Chapter 1474: Chapter 1472: Starting the Class
Squeak~ Squeak~
A certain root-like substance pierced through the mattress (adhesive-type flesh mat) and entered the sleeping body of Han Dong.
It connected soundlessly through the spinal column, transmitting a nutrient derived from the Ancient Mountain, along with an added “dream service” that allowed Han Dong to personally experience life in the Ancient Mountain through his dreams.
Upon waking, the exhaustion brought about by travel and exams faded away along with the roots, leaving a sensation on his back similar to having cupping therapy.
However, at this moment, there was another distinct sensation.
A long, slender female goat leg rested entirely on Han Dong’s body.
The pure, natural feel of the goat’s wool paired with Sally’s nearly perfect leg proportions felt incredibly comfortable as it lay across him.
Moreover, the slightly writhing goat wool carried a certain warmth and flesh-like compatibility, its tactile sensation far surpassing any human-made premium fabric.
In contrast to Maritzis’s damp and fleshy long legs, Sally’s were of a totally different type. Both could easily score highly, though their satisfaction brought about completely different feelings.
Sleeping Sally merely draped one leg over Han Dong, keeping her face intentionally at a certain distance to avoid her horns disturbing his rest.
Soon after, Sally slowly opened her eyes, which gleamed with an eerie violet light.
Upon seeing Han Dong awake and lying beside her, she immediately rubbed her face and horns back and forth against his.
“Good morning~ Mi University’s faculty apartment is really cozy!” Sally stretched lazily, her legs and tail straightening out along with her body.
“Hmm, I need to get up quickly. In an hour and a half, I’ll be conducting my [first lecture] as a lecturer… I still need to do some preparation.”
Unexpectedly, Sally grabbed Han Dong’s arm, trapping him in the blankets.
“No need to rush. At your level, you can easily handle these common classes… Let’s chat in bed for a bit. Yesterday, you fell asleep as soon as you hit the bed—it was so boring.”
Recalling that he indeed had a few questions to ask Sally, Han Dong nodded in agreement, definitely not because having a goat leg draped across him felt comforting.
Han Dong recounted his visit to the Vice Chancellor the previous day in detail and then asked:
“Sally, I have a vague feeling that the Vice Chancellor seems to have some grievances against Pope, or perhaps the forces behind him—the Chancellor, to be precise. Am I imagining things?”
Sally’s hand stroked the surface of her horn, displaying a peculiar state of contemplation.
“Hmm~ Now that you mention it, I recall hearing something about this before.
It’s rumored that the Chancellor, due to various matters concerning the Void and the cosmos, spends most of his time away from the university, delegating responsibilities to the Vice Chancellor, faculty heads, and the central administration.
He only intervenes personally in matters of fundamental campus reform.”
Once, there was an extremely impactful campus revolt which involved many individuals, even including some well-regarded faculty and students.
The Vice Chancellor proposed retaining the excellent faculty and students, punishing them through measures like deducting credits or employee evaluations, or imposing confinement.
But the Chancellor took an indiscriminate approach and expelled all those involved in the revolt, including a student highly valued by the Vice Chancellor.
Perhaps because of this incident, the Vice Chancellor has harbored a grudge ever since.”
“A campus revolt? Who would dare stir up trouble in Mi University?”
“That, I don’t know. This incident happened before I joined the university. All related records have been completely deleted, and what’s passed around among faculty and students are just the words ‘campus revolt.’ No one knows exactly what happened.”
“Hmm.” Han Dong silently made a mental note of this.
“Did the Vice Chancellor really say he wants to use you to restrain Pope?”
“Not restrain, per se. It’s more about maintaining balance.
So Sally, if you want to follow me, you’ll need to disguise yourself… at the very least, fully conceal all traces of your Black Goat characteristics.
Can you cooperate?”
“Of course.”
…
“Worm Express”
To ensure teaching staff operate efficiently, a designated shuttle bus departs every five minutes from the faculty apartment to various areas of the campus.
On the rear dual-seater by the window.
With a crow perched on his shoulder and wearing black metal glasses, Han Dong gazed out of the ‘membrane window’ to take in the campus scenery en route.
However, Han Dong wasn’t riding alone this time. Beside him sat a mysterious woman.
She covered her mouth and nose with a black mask, serving a similar purpose to Han Dong’s glasses, enhancing an enigmatic aura while preventing sensory detection by others,
Her black single ponytail swayed back and forth with the vehicle’s slight movements (horns transformed),
She paired a blouse and bow tie for her upper body,
With a loose skirt and black stockings for her lower body (goat hoofs transformed),
From a human perspective, this was the image presented.
During the ride, her black-stockinged long legs rested entirely on Han Dong, and she occasionally leaned close to his ear to ask if her appearance seemed strange… Sally, having disguised her crucial goat hooves as human legs, initially found walking a bit tricky.
“Sally, do you really want to come to class with me?”
“I’ve temporarily applied for three months as a visiting scholar. I have the right to audit any course… Besides, there’s not much for me to do, it’s less boring being with you.”
“You’re probably close to reaching the Myth stage, aren’t you? Don’t you need to spend some time in seclusion at the school?”
Unexpectedly, when Han Dong mentioned the topic of myths, Sally’s face reddened, and several tentacles even emerged from beneath her black stockings.
“No need. I completed the final piece during the London Game.
Now… Now I just need to find an appropriate ‘catalyst’ to achieve the breakthrough.”
“Catalyst?”
“Hmm~ The catalyst… is you.”
Although Han Dong had a straightforward, masculine nature, he understood the meaning of this statement, “Hmm, if there’s anything I can help with, just let me know.”
…
[College of Biological Science and Engineering]
Traits like Eugenes’ were perfect for representing this college.
Not only as a Shoggoth—a protoplasmic creature artificially created through biological technology—but also possessing the ability of plague release.
From Sally’s explanation, it was known that Eugenes was once an outstanding graduate of this college, though their reputation wasn’t particularly good.
Currently.
In Classroom 0701 of the biology building, a total of fifty-two Demon students were seated.
Although their human-like forms were refracted through the prism effect,
Their behaviors and habits couldn’t be filtered out… Only in Mi University could one witness such sights.
Most students opted to “extract their eyeballs” and fix their optical vision on the lecture platform using built-in desk fixtures, ensuring they could fully absorb the lecture’s content.
Meanwhile, they secretly worked on ‘assignments’ under the desk.
This behavior was permitted.
Mi University students face tremendous academic pressure, making it impossible to complete assignments outside class hours alone.
This multitasking method of listening while working was considered a “basic skill.” If unable to perform to this standard, one could already apply for withdrawal from school.
At this moment.
With the sound of leather shoes echoing, someone walked into the classroom, stepping up to the podium.
The students momentarily paused their assignments, using saliva to clean their eyeballs to ensure clearer vision.
The lecturer standing before them was someone they had never seen before.
“My name is [George Nicholas]. From now on, I’ll be in charge of the course ‘Demon Structure Study.'”
