Chapter 288 - Chapter 286: Episode 286
Ahn Seo-yeon tried to soothe her angry younger sister.
But the more she tried, the more Ahn Min-seo vented her rage at Lee Ji-eun on her sister's behalf.
It was her way of protecting and cherishing her sister, knowing how hard it was for Seo-yeon to voice her own anger.
'My kind little sister....'
Still, Ahn Seo-yeon understood Lee Ji-eun's frustration.
Whenever a colleague or cadet died during an operation or training, the resentment inevitably fell on her—simply because she was the strongest one in the room....
It was always the same old lines: "Since you're so strong, couldn't you have stopped it?" or, "You're an elite early graduate from the Holy Sword Department—what the hell were you doing?"
If the victim happened to be a family member, lover, or friend,
this kind of backlash was practically guaranteed.
They'd resent and curse anyone who seemed responsible.
Especially when there was no other target for their vengeance.
When the true culprit was dead or unknown,
people, confused and desperate for someone to blame, would turn their sights on Ahn Seo-yeon herself.
It was a very common occurrence.
'It's true, though. I have been slacking on my actual duties lately because of Do-jin....'
As the de facto head of the Holy Sword Department,
she should have been out leading her members on weekend hunts for villains or monsters—treating it like a casual hike...,
but she was holed up in the academy, just playing around and "eating" her sister and Do-jin.
The girls under her command preferred tormenting and "eating" Kim Do-jin—whom she and her sister would hand over like a treat—rather than going out to hunt monsters like they were following their boss on a weekend hike.
So, ever since Kim Do-jin enrolled, those weekend monster-hunting trips had quietly faded away.
Instead, they spent their time sexually tormenting and gang-raping Do-jin.
Since it wasn't a lie...,
Ahn Seo-yeon ended up shouldering the blame rather than refuting Lee Ji-eun's venting.
'Perhaps because I became too lazy....'

Choi Seo-ah had been depressed lately.
No, the truth was, all the female students in 1st Grade Class 13 were depressed.
Every one of them kept glancing at the empty doghouse at the back of the classroom.
They missed Kim Do-jin, half-expecting him to crawl out of it, shy and embarrassed, at any moment.
"...I haven't seen Teacher Park Hye-ji much lately...."
"Our homeroom teacher? She's probably off somewhere napping like usual.... She's been a lazy, salary-thieving bitch from the start. ...Damn it, if she'd actually taken care of Do-jin, none of this would've happened. My pussy feels empty, and I'm so fucking depressed these days. Even if I masturbate ten times a day with the Kim Do-jin Big Cock Model Dildo, it still feels empty. Something is 2%..., no, more like 200% missing."
Listening to her classmates,
Choi Seo-ah felt a strange unease.
'Teacher Park Hye-ji is definitely acting strange lately.... Something is..., different from usual....'
Then, Choi Seo-ah saw the announcement posted throughout the school by the Student Council regarding the Villain Suppression Squad.
She had only been secretly "eating" Do-jin without the others knowing,
but she had still participated in the bullying and ostracism. Her conscience pricked her, so she volunteered.
It was a form of atonement.
However, on the roster for the Villain Suppression Squad—which had received the President's approval and was operating under the official title of 'Academy Expedition Villain Eradication Team'—she saw a familiar name.
When Choi Seo-ah went to sign up,
she saw that Park Hye-ji had already registered as the advisor.
Later, in the faculty office, she overheard some teachers whispering about her.
"What's gotten into Park Hye-ji? She never volunteers for stuff like this."
"Right? She'd rather die than take on extra work."
"I've never seen her step up like this for anything."
"Hey, maybe it's because her student died?"
"Is that it? I'm seeing her in a whole new light. In a good way."
Choi Seo-ah secretly visited Park Hye-ji's hideout.
Inside, she saw Park Hye-ji packing gear,
warming up, and training with an intensity that suggested she was preparing for a real fight.
It was the first time in the year she'd known her that she'd seen this side of her.
For some reason, Choi Seo-ah felt she shouldn't disturb her,
so she quietly went to prepare for battle herself.
Though their methods and appearances differed,
everyone was preparing to let go of the person they cherished, hoping to do so without regrets.

Student Council President Jung Su-yeon was slumped over her large desk in the Student Council office, consumed by self-reproach.
'...Did I push him too hard? Did I torment him too much?'
Although Kim Do-jin was a detestable man who had deceived her,
considering his looks and his massive cock, he was a good man—the kind who even appeared in her dreams.
He was a treasure of humanity, and it would be a real problem if he died....
'I shouldn't have stopped Kim Do-jin from forming a team with other students for the final exam....'
The reason Kim Do-jin had been so thoroughly isolated when choosing a team for the final exam....
Actually, it was because Jung Su-yeon had used the Student Council's power behind the scenes to ostracize him.
Fearing that anyone close to him would help,
she had deliberately laid double and triple layers of traps to keep them away.
Ahn Min-seo had been swarmed by high-skilled classmates the moment it started, forming a team while she just went, "Uh, uh, uh...?",
and Kim Ji-na had been kept busy on purpose so she couldn't help Kim Do-jin.
As a result, the only one left for Kim Do-jin was that foul-tempered, sky-blue-haired student, Lee Ji-eun.
Of course, she hadn't expected those two to reach a compromise,
and as predicted, negotiations failed, leaving Kim Do-jin without a team.
Consequently, Kim Do-jin tried to go hunting for the final exam with the thing he was raising...,
which was nothing more than a goblin.
'I was going to show up like, Ta-da!, tease him, torment him a bit..., hunt together while "eating" him..., and stage it so we were stranded on the island for a month..., just to make him truly fall for me....'
Of course..., that female teacher, Park Hye-ji, had to butt in out of nowhere and ruin everything.
And Kim Do-jin, unexpectedly, trusted that goblin's words absolutely...,
and instead of going to the isolated island where she'd even pre-selected the location, he went into the mountain forest, acting cocky about wanting to catch a plant-type monster.
She kept subtly dissing the idea, saying plant-type monsters were too hard to catch and they should go for something else...,
but with that meddler Park Hye-ji around, it was hard to secretly conspire or interfere.
If she tried anything, she felt like Park Hye-ji would just think, "Good for me," and blab about everything she did, getting in the way.
Then, things just kept getting more twisted...,
and eventually, a monster as dangerous as the Alraune Queen appeared....
While she and Park Hye-ji were fighting the Alraune Queen, they were poisoned by her venom and were recuperating in the academy infirmary when it happened.
She felt like her insides were churning, like she was going to die.
The scheme she'd plotted had gone awry, spiraled out of control, and in the end, everything got jumbled up, and suddenly Kim Do-jin died.
No..., what had she done to make things end up like this...?
Was heaven punishing her for hiding in the shadows as a mastermind, harboring evil thoughts...?
Was this happening because she'd made it impossible for Kim Do-jin to form a team for the final exam, deliberately ostracized him, and tried to turn him into her toy?
'...If I had known, I shouldn't have pressured the girls who were throwing themselves at Kim Do-jin and just left them alone....'
If she had, Kim Do-jin could have easily finished the final exam by landing the last hit on monsters the other girls caught for him—like riding a bus.
And there wouldn't have been such a tragedy where Kim Do-jin died....
'...Haa. I can't even confide in anyone..., Teacher Park Hye-ji seems to know vaguely..., but lately, she's been radiating an aura of "don't talk to me"....'
Student Council President Jung Su-yeon decided to do what she had to do, even while blaming herself.
Things she had been putting off until now....
For example...,
strongly recommending to the President, in the name of the Student Council, that they no longer accept special admissions for the Male Service Department,
or creating a Villain Suppression Squad in the academy's name because she wanted revenge on the villains who had done that to Do-jin....
To do all this, she researched laws and school ordinances,
identified and patched the deficiencies and weak points in the system...,
and organized and standardized the resources and supplies for the suppression squad....
There was so much work.
After meeting Kim Do-jin, she'd been so distracted by him that she hadn't been doing the work of a Student Council President worthy of the title...,
but for the first time in a while, it felt like she was actually doing her job properly, catching up on everything.
Jung Su-yeon was buried in a mountain of documents, reviewing and signing them, when suddenly...,
her crotch..., her pussy felt empty.
Come to think of it, it was lunchtime already.
Before the incident,
around this time, she remembered the boy who would always come into the Student Council office, blushing as if ashamed...,
and take off his clothes to get naked, just like she ordered.
