Avoid the Yandere Goddess

Why did he specifically choose me first?

Although I was sitting in the front row, there were also Sion and Skaya next to me.

‘…… Could it be because he’s jealous?’

As I was thinking this,

[The goddess of Fate says that the Grand Sage is jealous of you, so he definitely called you first.]

The constellation sent me a message as if she had read my thoughts.

Yes, I had a feeling it was something like that.

The Grand Sage in front of us may or may not be a pervert, but he has one particular setting.

That is none other than…

‘He has never had a romantic relationship, let alone a sexual one.’

Looking at his face, he has quite a few wrinkles.

Despite being the Grand Sage, he should have a lot of mana, but the fact that he has wrinkles suggests that he is much older than we can imagine.

For such a person to have never had a romantic relationship,

‘In a different sense, he is the Grand Sage.’

He is called the Grand Sage not only because he is the strongest magician on the continent at this moment,

But also because he has a different meaning in the settings.

Anyway, he has never had a relationship with a woman.

So it’s only natural that he would be jealous of me, sitting between two pretty women.

‘Considering he’s been single for over 100 years…’

It’s not that I don’t understand.

Just look at him now.

He’s looking at me with such an envious gaze.

It makes me wonder if he’s really the Grand Sage.

‘But I don’t understand why he’s never had a relationship.’

The Grand Sage in front of us must have had exceptional wealth and power.

It’s not easy for such a person to have never had a romantic relationship in this world, unless they’re a fool.

As I was thinking this, I walked up to the podium.

I approached Makarov and asked,

“Which magic should I demonstrate?”

“Show me something you’re confident in. I’ll point out your shortcomings based on that.”

Makarov smiled confidently, stroking his beard.

I nodded at his words and used the magic I was most familiar with.

“Physical Enhancement.”

The lowest-level magic, Physical Enhancement.

Usually, magicians don’t use it because their physical abilities and stamina are lacking.

However, unlike them, I have the same physical abilities as ordinary knights, so I use it frequently.

-Whoosh!

A clear, transparent blue mana emanated from my body.

The Grand Sage next to me was genuinely surprised.

“What, what?!”

[The goddess of Fate sees the Grand Sage’s reaction and snorts. Ahem!]

No, why are you proud of that?

It’s true that it’s because of the black history of the elixir he created, but if anyone saw it, they might think he personally brought it and fed it to me.

I ignored the reactions of the two guys and slowly calmed the mana that was being released.

-Whoosh!

Unlike the usual Physical Enhancement, the mana slowly permeated his body.

It felt like the mana and I had become one.

Before long, I had completely finished the Physical Enhancement.

“I’m done, Grand Sage.”

“Oh, um… yes…”

Makarov was a little shocked by my Physical Enhancement.

It was probably the first time he had seen my way of Physical Enhancement.

He examined my Physical Enhancement and then said seriously,

“There’s nothing to criticize. You’re the first magician I’ve seen who has perfected Physical Enhancement like this. Can you show me another magic?”

“Yes, I understand.”

I unexpectedly received praise from the Grand Sage.

I glanced around the classroom at the students and then looked at Skaya, smiling to myself.

Most of the students in the classroom looked at me with envious eyes, but Skaya,

“Hmm~”

She had a look on her face as if to say that her disciple was this amazing.

Well, to be honest, I can’t argue with Skaya’s expression.

Thanks to her help, I was able to use Physical Enhancement perfectly.

The excruciating pain was an added bonus.

Anyway, ignoring the reactions of those around me, I wondered what magic I should use next.

-Spell Explosion.

Skaya mouthed the words to me, and I nodded.

I imagined the Spell Explosion from the game.

Blue mana flowed rapidly through the circuit.

-Whoosh!

Mana emanated from my body, and

-Woong!

A slightly complex spell appeared in my palm.

The spell gradually took shape.

I concentrated as much as possible to ensure that the spell didn’t get tangled.

I quietly recited the incantation.

Before long, only the last incantation remained.

I recited the final incantation and tightly clenched my hand.

“……”

It didn’t explode right away.

“……?”

All the students, except Skaya, tilted their heads in confusion.

From their perspective, it seemed like a failure.

But,

-Woong!

The spell gradually contracted.

Then,

-Whoosh!

A clear blue mana emanated.

The Grand Sage was surprised, but quickly cast a barrier.

-Woong!

The magic I activated didn’t explode.

It simply,

-Ssss.

Turned the nearby chair into dust.

“……”

“……”

An awkward silence filled the classroom.

The Grand Sage looked at me with a serious expression and then closed his eyes.

Then,

“You. Can you come with Skaya after this?”

He was the first to break the silence.

I was suddenly scouted.

It’s not surprising that he did this.

When I demonstrated it in front of Skaya, she was so surprised that she hugged me tightly, even though she usually didn’t like physical contact.

Considering Skaya’s reaction, my Spell Explosion must be quite special.

Of course, I had only imagined the description and image of the skill from the game.

“Yes, I’ll go with Skaya after this.”

“Good. You did well. There’s nothing to feedback, so please take your seat.”

As I nodded and walked towards my seat,

“Wow. So jealous.”

“I want to be scouted too.”

“Agreed. So jealous.”

The students around me whispered and looked at me with envious eyes.

I tried to ignore their gazes and sat down in my seat.

Skaya looked at me with pride, as if she was proud of me.

Then she elbowed my side and said,

“Well done. You’re still my first disciple.”

“No, He’s my disciple.”

Sion denied Skaya’s words, cutting her off.

“Let’s just say he has two Master.”

She drew a clear line and turned her gaze to Makarov.

He looked at me with envious eyes and then called the next student.

“Next student, please.”

.

.

.

After Kaine’s turn, many people took turns demonstrating their magic on the podium, and most of them received feedback, unlike Kaine.

Of course, Skaya and Sion did not receive any feedback.

The former was because the Grand Sage had nothing to point out, and the latter,

“Professor, you don’t need to come out.”

“Hing.”

This was because they had already realized that Sion was a professor.

Well, I expected that.

Considering the Grand Sage’s experience, it would be strange if he didn’t notice.

‘If he didn’t notice, that would be strange in itself.’

Thus ended Makarov’s second lecture.

The students left the classroom.

“You two, follow me.”

The two nodded and followed him.

In fact, the reason Kaine nodded to the Grand Sage’s proposal was none other than,

‘Because of the hidden skill.’

In this game, played from Kim Soo-yong’s perspective, magic itself is unnecessary.

His power is aura.

However, there is a reason for this hidden quest.

‘Because of the cash shop.’

It’s not for nothing that they say money can do anything.

In the cash shop, you can even buy the talent to use magic.

Of course, there’s the drawback that it costs a lot of real money.

‘The important thing is that you can obtain the ability to use mana.’

If you have mana, you can use magic.

So it’s not strange to have such a hidden skill.

The reason magic skills exist in the game is also because of this.

‘Now that I think about it, it’s clear that the developers wanted to make money.’

That’s because it’s impossible for a free-to-play user to make Kim Soo-yong a magician.

The developers blatantly induced users to spend money.

And one of those users is…

‘Me, damn it.’

The developers are quite annoying.

Not only did they give me a bad ending with a heart attack, but they also induced me to spend money?

If I ever get the chance to go back to the original world, I’ll punch the developers in the face.

As I was cursing the developers in my mind,

“This should be enough.”

We finally arrived at our destination.

‘Hmm. It’s the training ground.’

Kaine turned his gaze to Skaya.

She shrugged casually.

‘From her reaction, it seems she was here earlier.’

As Kaine was thinking this, Makarov turned his head towards him.

“Earlier, I didn’t have enough time to see all your magic. I also need to observe the other students’ magic.”

“Yes.”

“So, show me the magic you can do here. Then I can tell you the magic that suits you. And I need to confirm if you two can use it.”

As expected…

He called them for the reason of teaching them the hidden skill.

A man who has been a virgin for over 100 years.

A Grand Sage who has never had a romantic relationship.

But a man who is sincere about magic.

I realized anew that he is sincere when it comes to magic.

‘But what about you two?’

I had a bad feeling about them.

That’s because Makarov had an expectant look on his face.

Like a child waiting for Santa Claus.

An old man with a white beard having such an expression,

‘I want to pluck all his beard.’

His face, on the other hand, looks like Santa Claus.

Anyway, I can’t really pluck out his beard, so I just nodded.

It doesn’t seem like there will be any harm anyway.

“Yes, I understand. Then let’s start right away.”

With those words, Kaine began to activate the magic he knew one by one.

.

.

.

Makarov watched Kaine’s magic with his arms crossed, and although he didn’t show it outwardly,

‘Amazing! This is!’

He was quite… no, very surprised by Kaine’s magic.

Kaine’s magic was too perfect.

Of course, if Makarov activated the same magic, it would have a greater power.

But the reason for his surprise was not the power, but the efficiency.

The power was far greater than the amount of mana consumed.

‘Even I couldn’t do this.’

And it’s not just because of this.

Kaine’s mana was too clear.

I had seen countless magicians, but I had never seen anyone with such clear mana as Kaine.

‘Indeed, he is the son of that woman.’

For a moment, Makarov seemed to be thinking of someone.

“Excuse me, but I’m done.”

“Oh, yes. Well, I have nothing to feedback. You did well. Hmm… you two should be able to use this magic.”

At the Grand Sage’s words, Skaya tilted her head in confusion.

“You mean us two…?”

Makarov nodded and shouted excitedly, spreading his arms wide,

“Yes! The magic I will teach you is a magic that can only be activated by a couple, not just one person!”

Upon hearing this, Kaine realized once again how much Makarov envied couples.
