Ellen Aiden (1)
An uncomfortable silence came. I was regretting the words that I had unknowingly spit out, and Aiden put on a bewildered expression just like Aiden.
“… really isn’t it?”
Since that day, there has been no change in the crisis detection system, so I thought he had lost interest in me, but that wasn’t the case. I don’t know for some reason, but seeing that I know my face, I think I’ve done a background check…
Even if I evade this seat now, I may come to class tomorrow.
‘Because I don’t know what to do because I lied.’
I shook my head and said.
“No, that’s true. I’m Seo Ji-han.”
“What? But why did you say no?”
“···There are a lot of children who hold a grudge against me. When I ask if it’s me, it’s become a habit to go away. You didn’t come to me for that reason, did you?”
“Hmm…, I understand. Because I heard something.”
Aiden nodded as if convinced by that.
Rather, it was correct that I did my own background investigation. I think it would be more correct to think that you understand my usual behavior and personal relationships. Why the hell are you approaching me?
“So what did you come here for?”
“Once you know who I am, right?”
“Ellen Aiden, right? I heard you came to find me last time.”
“Yes. It was a pity that I couldn’t meet you back then. As for why I came to see you…”
Aiden put his arms on the bench and put his face close to me. It smells sweet, even if it has been sprayed with expensive perfume.
“I’m a little interested in Seo Ji-han.”
eyes met When I got close enough to see my face in the enemy’s eyes, I got goosebumps for a moment and I unknowingly avoided my body. Aiden’s eyes widened at my reaction.
“Ah, you hate things like this. I like it more.”
I didn’t like it, I just avoided it because I was afraid. I still can’t get used to the wall or gold eyes, but when I look into the most heterogeneous enemy eye, it’s even more so.
‘As long as this guy is a villain in the first place, honestly, I’m still scared.’
Even now, I know that the way you treat me is pretentious. If it was a guy who didn’t know much about Aiden, he might be excited about the situation, but at least not me.
Anyway, about that part, I let Aiden misunderstand me, pretending it was nothing, and frowned.
“If you’re going to talk like that, I don’t want to talk about it. What’s the matter?”
“Okay. It’s good for me to go straight to the point. I heard the story from the last magic class.”
Aiden tapped the phone and showed me the screen.
“He said he collapsed after seeing this. Did you realize something?”
That’s the magic circle I saw back then.
A top-notch magic circle that was used to seal the gate introduced by a wizard named Eron.
As soon as the perk was activated, I hurriedly cut off Aiden’s arm and turned my head. Less than the last time, but just like that time, his head started to get hot and he started to feel nauseous. The heterogeneous knowledge that has been so hard to forget is also becoming conscious by revealing its presence again.
“It’s amazing. Do you feel something else?”
Aiden naturally sat down next to me and continued talking. He was covering his mouth from the rising nausea, so he had no choice but to listen.
“Until now, there was no one who was born on a pure Earth and had a talent for magic. As you know, Younha also has a talent for dealing with ‘mana’ rather than ‘magic’. Because they were descendants of blood.”
I barely calmed myself down at the sudden, verbose sound and shot.
“What the hell kind of bullshit…? So what?”
Perhaps embarrassed by my aggressive tone, Aiden flinched for a moment and averted his gaze.
“···I’m sorry about what happened. It’s a step-by-step awakening.”
Then he moved his body to the side and moved away from me a little.
“It is extremely rare for a wizard to come across such a phenomenon even after devoting his or her whole life to magic. But Jihan-san must have only been exposed to magic in B-class classes so far, so what is this talent?”
Is this dog-like sensation called enlightenment? I knew it was a side effect from the privilege, but I didn’t know it was such a state.
…this guy seems to think I have magical talents after hearing about it.
“That’s why I’m here to offer you a good offer. It’s a pity that my talents rot.”
“A proposal? What a proposal.”
“During this performance review, we will unconditionally upgrade you to Class A. You want to be promoted to Class A, right?”
I was so proud that I was at a loss for words for a moment.
huh really You said it out loud like that. It’s the part that everyone tacitly takes a break. It’s obvious from the fact that all of the Named Top graduates are Class A.
“What strength are you, a student?”
“You know and don’t pretend you don’t know. My grandfather is the manager on the 50th floor. It’s so simple that I don’t even need to name it.”
“Hmm…. What are you doing this to me because you feel sorry for me? I don’t see you as such a person because of pure goodwill.”
“You’re saying it’s disappointing. Well, actually, I have something to ask of you.”
Aiden said so and looked around.
More people than before had entered the training ground and were spying on this side. Aiden stood up, wondering if it would be good to show this to others.
“Shall we talk somewhere else?”
“Where are you going?”
“There’s a rest area used by wizards, so we’ll talk there. There won’t be anyone there.”
If you refuse, there might be a backlash. Eventually, I had to get up.
When I go outside and walk in the cold wind, my stomach calms down. Even after checking the status window, the 39th privilege, ‘Those who saw the truth’ was still active, so I couldn’t change it to inactive.
Rather….
“This week… a new school transfer coming… hehe!”
I looked back and put on a pathetic expression.
“Are you kidding me now?”
“That’s not…, no, whoops. Your steps…, it’s too fast… Oh!”
Aiden leaned on his knees as if he was out of breath and exhaled harshly. Yes, the academy’s grounds are large, but he didn’t run and just walked a little bit faster. No matter how much he is a wizard, there is a problem with the body of an Awakened being exhausted to this extent.
“You don’t seem to even exercise, so why are you wearing expensive workout clothes?”
It seems that there was a weak setting, but I didn’t know it would be this lack of exercise. Aiden answered my question after holding his breath for a while.
“Whoa. First, I have a lot of money, and secondly, I bought it by hand to look good to you.”
“…what is that. Do you like me?”
“Please don’t talk nonsense. I’ve heard and know the unfounded hostility towards your top graduates and talented people. If you wear it like this, you look like a person who usually trains, so the purpose was to make a good first impression.
“·······Oh, yes. Sorry for the misunderstanding.”
I said this as a joke, but when I was in the dark, I cringed without realizing it. Other than that, did he have a setting like this? She’s been feeling it for a while, but her personality is quite different from the Ellen Aiden I’ve seen in the game.
He was always a rough character.
‘Is it because I’m not Noah Park?’
After all, the reason Aiden grows up as a villain is because of his inferiority complex towards Park Noah, so there is nothing we can’t understand why he shows such a gap.
“If it’s that hard, talk here. There’s no one around.”
“No.”
Whew! Just in time, a strong winter wind blew, and Aiden’s silver hair tied in a single strand fluttered as if flying. Aiden hugged himself, he said.
“It’s cold.”
“…and even using magic.”
“If you don’t smoke here, it’s going to cause a lot of trouble because of the wind. It’s all here, so be patient.”
I still haven’t arrived because of anyone.
As Aiden had said, everything had come, and not long after, a separate building appeared. Even the name of the rest area is huge.
Aiden unlocked the locked door and looked at me.
“We talk as we walk.”
As we entered the building, it felt relatively warm because it was not blown away by the wind.
I followed the dark hallway, looking at the back of Aiden’s head. A voice came from before.
“I made that offer to make my side.”
“You’re on your side. Are you a bully?”
“…I have a lot of friends. It’s not like that, but a faction made up of people who blindly follow and follow me.”
Influence? what is this again
“Why do you need that?”
“I told you before? Aren’t you curious about the new transfer student to Class A this week? It’s because of him.”
I’m talking about Noah Park.
As he stopped walking and entered the room, Aiden fumbled for the wall and clicked on the light. Then I saw a comfy sofa and a table stacked with refreshments inside. Aiden sat down on the sofa, and I sat down opposite him.
“He has a strange ability to attract people around him to his side.”
That’s because he’s the main character.
I couldn’t say that, so I bluntly replied back.
“Why? Isn’t it just popular?”
“I’m popular too.”
Since the story is going to be long, let’s not just ask questions and just quietly accept what we have to say.
“Do you know what happens to that magical ability that isn’t even magic?”
“Well.”
Aiden bit his lip and muttered.
“…if you don’t like or follow him, you will be left alone. You will be left alone or marginalized.”
“I’m trying to pre-create my own forces against him. Not only talented people, but people like you.”
“After hearing the story, I don’t understand anymore. Why do I have to do that?”
“The person who didn’t follow ‘Noah Park’ until the end and was left alone was someone like you.”
…Aiden is making a big mistake.
The person I am today is different from the person named Seo Ji-han that she knew. Rather, he is someone who helps Park Noah to see the ending again in this world, a force that loses to Aiden and Chuck.
“That person’s name is Noah Park.”
If so, then this offer should be rejected.
It’s an A class, so I can go up on my own, so there’s no merit. It’s better to refuse now than to go back and betray later.
“If you want to fight for power in the academy in a childish way, I’ll leave. I’m just tired and not like that.”
“··············································································You are pretending that you do not notice. Or do you really not know?
Aiden stood up and raised his voice for the first time.
“Do you know that someone is doing this because they want to bother you?
“I’m doing this because I want to graduate from Yoosung Academy safely!”
“Wait. What is that…”
Crazy!
Then, suddenly, as if a power outage had gone out, the lights went out.
A moment of silence came. Soon it breaks, and footsteps are clearly heard from the hallway. The number was not at the level of one or two.
Aiden’s breathing stopped and then he muttered quietly.
“···I’m sorry. I got you involved.”
I didn’t even have to ask what he was talking about.
Someone has attacked this place. The purpose is probably…
‘Ellen Aiden.’
It was the villain in front of me.
