8 – Practical Lessons (5)

Suddenly, Sena finds herself face to face with the spear she has wanted to see this whole time.

Is it because she hasn’t seen it in so long?

– Thump! Thump!

Her heart beats in a regular rhythm and her body is trembling.

“Haah…haah…”

“Are you okay?”

At this time, Professor Elick, full of concern, asks her.

She had always felt it, but his kindness was unparalleled.

Even the demon involved in this incident was just subdued, not killed.

Even the saintly she could not help but admire his unwavering goodness.

So,

‘I want him by my side.’

Unlike other disgusting nobles, Elick is more innocent than anyone else.

Having him by her side feels like her entire body is being purified.

Also, sometimes…no, if she got disciplined by that spear at least once a day, it would be beyond ecstatic.

‘Ah, surely the Sun God has given me a second chance.’

With that thought, she recalls her initial encounter with Elick.

***

She, who had been living a life devoid of any emotion in the academy.

The moment when the lecture ends, she was about to go to the podium to pray to the sun god.

“Miss Saint.”

A familiar student approached and spoke.

She cocked her head slightly.

“Yes. Is there something you need?”

“Well, yes. You see, Professor Ellic has asked for you. He said it’s time for your meeting….”

“Understood.”

With that, she moved on.

The next moment.

– Really. It gives me goosebumps every time.

– Definitely. Talking to a doll void of emotions feels more humane somehow.

– Yeah, yeah. Feels just like that.

The whispers ringing in her ears, talking behind her back.

Most people would at least glare back at such a thing, but she, devoid of any emotions, merely acknowledged it.

Unaffected, she ignored the whispers and soon arrived in front of Ellic’s laboratory.

“Professor, may I enter?”

“Come in.”

At his words, she pushed the door aside.

Soon, a green wooden stick caught her eye.

‘What’s that?’

As she was puzzled and staring at it…

“Aren’t you going to sit down?”

He asked, impatiently.

She took a seat in response to his words.

And then, she stared at him for a moment.

‘Upon revisiting, he has changed quite a bit.’

Her first impression of him, of course, was far from positive.

Unlike most people, she had the power to see the nature of souls, and Elik was nearly the worst of them. Up until now, she had seen countless souls, but this one was so revolting, it was almost a first. Consequently, she avoided him whenever possible, except for during lecture times. Then, suddenly, one day, his soul changed. She wasn’t sure why. ‘He’s become much gentler.’ Of course, it’s not like he’s become extremely virtuous. He’s just about the same as ordinary people. However, such sudden changes are nearly impossible. She, who had observed souls so far, did she not know? The tendency of the soul is seldom to change. Even if it does, it doesn’t happen suddenly. Therefore, she wondered if she herself had become strange. But still. ‘Professor, your behavior has also changed from before.’ At that moment when Sena thought about Elik’s actions in front of her, “Why are you so absent-minded?” Elik, stared at her. Sena quickly caught herself and apologized hurriedly, shaking her head. “Ah, I’m sorry.” “Never mind. Anyway, is there anything bothering you or any problem?” “No. There isn’t.” She responded without a moment’s hesitation, in an emotionless voice, to his question.

Then, Elick narrowed his eyes disappointingly.

“Hmm. That’s your issue.”

“····Excuse me?”

She blinked at the unexpected comment.

The next moment, words she never expected sprouted from his mouth.

“You’re currently conversing as if there’s no emotion in you.”

“·····.”

“That’s the problem.”

She never thought she’d hear such words from the professor in front of her.

Although a professor, strictly in terms of status, she was higher.

As a saint candidate, she’s close to almost royal standard.

Sena acknowledged his words with an unemotional voice.

“Yes. I have no feelings. Because that’s how I’ve been taught in the church.”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

Usually, anyone would normally remain silent upon hearing these words.

He also should since she’s from the church, and the one who educated her was probably the Pope himself.

Therefore, it is normal not to interfere.

“But I can’t see my student act that way. Therefore, you will have daily consultations with me after school. Firstly, we need to get your normal emotions back.”

Unexpectedly, he declared to restore his student.

She didn’t know at that time.

That his words were sincere.

***

Momentarily, Sena recollected her first consultation with Elick.

“Sena?”

Elick suddenly called her.

Sena, interrupted from her thoughts, shifted her gaze towards him.

“Ah, yes.”

“Hmm. Judging by your reaction, it seems you’re alright. In any case, it appears the rampage of the beast has finished. It’s time for us to head back.”

“Yes. But before that, could I check something if that’s alright?”

She said, staring piercingly at his spear.

In fact, she currently wanted confirmation for something.

It was nothing else but,

‘Did the professor also regress?’

Whether the Elic in front of her had regressed like herself.

Contrary to the previous cycle, didn’t he already have a spear?

Therefore, it’s inevitable for her to have doubts.

“What is it that you want confirmed?”

“May I… perhaps check that wooden stick?”

She turns her flushed cheek as she gazes at his spear.

Elic, looking at her, is taken aback inside.

‘Crazy. She wants to confirm this?’

Ever since the Yanderes had regressed, it was anticipated but he never thought it would happen this soon.

As much as he wanted to refuse right away, he feared it could arouse more suspicion.

Even now, seemingly doubtful, she gazes at him.

Still, just in case, he’d have to ask properly.

“So, what is it that you want to confirm?”

“Ah, yes. That…”

With her ears burning red, she hangs her head.

Soon, she crosses her legs and in an embarrassed voice, carefully asks.

“By any chance, can you teach me using that?”

“….”

“Well then! If I were to speak formally, that would be enough for me to receive a few good slaps on my behind.

Her reason for looking awkward at this moment is quite obvious.

Even if I hadn’t returned, I would have been treated like a crazy man.

‘Of course she is still a maiden in the future.’

But when?

‘That’s not it!’

Yes, that’s right.

Even if she looks attractive to me, she has no interest in inflicting pleasure on others.

-That’s right. The master can’t just remain still.

‘That’s true.’

The truth according to the whip.

From Noble mtl dot com

-Pow!

In the end, Elrik lifted his arm slowly and lowered it.

-Snap!

A sound like a slap echoed in the forest.

And at the same time.

“Ouch.”

The sound of a woman letting out a sharp gasp.”

The reaction was evident as Elrik’s pleasure was transmitted.

‘”It’s really a problem if this feels too good.”

The girl before his eyes was generally impervious to most curses due to the divine protection of the sun god.

However, even that divine protection was rendered useless in front of the trident.

With a sigh, Ellick opened his mouth.

“Isn’t this enough?”

“Huff… huff… No. I don’t think we’ve sufficiently verified it yet. Could you continue… Professor?”

Sena answered with a desperate, gasping breath and a maniacal gleam in her eyes.

Seeing her bead of cold sweat and soft breath, it seemed like her switch had been flipped.

‘I’m going crazy.’

He had expected that one experience wouldn’t be the end of it, but he hadn’t anticipated her switch being flicked so soon.

If she was in that state now, he’d have to keep at it until she was satisfied.

‘Hmm… Thinking about it, I can’t leave the heroines like this.’

Defeating the demon king is important, but for a perfect ending, shouldn’t he need to return the heroines back to normal?

Therefore, he must use a different method than usual.

‘Trident.’

-Huh? Master? Why?

‘This time, let’s just give her pain, no pleasure.’

-Eh? Is that okay? What if it ruins that woman?

Certainly, just inflicting pain on the Sena he sees could destroy her mentally.

But then, hasn’t she fallen apart already if she wanted to be hit by a trident?’

And so,

‘Shock him twice more to make him forget those thoughts.’

-Hmph. I understand that it’s disappointing for good feelings to vanish, but if that’s what the master wants, then how far should we go?

‘As lightly as possible. Even if that hurts him so much.’

-Understood. Master. But without any pleasure at all?

‘Yes. Without a single bit of pleasure.’

-Understood.

With that said, I turned my gaze back to her bottom.

Soon, adjusting myself, I struck with the palm of my hand.

“Gasps!”

Just as before, she showed no other reaction.

Clearly, she looked perplexed and bewildered.

“What’s wrong?”

“Is something the matter?”

“No, not at all. Please allow me to try again.”

“Very well.”

Again I adjusted myself and struck her bottom anew.

She cried out once more,

“Gasp!”

Her eyes widened in shock, revealing a look of intense pain.

Despite this unexpected torment, she didn’t pause for even a moment.

‘He needs another shock.’

I couldn’t let him lose consciousness again without administering another strike.

I was trying to calm her down, but:

“Ugh!”

She pouted her lower lip and held in a groan.

I struck her again.

“Ouch!“

Her body jerked as she squeezed her eyes shut.

At the same time, a muffled sob escaped from her lips.

“Ugh!”

What was this?

It seemed I had dealt another curse instead.

But there was no sign of her being annoyed or angry as before.

‘Are you really enjoying this pain?’

– Master. I’m feeling uneasy too.

Since we have a contract, it’s easy for me to discern if someone is lying.

Her words contained no lies at all.

So,

‘Then, are you just enjoying the pain alone right now?’

When I thought this, goosebumps broke out on my entire body.

She was putting in great effort to not collapse, but it was clear that she was still experiencing pain.

But wasn’t she supposed to be writhing in agony and not enjoying it?

‘No. You’ve turned into a true masochist!’

Contrary to expectations, the situation had significantly worsened. Mainly because she was still looking at me with a look that begged for me to quickly set things straight. Caught off-guard by the unexpected development, I was flustered.

“What the…”

A startled voice suddenly echoed in my ear. Turning my head towards the voice, I saw a shocked student in the sight of the two of us.

Simultaneously, a message rang out, “The development is different from the previous round. A reward will be given. Sigh.”

The author’s reward was given out.

If only it hadn’t come with that last sigh, it would have been much better.
