Chapter 465 – 465. Savior Of The Academy.
465. Savior of the Academy.
“Kkuuuk!”
The Thunder Owl flew towards me as soon as it saw the Spirit Orb and landed on the floor.
I clenched my fist to hide the Spirit Orb. Then, I quietly whispered to the Thunder Owl.
“If you’ve come, at least give a proper greeting. You impolite bird.”
“…Kkuu.”
The Thunder Owl glared at me as if telling me not to ignore it.
“Ha.”
I scoffed.
Low to mid-grade spirits are widespread in the world. The reason they can roam the world freely is that, unlike high-grade spirits, they lack power. They are so weak that they cannot materialize on their own.
Spirits that cannot materialize cannot exert physical force. That means they cannot harm me.
“If you want this, behave yourself.”
I showed the Spirit Orb on my palm. The Thunder Owl’s eyes immediately focused on the Spirit Orb. I didn’t care and just stared intently. Then, as if possessed, it walked towards my hand, step by step.
I stayed still. The Thunder Owl brought its beak to the Spirit Orb.
“……”
Nothing happened. Since it hadn’t materialized, it couldn’t even touch it.
The Thunder Owl, with a look of disappointment, looked at me.
“I’ll give you exactly 10 seconds.”
“Kku!”
The Thunder Owl knelt in front of me. No, it would be more accurate to say it collapsed on the ground.
I smiled contentedly. From now on, we were going to make a contract, and it would be troublesome if the spirit acted like the master. I needed to establish dominance.
‘But is it really that desirable?’
[Spirit Orb
A gem imbued with the pure power of nature.
Spirits will be very happy to receive it.
Price: 20 points.
※Caution
Only effective for spirits.]
To me, it didn’t look particularly special.
“Kkuu, kku!”
I didn’t know what it was saying, but I nodded.
“Oh, okay. Get up.”
The Thunder Owl stood up. Its pure white body had not a speck of dirt on it. It was natural since it had no physical form.
“Let’s make a contract. If we make a contract, I’ll give you this. Okay?”
“Kku!”
“……What are you doing? Why aren’t you making a contract?”
“Kkuu! Kku! Kkukkukku!”
The Thunder Owl pointed at me with one wing. It seemed like I was supposed to do something.
I hesitated for a moment, then extended my hand, filled with mana, towards the Thunder Owl. The Thunder Owl pecked my palm with its beak. The sensation was vivid.
“……!”
Immediately, I felt something connecting me to the Thunder Owl.
At the end of the connection was the Thunder Owl. It wasn’t a bad feeling.
『You have acquired the skill, Spirit Contract (C-).』
『Spirit Contract (C-)
Skill Rank: C-
Allows you to contract with a spirit.
You can command a spirit in exchange for mana.』
“Kkukkukku!”
The Thunder Owl urged me on. I deactivated Spirit Vision. Even without using Spirit Vision, I could see the Thunder Owl with my naked eyes since we were contracted.
“Probably, you won’t be able to materialize for long. I told you.”
“Kku.”
I channeled mana to the Thunder Owl through the connection. The mana, which was already low, was draining away like a receding tide.
The Thunder Owl materialized. Its body gained mass, and its eyes were even more lively. The Thunder Owl immediately brought its beak to the Spirit Orb on my palm and swallowed it whole.
The Thunder Owl widened its eyes, then flapped its wings and soared upwards.
“Kkuuuk! Kkuuuk!”
Pajijijijijik!
Blue lightning crackled from the Thunder Owl’s body in all directions. However, the lightning didn’t come towards me.
“Yujin-ah!!!”
Han Sohee rushed out into the yard. She immediately hugged me and stepped back, using a magic barrier.
“Why suddenly a Thunder Owl?!”
Han Sohee stared intently, then, as if sensing something strange, looked at me and the Thunder Owl. The Thunder Owl stretched out, emitting lightning, then landed back on the ground. Other than some parts of the yard being scorched, there was no damage.
“Sohee noona! It’s not a bad guy!”
“…No. It’s not certain yet. It’s strange for a spirit to appear, so we need to investigate first….”
Han Sohee had a rather rigid personality.
“Come here.”
I reached out my hand towards the Thunder Owl. The Thunder Owl flew towards me but was blocked by the barrier.
“Sit.”
I pointed to the ground. The Thunder Owl sat down cross-legged on the ground.
“…Could it really be….”
Han Sohee mumbled, alternating between looking at me and the Thunder Owl with a dazed expression.
“Ah!”
My mana ran out, and the Thunder Owl’s physical form disappeared. But in my eyes, as the contractor, I could still see the Thunder Owl.
“Yujin-ah. Can you tell noona what the owl did to you?”
“Yeah. But the owl is right there.”
“…I see.”
•••
Bang!
Sung Hari swung a spear crackling with lightning in all directions. The bodies of the charging Evil Beasts were cut apart, spraying dirty blood as they fell to the ground.
A Class A monster with three eyes and a black body. The Evil Beasts could not withstand Sung Hari’s attacks.
But that wasn’t the end. The Evil Beasts, thought to be dead, rose again, baring their jaws at Sung Hari.
Pajijijik.
The lightning emanating from Sung Hari’s body electrocuted the Evil Beasts. The spear blade cut through the Evil Beast’s neck. The decapitated Evil Beast could not rise again.
Sung Hari passed by the corpses with a blank expression.
Wooooooong.
The cell phone in her pants pocket vibrated. A few years ago, she would have ignored the phone and focused on dealing with the monsters, but now it was different. There might be an emergency.
She opened the flip phone.
Caller: Han Sohee. A smile appeared on Sung Hari’s previously expressionless face.
“Yeah. Sohee, what’s wrong? Does Yujin want to see me?”
Han Sohee’s voice on the other end of the phone was calm but strangely excited. Sung Hari’s expression hardened as she listened to her words.
“Yujin… seems to have awakened…? And a spirit…?”
Awakening before the age of five. It wasn’t unprecedented, but it was very rare. And to contract with a spirit immediately after awakening? This was unheard of.
-Hari, Yujin is a genius. Maybe he’ll become a hero who surpasses you. To contract with a spirit right after awakening…
“Sohee, you haven’t reported to the association yet, right? Don’t do anything and just watch over Yujin. I’ll be back soon.”
-……Okay.
Sung Hari, having hung up the phone, glared ahead.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
A giant Evil Beast, over 10 meters tall, was approaching, glaring at Sung Hari with its three eyes.
“Haa…. Annoying. I’ll finish you in 30 seconds.”
Lightning crackled at her feet as she gripped the spear shaft with both hands.
•••
I sat at the table, eating ice cream, while eavesdropping on Han Sohee’s voice as she contacted Sung Hari in the living room.
Han Sohee was praising me as a genius. Well, having awakened before the age of five and even contracting with a spirit, it was only natural to see me as a genius.
‘She doesn’t feel anything strange and just accepts it as natural because I’m a genius. It must be because of Sung Hari. In this world, talent and traits are greatly influenced by parents.’
I looked at Han Sohee and opened my status window.
『Name: Han Sohee
Strength: C Stamina: C Agility: B- Endurance: D+ Mana: A
Trait: Barrier Master (S)
Skills: Magic (A), Barrier (S), Mana Amplification (C)
Affection: 46』
Her physical abilities were quite low for a Class A hero. But it wasn’t a problem. She was a hero specialized in supporting other heroes or using barriers.
‘Barrier Master is a trait that gives a bonus to all defensive actions.’
Han Sohee was young. She was in her early twenties now. She still had a lot of room to grow. If she didn’t neglect her efforts, she would easily become an S-class hero.
‘Affection is 46…. Her affection increased after the incident.’
The meaning of the affection and trust levels was as follows:
Hostile 0~9, Normal 10~19, Interest 20~39, Friendly 40~49, Affection 50~69, Love 70+.
Usually, when you meet someone for the first time, their affection starts at 10. If the first impression is good, it can start at 20 or higher.
Han Sohee’s affection was currently 46, which was friendly. She would grant any request that wasn’t unreasonable. Especially since I was someone she had to take care of.
‘Affection 50 is where romantic feelings start.’
According to the original game settings, you could date someone if their affection exceeded 50, and you could marry an NPC if their affection reached 70, which was the level of love.
‘This isn’t a game, so it won’t be exactly the same… but, well, it’ll be similar.’
For reference, Sung Hari’s affection was at the highest level, 100. The game developer said that affection levels higher than that could exist, but it was vaguely stated as if it wasn’t actually set.
‘From the start, they didn’t put much meaning into the affection system when they made it.’
What was certain was that an affection level of 90 or higher meant that they would sacrifice themselves for me without hesitation.
“Kkuu. Kku.”
The Thunder Owl, standing on the table, made a sound. Of course, only I, the contractor, could hear it. The Thunder Owl seemed curious about the vanilla ice cream I was eating.
‘Don’t be annoying and stay quiet.’
Since we were connected through the contract, I could convey my will to the Thunder Owl without having to speak.
Just before Han Sohee finished her call, I deliberately spilled the ice cream on myself. I shivered from the cold.
“Noona!”
“…Huh? Yujin-ah! Did you spill the ice cream? Let’s change your clothes before you catch a cold.”
“Noona! Bath!”
“You want to take a bath?”
“Yeah.”
“Then let’s take a bath.”
Han Sohee lifted me from the chair. She was completely unguarded. I deliberately splashed the ice cream I was holding onto her body. Her white shirt became soaked, revealing the black bra that was covering her B-cup breasts.
“Ah!”
“Noona too, bath!”
“Me too? Should I?”
That’s what was good about being a child. If I were an adult, she would have glared at me with cold eyes, asking what I was talking about.
‘The problem is that it’s impossible to move on to the next stage….’
As a four-year-old, I couldn’t properly control my erections yet. My mind wanted sex, but my body wasn’t following my will. It was driving me crazy.
I entered the bathroom with Han Sohee.
I had to forcefully suppress the exclamation that was about to escape as I looked at her naked body. If Sung Hari had a voluptuous figure, Han Sohee had a clean one.
“Why doesn’t noona have hair on her pussy? Mama said that all adults have hair there.”
“Uh, uh?”
Han Sohee’s pussy had not a single strand of hair. Considering the current era and Han Sohee’s personality, she wouldn’t have shaved or waxed it herself. It was definitely atrichia.
“Th, that’s. I don’t have hair there originally. More importantly, let’s wash up quickly. The ice cream is sticky and feels bad, right?”
Han Sohee, flustered, picked up the showerhead and adjusted the water temperature. I couldn’t take my eyes off her pussy.
The unusually large clitoris. The pink labia minora, slightly drooping downwards. Since there was no hair, it was too visible.
‘I can’t take it!’
I reached out my small hand towards the defenseless pussy.
“Hwik?!”
Han Sohee was startled and dropped the showerhead on the floor. I didn’t take my small hand away and started to fondle it. Activating the erogenous zone was a given.
[Han Sohee’s erogenous zone: Clitoris]
‘I thought the clitoris was big, and it was an erogenous zone.’
Just because my hands were small didn’t mean my experience disappeared. I rummaged through the labia minora and focused on the clitoris. But the caress didn’t last long.
Grip.
Han Sohee grabbed my wrist.
“Yujin-ah. You can’t touch there!”
Her face was bright red.
“Why?”
“Because it’s a very precious place. It’s a part that other people shouldn’t touch. You wouldn’t feel good if noona touched your dick, right? So you shouldn’t touch it either.”
“It’s okay to touch my dick.”
I reached out my other hand and touched her pussy.
“Yu, Yujin-ah!”
Han Sohee immediately stopped my other hand as well.
‘I can’t stop here. Should I use my ultimate move?’
My ultimate move was to cry and whine.
“Waaaaaaah! I’m going to touch it! I’m going to touch the pussy!”
“Uh, uh?”
Crying and whining.
I was usually a well-behaved child. I didn’t cry much, and I didn’t cause trouble. My body was that of a child, but my mind was that of an adult, so it was inevitable. So, from Han Sohee’s perspective, taking care of me was usually very easy.
This was the first time Han Sohee had experienced me crying and whining. She was flustered and didn’t know what to do. She was in her early twenties. She became my babysitter because of her abilities, not because she was good at taking care of children.
“D, don’t cry. Yujin-ah. Noona was wrong.”
