Heroine Hunts Heroines-Chapter 97
The day after I firmly assured Writer Yoo Eun-ha that I would never corrupt Rosaria, I found myself trembling with back pain at the Academy.
“Ughhhhhh…”
My tail. My tail! The one I usually pull out with flair during the second phase—it hurt so badly that I couldn’t even retract it.
Attending the Academy in this state? Absolute hell. No, it felt like my back was splitting apart. I had pushed my lower back way too far.
“Are you okay?”
“You alright?”
The vampire and the fire witch, the culprits who half-destroyed my tail yesterday, had the nerve to act concerned as they tried to comfort me.
“I’m not cross-dressing for a while. Got it? I mean, cross-dressing itself is fine, but I’m never turning my tail into a makeshift dick again. Understood?”
When I firmly warned them, Reyna and Han Suji pouted.
I’ll deal with them later, properly.
As I suffered through the insidious pain in my tail, morning passed, and Rebecca appeared at the lectern.
“Today is theory class. I’ll teach you the tricks for dealing with shielded monsters. To break them, you first need to understand shield magic. Shield magic is essentially about releasing your internal magic outward and using it to envelop yourself. Beginners often form it into a shield shape, but those with excellent control can form it as a barrier around their entire body.”
It had been a while since we had such a genuinely useful theory lesson.
Of course, for the strongest in this world—me, the dragon—and the heroines in this class, this lesson wasn’t exactly groundbreaking.
“Oh, so does that mean we’ll learn shields today?”

“Shield magic is primarily for long-range mages. Magic swordsmen can use it too, but it significantly reduces their damage output. That’s why no hunter bothers with magic swordsmanship. Only lunatics try it. Sure, some guild masters dabble in it, but copying them will get you killed in a dungeon.”
Magic swordsmen—those who wield both magic and swords simultaneously.
“So, Professor, does that mean we either need to avoid monsters until their magic runs out or hit them with stronger magic?”
An anonymous student from Class A raised their hand to ask.
“Well, that’s the straightforward method. It’s simple but surprisingly effective. Monsters with shields are usually high-level Cyclopes or Ogres. Note that lower-level Cyclopes don’t even have shields, so keep that in mind. As for high-level Cyclopes, their shields are generated by releasing magic through their eyes.”
So, the Cyclops I faced back then with the clumsy beauty was just a pushover.
“Since shields require precise magic control, if Cyclopes use their eyes for control, we can just disrupt their vision, right?”
“Exactly. Even if your attacks can’t penetrate their shields, repeatedly hitting their eyes with light projectiles will break the shield.”
Rebecca elaborated while writing the Cyclops strategy on the chalkboard. She also added that disrupting their vision simultaneously hinders their magic control and offense.
“What about Ogres?”
“High-level Ogres have thick lower bodies. However, their magic control isn’t exceptional, and they don’t have a large reserve of magic. That’s why their lower-body shields are very thin. A sword with even a small amount of magic can shatter it like brittle glass.”
Listening to this, it sounded like a solid strategy. But honestly, brute force solves everything.
At least for me, the baby dragon, and the heroines.
Instead of hiding that seductive body in a suit, wouldn’t it be more fun if Rebecca taught the class in a sexy outfit?
“And what about other monsters?”
“In mechanical dungeons, you’ll encounter Golems.”
“How do you defeat Golems?”
The class continued with students asking questions and Rebecca explaining.
Meanwhile, Choi Si-woo was grinning to herself, clearly enjoying something. I’ll make sure to properly deal with her later too.
“Golems are both simple and difficult. Their shields are controlled by the dungeon core. If you’re stronger than the Golems, you can smash through them. Otherwise, the best strategy is to rush and deactivate the dungeon core. Golems are slow and often return to their original positions after short chases. If you’re lucky, some rooms with Golems might even have the core. That’s why we’ll head to a mechanical dungeon this weekend.”
Were we just lucky in the dungeon we went to before? I didn’t hear about such detailed setups back then.
But why the weekend, of all times?
I raised my hand.
“Why the weekend, Professor?”
“Because Hansung Academy has been on break for a while.”
“Ah…”
So they’re trying to make up for the lost time by sacrificing our weekends.
“Besides, you’re in Class A, so you’re doing less. Classes B and below are all out on dungeon expeditions. The entire curriculum has been converted to practical training.”
They probably revamped the curriculum so aggressively to shed the Academy’s “Villain Academy” reputation. By producing talented individuals and dispatching them to guilds, they aim to prove that Hansung is thriving and villain-free.
Although, if Choi Si-woo is involved, it’s practically a Villain Academy in spirit.
“And today, Rosaria is here too. Doesn’t she need the chance to explore Korea’s dungeons?”
“Well, that’s true.”
Rosaria attending today was significant. From her seat by the window, Rosaria briefly met my gaze before quickly turning away with a scowl.
Rosaria being here meant one more pussy to grind on.
The only issue was that my tail was too damaged from overuse during my last cross-dressing stunt. Proper grinding would have to wait until I was fully recovered.
“Now that I think about it, should I make a move on Rosaria too?”
The problem is that guy, Allen. Originally, Rosaria was Choi Si-woo’s heroine, but now Si-woo is deeply entranced by me.
So before Allen gets to her British-imported pussy, I need to claim it for myself.
Just imagining Rosaria’s holy British pussy is driving me crazy.
Even though my tail is useless right now, my clit is throbbing, and my womb is trembling. The spot on my back where my tail connects? It’s aching painfully.
The idea that the world’s strongest weapon is incapacitated by too much sex? Truly pathetic.
Still, it seems I’ll have to push myself to secure Rosaria.
"That’s it for today’s theory class. From what I hear, you’ve already been to a few dungeons, haven’t you? I heard you absolutely crushed the Glass Dungeon boss."
Oh, that thing? It was ridiculously weak. Even if the cursed dolls had gone all out back then, we could’ve taken it down without breaking a sweat.
The real problem is the ones we haven’t faced yet.
"Yes."
"You might as well jump straight to A-rank dungeons. After all, sword saint users have probably already received training directly from the Association. Excluding Yoo Eun-ha, her crew, and the overseas students, everyone else can follow me."
Huh? Why are we excluded?
"What about us?"
"Logically, if you join, it’s overpowered. The other classes have already reserved all the practical dungeon slots. Even the Seoul Academy students, backed by the Blue House, have taken the remaining dungeons."
The Seoul Academy. In the original story, it eventually becomes a presidential hunter facility.
While Japan only has two academies, South Korea has three because the Seoul Academy was designed as a presidential tool.
It’s a secret facility created to avoid being manipulated by the Hunter Association, turning the Seoul Academy students into Ha Jung-seok’s unwitting pawns.
"So, what are we supposed to do?"
"Self-study."
"Wait, does that mean Rosaria is going to the dungeon too?"
No way. Even if my back is killing me, I need to spend time with Rosaria.
Sitting at the front, Rosaria flinched slightly at my words.
"Yes, Rosaria too."
"This can’t be happening…"
I hung my head in despair.
Behind me, I could feel Reyna’s intense glare burning into my back. I thought I saw Rey outside the window, but I convinced myself it was just my imagination.
"Why do you look like you’ve lost a kingdom? Logically, Rosaria has very little practical experience right now. Self-study isn’t an option for her."
"Sniffle… sniffle…"
It couldn’t be helped, I guess.
This was shaping up to be a situation where I’d need to sneak into the dungeon while cross-dressing. Difficult as it might be, it’s an excellent opportunity to claim the fallen saintess for myself.
"Oh, by the way, there’s something I haven’t mentioned."
Rebecca, leading the extra Class A students out, glanced back casually.
"Is there something you’d like to add, Professor?"
"You’re all aware of the current rumors about Baekhwa, right?"
When the word "Baekhwa" came out of Rebecca’s mouth, I lifted my head.
Hearing Baekhwa from her suggested the Association was stirring something up about it.
If the Association had taken action regarding Baekhwa after two failed expeditions, it meant…
"A monster leading survivors in Korea’s quarantine zones. That’s right, isn’t it?"
Even Kotone knew.
Why would Japan’s de facto leader care about Baekhwa in Korea?
Kotone only cares about Japan, and unless she plans to poach talented individuals from the Academy, she shouldn’t concern herself with Baekhwa in the quarantine zone.
Does this have something to do with Ha Jung-seok seeking Kotone’s help?
"You seem well-informed, Kotone. Yes, that girl."
"And why does she matter?"
"Well, she’s officially been registered as a villain by the Association. There’s a bounty of five billion won on her. You’ll find out soon enough through the news or online—it’s already trending. It’s probably on the Academy’s anonymous bulletin board as we speak."
Five billion won on my head? Why is it so high?
Low-tier villains only fetch hundreds of thousands to a few million at most.
I haven’t even done anything bad to the invaders; I’ve just messed with them a little before kicking them out.
I haven’t met Seo Ji-yeon yet, and the only real encounter would’ve been through Choi Si-woo’s side, so being on a wanted list doesn’t make sense.
"This is inconvenient… but hey, it’s a great chance to make some pocket money, isn’t it?"
For now, I’ll play dumb.
"Yoo Eun-ha, don’t even think about it. Yoo Jin-seok told me to stop you if you try crossing the barrier."
"Why doesn’t he come himself?"
What’s with this little brother act?
"That bastard. No, that idiot is busy comforting Bat Girl because she’s upset Baekhwa stole her first kiss. Anyway, I’m off. Use the Academy facilities as you see fit until it’s time to leave."
Rebecca walked off with the regular students.
I felt a sharp gaze burning into Rebecca’s back—it was Ping Tao. She muttered under her breath.
"Hmph! Isn’t it irresponsible for a professor to be so hands-off? If there’s nothing to teach, she should create something!"
She’s got a point, but efficiency-wise, I get it. If I were a professor, I’d focus on the regular students too.
If they tried to include me and the heroines, they’d only ruin the atmosphere, and creating a new curriculum would just exhaust the staff. For Rebecca, that’d mean exhausting her… well, let’s call it her feminine charm.
Ah, I want to experience it. What would a phantasm mage’s charm feel like?
Does Ping Tao even have room to talk? If she or Rosemary were average, maybe new curriculums could be justified for diplomacy’s sake. Rebecca probably knows their skill levels from the Glass Dungeon story, so there’s no reason to include overpowered characters in regular training.
If we were average, the overseas students wouldn’t have even bothered coming to this Academy.
"Wait a second."
Does this mean I can slack off until self-study ends?
Right now, the baby dragon just wanted to hold Choi Si-woo.
"Hey, Choi Si-woo, come here."
At my call, Choi Si-woo shuffled over to me. I naturally pulled her onto my lap.
"Why are you being so embarrassing♥?"
But when I touched her chest and abdomen, she let out a soft moan, clearly enjoying herself.
Her sensitivity had increased—an effect of her deepening lust.
She had completely fallen, becoming a submissive woman. Look at that: even her voice sparkled with hearts. Her womb is probably twitching right now.
A submissive woman’s descent into lust. It’s a rare and precious sight.
The baby dragon was already excited—tail and all!
Then, as my arousal surged, my tail felt like it might emerge.
"Ouch! My tail hurts!"
Even though it didn’t extend out, the sensation of it being stuck inside was enough to make me squirm.
