The daughter of Sungwoon Guild’s leader.

Lee Ji-hyun was currently in a deeply angered state.

From a young age, her friend Baekhwa had mostly listened to her words respectfully.

It was natural. She considered Baekhwa a friend, but Baekhwa thought of Lee Ji-hyun as a lady she should serve.

But what kind of situation was this now?

“So why did you enter the male-only bathroom…?”

“W-Well…! The four girls share two bathrooms, so I thought it was unfair for a guy to monopolize one!”

Realizing the feeling of being betrayed by a trusted friend, Lee Ji-hyun now held her forehead.

Simply because she thought it would be fun, she had decided to accept Park Ah-jun, a man, into the team and live together.

Of course, she mentioned that it was for team harmony and solidarity on the surface, but the real reason was just for fun.

“I never expected Baekhwa to dislike this so much… Should I drive her away? Since there’s no sign of improvement whatsoever.”

Since living together with Park Ah-jun, he had consistently made her happy, but she couldn’t continue dragging along Baekhwa’s resentment, who must lead the Sungwoon Guild with her in the future.

As befitting his rare profession, it would have been nice if he showed signs of improvement in strength.

Now, on the brink of practical training, his stats were dismal, if not deteriorating.

While his swordsmanship and physical strength stats had risen rapidly, his job grade and job skills remained at an F grade.

Moreover, his job grade had exceeded minus 30,000% experience points…

As job grade increased, the efficiency of job skills also improved, and penalties were added to growth factors, making this a very serious figure.

Although his skills in swordsmanship and physical strength, which anyone could learn, had improved rapidly, with his job grade so low, he couldn’t fully unleash their power.

“Oh, Miss! I’m sorry! I won’t do it again! Please forgive me just this once…”

“Stop. It’s fine; I’m also at fault.”

Park Ah-jun, who could be considered the victim, was not deliberately summoned.

He was in a position where he needed to receive an apology from Lee Ji-hyun, not a lecture, so there was no need to call him out in a situation where he needed to apologize to Baekhwa.

“Do you hate men that much?”

“What? Oh, no. It’s not that I hate men… I just don’t like situations where you get hurt because of that man…”

How loyal she is.

Lee Ji-hyun felt her anger dissipating. While it could be seen as just Baekhwa’s flattery or excuse, revealing her loyalty was like sweet candy that couldn’t be easily spit out.

“Phew. Fine. Let’s endure for a month for now. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll let him go and find a new team member.”

Baekhwa’s eyes began to widen significantly.

“Oh, this can’t be happening…”

“She’s moved~!”

Seeing Baekhwa’s bewildered expression, Lee Ji-hyun thought she had been moved.

However, Baekhwa was simply worried that her fantasy might crumble.

That night.

Having apologized for her mistake, Baekhwa was now thoroughly annoyed.

“Ugh! He’s a man, right? When you apologize…! Huh? So how are you going to apologize? You have to come out like this. Say it’s okay and that’s the end?!”

The reason was that Park Ah-jun had accepted the apology too easily.

In the erotic comics she had seen, in such situations, men who were caught off guard used that to shamelessly make women do disgraceful things.

With such expectations, she had gone to apologize alone… They say disappointment is greater when you have expectations.

Feeling betrayed, Baekhwa secretly took out the panties she had kept hidden.

A man’s square-cut briefs.

One day, Baekhwa picked up what Park Ah-jun had accidentally dropped while going to do his laundry.

“Oops! Ah!”

Judging by the strong scent of night-blooming flowers emanating from the square panties, Baekhwa buried her nose in them before starting to masturbate alone.

“Starting today, we will begin practical training.”

After the tedious theoretical lectures, the time for practical training finally arrived.

They had trained intensively for a week leading up to this day.

“Some people even get phone numbers from girls…”

“Hey, watch your language. Is this killing you?”

Sounds of gossiping behind me as if urging me to listen could be heard.

For the past week at the academy, I had been known as the unrivaled seducer of women using my profession, even including my own sister among those women, indicating how vicious the rumors were.

“What did you say? Are you calling us rags now?!”

“Daring to insult a lady?”

However, I didn’t show anger.

No, even if I wanted to, I couldn’t.

It was because my twin younger sister, Park Ah-young, who had grown to a D-level profession, and Baekhwa, who held the profession of a sword dancer, quickly stood up and shouted.

“Oh my! W-would anyone like some bread?”

“Both of you, stop it.”

Seeing this, Cha Yurin intervened as if trying to stop a fight, and Miss Lee Ji-hyun made them sit down.

They weren’t particularly forgiving; it was just class time for now.

Even if the other party was wrong, one had to endure it.

Of course, once the lecture was over, Cha Yurin and Lee Ji-hyun would immediately crush the opposition.

Cha Yurin, filled with vengeance to repay any disrespect due to her poor family background, and Lee Ji-hyun, the daughter of Guild Leader Seongwoon, embodied pride itself.

They wouldn’t tolerate being called rags due to their involvement with me.

“After class, we’ll settle this.”

“Oh, no, that’s not what we meant.”

Perhaps due to just becoming adults, these guys realized they had ended up insulting even Lee Ji-hyun, the daughter of Guild Leader Seongwoon, after foolishly trying to insult me amidst a group of girls.

So, they should have been more careful with their words.

“Quiet over there. Are you confident in your team?”

As we became a bit rowdy, Professor Kim Seyun warned us.

“Hmm. What’s with this pressure on my chest…”

Being a Grand Sorcerer, I just glanced ahead for a moment, but the immense magical energy pouches emerging from my clothes inadvertently caught my attention.

Not only me, but other men also remained silent, overwhelmed by the sudden display captivating their eyes.

Whether aware of such gazes or not, Professor Kim began explaining how the practical training would proceed while turning away.

“Each team will enter the practice gate provided by the academy. The monsters you’ll face are goblins, specters, and zombies—only three types. Since they are weak monsters, wearing the equipment provided by the academy will prevent you from getting hurt. However, you should move as if it were a real battle.

Considering that some people often receive lower grades for being complacent about safety during the first Hunter Grade test, it’s always good to stay alert.”

Clear and concise explanations followed.

“And just in case, I will cast a protective shield, and in case it gets destroyed, I’ll have a teleportation spell ready to bring you out. Even if you fail to conquer the gate this week, it won’t affect your grades, but it will from next week onwards, so be careful.”

With the explanation concluded, the professor promptly guided us to the location of the training gate.

For training purposes, but in reality, it was no different from a gate.

The principle is not to destroy the core of a controllable gate unless necessary.

Since gates appeared, the world had been running on mana stones obtained by hunting monsters inside the gates instead of fossil fuels.

Even training gates were left as similar resources.

If there are only weak monsters inside, training like this can simulate real combat.

“Is there a confident team willing to go in first?”

“We will go in!”

“Hmm. A team overflowing with confidence, just like Guild Leader Seongwoon’s daughter.”

Professor nodded at Lee Ji-hyeon, who could be considered the leader of our team, and sent our team into the gate first.

Measuring the grade of a gate is almost error-free nowadays.

Occasionally, powerful monsters appear that differ from the gate’s grade.

The reason for this phenomenon is still unknown, but one thing is certain: powerful monsters are undoubtedly significant threats.

“A human male…?”

The Succubus Queen Bianca was such a being.

An S-rank monster said to be calamitous.

Nowadays, S-rank hunters form teams to raid, making her a legendary figure.

Once active in the world after gates appeared, she eventually hid within a gate and fell into slumber due to the lack of a satisfying human male companion.

But now…

Special Stat (Virility): SSS

With Park Ah-jun boasting an astonishing SSS in Virility, she must have been awakened by his intense scent of night blossoms.
