Episode 374 – Academy (21)

The charity auction has begun.

Chinese high-ranking officials who were enjoying the party in groups gathered one by one into the main hall.

“Hello! My name is Zhang Liu, and I am in charge of Sichuan Province. “I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who attended today’s auction…”

The mayor came up on stage and greeted me with style and shouted.

“All proceeds from today’s auction will be donated to the foundation established by Fudomyeo. Because that Zhang Liu doesn’t make a single penny. You must not misunderstand! Haha.”

Ending with exaggerated laughter. The mayor came off the stage. He took a seat in a little corner and whispered to the mercenary next to him.

“Is there still anything suspicious? “If an assassin is targeting me, he won’t miss today.”
“The movement of the surrounding monsters is a bit strange… But it’s within the expected range, so don’t worry.”

“···Really?”
“Believe me, you haven’t done business with us once or twice. “The mayor is safe.”

The mayor nodded at the mercenary’s confident words. I have no choice but to believe that they are at least worth the money.

Still, I couldn’t completely forget my anxiety, so I bit my nails.

“Oooh…!”
“Is this a level 7 elixir from the beginning?”

Exclamations of exclamation were heard from all around. The host picked up the microphone and shouted loudly.

“This is the inner altar of red silk! It has been certified as a level 7 elixir by the Pension Association, so you don’t have to worry about its effectiveness. Then! “The auction will start from 6 million yuan!”

6 million yuan was equivalent to over 1 billion won in Korean currency.

“6.5 million!”
“I want to buy it for my son, so please yield! 10 million!”
“15 million! “I’m sorry, but I really need it too.”
“Ik… 19 million!”

The price soared instantly. Since it was an elixir that was effective even for 7-star superhumans, it was well worth it.

The mayor breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the overheated atmosphere. Fortunately, the auction seemed likely to end successfully.

‘···I just have to endure today.’

The charity auction was both a trap to catch the assassin and a future safety measure.

Fudongmyeo, the living guardian deity of China. As long as they could catch his eye, assassins were no longer a threat.

I believed that if I gave up all the profits I earned today, King Myeong would send at least one of his royal guards.

‘It doesn’t matter who the assassin is. ‘No matter how big of a bastard he is, he can’t disobey King Myeong.’

Before we knew it, the auction was coming to an end. The most precious main product came onto the stage.

Saruk.

Long ebony hair that reached down to her waist was blowing in the wind.

A woman walked lightly with bare white feet and stood in the center of the podium. She politely placed her hands together at her navel and bowed her head slightly.

She had opaque cotton thread wrapped around her whole body, and just from the glimpse of her jawline, one could be sure that she was a striking beauty.

Slurp.

The moment the cotton yarn that covered her face came down. There was silence everywhere.

“Huh.”
“···Human? No, it’s the beast people.”
“Gulp. “What kind of beauty is this… What kind of species is it?”

By the time the murmur had died down. The host said with a grin.

“Today’s main product! This is the slave submitted by the mayor. First of all, let me tell you the most important thing: this girl is a 5-star awakened person and a member of the White Tiger clan.”

“···White tiger tribe?”
“Nonsense! “Are you that obedient?”

The beast people had such distinct personalities that it was hard to believe they were one race. Dogs, cows, wolves, eagles, etc. Each animal had a different prototype.

In addition, each animal had a different personality, while the beast people, who were primarily herbivores like cows and sheep, were generally docile. Carnivores like wolves were difficult to tame and were violent.

The White Tiger tribe is the best among them. It was a species known for its roughness.

No, it was so rare to begin with that there was no proper information about it. The information floating around in the market was nothing more than rumors.

Haha. Of course, it might be hard to believe based on words alone. “I will show it to you.”

The host took out the remote control and pressed a button.

Ugh!

Her light flowed from the necklace she was wearing, and her magic that had been sealed within her was released.

The moment the white tiger woman slowly closed her eyes.

Ears as white as her eyes rose from the top of her head.

“Oooh!”

The back of her flowing skirt is slightly lifted. Her tiger’s distinctive striped tail stuck out and swayed gently.

It was different from an ordinary tiger. White and black were mixed harmoniously, giving off an elegant feeling like an ink painting drawn on drawing paper.

“Huh! “They are truly white tigers.”

The old man, who was swallowing his saliva in admiration, asked a question.

“Mayor. “Where did you get that?”
“Haha. I was lucky enough to catch it a while ago. The beauty is amazing, isn’t it? “It would be a shame for me to sell it, but I prepared it to show my sincerity to King Myeong.”

“Indeed… How on earth did you educate them? “He’s very gentle.”

Hehe. I can only say that I was lucky. Beast people have very different personalities, right? This bitch was quite fierce at first… But she was still a beast. “Is there any business in Mae?”

When the mayor gestured, the host waved her whip as if she had been waiting.

Wow!

“Ugh.”

The White Tiger woman shrugged her shoulders. Even though I hit her on the thigh, she didn’t feel like an enemy. Instead of frowning, she hunched her shoulders as if she were scared.

“Indeed. Even if you say it’s a white tiger, it’s ultimately a beastman tribe. You’re very scared. “It would be nice to use her as a maid, but it would be difficult to use her as an escort.”

“Uh-huh! What are you talking about? Wouldn’t that depend on how you educate them? Even if you say that, the price won’t drop.”
“Hum hum.”

Greed seeped into people’s eyes as they listened to the mayor’s jokes. The will to buy it was conveyed.

***

The White Tiger tribe was auctioned off as a product without a name.

Baek A-yeon, who had just been whipped, lowered her head. I could feel the lustful eyes of the humans, but I was just peaceful.

Despite her frightened exterior, her inner heart was calm. Like a lake without any wind. I kept my composure and waited for the right moment.

At that time.

The old man, who was licking his black lips, shouted as if he was lustful and could not bear it.

“Hey moderator! “Can I just touch it once before the auction starts?”
“It’s not possible. She is a virgin in her purity. “It is difficult to do anything that would lower the value of her product.”

“Eng…! It’s not like it’s worn out. “You have to taste it to decide whether to buy it or not!”
“That’s right! “Let’s at least make sure she’s a virgin!”

The host grinned. She said, spreading her palms as if to calm down.

“Everyone please calm down. “I knew you would, so I prepared.”

Flap!

People narrowed their eyes at the shaking magic scroll.

“That···?”
“This is a scroll containing a virgin identification spell! It’s quite a rare item, but I prepared it for auction today. “Is there anyone who can check if it’s genuine?”

Several people rushed up to the stage. After looking carefully, everyone nodded.

“It’s genuine.”

Baek A-yeon took a breath while watching their actions.

Virgin identification. It was a funny name, but I couldn’t let down my guard.

Magic created by human desire. The principle was simple, but the level of magic involved was ridiculously high. It was a top-level detection magic that read the body’s memories.

Of the many tests she had to pass to get to this position, this was the most overwhelmingly difficult.

‘Whoo…’

I calmed my mind and built a wall around my thoughts. I put all my effort into hiding my state.

Wow!

The scroll containing condensed magical power was torn, and strange waves swept through her body.

Magical power, well-woven like a spider’s web, permeated through the meridians.

Buzz buzz!

Some of the magical energy heading towards the lower abdomen passed by the Danjeon. That alone almost destroyed the clan’s vision of sealing magical power.

By the time she shed a drop of cold sweat.

The eyes of those watching in the audience, especially the men, lit up.

“···Indeed. You are a pure virgin. Perfect.”
“How much will it go up? “I don’t know if I have enough money.”

“If you don’t have money, get out. “Don’t just raise the price.”
“Who do you like?”

The host shouted as the atmosphere became increasingly rough.

“Come on, the auction will start right away, so everyone calm down. If you raise them well, you have the opportunity to have a loyal guard and a concubine at the same time! “The auction price will start at 50 million yuan.”

Telling him to calm down was of no use. From the beginning, the host subtly encouraged people.

“Oooh! 120 million yuan! Is there nothing more! If there really aren’t any, the auction will end in 5 seconds! “Missing the first and last opportunity to save an obedient white tiger slave-“

That was when the excited host screamed, even splashing her saliva.

Pow!

His head exploded.

“Uh?”

Everyone froze like a stone statue due to the sudden situation.

-Keeeeek!

Suddenly, a loud noise was heard from the sky, as if my eardrums were torn.

Kwaang!!

The sound of a bomb exploding rang out. A huge pillar of earth rose from the center of the main hall.

The ground shook as if there had been an earthquake. This was because the monster, which had a body so massive that it could be called a pterosaur, crashed down vertically.

“W-what!”

At the same time as someone’s sharp scream. The monster that had been pinned to the ground staggered and got up.

-Kkiik!

A bright red light flowed from its eyes, creating magical power.

Hehe!

A chilling wind rose. The moment when a faint afterimage swept everywhere.

“Huh?!”

The old man who was most enthusiastically participating in the auction was split lengthwise.

Sigh!

With red blood drops. The limbs of the laughing and chattering humans began to scatter in all directions.

“Aaaaah!”
“S-It’s an attack! “Run away!”
