Chapter 72
Starting today, I'm attending the Academy.
After the recent group battle, Hanseong Academy, which had been branded as a Villain Academy, came under direct management by the Association.
In the process, they cut out all the students who had basically snuck in illegally.
Of course, the Dean had accepted them just to fill seats, but since it was Sin Day and all, they purged all the privileged kids.
So I have a question.
"Why wasn't Firebat fired?"
The students burst out laughing at my question.
No seriously, I'm genuinely curious. She finds classes annoying so she just dumps everything on specialists in each field, and I've never seen her actually do any instructing herself.
"The fuck you say, brat?"
"Well, it's true. I've never seen you do anything instructor-like. You dumped the Kim Seung-joon incident on me, messed up the introductions, don't say anything when students openly smoke in the training grounds. You're always setting self-study and leaving."
Come to think of it, this bitch really sucks as an instructor. Why is she even still at this Academy? She'd be better suited to just beating people up in back alleys.
"Well, we need to maintain a certain number of instructors."
"You're being awfully honest."
"Plus I'm strong. That's why I got put in charge of Class A."
"What?"
Like, I know Firebat is strong, but shouldn't an elite class have an elite instructor? Why give it to this crude woman who's nothing but brute force?
I was about to say it out loud but kept my mouth shut since it'd be a pain if she pulled out her bat.
"Now that all the kids who got in through parents' influence or just to fill seats are gone, only the skilled ones are left, right?"
"Yes."
"Do those skilled kids really need teaching? They should just be sent straight to guilds as active Hunters. In other words, there's no real need to teach them the Academy basics. Hell, just look at you - guilds are drooling over you. I'd rather just send you off."
"Ah, so from your perspective, you got assigned an easy class that doesn't need actual teaching."
A very practical logic - since it's a class of only strong students, there's no need to put in effort teaching them.
I want to argue, but since A class really is just strong students now, her logic isn't entirely wrong.
"It sounds bad when you put it that way."
"That's why oppa hates you."
Actually completely unrelated, but Firebat absolutely loves Yoo Jin-seok. Despite her disgusting personality, she wants to act all cutesy around Jin-seok.
She's definitely heading for old maid status.
"Ever been hit on the ass with a bat?"
"Oppa hates unjust violence the most, right?"
Kim Ji-hye lowered the bat she was about to raise at my words.
"Well, anyway, today we're filling the empty spots through special admission with new students. Since Hanseong came under major Association management due to Sin Day, we brought in some foreign students as a special case. I hope everyone gets along well."
Firebat dropped that bombshell announcement and brought in three female students from outside.
Two had black hair, one was blonde.
I feel like I know who they are.
"I'm Shinohara Kotone from Kumamoto. There's nothing I particularly dislike, and I like tomatoes. I'm very interested in Korea. Please take care of me."
Shinohara Kotone?
"Did she say Shinohara?"
"Like the Shinohara Shogunate?"
The students whisper among themselves. That's how famous the Shinohara name is.
But Shinohara Kotone? There was no such character in the original.
Well, there was Shinohara Mariko, so there could be a Shinohara Kotone too. But she definitely didn't appear at the Academy.
Wait. No. Could she be Shinohara Yuzuki?
"I'm Rosemary. My hobby is collecting dolls, I love dolls, and I hate anything that isn't cute. Please take care of me, Korean friends."
"...I'm Ping Tao from China. I belong to the Zhonghua Guild of China. I enrolled at Korea's Hanseong Academy to broaden my horizons. Please take care of me."
Sounds like a beer name. I almost cracked a joke but held back. She's a heroine after all.
"Well, we have quite a few foreign students this time. You all know these students are famous in their respective countries. I hope everyone gets along well."
Looking at the transfer students who entered the Academy today, I was dazed for a while.
Assuming Shinohara Kotone is Shinohara Yuzuki, three heroines just blatantly showed up together.
The Doll Master Rosemary. The Yellow River's Champion Ping Tao.
Doll Master Rosemary literally has the ability to control dolls, and Yellow River's Champion Ping Tao is a heroine who uses an axe.
Rosemary is cute but creepy. Ping Tao is a brainless girl with a bit of a Chinese supremacist mindset.
In other words, a creepy heroine and a brainless heroine.
"Holy shit."
These girls aren't supposed to show up here. Rosemary and Ping Tao do come to the Academy, but not now.
Is it because Sin Day appeared early?
Even if I messed up matching the original timeline with reality, having foreign heroines all come to the Academy at once makes no sense.
Moreover.
I turned to look at the pure-looking girl sitting by the window.
With shoulder-length hair and well-defined features. The typical Japanese beauty.
She called herself Shinohara Kotone, but she's definitely Shinohara Yuzuki.
Why am I so sure? I have intuition. She feels like Yuzuki. What I'm thinking matches exactly with how she's described in the novel.
Above all, unlike having doubts about Mariko who exists as Shinohara's retainer, I got a clear feeling that this woman is Shinohara Yuzuki.
I can be even more certain once I see her abilities.
I don't particularly want to approach her right now anyway.
"Geez, stop staring. Are you going to tell mommy? Aren't you sorry to Rei?"
"Ah, yeah."
If I look away even a little, Reina or the others interfere. Above all, Reina keeps bringing up Rei, making me feel like a trash mom cheating on her kid.
No, strictly speaking, Rei is just a magical life form created from merged magic power.
It's not like I'm planning to fuck them all. Though I want to. But Shinohara Yuzuki is from Japan's ruling family, the creepy doll master has a doll fetish which is kinda weird, and the beer girl with Chinese supremacy and nationalism isn't even worth mentioning.
When you fuck up with Japan's ruling class, you tend to end up in chains. Given her family background. I probably wouldn't lose to Shinohara, but I'm not a stupid Yong-yong who makes things unnecessarily complicated.
This time I glanced at Choi Shia who came to the Academy as Choi Si-woo(?).
Choi Shia's condition is unstable.
They say her lust is getting more uncontrollable. In other words, the black dragon Si-woo, the original owner of the body, is sleeping inside Shia.
With that to deal with, I don't have time for other heroines.
Since they're heroines anyway, those three's episodes shouldn't be too dangerous when I see them.
If there is one, it'd be Ping Tao.
That bitch is stupid to a fault, and due to her Chinese ideology, she's definitely going to be a loner. Since Japan is trying to get involved in Korea's Sin Day, they're trying to get involved too.
If they did it openly at a government level, there'd be talk of interference in internal affairs, so they probably sent Ping Tao under the guise of studying abroad.
Those three are undoubtedly infiltrating this Academy. They're all the youngest Hunters and already quite skilled.
Yeah. Just like that.
I still have enemies left so I can't pay attention to those bitches.
First I need to prevent Sin from appearing at the Academy. I should block it first, if only because of those bitches.
Just as I decided to draw the line-
"Miss Yoo Eun-ha?"
Shinohara Yuzu- no, Kotone approached me.
"Ah, um. Miss Shinohara?"
"We're fellow students. Please call me by my first name comfortably."
The problem is that this student is from Japan's ruling family.
Still, I have to pretend not to know. If I act like I know her identity, Yuzuki will be wary of me.
For now I should pretend not to know and draw appropriate boundaries.
"Then call me Eun-ha comfortably too. But why?"
"I just want to be friends with Eun-ha."
"With me?"
If she means consensual fucking, I'll positively accept and make time even if I don't have any to taste Japan's finest sushi girl.
But that's probably not it. Given Shinohara Yuzuki's personality, she's not the type to give up her body easily.
"Yes. After all, you're the one who directly extracted the Fragment of Sin, right? I'm curious."
"Curious about what?"
"I heard in the news that the fragment was the size of a bean. But I heard you extracted it precisely. I'm curious about that swordsmanship."
Ah, now I get it.
Shinohara Yuzuki has abilities related to swordsmanship.
She has such a samurai vibe that she feels like the quintessential Japanese character. That's why she's questioning how I extracted the fragment.
This isn't simply about wanting to form a relationship with me as students. Rather than human to human, since she's Kotone who infiltrated Korea regarding Sin, she probably needs some information.
"It's nothing special. My brother is a Divine Sword. I learned some swordsmanship under him."
I mixed in an appropriate lie.
If I couldn't extract it, I was planning to burn the whole thing. Thanks to the God of War giving me swordsmanship at the right time, I was able to extract the fragment and hand it over to the Association.
"Still, without your own basic capabilities, learning swordsmanship would be meaningless."
I realized anew how different the original and reality really are.
That Shinohara Yuzuki, the woman who's now Kotone - I thought she just had few words and a pure vibe. But that wasn't it.
"Blah blah blah."
When sword talk comes up, she chatters like crazy. In other words, she's similar to Si-woo who becomes obsessed when focused on one field.
After Firebat left, during self-study time, Yuzuki talked all day.
Because of that, Reina and Han Soo-ji felt left out.
Not my fault. At least Ping Tao and Rosemary didn't particularly try talking to me. Though Rosemary seems interested, glancing at me occasionally.
Speaking of which, I should use Si-woo. Need to supply magic stones too.
"Si-woo. Come with me."
"Yes- ah, okay."
"Going to play with Si-woo? What about us?"
Han Soo-ji and Reina made pitiful puppy faces. But no can do. I'm the boss and you're the underlings after all. I do what I want.
"Go play rock paper scissors or something."
Can't distinguish between Shia and Si-woo at the Academy. The Academy students only know Si-woo became a woman, not about the dual personality.
Since Reina and Han Soo-ji know Si-woo's situation, they didn't make a fuss about me taking her separately.
I took her to the internet broadcast club room.
"You say lust keeps acting up?"
"It's not lust, it's Si-woo. Master."
"No, it's ultimately lust. Anyway come here. I'll give you magic stones."
While I can handle lust, to suppress it better I need to create favorable conditions for myself.
Si-woo will probably try to use Sin's power to fuck me.
I hugged her tight and brought my face close to kiss her.
*chu*
I created magic stones inside my body and passed them mouth to mouth.
"Hehehe. Hihihi♥"
"Crazy bitch. You're dazed like a drug addict. Are my magic stones that good?"
When I lightly touched below, her vagina was soaking wet. Seeing how much it's dripping, I wonder if she's incontinent.
Choi Shia fell completely into pleasure while eating the stones made from my demonic power. In another sense, you could say she's in a state of drug addiction.
I plan to keep getting her addicted like this and make her body more dependent on me. Then when Si-woo awakens and tries to mount me as lust, I'll clearly establish the hierarchy.
This is my big picture.
"Hehee. I love you master♥"
"Suddenly getting super horny. Hey, spread them."
Her stupid expression pleased me. Fucking at the Academy would be fun too. Just as I was about to kiss her and bend her over the sofa-
"Yoo Eun-ha!"
"Ah fuck."
What kind of Firebat-like person is interrupting me?
"Do that stuff after school ends. Want to advertise that you're les at school?"
I wonder what made Firebat come looking for me in the club room.
"What's an old maid talking about. Want to lose your virginity to a vagina instead of a penis?"
Still a virgin herself, tch. Should I do her?
"Geez, this kid is getting worse. *sigh* Whatever."
"I was getting in the mood, are you happy interrupting? Fine. Why'd you call me?"
Yong-yong is very pissed off right now.
Can't you tell just by looking? I'm getting wet down there trying to fuck Shia, and this damn old maid had to call me.
"I want you to get along well with Rosemary. But don't rub on her. This involves diplomatic issues too."
Get along well with Rosemary?
That creepy Yankee doll master girl?
Well looking just at her face she's totally doll-like so it's not impossible.
Of course, Firebat doesn't seem to understand what I mean by "getting along well."
"Fuck I'm gonna rub all over her."
"No, why are you so twisted? Even if it's your rebellious phase, openly fucking at the Academy..."
So what if I do, fuck.
"Keep quiet or I might fuck you too."
"*sigh* Fine. I already talked to Rosemary too. Handle it yourself."
Shouldn't she normally bring Rosemary herself?
Or that bitch should've come looking for me herself.
Gotta treat a creepy woman creepily.
