Chapter 77

"Yuna? In Japanese, it should mean 'night,' right?"

"You... don't even know her?"

Compared to the fans around her who were in a frenzy, Fujibayashi Kaoru was still able to maintain her composure. But it was precisely because of this that she heard Levi's incredibly unbelievable mutterings.

"Would it be strange?"

"......"

The girl did not answer. Even Okazaki Tomoya, who was right next to her, looked at Levi as if he were an ancient creature standing before him.

Stare...

Not to mention the younger Fujibayashi sister, who was secretly peeking over from a couple of seats away, and Asahina Mikuru, who had been invited by Levi, also joined in the commotion ungratefully. Her deep, calm eyes, unobstructed by glasses, seemed even more difficult to resist.

"Ah, I'm a teacher, you know. Do you think I stayed up all night preparing lesson plans and neglected many important things because of someone? Class representative of 3-A."

Levi looked heartbroken, almost shedding a few tears, but his acting was clearly not as skilled as Momoe's. Kaoru and Okazaki's gazes shifted from surprise to disdain as they watched his performance. Realizing this, Levi gave up and went all out.

"Alright, I'm just an out-of-touch old man who knows nothing about trends and gets laughed at on the street! So what! I'm mature and proud of it! Hmm?"

"Keep it down, idiot!"

"Moron, do you want us to be thought of as fools too!"

Seeing that people who didn't know what was going on were already looking over, Okazaki and Kaoru quickly tried to stop Levi from going crazy. Fortunately, before they could come up with a way to knock him out without being accused of assaulting a teacher, Asahina, as a junior, tugged on Levi's sleeve and successfully diverted his attention.

"Yuna, eighteen years old, female. She started her entertainment career at seventeen and, in less than a year, became the most popular idol in this world due to her unique and superior appearance and an irreplicable special way of conveying information. It is said that her personality is also a trait that is generally more easily accepted by intelligent life forms on this planet. Her origin, nationality, and ethnicity are unknown. According to the analysis of her physical composition, she has an energy structure different from that of life forms on this planet, but due to the lack of close and prolonged contact, no definitive data can be provided."

After this long explanation, the short-haired girl returned to her doll-like state, her small body deeply buried in her seat, seemingly unaware of the twisted expressions on the faces of the two listeners besides Levi.

"Long... Asahina, what are you saying?"

Levi, the only one who could understand Asahina's way of speaking, was the only one who could make sense of it. Kaoru's face was twisted in confusion; her brain might not have the ability to piece together such jumbled words, and thinking any further would cause it to crash.

"Her Japanese is still not very good. The gist is that 'Yuna is an eighteen-year-old female idol with a beautiful appearance, an excellent singing voice, and a friendly personality, but her background is mysterious.' Does that make sense?"

"You really like hanging out with weird girls, don't you?"

Leaving Kaoru, whose brain was about to smoke, Okazaki nudged Levi with his elbow, teasingly.

"Can I interpret your words as 'the student council president is a weirdo' and tell this to Rin?"

Levi gave him a disdainful look and dropped a bomb.

"Please don't ruin my life! I beg you, teacher!"

If there was one person with the most authority in the high school of Second Middle School, it was definitely not the old and frail principal or any other faculty member. Diligent and serious students admired her excellent grades; innocent and imaginative girls were captivated by her noble and elegant manners; and boys, who were in the early stages of romantic infatuation, were lost in her graceful and beautiful appearance. The current student council president was such a highly popular and influential figure among her peers.

Thinking about how terrifying the scene would be if his words were exaggerated and spread by Levi, Okazaki made his most sincere gesture and bowed in apology.

Fortunately, Levi's attention was not on him. After he bowed, Levi turned his gaze back to the stage. Okazaki, looking at the idol slowly appearing on the stage, felt genuinely grateful.

"Is this the mysterious beauty?"

The beautiful melody reached Levi's ears, and a more captivating voice gradually filled the venue. The fans' initial excitement turned into focused attention, and even Fujibayashi Kaoru, who had been confused by Asahina's explanation, gave up thinking and immersed herself in the music.

Her right eye was green, and her left eye was blue. The unique dual-colored eyes added a mysterious touch to her dignified face. Her short, shoulder-length hair was tied into a thin braid that reached her legs with a red ribbon at the back, adding a touch of liveliness to her serene beauty.

A white, low-cut, tight-fitting top was connected in the middle by a transparent chiffon with an unknown pattern, and her extremely short blue pants had a skirt-like hem that looked as if it had been torn. The fans saw this as a highly creative and sexy outfit, but it made Levi inexplicably think of its practicality in battle. This was not just due to his long experience in combat; the way the idol appeared on stage had already made him think in that direction.

To the fans, the figure emerging from the dark part of the stage was just an illusion created by lighting effects to achieve a sudden visual appearance. But having lived with Evi for a long time, he was extremely familiar with the cause of such phenomena—magic!

Levi, who had lived in this world for a long time and understood its reality, had long become accustomed to various strange phenomena and the people who created them. Magicians and mages were now part of his daily life, and even if he suddenly learned that a young woman had mastered one of the five great magics, it would at most make him marvel.

However, whether it was the magicians of this world or those from the magic world, they all adhered to the principle of not interfering with the lives of ordinary people. They often used disguises, such as certain teachers in Mahora, or like Rin, lived ordinary lives outside of home. The methods of disguise varied, but the purpose was always to conceal the fact that they had supernatural abilities. It was hard to imagine how playing a highly exposed and risky role like an idol singer would help hide one's identity. The most dangerous place is the safest? Levi always scoffed at this idea; it was a desperate and risky strategy, not something to be followed as a daily rule.

Moreover, for someone skilled in magic, becoming a beloved idol was not difficult. Using simple illusions to change into a look that most people liked and altering their voice could easily win over fans. But for a magician who didn't need money or fame, what use was the adoration of fans? Therefore, anyone with a bit of ability had no need to do so.

If this Yuna on stage was not an anomaly, like a character in a novel who received guidance from a hidden master or self-taught and knew nothing about the rules of ability users, then her motivation for standing on the stage was intriguing.

Levi narrowed his eyes and surveyed the stage. He suddenly realized that bringing Asahina to this concert today might yield unexpected results.
