Then if I accept this, does that mean Instructor Kang Jae-seok will become a Demon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I fell into thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What should I do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning Instructor Kang Jae-seok into a Demon…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, even if he became one, he would be different from other Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the message, he would be bound to me and unable to disobey my commands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I could even make it so he wouldn’t realize he had become a Demon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I would gain a trustworthy ally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it like that… it didn’t sound so bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No. Get a grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shook my head to clear my thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning him into a Demon without his consent was something I should never do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since when had my thinking about Demons become so warped?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were enemies of the world—beings who had sold their souls to Demons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I was about to put Instructor Kang Jae-seok in the same position as them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then what difference would there be between me and a Demon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if Instructor Chun Ga-eun found out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she learned the truth, she would undoubtedly turn against me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if I accepted it, the success rate was low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reached out and pressed N.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wanting more than this would just be greed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, even without making him subordinate, I could fully restore his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, that didn’t mean the blood offering function was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someday, I’d find someone worth using it on properly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could feel the blood I had infused into Instructor Kang Jae-seok.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using that as a medium, activating the Power of Restoration was easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once activated, the Power of Restoration began coursing through his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, his complexion slowly returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn’t all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The injuries he had suffered in the battle against the Demon were gradually healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when the Academy underwent Hell Manifestation, I hadn’t been able to fully restore his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had only taken minimal measures to keep him alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought the remaining wounds would be handled by the medical staff in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I was wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demonic energy lingering throughout his body—especially in his chest—was preventing recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I placed my hand over his chest, where the demonic energy was most concentrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fight poison with poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to slowly extract the demonic energy pooled within him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How much time had passed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black energy began to seep out of Instructor Kang Jae-seok’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint groan escaped his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was a good sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A groan meant his senses were returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I withdrew my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His faint breathing returned to normal, and all the demonic energy had been expelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, all his injuries were healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for his arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at the still-empty space where his arm should have been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Power of Restoration couldn’t regenerate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My own body could recover even if my limbs were torn apart, but when used on others, the effect seemed significantly reduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had been a Demon—or bound to me—the result might have been different…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then Instructor Kang Jae-seok would have surely fallen into despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming he had returned to normal, I quietly left the hospital room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Demon gazed at Seongwoo’s empty room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint crease formed between her brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her stood her attendant, Wol-ah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A foolish disciple left without even greeting his master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had at least informed her, she would have seen him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Demon was displeased with her foolish disciple, who only came looking for her when he needed something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And recently, hadn’t he even gone to meet Lord Biden on his own?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling that, she let out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yoo Sung-woo was in a very unstable state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before, his balance of mind, body, and energy had been disrupted from training with her—but after meeting Lord Biden, that balance had completely collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he fell into Demon Deviation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing that she was worrying about her disciple, the Heavenly Demon muttered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is why I said I wouldn’t take on a child……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had already been nearly ten years since she took him in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had vowed not to grow attached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, whenever she had a moment, she found herself thinking of that foolish disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning, she never expected her connection with him to last this long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, she had intended to use Yoo Sung-woo merely as a servant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was before she met him in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Closing her eyes, the Heavenly Demon recalled an old memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because she stood before his room, the memories felt even more vivid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she first met him, the young boy had been like a corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite his healthy appearance, his eyes were dull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like someone whose soul had already left his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did nothing unless told.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t eat, wouldn’t wash, wouldn’t even relieve himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he had given up on even dying, he simply stared blankly at the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking care of such a child wasn’t easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had to teach him how to live from the very basics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly ten years passed like that, and the child gradually grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to act and decide on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And though faintly, he started to express emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, something resembling a master-disciple relationship had formed between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Wol-ah gently tugged at her sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavenly Demon, why are you standing here? Do you miss Seongwoo?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why would you think that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The way you look at the empty room… you seem lonely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Lonely, is it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s how it looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At those words, the Heavenly Demon turned and left the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wol-ah hurried after her with quick little steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Demon made a decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I must leave before he becomes even more precious to me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The longer she stayed with her disciple, the more her own ambition was fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, who had always been resolute, was beginning to waver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being with him made her weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had created her own weakness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why she tried not to grow attached or show it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the real problem—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was that even knowing this, she found satisfaction in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the Heavenly Demon suddenly fall silent, Wol-ah’s eyes wavered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She worried that she might have upset her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I say something wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Demon raised her hand and stroked Wol-ah’s hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right. I do miss that foolish disciple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“R-Really? He said he’d be back in three days when he left the other day. He should be on his way back by now, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Wol-ah’s words, the Heavenly Demon quietly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze shifted to Wol-ah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wol-ah, I will be away for a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, really? Is that why you were looking at his room?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wol-ah nodded as if she was used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once or twice a month, the Heavenly Demon would leave for a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was for the regular meetings among the High-ranking Executives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… aren’t you leaving a bit early this time?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This time, it may take a while.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“H-How long is ‘a while’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Worry crept into Wol-ah’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though mature for her age, she was still not even seven years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps… it will be difficult to see me for several weeks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry too much. That foolish disciple is here, isn’t he? Take good care of him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But……”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words trailed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze resembled that of a puppy seeing off its owner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heavenly Demon felt a faint sense of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this too was attachment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She needed to start letting go, little by little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wol-ah, as if sensing something, asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You will come back… right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of her words lingered an unspoken ‘this time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had no intention of abandoning the child immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she needed to start distancing herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially from her disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, she was ultimately just a passing outsider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving Wol-ah behind, the Heavenly Demon entered her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low desk with a manual she was writing for Wol-ah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blanket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And a phone she barely knew how to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caw— Caw—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the middle of the day, the ominous cry of a crow echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the open window, a pitch-black crow cried ominously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re quite impatient.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That crow was his messenger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason she had decided so suddenly to prepare for departure was because of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that he—who hadn’t contacted her for nearly ten years—was calling for her meant the time had come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After packing, her gaze fell on the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had gotten it to contact her disciple, but since she didn’t know how to use it well, it had mostly been left untouched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of taking it, she picked up a pen and left a letter for Yoo Sung-woo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t anything grand—just a message telling him to take good care of Wol-ah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished what she needed to do, she stepped outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crow she had seen earlier landed before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caw— Caw—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it flapped its wings, a human voice came from its beak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavenly Demon, he is waiting for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know.
