Chapter 2319 – 2319. Savior Of The Academy
I took the fried rice I made and headed to Han Harin’s place.
It was too good to eat alone.
Unfortunately, there was no one at Han Harin’s house. Han Harin was a B-class hunter. Moreover, she was a hunter belonging to Suwol Guild, one of the top ten guilds. This meant she was never free.
I was also affiliated with a guild called Seventier, but honestly, I wasn’t very interested in the Seventier Guild. It was more like I just had my name on the list. Even Kang Seoksu, who could be called the representative of Seventier, didn’t ask anything of me.
‘If they bother me, I’ll just quit right away.’
I had no attachment to the Seventier Guild at all.
I decided to lie down on Han Harin’s sofa and wait for her to return. It wouldn’t take long.
As I lay still, memories from before my regression came to mind. It was a mess and destroyed by a vengeful virgin ghost, but the important thing wasn’t the virgin ghost. There were many dangerous elements even without the virgin ghost.
‘The SSS-class giant sealed in the Pacific Ocean, the body of a god, didn’t seem that dangerous. I easily absorbed the guy who tried to absorb me into Trinity.’
Honestly, it was so easy that I doubted why the World Hunter Association bothered to seal it. The association president, who had inherited Trinity, could have easily handled it.
‘…Is it just easy for me?’
The difference between the association president and me. It wouldn’t be strength. The association president in good condition would be much stronger than me.
‘It must be because of the Absolute Spirit.’
Without the Absolute Spirit… wouldn’t there be a higher chance of being eaten by the giant? So, they sealed it.
I thought about other problems.
The dungeon break that occurred when the Earth’s god disappeared. This wasn’t just a problem with dungeons. It affected everything else. Yokai, vampires, and others appeared and caused chaos.
‘The World Hunter Association will take care of the minor things. The biggest problem is Pylon in China. If all the hidden Pylons start rampaging… China won’t be able to handle it and will be destroyed.’
Pylon was annoying.
I wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible… but it was impossible with my current strength. Even if I informed the Hunter Association about Pylon, it would be the same. If they had the ability to wipe out Pylon, they would have already done it.
‘It’s also a bit much to inform the association about this. If they ask about the source of the information, I’ll be at a loss for words.’
Should I reveal the fact that I regressed? Since I have proof, I could be recognized. But it was obvious that things would get annoying afterward. I wanted to act freely in reality.
‘Let’s put it on hold for now. Pylon are intelligent, so they won’t start rampaging right away.’
I decided to check the items I had obtained before the regression.
First, I took out the doll that sealed the god from my inventory. It was a female doll with blonde hair and white skin. She was wearing a white dress, and I liked that her chest area was significantly puffed up.
‘A human favored by a god… they said it was made by imitating Joan of Arc.’
My hand reached for the doll’s chest.
It was completely cold and hard. I felt the hardness of metal. There was no shape, let alone the feel of a nipple.
Feeling uneasy, I took off the doll’s dress.
It was a body made of hard, smooth metal. There was nothing between her legs. The joints had grooves, giving it the distinct feel of a metal doll.
‘I didn’t expect there to be no belly button. The details are a bit disappointing.’
I understood why she was wearing a white dress. It made her feel more human.
‘I heard that most of the wealth the World Hunter Association possessed at the time went into making this doll. What should I use this for?’
It was said to have been made to seal the Earth’s god. I didn’t know if it could be used for anything else.
‘It’s probably not made of ordinary materials. Should I melt it down and use it to make a weapon or armor?’
But I felt it was a waste to do so.
After pondering, I picked up my smartphone and called Madoka.
“Madoka, search for Joan of Arc.”
-Joan of Arc is one of the saints of France. She received a divine revelation and became a commander, leading the Hundred Years’ War to victory. She was blonde, 175cm tall, and said to be a beautiful woman with a large chest. Some scholars claim that Joan of Arc was black-haired, but the accepted theory is that she was blonde.
“There are also guys who claim that King Arthur was a man. They’re just crazy attention seekers.”
How should I use the doll? The answer came to me.
Pzzzt.
Thin lightning bolts shot out from the tips of my fingers and seeped into the doll. There was no resistance since it was metal.
Feeling the connection, I moved my fingers. The doll suddenly stood up, then fell to the floor.
I focused as much as possible to control the doll. The doll trembled and stood up. The doll’s leg moved forward, then it lost its balance and fell.
‘It’s a bit different from controlling my own body.’
I knew why. The inside of the doll was empty. There were no nerves or muscles at all. If I wanted to perfectly control this doll like a puppet, it seemed like practice was the only way. I wasn’t sure if I could use it.
I kept feeling like I could do something if I didn’t give up.
-That’s an excellent doll. I can feel a strong spiritual power. Could you give it to me?
“To you? Do you know how expensive this thing is?”
-If I had a body, I could assist Sex Supreme more actively.
Should I just give it to Madoka? After thinking for about 10 seconds, I shook my head.
“I need to practice, so no.”
I got tired of that practice after about 5 minutes.
I took out the Spear of Longinus from my inventory.
A pure white spear. If I focused, I could feel a mysterious power.
I could use this spear to eliminate dimensional rifts and dungeons. It also exerted power against evil things. It was also possible to undo seals. It could be used in quite a variety of ways, but… the more I used it, the more the power imbued in the spear disappeared.
‘There’s no place to use it right now. It won’t be helpful in the battle against Brahmassen. It’s too weak to inflict damage on Brahmassen with this.’
The doll that could seal a god and the Spear of Longinus. Both were treasures that couldn’t be valued, but there was no place to use them right now.
-If you give me that doll, I’m confident I can use it well. My only weakness is that I don’t have a suitable body. I’m almost invincible in the cyber world, but I can’t use any power outside of it. If I get a body, the first thing I’ll do is start a company and gather all the money in the world to help Sex Supreme….
Madoka desperately expressed her opinion. She seemed to really want the doll. Her persistence was quite funny, so I decided to listen. Of course, I had no intention of giving the doll to Madoka.
‘Come to think of it, there was an item that would be useful in the current situation.’
[Pygmalion’s Love
Materializes a figure.
Price – 2,000,000
※Caution
Can only be used on a single figure.
The figure must have detailed settings.
The quality of the figure must be high.]
‘Can I use it on the doll?’
[Can be used on the target. Would you like to use it?]
‘It’s usable.’
I was about to use it without thinking, but I stopped with superhuman patience.
The world was destroyed because of the vengeful virgin ghost. I couldn’t predict how materializing the doll would affect the world.
‘Even if I use it, I should use it in a fictional world, not reality.’
Time passed, and Han Harin returned home.
Before Han Harin could even take off her clothes, I handed her the fried rice.
“Harin, I made this fried rice, and it’s seriously amazing. Try it.”
I even spoon-fed her. But instead of opening her mouth, Han Harin took a step back. She looked at me and the fried rice alternately with suspicious eyes.
“What did you put in the fried rice?”
“I put in fried rice ingredients. Just try it. It’s really amazing, I tell you?”
“……”
Han Harin, who was suspicious, eventually opened her mouth and accepted the fried rice.
Her eyes widened, and her pupils shook like crazy. I could clearly feel the greed in her gaze as she looked at the fried rice.
“…It’s delicious. Did you really make this?”
“I’ve reached the divine realm when it comes to fried rice. Do you want more?”
“……Give me more.”
It was the first time I had seen Han Harin being so gluttonous. If Han Harin was like this, it would probably work on other people too.
That day, Han Harin ate three bowls of fried rice. It was fun to touch her plump belly.

[You have chosen the Savior of the Academy.]
[The game begins.]
I entered the world of the Savior of the Academy. It was a cool autumn day. Midterm exams were coming up soon.
Nothing would happen during this midterm exam. The incident would occur during the final exam, in winter.
‘Hmm. A student’s duty is to study. I should focus on my studies for the time being.’
The academy’s grades were 80% or more for practical skills and practice, and the remaining 20% was for written exams. Just because the written exam ratio was low didn’t mean it could be ignored. My ranking could drop because of these written exam scores.
My current ranking in my grade was 1st. I had to prepare for the written exam.
‘With my brain, I can’t just study. I need to prepare a cheat sheet.’
I could use the Heavenly Eye to cheat. The problem was that if the people I was cheating off of got it wrong, I would also get it wrong.
‘Using spirits would be immediately obvious… is bribing a teacher more likely?’
I was sitting on a bench, thinking about this and that, when I saw a woman walking a little distance away.
A woman with black hair tied in a ponytail. She was wearing a short skirt that slightly revealed her thighs, and a ring-pommel sword was equipped at her waist. She had an armband on her arm that signified that she was a member of the disciplinary committee.
The woman with a serious expression on her face, the head of the disciplinary committee, Namgung Hwayeon.
She was circling around with a serious face, as if she had some serious worries.
‘Namgung Hwayeon is a playable character. A character who has events happen even if she just stands still. Let’s see, what kind of event could happen to Namgung Hwayeon around this time….’
I thought of about three. They were nothing to others, but they were events that were not easy for the person involved to overcome.
‘The problem with Namgung Hwayeon is that she takes even small things too seriously.’
I got up from the bench and approached Namgung Hwayeon. It was perfect timing. Let’s raise Namgung Hwayeon’s favorability this time. Her current favorability was….
『Namgung Hwayeon’s Favorability: 38』
‘Last time I saw it, it was over 40, wasn’t it? Her favorability dropped while I wasn’t looking.’
It was inevitable.
She didn’t notice me approaching and continued to circle around. I put my hand on her shoulder.
“Namgung Hwayeon, senior.”
“Huh?!”
Startled, Namgung Hwayeon reflexively grabbed my arm and threw me into the sky.
I could have dealt with it, but I purposely let it happen. That way, Namgung Hwayeon would feel sorry for me.
