NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 1045
Oknodie was honestly a bit awkward.
The pain was real.
If the numbness fades, the pain will be felt.
So, enduring the pain seems correct.
If they maintain the numbness, their mana will be consumed, preventing growth, and a delay of 100 hours is like an eternity for a veteran player.
So even now, they are slowly easing off the numbness, feeling pain while gradually reducing the affected area.
“Ugh.”
“Aah!”
“Ow, that stings!”
Ziang, under the pretext of scouting, walked ahead, holding back tears.
‘Our Oknodie has never felt pain before.’
Still, they were showing signs of suffering like this.
It was truly extraordinary.
Ziang’s unnecessary meddling wasn’t off base.
Actually, Oknodie was a veteran obsessed with pain tolerance.
They casually did things unthinkable to others while feeling no pain from the usual stuff.
If such a child is voicing pain, just how cruel and serious must their suffering be?
Ziang couldn’t even imagine it.
Could they endure it?
Probably not.
To be honest, Ziang had no confidence.
If it were her, she certainly wouldn’t have been able to withstand the pain and would have shockingly died.
“Is it really not that painful? It just sounds like a little prick from a thorn.”
The senior instructor, who had no special affection for Oknodie, thought without prejudice. It didn’t seem like much, did it?
“Senpai, do you want to go alone?”
“Sorry…”
“Look at Sadi. She’s in pain too.”
There was another sign indicating the seriousness of Oknodie’s pain.
Ziang held up Sadi, who was frowning with a grim expression, as evidence.
“What does her bad mood have to do with this? Isn’t she just on her period?”
“Senpai, Sadi doesn’t have periods.”
“Wh-wh-what?! How come?!”
“How come? Because of the professor?”
“Is it okay for a professor to do such a thing?!”
“Usually, it’s not. But for that professor, is it really that surprising?”
Professor Sadako pretended to teach something sensible in the Adventure Department by faking her lecture titles, but it was all just selling undead and summoning magic.
From the start of the semester, the Skeleton Instructor had been subtly trying to turn students into undead.
Being turned into a growing undead instead of a skeleton seems rather generous, don’t you think?
‘What kind of professors have the kids from Class 981 been through?’
The senior instructor of Professor Red Mountain was taken aback by Ziang’s nonchalance.
A female student not having her period because of a professor.
There’s no room for doubt.
It was a surety.
No matter how one looks at it, it must be due to
Even accepting that the professor could get a female student pregnant is reasonable.
This was clearly a significant problem.
The professor had used their power to sexually exploit and use students.
“What’s the name of the professor?”
This needs to be reported.
To the Student Council, or if that fails, to the head professors of the year.
If they can’t step in, then at least to the principal.
Surely, this nonsense has crossed the line.
In response to the senior’s question, Ziang nonchalantly answered.
“Sadako.”
“Sadako? I feel like I’ve heard that name recently.”
“Probably. They ascended and gained divinity.”
“…Weekly event! God of the Undead!!”
“Does it make sense now?”
It’s totally natural for the God of the Undead to make a student undead.
Ziang’s words were interpreted by the senior instructor in a slightly, no, very different way.
If you anger or get on the bad side of a professor who has ascended to godhood, you could be smitten with divine punishment, and who would dare to even speak of the professor’s misdeeds?
“Anyway, Sadi can read people’s hearts. So she’s probably making that face because she can sense Oknodie’s pain.”
“Is that really true?”
“Hehe. You’re a kind senpai. It’s not an incorrect claim. Right now, Oknodie’s inner world is indeed very dangerous. Just getting a little glimpse caused a disconnection with 1024 monster terminals.”
The monsters expired the moment they felt pain, unable to handle it.
Even the leftover sensations that couldn’t be fully passed off caused Sadi, who experiences so much by peering into others’ hearts, to feel pain.
If one considers that pain is inevitably tied to the heart and experiences, it was indeed quite a lot of suffering.
‘If I weren’t a special student like me who’s been honing my heart and soul since usual, I would have surely died instantly. I’ll have to keep observing people’s hearts and learning from experiences.’
Sadi vowed to continue her diligent path as a villain tomorrow and the day after!
The instructor couldn’t understand how Sadi, completely unfazed, was just casually brushing off such matters.
“Are you okay?”
“It hurts, but it’s bearable.”
“No, I meant, about what the professor did.”
The instructor’s question was whether Sadi suffered from being forcibly violated and getting pregnant by a professor who turned into a god.
Sadi peeked into her heart and couldn’t help but smile, thinking what a cute senior she was.
That was because she realized the senior instructor was looking at her with a rather absurd gaze.
‘It feels just like being Oknodie!’
Oknodie’s response, feeling a sense of disconnect from those around, was pretty entertaining to witness.
One could understand why Jibsa Jang Okashii-ne hovered around Seonhwang and Oknodie.
Secretly wishing to feel such amusement herself, Sadi soon got lost in the fun of teasing the senior instructor.
“Professor Sadako is such a strong professor that she rose to divinity. Not even the principal could have stopped her. There’s no choice but to live carrying her legacy forever.”
“That’s impossible… I thought the most wicked professor in the world without a doubt was Professor Red Mountain…”
“Understandable. Typically, instructors or TAs think their assigned professor is the worst. I surely must be one of those as well. There might be someone more wicked than this.”
“That can’t be! What you experienced is without a doubt the worst. There shouldn’t be any professor worse than Professor Sadako!”
…What are these people talking about?
Ziang, who had fallen into a gloomy mood, sensed something was off and tilted her head.
Seeing that expression, Sadi suppressing her pain manage to smile leisurely.
“Did you not know? Ziang and Oknodie have attended Professor Sadako’s lecture.”
“What?! Are you both alright?”
“We learned quite a bit. They weren’t exactly pleasant memories though.”
Ziang recalled the past lectures they had endured under Professor Sadako.
“There were times we were buried underground and couldn’t move, and moments trapped in a maze filled with undead. Plus, being possessed by a ghost and forced to do things.”
Failures, make-up classes.
In the midst of suddenly starting to recall those memories, the senior instructor’s face went pale, and Oknodie chimed in excitedly.
“There were also times we were dragged into creepy forests or got on the professor’s exclusive carriage, right?”
“Ooh… That forest where the cursed tree lived?”
“Yup. That was fun, right?”
“I honestly felt jealous when you said you went first with Dorothy, but if I knew that kind of experience awaited me, I wouldn’t have gone. I guess that was when it truly began. When we started really facing bad situations.”
“Hehe. That’s just because Ziang is weak! If you’re strong like me, you can get through weekends without any trouble!”
The senior instructor felt an overwhelming emotion of pure hatred and disdain for a being that was once human but has now become a deity.
To forcibly capture innocent young girls, making them be raped by zombies, or possessing them with ghosts to perform unwanted acts, and committing sexual exploitation every weekend.
Being unaware of Professor Sadako’s gender-enabled this line of thought.
Since it was a rare course on the fringes, few knew even how Professor Sadako looked.
Profoundly flabbergasted, Professor Sadako, who was inadvertently being sacrilegious, watched as her name got mentioned and issued a warning.
Crackle!
Boom… Bang bang!
A pitch-black bolt from the clear sky.
A tree nearby instantly turned to black ash and resurrected as undead, swaying, which caused the senior instructor to bite her lips tightly.
“Are you watching?”
“Of course. You must be bored in the netherworld!”
“…I’m sorry. It seems my ability isn’t enough to help.”
“What’s there for you to apologize about?”
“Right? We chose this lecture.”
“Ugh. You are such good kids.”
Suddenly, the senior instructor started to cry!
Seeing both of them comforting the mentor despite enduring such horrible experiences, it was pitiful.
Ziang and Oknodie were utterly flabbergasted in front of their sobbing senior.
Why is this senpai suddenly like this?
I don’t know. Seems like academy life has been tough on them!
Such looks were exchanged back and forth.
With Sadi patting the senior’s shoulder, subtly doing some bonding, Ziang and Oknodie joined in to comfort her.
‘These poor kids can’t be left to hate the world. I’ll send them back to the academy even if it means risking my life!’
The senior instructor vowed to personally ensure the safe return of the three victims of Professor Sadako, not shying away from any difficult tasks ahead of her.
Only Sadi, who understood the situation, was elated while Ziang and Oknodie were left considering how Professor Red Mountain was even more trashy than they thought.
