Chapter 1413 – 1413. Savior Of The Academy
I felt a hot gaze from behind.
It was Hyodo Yuki. His face was stiff. The guy who always acted like a nice person was now serious, making me feel tense.
‘It must be because of Mieko. From the outside, it looks like Mieko is in my arms.’
Yuki has some feelings for his childhood friend, Mieko. The reason he joined the Shinto Department was also because Mieko belonged to it.
I straightened up, moving away from Mieko. As much as I wanted to keep leaning on her… I had to be mindful of not only Yuki but also Shinbo Reika’s gaze.
“…I know your injuries are severe, so you can keep leaning on me.”
“It’s okay. Thanks to your magic healing, my injuries are much better. I can move.”
I said, looking around.
The shrine was half-destroyed, and black smoke was still rising from various parts of the academy beyond my sight. The only good thing was that the continuous explosions had stopped.
‘The situation is almost over.’
I looked at the place where Tsukuyomi’s Magatama was kept. Tsukuyomi’s Magatama was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that Hattori’s clone had successfully escaped with Tsukuyomi’s Magatama. Instead, Hattori’s corpse was at Tenrai Nagisa’s feet.
Nagisa’s face, as she looked at the corpse, was not good, to say the least.
‘It’s natural that she’s serious since Tsukuyomi’s Magatama was stolen.’
I assessed the changes from the original story and made plans for the future.
‘Hattori of Madoujeong is dead.’
Originally, Hattori doesn’t die at this point.
‘The variable is that Seong Hari was at Arashi Academy. Thanks to that, Tenrai Nagisa arrived at the shrine much faster.’
Due to that variable, Hattori died. And Hattori completed his mission by sacrificing his life.
‘It will lead to the next story. There’s another chance, but… since it’s already different from the original story, I don’t know what will happen.’
Originally, Hattori survives whether he steals Tsukuyomi’s Magatama or not. And then he appears again and dies. But Hattori died here.
‘Will another executive of Madoujeong appear?’
Anyway, for the time being, peaceful days will be given.
The Arashi Academy attack incident will be problematic in many ways… but that was not my concern.
***
Arashi Academy was attacked by Madoujeong, but no one died. At most, those who were injured, including me, were all. The problem was that I was among the injured.
It was natural that Seong Hari’s eyes went wild when she checked the wound on my side. She immediately went to argue with the headmaster, Tenrai Nagisa. An explosion echoed through Arashi Academy. It was a bigger explosion than when Madoujeong attacked.
Seong Hari’s hair was disheveled when she returned.
“Yujin, Mom got you medicine.”
“Medicine? My side is fine. I used a potion, so it will be completely healed by tomorrow without any scars.”
I deliberately didn’t use complete recovery. The fact that I was injured was an advantage for me. I could skip classes because of this injury, and I could approach Mieko and Reika by mentioning my injury.
“You might look fine on the outside, but the inside might be in serious condition.”
“The doctor said I’m fine, so what.”
“Aish, son. Listen to your mom. If you take this medicine, you’ll be completely healed.”
Seong Hari handed me a glass bottle. Inside the bottle, a transparent liquid was sloshing.
『Eternal Essence of Mount Fuji
Rank: S
Increases stats upon consumption.』
“Spring water?”
“It’s an elixir. A medicine made by purifying the eternal snow that has the energy of Mount Fuji. Your mom talked with that old hag… no, Headmaster Tenrai Nagisa for an hour to get this.”
Did she really just talk? I didn’t bother to ask.
‘My stats are high now. Increasing stats with an elixir is not efficient. It would be more effective to give it to Lee Si-eun or Choi Da-yeon….’
Seong Hari’s eyes were sparkling as she looked at me. She wasn’t going to leave until she saw me drink the elixir with her own eyes.
“Drink it quickly. Hurry!”
At her urging, I opened the glass bottle.
“No matter how I think about it, it would be better for Mom to drink it than me… Ugh?!”
Seong Hari snatched the glass bottle and shoved it into my mouth. She was so incredibly fast that I only realized what she had done after the elixir was in my mouth.
“It’s your mom’s order. Drink it quickly.”
Gulp.
I drank the elixir. The ‘Eternal Essence of Mount Fuji’ was as cold as ice water. The cold energy spread throughout my body.
『Some stats have increased.』
『Name: Seong Yujin
Strength: B+ Stamina: B Agility: B Durability: B- Mana: A+
Traits: Spirit Eye (S) Demon Hunter (S)
Skills: Spirit Contract (A) Spirit Possession (A) Barrier (C+) Swordsmanship (B+)
Karma: Good 34』
Some stats increased.
‘Only my strength and durability went up by one level. I drank an S-rank elixir, and that’s all… It’s not very efficient as I thought.’
There was a limit to elixirs. If you could become stronger just by using elixirs, all the rich guys would have taken everything. Of course, even if you have money, it’s hard to get an elixir.
Seong Hari climbed onto the bed. She lay down next to me and hugged me with one arm.
“Do you know how worried Mom was when she heard you were hurt? I felt like my heart was sinking.”
“Heroes always get injured. Don’t make such a fuss over something like this.”
“Mom knows it can’t be helped. But Mom… doesn’t want Yujin to get hurt.”
Seong Hari rested her head on my shoulder. Seong Hari’s body, with her eyes closed, was trembling slightly. I quietly raised my hand and tidied Seong Hari’s disheveled hair.
Soon, we were naked, and the air in the room became hot.
“Hng, uhn! Ahhh! Aah!”
***
The Shinto Department was destroyed by this attack. It would take at least two months to rebuild the shrine.
Thanks to that, Mieka, Yuki, and I, who belonged to the Shinto Department, were left adrift. If there were many people in the Shinto Department, we would have continued our activities elsewhere, but the current Shinto Department had only three members.
Tenrai Nagisa said to us.
“If there is a major you want, go there and learn. If not… it would be good to help the student council. The student council seems to be busy in many ways ahead of the cultural festival, so they will welcome you with open arms. What will you do?”
Yuki was looking at Mieko’s reaction, and Mieko was lost in thought. Meanwhile, I answered immediately. According to the original story, Mieko eventually chooses the student council. Before I get unnecessary suspicion from Yuki, who has feelings for Mieko, I’ll make the first move.
“I will join the student council.”
“Hmm. I understand. What about you two? Do you need more time?”
Mieko stepped forward.
“I’ve decided. I will join the student council until the shrine is rebuilt.”
“You made a good decision, Mieko.”
“I, I’ll join the student council too.”
“All three of you are joining the student council. The student council will be happy to have such talented people. The work of the student council might be a little hard for you. But I guarantee… it won’t be a bad experience. Later, you might even look back on the work of the student council with good memories. Now, go to the student council.”
After listening to Nagisa’s words of encouragement, we headed to the student council.
The student council was using an entire four-story building. Unlike Maruhan Academy in Korea, the student council of Arashi Academy in Japan had immense power. Even the teachers couldn’t easily ignore the student council.
There was a building map at the entrance on the first floor. Departments such as the administrative department, the executive department, and the audit department were listed.
“I heard about the situation from Headmaster Tenrai. You must be the members of the Shinto Department?”
It was a girl wearing a school uniform. She was wearing glasses and had a yellow armband on her right arm, signifying that she was part of the student council. Overall, she was a plain girl. Her beauty was also average.
“I’m Aikawa Ayumi from the administrative department. I’ll guide you to the student council president’s office. Please follow me.”
We followed her up the stairs.
In the quiet atmosphere, I asked Aikawa Ayumi.
“Do you know which department we will be assigned to if we join the student council?”
Ayumi glanced at me. Did she not like my informal speech? If she’s not happy, she can use informal speech too. I stood confidently.
“You will probably be assigned to the student council department.”
“Student council department? What do they do there?”
“It’s a department directly under the student council president. They carry out the orders of the student council president and support other departments.”
“Is it tough there?”
“Everyone in the student council is busy because the cultural festival is coming up, regardless of the department.”
We arrived at the student council president’s office. Aikawa Ayumi, who had finished her guidance, immediately turned around and disappeared.
We knocked on the door of the student council president’s office. Was it a symbol of authority? It was a very antique wooden door.
“Yes. Come in.”
A woman’s voice was heard.
We opened the door and went inside. The student council president’s office was a clean and luxurious room, like the president’s office of a company.
Sitting at a desk with her back to the window where sunlight was coming in was a platinum-blonde woman. Her long platinum-blonde hair was sparkling in the sunlight, and her sitting posture was as elegant and noble as a swan. She was clearly a Western Caucasian.
‘Her chest… is huge. Is it an I-cup?’
It wasn’t hard to know her name since a nameplate was proudly placed on the desk.
Student Council President Rachel Craig.
“Welcome to the student council. I’m Rachel Craig, the student council president. Until the Tsukuyomi Shrine is rebuilt, you will belong to my direct department, the student council department.”
She spoke. It was fluent and elegant Japanese.
“Do you have any questions? Please feel free to ask.”
“What exactly do we have to do?”
Mieko asked. Rachel got up from her seat with a smile on her face. Jiggle. Her huge breasts, bigger than her head, caught my attention. My side-eye skill was maxed out, so there was no way I would be caught.
“Since we have guests, let me serve you some tea. Black tea or green tea. Which would you prefer?”
“I’d like green tea.”
“Me too.”
“I’ll just have water.”
I chose water. Looking at the tea, they were all tea bags. It was better to drink plain water than to drink tasteless tea.
“Miyakado Mieko, I would like you to work as a shrine maiden of the Tsukuyomi Shrine during the cultural festival.”
“The shrine is under reconstruction. We have to wait at least two months until the shrine is rebuilt. It’s impossible by the cultural festival….”
“I know. Not only are they redesigning it, but they are also installing a special barrier. The student council is planning to build a temporary shrine with reduced facilities for the cultural festival. Since it’s a cultural festival, we can’t bring in outside personnel, so the quality will be lower… but we can’t leave out the Shinto culture of Japan. There are also many outsiders who visit the cultural festival to worship at the Tsukuyomi Shrine. Miyakado, will you help us?”
“…If you give me all the management rights of the Tsukuyomi Shrine… I will accept the offer as a shrine maiden of the Tsukuyomi Shrine.”
“Okay. I’ll entrust the work of the temporary shrine to Miyakado. And the other two….”
Rachel’s eyes turned to me and Yuki.
