Chapter 1152 – 1152. Savior Of The Academy
As I got closer to the back hill, I could see the Martial Arts Department building. The old-fashioned building was as large as the main building, if not larger.
Just then, the entrance to the Martial Arts Department building opened, and someone walked out. It was a well-built female student with long, straight black hair and a pale face.
It was Seong Hari.
She saw me and her eyes widened.
It was as if she recognized me.
‘It must be a coincidence.’
There was no way Seong Hari would recognize me. She was seeing me for the first time.
I walked forward confidently. In my head, I was thinking about the questions I would ask Seong Hari.
‘Seong Hari drops out in her second year. And Seong Hari is in her second year now. Her whereabouts after dropping out of the academy are unclear.’
The Association had intentionally hidden it.
And a few years later, Seong Hari appears before the public as an S-Class hero. She had a short but impactful career, becoming the best hero in Korea. And then her whereabouts become unknown again.
‘Maybe Seong Hari is thinking about dropping out now. I should ask her what she plans to do after dropping out. She wouldn’t drop out of the academy without any plans.’
To do that, I needed to get somewhat close to her.
Seong Hari walked straight towards me. Just as I was about to raise my hand to greet her lightly, she suddenly ran up, grabbed my arm, and dragged me behind the building.
“Wait, hold on. What are you doing?!”
“What am I doing? That’s what I want to ask you. Why is a terrorist roaming around the academy?!”
Seong Hari said. I felt a sense of incongruity.
‘She knows me? …And she recognizes me as a terrorist?’
Since entering this dungeon, I had stolen a car, but I hadn’t caused any other incidents. I might be called a car thief, but there was no reason to be called a terrorist.
‘……Could it be.’
『Name: Seong Hari
Strength: A+ Stamina: A Agility: A+ Durability: B+ Mana: B+
Trait: Spirit Devourer (S).
Skills: Divine Spear Unification (A), Spear Throw (A), Combat Sense (A), Purification (E+), Barrier (C-)
Affection: 44』
‘…….’
I checked Seong Hari’s status window. Her outstanding abilities didn’t even register. My mind was focused on her affection level.
How likely was it that her affection level would be over 40 because her first impression was so good? It would vary from person to person, but I didn’t think Seong Hari would be like that.
‘Seong Hari recognized me as a terrorist. That means the dungeon I entered last time and this dungeon… are connected, even though they’re in different time periods.’
Was that even logically possible?
‘…If the Eighth Legion Commander, Laplace, was playing tricks, it would be possible. When I entered this dungeon, it also showed up as ???… It’s 100% his doing.’
Seong Hari, who had dragged me behind the Martial Arts Department building, looked at me, Ryu Hana, and Makina in turn.
“It’s been years since I’ve seen you, Oppa, and you haven’t aged a bit. And this girl is new…. And what’s that on your head, a fairy…? No, it’s a spirit.”
She immediately recognized Makina’s true nature. She was from the Jinryeong family, so she was probably familiar with spirits. It wasn’t surprising.
“Auntie! Hi! You definitely look younger!”
Makina waved her hand and flew through the air, jumping into Seong Hari’s chest. Seong Hari, who had caught Makina, was flustered.
“Uh, uh? Auntie…?”
She quickly grabbed Makina’s hair.
“Aah! My hair hurts! Let go! I don’t want to go bald!!”
I sent a thought to Makina. It was an order not to give Seong Hari any information about us. Makina made a tearful face and nodded. Only then did I let go of Makina’s hair.
“Hwaaaah!”
Makina jumped back into Seong Hari’s chest. Seong Hari was flustered but accepted Makina. She didn’t look like she disliked it. Rather, she looked a little excited. It was probably the first time a spirit had approached her on its own. And Makina’s cute appearance must have played a part as well.
Ryu Hana was looking at Seong Hari, fiddling with the two sword hilts she had at her waist.
I nudged Ryu Hana with my elbow. I whispered to her in a small voice.
“She’s not your opponent. Save your strength.”
“…I know.”
Ryu Hana, a battle addict, looked at Seong Hari with a look full of regret. Seong Hari frowned at the strange atmosphere and then turned her gaze to me.
“Oppa. Explain the situation. Why are you here in an academy uniform? Are you planning to… commit terrorism at the academy?”
“I’ll explain. But you’re using informal speech? You used to speak so politely before.”
“I was a bit younger then. You should be grateful that I’m even calling you Oppa.”
I put on a serious expression and continued.
“Me and this girl…. Ryu Hana, we’re Devil Hunters. We’re chasing demons.”
“Ah…. So that’s why you dealt with that demon a few years ago….”
Seong Hari nodded as if she understood. I didn’t add any further explanation. The longer I talked, the higher the chance of being suspected.
“…Wait. If Oppa came to the academy… does that mean there’s a demon in the academy?”
There wasn’t.
But I nodded.
“There are traces of a demon left in the academy. Well, it might have already escaped. But we need to look for it.”
“…….”
Seong Hari’s expression hardened. She closed her mouth and thought about something.
Unlike her serious expression, her hands were busy touching Makina in her arms. She was especially grabbing and rubbing Makina’s cheeks.
‘Those soft and chewy cheeks are hard to resist.’
Seong Hari finally opened her mouth.
“Let me join you.”
“Join what?”
“What Oppa is doing.”
“……You’re saying you’ll help me find the demon hiding in the academy?”
“I’ll cooperate even after this. Take me with you.”
“……What about the academy?”
“I’m going to quit.”
“Why? Maruhan Academy is the best hero training center in Korea. You’ll be recognized just by graduating?”
“I’d have to stay for another year and a half to graduate. No matter how I think about it, it’s just a waste of time.”
“…Are you saying there’s nothing to learn from the academy teachers?”
“There are many things to learn, but they’re not related to combat. I’m already stronger than the academy teachers.”
Seong Hari didn’t hesitate about this.
“What are you going to do after quitting the academy?”
“I told you, I’m going with Oppa. Devil Hunter. That sounds perfect. I didn’t like those demons either. I promise I won’t be a hindrance. If you want, I can fight the girl next to Oppa to show you my skills. I’m probably stronger.”
“…….”
Seong Hari smiled aggressively. Ryu Hana quietly fiddled with her sword hilts.
I stepped between them. The tense atmosphere calmed down again.
“Seong Hari. Were you planning to drop out of the academy even if we hadn’t come to the academy?”
“I told you, there’s nothing to learn in terms of combat. I’ve already decided to leave the academy.”
“If you leave the academy, where will you go?”
“I heard the situation in the north is serious, so I was planning to go north. I can gain experience there.”
What happened in the north during this period? I couldn’t remember well.
“Anyway. I’m going to follow Oppa, so keep that in mind.”
“…Who said you could follow us? We don’t need you, so just study at the academy.”
“I’ll follow you even if you tell me not to.”
I saw the stubbornness in Seong Hari’s eyes. There was no reasoning with her when she was stubborn. I closed my mouth.
Seong Hari took that as a sign of permission and smiled victoriously. She handed Makina to me.
“I was originally planning to stay for another month…. I’ll go talk to the headmaster now, so wait here. Don’t go anywhere.”
“…Okay.”
I lied.
As soon as Seong Hari disappeared from sight, I was planning to leave the academy.
Seong Hari hurriedly ran towards the main building.
“…….”
Ryu Hana didn’t ask anything. She just remained silent.
“Young Auntie’s chest is a little smaller. I like young Auntie too…. But I like the Auntie outside better.”
Makina said. I smacked her on the head.
‘Once we get out, I need to find out what happened in the north during this period.’
There was no reason to stay here. Let’s disappear before Seong Hari catches up.
“Seong Yujin.”
Ryu Hana called my name. There was tension in her voice. Her gaze was directed not at me, but at the Martial Arts Department building behind me.
Two people were standing on the roof of the building.
It was another Seong Yujin and Ryu Hana. They had red tattoos on their skin, including their faces. They jumped from the roof and landed lightly on the ground.
It was the appearance of an enemy.
Ryu Hana drew her twin swords. Ryu Hana charged at the fake Ryu Hana first. A battle broke out in an instant.
I glared at the fake Seong Yujin.
“Huh? I, I’m here too! A doppelganger?!”
Makina, seeing the fake Makina, made a fuss. It was because another Makina existed on his shoulder. I wasn’t surprised because I had already predicted it.
He looked at me and grinned, speaking in the same voice as me.
“I’ll kill you and then take Seong Hari.”
I frowned.
“You fake bastard, you’re crossing the line? I’m the one who’s going to take Seong Hari.”
“A fake…. Do you know? If there’s no real one, a fake that’s exactly the same as the real one becomes the real one.”
The fake’s eyes turned golden, and blue electricity crackled.
“Playtime.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“You don’t know?”
“You’re trying to test me with nonsense… There’s no difference between your abilities and mine. We have the same memories. I even have the memory of you touching Sieun’s pussy yesterday.”
He didn’t know about the Playtime app. I chuckled. The fake’s face contorted as he realized he was being mocked. He reached out his hand into the air. A Hwaryeon Flying Blade appeared in his hand. Of course, it was a fake Hwaryeon Flying Blade.
“You damn bastard. I really want to kill you.”
“Do you know? Even if you’re lucky enough to kill me… you won’t be able to get out of the dungeon.”
“Ah, is that why you’re acting so cocky? That guy will get me out, so it’s okay. He has the ability to do it.”
“…Laplace. Where is that bastard now?”
“Do you think I’ll tell you? The conversation is over. Let’s go, Makina.”
The form of Makina next to the fake changed into an onahole. But unlike a normal onahole, its length was similar to the Hwaryeon Flying Blade.
‘…Could it be that this bastard. What I only imagined….’
He sheathed the Hwaryeon Flying Blade into the pink pussy-shaped hole at the entrance of the onahole.
He took a breath and focused his mana and lightning on the blade. He narrowed his eyes and drew the blade, which was wrapped in lightning.
“Pussy Draw Pussy Flash!”
I rolled on the ground to avoid the red lightning slash. The slash left a scar on the ground that was over 30 meters long before disappearing.
I got up and glared at him, opening my mouth.
“…Makina. Pussy Draw is the future-style swordsmanship I’ve been thinking about… To counter Pussy Draw, I have no choice but to use Pussy Draw as well. Transform into an onahole sheath, Makina! Hurry!”
“N, no!”
Makina tried to fly away into the sky.
“Have you forgotten our contract, Makina!! This is an order!”
“H, heehee…”
Makina made a tearful face and transformed into an onahole sheath. I summoned the Hwaryeon Flying Blade and sheathed it into the pussy sheath. Thwack. Sticky lubricant flowed out of the onahole sheath.
“…You could have attacked, but you waited for me?”
“Because I’m confident I can win. Let’s settle this with Pussy Draw.”
Crackling. Lightning seeped into the onahole sheath.
The fake and I focused our concentration and took a drawing stance. Whoosh. A single fallen leaf carried by the wind fell between us.
We simultaneously drew our blades from the charged onahole sheaths.
Pussy Draw Pussy Flash!
Two slashes collided in the air.
