“Ugh!”
Leo opened his eyes.
For some reason, he found himself lying down.
He felt a soft sensation behind his neck and saw a cleanly shaped ceiling above him.
He clearly remembered noticing a secret and entering battle mode…
“…Dean’s Office?”
“That’s right.”
“Huh?”
Bam! He shot up from his spot.
Lily, sitting on the couch right in front of him, was sipping tea and smiling sweetly.
Squishy.
His cheeks stretched out.
W-What’s going on!
“Mew!”
“Honestly, you fainted for quite a while, so I was a bit worried.”
Lily began to pull on Leo’s cheeks.
Really, they stretched like rice cakes.
Could this be the influence of becoming a complete nymph?
“Sure feels similar.”
“W-What do you mean?”
“The feeling of touching a nymph.
They loved me just as much as the spirits did, even if I didn’t often see them.
Not that often, anyway.”
I stretched Leo’s cheeks again.
Stretch. Stretch.
This really feels like magic.
Why do nymphs have this kind of form?
It’s amazing how they can stretch out infinitely but not ridiculously so.
“Ugh…”
Just the right amount of cute. It’s delightful to look at.
“Don’t worry. I barely touched you while you were sleeping.”
“…I guess I got hit by the gag reflex.”
“It’s only fun if there’s a reaction.”
When I said this with a smile, Leo puffed out his cheeks.
Thanks to that, I couldn’t squeeze his cheeks anymore as my hands were pushed away, but it didn’t matter.
I had already enjoyed it all.
“Enough! Stop it!”
Dodge!
With his tiny hands, Leo pushed my arms away and sprang up like lightning, hiding behind the sofa.
Perk! His signature yellow messy hair popped up, and his odd-colored eyes were glaring at me.
So cute.
“…Speaking of which, why did I—”
“Why did you faint?”
“Because of the secret… the secret… huh?”
I clearly remembered finding out Lady Lily’s secret and coming here to discuss “complete unification.”
Then I saw the error in the concentration stone. That is, I saw Lady Lily’s past…!
“That past!”
“The past?”
“…I remember now?”
I recalled teaching children as a professor at the Empire’s Academy and even coming here for a secret mission on an alien planet.
There were no gaps in my memory.
“Huh?”
“I just wanted to give it a try. I thought it would be fun to have a cliché like this.”
Wasn’t it somewhat entertaining?
“…But swinging a hammer like that…”
“Well, at least there was some result.”
“?”
Leo tilted his head.
I stared intently at the faint white lightning flowing from her.
Earlier, there was a huge amount of ‘expenditure,’ yet the remnants of the lightning still remained.
“Isn’t it much easier to block than before?”
“Ah, huh?”
When I hit Leo, I stuffed an above-normal level of power into the hammer.
Normally, Leo wouldn’t have been able to endure that and should have either died or been resurrected with a resurrection item.
“Oops?”
Leo, who had achieved complete unification, was now at a level where she could ‘withstand’ a hit.
Not just her body got stronger, but her ‘soul’ itself had increased its threshold too.
“At least she’s reached Yena’s level. Just how much hands-on work was done?”
I felt the need to have a chat with Lasty.
“But really, what’s your true identity?”
“I’m an alien.”
“……”
“I’m serious.”
“If that’s true, spreading this––”
“Then I’ll really forget my memories.”
“……”
By the way, there’s been a precedent of such a thing.

As of 1 day and 5 hours and 20 minutes after the entrance exam started,
so far, a total of 19 people have passed.
Of course, Leo is in first place, and familiar names follow below.
Beriard? What the heck is this guy? LOL
I saw the ridiculous clear time of 17 minutes and checked it out; it turned out to be the black magic user who was listening to Lily’s lecture at the start.
Was there some penalty like a recluse, or was he originally this strong?

─?
─Who?
─LOL
─17 minutes? For real, that’s absurd. Even the gatekeeper is tough.
└You do feel the wall from the gatekeeper, though.
└Who is Beriard, anyway?
└Seriously LOL.
└He’s a nobody for sure. LOL
└That Benou, though.
└Hahaha
─Wow, in the meantime, Yena achieved 3rd place!
└Great Yena
└Yena is the best LOL
└Yena gang! Yena gang! Yena gang! Yena gang!
└So Yena really met Lily?
└Yep, she appeared during the siege war.
└?
└Why don’t you believe it?
─Leo cleared it in 6 minutes too? What do you have to do to get 6 minutes?
└Leo is a god.
└Leo really is a crazy guy.
└Info) Leo blocked a coalition of over 100 rankers for 2 hours during the siege war.
└LOL
└The Nymph is a god, and Leo using spirits is invincible.
─But hasn’t anyone cleared the Progenitor?
└Maybe? I haven’t seen anything pop up.
[The Progenitor is so pretty.]
Author: Prisonerong
(An image of the Progenitor shooting a Blood spear)
I was wondering why there aren’t many Progenitor pictures on the community, but getting to that crazy Progenitor room is ridiculously hard.
Taking each step is a challenge. It took me over 30 minutes just to pass through that short hallway.
So I finally opened the door, and my specs were not just restored, but ridiculously enhanced.
The casting speed and destructive power of my skills increased by almost 4-5 times.
Above all, the Progenitor is just insane.
Her appearance is almost no lie, about a 0.7 Lily level? Considering her youthful form, I think she might reach 0.8 in her growth form.
Of course, aside from being pretty, she’s ultra strong and can one-shot in a second, haha!

─Whoa
─Wow, what the hell
─She’s really pretty, though
└Seriously, she looks like a goddess
└It’s a doll
└Info: The Progenitor’s name is Lasty Erbenus.
└Ha… Lasty is my “bride” from today.
└It’s mine, stop spouting nonsense.
└She’s my girlfriend. Please don’t touch her;;
└I’ve been secretly dating Lasty, and she just texted me saying she wants to leave work right now, yeah.
└Oh dear
└Hahahahahahahaha
─Compared to Lily, though, lol
└Lily is just on another level, haha
└Fact: Lily is at least twice as pretty
└But isn’t that just character customization?
└Whoa
└Yep~ Lily is the same in reality too
└Haven’t you seen the Siege War?
└Fact: Lily has never done a loyal cosplay. It’s just the fans who want her to be the “real” thing, haha.
└Nonsense, if that was the case, why did Yena and I go watch the offline match together?
└Because it’s not Lily?
└I saw it; it was the real Lily, no doubt.
└This guy does this all the time
└Isn’t it a fact that Lily acknowledged it? She said she’s the offline Lily, right?
└That might be a lie; she talks as if it’s not true from the start.
└Whether it’s really her or not, isn’t the fact that someone resembling Lily exists in reality enough proof? In the end, it means she really does exist.
└Fact: That’s true.
└Don’t argue in my post, fact ninjas!
└Hahahahahahahaha
─So who would win if the Progenitor and That Guy Uncle fought?
■
“Who would win if they fought? Obviously the Progenitor.”
After sending Leo away, it was broadcast time.
I walked around the soon-to-be-completed Academy, answering questions that came up in the chat.
Usually, it’s common to answer such questions after receiving sponsorships, but there were too many donations, making it impossible to continue the broadcast.
In the end, I declared that I wouldn’t accept any sponsorships! and turned them off, and that choice has lasted for several months.
[Oh?]
[The Progenitor is ridiculously strong, haha!]
[This Guy Uncle is nuts, huh?]
[“This Guy”]
[Lasty is super cute, lol!]
[Does this Guy Uncle look like shit?]
[Eye? Me?]
[What’s with the Progenitor being a noona anyway…?]
[Oh, this Guy Uncle can’t beat it?]
[Walking into the Progenitor’s room and dying from a single skill… damn…]
[Did they really make it to clear the Progenitor?]
[Is there still no one who has beaten the Progenitor?]
“Yes. Quite a few have challenged the Progenitor, but no one has cleared it yet.”
Numerous rankers, including Leo, and countless others aiming for the clear rewards attempted but ultimately couldn’t kill the Progenitor.
‘The fact that they even think they can “kill” it is nonsense, though.’
The Progenitor is an immortal being.
To kill an immortal, you either need to acquire powers that negate immortality or push them to exhaust their immortal strength completely.
The problem is, the Progenitor’s immortality surpasses most common Celestials and Demon Races, and her power is as vast as the Blood Sea.
To kill her, you’d have to topple an entire continent.
But.
[Isn’t that just too strong?]
“The Progenitor is strong, but she’s not impossible to kill.”
After all, her enormous strength is only when she’s in her ‘main body.’
Prestige isn’t that strong.
At least, she’s a bit more superior physically than the Sword Saint before he lost his enlightenment and power, like Yena and Leo.
And if you master her ‘patterns’ accurately, you can definitely contend with her.
Especially since one of her specialties, ‘Blood Body Rebirth,’ is sealed, you can definitely kill her once all her body’s blood is exhausted.
‘What a nightmare of a technique.’
Have you ever seen a vampire that comes back to life after having its body killed and all its blood drained?
She could even regenerate from soul damage; she seemed like a singular Evil God capable of destroying the world.
In the end, I got defeated and trapped in my own soul, though.
[It’s impossible.]
[No way, haha, Leo couldn’t do it, so how can we?]
[Date!!!!]
[The Progenitor is too strong.]
[If Leo couldn’t clear it, how are we supposed to?]
[Is this some ploy to stop us from dating?]
“I’ll show you right now.”
I took my steps and arrived at the Dimension Space Implementation Room.
Then, I immediately chose the second stage and entered the dimension.
Clink! A crossbow and silver sword echoed in my hands.
I need to talk to Lasty a bit.
