‘It’ll turn out fine.’

Baek Seo-jin walked out of the exam grounds feeling relieved. He had given his all, leaving no regrets. Judging by the reactions of the judges and the awestruck murmurs around him, he wasn’t being arrogant—objectively, his performance was likely the best in Kangin Academy’s history.

As he exited, he spotted Han Se-hee and Lee Ha-yeon waiting for their turns. Their exam numbers hadn’t come up yet, and they were standing in the waiting area.

Se-hee, stay strong. You’ve got this!

*

Ha-yeon, don’t worry. If you don’t pass, I doubt anyone else will.

Sending them both words of encouragement through a quick message, Seo-jin waved lightly in their direction before stepping aside. While he could stay to cheer them on, he decided against it. His presence might only complicate things, not just for Se-hee but for Ha-yeon as well.

As the heir to the Angel Guild, Lee Ha-yeon couldn’t afford to be embroiled in any unnecessary scandals, especially right before her exam. Such distractions would make it impossible for her to perform with a clear mind. It was better for him to step back and let them focus.

With the exam over, Seo-jin contemplated whether to head home or wait nearby until his friends finished. His thoughts were interrupted by the sight of two figures standing in the distance.@@novelbin@@

A man with jet-black hair stood tall, exuding an air of authority, while next to him was a stunning woman with long, indigo-tinted hair, her posture poised and elegant.

* Se-hee, can we meet for a moment? It’s important.

* Ha-yeon, I need to talk to you about something important. Please come.
