After the mock fight,

I was finally relaxing in the penthouse.

[The master has been working too hard until now. It's good to take a break once in a while, so take it easy today.]

The Heavenly Demon said this, so I decided to rest for the entire day.

'What should I do?'

Maybe because I've been pushing myself too hard lately, but nothing really interested me.

I considered playing a game, but the game from my past life wasn't as fun as I remembered, so I let it go.

'Maybe I'll watch some videos.'

This world had a site like the video-sharing website that was popular in my past life.

Neotube.

The difference from my past life was that there were many videos uploaded by heroes themselves.

While I was scrolling, I came across some recent news.

[Who are the Mines attacking the school?]

[The world's top academy, the Korea Hero Academy. Mines attacked! Are the students safe?]

Honestly, it felt like a natural catastrophe.

Who could think that one of the Four Devils would dare to strike at the school?

But they're not required to understand this. That's why they're creating such a fuss.

'They dare to be so bold.'

I yawned as I skimmed the content.

It was a video that roughly blamed Seo Yebin for lowering the reputation of the Korea Hero Academy.

-Lol. The news is so amusing.

-Exactly. It seems like one of the Four Devils showed up and Seo Yebin had to be there. If Seo Yebin wasn't there, at least one city would have been destroyed.

-Can't this be removed if it's reported? The people living in Korea are the ones attacking the Korean heroes.

The comments were full of compliments for Seo Yebin.

While watching such videos, I unexpectedly found a video about me.

[Who is currently the top student at the Korea Hero Academy?]

That was the title of the Neotube video.

The strange part was that they didn't blur my face in the video.

'...I'm still a civilian.'This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

I was stunned, but decided to watch it regardless.

-Currently, many students in the Korea Hero Academy are called the golden generation. From Kim Seohyun, the student of Korea's top wizard, to Hong Yuhwa, the granddaughter of the Red Tower Master, and Park Woonhyuk, who comes from the famous Park family, and the Saint.

-But, all of them were outshone by a boy who could be called a record-breaker. Let's watch the video.

The video was full of incredible compliments that made me blush.

From the record-breaking speed at which I completed the Tower of Trials, to capturing a Shadow Serpent, which I didn't even know where it came from.

But they claimed I captured the Shadow Serpent all by myself.

-Is that even possible? A student who just enrolled?

-There's already buzz among the staff about him. We thought it would be a two-top system with Kim Seohyun and Ersil, but he's the clear front-runner.

-Really?

-Yes, he's the kid who's attracting a lot of interest from the association right now.

-I don't know about the rest, but he does have a record-setting face.

-Really, really. My eyes were purified when I saw his face.

The rest of the content was basic.

They speculated about the future of Korean heroes, suggesting he might become a tremendous and impressive hero, and the video ended with all sorts of chatter.

I calmly reported the video and clicked the back button.

Even when I declared I'd rest, I couldn't do so at ease.

It may look like I'm hooked on work, but I usually take breaks while working.

'It's fun.'

I guess it's like playing a game.

Exercise is hard. But, there's the excitement of gradually increasing my stats.

I get a fitting reward for my effort.

That's why I could push myself without stopping.

But it's true that I need rest.

While we chatted, our Tonkatsu arrived.

Kim Seohyun popped a piece of Tonkatsu soaked in red sauce into his mouth.

I quietly observed Kim Seohyun.

I pondered about Kim Seohyun.

It wouldn't be overstating to say he inherited all the martial arts of Murim, and he was a boy who was instructed in magic by the best sorcerers.

But that wasn't all.

He has a gift for all skills.

And even a dragon's heart that emits nearly limitless mana.

It's not natural talent.

He was crafted that way.

I sliced a piece of Tonkatsu and popped it into my mouth.

The training ground was empty.

Seo Gayeon stared blankly at the night sky.

The night sky sparkled with stars.

In an era when science was advanced, star-gazing was near impossible, but now, thanks to magic engineering, environmental pollution was practically gone, making star-gazing possible again.

The stars shimmered.

Much like the magic she had discovered.

'How did he know?'

Seo Gayeon thought of Lee Seoha.

At first, he was intriguing.

He seemed like a man from another world.

First, she was surprised that such a handsome person existed, then she was shocked twice as much when she discovered he was the boy who had shattered all records in the Tower of Trials.

And he showed an interest in her.

After that, it felt like a dream.

The time spent with him, the interest he showed in her, was fun for Seo Gayeon.

'It's not just about me.'

This fondness likely came from the starlight magic she owned.

Still, Seo Gayeon thought she liked it even more.

'I'm not especially attractive.'

She's not glamorous like Hong Yuhwa. She doesn't have a well-crafted figure like her.

She's not like the stunning Kim Ara who can captivate even other women. Hong Yuhwa is busty, but Kim Ara is in a league of her own.

She's not girly like Ersil, she can't tease or toy with a man's heart.

A modestly full chest.

Average height.

She thought her face was pretty... but since arriving here, that confidence was severely dented.

With a sigh, Seo Gayeon continued her training.

She feared that if she couldn't satisfy Lee Seoha with her power, his interest might fade.

'He probably wouldn't do that.'

Lee Seoha was kind.

But Seo Gayeon knew. People have a reason when they show kindness.

If she fails to master her starlight magic, Lee Seoha would lose interest.

But such a relationship doesn't usually end well.

Seo Gayeon steadied her breath and summoned her starlight magic once again.

Whoosh!

Dazzling white starlight exploded from within her.

Without her knowing, her hair and eye color also synced with the starlight magic, making her hair glimmer silver and her eyes turn violet.

If Lee Seoha had seen it, it would have been an applaud-worthy scene, as if a character in a novel had just awakened.

enjoy! :)

sorry about the quality of the last chapter, i've edited the last two paragraphs to make more sense, to summarize:

- saint is a guy and he is seo yebin's relative

- seo yebin was once known as the puppetmaster and is now known as the emperor

- seo yebin is the emperor AND the principal of the school
