‘When you already have someone you love with all your might?’

As soon as I heard it, my heart seemed to sink with a thump.

‘No way, I didn’t expect it to be that bad.’

“Yerine, I hate love potion. You know it’s close to taboo for anyone majoring in magical drugs to bring out that word, right?”

“Huh? Yeah, I know.”

I nodded awkwardly and responded to Rayl’s words.

“I hate love potion because they falsely manipulate people’s minds. It’s about creating emotions that weren’t true love and it’s about making people misunderstand.”

“Yes, the love potion lasts only 15 days at the longest.”

Rayl’s eyes slowly shifted toward the chocolate.

He was looking at the box of chocolates with a really pathetic look.

“That’s right, manipulating emotions. It’s not real love. It can be seen from the fact that lovers made through love potion often don’t last that long.”

“But the drugged person acts as if they have more passionate love. Just for a moment.”

Rayl said, tapping his finger on his head.

“I mean, even a genius wizard could be fooled hardly by those fake emotions.”

The story that Rayl told me was interesting. But it was still difficult to figure out why he brought it up.

So I just smiled and answered back.

“I see. I didn’t know because I never really learned about love’s potion.”

Rayl stared at me, folded his arms and tilted his head.

“Yerine, do you know why I’m telling you this?”

“Huh?”

His deep green eyes were fixed on me.

“I told you before. It’s not easy to overcome the effect of the love potion. Even those with excellent magic skills usually affected by it.”

Rayl spoke in a serious voice.

“But the Prince was fine after eating chocolate with the undefined essence of the love potion, right?”

I slowly got a sense of what Rayl wanted to talk about.

‘That’s why he asked me to go outside and talk separately.’

The hand holding the box was strained.

Rayl looked up at me like that and slightly raised one side of his mouth.

“So, the Prince really cares about you. Even being unshakable to the temptation of the love potion.”

Rayl’s words caught my ear.

Unshakable to temptation.

‘I knew he likes me, but…….’

My heartbeat slowly and gradually began to accelerate.

I held the box so tightly that my hands were soaked with sweat.

“Rayl. But Cassius ate some of the chocolate……maybe…. no, is it possible that the potion hasn’t activated yet?”

Rayl shook his head at what I said.

“When I researched earlier, the potion level was so high that I thought the chocolate was marinated in the potion. It’s true that we only did the research for some part, but the whole chocolate must have been like that.”

Rayl answered by tapping his finger on the palm.

“And no matter how little you take, there’s no way the body can be unresponsive after taking the potion. Except for the exception I mentioned earlier.”

With that said, Rayl stepped toward the classroom.

“Well, I didn’t tell you what to do. I’m not saying you should go out with the prince right now.”

“Rayl…….”

“But I just wanted you to think about it.”

Rayl said with a smile.

“And I wanted you to know.”

The voice of the calm Rayl streamed into my ears.

“That there’s someone who thinks that way about you.”

***

“Oh, Eugene.”

A silver-haired man stood alone in an empty classroom where there was no one.

Eugene looked back at Rayl at the voice calling his name.

“What is it?”

“Oh, you’re answering me. We sure are a little closer now, right?”

With Rayl’s sweet smile, Eugene squinted his blue eyes like sapphire and turned his head away.

“Think as you like.”

Rayll was busy holding back his laughter.

Even if he spoke so harshly, there was something rather hard to awkward when he answered the question.

“By the way, what about the other S-class kids? You didn’t come with them?”

“The other three were hit by a water bomb, so they’d be late since they need to change their clothes.”

“Waterbomb? Did Yerine explode it?”

“Yeah. That fool turned off the fire that had been transferred to the apparatus and made a waterfall.”

His voice was indifferent and monotonous, but he didn’t miss it.

Eugene’s eyebrows wiggle with the word “Yerine” to be said.

“And you’re the only one who avoided it?”

“Yeah. The other two were hit by the water, and then Spade couldn’t defend herself from the exploded water bomb.”

Eugene, who said so, mumbled with his arms folded.

“Anyway, that fool does something stupid again.”

Then suddenly, he felt that his words were too harsh, and Eugene rubbed his mouth with the back of his hand and looked slightly sorry.

“……yes, well, I called her as a fool, but that’s just a little too much anyway.”

Eugene swept away his shiny silver hair and corrected it.

‘This is going to be fun.’

Rayl’s mouth, which never misses a chance to tease Eugene, caught Eugene’s words in his ear…

“What, did you just feel sorry?”

“You’re noisy.”

“Can I tell Yerine? You called her a fool but then you felt sorry.”

“Shut up if you don’t want to talk forever.”

“Don’t be shy.”

Rayl giggled and talked to Eugene.

“I wish Eugene could be more honest.”

“It’s none of your business.”

“That’s too much.”

Rayl sighed as he put his hand in his pocket.

There was a touch of a folded chocolate wrapper on the tip of his finger.

It was the chocolate in question that contained the love potion, which was collected for the ingredient test.

Some of the samples were collected in his pockets.

In his opposite pocket, there was a small medicine bottle with a green liquid in it. It was an antidote to love potion.

“By the way, aren’t you tired after the Battle class? I still can’t get used to it.”

“How can you not get used to it? That’s going to get you in trouble.”

Eugene said with a frown.

“If we go to the palace in the future, there will be endless real-battle situations.”

“Okay, okay. But if I don’t charge my sugar-level after, I’ll be squalid all day.”

The words have already been thrown.

All he had to do was execute it.

Rayl calmly took the chocolate out of his pocket and put it on his hand.

“Come on, Eugene, have some. Eating is better than not eating, after all.”

“I don’t need it.”

Eugene frowned and refused, taking a step back.

“Come on, don’t be like that, accept my sincerity. This is really delicious.”

“It’s okay, you can have it’”

After all, Eugene Ace was not an easy opponent.

‘Let’s change our strategy.’

Rayl immediately made a sad expression and sent a tearful gaze toward Eugene.

“This is… this is really delicious.”

However, Eugene turned his back and didn’t even look at Rayl’s hand.

“This is from my home, to share it with my friends.”

“……..”

“My brother made the shape of each stitch with his brackish hands.”

“Oh, okay! I’ll eat it.”

When Eugene snatched the chocolate from his hand, Rayl secretly smiled with remorse.

Eugene, who peeled the chocolate wrapper with a hint of irritation, put the chocolate in his mouth.

Rayl smiled slightly at Eugene’s appearance.

‘Now, what will happen?’

Eugene chewed and swallowed the chocolate, and Rayl didn’t miss Adam’s neck moving.

“How does it taste?”

When asked indirectly, Eugene responded concisely.

“It’s delicious.”

At the words, Rayl smiled broadly.

Eugene definitely swallowed the chocolate completely.

“Hey, say my thanks to your brother.”

“Yeah, yeah. I told you it was delicious. I’ll tell him that.”

Symptoms of a person swallowing love potion include redness of the face, blank eyes, excessive heartbeat, and murmuring.

But Eugene, who looked down at the Rayl with his blue eyes, had nothing different than usual.

“Eugene, aren’t you a little hot?”

“Hot? No.

Eugene replied, frowning as if it was strange.

“Aren’t your heartbeats pounding unusually?”

Then, Eugene looked at Rayl with a suspicious look.

“No, why should my heartbeats be pounding now?”

“You’re saying no anyway, right?”

Eugene’s eyes, which looked at the Rayl as very strange, were unshaken.

With his usual sharp and clear eyes, Rayl was sure.

‘I knew it.’

The love potion didn’t work for Eugene either.

“If not, that’s fine.”

“Rayl Diamond, did you do something?”

Eugene, who is quick-witted, couldn’t just let go of this.

‘Oh, it’s a little dangerous.’

But it didn’t matter much.

At Eugene’s gaze, as he stares at himself, Rayl whistled and blew up.

“No way, I wouldn’t do that. I know you won’t leave me alone if I get caught.”

“I know that, but you’ve been playing weird tricks all this time.”

Eugene raised his voice and took a step in front of Rayl.

“You, be honest. What did you put in there?”

“I didn’t put anything in it.”

“Do you think your lies will work for me?”

In Eugene’s increasingly threatening eyes, Rayl crept back and thought to herself.

‘This guy is so quick-witted.’

“I really didn’t put it in. As you can see, there’s nothing wrong with you.”

“Not all magic potions work the moment you take them. Especially if it were you, you would have done something to keep yourself out of sight.”

“Eugene, I swear. I didn’t put anything in.”

“Then why did you smile so much?”

Rayl smiled nonchalantly and made excuses.

“That’s, I was just glad you enjoyed my brothers’ chocolate.”

“Is that really the only reason?”

“Hey, how many years have we been together and you don’t believe that?”

“I know what you’ve done with Jacqueline over the years, so I don’t believe you anymore.”

Eugene spoke with a sharp voice like an awl.

“That’s too much. Well, I didn’t put anything in.”

“Then you should try that chocolate in front of me.”

When Eugene said that, Rayl thought to himself.

‘I just bring chocolate with nothing in it just in case, but this is great.’

Thinking he wanted to bring it somehow, Rayl took out the remaining chocolate and peeled it off.

Then he put it in his mouth and rolled it slowly with his tongue.

Eugene did not miss any of the processes and looked closely at it.

“Now, I’ve swallowed it. Check my mouth.”

When Rayl opened her mouth, Eugene frowned and replied.

“Get rid of it. You don’t have to do that.”

“Yeah. Anyway, it’s okay, right? I didn’t put anything in it.”

Nevertheless, Eugene did not stop looking into the doubt.

“Didn’t you just prepare chocolate without anything and two chocolates with something in it?”

When asked the right question, Rayl clicked his tongue inside.

‘I don’t know he’s this persistent.’

“I doubt it no matter how much I look at it. What the hell are you doing–”

“Eugene.”

Eugene, who had been spitting out his words with a calm voice, stopped talking.

Rayl looked straight at Eugene and asked.

“Do you like Yerine that much?”
