Chapter 75. Magic Analysis

Chapter 75. Magic Analysis

As if responding to my curiosity, the system window appeared before me.

[If the target’s Affection is 50 or higher and the Conqueror desires it, the target will be integrated into the Heroine Conquest System, and their status window will be revealed.]

“Wow…”

This is amazing.

“What’s so ‘wow’ about it? Just order the chicken.”

Liliana pouted and stared at the television screen.

Now was not the time to think about chicken.

My Liliana had officially become a heroine. That called for a celebration.

“Liliana~.”

Using a soft voice, I sat beside her.

How do you appease a succubus?

Obviously, with sex. In a world where succubi exist, that’s just common sense.

“What’s with you? Not eating? I’m hungry.”

“A pre-meal workout is essential. Otherwise, digestion suffers.”

“You’ve never done a pre-meal workout before…! Mmph!”

Liliana, who was pouting in annoyance, was answered with a kiss.

“Chuu… Smack. Slurp. Haah…”

Though she had been sulking just moments ago, the moment we kissed, her tongue eagerly tangled with mine, making lewd noises as she sucked on my tongue.

“Haa… Liliana, you’re the best. I kept thinking about you, and it was tough.”

“…Liar. Master, you were playing with other women.”

“But your body is the best.”

That was the truth. Liliana’s soft succubus body, built for extracting semen from men, was unparalleled.

I pushed Liliana down onto the sofa.

Pulling down her tracksuit, I continued kissing her while fondling her breasts.

“Hnnngh… Liar… I won’t believe you… Hngh.”

“I’m not lying. Look at this.”

I grabbed her hand and placed it on my hardened length through my pants.

“…I know you get hard for anyone.”

“But you’re special.”

“Trying to win me over with kisses… Mmph…”

As we moved our tongues together, we began undressing.

Soon, we were both completely naked, and I could feel the warmth and softness of her bare skin.

“Mmm… Hnn… Ngh…!”

I kissed her deeply while teasing her nipples with one hand and rubbing her clit with the other.

As expected of a perverted succubus, Liliana reacted immediately, pressing her body against mine.

“Smack. Do you like it? You’re dripping more than before—the sofa’s soaked.”

“S-Sorry…”

“I can’t let this slide.”

I slid my hand into her panties.

Her soaked pussy eagerly sucked my fingers in.

She was already more than ready.

“You were looking forward to this, weren’t you?”

“N-No…”

Liliana avoided my gaze, looking down at the floor.

I got up from the sofa and brought my cock to her face.

“Suck. I’ll educate you now.”

“Yes… Slurp…”

In the end, she always gave in to my cock. Why even put up a fight?

“Slurp… Pwah. Haaah…”

I slid my cock directly into her eager, wet pussy.

“Liliana, you’ve been acting out too much toward your master.”

“S-Sorry… Hngh. Aahhn…!”

I thrust into her, targeting her weak spots.

Her hot succubus body tightened around me, and we indulged in sex late into the night before falling asleep.

Good morning~ Ding-ding-ding Good morning~ Bap-bap-bap Bap-bap Bap-bap-bap-bap Good morning~

“What the hell is this alarm?”

I slapped my smartwatch to shut it off.

What time did I go to sleep last night? My memory was hazy.

I shook off the drowsiness with a cold glass of water and stretched.

Liliana had been thoroughly disciplined last night for daring to act up against her master.

When will she finally learn?

★ Heroine Status Window

[Liliana]

- [ Affection: 85 ] (+0.1)

- [ Lust: 74 ]

- [ Appetite: 20 ]

- [ Fatigue: 25 ]

Current Status: Zzz…

Hmmm.

As expected, her affection increased.

It seems that any woman with a high enough Affection score can be integrated into the Heroine System.

I understand that much…

‘But how many do I need to seduce?’

The most important detail was left out.

Should I seduce as many as possible?

If this were a game, it might be like unlocking extra achievements. I wasn’t sure yet, so it was best to conquer as many as possible.

After a quick face wash to clear my mind, I hopped into the shower.

Today, regular classes were resuming after a long time.

Normally, students had self-study time before exams, but due to the emergency school closure, classes were being held instead.

Today’s classes were Magic Analysis and Modern Hunter Studies.

Magic Analysis covered spell circles and reverse-engineering barriers, while Modern Hunter Studies focused on essential knowledge for hunters in the modern era, including dungeons and monster research.

Both subjects required heavy memorization and were notoriously difficult, so students would be groaning in frustration.

But since I already knew everything, I could just relax.

I put on my cadet uniform and headed out.

Checking my smartwatch, I looked at the auction listing for the first edition of [Hawk’s Tower] I had posted yesterday.

[This looks fake. The seller has a high credit rating, but no prior transactions.]

[Yeah, probably a scammer. Someone should do something about this.]

“Damn, people are suspicious even here.”

Why are people so distrusting? Not that it’s a bad thing, but it’s annoying.

I took out the first edition of [Hawk’s Tower] from my bag and snapped several photos.

I made sure to capture the publication date and author’s signature clearly before canceling the old listing and relisting it.

That should do it.

“Yo, it’s been a while.”

A familiar voice called out from beside me.

“Huh? Oh, Kim Younghan?”

“Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?”

“No, it’s just… been a long time.”

Where had this guy been all this time?

Still, it was good to see him again.

“I’ve been busy. Not that you haven’t been, though.”

“Yeah, well…”

Among the cadets, I probably had the most eventful life.

Getting dragged into incidents every day wasn’t easy.

Because of that, I’d gained quite a bit of notoriety.

As I walked around, I often heard people whispering about me.

Whether they were praising or criticizing me, I had no idea.

Chatting with Kim Younghan, we made our way toward the first-year lecture hall.

“Terrorist attacks by the Demonic Cult are increasing a lot lately. Feels like something big is coming.”

“Yeah, I get what you mean.”

The antagonists of the original story, ‘Pandemic,’ were starting to move.

After midterms, the Academy would face another terrorist attack.

Until then, I should enjoy the peace.

While chatting, we arrived at the A-Class lecture hall. Since we were just commuting buddies, we each went to join our respective friends.

Lucy and Lumi hadn’t arrived yet, as their seats were still empty.

I took my usual spot behind Lucy and Lumi’s seats.

Checking my smartwatch again, I saw that the auction price had soared to 80 million won in less than 30 minutes.

[I consulted some experts, and they said it’s unlikely to be fake. It seems legit.]

[This is the real deal?? Jang Yangsan’s fans are going to lose their minds today.]

“Oh… The response is great.”

As expected from Jang Yangsan’s book.

“Hey, Lee Hoyeon.”

“Good morning, Hoyeon.”

“Yeah, morning.”

Lucy and Lumi greeted me as usual—but they didn’t sit in their usual seats in front of me.

Instead, Lumi placed her bag down beside me.

“Huh, Lumi?”

“Yes, Hoyeon?”

“Are you sitting here?”

“Yes, I don’t really understand Magic Analysis… I wanted to learn from you.”

“Hmm. Well, okay.”

Smiling innocently, Lumi started taking out her books.

★ Heroine Status Window

[Lumi]

- [ Affection: 89 ]

- [ Lust: 51 ]

- [ Appetite: 20 ]

- [ Fatigue: 30 ]

Current Status: What will we learn in today’s class?

Wow, her thoughts are so pure.

I had assumed she had ulterior motives, but I needed to reflect on that.

Not everyone was as scheming as I was.

“…Then I’ll sit here too. I missed the last lecture, so I’m behind on the material.”

Lucy took the seat to my left.

“…”

A somewhat awkward tension seemed to settle between Lucy and Lumi.

★ Heroine Status Window

[Lucy]

- [ Affection: 88 ]

- [ Lust: 40 ]

- [ Appetite: 30 ]

- [ Fatigue: 35 ]

Current Status: Since when did those two get so close?

Both Lucy and Lumi had their Affection scores drop after not interacting with me for a few days.

It seemed that rapid Affection gains needed consistent maintenance.

But… was Lucy feeling territorial about Lumi and me getting close?

That didn’t seem like her usual personality.

Screech—

My wandering thoughts were interrupted as the Magic Analysis professor entered the lecture hall.

“Good morning. Happy Monday.”

As soon as he walked in, the professor began handing out printouts to the class.

“This is the guideline for the upcoming midterms. The test will include magic circles and barrier reversal techniques, so review it carefully.”

I skimmed through the printout and stuffed it into my bag.

I’ll look up some related research papers at home later.

*

“So, based on this, the magic circle here can be derived using Buar’s Law.”

This class was ridiculously difficult.

Even after reading dozens of research papers and books, I still encountered unfamiliar terminology. I couldn’t imagine how the other cadets felt.

“H-Hoyeon, what did he just say?”

“Buar’s Law states that any magic circle with three or more strokes will have magical acceleration. Think of it like a moving car…”

I explained to Lucy and Lumi while listening to the lecture.

At least when it came to theory, I was solid.

“Oh, wow… You’re really smart!”

“This is nothing.”

Compliments from a beautiful girl always felt good, no matter how many times I heard them.

“Alright, based on what we’ve learned so far, we’re going to do some practical exercises. Let’s see… Can I get two volunteers to assist me?”

As if planned in advance, every student lowered their head.

No one wanted to make eye contact with the professor.

I also quickly looked down at my textbook.

It wasn’t that I lacked confidence, but I didn’t want to stand out before midterms. No need to attract unnecessary attention.

I could prove my skills when it really mattered.

“No one wants to volunteer? Then… Cadet Elise, please come forward.”

This is why being a top student is tough. Instead of getting rewarded, you just get assigned more work.

It reminded me of the military—lazy guys stayed lazy, while the diligent ones got all the tasks. It was giving me PTSD.

“Next… Cadet Lee Hoyeon?”

“Huh?”

No way. I was lowering my head and taking notes so intently!

“I overheard you explaining things to your friends earlier. You have a solid understanding of the material, so I’m sure you’ll do well.”

Damn it. He noticed.

With no choice, I got up and walked to the front.

“Hey, Elise.”

“Oh, it’s you again.”

★ Heroine Status Window

[Elise]

- [ Affection: 37 ]

- [ Lust: 25 ]

- [ Appetite: 30 ]

- [ Fatigue: 40 ]

Current Status: I will definitely win in magic circle reversal.

Elise’s eyes burned with determination.

She was still hung up on losing to me in the written exams.

I thought she didn’t care, but I guess being in class reminded her.

“Both of you will draw magic circles while facing each other. The first to dismantle the opponent’s magic and successfully cast their own wins.”

We stood face-to-face.

While the professor gave further explanations, I studied Elise.

To progress with her conquest, I needed to surpass her academically.

Until then, the strategy wouldn’t work. Making her jealous was the key to getting started.

Luckily, she was already jealous of me.

Even if just a little, I had leverage.

“Elise. Wanna make a bet?”

“Huh?”

She looked at me like I was crazy.

“Let’s see who can activate their magic circle first.”

“I don’t like wasting effort on pointless things.”

Typical Elise. She hated unnecessary work.

But I was ready for this.

“You know Jang Yangsan’s novel Hawk’s Tower, right? And how there’s a signed first edition on auction right now?”

“…Of course. Every collector is after it.”

As expected, Elise was interested.

I pulled up the auction listing on my smartwatch.

“Look at this—huh?!”

“If you win, it’s yours.”

Her eyes widened in shock at seeing my name as the seller. Then, she gaped at my offer.

“…Where did you even get this?”

“Win, and I’ll tell you. So, wanna bet?”

“And if I lose, what do you want?”

“A favor.”

“…”

“Don’t look at me like I’m some pervert. It’s not for anything weird. I just need to make a request to your guild.”

The disgusted look in her eyes hurt more than I expected.

[Elise]

- [ Affection: 37 ]

- [ Lust: 25 ]

- [ Appetite: 30 ]

- [ Fatigue: 40 ]

Current Status: I don’t know what he’s thinking, but I will win in reversal magic.

Elise was a genius in magic reversal—one of the best in the world.

Meanwhile, I hadn’t shown any particular skill in this area.

“I don’t know what you’re planning, but fine. Let’s do it.”

She agreed with full confidence.

‘Got her.’
