Chapter 944 – 944. Savior Of The Academy
After finishing dinner, we stopped by a nearby animal cafe.
It was a dog cafe.
Kang Ji-young, true to her name, was quite fond of dogs. This was information I knew from the original game. However, Kang Ji-young didn’t show it. Of course, she didn’t refuse when I suggested going to a dog cafe either.
Kang Ji-young, more serious than ever, disinfected her hands and read the cafe’s rules.
“…I didn’t expect you to look for a dog cafe. Do you like dogs?”
“I’m quite fond of them.”
I said without batting an eye.
To be honest, I neither disliked nor liked them. I had no interest in pets. Whether it was dogs or cats, they were a nuisance. If it were a pretty human female, that would be a different story.
We sat at a suitable table together. A small puppy got tangled around Kang Ji-young. Kang Ji-young smiled faintly and stroked the puppy’s head. Perhaps it recognized that she was a good person. Other dogs also gathered around her.
On the other hand, no dogs gathered around me. Perhaps feeling sorry for me, a medium-sized mutt came wagging its tail. I glanced at it. It was a male. From an angle where Kang Ji-young couldn’t see, I kicked the mutt with my foot. The mutt dared to glare at me before heading towards Kang Ji-young.
“It seems dogs don’t like you very much.”
“So it seems.”
I took a sip of my orangeade.
After spending some time at the dog cafe, we went outside.
9:32 PM.
The promised date time was until 10 PM. There was less than 30 minutes left.
I turned my head to the side. Kang Ji-young was walking forward, looking ahead. Her confident face seemed like it wouldn’t waver no matter what happened.
“Can I hold your hand?”
“Is there a need to hold hands?”
“We’re on a date right now.”
“……”
Kang Ji-young’s eyes twitched. She sighed softly and then held out her hand to me. I took her hand.
“It reminds me of the old days.”
“…It was. When you were little, you especially held my hand a lot.”
After finding out that Sung Ha-ri and Kang Ji-young were friends, I often pestered Sung Ha-ri to meet Kang Ji-young. There was also the reason of laying the groundwork to target Kang Ji-young, but I also met her often because she was a beauty. Kang Ji-young’s appearance was almost unchanged compared to a few years ago.
“I’m thinking of starting a club this time…”
“There’s nothing I can do to help when you start a club. Just follow the regulations. One faculty advisor and five club members. As long as it’s not a strange club, the approval will be quick.”
We were walking and talking when it happened.
Drip. Drip-drip. Drip.
Rain started to fall. One drop, two drops, three drops. The rain that was falling slowly turned into a downpour in less than 10 seconds. Swish, swish, swish. The sudden downpour was so absurd that I was speechless.
Everyone nearby was startled by the downpour and hurriedly ran away.
Kang Ji-young and I stood still.
“Aren’t you going to run?”
I asked.
“Isn’t it funny to run away from this little downpour? And it’s already too late to run away.”
She and I were completely soaked. Kang Ji-young’s blouse was wet and clung to her skin. I could see the ample bra protecting her ample chest.
I took off my jacket and put it over her head. Kang Ji-young looked at me with a puzzled expression.
“Is there any point?”
“It’s better than getting rained on continuously.”
“I don’t catch colds.”
“Still, boyfriends usually do this.”
“You seem to watch a lot of dramas.”
“My mom watches dramas when she’s bored.”
I took a step forward. As I got closer, Kang Ji-young sighed.
“You and I are not that kind of relationship.”
“We are still that kind of relationship. It’s 57 minutes. For the next 3 minutes, we are.”
Kang Ji-young’s eyes wavered. I knew she was hesitating. Normally, it wouldn’t have worked at all. But the atmosphere I had created so far and the 3 minutes left.
Just 3 minutes.
Wouldn’t that be okay? That easygoing thought made her hesitate. Her hesitation itself was an opportunity for me. I grabbed her jacket and pulled it slightly. The jacket covered Kang Ji-young’s face. Since there was no one around and her face was covered, her mental wall would have loosened a little.
“I can’t understand. There are many better women than me. Especially among your peers…”
“Right now, I only see Ji-young, you.”
Kang Ji-young stared intently into my eyes. My eyes reflected in hers were unwavering and looking straight ahead.
“…It’s exactly 3 minutes.”
Kang Ji-young said and closed her eyes.
I smiled slightly.
I had gone on today’s date to create this atmosphere. The plan was a success. It was only a 3-minute kiss time, but this would be a turning point.
I lowered my head.
Wet lips met. Soft and yet resilient. Kang Ji-young didn’t move. She just left it to me. I had no intention of disappointing her. I slowly rubbed my lips together and then opened them. Her lips also opened while still touching mine.
Twitch.
Kang Ji-young’s body trembled once. I put my tongue into her mouth.
‘Don’t move too quickly. Normally, my kissing technique would have completely captivated her… but this isn’t normal.’
If I showed off my kissing technique for sex, the atmosphere I had created would be broken. I had to hold back now. I slowly mixed my tongue with hers. Her tongue twitched every time my tongue touched it.
After a little time, she seemed to be heating up, and her tongue began to move passively. Only then did I kiss her more passionately. I moved my lips and inserted my tongue deeper.
“Ugh…”
Kang Ji-young put her hand on my shoulder. Her trembling hand soon pushed my shoulder away. A sticky thread of saliva connected our lips but broke. A drop of water flowed down her chin. I couldn’t tell if it was rainwater or saliva.
“3 minutes have passed. The date ends here. Let’s part ways now.”
Kang Ji-young spoke more coldly than usual. And she walked away without hesitation. My jacket was still on her head.
I chuckled. Before she left, I confirmed that her face had turned red.
I planted a seed.
However, for a seed to sprout, it needs attention. It needs to feel the sunlight and be watered. Now was the important part.
I picked up my smartphone.
11:02 PM.
We had kissed for 5 minutes, not 3.
I watched Kang Ji-young’s back as she walked away, with Thousand Eyes activated. Step, step. Kang Ji-young, who had been walking confidently in the downpour, suddenly stopped and punched herself in the head with a fist.
“Heh, heh heh.”
I laughed out loud.
She was probably embarrassed that she had momentarily felt romantic feelings for her friend’s son.

Finally, after confirming that her affection had surpassed 60, I returned home. Sung Ha-ri would be waiting eagerly.

I opened the door to the disciplinary committee room.
My face was crumpled as if I had eaten a bug.
It wasn’t that I wanted to come. It was more like I was summoned. The demerit points I had accumulated from being late as if it were a daily meal had exploded today. In other words, I was in a position where I had to do something as punishment, like cleaning the bathroom.
‘Damn it. I have to clean the bathroom at this age… I should summon Mocha or Makina and make them do it. If I put a spirit stone on them, they’ll clean it up on their own.’
I grumbled in annoyance and looked around the disciplinary committee room. The disciplinary committee room was currently less than half full. Most of the second-year students were out on internships.
“You’re Sung Yu-jin, right? You can go into the head’s office.”
“Yes.”
I answered the third-year senior and went into the head’s office. The head of the disciplinary committee, Namgung Hwa-yeon, was working on some documents again today.
“Just a moment… I’m almost done.”
I sat down in front of her. I glanced at the documents. It was a log. She was briefly writing down what had happened today. My name was written there. I had received demerit points for being late. In addition, several other people’s names were written there.
“Senior, you’re a second-year, so aren’t you going on an internship?”
“I’m the head of the disciplinary committee. Some of us, including me, have internship schedules that are a bit different from other students. I’m recognized for my work as the head of the disciplinary committee, so my internship period is also shorter.”
Namgung Hwa-yeon moved her pen and wrote the last paragraph. Special Notes – Spirit and Building Check. Report attached separately.
“So, where should I clean? Please assign me a clean bathroom.”
“Clean the bathroom? Ah, I’m sorry, but your punishment is to check and clean the spirit and building with me.”
“Spirit and building? Isn’t that where ghosts come out?”
“There are such rumors.”
Every school has a few spooky rumors.
Maruhan Academy also had seven mysteries, and all of those mysteries were concentrated in the spirit and building that were no longer in use. There was even an event in the original work where you explored the spirit department. However, the event that was happening now was not that one.
“…I don’t understand. Why the spirit department?”
“Didn’t a spirit department teacher come this time?”
“Ah.”
Kales.
A dark elf in charge of the spirit department.
“With the appearance of the spirit department teacher, an order was issued by the vice-principal. To check and clean the spirit department building that was abandoned 13 years ago. Since there isn’t much budget, it seems they’re trying to reuse the abandoned building.”
“The disciplinary committee is doing that?”
“The teachers and staff are busy with internships. And that’s what the disciplinary committee mostly does. The name is the disciplinary committee, but it’s no different from being errand runners. Well, we get something out of it, so I’m not complaining.”
She got up from her seat. She didn’t forget to take the sword from her waist.
“Are we really cleaning the building by ourselves? Just the two of us?”
“You’ll know when you get there. And you’re not in a position to refuse right now, are you?”
“Tch…”
Demerit points!
The karma I had accumulated from happily being late over the past few days had come back as a nuisance.
‘…No, it’s not. I’m going to be moving with Namgung Hwa-yeon… Is this luck?’
I licked my lips and started thinking. I began to plan how to get closer to Namgung Hwa-yeon.
***
You’ll know when you get there.
I realized the meaning of those words.
Because someone else was waiting in front of the abandoned building.
Gray hair and supple brown skin. Dark gray eyes and thick lips. It was Kales, the dark elf and spirit department teacher. She was wearing a long skirt with a slit on the side, just like when I first saw her. Her firm brown thighs and slender calves were very sexy.
“You’re here?”
“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”
Namgung Hwa-yeon said apologetically.
“No. I just got here too. Hehe.”
Kales made a nasal sound while looking at me. Her eyes were filled with curiosity.
“You’re Sung Yu-jin, right?”
“…Do you know me?”
“Of course, I know you. Because you’re the only spirit user in the academy besides me.”
As she said, I was the only spirit user in the academy. The spirit department at Maruhan Academy was currently abolished. That fact was so well-known that you could find it with a simple internet search. So, those among the academy’s entrants who had the talent of a spirit user didn’t bother to enroll in the academy.
“Originally, I was also supposed to be a guard department teacher, not a spirit department teacher… but there was a very influential person in the parents’ association. In a way, I became a spirit department teacher because of you.”
“Because of me… I’m sorry.”
Kales came next to me. Her hand, which had been touching my shoulder, touched my cheek. Her nails were a bit long, but it wasn’t bad to be touched by a beauty. She also had a nice scent, similar to the forest.
I roughly guessed what had happened. Sung Ha-ri must have used her power. Sung Ha-ri had a good reason this time, so she must have been very insistent.
“You don’t have to apologize. To be honest, I’m satisfied. I only have to worry about you instead of many students. And… you smell good. Your spirit affinity is quite high. The spirits must like you very much. Hehe… And the elves too.”
I could feel Kales’ breath on my cheek, which tickled.
I opened the status window to check if her words were true.
『Name: Kales
Strength: B Stamina: B- Agility: A- Durability: C Mana: B+
Traits: Dark Forest (A+)
Skills: Stealth (S), Spirit Magic (A), Dagger Arts (S).
Affection: 50』
Her affection was 50 from the start.
Her words were true.
‘Maybe I’m the type that elves are drawn to…’
I learned something good.
