Chapter Title: The Unicorn is Alive
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The unicorn was alive.
Sunlight danced off its flowing white mane, and its eyes gleamed with wisdom that seemed to pierce through everything. The creature's presence alone was enough to move every student in attendance.
"That's a unicorn...!"
"I've heard there are even elven knights who spend their whole lives fighting alongside unicorns they've bonded with."
"Look at that majestic unicorn...! It's so beautiful..!"
The students buzzed with admiration at the unicorn's noble form.
But unlike the naive others, I knew the unicorn's true nature—no, its demonic side all too well. My mouth was going dry from the tension.
"Alright, everyone, pay attention! This unicorn has come to the academy to see if any of our students are suitable for bonding and to show you all what a divine beast is like firsthand."
As Professor Carmen from the Department of Mythical Creatures quieted the students and introduced the unicorn, it responded in kind, slowly shaking off the priestesses' hands and stepping forward.
In truth, this was a fixed event in the novel too. Every year, the Southern Diocese sent their priests and agents to the academy to scout for promising contract partners.
'It's like a corporate info session at a university.'
"Ahh... so beautiful!"
At that moment, as if entranced by its beauty, one female student dashed forward toward the unicorn's body.
"Ah! Professor, Alma's running toward the unicorn!"
"It's fine. Just watch."
Even with this sudden action, the professor and priestesses didn't panic—they just smiled and observed.
Only most of the students tensed up. The unicorn stared down plainly at the girl approaching it.
Wooong!
"Look! The unicorn's horn is glowing!"
The unicorn emitted a pure white light from its horn toward the girl, and her pupils began to dilate.
"Y-Yes... What? It's okay to pet you?"
It must have used its mental communication ability to send telepathy to her.
The girl hesitated but slowly reached out toward its head. The unicorn obediently lowered its head, accepting her touch.
It was like a scene from a fairy tale, a princess having the beast bow to her.
Clap. Clap clap. Clap clap clap clap!!
As one student started clapping at the beautiful sight, the others joined in. Only then did the blushing girl hurriedly return to her friends.
'They're really just playing around.'
That girl stepping forward as if entranced was probably suitable for contracting with the unicorn.
Judging by the priestesses' greedy stares from behind the unicorn, she'd surely be scouted as a new Prairie Priest for the Southern Diocese after a bunch of sweet-talking in a few days.
"Me too! I want to touch it!"
Then, inspired by the sight of the girl petting the unicorn, another female student confidently charged forward toward it.
'Ah, she's screwed.'
"Huh? Big Brother?"
I hurriedly circulated my mana to gently wrap around me and Shaomei. Shaomei looked at me puzzled. Jorba? Let the jerk fend for himself.
"Wait, don't approach recklessly..."
🦄 UNICORN RAGE 🦄 [[Gaaar!!!!!!]]
As the professor tried to stop the girl, I, Shaomei, and a few other students clutched our heads and staggered—everyone except us.
The reason was obvious. The unicorn wore the angriest horse-face expression possible, its horn glowing dark red.
🦄 UNICORN TELEPATHY 🦄 [How dare a filthy non-virgin whose hymen was broken before even turning twenty touch this sovereign!!]
"Eek... Aah... S-Sorry...!!"
Sure enough, the girl who'd just rushed out wasn't a virgin in body. A definite non-virgin who'd lost it completely—the unicorn's reaction was predictable.
Facing the unicorn's pure rage through the intense mental link, the girl's legs gave out, and she awkwardly crawled backward.
"Now, now, Unicorn! She didn't know any better, so please don't get so mad!"
Professor Carmen stepped in to pet the unicorn, which snorted harshly before calming its dark red horn.
'That fucking virgin-obsessed horse bastard. It's in a bad mood again.'
This crazy horse bastard never deviated from my expectations. Its obsession with virgins, madness for them, living for them—I knew it all too damn well.
No, I was confident no one knew it better than me.
'I got fucked over hard in the 2nd regression.'
Back in my 2nd regression, I had little experience and wasn't used to academy life.
To keep up with Kaiyen, I needed power. I crammed every lesson from the professors and trained like hell, but still unused to extreme training, I couldn't catch up.
That's when that damn bastard Kaiyen recommended strengthening through a contract.
Tempted by his offer to broker it, I contracted with that crazy colt still at the academy—the 37th generation pureblood unicorn 'Unicor'.
'I didn't know back then that contracting with a crazy virgin-freak would make proper dating impossible.'
In the past, unicorns that attacked golden suns threatening virgins, pimps corrupting women, and whores devaluing women—treated as monsters—changed after the Demon King's army appeared and the era shifted.
Succubi who seduced men pretending to be virgins and degraded women's dignity, incubi luring pure virgins into non-virgin depravity... And unicorns, declaring hunts for golden suns and non-virgins, began sharing holy power with humans, rising from monsters to divine beasts.
Of course, contractors had to worship only virgins too. Even talking to a non-virgin triggered mental freakouts, so most unicorn contractors ended up with mental issues.
Dating? It screamed about deficiencies in body, heart, or qi at the slightest word even to virgins. Focus? Impossible. Later, I built mental resistance, so I could flirt a bit.
'Come to think of it, was Kaiyen blocking me from getting girls on purpose?'
I glanced at Kaiyen petting the unicorn from afar.
"A-Amazing! Even a purely chaste man can't touch a unicorn without being a contractor, but he touched it?!"
At Professor Carmen's words, the surrounding students gasped in surprise. Claire looked proud, as if she'd been praised herself.
Of course, that was canon too. Special affinity for divine beasts and spirits, right?
🦄 UNICORN TELEPATHY 🦄 [[You bastard! Even if your body is virgin, your heart and qi fail—how dare you approach!!!]]
"Big Brother, what do we do...? Young Master Jorba is grinning meaningfully at us..!"
Seeing the unicorn yell at yet another girl, Shaomei trembled and whispered to me.
'No clue.'
Even as its contractor, I couldn't control that crazy colt. Now after regressing? No way.
Should I just tell Jorba and pass it off? As I pondered, someone approached us.
"..Hi, Arthin? You here for class too???"
I turned to see Violet awkwardly waving, like it had been ages.
"Hey, Violet. You taking this class too?"
Violet usually had boring classes like History of Magic at this time, so I looked puzzled.
At my question, Violet fidgeted with her fingers, glancing at me with a hurt expression.
"..Um, yesterday's promise... you didn't forget, right? Something happened?"
Ah. Right.
"I waited quite a while, but no one came... S-So, the villain stuff you mentioned before, or something with Kaiyen??"
"Ah, about that..."
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
I couldn't say: Sorry! Forgot about you while banging Shaomei and Agnes!
"Sorry, one of the villains acted suspicious, so I had to tail him. Ended up surveilling until night suddenly."
"I knew it! Right!? I thought you guys were ditching me and got worried!"
Sorry, Violet. Really sorry..!
'Next time, I'll buy tons of delicious desserts at that great shop..!'
"Plus, I heard weird rumors you got summoned by Princess Agnes, almost misunderstood?"
Out of nowhere.
"This morning, rumors you had an improper relationship with a girl! I was shocked!"
Twitch! Twitch!
Violet's innocent voice stabbing our hearts with guilt made Shaomei and me flinch uncontrollably.
"...What's wrong with you two? Why do you keep twitching?"
"Huh? N-No, nothing! Maybe didn't sleep well, keeps making me drowsy!"
"Y-Yes! I barely ate breakfast, so my stomach's a bit upset!"
"...Really?"
Seeing our guilty reactions, Violet eyed us suspiciously.
'Something, anything to change the subject?!'
As I desperately racked my brain, a booming voice suddenly rang in my head.
🦄 UNICORN TELEPATHY 🦄 [This sovereign is moved!!] I, Shaomei, and Violet all turned around at the resonant voice echoing in our minds.
Behind Violet stood Unicor, the unicorn that had sneaked up, snorting excitedly and stamping the ground with its front hooves.
🦄 UNICORN TELEPATHY 🦄 [Behold this soul of purity itself! Body, heart, and qi perfectly maintaining virginity—I cannot stop being moved!]
"..M-Me?"
Violet pointed at herself, and the unicorn nodded vigorously, even awkwardly kneeling toward her.
🦄 UNICORN TELEPATHY 🦄 [You are the embodiment of a virgin's virtue! The incarnation of virginity! The crystallization of purity! It's been ages since Agnes the princess that I've seen such a pure woman! You may ride upon my back!]
"Me? I-I'm not sure. Uh. That's too much..."
The crazy horse's booming telepathy drew every student's gaze in the class to Violet, who flushed beet red and waved her hands in refusal.
"What are you saying, Miss Violet! For a unicorn to let a non-contractor woman ride it is the greatest honor! Now, everyone, give Miss Violet a round of celebratory applause!"
But ignoring the person involved, Professor Carmen clapped excitedly. The other students peeked at the mood before joining in.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇
"Wow! So beautiful!!"
"The academy's representative virgin is born!"
"A pure virgin acknowledged by a unicorn! Truly amazing!"
Unable to resist the atmosphere, Violet shot me a desperate plea for help.
But deeming this the perfect distraction, I looked away.
"Uuuugh, now I'll never get married...!"
🦄 UNICORN TELEPATHY 🦄 [Is that not good, virgin? Remaining noble pure white, eternally chaste, is eternal glory!] Violet, swept up in the mood, covered her face with both hands and was forcibly mounted atop the unicorn, forced into an unexpected riding humiliation play.
'Lady Godiva... what the hell battle did you fight?'
The crazy colt suddenly declared the girl a total solo who'd never even held a guy's hand, and everyone praised it as amazing. The victim was mortified to death.
'As expected, that colt is the worst bomb.'
I must never get involved this lifetime. As I thought that,
I felt its gaze fixate on me for some reason.
"...Why? Looking at me? Hey, why me?"
"I-I don't know, Big Brother!"
That crazy disaster-summoner stared intently at me.
Unpleasantly brightening its horn.
