Benedict Academy
01. Welcome, welcome! (Manager)


(Zion point of view)

?/ ํ์ํ ์ญ
Ah, ah. For the student representative's congratulatory address, Student Council President Yeo Hwan-woong, please come forward.

I was sleepy. Just sleepy. I was clearly wide awake just a moment ago, but sleep suddenly crept over me. I never knew I could sleep standing up. The academy was definitely the best opportunity.

A student, looking well-suited to the Academy uniform, stepped onto the podium and cleared his throat. It seemed he had used magical power to create a loudspeaker. The immense power of his magical power awakened the students one by one.


์ฌํ์
Hello, freshmen. I'm student body president Yeo Hwan-woong. Welcome to Benediction Academy. Here, you will be able to fully develop your magical abilities. I wish you great success. That's all for now.

The students responded with applause to his refreshing presentation, and the principal, his face flushed, hurriedly left the gymnasium.

The sight of her smiling as she came down from the podium was wonderful. The way she refused to tolerate even a single thread tangling her uniform was wonderful. It was like love at first sight.


์์จ
It's really, really amazing.

"This is a total hit!" I exclaimed inwardly, smiling brightly. The Felice freshmen hurried to the dormitory representative at the instruction to gather and receive guidance, but the thought of the student council president lingered in their minds.

Student body president Yeo Hwan-woong.


๋ ์ด๋ธ
So how long do you plan on watching it?


์ฌํ์
Until you can fully unfold the magical field.


๋ ์ด๋ธ
Idiot. What are you going to use that for?


์ฌํ์
It's just, it's cool. I think this is better than calling it out separately.

Hwanung tapped the tip of his quill against the paper and said, "Why don't you take lessons from the magic class?" Raven offered a clever suggestion, and Hwanung grinned.


์ฌํ์
It's right next to you. The Magic Class. Wouldn't a fourth-year student be able to operate it perfectly?

"So, hyung, teach me," he said, his blue eyes gleaming as usual. "I told you not to tell that to just anyone." Hwanung asked, looking disappointed as Raven averted his gaze.


์ฌํ์
So, am I one of those "anyone"? Ugh. I guess I'll have to try harder.

"I thought it would be enough to just wield swordsmanship to take the Academy by storm." Raven flinched at Hwanung's words and denied it.


๋ ์ด๋ธ
No, that's not it. Oh, let's go eat at the cafeteria. They say it's delicious today.

As Raven abruptly changed his tune, Hwanung nodded and took his right hand. "Tell me about the Magical Field, and I'll eat it."


์ฌํ์
It didn't taste good. I need to hold my brother responsible.


๋ ์ด๋ธ
I told you I'd teach you how to create a magical field?

Okay, okay. As the two headed back to the dorm, a blonde figure blocked their path. It was Zion.


์์จ
Hey, hey. Senior Hwanung. Be friends with me!

If it doesn't work... then don't... Hwanung chuckled slightly at Zion's increasingly hazy words. Zion's eyes shook slightly.


์ฌํ์
Is that so? Hey, this story might be a bit long, so go back to the dorm first. I'll be there soon.

As Raven nodded and walked to the dormitory alone, Hwanung smiled and introduced himself.


์ฌํ์
As you already know, I'm Yeo Hwan-ung. I'm a third-year student. If it's awkward to address you with a high level, I'll just say it. What's your name?


์์จ
I, I am... Sion Fabian Imperial... I am a freshman...

"You can stop talking." Zion, nervous, trailed off. Hwanung seemed to find that endearing, lowering his head and smiling.


์ฌํ์
If you're a freshman, you might not know this building very well. I'll show you all the way around the school, even the entrances. But until you get used to it, it's probably best to stick together. Oh, and you can talk too. It's uncomfortable.

They toured the campus, chatting about various things. When Hwanung suggested they meet at the school festival the next day, Zion blushed and said, "Okay." The fresh-faced freshman in her response was evident.
