chapter 11
11 – 1. Academy (11)
#11
My eyes opened naturally. The light outside the window was still early in the morning.
“…Ah”
When I got up, I lost all my strength and my stomach groaned as if it were turning upside down. Furthermore, when my head hurt like it would break, my first thought was a hangover. It was a terrible hangover that even my body couldn’t control.
I’d rather feel less unfair if I drank. Since I hadn’t had such a small illness after waking up, the pain was even greater.
As I raised my magic power and wrapped it around my body, the black ink began to creep up over my body.
“Oh, what a f*cking surprise”
Perhaps it was because of the temporary physical strengthening with magical powers, my strength returned to my body, but I was even more startled and fell off the bed. But I didn’t get sick. I was able to check my body as I stumbled up from my seat.
The clothes I was wearing were stained black, and where there was only skin, there were cotton clothes that were tight like leggings. When I pulled it, it was only then that I could figure out what had happened by seeing how it stretched beyond the scope of elasticity.
“This is the shadow”
Since it’s a method of using mana, it seems that I unknowingly used it while wearing it. When the mana around the arm was released, the shadow fell as if it were flowing down.
As I wrapped magic around my hand and caught it, the shadow that escaped from my grip like water stuck to me like clay. If you increase it, it increases as much as you increase it, and if you subtract magic power, it flows down again.
I consciously pulled out the shadow that was only surrounded by the shadow, but the magic of the body remained the same, but only the shadow disappeared like water.
I pondered why my body was so weak and my head hurt while stretching my stiff body from muscle pain.
“…Have I eaten?”
Now that I think about it, I haven’t even eaten. My body just hurt. If you roll like that and starve for several days and still don’t get sick, that’s strange. Rather, it is a miracle that he has not collapsed so far. This pain is the body’s appeal to replenish itself with nutrients.
Growl
As soon as I realized I was hungry, my stomach started beating. I opened the refrigerator that was installed in the dormitory from the beginning, but there was no food, not even bottled water. I hurriedly turned on the sink to wash my face, quenched my thirst with tap water, and changed my clothes.
“…Oh, it’s wet”
Maybe it was because I washed and hung it out while washing, the shirt was so dry that I couldn’t wear it anymore. I had no choice but to lay my shirt down and put on the hoodie I had worn when I first arrived at this dormitory, and put on a blanket over it.
When I came out and exhaled, the still cool morning air filled my lungs.
“If I had just worn it out, I would have caught a cold.”
Even an Awakener can catch a cold. The higher the strength ability, the higher the strength of the body, so the probability of getting sick is reduced, and you get better quickly, but you get sick and get sick normally.
“The canteen…The lights are off”
I took a quick look, but it was too early, so no place was open. When I turned on the power to the device that was turned off, Ban Tae-woong’s text messages, phone bombs, and communication and progress reports through the line came to mind, so I chewed them up and ignored them.
First of all, you should fill your stomach first.
After putting aside all the likes and dislikes and searching for the nearest restaurant, I was able to find a 24-hour family restaurant within a 10-minute walk.
“Hmm”
A 5-minute cut would be possible if I moved with magic, but it was annoying to move. The Academy High School restaurant is also located inside the city, so isn’t it a narrowly acceptable range? I snapped my fingers with condensed magical energy and called out the name, recalling the image of the target in my head.
“Grawl”
Pain!
“Kong!!”
The light burst and a large wolf appeared. The color of the dark red hair, which seemed to permeate faintly into the pure white fur, fluttered in the wind. He accurately recognized my intentions and sat down so that I could easily ride on his back.
“I might fall over, so if I fix it with this…”
I raised my magic power and pulled the shadow under me to create a saddle that would hold me and Growl. I thought it would be useful later, so I made the design painstakingly and kept the strength moderately.
The moment I landed on Graul’s back, I manipulated my magic power and fixed my body to Graul’s body. It’s already cold, but if you move quickly, it will be colder, so if you make a rough robe and put it on, you’re ready to move.
“Let’s go”
“Kong!”
As soon as he got up straight, he gained altitude in an instant. Due to the height beyond my imagination and the fact that my feet had fallen, I felt a sense of tension as if my whole body was being pressed down. When Growl started to move with his feet, his body naturally tensed up, but soon after, the tension quickly disappeared and only a mysterious impression took place.
Tadak! Tadak!!
“Wow”
Is this how people on horseback feel? My peripheral vision stretched like an afterimage and passed quickly, but the approaching cold wind was refreshing. It was a really strange and fresh feeling that was different from riding in a car. Perhaps because there is no worry of falling, the power that entered the body was naturally released.
“Dump!”
“Ugh!?”
I judged that I had adapted to a certain extent, and when Growl kicked his leg hard, it started to jump out to a level different from the speed I thought was fast. Simple skills alone can never achieve this speed. This level of speed comes out because the high muscle power is solidly supported.
The use of a pure body that was completely different from me who was busy strengthening my body with magical powers naturally brought a smile to my lips.
As Growl climbed the building and jumped high, he saw the glint of the morning sun slowly peeking in from the other side, which had been hidden by the tall building.
A little bit of drowsiness from that sight has gone. I was a bit nervous at first, but now the tension is so thrilling that I feel like an idiot.
In my previous life, I saw people who enjoyed extreme sports and wondered why they did such a thing, but once you experience this, you will only feel lukewarm compared to other things. Seeing how I reacted to such trivial things, I could clearly feel that I was less drained in my previous life.
“Surely fast”
I arrived at my destination in less than a minute, removed the shadow, brushed Graul’s head once, and sent him back. Thanks to that, I had free time, so I had time to eat slowly.
‘I’m lucky today’
The family restaurant was very quiet because it was time. After ordering mainly the food that came out the fastest from the unmanned machine, we designated a seat and sat down.
Dakkak
But the food I didn’t order was prepared across from me, not in front of me. Steak. It must have been a lot of work, and the thick noodles were well-marinated. At that appearance, saliva went down my throat. It tasted better because it was on an empty stomach.
Why is this being prepared here? Before I could question that fact, I frowned when I saw someone coming in from the entrance from afar.
“Oh, why are you making that face? Our cutie who chewed up my lovely contact”
A girl who seemed to be just about to shed her youthful looks sat in front of me as if it were natural, winking. At that action, my waist-deep platinum hair swayed and the sweet citrus scent tickled my nose.
She made her assertiveness as if she would not lose to the smell of her meat in front of her, obviously, and her brow furrowed at the sight of the aura approaching me.
“… Stop pretending to be cute because the food tastes bad, slut”
“Do you know that you are the only one who says such harsh things to me?”
“If you twist it, will you get rid of that strange energy and come back?”
At my words, she curled her golden eyes as if she was very excited. Far from disappearing, her golden aura became thicker and invaded her surroundings to the extent that her vision would turn round and round if she made a mistake.
‘Good luck is a b*tch’
She was in a bad mood. But as if she didn’t mind my situation, she naturally took up a fork and knife and started slicing her steak.
“Haam, uhm~”
She then began to tremble as she ate the steak she had cut into bite-size pieces as if to show off to me, who hadn’t had any food yet. The smell of her meat mixed with the sweet scent tickled her nose, and the sizzling sound of her oil whetted her appetite, as if it were clearly showing that it had just been grilled.
“How are you? Do you want to eat Can I have a bite?”
Once she picked up a piece of meat with her fork, she held it out in front of me. The smell of the meat approaching her nose made her mouth water. But her eyes were still fixed on her. She was full of the mind that she would only make fun of me.
I don’t like it because I feel like I’m playing with her when I eat this, and if I don’t eat it, she’ll keep teasing and harassing me like this until my food comes out. No reason. It’s just because she’s funny.
“Don’t you eat? Come on, ah~”
I didn’t like the soggy feeling inside the finely curved pupils. Still, I can’t let her go.
Just as I was convinced that Ban Tae-woong is the main character of this world, the woman in front of me is one of the few strongest people in this world who I think can never win. She looks so young, but in all of my past and present lives, I haven’t lived longer than the time of her toenails.
A being infinitely close to a god.
That is the justice I have given her. Perhaps because of the recent events, I didn’t like the appearance of the old man in front of me even more today. But beyond that, she had a lot of information to rip out of her.
It’s the same with this case, and it’s the same with the unknown god. More than anything else, a clue about the skill with the power of the stars is an urgent priority.
“…Ha”
I let out a short sigh and ate the meat, which was now too stretched out and stuck completely to my lips. The moment I put it in my mouth, the feast of rich gravy that exploded, the furrowed brow slightly loosened.
“Oh, I ate. Hi-Hi”
With a blushing smile, she deliberately opened her mouth so I could see her, put her fork on her tongue, sucked, and started eating her meat again. Her every action is full of love. However, I had to feel a different sense of excitement in her appearance.
Her heavy hips appearing like this means that something will happen with a high probability.
“The food you ordered is here.”
At that fact, the waiter appeared as if breaking the surrounding air, which is cooler than the night air at dawn, and began listing the food. It wasn’t all that I did. A full course that would only appear in a 3-star restaurant was prepared at once.
I turned my head to check with a glance, and sure enough, the clerk was a servant with a familiar face. In other words, she knew I was coming here and planned it ahead of time. After confirming that the food had been prepared and the attendant had left, I opened my mouth first.
“What’s up?”
“Of course I came here because I was worried about the Doctor. Do you know how worried I was when someone important to me went out of contact?”
“The Body”
At my voice, she laughed helplessly, put the finished plate aside, and looked around the course in front of me.
“The dungeon will run rampant in the near future. There will be so many, so many, that the size and quality of the monsters that came out cannot be compared to what was held on that day seven years ago.”
She started reciting the future like a fortune teller. It’s such a silly story. But the fact that it came out of her mouth makes it the truth.
No, even if something went wrong on the way, as long as it wasn’t a threat to the existence of the world, she would definitely make it happen even if she had to step forward. Because that’s how the distorted girl enjoys amusement.
“…Why are you telling me that?”
“There will be no victims. After all, what the Doctor has worked hard for day and night, literally cutting through his lifespan, will see the light of day. It would be natural to report to you, the person in charge, right?”
What she chose was clear soup with no ingredients.
It was just like her pupils that had transparency but emitted a soft golden light. She brought it in front of herself, took her first bite, and then, as if it were natural, she used what she had put on her mouth to shove her soup into her mouth.
“So what does that have to do with your appearance…”
“Now”
I was about to say something, but I kept my mouth shut. From her smiling at me as she looked at me, I heard her unspoken pressure that she would not answer unless she opened her mouth immediately.
“…”
“Come on. My arm is off.”
It is false. She doesn’t get tired of this and has overwhelming power that can kill me with just a glance. Even so, she thoroughly plays the weak. She insists on a slender figure and shows off her loveliness more than anyone else.
I realized that there was no point in pushing and pulling like this, so I accepted it without saying anything. It’s normal to be relieved by the cool feeling unique to the clear soup, but rather, I felt like I was out of breath.
“Did I tell you? He said he was worried about the doctor.”
“…I’m about to get caught up in it?”
“Yes”
She said assertively. She looked at me and smiled as if she were experiencing the future, and handed me the reopened soup, which continued until I emptied the contents of the plate.
“The Doctor will definitely get caught up in it. The man next to you, the one favored by the stars, will surely make it happen. The Doctor will be deeply hurt by that and will be caught up in the whirlpool of events in earnest. I don’t really want to see you suffer.”
Similarly, he pushed the finished plate aside and picked up other food to feed me.
It is something that is not often done between lovers, but she did it without any shame. I also proudly accepted them. There was no affection between the two of us. No, at least not for me.
“You know? I like you more than the Doctor thinks. It is no exaggeration to say that this is love.”
I snorted at the words she spilled as she gently hugged herself.
“Isn’t it just because you don’t want to see your favorite toy broken?”
“If you say that, then I must be a bad girl. It’s… Yes! Think of it as a girl’s shy romance.”
What she has is not human-to-human affinity. One-way love. Twisted love. Abnormal perversions. She whispers love to me just for ‘fun’.
“The girl is an asshole. If she’s grown old, why don’t she just live a decent life?”
“Ugh! Talking about your age to a lady is forbidden!”
“You go from being a girl to being a lady, and then you change for the worse.”
“Women are creatures like that. In a girl’s mind, age doesn’t matter.”
I couldn’t speak. It was polished, but there was no substance in the conversation. I felt a little dizzy from the exchange of conversations that seemed more beneficial to me alone behind a wall.
I felt like I would fall into an endless swamp if I dragged this topic on for a long time, so I quickly turned to the main topic.
“It’s enough to say it back. Start with the dragon. Isn’t there something you want from me?”
At my words, she smiled, showing off one of the brightest smiles she had ever seen.
“This is why I like talking with the Doctor. You know exactly what I want, right?”
Clap clap.
With two claps, the food on the table disappeared and a huge parfait appeared as if waiting. She took a big bite of it and put it in her mouth.
“I can’t forgive anyone for destroying something I love.”
Even if it’s you yourself. I could tell without listening to the back story. So she came to warn me. Don’t go out on your own. Don’t get hurt Don’t be fooled by the games of stars other than yourself.
Don’t take away my ‘joy’.
“Will I say that I am crazy?”
This guy and that guy all do what they want to do. It was so selfish and arrogant. I know I’m not in a position to say this, but it was like real crap.
My life is only my own. Whoever wants to leave it and say this or that?
“I will rest. It is enough to spend leisurely time in a peaceful place without any worries.”
I am a person who wants to live without doing anything if possible. If there is a task, I prefer to postpone it as far as possible and deal with it all at once, and if it seems to be bothersome, I finish the task in advance so that troublesome things do not happen later.
Take on more than necessary tasks that don’t relate to me? I would have thrown it at the main character, but that never happened.
“Poo Sup”
As she weighed in on what I had said, she started to laugh, even stealing her tears as if she saw that my words were genuinely funny. On the contrary, my expression was infinitely rotten, but as if even that was fun, she held her stomach and continued to laugh.
“Ah, ahahahaha… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to laugh like this, but I stopped without realizing it… Whoa”
She took a deep breath and barely stopped laughing. She still looked at me with a playful expression and said.
“You need to be a little more lenient with yourself.”
“There is no one as lenient towards me as I am…”
Took!
“You really don’t think so, do you?”
She blocked my mouth with a parfait and cut it off. She grinned and opened her mouth with an ah.
Feeling the will to paint over my face if I don’t eat it, I had no choice but to open my mouth and eat the parfait. Something cool and sweet melted in your mouth.
“In the world. Look at a person like a doctor and say, “He’s diligent.” For later, for the future. Wouldn’t it be fun to live a tight life day by day clinging to rewards you can never reach by deceiving yourself like that?”
It’s fun again.
Even if I misunderstand something, I seem to be doing it well. From my point of view, the status window and magical power were more interesting. I am experiencing things in real life that I only enjoyed in novels or games.
If you view these emotions as fun, yes, there were things I didn’t like and things that were painful, but I can say that every day was fun after recalling my previous life.
Is it really that bad to just pursue a peaceful life here? Is it such a bad thing to want to take it easy?
I don’t know. To be honest, even being here now seemed like a waste of time.
If the target in front of me wasn’t a transcendental person, I would waste my time on this pointless task, so I wanted to create a new familiar, increase my power, and come up with a plan for what’s going to happen today.
All of that became blood and flesh to me. If you get stronger like this, it will definitely be possible to protect my family in this crazy world.
“Look at that. Were you still thinking about work?”
Cock
She seemed to have come to my side before I knew it. She sat next to me and poked and pricked my cheek and smiled Betsy.
“You grumble out of habit about wanting to rest, but you don’t waste a single moment. You don’t even realize that you’re contradicting yourself. Like an old, under-oiled robot, it keeps moving without stopping, with joints creaking.”
You’re really stupid. So cute and lovely. As she said that, her hand gently brushed my cheek. As if she hadn’t done anything rough, the feel of her fine hands made her spine grow.
“Bullsh*t”
He swatted her hand away from poking her face and dismissed her words.
Right now, after entering the academy, things to do suddenly increased, so that’s all it looks like.
I was happy to train myself, who had not been able to grow properly under the name of law until now, and I was only more immersed in it because I was able to see the shame with my own eyes.
This is like a game. So i’m fine Not wrong.
“Is that really what you wanted?”
I frowned at her words as she leaned over my shoulder and read my thoughts. It was hot. Her breath, the temperature of her shoulder, seemed to burn her. On the contrary, compared to the infinitely cold inside of me, I felt her passion even hotter.
“Yes, I do it because I want to.”
As I answered, I moved slightly to the side to close the ship’s distance and cling to me. The sweet scent and the soft touch unique to a woman of the right age paralyzed reason. But strangely, my heart was still very still.
A contradiction, a contradiction. Opposite feelings continued to coexist, and it was as if my mind, which had been jumbled, was put into a blender and ground.
‘Right. I’m doing this because I want to’
It is only now that we can grow rapidly anyway. As with any RPG game, the higher you level up, the slower your growth will be and the harder it will be to reach your limit. But once you’re strong, everything becomes easy.
The strength and effort I cultivated and accumulated will never betray me. Because at the end of the end, the only thing I can lean on is me. I learned that from my previous life. Because of that foundation, you can fully strive for a peaceful future in your present life without looking away.
There are no more failures. If you make a mistake, you must correct it. All for a future without regrets.
For that, I had to go back to the academy. I’ll be busy with competitions from morning. Just work hard enough not to get expelled.
“Get out of the way”
Perfect!
“Ouch!”
While I was immersed in a short contemplation, I fed the chestnut with magic power in the head of platinum with her arms crossed, and she looked at me with a sad expression on her face.
“It hurts. It hurts so much I think I’m going to die. But is this also a kind of expression of affection? I’m OK. Because I love you, no matter how painful and painful it is, I will accept it all.”
“Do the damn thing without feeling too sick.”
“…hehehe, did you get caught?”
At my scolding, she smiled brightly as if she had never shed tears. Then he got up from her seat, tidying up her hair that was disheveled from her wrapping.
“Never forget what I said. Don’t forget to call me by name if you’re having a hard time. The offer remains the same as back then.”
I made an expression of genuine disgust at the sight of him licking his lips bewitchingly looking at me as if scanning from top to bottom.
“Crazy b*tch. Pedophile. Dog psycho pervert”
“Are you really going to eat it over and over again? Wow! Do”
Perhaps he wanted to express fear in his appearance, he raised his nails with both hands and made a gesture of closing his mouth.
“…f*ck it in moderation”
“Carrreuk, ah… Fun! It’s so much fun!”
Even if he swears, he likes it the same as the main character. Perverted or crazy or both. Why are there only people like this around me? Thinking about it gave me a chill.
Before I knew it, she was sitting on top of my legs, occupying the front of her as if she were completely in close contact.
“Did you think of him again?”
“…”
To be honest, I was really scared. It was said that she was a transcendental character, and I simply touched her fingertips lightly, but I felt as if her heart was squeezed tightly. Because of the location, I couldn’t even move my body.
“It’s too much to think of someone else inside when I’m doing dashing with all my heart when I’m so pretty.”
One, two. Stretching out the number of her fingers, she pressed her palm completely over her heart and moved it slowly, as if touching fragile jewelry. I couldn’t get goosebumps from the series of processes, so I gnawed my teeth.
“…Are you really a homo?”
“f*ck, did I tell you not to say that again? Do you really want to have your mouth ripped out?”
You dare call me gay? And not once, but the second time. Heat stretched over her head, and the chill disappeared in an instant.
I opened my eyes wide at the sudden change in my attitude, and I held on tightly as if I was blocking the mouth of the babbling b*tch. I held her tight, lifted her chin, and met her eyes from close range.
If you put up with it 3 times, you will avoid murder. Now she is number 2. All she has left is one.
“This is your last chance. If you say that one more time, then it really rips it apart.”
Naleum
Instead of answering, she licked the bottom of my hand that held her mouth with her tongue, narrowed her eyes, and sent me a telegram with her magical powers with a bewitching smile.
[Next time, I hope you block it with mouse to mouse, not with your hands.]
Pair!
Then there was a single clap and nothing was held in my hand. No, there were traces of light cosmetics left behind as proof that he had definitely covered his mouth. This, too, must have been intentionally left by her.
I caught her tantrum at being played with her again, so I wiped her hands with her napkin on the table. I was annoyed that the texture seemed to remain even though I rubbed it hard enough to pierce the leather.
Then I looked outside and saw that the morning sun had fully risen. It was still early, but there were few people passing by. I really didn’t have time anymore.
I took a deep breath and calmed down my distracted mind and moved toward the academy. My stomach was bloated, perhaps because I ate too much breakfast, but I thought I would be able to properly attend class if I had to digest it at least a little bit from now on.
I went to the academy by deliberately choosing the way back at a quick pace. I wanted to erase the scent that still lingered on the tip of my nose and lingered on my body as soon as possible.
