Seeing them rush at each other at my signal, I felt relieved.
Finally, things were unfolding just as I planned.
Honestly, I could just send the heroines to wipe them all out.
But do we really need to dirty our hands cleaning up trash?
It would be just perfect if they handled each other.
They were fighting fiercely for the chance to be the last victor,
pursuing victory in various ways, but they could mainly be divided into two types.
One type tried to crush their opponents purely with their own power.
“Why are these shitheads rushing at me? Have they finally gone insane?”
“I’m gonna take you guys down now, you bastards!”
“Yeah, fuck you. I’m not scared. Bring it on!”
“Ah! How can you suddenly hit me from behind when we were allies!”
“Don’t show me your back!”
Of course, there was a slightly different type derived from this one.
Even if they were relatively weak in power,
they acted purely out of revenge.
“Don’t dodge this time, just block it, you bitch!”
“I told you I didn’t do it. Trash like you, seriously.”
“Then bring some proof that you didn’t, you bastard whose mom is dead.”
However, not everyone possessed strong power.
Generally, due to differences in ability
or physical disparities, there were also those who fought differently.
“That professor is actually a pedo! He was whining about wanting to go back to his mother’s fucking place when he was drunk!”
“No! Fuck! You were the one who said you wanted to go back to where you were born!!”
“That, that’s just the instinct to go home! It’s a natural desire to want to return to a cozy place!”
“That bastard who said that last time turned out to be his little sibling!”
“I didn’t do it with my little brother, it was my little sister, what’s the problem!”
“Oh, it was your little sister? Then I guess it’s no big deal.”
They were killing each other socially through words.
[It’s a problem because it’s a little sibling!!! You crazy bastards!!!]
‘Ha! I thought they wouldn’t point out that his little sibling is a fuck buddy.’
Surely, they might not have overwhelming power.
But information is also a weapon in modern society.
Especially if that information relates to the opponent’s weakness.
Ultimately, it was about exploiting the gaps created by exposing that truth.
Whether momentarily evading the situation,
or grabbing the chance for a counterattack.
Of course.
“You said just yesterday you wanted to suck off Boy’s Love Juji!!! You filthy bastard!!!”
“Yeah, same goes for you.”
“Ah, fuck. It’s so gay.”
There were opponents for whom those attacks didn’t work.
The ultimate target being the last remaining person.
Escape being limited in a closed space.
The loss of the ultimate goal.
And intense intent to kill originating from dissonance.
Because of these four things, despite being a relatively short time, many fell.
Here, even students fought among themselves.
“Is there any reason to suddenly betray like this!”
“Aha ha… it was fun playing friend.”
Or professors vs. professors, etc.
“We even agreed to skim research funds together!”
“Sorry, professor. I can’t be satisfied unless I collaborate with another professor.”
However, it wasn’t that others didn’t also fight.
In this case, there were usually two opposing types.
One was professors versus staff.
“You took our research funds from our department budget!”
“Ah… was that it? It’s sealed within me.”
“YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!!”
And the other was professors versus many students.
“Is this how you repay your teacher’s grace, you dog bastards!”
“Professor… you need to live long.”
Of course, besides that, there were various types of fights.
The differences overflow if pointed out.
If there’s one common point, it’s that none of it ended nicely.
From my perspective, it didn’t really matter what happened.
Ultimately, the blades aimed at my neck
shifted to pour out their hatred onto each other.
[But seriously, are you going to let the very last one go?]
‘Of course. Isn’t that only natural?’
No matter what, I didn’t plan to break my promise.
This was a condition I confidently set for them.
So it was only natural to keep it.
That’s a basic condition for a web novel protagonist.
And not long after a few minutes,
the final victor was finally decided.
It was none other than one male student from the second year.
[Surprising. I thought Marina would win.]
‘Yeah, I was too much targeted by team-ups and control.’
Decisively, although Professor Marina fought well,
her midway strong power became a poison instead.
Unless you were overwhelmingly strong like Hyeji, it would be difficult to endure continuous team-ups.
Meanwhile, the last student stood fidgeting while requesting me to get him out by breaking the structure as soon as possible.
“I’m the last one! So let me out!”
He wasn’t totally powerless, but
the decisive factor that led to him being the last was when he backstabbed his alliance at the last minute.
What a model example of a Hunter.
“Hyeji, I need a favor.”
– “Okay.”
Of course.
– Bang!!!
“F-FUCKING BASTARD!!!”
He was slightly lacking compared to me, but still a Hunter.
[You said you would let me go!!!]
‘I was going to let the last one go, but now he’s gone. What a pity.’
[You really do have an awful personality.]
‘For a Hunter, that’s a compliment.’
[……Fuck.]
As soon as I told Hyeji what I needed, she quickly pulled the trigger.
As expected, Hyeji was unrivaled in reliability.
On the other hand, the last student, bleeding from his thigh, shouted in considerable grievance,
“Fuck! How can you betray us at the end!”
“Betrayal? You bastards came here to take me out, what nonsense are you saying?”
“……Ah.”
He couldn’t refute my words anymore and fainted almost immediately.
Although he thought of the ultimate goal he had here at the last moment,
he had already crossed too many irreversible rivers to regret it.
If only their shallow pride battle had never happened, the result would have been so much different.
[Wasn’t it a problem if someone just bent a little?]
‘But then you get pegged as a pushover and end up used till the end.’
[……I tried to deny, but Marina turned out to be that case after all.]
The situation seemed to be settling down.
But there was still something left to do.
I called the monsters to remove the structures covering the fainted people.
“Everyone, hurry up and gather here, got it?”
However, because the snake-shaped monster kept losing strength,
the monsters struggled to move the structures.
“Use your thigh muscles, not your waist! You’re going to hurt your back!”
I gave some advice out of frustration, and only then did the snake-shaped monster start to exert itself,
and finally, the monsters could start moving the structures with groans.
While the monsters were clearing the structures, I quickly contacted the heroines who hadn’t appeared for about four chapters.
Me [Now we can play, so you can start coming over.]
Tool [Just a little bit longer. I’m coming really fucking fast.]
Ganf [I thought I was going to die of boredom! Can we head over now?]
Champi [I’m so sorry for dozing off from having nothing to do for a moment. I hope I don’t just show up in the next chapter!]
Me [No, you should be able to appear in this chapter. And honestly, I was a bit bored too.]
Kyaru [You fucking idiots!!! If you have nothing to do and are bored, why don’t you help me out instead!!!]
Whether everyone read it or not, the number beside Caressy’s message no longer existed.
Nevertheless, no one was responding to Caressy’s words.
As if they absolutely didn’t want to help with that.
Not long after,
the heroines except Caressy sequentially arrived.
Hyeji, Elcia, and then Ayeon.
“Shinwoo, how is it? I’m first, right?”
“Fast.”
“You too.”
“Fuck you.”
Meanwhile, newly arrived Elcia and Ayeon began to speak up.
“Of course, it’s Big Sister Hyeji! You deserve to be called Shunpo!”
“If you’re a reigning king, then you should at least have that level.”
“Cough! According to my scoop, Hyeji Soyuja’s Shunpo is unbeatable…”
“……’Po’ isn’t the weird thing I’m thinking, right? Why is there no Hanja, fuck.”
[It looks like the difference in information power is too severe.]
‘Don’t you start either, you bitch.’
Lately, it seems like the heroines aren’t in their right minds, but even Peace has become a maniac.
It was clear that I was the craziest at first.
But as the numbers piled up, I keep feeling more disturbed as they go crazier than me.
“Shinwoo, are we going to do it right away?”
“No. Caressy hasn’t arrived yet.”
However, Caressy still hadn’t shown up.
It was a tough job I gave her, but it shouldn’t be taking this long, so it was a bit strange.
Still, I didn’t plan to contact Caressy.
I didn’t want to do that either.
[……You really are a typical male cockroach.]
‘Shut it.’
Anyway, it wouldn’t hurt to prepare early.
So I decided to get some work done before Caressy arrived.
“Let’s get a head start on preparations before Caressy comes.”
“Okay. Hey, did you all hear? Hurry it up!”
“Got it!!!”
“Leave it to me.”
Now it’s the climax time.
