I Teleported Into the Academy of a S*xy Game

Chapter 173: Hospitalization (4)

Hospitalization (4)

“Yes, get on it right away. Send out the collected data to the reporters and have them start writing.”

[Yes, understood.]

“Make it quick.”

The chairman, having just exited the hospital, let out a sigh as he stepped into the awaiting vehicle where his longstanding secretary, Kim, was seated.

“You’ve arrived promptly, Chairman.”

“The issue was resolved in a timely manner.”

Kim, the secretary who had been by his side for many years, likely recently tied the knot.

“Secretary Kim, how old is your daughter?”

“A charming age, indeed.”

“It’s a joy to witness one’s child’s growth.”

The car smoothly navigated towards the chairman’s residence as he closed his eyes, pondering Lee Hoyeon’s words.

Recently, his own granddaughter had been increasingly distant. A mere ten years ago, she would trail behind him, affectionately calling him ‘grandpa.’ But now as an adult, she barely even looks him in the eye.

Ah, she was such an adorable child back then…

“Maybe having a great-grandchild wouldn’t be so bad.”

“Pardon?” Secretary Kim, assuming the chairman was addressing him, sought clarification.

“Secretary Kim, hypothetically speaking, how would you feel if your daughter were of marital age and expressed a desire to wed Lee Hoyeon?”

Secretary Kim knows about Lee Hoyeon’s promiscuous lifestyle. He’s asking if he would still agree to the marriage.

“Well… if it were up to me, I’d support my daughter’s choice in marriage. Every experience, even if less than ideal, contributes to one’s growth. And wouldn’t it be preferable for her to bring someone of Lee Hoyeon’s caliber home, rather than an ineffectual individual? Hehe.”

“Hmm…”

It does seem like a valid point. If my granddaughter ever marries, I’d want her to be with someone who’s competent—she’d be better off not ending up with some worthless guy.

Even if she were to marry Lee Hoyeon, I doubt she’d be easily swayed and manipulated.

“Great-grandchild… Hmm…” The chairman furrowed his brow, deep in thought.

***

On the day of the terrorist attack,

Alice’s mansion.

Taking a break, Alice was startled when Sebastian informed her that the social gathering had been targeted by terrorists.

“Did Lee Hoyeon attend as well?”

“Yes, he did. After thwarting the attack, he fell into a coma. Reports say he acted heroically.”

“I see… Alright, I’ll look into the details later. Go rest.”

“Understood. Please rest well.”

After the door closed and Sebastian left, Alice checked various news updates on her smartwatch.

While Lee Hoyeon’s actions surprised her, what really caught her eye was CCTV footage showing him shield Baek Ahyeong.

“He certainly is good-looking.”

He’s too handsome for his own good, sigh…

Lately, Alice had been feeling uneasy.

Under her desk, she had hidden Lee Hoyeon’s smartwatch, which she needed every night. Every time she looked at it, a certain arousal overcame her.

“Ugh… I’m getting wet…”

Upon learning that Lee Hoyeon was in a coma, Alice wondered, ‘What if he dies before overcoming this obstacle?’

A ludicrous thought, but Alice was genuinely concerned.

Unfamiliar with sexual matters, she worried that if Lee Hoyeon disappeared without addressing her arousal through his video and massages, she’d be in a difficult situation. While arousal could change over time, Alice wasn’t well-versed in that aspect.

“Maybe I should send him something for his health…” While considering a get-well gift, she had an idea: installing a hidden camera in his hospital room.

Knowing him, he might even invite women over.

A hospital room would be easier to access than a dorm, making filming simpler. If I obtained the footage… my nights could become even more satisfying.

“I should contact Scarlett…” Alice began typing a text to Scarlett’s personal number.

“Nurse, I’m feeling better now. Would it be okay for me to be discharged?” After the chairman exited, I addressed the nurse who came in for regular check-ups.

I even showed her, diligently stretching my body. Although my mana circuit hadn’t fully recovered, preventing me from using magic, being in the hospital was suffocating.

“You can’t leave yet. It’s barely been a day since you woke up. You need to stabilize.”

“How much longer will I have to stay?”

I wish I could have visitors; not seeing the other heroines was tough.

“Well, visiting isn’t allowed until the Saint gives the green light.”

“Really?”

“Your condition hasn’t sufficiently improved. But since you’re showing signs of getting better, I’ll discuss it with the Saint.”

“Could you ask her to come? Maybe seeing my condition will change her mind.”

“Alright then. The Saint mentioned to notify her immediately if anything related to you came up.”

“Thank you.” After the nurse departed, I reclined on the bed.

Is it really about my stability? I’ll have to see if it’s for my well-being or something else.

Knock, knock—

“It’s Baek Ahyeong. Can I come in, Lee Hoyeon?”

“Yes, come in.”

Creak—

Soon, Ahyeong walked in. She was in her usual yet alluring uniform, and sweat glistened on her forehead as if she had just wrapped up work.

“Hoyeon, how are you feeling?”

“I’m fine, really.”

I learned this hospital belonged to the Iron Blood Guild, and Ahyeong was working here, not at the infirmary, all for my sake. She’s in charge of the academy’s students, she said.

Closing the door softly, she approached me. “So, why did you call me? The nurse wanted me to check on you.”

“Well, now that I’m improving, I was hoping visits might be allowed.”

“I see… You have your reasons, I guess.” A tinge of disappointment colored her expression.

“Yeah, I’ve got a lot on my plate. There’s the terrorist attack, unresolved matters from the last Celestial Festival, and the nurse is under a lot of stress too.”

“If visits are permitted, will they be strictly business?”

“Not exactly…”

It’s unsettling. I’m afraid of that scrutinizing gaze.

“Other women will be visiting you, right…? I mean, ugh…” Ahyeong clung to me, burying her face in my chest.

“Darling, you’re always my number one.”

“Darling… Hmm…”

Feeling compelled, I uttered the invincible line. It seemed to work; she hugged me even tighter. I reciprocated, comforting her as she nestled against me.

After a few minutes of gently caressing her back, she looked up. “Fine, I get it… You have other commitments. I shouldn’t be so stubborn.”

“Thanks, Ahyeong.”

“Yeah… I want to be by your side too, but I’ve got responsibilities to handle. I need to clean up the mess I’ve made.”

“Okay.” Listening to her, I briefly glanced at her status window.

? Heroine Status Window

[Baek Ahyeong]

[Affection: 100] (+ 1.0)

[Lust: 76]

[Appetite: 35]

[Fatigue: 55]

Current Status: For the sake of a stable married life with my darling… I need to be committed to my job for now.

Thankfully, she still feels a sense of responsibility toward her job. It seems her desire to help others remains intact. With this, I shouldn’t have to worry about pregnancy.

“Yes, take good care of yourself, Ahyeong. You’re doing well.” Just to be safe, I added a few more words.

“Thanks. I’ll tell them visits can start from tomorrow. Based on your condition, looks like there’s no need for the on-duty nurse either, so I’ll handle that.”

Afterward, I chatted a bit more with her. She mentioned she had a lot to do and eventually left. The room fell eerily quiet once she was gone.

“It’s still a problem even after conquering her…”

Her affection level is at 100, so maybe that’s why she doesn’t seem too jealous. I’m curious if that tolerance will last when my roster of women goes beyond five… But I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.

I turned on my smartwatch and began to kill time. There wasn’t much else to do in this empty hospital room.

“There’s really nothing to see here.” After some time passed, I began to feel bored.

I’m tired of waiting for the academy to announce its decisions. I really hope visits will be allowed soon.

From Nam Daeun and Dahee to Alice, Lucy, Lumi, Professor Im Sol, and Moon Soorin—there were too many people to worry about.

Rustle—

Just then, I felt a familiar flow of mana. I couldn’t use mana, but I could still sense it. This was the special perk called Mana Sensitivity.

“Scarlett…?” As I spoke toward the ceiling, the mana flow ceased, and a tile on the ceiling opened.

Thud— Soon, a familiar blonde beauty landed gracefully on the floor.

“You’re quite something, Lee Hoyeon. Even with your mana circuit in shambles, you managed to sense me.” She brushed off some dust from her clothes as she addressed me.

“What’s going on…? Why are you here?”

“The security around your room suddenly weakened, so I sneaked in. I also have something to report.”

“Good job.”

It’s typical of her. I was already bored… huh?

The necklace around Scarlett’s neck was trembling slightly. Now that I looked closely, it was a necklace I recognized. I remembered it because I used to carry Liliana while she transformed into that necklace.

“Liliana?”

“Yes. All clear, Miss Lilliana, you can show yourself.”

Whoosh— A mist dispersed, and Liliana appeared beside Scarlett.

“Ah, finally! That was cramped.”

“Liliana!”

With Scarlet and Liliana here, my hospital stay might not be so boring after all. For the first time, I felt something akin to love toward Liliana.

“See, he’s as strong as I thought he’d be!”

“You’re right, Miss Liliana. I should’ve known…”

“He’s tougher than he looks. Otherwise, he’d have died a long time ago.”

“Hey, what are you talking about?” Interrupting their conversation, I chimed in.

“Scarlett was concerned about your safety, so I told her not to worry. You’re tough, and I know it. I totally wasn’t worried at all.”

“…?” As Liliana spoke, I decided to let it slide since she had come to see me.

“Scarlett, how are Nam Daeun and Dahee doing?”

Good, this is convenient. Nam Daeun is my main worry, but now that someone who’s well-informed is here.

“They’re resting in the dormitory. I checked on them before we left, and they were both sound asleep, cuddled up. By the way, there’s something else I need to report regarding them.”

“What is it?”

“They’re still clueless about why they were saved. I explained that it was done by a faction under your control, but I don’t know the exact reason since you didn’t disclose any.”

“You never disappoint, Scarlett. You’ve got a knack for handling things thoroughly. I’ll handle it from here.”

“Yes, I’ll bring Nam Daeun and Dahee here tomorrow.”

I’ve already prepared an explanation. Whether Nam Daeun will believe it or not is up in the air, but… it should work out.

“Anything else out of the ordinary?”

“Ah… come to think of it, I received a personal order from Miss Alice.”

“A personal order?”

“Yes, she wants me to set up a hidden camera in this room.”
