‘8/3 Huh? Since when has integration of multiple polynomials been this easy?’
As befitting of the nation’s top high school, the first years had to learn second year math, in class Math wasn’t hard for me in the first place, but now the formulas were drawn out lickety-split in my mind, and I was able to reach the answer in 1 second

No enius I was, I shouldn’t be able to solve an integration of multiple polynomials question in 1 second
‘What in the world is inside my mind?’
It wasn’t just lish, and in physics, which went considerably into specifics, I was ence I was able to tell that the English teacher’s drawling accent wasn’t the way American white people spoke, but the characteristic accent of black people, and I even discovered some enormous errors in the formulas of my physics textbook

If I had been at least a college student, Ms Lee Ji-hae would have been orth trying for with my life on the line

Glea white teeth were revealed the mouiling fragrance of a wonited a fire in my spirit
“There is a fa invite hardshi+p, after all The recent Europe trip was a fruitful experience that gave ifts”
“Lessons and gifts? That’s right, there’s sorew a lot while he ay, didn’t he”
Brush, brush At the happiness of having found a student to be proud of, Ms Lee Ji-hae brushed ht that if I were to make an appearance on ‘TV is the Vehicle of Love’ later in my life, I would definitely seek Ms Lee Ji-hae

With the noisy ringing of the 4th period ending bell, Ms Lee Ji-hae returned to her lectern
“Stand! Bow!”
“Thank you very much”
“Alright, have a good lunch”
Leaving behind a loving s the attendance log and her teaching materials with her delicate arms
My regrettable crush ended with that
“Joong Hyun, let’s go!”

‘What was the spell for Haste ain?’
I thought of Haste ht, the ic incantation naturally came to mind
‘Mana! I have to hurry and expand my circle!’
Because of the squire in my head, the still insufficient circle and mana felt like enemies to me
“Father, Mother, are you not going on a vacation abroad this year?”
“A vacation? I want to go, but… the stock values are turbulent these days, you see”
“It’s such a shame Why is the stock market like this when I’m on sabbatical, really”
As I ate ht up the topic of an overseas vacation
‘I’ll be able to train ic without worries only if my parents are away’
I was in a hurry due to the countless pieces of e that popped out pell-mell in my mind But because ofin to check for wholeso
“Honey, please quit being a fund h up ’till now, and I also have a stable inco another job”
My mother was as sharp as a knife to her son, but to my father, she was an incredibly kind wife and friend
“I want to, but… we still have to send Hyuk to college, and…”
“F-father! Haha! Your Kili aboutlike this— you orked hard to raise your child, enjoy your middle years~!”
“Then shall we do that? After looking at only graphs for a year,tired”
My father liked to eat and play as ement roused his interest

Ever the one to follow her husband’s wishes, as soon as hteningly quick to start planning the vacation
‘Ni ~ ice!’
A cheer burst out inside of me Now, I had to hammer in the nail
“How about a 6 week cruise? I heard that a luxury 7-star cruise shi+p touring the entire world, including Europe and Africa, is docking in Busan Harbor soon Since you’re going on a vacation, you et Especially because Father and Mother have maintained the youth and love of 20 year old needs, this son of yours is actively reco this cruise”
If I was going to send them off, then it was best to send them far away, and on an extensive cruise they couldn’t just come back from whenever they wanted, at that
“Oh! Now that you bring it up, going on a cruise is an option, isn’t it?”
For now, Mother reement
“B-but I heard that the cost per person exceeds several thousand dollars… isn’t that too excessive for us?”
He was teed head of the lion pride couldn’t help but worry
“Please go! This son of yours will make it happen!”
“What? You will, Hyuk?”
As soon as I said it, my parents were extremely surprised
They didn’t know That the only unlimited withdrawal card in the world was in the hands of their son, a man as wealthy as an emperor
“Here are the tickets I’ve arranged for a suite in your names There, you’ll be able to see the broad ocean any time you want The departure date is Saturday of next week”
I pushed the envelope holding the gilded tickets towards them
“You…”
Having overco at me with serious expressions on their faces
“Hyuk…”
My father said my name quietly
‘I hope it goes over well’
My father’s call orrisome It was reasonable, to be honest What kind of parent would nonchalantly accept vacation tickets that cost thousands, no, ten thousand dollars, fro son?
I gulped nervously If they asked otten theto say How could I say that I had becoe; bumdalf, who’d coifted with an immense fortune?
But my father’s next words dispelled my worries
“You don’t have any pocket money for us?”
‘Father…’
I sighed deeply as I looked at our family motto of ‘truth,’ which was displayed for all to see on the living room wall I was reminded of one of the additional lines that were related to ‘truth’
‘When you take, take it all And be extreiver That is truly a reflection of your true feelings’
And my parents were all too truthful, even to their one and only son
“You won the Lotto, right?”
“Since he begged in Europe,like that?”
[T/N: Hyuk’s mom mistakenly thinks that the Superbowl is a European lottery Obviously, it is not Lotto is a South Korean lottery]
“As expected of our son!”
“Hoho! Hyuk, give us lots”
It was as Even if they were to meet Master bumdalf, they probably wouldn’t even be fazed They were already busy checking the tickets I had handed over as they cheered happily

Money was like poison if picked up by those without aic incantations were exactly the saes who couldn’t raise their circle
Magic really did exist

‘But why doesn’t this bracelet come off?’
The silver bracelet that had been Master’s bait

‘Time is ti my arm?!’
Since it was a foreboding object given toit off with soap, but the silver bracelet wouldn’t budge, as if it had become a part of my arm It was extremely worrisome
‘Surely nothing will happen, right? It’s just a bracelet’
When I looked at the bracelet, soure was too difficult for nore it

‘Should I give her a call?’
Yesterday, there was a sudden downpour in the afternoon, even though it was Septeht an u forat the falling rain
As the raindrops splashed onto the school yard, I saw so that I hadn’t known of at all before— each trivial raindrop held clear and pure energy
Like the perfor with mana
Pitter, patter, pit-pat
While looking at the falling rain, the mana inside of me was also joyful and danced about
Just then, she appeared
“It’s refreshi+ng, right? I like the rain”
The girl endlessly staring at the falling rain by rance that reminded me of yellow autumn chrysanthemums rode the misty air, and burrowed into my nose
“Once in a while, I like to get rained on, a bit”
Fwoosh!+
Without even asking for my opinion, Seo Ye-rin unfurled an uh ere inside the school, she surreally took ht up by her bold action, I was able to walk down the school road under the pouring rain The rain fell on both of our shoulders at the edge of the u tons of jealousy from all the kids, at that

After walking for a while like that, Ye-rin left her umbrella and cellphone number with me
010-99xx-1179
I turned on the cutting-edge cell phone I’d gotten a few days ago and punched in the nuiven me
Riiing, riiing, riiing
‘She’s not picking up?’
The tone rang for a long time, but I couldn’t hear anyone’s voice on the other side

“Mm Hi, Hyuk”
After telling her h it seemed that she had just woken up
“The weather’s good today and all, so do you want to meet up?”
“Hoho Are you asking for a date?”
‘Geh, a date’
Her question was directed to me; someone who’d never had a date before in his life, thanks to the safari wilderness siame
“TheSeo Ye-rin for a date You’ll accept, right?”
I had a good feeling from Ye-rin’s voice
“… If it’s you, Hyuk, then I’ll say yes any time”
After a brief silence, I heard her say yes My heart thuan to race
‘Ohh~!!’
Truly, ed the day Ihappiness and made an appointment with her
“Since it’s one o’clock right now, let’s no at three”
[T/N: A fae Street]
“Daehangno? Okay I’ll see you later”
“Alright, see you later Come all prettied up”
“Haha, for whose benefit? I’ up, okay?”
Beep, beep, beep
I had no idea what kind of audacitylike ‘come all prettied up’ to Ye-rin
‘D-date, a date! That’s right, a date!’
I grasped the hung up phone as s quaked within my body
“Wait a sec? Now that I look at it, I don’t have anything to wear! Gaaaah!”
For the sake of growing up strong, besides two sets of my uniform, I had no newly purchased clothes My parents were hyenas who had shown regret, despite strippingfor their cruise vacation The only “clothes” I had received froh school was my own panther leather-like skin

“Please ring me up”
I was on the way to el I didn’t have time to be resentful about the world’s heartlessness
“Oh,it, too”
Without even any thoughts of ringing me up, the shop lady held up the platinum card I had pushed towards her and made a fuss
“This is the rumored platinum card?”
“I heard only billionaires and famous actors use it…”
The shop ladies who had gathered at the mention of a platinum card looked at the card and me with fascinated eyes
