      by Cristae Episode 045 The real mindset of a professional thief was on a completely different level from ordinary people.To pick a lock and take things while the headmaster and professors were inspecting the scene…Inside the glass flasks were potions of all colors. Ihan could feel the complex and diverse magic emanating from them.“But… what kinds of potions are these?”“I don't really know?”“…I see.”Come to think of it, Ratford was a professional thief, not a professional alchemist.He just grabbed…

      by Cristae For a while, there was only silence from the next room.Wondering if he’d said something wrong, Ihan asked hesitantly,“Did I say something wrong?”“No, no. I was just a little surprised. For a freshman… you’re really talented.”“I still got caught, though.”‘If you hadn’t been caught, you should be the headmaster, you madman…’That’s what the other was thinking.If the imperial anti-magic faction showed up, it was a major incident.The school’s most talented professors would have…

    • Episode 43 Cover
      by Cristae Ihan carefully tucked the outpass away in his bosom. His actions gave the sense that he was being cautious, as if afraid someone might snatch it from him.Professor Garcia and the skull headmaster thought the same thing to themselves.‘No one’s going to take it away …’Are you feeling alright?“Yes.”Good. In that case, now that you’ve received your rewards, you must receive your punishment as well.“……”Ihan looked at the headmaster in disbelief.The skull headmaster spoke as if it pained…

      by Cristae Episode 042The explosion of unrefined magic dealt a fatal blow to Garakse, who took a direct hit, but at the same time, it also shocked Ihan.Ihan was hit by a shock that shook his whole body and was blown backward.‘Ugh…!’It was a much stronger impact than when he had taken Alaralong’s sword strike head-on.Ihan regretted it.‘Did I put too much magic into it?!’He thought he needed to finish his opponent off for sure, so he put all his power into injecting magic, but an unforeseen result occurred…

      by Cristae Rare treasures like ancient relics were not easily obtained.And now, half-destroyed by a previous attack, it was plain to see it would be completely shattered if struck again.“Stop him! Protect the relic!”“I go veiled by night!”Ihan recited his spell.As he vanished into the darkness, the attackers ground their teeth.He’d blocked the attempt to kill the wizard, and now this priest brat was proving to be a real nuisance.“He can fight. He must be a battle priest assigned to guard the mage! I’ll…

    • Episode 40 Cover
      by Cristae The figure looked like an ordinary traveler, but he was by no means a normal one.No regular traveler would be standing in the middle of an empty imperial highway at dusk, blocking the road.A cloak and coat hid his body, but from his exposed face, a ferocious and menacing gaze radiated.The workers' voices grew harsher and more forceful.“Final warning! Identify yourself right now!”When there was no reply, the workers instantly fired their crossbows. With a harsh sound, the crossbow bolts shot…

    • Episode 39 Cover
      by Cristae There was a saying that when a person loses one sense, their other senses develop to compensate.But even taking that into account, the storeroom keeper’s senses were astonishing.How did he catch Ihan and Ratford even though he couldn’t see?‘Hearing? No. We didn’t make a sound. Smell? No way, not with all this junk in here. Could it be… does he have the ability to sense mana?’While Ihan debated whether to confront or flee, the storeroom keeper spoke again.“So it’s you, Headmaster. My…

      by Cristae ‘He’s a Black Turtle Tower student?’Ihan observed closely to see what the other boy was doing.The boy was a rat beastkin. He was short and slightly hunched, but his footsteps were so quiet they made almost no sound.Ihan suspected the boy had received special training.As old knight Alarlong had said, sometimes you could tell a person’s status by their gait.A knight’s steps, a mage’s steps, a hunter’s steps, a thief’s steps…And those footsteps were the steps of a thief.‘Rat beastkin…

      by Cristae “It worked.”He swore at the professor inwardly but didn’t show it on his face.That was what a seasoned graduate student was like.Ihan kept his expression neutral and bowed his head.“Thank you.”“There’s nothing to thank me for. You solved it with your own strength.”“……”Even though it was praise, Ihan felt a lump in his throat.Just now, Professor Voladi had really fired that bead at him with sincerity.If it had hit squarely, it would have at least cracked his bones.If he hadn’t…

    • Superstar 850 Cover
      by Cristae “Jun. You could seriously teach acting.” Director Wilma quietly spoke. On the set, Haley Rosie had begun acting—now fully immersed, a far cry from her earlier struggles. Her eyes, wide with surprise, flickered as if trying to measure the size of the massive wolf in front of her. Her feet hesitated in fear, and her mouth fell open as she took a deep breath. But then—she realized the presence before her was Theo. Because in those large yellow eyes, there was familiarity. A smile spread…
    • Superstar 849 Cover
      by Cristae At that moment, Director Wilma blinked in surprise—then smiled and said, “It’s fine, Hailey. Not bad at all.” Seojun, sitting off to the side, also nodded. Considering she had been worried just moments ago about not being able to immerse herself in the role, she did well. Of course, Hailey Rosie herself didn’t seem to think so. “Hoo…” At Wilma’s decision to reshoot, Hailey let out a light breath and stared again—no, glared—at the green ball hanging from a stick held by…

      by Cristae Hearing his friend laugh through the phone, Jack Smith chuckled softly in return. "That cat is Molly?" It had taken him a moment to remember, but Jack suddenly recalled that the witch’s cat appeared in the original novel Eclipse, the source material for the film his friend was working on. —Yeah. There are two more: Lily and Bella. Seojun answered with a smile from the screen. The phone must’ve been propped up somewhere—he was using both hands to pet cat Jack, and the way he did it…

      by Cristae “The battle was brutal. It was worse because my father, the strongest werewolf in Rayfield, wasn’t there. They fought for two full days before they finally repelled the enemies, leaving behind countless casualties.” It was a story Theo had been hearing since before he could even understand words. The wolves had told young Theo every bloody detail of that day—severed limbs, blood spraying everywhere, the metallic stench filling the air, the groans of dying family members, and the cold chill of…
    • Superstar 846 Cover
      by Cristae Oh… As filming progressed, the assistant director and crew—who had been worried Seojun might be sick—were now too busy being impressed. “I heard he can switch his acting on and off, but it’s like he actually has a switch.” “Right?” Because of cat Bella’s outtakes or to shoot from other angles, the scene where “Theo is in pain and gradually recovers” had to be filmed several times. And each time, Seojun Lee acted as though someone had flipped a switch—perfectly showing…
    • Superstar 845 Cover
      by Cristae A short while ago. Before filming began, Seojun was reviewing his script one last time. Sitting in his chair and studying the script, Seojun looked utterly serious. As always, the staff either stepped out of the waiting room or remained quiet. There are dogs like that. Dogs that suddenly fall ill once they find a home. Their owner thinks they’ve done something wrong, but that’s not it. The dogs simply realized something. That it’s okay to be sick when they’re with this…

      by Cristae After breakfast. The witch, the werewolf, and the black cat gathered in the living room. “It’s fine. You don’t need to give anything.” Watching Molly, who had somehow circled back to demanding Theo’s claws as payment, and Theo hesitating, modern-minded Claire spoke firmly. “Why not? If we had werewolf claws, we could make something amazing, Claire!” “Pulling out claws hurts.” Claire shuddered when she saw Theo fiddling with his fingernails. “We don’t need fur or…

      by Cristae "What is it that you want to request?" To lighten the mood, Claire asked Theo. He looked startled at first, then let out a sigh of relief and began to speak. "I'm under a spell." "A spell?" Claire and Molly looked at Theo. Theo fidgeted with his mug as if feeling awkward. "Or maybe I should say… a curse." "A curse…" Claire's eyes widened. Right. If there were magic and witches and werewolves, then curses surely existed too. There were always people full of jealousy,…

      by Cristae "Come in." Perhaps because she had done it once before, allowing the man to enter the house felt easier. The man, who had been fiddling with the green thread bracelet around his wrist, carefully pushed the wooden gate at Claire’s words. He flinched for a moment, worried flames might flicker, but the magic stayed still. Claire, who had been holding her breath and watching, was relieved to see the man enter without issue. "Do you have clothes to change into?" "…No. I don't." "Then…

      by Cristae Meow— "Shh. Stay still, Bella." Meooow— Bella meowed discontentedly at her guardian's words. Well, considering she'd been roaming freely outdoors and was now suddenly told to get inside a cage, it made sense that she felt stifled. "But this is outside, so you can't come out. You'll disturb the shoot and might get lost." If someone told her to go find a cat that had escaped on a large, dangerous Hollywood set, she might just faint. At her guardian’s firm words, Bella, who had been…
    • Superstar 840 Cover
      by Cristae “Okay! Cut!” Morning filming wrapped, and after lunch, preparations began for the next shoot. Seo-jun arrived on set for his afternoon scene. “Welcome, Jun.” “Hello.” As Seo-jun greeted the staff, a soft meow made him look down. A black cat stood at his feet. “So it’s Bella today. Hello, Bella.” Meow— Seo-jun scooped her up, gently cradling the feline who had worked hard all morning. He also exchanged greetings with her handler. ‘Jack was here…
