    Chapter 28

    Late at night on the library’s rooftop, Epherene leaned against the railing and looked at the university’s night view.

    She could see the tower’s blue glow that stretched all the way to the top. At the bottom, the lit lecture rooms, roads, and restaurants of different buildings brightened the lands like stars.

    Because of the exam period, her night at the university had ended.

    “…”

    Epherene looked at the Ouija board she was holding in her arms.

    It had a black edge with a white background, and it was the mini version of the Makaboard, a communication window for the tower wizards.

    Its official name was ‘JeonSeoPan,’ an omnidirectional device that allowed multiple communication.”

    It was a magical tool, more commonly called the ‘Ouija board,’ that functioned as a bulletin board. It also made communication between wizards possible.

    But Professors didn’t use them since their lifespan was only 7 to 8 years.

    [Perfectly organized, Deculein’s lecture notes (currently 4th week), how much would it cost if I auction it off? A one-page sample is available.]

    Epherene found it necessary to write that post on the [Tower’s Secret Bulletin] since 50% of the 100 thousand Elnes donation she received had already been spent on stationeries and magic books.

    —500 Elnes.

    —1 thousand for me.

    —2 thousand.

    —4 thousand.

    —5 thousand.

    —6 thousand. Depending on its condition, I can give more.

    “Oh, my.”

    Surprised and mildly scared of the crazy prices, she deleted it immediately. “… No wonder. I would have bought it if I had a lot of money, too.”

    For that reason, she found Deculein very strange.

    Why did he reveal such efficient techniques and tips without hiding anything?

    Most professors received large sums of money to secretly give private lessons, with the condition that the student came on their own accord and was under contract to not reveal it to external sources.

    She heard that wizards were the type to always be wary no matter how much money they had and were always jealous of their juniors when they climbed higher than they did.

    Taking that into consideration, Deculein, who had changed this year, was acting suspiciously.

    “Whatever.” Epherene shook it off as she took a deep breath, upon which a sudden thought passed by her mind.

    ‘My dad probably agonized over something in this railing some time ago as well. Unsolved magic, or something more serious like answers to life, in the night breeze here.’
