Chapter 26: Gazing at the Meteor (1)

Monday morning, in the dorms area…

After waking, I ate the fruit that Ireina had cut and enjoyed the time remaining before my first class at the academy.

I got up early enough to be able to afford to spend some idle time lazing about and there was still quite a bit of time left until school started.

Yesterday, I had time to briefly learn the structure of the premises by walking around the academy following the guidance of my seniors.

As it is the place where all prospective nobles of the empire would gather, the buildings and roads were clean and luxurious, and the staff were well-kept and friendly.

It was also as huge as a small village in a South Korean province.

It was like Korea University.

During my middle school vacation, I visited Korea University with Jihye on a field trip.

At that time, we hadn't realised that the distance between the station and the university was actually quite far and that the school was on top of a mountain.

I could only remember the hardships of having to walk up the mountain after getting off at the Korea National University Station.

As the academy was the only higher education institution and the centre of academia in the Empire, it boasted a higher status in this otherworldly society than Korea University.

I opened my wallet and took out the things I had received from Soniel the day before yesterday.

A golden key.

It shone like her hair and had a pattern symbolizing the imperial family engraved on it.

At a glance, it was quite a peculiar thing.

This was proof that I was a vouched-for individual.

This was a token of trust and displayed the person as a responsibility of the princess.

Those who possessed it were treated as Soniel's important guests and could visit her residence at any time by showing it to the guards.

Although it took the form of a key, it could not actually open any locks.

At least, that was the hearsay, though my mysterious key had the ability to open a certain door.

Soniel, who handed it to me and told me to come into her bedroom whenever I wanted, was very enticing at that time.

On Saturday evening, after having made love to her, I asked her about the peephole and her sister Amer.

She replied that it had been the first time she had used the drawing room that day and that she hadn't noticed the hole as she was so preoccupied with having sex.

I didn't expect her to reveal her true thoughts on the matter anyway, so I went along with that.

Next, I questioned her [Future Sight] Powers.

The attribute of Soniel and the authorities she manifested made her one of a kind in the empire.

If I handled her ability well, I could reap some huge benefits.

Unfortunately, Soniel was only able to see the future for a short moment, and she was not free to observe the future she wanted, as she herself said.

She had said that it was only possible to check the unfathomable timelines while looking at the stars in the night sky and to observe the future changes when her vision was engulfed.

But even that was a great power.

I didn't think life in this other world would be so simple.

I was fully satisfied with the current environment I found myself in, where I have had the chance to grow safely while receiving the support of the state.

***

"Jihoo, good morning!"

"Uh, hello."

I was greeted by Park Min-ho, who was sitting at the front of the spacious classroom and walked towards him.

All of the classmates with whom I went to school with together were sitting together in groups around him.

Well, it was a natural phenomenon as there were very few people the Earth lot had been able to get close to in such a short time.

My glorious first lecture at the academy was to be about the 'History of Empire'.

The class looked boring just from hearing its name, but first-year students would have to take it in their first semester.

Naturally, I sat next to Hyerin.

It appeared that wisdom had not yet arrived.

"Hi."

"Hey, did you sleep well?"

The scent of perfumed shampoo emanated from her.

Looking around the room, we were also getting attention from the other students.

The news of the black-haired and black-eyed summoned beings had already spread throughout the entire empire.

It was inevitable to notice the black-haired individuals when we were gathered in one place among all the other colourful heads.

I looked around the classroom and found Amer.

She was surrounded by many men and women, and she jerked her head unnaturally in the opposite direction from me as soon as my eyes met hers.

"Your Highness? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Ugh, it's okay."

Amer must have recalled the memories from Saturday, as her ears as could be seen through the pink hair were reddened.

A transparent water puddle had formed on the floor of the hallway and a strong, dirty smell accompanied it.

The circumstances made it clear that Amer had masturbated while voyeurizing Soniel and me.

She was a princess who soothed herself alone in an empty hallway.

My cock seemed to stand erect at just the thought

I nodded my head slightly and pulled my boxers to the side slightly, and then Hyerin glanced at me strangely.

"Jihoo! Hello Hyerin!"

"Are you only here now?"

"Hi."

Ji-hye ran into the classroom just two minutes before the class started and took a seat next to me.

She ran all the way from the dormitory to class, catching her breath and pouring out her complaints.

"No, but why do we have to have classes in the morning!? This is tyranny against night owls like me!"

"What time did you go to bed last night?"

"I didn't sleep!"

"...?"

"I went to bed at 6 a.m. today, not yesterday..."

"······."

Hyerin hid her surprised expression by covering her slightly open mouth with her hand.

She asked with a worried expression—

"Then how many hours of sleep did you get...?"

"Um, about two hours? Wake me up if I doze off..."

"Yes···."

Jihye back on Earth was not such a late sleeper.

The reason she had lost her sleep recently was because of her attributes.

The [Death] Attribute had the side effect that the stronger the Awakener became, the more clear his mind would be at night rather than during the day.

If the side effects of her attributes continued to worsen, we would have to find a solution as soon as possible.
