"It's a shame your body froze when you first saw the goblins, but your response afterwards was perfect. How much did you increase your bracelet's output?"
"40%."
"That was very dangerous. After reviewing the footage, it wasn't 40% output. It looks more like 10%..."
Instructor Ryu's words weren't really registering. The main skill's output wasn't important right now.
Since the novel's title was 'Academy Pure Love Diary', I naturally thought there would be only one female lead.
But a harem pure love story?
'How many more will appear from now on?'
Just looking at Instructor Ryu, she already liked Kim Minsu.
Suddenly the future looked dark. The original work had gone on hiatus from this point.
The fact that nothing was decided meant the heroines could be duplicated.
'If only I could just kill Kim Minsu...'
The quest conditions were extremely thorough and cunning. They definitively blocked the fastest method.
The quickest way to stop a harem pure love story is to eliminate the man at the center, which was really unfortunate.
"Cadet Taeyang?"
"Yes?"
"Is it difficult just thinking about what happened then? If it's hard, we can postpone the investigation."
Looking at the screen, monsters were dying in real-time.
The sight of goblins, kobolds, and orcs all having their necks burst with one punch was exhilarating to see again.
'But was I smiling while killing monsters just now?'
It was eerie. I was too out of it to realize at the time, but the me in the video had a face tasting thrilling pleasure.
The corners of my mouth were up to my ears, and my arms were stained green. My hair shimmered white-green as if sprinkled with emeralds.
'I don't know who the monster is.'
I was dragging monster heads around and kicking their limp bodies.
The occasional screams of people weren't because of the monsters, but because of my actions.
"It's fine. Instructor, please continue."
"Let's start by lowering the bracelet's output again. Please adjust the output to 1%."
As I manipulated the ring on the bracelet, the number indicating output rapidly decreased.
When it reached 1%, my body felt light, like when I first put on the bracelet.
"Well... to explain again, your monster response was clean. Your use of abilities and range control were excellent too."
"Thank you..."
"And at the same time, it was too reckless. Cadet Taeyang, you still don't know your own strength."
"I'm sorry..."
"But sometimes awakened ones need to make bold attempts in front of monsters."
Her words were too fast. The researcher I saw at the department store was like this too, and so was Instructor Ryu.
It was the type that had to finish saying everything before listening to others.
While I was seriously considering which rhythm to match, Instructor Ryu manipulated the screen.
"The gate and monsters are actually such an exceptional case... we haven't fully grasped it either."
Instructor Ryu continued speaking while manipulating the screen.
"As you can see on the screen, there's another peculiar point besides the monsters. It's..."
Saying that, Instructor Ryu paused.
I wondered why, but what she showed by manipulating the screen was my pants.
More precisely, it was the crotch area, where a strange light was emanating.
'Do I shoot beams from my crotch too...?'
It was such a faint light that it wouldn't be visible without magnifying 100 times.
This might be the unidentified skill in my information window.
"Um... do you have any idea... why this light... is coming from here...?"
"From the crotch?"
"Eh?! Ah... yes yes... the crotch..."
Her lack of experience with men was obvious. This must be a common setting for women around Kim Minsu.
He really was a guy desperate not to show his virgin side from start to finish.
"I'm not sure."
"I-if you look, the light is forming some strange shape. As if it's about to burst out."
To be honest, she was the type I really wanted to tease.
I wanted to say it was semen and see her reaction.
"I'm sorry, I was too flustered at the time."
"Yes, I understand completely. It can happen."
As soon as she finished speaking, Instructor Ryu quickly changed the screen.
This time, a single sheet of paper was shown.
On the A4-sized paper, ink was smeared, clearly showing traces of something being hastily rubbed out after writing.
"You might be wondering why I suddenly showed you this paper."
Honestly, I wasn't wondering, but I nodded appropriately, feeling like I should go along with it.
"This paper appeared suddenly. We found it while investigating the video at 0.05x speed."
I was dying to get to the main point, wondering why she was beating around the bush so much.
"When we restored the smeared ink parts, the names and numbers of monsters that appeared in the department store were written exactly."
"So that means...?"
The paper on the screen was restored to its state before the ink smeared.
As Instructor Ryu said, the monster names and total numbers were written.
"As expected..."
"Huh? Do you have any guesses?"
"Ah, no, I just had a feeling something would be written on the paper."
"You have good intuition. To be precise, these monsters were clearly summoned intentionally by someone."
It was a moment when my private thoughts received perfect verification.
I was actually unsure just from the cliché incident in the morning, but seeing the paper made it certain.
'That bastard Glasses Fatty...'
The author was trying to kill me.
"Do you have any idea who might have done it?"
"I'm not sure about that. There weren't any suspicious people at the scene."
Glasses Fatty was more meticulous than he looked.
'All the plans I made initially have become meaningless.'
Trying to do something with Yumin's cooperation was all meaningless now.
It was time to revise the plan from start to finish.
++++++++++++++
"Thank you for your hard work."
"You too, Instructor."
"Somehow we ended up taking until lunchtime. I'm sorry."
"It's what I had to do, and I'm glad I could understand the situation in detail."
The moments of meeting and parting are when human sociability is maximized.
I wrapped things up in a good situation while being as polite as possible and walked to the cafeteria.
'There's more than one or two things to sort out...'
I hurriedly opened my phone's memo app and typed as thoughts came to mind.
The paper at the department store, the light coming from my dick, Glasses Fatty trying to kill me.
There were countless things to write down.
'Should I eat at the convenience store and finish organizing this...'
It's a shame, as I had decided to eat penne pasta and bacon risotto for lunch today.
As I walked down the corridor licking my lips, the surroundings were strangely noisy. I could guess the reason.
Every time I passed between cadets, hot gazes brushed past my body.
'My connections are definitely good.'
According to what I heard from Instructor Ryu, the department store chairman spent a lot of money.
News was basic, and he did extensive image-making through massive interviews.
[Department Store Monsters? "I Wasn't Worried at All Because Victory Cadets Were There."]
[Chairman Choi Youngnam's Sharp Criticism! "Journalists Bothering Cadets Who Saved People, Will Eradicate Them All"]
[Compensation for Rescued People... "Will Do Our Best for Their Return to Normal Life"]
["Infinite Gratitude to Cadets Baek Taeyang and Yoo Sujin" Chairman Choi Youngnam Bows His Head in Thanks for Heroic Actions!]
There were hundreds of articles that would appear just by opening the internet screen after closing the memo app.
Seeing him take a crisis that could have ruined all his businesses and use it as an opportunity to leap forward, he was definitely a businessman.
The more Chairman Choi Youngnam played the media, the more my popularity soared uncontrollably.
Later on, there might even be women asking me to write my name on their butts.
"Taeyang~!"
While I was walking and typing, I heard a familiar voice.
"Oh, Yumin."
I don't know where she left her boyfriend again, but she approaches me with a bright expression.
"Were you very busy? You didn't reply to my messages... I'm upset."
Perhaps because of yesterday's events, Yumin couldn't come on too strong.
Instead, she just nuzzled my cheek while cutely complaining.
"Ah right, I..."
I was about to ask about the contract since there was some time left.
Yumin seemed to know this and nodded before I could speak.
As if this wasn't a suitable place to talk, she took my hand and started leading me.
"Let's talk somewhere private."
"Where are we going?"
"You know..."
Yumin's eyes saying this were slightly tinged red.
++++++++++++++
'We're here again...'
As I expected, it was the 2-person theater room.
Whether by coincidence or intention, it was the same room where we had mixed flesh before.
Just seeing the bed reminds me of Yumin spreading her legs and gushing pussy juice.
"Do you want to see Yumin's pussy?"
I coughed at the words hitting the mark.
Unable to deny it, I sat on the bed.
Yumin naturally sat beside me, and in the blink of an eye, she snuggled into my arms.
"What... um..."
"I'm kidding."
Though her eyes were playful, her gaze was serious.
She probably tried to lighten the mood with a joke, but the connotation of "contract" was heavier than expected.
I knew all the contract contents. But the word "absolute trust" wasn't easy to accept.
"You probably know from seeing the contract contents, but I still can't use my power properly."
Just looking at the flowers created in the dormitory, I could guess.
For an always-active type, not being able to use it properly was definitely poison.
"Witches are always looking for someone to contract with, because that's how they stay safe."
An inheritable main skill had unimaginable value.
Let's say Yumin gave me the "Witch" skill right now.
Then instantly, a crazy character with two always-active main skills would be born.
That's why she had to hide even her main skill name.
"Witches... can see other people's main skills. It's like a struggle to find a contractor."
"Then..."
"That's right, I thought your Coercion could suppress me."
And it was the most valuable thing I could uniquely give.
With those final words, Yumin gazed at me intently.
It was a look waiting for my action, not my words.
'It makes sense.'
It was an understandable action.
Hiding your main skill name and looking for a contractor until you're over 20 is a difficult task.
Even more so if you have no one to rely on and can't control your power at will.
'But what about my Coercion?'
If Yumin saw the skill's ability too, everything makes sense.
A skill that suppresses the target's power to the extreme was the most essential element for Yumin.
Without saying anything, I gently took Yumin's hand.
---------------------------------=
Contract complete!
[Sub Skill] Witch's Blessing (S) {Weakened} changes to [Contract Skill] Witch's Blessing (S)!
[Contract Skill] Witch's Blessing (S) :: Physical abilities greatly increase. Absolute resistance to mental attacks like charm, confusion, etc. You see clearly.
(Always active type)
---------------------------------=
Though she was speaking calmly on the outside, I realized she was trembling when I held her hand.
How many people can completely show themselves and wait entirely for another person?
"Thank you for believing in me."
No more words were necessary.
As if promised, we embraced each other and began exploring each other's bodies.
With this, Yumin was essentially completely in my hands.
'Kim Minsu, just you wait.'
Now that all the puzzle pieces were gathered, it would take a month at most.
It was time to ruin Kim Minsu's first pure love.
