In the sky, the moon hung low, surrounded by a light mist that gently rose around. It was as if this place, with its black earth, mismatched crosses and gravestones scattered about, was a land where the dead lived.

This was the scenery within the gate.

It was a landscape perfectly suited for the appearance of the ghostly demons the professor had described.

The graveyard that seemed to stretch endlessly appeared no different from the reality we lived in, but there was one distinct feature. It was the fact that behind where we had entered, there was only pitch darkness.

Like a boundary separating dimensions, a black curtain unfolded, emitting a bright light as large as the gate we had entered, seemingly indicating the exit.

Moreover, looking into the distance revealed a translucent wall blocking off the boundaries within the gate, serving as a guide.

Though it seemed vast, it was comparable in size to the cave-like gate where we had encountered Bianca.

“Bianca, don’t do anything until I command you.”

“Yes, master.”

I restricted Bianca’s actions for now. No matter how strong Bianca was, she might not be able to protect me in every situation.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, I needed to strengthen myself as well. Now that I could raise my job grade, there seemed to be a possibility of becoming stronger through diligent effort.

So, attending the academy, it would be wise to hone my combat instincts.

As it had been discussed with the team beforehand, everyone was tense.

“Let’s eat bread!”

Dividing the bread pulled out by Cha Yurin among ourselves, we began devising a simple strategy.

– Ate bread shining with magic! Magic recovery will speed up for a certain period!

“Baekhwa can create swords, so she should be fine… What about Ahjun?”

It had already been several days since Bianca had appeared. During this time, I hadn’t remained stagnant. However, a sword…!

Although I currently focused on using a sword as my main weapon, compared to Baekhwa, I had learned for a shorter period and my job wasn’t specialized in swordsmanship, so I hadn’t yet acquired sword skills.

And to make excuses, while engaging in sex with Bianca to quickly fill up experience points to break through to the next level, I had somewhat neglected my sword practice.

After finishing at the academy, the instructor Shin Hanbyeol, hired to teach me, had only conducted brief training sessions, so it was unlikely that I had acquired sword skills.

“I still…”

“Oh? Right. Still, learning sword skills is essential… It’s the basis of being a swordsman, isn’t it?”

For some reason, Lee Jihyun’s words sounded mocking.

Must be my imagination…?

Lately, perhaps because I was parading around with Bianca, an SS-rank demon, I had been too full of myself. As she said, learning sword skills was indeed fundamental the moment one wielded a sword.

Even without having the swordsman job, learning sword skills was relatively easy, and as swordsmanship skill grades increased, naturally acquiring sword skills was a given.

Here, it was necessary to humbly acknowledge and accept.

“Sorry. Lately, my job experience points…”

“…”

As soon as I spoke, the other women except for me started to glare. Of course, Bianca proudly extended her chest as if she were proud.

‘This is sexual harassment…’

Come to think of it, talking about raising my job experience points in this female-dominated workplace was akin to sexual harassment.

It was similar to speaking about sex in return.

“Miss, may I briefly explain his attributes to this fellow?”

“Hmm. Alright. Can’t be helped. Baekhwa, can you teach me for a moment? Since it’s still early in the semester, my evaluation score won’t drop that much. About 10 minutes should be enough, right?”

“Yes. Miss.”

It couldn’t be helped.

If I had known today’s practical lecture involved capturing such ghostly monsters, I would have learned swordsmanship yesterday. Learning from Baekhwa, who sported an out-of-place twintail hairstyle, didn’t sit well with me, but I accepted it as my mistake and decided to learn from her.

Baekhwa and I moved away from the team members gathered chattering and eating bread.

“We’re short on time, so let’s make this quick. I really dislike teaching your lot, but since it’s your request, Miss!”

“Yes, yes…”

After replying dryly, I decided to ask about something that piqued my curiosity.

“But can I handle swordsmanship within 10 minutes?”

“Of course. I am a sword master! There are plenty of skills to teach those who walk the path of the sword!”

So sword mastery is achievable…

Wait, isn’t a sword master like a swordsman in English?

In that case, could I become a sex master later on?

“Ugh-!!”

“This guy…”

Just the thought makes me want to vomit. Imagining teaching someone else how to have sex…!

I vowed never to teach anyone else.

“Even just looking at your faces makes me want to throw up, but I’ll endure it!”

“Oh, sorry… It’s not that I don’t want to learn from you, it’s just that I suddenly had a strange thought… Ugh!”

“Tsk. I don’t know what you’re thinking, but eat this. It’s motion sickness medicine.”

What’s this?

Suddenly, Baekhwa offering motion sickness medicine felt like a tsundere move, or maybe that was just my misconception.

“Thank you.”

I expressed gratitude and took the motion sickness medicine. If I hadn’t, I felt like I might actually vomit due to the dreadful thoughts that had just crossed my mind.

“Now, grab my hair.”

“?!!!”

After taking the medicine and calming down a bit, Baekhwa turned around and instructed me to grab the twintails she had tied.

“W-what… What…?”

“Hurry. This side is quicker for teaching!!”

“Ah, okay.”

I gently grabbed Baekhwa’s hair.

“Tightly, grip it, pull hard…! And imagine raising your hair like a sword by infusing magic into it…!”

“Sorry-!!”

“Don’t apologize!”

Even if gripping her hair tightly would be somewhat painful, considering our difference in strength, she went to such lengths for me, who disliked it.

Baekhwa seemed different for a moment.

Truly a noble knight devoted to her lady.

Perhaps it stemmed from a sense of loyalty, fearing she might inadvertently harm her lady by simply hating men…

Oh no… I’m sorry for misunderstanding all this time! Baekhwa!

Crack-!!

Understanding her intentions, I firmly grasped the twintails and infused magic into them.

‘Why isn’t it working?’

The issue was that I didn’t know how to infuse magic in the first place. Since I couldn’t even create the sword technique right now, it was natural that I couldn’t even infuse magic.

“Um… How do I infuse magic?”

“C-concentrate… ♥ Imagine the movement of magic inside your body… ♥ Keep imagining and…”

“Alright! Let me finish this quickly!”

Seems like grabbing her hair too tightly was more painful than I thought. Even for her sake, I needed to quickly grasp how to infuse magic.

I did my best to start moving the magic.

“Huuuuh-!!”

First, I infused mana into my body. Enveloping oneself with mana is the most basic of basics. This was something I could do as well.

Now, I need to extend this mana beyond my body.

Once I grasp it, just like learning how to ride a bicycle, it seemed I could easily learn how to infuse mana anywhere, not just in the sword.

“Expel mana outward. Visualize… visualize….”

B-Burst-!!!

Oh… damn!

The thought of expelling mana caused my penis to erect. Surging out above my pants, my penis accidentally pierced through Baihwa’s buttocks and slipped underneath.

“S-Sorry!”

“Gah-!! I-It’s fine… considering your profession… in this situation of first learning, it’s unavoidable…”

Although Baihwa seemed like she might scold me, she instead pressed her buttocks against my stomach to prevent me from feeling embarrassed.

Due to this, it ended up looking like I was receiving a spanking from her.

Fortunately, I had turned away from my teammates, so they couldn’t see this situation.

“To expel mana… no, to do it easily… among your skills, think of using the skill that contains mana…!!”

Shaking-!!

Baihwa started trembling without finishing her sentence.

She probably felt angry because even though she followed the lady’s instructions, the man she disliked so much had his penis between her thighs and even tangled in her hair.

‘My skill…’

Nevertheless, although Baihwa stopped speaking, I could fully understand the meaning.

If one of my skills involves expelling mana, there must be a reason. Every time I ejaculated, I felt like my mana was being released outward.

Although there was also the Female Slave skill, it didn’t give the sensation of expelling mana outward but rather being forcibly drained, so I began recalling the feeling of ejaculation.

“Oh… it, it works!”

It had been about 5 minutes since I started practicing.

Finally, Baihwa’s drooping twin tails began to rise slowly to the side.

“It worked!”

“Huuaa……!!! Ughhh!!!”

As Baihwa’s twin tails defied gravity and floated upwards, I shouted in joy. At the same time, when I untied her hair, Baihwa collapsed to the ground, breathing heavily.

“Are you okay?”

“Haa, haa… y-yes. When passing on knowledge to others, it feels draining, so that’s why. Haa… just give me a moment…”

– Satisfied the female! Experience points increased!

I said to Baihwa while the experience points window popped up.

‘She’s sincere.’

I could understand Baihwa’s sincerity. As a swordsman, she genuinely rejoiced in the achievement of her student, even if he was someone she despised.

That was Baihwa for you.

If I weren’t a man, perhaps I wouldn’t have respected her as much.

In the future, even if she were to dislike me, I felt I should try to understand her to some extent.

After all, she was a knight who truly protected her lady.
