## Chapter 736 – 736. Savior Of The Academy
I pressed down on her shoulders with both hands as she sat in her chair. I lowered my head, meeting her eyes. We were close enough to feel each other’s breath.
“…What do you think you’re doing? Get away from me?”
Yoon Hee-jung’s tone was sharp.
“Last night, I met a gem in the back alleys. She was about the same height as you, teacher.”
She flinched.
Yoon Hee-jung maintained her composure.
“You… you suspect I’m the gem from the back alleys? Let me make it clear. I’m not that gem or whatever. Academy teachers are prohibited from having side jobs, and yesterday, I was in the teacher’s dormitory.”
“Are you aware that your eyes are shaking right now?”
“It’s because you’re too close. Can you back away a little?”
“The gem from the back alleys only showed her eyes. Your eyes and the gem’s eyes are similar. Very similar.”
The gem from the back alleys wore heavy makeup around her eyes to conceal her features. However, Yoon Hee-jung couldn’t point that out. She was claiming she had never met the gem from the back alleys.
“There are many people with similar eyes. To think that’s enough to make you believe I’m the gem from the back alleys… you have quite the imagination.”
“I called you last night… but you didn’t answer. Or rather, should I say you couldn’t answer?”
“…Sung Yu-jin. Don’t cross the line. I’m your teacher.”
“Are you really not the gem from the back alleys?”
“How many times do I have to say it? I’m not.”
“Then you wouldn’t mind if I reported the gem from the back alleys, would you?”
“…Report?”
“The gem from the back alleys is famous, but ultimately, she’s illegal. I don’t know how she’s gotten away with it so far. But if I report her to the association through my mother, they can get rid of her immediately.”
I pressed down on her shoulders. Her shoulders felt soft and warm through her blouse. She was so stiff she couldn’t even think of shaking my hands off. I lowered my gaze a little more.
Yoon Hee-jung’s massive peaks came into view. Looking closely at her white blouse, I could see a peach-colored bra underneath. Her chest was so large that her lower body was completely obscured.
“…If that’s what you want to do, go ahead. It has nothing to do with me.”
I naturally removed my hands from her shoulders and created some distance.
I slowly observed her face. She was pretending to be indifferent, as if it really didn’t matter. Her eyes didn’t waver either. But she couldn’t control all her physical reactions. With my mana-enhanced hearing, I could hear her irregular breathing and her rapidly beating heart.
“Well, it’s a lie. I have no intention of reporting her. I also have a request for the gem from the back alleys.”
Yoon Hee-jung’s breathing began to stabilize.
“Is that so?”
“Why don’t you report her, teacher?”
“The city is under the academy’s influence, but it’s a naturally formed market. The academy has no reason to interfere with them. Even if it’s illegal, it doesn’t harm the academy. And the academy also receives help from them, knowingly or unknowingly. The city is a good stress reliever for the students.”
The academy’s tight schedule and fierce competition. The stress students receive from it is no joke. For the students, the city is like an oasis in the desert.
“I see. But teacher, are you aware of the ominous rumors circulating in the city?”
“…No. I don’t know. What rumors are you talking about?”
She didn’t fall into my trap.
“It’s nothing much.”
Knock knock.
Someone knocked on the office door.
“Ms. Yoon. Are you inside?”
It was a man’s voice.
“Yes. Come in.”
The door opened, and a man entered. He was tall and had a sturdy build. He looked to be in his early thirties. He had bear ears on top of his short brown hair.
I bowed to him casually and walked out.
“Oh, were you in the middle of a consultation with a student?”
“Yes. The consultation is over. Mr. Oh. What brings you here?”
“The honey sent from my family arrived, so I came to share some with Ms. Yoon.”
Oh Sung-woong.
He was the homeroom teacher of Class 3 in the first grade.
Oh Sung-woong had feelings for Yoon Hee-jung. In the original story, depending on the choices, there was a route where Oh Sung-woong and Yoon Hee-jung ended up together. But as long as I was here, that route would not become a reality.
***
Being famous is good. You can receive admiration and respect from others. But the downside was that it could become bothersome.
“Sung Yu-jin! Don’t you want to join the spear arts club? As Sung Ha-ri’s son, you must join!”
“Don’t you want to join the newspaper club? Interviewing active heroes is one of our newspaper club’s tasks. I want to interview Sung Ha-ri… can you help me?”
“I heard you’re a spirit user! Join our spirit association! Sung Yu-jin!”
Every break time, people gathered around me.
“I’m not interested in any of that, so please leave.”
I was planning to create a club just for myself.
A sex club.
All the club members except for me had to be women. I had already decided on my homeroom teacher, Yoon Hee-jung, as the advisor.
‘Of course, I’ll create a club with a different name on the surface. I guess I can call it a self-reflection club that studies the nature of sex.’
To create a club, you need a total of five students. Lee Si-eun would naturally follow me, so I needed three more.
While walking down the hallway during break time, I ran into Ryu Hana. I deliberately tried to ignore her and pass by. Given Ryu Hana’s personality, if I tried to approach her forcefully, she would only distance herself. The best way was to encounter her naturally, with an unavoidable reason.
“Sung Yu-jin.”
Ryu Hana called out to me. When I turned around, she was looking at me with a determined expression.
“What?”
“I have a favor to ask. Would you spar with me just once?”
Why was Ryu Hana suddenly acting like this?
My mind quickly spun and came up with an answer.
My strength had stimulated Ryu Hana’s pride and desire for strength. Good. We could become friends by sparring unofficially. Once I had Ryu Hana’s recognition, becoming friends wouldn’t be difficult.
“…I’m sorry. I have no intention of sparring with you.”
The answer that came out after some thought was different from my feelings. I wanted to make her more anxious. I just hoped she wouldn’t give up right away.
“Why? Do you think I’m not even worth your time?”
“Let me ask you the opposite. What benefit can I get from sparring with you?”
“We can both become stronger.”
“From what I see, it seems like you can achieve your goal even without sparring?”
“We can become stronger faster through sparring. It’s not a loss for you either.”
“It’s a loss for me. If you want to spar with me, bring me something more worthwhile.”
“…Money?”
“Are you kidding me? Who do you take me for, a beggar?”
I turned around and walked out of the academy. It was behind the academy building, a slightly secluded place. One person who didn’t fit there, Choi Da-yeon, was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.
“I was a little late because I had to talk to someone I knew. Sorry.”
“It’s not like I waited long, so it’s fine. What do you want to say to me?”
“I wanted to tell you to manage your lackey better.”
“…Lackey?”
“Lee Kang-hoo. Do you know how annoying that bastard is? He sends me messages like a dog in heat.”
“A d-dog in heat, p-p….”
Choi Da-yeon’s lips trembled. She wasn’t angry at the rude and vulgar words. It was the opposite. She was desperately trying to hold back her laughter.
‘It was in the original story too. Unlike her refined appearance, she finds sex jokes and dirty talk very funny.’
However, this was only the case when the sex jokes or insults weren’t directed at her.
“Ahem. It’s true that Lee Kang-hoo is a subordinate who follows my orders. But… what exactly did Lee Kang-hoo do?”
“What did he do?”
“…Why are you suddenly getting closer?”
“This is the message Lee Kang-hoo sent this morning. Take a look yourself.”
Choi Da-yeon’s gaze went to my smartphone. I moved closer to her. She smelled nice. I wanted to take her right here and now.
Lee Kang-hoo – Sung Yu-jin! Please forgive my rudeness!
Lee Kang-hoo – I will do anything you ask!
Lee Kang-hoo – Please keep this a secret from the young lady…. Please….
Lee Kang-hoo – I found a spear that would be good for Sung Yu-jin. I will give it to you as a gift. Please reply.
Lee Kang-hoo – Sung Yu-jin? You’re late for school today. Did something happen?
Lee Kang-hoo – If you’re hungry, please tell me right away. I’ll go to the store and buy you bread. What kind of drink do you like?
Me – Shut the fuck up.
Lee Kang-hoo – Sung Yu-jin. Please give me a chance…!
“See? These annoying messages.”
“…Sorry. I didn’t know he was this stupid.”
Choi Da-yeon frowned as she spoke.
“Choi Da-yeon. I’m disappointed in you. Someone like you. I can’t believe you can’t even manage a guy like that.”
“…I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not managing him properly.”
She apologized readily.
If you were to argue, it wasn’t her fault. But the logic that the owner is responsible for the dog’s mistakes applied to her.
“I suffered mental damage because of that bastard. On the first day of the entrance ceremony, do you know what that bastard said to me?”
Pretending to be angry, I hit the wall next to her head with my palm. The distance between us narrowed. From a distance, it might look like we were kissing.
“…….”
Choi Da-yeon didn’t avoid or panic. She looked at me with a haughty expression, her arms still crossed. Her gaze went to my chest and Adam’s apple.
Perhaps she was thinking of piercing my heart or slitting my throat. I didn’t feel any killing intent from her, though.
“He told me not to bother you, you worthless bug.”
“…He said that to you? He called you a bug?”
“He told me not to even look at your shadow.”
“…I’ll compensate you. You called me because you wanted something. What do you want?”
“Since he told me not to bother you, I’m going to try bothering you once.”
“Say it clearly.”
“You see Lee Kang-hoo behind you?”
“…I see him.”
Lee Kang-hoo’s mission was to protect Choi Da-yeon. He was bound to be nearby.
“I want to turn that bastard’s world upside down. Let’s hug once.”
Given Choi Da-yeon’s personality, she would never allow it. Still, since I had the justification, I said it with the intention of poking a forbidden fruit.
“Okay.”
But the answer that came back was the opposite of what I expected. I casually checked her favorability rating.
『Choi Da-yeon’s Favorability: 42』
Her favorability had increased at some point. At this level, she was friendly towards me.
“If that can make up for my subordinate’s mistake, it’s fine.”
“…Really?”
“It’s just a hug. Isn’t that what you wanted? Hurry up.”
“You’re really going to do it?”
“Do it.”
Before Choi Da-yeon could change her mind, I quickly pulled her into a hug. She fit snugly in my arms. Her long black hair, reaching down to her thighs, tickled my senses, and her scent filled my nostrils. The softness I felt on my upper body was definitely her breasts.
My hands moved on their own. My left hand stroked her back, and my right hand went down to her buttocks.
She flinched.
My hand touched her buttocks, but she only flinched and didn’t push me away. I barely managed to restrain my hand from going under her skirt, using all my willpower.
“Y-you, you, you crazy bastard! Get your hands off the young lady!”
Lee Kang-hoo shouted from behind and charged towards me. With regret, I pulled away from Choi Da-yeon, sensing his killing intent.
I dodged Lee Kang-hoo’s fist, tripped him, and kicked him in the side.
“Guh!”
He rolled on the ground a few times before getting up.
“Lee Kang-hoo. What are you doing, overstepping your bounds? Don’t move.”
Choi Da-yeon’s cold voice stopped Lee Kang-hoo. Sensing Choi Da-yeon’s murderous aura, Lee Kang-hoo glanced between me and her.
“Heh. You don’t even know what kind of humiliation your master suffered because of you, and you still charge in.”
“B-because of me…?!”
There was no need to say more. I ignored them and headed to the classroom.
***
Slap.
Choi Da-yeon slapped Lee Kang-hoo across the cheek. Lee Kang-hoo’s body staggered from the slap, which was infused with mana. He desperately controlled his legs and regained his posture.
Slap!
A tooth broke and rolled on the floor. Blood streamed from his nose and mouth.
“You messed things up because of you. Do you know that?”
“…I’m sorry. Please leave it to me. I’ll fix it.”
“How?”
“…….”
What Lee Kang-hoo thought of was assassination. Sung Yu-jin wouldn’t accept his apology. Then it would be better to just assassinate him and get rid of him.
Slap!
After being slapped again, he erased the method that had popped into his head.
“I’ve already fixed it, so don’t even think about touching Sung Yu-jin and just crawl away.”
“……Yes.”
Choi Da-yeon walked past Lee Kang-hoo. Lee Kang-hoo was already gone from her mind as she walked elegantly. Her mind was replaying the hug from just now.
‘Sung Yu-jin likes me.’
