Chapter 76 - Chapter 74: Episode 74
Earlier, some of the male students were chatting near me, and they said something like this.
"...Sniff, sniff. Do you smell something weird?"
"Huh? Sniff, sniff.... Hmm, you're right. There's a bit of a musty smell...."
"Ji-hoon, did you come here without washing?"
"It's not me, okay? I even showered during lunch break...?!"
"Eeeh~ You said just the other day that you only wash your hair every three days~"
"Hey...! That was during vacation...! Ah, don't say stuff like that in front of the Class President~!"
"Hehe, Ji-hoon is acting shy in front of the Class President. Look at him playing coy."
"...Ah, it's just because we aren't close yet. The rapport isn't quite there...."
Ah, fuck. Thinking about it makes me feel like shit again.
Shit. It's fucking annoying how these guys act like women.
Anyway, honestly, it was probably my smell.
That musty smell coming from somewhere...,
it was obviously just me, reeking of cum after being fucked like a dog by those pussies...
I roughly stripped off my clothes and took a warm shower.
Afterward, I pulled on fresh underwear and collapsed onto the bed.
It felt like the first real rest I'd had in ages.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep immediately.
###
I slept like the dead and woke up at 10 PM.
It was too late for dinner and an awkward time to do anything.
But if I tried to go back to sleep, I wouldn't be able to since I'd just woken up.
I suddenly thought of the Revolution Circle leader, Kim Ji-na, and went to find her dormitory.
-Knock, knock-
"Are you sleeping...?"
I knocked on the door, but there was no response.
I thought about just going back to my room, but
my intuition told me she might be in the secret underground space, so I headed down.
I found the secret underground entrance I had used before and went in.
Mana Luminescent Stones were embedded in the passage at regular intervals, casting enough light to brighten the dark space.
After wandering through the vast underground area for a while,
I finally arrived at a space I had visited once before.
It was the secret passage I remembered.
-Swish! Thwack!-
Suddenly, a dagger whistled through the air and embedded itself in the ground right at my feet.
I was just walking through the underground, relying on my hazy memory...!
My heart leaped into my throat, and I almost pissed myself.
"Who's there? At this hour."
A figure shrouded in darkness demanded my identity in a sharp voice.
But for some reason, the voice sounded familiar.
"...Lee Ji-eun?"
"...Huh? Kim Do-jin? What are you doing here..., no, wait, you slutty bastard. Where the hell have you been wandering off to? Do you know how much I've been......."
"Huh? How much? What?"
"....... I don't know, fuck you, you slutty bastard. Eonni told you to come right away, so why didn't you come straight here! You really need a proper punishment to knock some sense into you, don't you?"
"Ah, damn it. I'm the one who's wronged here. ...And are you going to keep calling me a slutty bastard?
I have a lot to say, too. I was stuck with the Holy Sword Department until just now, and I barely made it here.
I was already feeling so depressed and gloomy that I even had dark thoughts. Instead of comforting me...."
"...Dark thoughts?"
"...There are things like that. You don't need to know."
"You didn't think about doing something extreme, did you? ...Never think about things like that...!
...I, I'm here, you know. If you're having such a hard time...,
if you're really suffering, just say you want to go to my villa's basement.
I'll always have a spot waiting for you."
"..., ...That's just so touching. If I get locked up there, are you going to do drug conditioning on me again? Treat me like a master while giving me belly punches?"
"Oh, really. That drug is gone now.... And fuck, Eonni isn't even here right now, yet you're being quite cheeky with me...?"
"..., Th, ...ugh, don't clench your fist while talking.... Ugh..., d, don't come closer.... ...Ugh!"
As Lee Ji-eun came closer, clenching her fist and rotating her arm, my instinctual fear flared up, and I recoiled without realizing it.
She came right up to me and raised her arm,
and I curled in on myself, my PTSD flaring up like a child raised on beatings.
"For someone who's such a coward..., you sure are cheeky....
Is your brain broken...? Ah, sorry. I guess that's the drugs I used talking...."
Lee Ji-eun chuckled, lowered her hand, and unclenched her fist.
She hadn't intended to hit me in the first place; she just wanted to scare me.
"...Ugh, ...you try living after constantly getting belly punched. See if you aren't scared....
Da, damn it. My body has an abnormal reaction even if a woman just clenches her fist or raises her hand now...."
"...Really? ...Then why is your dick getting hard?"
I looked at my dick.
It was magnificently erect, clearly visible even through my clothes.
A woman just tried to hit me, and I got hard and started leaking precum.... Damn it all....
"...It's because of you and the Holy Sword Department. This is all because you did that weird drug conditioning on me...."
"Don't blame others, you were probably just born lewd.
But I heard a Yin Mark was carved on your lower abdomen? Is that true?"
"...H, how did you know?"
"I have my ways. The Holy Sword Department is a high-priority intelligence target, so of course I know.
Because of that, our main Revolution Circle members have all gathered for a meeting for the first time in a while."
"...A meeting? Ah, so that's why Gina-nuna wasn't in her room.... It's a good thing I came here. My gut told me she'd be here for some reason...."
I naturally tried to enter the Revolution Circle's base,
but Lee Ji-eun blocked me, her hand wreathed in sky-blue Hand Qi, aimed straight at my throat.
"Do-jin-ah, I'm sorry, but..., you can't go in there anymore...."
Lee Ji-eun said in a voice that sounded heavy and apologetic.
Her expression, deliberately stern, gave off the feeling that she wasn't treating me personally, but officially.
As the Hand Qi, which was like Sword Energy that could easily slice through steel, was aimed at my throat,
I felt goosebumps all over my body and my face went pale.
If others had seen my face right now, they would have seen me looking deathly pale.
It makes sense, because if that sky-blue Hand Qi even slightly brushed against my body, I would just be sliced like tofu and die.
If Lee Ji-eun just flicked her wrist slightly, I would die.
"...Wh, what are you doing? Da, dangerously.... And you say I can't go in...? I'm a member of the Revolution Circle?"
"That's what we're having a meeting about right now. ...About your... forced expulsion...."
"...Wh, what?"
Lee Ji-eun erased the Hand Qi from her hand as if she had nothing to say and turned her head to the side.
She had an expression that was quite sorry and speechless, which was unlike Lee Ji-eun.
"...Why, why?"
"Because of the Yin Mark that was carved, opinions came out that we can no longer accept you into the Revolution Circle.
Gina-eonni and I tried to smooth it over, but since the majority of the Circle members agreed...,
Eonni is trying to persuade them, but it will be difficult. I got pissed off in the middle, so I went out for a walk to get some air...,
I volunteered to stand guard at the base, and while I was on sentry duty, I met you here."
"...Uh, uh..., why, why...? Why because a Yin Mark was carved...?"
"You don't know the effects of the Yin Mark well.... Various apps can be installed on the Yin Mark.
For example, location tracking or hypnosis..., or even video recording magic can be installed.
The Circle members judged that your very existence is dangerous to the Circle.
Rationally, I agree with them.
If it weren't for the debt and feelings I have for you, I would have been the one leading the charge to kick you out...."
"...Th, that's..., ...it's not like I wanted it to be carved...."
"Whether you wanted it or didn't want it..., you know well that it doesn't matter.
...I'm sorry. Eonni will probably have a hard time persuading the Revolution Circle members this time, too."
"...Bu, but, I don't have things like location tracking installed. I lack magic power..., so they said they couldn't install things like that."
"It's a danger that can be installed at any time. That's not a persuasive argument at all.
...I'm sorry, but the entire Revolution Circle cannot be put in danger because of you alone.
If the Revolution Circle becomes endangered, Eonni will be in danger too....
You've grown in my heart before I knew it..., hmm...,
forget what you just heard. Anyway, it was hard for me to choose between Eonni and you...."
Lee Ji-eun gave a bitter smile.
She looked at me with pity—so unlike the usual Lee Ji-eun.
So Lee Ji-eun could show me an expression like that too....
She's such a huge bitch who loves bullying me that I never thought I'd see an expression like that on her face.
"If it were in the past, I would have chosen Eonni without a second thought...,
but I've thought about it deeply now..., and in the end, Eonni won slightly....
So the Revolution Circle comes before you.
Sorry.... Eonni also seems to be trying to persuade them because of her personal feelings for you...,
but in the end, she will choose to abandon you. I'm sorry.... Do-jin-ah...."
I, I'm getting kicked out of the Revolution Circle?
Uh, uh? If this happens, I won't have anywhere to run to in a moment of crisis....
I was planning to pit the Student Council and the Holy Sword Department against each other, and if things didn't go according to plan, I was going to run to the Revolution Circle.
But if I get kicked out of here, my life is truly in danger....
In the worst-case scenario, when my plan is discovered and the Student Council and the Holy Sword Department team up to crush me,
I need at least a minimum safety device....
"...No, no. I really don't have any more magic power now, so according to the Holy Sword Department, my magic capacity? They said that's the limit, so it's impossible.
You, you look too.... I can't install any more apps on my Yin Mark. You check it. It's true...."
"...."
I lifted my shirt to show her my lower abdomen, revealing the Seminal Vesicle Tattoo, which looked like a lewd uterine mark.
Lee Ji-eun saw the Yin Mark on my lower abdomen, and as if her sexual desire flared up,
she gulped, took a deep breath for a moment, and placed her hand on my lower abdomen.
And she kept muttering something to herself.
The discrepancy between her appearance and her saying she was sorry while being serious just a moment ago was too great.
"...Fuck, you slutty bastard...♡ You look so fucking hot.... Even without this, you're so hot, but you even have such a lewd tattoo like this...♡
Fuck♡ My pussy is already soaking wet♡ You slutty bastard, really...♡ The Seminal Vesicle Tattoo on your lower abdomen, really...♡
I want to jump on you right now and rape you...♡ Really...♡ Isn't it innocent even if I rape you at this point?
A Seminal Vesicle Tattoo on your lower abdomen, SEX SLAVE, Sex Slave in Hanja (性奴隸), and you even have your name tattooed...♡
Fuck..., it's a good thing I have strong patience...."
Lee Ji-eun muttered as if she were talking to herself.
It sounded like she was muttering that I was so hot that she wanted to jump on me and rape me right now, but was barely holding back.
