"Principal! He said.
We will have to approach this very wisely," Kangha says, his voice low but firm. "He must not suspect any of our actions. His room holds valuable information. From there, we can uncover many things and explore various possibilities. We'll start with his room first."
Miss Choi nods, her expression resolute, clearly satisfied with his plan. "You're right," she agrees.
Kangha glances at her, his gaze sharp yet thoughtful. Without another word, he exits the room, leaving an air of determination behind him.
As the door clicks shut, Miss Choi turns her attention to Ji Yeon, who is sitting silently, lost in thought. She furrows her brows. "Ji Yeon, what are you thinking?" she asks curiously.
Ji Yeon hesitates, his expression darkening. "He didn't treat me well," he mutters bitterly. "What's his problem, anyway? Why should I even bother supporting him?"
Miss Choi frowns but doesn't press further. "You're overthinking it," she says, trying to brush off his negativity.
Ji Yeon looks at her but doesn't respond. Instead, he rises from his seat abruptly, his chair scraping against the floor. "Nothing," he says curtly before striding out of the room, his steps echoing in the corridor.
"Kangha".From behind, Ji-yeon stopped him.
Kangha didn't look back at her, and she kept walking toward him.
She come closer to him and said,
"I told you last night that you can't do it alone. So why are you still refusing my help?" she said in a low, slow voice. "Look, Kangha, I have a lot of information. I can help you in many ways. We have to do this together."
Kangha turned his face in amusement to her and asked, "Your mother taught you all this, right? But I refused your help in front of her—so why didn't she say you're capable? Why doesn't she know how much you know?
Ji-yeon's face pales, and he opens his mouth to say something, but no words come out. He's at a loss, unable to figure out how to respond to Kangha.
Kangha, unfazed, continues speaking, his tone steady and unrelenting.
The book you took from her—why doesn't she know about that?"
The color drained from ji- Jeon's face, her skin turning pale. Kangha stared at her, his voice sharp. "You lied to me about everything. Your mother hasn't seen you in ten years.
"How can I trust you?"
He said this and walked away, leaving her behind.
Ji-jeon's heartbeat is racing; it seems like she is about to cry. She wipes her face and heads to her room. She has no words to say and she never know,how to react. And reply.
—---------------
Now, Kangha stands in front of the headmaster's office. For a moment, he pauses, lost in thought, and then knocks on the door. No sound comes from inside. He knocks again and enters. The room is empty.
"It's morning—where could the headmaster be at this hour?
A desk and chair are positioned in front of him, the same ones his grandfather used for work. To the right is a bed, and to the left is a library. The room is spacious and airy. Next to the bed is the door to the washroom, and there are no other doors in the entire room.
Where he gone? He said in a loud voice.
Kangha starts to leave the room, still looking for the headmaster. As he crosses the doorway, he suddenly senses something—someone is here. Turning his head toward the other side of the door, in the front of the library he sees the headmaster standing there, though he wasn't in the room earlier.
Kangha stares at him with amazement. The headmaster is standing in front of the bookshelf, holding a book and reading. Kangha's face is full of surprise as he walks toward him.
"When did you come here?" the headmaster asks.
Kangha pauses for a moment, regaining his composure. "I just came now."
Now standing face-to-face, both of them turn toward the window.
"I came to tell you that you did well keeping the students competitive," Kangha says. "But what will you do with those who lose?"
"We will throw them out of the school," the headmaster replies coldly. "Kangha, you should focus only on competition—it's what matters most." He pats Kangha's shoulder as he speaks..
Kangha smiled, nodded, and glanced at the book the headmaster was reading.Then, he left the room. He returned to his own room, his face filled with surprise.
Why was he reading such a clever book? He doesn't usually read books like that. I clearly remember when I looked inside the room—no one was there. So how did he appear all of a sudden? How is that possible?
Kangha became deeply lost in thought. I'll have to go back and check his room again. There must be something there that allows him to disappear and reappear.Someone opens the door to Kangha's room. Kangha looks back and sees that it is Wo-jin.
"Why didn't you come to eat?" Wojin asked.
Kangha gestured for him to close the door and, as he walked toward him, said,
"Where did you go yesterday?"
"I went home.
But now, "you will have to stay with me'
"Yah!, I know that, but everything is ok?"
"I just came from the headmaster's room," Kangha replied. "I saw something unbelievable. At first, he wasn't there, but then he suddenly appeared. We need to take a closer look at his room."
"It's possible that the headmaster used some method to disappear or make himself invisible to you."Wojin replied
"The skills we learned were only for making objects disappear, not people."Kangha said, his expression like he thinks deeply.
"If he really is Felix, then he knows magic, magic like that he can doing anything.and this would be easy for him. I read in his book that he doesn't know how to disappear, take someone's life, or possess another body—he doesn't know more dangerous magic."
"So that means Felix isn't just inside the headmaster's body—he has become the headmaster himself?" Wojin asked in astonishment.
"Yes, that's the truth," Kangha confirmed.
"Are you completely sure that he wasn't in the room?"
"Yes, I'm sure he wasn't there."
"Kangha, if he is a powerful wizard, then this could become a problem for us."
"I don't know if he knows the out of control magic to disappear, but I do know that we will find the answer in the same place."Kangha said this with certainty"
"Kangha, I came to tell you that I found out about some rounds in the competition. First, there will be a race, and after that, a fighting round. The competition won't be too difficult."
"How did you find out?"
"I heard this from the boys down below who were talking to each other.""
"Wojin, The competition won't be easy. The headmaster will make every effort to defeat me.""We don't know if this is true or not, but I know he will do anything to defeat me. Still, I will try my best to win." Kangha said this in determination.
"Alright, then I'll take my leave."
Wojin starts to leave the room when suddenly he remembers that, today Kangha is going to meet with miss Choi.
Then wo-jin suddenly turned and ask, "Have you met Miss Choi?"
"Yes, I went to see her, but Ji-yeon was there. So, I didn't talk much."
"Didn't you ask her?" Woo-jin asks.
"No, I didn't ask her. But I do know that Ji-yeon is hiding something."
