I Became the Daughter of the Academy’s Villain

<898 - Dark Shadow vs Dark Shadow (7)>

A shining divinity flashed above the flying spaghetti monster’s head.

━━━

Asin: An existence that has suffered significant loss and has fallen from God’s hierarchy to Asin’s level. Cannot regain divinity until damage is repaired or a new level is established.

━━━

The power of Asin, who had lost divinity, could not match that of a true god, but it exhibited comparable effects.

━━━

[Metabolism Boost] Barrier

– Effect 1: The barrier becomes inactive upon consuming a total of 1,000,000 calories worth of food within a restricted time in a specific area.

– Effect 2: The restricted time is 1 hour from the barrier’s activation.

– Effect 3: If the barrier’s effect is not解除 within the time limit and one remains in the area, the daily metabolism can surge up to 100,000 calories.

━━━

All cooking must be gathered within an hour to fill the calories.

“What should I do?”

“Cook quickly!”

“No, the cafeteria got hit by a tsunami.”

Under the barrage of accusations, I reluctantly opened my overflowing food bag.

“We have plenty to eat!”

“Yay!”

“As expected of the Dark Princess. I trusted you!”

The students, excitedly reaching for plates and utensils, couldn’t hide their bewilderment.

“Why is the food so red…?”

“Why does it smell so spicy…?”

“I was collecting spicy food!”

Regret spread across everyone’s faces.

“Damn. Oknodie has been notoriously known as a chronic spicy eater since being a chief scholarship student. It was foolish of us to think about eating what Oknodie eats.”

“Red food, I can’t believe it. Such colors shouldn’t exist in this world!”

“With a smell that pierces the nose, if ordinary people tried eating this, their bodies might melt away.”

The Jigoku Pirate Group hastily sought alternatives.

“Dig into the emergency rations!”

“Take out all the biscuits!”

“How much jerky is left?”

They pulled out food randomly, and one member managing the food calculated the calories instead.

“With the feed for the animals we have on board, the remaining amount is way too little. At this rate, we can only gather 500,000 calories!”

“Oh, God, no way. Are we seriously going to have to eat this extreme spiciness?!”

The dishes pulled out were supposed to be good, but the reactions were less than favorable.

It seemed that everyone, being spice novices, did not dare to challenge themselves.

Well, it can’t be helped.

As a veteran player here, it’s my duty to consider the newbies!

I kindly brought out normal-looking dishes for those who couldn’t handle the spice.

The reactions were overwhelmingly positive.

“The color looks fine.”

“There’s no dangerous smell.”

“Finally some common sense has appeared! Thanks, Oknodie!”

“Shall we grab one each?”

“Okay. Let’s split it per person!”

Members who picked up the random rice balls popped them into their mouths.

Then tears welled up in one member’s eyes as they clutched their throat, gasping for water and dropping their cup.

The student, unable to finish their meal, glared at me resentfully before collapsing.

“Oh, Oknodie, what have you done?”

“You hit the random spicy taste lottery!”

“…”

That’s right.

What kind of average dish could possibly go into a collection of dishes?

Normal-looking dishes had been Russian roulette meals, injecting poison into one of the many.

“How can this be happening?!”

“Oknodie, are you even human?!”

“Concealing poison is too much!”

I felt wronged as well.

I carefully selected those dishes by grading them as less spicy!

“How can this level of spiciness be considered poison?! Koreans eat worse than this every day!”

“And where are these ‘Koreans’ living?!”

“A small ethnic group at the end of the Eastern Region!”

“Ugh! Sing must have grown up eating this self-abuse of a dish, ruining his character but becoming an exceptional swordsman instead.”

In front of the bomb of random spicy dishes, those who had their spirits dampened displayed fear and resentment simultaneously.

“Oknodie. To fill that 1,000,000 calories, everyone among the living would need to consume 2,500 calories each. It only works if the food isn’t spicy!”

“Eh? But dead people can eat too, right?”

“…!”

Eyes turned toward Sadi Chocolate and the Undead Seniors.

With a foreboding look, Sadi Chocolate smiled sheepishly and tried to escape into the shadows, only to be caught by Jiang.

“Where do you think you’re running off to?”

“Everyone, the undead have weak digestive systems and absorb nutrients via mana breathing. It wouldn’t matter if they can’t digest food!”

“Then why are you trying to run?”

“I don’t know!”

I quickly revealed the secret of the growth-type undead.

“Growth-type undead undergo a transformation where their entire body becomes like a mana-absorbing organ. Once their digestive system transforms into a mana-absorbing organ, even undead will regain the ability to digest!”

“Is what Oknodie said true?”

“Ugh, infuriatingly smart. Yes, it’s true.”

Sadi Chocolate sighed deeply.

“Why didn’t you say it from the start?”

“Since I didn’t want to suffer through the food torture. Any energy that the mana-absorbing organ rejects turns to fat, and overindulging is equally bothersome. Even the taste buds partially reviving makes eating disgusting.”

“Hmph. If you all want to stay comfortable, then you better finish your share of the meals!”

Under Jiang’s insistence, Sadi Chocolate and the upper-level students from the third-year class begrudgingly reached for the Russian roulette food series.

“This is how spicy it feels with only 10% of taste…?”

“Uah, it’s too spicy!”

“The taste seems designed to kill!”

“Still, we’ve eaten almost all of it.”

“Just three more plates to go…”

“Wow, you’ve almost finished everything. Let me refill!”

The random dishes, where one of many was secretly spicy, were strategically prepared for the collection quest.

Just by reaching out, numerous plates would appear. Therefore, I used induction techniques and deceleration techniques to place the plates back in front of the students who were about to leave.

“Just kill me already…”

“Ugh, agh. I can’t handle it anymore!”

One undying senior couldn’t take the exceptionally spicy flavor they experienced for the first time and released magic power toward their mouth and jaw.

Boom!

With their mouth and jaw missing, the senior wore a relieved expression, showing that they were finally free, so I quickly activated [Instant Healing] using five of the major healing spells: [Recovery], [Restoration], [Reconstruction], [Healing], and [Acceleration].

“Tada! Now even if you’ve injured part of your body, you can eat in peace again. Feel free to eat heartily without fear of injuries!”

The senior, overwhelmed with emotion, trembled and welled up with tears.

Grumbling about me being a devil-like person, I thought it was a compliment since they were proficient in dark magic like the demon clan.

Since I praised them too much, I’ll make sure to give them some titanium implants and a sturdy mouth capable of chowing down on Giant King Crab shells next time!

Current progress: 66.5325%

665,325 calories / 1,000,000 calories

While everyone was diligently filling the number with their sacrifices, another alarm blared.

From afar, a colossal cross descended upon the ground, and a tremendous force erupted. It was clear that Warrior Ishtar had accomplished something.

However, the frequency of the alarms began to quicken, as Senior Velvet’s oversized shoes and Senior Glass’s backlight flashed brightly, causing commotion in the sky.

Another high-ranking monster, rivaling an eighth-tier world raid boss, appeared before us.

“Little lady. Something bigger is coming!”

“It’s okay!”

“Is there a way to counter it?”

The world raid boss that has appeared this time was an evil spirit called [Thousand Skull Demon], wearing a thousand masks and was known as a high-ranking monster of the evil realm, coming to collect heads from those who’ve committed serious wrongdoings to elevate their status within the Evil God rank. It sometimes invades the Middle Realm.

Having angered the Principal, half of its skull was smashed, and the masks were largely cracked, but it still had the power to easily overwhelm students.

“After Professor Sadako’s retirement, when the quest activates, many undead instructors’ heads or high-ranking undead will cling to it, even though this time Professor Sadako is feeling good and isn’t retired, so that won’t happen!”

“…A being capable of becoming a demigod is dangerous enough!”

“Che. Even if we don’t do anything, it will eventually kill itself!”

“Such a ominous being can devastate the Middle Realm for years without a Death Zone!”

“But we have the flying spaghetti monster here.”

Monsters fight each other differently based on their species and tendencies.

Once a dominator-level behemoth emerges, its desire to engulf others’ bodies and souls to become stronger arises.

As expected, the flying spaghetti monster showed tremendous aversion towards the threat posed by the Thousand Skull Demon.

Fwippp!

The spaghetti strands rose menacingly, but the Thousand Skull Demon charged ahead without a care.

Dozens of skulls recited ominous spells, unleashing powerful curses, and again dozens of skulls opened their mouths to cast grand magic simultaneously.

An assault comparable to a lone army unfolded in the sky, but the matchup favored the spaghetti monster.

Part of the attacks targeted us, the students.

That greed quickly determined the outcome.

[Peaceful Trial]

[Effect: In order to escape, any enemies disrupting the trial must be consumed in proportion to the combat power demonstrated by the opponent.]

Behind the Thousand Skull Demon, the lid of a golden beer bottle popped open, and massive strands of pasta began pulling the skulls into the bottle.

As the cap was secured back on the bottle, the beer-shaped dimensional gate’s form vanished, leaving only the flying spaghetti monster in the sky.

“Is that monster protecting us?”

“Monster? That’s Asin, you should be calling it a god!”

“I think I’m about to start a religion…”

While it was fun watching everyone overwhelmed by gratitude, I revealed the one unnoticed problem.

“If we can defeat a dominator-level monster this easily with help, there’s just one small issue.”

“A small issue?”

“Out of pity for these weak lower races who can’t respond to crises with their own power, Asin’s ‘mercy’ comes down to us!”

Behind the wall, which was already halfway to quota, a new wall began to rise.

[Metabolism Boost Barrier A – Approx. 67%]

[Metabolism Boost Barrier B – 0%]

The quota increased by another 1,000,000 calories.

Fear visibly appeared on everyone’s faces.

“Don’t worry about securing food. We have plenty, so I’ll take care of bringing it. You guys just focus on eating and emptying it away!”
