Chapter 79. The Appearance of the School Nurse

Chapter 79. The Appearance of the School Nurse

After finishing training with Lumi, I returned home.

Ring ring-

“Ah, fuck, just kill me!”

In the dormitory that felt like home, I heard a familiar curse.

It was the sound of Liliana working hard like a money-printing machine.

I quietly took off my cadet uniform and entered the shower room.

Since she was earning money for me to spend, I shouldn’t disturb her.

After finishing my shower, I checked the book I had put up for auction.

---------------------------------

[The Tower of the Hawk, First Edition. Includes Handwritten Signature]

Minimum Price: 5 million won.

Current Bid: 230.4 million won.

[This seems legit. The owner probably needs money urgently.]

[They have a Trust Level 1 rating; would they really put up a fake? The only regret is not having enough money right now.]

[If it were me, I wouldn’t list it here but take it to an offline auction. Who knows how high the price could go? lol]

--------------------------------

“Oh, it’s over 200 million?”

As expected of Jang Yangsan’s legendary masterpiece, The Tower of the Hawk.

At a proper offline auction, it would likely go even higher.

“No, I’ll just leave it as is.”

I wasn’t in urgent need of money, so I could wait and see how things played out.

I extended the auction period for The Tower of the Hawk first edition to a month and closed the auction system.

“You’re back?”

Before I knew it, Liliana peeked out from her room to greet me.

“Yeah. You were streaming, so I came in quietly to avoid disturbing you.”

“I turned off the stream when I heard the sound of you showering.”

“Ah.”

Liliana came out of her room and stuck right next to me.

Sniff sniff.

She started sniffing me.

Even after using Cleanse and taking a shower, could a woman’s scent still linger?

Or maybe it was just a succubus trait—to be especially sensitive to lewd scents.

“Ahem. I waited for you without eating dinner. Order me a pizza.”

Liliana spoke in an emotionless tone.

Last night’s discipline session had paid off.

Even though she could smell a woman on me, she held back and stayed still. It was quite a pleasing sight.

“Alright, let’s order a pizza.”

“Get potato flavor.”

Liliana pretended to be uninterested while selecting a pizza menu on her smartwatch.

She deliberately avoided eye contact, but the way she picked a pizza, then subtly glanced at me again, was adorable.

“Come here.”

“Huh, wh-what are you doing?!”

I put my arm around Liliana’s shoulder and pulled her closer.

Her soft and warm body pressed against mine.

“Let’s lie down together until the pizza arrives.”

“W-why are you doing this…?”

With a slight commanding tone, I pulled Liliana onto the bed.

Despite her words, she didn’t resist and nestled into my embrace.

Monday, the start of a new week.

The Academy Director’s office was located on the first floor of the administrative building, where all the administrative departments were gathered.

The Director himself had insisted on being on the first floor.

The natural scenery around the administrative building was among the most beautiful in the Academy, and the view from the Director’s office was his pride.

As he began his Monday morning in a refreshing mood, Director Moon Jaecheol opened the window to feel the cool breeze.

Ring ring-

“Huh? Why is the Association President calling me now?”

The Academy and the Association—both were outwardly public institutions, but there was intense behind-the-scenes competition.

The ability to recruit promising Hunters determined how much influence one could wield.

Naturally, recruitment wars and disputes over interests were a constant occurrence.

Therefore, the leaders of these institutions were not on good terms.

This was the first time he had received an abrupt call from the Association President without any prior notice.

Curious about what urgent matter had prompted the call, the Director quickly answered.

“Yes, Association President. What’s the matter?”

- Director, isn’t this a bit too much?!

“Excuse me?”

The President’s sudden outburst left the Director momentarily speechless.

- I acknowledge that we haven’t had the best relationship. But to poach talent so blatantly—have you no professional ethics?!

“What on earth are you talking about…?”

The Director searched his memory for any recent conflicts with the Association.

Knock knock-

Just then, someone knocked on the Director’s office door.

“Association President, please hold for a moment. Secretary Jung! I’m on a call, report to me later!”

“Director, it’s a Level 1 matter. You need to check it immediately.”

A tense voice came from outside the door.

If Secretary Jung was this urgent, it had to be something serious.

“…Sigh. Fine, come in and submit a written report. Yes, Association President, but what exactly are you accusing me of?”

- Oh, so you’re just going to feign ignorance and cut ties? In that case, I won’t hold back either!

“No, I need to understand the situation first… Huh?”

The Director was at a loss for words as he looked at the documents Secretary Jung had handed him.

-------------------------

[Academy School Nurse Application Documents]

Name: Baek A-Young

Age: 28

Remarks: It’s embarrassing, but I am called a Saintess. Becoming an academy school nurse has been my dream for a long time. I have come despite the rudeness.

-------------------------

“Secretary Jung. What is this?”

“I’m not entirely sure either. She just showed up at the HR department earlier and stated her intent to work at the academy.”

“And you expect me to believe that? Does it make any sense that a Saintess would leave the Association to become a school nurse at the academy?”

The Director found it impossible to grasp the situation.

- Director! The Association will no longer stand idly by. If you want a mud fight, then so be it!

“Wait, President. I just received this report myself.”

Beep-

“That crazy old man…”

The Director was annoyed at the Association President for cutting off the call, but understanding the situation came first.

“Secretary Jung. Bring Baek A-Young here immediately.”

He wasn’t the kind of fool who would let a goldmine slip away.

Tuesday morning. Today was the joint class with upperclassmen.

I still remembered it vividly.

That short senior from the student council who provoked me.

Today was finally the day for revenge.

“What do we do in joint classes with seniors?”

“From what I know, it starts with mental training and then leads to sparring.”

“Mental training sounds boring, but sparring sounds fun. I’m curious about the seniors’ skills.”

On the way to school, Kim Younghan seemed quite excited about the joint class.

He wasn’t that weak either, but he had no real presence.

“Oh yeah, I heard we’re getting a school nurse.”

Kim Younghan, who had been chattering about class, suddenly brought it up as if he had just remembered.

“…? A school nurse?”

What kind of bullshit is that?

Victoria Academy has a medical team, but no infirmary.

Maybe the game never mentioned it, but even as a student, I had never heard of an infirmary.

Besides, the academy feels more like a university, so a school nurse is completely out of place.

“I only heard about it in passing, but they started construction yesterday.”

“Huh… That’s odd.”

Whether or not a school nurse appeared, it had nothing to do with me.

*

Or so I thought. But it had everything to do with me.

“Starting today… Saintess Baek A-Young will be joining the academy as our school nurse.”

What did you just say? Fuck?

Along with me, all the other cadets had question marks floating above their heads.

Lucy and Lumi stood beside me with their mouths agape, while Elise, seemingly already aware, didn’t look as surprised.

Even the usually expressionless Nam Daeun had a “what kind of nonsense is this” look on her face.

“I understand that many cadets are confused. I, too, was only informed of this just now, so I don’t know the full details. I ask for your understanding.”

Kim Jinhyuk briefly bowed his head before continuing.

“She wants to communicate with students as much as possible as a school nurse, so if you ever feel unwell, don’t hesitate to visit her. But if you fake an illness just to see Hunter—no, Teacher Baek A-Young, you might end up in serious trouble. This is a directive from the Director.”

The faces of the male cadets who were eager to meet her darkened.

‘…No way.’

An uneasy feeling began to settle in.

No way. This can’t be because of me, right?

“And… Cadet Lee Hoyeon.”

“Yes?”

Kim Jinhyuk said my name, and immediately, all the surrounding cadets’ attention shifted to me.

Why the hell was my name being brought up?

“You have a meeting with your homeroom professor. Follow me to the faculty office after the morning assembly. Dismissed.”

“A meeting?”

Kim Jinhyuk finished speaking and walked out of the lecture hall.

Couldn’t he at least explain before leaving?

“Guys, I have a meeting. You go ahead to class first.”

“Oh, okay!”

“I’ll wait for you!”

With a bit of unease, I followed Professor Kim Jinhyuk.

*

We arrived at the homeroom professor’s office.

He was always a quiet and reserved man with no real hobbies. That impression hadn’t changed.

His office had no sign of personal life—only work-related items filled the space.

“Here, have some coffee.”

“Thank you.”

Slurp.

I took a sip of coffee and waited for Kim Jinhyuk to speak.

“Uh, hmm. How’s life at the academy?”

“It’s fun and fulfilling.”

“That’s good…”

Sip.

We stared at each other in awkward silence.

“Are you preparing well for the exams?”

“Yes. This is my chance to prove myself.”

“That’s a good mindset. Confidence leads to success.”

“Thank you.”

Sip.

After asking a few mundane questions, Kim Jinhyuk clicked his tongue and scratched his head.

“Sorry. I’m not great at this kind of thing, so I’ll just get to the point.”

“Please do.”

That would be better. I already have Kim Younghan for casual conversation.

“The Director wants to speak with you. You’re allowed to arrive late to morning classes, so don’t worry about that.”

“…The Director?”

“Yes… I wasn’t given all the details, just a partial briefing…”

Kim Jinhyuk looked troubled as he downed his coffee in one gulp.

Clank.

Setting down the empty cup, he looked me in the eyes.

“You’re not doing anything weird outside the academy, are you?”
