But Yohan had his own position too. Nothing would change if he stayed still. He was buried under a mountain of tests and could barely breathe, so it was impossible for him to just sit there calmly. Yohan pointed to the academic schedule posted on the wall. Suhyeok and his friends turned their heads. “What’s that?” “They say it’s the academic schedule. Hmm… there’s a monthly assessment, a dormitory group evaluation, then a short festival, and after that a comprehensive test and the…- 251.0 K • Ongoing
“Then let’s focus on the fact that today you were able to use divine power at a distance from your body.” In the end, Mikael adjusted the goal. It was a little humiliating, but Yohan didn’t yet have the skill to suddenly become a prodigy and do everything Mikael said, so he accepted it. …I’ll just keep practicing whenever I have time. He wasn’t satisfied leaving things like that, so during break time he secretly added an extra training slot to his schedule. After finishing the…- 251.0 K • Ongoing
This conversation wasn’t meant to attack him, probe him, or make him uncomfortable. Yohan’s grip on his arm wasn’t strong enough to keep him from pulling away. If Mikael really wanted to, he could have shaken him off at any moment. “What I mean is… that’s your nature, Mikael. I just don’t want you to forget it.” “…” Yohan had more to say, but he stopped. Adding more would only water down the meaning. Mikael didn’t reply, but he didn’t pull his hand away either. His…- 251.0 K • Ongoing
The betrayal left Yohan staring wide-eyed, until his friends gently patted his shoulder. “Don’t cry, Yohan. Your lecture was amazing.” “Yes. You have no idea how kind and helpful you were. I’ve never had a class like that before.” “You’re the best teacher we’ve ever had.” “You were really kind!” “We’ll count on you from now on, Yohan!” “You’re the best, Yohan!” “Become a professor, Yohan!” “…” At first, their words sounded like warm…- 251.0 K • Ongoing
“…Your outfit is quite extravagant today.” Even though he was only acting as a temporary professor, the headmaster arrived ten minutes late, laughing cheerfully like a fool. Yohan couldn’t help but doubt whether it was wise to let someone like him teach, but he chose his words carefully as he commented on the bizarre clothing. The headmaster straightened his back, adopting a dignified posture. “A headmaster and a professor are different, so the clothes must be different…- 251.0 K • Ongoing
“…He said he’s going to bring someone out?” Yohan thought about the headmaster’s parting words, his expression thoughtful, before he found himself surrounded by his classmates from Divine Studies. “…Sorry we couldn’t help you, Yohan.” “Yes, I’m sorry too. We were just… really desperate.” “Thank you, Yohan Herse!” “You too, Mikael!” “Right, Mikael, I never thought you’d step up like that. I’ll never forget this favor. Every night when I pray, I’ll…- 251.0 K • Ongoing
But contrary to Yohan’s worries, the nameless headmaster didn’t dump the cleanup work on the students. He simply snapped his fingers and stopped the time of the entire building. The time of the building itself. The flames that had been consuming it froze in place, still glowing but motionless. The collapsing structure, caught mid-fall, stopped with debris suspended in midair. In an instant, the flow of time around the building had halted, and Yohan’s eyes widened. “…Is that even…- 251.0 K • Ongoing
The relationship between mages and those with divine power had never been particularly good. Students got along well enough, forced to cooperate under their professors’ authority, but the professors themselves were another matter entirely. Even on ordinary days, whenever those two professors crossed paths in the hallway, they never passed by quietly. They always had something disparaging to say about each other. And now, after just a week, it seemed their war of words had finally turned into an actual…- 251.0 K • Ongoing
“Yohan! I heard the news! I heard you fainted! Are you sure you’re fine to be up already?” “Yohan Herse, what happened with that cardiac arrest last night? Did your griffin attack you while you were weak?” “Yohan, I’m glad you’re alive. But I heard something from the others… Is it true that the headmaster personally healed you?” “……” When Yohan went out for morning exercises before first period, a group of students rushed over and started spouting nonsense. Hearing…- 251.0 K • Ongoing
His straight fingers touched Yohan’s chest, pressing against his sternum as he met Yohan’s gaze. “…You mean I can take your punishment away?” Yohan could barely speak after a long pause, the conversation was too much to process. Mikael stood from his seat. “Not exactly take it away. It’s closer to neutralizing it. I’ll still bear the punishment, but the wounds and pain that come after tearing my wings, you’ll be the one to heal them.” “But I already failed.” Yohan had…- 251.0 K • Ongoing
