“I’m sorry to disturb you…”
The woman, dressed in the white uniform of the Order of the Church, greeted Joey and stepped into his room.
“What exactly did you leave behind?”
Joey tilted his head, hiding his hands behind his back as he asked obediently from behind her.
“Don’t you worry, I’ll find it right away…”
The woman narrowed her squinty eyes and scanned the room.
Then…
“It is you! My Master!!!”
The squinty-eyed woman suddenly spun around to face Joey and lunged at him.
However, Joey was already prepared.
He dodged the woman’s attack and swung a heavy blow at the back of her head.
Clang!
“You were too careless…”
Joey spoke as he looked down at the unconscious woman.
He then proceeded to tie her up.
Thirty minutes later…
“Ugh…”
The woman opened her eyes.
She found herself tied up on the floor, while Joey sat on the bed opposite her, legs crossed and head resting on his hand as he watched her.
“Hey! Lord Saint Child! Why did you tie me up?!”
The woman hurriedly asked.
“Stop acting, Magic Sword… I know it’s you,” Joey said with an exasperated sigh.
Upon hearing this, the woman’s expression shifted from confusion to a smirk.
“Hehe… As expected of Master. Even with a disguise like this, you managed to find me out.”
“Hmph… You underestimated me too much.”
Joey shrugged his shoulders and spoke with an air of indifference.
In reality, he had been guessing.
He only knew that this squinty-eyed person was suspicious.
Zilan had previously told him that she wouldn’t let anyone contact him under any circumstances to prevent them from being bewitched.
Moreover, this person had squinty eyes. One look was enough to tell they weren’t a good person.
When Joey was tying the woman up, he saw the pendant wrapped around her hand.
He was very familiar with that specific magic.
It was his Magic Sword.
“Since I’ve been caught, I have nothing left to say,” the woman said, looking at Joey.
“I’ve heard everything. My Master has become the Saint Child. Even when I was standing at the door, I could smell your scent. It’s softer and sweeter than before… I really want to merge with you.”
“Master, you want to regain your power too, right? Then hurry up and wear this pendant I’ve turned into! I’ll definitely use my magic to take you out of here! Then we’ll return to the peak of our power!!!”
“…”
Joey looked at her with disdain and said, “I don’t want to. You’re saying all that, but you just want to take over my body through Body Snatching.”
“That’s not it!!!”
The woman shook her head vigorously.
“How could a Magic Sword ever betray its Master!!!”
Seeing the Magic Sword’s serious face and stubborn attitude, Joey raised his small foot in front of her eyes.
“Haa! Haa!!! Master’s little foot…”
In an instant, the woman’s face twisted into an expression of obsession.
“Hehe… So fragrant and soft… Haa! Haa!!!”
“See, you’re the same as before,” Joey said, rolling his eyes.
“Back then, whenever I was sleeping, you would slide your blade into my shoes and socks. It was disgusting. Every morning I’d wake up to find several holes in my socks. Later, you even recommended I wear leather boots, saying it was better for combat. In reality, it was just for your own convenience!!!”
“How could that be! I am a serious Magic Sword!” the Magic Sword hurriedly explained.
“I just… I can’t tell the difference when I’m sleeping. I often confuse Master’s socks with a scabbard.”
“You disgusting foot-fetish sword.”
Joey looked at her with contempt.
“Stay away from me. You’re gross.”
Seeing Joey’s blatant disdain, the Magic Sword’s expression gradually turned wicked.
“Master… I heard something else, too. I could feel it just now… Master’s magic has disappeared.”
The Magic Sword smiled and suddenly used all her strength to tear through the bedsheets Joey had used to bind her.
Boom!
“Eek!”
‘Does she still have this much strength even while turned into a pendant?! What is wrong with this Magic Sword?!’
The Magic Sword licked her lips and said, “Master… Since you won’t let me have your true self… I’ll just use someone else’s body to have some fun with you first!!!!”
The Magic Sword lunged and pinned Joey down.
“Wait… Wait a minute!!!”
The Protagonist desperately tried to push the tall woman away, but how could he resist without his magic?
“Oh! I’m going to eat a hot dog!”
“No! I won’t be violated by a sword!!!! Even… even if it were Aiki or Chiyang, it would be fine! But not a sword!!!!”
“Giggle… I’ve pinned you to the ground! Become my sex slave, Master!!!!”
“Aiki!! Chiyang!!! Save me!!!!”
***
Far away in the dormitory, Chiyang and Aiki were listening to Kail talk about the Saint Child when they both suddenly turned their heads in the same direction.
“Joey?”
“It was probably just the wind…”
***
Eventually, Joey, his clothes in disarray, managed to climb off the Magic Sword.
“Huff… Huff… That was terrifying. This bastard…”
Joey looked at the Magic Sword lying limp on the bed, then picked up the floppy pendant from her hand.
“I didn’t expect that even you could run out of magic.”
The Protagonist looked at the black, sword-shaped pendant.
It was no longer hard and cold like before, but soft like a Slime.
“Pant… Pant… It’s all because of the last teacher I possessed. She was an addict who used ice and ruined her body. It wasted a lot of my mental energy… plus I used all my strength just now to break those bindings. I’m out of magic.”
The squinty-eyed woman slowly stood up.
“Master… please give me another chance. I’ll definitely make you faint this time…”
“Get lost… Thank goodness. I almost got used as a scabbard by my own sword.”
Joey sighed in relief.
He had narrowly escaped being assaulted by this creature.
He then took down the curtains from his window, stripped the church uniform off the woman, and tied her up with the curtain fabric.
The Protagonist held the pendant and said, “The pendant loses its effect after being separated from the main body for one hour, right? I’ve heard quite a few Academy Legends lately about students mysteriously sleepwalking to strange places… It was you all along, wasn’t it?”
“I didn’t do it…” the Magic Sword said guiltily.
“You’re as easy to read as ever.”
Joey curled his lip and stuffed the Magic Sword into his bedside drawer.
“To keep you from hurting anyone else, you’ll stay here for now. Once I get in touch with Aiki and the others, I’ll have Arya destroy you.”
“Master! Master!! Your heart is so cold!!!! I clearly came here to help you!!! I’ll take you back to the peak of your glory!!!”
Joey pretended not to hear her.
He closed the drawer, put on the woman’s church uniform, and walked out of his room.
No matter what, it was better to find Chiyang and Aiki first.
Joey already had a mature plan in mind.
However, as he turned a corner, he bumped into something soft.
“Lord Saint Child… Where are you going?”
Zilan asked, her face shadowed and grim as she looked at Joey.
