Principal Yoo Yena had briefly introduced the school's educational policies, curriculum, and schedule to Jinwoo and Daeho.

"All the costumes and equipment used for performances and practices are included in the tuition fee, so there won't be any additional costs. There might be separate fees for summer or winter training camps, but those are optional."

Principal Yoo Yena continued explaining slowly and clearly with her enchanting, gentle voice.

Fortunately, it didn't feel like a weird cult or scam.

"Ah... I see."

Jinwoo and Daeho were actively interjecting while responding to Principal Yoo Yena.

Also, the fact that the school was officially registered with the World Magic Association...

And the fact that it had affiliations with prestigious magic schools abroad...

She meticulously explained to Jinwoo and Daeho about the study abroad preparation process and the support available from an entertainment perspective if they chose magic as a career.

"Is there anything you're curious about or want to ask?"

After finishing her prepared speech, Principal Yoo Yena asked Jinwoo and Daeho if they had any questions.

"Me!! Me!! I have a question, Teacher!"

Daeho eagerly raised his hand as if he had been waiting.

"What are you so curious about?"

Principal Yoo Yena, slightly surprised by Daeho's enthusiastic attitude, chuckled softly before asking.

"Have you lived abroad?"

"Ah... Yes, I lived abroad for about 10 years."

"What country?"

"India, the Netherlands, Canada, Egypt, South Sudan, Thailand... I've been around."

"Did you major in magic?"

"No, my major was in psychiatry. But I have a professional license and an education director’s certificate from the association."

"Is Seulgi your niece?"

"You could say that~!?"

"How old are you?"

"That's a secret~"

Principal Yoo Yena winked as she answered.

"Are you married?"

Daeho, now speaking informally, asked.

"Not yet..."

"Do you have a partner?"

"Well... Maybe soon?"

Tilting her head and flirting, Principal Yoo Yena looked into Daeho's eyes as she responded.

Principal Yoo Yena was tactfully handling Daeho's brash questions, matching his informal tone appropriately.

Especially her playful answer to the last question seemed to have effectively silenced Daeho's heart, leaving him speechless.

"Hey~! We came here for a consultation, what are you asking the teacher?"

Jinwoo intercepted the timing to scold Daeho, preventing him from asking any more questions.

"Do you have anything you want to ask, student Jinwoo?"

Principal Yoo Yena turned towards Jinwoo and spoke.

-A familiar presence from somewhere-

While recognizing Seulgi, Jinwoo felt a strange sense of deja-vu and decided to muster the courage to ask the question he had been hesitant to ask for fear of being rude.

"Um... Principal Yoo Yena~ you look so familiar, have we met before?"

Principal Yoo Yena smiled slightly and looked at Jinwoo silently before speaking.

"Oh my~ Is that a pickup line that's trending among students these days?"

With a palm against her cheek, she made a playful face as if surprised by his remark.

"Ah...no, that's not it..."

Jinwoo’s face turned red with embarrassment.

"Haha, just kidding~ kidding~ I also feel like I’ve seen Jinwoo and Daeho somewhere before~ Maybe we’ve bumped into each other once or twice since I also teach in the after-school classroom at Minji’s school?"

Now speaking informally as if teasing, Principal Yoo Yena continued.

"Ah... That could be."

Though Jinwoo responded with embarrassment, he inwardly could not agree as Principal Yoo Yena was a beauty he would never forget.

"If you don’t have any more questions, why don’t you fill out the school survey? After participating in the survey, we offer a free fortune-telling event."

Principal Yoo Yena was now speaking completely informally, treating Jinwoo and Daeho casually.

"Fortune-telling? I guess you do that at a magic school?"

Daeho asked with eyes full of curiosity.

"Yeah~ Since magic tends to come with expectations, we thought we’d organize a simple event... What do you think? Want to try?"

With a gracious and dignified smile, Principal Yoo Yena spoke.

"Let’s do it~!! Let’s do it~!!"

Daeho eagerly raised his hand again, dramatically expressing his willingness to participate in the survey event.

**

The survey consisted of three pages.

The first page required basic personal information like name, date of birth, phone number, email address, etc.

Questions like if the chances of accepting a proposal would increase if magic were involved, whether they would be interested in learning such magic in a short course, and how much they were willing to pay to learn magic were included, appearing to be part of a promotional survey for the school.

The second page contained questions that should be considered before viewing the fortune-telling session, such as current concerns, conflicts with people, and wishes they might want to fulfill.

The third page asked about personality traits and tendencies, seemingly to determine what kind of roles would suit them when on stage.

Questions like whether they enjoyed taking a leading role, felt satisfaction from serving others, aimed to dominate the stage and influence others according to their will, and whether they could switch between dominant and submissive roles were included.

Jinwoo quickly filled out the survey and handed it to Principal Yoo Yena.

"Fortune-telling will be done in a separate room! Minji, can you show Jinwoo around?"

Principal Yoo Yena, with her melodious voice, asked Minji to guide Jinwoo.

"Sure, Teacher!! Come this way, big bro! Hehe~"

Minji responded as if she had been waiting for this moment.

She grabbed Jinwoo's hand and pulled him up, then led him out of the principal’s office.

**

Outside the principal's office, through the maze-like corridors of the school, Minji led Jinwoo to a door covered with black curtains. The glass door was decorated with moons and constellations.

"Here we are, big bro! Don’t be nervous, just relax and come out when you’re done, okay? Hehe~"

Minji tried to reassure Jinwoo.

"Yeah, got it~ Just go in for a bit and come out, right?"

Jinwoo looked at Minji with a content smile.

"Yeah~ Jinwoo big bro~! Hehe~!"

Minji responded energetically.

Suddenly, Minji threw her arms around Jinwoo, just like when she had hugged Seulgi.

"Uh... what!?"

Jinwoo looked at Minji, wondering what was happening.

"Big bro, thanks for coming today~!! I have to go to class now, so I won’t be able to see you off~"

Minji was saying goodbye to Jinwoo while hugging him.

Jinwoo's body responded as Minji's soft body pressed against his waist and thighs.

Without thinking, Jinwoo's hand moved toward Minji's butt.

And he began patting Minji's butt, just as he had seen Seulgi do with Minji and Sua before.

The firmness of Minji's butt seemed to transmit directly to Jinwoo’s hand through her skirt.

Jinwoo himself was surprised by his bold action.

Minji stood still in Jinwoo's embrace.

"Alright... Have a good class and be careful going home. But it’s not dangerous at night, right?"

Jinwoo tried to sound casual while speaking to Minji.

"Yeah~ I’ll be with Sua, so it should be fine, hehe~"

Minji looked up at Jinwoo, her expression unchanged from usual, smiling brightly.

Jinwoo once again patted Minji’s butt, feeling the texture and elasticity through her skirt as he checked for a reaction.

Minji kept smiling brightly up at Jinwoo, still in his embrace.

Blood seemed to rush momentarily to Jinwoo’s groin.

"Don’t forget you promised to buy me ice cream here at the café next time, okay?"

Minji spoke naturally, without any hint of discomfort from Jinwoo's actions.

"Sure~ with Sua~!!"

Jinwoo cautiously responded, lightly resting his hand on Minji’s buttocks.

"Okay~!!"

Minji answered, smiling again without showing any sign of discomfort.

Jinwoo's heart was racing.
