"Please move to the indoor training center, class 2-F student."
Just before the Scarecrow Measurement, Yuuna, Hena, and I gathered together as a group and headed to the indoor training center.
"Kim Sang-hyuk, aren't you nervous?"
Calling someone by their full name feels a bit distant. Although Yuuna and I showed our skin and hugged each other, I think this subtle sense of distance from the opposite sex is kinda weird.
"How good do you feel?"
If I say I'm not nervous, it's a lie, but I feel a kind of nostalgic tension like when I was waiting for my turn to run as a child. It wasn't such a bad feeling for me.
"Well, I take it you have climbing to do1, right?"
"I'm only D-Rank, so there's nothing really to lose."
I mean, if you're a D-Rank, what else is there to say but 'Well, you're just a D-Rank, so it is what it is'? The fact that my expectations are already low means that the burden is also low and comfortable.
"But you still have to work hard now to make it easier in the second semester."
"To be honest, I don't even know what I don't know."
I have a vague feeling that my life will be a little harder if I mess up this test, but I'm optimistic about the future. I am the protagonist who was reborn with all sorts of cheat codes from the goddess of the game, Kim Sang-hyuk. I also have a 'Personality Excretion' skill.
I know from playing other RPG games that there is no better attack skill than this. This is probably the ultimate skill. Collecting onaholes is also a great talent, but it is a growth talent that even regular game players can enjoy.
However, the privilege and power of 'Personality Excretion', one of the privileges that the original protagonist Kim Sang-hyuk couldn't enjoy, is on a different level from the beginning.
I had the intention to make good use of my unique skill 'Personality Excretion' as my main ability. Honestly, I feel quite confident about it.
"What do you want to do in the future? Become a hero? A hunter?"
"The one that generates a lot of money."
"Then I guess you won't become a hero."
"Heroes don't make much money?"
"When you compare it to the top-tier heroes, they earn well, but those below A-Rank are basically doing volunteer work."
In that case, it won't work.
"Come to think of it, I have a reason besides money for not becoming a hero."
"Why?"
"As you know, if I become a hero, I'll have some seriously embarrassing hero names. 'Personality Excretion Man,' 'Onahole Man'…"
"Hahaha!"
Yuuna burst into laughter without resistance, holding me and starting to laugh.
Having a unique talent as an 'Onahole Collector' is already chilling, but what if you catch villains as the 'Personality Excretion Man'?
Becoming the top pervert hero in Seoul is just a matter of time.
"I can't be a villain for the same reason. It'll be in the news tomorrow: 'Inhuman Onahole Villain Assaults Women in the City…'"
"Ahaha, stop, stop, it's too funny."
As Yuuna laughed almost to tears, the eyes of the surrounding students were drawn to us.
Whether you say it or not, Yuuna really looked happy.
Pretty girls are still beautiful when they laugh.
"Ah, I'm happy. It's been a long time since I laughed like this."
"It would be perfect if Onahole Princess came in as a sidekick"
"Ahaha, really, stop it…! I'm getting hungry!"
Huh? Where did Hena go?
When the girl with a cosmic monster presence known for her big breasts disappeared, I immediately noticed.
I look behind me and realize that my henna is sagging.
Her head is bowed and her mood is somber.
She hadn't said a word since earlier…
"Hena."
I speak to her affectionately.
In response, Hena suddenly lifted her head, her eyes sparkling.
"Yes?! D-Did you call me, Sang-hyuk?"
"Why are you stepping back like that? Stand right next to me."
"…Yes! I'll stand right next to you."
No, not so close that I can feel the warmth of your breasts.
I'm worried about my childhood friend clinging to my arm and playfully bumping her chest as if we were lovers.
Anyway, the first of us to go was Yuuna.
"Haaaaat!"
Oh, wow. Her sword skill was flashing and dazzling. The distance was too far to notice anything else, but Yuuna's swordsmanship was impressive.
"991 points!"
Yuuna cheerfully flashed a V sign and expressed her joy to us.
"Amazing."
"Is that a high score?"
"Yes! Very high. Top three in our class."
How high would my score be? Although I've only been through a dungeon once, I am, after all, the main character of 'Onaaka'. So, honestly, it's a given that I'll achieve a score that will astound everyone here, right? After completing the test for a while, I (according to my taste) imagined their reactions.
("Wow, Sang-hyuk… you're amazing! I'm so proud to be friends with Sang-hyuk!")
("How can you score 2,000 points more than me? You're so cool!")
("Sorry for underestimating you as a D-Rank! ♡♡")
Haha, this is great. Wait a minute, it seems like some erotic lines are mixed in? Retreat from my healthy delusion! You lewd spirits of adult games!
"Next up is Hena's turn."
Hena is clearly nervous.
"Who's that girl?"
"I don't know, but her chest is really big."
"She's sulking."
'Someone with a big chest and sulking,' that seemed to be the evaluation of Hena by the class students. It was hard to understand why everyone said that about Hena, a super cute girl, but it appeared to be the consensus.
I didn't mind the feeling that I was the only one who knew Hena's charm.
If only she'd jiggle her boobs a little to make it clearer, the boys would go crazy. Hena's fighting style was that of a very static mage. I could barely tell she was doing something from her stance while facing the scarecrow.
"How many points?"
Hena returned and asked hesitantly.
"320 points…"
"Did I make it?"
"Yeah, it seems so. It was 290 points before…"
"Good job."
"Well done, Hena!"
Yuuna held Hena's hand and said as she led her.
"Come on, come sit here."
"…Can I sit next to you?"
"What's wrong with friends sitting together?"
Um, is it my turn now?
"Oh, Sang-hyuk. Go for it!"
"Kim Sang-hyuk, set a new high!"
"I'll go and come back."
I received the farewells of the two smiling girls and walked to the center. The scarecrow was quite far from where the spectators were. Everyone maintained their distance because the skill damage extended beyond that. Only the measuring teacher stood near the scarecrow.
The name of the measuring teacher was Dale Hardnett. He was a mid-20s Hunter who looked young and wore a suit, but Yuuna said that during scarecrow measurements, only S-Rank or higher Hunters are involved.
This means that the guy in front of me is an S-Rank Hunter at the top of the academy's food chain. Thinking about it, he looked pretty cool.
"Move to your position."
"Yes."
Let's not underestimate him.
It wasn't just because he was an S-Rank Hunter. It was because Dale had a Benelli Series semi-automatic shotgun on his back, which looked quite threatening.
"6 seconds."
[Activating 'Penetration (Crimson)']
[Basic Magic Scarecrow HP (34399/35000)]
[A scarecrow mainly used for damage measurement at the academy. Surprisingly, it requires a lot of magic power to produce.]
[Manufacturer – Seredwen Evelyn]
[Equipment from the Etsol Academy student council. The quality is quite good for a mass-produced item.]
'…As expected, because it's a scarecrow, it doesn't seem to have any weaknesses.'
However, it's a basic scarecrow. Can this basic scarecrow withstand my Personality Excretion?
Something I could 'smash' and not feel guilty about it.
It was the perfect target for me.
"Personality Excretion Smash!!!"
My ultimate move shouted.
[Achievement Unlocked: 'Loss of Humanity']
[Strength +1]
It was just a regular straight punch from the rear hand that had real weight, but that was all there was to it.
I couldn't penetrate the scarecrow's body…
But it didn't end there!
"Personality, Excretion!"
Two clean punches!
Thunk! Thunk!
A clean one-two was nailed into the scarecrow's head.
It was splendid.
"6 seconds are up. 18 points."
18 points?
At first, I thought I must have misheard. It's not 180 points, but 18 points?
'Personality Excretion' is supposed to be the most potent attack!
'Is it immune to excretion because it's a scarecrow?'
I was too late to realize something that anyone could have guessed.
'Well, actually, I did anticipate it.'
…Are we going for a serious development here?
What happened to the whimsical and random scenarios that the Goddess of Adult Games usually favors?
Shouldn't the protagonist get a perfect score and have scarecrows explode?
"Next 30 seconds."
But knowing that doesn't change anything. I was still heavily limited in what I could do to the scarecrow.
'Ugh!'
I was the hands-on type!
Anyway, I had to try everything I could.
"Personality Excretion Drop Kick!!"
Using the combat skill I learned from Goblin Onahole Collection, 'Yaksha Charge', I executed a drop kick!
Pwaaaack!
The shock of the drop kick, which gained momentum in the air, precisely pierced the scarecrow's ribcage!
It's a scarecrow, but to use it on a living creature would be too inhumane.
[Achievement Unlocked: "Inhumane Personality Excretion"]
[Agility +1]
Look at all these achievements! It feels great!
2000 points, no, 10,000 points, here we come!
"Personality Excretion Calf Kick!"
The 30 seconds of pouring out all my strength felt much longer than expected.
I calmed my breathing and inserted combinations calmly.
"30 seconds are up. You scored 79 points."
What happened to my DPS2!
This was the moment when I realized how much of a loser I was in this world.
For some reason, the onlookers in the distance seemed to be laughing at me.
"Ugh. Wasn't this supposed to be the event where the protagonist shines?"
Why isn't this normal event working as it should?
I'm not enjoying adult games as much as my roommate, but I'm just an ordinary guy.
Even while my mental state was shaking due to the harsh scoring.
"Next, 2 minutes."
The longest segment of the test begins.
Even with my mental state shaken, I decided to give it my all and extend my fist with all my strength.
Swoosh.
"Breathless, Personality Excretion!"
[Achievement Unlocked: "Destructive Personality Excretion"]
[Strength +1]
[Achievement Unlocked: "It's Useless to Resist!"]
[Dexterity +1]
Personality Excretion Reversal, Personality Excretion Solar Plexus, Personality Excretion Corkscrew, Personality Excretion Elbow, Personality Excretion Flying Knee Kick…
Hitting continuously without taking a breath was exhausting.
"Heuk. Huk."
"2 minutes are up. Total score: 252 points."
Lower than Hena…!?
A cute and lovely childhood friend with her big breasts swaying freely.
She's about 100 points stronger than my breathless Personality Excretion barrage?
'I can't accept this…!'
"Can't you accept the results?"
"…"
Dale taps the panel.
My evaluation was supposed to be written there.
"I didn't participate in the previous measurement, but Kim Sang-hyuk, I can tell that your mindset has changed."
Is it a compliment?
"Increase the variety of your skills and raise your stats. Explore the dungeon's secrets more actively."
What's certain is that the feedback from an S-Rank hunter pinpoints my shortcomings.
"Got it!"
"Next!"
I bow and step back. The feeling of having my sense of self-importance, built up while being treated as the protagonist, disappears. I was still far from being a mature hunter.
"How was it?"
I take the tumbler that Yuuna hands me and speak calmly.
"252 points."
"For a D-Rank, that's actually pretty good."
The phrase 'for a D-Rank' stings my chest. Yuuna, realizing that I don't look pleased, closes her mouth.
"Sorry."
"I'm only saying this because it's bruised my pride, but next time, I'll aim for over 10,000 points."
"…Wouldn't it be better to set a more realistic goal?"
"It's realistic. Just wait and see."
My current position is at the bottom, so that's why. The fact that I have a unique growth curve sets me apart from others. Even if that growth curve is achieved through 'Onahole Collection'… it's important that I can build up power without raping multiple women!
"That's a score that would put you in the top tier of A-Rank Hunters… but it's possible…."
"Wanna bet?"
Yuuna stiffens, taking a defensive stance.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Apologize for not recognizing the genius D-Rank Kim Sanghyuk and grovel."
"It's just humiliating!"
What, did you think I was going to ask you to let me touch your boobs? I'm not that low-class… probably.
"How about Hena?"
"I… think Sang-hyuk can do it."
"Hena! What's wrong with you falling for him?"
"But, Sang-hyuk, you know, you used to score only 8 points."
8 points…?
8 points? So I almost didn't make it, right? I must have improved a lot. Clearly, it's a dramatic change that only Hena, who's set as a childhood friend, would notice. If I can go from 8 points to 252 points, I have a pure belief that I can even reach 10,000 points.
Hena shyly smiles.
"So, I'm betting on 'I can make it'."
"Hmm, then what… Shall I help a bit?"
"Yuuna?"
"Is there a problem with a capable B-Rank Hunter joining the party?"
"No way. Of course not."
Yuuna Nakamori joined the party! I felt like I was receiving a notification like that.
"Also, I was afraid to ask."
"Hmm?"
Yuuna seemed to have difficulty saying something, and she was embarrassed in front of me.
Her ears kept getting redder as she watched me.
"Why?"
When I asked again, Yuuna spoke with a trembling voice.
"Number."
"Number?"
"Phone… number…."
Realizing what she meant, I smiled.
Yesterday, I was labeled as an asshole multiple times, but today, I've been getting phone numbers since the morning. I added my number to Yuuna's phone.
"I also sent my Dawnstar ID3."
"Where's the photo you took with me?"
I check it right away.
"I deleted that. I gained 300,000 followers overnight."
"Isn't that a profit?"
"When everyone started asking who the guy was… It felt like I was profiting off your face, so I just deleted it."
Hmm. Is this the life of a facial genius? My heart swells with pride.
"Anyway… I'll contact you, Kim Sang-hyuk."
"Feel free to."
Seeing how happy she was to receive my number, I couldn't help but smile at Yuuna's expression as her cheeks melted with joy. Indeed, cheat codes are cheat codes.
I was glad I could look at the beautiful faces of the two without feeling like a criminal.
(End of Chapter 16)
This chapter was hilarious, I straight up chuckled when he was rapping his moves.
Climbing the Ranks.
In RPGs DPS stands for; Damage Per-Second.
Social media similar to Instagram, etc.
