14. Is It Wrong to Pursue Yuri in a Dungeon?

* * *

At my words, the bastard flinched and waved his hands defensively – clearly unaware he was digging his own grave.

“What bullshit! Black God Cult my ass!”

Seems turning into a monster made this idiot even dumber. The evidence is literally written all over him.

“You dumb fuck, the star-shaped tattoo on your neck is proof. Plus you’re oozing dark energy everywhere. Might as well wear a ‘I’m Black Cult’ sign, dipshit.”

This is a classic case of monsterfication-induced brain rot.

“You fucking bitch! Today I’ll disgrace you worse than anyone’s ever been disgraced!”

“Don’t care, didn’t ask. *giggle*”

Never thought I’d say something like that. But hey, biologically I’m female now. Whatever.

Enraged, his veins bulged grotesquely as he finally lost control and charged.

*CRACK*

Simultaneously, Fire Bat’s flaming club smashed into him, sending the bastard flying into the dungeon entrance like a shooting star. Kim Ji-hye nonchalantly shook blood off her weapon with the grace of a true instructor.

“Strikeout, teach. Did you kill him?”

“Hit him hard enough, but we need info from the bastard. Can’t kill him yet.”

I already know who’s behind this though.

“How do we retrieve that trash from inside?”

“Don’t I have excellent underlings? Listen up – your new trial begins now!”

Trial? Is this woman actually insane?

“Enter the dungeon and capture the monster Kim Seung-jun! If necessary, beat him within an inch of his life! Succeed and I’ll give you all top marks!”

She’s just lazy. From a student perspective, defeating a monster would warrant high scores anyway. And this trash instructor won’t have to bother teaching properly.

Not Fire Bat – more like Trash Inferno. Sending untrained students against a deranged monster? It’s like arming peasants with farming tools and throwing them against Genghis Khan’s horde.

“Instructor.”

“What?”

“Do all freshmen really need to go? Dead students would tarnish your precious reputation.”

In the original, over half of Hanseong’s students died to monsters. As one of Korea’s top three hunter academies, such losses crippled future forces against the Black Cult and Sins. The author loved “what-if” scenarios – saving more students now means more hunters for China’s warlord villains later.

“I suppose…though now I look like the villain here.”

“You were always the villain.”

“*Ahem* Anyway, subdue Seung-jun and I’ll cancel midterms for Class A.”

She must feel guilty – that’s a huge concession.

“Can we even beat a monster?”

“He already took a bat to the face. We can handle him.”

It’s just a dream anyway. Full send.

“Wooooah!”

“Hell yeah!”

The idiots cheered. While other classes entered their assigned dungeons, only me, Reina and Han Suji would enter ours.

Class A isn’t weak – it’s filled with guild affiliates and scions of prominent families. I’m only here by virtue of being the Divine Sword wielder’s sister. Missing one dungeon won’t hurt their development.

“So just me, Reina and Suji should go.”

“Hmm. Maybe.”

Truthfully, if we’d had just Si-woo instead of these extras, handling Seung-jun would’ve been easy. Even just Reina could strategize. But with this “balanced” team, we need mythic weapon users.

“Bringing Bbeopmi-jjang would perfect the party.”

I gathered Reina, Han Suji, and magical girl Kim Bbeopmi.

“This is spirit archer Reina and Flame Spear Han Suji. This is Bbeopmi-jjang – mascot of Reform Guild, real name Kim Bbeopmi. We’ve dungeon-crawled together.”

“Hawawa~ I’m Kim Bbeopmi! Nice to meet you~”

Reina looked conflicted while Suji glared daggers at me.

“When did you two…?”

“During school breaks.”

Reina seemed puzzled, but Suji’s narrowed eyes screamed betrayal.

What, am I not allowed female friends after kissing her? Unfair. A true alpha attracts many mates. Biologically female or not, my heart remains that of a man who loves women. I won’t be chained to one.

“Now about Seung-jun – unless he gained unique abilities, he’s just a brainless brute.”

The problem is his enhanced magic control. For some reason, I taught him dragon conjuration instead of simple orbs. Better magic means better physical enhancement – he’s stronger than in the original.

Our ideal strategy: use the other two as meat shields while Reina and Suji DPS. Now with Bbeopmi, we have perfect damage dealers.

“Hawawa~ Who are we hunting?”
“A cadet turned monster via core implantation.”
“The one yeeted inside earlier?”
“Yes.”
“Can we harvest the core~?”

No, that’d kill him. We need him alive for intel on the Black Cult.

“The Association should handle monster cases.”
“Hawawa~ Too bad~ But Bbeopmi-jjang will help unnie~”

I’m getting used to this ridiculous act, but Reina and Suji look disgusted. Their expressions scream “why is she friends with this clown?”

“She’s actually a good person.”
“So that’s your type.”
“Misunderstanding. She acts like this to channel magic better.”

Power-wise, Bbeopmi’s easily C-rank or higher. Just that godawful speech pattern…

“Hawawa~ Bbeopmi-jjang is Bbeopmi-jjang~”
“Apparently.”

She matches my deadpan perfectly yet can’t read the room. I’ll expose Reform Guild’s crimes someday.

Goblin’s Labyrinth

The dungeon resembles a forest. Normally features goblin captains or mages as bosses, but now it’s Seung-jun. That idiot probably slaughtered the original boss despite poor monster energy control.

“This training dungeon has goblins and horned rabbits.”
“Horned rabbits? Those cute bunny things?”
“Careful – they’ll skullfuck you to death.”

Both are among the weakest monsters. Goblins need no explanation – classic cannon fodder. Horned rabbits have unicorn-like horns.

Deceptively adorable but vicious – get surrounded and they’ll strip you to the bone. Absolute menaces.

“Hawawa~ Look everyone~ Horned bunnies~!”

True enough – crimson-eyed rabbits with glittering horns watched us from the brush.

“Seriously? Seasoned hunters getting excited over these?”
“Fireball!”

Before I could stop her, Bbeopmi yeeted a fireball, roasting the rabbit instantly.

“Huh?”
“We made food~!”

The charred bunny corpse was inedible – unskinned, ungutted, now charcoal.

“Bbeopmi-jjang, that’s burnt. Toss it.”
“Kay~”

She pouted and discarded it. Deeper in, goblins and rabbits multiplied, making progress tedious.

“Eeeek!”
“Ugh disgusting goblins!”

A pack appeared, leering at us with lustful eyes. Classic goblin behavior – they see human women as breeding stock. Their slobbering gazes roaming my chest ignited my fury.

“Where you looking, fuckers?”
“Y-yeah! P-perverts!”

Suji got angrier than me, igniting her spear. Reina’s spirit arrow pierced a goblin’s throat while Suji exploded heads. Bbeopmi provided fiery support.

I just watched.

“Wow. You girls are amazing.”

I gave them three claps.

“W-why aren’t you helping?”
“Yeah! Quit smoking in the back and fight!”
“Hawawa~!”

Too lazy. Also conserving stamina for Seung-jun. But these are Si-woo’s harem members – if Reina tattles to him, I’m screwed.

Placing hands on their shoulders, I whispered:

“I believe in you. Knew you could handle goblins without me.”

Their eyes dilated violently. Suji grinned while Reina’s thighs clenched. Even Bbeopmi’s eyes sparkled.

“So cool~!”
…Did I just gain another harem member? Why?
