Perverted Supernatural Academy

Chapter 25

“Yes, that was instinct,” Dongming Taotie admitted. “Instinct made me so afraid of anything that smelled like a zombie that I was almost allergic to it. It was terrifying.”

Dong Chong smiled.

"By the way, I have a question."

"Um?"

"If you have such high abilities, why are you even studying here?" Judging from how he was killing zombies back then, his abilities were at least an A+. Why are you still here now? And his abilities during the internship weren't that great either...

"Why do you think I became like this?" Dong Chong snorted three times, clearly angered by his words. "If it weren't for saving you... if it weren't for saving you, you brat, would my abilities have been weakened to this extent!?"

"Huh?" Dongming Taotie was very puzzled.

"You think rebuilding your body was easy?! Using your vampire powers to synchronize with you and bring you back to life?! I only owed your grandparents a favor, and now I have to repay it to this extent..." Dong Chong was filled with remorse. That so-called favor was actually from when his grandparents, Dongming, were chasing him when they were young. Of course, they didn't succeed, and later they became friends. They would always use that incident to blackmail him, saying things like, "Not killing you is giving you a chance to reform"... Now look at him! He wished he had been killed back then!

Dongming Taotie laughed smugly and continued, "But I really have to thank you for surviving. Although I've been afraid of zombies ever since... I thought if I were stronger, I wouldn't be afraid, but it's not that simple. Even the lowest-level zombie still makes me tremble instinctively." But why hadn't he realized Dongchong was a zombie? And a drought demon at that?! Had his abilities degenerated to that extent? Or... was Dongchong the only zombie he could calmly accept?

Dong Chong smiled faintly: "So what do you want? To tremble for the rest of your life? Or do you want me to protect you for the rest of your life?"

"No need!" Dongming Taotie shook his fist at him. "I can protect myself! I'm a very confident man!"

Dong Chong made a scoffing gesture.

"But!" Dongming Taotie added a proviso, "I'll still be scared for a while. These instincts from so many years can't be changed overnight. Can you continue to save me until then? Don't let me get eaten again; that feeling is so painful!"

Dong Chong's expression changed. He grabbed Dong Ming Taotie's hair, ignoring his wails, and pulled his head to his side, whispering, "You have to protect your own body. I can protect you for a while, but not forever. Now you know, your body has had the abilities of a drought demon and a vampire since that time. You are royalty among vampires and zombies. From now on, you should protect yourself well and stop expecting me to help you."

"Oh no! What if I run into someone stronger than me!?"

“Our powers are connected. If I am strong, you will be strong too. I will be as strong as you are. But if we encounter someone stronger than you... I can't help it. I will run away first.”

"You coward!" Dongming Taotie angrily pointed at his nose. "How could you do this! We're good buddies! Good brothers! How could you say such heartless things!"

Even good buddies and brothers sometimes have to part ways. As the saying goes, "Brothers are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately." Didn't you abandon me and run away during my internship last time?

"That was out of necessity! Damn it! I'm not afraid of zombies anymore! I'm not afraid at all! I don't need someone like you anymore! I don't need your protection, you heartless bastard!"

Dongming Taotie, feeling indignant after reflecting on his actions, kicked Dongchong, who dodged. The two then engaged in a fierce battle in the room, with pillows and blankets flying everywhere.

The sky outside was beginning to brighten, and some people, despite being tone-deaf, started singing opera loudly. It was a peaceful scene, and the view under the sunlight was truly beautiful.

It's good that there's no bloodstain.

A pillow hit the wardrobe, and the wardrobe door creaked open a crack, revealing several blue-faced zombies standing side by side inside.

"Aa ...

"Hey! Let go of me...cough cough...I can't breathe!"

"Zombies—"

"Didn't you say you weren't afraid of zombies?"

"Isn't it wrong for an old illness to suddenly relapse?!"

"..."

It seems that the journey to cure zombie phobia is still "a long and arduous one..."

Keep it up, you two!

—The End of Chapter Four—

Chapter Five: My Sister's Visit

There is a terrifying thing in this world, and its name is "older sister"...

In November, Byte Academy finally showed signs of autumn. The leaves began to turn yellow, and a thick layer of leaves had already settled under the trees that had shed their leaves earlier.

Busy with their studies and protecting themselves from being killed, Pei Linhai and Lou Lifan were completely unaware of the drastic changes about to occur in their lives. They continued to attend classes and undergo special training in a leisurely manner. Occasionally, when Pei Linhai made a mistake again, he would still be severely punished by Lou Lifan, who "couldn't help but feel a little emotional." The Dongming Taotie incident happened to be resolved by Yu Jia (barely qualifying) while they were asleep that night. Although Dongming Taotie avoided Yu Jia from then on, he greatly admired Lou Lifan. His most frequent phrase was, "Lifan! You're really amazing! Even your subordinate shikigami are so... so... so..."

Lou Lifan was thoroughly annoyed by this kid's endless flattery. He wasn't some foolish emperor who had nothing better to do than listen to his nonsense all day! When he got annoyed, he would release Yu Jiapinjia and the other two to "build a relationship" with him. The useless kid would run away as soon as he saw them, but as soon as they were taken back, he would immediately reappear and continue his singing and praising.

"What exactly do you want!" One day, Lou Lifan finally lost his patience. He didn't even need Yu Jia and Pin Jia to deal with him anymore. He personally grabbed the guy's neck and shook him violently back and forth. "Why don't you spend your time playing with your roommate's zombies! You dare to come here and cause trouble for me! I'll strangle you—!"

"Li Fan! Li Fan! No, no! Don't really strangle him to death!" Pei Linhai hugged Lou Li Fan from behind, desperately pulling him back. "He is annoying, that's true! But if you kill him, we won't be able to explain it to the principal!"

"I'll hide his body well! Don't worry!" Lou Lifan wanted to pounce on him again.

Pei Linhai was almost in tears: "Li Fan! You really can't kill him! It's not about the body! If you have a murder record, you won't be able to graduate!"

Lou Lifan's fingers lingered on Dongming Taotie's neck for a long time before finally releasing them: "Oh right..."

People who have killed others will be surrounded by malevolent energy. Anyone who possesses such energy will be barred from receiving a graduation certificate from any paranormal academy and will be permanently disqualified from taking the professional paranormal exam.

Dongming Taotie had no idea that he had just escaped death. He happily patted Lou Lifan on the shoulder: "I knew it! Lifan! You won't kill me! We're friends! Someone like me, who would go to great lengths for a friend, is a good person and capable, no one would dislike me! Also, I'm a really good person, if anything happens to you..." The following 3,200 words of self-praise are omitted.

"...I don't care! If I don't get my diploma, so be it! I'll just take the witch's license exam later!" She was so angry she was practically delirious...

"Li Fan! Stop!"

Under Pei Linhai's protection, the unharmed Dongming Taotie hummed a tune as he left the murderous 333 room, walked out of their dormitory building, and prepared to return to his own room. But before he did, he glanced at his watch and suddenly remembered that Dong Chong had taken an extra zombie-making course, and he shouldn't have finished class yet, so the zombie should still be in his room…

The thought of it gave him a terrible headache. These conditioned reflexes from so many years couldn't be overcome overnight; he couldn't expect to be immune to them immediately. But he didn't have many friends, and even among them, aside from Dong Chong, almost no one noticed him before he spoke. Plus, he was too lazy to cultivate these relationships. Only now did he realize that he had practically nowhere to go. So he decided not to go anywhere and just wander around the school.

Three women dragging huge boxes appeared at the entrance of Byte Paranormal Academy.

To be more specific, the scene was like this: strange dark clouds suddenly rolled up in the originally azure sky, the wind picked up, and the cold wind carried snowflakes of leaves that swirled around. Then, the three women suddenly appeared on the only path outside the school, each dragging a suitcase twice their size, walking towards the school like snails, arguing endlessly as they went.

A woman with her hair tied up in a high bun, wearing a black robe embroidered with gold thread, dragged her suitcase angrily while cursing, "Damn Li Jia! You said you were the best at spatial teleportation! Now look what happened! We spent a whole month in Las Vegas! We might as well have come by airship!"

"Is it my fault?! Is it my fault?!" A woman with a long headscarf covering her face, leaving only her eyes visible, and her body wrapped in a colorful scarf that accentuated her curves but exposed her arms, raised her fist and retorted, "I told you I needed proper guidance! I told you not to think about anything else, but you and Li Ya were thinking about handsome men and gambling respectively, you were even drooling! How could I not go to Las Vegas!"

"It was Li Yan who was drooling." The cool and beautiful woman with black hair that reached her waist, dressed in a red top and white pants, immediately clarified, "I was just thinking that if we had won the bet back then, wouldn't we have just taken the spaceship here? Why bother with all the effort of spatial teleportation..."

"Still talking! Still talking!" Lou Lijia roared, "It's all your fault! You two insisted on gambling with Dad! Now look what happened! We've lost our travel expenses! And we even owe him ten years' worth of wages!"

Lou Liyan was very dissatisfied: "Hey! Didn't I already win back my salary from those ten years in Las Vegas? You had a great time too, didn't you mention leaving even once during that whole month?" Lou Liya immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right! We honestly won it back, and we even won back a free ten-day trip to Las Vegas with all the food, accommodation, and entertainment! Yay!"

Lou Lijia didn't say anything more, because she had lost at least nine figures there and was almost captured and sold. It was only thanks to these two sisters, who were either extremely unlucky or extremely lucky, that she won back her money. Otherwise... The three of them were the three devils that Lou Lifan always mentioned—the eldest sister of the Lou family, Li Yan; the second sister of the Lou family, Li Jia; and the third sister of the Lou family, Li Ya.

Lou Liyan is a high-level fortune teller. Her predictions are 99% accurate, except for the 1% that she cannot predict about herself. She is currently dating a judge in a paranormal court and they plan to get married in about a year.

Lou Lijia is a high-level sensory user. Given access to relevant materials, she can sense all information related to those materials. Her interest lies in using this ability to spy on people's private matters. She is currently dating a paranormal hunter, and they plan to become a couple, using their respective abilities to hunt down paranormal individuals wanted with bounties—good or bad!

Lou Liya is a pure witch, born with the ability to use various forms of magic, a magical genius, and currently working at the Witch Research Institute. Her biggest headache right now is how to get rid of a group of little witches whose worship of her abilities has turned into love, and who now have none.

Dragging their enormous luggage, the three women finally arrived at the school gate.

"Ah! We've finally arrived!" the three exclaimed in unison. Their weary bodies and minds could finally relax here!

At that moment, a chill ran down Lou Lifan's spine. He knew this was definitely an ominous premonition! But... he looked around, and the only person in the room was Pei Linhai, who was being "instructed" by him until his eyes were filled with tears. There was nothing unusual about him. "It must be my imagination," he thought.

The gates of this perverse academy are never closed; the only barrier is the enchantment at the entrance, allowing only those with abilities exceeding a certain level to enter. This, of course, posed no challenge to the three former students who had graduated smoothly and happily; the three of them effortlessly dragged their suitcases into the school.

However, what's really troubling them isn't the school, but Lou Lifan. To prevent their harassment, he hasn't written a single letter or made a single phone call since moving into the school. They still don't even know which building he lives in.

The school currently has about 8,000 students in 15 dormitory buildings, each five stories high with 50 rooms per floor. If you exclude second-, third-, and fourth-year students and graduate students, there are still nearly 4,000 students. Finding someone would be incredibly difficult! Moreover, in this strange academy, student accommodation isn't arranged by year of study, but rather by a lottery system drawn upon enrollment; there's no pattern whatsoever, making it very challenging to locate anyone.

"What should we do?" Lou Lijia was sweltering under the headscarf covering her head and face, and she frantically fanned herself with her hands. "Should we go find Byte?"

"Which Byte?" the other two asked her in unison.

This school has many Bytes: one for the principal, one in each dormitory building, one for the school doctor in the infirmary, and another for the guard of the "ghost gate" on the back mountain... Although their ages and genders are completely different, they all look very similar, and their perverted hobbies and habits are also very similar. When they were students here before, they used to make bets about whether they were all relatives of that perverted principal or whether they were definitely alter egos of the perverted principal, but of course, they never got an answer.

"Of course it's the dormitory manager!" Lou Lijia glared at them. "She definitely knows best which dormitory each student lives in."

"Great idea!"

However, it would be quite unsightly for three very charming beauties to drag around such a large suitcase, so they decided to dump the stuff on some unfortunate guy so they could travel light.

The three of them didn't need to communicate about this kind of thing at all. Even without saying a word, they knew what the others were up to and immediately started looking around for a suitable sucker.

There are always some unfortunate people in this world who are not discovered when they should be, but are often unlucky enough to be seen by misfortune when they shouldn't be. — For example, the gluttonous beast Dongming.

He was faithfully fulfilling his promise, leisurely strolling around the school—yes, literally, strolling around.

When the three beautiful women spotted him, he was wandering around the central garden. He accidentally bumped into a tree, got up dizzily, and continued wandering.

What is he doing?

"I wonder, is it some kind of special ability that you're cultivating?"

"I guess so."

Only God knows, he was just bored.

"Then let's go with him."

"Should we cast a spell on him?" he asked, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.

"No need! With the charm of beautiful women here, there's no need for spells!"

Lou Liyan, quite pleased with herself, took the lead. She walked a few steps forward, stopped five meters away from him, and with a sway of her beautiful waist, struck a seductive pose: "Hi! Handsome guy—"

Dongming Taotie did not react. It wasn't that he was arrogant, nor that he didn't hear, but rather that he was used to being ignored, and even if someone suddenly called him, he would assume that someone else was being called.

The eldest sister's pride was severely hurt, especially after hearing her two younger sisters snickering behind her back.

"Hey! You spinning around!" Since being gentle won't work, I'll have to try being forceful! Damn it! How dare she ruin my image like that! "Stop right there! This beautiful lady needs to talk to you!"

Two men, who had been captivated by her earlier demeanor and were about to offer her their attentions, were startled by her harsh words and realized they dared not provoke her, so they slunk away.

Dongming Taotie stopped circling, looked around, and seemed to think that he was the only one circling here. He pointed to himself, opened his mouth, and made a shocked expression: "You called me? You can see me?"

"You're talking nonsense!" I'm not blind, and you're not invisible, so why can't I see you?! "Hey! I'm asking you, are you willing to help this beautiful lady?"

Dongming Taotie patiently explained, "My name is Dongming Taotie. You can call me Taotie or something else, but please don't call me 'Hey,' it doesn't sound very nice."

Lou Liyan flew into a rage, her exquisitely beautiful face filled with a murderous aura: "I don't care what you're called! Speak! Are you willing to help me or not!" Her hand flashed in the air, and somehow she pulled out a long sword, pressing it against Dongming Taotie's "lower part": "Speak quickly! Otherwise..."

"Oh dear, why bother with swords and spears?" Dongming Taotie spread his hands in a gesture of surrender, completely oblivious to the situation. "Actually, I really like beautiful women, but if they're too hot, you won't be able to find a boyfriend. Men are afraid of women who are too fierce."

Lou Liyan was so angry that her head was practically steaming, while the two women behind her were whispering and gloating.

"Ah, my sister has finally grown old."

"That's right! Seduction doesn't work on little boys anymore."

"Luckily, my brother-in-law isn't afraid of her being old, even though she's old and fierce..."

"Otherwise, it really might be just like that kid said... Oh ho ho ho ho..."

Enraged, Lou Liyan forgot she was wearing a golden silk robe and had to maintain a dignified appearance. Without a word, she unleashed a series of swift, rapid thrusts with her sword. Dongming Taotie, not expecting her to attack so suddenly, was startled and quickly retreated, dodging the first three strikes. However, he couldn't dodge the fourth; with a sharp tear, his belt was slashed through by her sword.
