…This is pretty embarrassing.

    Even after creampieing my girlfriend’s mom this morning, walking to the academy holding hands with my pretty girlfriend felt like a whole new experience.

    It was something I could never have imagined back in my non-eroge days.

    My palms were sweating.

    “…”

    I could see Hena was shy, too. The more we felt it, the tighter we held each other’s hands.

    We even interlocked our fingers openly.

    I think I’m getting hard.

    I’d already shot my load several times this morning, but this thing had no intention of wilting.

    I guess it’s only natural for a body that has to withstand the gravity of a harem.

    But if I kept rubbing myself against my girls’ mounds, begging them to get my dick off, I don’t think I’d be able to function in daily life.

    “Hena. You said there was something going on today?”

    In the second-year locker room.

    I gave my gun a quick check-up where I stood and asked Hena about today’s classes.

    “There’s an exchange event.”

    “An exchange event?”

    “Yeah. Students from other classes and other years will be participating in the exploration.”

    A larger-scale dungeon exploration, then?

    I thought most of the dungeons in the academy were low-rank, so I was curious how this would work.

    When we got to the classroom, everyone was already heading to the indoor training facility.

    “Kim Sang-hyeok! Hena! Good morning to you both?”

    My second girlfriend, Yuuna, greeted me with a smile.

    “Good morning.”

    I took both Hena’s and Yuuna’s hands at the same time.

    The two of them looked up at me, their cheeks flushing red.

    “Let’s get going. I’ll explain the exchange event on the way.”

    “Did I tell you I didn’t know about it?”

    “You’ve never done it before, so you wouldn’t know anyway. Right?”

    “That’s true.”

    My dungeon wife. She knows me too well.

    The great thing about Yuuna is her broad-mindedness and understanding. She plays along perfectly with my cover story of having lost all my memories from my first year at the academy.

    And she’s pretty.

    “The exchange event is when they gather students from different years and classes who don’t usually interact and have them do a mass dive.”

    “A mass dive?”

    “Not all dungeons require a three-person squad to enter. Some are formed by all sorts of complex, tangled gravity waves creating a single dungeon.”

    “And we all go in there together?”

    “Exactly. So you can expect the competition for contribution points to be even fiercer than usual.”

    Even fiercer than usual…

    If dozens of people dive at the same time, the value of the MVP award is bound to go up.

    Could this be a good chance to shed my D-rank image?

    “That MVP award sounds pretty tempting.”

    “I’ll be there too, so it won’t be easy, you know~?”

    “Don’t underestimate my new weapon.”

    It’s a shotgun that can fire Moonlight rounds, no less.

    I showed her the Benelli slung over my back as I spoke.

    “That’s a similar weapon to that S-rank hunter, isn’t it?”

    “I even received some elemental training.”

    “That paints a good picture. Your skills have improved so much, no one can look down on you for using a gun anymore.”

    “Sang-hyeok is so cool.”

    Hena smiled bashfully.

    It’s about time I started showing what I can do. I mean, I already played a big part with the shark giant, but…

    It’s only natural for the protagonist to monopolize lucky encounters and take the spotlight.

    The only reason I insisted on using a gun, for a job I probably could have done with a baseball bat, was simple.

    It’s just way easier.

    I believe I’ve now reached a stage where I can fully utilize the tactical advantages of a firearm.

    If things get rough, my Personality Excretion Smash will start spitting fire, but my basic plan is to pull the trigger and comfortably reap the rewards.

    “Hena. Are you okay?”

    As we entered the indoor training facility, which was more crowded than usual, a cowed Hena stuck close to my side.

    Her breasts are so soft…

    “There are so many people… It’s overwhelming…”

    On top of that, with her bangs pushed back, Hena was already drawing attention for being pretty in addition to having massive breasts.

    “Our squad is getting a lot of attention,” Yuuna said.

    “Rumors have been spreading that I’m two-timing.”

    Sure enough, I could hear people whispering about whether we were F-class’s “Onahole Party.”

    Yuuna gave a bitter smile.

    “I even got the nickname ‘Onahole Princess.’”

    “For better or worse, I guess we’ve become the Onahole Squad.”

    It wasn’t like I could complain about being called the Onahole Squad, especially since Kushina, a real onahole, was a secret member…

    And we do make onaholes while we hunt.

    “The reason the Student Council President drags you around is because of that onahole-making skill, right?”

    “Yeah.”

    It’s technically Personality Excretion, but to Yuuna, excretion and onahole creation were both just fucking perverted skills, so there was no point in distinguishing between them.

    “A lot of people will be watching during the exchange event. If you’re going to hide it, you should hide it well.”

    “That’s the plan. I can just earn coins with you guys.”

    This time, I’ll skip the whole process of excreting personalities and making onaholes one by one.

    It wasn’t a complete secret, but my mindset was to avoid anything that would be a hassle.

    “There are so many people.”

    Lots of first-years, lots of second-years…

    Who were those people in black suits looking down at us from the second floor?

    Academy staff?

    “They’ve even brought in camera equipment. What’s going on?”

    “That’s Stardust.”

    “Stardust?”

    “You don’t know? They’re the biggest conglomerate in Korea.”

    Yuuna asked back, as if I’d just said, “What’s Samsung?”

    It seemed to be common knowledge in the world of Onahole Academy.

    “Why are corporate people snooping around here?”

    “Did you just come down from meditating on a mountain or something?”

    I guess I would have been a little frustrated too if a friend of mine asked what Samsung was.

    “But you’ll still explain it to me nicely, right?”

    As if the question was ridiculous, Yuuna puffed out her chest and smiled.

    “Corporations and hunters have a very close relationship. It would be a problem if individuals monopolized all the profits from dungeons, right? So corporations diversify and protect hunters’ income and provide various conveniences for them.”

    “Like an idol agency, you mean? And they’re here to scout people.”

    “Exactly. There are probably quite a few scouts from foreign companies, too. That’s the advantage of a prestigious academy like this.”

    I understood now that the exchange event was a kind of gateway to success.

    The system was probably that you build up your strength in dungeons, and if you stand out at an exchange event, a corporation makes you an offer.

    Becoming a corporate hunter would be convenient in many ways, and you’d make good money.

    “Did you become a hunter through scouting, Yuuna?”

    “No way. I just went to the Hunter Association on my own. You have to be really amazing to get scouted already. Usually, you get a market evaluation first.”

    “A market evaluation?”

    “The scouts assign a value to you. That becomes the hunter’s price tag.”

    Numbers after letters? This world is really competitive.

    I could understand ranking students from their academy days, but putting a price tag on them felt a bit much.

    Even with all the romance of catching magical beasts and learning skills in dungeons, it seemed the fierce competition of Korean society was still alive and well here.

    “By the way, each company’s database is public, so you can check it anytime.”

    Yuuna showed me that it was possible to check right away.

    “Here, look. I’m 14,950 coins.”

    “Is my name on there?”

    “Not yet! You have to work hard to get known.”

    I was curious, though.

    What my highest market value would be.

    Is it like a bounty in a pirate manga?

    Even if it wasn’t a measure of my strength, it was an indicator that could indirectly tell me how much influence I had.

    “Huh? Hena’s on here, too?”

    “Hena is?”

    “Me?”

    We all focused on the screen, surprised.

    Hena… 57,800 Coins (Note 1: Appearance is exceptionally outstanding)

    “…”

    “…”

    Yuuna and I simultaneously glanced at Hena’s breasts.

    Hena covered her chest and hung her head low.

    “S-Sorry…”

    “Yeah… for a woman, it’s all about the tits and the face…”

    I gently stroked the head of a dejected Yuuna.

    “Your face is pretty too, Yuuna. Let’s show them what we’ve got this time.”

    “It’s hard to look pretty when you’re busy clashing with monsters…”

    She’s really sulking now, isn’t she, Yuuna?

    It was understandable. As a B-rank pro hunter, she had lost to Hena, who had no career to speak of.

    It was a blow to her pride.

    “The Yuuna I’ve seen has always looked pretty, even when she’s fighting.”

    “You’re really the only one for me, Sang-hyeok…♡”

    Yuuna threw herself into my arms.

    Pat, pat.

    The stares from those around us were a little sharp, but who cares?

    We were in the middle of realizing that all that matters is our own happiness.

    That said, making out and drawing too much attention in a place like this would just make us an obnoxious couple.

    We kept it brief and separated.

    Though they were some distance away, I could see Serena and Stella.

    So the first-years are here, too.

    Ugh, and Dihrit is here as well.

    “Dihrit’s market value is 210,000 coins.”

    “The power of an A-rank mage, huh?”

    “Yeah. Mages get favorable evaluations. And Dihrit’s older sister is famous among the third-years.”

    “I have an A-rank mage among my sisters, too.”

    Yuuna thought for a moment.

    “Your sister? Ah, the blonde one? I’ve seen her at a few exchange events, but she never really did anything that stood out.”

    “…”

    That girl. She lacks so much versatility.

    She probably got tangled up in some weird variable and couldn’t even display a tenth of her true ability.

    “Ah, I didn’t mean that in a bad way. Don’t get me wrong.”

    “No. As her older brother, I know exactly what you mean.”

    “The second-year sisters, Cannika and Sanvika, are here too. Over there.”

    Are they twins? They were too far away to see clearly, but I could tell they were pretty.

    “The twin sisters’ market value is 900,000 coins.”

    “The numbers are suddenly jumping up.”

    “That’s how it is for particularly noteworthy squads.”

    Our Onahole Squad’s combined value doesn’t even break 100,000…

    “A lot of amazing freshmen have gathered. The warrior ‘Brigid,’ 1.13 million. The necromancer ‘Kibele,’ 2.39 million. The greatsword user ‘Hilaria,’ 5.11 million…”

    “…”

    They’re younger than me, but they’re living in an unbelievable world.

    A strange thought occurred to me as I scanned the promising rookies whose success was all but guaranteed.

    In the past, I wouldn’t have even been able to get close to these shining, top-value female students.

    “Ah. See that tall guy over there? That’s Vesta… his market value is already 8 million. He’s handsome and has a reputation for being kind. He has a lot of female fans, and most importantly, his ability is…”

    I squeezed Yuuna’s hand, cutting her off.

    “Ngh!?”

    “Hey. Enough about the guy. Stop.”

    “…”

    Yuuna’s cheeks turned red.

    “O-Okay… I’m sorry, Sang-hyeok…”

    Hearing my girlfriend talk about another guy pissed me off, so I just shut it down.

    Who gives a damn about some male prospect? Skip.

    For all his loud boasting, Dihrit’s value wasn’t even that high.

    Though, considering most of the hundreds of people gathered here were like me, without a proper evaluation, I suppose it was high.

    …I have to surpass that, at least.

    The protagonist’s blood boiled.

    Why am I at 0 coins? A part of me that couldn’t accept that had emerged.

    “Ah…”

    Just then, Yuuna’s gaze seemed to be stolen by someone.

    I followed her line of sight and found myself staring, mesmerized.

    There was an unbelievably beautiful girl among the first-years.

    The atmosphere around her was completely different.

    The girl, standing there in a customized set of armor over her uniform, was clearly solo, without any teammates.

    No one dared to approach her.

    Her hair was a light crimson. She had a truly delicate and pretty face, the very image of a beautiful young girl.

    “I thought she was still on an overseas expedition.”

    “Who is she?”

    “Quintia. She’s the Sword Saint’s daughter.”

    It was faster to look for her market value at the top of the list.

    I found her name in the top-tier section, where the number of zeroes changed in a flash.

    “130 million coins.”

    I was purely in awe.

    It was an overwhelming gap, one I couldn’t even imagine closing right now.

    How could she have received such an evaluation at such a young age?

    “…”

    “Yuuna?”

    “I knew of her before she enrolled… I’m a little nervous. So she’s participating in this exchange event.”

    “Have you ever talked to her?”

    “…No. I just watched her sword skills and learned by copying them…”

    So she’s like a junior she looks up to?

    [Insight – Red activated.]

    In that moment, I was so startled that I deactivated the skill.

    I had the distinct feeling that Quintia, who had been standing far away, had just turned to look in my direction.

    Did she notice? No, more importantly…

    For a brief moment, her eyes were crimson, too.

    No way…

    …Is it the same skill!?

    Of all the things I received from En, this was the only one that wasn’t a “Power.”

    It was simply a high-grade skill.

    It wouldn’t be strange if someone else had the original.

    A fellow user of Insight – Red.

    Quintia stared intently at me.

    …Damn. I’ve been caught.

    I pretended not to notice and looked away.

    It wouldn’t do me any good to get on her radar already…

    “Sang-hyeok. The professor is here.”

    Hena called out to me.

    Just then, someone appeared through the open training facility doors, and the hall fell surprisingly silent.

    Huh? Seridwen?
