I Teleported Into the Academy of a S*xy Game-Chapter 196: Girl’s Revenge (1)
Girl's Revenge (1)
After parting ways with Lee Hoyeon, Lucy made a quick stop at a hair salon before heading to Lumi's place. She felt there was no need to stick to her black hair anymore. When she returned to the salon just a few hours later, the hairdresser gave her an odd look, but Lucy simply smiled and avoided eye contact.
"Weren't you here earlier today?"
"Ahaha… Yes, that's right."
Sporting her new blue short hair felt a bit strange to Lucy, especially since it was such a departure from her previous style. As she left the salon, she pondered how to approach Lumi. The situation was complex, and explaining everything, from cutting her hair to her involvement with Lee Hoyeon, would be a lot to unpack.
Still, Lucy didn't want to put it off any longer. She headed straight to Lumi's dormitory. Since they had shared room passwords, she entered without hesitation. Inside, she found Lumi lying on the bed, engrossed in TV.
"Lucy?"
"Yeah, it's me."
"You've changed your hairstyle… It suits you."
"Thanks…"
Lucy paused, searching for the right words to begin. Finally, she spoke up, "You know, Lumi…"
Seeing Lucy finally break the silence, Lumi offered a slight smile, "This is about Hoyeon, isn't it?"
"How'd you know?"
"You always wear that expression when Hoyeon's involved."
"Actually…"
Lucy began to share her story, detailing her long-standing feelings of alienation, discovering Lumi and Hoyeon together at a motel, doubting them when they suggested they should date, and ultimately even disguising herself as Lumi to confess her feelings, and ended up having sex with with Hoyeon. She laid bare all her emotions and thoughts.
"I'm sorry. I'll never doubt you or Hoyeon again. I care about both of you."
Contrary to Lucy's fears, Lumi didn't react with anger.
"You did well, Lucy."
"No, I'm sorry. What I did was wrong."
"Ah, it's okay. I'm just glad that you and Hoyeon sorted out your feelings."
"Lumi…"
The twins held each other's hands tightly. The trust they'd built couldn't be broken by such an incident. That's why Lumi wasn't upset either.
"Lucy, you and Hoyeon… Did it feel good?"
"W-What do you mean?!"
Lumi chuckled as she looked at Lucy, recognizing that expression from her own first experience with such emotions. Today, she felt like she'd stepped into the role of the older sister.
"Let's do a threesome next time."
"L-Lumi…" Lucy was floored by Lumi's audacious idea. It was unlike her innocent younger sister to suggest something so bold.
"Do you think Hoyeon might be open to it? If we want to stand out, we need to put in some effort too…"
"You have a point…" Lucy found herself agreeing with Lumi. She couldn't help but think of the many attractive women around Lee Hoyeon. To outshine the competition, they'd have to leverage their unique qualities.
"Exactly, let's give it our all!"
"We've got this, Lumi."
The two locked eyes and shared a slight smile, their seriousness giving way to laughter. Today, the twins were strategizing to win over a certain man.

Meanwhile, in Lee Hoyeon's room the day after he watched the centaur.
Liliana went to stream from her room, and Scarlett received a call and disappeared somewhere. In the quiet living room, Nam Daeun was watching TV while holding Dahee. Since she was taking a break from the academy, she spent the entire day with her little sister.
[There continues to be revelations and whistleblowing about the Shin Young Guild. Among them, an interview with Park Mingyu, the guild leader of the Buyer's Guild, who bravely blew the whistle internally, is prepared. Let's watch together!]
[Hello, I'm Park Mingyu of the Buyer's Guild…]
"Sis, isn't that Uncle Mingyu?!"
"…"
Nam Dahee couldn't hide her shock at the familiar face.
On the TV screen was Park Mingyu. Daeun also knew the situation within the Buyer's Guild to some extent. They handled the dark side of large guilds, taking care of dirty work, and their biggest client was the Shin Young Guild.
[Weren't you concerned before making this revelation?]
[Of course, I was. It's not easy to turn a major guild into an enemy. But I wanted to let the public know about this darker side.]
[At the same time, the association has also expressed its intention to protect the Buyer's Guild as an internal whistleblower. Our broadcasting station also…]
They're probably planning to use this incident as an opportunity to climb up. Considering who he is, he always wanted to leave behind a less prestigious position and gain greater honor and wealth. The association is also quickly dealing with it to pretend it's unrelated.
"Dahee, let's watch something else."
"Sure."
Just before Nam Daeun changed the channel, she heard Park Mingyu's voice.
[I don't know how to put it into words. But I hope the world is filled with good intentions and good deeds…]
[Today's segment! Investigating Men and Women's Life!]
"I'll go to the bathroom, sis."
"Okay."
As she watched the comedy program filled with laughter, Nam Daeun felt nothing.
Somewhere along the line, Nam Daeun's heart had become empty. Like a broken jar, no matter how much she tried to fill it, her emotions seemed to leak out somewhere. The only piece left of the broken jar was her little sister, Nam Dahee.
She could only feel like her old self when she was with her, and her new connection, Lee Hoyeon. Being with him, her emotions began to revive little by little. Thanks to him, the sisters had escaped from Park Mingyu's clutches, but they were still trapped in this dormitory. Both she and Dahee were being pursued.
Goodwill. Good deeds. Help. Contribution. Service.
Those were the words Park Mingyu had spoken about. Nam Daeun didn't believe in such nonsense. If those nice words had spread earlier, she and her sister wouldn't have ended up in such a situation. She would have continued her normal school life, and Nam Dahee would have attended the academy without risking her life for grades.
"Ah, these bastards, seriously! Why did I have to lose! Why?!"
A cute voice echoed from the room. It was the voice of Liliana, the succubus.
"…"
Nam Daeun used to live her life always emotionless, but strangely, being around these people seemed to uplift her mood. They had shown her many good things and enabled her to repay Lee Hoyeon. Yet, the frustration still lingered deep in her heart.
Swish—
Then, she sensed a presence from the ceiling.
Thud—
As soon as Nam Daeun felt that presence, Scarlett appeared before her eyes. It was always surprising how skilled she was.
Scarlett tidied her hair and opened her mouth to speak, "Miss Daeun, you've been resting well?"
"Yes. What's going on?"
"You want revenge on Park Mingyu?"
"Yes..?"
"Follow me, Miss Daeun."
Upon hearing the name Park Mingyu from Scarlett's lips, Nam Daeun's heart began to beat rapidly. At the same time, the stone that had been lodged deep in Nam Daeun's heart began to move.

"Sigh… Finally, a break."
I was meditating alone in the quiet hospital room. Since hearing the news from Baek Ahyeong yesterday, I've been pondering and recalling the original work, but nothing came to mind.
"The past tribe… the tribe of the past?"
I had seriously considered having Scarlett investigate, but decided against it, fearing it would raise too many suspicions about me. It's a problem that can be resolved slowly.
Baek Ayoung's capture is already over, and she said she understood, so I don't need to worry. She also mentioned that person would come find me if needed. Since it's related to the tribe of the past, I don't think they'll harm me.
Anyway, my mana circuits have mostly recovered, and my discharge is near. Then, it's time to start dealing with the delayed matters, and the most important is still Nam Daeun. Of course, the other heroines are important too, but Park Mingyu needs to be dealt with quickly.
There's no telling what the Buyers Guild will do if left alone. Besides, this will free Nam Daeun and Nam Dahee from their influence.
Swish—
I felt the familiar flow of mana. It was Scarlett, whom I had summoned.
"Hoyeon, what's the matter… Hmm? You can use mana?"
"Yeah, my treatment is almost done. What are the others doing?"
"Miss Daeun and Dahee are probably resting in the dormitory. Liliana is streaming."
"I see… Do you remember what I told you before?"
I had previously given Scarlett instructions. To spread rumors that I'm with Nam Daeun and Nam Dahee. And I've also told her to deliver a personal letter to the leader of the Buyers Guild. The idea is to have her ready to act whenever I give the command.
"If it's related to Miss Daeun, the preparations are complete."
As expected, she was prepared like an ace.
"Looks like it's time to start moving."
It will be good to start working after being discharged, but I've become too famous. Right now, the interest in me is somewhat low because I'm hospitalized. But once I'm discharged, there will be immense attention. It will be better to handle things before that happens.
"Shall we move right away?"
"Hmm… No. Wait a moment, let's ask Daeun directly."
"Yes?"
"I don't want to make any rash decisions that could seem strange."
Even when giving birthday gifts, I'm the type to ask first. It's better to know Nam Daeun's intentions clearly before taking action.
Revenge comes in various forms. Whether it's just wanting the other person to suffer or wanting to end it with one's own hands. Asking directly might seem like a trivial matter, but I have a status window. I can find some answers through leading questions.
"Then, I'll bring Miss Daeun right away."
"Yes, it's not time yet."
I watched Scarlett leave through the window and began to meditate. I also needed to think about the questions to ask Nam Daeun.
