Ch. 105 - I Have A Girlfriend (1)

After turning in her 20s and facing society, Edna occasionally had such thoughts.

‘Ah, I want to go back to those days.’

Carefree days with friends, each day full of freedom during her school years.

Even the previous Edna had such thoughts.

Back then, she didn't know that she would really get to relive her school life. And that too, in a different world from Earth.

‘This is hell…’

There was a time in South Korea when all students had mandatory evening self-study, and Edna was also a student of that generation.

Looking back now, the evening study time seemed like a truly happy time.

‘What's so hard about just sitting and studying? This damn practical training. It'd be fine not to do these practicals!’

Stella's schedule pushed humans to their limits, leaving no room for even a little rest.

Of course, her being in Class S and perhaps having signed up for too many courses might be reasons too...

Anyway, after the Familiar Contract Ceremony, Edna was experiencing extreme challenges every day. Yet, she couldn't help but think about the future. Many things have changed from the original novel's story.

Nevertheless, the core storyline continued to unfold.

Among them, one of the biggest events that would happen in the future was undoubtedly the 'Dark Magic Corruption Incident' in the Seventh Tower.

But, even Edna didn’t know how that event would unfold.

Maizen Tyren, who was planning to occupy the Seventh Tower, died much earlier than expected.

‘But... the Dark Mages won't give up on it.’

The Dark Mages were causing continuous incidents in the magical society as if stating, ‘We are still barbarians who only know how to rampage recklessly.’

However, behind human’s backs, they were like serpents who were quietly sneaking into the magical society, and cunningly proceeded with their plans to devour the magical society.

There was something in the Seventh Tower, which compelled the ants out of their hideout.

In order to claim it, Maizen Tyren gave up his identity and occupied the place.

Although Maizen died earlier than planned, the Dark Mages wouldn’t give up the item.

They needed to prepare, but accessing the Seventh Tower was currently completely impossible.

It was not just a simple issue of the academy barring any access, but the tower itself was treated as mere rumors or legends.

So, even if someone were to shout, ‘There's going to be a Dark Mage attack on the Seventh Tower!,’ no one would believe it and might even consider it an embellishment of the legend.

‘But that's something for a bit later…’

Recently, she had some fun in practical magic training, but she was physically tired, while her mind remained energetic.

Magical combat training.

Honestly, she had no confidence in those training initially.

How often would she have to fight in my life?

Surprisingly, she realized she had a talent for strategy and tactics.

While she might not be able to brawl with her fists, she found it quite easy to read the psychological gaps in the opponent, anticipate their moves, and come up with even more advanced strategies.
