Jihye, what is this brown pouch and this thin white rod?
Ah, this is a pencil case, and this is a frixion, um... Erasable fountain pen! Its an item that has the latest technology of our world incorporated in it!
Wow! Can I try it?!
Jeon Ji-hye nodded her head at her classmates curious request.
Her na was Sophie Magna.
She was an Awakener of the [Tree] Attribute, and a new friend of hers who had joined the sorcery club at the sa ti as her.
They were able to quickly beco friends thanks to the coincidence of them being among the newest entrants of the club and with them both being commoner won.
The two were currently studying and absorbing the content from a book containing the basics of witchcraft in the club room.
This was a task that had to be completed once once beca a new mber of the club.
Jeon Ji-hye recalled her first day in this other world, as she watched Sophie marvelling at the zipper on her pencil case and the interchangeable chanical pencil lead.
The day that she was summoned to the academy forest, she had burned her bag with a lighter to light a protective fla, which doubled as a bonfire, but kept her pencil case stored away safely in her pocket because these writing utensils were her precious treasures.
There were two reasons for that:
One was a perfectly normal reason, while the other was a bit perverted.
Of them, the normal reason was that this had been Jihoos birthday present to her!
Haa... Today is finally over!
Eh, theres still so left though? Oh, you said that you had a prior appointnt today, right?
Mhm, a dinner appointnt. Sophie, see you tomorrow!
Jeon Ji-hye quickly tidied up her desk and headed for the exit.
A male mber approached her as if trying to divert her from her appointnt, but she picked up the pace at the sight of him coming closer in the corner of her vision.
Hah. Annoying bastards.
Whether it was because of her lustrous appearance or because of her [Death] Attribute, the number of n who wanted to talk to her even once had only gone up with each passing day.
Of course, she had no interest in any of them, and there was no way that Jihoo would like them, so she minimised her contact with them.
However, sotis she was forced to engage in conversation with them.
Just like right now.
Oh, Jihye, where are you going? Have you had dinner yet? Would you like to eat with ?
This was what the man she t at the entrance of the club room asked her.
He was the head of the sorcery club, called Jamie Cursreal, with the [Poison] Attribute.
Jeon Ji-hye hated this man.
As soon as he learned of the fact that she was of the [Death] Attribute, the look in his eyes changed blatantly and he began to stare at her from then on.
Hello, senior. Im going to have dinner with Jihoo right now. Just the two of us. Bye bye then.
She not-so-discreetly emphasised the fact that it would be two of them alone.
And she hid the fact that they were going to eat as a group with their classmates, and not just the two of them.
In this way, she frequently inford him that there was a wonderful man nad Jung Ji-hoo in her life, but he would not give up approaching her whenever he saw her.
The fact that club seniors and juniors didnt have to associate too much was a comforting fact.
If his annoying behaviour continued in the future, she would consider leaving the club.
Ok. See you next ti!
Without responding to his farewells, and without even turning her head, Jeon Ji-hye fell into step.
She endeavoured to do sorcery on her eyeballs so they would only have Jihoos face in mind as soon as possible.

[Official letter from the Departnt of Public Security]
[Notice to the entire Academy]
Subject:Regarding the recent escalation of theft within the Imperial Capital and Academy
How are you, dear students?
Im Adele Griff, Vice-President of the Academys Public Security Departnt.
Recently, thefts within the ecliptic have suddenly beco more frequent.
Most of them are cases of pickpocketing, even within the academy grounds.
Currently, the Imperial Security Departnt is doing its best to identify the cause and arrest the criminal.
On this matter, I ask students to take this as a reminder to keep your belongings and valuables close anyti, anywhere.
Also, those who have been robbed should imdiately report it to the Imperial City Security Departnt and the Academys Public Security Departnt.
In the future, the Departnt of Public Security will work with the Departnt of Public Security in the Imperial City to focus its efforts on eradicating such petty cri.
Thank you.
Adele Griff
[Academy Public Security Departnt Vice President]
...Wasnt that supposed to be a lie?
I muttered as I read the notice in the mailbox of my room.
A while ago, on the way back from the research centre to the dormitory, I encountered a security check.
I had been inford of the purpose of the inspection on the spot
Ah, haha... Its just a regular checkup. Yes, haha, a regular checkup. Pickpocketing is common these days. Well, thatll be all.
I had thought that his answer was a lie to hide the real reason he was inspecting us- to check for the unknown being that had broken through the barrier.
However, looking at the letter in my hand, it appeared that pickpocketing had also beco a frequent issue in the ecliptic recently.
But why would those magic power detection tools be necessary to arrest a pickpocket...?
Since this was a different world, it wouldnt be strange if there was magic which specialised in theft or pickpocketing.
If so, did the Imperial Security Departnt expect the culprit to be so passing archmage?
Or, while searching for the Celestial Dragon, it may have been the case that the ecliptic was on high alert these days because of this and that, so everyone who was even the slightest bit suspicious was questioned.
Well, its sothing that has nothing to do with .
I am quite sensitive to the space around because of my attribute.
If I just reduced the number of belongings I take with when I went out and paid attention to my bag and pockets, there would be no problem.
The na of the author of the notice drew more attention than the actual content of the notice.
Adele Griff, Vice-President of the Academys Public Security Departnt.
I once t her with Hye-rin at the academy banquet.
She was a blue-haired beauty, who ca from the Griff family that ruled the northern part of the western continent.
She was the princess of the Griff family and had the sa status as Prince Nicholas Bondrania.
That is, they were both royalty.
The leadership roles in the academy with self-governance that had the authority to exercise influence over other nobles was not sothing that just about anyone could do.
The Student Union Departnt and the Public Security Departnt were typical examples of groups that had the authority to direct nobles.
These administrations, like the student council, were mainly run by royalty, such as the 2nd Prince Dave, and the security departnt was also run by royalty, such as senior Adele.
Each had a complete appointnt system, and of course, there was no voting in anyone such as for the student president election.
This was naturally an academy with a strict identity and class system in place.
