Swanhaden threw his worn, exhausted body onto the bed. When Swan collapsed onto the bed, the sheets turned dark red. Shuraina worried, thinking about how they needed to stop the bleeding. She asked him. "Where are the bandages?""Don't cross the line." Shuraina didn't even pretend not to hear Swanhaden's words. She was just about to … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (57)

"Now that we have the circle, should we try it out?""Try it, try it!" The long-distance teleportation circle was a difficult task, even for Shuraina. The sense of accomplishment she felt when she succeeded was difficult to express in words. Her entire body itched with the need to try it out. "Then, just as a … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (56)

Young Shuraina's mornings always began with running laps around the West family's personal training hall. Her short orange hair was ruffled by the wind. Shuraina wanted to become one of the most powerful knights in the royal palace: magical knights. To achieve that goal, she woke up at midnight and ran laps every day, even … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (55)

I approached Swan, who just happened to be laying on the grass near the pond. It was so that I could thank him for everything that had happened recently. He had gotten me back to school after the monster subjugation, and had provided me with the highest-grade potions for nothing in return. And throughout all … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (54)

I made it a habit to call home once a day, because my parents were keenly feeling the emptiness of two of their three children living in the dorms of the academy. But because I hadn't called them when I was feeling sick, my worried mother had contacted the school directly to hear what had … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (53)

Swan's teary face felt familiar. I had definitely never seen this face before, but it felt strangely familiar. "......please." Even if Swan and I had been close before, it was still extremely strange for him to be crying just because I had lost consciousness just this once. Especially, especially because this was Swanhaden. I barely … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (52)

The Swan that I remembered was someone who ignored everything I said and didn't have a single ounce of friendliness or mercy. Whenever I tried to talk to him, he looked at me with pure hatred on his face. No, even if it wasn't me, he just looked like he despised whoever tried to get … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (51)

I ended up doing the monster subjugation by myself. I thought about working with the other girls, but we weren't close at all. I gave up trying to work with them because I didn't want to feel uncomfortable. I had been told to pair up with Swan, but I had the same problem with him … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (50)

The Swan that I remembered had a cold personality. Whenever he dueled against me, he always beat me without even attempting to let me win. Well, I would've been furious if he let me win. I only remembered him staring me down with a cold glare whenever I approached him. He seemed like a child … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (49)

I arrived at my afternoon swordsmanship classes earlier than usual. I was planning on running a few laps around the hall to warm myself up. I took the medicine that Yves gave me for my height and changed into my training uniform. I also grabbed a towel for my sweat. When I arrived at the … Continue reading I Don’t Want to be an Ojakgyo (48)
