Chapter Title: 11. Lily Girl?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Choi Si-woo is a total asshole.
He doesn't manage the heroines, doesn't manage the villains.
Why do I have to keep holding down his position? When the hell is this dream going to end?
Kim Seung-jun was glaring at me sharply in particular.
He was grilling me on why I changed the golem creation, but shouldn't he be asking Rebecca about that first?
Hell, I don't even know why I made a dragon myself.
It felt like shaping a sphere, but my instincts pulled out a dragon.
Heh heh. The Black Flame Dragon of my right hand. Oh, it's a white dragon, huh.
"Next up is the duel between Reina of Spirit Arrows and Yoo Eun-ha of Acceleration. Come forward, you two!"
I was grumbling to myself when Blazing Bat called me out again during sparring time.
"Life really is..."
"Yoo Eun-ha. Get out here right now."
If I don't, that fire stick will humiliate me again. So I quietly dragged my butt out there.
"Yeah. I'm here."
"Hmph. Today is the day I finally beat you! My Spirit Arrows today have the destructive power of a Hyunmoo missile that Korea's so proud of!"
Is that something you shoot at a delicate girl like me?
"Can I surrender?"
"No. You have to withstand that much to call yourself Yoo Jin-seok's little sister."
If surviving a Hyunmoo missile or dodging it is the qualification to be the Divine Sword's little sister, I'll step down from that spot.
What the hell did I even do to Reina to begin with? This is so unfair.
No, what's with that pervert Choi Si-woo grinning like an idiot? That's your job, you know.
"Then, begin."
Last time I didn't have a chance to say it, but this sparring arena has a barrier up.
It's to keep damage from ability use from leaking outside.
In other words, even if I dodge Reina's missile disguised as a spirit arrow, there's no risk to the spectators.
But suddenly, something fun occurred to me.
In the end, that pointy-eared descendant can't use anything but bows. Get in close and smack her around, and it's over.
Yeah. A day like this had to come sometime.
I reached into my pocket for my knife.
Damn, it's gone. Oh right, it broke.
"Ah, I forgot my weapon."
"Are you kidding me right now?"
"No, more importantly, why are you so pissed?"
"Professor Rebecca's autograph!"
Oh yeah. This girl is a die-hard Rebecca fan.
The reason she's a fan is simple. Rebecca's from another world.
Truth is, no hunter from another world has ever reached S-rank.
Basically, otherworlders have this sense of chosen superiority at their core, and they're arrogant as hell. Take Reina—even she subtly looks down on people.
Her spirit or magic power is impressive, sure, but there's a fundamental limit. Otherworlders who receive elven power, unlike humans who can cover it with hard work, can't awaken without the World Tree's power.
Well, Reina is a heroine and the main dealer of this story. She'll get her awakening from the World Tree eventually.
Of course, even without that crap, she's insane enough to kill regular hunters with Hyunmoo-level Spirit Arrows.
Look at her. Calls me a friend, then a rival, now she's got the face of a soldier straight out of the battlefield ready to kill.
No, that's just a murderer. A killer trying to off an innocent girl.
"Life sucks. Just go ask her for the autograph yourself. Tsk tsk. You have the guts to shoot Hyunmoo-level Spirit Arrows at someone, but not for that?"
"You're my rival!"
So your rival is Choi Si-woo, you know.
She's hopeless. Fine. Looks like I have to humiliate her like the Flame Spear bitch.
I lit a cigarette.
"I'll end this fight before this cigarette burns out."
"Eek! No more holding back!"
One more scary thing about Reina.
As I said, elves master magic, and their otherworld descendants do too. And Reina's got chantless casting. Perfect condition for Spirit Arrows.
And that girl fired those Hyunmoo-level arrows at me.
Today, I'm ripping off those slightly short but pointier and longer-than-human elven ears.
The Spirit Arrow shot toward me. But it's slow. Too damn slow. What the fuck, are you messing around?
Huh? The text can even have swears now.
Perfect. No, I don't even need to narrate it.
But why is this text popping up when I'm not even saying anything?
The moment the Spirit Arrow touched my body, I grabbed it right away. Lightly with both hands. Then, without provoking it, I turned it back toward Reina.
If you're shooting arrows at people, you should be prepared to get shot too, right?
Plus, that girl fired a total of five missile-like arrows at me.
So I reflected them all. Right back at her.
In Acceleration state, the world is too slow. To let those reflected Spirit Arrows hit Reina properly, I should release Acceleration.
So I released Acceleration and Parallel Circuits.
At that moment, the arrows all flew toward Reina.
Screeech! Boom!
"Kyaaak!"
"See that, you dumb pointy-ears? That's my third ability. Reflection of anything."
The cadets sent intrigued looks at my declaration.
Choi Si-woo especially looked dumbfounded, like "What bullshit is that?"
Reina, covered in wounds, trembled with a frown.
"H-how... How could you do this to me?"
...From my memory, Reina was annoying but not this shameless.
"Weren't you shooting Hyunmoo-level arrows at me just a bit ago? Now you're playing the victim?"
"It was a joke!"
No point talking more—it'd just hurt my mouth. I approached Reina, who was already on her knees, and gently laid her down.
"Huh?"
Smack!
I smacked her butt hard.
"Kyak!"
Smack!
"Heung."
Smack!
"Heuuung."
Not to toot my own horn while hitting her, but...
Smack!
"Heuuk. Heung."
This girl's even worse than Han Su-ji.
So I stopped. Humiliating her is fine, but if I keep going, it'll turn from punishment to reward.
Can't give her what she wants.
I was about to wrap it up when someone caught my ear again.
"Truly perfect. Humiliating an otherworlder so openly."
"Right? Eun-ha's parents died protecting otherworlders—they should see this."
Im Yoo-jin, Yoo Jin-seok's colleague and now an academy professor despite not being a heroine, and Blazing Bat were openly trash-talking me.
Eun-ha's parents? My parents? If I wanna do it, I do it. If I wanna hit, I hit.
"Heung. Heung."
From a bit ago, Reina's moans seemed even more lascivious, so I just let her go.
Isn't this dangerous? Is this really the original world?
I mean, Reina's actually this perverted? Then what the hell is Choi Si-woo doing?
"Awesome?"
I glanced at Choi Si-woo, and he was flashing white teeth, thumbs up.
Does he have NTR fetish or something? Calm down. They're not even lovers yet, so it doesn't matter.
No, but if all the heroines are like this, what kind of heroine suits that guy?
How many left? Excluding Reina, Han Su-ji, and me, seven remain.
Yeah. If I were Choi Si-woo, honestly, I couldn't like a pervert girl who enjoys getting her ass smacked.
"Winner, uh, um. Yoo Eun-ha!"
Blazing Bat glanced at Reina, sprawled cat-like with her butt sticking out, and raised my hand.
On one side, Han Su-ji was biting her nails, looking at Reina with contempt. Yeah, figures. I was shocked, so the Flame Spear bitch must be floored.
"Yoo Eun-ha. Did you have to win like that?"
Who told you to make us spar? Blazing Bat's been too arrogant lately.
"Win however, as long as it's a win."
She was dead serious at first, but Reina's the one who turned it adult. Not me.
Maybe this is faithful to the source in its own way?
Shin Sword Invincible is a light novel genre anyway. Gotta have some gag elements.
Or maybe Reina really is that perverted.
Guess I should keep distance from her for a while.
Anyway.
"Fuck. The sky's darkening again."
Hansung Academy lunch is either cafeteria or buying from the snack bar.
I rarely come to the academy, but the cadet cafeteria fills up every lunch with people I don't recognize.
Other classes, seniors, whatever.
Funny thing is, almost everyone is above average looks. As expected of the protagonist's academy.
"You eat so little. Can you even move properly?"
That was Reina, who was moaning "heuung" until recently, sitting next to me.
"I can last days without eating."
"...Is that human?"
"Maybe not?"
Sugar water's enough.
I just eat for show. Oh, but I love snacks.
Cake, smoothies, tapioca, that stuff.
I could eat those forever. If money wasn't an issue.
Speaking of, didn't I earn a million won recently?
With that, I bought a bunch of snacks from the shop.
Cheesecake, tapioca, macarons, and more.
"You'll gain weight."
Reina nagged beside me.
Weight? Who? Me? Hilarious.
"I eat jokbal at night and sleep, no gain? Kyaruk. Kyarruk."
"I'll definitely defeat you one day."
"Heung. Heuk."
"Wh-why are you suddenly making those weird moans?"
Why do you think?
"Nah, it's the moans you made earlier. I even recorded them."
I pulled out my phone and showed a recording file.
Of course, bullshit. Do I care about some girl's moans?
"G-give it here! Kyaaak!"
"Hey, what are you doing? Pervert!"
Reina tumbled into my chest, wriggling.
What the hell? Asking to be eaten? One more wriggle and since it's a dream, I'll rip her apart beyond scissors.
"Crazy. My stomach didn't even bloat."
"You feel that? More importantly, wanna get off? Flame Spear bitch and Choi Si-woo are staring daggers."
"Eek."
No, precisely, their stares are different.
Flame Spear bitch glares murderously at Reina, Choi Si-woo looks pleased.
Those faces piss me off. Am I getting labeled a lesbian now?
And it actually happened.
That night, it went up on the Hansung Academy community anonymous board.
Is Yoo Eun-ha a lesbian?
[Gif of Yoo Eun-ha spanking Reina's butt in the duel]
[Gif of Yoo Eun-ha hugging and getting affectionate with Reina in the cafeteria]
I hate lesbians, but those two look good together.
Let me join in too.
Boarding the Reina coin.
Day Han Su-ji coin moons, let's go.
What about Choi Si-woo?
What do you mean? Yoo Eun-ha's bi, obviously.
Or Yoo Eun-ha tops.
Fuck.
