<44th Episode, huh? These days, drugs and hypnosis are basic for childhood friends, right?>
Chul-soo swung his sword.
It wasn’t a movement filled with immense power.
Just a light, moderate attack.
“Ugh!”
That alone sent the opponent flying.
The enhancement of Sky Piercing Sword and physical abilities.
The equipment obtained this time and the training done so far.
Combined, they produced these results.
That power was naturally overwhelming.
“Our path! There was no mention of guys like this in the request, right?”
“Shut up and move—ughk!”
Kicking the man wielding chains and then smashing another guy nearby with the hilt of his sword.
That was it.
The men lay unconscious, not moving.
This was already the Nth opponent he’d handled.
For a patient who had just been discharged, there were quite a few enemies to face.
But there was no problem.
“They’re weak.”
While fighting, Chul-soo kept thinking about Yu-jin Kim.
He compared these guys to Yu-jin Kim.
And the conclusion he reached?
These guys were pitifully weak compared to Yu-jin.
“The current working individuals are only this strong, huh?”
Their combat was simple, and their strength lacked.
Not as destructive as Yu-jin’s power.
Not as sharp as that guy’s speed.
Compared to his beast-like fighting style, it was on the level of kids’ play.
“Ho, not bad at all.”
Suddenly, a voice reaches him, and he turns his head.
There stood a man clad in black armor from head to toe.
“This guy…is a bit better.”
Perhaps due to the broadened vision from training.
He started to be able to gauge an opponent’s skill at a glance.
At least, this guy was different from the ones he faced until now.
“Haha, I thought this would just be some boring job of scolding a kid. Didn’t expect to find enjoyment here.”
The man grinned while speaking, showing signs of ease in both actions and tone.
It was the unique demeanor of someone who truly enjoys combat.
“Kid, what’s your name?”
“What do you need it for?”
“Well, if I’m gonna punish you, I should at least know your name, right? Pros take such things seriously.”
“Pros…huh…”
He fell silent, lost in thought.
In truth, he wondered why these guys were attacking him.
Listening to what this man said gave him a rough idea.
These guys were hired by someone.
At least, it wasn’t personal grudges.
“…But who?”
The face that popped into mind was none other than Yu-jin Kim.
However, Yu-jin Kim didn’t need to hire such people.
That guy could easily crush someone like himself.
If he did hire anyone, it’d definitely be stronger types.
Even the secretary next to him is a thousand times stronger than these guys.
“…Who hired you?”
“Haha! You’re giving away that you’re a student. This is business. Telling you would cut off my food supply.”
“Who paid you? Is it Hwagcheon?”
“That’s beside the point. How about we exchange names? Mine is…”
“No, nevermind. Who paid you?”
“……Tch, that’s why kids these days are annoying.”
The man clenched his fist.
Magic Power rippled through his fists.
A massive amount of magic power compressed instantly, emitting a sharp sound.
“My mind has changed. Let me show you the technique that killed a high-level hero in one hit.”
The man took a boxing stance.
His trained magic power and fists were deadly weapons on their own.
He tried to launch the compressed magic power along with his punch.
Or rather, he would have, if Chul-soo hadn’t closed the distance instantly and struck his jaw.
“……Huh?”
Yu-jin Kim’s ultra-high-speed movement.
He mimicked it perfectly.
A movement beyond comprehension made the man’s eyes widen.
‘That guy just rushed in and…struck my jaw? When did he…?’
All he could grasp was that much.
Even that seemed meaningless.
Before the situation could be fully understood, Chul-soo’s arm moved.
-Sky Piercing Sword: Gut Punch
Crack!
An all-out gut punch landed directly on the chest.
Just one strike.
“Ughhhkkk!”
The impact shattered the armor, and the man flew several meters before crashing into the wall.
“…Didn’t get to ask who commissioned you.”
Though asking probably wouldn’t have gotten him an answer anyway.
Honestly, who else but Hwagcheon could it be?
Still, it wasn’t Yu-jin Kim.
Most likely…one of Yu-jin Kim’s subordinates or another faction targeting him.
Whatever the reason, it didn’t matter since this level posed no threat.
‘I’ve grown stronger while aiming for Yu-jin Kim.’
Thinking about it made him chuckle.
It was the training he started to defeat Yu-jin Kim that made him stronger.
No matter what, it strengthened him.
To the point where he could dominate even killers taking on active heroes.
Yet he still couldn’t match Yu-jin Kim.
Just how strong is that guy?
‘My growth because of you is true, but don’t expect gratitude.’
It was the power he originally wanted to protect Young-hee.
What good would it be if he couldn’t take down the important opponent?
Still, he saw a way forward.
He had undoubtedly grown.
With the training methods provided by the Class President and the equipment secretly given by her.
One day, he will definitely defeat Yu-jin Kim.
It’s the only way to repay the Class President’s friendship.
‘For now, let’s go back to the academy.’
Training there was definitely more efficient.
Above all, Young-hee, the most precious person to him, was there.
That alone gave him a reason to go back.
“Uh…”
Young-hee regained consciousness.
She realized she was tied to a chair.
‘Wha, what is this?’
Confused, Young-hee looked around.
White beds, suspicious medicine bottles, and the smell of disinfectant piercing her nose.
She quickly realized she was in the infirmary.
‘Why am I here…’
She slowly recalled her last memory.
Right, a new teacher named Jekyll came.
He said he had something to discuss with her, the healer.
She started talking with Teacher Jekyll alone.
Then what?
…She doesn’t remember.
“Ah, you woke up earlier than expected. Truly fitting of a woman chosen by Hwagcheon’s successor.”
Clomp clomp.
Someone walked over, making deliberate footsteps.
A tall man wearing a doctor’s coat with glasses.
The newly appointed Jekyll teacher.
Well, calling him a teacher might be questionable considering the situation.
“…”
Young-hee glared at the approaching Jekyll despite being tied up.
After all she’s been through thanks to Yu-jin Kim, she wasn’t naive enough to trust him based on the current situation.
“Why did you kidnap me?”
“Hmm, good thinking. Saves me the trouble of explaining.”
“Could you untie me then? A weak girl like me can’t possibly resist anyway.”
While saying this, she wriggled her bound arms.
She tried to channel magic power but it didn’t work well.
Seems like some sort of trickery.
“Well, you see, I’m a timid person so I’d like to be careful.”
“…If you do anything dangerous, I’ll report you to the police.”
“Hmm~ Report? I doubt you can. The moment you leave here, you’ll forget everything.”
Young-hee blinked.
She understood threats or gag orders, but forgetting?
“Hmph, do you see this coin?”
Jekyll chuckled darkly and pulled out a black coin with strange patterns.
“….What is that?”
Young-hee stared at the coin with suspicion-filled eyes.
That coin was dangerous.
Her instincts screamed louder than her rational thoughts.
“It’s something that makes you feel really good and makes you honest.”
Extremely suspicious explanation.
Feeling good and becoming honest?
Nothing else came to mind except drugs.
“I don’t particularly want to feel good.”
“Oh, Young-hee’s opinion doesn’t matter. Just answer my questions and do as I say.”
“I’m sorry, but I don’t want to cooperate with someone who ties up girls.”
Jekyll tilted his head.
As if realizing something, he smiled broadly.
“Ahh~ You haven’t been hypnotized yet. Speak.”
“??”
While Young-hee was confused, Jekyll spread his palm in front of her and drew a slight circle.
The change came simultaneously.
“…Hmm?”
Suddenly, for no reason, she started feeling good.
Something tickling rose from deep within her chest.
It felt like a small feather tormenting her heart and brain gently.
An uncontrollable warmth began spreading gradually.
“What…is this…”
“Ho, impressive resistance. Truly worthy of the woman chosen by Yu-jin.”
Contrary to Jekyll’s admiration, Young-hee had no room for leisure.
Her emotional control was stripped away completely.
She was forced to feel increasingly happy.
She had to listen to the man in front of her.
If she followed what the man in front of her told her, she would be happy.
The forcibly created thoughts began dominating Young-hee.
“No…don’t enter my mind…like that…”
“Just relax, Young-hee. Loosen up your body and accept it as it is.”
Responding to Jekyll’s words, her body reacted first.
She loosened up involuntarily and prepared to accept that sensation.
Naturally, her resistance weakened.
“Aaah…”
Soon, Young-hee lost focus in her eyes.
Slumping her body, she only stared at Jekyll.
Like a young child who lost their memory or a doll.
Jekyll smiled satisfactorily and began questioning.
!
!………
…..
“What’s your name?”
“Youngh-hee…”
“What’s your bust size?”
“C cup…”
Jekyll nodded approvingly.
Of course, he wasn’t curious about her bust size.
It was merely to confirm if the hypnosis worked properly.
Sensitive questions for teenage girls were good ways to verify hypnosis.
“Young-hee, do you have someone you love?”
“Yes…”
“To what extent would you do for that person?”
“I wouldn’t hesitate to give my life.”
Jekyll inwardly marveled slightly.
He knew Yu-jin Kim and Young-hee met this semester.
Yet their relationship had developed to this extent already?
“Mr. Yu-jin, how far have things progressed between you two?”
“What…do you mean?”
“Hmm…then let me ask directly. Have you ever been to a hotel with Kim Yu-jin?”
“Yes…”
Ho? Did Mr. Yu-jin embrace you?
“?? Embracing…well, I often initiate it…to make a good impression…”
The more he heard, the more astonishing stories emerged.
She looks pure, yet not only have they slept together, but the girl even takes the initiative to attack?
Also, to gain Yu-jin’s affection?
“Hmph, as a fellow man, this is something I can’t help but admire.”
Anyway, he understood that Young-hee was special to Kim Yu-jin.
Then, following the original plan would suffice.
Young-hee, how far has things progressed with Mr. Yu-jin?

“?? Hugging…well, I often initiate it…to make a good impression…”

Jekyll slowly swung the black coin wrapped in thread in front of her eyes.
“Now, look at this, Young-hee. You will fall under suggestion.”
“Yes…”
“You will forget everything that happened here the moment you leave. Then you’ll gradually start disliking the person you love. Understand?”
“Yes…”
Memory erasure and suggestion.
A method Jekyll often used when manipulating emotions.
Without knowing why her feelings changed, she’d move exactly as Jekyll wanted.
“Ho ho, it’s intriguing to think how Mr. Yu-jin will react when the person he loves starts hating him.”
Unaware that Young-hee actually liked Chul-soo,
Jekyll smiled wickedly, satisfied with his perfect plan.
