Chapter 3: 3

Pyeol couldn’t forget the shocking sight for a very long time.

Kiana, who was sitting in the middle of the memo pads on the wall with her glasses on, with a worried expression.

… Honestly, that sounds like madness, not hard work.

“Lets go.”

While her lovely pink hair was scattered, her light green eyes were sparkling, which made it all the more bizarre.

The checkered pattern that was plastered from her hair tie to her slippers looked rather creepy.

“Let’s squeeze every single brain cell together. Do your best.”

<I can’t remember the details…>

“Try it. If you try, you can remember everything.”

I knew Kiana was kind of weird, but she was even the weirdest person trying… 

Pyeol began flapping her wings desperately.

<Now, now, wait! wait! there, there are other ways!>

* * *

As a result, Pyeol didn’t have to suffer from me for days.

<There’s a better way, Kiana! I’ll transfer my memory right away! Summons can deliver what they see to their owners!>

Pyeoly shook her head and murmured.

<If you’re swept away by that madness, you’ll be locked in this room until your throat explodes, and you’ll have to talk nonstop for two weeks…>

Pyeol jumped on top of my head and closed my eyes. At the same time, stories from after I left for the academy flooded in.

“Hey.”

I said low.

“You said you would pass on what you saw, why text format? It’s like…”

I added dissatisfiedly, capturing the text floating around in my head.

“It looks like I am reading a book where Melissa is the main character”

I felt like I was going crazy because Melissa was the main character, a third-person observer point of view.

She replied with a startled Pyeol.

<Oh, I can’t help it. I was Melissa’s pet, so I could only see and hear from her side.>

“Hmm.”

<And in fact, the perfect summoning didn’t happen between Kiana and me… It can only be delivered in this form.>

I sighed deeply and rolled my eyes.

‘This is the only way…’

It was like reading a novel. It’s also a love story…

“I knew Melissa was popular with the guys, but she was amazing, really ….”

After I left, Melissa was loved and obsessed with by many men.

‘I thought she would get engaged to Rodrigo right away after I left, but she dragged on and put all the arrogant men into her fishery?’

I muttered with a tired face.

“Is she only interested in love? Why is it all like this? Isn’t this a complete reverse harem romance novel?”

The story is a romance novel, but it was also just a feast at the fishing grounds.

Of course, if this was a novel, it was a novel with an overly novel and unique ending. One of the fish that was forcibly released from the fishery destroys the family, killing them all…

And not because of love, but just for political reasons… 

‘But Melissa really will live this life in the opposite way.’

A priestess can’t even marry, let alone fall in love.

Anyway, I wasn’t interested in Melissa’s love story or anything, so I kind of passed that part off with a blurry eye.

Of course, there were scenes where I was mentioned at the academy from time to time. My name was always mentioned in the lines that all the men comforted by saying, “Poor Melissa.”

The villain who haunted Melissa throughout her childhood and her mean cousin driven mad by her jealousy.

“I’m so glad Princess Kiana left. If the villainess had stayed in the Empire, it would have been even more difficult for Melissa…”

“Princess Melissa, the wound she received from Princess Kiana in her childhood and her pain… I will heal them all.”

“Didn’t the villainess torment Princess Melissa very much? It is a pity that she is far away and I cannot challenge her to a duel.”

Well, I was in a bad mood, but that wasn’t the point right now.

I read through the occasional, bold incidents that occurred in the imperial capital. In particular, attention was paid to the moments when the Prelai duchy was accused of treason and engulfed in tragedy at the last minute.

‘These are things that will happen in the future, so the future… No, since these events actually happened, should we put them in the past? What should I call it?’

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to call the information Pyeol gave me the ‘original work’. Being able to chew over and over again in the form of sentences was like reading a book.

I feel a bit bad that the main character is Melissa, but anyway, I’ve been digging out information from the ‘original’ that might be helpful to me for a while.

“Hmm.”

I was immersed in my thoughts for a long time, and only woke up when the sunset was setting.

<Kiana?>

“Now that it has come to this, out of 184 plans…”

I said resolutely, tearing off some sticky notes from the wall.

“I will go with a plan that combines the 57th and 122nd, the 111th and 121st, and the 181st and 182nd.”

<… yes?>

“Anyway, I am the only one who knows the future. Shouldn’t I make the move myself?”

<Uh, how?>

“I’m going back to the duke’s mansion right now.”

It was then.

Someone knocked in my dorm room and shouted loudly.

“Kiana, the admissions information session is starting soon! The dean asks you to come quickly! You must go and speak!”

The admissions briefing session was an event that the dean ambitiously prepared by gathering students and parents who were worried about entering the academy. It was because the tuition of the student was money.

And I would always give a brief lecture on the basics of magical engineering to the students at the entrance briefing.

It was because it was perfect to present him as a high-ranking aristocrat of the empire and a young genius making great achievements at the academy.

“Yes, I’ll go right now!”

I smiled and got up from my seat.

<Kiana? I heard you’re going back to the duke’s mansion!>

“Uh. I’m going back, but I’m going to pay the dean one thing back.”

<Wow.>

Pyeol murmured.

<I can’t believe I can already see the evilness of Kiana. I’m looking forward to it. Kiana is really good at things like that.>

* * *

The main auditorium of the academy was full of people for the first time in a long time.

It wasn’t common in a closed academy where outsiders were not allowed in.

The event was in full swing, and upon seeing me enter, the dean, who was standing at the podium, introduced me with a smile.

“Now then, let’s take a moment to listen to Princess Kiana Prelai’s brief lecture for our prospective freshmen.”

I proudly walked to the podium, stood next to the dean, and greeted him politely.

“Hello, this is Kiana Prelai. I am currently pursuing my PhD.”

I gave a simple lecture like this every year at the admissions briefing. And my lectures were so good that many students used to apply and go.

“Witchcraft is based on math and science, so let’s start with a few quick lectures on science.”

It was the same beginning every year. The dean smiled benevolently and patted my shoulder.

“Dr. Kiana, the pride of our academy and a disciple who is more important than my children, is very good at lecturing. You can look forward to it.”

I expected it, but the shoulder touched by the dean’s hand gave me goosebumps.

They handed me over to the imperial army, well, that can happen. Because the power of the empire is strong.

But at least you shouldn’t have laughed at the ‘patent’ in front of me being dragged away and  making me live like slave a in the academy, saying thati am are more precious than your own children.

The dean was a very bad guy who touched my weakest spot and used love and attention as a bait for me.

“Yes. You can look forward to my lecture.”

I grinned and shook the dean’s hand off my shoulder and began the lecture resoundingly.

“Science is very close to our daily life. for example…”

During the lecture, I picked up a water bottle prepared to drink if I was thirsty.

“This is gravity.”

Then, he picked up the water bottle and poured it over the dean’s head.

“Oh, oops! Fufufufu! Oh no, Kia….”

“You are in the middle of a lecture, dean. Please cooperate. So, look at everything. I will also show you the next one.”

I slapped the distraught dean on the cheek.

The crowd opened their mouths with a groan.

The dean squinted his eyes and shouted.

“What is this! It hurts!”

“Very good explanation, Dean. My hand hurts too. Now, this is the law of action and reaction.”

The audience all looked at us with faces asking, ‘Is this a lecture prepared?’. The academy officials also said, “This year, this is the kind of lecture. Interesting.’ He nodded his head admiringly.

“Well, objects do motion as they move.”

With a grin, I picked up the dean’s wig and threw it through the window.

“This is parabolic motion.”

Everyone who didn’t know about the wig’s existence opened their mouths.

In the meantime, the students sitting in the front gave the evaluation as if they were satisfied.

“Wow, this class is really fun!”

“The composition of the lecture is interesting”.

The dean, unable to do this or that, wiped the water running down his face with a bewildered expression.

“In this way, science is hidden in all phenomena, and at the academy, we study this law and process magic to create magic tools that are useful in real life. This is a strong adhesive that was patented not too long ago.”

I stuck a piece of paper with “garbage” written on it to the dean’s forehead.

“What, what, what, this!”

The dean screamed in disbelief.

“It’s so strong that it doesn’t come off easily without a special cleaner. You can make items that are not that great, but that have a small effect.”

I smiled and threw the magic tool on the floor and said to the crowd.

“But even if it was impressive, don’t come. I’m having a hard time. Then thank you for listening to my lecture so far.”

Then, I left the auditorium and boarded a carriage to the Empire.
