Merlin decided to drop by the disciplinary committee’s office first thing in the morning before he made his way to class. Now, though, he wished he had reconsidered it before the door had flung open. Because he was in the room alone with the gloomy silver-haired and cloudy-eyed—but beautiful, make no mistake—Senior Sun-Hee. And she was staring at him like he had missed his way. “Good morning,” he waved at her, deciding to rip apart the stifling air. He was getting tired of it. However, she only turned away, returning to her seat to resume reading her comic book. Merlin’s lips twitched. There went trying to be amiable. He would have to visit Professor Jung to see if he could find a different teacher. This one was going to make him even more lost, it seemed. Merlin walked forward, the form he had filled in his hand. He did not have any intentions of returning during his lunch break or in the evening, since he wanted to use the former to go through his notes, and he had a library appointment with Nora for the latter, which was why he wanted to hand it over right this minute. “I don’t see President Sakamoto here,” Merlin said as he placed the form on the table. “If it’s not too much of a hassle, please let him know that I came.” Sun-Hee didn’t reply, only flipping to another page of her comic book and crossing her legs. Merlin took that as a positive answer. She didn’t say no, so she was saying yes. He nodded. “Thanks.” However, as he made his way towards the door, she said, “Professor Jung made a request to me.” Merlin turned around. She was still not looking at him, but there was obviously no one else she would be talking to, and regarding that particular topic too. “You need help with theory.” Merlin cleared his throat. “Yes, I do. I would be in your debt if you could help me.” Sun-Hee closed her comic book, folded her arms, and glanced his way. Merlin felt a cold shiver crawl down his spine. She was just as intimidating as the headmaster’s maid. Merlin had thought Nora was scary, but she did not hold a candle to either Sun-Hee or Maid Eun-Wol. They were the two he would have loved to avoid the most, but also the two he would have no choice but to meet with regularly. “Anti-magic. Show me,” Sun-Hee said in a tone that sounded more like a threat than a request. Merlin’s brows twitched at that. For one, he couldn’t just show her. It needed someone to cast a spell for him to be able to perform any kind of trick. Also, he was not of the mind to willingly subject himself to a world of pain this early in the morning. There was no way she was anything less than an A-Class Mage. His instincts had never been wrong. And, sure, he could deconstruct an A-Class Mage’s Novice, Tier I to III spells, but he had only tried that against Mages on, well, his caliber—if he was allowed to put it that way. He had never tried deconstructing the spells of a Mage on a different pedestal. He still wasn’t exactly certain how the System worked, but there was no way deconstructing a first year’s spell was the same as deconstructing a second year’s. Those two were from different worlds. On the bright side, though, it seemed she believed he really could use anti-magic now, probably because of Professor Jung. “I’m sorry, but I can’t.” Merlin bowed in apology as he apologized. Sun-Hee was silent for a few seconds. “Why?” He straightened. “First of all, to use anti-magic one has to cast a spell—” “That’s not a problem.” No. It definitely was. That was against the rule of the school, and they were meant to be enforcing that rule not going against it. What was wrong with this lady? “Secondly,” Merlin went on, not bothering to put his thoughts into words, “you’re probably an A-Class Mage. I’ll get injured if I use my anti-magic on your spells.” Merlin wasn’t exactly certain what her Class was, but he had no choice but to say something plausible so that she could leave him alone. He could have sworn that he saw her eyebrow twitch at those words though. Merlin grimac
