The surgery was a success!

The Academic Affairs Office.

With Lin En claiming ignorance of everything and looking utterly nonchalant, they could get nothing out of him. In the end, they could only send him back to class.

Only after calling in several more students and comparing their accounts did they get a rough idea of what had happened.

"So Loren really did provoke him first, and Lin Ke only kicked Loren badly enough to seriously injure him because he was forced to fight back?"

One teacher sounded doubtful.

"Didn't he say why? Even provocation has to have a reason, doesn't it?"

The last student they had called in, the girl who sat in front of Lin En, stared wide-eyed and said:

"Uh... no. He'd barely opened his mouth before Lin Ke slammed him."

The three teachers' faces darkened.

"So they had a fight, and we don't even know the actual reason?!"

Was this some kind of joke?

"But that doesn't make sense."

One of the teachers spoke in a low voice.

"Loren has always been a little unruly, but ever since his second Sequence awakened as [weak egg], he's reined himself in considerably. Even if he really did have some issue with Lin Ke, he wouldn't start a fight in front of that many classmates, would he?"

Not to mention...

He had used his Sequence right from the outset.

Under the Arcane Academy's rules, that was an extremely serious disciplinary violation. In severe cases, it could even lead to expulsion. As a third-year student here, he couldn't possibly have been unaware of that.

Besides...

Hadn't Lin Ke always been rather withdrawn and never caused trouble? Yet today, he had actually started throwing blows.

No matter how they looked at it, the incident was full of unanswered questions. Something was clearly out of the ordinary.

"Where's Loren?"

"He was sent to the Church."

"Contact them. If he's awake, have him respond immediately!"

A female teacher took an [Impression Crystal] from a drawer and infused it with a trace of power.

Impression Crystals were their primary means of long-distance communication, allowing point-to-point exchanges of images and sound. They were extremely convenient communication tools.

A moment later, the connection was established.

"Is this the Church? How is the student we sent over?"

[Ligation in progress, please waiting]

Everyone froze.

What?

Snap-

An image came through from the other side.

On the operating table, Loren lay anesthetized with his head tilted back, his expression (꒪Д꒪), his tongue lolling to one side and white foam bubbling from his mouth. His hands and feet were strapped down, and his legs were raised high and spread wide. Several young nurses stood opposite the bed, curiously watching the attending doctor sharpen the blade.

The young female priest taking the photo flashed a "Y" with her fingers and winked, taking a selfie with both her face and his in the frame.

[The surgery was a success! Loren will no longer be troubled by desire.]

"..."

The entire Academic Affairs Office fell silent.

"Would you like me to wake him?"

"No, thank you..."

"Do any of you need a similar procedure? We have lots of trainee priests here today. Buy one surgery, get one free!"

"No, thank you..."

"Are you sure? The blade is very sharp..."

Click-

They hastily cut off the connection. Everyone pressed their legs together and fell silent again.

Without a doubt, getting any answers out of Loren was impossible for the time being...

Just then, a knock suddenly came from outside.

"Come in."

"Ah, Xiliu. What's wrong? Is there something you need?"

The door opened, and a blond boy walked in, looking at them solemnly.

"Teachers, there's something I need to report about Loren... I think someone may have done something to him. There was something wrong with his eyes today..."

Meanwhile, at the Noble Academy.

Hana Ye lay slumped over her desk, balancing a quill on her nose. Her curly hair spilled across the tabletop, and every so often, she let out a little sigh with a (눈‸눈) expression.

She picked up her pen and scrawled one large word in her textbook: [widow].

But just as her thoughts continued running wild, she suddenly heard people talking outside.

"Hey, hey, hey! Have you heard?! Over in the Commoner District! I just heard the news from there. Apparently, two third-year students got into a fight! It was really intense, and one of them even had his balls busted!"

"Huh? Doesn't that mean he can't do naughty stuff anymore (shocked)?! Who was it?"

"I think it was an upperclassman named Lin Ke..."

Boing-

Hana Ye's curly hair instantly straightened in fright.

With a frantic cry, she rushed over and hoisted up the girl, who was clearly a little younger than her. Wearing an incredulous (ΩДΩ) expression, she demanded:

"What did you say?! Lin Ke had his balls busted?!!"

The girl went blank.

"Um... um..."

Trembling, Hana Ye pulled her closer and stared into her face.

"How did they get busted?! Who did it?! Were they completely crushed?!"

The girl made a (;≧д≦) face.

"No! You heard wrong! That upperclassman named Lin Ke busted another boy's balls! It wasn't Lin Ke who got his balls busted!"

Hana Ye froze.

"..."

A few minutes later, after learning what had happened over there, she felt utterly hollow.

In other words, in less than two short hours, he had not only French-kissed that girl named Shakira, but immediately afterward had also busted a boy's (bleep-)? An outrageously melodramatic love-triangle showdown instantly formed in her mind.

Had someone come after him for revenge? After all, he'd gone off to French-kiss another girl right after saying goodbye to me. No matter how I look at it, that sounds like someone came looking for revenge!

(.;ﾟ;:benefit:;ﾟ;.)

No, no matter what, I have to go check on him after school. Because he's the Great Demon! The Great Demon!

Meanwhile, in the classroom.

Lin En returned to his seat, crossed his legs, and pondered what had just happened.

"Was it charm?"

He had barely settled in before she sent someone to test him.

Wasn't she being a little too impatient?

Smiling, he glanced toward the door and rubbed his nose. That faint fragrance still seemed to linger inside it.

"But if you really want to play with me that badly, let's play."

After all...

He had finally returned to human society.

Without a little entertainment, wouldn't life be far too dull?

With that...

He casually opened his panel.

[Satiety]: 915/1000

"If my satiety reaches full, does that mean I can finally break free of this sperm-spirit form and evolve into the next one?"

If so, he could give it a try today.

"Hehehehe-"

Lin En glanced outside.

"Let's see what tricks you can pull today."

Soon, dusk approached, and the day flew by.

Almost the instant he stepped through the school gates, a sweet, delighted voice rang out far behind him.

"Lin Ke!! Sorry for the wait!!"

Lin En had barely turned around when a rush of rich fragrance washed over him.
