Chapter 4: I Awakened and Heard My Senior's Inner Voice (1)
I slowly stretched my arms and legs in bed and got up.
Checking the time, it was 8 AM.
8 AM?
"!?"
As soon as I checked the time, my mind snapped awake.
"Late..."
I was an hour late.
The one who never arrives late at the Magic Tower.
Of course, being late is a problem, but I also forgot to take the doll out at 2 AM.
I quickly left the bedroom and headed to the closet where the doll was.
I opened the closet, and there was the doll still in yoga nidrasana pose, buried under my clothes.
"......"
It was a bit messy somehow.
Whoosh!
The clothes hanging on the hanger fell and covered the doll's entire body, and the vibrating dildo was still plugged into the doll's pussy and moving.
But I didn't have time to care about the messy closet.
Since I was an hour late, I had to prepare quickly and go to work.
I took out only the lab coat from the scattered clothes and put it on, then headed to the bathroom.
After a quick wash and brushing teeth, I went back to the closet and took out the doll.
'But how am I supposed to do this?'
It was too late to hand it over to the owner of this real doll, and I didn't have time to untie the doll taped up.
I had no choice but to put the tied-up doll into a cardboard box, cover it with the lid, and roughly seal it with tape, then drag the box on the floor to the front door.
At that moment, a vibrating sound came from inside the box.
Whoosh!
'Shit! Right.'
I put the vibrating dildo in the box without turning it off, forgetting to do so.
But since I had already sealed it, I didn't have time to open it again.
I had no choice but to open the front door with it in this state, place the box in front of the door, and quickly leave for work.
'Well, since I left it outside, I'll pick it up later.'
It was a necessary choice since I was an hour late.
......
......
......
......
......
So, in front of Jihun's house.
Whoosh!
Shaking!
Shaking! Shaking!
"Hueup! Ueb! Uuueb!"
The sound of the vibrating dildo turning, the box shaking, and a woman's moan echoed quietly.
***
I arrived at the research lab of the Jigong School and stood in front of the door with a puzzled expression.
'Hasn't she come yet?'
The research lab door was strangely locked.
Normally, Seolhwa-senior, who is famous for not being late like me, would have arrived earlier and opened the door.
'What's going on?'
Seolhwa-senior is usually late.
Is something wrong?
I scratched my head with a puzzled look and took out the spare key to open the research lab door and entered.
I sat at my desk and decided to prepare for research before Seolhwa-senior arrived.
'Today, I was supposed to combine Betek's horn powder and mint leaves?'
I had heard that they were researching the combination of Betek's horn powder, good for bruise treatment, and mint leaves, commonly used as a digestive aid.
I prepared about 20 flasks, putting in Betek's horn powder and mint leaves for today's research.
After about an hour.
Bam!
The research lab door opened, and Seolhwa-senior entered.
I immediately stood up and greeted Seolhwa-senior with a bow.
"Good morning, senior."
"Yes. I was a bit late because I had something to do."
A calm expression that contrasts with her beautiful appearance.
Seolhwa-senior answered without looking at me and headed to her seat with a dignified stride.
'......Huh?'
At that moment, I noticed something and looked at Seolhwa-senior with a puzzled expression.
Seolhwa-senior's face looked much more tired today.
Unlike usual, she seemed to have no energy.
Moreover, every time she walked, she slightly staggered.
'Did she hurt her leg?'
It was a very uncharacteristic appearance for Seolhwa-senior.
"Why is that?"
Seolhwa-senior noticed my gaze and turned to me and spoke.
I answered with a polite voice, hiding my inner doubts.
"The preparation for combining Betek's horn powder and mint leaves for today's research is complete."
"Is that so? Then please combine them in a sequential 9:1 ratio, 8:2 ratio and check the progress."
"Yes, understood."
I answered in a businesslike tone and continued research while focusing on the flasks.
However, even though I tried to concentrate, my eyes kept glancing at Seolhwa-senior.
Her current appearance was quite unfamiliar.
***
When research at Jigong School begins, no words are exchanged except for work-related ones.
In other words, if there's nothing to say about the work, it's quiet.
And the current situation was like that.
Normally, to start a conversation between me and Seolhwa-senior, there was one prerequisite.
For Seolhwa-senior, when delivering today's work to me.
And for me, when reporting the completion of the work.
Because of that, the morning was very quiet today.
"......"
"......"
Seolhwa-senior and I didn't exchange any conversation, just focused on our research.
Seolhwa-senior had no particular task for me, so she didn't speak to me, and I had no reason to speak because my assigned work wasn't finished.
And I found this situation quite pleasant.
Since Seolhwa-senior wasn't speaking to me, it meant the work for today was over.
'Can I go home early today?'
Thinking that, I casually glanced at Seolhwa-senior.
Honestly, even with my eyes, she was beautiful.
Her tired face combined with her beautiful appearance gave a decadent atmosphere, and despite her small 150cm height, she had a model-like figure.
I was the only assistant in the school created by that senior.
However, I hadn't thought that special.
Before hearing my colleague Kim Jangcheol's story.
- Why did everyone quit except you? It's the same with Seolhwa Magic Master's workload, and it's because the tasks are hard.
- You need to be more aware. Do you know that other school principals are eyeing you?
- You haven't awakened yet, but your knowledge is almost equal to that of a magician. You do the assigned work without mistakes, and above all, who wouldn't target a talent who has survived the Jigong School for a year?
I had often heard that I lack awareness and don't pay attention to my surroundings since childhood, but no matter how unaware I was, I couldn't help but feel something was off when I heard my colleague's words.
I looked at Seolhwa-senior and thought.
'Hmm......, no way.'
I hadn't thought I was special.
Probably just an ordinary person.
I wasn't thinking that I was a genius and could easily handle the work Seolhwa-senior gave me.
That's why I thought.
Seolhwa-senior wasn't giving me work suited to my level.
"......"
Suddenly, I thought, is this okay as is?
If it was my usual self, I would have thought it was fine.
Because it would be easy for me to work.
But that would mean, conversely, that Seolhwa-senior doesn't see me as her disciple.
Honestly, thinking about how Seolhwa-senior has treated me so far, it was almost certain.
Seolhwa-senior hadn't shown me any interest.
Her interest was only research, and when she talked to me, she often proceeded with research without making eye contact.
'......'
Anyone could understand the reason.
Because I was just a normal person.
A normal person who had some common sense about magic but wasn't a magician.
That's why the thought came to me.
'If I awaken......'
If I awakened, would Seolhwa-senior really start seeing me as her disciple?
It was just a casual thought.
Then.
Saaaa~
"!?"
My chest felt hot.
It was a feeling of mana gathering inside my chest from the air.
A phenomenon I had only heard about in words and papers.
I knew this phenomenon very well.
The phenomenon where a normal person absorbs mana.
The awakening phenomenon.
'No way!?'
I opened my eyes wide and slowly stood up, looking around my entire body.
The unfamiliar mana, the intangible mana, swirling around my whole body.
I could be sure.
I had awakened at this moment.
"What's the matter?"
When I suddenly stood up from my seat, Seolhwa-senior asked without looking at me.
I answered with a stunned expression as if surprised.
"Senior. I think I awakened-"
However, my words didn't continue to the end.
'Ah, Jihun is cool. Jihun is cool. Jihun is cool. Jihun is cool. Jihun is cool.'
"......Huh?"
The suddenly heard voice.
My gaze turned to Seolhwa-senior.
"Awakening? You mean you awakened?"
With that, Seolhwa-senior walked towards me with a click-clack of shoe sounds.
And the voice grew louder.
'Awakening? No way, it's Jihun? Awakening? No way, it's Jihun? Awakening? No way, it's Jihun?'
'Huh?'
I looked at Seolhwa-senior with a dumbfounded expression.
This voice was definitely Seolhwa-senior's voice.
But how......
'How! It seems you really awakened! How! It seems you really awakened! How! It seems you really awakened!'
It was a lively voice that didn't match the cold, expressionless face of Seolhwa-senior at all.
I could only stare at Seolhwa-senior who had come right in front of me with a dumbfounded face.
Seolhwa-senior standing in front of me slowly looked up at me due to the height difference, then slowly reached out her hand towards me.
Seolhwa-senior closed her eyes and began to feel something.
And as soon as Seolhwa-senior's hand touched my body, the repeated voice became clearer and turned into sentences.
'Ah......, Jihun's chest is firm. If I get raped by a body like this, it would feel good?'
What the hell is this?
I looked at Seolhwa-senior with a dumbfounded expression.
Seolhwa-senior just opened her mouth casually with her usual calm expression.
"......It seems you have indeed awakened."
"......"
"Congratulations, assistant Lee Jihun."
Seolhwa-senior just left that word and returned to her seat.
And her other voice still only heard in my ears.
'Ah~ I want to be raped by Jihun. Should I ask for a favor today?'
My head was in a mess at that moment.
