Academy Assassination Genius

A terrifying feeling like sticking your head into the jaws of a beast ran through your body, but strangely, nothing happened.

It’s probably not because I’m used to living.

[What are you doing standing up and talking? Sit there.]

At that moment, a chair appeared behind me.

It’s not flashy, but a wooden chair with delicate carvings.

In a series of actions, the flow of mana was not felt, and the chair existed as if it had been here from the beginning.

‘Since it’s inside the space of one’s own image, is it as simple as this?’

Sitting on a chair, I turned around and saw a table in front of me.

Refreshments and steaming tea were prepared on the small table.

The sweet scent of tea wafted in, but I didn’t feel like drinking it.

Haze, sitting on a chair across the table, looked at me plainly and opened his mouth.

[I should start with the name. The girl’s name is… Yes, it is called ‘Maegu’. Let me introduce you like that now.]

He’s hiding his real name.

How could a person’s name be Maegoo?

It might be because it’s a monster, not a human, but my senses told me that the name was a lie.

‘Maegu’ is an expression that collectively refers to fox monsters. Among the fox youkai, the most famous one is… .’

Even if it looks like this, the body that read fairy tale books diligently in elementary school.

As an extensive reading award, I even received cultural gift certificates from time to time.

I remember reading two or three fairy tales related to fox tales.

It was not difficult to guess the identity of this guy through the shimmering haze silhouette and the pseudonym he referred to.

[Can you tell me your name? It’s rude to just stare at it.]

“It’s Hanzo.”

[Hmm. i get it. It sounds like you’re too embarrassed to give your real name. Even the woman who saw it noticed that much.]

First of all, it’s a real name.

There was no reason to explain anything, so I decided to continue the conversation as it is.

“Tell me your proposal first.”

[Your temper is also impatient. I don’t have much time, but there’s no need to be impatient, right?]

Maegu rested his chin on one hand and continued.

It must be its tail that flutters behind its back.

Wouldn’t it be nine with a high probability?

It was a little disappointing that I couldn’t count them precisely because the silhouettes were unclear.

[It’s been thousands of years since we’ve had a conversation like this. Wouldn’t you be able to do that?]

thousands of years.

It’s been a long time that I can’t even relate to, but it’s a story that has nothing to do with me.

If you don’t want to get to the point from the other side, I have no choice but to draw it out.

“I don’t think there’s any point in dragging out time, right?”

[What do you mean by wasting time?]

“Do you think I see guys like you once or twice?”

Actually, it’s the third.

It was because there were two urethra that appeared in the novel.

Only two of them appeared directly in the novel.

I knew there were a few more, but I didn’t expect to meet them in this way.

[Ha ha ha ha ha!]

A mad laugh rang out.

Because of the haze, I couldn’t see the exact expression, but I could read the shape of her mouth.

The corners of the mouth curved like a crescent moon.

I was laughing with my mouth ripped open.

“Did everyone laugh?”

The laughter stopped after a while.

The tail, which had been moving wildly in sync with the laughter, stopped and pointed its tip at me.

Even though he laughed so much, he answered my question without feeling short of breath.

[Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve been laughing. I don’t even know how long it’s been since I’ve laughed.]

Hearing that answer, he lowered his gaze to his feet at the sudden feeling of alienation.

Water up to your feet.

No, it’s the other way around.

The water is not rising, I am sinking.

[I would have liked to have a little more conversation if possible, but I can’t help it if you know.]

It rose from the chair and slowly approached me.

Even though it was only a silhouette, that gesture contained a demonic spirit that possessed people.

Not made, but innate nature.

It must have had the talent of bewitching people.

[Be patient. it will be over soon Just think of it as falling into a long sleep.]

A calm and relaxed voice.

It came with a sweetness like a lullaby.

He probably intends to eat my entire consciousness.

If it sinks into the water and is completely sucked in, the body will be taken away.

“Then, as I said earlier, I don’t have any tempting offers, right?”

[It will be like that.]

“I was expecting nothing.”

After all, all monsters are like that.

It wasn’t what I expected, but I didn’t expect it to show its true colors so quickly.

I thought I’d buy more time by sticking out my flippers or turning my horse around.

Are you confident enough?

“Your goal is to take my body?”

[It will be like that. It won’t be very long. About 30 years? After that, I will try to return it.]

“If I sink completely, will I be able to trap my consciousness and take over my body?”

[You feel good.]

I’m obsessed with a monster

It’s a little different from what I know, but it must be this guy’s way.

[I have strong enough mental strength to maintain the form of a soul here… sniff sniff.]

Maegu, who had come close enough to breathe, sniffed his face and sniffed it.

As if he noticed something strange, he looked up at me and continued talking.

[The smell of the horn and bag is different. How can this be?]

“… What else do you mean by that?”

Unknowingly, a question popped out of my head at the absurd sound.

[To put it simply, isn’t that body yours?]

“… … .”

[There is no trace of witchcraft, so how is this possible?]

No matter how much you call it a fox youkai, you can’t imagine being able to see through it with its scent.

Is it a feat that is possible only because it is within the space of one’s own image?

Or is it because foxes are also canines, so their sense of smell is exceptionally developed?

[Well, it doesn’t matter. What I need is not a soul, but a bag, that body.]

Maegu’s hand caresses my chin.

alluring touch.

A twilight sensation passed through her skin.

[The face… It’s not my taste, but I can’t afford to consider that.]

“okay? I quite like this face.”

Even if an idol’s visual center is impossible, I think it’s a face that can do a talented lead vocal.

Or are you in charge of dancing?

I’m not confident in both singing and dancing, and I have no intention of becoming an idol.

[It might become like that once you get used to it, but it’s not my taste. My preference is a little more manly.]

“okay?”

[Anything else aside, I don’t particularly like the eyes.]

That’s something I admit too.

The pupils are cloudy, and the eyes are dead.

It’s not even a rotten dynamic eye, but should I say it’s about the same as a freshly dead fresh ecological eye?

[There is no point in struggling. This is inside the original girl’s image space. A space where the original woman is the owner and ruler… .]

The fox youkai’s words didn’t follow through to the end.

It’s a pity that you can’t see the expression.

He must have had a distorted expression on his face.

[I guess so. how… .]

sigh- sigh-

The sound of chains colliding with chains began to be heard.

[How can you move?]

Moved mana.

The flow of mana flowing through the circuit was more flexible than before.

‘Even though Chun Yu-ran has restored it, mana is showing the bottom. Still, this much… .’

Extends the flow of mana out of the body.

Mana permeating towards the chain attached to the waist.

It’s impossible to handle all nine of them because they didn’t fully accept me as their owner, but I think I can move up to two of them with my own power.

[And what else is that!]

Maegu took a step back and said.

It seemed that he felt that this was dangerous.

The chain imbued with mana starts to move according to my will.

“I told you. There is no point in dragging time.”

I was suddenly dragged into this place, but it wasn’t that I didn’t prepare for anything.

Especially for the guy named ‘Yodo’, he was well prepared.

‘Considering the anecdotes related to the Kowloon Mythology, they are no different from monsters and natural enemies.’

Originally, this was one of the things prepared for the ‘Sword that possesses people’ episode, to be used on Yodo, who will be bewitched by Yuri Baek.

After all, there was an explanation in the setting book that it was possible to seal only the monsters before they were completely possessed.

[Is it Gingo? nope Similar but different.]

Maybe the creator should say the same person, the same freshman?

Gingoya is something that has never appeared in novels or set books.

Seeing you say that, it might be somewhere I don’t know about.

“I can forgive you now. If you get me out of here, I won’t be using this on you.”

[…] … .]

In the first place, this wasn’t something I prepared to deal with.

Even if we do fight, I will save it as much as possible unless it is a really dangerous situation.

I have not yet become the rightful owner of this artifact.

If you forcefully use it, it will surely cause problems later.

So, if possible, it would be nice to be able to finish the peace negotiations like this.

[Sorry, but that won’t work. How many opportunities is this? You can’t miss it like this.]

It seems you can’t do that.

Is this the fifth?

How many fights do you have to fight every day?

[I tried to do it in a way that caused as little pain as possible, but it became difficult.]

The human form collapsed.

Four elongated legs with a long muzzle.

Only the wagging tail remained the same, but it was dozens of times larger than before.

Like the name Maegoo, the shape of a huge fox looked down at me.

“Is that your true self?”

[It only has a shape. The original appearance is a little more elegant.]

A sharp wildness touches the nape of the neck, as if reversing the bewitching atmosphere that had been exuding until now.

A sense of intimidation that has inflated several times.

The space itself seems to oppress me.

‘Is this because it’s phase 2?’

It wouldn’t have mattered if it was simply a change in appearance.

It’s because the nature of the power it possesses cannot be changed just by inflating its size.

However, the change in that was so dramatic that it was hard to believe even after confirming the change in front of my eyes.

‘Something has essentially changed.’

It exudes authority as a predator that stimulates the essential survival desire.

There was no way he was hiding that level of dignity, so it is assumed that he temporarily inflated it in some way.

‘Compress the power… Opposite. By spreading it, the level was raised even momentarily.’

It would be correct to interpret it that way.

As evidence of that, its body was breaking down faster than before it changed.

“Do you think you will collapse faster than I will sink?”

[I think so too. Maintaining this state for a long time is a considerable burden for the original woman.]

Splash- Splash-

The water level, which barely touched the top of my foot, rose to my ankles.

The sinking speed is faster than I thought.

‘It’s a bit of an obstacle, but it doesn’t seem to interfere with movement yet.’

This is in that image space, the more time passes, the more disadvantaged I am.

“So, give me one more chance. Even if I look like this, I am a pacifist.”

[A pacifist on the subject of such bloody things.]

“If you want peace, prepare for war. You have a saying like that. It’s for defense anyway. So what’s my recommendation? This is your final notice. There is no next.”

[Definitely rejected.]

“Well, I thought you would say that.”

Cheer la la rock-

At my gesture, the chain wrapped in mana shot towards the head of the giant fox youkai.

A blow fired with the intention of piercing the middle of the forehead and knocking him down in one blow.

However, the hand taste transmitted through the chain was empty.

[…] … !]

The timing was perfect, but more than that, the evasion was quick.

If I had just finished the attack, the story would have been simpler.

Maegu, who avoided the attack by taking a step back, looked at me and growled.

[It’s like a weak human being.]

“I’ll take that as a compliment.”

Fortunately, the resistance from the Kowloon Shinhwajo was not as great as expected.

But strangely, the activation of the attribute was slow.

It wasn’t completely unusable, but it was inconvenient to use.

‘It seems that the effects of the always-applied attributes have faded significantly, and it seems a bit more emotional than usual.’

Emotions that would otherwise have been cut off remained and disturbed my mind.

[Where are you looking away!]

The front paws were swung.

Although he had a body like a haze, the weight felt from the blow was something that could not be ignored.

bang!

Tables and chairs are broken and debris splashes.

‘If hit, it will turn into mush.’

Or you’ll be thrown into the water and your body will be taken away.

Avoiding the attack, he swung a two-pronged chain.

I avoided the trajectory of the chain that was strongly swung vertically with light movements.

[It sounds like it.]

The tail swung at the same time as the huge body rotated half a turn.

Could this be the feeling of a bug with a broom in front of it?

A tail so large that it filled my vision swung at me.
