Book 6: Chapter 5 (5)

Academic City (3rd)

What are you doing!? T-This has nothing to do with them!

Be quiet! Who are you to be giving orders to me!?

Why are you doing this to us, Peacock-san!? You saved us in the ruins the last time we met! Your magic was so amazing, so why are you doing this to us now!?

Pi-chans voice was filled with rage while each word that left the bullys mouth was coated in fear.

Ah, thats right. I dont know what I was thinking back then. I shouldve killed you all right then and there.

Eh, why would you.

A sudden confession from Pi-chan allowed me to paint a clearer picture of what was going on.

Isnt it obvious!? I couldve taken care of this problem back then, but I never expected that Id lose control over the chimera body! This was my chance to gain the approval of the Center for my research! I only managed to begin my first experiment when Professor Journal left the city!

Chimera body? I know Ive heard that recently.

The remnants of the former demon king. Its almost sentient and can absorb the bodies of creatures it comes into contact with, multiplying itself as it does so. It possesses a truly frightening life force. My method was perfect. The research I conducted could lead to new innovations that would change the world. I wouldve earned a position as professor in the center. It was perfect and yet, that damn creature broke loose. How did it happen?

.

I accounted for every variable! Nothing like that shouldve been possible!

The tentacled slug escaped from the ruins that I previously found in the outskirts of the city.

He also confirmed my suspicions that Pi-chan was the one running that place. We ran into each other in the ruins and he used the excuse that he was sent there to investigate after receiving reports about the place. That must have been a lie to explain why he was there.

Now that I think about it, Goggoru-chan was obviously alerted by something when Pi-chan appeared. A Goggoru alert was issued and I didnt consider what it might mean. She read his real reason for being there and I didnt notice until now. Its finally making sense to me, chocololi.

I see.

You see what? And why are you nodding your head like that?

I finally got it.

Hn?

I think I can understand what Pi-chan was trying to do here.

A massive creature like the tentacled slug would leave a path of destruction that would lead straight to its origin. An attack by such a creature would warrant an investigation no matter when it happened, but the presence of representatives from several countries would guarantee that it would begin immediately and they wouldnt stop until the source was found.

Prior to all of this, I happened to stumble upon the source of the Demon King chimera.

Pi-chan must have intended on killing me and anyone else that knew he was in that facility. His flimsy excuse wouldnt hold up for long. The strange liquid he added to my food was most likely a poison and not a certain other white sauce. Ive never been so relieved. I can already feel my appetite coming back.

Peacock-san, why would you study that thing?

Shut up! Shut your filthy mouth!

.

Pi-chan roared without holding anything back.

Im not strong enough! I need to get stronger and stronger!

Youre one of the strongest students in the city, Peacock-san!

Thats not enough!

Peacock-san stared daggers at the JC as he repeated himself.

If that were true, I wouldnt feel this way! Those with true strength are nothing like me! I always feel so weak, tiny; like a piece of trash desperately scraping and clawing in the hopes of finding some semblance of self-worth! That is not who I am! Its not who I was meant to be!

Peacock-san?

Pi-chan rants slowly devolved into a rant about what he perceived to be his own shortcomings.

This left everyone confused.

What could a child like you born into a life of nobility know about my struggles!? What a joke! It would be funny if the sheer insolence youre showing didnt make my blood boil! What could you possibly understand about the pain and suffering Ive been through to get to where I am!?

I-I wasnt trying to say.

Pi-chan was slowly working himself up into a frenzy.

The feminine side of him was starting to grow more prominent.

This is my chance and I have to take it! I have no other choice! If I fail now, there will be no place left for me here! The only option left to me is to gain more power.

.

Pi-chan mentioned the JCs position and upbringing, but the JCs family was wiped out. I wonder if Pi-chan knows about that and if he does, would that affect his opinion of her. I also love that the JC openly lives as a NEET while attending the academy.

Ill even go as far as sucking the Professors penis if it gets me closer to my goal!

eh?

And now were getting a sudden blowjob confession.

If the JC knows nothing of Pi-chan and the Professors exploits, shell be left completely dumbfounded.

The JC and the bullies were left in shock while Pi-chans emotions continued to overflow.

Who would want to suck another mans penis!? But, what other options did I have? I did what I had to in order to not only survive but thrive! Ill eventually reach the top! Ill stand above everyone else at this school!

.

The JC was left speechless.

Professor Bus is gay and I thought the two of them were a couple, or, at the very least, Pi-chan was a mistress. But, it turns out he was just opening his mouth to Professor Bus in order to get ahead. Hes nothing more than a male slut.

I-If you hate it so much, just stop sucking on it!

Despite the absurd situation, the JC was still trying to offer Pi-chan sensible advice. It was surprisingly nice of her given the situation. It made me wonder if she had experienced a similar situation before which made me question the integrity of her hymen.

I have to suck it to reach my goal! (what is happening)

Id never suck someones penis to achieve my dream! Id never do it with someone I dont like! Youre only supposed to do stuff like that with someone you like, right? So, why would you suck the penis of someone you dont like!?

Be quiet! Shut up! Shut the hell up! Weak people like me have no choice but to suck!

The conversation has taken an absurd turn.

This has nothing to do with your status, only your weak will! Youre the one that decides to suck it!

.

The JCs righteously moral argument was like a knife to Pi-chans heart.

His face tensed up and it looked like he wanted to say, Eh, you can do that?

W-What do you have to say, Peacock-san!?

I think the JC was able to empathize with the weak will she quickly identified in Pi-chan.

Pi-chans face became further contorted with anger and he was now barely recognizable.

The JCs constant pressuring forced Pi-chan into a corner where the only argument he was left with was sucking cock. He never had much chance of winning once he decided to suck the penis of another man; especially when its one that he doesnt like.

Cracks were already forming on his mind and this last push was enough to shatter it.

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhh, no, no, no! Im going to kill you all!

Pi-chan was pushed over the edge.

The tip of his wand pressed into the bespectacled bullys neck.

Pi-chan was already near his limit. He believed his decision to suck the Professors penis was his only option and he thought it would lead to him achieving his dream. It was the last hope he had and it was the only thing holding him together, but that hope was now crumbling right before our eyes.

Who could have guessed that only one of them was getting something from all of the blowjobs?

They still have nothing to do with this! L-Let them go!

Dont take another step! I have nothing left, this is the end for me! Im ruined! Ill be kicked out of the academy when this comes to light! No, theyll kill me for what Ive done! If Im going to die, Ill at least take a few of you with me! Oh, even better, Ill make you suck my dick before I kill you!

Wha.

Now hes planning on forcing the JC to give him a blowjob.

The JC tensed up, took a step closer to Pi-chan, and looked ready to cast another spell.

He was quick to bark out another order at her.

I thought I told you not to move!?! Ill kill them if you take another step!

.

The JC immediately stopped.

She stopped trying to activate her magic.

This was unlike the JC I had come to know. The people Pi-chan are threatening are people that have bullied her everyday since I arrived in this city, and just the other day, the JC abandoned Edita Sensei when it was convenient for her. Shes clearly changed in just the few days Ive known her.

The love she felt for the Kimoronge must be the cause.

Damn it, ikemen are truly amazing. They can inspire change in people purely by existing.

Im going to savour every moment of this! Youll suffer before I kill you!

Pi-chan raised his arm towards the JC before flicking his wrist.

The JCs weight suddenly shifted to one side before she collapsed to the ground.

He used magic to attack her.

A single flick of his wrist and the JCs right foot was severed from her body.

Ugyaaauuuuu..

Oi, oi, why didnt you think to put up a barrier?

u-uuh.

The JC held back her cries and tried to endure the pain she was clearly in.

Pi-chan cast an uninterested glance down at the fallen JC.

Hmm, would someone thats merely a friend go to these lengths to save one man?

T-This is about more thanjust that guy.

Hmph, how boring.

Blood was squirting out of the stump where her foot used to be.

The blood was pooling beneath her and slowly flowing down the corridor.

Are these friends of yours really that important? Aah, I guess nobles are rich in more ways than one. I envy all of you. Ive never had any true friends. The only relationship I have is one where Im used and abused.

A deranged smile spread across Pi-chans face as he stared down at the JC writhing in pain. The ikemen pretty boy I once knew had completely disappeared and a crazed lunatic was left in his place.

Tchi-its not like I care about them! I actually hate them!

The JC desperately screamed from her place on the ground.

Seeing the JC in such a pitiful state allowed Pi-chan to regain some of his composure.

So, are we finished comparing no chants? I think youve learned your place.

I can keep going!

Hmph, no matter how confident you act, its hard for me to feel threatened when youre bleeding like a stuck pig.

The bullies remained in shock up until this point. This was understandable considering they were being held hostage by someone they barely knew and were now being protected by a girl they tormented nonstop everyday since I arrived.

O-Oi, why is Peacock-san attacking the Aufschnaiter!? And is that Aufschnaiter protecting us? Thats not possible, right!? After all weve done.

With Pi-chan still holding his wand to their throats, they were forced to stand and watch while they shook uncontrollably from the fear. Everyone involved is a student, but the one holding them hostage was a student specially selected to be vice-president of the academy. The fear they felt was justified.

What should be next? Maybe an arm? Or maybe your stomach?

S-Shut up!  Just do whatever you want to me!

Her face was contorted by pain, but she still managed to conjure up a powerful, commanding voice.

The scared girl I saw yesterday being restrained by the tentacles was gone. The JC only offered up a defiant stare for Pi-chan despite the tears slowly forming in her eyes. The way she put on a brave face as she fought for her classmates made me think of a heroine from a story.

She can no longer call herself a NEET.

Compared to everything Ive been through, ah, this much.this much is nothing!

Whats that? I couldnt quite hear you from all the way down there. Maybe you could try crawling over here so I could hear you better. That is, of course, as long as youre not in too much pain. Hmm?

Shut up! T-This is nothing! It doesnt hurt at all!

Damn you.

The JC pushed herself to her knees and remained defiant in the face of her attacker.

This really got under Pi-chans skin.

Another wrinkle formed in his brow as he raised his voice once more.

Youve never once been forced to suck a penis and yet you have everything! Just die already!

Pi-chan raised his arm again.

It reached the point where I could no longer stand on the sidelines. Pi-chans continuing to get worked up and I dont think the JC will survive the next attack. Despite this, she was still defiantly staring up at Pi-chan as she awaited whatever may come. This was a rare opportunity to see the brave side of the JC but I couldnt let it go on.

Im sure even the bullies are cheering for her.

This is the end!

A wave of force rushed towards the JC.

Now is the time.

As Pi-chan raised his arm, I rushed out from where I was hiding and flew toward the pair using my flight magic. It only took a few seconds for me to reach them. I quickly placed myself in between the pair and landed on my knees with my arms crossed in front of my chest. A stereotypically cool defensive pose.

Wha.

The wave of force smashed into my left arm and shattered it.

The JC was unharmed behind me

Alright, shes safe.

I was hoping that after all of the experience Ive gained that I might be able to take an attack head on without any form of protection. Previously, I witnessed the Red Dragon take attacks from both Ester-chan and Sophie-chan back on Mount Pepe.

This attack was meant to kill the JC and it only broke my arm, so it looks like my theory was spot on.

O-Ossan.

Good job, Aufschnaiter-san.

The JC fought her hardest and she looked cool while doing it.

Im sorry for letting you get hurt.

Ill take it from here.

Let the ossan busamen handle the rest.
