An awkward silence filled the air for a moment.

A shadow slowly fell over Ange’s face.

Then her eyes turned cold, and she said,

“Honey?”

Her voice was chilling.

Damn.

It’s dangerous.

At the same time, I had a premonition.

If I stayed here, I might get kidnapped and die from a heart attack.

[The goddess of Fate is eating popcorn.]

No. This guy won’t even try to stop it!

As expected of the constellation of that saint.

Well, it’s understandable from the constellation’s perspective.

Lately, I haven’t been paying attention to her and have been getting cozy with other women.

Especially with Lise.

Moreover, she can’t descend because of the other constellations.

But this isn’t the time for that.

Ange’s face grew darker by the minute.

A sense of primal fear overwhelmed me.

I turned my head towards Lisanna.

Did she realize that she had made a mistake?

Unlike her usual playful demeanor, she looked terrified, sweating profusely.

Rain, standing next to her, had a PTSD-like expression, which was an added bonus.

To calm her down quickly, I smiled kindly at Ange and held her hand.

-Grasp!

Her face began to return to normal.

Moreover, since she had never had physical contact with a man, her face turned red as soon as I held her hand.

Like a tomato.

“It was just a joke from a junior. Please calm down, Saint. And this is the cafeteria.”

“Ah…”

At my words, Ange flinched and let out a sigh.

Then she nodded slightly, looking a bit flustered.

“Ah, ah! Yes, I need to get a grip. I’ve been working for so long that I’ve become overly sensitive.”

“Yes, I’ve heard about it.”

I responded with a sympathetic expression to calm Ange down.

“And let’s eat quickly. We don’t have much time.”

“Ah! Yes, but wait a moment.”

Ange turned her gaze towards Lisanna.

Lisanna swallowed dryly, her eyes trembling.

Ange looked at her face and smiled menacingly.

“If you pull such a prank in front of me again, I’ll kill you♥”

She threatened her in a warm voice.

Lisanna nodded her head vigorously, as if she had fully understood Ange’s words.

“Yes, I understand!”

“Huhu. Yes, it’s nice to see you like this.”

How can you nod your head so many times in an instant?

As I was feeling absurd inside,

[The goddess of Fate says she’s disappointed.]

Why would she be disappointed? She knows she can’t kill her anyway.

Ange must have noticed it too.

She must have realized that Lisanna was the saint of another goddess.

Not only Ange, but Rain must have known as well.

There’s a setting that saints can sense something about each other.

I don’t know what that is, but I’m not a saint, so how would I know?

As I was making excuses in my mind, Willy had come after the lecture and was now pulling on my sleeve.

“Huh? When did you come?”

“…… Just now.”

“What about the others? Didn’t you attend Misaka’s lecture? Eileen, Jenny, and Mark were there too, weren’t they?”

“…… Those three went to the Adventurer’s lecture.”

“Oh.”

I guess that’s why she was hanging out alone like me.

My sister is just like me.

She has the same loner qualities as me.

As I was talking to Willy, Ange looked at her.

Willy realized that Ange was no ordinary person and hid behind me.

She stared at her blankly.

Hey, sister. Aren’t you stronger than me?

“She’s my younger sister.”

“Ah…”

“Willy, say hello. This is Rain and also Ange, she is the daughter or Lien.”

“……?!”

At my words, Willy widened her eyes.

Then,

Blink, blink, blink.

She blinked her eyes three times in a row.

If I read her expression,

‘Huh? The one from the fairy tale? Lien is her mother? What’s going on? How did this happen?’

It’s clear what she’s thinking.

Ange found Willy, who was hiding behind me with only her face peeking out, cute, so she approached her and hugged her.

Willy was nestled in Ange’s majestic chest.

[The goddess of Fate asks if you’re jealous.]

My expression must have given it away, as the constellation sent me a message, looking amused.

Rain also looked at me with a slightly surprised expression.

“Really. I heard the story from Soo-yong, but…”

“No, I mean, anyway, why are you here? You’re in a relationship with Soo-yong, so why are you here?”

“Ah, we’re not together yet!”

But your smile is too big for that.

“And Soo-yong is still attending a lecture.”

“Oh,”

It seems he’s attending the Adventurer’s lecture.

Only Karin and Tony’s lectures haven’t ended yet.

All other lectures have finished.

By the way, where is Skaya? We were supposed to eat together!

When I look around, there are many students attending the magic lecture, but Skaya is nowhere to be seen.

‘Did this girl ditch me and eat alone?’

Just as I was thinking that,

-Whoosh!

I heard the sound of someone swinging their hand behind me.

I quickly dodged to the side and turned my head back.

“Why are you so late?”

“Huh? Ah, Makarov asked me to talk for a bit.”

As expected of someone from the Winton family.

Moreover, she has the unique trait of casting spells without incantations.

If even the Grand Sage Makarov wants to talk to her, her talent must be incredibly overpowered.

“Well, in that case, there’s nothing more to say. Let’s just eat. I’ve been waiting for you.”

“Ah. Yes. But why are there so many women around you?”

“Huh? It’s just a coincidence.”

“Is it?”

“Yes, it is.”

At my straightforward answer, Skaya narrowed her eyes, but I ignored her gaze and ordered ramen.

As I ordered, the rest of the group began to order their food as well.

By the way, Ange tried my ramen and kimchi and found it as spicy as Eileen.

K-ramen and kimchi are indeed unbeatable.

.

.

.

After finishing our meal, Skaya and I headed to the magic lecture hall.

I was curious about how Makarov conducted his lectures, so I asked her.

“Hey, how was the lecture?”

“Hmm. He just taught some theory at the beginning, and then he gave feedback to each student one by one.”

“Hmm.”

That’s quite efficient.

In fact, even if the Grand Sage taught theory, most students probably wouldn’t understand it.

The knowledge gap between him and the students is immense.

So, it’s much more helpful to give individual feedback than to teach theory in a boring way.

But what magic should I show?

As I was thinking, we arrived at our destination.

We entered the lecture hall, and it seemed like we were the first ones there, as there were hardly any people inside.

“Where do you want to sit?”

“Of course, in the front row.”

Skaya immediately answered my question.

I nodded at her response and headed to the front row.

Hmm? That back of the head looks familiar.

Long blue hair reaching down to the waist.

Even though I could only see the back of the head, the person seemed to have a gentle aura.

I called out to her, thinking it might be Sion.

“Professor Sion?”

“Yes, yes?!”

Sion flinched as if she had been caught stealing food.

Why are you here, too?

It wasn’t just me who thought it was strange; Skaya also tilted her head in confusion.

“Professor, why are you here?”

“Ahahaha. Well, I also wanted to attend the Grand Sage’s lecture.”

“…… Are the other professors doing the same thing?”

Sion looked at the distant mountains and replied.

“Ah, yes, they are.”

Sion couldn’t lie, so she just admitted it.

She also shared information that I didn’t want to know.

“But, Professor William is not like that.”

“Ah, yes.”

That guy would definitely do that.

I’m sure he’s sleeping soundly in his research room, bragging about how great it is.

By the way,

“Why do you all want to attend the lecture so much, including Professor Lucy?”

“Of course, we want to listen. It’s the Grand Sage’s lecture! We’re not just professors; we have our own professions.”

“Ah…”

That’s true.

I had been so fixated on the idea of them being professors that I forgot that the woman in front of me was a magician before she was a teacher.

If a person at the pinnacle of magic is giving a lecture, who wouldn’t want to listen?

It’s only natural that Sion would want to listen no matter what.

I understand, but still.

“You must really want to listen to the lecture if you’re even wearing your school uniform, Professor.”

“Ugh!”

I wanted to pretend I didn’t see it, but it was a bit much.

No, I really want to pretend I didn’t see it, but it’s just…

Usually, when someone has a lot of mana, aura, magic, or ki, their face doesn’t age at some point.

So it’s only natural that Sion, who has a lot of mana, looks young.

However,

It’s a bit too much.

I’m sure she’s feeling quite embarrassed right now.

It’s not just me who thinks so; Skaya, who usually looks up to Sion with respect, also made an indescribable expression.

Moreover, she even stuttered.

“P, Professor, it suits you.”

“Y, yes…”

Sion blushed with embarrassment and lowered her head.

We tried to ignore her reaction and sat down next to her.

Not long after,

-Shuffle, shuffle.

The sound of someone walking down the hallway could be heard.

It wasn’t just me who heard it; everyone’s gaze turned towards the source of the sound.

-Creak!

An old man entered the room, opening the door.

He wore a robe that a magician would wear, and his white beard reached down to his chest.

It was clear at a glance.

The man in front of us was the Grand Sage.

[The goddess of Fate says she hasn’t seen that pervert in a while.]

The constellation must have met the Grand Sage a few times.

By the way, a pervert?

In the game, there wasn’t much information about him, and he didn’t appear often, so I didn’t know much about his settings.

But from the constellation’s message, it seems like he has a bit of a perverted streak.

Of course, since he’s also the Grand Sage, he probably hasn’t committed any crimes.

Considering his settings…

As I was reflecting on him, Makarov opened his mouth.

“Hehe. My name is Makarov. Well, everyone, I’m sure you’d rather listen to the lecture than hear my introduction.”

Everyone nodded at his words.

Makarov smiled kindly and continued,

“So, let’s quickly go over the theory, and then each of you will come up and demonstrate your magic. I’ll cast a barrier, so you can go all out.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Makarov began his boring theory lecture.

.

.

.

As Skaya had said, the theory lecture ended quickly.

Most students were now feeling nervous as the feedback session approached, but

“Ah…”

Professor Sion seemed to want to hear more theory, as she sighed in disappointment.

Professor…

I felt embarrassed on her behalf.

“From now on, each of you will come up to the podium and demonstrate your magic. I will cast a barrier, so you can go all out.”

As Makarov stroked his beard, he pointed at me.
