The first arc had finally ended. But unlike last ti, nothing grueso had happened.
Corin was captured and taken for a full-body examination to find out what had caused his transformation. The teachers wanted to check if he had been manipulated by soone or if his awakening had happened naturally.
anwhile, Esdeath repeated everything just like before. Especially the bath scene. But this ti, it wasn’t because she was afraid of causing a mistake in the tiline—it was because she *wanted* Lortell to touch her body all over again. The more, the better.
After that, when it was ti for classes, Maruti was sitting at the last bench in the middle row, waiting for Esdeath.
"Why isn’t she making contact?" she thought in irritation, tapping her fingers on the desk.
"She told to save everyone, but why? Aren’t we villains? We’re supposed to kill people, not protect them. Has she really gone soft? Or… is she just trying to impress Lortell?" Maruti narrowed her eyes in suspicion.
Before she could think further, the teacher walked in.
"Good morning, everyone," the teacher said with a warm smile.
The students imdiately stood up and greeted her.
"I know yesterday was a shocking day for all of you," she continued. "But today, I have so good news!"
She turned toward the classroom door with an expectant look.
A mont later, a student walked in.
It was a… girl?
No, not quite.
The person was of average height, with a cute and charming face. But the most striking feature was the pair of golden animal ears on her head.
And there was sothing else—sothing that stood out even more than her non-human features.
She wearing a male uniform.
That’s right.
She was actually a he.
The teacher turned back to the class and smiled.
"Please welco him. You might find this hard to believe, but this is your fellow classmate, Corin!"
A wave of shock swept through the classroom.
The sa Corin who had rampaged through the academy just yesterday—the sa Corin who had nearly killed several students—was now standing before them looking like a… femboy?!
"Wait, is that really Corin? How did he turn into a girl?" soone blurted out.
"No, no! He’s still a boy! His features just changed sohow!" Teacher replied.
The entire class was in an uproar. Eyes widened. Jaws dropped. So students rubbed their eyes as if they were hallucinating. Others whispered among themselves, trying to make sense of what they were seeing.
Corin, however, stood there awkwardly, his face expressionless as if he wanted to disappear into thin air.
The teacher smiled as she addressed the class.
"Actually, after examining his body, we discovered that Corin was manipulated by a mysterious person. He was drugged, and unfortunately, that triggered his awakening as a Wolfman," she explained, pausing for a mont before continuing.
"But don’t worry! He has fully regained his senses. There’s no ntal damage, and the academy has confird that he is stable. If anything happens, the academy will take full responsibility!"
She then glanced around the class, her voice firm yet gentle.
"So please, treat him like any other student."
There was a mont of silence before Corin stepped forward, his golden ears twitching slightly. He looked around the room, his expression unreadable.
"I’d like to forget the past and start fresh," he said in a soft voice. His voice had changed—it was gentler now, smoother, and almost… feminine.
"I hope you all can support ," he added before bowing slightly.
With that, he turned and walked to his seat. Every eye in the room followed him, but he ignored them, pretending not to notice the stares.
anwhile, Maruti sat at the back, staring at Corin with a complicated expression.
"Now I have to see a femboy every day?" she muttered under her breath, frowning.
She couldn't help but recall a mory from dozens of years ago—a mory that was burned into her mind.
For her, it was a nightmare.
Sothing so painful that it had scarred her for life.
Maruti quickly shook her head, forcing the thoughts away.
"No! I need to stay at least ten ters away from the femboy at all tis!" she decided, her face slightly pale.
But before she could even catch her breath, another headache entered the room.
Kaelith.
She strode into the classroom with confidence, her piercing gaze scanning the room like a queen inspecting her kingdom.
Corin, with his new appearance, clearly stood out. But Kaelith didn’t even spare him a second glance.
Instead, her sharp eyes landed directly on Maruti.
Raising an eyebrow, Kaelith walked straight toward her. Without hesitation, she sat down beside Maruti, crossing her arms with a smug expression.
"What a great day," she said, her voice dripping with satisfaction. "That annoying Esdeath isn’t here."
Then, leaning slightly closer, she smirked.
"Now do you understand who will always be by your side? A true friend!" She nodded, as if she had just given Maruti so great wisdom.
Maruti, on the other hand, buried her head into the desk, her shoulders trembling.
"Soone, please save !" she internally cried.
For the entire lecture, Kaelith stuck to her like glue.
Every ti Maruti tried to move even slightly, Kaelith would shift even closer, refusing to give her any space.
At one point, Kaelith even placed a hand on Maruti’s shoulder, gripping it lightly as if to say, You’re not going anywhere.
Maruti felt like her soul was slowly leaving her body.
After classes finally ended, Maruti sohow managed to escape from Kaelith’s clingy presence.
As she walked down the hallway, she kicked the air in frustration, muttering to herself,
"That Kaelith! Who does she think she is? Just because she’s the Silver Dragon, she acts all high and mighty! Hmph! If she’s the Silver Dragon, then I’ll beco a Golden Dragon and beat the crap out of her!"
She had said the sa thing last ti too, but there was one difference—back then, Esdeath was walking beside her. And instead of heading to the cafeteria like before, this ti she was going straight to Esdeath’s dorm room.
She had too many questions to ask.
As she reached the door, she didn’t even hesitate to knock. Instead, she slamd the door open.
"Yo! Fable, answer my questio—"
But before she could finish, her words got stuck in her throat.
The scene inside the room completely shocked her.
There should have been only two people in the room—Esdeath and Selene.
But there were three.
And the third person was none other than Corin.
Maruti’s eyes widened.
Corin was on all fours, like a chair.
And Esdeath…
Esdeath was casually sitting on his back, sipping tea like so tyrant queen.
Her outfit was different from usual too.
She was wearing a neatly buttoned white shirt that covered her arms and chest, making her look professional. Unlike before, she wasn’t showing even a hint of cleavage.
Instead of her usual skirt, she wore tight black pants—almost like jeans—that hugged every curve of her body perfectly.
Maruti was completely baffled.
"What the hell is happening?" she blurted out.
Esdeath paused mid-sip, then, without hesitation, she poured the rest of her tea onto Corin’s head.
The hot liquid soaked into his hair, but he didn’t react at all.
He just endured it.
Finally, Esdeath turned to look at Maruti.
"Great, isn’t it?" she asked with a smirk.
Maruti blinked.
"What?" she responded instinctively.
"My loyal slave, of course," Esdeath said proudly, patting Corin’s head.
Maruti stared at her in disbelief.
"When did you make him your slave?" she asked as she stepped into the room.
She didn’t ask how—because knowing Esdeath, she could definitely do sothing like this.
She just wanted to know when.
Before Esdeath could answer, a small voice interrupted.
"Mother, I wanna play with him too!"
Selene, who had been sitting beside Esdeath, tugged on her sleeve.
Esdeath smiled and gently ran her fingers through Selene’s hair.
"Not now, dear," she said softly. "I’ll let you play with him later."
Maruti sighed and sat down on the bed behind Esdeath.
"You still haven’t answered ," she said, crossing her arms.
Esdeath finally put her cup down.
"Just a few minutes ago," she answered casually.
Maruti narrowed her eyes.
"A few minutes ago? How?"
Esdeath chuckled.
"Hehehe… well, it’s a short story," she said, leaning back. "The reason I saved Corin in the first place… was because I wanted him as my slave."
She then started explaining.
When Corin had fainted, Esdeath hadn’t tried to make him her slave right away.
Because if she did, it would have caused a huge problem when the academy did a full-body inspection on him.
But she had already predicted that Corin wouldn’t ntion her na during the investigation.
And just like she expected, Corin had only talked about the mysterious person who manipulated him—he never said a word about Esdeath.
After the full-body check-up, the academy found no abnormalities.
And what had Esdeath been doing during that ti?
She had been preparing a killer move.
In fact, she hadn’t attended classes today because she had been finishing her plan.
She had spent four months of her lifespan refining A Loyalty Essence Stone.
Fused with a Slavery Essence Stone with Human Slavery and Wolfman slavery essence stone to creat a Wolfman slavery essence stone.
It was also backed by a Falling Morale & Demotivation Essence Stone, along with several others.
With all those combined…
She had finally created her killer move—
Loyal Slave.
But Esdeath never had any slave path Essence stone, Specially rare ones like human slavery essence stone and Demotivation and Falling moral.
So where did she get this?
If I were to answer this in one word–Then it would be–Lortell.
