“So, that’s the kind of Academy this is, huh?” began Nora with furrowed brows, folded arms, and a tone as hot as molten iron pulled out of a furnace. “Because the president’s grandson isn’t here, everyone else has to wait? What next? He tries to assert control over us and we can’t tell him off or we get expelled?” Merlin wanted to hammer his elbow into the side of Nora’s stomach again, but he couldn’t help but have the same thoughts as her. Kim Yiseo, on the other hand, looked like she didn't care in the slightest about that. She took her luggage from her chauffeur as he closed the boot of the car, and didn’t even look at them as she replied, “If that’s what it is, then so be it.” Nora gnashed her teeth together. “What an absurd way to think. People like you disgust me. I knew we shouldn’t have ridden in her car, Merlin. Walking all the way here would have been far more preferable.” She did not sugarcoat her displeasure. “I can’t stand looking at her for one more second. Let’s go.” “That’s life,” Kim Yiseo added as Nora turned around. “Life is favoritism. What don’t you understand? Some will be sheltered more than others. It’s normal. You must have been favored over others in some way as well.” Nora clicked her tongue so loudly that Merlin was half-certain that every person present in the parking lot had heard. “Don’t talk about me like you know who I am,” she hissed at Kim Yiseo. “I’ve never been coddled. I made sure I never was. I’ve heard enough. I’m leaving.” She left. Merlin waited. “What?” Kim Yiseo turned to him—finally. He had been a ghost to her all through their conversation, but now she saw him. “Do you have anything to say?” She had a furious gaze. It had all gotten heated quickly. This instance was why he disliked having such conversations. He sighed. “Don’t take my sister’s words personally. She’s like that—always having the right things to say, but never the best way to put them.” Kim Yiseo only stared at him—silent. Her chauffeur was yet to enter into the car, choosing to watch them until they were done instead. “Well, that’s all,” Merlin added with a fluster. They were looking at him like he was a madman. “I hope we squash any hard feelings and become friends. Things are a lot easier that way.” He turned around and hurried away from the parking lot. Kim Yiseo sighed when Merlin was out of her sight. She then clutched the handle of her luggage tightly, peering down at it solemnly for a moment. “Young miss,” the driver called. “It’s fine, Sir Han,” Kim Yiseo pursed her lips and moved forward. “Make sure their things are brought with haste. Please.” “Will do, young miss.” And with that he got into the car and drove off. Merlin had never been an advocate for favoritism, but Nora, in particular, loathed it. She was always of the mind that if one was to do something, then they ought to do it right—no hand outs. However, Merlin couldn’t be as mad as her now, could he? Being the president’s grandson was a perk only a few people could be born with, and with it came its benefits, just like his situation with the System. He couldn’t help but think that other Deficient Mages would act the way Nora was to Kim Yiseo to him if they found out that he had only managed to achieve what they couldn’t because he’d been lucky to read a particular novel. What had happened to him could happen to anyone. So, basically, he too had been favored over others. Kim Yiseo was right. Everyone got favored in some way. And Nora might not know it, but she too was favored indirectly due to him receiving the System. There were some things about spell casting that she wouldn’t have known if she hadn’t had a geek as a brother. But telling her that with how furious she looked was only going to bring a certain kind of inconvenience he didn’t want his way. She never went angry for long, though; it was only a matter of time before she cooled off. So, instead of dwelling on such moody thoughts, he let his eyes peruse the sea of students clustered before
