Chapter 1142

〈 Chapter 1142 〉 1142. The Academy’s Savior

I crossed my arms and glanced down at the ground.

Down there, Shin Narie was attacking Kim Jeo. There was no way for me to intervene.

It’s a matter of elemental advantage… no, extreme elemental advantage.

Kim Jeo can’t even mount a proper counterattack against Shin Narie. Even when he tries, it’s useless—his curses are being absorbed by Shin Narie.

“Shin Narie has grown stronger since last time… Did she master the trick of absorbing curses using the cursed divine wood charm I gave her?”

I narrowed my eyes and observed Shin Narie closely. A malevolent spirit possessing her became visible—it was growing stronger as it absorbed Kim Jeo’s curses.

“This is Shin Narie’s growth event.”

From Shin Narie’s perspective, this is an incredible stroke of luck.

I stood with my arms crossed, watching the situation unfold. There was no reason for me to interfere with Shin Narie’s growth.

“GGGGRAAAAAHHHHH!”

Kim Jeo screamed in agony and hurled a curse at me. I casually leaped into the air to dodge it.

The one tearing into his flesh is Shin Narie, yet his curses are relentlessly aimed at me from start to finish.

A blind hatred that borders on foolishness.

“Well, that’s probably why his curses are so powerful.”

After about three minutes, Shin Narie’s movements noticeably slowed down. Kim Jeo had lost more than seventy percent of his strength.

“Shin Narie and the malevolent spirit must be nearing their limits.”

I prepared for an attack.

I focused my energy toward the heavens. With a crackling sound, lightning began to gather in the sky. Bright bolts of sapphire electricity coalesced and shone brilliantly. I could feel my mana rapidly depleting as I waited for the right moment.

Having gleefully absorbed and utilized Kim Jeo’s curses to grow stronger, Shin Narie finally reached her limit and retreated. Once freed from the nuisance, Kim Jeo immediately concentrated his curses into his wings and took flight, intent on killing me.

“Now… or maybe just a little longer.”

KUROOOOONG!

The lightning gathered in the heavens roared furiously, struggling to be unleashed. I tightly gripped its reins like those of a wild beast, calming it slightly.

As Kim Jeo flew toward me, extending his hand,

Now.

“Thunder Bolt.”

A massive bolt of lightning struck. Like a colossal hammer smashing down, it sent the ascending Kim Jeo crashing back to the ground. His immense curses were instantly extinguished by the intense thunderbolt. Nevertheless, despite his tattered body, Kim Jeo attempted to unleash another curse.

He wobbled to his feet.

I clicked my tongue.

“Just barely maintaining a spirit summoning state… Should I use full restoration?”

That’s when it happened.

PUUUUK.

A chilling sound pierced through the air.

“Is… this far enough?”

It was Kalles. Her dagger, appearing behind Kim Jeo, sliced through his heart. A large black heart fell limply to the ground. Kalles’ dagger didn’t stop there; it carved through chunks of flesh.

The artifacts embedded within Kim Jeo’s body fell one by one to the ground. Deprived of power, they crumbled into dust and disappeared.

With all the artifacts gone, Kim Jeo’s body returned to its original size. Though he should die any moment, a faint curse kept him barely alive.

I quickly descended to the ground.

“Guhhh… Sung Yoojin…”

Kim Jeo called out to me. It was different from before.


There was no malice in me as I asked Kyung Je-oh, who was on the brink of death:

“Who helped you?”

The curse had spread throughout the entire Academy – a curse so powerful it warped even the protective barriers shielding the Academy. It didn’t seem logically possible that Kyung Je-oh could’ve done this alone.

“I… don’t know…”

“Kyung Je-oh. Were you really this much of a loyal guy?”

“…I don’t know. I can’t remember who the guy was.”

“You’re joking, right? Even if you can’t recall everything, at least try to remember the voice!”

“The voice, gender, and physique… I have no idea about any of them.”

*Cough*

Kyung Je-oh coughed, black blood trickling out. Necrosis began from his fingertips and toes, spreading through his body.

His face, sensing death’s approach, twisted with fear.

“That guy… That guy is inside the Academy…”

Right after, Kyung Je-oh’s face started necrotizing too. His lifeless body began twitching, as if something inside him was trying to burst out.

“Nope,” Shin Narri said firmly. Whatever was inside Kyung Je-oh quickly quieted down, losing its presence. A pale wisp emerged from Kyung Je-oh’s mouth. Instinctively, I activated my Spirit Eye.

“It’s a low-level ghost.”

Shin Narri’s malevolent spirit followed it and tore the ghost apart.

As I looked at Kyung Je-oh’s corpse again, I recalled his words. While others might dismiss them as nonsense, I couldn’t do that.

‘Because I have the knowledge of the original story of [The Savior of the Academy].’

The suspect immediately came to mind.

‘No way they’d already be moving so early into the first semester.’

Even if I knew the culprit, there was nothing I could do without evidence proving their guilt.

“This way!!”

“Teacher Kales!! Did you find Kyung Je-oh?!”

“What happened?!”

Teachers rushed over in a panic. I sighed in irritation. I’d probably spend the whole night explaining everything to them.

•••

The next day.

I visited the Magic Department.

“What brings you here?”

A beautiful blonde woman in her mid-twenties greeted me. Her lush blonde hair was tied up, and she wore round glasses over piercing blue eyes like the ocean.

She was dressed in a black suit skirt and jacket. She had an hourglass figure with a G-cup bust that dominated the room.

Preltia.

A teacher of the Magic Department and a professional alchemist specializing in potions.

Her nickname was the Witch of Norway due to her magical abilities.

Incidentally, she was the most beloved female teacher among the academy’s male students. Her face rivaled Hollywood actresses in beauty, and her figure was incredible. Plus, she had a good personality.

“Teacher, could you take a look at this?”

“Hmm? What is it?”

What I handed her was Kim Je-oh’s necrotic right arm, which I’d secretly taken.

“It’s Kim Je-oh’s arm.”

“But I heard the academy staff collected his body…”

“I just happened to find it. I was planning to give it to the staff later.”

“I’ll deliver it for you.”

She took out a cloth and carefully wrapped Kim Je-oh’s arm.

“Teacher, isn’t this unusual?”

“Well, bodies decaying due to curses are rare, but not that strange, right?”

“I dealt with Kim Je-oh directly.”

“I heard that. Impressive for a first-year.”

“Kim Je-oh’s power was beyond comprehension. His actions affected the entire Academy.”

“It wasn’t Kim Je-oh’s power, but the artifact’s, right?”

“Even with an artifact, the medium is still Kim Je-oh. Given his capabilities, it would’ve been more natural for him to be overwhelmed by it and do nothing.”

“…I understand your doubts now. And why you came to me. You’re suggesting Kim Je-oh was enhanced by a potion, aren’t you?”

“Yes. Please tell me what kind of potion Kim Je-oh used.”

“Your reasoning makes sense, but… I have no reason to help you with that.”

“Is it troublesome?”

“Not exactly, but Kim Je-oh’s body is scheduled for autopsy by the Hero Association…”


Yo, Jeong. There are experts way better than me who’ll be conducting the autopsy, so all we can do is wait for the results. Though, I’m not sure if you’ll even get to see them.”

“Ahhh, I see. My bad.”

“Nah, it’s fine. That could happen. Hey, now that you’re done with your business, could you leave already? I’ve got the next class to prep for, so I’m kinda busy.”

“Can I help you?”

“You know much about potions?”

“Ugh… I’d like to help but I don’t have the skills.”

“Don’t worry about it. I’m not so useless that I need a student’s help.”

“Teacher, one last thing.”

“Yeah? What else do you wanna ask?”

“Were you close with Kim Jeo?”

Prelltia shook her head without hesitation.

“We crossed paths a few times at the academy, but we never really talked. Why do you ask?”

“Oh, well, there’s CCTV footage of you and Teacher Prelltia talking.”

“…What?”

The beautiful smile on Prelltia’s face instantly froze. But within a second, she was smiling beautifully again.

“Which CCTV?”

“It was a lie. No matter how many times I reviewed the CCTV, there was no sign of you and Kim Jeo. It’s as if someone tampered with the CCTV.”

“Probably just a coincidence. Someone with Kim Jeo’s skill level could easily avoid CCTV.”

“Yeah, probably.”

I moved towards the door. Prelltia kept her eyes on me until the end.

“Teacher Prelltia, can I come again?”

“Of course. Next time, I’ll treat you to some magical tea.”

“I look forward to it.”

There was only one reason I came to visit Prelltia. A warning.

She’s one of the women I plan to take down. If she makes a rash move and gets caught, my chances to take her down will decrease.

‘Whether she manipulated part of Kim Jeo’s spirit or handed him something, it’s none of my business.’

To me, Prelltia is far more important than Kim Jeo—several times over.

…

Shin Naru was lying on my bed. With Sensory Enhancement activated, I began touching every inch of her body.

At first, Shin Naru didn’t seem to mind, but as time passed, she became increasingly sensitive.

“Haa… Haa….”

With half-open eyes, Shin Naru gazed into empty space, breathing heavily. As I stared at her small lips, my gaze drifted downward toward her chest. It was flat; there wasn’t an ounce of fat.

“Senior, I noticed you were wearing a bra earlier. Why wear one when you don’t have breasts?”

“The principal said it’s necessary, even without breasts.”

“So the principal didn’t have any either, huh? Was it a man?”

“She was a woman. She didn’t have any either.”

Even without mammary tissue, she still had nipples and areolas. I flicked her erect nipple with my finger before shifting my attention to her lower body. Her smooth vulva came into view.

All this daily work on enhancing her sensitivity has paid off. I haven’t even touched her yet, and she’s already dripping. Grabbing her legs, I spread them apart and positioned myself between them. Placing the glans against her vulva, I noticed that due to its small size, the glans alone nearly covered her entire area.

“Are we doing it?”

“Do you not want to?”

Glancing to the right, I saw the demon trapped by Mocha struggling fiercely, cursing me.

“I wanna try. Doing it with you must feel amazing, right?”

“That’s correct. I’ll teach you just how amazing sex feels.”

Using my fingers, I spread her vulva. Beneath the clean pink flesh lay a tiny hole barely big enough for a finger. Positioning the glans there, I pushed gently. The hole stretched as my penis entered. Shin Naru’s arms and legs trembled violently.

The hymen tore.

The penis didn’t stop. Pushing through her vaginal walls, it reached the end.

I felt a pang of regret. Her tight grip was excellent, but the shallow depth meant only half of my penis could enter.

“Senior, how does it feel?”

Squinting her eyes, she replied,

“Ah, aaaah…? I, I don’t know…”
