Chapter 341 – The Hero

Early November afternoon, clear weather.

A month had already passed since the Mage’s Banquet, and autumn was in full swing.

Contrary to Calisto’s warning, no particular incidents had occurred, and peaceful days continued as always.

Currently, I was having a physical conversation with Sara in the training room.

Of course, it wasn’t sex.

Boom!

The sound of a loud boom echoed as two fists collided.

I was pushed back by the impact. When I looked up, Sara shook her fist and chuckled.

“You’ve really gotten a lot stronger. If we went all out now, I think I’d lose.”

“Thanks to Professor-nim.”

“Oh really? I’m glad I could help. Didn’t Alisa also gain an awakening recently?”

“That’s right. She became incredibly fast.”

A week ago, Alisa reached Level 250.

After acquiring the Red Meteor and deadly attack power, she also mastered incredible speed and soared once more.

At least when it came to surprise attacks, she could even threaten a Level 300 powerhouse.

Unless they possessed regenerative abilities like mine, she would be very difficult to deal with.

I pondered how to utilize her, recalling the position Alisa held in the game.

Just then, Sara smiled bitterly.

“Deborah too, and Alisa, they’re truly amazing. Their talents are incredible.”

“Professor-nim will also achieve an awakening soon.”

“Really? I haven’t even found a clue yet.”

“But you will do it.”

“So that’s what you think…”

Sara made a complex expression at my answer, which held no hesitation whatsoever.

Then, as if realizing the atmosphere had grown too heavy, she suddenly grinned and joked.

“Well, I guess this is natural, isn’t it? Deborah and Alisa are the main heroines, and I’m just a supporting character who fades into the background due to inflation. Huh?”

“I told you not to say things like that. If you put it that way, I’m an extra. Have you ever seen a main heroine end up with an extra? This isn’t a game.”

“But these days, it’s trendy for people to transmigrate into an extra and steal all of the protagonist’s fortuitous encounters and heroines, isn’t it? And then they even say, ‘Why is she so weak?’ ‘Why did she fall for me?’”

“That’s a novel! This is reality!”

Yes. Reality.

Except for when I first transmigrated, it was a thought that had almost vanished anyway, but I no longer considered this world a game.

As if sensing my resolve, Sara’s eyes widened before she waved her hand.

“I know. I was just joking. Why are you so serious?”

“It’s because Professor-nim keeps avoiding it. I know it’s frustrating to be stuck behind such a long wall, but cheer up. Professor-nim can do it. Definitely.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

She said thank you, but her expression didn’t show any belief.

Irritated, I ended up telling a white lie to encourage her.

“Will you believe me if I put it this way? Professor-nim even gained an awakening at the very end in the game. So you can do it.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. So stop thinking useless thoughts and let’s spar. Here I come!”

“Huh? Wa-wait! Aah!”

Before she could delve deeper, I swiftly charged and unleashed a flurry of attacks.

Sara, who was about to ask a question, ultimately couldn’t satisfy her curiosity and had to receive my fists amidst the storm of continuous assaults.

The sparring continued late into the evening.

*

Whoosh!

Warm streams of water gently caressed her overworked muscles as they flowed down.

Her firm yet feminine curves exuded an allure that no man could easily overlook.

“Haa…”

Sara exhaled a soft sigh and gazed at the small mirror in front of her.

Her own face was reflected there.

But her empty eyes were lost not in the mirror, but in her own thoughts.

-Professor-nim even gained an awakening at the very end in the game. So you can do it.

Ruan’s voice echoed.

His voice, comforting her with a serious expression, as if he didn’t like seeing her so disheartened.

But Sara knew.

That it was nothing but a lie.

Ruan had merely extended a hand to prevent her from despairing.

What he overlooked was that Sara knew even the approximate ending.

Even until the very end, she failed to gain an awakening and remained strictly a supporting character, only helping the protagonist and his companions.

Therefore, Ruan’s comfort was nothing more than false hope.

But then, why did she feel so happy?

Even though she knew it was a lie, why did his words give her courage and strengthen her will to move forward?

She didn’t know.

No, she shouldn’t know.

The moment she realized this, she wouldn’t be able to face Ruan with confidence anymore.

Because she would hate herself.

So she had to ignore it.

“Ruan…”

But regrettably, her body didn’t understand that at all.

Her mind was filled entirely with Ruan.

“I shouldn’t be doing this…”

When did it start?

When on earth did she start harboring such unforgivable feelings for Ruan?

She couldn’t pinpoint exactly when, but one thing was certain: she must never express these feelings to Ruan.

That was the price for hating, despising, and hurting Ruan.

All she could do was stay by his side and help him avoid trouble as much as possible.

However, human desires are endless.

“Just once…”

Her hands instinctively moved towards her breasts and vagina.

Just thinking about Ruan made her body burn, making it hard to endure.

In the past, before the misunderstanding was resolved, being violated every day was like hell, but now, she actually wished for it.

Of course, her conscience ultimately didn’t allow that much, but thanks to it, her sexual frustration reached its peak.

In the end, unable to endure it, Sara succumbed to her primal urges.

Squeeze!

Her breasts were crushed full in her grip.

Her hardened nipples pricked her palms, and Sara shivered with thrilling pleasure.

‘Not enough.’

Despite this, she wasn’t satisfied and immediately moved her other hand.

Squish!

“Haaah…!”

A burning sensation spread from her vagina.

Just a slight touch of her labia with her finger sent pleasure so intense it felt like her back might break.

Sticky arousal fluid dripped down her middle finger.

It was quickly washed away by the showerhead, but it was meaningless as the fluid continued to flow out incessantly.

Sara slowly extended her middle and ring fingers.

“…I’m sorry.”

And with that apology, she shed all hesitation and forcefully pushed her fingers into her vagina.

Plunge!

Her fingers plunged all the way in without the slightest resistance.

“Ungh! Uhh…!?”

Sara arched her head back towards the ceiling and cried out.

Her vagina clenched as if to sever her fingers, and her thighs trembled uncontrollably.

The pleasure was that immense.

‘Incredible…’

How long had it been since she was penetrated?

It was so long ago, she couldn’t even remember.

Sploosh! Sploosh!

It had been so long that she reached climax with just a single finger insertion.

“Ah, ahh…”

For a moment, Sara even forgot how to speak.

As she numbly savored the pleasure, she soon grew more greedy and began repeatedly thrusting her fingers.

“Ruan… Ruan…”

Repeating her disciple’s name over and over, she endlessly indulged in pleasure.

Once her brakes shattered, there was no stopping her.

She gripped her breasts, pinched her nipples, probed her vaginal walls, and pressed down on her clitoris.

She acted in a coordinated manner, as if trained, timely caressing her own erogenous zones.

Sploosh! Sploosh! Splooosh!

The fountain of fluid didn’t stop gushing.

The pace was so fast that she climaxed almost once every second.

The problem was that she still wasn’t satisfied.

‘This isn’t enough.’

For Sara, who had experienced Ruan’s penis, fingers were merely a substitute.

A far inferior substitute at that.

The sensation of being completely filled from the entrance to her womb was probably something no other man in this world could provide.

Only Ruan could.

Eventually, her patience ran out, and Sara increased her fingers to three, then four, ultimately performing the bizarre act of inserting her entire fist.

“Ugh… Agh! Aah!”

Her vagina expanded, swallowing her wrist.

Sara trembled at the breathless sensation, bending her back in a crouch.

It was still lacking compared to Ruan’s penis, but at least the feeling of completely filling her entrance was quite similar.

Sara sank to the floor and began earnestly thrusting her fist.

Sploosh! Sploosh! Splooosh!

Each time her fist violated her vaginal walls, a geyser of fluid erupted.

Her climax wouldn’t stop.

“Ugh… Hah!”

Sara watched the sight herself, feeling self-loathing and a sense of depravity.

‘What would Ruan say if he saw this?’

The very person, his teacher, who had once hated and denounced him, was now inserting her fist while crying out her disciple’s name.

She wondered if he would be shocked and disappointed, or if he would get excited and pounce on her.

If it were the former, it was obviously something to avoid, but if it were the latter… she would certainly be happy, but at the same time, she might feel even greater guilt.

Because that would be exploiting Ruan’s instincts.

“Haaht… Ugh! Kyaah!”

Sara continued to masturbate, imagining the scene if Ruan were to catch her.

It was a staggering five hours later when she finally exited the shower room.

*

On a sunny afternoon, I headed to Abel’s room with my lovers at his sudden summons.

Burst!

When I opened the door and entered, I saw the rest of our party already waiting.

I strode over and sat across from Abel.

“What’s wrong? You summoned everyone so suddenly.”

“Ah, sorry. Were you surprised? There’s something important I need to tell you.”

“Important?”

“Yeah.”

Abel nodded, looked around at everyone, and then cautiously began to tell a shocking story.

“Actually, the Holy Order decided to declare me as the Hero this weekend. They said they’ll also bestow the Holy Sword upon me.”

“Bestow the Holy Sword?”

The timing was faster than expected.

He was supposed to receive the Holy Sword after advancing to third year, so it seemed the Holy Order deliberately moved the date forward.

“Yeah. Sorry for keeping it a secret until now. The Holy Order told me to keep it absolutely confidential for my safety.”

I already knew, so it didn’t matter.

If I had to pick something slightly irritating, it was that Uni’s reaction suggested he had already told her.

Well, it’s natural to trust your lover more than your friends.

“Does that mean it’s no longer time to worry about your safety?”

“Yeah. The Dark Order has already noticed that I’m the Hero, they said. So there’s no longer a need to hide it. More importantly, the current atmosphere is unusual.”

After the Mage’s Banquet, the diminished activities of the Dark Order had become active again.

They hadn’t caused any particular incidents yet, but it felt like they were patiently waiting to carry out something big.

Calisto had also mentioned that something interesting would happen soon.

“That’s true. But are you okay? Once you’re declared the Hero, it’ll be hard to sleep soundly.”

“I guess there’s nothing I can do about that. Still, the Holy Order said they’d provide proper escorts, so I should be fine.”

“Well, do as you please with that. So why are you telling us this? Do you want us to attend?”

“Yeah. Could you attend on Sunday?”

Abel’s face was serious.

It seemed there was another reason, not just the attendance itself.

I vaguely guessed.

‘This guy. He’s scared.’

He was afraid that becoming known as the Hero would create a distance between him and his friends.

He probably wanted to confirm that their friendship was still strong by having them attend.

I nodded without hesitation.

“Alright. I don’t have anything else to do anyway, so I’ll attend.”

“Really? Thank you!”

“Don’t mention it. This is my chance to benefit from my friend, too. If I say I have a Hero friend, something might come my way.”

“Haha… I hope you won’t be disappointed.”

Abel awkwardly scratched the back of his head, as if he still hadn’t adjusted to the title of Hero.

Having secured my participation, Abel then began asking the other party members to attend as well.

And then, the day of the Hero’s declaration arrived.
