    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 simr 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 weekpared to normal.


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


    Due to the ultra-special lecturer being recruitedte, 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? Thepetition ratio for Ms. Yoo Eun-seol’s lecture will be insane.”


    The lectures I nned 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 seed 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 ss.”


    “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 rm 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 spectacrly.


    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 supeputer?


    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 constion-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 thest?


    The possibility was zero.


    “Tch.”


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


    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.
