I Teleported Into the Academy of a S*xy Game

Lucy’s Strategy Route (4)

I pushed away the disturbing sight of Lucy shaking her hips like an inverted frog from my field of view.

My heart was pounding. It was a clear sign that my Battle Sense was kicking in.

“Son of a bitch, did you plan this from the beginning?”

Ugh, his unsightly thing was still dangling there. Can’t unsee that now.

“You just had to ruin the greatest moment of my life! I’ll make you suffer as much as possible!”

[Maybe it’s a good idea to run for your life. With both his horns fully grown, he’s beyond your league.]

The number of horns in a demon is determined by the amount of mana they possess. If a demon has two large horns, it is at the level of an active Class B Hunter. Logically, it was a power difference that a normal student couldn’t overcome.

“Let’s see about that.”

My combat power couldn’t be judged solely by the amount of mana.

[Battle Sense], [Vision Enhancement], and [Mana Sensitivity]—these three abilities, though not visibly apparent, significantly boosted my combat capabilities.

Moreover, Felix seemed to have exhausted a substantial amount of mana. Likely used it once to cast the barrier, then again to put Lucy in that state, and more to create the magic circle.

Considering all that, I judged the situation should be manageable.

The system window appeared before my eyes, and the rewards looked quite motivating.

“Kkaaaaah!”

Felix’s face contorted in frustration. With an eerie sound, the androgynous blond boy’s body gradually grew larger.

[Watch out, his mana has doubled!]

“It’s fine…”

“Grarrr… Oh, I’ll rip you apart and make you die in agony. Don’t even think of dying peacefully!”

Felix’s androgynous face transformed into a repulsive one resembling a mix of orc and goblin. The once petite man swelled up, suddenly twice my height, fully transformed into a demon.

*Thump!*

My Battle Sense heightened even further. I remained calm and judged that I could handle this quite well. Although I sensed Felix’s mana had more than doubled, I suspected this enhancement was temporary.

“Graaarrrr…!”

Felix was burning through his own life force. Perhaps he was so furious about his disrupted time with Lucy that he was going all out from the start. He was exhaling life energy as if he could tear me apart and kill me at any moment.

“Just hold on for 5 minutes. No, just 4 minutes.”

[He’s definitely in an abnormal frenzy state. I want to help, but…]

“Stay still for now.”

In truth, my mana capacity itself was below average. My combat power relied solely on my special perks and talents. I wasn’t sure how weak Lilliana would be with lower mana than mine.

She probably wouldn’t be much help in combat. Besides, it’s odd to expect someone who’s just a money copier and not even a succubus to participate in a fight.

“I’ll finish it quickly! I won’t hold back!”

Felix couldn’t control his strength and continued to unleash his momentum towards me. I activated my mana to assume a combat stance.

*Thunk!*

Soon, Felix forcefully squeezed out his body’s mana and charged at me, striking the ground with force. In the blink of an eye, he closed the distance and swung a mana-charged fist at me.

*Bam!*

*Crack!*

Reacting swiftly to his speed, I quickly deployed my Cotton Guard, but I was sent flying and slammed into the wall with my body encased in the Cotton Guard.

“Damn… That hurts like hell.”

The shields surrounding me, the Cotton Guard, were as solid as a unique skill. Just by seeing Felix’s left fist turning in an impossible direction upon impact, I knew it must have been severely damaged. But I hadn’t anticipated the sheer physical force.

*Gasp.*

My chest hurt intensely, as if a rib had come out of place. Given the metallic taste in my mouth, it could be internal injuries.

*Grrraaah!*

Felix screamed in pain, forcefully straightening his fist that was bent at an angle greater than 90 degrees. Holding together completely shattered bones and tissues with mana consumed even more of his strength.

It seemed to be getting difficult for him to maintain his sanity as he oozed saliva from his bloodshot eyes and charged at me again.

Despite his fist being completely shattered, he still hadn’t learned. He believed his attack worked because I got injured, but that was simply due to my lack of combat experience.

I thought I’d be safe if I covered my entire body in the Cotton Guard. But I realized he only attacked from one direction. It should make it easier for me to counter.

I focused my mana in the direction Felix was coming from and turned the Cotton Guard into a solid wall.

*Bam!*

As expected, the result was just as I anticipated. Felix’s fist was completely bent backward, shattered, and I remained unharmed.

“Gaaaaarrghhh!”

In an instant, Felix vanished before my eyes.

*Shwoosh!*

The sound of the wind reached my ears. He was swiftly circling around me, trying some psychological tactics, but my keen eyesight didn’t fall for it.

His speed kept increasing, as if he was going all out for this attack, rapidly depleting the mana within his body.

Even on the verge of death, he was still a demon with two fully grown horns. The speed he achieved through mana doping was almost too much for me to handle.

Naturally, such speed also meant an increase in his power. Although the Cotton Guard was solid, I had already spent a fair amount of mana. I couldn’t guarantee I could fully block an attack if he landed it properly.

I decided to abandon the shield and relaxed my body.

Then, I focused more mana on my [Vision Enhancement] to track Felix’s movements. Slowly, I accelerated the flow of mana through my body along the circuits. Thanks to [Battle Sense], I was much more adept at accelerating than during training.

*Wooooong*

The rapidly circulating mana extended to the space around me.

Felix must have sensed something, as he stopped spinning and charged towards me.

*Swoosh!*

With a sonic boom, the ground beneath Felix sank due to the shockwave. He rushed at me like a bullet, and by the time I sensed his presence, he was right in front of me.

I saw his hand reaching for my neck. However, I already had control over the space.

Transferring the acceleration force of my mana rotation into space, I flowed through his attack as if water was guiding my movements.

Felix looked around, puzzled by my sudden disappearance.

*Zaaap!*

Utilizing [Acceleration], I positioned myself behind Felix in an instant and hit him with a spell.

“Krraaaaaaaah!”

I poured out almost all of my remaining mana. Enormous flames engulfed Felix’s body, consuming him.

“Haa, haa, haa…”

My strength was draining. I slowly stepped back and watched him burn.

I did it.

It was my first proper battle, but I had a good chance of winning, so I took the challenge, and that’s why I emerged victorious.

[Hmm, is that enough?]

“Hey, don’t say that, dammit…”

Amidst the flames, Felix clutched my neck, his eyes blazing.

“Kkuh, no way…”

Though he was clearly dying, he wouldn’t let go of my neck, as if determined to take me with him.

Damn it, I let my guard down.

I should have dealt with him perfectly, but lacking any experience in killing, I didn’t think about that.

“Kkuueuk.”

Intense heat spread through my body along his messed-up and nearly broken hand. Felix slowly opened his mouth. Saliva dripped, and his rotten breath neared my face.

Does he intend to bite off my head since he doesn’t have hands?

My mind raced, trying to think of something to do, but I couldn’t come up with any solution. I used too much mana just now to finish him off.

Right before Felix’s mouth touched my hair,

*Poof!*

With that sound, Felix, who was approaching me, stopped, and the grip of the hand holding my neck weakened.

“Only 3 seconds to stop him! Kill him!”

Liliana, who had canceled her transformation, shouted while sitting down.

It took less than a second to grasp the situation. I had to finish Felix within the remaining time.

I scraped together the magic power that I thought was at its limit. There was only a small amount of mana left inside my body. It was difficult to cast a proper spell. But I didn’t have time to ponder. Felix was still struggling to break free from the charm magic.

In a desperate moment, as I saw his mouth opening to bite me, I thought of a way.

The inside of my body was weaker than the outside. With that thought, I focused my mana on my fingertips.

The feeling of mana exhaustion I felt when I first met Lucy engulfed me. But [Battle Sense] and [Clear Mental Strength] forcibly kept me awake so that I wouldn’t collapse.

I materialized my mana. Through one finger, I created a sharp needle. My aim was to pierce Felix’s mouth and penetrate it into his brain. It was the sharpest attack I could create with the remaining mana.

The moment Felix widened his eyes to figure out the situation after breaking free from the charm magic…

*Stab!*

With a gruesome sound, the sharp needle protruded from the back of Felix’s head. At the same time, I lost all my strength and collapsed backward.

“Haa, haa, haa…”

I had no strength even to lift a finger.

As I fell, the finger that I had stabbed Felix with also came off, but there was already a hole in his head.

Felix stood still in the posture when the charm magic was lifted. If he moved now, both Liliana and Lucy, and even I, would end up dead.

However, suddenly, the fatigue that had been pressing on my body disappeared, and my heavy breathing eased, filling up my lungs to my chin.

This means…

[Quest complete!]

“Hueup!”

Vigor surged through my whole body. I sprang up from lying as if dead, surprising Liliana, who was sitting down.

“Thanks to you, we finished it. Liliana, thanks for your help.”

“I, um, it’s not like I didn’t want to help! I was just keeping an eye out until the end. Don’t get the wrong idea, you hear?!”

“Yeah, yeah, thanks.”

Felix remained in the standing position as he met his demise.

I killed a person for the first time.

Of course, he was a gruesome demon, not exactly a person, but he had shown his human form, so it felt like I had seen him as a human at some point.

It was a somewhat strange feeling, but I didn’t feel particularly sad or anything.

“Oh, wait. This is not the time for that.”

I rushed over to Lucy, who had been left alone since earlier.

Lucy was trembling, with almost no strength to even move her waist. Every few seconds, she convulsed, spurting tears. Her backside was almost like a puddle, making squelching sounds every time she shivered.

“Haah, aaah…”

*Squelch, squelch*

This looks quite serious.

“Huh, if we leave her like this, she might go insane.”

“Liliana, what did you say?”

“I understand it from watching her. It seems like she’s under the influence of a severe estrus magic and can’t relieve herself since she’s tied up. It must be driving her crazy.”

Lucy was shivering with her eyes rolled back. Now that my stamina and mana have recovered, I released the mana rope. But Lucy seemed to have no strength to soothe herself and only stuck out her tongue, quivering.

“Can you reverse this estrus magic? With your magical skills, it should be possible. Just do it with the same technique when releasing the barrier.”

“Hold on a moment.”

As I prepared to reverse the magic, a status window appeared before my eyes.

★ Heroine Status Window

[Lucy]

[Affection: 35]

[Lust: 97]

[Appetite: 35]

[Fatigue: 75]

Current Condition: Abnormal State (Estrus) The progress of the abnormal state is already too high. Reversing the magic now could leave lasting aftereffects on the body. The best solution is to inject male semen into the uterus. At this time, strong affection will be felt towards the first male she receives semen from.

“What the fuck?”

Normally, the status window appeared when I intended to see it, but now it popped up without my control.

There was no “Current Condition” before, and I had no idea what it meant, but it didn’t seem to be harmful to me.

“No way. If I reverse the estrus magic now, there might be aftereffects on her body.”

I calmly explained the situation to Liliana.

“What? How do you know that?”

“I can just tell by looking.”

Despite defeating Felix, Lucy was still in danger.

There was no time to hesitate. Every second counted, so I quickly took off my pants without any hesitation.

“Hey, hey! You said you’re going to reverse the magic, why are you taking off your pants?!”

“No, I said I can’t reverse it now!”

“Why can’t you?! You can dispel the barrier in 10 seconds with your other magic!”

“I said there would be aftereffects!”

“Unbelievable! You’re taking off your pants and acting like you’re a pure-hearted person?!”

What is she saying?

I couldn’t explain the status window, and it was frustrating. There really was no other choice. Lucy had to be injected with semen in her uterus right away.

It was the only way.

“Lucy, I’m sorry. It’s all for your sake, so please bear with it for a while.”

“You pervert! Pretending to be innocent while in reality, you’re just a sex maniac!”

Liliana broke the mood and shouted.

“For the love of God, just shut up! You crazy succubus!”

*Hueup* *Heak* *Ahuk* *Hieuuueuk*

*Squelch, squelch*

The only sounds echoing in the basement were the squelching noises from Lucy’s puddle of arousal fluid.
