At the same time, a guide line message appeared.

["Conquered the ‘Masquerade of Temptation!"]

[The story of the Duchess Aeron, who wanted to gain the world's greatest beauty and popularity, has come to an end like this.]

The world began to fold in on itself.

NPCs turned into smoke and scattered, objects turned into dust and disappeared.

Even amidst that, the players couldn't even think of standing up.

"Ah...uh...."

Someone sat down in their place, while someone else blankly stared into the empty space.

The transformation of their fellow student into a dark mage and the betrayal….

The shock had not yet subsided.

Amidst all that, only one person moved, Hong Bi-Yeon.

Instead of heading towards the entrance with the clock tower stairs, she glanced back and said, "How long are you going to sit like that? Pathetic. There will be rewards behind the stage. Make sure to take them with you."

Then, without realizing it, the students noticed a door located behind the stage.

Since they had cleared the final stage, there would be various rewards, including the "Magic Stone," in that place.

Erna, while blankly staring at Hong Bi-Yeon’s back, realized something with a question mark in her mind.

Her legs were trembling as she walked.

"No way..."

She finally realized.

She also wanted to sit down in that situation, and she was still unable to recover from the shock, but she pretended as if nothing was wrong, as if she didn't crumble, as if she was strong.

She was acting tough.

Someone had to be a support for others to be able to stand up.

‘Was that it...?'

Edna, belatedly, also regained her senses and struggled to stand up.

In the end, Hong Bi-Yeon’s words were right.

She never thought that Jecky would ask for forgiveness.

So, wasn't she already prepared with magic to restrain her limbs?

Hong Bi-Yeon knew that they couldn’t trust Jecky and would prepare magic, so she deliberately left an opening.

She had a sharp understanding of human psychology and knew how to manipulate and exploit it... Truly a disgustingly dirty personality.

But at the same time, she had a selfish yet altruistic nature, willing to shoulder everything.

Suddenly, such thoughts swirled in Edna’s mind.

Perhaps... Maybe it was a misunderstanding caused by relying too much on knowledge from the original romance novels about the character named Hong Bi-Yeon.

"A-6 Team, the training is over, and the students have come out."

"Evacuate them."

"B-3 Team's practice is also over."

In the Stella Dome, there were dozens of Persona Gates formed, but they were all fake, allowing professors to intervene at any time without danger.

Except for one gate.

Out of nowhere, a Persona Gate of Danger Level 5 appeared in the heart of Stella Academy. In preparation for that, the current Stella Knights and professors were firmly armed, ready and waiting.
