I must say, that professor is quite good with students. I don't know what was up with me, but he really helped me regain my cool there. He somehow was able to calm me down by stroking my hair, and it made me quite sleepy. It's not like I liked it, it was just very soothing.
When I woke up in my bed, hearing them talking downstairs, I felt really lonely for some reason, and had a genius idea! Why not force someone to become my pillow to sooth my loneliness! I ended up picking the elfling because the Pervert was a no-no and the other guy would probably piss himself. I then had a really nice sleep. It felt quite nice to hug her close to me, and though I'm almost never gentle, I tried to not constrict her too much. Emphasis being on try, because she could barely move when I woke up and finally let her go.
I decided that from now on, I'm going to pick up a cute animal or kid and use him/her as a hug pillow for my sleep, and since I already knew all the theory the professor kept blabbering about, I simply ran away from him the moment he turned away from me. I also put on my robes with a hood.
I went around the school for an hour, searching for a suitable pillow, until I arrived at a scene that looked quite... typical.
There was a rather handsome kid being bullied by 4 expensive-clothed nobles. They surrounded him and were throwing insults at him and kept saying stuff like 'Commoners don't belong here!' or some of that crap. I walked toward them and cleared my throat.
They all turned around and faced me with an angry expression. "What do you want, another commoner? You dare pick a fight with us huh? We'll teach you respe..." I don't let him finish as I slap him gently on the face, limiting myself to making him slam into the ground.
"You four have exactly ten seconds to get on the ground with your bellies up, imitating grooving dogs, as that's exactly what you are. I'm now going to start the countdown, and should you fail to do as I say, I will personally hang you naked upon the tallest tree I can find." They all looked at me shocked, but as I started my countdown "10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4..." One of them tried to punch me, but I caught his wrist and threw him away, sending him flying for a good 20 meters.
The other two got onto the ground after seeing me and looked at me terrified. I walked toward them, picked them both up by the throat and threw them away too. I nodded in satisfaction and turned to the kid that had just been almost beaten up.
He was looking at me with a shocked expression. I turn at him and stare at him with my shining red eyes. He starts sweating as I walk up to him, and he even tried to crawl away as I approached him.
Once I was right in front of him and as he gave up trying to run away, I slowly lower my hand towards his face. He closes his eyes and wait for what I will do. He immediately opens them when I pat him on the head.
"Well~ You have now become my personal hug pillow~ Aren't you a lucky fellow~" I say and take off my hood, revealing my face and cat ears. I'd make a paling face joke, but nowadays everybody pales when they see me, so it's not even worth the effort.
"T-t-the 'Bloody cat'? W-w-what d-do y-you want with me!?" I put a finger on my mouth and pick him up with one hand from his chest. I then throw him over my shoulder like a bag ignoring his complains and curses and walk back towards my personal nap spot. Only to then remember I accidentally broke it in my fit of rage.
Cursing inwardly, I decide that the couch will have to do. Still ignoring the cursing kid over my shoulder, I enter the house and walk towards the living room, where I find my professor helping Sahra with her plant stuff.
When they see me and the kid the professor hurriedly says "You're not thinking of eating him right!?" I shake my head and answer "Nah, I promised not to kill any students after all. I saved him from a bunch of noble idiots and he's now become my personal hug pillow" I say and pull him into a hug (death crush). He gasps at the pressure, but I ignore him and dive into the couch.

I expected to have to deal with nobles shunning me during my stay at the accademy, but I didn't expect them to actually be so physical. But oh boy was that only the beginning...
After a while of them insulting me, I see a short black-robed man come from behind them. He then says some stuff to them and first slaps a noble, sending him crashing into the ground, then throws the other three away like nothing. I thought it was the end for me, but when he (or she) took off her hood, I immediately recognized her.
She had cat ears. There was an announcement made in the school to never ever try talk to her. They said that her nickname's 'Bloody Cat', and that apparently she's an SS-rank adventurer, but most consider her an SSS-rank.
They also said that should we ever try to bully her, out lives would officially end, as even the assassin's guild entire headquarters is constantly on her footsteps, but they have never even been able to scratch her. I heard from some friends after the announcement that she's actually a bloodthirsty monster that baths in human blood.
For some reason, she said that I had become her personal hug pillow, and all colors drained from my face when I heard that. Does that mean she will kill me? What even is a hug pillow?
She then picked me up and started walking towards a building. I tried to tell her to let me go, but to no avail.

When we entered the building, I saw a professor teaching a girl about magic. They seemed to be working on a plant, I think I recognize said professor. He's the one who teaches unique magic!
When he saw us, he hurriedly said "You're not thinking of eating him, right?" I thought my face was white already, but when I heard that literally no blood was left on my whole body and I started trembling. She ate people? Just what kind of monster is she...?
She denied that thankfully, and then dived into a couch while dragging me with her. She then began crushing me with a hug, I thought I was going to die, but she released me a little, allowing me to at least breath.
After 10 minutes, I thought something was wrong, and tried turning around. What i found was a sleeping girl that was crushing me with her hug. It would be a pleasant experience, if it wasn't for the fact that there was a boy staring daggers at me, a girl looking like she fully understood me, a confused guy, and a professor who was facepalming himself while saying something about bad habits. I didn't do anything! Don't look at me like that please! She's the one who kidnapped me!
It took the professor fourty minutes to get her to wake up, and even then she refused to let go of me while saying "But I saved him! He has to at least repay the favour! He's mine for the day!". She swiftly ran off with the professor screaming something at her. Of course, I was still with her, or rather, with her tails. She had one wrapped around my chest and one around my waist.
She swiftly climbed up a rather tall tree, carrying me with her, and then settled on a branch. She then hugged me again and said "Good night~" and fell asleep. I again could barely breath, but throwing all complains aside, it wasn't too bad being hugged by this monster. After all, it's not like she is anything less then breathtakingly beutiful.
I woke up some time later when I heard sounds from down the tree. I looked down, or at least tried without getting crushed by her hug, and saw the 4 noble kids from before with a bunch of their friends.
"Come down here you robed bastard! We saw you dragging that commoner up there! Come down here and face us like a man!" She woke up at this point, looked down as well, and commented to me silently "Last time I checked, I'm not a man. Should I ignore them, rip off a couple of body parts or maybe tie them all up and throw them in a river?" She said without a trace of emotions. It was quite scary to hear her talk about doing these things as if talking about doing everyday deeds.
The guy then said something unforgivable though "Hey robed idiot, are you a pussy or something? Too scared to face us huh? Oh well, it's not like your parents would care about it either way. Nobody likes you, wierdo!". I could literally feel my bones being crushed when parents were mentioned, I think I blacked out for a second. She slowly got up, put her robes on (where did she take them out from?) and climbed down the tree with me in tow.
The nobles had smug smiles on their faces when they saw her climb down. There were 10 of them now, but if they think numbers will work against this monster then they're sooooo wrong.
I don't think she'll be nice enough to spare these guys... poor nobles. I almost feel bad.
When she reached the ground, I could already feel my ribs breaking from her hug. I don't know why, but she refused to let go of me, which while it normally would be a good thing, I right now just want to get away from her as fast as possible.
"Heh, so the pussy finally showed up. What's up with you huh? Wearing that stupid robe in a noble school, you should be ashamed..." He doesn't finish as she tears the robe apart. Her tails were shaking around, smashing the ground with each flick, and her face was contorted in anger.
"... You really, really shouldn't have ever come here. I've spent enough time with people like you already. All of you except this man right here have three seconds to run away before I squash you like flies." The noble had his jaw hanging open. Heh, I knew it, he's not gonna live for long.
Six of his followers run away the moment they saw her ears, apparently they paid attention during the announcement, while the other four looked either lusty or confused.
"Huh? A mere demon tries to threaten me? I'll have you know I'm the son of the duke of Svichervein, and I bet your parents abandoned you when you were little..." The sound of something breaking could literally be heard from the cat. She then slowly released me and put me next to the tree while gently saying "Stay there for a second will you~" In a tone that I dared not respond to.
She then turned to him and slowly began walking to him. He frowned, his minions from before probably told him she's strong. he simply said "Men, surround her. We're going to show her who's the boss here." They do surround her, but she casually touches one on the forehead and he literally explodes. What just happend?
The shower of innards, brain matter and blood rained on the soon-to-be-dead noble, and he was looking with a blank look. The next moment, the three remaining minions exploded just like the first one, but without her even moving a finger. Actually, she did move, just too fast for me to see.
The guy was shocked still and couldn't move. She walked slowly towards him and said "You appear to have made the wrong person Angry. My dear noble, I have a torture method that I experimented with for a couple of months now. I can effectively say it's the best death you could ever hope, and a rather painful one too~ Prepare to die." She says, and shoots her tails around his arms and stretches them, removing his only way of resistance. She then broke both of his legs with the kid screaming, then looked at him in the face from close up, put her hands around his head and... kissed him?
I was very confused when I saw this, however, after a minute or so the kid started suffucating and tried to get away but couldn't. She kept him still as he suffucated. He died after 4 minutes. She wiped her mouth with her sleeve, picked up the corpse, cut off it's head and opened her mouth to an impossible degree. She looked like a snake as she opened her mouth, her entire jaw expanded to at least four times it's normal size. She then swallowed his head whole, which confirmed what the doctor said. She does indeed eat people...
The head entered her mouth, and I could see it as it went down her throat and disappeared in her chest. She turned to me with a smile and said "Well, I'm going to end up in big~ trouble for that. Eh, who cares. Hug pillow, do your job and comfort my heart!" she says and dives into me, making me scream out in pain at the impact. She then started poking me around with me trying to wriggle out of her remade bearhug. After 10 minutes of this, she sighed and got up
"Well, it was nice knowing you my dear personal hug pillow. You probably don't want to see me ever again anyway, so see ya!" She said and ran off towards a tree, which she quickly climbed up. I was left with a couple of broken bones from all of her bear hugs, and it took an hour for a teacher to arrive and patch me up. I didn't ever hear from her again, but I at least figured out one thing from that day. Never trust your rescuer completely, they're sometimes more dangerous then the danger.
