of Theresa? The appearance of a pretty freshman must draw attention.

I explained in a trifling way. “That’s the way it is. It’s natural for them to look at the pretty freshman.”

[Why are you helping the female protagonist instead of seeing the male protagonist ㅠㅠ.]

I didn’t notice Libby’s blushing face as I was embarrassed to look through the system window, which talked strangely.

At that time, loud cheers resembling howls came from the entrance to the lobby.

“Aargh! Damian! Look here!”

“Senior Damian! I love you!”

“You’re handsome today too!”

I saw a man running in with a halo of sunlight behind his back. His height, which is taller than others, and his ultramarine blue hair that swayed gently in line with his running steps, drew attention. He was one of the targets, Damian West.

I squinted my eyes and stared at Damina. It was because I wanted to confirm something with him.

“Hmm. I can’t see anything.” The only thing I gained was objective information that, even from a distance, Damian is a very handsome man.

“Let’s go to the auditorium, Libby.”

Drawing by the commotion, Libby glanced at Damina, then nodded at my call and moved along.

I headed to the auditorium with Libby, carefully not to look behind me. Because an event is going to happen soon.

Damian would run into the auditorium in the crowded lobby while avoiding the students trying to grab him, then accidentally bumps into the female protagonist. It was an obvious cliché scene from <God’s Play>.

Tak!

“Ah, sorry. Are you okay?”

I looked up with my eyes wide open. Then I encountered golden eyes like candles lit in the dark.

“Are you hurt, Theresa?”

[The Constellation ‘Face Inspector’ nods with great satisfaction.]

Thankfully, what brought me to my senses was the tactless system window.

Why is he bumping into me?

Originally, the person who bumped into Damian was supposed to be Libby. Damina, who was busy on his way, said sorry briefly and left Libby confused with a thought, ‘What’s wrong with that Senior?’ Later Damian came to Libby and said, “Ah! I finally found you,’ and laughed softly.

How could this be? I deliberately accompanied Libby to be part of this event.

Even if Libby, a complete stranger to him, could just pass by him, why couldn’t Damian just pass by me?  Aside from being my classmate, Damian is a student sponsored by the ‘Squire Scholarship Foundation.’

I tried what I was trying to confirm through Damian earlier.

Damian’s personal information.

[Damian West]

Age: 22

Height: 187 cm

Birthday: January 31st

Likes: Toys, cooking, sports

Dislike: Nobility

Likeability: 1

The system window provided basic character information. Based on this, you needed to build up a good impression through gifts or events that were suitable for the target.

My gaze skimmed down the information I already knew and stopped at the likeability. The fact that the heart gauge is there means that Theresa can also capture the male protagonist. Right. I felt my head throbbing with the fact that I didn’t welcome it at all.

Each time the player filled an empty heart one by one, increasing the male protagonist’s likeability, a corresponding change occurred. Here’s a very simple description of the male protagonist’s recognition level according to their likeability.

[Likeability: 0] → Acquaintance

[Likeability: 1] → Friend

[Likeability: 2] → Best Friend

[Likeability: 3] → Crush

[Likeability: 4] → Lover

[Likeability: 5] → True Ending

Then, what’s the black heart that’s currently in Damian’s likeability? That was the color indicating a negative impression. At the same time, it meant the degree of entering the bad ending route. The meaning was completely different from the red heart. Because the black heart was a warning to the players.

To summarize.

[Likeability: 1] → Caution

[Likeability: 2] → Border

[Likeability: 3] → Threat

[Likeability: 4] → Murderous Intention

[Likeability: 5] → Bad Ending

It was like that. Therefore, Damian was in the ‘caution’ stage.

A black heart from the beginning? Wait, of course, it’s natural since the person is Theresa, but it’s still too much.

[Constellations have confirmed the heart gauge description proved by Channel Manager-Ozworld.]

[Constellations pay attention to how BJ will attack the male protagonist.]
