Chapter 1425

<Episode 1425> 1425. The Academy’s Savior

“Hmph… hasn’t had sex recently, must be feeling some pent-up frustration.”

I haven’t gone to see Choi Da-yeon.

It’s because of a promise I made with Choi Jeong-hwa. Even if it doesn’t sit well with me, a promise is a promise. Lately, I’ve been deliberately keeping my distance from Choi Da-yeon. Not that I’m completely shunning her—just an ambiguous relationship.

“Can’t completely push her away. If I do, the worst-case scenario might happen.”

The worst-case scenario I’m talking about is Choi Da-yeon going to another guy. Honestly, the probability is less than 1%. With her high self-esteem, Choi Da-yeon isn’t the type to go chasing after other men, and she’s not easy to satisfy anyway. At least with me, there’s this sense of equality when facing someone like Choi Da-yeon who has such pride.

“Things are going according to plan. Though I didn’t expect her to be pleasuring herself alone in the bathhouse…”

Choi Da-yeon has masochistic tendencies. There’s a slight inclination towards deriving pleasure from shame related to exposure, but not to the extent of openly masturbating in the bathhouse.

“Probably because she wasn’t fully satisfied from our last sexual encounter, so now she’s seeking more stimulation.”

So predictable.

“Heheh… Choi Da-yeon. If you want sex, you’ll have to set aside your pride.”

Because of the promise I made with Choi Jeong-hwa, I can’t make the first move toward Choi Da-yeon. But if Choi Da-yeon reaches out to me first, things will be different. I’ll pretend to be reluctant, act as if I have no choice, and then get physical with her.

“And when Choi Jeong-hwa finds out…”

All of this is for the ultimate goal: a sister sandwich.

“Huuuuh… Haah… huuuh…”

Choi Da-yeon, sitting on the rock, tightens her legs. Three fingers are moving in and out of her soaked pussy. Her pubic hair is drenched, wriggling like seaweed.

Squish squish squish!

The sound of her fingering is loud enough to fill the entire bathhouse. Once again, I feel the urge. I want to rip off my ghost cloak and rush in to pound her dripping pussy with my dick right now.

“But I have to hold back. If I jump her here, everything I’ve done so far will be wasted. Tonight… I’ll take Choi Jeong-hwa.”

“KYAAAAAAH!”

Choi Da-yeon arches her back, lifting her pussy upward. Her finger-stuffed cunt clenches and spurts out fluids. Cum jets splash onto the tiles and the bath.

“Huuuuh… lower ranks… huuuh…”

Slowly, she pulls her fingers out of her pussy. A squelching sound accompanies the withdrawal, leaving her fingers coated with sticky liquid.

Her pink pussy continues to twitch uncontrollably, looking like a baby bird begging for more food.

As much as I’d like to give her a load of cum…

“There will be another chance next time.”

Watching Choi Da-yeon head toward the shower, I leave the bathhouse.

Life at Arashi Academy keeps me busy.

To seduce the women I’ve targeted during the exchange tournament, I have to keep moving. I meet one woman, then another, constantly hustling around.

‘


Reika Shinbo, Meiko Miyakado, Rachel Craig. These three will definitely be my waifus.

Classmate, shrine maiden, and student council president.

Each of them is one of the top 3 beauties at Arashi Academy, radiating their own unique charm. Reika Shinbo and Meiko Miyakado have been steadily deepening their relationship. They’ve got the first button properly fastened. No, they’ve chosen the right path. As long as I don’t screw up big time, their affection levels will keep rising steadily.

“The problem is that this process is taking too long. If only there was a better opportunity to accelerate things…”

In gaming terms, I needed an event involving them. And the conditions for triggering said event had already been met.

I met with Reika and Meiko on the rooftop, along with Yuki Hodo. Uncharacteristically, it was Meiko who said she had something to discuss with me.

Looking at the others present, I could roughly guess what this was about.

[Miyakado Meiko Affection: 41]


[Shinbo Reika Affection: 66]

I instinctively checked their affection levels. Satisfactory numbers. All the effort paid off. Especially Reika’s progress has been going smoother than expected. She’s already blushed a few times while staring at me.

“Mr. Seong. Though it may seem presumptuous, I have a favor to ask of you.”

Meiko, seated on a rooftop chair, spoke to me with a serious expression.

“Is this just for you?”

“Shinbo-san and Yuki have kindly agreed to help with my request. If Mr. Seong agrees as well, that would make us a team of four.”

“It sounds serious. I’ll listen carefully. Go ahead.”

Meiko pulled out a map from her bag and laid it on the table where we could all see. She pointed at a specific location on the map.

Mount Fuji.

“I’ve received reliable intel that the Black Magic Association is conducting a summoning ritual at Mount Fuji.”

“A summoning ritual?”

“A ritual to bring a spirit into this world.”

“Spirit… Ah, Tsukuyomi’s Sacred Jewel.”

“Yes. The Black Magic Association aims to summon a spirit into this world using Tsukuyomi’s Sacred Jewel and obtain its power – or more accurately, steal its power. They plan to use the spirit’s power to completely dominate Japan. And after Japan, they’ll likely move on to Korea, then China and Russia.”

While in the original story, Yuki Hodo takes the lead, content-wise it’s pretty much the same.

“Miyakado, no matter how you look at it, you want to retrieve Tsukuyomi’s Sacred Jewel, right?”

“Yes. It’s only natural as a shrine maiden of Tsukuyomi. And this isn’t just for Japan – it’s for the entire world.”

“I get your request now. You want us to go to Mount Fuji, disrupt the ritual, and recover Tsukuyomi’s Sacred Jewel. But… do you really think we can handle this? We’re talking about the Black Magic Association here.”

On our side, we’re just four first-year academy students. Each of us is skilled, sure, but… even so, the power gap is enormous. Even if we all team up, the odds aren’t good.

“The summoning ritual is already underway in three locations.”

“Three?”

“…The Black Magic Association not only obtained Tsukuyomi’s Sacred Jewel but also the jewels of Susano and Amaterasu.”

“…What…”

I was genuinely shocked.

This was information not even in the original story. In the original, only Tsukuyomi’s jewel was mentioned. I didn’t even know the jewels of Susano and Amaterasu existed.

“The fact that they’re conducting three summoning rituals simultaneously means their forces are divided. We should be able to handle at least one location ourselves.”

“…Do we really need to stop all three?”

“Of course. After this, I plan to approach the Dean with a proposal for a special operation to disrupt the rituals. The Dean might be willing to help given the gravity of the situation…”


“You seem to be the one who understands the gravity of the situation best.”

“There’s also the Japanese Hero Association, you know.”

“We’ve detected a connection between them and the Magicians’ Guild. The Japanese Hero Association can’t be trusted.”

I pretended to ponder.

In truth, this strategy wouldn’t work without Tenrai Nagisa, the dean of Arashi Academy.

“The variables are Susano’o and Amaterasu’s jewels… but I don’t understand why these variables have appeared. I don’t think I interfered much with Japan’s side.”

Though I’m curious about the cause, I don’t dwell on it too deeply. It’s impossible for me to know everything about this world. Prioritizing response over analysis is key.

“Currently, two out of the three executives of the Magicians’ Guild—Hattori and Yayo—are dead, so that leaves three in total. With one at each ritual site, it’s perfect. This might even go smoother than the original story?”

The Magicians’ Guild’s executives are underlings. If they’re my opponents, I have an advantageous matchup due to my “Demon Hunter” trait. I already proved my strength against Yayo, one of their executives.

“I don’t think I’d lose in a one-on-one fight against a Magicians’ Guild executive.”

That’s only in a one-on-one scenario. Even I wouldn’t feel confident in a one-against-two situation—they didn’t earn their reputation as rulers of Japan’s shadows for nothing.

“Alright. If there’s anything I can do, I’ll help—but only if Dean Tenrai Nagisa approves.”

“Hmph. Thank you. Given your demonstrated skills… you’ll be a great help.”

“But do you really think Dean Tenrai Nagisa will approve?”

“She will. With the Hero Association being untrustworthy now, there’s nowhere else she can turn for help. And we’re not weak either.”

Everyone here—Hyodo Yuuki, Reika, and Mei Ko—is among the top-tier students of the academy. They’re skilled enough to quit school right now and become full-fledged heroes without any issues.

“By the way, when the Magicians’ Guild completes their summoning ritual, will a true Spirit actually appear?”

“No. That’s not possible. No matter what kind of ritual is performed, a Spirit cannot fully manifest in this world because Spirits no longer exist here. The Magicians’ Guild uses spirit-infused jewels to summon fragments of a Spirit. Strictly speaking, these beings aren’t genuine Spirits, but their power certainly is.”

I coveted that divine power.

If I didn’t just disrupt the summoning ritual but outright stole it for myself, how beneficial would that be? But pulling that off alone would be impossible.

After discussing more about the Magicians’ Guild, we all headed to the dean’s office together.

Tenrai Nagisa received Mieko’s proposal. She carefully considered her words after listening, scrutinizing us closely.

“Mieko, is it true that the Magicians’ Guild is conducting simultaneous summoning rituals for Susano’o and Amaterasu? Is this informant you mentioned truly reliable?”

“Hiragi Jiro. He’s competent and trustworthy. He lost his wife and children to the Magicians’ Guild and seeks revenge against them.”

“…You all understand, I cannot give an immediate answer. I’ll investigate separately.”

“Dean, the summoning rituals are already underway. Swift decision-making is necessary.”

“Mieko, do I look like someone who doesn’t know how summoning rituals work?”

Tenrai Nagisa frowned. Her childlike appearance made her seem completely non-threatening.

“…I apologize, Dean. I overstepped.”

“…I’m sorry too. There was no need for me to get annoyed over such a trivial matter… Lately, I’ve been on edge. Just remember, completing the preparations for a Spirit-summoning ritual doesn’t mean it’s instantly finished. Even with perfect preparation, it takes at least two weeks for the ritual to complete. We still have plenty of time, so don’t worry. For now, you may step back and wait.”

“Yes, Dean.”
