Chapter 137 - Chapter 135: Episode 135
The Unicorn realized it was in deep trouble,
and tried to escape using short-range teleports like Blink and the raw speed of a four-legged beast.
However, it was no match for the elite cadets of the National Hunter Academy,
who were already intimately familiar with the creature's traits, personality, strengths, and weaknesses.
The female classmates instantly formed up,
hunting the Unicorn by reacting organically based on their respective roles.
First, about ten girls in debuffer, mage, and shaman roles—the ones capable of blocking the Unicorn's teleportation—took the lead.
They repeatedly cast a barrage of curses, debuffs, nets, and vine magic to bind the creature's feet.
At first, the Unicorn deflected the curses and hexes with its decent magic resistance,
but as the debuffs piled up, soaking into it like rain through clothes, its resistance finally gave out.
It could no longer use Blink, and its escape speed plummeted.
Next, the warriors stepped in to hinder the Unicorn as it scrambled away on all fours.
The tanking group blocked its path, projecting enough physical force to ensure it couldn't break through.
Bolstered by buffs and blessings from the healers and support casters, they herded the Unicorn into a corner, just like a mob hunt.
Finally, the damage dealers—assassins, archers, and offensive mages—unleashed a torrent of heavy damage on the cornered beast.
Naturally, they were also fully buffed and blessed by the support team.
"Nice! Bleed damage landed! You son of a bitch, you won't last long!"
"Leg shot landed perfectly! See it limping?"
"Pierced its abdomen with a high-penetration Fire Spear!
Whoa, shit, but its magic resistance is so fucking annoying...
Most monsters just explode. Even Trolls and Ogres just die.
My Fire Spear can pierce and blow up an armored vehicle, but it only punched a hole in its gut and that's it."
The average level of the cadets at the National Hunter Academy—which selects only the country's top talent—was quite high.
Eventually, the Unicorn was decapitated and killed.
The homeroom teacher, Park Hye-ji, was nowhere to be seen,
but the Unicorn had been taken down by the combined power of our class's female students—all first-years.
Of course, when thirty-five elite Academy female cadets gang up on something,
it's only natural that most monsters or villains would end up dead.
"Hmm... by the way... I heard Unicorn horns and bones are rare..."
I approached the girls, who were cheering in excitement after the hunt, and shamelessly displayed my greed,
making it clear I wanted the horn and bones.
Since I didn't have much money, I was desperate to get my hands on those expensive parts.
Of course, it was pathetic of me to be greedy for the loot when I hadn't contributed even one percent to the hunt...
But still, I wanted what I wanted.
I subtly acted like I was going to touch the girls, making it painfully obvious that I was after the Unicorn's horn and bones.
"Hmm... I heard Unicorn horns and bones are rare... Hmm... Unicorn horn and bones... If I had those, I wouldn't have any other wishes..."
"...D-Do-jin, do you want the Unicorn horn and bones?"
"...Do-jin, do you want them? We'll give them to you. Do-jin, you take it all. Hehehe."
"Umm...? No... that's... it's embarrassing to take them... I didn't do anything..."
"No. You lured the Unicorn. And you said you were threatened. You're a victim, a victim. So you can take it all."
"...R-really? Then I'll gladly take them... Thank you, girls... Hehe. Thank you..."
I feigned reluctance while accepting their offer.
I secured ownership of the Unicorn's horn and bones while acting cute for the girls.
"Ah, if Do-jin wants it, we have to give it to him. Hehe, hihi."
"That's right. It's Do-jin's. Do-jin lured it and did everything. We just hit it once."
"D-Do-jin... b-but it'll cost some money to process that... my family is a blacksmithing family... S-shall I ask the elders of my family to process it for free...?"
"...O-oh...? Can you do that? If you do that, I'd be very grateful.... Thank you......"
I smiled bashfully and took the hand of the girl who offered to process it.
"Hahaha. You don't have to be that grateful. Ehehehe. Ah, i-if you hold my hand like that, haeu♡"
"D-Do-jin! My house is a famous Enchanter family, you know? W-we'll enchant it really well at my house!"
"...Are you doing it for free?"
"O-of course! We're friends, why would I take money? Instead, if you hold my hand too...."
"Umm..., is this okay?"
"Heueu...♡ Umm...♡ I-I'll take responsibility and tell the adults to enchant it with the best materials....♡"
The girls scrambled to offer me the Unicorn's horn and bones.
Then, they huddled together, discussing how to not only process them but also enchant them.
All I did was hold their hands, offer a smile, and engage in a little skinship.
The girls promised to forge a Unicorn Sword using the best materials available.
I smiled happily at the thought that if I got an expensive Artifact sword for free,
I could sell it and make money whenever I wanted.
The distribution of the dead Unicorn's carcass was almost entirely focused on me,
while the rest—like the leather and mane—would be used as enchantment materials for the Unicorn Sword they were making for me.
Among the female classmates, there were over five girls with experience butchering monsters,
so they easily broke down the carcass, separated the bones from the meat, and set up a temporary camp nearby.
They immediately started grilling the horse meat (Unicorn).
When an unexpected barbecue party broke out,
the homeroom teacher, Park Hye-ji, appeared. Smelling the meat, she sniffed the air, scratched her stomach, and told them to hurry up and grill some for her.
She was incredibly annoying, but since she was the strongest person there, no one dared to say a word.
"Hey. Kim Do-jin. You're not doing anything right now. The girls are working hard grilling meat... If you have nothing to do, come here."
"Yes?"
"If I tell you to come, come without any complaints."
Park Hye-ji called me over.
"Try kneeling here or sitting cross-legged. Or stretch your legs out.
Ah, no. You can lie down. Lie down. That'll be a comfortable position for you, too."
I didn't know what she was planning, but I lay down on the grassy weeds.
Park Hye-ji then placed her head on my soft stomach, using it as a pillow.
"Ugh... this is nice... Sniff, the smell of meat and the erotic, baby-smelling scent of a man... perfect temperature and humidity. Warm sunlight.
The stunning green meadow scenery and clear sky, the peaceful chirping of birds... the occasional soft breeze.
Using a shota pretty boy's fluffy, soft stomach as a pillow... this is amazing... Haa... This is the life..."
Park Hye-ji acted like someone trying to take a nap in paradise while using my stomach as a pillow.
As she did, the girls in the class glared at her as if lasers were shooting out of their eyes.
Of course, Park Hye-ji wasn't the type to miss those murderous glares.
"What are you all staring at? Don't you dare look down. If you don't like it, you guys become Academy teachers."
Whether the female classmates were trembling or not,
Park Hye-ji just lay on my stomach, gazing at the clear sky and enjoying life.
By the time the horse meat was grilled, the male students had rejoined our group.
Everyone was happy that the Unicorn—which they disliked for various reasons—was dead,
and we all laughed, chatted, and shared the grilled meat.
"But, it's weird to say this while I'm already eating, but it's a nationally designated natural monument. Is it okay to grill and eat it like this?"
"The teacher said it too. If it attacks first, you can treat it like a monster and kill it.
And there's no legal issue with eating monsters as food in emergencies inside a dungeon. So it's legal, it's legal."
"It's already dead anyway, so we should put the meat to good use. The dead Unicorn would probably want us to eat it."
I thought that was absolutely not the case, given what I knew about the Unicorn's personality,
but I was grateful for the sincerity of the girls who offered me the softest, tastiest parts, so I just quietly ate the horse meat.
"Burp~ Now that lunch is over, shall we start the real practical training...."
After the barbecue lunch ended,
the homeroom teacher, Park Hye-ji, announced the start of the practical training.
I trembled with nervousness at the mention of starting the practical training in earnest,
but the girls and boys around me told me again not to worry because they would protect me.
These were the same people who had reassured me like this back on the bus.
"The practical training for today is... an individual monster hunting assignment. Everyone catch one monster each.
The time limit is until sunrise tomorrow. If you get caught helping each other, you're disqualified.
If you're disqualified, you get zero points and a ten-point penalty.
You know this counts toward your midterm exam, right?"
But as soon as Park Hye-ji said that,
the kids who had promised to protect me completely disappeared.
"Eh.... G-guys...? You said you'd protect me and help me...."
"It's an individual assignment, so it can't be helped..., Do-jin. Sorry? Hang in there. Fighting!"
"Do-jin, you'll do well on your own. Let's all work hard. Haja!"
'You bastards....'
I was left all alone.
Seeing me like that, the homeroom teacher, Park Hye-ji, smirked.
