Became an Academy Self-Inflicted Blackmailer chapter 143

143 – Dragon’s Heart (2)

Dragon Man.

When I interpreted the meaning of the word, it seemed like I could roughly understand what it meant.

Still, it is important to know whether that acceptance could be a defect to me, or whether it is a simple change in shape without any problem.

I nod my head blindly, but if something goes wrong, I will be the one who sees the blood anyway.

‘Hmm.’

So I didn’t imitate a hot-blooded young man by answering something like ‘I’m prepared!’ Without thinking.

Instead, I just looked at Tsumei quietly, and Tsumei seemed to have read my meaning just by that, and immediately let out a small exclamation of ‘Ah’.

“I guess you don’t know what Yongin is. Well, it’s not a widely known story…….”

Tsumei muttered while gently rubbing his chin, and after a moment of agony, he raised three fingers.

Index, middle, and ring fingers.

“If I had to summarize the biggest characteristics of Yongin, there would be three.”

Soon Tsumei said that to me.

Three characteristics.

I nodded his head once to indicate that I would listen, and Tsumei spoke again.

“Actually, it would be a bit of a complicated change to explain it all here. Still, if these three characteristics are the only ones that don’t matter, it’s probably okay. Well, first things first.”

The first thing to fold was her ring finger.

Tsumei’s eyes became quite thin.

“Dragon people refer to those who use the power of a dragon with a human body. It wouldn’t be that difficult to guess this. In general, there are many of them who have had dragon bodies transplanted into their bodies. “Regardless of whether you received help from the dragon or took something from the dragon.”

The first thing to be explained, albeit briefly, could be said to be the definition of existence.

As if he didn’t want to talk too long, Tsumei immediately got to the point.

“And what is the first change that appears in such dragons?”

“… ….”

“It may be a little strange, though.”

Tsumei seems uncharacteristically hesitant to speak. The more she hesitated, the wider her sense of tension and the scope of her imagination expanded.

Changes that occur when you become Yongin.

How strange and frightening is this change that none other than Tsumei is so hesitant to announce?

I started to feel a little scared, but I was still determined.

In any case, in a situation where it may become difficult to borrow Flügel’s power, isn’t this almost the only way to make up for her absence?

It’s okay, at least as long as you don’t have to give up being human like in some science fiction movie. It’ll probably be okay.

‘…… Okay, well, that’s probably not the case anyway. ‘It shouldn’t be.’

I made my decision clear and waited for Tsumei’s next words.

“For humans who have drawn the power of dragons…….”

And at that very moment, Tsumei fluttered her eyelashes as if she was embarrassed and spoke out.

Change that appears in Yongin, or ‘something’ that may be evolution.

Even if you are prepared, fear does not go away easily. To put it bluntly, I might be a little scared.

But still, I deliberately looked Tsumei in the eye until the end.

I waited anxiously.

And soon after.

Tsumei whispered to me in her low voice, as if she was talking about something very secret.

“…… “Horns will sprout.”

“… ….”

With an attitude and tone of voice, he was very worried about my reaction to the changes that were said to occur in Yongin.

Like that.

“…… ?”

In other words, that was the end.

Tsumei’s words did not continue.

After a brief pause, I looked straight into Tsumei’s eyes again, waiting steadily to see if there was any other hidden meaning.

Tsumei just kept her mouth shut.

As if he thought I might react strongly with just that one word.

I tightly closed my slightly opened lips again.

I don’t know, but my eyes as I looked at Tsumei at that time were probably filled with a feeling of great surprise.

I somehow managed to calm down my absurd mood and soon stopped speaking.

“Dean?”

“…… Huh?”

And Tsumei also raises her head and looks at me. With a very innocent expression, she silently asked why.

I wondered what I should say, then frowned for a moment and then conveyed the question I felt.

“Is that all? “It ends with horns growing?”

“Hmm, huh?”

I asked as if I really didn’t know what the problem was, and only then did Tsumei properly look up at me.

She soon rolled her eyes as she got a different reaction from what she expected.

“…… “Well, there’s one more thing besides that.”

Then, Tsumei seemed to have remembered something else, and, awkwardly, tried to add her own words to make up for it.

From noble mtl dot com

“Wings are growing too…… !”

“… ….”

At that point, I decided to just admire it silently.

I thought, ‘That’s really amazing.’

“…… Isn’t this it?”

It seemed like Tsumei really hadn’t expected my bored, even dull, response.

Her reaction seemed like something was missing, and she scratched the back of her neck.

“No, don’t you hate it because it gives you horns and wings? The thought of feeling rejected or hating things like that because they are ugly…… ?”

And with that being said, I was actually wondering why he thought I would react that way.

…… Well, I didn’t expect it to grow horns and wings.

As Tsumei said, it was not repulsive, and it was even more absurd to think that it was ugly. Isn’t that right?

I laughed and said my thoughts straight away.

“The dean in front of me right now also has horns and wings. “If you thought something like that was ugly, the dean would have thought that way a long time ago, right?”

“…… Nana?”

At my words, Tsumei pointed to herself with a surprised expression. Then, as if she had come to think of it, she gently touched the cute horns growing on her head with her hands.

I smiled and continued speaking again.

“Yes, the dean’s most attractive point is his horns.”

“?!”

“It’s cute.”

“?!!”

Also, Tsumei’s expression began to change in an instant at the two words that were spoken as if it was nothing.

She was startled, then she covered her horns when she heard me, and then lowered her hands now that her face was lit up.

Soon, she cleared her throat a couple of times and glanced at me.

“…… Is that really true? Is it kinda cute? This horn.”

And when he asked me carefully, I couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter. I say ‘push’ a little bit openly. No, a little too openly?

Because of this, Tsumei’s expression quickly became covered with shame.

I laughed too openly.

“Of course it’s cute. “Our dean is the absolute best, literally the most beautiful girl in the academy!”

“…… Shut up!”

Belatedly, I offered compliments for entertainment, but it was no use. Tsumei screamed and turned her head.

But it’s not a lie to say that it’s cute.

‘…… Well, first of all, he looks cute. ‘It’s not wrong.’

I observed Tsumei tirelessly with these thoughts in mind.

Beautiful blonde hair tied into pigtails, small face, and eyes filled with shame.

‘Hmm.’

There is nothing to say.

It was cute as expected.

…… What’s inside is a dragon teacher who is now thousands of years old. It was true that there was absolutely no flaw in his appearance.

In any case, he didn’t reveal his true feelings openly, but just smiled meaningfully.

But if you laugh too much, Tsumei may suddenly change.

I cleared my throat and quickly returned to the main topic.

“So, what are the second and third? Looking at those two things, I don’t think they’ll be that big of a deal, so just tell me quickly. “The kids are waiting outside.”

“… ….”

Tsumei glared at me with a vicious look for a moment, but she still nodded her head as if she understood.

The index and middle fingers are lifted again.

Soon the middle finger folded.

“…… The second feature is, yeah. “First of all, I said the first characteristic because I thought it wasn’t something I would take lightly, but I definitely added it half-jokingly.”

“Oh, as expected.”

I gave a small exclamation and shook my head at her as my guess was correct. As expected, it seemed to be an inconsequential feature.

How trivial is the second characteristic?

I waited for Tsumei’s words with some anticipation(?).

“Once it becomes Yongin, for now.”

And Tsumei’s story that quickly followed, to put it without exaggeration, did not betray my expectations at all.

“You will eat a lot of meat.”

“Fuha!”

I burst out laughing without hesitating even for a second. This is because it was not an unreasonable thing, but a truly worthy and literally ‘cool’ characteristic.

In some ways, it’s quite comical.

“…… Yeah, I thought you’d laugh.”

Tsumei immediately said that to me, who was holding my stomach and whimpering. He added in a self-mocking voice, ‘It was originally a feature meant to make people laugh, but….’, He said.

I felt bad for continuing to laugh, so I decided to stop laughing right away.

‘…… ‘You will be eating a lot of meat.’

Instead, I listened to Tsumei’s words a little more seriously.

When you think about it normally, it’s a feature that doesn’t cause any problems.

But if it were true that I would just end up eating a lot of meat, Tsumei wouldn’t have brought it up in the first place.

As expected, doesn’t this mean that they eat a lot of meat, which is ridiculously several times the amount consumed by adult men?

Of course, even if that happens, it won’t cause any serious problems.

I looked at Tsumei and smiled heartily as a slightly funny thought occurred to me instead.

“The student cafeteria must also be a huge burden. Why do you need to re-establish your budget?”

Of course, whether I said so or not, Tsumei just snorted as if it really had nothing to do with this part.

And she says.

“Don’t underestimate the dragon’s wealth, kid.”

“…… Oh.”

Just one word. But it was such an impactful statement.

Even if it was limited to money, that confident attitude is quite admirable.

So I immediately lowered her posture and bowed to her.

“Will we be a little closer from now on? “I don’t think it’s a bad thing for our relationship to become closer than it is now.”

“Ah, it’s good to be friends. So, Dante, will you be nice to me?”

Tsumei also chuckled, but she seemed to accept my joke.

In a very friendly atmosphere, Tsumei folded her last finger.

Index finger.

“Actually, this is the most important thing.”

And the moment I was about to say that, Tsumei’s voice became so serious that I couldn’t joke around anymore.

I listened to Tsumei, weighed down by her intimidation.

Her eyes began to look at me, precisely where I thought my second heart was.

Cooking, Tsumei’s finger stabs my chest.

“That is the heart of Bahamut. Know?”

“…… Yes.”

I responded immediately, and soon Tsumei raised her mana.

Her fingers touching my bare skin slowly turn dark red.

“That’s right. That means you have the heart of one of only four mythical dragons. “It’s unprecedented, a human being transplanted with the body of an evil dragon.”

“… ….”

“It’s not even a body part that is widely available, especially if it’s a dragon heart, which is said to be more precious to the dragon than its own life.”

Strangely, I feel like every word raises my tension.

And this time, I too could not dismiss the third characteristic as nothing special.

Her eyes suddenly began to open in the form of dragon eyes.

It’s been a while since I saw you, eyes with long, straight lines.

Soon Tsumei spoke.

The third characteristic of Yongin.

“You may be consumed by the evil dragon’s remains. Dante.”

Dark red mana moves.

Touch the heart of the dragon.

“Yongin is like that. Since most of its power comes from the dragon’s body, it cannot help but be influenced by its original owner. Among the humans who became dragons, I saw many who became the dragon’s puppets and played with them until they died.”

And I soon realized.

Excited.

Excited.

Her mana is trying to awaken the heart of none other than the evil dragon at this moment.

Soon Tsumei asked me.

“Are you still planning on doing it?”

Still, will it be acceptable?

“…… If you are willing to accept the fate of a dragon, then of course I will do my best to prevent you from being swept away by Bahamut. You shouldn’t think that will absolutely guarantee your safety. “Because I’m not the one who has to endure it.”

It didn’t look very fitting, but it was something I had seen occasionally. That feeling of anxiety hovering over Tsumei’s expression.

This probably means that it is that dangerous.

Yes, the owner of this heart is not an ordinary dragon.

Evil Dragon Bahamut.

Even though he was a fool who went wild after being caught up in the plot of the Dragon Emperor whom he trusted and followed deeply, he was one of the four who could be said to be the pinnacle of the Dragon Clan.

Then here is the problem.

How powerful is the power of such an evil dragon’s heart, and the remnants of Bahamut contained within such an evil dragon’s heart?

Perhaps the spirit of a mere human being can be easily destroyed.

The answer was almost certain.

It will definitely not be easy to hold on.

‘…… But, whatever.’

It is certainly true.

I was surprisingly calm.

No, should I say that I was able to be calm?

If you were to ask about my unfounded confidence, there was nothing I could say to refute it.

‘Still, I have experience.’

Another being inside me that tried to devour me.

Actually, this won’t be the first evil dragon.

So it’s okay. I’m not sure, but I think it’s probably okay.

If you think it won’t work, think about it then.

I just made a decision and conveyed it to Tsumei as is.

“Thank you, Dean.”

Just smiling normally. Cheer up.

He bowed his head towards Tsu Mei.

“…… Hmm.”

And Tsumei immediately responded in a calmer manner than expected.

He winked as if he understood.

“Well, I thought so.”

Then he says so.

I was vaguely aware of it.

So, the very next moment.

Whaaa!!

“…… !”

She started pouring mana into me without any hesitation.

I had no choice but to grit my teeth and swallow.

Pain with a different texture than burning pain.

Mana rushes directly into her heart.

Excited, excited.

And that kind of mana immediately moves my heart.

A second heart, not the original heart.

If you ask me, it’s not my heart, but the dragon’s heart.

Excited, excited.

…… Excited.

My son-in-law became quiet for an instant, and I listened to the sound of his heart in the deep silence.

Offbeat.

At this moment, I realized.

The evil dragon’s heart was definitely inside my body, but it had never been beating.

Bahamut’s Dragon Heart, which was barely able to move at the moment, soon began to become more active in response to the mana of its kin.

I continued gritting my teeth. Suddenly I realized that blood was leaking out.

The heart is moving. My vision is blurry. My ears are ringing. My whole body was about to become as hot as lava.

Jeojeok.

And.

Blah, blah.

Soon the heart will wake up.

Blah blah blah…… !

At that moment, my eyes widened.

‘Huh?!’

A truly enormous wave of energy of an unexpected amount was threatening to wash over me.

A level of magical power so violent that you can only stare with your mouth open.

…… A black dragon sits in the middle of those waves.

It was my first time seeing it, but it wasn’t difficult to recognize it.

That being was none other than Bahamut.

[Off… ….]

Just then, Bahamut suddenly groaned.

A scream full of pain scratches the space like that.

What is it, what kind of reaction is it?

‘…… ‘Something strange.’

It was a time when I was not even given time to find an answer to such a question.

[──!]

With a roar that shakes your eardrums for a moment-.

The evil dragon raised its huge body.

‘Oops.’

My body stiffened against my will, but in the end, it had dangerous consequences. Even though it was frozen, I had to force it to move.

The floor flipped over, and the air exploded.

Kwahahahahahhhhh !!!

A truly enormous noise penetrated my ears and shook my brain.

It may not be real, but the moment I vomit blood.

‘…… Ah.’

Bahamut was already in front of me.

He tries to grab me with his ferocious grip.

I couldn’t move or react.

And I noticed it too late.

‘f*ck.’

It seems a bit too late, but it seems like my unfounded confidence was right.

Woah!

The evil dragon’s hand reached in front of me and eventually swung at me. As I said, I couldn’t react, so it made no sense to avoid or block it.

‘What is this, what should I do?’

That’s why.

Pushing away the dragon’s grasp was not something I did.

Qu-r-r-r-rung!!

A truly incredible roar.

It was so huge that I thought it was a feeble noise that couldn’t even be compared to what it is now.

Beyond my eardrums and brain shaking, I couldn’t stop my body itself from shaking.

But because my eyes were fine.

“…… What.”

From noble mtl dot com

When I saw that scene, I was briefly but clearly shocked.

It was a sight that was not easy to understand.

White thunderbolt.

Thunderstorm.

What struck Bahamut’s body was none other than my supernormal ability.

[──The order is wrong.]

It was at that moment that I heard a voice.

A third party, not me or Satan.

I lifted my head in shock, and the evil dragon, who was holding his head as if he was dizzy, was no exception.

We looked at the sky at the same time.

Standing there, I just looked at the boy with an extremely mischievous expression.

[Isn’t it common sense to say hello to the tenant who comes in first? Lizard.]

“…… Uh.”

That was a guy I knew.

Silver hair, and blue eyes.

A boy who appears to be about two years younger than I am now.

I called him with a very absurd expression.

“Dante?”

No, why are you here?
