Chapter 150

〈 Chapter 151 〉 Chapter 150 – Award Ceremony and.

*

I was reaching down to pick up my phone that had fallen on the ground, after flinging my fist from Jeong Ahyeon.

At that moment, Jeong Ahyeon and Caressy, who were watching my actions, suddenly started screaming.

“Ahhhhh!!! Master!! Get rid of that f*cking thing!!!”

“Fck!!!! Lord!!!!! Everything’s fine, just burn that sht!!!”

In that moment, Peria rushed to stop Caressy.

“Saintess! Please wait a moment!!! I’ll move it right away!!!”

“Shut your mouth!!!”

Peria shouted desperately, blood vessels popping in her eyes.

“This is the highlight of my life!!!”

“It was the most f*cked up thing in my life!!!!!!!!”

Caressy’s anger seemed justified, as suddenly, two bolts of lightning came crashing down from the sky.

One hit my phone, and the other struck Peria, who still had unholy thoughts.

“Ahhhhh!!!!!!!”

“No way!!!!”

My phone turned to ashes in an instant.

“I still have a contract left!!!”

“Ah… I’m sorry. I’ll buy you a new one.”

It seemed Peria got a direct lightning attack, smoke billowing up from her entire body.

She fainted in a state of sheer ugliness as a Holy Knight.

Meanwhile, Jeong Ahyeon was gazing at that scene in confusion.

“Why isn’t the Master getting struck by lightning?”

“Shut the f*ck up and don’t draw aggro my way.”

“No! After showing that sh*t, dare to escape divine punishment?”

As if on cue with Jeong Ahyeon’s words, it felt like lightning might strike from the heavens.

I urgently proposed to the god.

“Lord! I’ll give a generous tithe!”

However, the signs of lightning showed no signs of dissipating.

As if it was a threat, the atmosphere became sharply tense, so I made an additional outrageous offer.

“I’ll offer a gratitude donation on top of the construction donation!!!”

As soon as that phrase left my mouth, the ominous signs of lightning vanished without a trace.

It seemed money was important to gods too.

Seeing this, Piece shouted in disbelief.

[That’s not a f*cking god, that’s a (god) damn it!!!]

What an annoying bastard…

Meanwhile, Caressy, instead of the earlier malicious expression, was now wearing a look of despair.

With a sigh, she quietly muttered.

“Ah… all my plans have gone awry…”

We approached Caressy, noticing her expression.

Then Caressy turned her head towards us, cautiously asking.

“What kind of promise did you make that you fought so fiercely?”

“Oh, that?”

Indeed, Jeong Ahyeon had asked me to win no matter what, and I had struggled to fulfill that promise.

Just then, Jeong Ahyeon smiled at me, expressing her gratitude.

“Master, once again, thank you for keeping your promise.”

“You asked me to.”

Jeong Ahyeon and I just stared at each other in silence.

And without anyone saying a word, we shouted simultaneously.

“F*ck!!! Now we’re rich!!!”

“It was a long time of humiliation and oppression!!!”

Why did we fight so hard in the previous episode?

To keep the promise to Jeong Ahyeon.

Of course, that promise was to earn money.

It was worth the fierce fights and rolling around.

[F*ck! If only I had just let it go, it would have ended dramatically. Why the hell did I mess with it!!!]

‘What kind of drama is there in this novel.’

There’s a time and place for drama.

In this novel, the only fitting expression is ‘Ah? Ru’ with a half-dazed face.

Meanwhile, Piece was still throwing a fit, unable to comprehend what just happened.

[Besides, who the f*ck uses ‘Old Lady’ during a fight!!!]

‘Oh, it’s a signature move.’

[Something like this… a protagonist?]

Yet Piece seemed scared of ‘Old Lady’, falling into silence thereafter.

Surely, ‘Old Lady’ wasn’t weak.

The opponent was simply too out of the ordinary.

Watching us, Caressy tilted her head as if half-dazed and asked.

“J-Just how much did you earn then?”

“Want to know? Now we’re f*cking rich!”

“Ahem! I’ll tell you this time specially!”

Jeong Ahyeon and I boldly shared what we had earned with Caressy.

Her response came in a flurry of excitement.

“F*ck!!! I could give you three times that amount!!”

“I… what?…”

“Is that really true?”

Caressy was tearing at her hair in despair.

“Ahhhhh!! If I had known this would happen, I’d just have given money to be called!!!”

“My suffering… my efforts… what in the world for…”

“……I should’ve just taken the money and faked it.”

We muttered in a crumpled state beside Caressy.

Then I turned towards her.

“Oh right, Caressy.”

“……What is it?”

Caressy looked at me with an annoyed expression.

“I can’t go to the Beastman Kingdom this break.”

“I know.”

“In exchange.”

I reached out to Caressy, who was still gloomy.

“I can go with you after the second semester ends.”

“Are you serious!!!”

Caressy’s expression instantly brightened.

She grabbed my outstretched hand and shook it vigorously, expressing her overwhelming joy.

Not even a dog, and yet her tail was wagging wildly side to side.

“It doesn’t seem impossible to go now.”

“Really thank you!!!”

It’s definitely a new place; it could be worth checking out.

Sure, there might be some fur flying about, but there were no allergies, so it was like a leisurely stroll.

And there were many curiosities.

Do avian beastmen lay eggs or give birth?

Do reptilian beastmen lay eggs or give birth to young?

“I feel like I’m having some f*cked-up thoughts.”

“……It’s just an illusion.”

When Caressy half-smiled, half-glared at me, I glanced away slightly.

Meanwhile, the students were jeering at me, trying to win Caressy’s favor.

“Kim Shinwoo, that f*cking speciesist bastard!!!”

“Hey! That’s a derogatory comment against canine beastmen!”

“Winning by luck is just pathetic!!!”

“A non-furry bastard babbling nonsense!!!”

“How on earth is that a winner! I can’t recognize it!!”

At that moment, Caressy released my hand and turned her body toward the students.

Then she shouted, so loud that it was hard to believe it came from her small frame.

“Thanks to Kim Shinwoo, I’ll save five more!!!! You should be grateful!!!”

In an instant, the public opinion turned around.

Students began praising me.

“Of course, it’s Kim Shinwoo who informs us of human greatness!!!”

“Luck or whatever, winning is all that matters!!!”

“I actually prefer a smooth-skinned guy!!!”

“Even if no one recognizes him, I, for one, acknowledge Kim Shinwoo as the winner!!!”

“Absolutely Kim Shinwoo!!! I was counting on you!!!”

“Shinwoo is a hero!!!”

Seeing this, Piece exclaimed in shock.

[I feel like I’m looking at the Leaf Village.]

‘I should just wipe those f*ckers out with my Wind Shuriken.’

Even Naruto would mistake this for the Hell Leaf Village with how terrible the attitude shift was.

I was too tired from the effects of the semifinals to use the Cheonma Laser on the students, so I endured this time.

At that moment, Piece paused cursing the shameless students and asked me something else.

None other than the name of the new technique.

[Are you really going to call your new technique Cheonma Laser?]

‘Then what should I call it? Cheonma Power, everything works?’

[You f*cking… focus!!!]

But I couldn’t think of a decent technique name.

If I went with ‘Cheonma Energy Wave’ or ‘Cheonma Tourist Bomb’, I might end up losing the copyright without a clue.

In the end, I compromised and went with Cheonma Laser.

At a distance, I spotted the White Bear and Lion regaining their senses.

They seemed to be in conversation, then suddenly the Lion smacked Peria, who was still fainted, with a paw.

The Lion spat on Peria one last time, approached Caressy, and gave a short greeting.

Seeing this, Jeong Ahyeon asked me.

“Master, what are they doing?”

“The Lion is going to declare retirement. He said he’d join us at the Academy?”

“That certainly makes sense.”

Caressy approved of the Lion’s retirement with a complicated expression.

At that moment, the fainted Peria suddenly opened her eyes and spoke earnestly to Caressy.

“Saintess!!!”

“What is it?”

“Now, the special meal is mine, right?”

“Please die.”

Lightning struck Peria once again.

Now only the award ceremony remained.

The award ceremony would only give prizes to the tournament winners.

The prizes were part of the money lost from betting by students and an award certificate with the Chief’s signature from the Academy.

As we headed to the improvised award podium in the center, Jeong Ahyeon spoke to me.

“What do you think money is, Master?”

“Hmm…”

After much contemplation, I spoke the most fitting words.

“Though I never said it, it has always been beautiful like a miracle.”

“Indeed, Master! You always speak the truth!”

[Indeed, f*cking bastards, I’m hoping you all get hit.]

We stepped over the scorched Peria on our way to the podium.

And just as we were about to step onto the podium.

“That’s as far as you go!”

“What’s this?”

A wizard appeared.
