Academy – Recording Device

“Rena…”

She was the person he desperately wanted to see at this moment.

Jade leaned against a tree and blankly stared at the night sky.

For him, this forest where he’d always trained alone had been his greatest sanctuary.

Whenever he saw the brightly shining yellow moon, golden hair would come to mind.

The girl who used to find him whenever he trained late at night.

They would practice swordsmanship together, laugh and chat about their Academy days.

All were unforgettable memories Jade had made with the person he loved.

But now, happy times with Rena might never come again.

Because Jade had committed a grave sin against Rena.

He had run away, leaving Rena to suffer humiliation at Doran’s hands.

If he truly loved Rena and considered her a friend, this was something he should never have done.

The next day when he tried to apologize, Rena didn’t come to the Academy at all. Asking that bastard about Rena’s whereabouts was out of the question.

‘Did I make an irreversible mistake?’

He still couldn’t forget Rena’s shocked expression as she looked at him.

“Ha… ha…”

Jade found it absurd how he kept pointlessly regretting like an idiot.

“She must have been deeply hurt because of me, right?”

She was already being insulted by other Academy students.

Just days ago, those same people had been bowing and scraping to win her favor. Now they flipped their attitudes completely, ignoring or trampling on her.

“Those motherfuckers. How dare they treat Rena…”

He wanted to drive his sword through their throats immediately. But he lacked both the courage and strength to do so.

Jade needed to vent this directionless rage somewhere.

-Swoosh.

He drew his sword and began madly slashing at the tree before him.

“Uwaaaaah!”

He swung the sword until his arms nearly broke, not even channeling mana. Only this way could he forget everything, even temporarily.

-Thud, thud, crack, crack, crack!

Blunt wounds kept appearing on the tree bark.

The situation looked more like beating than cutting.

Finally, the sword couldn’t withstand the impact and snapped.

-Clang!

“Ugh?!”

Jade groaned at the sudden pain in his hand. When he checked, his palm was covered in blood from recklessly swinging the sword.

This sight calmed Jade slightly. He sighed while looking at the broken sword.

He’d grown quite attached to this sword… To ruin it like this just for venting.

“Sigh… What crime did you commit? You suffered.”

Truthfully, even without such violent use, the sword was old enough to break soon.

Jade hadn’t been idle these past days. He trained relentlessly whenever possible.

Though he’d always trained before, these past few days he pushed harder, barely sleeping.

Had his bloody efforts finally borne fruit?

Jade felt he could break through to 4 Stars soon.

But his momentary joy faded quickly.

“What meaning is there in me reaching 4 Stars?”

Doran was a 5-Star Mage.

Even if he barely reached 4 Stars, defeating that bastard was impossible. Rather, the stronger he became, the wider Doran’s gap felt.

The small flame of Jade’s determination extinguished again.

**

-Thud.

Returning to the dormitory, Jade collapsed powerlessly onto his bed.

“I’ll probably get expelled after this exam…”

During classes, the professor’s voice naturally didn’t register at all.

Even when trying hard, his grades had been borderline. Taking exams without proper attendance would predictably end badly.

Not that the Academy mattered anymore anyway.

Lying here, thoughts of Rena flooded his mind again.

Is Rena still holding on?

Has she already broken under Doran?

Does Rena still feel the same about me?

Every night, Jade couldn’t sleep properly, imagining Rena being violated by that bastard.

-Knock knock.

A knocking sound reached Jade drowning in depression.

Does someone need me? Wondering who’d visit, Jade opened the door.

“Who is it?”

But no one stood there.

“What the…?”

He stepped into the hallway to look around, but it remained eerily empty.

As Jade turned to go back inside, thinking it a prank-

-Tap.

Something touched his foot.

Looking down, Jade saw a small square box on the floor with only a note saying “To Jade.”

“What’s this?”

Jade brought the box inside and placed it on his desk.

-Click.

“I never ordered anything…”

Even if he had, no one would just dump it at his door.

Feeling uneasy, Jade carefully opened the box to find a spherical device inside. He instantly recognized it.

“This is… a recording device?”

Jade pondered why this came to him.

‘I’ve only seen these used for Academy lectures… Why would I…’

Then the device’s green light blinked as if containing recorded footage.

Mesmerized, Jade pressed the play button.

Footage projected above the device.

-Squelch! Schlick! Squelch, squelch!

-Hahh… Ugh! Ahn, hng! Hwaaaaah♡

-Hey. Rena, look here.

The recording showed Rena riding someone naked, moving her hips.

“Ah…?”

Am I dreaming?

Jade froze at the shocking scene. Contextually, the person beneath her could only be… Doran.

-Yes! It feels good… Haaah♡ I’ll serve you… hard, hwaaang!

-Haha! Playing coy now.

-Uhooht… Fuck me harder with your cock! Master’s cock is amazing, ohhoooh♡

“This… can’t be real?”

Rena would never say such things to trash like Doran…

But betraying Jade’s hopes, Rena kept spewing vulgar words while happily enjoying sex with Doran.

-Haa, haa… Impregnate me with Master’s baby… Ahguk! Ohhoht♡

-Haha! Fine. I’ll grant your wish.

-Squelch, schlick, squelch, squelch!

-Hah, hng, het! Nghhiht! Master’s cum inside meee… Hwaaaaaah♡

Rena collapsed backward as Doran came inside her, semen gushing out.

The recording device moved to show Rena’s face.

-Rena, say something to Jade watching this.

-Hweh? J-Jade…?

Rena in the footage seemed to recall Jade’s forgotten face.

After a moment, Rena’s red lips parted.

-Jade, are you watching? I’m sorry. I promised to return to you…

He shouldn’t watch further.

Jade’s instincts screamed warnings.

Jade frantically reached for the stop button.

-Hesitation.

But irresistible curiosity prevented him from turning it off.

‘What if… there’s still hope?’

Rena’s words continued.

-But I’ve surrendered to Master. A slut like me belongs under a superior male. I was foolishly resisting before. When he makes me this happy… I’ll serve Master Doran forever.

-Hear that, Jade? Rena is mine eternally now.

“Ha, ha… This must be an illusion.”

Jade began denying reality at Rena’s unbelievable words.

Doran must have cast hallucination magic. Or he’d been drugged with hallucinogens when opening the box.

-Hehe… Master. Did I do well? Now give me your cock!

-Fine. Our bitch Rena deserves more fucking.

-Thank you… Ohhoht! Haaaaaah♡

Against Jade’s will, Rena kept having violent sex with Doran.

Doran enjoyed her body in every position possible.

But the shocking footage didn’t end there.

Doran rummaged through Rena’s clothes on the floor and pulled something out.

He placed it in exhausted Rena’s hand.

-This is…?

-Your student ID. Hold it and look here.

-Yes…

Rena in the footage knelt before the recorder, holding her student ID with both hands at chest level.

A bizarre contrast emerged between Rena’s current state and her ID photo.

Her face in the footage – smiling happily while covered in semen.

Her ID photo – beautiful, neat, and expressionless.

These opposites dramatically showcased her transformation.

-You know what to say?

Blushing, Rena hesitated before speaking.

-I, Rena of Vail Academy… hereby declare I’ll live forever as Master Doran’s exclusive cunt♡

She kissed Doran’s cock.

-Sluurp, schlap!

-Good girl. You deserve a reward.

-Haaaaaah?! Thank… Ohhoht♡ I love your cock so muuuuch♡

“……”

Jade had long since collapsed speechless to the floor.

This wasn’t a dream.

Rena had completely fallen, becoming Doran’s slave.

The beautiful, radiant Rena he knew was gone. Only a bitch slave craving pleasure under superior male Doran remained.

Suddenly Jade felt tightness below.

“What’s…?”

His pants tented obscenely.

“…Ha, ha.”

Was he getting aroused seeing Rena like this?

So I’m no different from Doran. I only saw Rena as a sexual object.

Self-loathing flooded Jade at his ugly, wretched state.

“Hng… Why… why must this happen to Rena and me…”

Finally shattered by extreme shock, Jade lay face-down and wept for a long time.

It’s so unfair.

I didn’t do nothing.

I couldn’t act because I was powerless.

“I want to save Rena too. Please… PLEEEASE!”

As Jade screamed wanting to save Rena-

-Thump

Something began squirming in his chest.
