Chapter 399 – Chapter 399. American Dream
– Irene: I want to repeat the story I told you then.
“… You really came.”
I corrected my posture and sat down while looking at my smart watch.
It was because a message had arrived from Irene.
I was also thinking about Irene, so her timing was good.
But I can’t help but regret it.
“I wish I had come a day earlier.”
Then I would have been able to do something with Irene.
I’m leaving for America tomorrow, but if you call me tonight, there’s nothing I can do.
– Me: I’m sorry, but I’m leaving tomorrow. Let’s talk about it when I go to America.
– Irene: What? Why?
– Me: I have to go to the wizarding society held in the United States. I will contact you when I come back.
“This should be enough.”
I sent Irene her message and put on a confused expression.
It was because I felt how much Irene was worried and she sent me that message.
She’s been rejected, so she must have her heart complicated too.
‘I’m a little sorry for thinking that way.’
I was hurting Irene because of my personal greed.
Of course, her love for her brother is not normal… Because that’s not her heart that she made her own fault.
Irene is also just a victim.
“I think it’s something that keeps doing bad things to Irene.”
I do not regret the past.
To attack Irene, she had no choice but to hurt her unconditionally.
Alice is the heroine in the original story.
When I entered this world, I had to attack Alice, who was not a new heroine, but the heroine of the original work.
So, there were two ways to deal with Irene.
Either the relationship is pierced, or it is made on my side at all.
I chose the latter, and the process is just a little rough.
‘Is there any way I can spend the night with Alice?’
I think it would be best to see Alice and Irene having sex together.
‘Requires 3p?’
It’s kind of like this.
Due to Alice’s personality, I might die.
‘Actually, did your sister confess that she liked you?’
This is even weirder
You will feel rejected physiologically.
‘Should I be trash?’
It’s already too trashy, but Irene’s image needs to be saved.
Now that this has happened, Irene’s favorability must also be raised, and she cannot hide it from Ellis forever.
“Yes. What am I going to sacrifice?”
Garbage handling is familiar.
It’s only going to be trash once or twice more.
I packed my things while organizing my thoughts about Irene.
I have to leave for America tomorrow.
Now that we’ve finished our greetings with the heroines, we should focus on the wizarding society.

Monday morning.
As I was about to head to the airport, Liliana grabbed my arm and started to cry.
“Sobbing….”
“Why are you doing that?”
“Isn’t it nice for a woman to cry for you?”
“No, it hurts, so don’t do that.”
“Okay.”
I pat Liliana on the back as she pretends to cry and turn her around.
I know you’re pretending to cry, but it’s just sad because you’re like that.
Nam Da-eun, Scarlett, and Rebecca stood side by side looking at me.
After having dinner together last night and saying hello, why are you all standing there feeling burdened?
“Everyone go in quickly. Why are they all out?”
“At least I want to see the last of you.”
“No, if anyone sees it, they’ll think they’re dying. They’ll come in a week.”
“Baby’s father. I’ll contact you. I’ll also share my achievements with magic.”
“Yes. I will help even when I go to America.”
I grabbed each one and said hello.
The last one remains.
Instead of saying hello, Nam Da-eun came to me and arranged her clothes.
I was wearing a suit because I was going to a conference, but Nam Da-eun quietly tidied up my clothes.
“Thank you.”
“Have a good trip. Hoyeon-ah.”
“Yes. I’ll come soon.”
Nam Da-eun smiled with satisfaction.
I made eye contact with Nam Da-eun for a moment, then turned around and went out to the front door.
I can’t even leave any longer. I have to force myself to move.
“Come on, I’ll come back from work, so everyone is taking good care of the house.”
“Goodbye~! Buy an American hamburger when you come!”
Liliana’s voice echoed from behind.
I heard that and quickly went outside.
‘… Something’s not right.’
It’s hard to leave because there are people waiting for me.
Is this what it feels like to be at home?
I wanted to say hello longer, but if I dragged out more time there, we would have had sex together.
Anyway, that’s kind of it.
I moved quickly to the airport.
*
“Unexpectedly, the airport seems to be smaller here.”
“Don’t expect too much. This is also a place where people live.”
Professor Sol Im and I walked side by side past the arrival gate at the airport.
It’s my first time coming to America, and although the building seems big, there’s nothing particularly special about it.
I followed the professor and asked.
“Where are you going now?”
“I have to go to my dorm. There is a place provided by the society every year.”
Professor Sol Im was dragging her suitcase and looking at her smart watch.
There is an accommodation provided by the Society, but I heard that the whole 5-star hotel was rented for the Wizard Society.
Certainly, I could see the influence of the Mage Association in the world.
It’s just a different level from the local academic society.
“Here.”
“Wow….”
What kind of hotel is this big?
I blinked and followed the professor into the room.
When I handed out the invitation to the conference in the lobby, the receptionist in the lobby smiled and handed out the card.
Maybe I’ll take a picture of that and go into the room.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes Yes?”
Professor Im Sol headed straight for the elevator.
I quickly caught up with him, but the doubts didn’t go away.
‘Is there a room?’
Amalgamation?
Of course I thought I would use another room, but is this opportunity already coming?
I cautiously told Professor Im Sol.
“Professor.”
“Yes?”
“Well, we only have one room, is that okay?”
Still, it’s better to say it now than to become a problem later.
Upon hearing my words, Professor Im Sol raised the corners of her mouth.
It was like seeing a cute cat.
“Haven’t you tried the suite?”
“Is it a suite?”
What is that. Is it a sweet room?
Are you giving me macarons?
It wasn’t until I went up the elevator and entered the room that I realized what that meant.
I’ve only been to one-room motels my whole life, but luxury hotels have separate living rooms and bedrooms.
It even had two bedrooms.
That’s why the professor didn’t say anything.
Embarrassed, I started unpacking.
“…But how are you staying in the same house?”
Think positively.
It’s much more comfortable to see than staying in a completely different room.
At that time, the professor who finished packing up first came into my room.
“Are there still many left?”
“No. I’m almost done.”
“Then would you like to go see someone with me?”
“Who are you?”
“The head of the wizarding society.”
“… The president? Are you talking about Arthur Kennedy?”
“Yes.”
Arthur Kennedy.
He is the president of the wizarding society.
It is safe to say that he is the most famous among wizards.
He was kind to everyone, combining strength as well as personality, and is a wizard who has tremendous achievements in the field of magic research.
A living legend who has now retired from active duty and serves as the president of the wizarding society.
But why does such a person know Professor Lim Sol?
“You know Arthur Kennedy?”
“Then no?”
“No, it’s not like that. But everyone in the society said they didn’t like it.”
Professor Imsol didn’t seem to like the wizarding society very much.
It was Im Sol’s way of proving himself and trying to press their noses.
But it’s a bit strange to see them personally with their representative, the president of the society.
“It’s not that I hate them all. And I used to know the old man. Anyway, do you want to go see it too?”
“Me?”
“Yeah. He said he really wants to see you once?”
“Uh….”
I thought about it for a while, but it didn’t last long.
I have nothing to lose by meeting you, so I’ll have to see it once.
I’m not a bad person if the professor says that.
And I’ll have to check if there’s a strange guy next to my prospective girlfriend, Professor Lim Sol.
“Then let’s go.”
“Okay. Pack your things and follow me.”
We packed up and went down to the hotel lobby.
We headed to the cafe attached to the lobby.
When I entered the cafe, a middle-aged man was sitting in a corner.
“Is that person right?”
“Right.”
A pretty handsome middle-aged man.
He recognized this side and waved his hand and smiled.
“Sol. It’s been a while.”
“Mister. Don’t call me that in front of other people.”
Professor Lim Sol and all her close friends call her Sol.
Is it like a nickname?
Honestly cute
Sol, I want to call him too.
“Sorry to say that again… Ah, that’s Lee Ho-yeon, the second-generation genius wizard, isn’t it?”
“Nice to meet you.”
Nod
I politely bowed my head and greeted the president.
I don’t know what the 2nd Genius Wizard is, but this man has no ill repute.
If you do well, even a piece of rice cake will fall.
“Hey. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a proper prospect, and I feel very refreshed.”
“Don’t use uncle-like expressions, talk about business.”
“Sit down for now. There’s nothing to be in a hurry with.”
The professor and I sat in our chairs and waited for Arthur to follow her.
Arthur looked at me and nodded his head.
“I wondered what happened to you and made you a disciple, but this is enough to understand.”
“Is that why you asked me to show you a disciple?”
“If it had been a woman, I wouldn’t have said anything. I was afraid I might be bewitched by a handsome man.”
“I’ll figure it out.”
I quietly watched the conversation between the two.
I thought they were simply acquaintances, but it seems that they are deeper than that.
It was a bit like a father and daughter relationship.
‘I don’t know the professor’s parents.’
First of all, it’s clear that Arthur isn’t her parents, but she probably took care of her since she was a child.
I’ll have to ask her later.
“Um, so can I call you Cadet Lee Ho-yeon?”
“You can call me whatever you like.”
“Okay. Cadet Lee Ho-yeon. Would you like to learn magic from me?”
“… Magic?”
Arthur continued with a kind smile.
“Yes. I heard that I am Sol-yi’s disciple, so I tried to help him a bit if he was okay, but this is enough to make me want to ask him. Wouldn’t you like to learn magic from me?”
“Uh….”
I’ll have to think about this a bit.
The mana felt by the president was certainly strong, but weaker than that of Professor Im Sol.
It was only natural that his heyday was long past.
Because he has already stepped down from his active duty and is taking the place of the president of the society.
‘Will it really help?’
I secretly looked at Professor Imsol.
It meant asking for help.
Then the professor looked at me and nodded his head.
“It won’t be bad. Our disciple will be able to grow more.”
“Okay?”
“Yeah. It was the old man who taught me magic. He’s good at addressing people’s weak points, so it’ll be of some help to you, right?
I was startled in my heart.
Arthur taught Professor Imsol about magic.
Aren’t you a great person?
“Then… Thank you.”
“Well, I’ll give you some guidance while I’m in America.”
“Thank you.”
I bowed my head in gratitude.
You can trust the person the professor vouched for.
Maybe it’s a pretty good opportunity.
“Did you call today for your disciple?”
“That can’t be the case. There’s something I want Sol-yi to help me with.”
Arthur smiled and looked at me.
Does this mean I’m going to fall for a while?
“Should I go up first?”
“Yeah. I’m going to go and organize my stuff.”
“Next time, I’ll contact you through Sol. Cadet Lee Ho-yeon.”
I bowed my head once more and left the cafe first.
I’m curious about what the two of them are talking about, but seeing that the professor is like that, it seems to be a very important conversation.
‘Arthur….’
Tell me the magic… I’m looking forward to it somehow.
Maybe it will be a hint to beat Professor Im Sol.
I look forward to our next meeting.
