Chapter 1416 – 1416. Savior Of The Academy
“Eiris!”
Reika shouted. A mid-grade wind spirit appeared before her. The spirit became wind and seeped into Reika’s rapier.
‘She’s imbued a spirit into her weapon. Not bad. That’s not an easy spirit art.’
I couldn’t just stand still either. One of the reasons Reika had asked me for a duel was probably because I was also a spirit user like her.
“Moka.”
Pzzzzzzzt!
A thunder owl appeared with a crackle of electricity. Moka flapped its large wings and looked at Reika.
“Koo-ook!”
Moka swung its right wing. Electricity surged towards Reika.
Reika didn’t panic and responded calmly. She lightly swung her rapier, creating a wind barrier in front of her. Moka’s electricity was blocked by the wind barrier and scattered away.
‘Even if Moka wasn’t going all out… she blocked it too easily. That means her basic skills are solid.’
An average academy student wouldn’t even be able to react to Moka’s electricity. Just by reacting and responding to the electricity, Reika had proven that she was above average.
Reika swung her rapier. A wind blade cut through the air and flew towards me. I stepped aside, dodging the wind blade. If I could feel it and see it, there was no reason I couldn’t avoid it.
‘Moka, should we fight like her?’
I raised my practice sword. It was a signal to imbue the sword.
“Koo-ook. Kook.”
Moka shook its head. It meant it didn’t want to imbue the sword. I almost forced it, but then I stopped. Moka usually listened to me well. If Moka was showing such resistance, it meant it really didn’t want to do it.
‘Then, let’s scatter lightning around Reika. Let’s make this space a domain of lightning.’
“Kook!”
Moka flew around the training room. Every time Moka moved, lightning spread in all directions. Reika created a barrier of wind around herself to prevent the lightning from touching her. Her green hair fluttered in the wind.
‘There’s a limit to mana, so she won’t be able to maintain it for long. The moment the wind calms down, I’ll use that instant to approach.’
The wind surrounding Reika began to swirl. The size of the wind grew, and it began to sweep around. I realized her intention. She was planning to end the duel with one big move. It was quite a fiery way of thinking.
‘Then, I’ll go for a frontal breakthrough.’
I held my sword forward and charged towards Reika.
Thunder Heaven Style (雷天流) Thunder Steel Blade (雷罡刃).
I coated the blade with a lightning edge and cut through the wind barrier blocking my path. Reika, surprised by how easily the wind barrier was cut, took a step back and raised her rapier to block my sword.
“Eiris!!”
She shouted the spirit’s name. Immediately, the wind and air around us condensed and pressed down on me.
‘It’s not enough to make me unable to withstand it.’
I pushed my heavy feet forward and swung my sword. The sword sliced through her upper body. Since she was wearing training clothes, she wouldn’t be injured. Instead, Reika’s training top was torn, revealing a plain white bra.
“Ugh…!”
Reika quickly raised her arms to cover her chest. But it was already scanned. Shinbo Reika was an E-cup.
“I lost. I felt it before when you saved me, but… you’re stronger than me. Um, I’m sorry, but can we keep dueling?”
I stared at her intently. She blushed but still looked at me, waiting for my answer.
“Sure. I have plenty of time.”
“Thank you. Wait a moment. I’ll go change into new training clothes.”
I checked her favorability as I watched her retreating figure.
『Reika’s Favorability: 55』
Her favorability increased by 1 just from one duel.
It was a part that allowed me to roughly grasp her tendencies.
‘Her favorability will probably go up to around 60-63 just by dueling. I’ll have to keep dueling with Reika after school for a while.’
•••
After finishing the duel with Reika, we had dinner together and then parted ways.
It was 9 PM. It was an awkward time for anything else. I returned to the dormitory, took a shower, and then headed to Choi Dayeon’s room. Just as I was about to knock on the door, the door to the next room opened, and Choi Jeonghwa came out. She was wearing a tight-fitting dress, crossed her arms, and glared at me.
As Dayeon’s mother, she looked very much like Dayeon. If she had long hair like Dayeon instead of short hair, I would believe she was Dayeon 10 years later. Even now, if you said they were sisters instead of mother and daughter, people would believe it without much doubt.
I could feel hostility in her gaze.
“Seong Yujin. Let’s talk in my room for a moment.”
“Why would I talk to you, Auntie?”
I retorted as rudely as possible. Choi Jeonghwa’s lips trembled. Her gaze towards me became even more intense.
“Just like Seong Hari’s son… that personality is a carbon copy, a carbon copy.”
Did Choi Jeonghwa dislike Seong Hari? But I often saw them together.
“Auntie. Get to the point quickly. I have to go play with Dayeon.”
“…Play? You, really…!”
She clenched her fists and trembled. Even her angry expression was similar to Dayeon’s. She then sighed and relaxed her body.
“Let’s go inside and talk first. You don’t want to talk here either, right?”
“Can’t we do it with Dayeon?”
“…It’s about Dayeon. I know about your relationship with Dayeon. Let’s talk quietly, just the two of us.”
“Okay, I guess.”
I went into Choi Jeonghwa’s room. As soon as I entered, I smelled the unique scent of mature women’s cosmetics. I glanced at the desk, where expensive-looking cosmetics were placed. Unlike Seong Hari, she seemed serious about her appearance.
She offered me a chair as if telling me to sit, but I ignored it and sat on the bed. She looked at me as if she was dumbfounded, then sat on the chair with her legs crossed and tried to create a serious atmosphere.
“I’ll get straight to the point. Leave Dayeon alone. I want you to stop talking to Dayeon from now on.”
“I don’t know what right you have to say that, Auntie.”
“I’m Dayeon’s mother. I have enough right.”
“Do you think Dayeon would like it if she knew about this?”
“She wouldn’t like it. But I can’t just stand by and watch my daughter be dragged around by you.”
“You’re misunderstanding. Dayeon likes having sex with me.”
Sex.
Choi Jeonghwa’s cheeks flushed slightly at that explicit word. She didn’t seem to have much tolerance for sex.
“I know you’re threatening Dayeon with photos.”
“Oh, that? Dayeon allowed me to take them.”
“Dayeon allowed it? Do you think I’d believe such a lie?!”
“It’s true. Believe what you want.”
I openly fiddled with my smartphone. I went into the photo gallery app. It was full of lewd photos of Choi Dayeon that I had taken so far. There were easily over 300 photos. There were about 30 videos.
“Auntie. Look at this photo. Dayeon likes it too.”
It was a recent photo. It was a photo of her smiling after being fucked all night and even pissing herself.
Choi Jeonghwa’s eyes widened. She reached out towards me. I had been prepared, so I used an instant to dodge Choi Jeonghwa’s hand.
Cold sweat ran down my back. If I had reacted even a little late, my smartphone would have been taken.
At this point, I was curious about Choi Jeonghwa’s stats.
『Name: Choi Jeonghwa
Strength: A- Stamina: B Agility: A- Durability: B- Mana: A+
Trait: Tranquil Enhancement (A+)
Skills: Combat (A+), High-Speed Movement (A), Strike (S), Elemental Resistance (B+)
Favorability: 7』
‘Her stats are high overall.’
But Choi Jeonghwa couldn’t take my smartphone. Before she tried to take my smartphone again, I quickly said,
“If you try to take my smartphone one more time… I won’t hold back either. I’ll upload Choi Dayeon’s photos and videos on the internet. You know I can upload them even without a smartphone, right?”
“…Sorry. I lost my temper for a moment. It’s a serious issue for my daughter. You understand, right?”
“Yes. I understand. My mom also doesn’t care about anything when I’m in trouble.”
“……Does Seong Hari know you’re doing this?”
“Of course not.”
Choi Jeonghwa curled up the corners of her mouth as if she had found an opportunity.
“Seong Hari will be very disappointed if she finds out. I can keep it a secret if you promise to leave Dayeon alone and not approach her again.”
I laughed in disbelief.
“Auntie. Do you see me as some kind of idiot? Tell my mom. I’ll just get scolded a bit. But what do you think will happen to your daughter? She’ll become a whore. A whore. Everyone in the world will know what Dayeon’s pussy looks like, and all the expressions she makes when she’s feeling it. There’s no greater disgrace for the Geumhwa Group. I guarantee the Geumhwa Group’s stock price will plummet. Right?”
Choi Jeonghwa’s face turned bright red. She clenched her fists and trembled.
“You, you, you…! Do you think I’ll just stand by after this?! I can turn around and kill you! The Geumhwa Group has enough power to do that!”
“If you kill me, my mom will go crazy too. And you shouldn’t even think about killing me secretly here.”
Snap!
I snapped my fingers.
A thunder owl appeared next to me.
“Kook!”
The thunder owl greeted Choi Jeonghwa and then disappeared back into its spirit form. Choi Jeonghwa’s face turned pale.
“You might not know, Auntie, since you don’t have any spiritual sense, but my spirit is in this room. If something happens to me, it’ll immediately run to my mom and tell her.”
“I, I’m sorry. I lost my temper for a moment.”
“This is your last chance. Say anything else you want to say. If not, let’s stop here. Ah, I want to fuck Dayeon’s pussy~”
Grind.
I could hear the sound of her teeth grinding.
“I, I have a proposal. Don’t you want money? Or maybe you want a specific elixir or artifact….”
“I don’t need it. I can get most things myself.”
“A company? I have an auto parts company that I run. I’ll give it to you. It has over 20 billion in sales and about 300 employees. How about it? Don’t you want to be called CEO?”
“No matter how much I think about it, I’d rather hear Dayeon call me master.”
“……”
“……”
I remained silent. Choi Jeonghwa realized that I wanted something else.
“…What do you want?”
“First, money. About 5 billion? Give it to me on a card. And a nice supercar as well.”
“……And?”
“Sexual desire. Dayeon isn’t satisfying my sexual desires, so someone else has to, right? I don’t want a whore.”
“…There’s an actress who suits you well. It’ll be a big loss for us, but… you’ll like her. She’s a famous actress just by name.”
“A sex bribe? Heh. The Geumhwa Group has really gone that far.”
“It’s not a sex bribe. It’s paying a fair price for that actress’s life.”
“That’s a sex bribe, Auntie. But I don’t like that. And the woman I want is….”
“…The woman you want is?”
I put on a sly smile and looked at Choi Jeonghwa with a blatant gaze. Choi Jeonghwa was startled and jumped up from her chair.
“Y, you’re crazy! A, are you saying you want me right now?!”
“Auntie. I’m going to make you a proposal, so listen carefully. You see these photos and videos of Dayeon here?”
I shook my smartphone from side to side. Choi Jeonghwa’s eyes followed the smartphone.
“You’re going to imitate Dayeon in these photos and videos. Then I’ll delete those videos and photos. Including the ones on the internet. There are about 10 videos and 300 photos. If you suffer for about 1-2 weeks, you can delete all the photos and videos. How about it?”
“Y, you want me to do the things in those photos…?! With you?!”
“If you don’t want to, fine. I’m in a bad mood now, so I’ll just upload Dayeon’s photos and videos on the internet. Tonight will be the night the Geumhwa Group collapses.”
I got up from the bed. I turned around and headed out of the room as if I had no regrets.
“N, no!”
