chapter 18
18 – A teacher’s obsession is like the sky (2)
Wing the sword in your right hand.
A blue solid line is drawn, and a blue flash of light flows out. An icy cold wind blows.
The action continues.
Spinning his body, he swung the sword in his left hand this time.
A red solid line is drawn. Blood-red flashes begin to flood along with flames. The flame soon turns into a small waterspout and rises into the sky.
Swing the sword without stopping.
Blue and red flashes explode continuously.
Ice and flames beautifully decorate the air.
-Crash.
The two swords make a neat sound as they enter their respective sheaths.
“Huh…”
Close your eyes and calm your breathing. The flow of mana, which was violently fluctuating, calmly subsides.
With a nervous heart, I open my eyes and check the numbers floating in the air.
[Receive swordsmanship and magic from Daphne. (Progress: 10.00002%)]
“Finally…!”
It’s been 5 years since I received the quest.
It has been 7 years since I was possessed.
[You can proceed with other quests.]
[You can escape from Daphne.]
I was finally able to free myself from the damn Master’s obsession.
****
I hear the sound of birds chirping and warm sunlight shines on my face.
“Hmm.”
Despite their efforts, I desperately resisted and refused to open my eyes.
Because I’m sleepy and lazy. It’s not such a trivial reason.
Of course, it’s not that there was no reason at all, but there was an even more valid reason why I didn’t want to wake up.
‘You need to be taller.’
To become even a little taller.
For this, sufficient sleep is essential.
I am now seventeen. It’s definitely an age where growth should be noticeable.
It’s already been one year. Now, the hateful figure of 170 has not changed.
At this point, I’m starting to get nervous. I’m afraid that even in this life, I won’t be able to feel the scent 1.8 Meters in the air.
‘f*ck.’
In fact, thinking about how even 170 is the result of rounding brings tears to my eyes.
“Disciple. “Why are you so damn lazy this morning?”
-Tuk.
In the meantime, a sickening voice is heard.
And then an unidentified piece of cloth flew onto his face.
My eyes open.
It is a pure white world. A pure white world where lace flutters.
“···.”
When I look at the real world next to the lace, I see Master looking at me with his eyes wide open with his hands on his hips.
“Disciple. Didn’t this teacher tell you to do your laundry on time and on time? “Are you saying that I, your heavenly teacher, have to wear the underwear I once wore again?”
Bullsh*t starts pouring out of her lips like a rapid fire.
I have doubts. How could he be so confident, throwing unwashed underwear in the face of his sleeping student?
“···Master.”
I would have held back normally, but today my lips opened.
It was worth it.
I was in a very bad mood because I had already checked the despairing figure of 168.7 Yesterday, and since morning, I have suffered an underwear attack.
If you endure it, you are an idiot.
“No, anyway, there hasn’t been anyone to look after it for over 100 years, and there won’t be any in the future, so why don’t you just dress casually?”
So I spit it out. The feelings I’ve been holding in for nearly 7 years.
“···.”
Are you shocked? Or am I angry?
Master’s mouth opens wide and his eyebrows begin to flutter.
As I looked at that scene, I felt relieved, as if the dam of a blocked stream had burst.
For some reason, the air inside the house feels refreshing, and the world suddenly feels warm.
“Ah.”
While rolling my eyes, I discovered the reason why the air and world around me had changed so suddenly, and I had to utter my last words for today.
– Grumbling.
-Kwadeuk.
Have you ever seen a cartoon about a boy who dreamed of becoming a pirate king?
Master was implementing it himself.
In his right hand, a fiery fist,
Ice Age in my left hand.
When I saw that, I gave up and quietly closed my eyes.
I was so upset for a moment that I forgot about it for a moment.
This world was a scary world where if you tolerated it, you would be an asshole, and if you did not tolerate it, you could become a real asshole.
****
The place I arrived with a basket full of laundry was a stream deep in the forest.
“Krrr….”
“Crrr!”
“Krkurr…”
Did he sense my popularity?
The three monsters who were gathered by the stream and plotting a plot turn their heads towards me.
A werewolf with a white mane.
A frog the size of a person.
A monkey rubbing its hands mischievously.
As befits beings who have been subordinated to demonic energy, they stared at me with their red eyes shining.
I was in a bad mood because my teacher had beaten me like a dog, so I threw away the laundry basket, frowned, and shouted at the guys.
“Suck it.”
Then they made noises as if they had been waiting and started running at lightning speed.
“Whoa!”
“Crrr!”
“Kkeulkeul!”
Toward the pile of laundry.
Were Wolf, ‘Hayang’, like an ace, divides the pile of laundry by type and color with flawless hands.
The frog monster, ‘Keroro’, uses his skillful tongue to spread detergent onto the laundry.
The monkey monster, ‘Seong Monkey’, vigorously beats the laundry with a wooden club as if he were angry.
I lay down on the hammock set up next to me, looking at the scene with satisfaction.
“Now you’re paying for food.”
Well, I’ve never fed them anything.
I am more than qualified to say this.
Because, I was a good person who saved these guys’ lives even though they were monsters and committed the great crime of spewing murderous intent in front of me.
Is that all? They are even giving me a chance to rehabilitate under the pretext of having a job.
Who else but me can discuss the cost of food with them?
“You guys are so lucky. Know?”
When I asked, they nodded with a humble smile even though they were monsters.
Honestly, it is not wrong.
If I hadn’t been a ‘vessel of sin’, these guys would have crossed the rainbow bridge and been suffering in the world instead of having a time of rehabilitation like they are now.
In fact, the people I met before I came up with the idea of using the ‘vessel of sin’ ability have long since left. Cross that rainbow bridge and go to the world.
‘It seems like something special.’
Looking at the piles of laundry being processed in an instant, I smile happily again.
On the one hand, I feel regret.
Why didn’t I think of this a long time ago?
These tamed monsters not only play the role of home appliances that replace the now annoying housework.
It possesses demonic energy, so it even serves as a totem that blocks the approach of the teacher.
‘What on earth is that intangible chain?’
I still haven’t figured out the identity of the chains that are binding my teacher.
The only thing I found out was that the chain reacted to magical energy.
Well, it doesn’t matter. No, I am rather grateful.
Anyway, thanks to that, I was able to have some time for myself like I do now.
“Keuung.”
Is it already done? When I turned my head, I saw ‘Hayang’ holding out the laundry basket in a polite manner.
“You worked hard. “Of all the monsters I’ve ever met, you are the most easy to manipulate.”
Is it because you look special today?
Or is it because he was beaten so badly?
Compliments that I would not normally say came out of my mouth.
“Heung.”
“Kruk.”
Then, ‘Hayang’ seemed to be moved and licked her hand as if she was embarrassed, and ‘Keroro’ made her long tongue into a heart shape.
That’s a bit bizarre.
“Cluck, click, key look!”
Then, a bright laughter was heard.
When I turned my head, I saw the ‘Sung Monkey’ holding his stomach and laughing.
What is so enjoyable? Out of curiosity, I followed his gaze.
It’s my face.
“Hayang.”
While massaging my swollen cheeks and lumps, I sang the match of ‘Seong Monkey’ in a soft voice.
“Aren’t you taking care of your successor?”
I uttered just one word and quietly closed my eyes.
It wasn’t that I didn’t want to step forward, but it was annoying. Above all, I had a lot to think about today.
Khuuong. Crumble.
Amid the shouts of werewolves and howls of monkeys.
I opened the status window.
—-
[Name: Camel Hyacinth]
[Age: 17 years old]
[Level: 32]

[Characteristics: Vessel of sin, deceiver of balance (lv.9), Astronomical eye (lv.9), Swordsmanship (lv.17), Divine sword (lv.Max), starlight (lv.7)]

Looking at the results achieved over the past 7 years, my heart is touched.
I don’t know how much effort I put in and how much I suffered to grow this much.
‘This should be enough.’
Assuming that control is provided.
This is a status window that is sufficient not only to block the harem of Fran, the main character of the original work, but also to defeat all bosses that appeared in the game.
‘Spring is coming soon.’
It is time for the main episode I remember to begin.
So, we need to get away from the teacher and head to the academy.
‘The question is whether Master will obediently let me go.’
I don’t think that’s going to happen.
-“Academy? “What is a disciple doing when he has this teacher?”
-“Do you want to play house? Or, did you want to disobey this teacher’s words and be consumed by ‘lust’?”
-“Even so, it was very annoying to see this clever girl, who I don’t know if it was Rose or Jonghyun, flirting with my student… Carmel, let me say it again. “If by any chance you continue to disobey this teacher’s words…”
-Snip.
The knife I was holding, the sweet potato that was split exactly in half.
I get goosebumps when I think of the teacher who smiled cruelly and trailed off his words.
‘Why did it suddenly change?’
A question that suddenly arises. Why did Master change so much?
I don’t understand. You acted so harsh at first.
Now you’re acting like you can’t live without me.
‘I saw signs from the time I saved Rose.’
When I think about it, I think it started like that from the day after he went to sleep hugging me.
From that day on, Daphne would brainwash me and tell me not to speak more than ten words to women, and would not even allow me to stay out in the evening.
I don’t know if that was all.
Daphne came into my room once a week and even checked the tracking spell that had been planted on me while I was pretending to be asleep.
“···.”
As I was looking back on the past years of being born as a man and living like a chick in a chicken coop, I suddenly felt a sense of self-destruction.
How much self-destruction must I have been in?
I chewed my lips and made a promise once again.
“Let’s run away.”
At least to live like a man.
At least to prevent the destruction of the world.
I absolutely had to do that.
