<Episode 100> Huh? This isn’t right…
“Honestly, even though I’ve been through countless battles and take pride in that… there’s just no end to the chaos around Master Yu-jin.”
Biseo Park thought this as he wandered around the Mansion of Hwagcheon.
Since Yu-jin showed no interest in the mansion affairs,
all these trivial tasks were being handled by Biseo Park.
While Yu-jin was out driving or running errands, or so people thought…
In reality, Park was the most capable and hardest-working person in this mansion.
Well, considering how much he wanted to be of any help to Yu-jin…
This might actually count as a pretty satisfying job.
“Anyway, there’s also Chul-soo Kim’s matter, so I need to wrap up today’s work quickly.”
Just as Park thought this and opened Yu-jin’s room door…
Suddenly, a green tentacle shot out!
Without changing expression, Park batted it away.
-KLANG!
The shattered glass fell as the sharp tentacle hit the floor, then melted into liquid and disappeared.
“……”
“……”
Park noticed a blonde girl enter his line of sight.
A beautiful young girl with doll-like features was covering herself with a blanket, standing stark naked underneath.
But instead of fear or panic, Park only looked slightly annoyed.
From someone who usually dealt with trembling subordinates, this was quite a refreshing change.
“Hmm…”
Park pulled a chair over and sat down casually.
A suited man versus a naked blonde girl – an extremely strange and dangerous-looking situation for any outsider.
Yet neither seemed on guard nor made any move to speak.
They simply stared at each other silently for a while.
Finally, Park broke the silence.
“Are you still menstruating these days?”
Totally insane question to ask a stranger girl.
But for Park, this was an important agenda item.
“And if not, what do you plan to do about it?”
“I’ll give you ten billion.”
“You’re offering ten billion for someone who could potentially be Hwagcheon’s successor? That’s a bad deal.”
The girl lazily put on a discarded dress shirt as she spoke.
Her smooth thighs and chest line revealed she wasn’t wearing anything underneath.
Though barely covered, neither seemed to care about the state of undress.
“You don’t need to worry about that. My master is just a bit of a coward. Even when I blatantly try to seduce him, he doesn’t fall for it.”
“He doesn’t seem to have a thing for scrawny builds.”
“Haha, this bastard makes me want to kill him already despite our first meeting.”
“I actually find you quite appealing. I believe Master Yu-jin would want a woman with such backbone by his side.”
While they appeared calm, they had already exchanged magical power and finished their reconnaissance.
Though Park didn’t show it, he felt sweat forming on his hands.
‘This girl… she’s not human.’
I wonder where Master found her. He truly is a mysterious person.
Of course, there must be some reason he brought her along.
I wouldn’t dare question his intentions.
“In any case, if you are Master Yu-jin’s friend or lover, you are my guest as well. Please feel comfortable.”
“Whatever.”
The girl picked up a water bottle nearby and took a sip.
“But even if I’m a monster that eats people like you, you’d accept me as a lover?”
“Hwagcheon never discriminates based on origin. Only ability matters. I’ve killed plenty myself.”
“What if the person I kill happens to be Yu-jin’s mother, your boss?”
“That would just mean Chairman didn’t have what it takes.”
The blonde girl, Rime, sighed.
‘Damn, this organization…’
Can’t tell if they’re inept or have a solid system in place.
Their leader gets killed and they just go ‘oh well, too weak’?
On the other hand, they’re not lacking in loyalty either.
Especially Park here – he’s practically a fanatic about Yu-jin.
Even from Rime’s perspective as a monster, this was abnormal.
“Master Yu-jin must have a good reason for bringing you into his room. Whatever decision he makes, I will follow accordingly.”
“Do you not consider the possibility I snuck in myself?”
“Master Yu-jin is not that clumsy.”
‘Yeah sure.’
If I had to guess, even if three random women burst in waving knives saying ‘let us live here please!’, he’d probably just smile and say yes.
Though, Park having blinders on for Yu-jin isn’t exactly new.
“Anyway, what exactly is your relationship with Master Yu-jin?”
“A mutual understanding between lovers who have kissed.”
“…Exclusive? I doubt that.”
“What’s wrong with that? It’s true!”
“I’ve known Master Yu-jin longer than you possibly could.”
“Our time together has been longer!”
“I know everything about Master Yu-jin. He’s the strongest.”
“I’ve surpassed that strength.”
An awkward silence hung in the air.
By now, Rime had stood up and Park adjusted his sunglasses.
“Hwagcheon is a world where power equals justice.”
“So what?”
“Even the wife of the successor must prove her strength.”
“What if I refuse?”
“Even Chairman would raise quite a fuss if he learned his son was dating a monster.”
“…Damn bastards, I really hate all of you.”
“Everyone says that. They’re all dead now though.”
With an unspoken agreement not to fight in Yu-jin’s room, both headed outside.
Soon after, a thunderous sound shook the ground…
“Why am I handcuffed to a bed again?”
As he thought this, Yu-jin lifted his head to look around.
First things first, he recognized he was in the infirmary, which seemed empty.
And in front of him stood the class president.
Only… something was off about her.
For one, her hairstyle had changed completely.
“Since when did she dye her hair?”
Her originally brown hair, usually tied back in a ponytail for convenience in battle…
Now dyed blonde and let loose down to her chest.
The dye job looked amateurish and uneven, which was kind of distracting.
“And her clothes…”
No need to elaborate on that part.
She usually followed the rules meticulously, wearing her uniform perfectly tailored.
So much so that they could use her as a model for the school uniform guidelines.
But now, she had her cardigan tied around her waist,
And two buttons of her blouse were undone.
Not that her figure wasn’t impressive…
Seeing glimpses of her ample cleavage through the blouse made Yu-jin’s face flush slightly.
Of course, the shock of the sudden change in the class president was greater.
Anyway, putting it simply…
“She looks kinda similar to Rime somehow?”
The blonde hair, the slightly undone blouse, even the black stockings…
It gave off strong vibes of copying Rime.
Though certain parts were definitely different.
“Hey, Class President, what’s with the outfit?”
Even Yu-jin, the ultimate normie, couldn’t help but ask.
At this, the class president smiled brightly.
“Oh, you noticed?”
Hard not to notice really.
She twirled a strand of her newly dyed hair while giving a shy smile.
“How do I look? Does it suit me?”
She spun around once, letting her skirt, waist-tied cardigan, and blonde hair flow with her.
If asked whether it suited her or not… it definitely did.
“Feels kind of refreshing.”
Of course, compared to her usual self, it felt a bit forced.
Still, the class president was pretty with a great figure.
Revealing more than usual only made her look even better.
Just the suddenness of the change was surprising.
“Yeah, looks fine.”
“Hehe, glad you think so.”
She smiled happily.
That smile at least still felt like the class president.
If only those handcuffs weren’t there, it would have been a nice moment.
“Anyway, why the sudden style change? Any particular reason?”
“Mm-hmm, Rim-san and Pearl gave me some insights.”
Wait, why does Rime come into this?
Regardless of whether Yu-jin understood or not, the class president continued.
“If the current me can’t satisfy you, then maybe not-me can.”
“Huh?”
“So I decided to imitate the most amazing woman I know! And that’s Rim-san!”
“Eh?”
What she meant was unclear.
Sure, admiring Rime made sense.
But ending up looking like a delinquent felt way off to Yu-jin.
“So I decided to at least try matching your tastes outwardly.”
“My, my tastes?”
“Yes! Though it’s embarrassing, I undid some buttons and dyed my hair for the first time!”
The class president leaned in close suddenly.
The distance closed to the point her warm breath was felt.
Her eyes gleamed dangerously.
“I’ve worked hard, okay! Thinking I might be able to help you, I’ve been studying theories extra hard! I kept researching better training methods! I’ve been practicing magic intensely to get stronger! I want to become an amazing woman! Amazing enough to stand by your side! So I’ve been training non-stop without distractions! Did I do well? Tell me I did well! I want your praise! Your recognition! I want to hear your sweet voice tell me it’s okay to be by your side!”
“……”
Honestly, Yu-jin couldn’t fully grasp what she was saying.
He got that she wanted his approval…
But primarily, why him?
First and foremost, why?
Yu-jin knew the class president was already an amazing person.
Popular with everyone in class, excelling academically and magically.
Anywhere in the academy, people only spoke highly of her.
If they were to pick the top students in this school, it would definitely be Chul-soo, the class president, and Young-hee.
Someone far more remarkable than himself.
Why was someone like her fixated on him?
“Hmm… Anyway…”
Yu-jin flexed his arms.
KRAK!
-The handcuffs broke easily.
Yu-jin stood up casually and looked at the class president.
Then he smiled and replied.
“Yeah, you’ve worked hard. Very impressive.”
The class president stared at Yu-jin with wide eyes.
Huh? This isn’t right…
<Episode 1> From today, the class president’s nickname is Yansoon.
“No, no, that’s not acceptable!”
The class president rushed toward Yu-jin, who had broken free using magnetism.
Her face looked like she was about to cry as Yu-jin realized he must have done something…
Yo, listen up! I totally made a super serious mistake or something and gotta think real hard about it.
“Whenever a dude gets cuffed by a girl, he’s supposed to just chill! That’s how it works!”
Dude, what kind of ancient law is that?
Another pair of handcuffs popped out from the Class Prez’s pocket.
Seriously, does she always carry these things around?
Of course, even if it’s someone as cool as Yu-jin, nobody wants to get cuffed twice, right?
“That thing looks way more uncomfortable than it seems.”
“Any unrelated guy and gal who wanna chat gotta be all tied up like this! It’s the rule, yo!”
“In that case, I’d totally listen to whatever story you wanna tell without needing any cuffs.”
“But，but…thanks for saying that…”
The Class Prez blushed and lowered her head.
Hmm, something’s definitely off with the prez today.
While thinking that, Yu-jin continued.
“So, what did you wanna say?”
The prez suddenly snapped back to reality.
She grinned mischievously and gave him a flirty smile.
“I got a present for Yu-jin.”
Then she pulled out a paper bag.
Inside was a small box filled with chocolates.
“Chocolates?”
“Yeah, I prepared them specially for you. Do you like chocolates?”
“Whoa! You actually remembered that?”
It was just a casual comment during last dungeon exploration.
No way she’d turn that into a gift.
“Yeah, I wanna know everything about your tastes. Not just food, but drinks, colors, movies, animals, subjects—everything. I want to know all about you.”
“Ah…got it…”
The prez nodded, though she looked kinda deflated.
Still, she pulled out a notebook and started scribbling furiously.
Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and looked up sharply.
“S-so, what kind of girls do you like?”
“Someone who listens well?”
“I’m an amazing listener! It’s been my special skill since I was little—I’m literally the best in the world at it!”
“I know.”
If she hadn’t become friends with a lonely loser like me…
Besides, she’s the most popular girl in class.
The prez knows she’s nice to everyone.
“S-so? Is that true…?”
The prez’s face turned slightly red.
She bowed her head and fidgeted nervously, unsure what to do.
“A-actually, I didn’t expect to feel this happy.”
“Huh?”
After hesitating for a while, she held up the chocolate.
Anyway! You’re not leaving until we finish all this!
—
Then the prez changed her tone when she saw Yu-jin had broken the cuffs.
“You won’t leave until you eat it all!”
“Meh, doesn’t matter anyway.”
Whatever, I planned to eat it all anyway.
How could I possibly leave behind food prepared by a friend?
Just as Yu-jin reached out his hand…
The prez quickly snatched the chocolate away.
“…Yu-jin, sit still. I’ll feed you.”
“Aaa~”
Without hesitation, Yu-jin opened his mouth wide.
The prez, on the other hand, was completely caught off guard by his natural reaction.
“Eh…is, is it okay?”
“What’s wrong?”
“A-ah, no! Y-you’re supposed to stay still…!”
With trembling hands, the prez held the chocolate.
Her hands were shaking.
Putting something into the mouth of someone you like requires way more courage than expected.
Finally, after much effort, she managed to put one piece into his mouth.
“Ugh…”
Embarrassed beyond belief, the prez buried her face.
Even her neck turned bright red.
I thought I’d have the upper hand here…
But whenever Yu-jin’s around, all my carefully planned confidence goes straight out the window.
Meanwhile, Yu-jin was too busy savoring the delicious chocolate.
His expression soon lit up with delight.
"Wow, this is really good. Did you make it yourself?"
"Y-yeah..."
"—Yeah."
"Prez, you're pretty good at cooking too. That's impressive."
"Ehehe...isn't it? Oh! Actually, there's a little bit of my blood mixed in."
"Blood?"
"Yeah, I wanted to blend our bodies together, so I added a few drops of my blood. Technically, you're eating me right now."
...Uh.
Considering he swallowed a person-sized slime once and lives under the same roof with it every day...
Does a few drops of blood really mean that much?
While munching on the chocolate, Yu-jin suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Hey, didn't we already connect our magical cores during training? Weren't we technically already one being?"
To Yu-jin, it was just a random thought.
But when the prez finally processed the meaning of his words, her face turned beet red.
So red it almost looked like steam was rising from her head.
"D-does that count?"
"Maybe, depending on how you interpret it."
"D-does that mean I'm responsible?"
Wait, was it THAT big of a deal?
"Of course! It's super important! That's how it's always been!"
The prez smiled sheepishly.
"Boyfriends and girlfriends share snacks, hold arms, pet each other's heads, touch ears, sleep in the same house—it's all part of the rules."
She said it so casually, yet it was so bold.
Yu-jin thought to himself that something was definitely off with the prez today.
Or maybe there were still some unknown rules of this otherworld he wasn't aware of.
If that's true, what a terrifying world this is.
"By the way, didn't we already sleep in the same place before?"
Sure, they used separate rooms in the massive Hwagcheon headquarters.
But technically, they fulfilled most of the conditions already, right?
"N-no! That was different! We only did that because of Young-hee! It's not the same as a proper invitation!"
"Then do you wanna come over again? Rime's still around, you know."
What? She's the one who threatened to kill anyone who got close to him!
That chick who could swallow people whole without breaking a sweat?
He's talking about the girl whose hair color he's blatantly copying right now?!
--Hey, prez, don't push your luck. I wanna kill you.
The prez's shoulders trembled slightly.
It was pure primal fear etched into her body.
"Ah, actually...now that I think about it, it's probably fine."
"Really?"
The prez cautiously nodded.
"Um...I'll do anything. Even if it's a second time, it's okay. Just please don't abandon me..."
"What are you talking about? There's no way I'd abandon you."
"Hehe, good. Thank goodness."
Unfortunately, yandere tendencies are powerless against overwhelming strength and fear.
Unaware of this fact, Yu-jin simply thought the chocolate was tasty and sneaked another piece.
*
After a long yet short break,
Life at the academy resumed as usual.
Classes, lunch, passing time—all normal stuff.
But there was an unusual buzz in the air compared to usual.
After all, even hero aspirants get excited when events approach.
Especially when students your age start appearing in heroic stories on the news,
And then the global competition begins shortly after.
"Alright, everyone! We have an urgent announcement! Pay attention!"
Yu-jin's homeroom teacher, Ji-hye, called out cheerfully.
Despite her perpetually elementary-school-like height and girlish appearance, she was highly respected by her students.
Sure, her cute demeanor might contribute to that,
But mostly because she was genuinely an excellent teacher.
Ultimately, students gravitate towards those who truly care about them.
"Everyone knows that 'U-Academia' is coming up soon, right? We need to select two representatives from our first-year class."
At this, the students glanced at Chul-soo Kim and Yu-jin Kim.
The U-Academia, where students from academies worldwide compete as national representatives.
Only two people from Korea will be chosen.
Honestly, it's irrelevant to most students.
After all, their current first-year combat section has two legendary geniuses: Chul-soo Kim and Yu-jin Kim.
Their academy grades are overwhelmingly dominant.
Nobody thinks they'll be chosen as representatives.
They're just curious which one between Yu-jin and Chul-soo will be picked.
As if sensing this curiosity,
Ji-hye continued with a pleasant smile.
"Normally, the school would select students based on academic performance, but this time, we've decided to hold a selection tournament."
This sparked interest among the students.
A tournament?
Anything labeled as such introduces variables.
Meaning, it creates opportunities for other students.
"This tournament is especially unique. You all know we need to choose two representatives—one from the combat section and one from the magic section, right?"
The students nodded.
Combat section refers to warriors using swords or spears,
While the magic section includes mages and support-type magic users.
These two groups are selected separately and operate independently during competitions.
It's a basic classification to fairly evaluate student abilities.
Direct comparisons between fighters and mages are nearly impossible due to environmental factors.
"So, this time, the tournament will be tag-team style. Each of you will form a team consisting of one fighter and one mage."
One student raised their hand to ask.
"So, does that mean the team itself becomes the representative?"
"Exactly! This means we value teamwork as much as individual prowess."
It's quite a revolutionary proposal.
In some cases, even less skilled students might get a chance.
Especially for Kim Chul-soo and Kim Yu-jin.
The chances of a mage paired with either of them becoming a representative skyrocket.
Of course, there's also the risk of failing despite your own abilities due to a weak partner.
"Team battles differ entirely from solo ones. In fact, this test will be a battle royale, making cooperation and strategy crucial."
"So, how exactly are the teams formed?"
"It's up to the participating students. If you want to team up with someone specific, you'd better act fast."
Finding a good partner requires both skill and luck.
Naturally, stronger students have an advantage from the start.
"To further fuel your motivation, let me tell you this. The chosen representatives will receive personal training from Tae-jin Kim before the competition."
"Wooow!!"
The entire classroom erupted in cheers.
Tae-jin Kim, the legendary hero known to everyone!
Even though he's retired from active duty, his name remains the ultimate aspiration for all hero aspirants.
Getting direct training from him?
An opportunity that might never come again in a lifetime of hero work.
Students who had resigned themselves began to regain their enthusiasm...
Except for one person: Kim Yu-jin.
Forming teams of two, and letting us decide ourselves...
Isn't that the toughest setup for a loner?
Things were going smoothly as I started getting used to the academy...
And now this trial appears.
Yu-jin felt his vision darken.
Because of this, he failed to notice...
The intense gazes from the Class Prez, Young-hee, and Chul-soo.
