The captain, Choi Seoa, helped me choose my main weapon.

Swords, spears, axes, bows, staves, shields, and various other weapons were listed, and I had to choose the one to use.

The reason for selecting a main weapon is said to be that your test scores during midterms or finals are evaluated based on your proficiency with the main weapon.

I knew nothing about weapons, so I just chose a sword that looked easy to handle.

There are many types of swords based on length and characteristics, so I simply picked one that seemed suitable.

“A short one-handed sword? Hmm, you’ll probably need to use it with a shield because it’s short.”

“A shield? It might be heavy if I also carry a shield…”

Grumbling, I still followed Choi Seoa’s advice and chose a moderately small round shield.

As I selected the shield, she wrote down the model names of the weapons I had chosen as if taking notes on a tablet.

She teased me while writing, which felt like a factual assault.

“Well, maybe weapons aren’t that important for you. You’d be better off finding ways to escape from girls’ hands rather than focusing on that. But hey, did you know? Even after six years of being in the volunteer club, guys are still targeted by villains. They’re like assistant slaves.”

“Oh really? Wow, that was some valuable information I wanted to know. Thanks.”

“Don’t mock me. I’m just telling you out of goodwill.”

She finished writing something on the tablet.

It seems like the documentation for my main weapon selection is complete.

[Quest Success]

[Choose Main Weapon]

[Reward: Stat Points]

After finishing the main weapon selection, Choi Seoa led me to the training facility.

“The training facility assigned to our class is just a space for individual or group training for our class specifically. The Academy Integrated Training Facility has created a virtual reality space that feels real through the power of magic and science. So, in the training facility, you can engage in simulated battles with monsters or famous villains just like in reality. It’s one of the most expensive buildings and one of the most valuable places at our National Hunter Academy. It cost several trillion to build this. The supercomputer underground in this facility is also very expensive.”

“Wow… But why is the security system for entering that facility so lax?”

For such an expensive space, shouldn’t they prevent the blonde troublemaker teacher from easily revealing the entry password? Or shouldn’t someone have hacked to find out how to enter here among the classmates?

“No one can steal it, and to damage it, you would have to enter the underground security room, which is nearly impossible. Users cannot sabotage this system from the surface. That’s why security for regular users on the surface is lax.”

“I see.”

The captain briefly explained about this kind of training facility, mentioning that depending on the situation, you may need to make reservations in advance to train there, and how to engage in simulated battles with virtual monsters or villains. Of course, I didn’t quite understand it properly, so I would have struggled a lot if I had to do it alone.

Captain Choi Seoa was also quite casual in her explanations.

“Hey, since I’m here, can I try training for just an hour?”

“For an hour? …That’s bothersome.”

“Please. Also, could you teach me once more how to set up a virtual reality simulated battle? I don’t understand what you mean. What does this button do? Why is the setup instructions in English? I’m not good at English.”

“Well, it was made by people in the U.S., so… Ugh. Move aside. I’ll do it for you. So, who do you want to fight against?”

“What’s the weakest opponent? I just need to pass the time for an hour.”

“In training, what matters isn’t the time. It’s important to gain insight even in a minute and work hard. Oh, by any chance, do you have any abilities related to time? Are you someone with awakening abilities in that area?”

“Um, well, that’s… Should I tell them?”

As I pondered, Choi Seo-ah looked embarrassed and wore a sorry expression.

“No, it’s okay. Don’t apologize. You don’t have to say anything. I accidentally asked about your abilities and awakening in the heat of the moment. It was my mistake.”

Judging by her reaction,

It seems impolite to inquire about someone’s abilities or characteristics unless they volunteer the information.

“…But since we’re close friends, you could tell me a bit…”

However, seeing her muttering softly under her breath,

It seems like friends or those close would share such information.

Finding her murmurs endearing, I gently patted her head.

“Alright, then I’ll add one of the weakest opponents, an ordinary female villain. Let’s have a mock battle.

Facing an ordinary woman will be much easier compared to a monster with beast-like movements.

Oh, but even in a mock battle, you shouldn’t let your guard down. Though there won’t be any actual wounds, the pain will remain the same.

If it’s not intense enough to shock you, the computer will transmit the pain directly to you without holding back.”

“Got it. I understand.”

“And while each villain and monster may have different behaviors and personalities based on individual traits,

generally, they will act like real monsters and villains.

Don’t underestimate them just because they’re computer-generated or magical; otherwise, you’ll suffer greatly.”

“Okay, okay. Hurry up and summon it.”

Taking her concerns lightly, I readied my sword and shield.

Although Choi Seo-ah seemed to tense up slightly at my demeanor, she dismissed it as a misperception.

“My strength is at an average level, but I’ll make my character somewhat ruthless.”

As Choi Seo-ah manipulated the training facility’s equipment,

I found myself standing in a new, unfamiliar space.

It was a dim alley in a gray urban setting devoid of sunlight.

In that alley stood a woman and me.

‘Wow, this is fascinating. Are we instantly transported into virtual reality like this?’

I gazed at the female villain.

But she… was surprisingly attractive?

She appeared plain and unassuming, yet for an ordinary person, she had a decent appearance.

-“Your opponent is an adult female villain, typically used for novice power assessments, wielding a dagger. Shall we begin the game? Start.”-

Choi Seo-ah’s voice echoed through the air.

It seemed like she was observing from outside.

“Hunter? Damn, caught me. Die!”

The female villain immediately lunged towards me.

“What…? Hey! Without even waiting for my response! No time to prepare mentally and straight into this…?!”

The female villain rapidly closed the distance, charging towards me.

An ordinary woman, supposedly one of the weakest opponents!

Using a novice power assessment tool? Why is she running so fast?

It feels like she’s really out to kill me?

Wait, if an ordinary woman… an average woman charges at me as if to kill…

In a world where gender roles are reversed, men like me are fragile and die easily…

Even in the world I came from, when an average woman charges like this against a man with a knife…

-Thud!-

The female villain’s dagger pierced my side.

Blood spurted out. It hurt like hell.

“Aaargh!!!”

-“Hey! What are you doing! You should have blocked with your shield or dodged!!”-

Choi Seo-ah scolded me from the air.

Damn, suddenly I’m starting to hate Choi Seo-ah so much.

Out with the drill sergeant!

“Aaargh! Damn it!! It’s not as easy as it sounds!!”

“Damn, is Hunter really this weak? Are you really a Hunter?”

The ordinary female villain spat on the ground, questioning me.

And she raised her dagger again.

It looks like I’m about to get stabbed again.

Terrifying.

I clung to Choi Seo-ah.

“…P-Please spare me!! Spare me, Seo-ah!!”

The villain swung her blade once more.

Instinctively rolling on the ground, using the alley’s terrain to dodge here and there,

But the female villain showed no mercy.

The sword and shield were long forgotten.

I started to accumulate shallow cuts and bruises all over.

I grew increasingly weary from the pain and physical exertion.

It hurts and it’s exhausting. It’s despairing.

The female villain even picked up the sword and shield I dropped on the ground.

The already non-existent hope plummeted to rock bottom.

While filming a chase scene in an alley in the city,

I eventually stumbled and was caught from behind.

Seemingly annoyed that she was being chased, the female villain stomped on my hands with her feet, overpowering me.

“Ahhhhhhh!!!!!”

The pain was so excruciating that I felt like I might go insane and pass out.

Damn it, they say pain before shock prevents it!

Was the villain worried I might escape again,

or did she just decide to cut the tendons in both of my ankles altogether?

Achilles tendon? It seemed like it was severed.

-“Hey! You idiot! What the hell are you doing!!”-

Choi Seo-ah, you bastard! Are you really an ordinary person?!

Damn it, aren’t you like an A-class or S-class villain?

Why are you so good at fighting… damn it.

“Ha, hng…, spare, spare me…. Is, is this really an ordinary woman? Hng hng….”

The villain faintly smiles.

I felt the terror of death.

“Hunters are ridiculously weak…. Hey, Hunter. Do you want to live?”

“Yes…, yes…”

The villain sits beside me, chuckling, and says,

“If you want to live, then you must listen to me from now on, okay?”

“Yes, yes…. I’ll listen….”

“Now that I look at you, you seem somewhat charming. I’ll even provide treatment for you. If you listen to me well.”

Lifting me up, the villain led me into a deeper alleyway.

A secluded alley with no one around.

Inside the deep alley, an ordinary female villain took out a magical ointment and applied it to my hands and feet.

As she applied hemostatic agents and magical ointments to the bleeding side, the blood stopped flowing, and the wounds seemed to heal rapidly.

The pain lessened a bit.

However, applying the ointment was quite painful due to the roughness of her hands.

Especially when she applied it to abrasions and common cuts, it stung terribly.

“Ugh!”

“Hunters are so damn sensitive, hey, endure it a bit. I’m treating you right now.

If I leave you like this, you’ll end up disabled. But are you really a hunter?”

The female villain seemed to be genuinely treating me with care.

And whether the treatment was effective or not, the excruciating pain in my hands and feet, which had been severely injured, seemed to have improved significantly.

Even though my hands were completely shattered and the tendons in my feet seemed completely severed, could it be that the magical ointment was working well?

As I looked at my healing hands and leg tendons,

the female villain chuckled and stroked my head.

Then she took off her skirt.

‘Huh?’

“Hey, you weak hunter. Now you have to pay for the treatment to this noona. I’ll make you pregnant.”

In that moment, as if hearing things, I understood the current situation.

I, being a very weak male hunter, now appeared to be prey for this female villain.

She removed her skirt and panties, revealing a slightly hairy vagina.

The vagina, which seemed appropriately experienced, already looked moist with excitement.

In my opinion, this villain intended to prey on me from the moment she dragged me into this secluded alley for treatment.

Well, the villain used expensive-looking magical ointments while treating me.

But damn it. Is this a virtual reality? Why would they even implement something like this?

“I’ll take off your pants, so behave yourself. If you resist, you know what will happen, right?”

The villain removed my pants.

I didn’t resist at all.

Resisting would be terrifying with the knife at the villain’s waist.

“Wow, your dick is so big? Damn, and it looks so delicious.

Damn, it looks huge and tasty.

Damn, today my luck is really good.”
