My On*Hole Academy [EN]: Chapter 316

EP.316 Miho of Bewilderment

*

Quintia, having skipped afternoon class with Sanghyuk and returned later, found herself the subject of strange attention in the classroom.

Her failed reconciliation with Isolde had become a juicy story, distorted and embellished as it spread.

Quintia’s reputation was plummeting.

“What nerve does she have to show her face?”

“She’s really awful.”

“Her personality is trash.”

“It’s disgusting how she acts all high and mighty just because she’s an S-class…”

Even after navigating the academy’s cutthroat ranking system, Quintia remained an outsider.

Her once-great family had fallen from grace after her mother’s disappearance and presumed death, rendering them insignificant. Her exceptional talents and swordsmanship had previously allowed her eccentric behavior to go unnoticed, but her thoughtless actions had accumulated over time.

Within the academy, hating the Sword Saint’s daughter was becoming a trend.

Quintia was well aware of this.

“She’s so shamelessly bold.”

“If it were me, I would have been too embarrassed to come back.”

‘I don’t care. Say what you want.’

The more they criticized, the more confidently Quintia acted.

She didn’t care about her image.

She refused to give those who wanted her to apologize the satisfaction of seeing her humbled. She consistently maintained an attitude that others perceived as terribly brazen.

Quintia herself didn’t realize it, but…

‘I…….’

She had already rejected the norms of the mundane world, what they called 『modern times』.

It was more comfortable this way.

At least, she no longer felt the need to play the kind-hearted girl seeking revenge.

In the first place, it wasn’t that important of an element to her.

However, even Quintia felt a pang when Isolde passed by. An unpleasant feeling washed over her, and she felt like she was about to cry.

‘I sincerely apologized….’

It seemed incredibly presumptuous to approach her again.

Instead, she looked at Isolde with a stern expression. Isolde, for her part, felt sorry that the situation had escalated this far, but…

Now, they were silently keeping their mouths shut and looking at each other with unknown expressions, and there was no opportunity to approach and reveal their true feelings.

Misunderstandings piled up.

Quintia eventually chose to quietly accept all of this as punishment for causing misunderstandings.

She thought that if she ignored it, it would eventually pass.

“Your mother is fighting to the death, but why aren’t you doing anything? Are you even the Sword Saint’s daughter?”

Swish!

Quintia whirled around.

Isolde was simply passing by. There was no way she would have said that.

‘……What was that just now?’

The sun was setting.

The thought of her mother occasionally came to mind.

After hearing that she was alive, it kept coming to mind.

‘Mom. I’ll be able to see you soon.’

When she returned home, the house was empty.

It had been a while since she decided to live alone. Other than the occasional cleaning lady, there was no one.

Usually, she simply boiled ramen and went to bed. Tonight, that didn’t feel like enough.

‘The meat I ate with Sanghyuk was delicious.’

…I want to eat it again.

She had learned that you could buy things like that with money.

Snacking doesn’t seem so bad either….

‘I’ve been avoiding everything that’s inefficient….’

The food in the advertisements. What does it taste like?

She imagined it for a moment.

“Can you enjoy such happiness and luxury? Your mother is still crying out in pain.”

Quintia flinched.

Quintia looked around.

No one was there.

‘Hallucination……?’

It definitely… sounded like it….

“You have to go see your mother, Quintia.”

The hallucination grew louder.

At first, it was in someone else’s voice, then in her own voice….

“You have to go see your mother, Quintia.”

…….

“Save me. Quintia.”

In the end, it was her mother’s voice.

“Stop it!”

Quintia curled up.

“I’m not going. It’s okay. Everything is going smoothly.”

“Really? Do you believe what that slick guy said?”

“Kim Sanghyuk is a good person! He’s a warm person.”

I think I’m going crazy.

Actually, I thought it wouldn’t be strange if I went crazy at any moment.

Or even if I had already gone crazy, I would have calmly accepted it, ‘Oh, I see.’

Quintia seemed to know very well that she was different from other people.

It’s not about talent.

Everything is twisted.

「The child is very kind, just like her mother.」

「In the future, she will become an amazing hunter, a hero that others respect.」

「Just like that Sword Saint, Eustia.」

“Ugh…. Ueeck!”

Quintia threw up everything she had eaten into the toilet and closed her eyes.

Interviews with reporters often came to mind.

Meetings with reporters cannot be refused in order to fine-tune and maintain the concept.

Was this version 1.13…….

Update is needed.

If I don’t update, there will be conflicts.

‘My heart hurts….’

「You punk. And, kids who lose their parents at that age are just unlucky.」

Am I unlucky?

“Quintia. Aren’t you going to save your mother?”

“Stop it….”

I promised.

I have to go with Sanghyuk…….

Don’t break the promise.

“Quintia. Save your mother.”

I promised not to go.

「Then it’s okay. Your mother is. From now on, always stay by my side. I’ll let you meet her the fastest in the world.」

“Quintia is the only one your mother can trust. Why won’t you listen to me?”

“……S, Sanghyuk….”

Quintia picked up her phone with trembling hands and dropped it.

I hear strange voices. I don’t think I’m normal.

“Ah.”

After struggling for a few minutes to grab the phone that had gone under the refrigerator,

Fighting the hallucinations, she picked up the phone again, but….

“I don’t know Sanghyuk’s number…….”

There were no numbers registered on her phone.

“Save me.”

“Ugh, ha…….”

Quintia curled up in her blanket and fought the voice in her head.

No matter how hard she tried to block it, her mother’s voice became clearer and clearer, as if it were directly echoing in her brain.

“Save me. Save my mother.”

「You can endure it well, right? Quintia」

「Yes」

「Promise me, pinky swear」

“Save me. Save me. Save me. Save me. Save me. Save me.”

…….

When Quintia came to her senses, she was outside.

Her eyes, still in her school uniform and with a sharp sword in her hand, were filled with murderous intent.

I’m going.

I’m going to the domain.

She heads to the place where the red haze spreads.

“I’m going now. Mom.”

Quintia threw herself forward.

Surprisingly, there were no monsters on the way. The road was clearly visible as if it were open in front of her.

She just threw herself towards the place where she heard the voice.

The night view of the academy and downtown Seoul gradually faded away.

Coming into the expanding red haze, this place is like a maze stacked upon maze.

The existing sense of space becomes meaningless, and the same place continues to unfold.

As Quintia stepped into the 『Cosmic Domain』, a long-haired woman in white mourning clothes walked out as if to greet her.

Black hair and fascinating iridescent eyes. Pink light spreads from her seductive eyes that seem to seduce anyone, regardless of gender or age.

It was a very provocative magic.

“Did you come to save your mother?”

Quintia recognized the owner of the voice.

She was a pretty person with pink eyes. But she wasn’t her mother.

Her mother’s eyes were always a burning crimson.

Like me.

“Shall we go to Mom? Quintia.”

“Who are you….”

“The person who will take you to your mother.”

“…….”

『Insight・Crimson』

Quintia’s crimson eyes burned red.

「Quintia! Mom always told you to focus on your eyes, right? Look properly, then swing your sword!」

「What are you doing to a 4-year-old…」

「It’s a toy sword. It’s early education.」

「Quintia is more interested in reading letters, right? Shall we read a book with Dad?」

Quintia 「sees」 everything.

She has always believed that there is nothing that these eyes cannot see through.

There were many monsters hiding near the woman, holding their breath.

If the explorer of the galaxy that was dealt with during the day was just a scout, these were for combat.

『Destroyer of the Galaxy』

Those with quadrupedal locomotion and disproportionately developed limbs,

They bared their shark-like circular toothed teeth and pounced on Quintia like beasts.

As dozens of monsters larger than large bears covered Quintia, she felt dizzy. Everyone was sure that the girl’s fate was death.

“Sixth Island, Eight Thunder!”

Along with a slash that tore through space, the monster’s body scattered.

“Kya, kyaak!!”

Miho was startled and stomped her feet.

“Belsted! Nine! Ah, that’s right. They’re not here…… Hwaeng! She’s so strong……?! Guys, go further!”

It was good to have lured her this far,

Quintia’s combat power was beyond expectation.

Quintia, who was full of anger at the mention of her mother, swung her sword as if she would kill everything she touched.

“Die! Die!”

The monster’s corpse piled up like a mountain.

Miho’s eyes shone even more wickedly.

[Mind Control, Release]

It doesn’t work.

“Hic!”

The provocation worked too well!!

Quintia gracefully parried the monsters’ angry charge like a matador, swinging her sword.

Who would think that the sword was full of hatred when looking at that figure, that beautiful movement?

“Don’t let me come this far!!”

Miho shouted almost screaming.

Then the destroyers overturned the ground and swallowed the buildings.

In that situation where ordinary humans would be crushed to death by the aftermath of the magic and rampaging power emitted by the destroyers.

Quintia saw and read everything with her eyes.

She finds a narrow path, throws herself, and swings her sword to escape.

Miho sensed it.

‘I can’t catch her with my skills. Queen!!’

I thought it was impossible from the beginning.

Bring the Sword Saint’s daughter!

But what can I do if I’m told to do it?

Miho was very anxious when she realized that Nine and Belsted had switched to other affiliations.

The higher-ups don’t care whether the lower-level employees are cut off or not.

From the employee’s point of view, suddenly the colleagues who were working on the project suddenly took their desks without even saying hello, let alone handing over the work, how uneasy would they be?

What is it? Is this company going to go bankrupt?

I wanted to meet Nine and Belsted right now and hear what happened…….

The Queen’s only concern is that woman.

Sword Saint Eustia.

If she could make Eustia betray her, the Queen would probably do anything.

That’s why she came back here, taking advantage of Eustia’s weakened state.

‘The Queen only wants the Sword Saint’s relatives…….’

I thought it wouldn’t be too difficult to steal a young girl.

Since I even know the family relationship,

Using the 「mouth」 gift I received from the Queen…… it’s enough to imitate the Sword Saint’s voice.

However.

I never thought this would happen.

“You’re next.”

Quintia brutally slaughtered the monsters and shook her sword in the air.

‘……I, I didn’t want to do this!’

Miho, who was on the verge of being cut in half, head and torso, transformed into the Sword Saint as soon as Quintia approached.

“A, are you going to kill your mother?!”

“…….”

Quintia stopped abruptly.

‘Did it work?!’

The effect was outstanding.

‘This kid’s weakness is her mentality!’

Insight turns off. Quintia was full of loopholes. Miho returned to her original form and slashed Quintia with her fingernails.

The pillars and buildings across Quintia’s body were cut off like diced radishes.

Quintia was covered in blood and rolled on the floor.

‘Okay. Now if I take her…….’

At that time, Miho felt a chilling sensation as if her spinal cord was freezing.

The air seeping into the oral mucosa is cold.

Someone is coming here…….

“……R, run awayyyyy!”

Faster than anyone!

Miho ran away without even caring that her big breasts were shaking.
