The Broken Possessors of the Infinite Regression Academy - Chapter 283



Chapter 283 – Side Story: Final Exams One Step Ahead

More time passed. At first, people who had been reluctant to accept that the ceasefire negotiations with the Demon Tribe had taken place began to slowly accept that the war was over.

It was taken for granted that soldiers were not deployed on the border with the Demon Realm, which was once the front line, and thanks to this, many soldiers were able to return to the arms of their families.

“My subordinates really like it. I guess they like the idea of ​​sucking humans.”

At a time when demons were considered a greater threat than the demon race, people began to gradually accept the influx of succubi into human society. This was a result of Nika’s initiative and a bit of curiosity.

At first, the human males were only volunteers, but as word of the pleasures of absorption spread, the village grew in size.

For the succubus, it was a chance to absorb an infinite amount of energy without much threat, and for humans, it was a chance to experience a special pleasure that could never be experienced in human relationships. A kind of symbiotic relationship was formed.

Despite the initial voices of concern, the number of residents in the succubus village gradually increased. After only two months, the village had grown to a size that could no longer be called a village.

“Well, among them, there was one person who asked the absurd question of whether it was possible to have s*x with the Succubus Queen.”

Excessive confidence is poisonous no matter where you go. Among them, there was a person who said that even Nika, who was completely in love with a succubus, could sleep with her since she was a succubus before she became a demon lord.

If it were a normal succubus, I would have just laughed it off. Unfortunately, the succubi under Nika thought too well of me to laugh it off.

It was I who shared my energy when I was being chased by Durahan and was extremely low on energy. It was I who made Nika the Demon King and made it so she would not have to worry about energy, and it was I who raised the status of the succubus race to this level.

Moreover, since Nika had absorbed my energy little by little during the war to conquer the Demon World, I couldn’t just ignore the person who said such things.

The succubi rushed to the Queen and told her about it straight away, and the Queen would not let the human who said such things go unchecked.

“Don’t worry, my subordinates took care of it.”

“You know?”

“Yes. After racking their brains to figure out what kind of playstyle they hated the most, they slowly drained their vitality and killed them over the course of a week. From what I heard, the first victim hated the playstyle of being followed by male hairy monsters the most.”

“… … Okay. You don’t have to imagine it.”

It was a horrible experience to be stabbed by a hairy monster and slowly have your vital energy sucked out of you before you died. It was an end I didn’t even want to imagine.

It is said that after three people were killed for insulting the Demon King in this way and a warning was posted not to do such things in public, such talk has recently disappeared.

“There were some who took issue with it. It didn’t last long. Most of them were completely obsessed with the succubus and would always shout that it was their fault.”

It was said that even though the number of residents was approaching ten thousand, the town had become one where even the common theft rarely occurred, and it was a bit scary because it seemed like the relationship between the two was gradually changing from a symbiotic relationship to a slave relationship.

“Don’t worry, that won’t happen.”

Nika made a bold statement, but the future is uncertain. All we can do is hope that it will turn out as she said.

“Mira. How did our final exam go? Did you hear anything?”

Leona asked me a question right away. I had heard a while ago that the two of us would be taking the final exams separately, but it was only a day before the scheduled date that there had been no news, so I was curious.

“I went and asked anyway, and they just told me to wait because they’d let me know soon.”

Actually, I had a chance to hear it. I gave up because they said they would tell me in advance if I played the breastfeeding daughter. I didn’t want to lose my dignity as a fully grown man to a curiosity that would disappear soon.

“There’s only one day left. How much longer do I have to wait?”

Leona tilted her head. I felt the same way.

And then, less than three hours later, we learned what he meant when he said to expect an update soon.

“… … Do I really have to do this?”

-Didn’t I tell you? This is the final exam the kids have to take.

“That’s true, but… … .”

I held the Dragon Sword in one hand and stared blankly at Leona, who was standing next to me with her holy sword drawn.

There was a dragon in front of us.

It felt like there was not even a single exaggeration in the words that he was as gigantic as Mt. Tai, his body blocking the sun created a huge shadow even in broad daylight, and he was a being that made the earth shake just by standing on his two feet.

The dragon’s name is Meligor, the dark dragon. It was the original form of Erestica, the head of Bellium Academy.

Leona and I stared at the sight, speechless. The dragon before our eyes was the final exam. Fighting and winning.

“… … Shouldn’t there at least be an eye to see?”

-If you’re interested, you’ve already received what you deserve. Look back on everything you’ve done so far. Even if you add one more thing, it wouldn’t make a difference, right, kid?

Erestica’s thoughts began to go over my actions one by one.

The professors at Bellium Academy openly admit that they have nothing to teach, they receive special privileges and skip exams, the Sword Master personally vouch for my skills, the humans in the Magic Association are impatient because they can’t follow my orders, the Magic Tower Lords are also whining, they borrow the imperial capital to throw a birthday party, the Emperor and Sword Master come to celebrate my birthday in person, and I have an unusual relationship with the Crown Princess, the Princess, the Saint, and the Hero.

The idea continued for a long time after that. They were achievements that even an ordinary person would be considered great if they achieved just one. All of them were focused on one person.

As Erestica said, it didn’t seem like it would really make a difference if one more was added here.

“I think what the chairman said is right.”

Leona, who was listening to the thoughts from the side, nodded her head. It was such a correct argument that she had nothing to say.

– Wouldn’t it be better to do something like this to give us a reason?

“What is your justification?”

-An excuse to treat the child more specially.

Erestica spread her wings wide as if seeing is believing. As her enormous wings spread, a shadow of the same size covered the ground. Darkness fell on the bright day.

I felt gazes poking me from all sides. I was talking about gazes looking at the huge issue of interest, the confrontation between dragons and humans.

It was a duel to give an excuse, so of course there were people watching, but even taking that into account, there was an especially large amount of attention focused on it.

-Shall we begin then, child?

A giant dragon soared into the sky. Its wings flapped powerfully, creating a tremendous amount of wind pressure and dust that could be called a sandstorm. The color of the sand mixed with the sunlight.

“What are you going to do, Mira?”

Leona whispered while lighting up the surroundings with her holy sword. Judging by the fact that her divine power was barely perceptible, she seemed to still be hesitating.

“You shouldn’t fight carelessly. You have to fight with determination and win properly.”

“… … Are you really determined? But shouldn’t you control your strength a little?”

“Don’t worry, I’m not trying to go that far. I’m just trying to make sure it doesn’t feel like I’m being sloppy.”

Leona, who had intuited how I dealt with Mahbat, turned pale for a moment. She seemed relieved only after I denied it.

I wondered if there was a way to give Erestica a justification while keeping her from getting hurt as much as possible. After thinking about it for a while, a good idea came to mind and I whispered to her side.

“Can you buy me some time? I’ll just have to wait a moment.”

“… … What are you going to do?”

“You need a reason to treat us special, so we’ll give you that.”

He breathed mana into the Dragon Sword. The blade, made of dragon fangs, was covered in blue light.

“Okay, I’ll give it a try.”

As Leona said this, she wrapped her holy sword in divine power. The golden blade shone brilliantly. Erestica also began to gather energy upon seeing this.

The scales around his neck glowed darkly, and black light slowly leaked out between the scales. The spot where the light leaked out gradually rose higher and higher. A blazing haze rose between his teeth.

-Kooo!!!!!!

The mouth opened wide, and a black breath was spewed out from within. The very concept of a dragon was spewed out towards Leona.

Leona, who had returned to being a warrior, flashed her eyes. The holy sword exploded and released divine power, and a curtain of light enveloped the two of us, blocking the breath. The surrounding terrain melted away in real time.

“I think it would be appreciated if you could hurry up a little… … Mira… … !”

Leona, who was trying to block it, also looked very burdened. Her elbows were slightly bent inward, and her arms were shaking.

This was enough. I had already started the preparation process. I took a stance in the midst of the torrent of destruction heading my way, and exhaled my last human breath.

My body started to fill up with mana instead of oxygen.

My arms and skin turned pale, and mana flowed through my veins. My eyes turned blue, and the whole world turned blue. Everything in the world began to be seen as being divided into mana and non-mana.

“There! Look at that! That is the essence of magicu …

“Shut up, Noktopju! If you do that, you’ll end up bothering Mira-sama, what are you going to do about it?”

Through the ‘magic’, the magicians could be heard chattering wildly. The few who were barely conscious were banging their heads and telling them to shut up, but it didn’t matter whether they chattered or not.

I looked around. The mana where the breath had touched was rapidly dissipating. Through that melting mana, I forcibly understood the breath.

I aligned the tip of the Dragon Sword with Erestica’s mouth. Not only the blade, but the entire sword was dyed blue. Mana breathing and magic swordsmanship. It was the combination I used the most in the past.

I aligned the tip of my sword with the trajectory of the mana that spread out in all directions, and swung my sword along that trajectory. The world split into tens of thousands of pieces.

In response, the breath split into thin threads and spread out in all directions. Mana mixed between the split breaths. Like the Milky Way floating in the black night sky, blue mana wove between the black breaths.

-Kwaaah!!!!!!

A star blooming between the Milky Way exploded.

-… … .

Erestica also seemed to have not expected that Breath would be destroyed in this manner, and she forgot to make a follow-up attack and just sent out thoughts filled with panicked emotions.

But the final exam wasn’t over yet. He aimed the Dragon Sword that had been swinging but stopped. Erestica seemed to have come to her senses and tried to fly up into the sky again, but it was already too late.

I pulled my arm back slightly and stabbed.

-Twilight Ascension.

As soon as the sword was stabbed, magic was activated. The blue flash that spread from the Dragon Sword enveloped the space near Erestica.

Of course, the entangling process was only visible to me. To others, it would have felt like the dragon was simply falling apart into pieces.

Erestica didn’t die though. If it had been hit properly, of course she wouldn’t have been unharmed, but it was to be expected since the point of impact was placed far back in the first place.

A trail of mana spread out in another direction, wrapping around the dragon and exploding beyond it, burning a bright red-orange like the setting sun.

“… … .”

Leona became quiet. With a thud, Erestica landed on the ground. Her wings folded as if they were drooping down to the ground.

-… What did you just do, kid?

“It’s a technique that’s in my memory. Anyway, is there no problem with this?”

Erestica nodded in response, forgetting that she was in dragon form.

“… … But when will that be resolved?”

“After about 10 minutes?”

“Uh… … Then I think it would be best to run away from here for now.”

Leona pointed behind her with her finger. She turned her head.

“Mira… … ! Mira… … ! Please give it to me too… … !”

“This guy is the one who was talking and bothering Mira earlier! Don’t do that to me!”

The magicians who had been observing through the magic tower were swarming like zombies.
