Initially, a persons first impression lasts a long time. If you have a good first impression of someone, you will like that person until a certain incident occurs, and if you have a bad first impression, that bad impression wont go away no matter how much good the person does afterwardthe so-called colored glasses, which have a huge impact on human relationships that cannot be ignored.

And Jackson has a grudge against me, so no matter what I do, hell hate me.

Do you know him? Nicole asked me in an awkward atmosphere. Shes quick-witted, so she must have noticed Jacksons discomfort with me.

In the first place, her question was someone I know, not friend. Well, I nodded my head because she was right about the certain someone I know.

Yeah. We both are Academics students.

Ah, right

Dont think that you and I are on the same level. Its just disgusting. Before Nicole could speak, Jacksons rant pierced our ears. Nicole blinked, wondering if she had heard the words correctly.

Meanwhile, Jackson was expressing his displeasure as if the verbal abuse he had just hurled were obvious and true. I was aware that he was steeped in chosen people ideology, but I didnt know he would say it so openly in this way.

Jackson went on, Im just in a bad mood. Anyway, how much is this and that?

Huh? That Its 27 gold and 59 silver in total

In Korean currency, one piece of gold was worth about 100,000 won. And 1 gold equals 100 silver, so it was roughly around 2.76 million won.

Jackson expressed his displeasure at the exorbitantly high price, but then opened his mouth and stated that he didnt care about the price. Tsk. The design sucks, and its needlessly expensive. Anyway, Rex, pay the price and follow me.

All right.

Perhaps wanting to get out of the gloomy atmosphere as soon as possible, he threw off his flashy costume and gave an order to the attendant named Rex. Rex picked up the robe that Jackson had thrown on the floor.

Then, as Jackson instructed, he took a pouch from his pocket, counted the gold coins one by one, and handed them to the sales lady.

Here is 28 gold. Keep the balance.

Ah. Th-Thank you.

What are you doing?! Arent you coming already?!

Although the attendant was not slow, Jackson let out a high-pitched voice filled with annoyance. While the employee flinched at the needlessly-high voice, Rex responded without blinking, as if this were the norm.

Im sorry, Young Master.

Hurry up quickly. And Jackson changed his mind and turned to face me. Despite the harsh gaze, I remained unimpressed and unaffected. After staring at me for a while, he glanced at Nicole standing next to me.

Then he sarcastically raised the corner of his mouth and said, Could it be that you came to buy a suit with your sister? Youre not going to attend the freshman meeting, are you?

Oh yes, I am.

Its not necessary to say much to a guy like this, and its best to respond to sarcasm with a blunt answer. As I replied so, Jacksons eyes twitched as I took his attitude in casually.

Jacksons expression broke for a moment, but he soon opened his mouth with a mocking laugh. Yes. Youll know when you attend. Youll soon realize its just not your place to attend.

h ltt nd mt ulr nvl t lghtnvlubm

Lets go, Rex.

All right, Young Master.

Jackson then took a step and began to walk away. Before leaving, the attendant named Rex turned his head to face me. His bright green eyes stunned me a little. The attendant then bowed his head and apologized, as if he was sorry. Unlike his young master, the servant had a more refined and respectful personality.

whats with that bastard? Nicole muttered in an angry and almost ludicrous voice not long after Jackson and the attendant had completely left. I could probably guess how enraged she was when she cursed.

I looked at her face. To slightly exaggerate, she looked like she wanted to go on a rampage right away. To be honest, if my cherished siblings were openly insulted by others in front of me, even if its someone like me, I would be furious too.

I thought about how to explain Jackson to Nicole, then simply told her what I knew. Jackson is simply a guy who hates me. I heard hes from a wealthy Count family?

A wealthy Count? Oh, hes probably from the Kerrison family.

Huh? Thats right. How did you know?

It would be strange if theres someone I dont know. Kerrison is in the top 10 of the Empire in terms of wealth.

Oh? It seems that the Count of Kerrison is famous.

My sister asked, But why is he saying something so weird to you? What happened?

Thats Nicole understood after I explained it to her a bit: from the first class to Cecily and Rina, Jacksons obvious infatuation with the two girls, and everything in between.

However, I did not mention Cecily and Rina by name, but referred to them simply as pretty schoolgirls. Nicole already knew what those two girls were like, so theres a good chance shell think Ive gotten into trouble if I mention them.

As a result, the explanation was a little lengthy, but I briefly summarized it to ensure that she understood everything.

Hes just freaking out on his own, huh?

Its like that.

Jackson, as Nicole mentioned, was going wild by himself. The guy couldnt help but feel upset because the girls he liked were closer to me. Furthermore, those two women were uninterested in Jackson.

Of course, he never gives up and talks to them whenever the opportunity arises, but Cecily and Rina still treat him in a businesslike fashion. In particular, I wonder if their favorability towards Jackson has decreased even more due to the seating assignment the other day.

If he would stay quiet and even go halfway toward moderating his superiority complex, he might receive better treatment from them; well, thats exactly what I want to say to Jackson.

Meanwhile, Nicole appeared to think for a moment before placing her hand on my shoulder and asked, Isaac, if he starts directly harassing you, tell me. Ill do something about it, okay?

I turned to look at her face. It was a face full of worry.

Uh If Jackson starts bullying me, Rina will be the first to use her hand. Or maybe Marie, who is closer to me, will take care of it first. Unlike Jackson, Marie doesnt uphold a sense of noble-born authority, because she is the daughter of a duke whose family is already much higher in noble authority and wisdom without needing to show it. However, Nicole will not know this at all unless I tell her.

In response, Nicole gently stroked my hair as if assuming my hesitancy was because I was actually worried when I just rolling my eyes. Her angry face was gone, leaving only a kind smile.

You cant answer because youre afraid your sister will get into trouble? If thats the case, dont worry. Your sister has some connections.

Ahokay.

Then shall we buy nice clothes now? Excuse me? Nicole turned to the sales lady.

Oh, yes! How can I help you? At Nicoles call, a sales lady who had been waiting from afar hurried over quickly. It is an impression of a foolish appearance with clean skin.

lghtnvlubm fr th bt nvl rdng rn

I need formal clothes for him, but do you have a red suit? A color similar to his hair as much as possible.

Hmm A scarlet suit All right, wait a minute. Ill take some measurements first.

There was a minor incident after coming here, but the planned fitting for a new suit didnt change. I stood in front of a full-length mirror and spread my arms wide as the sales lady brought a tape measure.

The lady stopped suddenly, looking startled, and asked in a timid voice, Um can I touch your body?

Huh? What do you mean by that?

Just before, the customer told me not to touch his body

There was only one person who was here before me. I sighed and answered quietly, Im fine, so you can just do it.

What a shoddy class-based society this is.

Weekends are valuable to everyone. Some people take a delicious break to relax, while others enjoy hobbies to soothe their minds and body.

And Cecily, the princess of Helium, spends her weekends conversing with Rina. Rina was her first human friend since entering Halo Academy, and along with her other hobbies, no one was more at ease with her.

Despite the fact that Rina revealed the contents of Xenons Saga Volume 8 before Cecily had a chance to read it and they warred a bit, Rina apologized first and the matter was settled. Cecily, who refused to separate herself from Rina, had fully accepted Rinas apology.

Now. Here it is.

Inside a cafe with an antique vibe, Rina placed a book on the round table and spoke to Cecily across from her. The book she placed on the table was none other than the next edition of Xenons Saga, the recently published Volume 8.

Cecily carefully held up the copy of Xenons Saga Volume 8 in her hand. She then flipped through the books pages, briefly inspecting its contents. Moments later, Cecily, after confirming that the book Rina had given her was genuine, closed the book with a satisfied expression.

Rina inquired, a little taken aback by her behavior, You didnt trust me and actually checked it?

Yeah. Its possible you might have just changed the cover of the book without providing the true contents. I heard that scams like that are prevalent these days.

You know those words hurt me? Have you forgotten who I am?

Cecily smirked, then laughed. Of course, its a joke, just a joke. Theres no way you would do anything weird to me, right?

Cecilys joke was a bit offensive to her, but Rina held it in. It was because the crime she had committed against Cecily earlier was too great.

Its different for everyone, but if someone reveals the ending of a favorite novel in the midst of an exciting development, its bound to make people angry. Even if you gave away spoilers by accident, the other person is still offended. Especially since Rina told Cecily the crucial identity of the person who duped the Xenon character because she thought Cecily had already read the eighth volume, which resulted in disaster.

Naturally, Cecily got angry, and Rina found herself in a bad mood too, and even had an argument with her about it. Fortunately, they calmed down and reconciled, but after that, Cecily never sat next to Rina.

Phew I get it. And I ask you, dont ever tell anyone that I bought the 8th volume for you. Okay?

Of course. Ill carry this secret to the grave.

Rina smiled at Cecilys happy smile as the girl hugged Volume 8 tightly. By the time she enters her grave, Rinas own descendants will probably join her. For a moment, Rina had such an unkind thought, but she shook it off. Whats important right now is not Volume 8, but asking about her current situation.

Hows academy life these days? Is it good?

There are no problems yet. Also, you are helping me out, after all.

Even a country like this has its limits. Do you have any concerns or questions?

Cecily has lived for over 100 years, but this was her first time living in human society. Fortunately, the culture of the demons has many similarities with human culture, and so far she was living without difficulty.

But sometimes demons surprise people. The biggest example is flying through the sky using magic. Halo Academy prohibits the use of magic except in certain areas, so Rina was bound to be surprised

I dont have any specific questions, and if its something I care aboutwell, the freshman gathering? Cecily answered Rinas question by tapping her cheek with her index finger as she said that.

Rina raised one eyebrow slightly in response. Cecily had also decided to follow Rina to the freshman meeting.

Gathering? Why the Gathering?

I was curious about what kind of topics would be discussed at the gathering. Not only class-related subjects but also topics related to the non-academic students who are coming to the freshman gathering.

Im not sure. But Ill bet Xenons Saga will be one of the things discussed there. Im sure of this.

Certainly, like you just said, it would be very disappointing if Xenons Saga were not included.

As Xenons Saga was at the center of many topics recently, it was an indispensable one for public gatherings. Moreover, since the new volume was recently released, various stories will naturally be discussed.

Come to think of it, what are you going to wear to the gathering?

I have a dress I brought from Helium. Im going to wear that.

Can you tell me what it looks like?

What it looks like? In response to Rinas question, Cecily set the book down for a moment. As long as she describes the clothes, she may as well draw a picture on the table using her finger, which should be sufficient.

Rina began to imagine it in her head as Cecily carefully drew a picture on the table with her finger. Rinas face became increasingly stunned beyond surprise as Cecily sketched out her dress.

Furthermore, the surprised look on her face gave way to shock soon afterward, until Rina finally raised her head and stared at Cecily midway through her description. Her gaze was drawn to Cecilys voluptuous chest. Even in her normal attire, she exudes an overwhelming presence.

Rinas gaze shifted away from the girls chest and met Cecily. Cecilys expression was calm after she finished explaining.

Rina sighed and asked, Are you really going to wear something like that to a gathering?

Yes. Is there a problem?

No. Theres no problem Rina was at a loss as to how to explain this. The appearance of the dress Cecily described was obviously plain and simple to a certain degree. Thats for sure. But the problem is that its too simple.

Rina asked her in a voice of concern, Wouldnt that be too revealing?

Cecilys answer was even more spectacular. Wont I be racy no matter what Im wearing?

Rina was stunned by the direct response. Like she just said, Cecily with that body of hers would look seductive no matter what dress she wore. However, the dress Cecily was going to wear was so outlandish that it could be described as unconventional.

Anyway, its a bit isnt it? Its too revealing

I know what Rina is worried about. But you dont have to worry. I can tolerate this much. More than anything Cecily paused for a moment before giving off her signature mischievous smile. ..Its also because I am looking forward to seeing what kind of reaction a certain someone will show.
