“The total is 3,258,440,000 won with points and affiliated card discounts applied. I will help you pay.”

“Here it is.”

Sega watched the store clerk accept Geum Eun-yo’s check card with trembling hands.

It wasn’t a credit card, it was a check card.

How much money is in the bank account?

“ruler.”

“… … .”

Geum Eun-yo calmly handed the sword to Sega.

A straight sword with a black-gray blade was contained within a sheath neatly finished in black and silver.

It was made by processing the dragon bone with good magical power receptivity and the shell of a very hard turtle-shaped demon using the Damascus folding method.

If it was made of 100% dragon bone, it would have been three to four times more expensive, but since it’s an alloy, the price has gone down.

Geum Eun-yo muttered as if she was slightly dissatisfied.

“Why didn’t you just buy it as 100% Dragon Bone? I said I would buy it for you?”

Jeong Se-ga answered with just a little bit of regret.

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have chosen something worth 10 billion won.’

I really didn’t know they would pay me 3.2 billion in a lump sum.

“If your magical power receptivity is high, you’ll be able to draw out your sword energy easily, but your strength will be slightly reduced. At my level, there will still be times when I have to fight after my sword energy has decreased.”

The fact that high magical power receptivity means slightly lower strength was something Lee Gyeom had said in passing.

Geum Eun-yo nodded as if she understood.

“Yeah. It’s really important to know exactly what you can do right now. If you accidentally break a 10 billion dollar bill, you won’t be able to sleep.”

She gestured and left the store, and Sega followed her naturally.

I felt a considerable amount of weight on the waistband of my school uniform.

Sega asked with some hesitation.

“Silver. Can I take this?”

I couldn’t stop laughing after wearing a 3.2 billion won sword on my waist.

At the same time, his remaining conscience pricked his chest.

Until recently, he was a petit bourgeois who trembled at the thought of ten thousand won.

“I said it’s information value?”

“I think you already knew that. I can’t believe that the story I told you was worth 3 billion won. That’s too much money.”

Geum Eun-yo raised her eyebrows.

“Is that a lot of money?”

“what?”

Sega was speechless for a moment, and Geum Eun-yo laughed as if it was a joke.

The purple eyes were beautifully curved.

“Yes. That’s right. Even though I’m a tycoon, it’s not a small amount of money. But do you know? You’re the first person to come to me?”

“huh?”

“There are a lot of people who look up to me like I’m some kind of legendary creature, saying ‘Golden and Silver, Golden and Silver’ behind my back, but you’re the first one to come and talk to me. You were the first to get my number, and you were the first to exchange texts with me.”

“Who is the guy who gave you my number?”

“A friend I was close with before I came here. My old friend and pseudo-secretary.”

“ah.”

While Se-ga hesitated after unintentionally finding out the inside story of the daughter of a wealthy family, Geum-eun-yo continued speaking brightly.

“When you first saw me, you looked up to me so much that you didn’t even greet me, but then you came to me and even wrote me a letter. You were worried about me, weren’t you?”

Sega nodded.

“Now that I think about it, who am I, winning… … .”

My face was starting to feel hot.

“Me. It’s been a really really long time since I’ve had anyone worry about me.”

Geum Eun-yo smiled maturely and walked through the campus, which was covered in grass and shrubs, with her long legs swinging.

She turned her head and asked.

“It’s been a while since I’ve had this much free time. Do you want to go for a walk?”

Sega responded by following her side.

After walking for about 10 minutes and leaving the first-year student area, I could smell the water.

After passing through a small pine forest, a large lake park came into view.

“and.”

It seemed like it would take an hour to walk around the perimeter.

The water was extremely clear, there were two small islands in it, and colorful ducks were swimming around in flocks.

Geum Eun-yo pointed to the willow trees on one side with his finger and said.

“Isn’t it cool?”

“How did you make it?”

“It was originally built for underwater warfare training, but it was made possible by using the Han River, so now it’s just a walking path.”

“… … .”

* * *

Segawa and Eunyo walked around the lakeside park while chatting about this and that.

“No. The only thing I’m good at is pyromancy. I tried to set the mood in that class, but Yeshin unnie just threw me into the corner!”

“The mood has already been set by the point where you can call that professor ‘sister’.”

Eunyo let go of her adult-like aura and confessed her feelings, and asked Sega many questions.

“Sega. Then what was the most absurd thing that happened?”

“I once did public service work, like cleaning up trash. When I came back, I would wash up in a public shower, eat lunch, and get paid. But when I came back, a small demon came down and ate my lunch and the public servant who was managing it. I went into the shower to wash up, but the water was cut off, and when I tried to collect my daily wage, the civil servant in charge ran away after seeing the demon. That’s how I wasted a day.”

“oh my god.”

Sega also spoke in a wistful tone, as if telling an old story that had now completely ended.

“When I first came here, I was really surprised. Hot water kept coming out without any time limit? I didn’t know that air conditioning could be in every room. It was my first time seeing a chandelier. I saw a lot of embarrassed and embarrassed faces.”

“I panicked too. I went into the dormitory, and the kids who were originally in that room all ran away when they saw my face. When I came out after washing up, the room was completely empty. I called out to them, “Hey guys!” and felt like a total idiot. In the end, I asked the kids I knew to come.”

There was a story that was actually good to tell because there was an appropriate amount of distance between them, and the two of them had that exact distance between them.

“First year?”

Occasionally, second and third year students would approach the first year students, wondering why they were there, or would try to show off.

“Hey! Hey?!”

The moment they recognized Geum Eun-yo’s face, they ran away three times faster than when they had approached.

“They told me not to get involved with my seniors.”

“yes.”

“It seems like your seniors don’t want to get involved with you.”

“If even my seniors are like that, how much worse must my peers be? Even though I’m barely getting average grades… … No one believes me.”

“Yeah. I didn’t believe it either.”

Jeong Se-ga treated the successor to the Maseok conglomerate with an attitude worthy of a future S-class.

“There’s a brunch cafe over there. Aren’t you curious about what’s different about the cafe for 2nd and 3rd year students?”

Polite but not servile, dignified but not arrogant.

Geum Eun-yo smiled leisurely as if she really liked that.

“I’m curious. Let’s go.”

As someone who had never had any free time since birth, I could only feel envious.

However, the acting skills of Jeong Se-ga, who lived in a place where he was beaten and had everything taken away the moment he showed weakness, had already reached a new level.

Enough to fool yourself, if only for a little while.

“Oh, we’ve been talking for hours. We’ve been talking all day.”

“Let’s not come here next time. I feel sorry for the seniors who are keeping an eye on the daughter of a wealthy family.”

“Yes. There is no need for our new Seoul’s future pillars to be concerned about their employers’ opinions.”

Saaaa.

A cool breeze blew, the willow branches swayed, and a ground spider slowly crawled from the eastern sky.

At that moment, Jeong Se-ga felt something prickling.

The splendid campus buildings rose tall on the vast lawn, and the red sun blazed beyond the splendid gymnasium.

In this vast land, all that was visible were him and Geum-eun-yo, and Geum-eun-yo was originally a person from a world he would never see with his own eyes, and the same was true for Shin-seoul.

‘It was good to come here.’

Jeong Se-ga thought about it sincerely and closed his eyes tightly.

Geum Eun-yo tucked her hair behind her ear and snapped her fingers.

Exactly.

A fist-sized red flame burst into the air with a cheerful sound.

“Show me too. I couldn’t see it properly back then.”

“This is my second time without a patch… … I’ll give it a try.”

Sega came to his senses, put his palms out in front of his body, and concentrated his magical power.

The ‘combustion’ that breaks down the magic fat begins, and smoke rises briefly from the palm of the hand, followed by blue flames.

Hurrruk!

Once the flame was completed, it could be maintained solely by magic, but it felt like it was connected by some invisible thread.

Geum Eun-yo muttered with her purple eyes sparkling.

“That’s strange. I can’t use this either.”

“It turns out that characteristics are affected that much.”

“That’s right. Talent is biased. Just like how Sister Chae-seo can’t use swordsmanship, and Uncle Kwon-se can’t create flames.”

“Professors, are you the ones being compared to? Just how strong are you magic stone tycoons?”

“You’ve gone too far. To Nana, Sahee, Dahyun, and those others, you’re still just a bonfire in front of the sun. And you can’t answer that question.”

It was not ‘not’ but ‘not’.

Sega didn’t miss that subtle nuance.

“It’s like a secret.”

Geum Eun-yo smiled maturely and shook her head.

“No. It’s a top-level national secret.”

“… … ?!”

Sega closed his mouth, and Eunyo tilted her head back slightly and looked up at the sky as she spoke.

“Shall I show you something pretty?”

Wow!

The next moment, the fist-sized flame floating in front of Eun-yo’s eyes split into hundreds of flames, wrapping around the two of them and slowly spinning, moving up and down.

“Touch it.”

“I’m not yet a strong magician who is invincible in both cold and heat?”

“It’s not a hot fire?”

“Is that possible?”

“Would it be easier for you?”

Sega slowly reached out and placed a spark on the tip of his finger.

“It’s true.”

It was so precariously fragile that it seemed as if it would fly away if blown on or fall apart if grasped, yet it swayed in an incredibly beautiful way.

Suddenly a laugh came out of my mouth.

In the heart of New Seoul, with a chaebol daughter, I was playing with a cold fire.

It felt like a dream.

A butterfly fluttered away, avoiding the two.

* * *

Sega dropped Eunyo off at the dormitory and returned to the dormitory room he shared with Kyeom.

Kyeom was studying about the Minotaur and the famous students of Shinseoul.

Minotaur’s main attack patterns and student rosters were uploaded to separate files on the laptop window.

The name Geum Eui-yo of Class 11 was just written on the file.

Kyeom looked back at Sega and asked.

“You’re here? You’ve been out all day.”

“Yeah. I have someone to meet.”

Sega answered monotonously.

Kyeom sniffled for a moment, then suddenly got up from his seat.

“Perfume? You, you met a girl!? Who is it? Ugh! I envy you! Iljinrim? Or Choi Seonmi?”

“no.”

“Then who are you? Could it be Joo Da-hyun?”

“I said no.”

Sega denied it repeatedly, and Kyeom said, “No way, no way.”

“Didn’t there appear to be posts on the community’s hunting section earlier about Geum Eun-yo and someone taking a walk together? The administrator deleted it in an instant… … No way?”

“……haha.”

Sega averted his eyes, and Kyeom glared.

“Really? Really? No, you really met Geum Eun-yo? This is crazy!”

He peppered me with questions.

“How was it? Were you beaten a lot? You weren’t tortured by fire, were you? If you don’t come to the Venus Group after graduation, I’ll destroy your entire family.”

But the question was a little strange.

“That wasn’t it. The atmosphere was fine. Is that the image of the Maseok conglomerates?”

“Yeah. Reckless, arrogant, shameless, and gullible. When you see Joo Da-hyun, you get that vibe right? The kind of vibe where you don’t see people as people. Anyway, I’m glad to hear that nothing happened. We’re at our best.”

Kyeom let out a sigh of relief.

Sega changed his clothes with a bitter smile.

“It seems far from those rumors.”

“Going out again?”

“Now I have to go to the autonomous training center and study on my own.”

Then I opened my personal safe and drank one of the low-grade magic affinity potions I had bought a while ago.

I felt my eyes clearer and a refreshing sensation.

Out of his entire fortune of 418 million won, 50 million won just disappeared into his throat.

Sega glanced at the sword on his waist.

It was time to grab the piece of the dream and return to reality.

“… … .”

To a reality that will be better than yesterday.

“Good.”
