The new semester was right around the corner.


Whether as a student in the past or now…


If I had to pick the most important thing while preparing for a new semester.


It was, of course, course registration.


The academy was focused on educating Rune Holders, but the system itself was similar to a university.


Naturally, if there were lectures I wanted to take, I had to register online and get a seat.


“Ugghh- sleepy….”


8 AM in the morning.


Like any other student, I went to a PC cafe to get ready for course registration.


And next to me was a man with messy hair.


Park Jin-woo sat there with a drained expression from exhaustion.


“So you’re here to register for courses too.”


“Ohh… so sleepy. This is normally my sleeping time….”


“What about morning training?”


“Usually… 9 AM… uhmm…”


Course registration this time was pushed back about a week compared to normal.


The reason was, of course, Yoo Eun-seol.


Due to the ultra-special lecturer being recruited late, some time was needed to open lectures.


That’s why course registration was only starting now, 2 weeks before the semester began.


“I’m nervous.”


“What are you nervous about?”


“What if I can’t get a seat? The competition ratio for Ms. Yoo Eun-seol’s lecture will be insane.”


The lectures I planned to register for this semester were 6.


General courses <Application of Magic Control> and <Harvesting Byproducts>.


Warrior-type major courses <One-handed Sword and Shield Usage>, <Understanding Two-handed Swords>, <Enjoy Getting Hit>.


And finally, the assassin-type major course which was…


The only lecture by Yoo Eun-seol opened this semester, <Dagger Usage and Sword Techniques>.


I chose those six courses because I needed them all, but Yoo Eun-seol’s lecture was especially important.


It was a chance to improve my dagger skills which had stagnated to the point of regression, and a lecture taught by an S-grade Holder.


Even if I failed the others, I absolutely had to succeed in getting this one.


But Jin-woo, who was listening to me, tilted his head.


“Why are you taking Yoo Eun-seol’s lecture? You’re in the warrior class.”


“What are you talking about? I entered as an assassin.”


“That’s not the assassin I know…!!”


Ignoring Jin-woo who suddenly fell into despair alone.


I focused on the course registration page on the screen.


The lectures were already reserved.


All I had to do was click the registration buttons 6 times when it was time.


“Phew….”


I don’t know why course registration is so nerve-wracking every time.


I took a deep breath and stared at the screen.


Before I realized, the time raced towards 9 AM.


8:57, 58, 59…


As the minutes ended and it flipped to seconds,


[09:00]


The alarm for the hour rang, and hellish course registration began.


And…


[Dagger Usage and Sword Techniques (Yoo Eun-seol) : (0/0/0)]


“What the fuck, no way?”


As expected, I failed spectacularly.


Refreshing right at 9 AM allowed me to avoid the hellish waitlist, but…


The moment I clicked “registration”, the seats were gone in less than a second.


Damn it.


Is everyone using a supercomputer?


How is it so freaking fast?


Fortunately, I didn’t panic and finished registering for the remaining courses, but I felt frustrated after missing the most important lecture.


“Sigh….”


“Give up. It feels nice to give up.”


Park Jin-woo, who gave that consolation-like advice, was finally starting to look for lectures to register one by one, opening his sleepy eyes.


“What are you doing?”


“What do you mean ? Looking for lectures.”


“You didn’t reserve them in advance?”


“When did I ever?”


Wow.


He came to register without reserving lectures in advance.


This bastard. If I didn’t tell him yesterday, he probably wouldn’t have even known today was registration day.


“Ah… I need to find another lecture.”


There was still the method of waiting for someone else to cancel and open up a seat.


Whenever someone vacated a spot, a seat would open up.


But there was no way that stroke of luck would happen for Yoo Eun-seol’s lecture.


What crazy dude would cancel registration for the S-grade Holder’s lecture that might be the last?


The possibility was zero.


“Tch.”


Just as I was about to give up and look for another lecture,josei


Buzz-


I got a text from an unknown number.


[010-… ] This is Yoo Eun-seol. If you tried to register for my lecture but failed, give me a call. I’ll open up a seat at the right time.


Only then did I remember the obvious fact I had forgotten.


That’s right.


She came to the academy because of me.
