During my time living in the kingdom, I often faced the threat of assassination.

So I was highly sensitive to the details, especially in the middle of the night.

Someone breaking into my home was no different.

Even though I was in a more relaxed state after leaving the kingdom—

—Rustling, rustling.

“…….”

I was not so oblivious that I wouldn’t notice that someone had broken into my private room.

Seureureuk.

I grasped the Imp tail wand that I had wrapped around my arm.

If there was one difference between the me who faced assassinations and various threats in the kingdom and the current me, it was that I could now handle most intruders on my own.

I didn’t know who they were, but I’d let them taste the magic of a Rank 4.5!

“Hu-.”

With that feeling, I took a deep breath and swiftly opened the door.

Giiik-.

“Don’t move-!”

As I loudly shouted and aimed my wand, the person who had been rummaging around in my room let out a startled scream.

“Kkyaaaak-!”

It was a sharp, piercing scream of a woman. But rather than the scream, what surprised me was the identity of the burglar.

“No, you-.”

“Kkyaaaak-!”

However, screaming wasn’t enough for her. She started throwing things from my desk at me; tissue boxes, thick books, candles, cups, and various other items.

Syuk, syuksyuk.

Ppak.

Her throwing skills were remarkably accurate, and as a result, some of the objects hit my small head and face, causing me to involuntarily let out a pained scream, “Hieek!”

‘It hurt!’

For a moment, my eyes flashed as I felt anger rising within me. But what mattered most right now was calming down the agitated woman.

“Kkyaaaaaak-!!!”

“Wait, stop for a second! You’ll break things! Hey, don’t touch the bookshelf, it’s arranged in an important order!”

“Go away-!!!”

“What are you doing? And stop throwing things-!”

But she paid no heed to my words. Was it because of her panic?

Syuksyuk.

If this continued, my room would be in complete chaos. With no other choice, I aimed my wand at her.

─Gamigin-!

Pajijik.

The high-ranking magic that even Demon King Solomon found difficult to handle flew like pink lightning and struck the intruder.

“Ack-!”

She fell to the floor in a strange flurry.

Then she started to tremble like a frog struck by lightning in a pond.

“Hu-.”

It’d gotten quiet now.

Or so I thought.

Clatter-.

━What, what’s going on?

━Who’s the brute screaming at this late hour?

━It sounded like someone getting murdered?

The doors on the fourth floor started opening one after the other, and half-asleep people began coming towards my room.

Seeing weapons like swords and spears in their hands, it seemed like they thought something had happened after hearing a woman’s scream.

Finally, a woman with pink hair, holding a club in her hand, stood at the entrance of my private room.

“What are you doing? Who is that woman lying over there?”

She seemed ready to strike me.

“Ah, this is….”

How could I explain this? Looking at the situation, I looked like the perpetrator here…

But before I could say anything, someone said.

━Isn’t that Professor Stella?

━That’s right, it really is Professor Stella. Why is Professor Stella down…?

It was the perfect moment for misunderstandings. Perhaps they were already making up rumors right now. So, I quickly clarified.

“It’s just a personal matter. It’s nothing serious, so don’t worry about it everyone.”

* * *

With great difficulty, I eventually managed to persuade the crowd to return to their rooms after having lost their interest.

I was sweating, but it seemed like ‘Trainer’ and ‘Actor’ had some effect as my experience points increased.

━What, so it wasn’t anything special.

━Let’s just go back to sleep.

The fact that it was late at 2am might have also played a part. Fortunately, the situation didn’t escalate into something more troublesome.

“Professor, you owe me big time.”

“…….”

Stella, who was sitting on the only chair in my private room, had been silent since earlier. It seemed like she had no explanations or excuses.

Then, after a long time, she finally opened her mouth and said, “Give me a cup of tea.”

She was asking for tea after invading my room like a thief.

What a distinguished lady.

In my mind, I really wanted to report her for burglary or illegal trespassing.

The reason I didn’t do that was because I didn’t want to make things big. And I wanted to clear a personal debt with Stella.

Somehow, Stella seemed more composed than I thought, so I boiled hot tea and handed it to her.

“I added some milk and sugar.”

Receiving it, she praised, “It smells good.”

Asking and savoring tea after getting caught rummaging my room.

Was this the cunning of a 132-year-old elf?

‘132 years old.’

Come to think of it, it felt weird.

In a world where magic and spells existed, along with the existence of beings like fairies and Imps, there were many things that didn’t feel real, including the existence of long-lived beings.

Just by appearance, she looked like she was in her thirties. Did she really live for over a hundred years?

Seureureuk.

I took the opportunity to observe Stella Bellhawk’s appearance.

Her short, neatly-cut, purple hair was very stylish, and her long, pointed ears peeking through were like a well-made make-up or some kind of prosthetic.

She was dressed in an ordinary outfit that didn’t look like someone who came to steal stuff; a white blouse and a fitted, short blue skirt.

“You make good tea.”

Her amber eyes delicately trembled to a crescent. Thanks to this, the teardrop spot under her right eye was reflected in my eyes.

Overall, she was an incredibly attractive woman.

The words “teacher” or “professor” didn’t fit with her, rather she felt like a girl my age, but….

At the same time, she was also a home invader who sneaked in my dorm.

“Why the hell did you do that?”

“Hm? Whatever could you mean?”

“…….”
