Chapter 48 – Rule 20. The Leader Relies on the Vice Leader (1)
I rode the rift created by Geumyang to my home.
‘Amazing.’
I was astonished at how such precise coordinate settings were possible.
Teleporting from the training ground to my home was still beyond my capabilities. Even short-range teleportation was not something I could do freely.
“Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. But kid, I need to wash up.”
Huh?
“Didn’t you wash up yesterday?”
“I have a spring in my labyrinth, so I can wash there. But I prefer to wash with warm water here.”
“Don’t undress here.”
“Why not?”
I firmly stopped Geumyang, who was taking off her top, revealing her slender abdomen.
In the end, I had to teach her how to undress and wash in the shower room.
Geumyang claimed she had learned all this by observing my daily life, clicking her tongue and saying, “You’re a fussy one.”

“I’ll emphasize it again: don’t expose yourself in front of others.”
“Ha, you’re something else...”
Geumyang smirked, closed her eyes, and shrugged her shoulders, seemingly more troubled than I was.
“I do have that level of common sense. But kid, aren’t we practically one and the same? It shouldn’t matter if I undress in front of you...”
“Don’t undress in front of me either.”
“?”
“I’ll leave new clothes here. Wash up and come out.”
“Alright, fine. What a bother.”
Perhaps tired of persuading me, Geumyang reluctantly agreed and went into the shower room.
After washing up, Geumyang came out wearing a white T-shirt. Since it was my shirt, it was oversized, covering her groin with the hem.
“Whew...”
She plopped down on the sofa with a wet towel around her neck.
The living room became humid, and the scent of shampoo and body wash wafted from Geumyang.
She smiled contentedly as if melting away.
“I feel refreshed...”
When you look closely, she has her cute moments.
“I’m going to wash up too.”
“Hey, come here for a moment.”
“?”
“Closer.”
I approached Geumyang, leaned forward, and bowed my head. She placed her hand on top of my head.
Ssss.
A gentle magic flowed into me.
The fatigue built up in my magic circuits dissipated, bringing a sense of calm.
It was like receiving a massage that relieved my body’s fatigue.
‘Oh, what’s this?’
With the fatigue in my magic circuits gone, I felt no resistance to using my magic. It felt like the stiffness had eased.
“I feel less tired now...”
I said, rotating my shoulders and expressing my amazement.
A turquoise current flowed along the back of my hand.
The fatigue in my magic circuits was definitely gone.
“It’s similar to a healing spell. I’ll do it occasionally when you overwork yourself during training.”
“Thanks, whatever it is.”
“And.”
Geumyang pointed at me.
“From tomorrow, use teleportation to commute to school.”
A golden glint flashed in her eyes.
“Setting a small goal in your daily life and using your abilities frequently will help a lot. For example.”
Crack.
Geumyang created a small rift in the air and put her arm through it.
A rift appeared near the table, and her arm reached out and grabbed the remote control.
Swish! Geumyang pulled her arm out of the rift and closed it. The remote control was now in her hand.
“Like this. Especially for commuting, setting a destination and using your ability will be very beneficial.”
“That’s really convenient...”
“That’s what controlling space is all about.”
Geumyang answered with a triumphant smile.
“But you shouldn’t rely too much on your abilities.”
“Hmm...”
“Why? Is there a problem?”
Practicing teleportation was good, but...
‘Baek-seo is the issue.’
I often commuted with Baek-seo.
Even though I had been restraining myself lately due to the rumors among the disciplinary committee members, I still occasionally commuted with her.
‘Still... mastering my abilities should come first.’
I didn’t have to commute with her all the time.
I needed to set my priorities straight.
Well, I could show Baek-seo my unique ability and explain it to her.
“I was just thinking about something. I’ll do it.”
“Good.”
“By the way, can I introduce you to someone?”
Geumyang immediately gave me a suspicious look.
“...Are you talking about Oh Baek-seo?”
“You figured it out right away.”
Geumyang was someone I would have to be closely associated with, and she was essentially a ‘female.’ No, fundamentally, she wasn’t an ordinary person, so perhaps I should say a female creature. Anyway.
I wanted to introduce her to Baek-seo in advance to prevent any misunderstandings or conflicts.
“I don’t mind, but...”
“You look like you don’t like it.”
Geumyang made a distasteful face.
“Let’s postpone meeting her. I don’t really want to encounter her.”
“Why?”
“There are reasons.”
Why is that?
Could it be that she also has some shyness?
I nodded. It was important to respect the person’s wishes in such matters.
“Understood. Next time then.”
“Sure. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now.”
Feeling burdened by the thought of being introduced to someone, Geumyang quickly stood up from the sofa and looked at me.
“See you tomorrow.”
She waved her hand with a graceful farewell.
“Rest well.”
Crack!
Geumyang created a rift in the air and disappeared through it. The rift vanished right after.
She had returned to her labyrinth, her so-called ‘home.’
Silence returned to the house.
‘Maybe I should drink some water before washing up.’
I headed to the kitchen.
“?”
