Chapter 2527 – 2527. Savior Of The Academy

Whether Korea went to hell or not, I lived my own life.

During the day, I received education at the academy, and in the afternoon, I worked as a hero. At night? I spent wild nights with women.

‘Busy. So busy.’

And in my spare time, I eliminated the causes of events within the academy.

Cursed books, hidden magical passages that connected to the outside when conditions were met, and potential human traitors who couldn’t resist the devil’s temptation and made contracts to become demons.

I burned the cursed books with lightning, and physically buried the hidden magical passages.

Potential traitors? I held back from killing them. The original story had changed. I couldn’t be sure that these guys would really make contracts with the devil.

‘If they make a contract with the devil later, I’ll kill them right away.’

Even if they become demons, they won’t become strong enough to threaten me. The academy students, who aren’t active heroes, are all about the same level. There are less than 30 people in the academy who have the skills to be active heroes. Of course, my standard is above a C-class hero.

‘Heroes below C-class? They’re not heroes. They’re just civil servants with superpowers.’

The reality is the same. Real hunter treatment starts from C-class and above.

‘Now the academy is safe.’

For now.

I’ve done everything I can. In other words, the events that will happen in the future won’t happen.

‘The only events that will happen inside the academy will be peaceful ones. Dangerous events will come from the outside.’

I was also dealing with the events that would come from the outside.

I looked out from the academy corridor. Snow was falling heavily from the sky. The staff working at the academy were having a hard time clearing the snow every day. The academy students were also regularly clearing the accumulating snow.

‘I heard a rumor that Maruhan Academy spent a fortune on climate manipulation magic a while ago.’

As you can see, the result was meaningless.

Thanks to that, the head of the academy, Kang Ji-young, must have a complicated mind.

‘Should I start building a cooperative relationship with Kang Ji-young?’

Kang Ji-young is difficult to deal with.

She’s not only strong, but her personality is too rigid. She’s an excessive workaholic and has her own stubbornness.

She believes that academy students should spend their school days like students. Of course, that doesn’t mean she tries to suppress the students’ freedom. Rather, she respects the students’ youth. That’s why she doesn’t interfere even if students openly date at the academy.

I visited Kang Ji-young after a long time. I faced her in the headmaster’s office.

Long blackish-brown hair, an expressionless face, a woman with a height slightly taller than my 180cm and a voluptuous chest. Looking at her, I was reminded of a solid rock and cold steel.

『Name: Kang Ji-young
Strength: S+ Stamina: SS Agility: A+ Durability: S+ Mana: A+
Traits: Eye of Horus (SS), Wolf of the Earth (S)
Skills: Greatsword (S), Magic (A), Sixth Sense (S), Super Strength (A), Natural Recovery (S).
Favorability: 50』

I reflexively checked her status window.

Her stats were not much different from when I saw them before. She had finished growing. From now on, she would only get weaker… Seeing that her stats hadn’t changed, I could tell how strict she was with her management.

‘Her favorability has dropped a bit.’

It was natural. I hadn’t been able to meet her for quite a while. Compared to the time we hadn’t met, it was rather less than I expected.

‘It’s a relief that her favorability didn’t drop below 50.’

Favorability 50 is the stage where you start to feel romantic feelings. Of course, I can’t just rely on favorability to date her. Unless Kang Ji-young is the type of person who prioritizes dating. She’s a workaholic who prioritizes work over dating. If I confess now, I’ll be 100% rejected.

“It’s been a while since you’ve come to the headmaster’s office. Did you cause an accident?”

“I didn’t cause an accident. An accident is about to happen. No, has it already happened?”

I pointed to the window in the headmaster’s office. You could see a panoramic view of the academy. But all I could see now was pure white snow.

“…Do you know the cause?”

“You’ve already seen it with that eye.”

Kang Ji-young’s trait, Eye of Horus (SS), can see a little bit of the future, the past, and so on. For people with low mental barriers, she can even read their inner thoughts and memories. But those are just additional things.

The real power of the Eye of Horus (SS) is seeing the essence. It has tremendous insight.

Her blackish-brown eyes glowed bright blue. She had used the Eye of Horus.

“…Even when I look, I can’t see it. It’s like you. There are two causes. Either you have an excellent mental barrier, or you have something of a higher level than my eyes. In your case, it could be called a spirit eye.”

Strictly speaking, it’s not because of the spirit eye. The spirit eye (S+) is a bit lower in level than the Eye of Horus (SS). Even so, the reason why the Eye of Horus can’t see my essence is because of the influence of the absolute spirit or because I’m a player.

“Is it the work of a high-ranking spirit?”

“If it were, Mom would have stepped in to solve it first.”

Seong Ha-ri was the natural enemy of spirits. Even if high-ranking spirits above the upper level went wild, they couldn’t move in front of Seong Ha-ri.

“…It would have been easier if it were that… I guess not. What’s the cause? Do you want a price for the information?”

If I said I wanted a price here, Kang Ji-young would pay a price. But her favorability would go down.

“This is my problem too. The heavy snowfall that’s falling now is a sign of the third legion commander’s descent. I don’t know what price they’re paying for the descent, but soon the third legion commander, the frost beast Zarkan, will descend on the academy.”

A beast who was born as the lowest-level demon, killed countless demons, and rose to become a legion commander.

Kang Ji-young’s eyes trembled.

“…Why?”

A legion commander descending directly. It was a kind of death sentence. It wasn’t just the academy that was in trouble. Korea itself was in danger of being destroyed.

Even so, Kang Ji-young was calm. You could say she was a veteran warrior.

“Why is he trying to descend on Maruhan Academy instead of Seoul?”

“I don’t know that either. It seems like there’s something that bothers him at Maruhan Academy.”

Actually, I know.

They’re bothered by the playable characters. Now that the original story has changed, it must be to kill me.

“Ji-young. We need to prepare.”

“…You’re suddenly getting familiar. Call me Headmaster.”

『Kang Ji-young’s Favorability: 47』

Kang Ji-young’s favorability dropped sharply. I called her name to test the waters a bit, but it was a failure.

“Headmaster. We need to prepare.”

“Are you saying we should call the military and the Hero Association to prepare? Do you think they’ll believe you?”

“Do you believe me, Headmaster? There’s no clear evidence about the descent of the third legion commander.”

“I believe you. You’re not the type of man to joke about this. But I’m curious. How did you get this information?”

I smiled and raised my fist.

Heavenly Demon Divine Art (天魔神功) Heavenly Demon Asura (天魔修羅).

Black heavenly demon energy wrapped around my fist. Kang Ji-young’s eyes widened.

“Jeokgwang…! You were Jeokgwang?!”

As expected, she recognized me right away. No, it would have been stranger if she didn’t. This was a technique that was synonymous with Jeokgwang, who had recently become famous.

She was surprised for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.

“Are you going to kill me?”

She asked playfully.

She was also an S-class hero belonging to the Korean Hero Association.

“I’m not going to kill you. I don’t particularly support Jeokgwang, but I’m not interested in catching Jeokgwang.”

“You felt a sense of satisfaction from Jeokgwang’s actions, didn’t you?”

“……It would be a lie to say no. Did you get the information about the third legion commander’s descent from demons and devils?”

“That’s right. And even if the third legion commander descends with his legion, he won’t be in a normal state. If we prepare, we can stop him with the academy’s power alone. The current power of the academy… is more than the Korean Hero Association.”

There’s me, Seong Ha-ri, and Kang Ji-young at the academy. Just these people are more than enough to overwhelm the Hero Association’s power, and the academy’s teachers are also not ordinary. The teachers are better than most A-class heroes.

What about the other S-class heroes in the Hero Association? There was only one S-class hero who was active.

Kang Ji-young was also active, but she was the head of the academy. She couldn’t fully dedicate herself to hero activities.

“……”

Kang Ji-young was lost in thought. The coffee in front of her had gone cold. I quietly waited for her conclusion.

5 minutes became 10 minutes, and 10 minutes became 50 minutes.

“I’ll listen to your plan.”

• • •

When I came out of the headmaster’s office, the sun had already set. I walked towards the dormitory, stepping on the snow that had accumulated in the meantime.

‘After acting as Jeokgwang today, who should I sleep with? Namgung Hwa-yeon? Or Choi Da-yeon? It’s too problematic to sleep with both of them at the same time….’

“Hey. Come here.”

Someone called me from behind a dark building, where the vending machine was. It was a familiar female voice, so I immediately turned my head.

There were three women. The top three delinquents of Maruhan Academy.

Go Eun-ha, with her dyed, slightly messy blonde hair.

Yoo Chae-young, with her small 150cm frame, brown bobbed hair, and blue headband.

Son Ji-yeon, with her red wavy perm hair, the tallest and bustiest of the three.

All three were adorned with accessories all over their bodies, as befitting delinquents.

I swallowed hard and pretended to be nervous.

“S-seniors….”

“Seong Yu-jin. Come here quickly. I’ll give you 5 seconds. 5. 4.”

“Y-yes, yes.”

I rushed over. It was a distance I could cover in 1 second using Acceleration and Instant, but I deliberately matched it to 5 seconds.

“You were happy not seeing us these days, huh? Huh?”

Go Eun-ha tapped my chest with her index finger as if she was throwing a finger gun.

“Oh. Jinny Jinny. Long time no see.”

Yoo Chae-young, who had already taken my left side, smiled and touched my arm.

“You seem a bit more manly since I last saw you. Hmm. Or not?”

Son Ji-yeon, who had taken my right side, touched my thigh.

I was these three’s toy.

“S-seniors. It’s not good to do this here.”

“What do you mean not good? You little bastard. I heard you’re in a relationship with Namgung Hwa-yeon? How dare you betray us? Are you crazy?”

Go Eun-ha hit my chest with a thud.

“T-that’s….”

“Don’t even think about denying it. You’re famous among the girls as the academy’s official slut.”

“N-no, I’m not.”

I protested timidly. But deep down, I was proud.

The academy’s official slut. The title was a bit impure, but I was proud.

‘It would be even better if they called me the academy’s virginity bomber.’

I had actually broken the virginity of all the virgins in the academy.

“What do you mean no? Come here, you bastard. We need to give you a proper education today.”

Go Eun-ha lowered her hand and grabbed my crotch.

“Ah! Senior! I understand! I’ll go!”

I was dragged to the women’s dance club room by the three delinquents.

I was so scared that I felt like I was getting an erection….
