Rainy Day (4)
Usually, when a fight breaks out, both parties involved end up getting dragged in, right? ……Well, it's not like I care.
Seoha's cheek from Kang Ju-chan's punch was slightly red. It didn't hurt, and using Mana Sieve would erase the mark in an instant, but if I healed it, the kids would look at me weirdly, so I just left it.
More than that, the words the guy said last time kept lingering in my head. Before? Before that too, huh? When did I ever meet that guy?
I thought back to second year for a bit, but no memory came up. In first year, I was too busy getting whipped by noona...
“What happened with Kang Ju-chan~?”
After second period, when the noise had settled a little, Kang Sora opened her mouth while lying flat on her desk like she was swimming. Kang Chang-hyun turned around, glancing at me suspiciously, and the other popular kids started approaching.
“I was thinking about the last words I heard too, and I don't remember anything. In second year, I lived just like now—without saying much to the other kids in the class. In first year, honestly, I only remember getting tossed around by noona...
“Han Go-eun said something, her expression troubled.
“Kang Ju-chan and Suri were in the same class in second year. Back then, he was bright and cheerful, so the kids all liked him. He wasn't the type to get angry and swing a fist like that... I was shocked.
“In the early second year, he approached the kids very actively and tried to make them laugh with exaggerated gestures, so I thought he was nice...
“Then in first year, something must have happened. Hey~! Anyone in the class who was in the same class as Seoha in first year~?!”
Kang Chang-hyun suddenly stood up and shouted at the class. A few kids raised their hands. Huh, so he was in the same class as me?
“Hey, Choi Hak-ju! Were you in the same class as Seoha?
“Do you remember all the kids' names?! The kid pointed out by Kang Chang-hyun was a shy, cute-looking boy who looked like he was about to faint when he was called.
“Hey! You made him scared!
“Han Go-eun smacked Kang Chang-hyun on the back with a loud sound and pulled the frightened Choi Hak-ju's arm like pulling a scared puppy. ...He seemed more scared of you than of Kang Chang-hyun?
“Tell me. Hak-ju, were you in the same class as Seoha in first year?
“Yeah.
Then the kids gathered around looked at Kang Chang-hyun with admiration, as if saying, 'So this was the simple way.'
Kang Chang-hyun puffed out his chest at the gazes and spoke.
“In first year, did you know anything about Seoha?
“T-that's right... Ju-chan got angry because of Seoha...
While saying it, he glanced at me nervously.
“Because of me? I don't remember anything.
At the unexpected remark, I raised an eyebrow and asked. Choi Hak-ju shrank back, looking at me with frightened eyes. He's really like a herbivore.
“I wasn't angry. I really don't remember anything. Can you explain what happened?
“Y-you don't remember? You and Kang Ju-chan were in the same class...
At Choi Hak-ju's words, I shut my mouth. So I was in the same class as that troublemaker?
“Keep talking. What happened?
“T-that's...
At Kang Chang-hyun's urging, Choi Hak-ju spoke hesitantly.
Putting together what the guy said, Kang Ju-chan was the ultimate popular kid, the king of popularity. After entering and being assigned to a class, he became friends with most of the kids in just a few days.
So, while Kang Ju-chan was getting along smoothly with the class, when the outdoor class in April was approaching, he approached me alone and invited me to play together.
“T-but when I rejected Kang Ju-chan's outstretched hand... saying that since there's no point wasting energy on useless things, I should focus on studying... and told him to stop caring...
……
The kids' dumbfounded gazes turned toward me.
“T-so when he was rejected so decisively, Ju-chan's face turned red and he backed off, but on the day of the outdoor class, he approached me again and got rejected the same way, so the kids marked him as a funny trickster kid...
The kids' gazes seemed to soften a bit. Franc looked away with a face as if she couldn't defend me.
“After that, Ju-chan made a few mistakes in class, and the friends he made quietly distanced themselves, like they were avoiding him.
“……At that time, I was being ignored by noona, right? At that time, my head was in a mess, and because of noona's high reputation, my own reputation was even lower, so I was quite... nervous.
Choi Hak-ju, who heard my words, glanced at me and nodded.
“Yeah. Back then, even the student council seniors came to find Seoha on purpose...
“Haa. So the grudge from being rejected in first year and the grudge that ruined my first-year school life exploded again when we met in third year.
Kang Chang-hyun scratched the back of his head nervously and sighed.
“I, I'm going.
“Eh, thanks.
Choi Hak-ju shook his hands at Kang Chang-hyun's words, then hurriedly went to his friends.
“Still, I don't think it's right to blame Seoha for what happened to his little brother and swing a fist.
Su Yu-ri nodded with a firm expression, and it seemed the other girls felt the same. But Kang Chang-hyun seemed to have a different thought.
“In an emotionally changed state, would such things stand out? When emotions run high with accumulated grudges, hands move on their own. With his little sister involved in an accident... I think that's enough to paralyze his reason, me.
Compared to him, the boys showed a little sympathy at Kang Chang-hyun's words.
I turned my gaze to the gloomy gray sky pouring rain and thought it matched my current mood exactly.
After the chaotic lunch break full of destruction and chaos, until fifth period started, Kang Ju-chan didn't return to the classroom, but instead, the student council president teacher and a few student council executives entered the classroom.
“Although class is about to start, due to the school violence incident, I'll take a moment. Jung Seoha?
“Yes?
“From now on, everything said will be recorded. The teacher will ask a few questions, so please answer honestly and without reservation.
As expected, it was because of me. The student council president teacher asked me a few questions. First, what did I talk about with Kang Ju-chan, why was Kang Ju-chan angry, how do I think of Kang Ju-chan.
I didn't say much. The grudge from the trouble in first year seemed to have exploded in today's actions of mine. I answered in order that I didn't think badly of him.
The student council president teacher adjusted his glasses and said.
“It matches exactly what Kang Ju-chan said. It's only natural, but there won't be any punishment for you.
“Then what about Kang Ju-chan?
At my question, the student council president teacher, who looked stubborn, stared at me for a moment before speaking.
“It will be decided through a staff meeting, but the minimum is one week of suspension, the maximum is expulsion.
At the word expulsion, the surrounding kids felt a stir.
“Is there a possibility that my opinion will be reflected in the meeting?
“Tell me.
“The kids say they fight a little and make up, right? Getting expelled for just one cheek is too much, I think.
At my suggestion being unexpected, the student council president teacher adjusted his glasses and nodded.
“The principal's belief is that a person's hand is not a means to attack others. But since the victim is not another kid... I will mention it at the staff meeting.
The student council president teacher, who returned a positive answer, bowed to the fifth-period teacher waiting outside the classroom and left.
“Amazing~.”
Kang Sora smiled brightly while looking at me, and Kang Chang-hyun turned to me with a thumbs-up, grinning as if saying 'good job!'
If I get expelled from our school, it's obvious that other decent schools won't accept me, so I did it.
In conclusion, Kang Ju-chan's punishment was decided as one week of suspension.
I thought there might be some protest from Kang Ju-chan's house or something, but instead, a middle-aged couple with a mature appearance and gentle smile came to the school on a Tuesday and bowed to me with an apology and gratitude.
“We thank you for saving our son and for proposing leniency even though he swung a fist.
With parents like this, how could such a twisted personality... come to be. I'm not normal either.
At the very polite appearance of the two, I was also flustered and bowed in return, saying no.
“Ju-chan has also come to his senses and is deeply reflecting on swinging the fist. Although his little brother got hurt, his condition is gradually improving, and if it weren't for Jung Seoha, he would have been in an even more serious situation, he realized belatedly.
While saying it, he conveyed that after the suspension, Kang Ju-chan would apologize on his own.
Amazing. How could his attitude change 180 degrees in just a day? What I heard from Kang Ju-chan's parents seemed like the curse had been lifted.
Reflecting on his past actions and reflecting...?
Well, if it were someone else, I wouldn't know, but with parents like these, it seems possible. And when next Monday comes, I'll know if it's true or not.
“Even if it's only a week~, I thought it would be a month. I thought I'd come out in a month~.”
Han Go-eun glanced at Kang Sora's lazy appearance and spoke to me.
“Even a week will be recorded in the school record, so it will cause some inconvenience in your future career. You'll pay for swinging the fist.
“Ju-chan is the son of the president of a pharmaceutical company~. Since he'll inherit his own company anyway, it doesn't matter~?
“Who knows what will happen later. If Seoha takes revenge, one company collapsing in an instant is possible?
“What do you think of me to say such things?!
At Han Go-eun's outburst, I protested, and she giggled like a cat, spinning around.
“Then what will Seoha do?
“Naturally, I'll give him one cheek in return!
At my continued words, the girls looked at me with dumbfounded faces, and the boys nodded as if it was appropriate.
I like the concept of revenge, Lex Talionis. Of course, excluding the exceptions.
Looking up at the sky as if it was brightening outside, the rain that had continued for several days had stopped, and the dark clouds had dispersed, bringing warm sunlight.
After finishing school and returning home, when I measured my Phase Power using Spatial Perception and the Certifier in two ways, it had increased to 10,700.
-Waa. It increased by over six thousand? The effect of the Phase Stone Vest is amazing.-
“I thought my Phase Power inside my body was gradually thickening, but even without thinking, it rose like this. With money, raising Phase Power is incredibly easy.
-Huhu.-
Well, that's for when you have high talent. If your talent is as low as Choi Soohan's, no matter how much Phase Power you have, it's useless. Anyway, with this much, it seemed possible, so I concentrated my Phase Power throughout my body with Mana Sieve, and my body began to glow blue.
“Ooo. It's working!
-......!-
There was a character in an old superhero movie named Dr. Manhattan, a muscular bald man whose whole body glowed blue. It was exactly that appearance.
Curious, I briefly touched my hand and cheek, but more than that!
To Franc, who was hesitating with a shy expression, I spread my arms, and with a bright smile, she snuggled into my arms. While touching every part of my body, she looked extremely happy.
-Happy... to be able to feel Seoha with my whole body...
“Me too. I'm happy to be able to hold Franc like this.
Franc, when she's at home, walks around naked for me, and as a result, desire arises at odd times. Every time, I pinched her thighs to endure, but now that I'm feeling Franc's touch all over my body, my chest is fluttering, and it's really hard to endure.
At the unbearable desire, I grabbed Franc's plump butt tightly, and she made an erotic expression with -Ahn.-
I wanted to cover her and make it throb, but... I can't because I don't know when my parents or noona will return. It's a pity, but I satisfied myself by kissing her forehead and nose tip and let her go, and Franc, as if her desire was accumulating, made her lips pout without realizing.
With Mana Sieve concentrated, I took off my top and stood in front of the full-length mirror in noona's room.
The parts covered by clothes were faint, but the parts where skin was exposed glowed blue without exception.
“......
It looks inhuman somehow...
After class, during breaks or whenever I had time, I searched through the common sense among ability users via the Certifier.
The result was that attribute-type ability users couldn't move the Phase Power or TP inside their bodies, but they could control the Phase Power TP that had come out of their bodies.
Phase Power TP. That is, fire, water, wind, and soil, etc.
By trying to move the Phase Power TP, they practiced control, and as the skill increased, they could wrap the whole body in fire, float and move the body with wind, not just that, but fly like the wind, move freely underground, or breathe underwater, and many effects could be exerted.
It's natural to think such abilities exist, but why does concentrating Mana Sieve throughout the body to glow blue seem inhuman?
Honestly, even just having fire wrapped around the whole body isn't simple?
With Mana Sieve released, Franc, who was regretting, hugged her smooth, curved waist and pressed our bodies close, teasing her lips.
After exchanging a deep kiss, unable to resist the desire, I turned my hand behind Franc's back and slightly inserted my finger into the back door, and she opened her eyes wide and started writhing her body.
I wrapped my arms around her waist so she couldn't escape and put my tongue in her mouth, teasing her tongue... while slightly extracting TP from the inserted hand tip.
-~~!!-
Her chest rapidly rose and fell like she was breathing heavily while trembling. Strength entered Franc's two arms holding my body, and she buried her face in my shoulder, trembling.
Right. There was something I had to repay to Franc.
Remembering the grudge from the auditorium in the afternoon, I smiled wickedly and whispered in Franc's ear, which had a tear hanging from the corner of her eye.
“I saw everything. You were laughing while I was in trouble in the auditorium?
Shrinking her lips to make a face, I covered Franc's cherry-like lips again and started caressing her whole body.
“It would be good to pray that either my parents or noona come quickly.
Since I hadn't carefully touched Franc's body before, I should explore every inch this opportunity.
My parents were due to an emergency surgery, and noona had to go out, so she returned two hours later than usual. There was no food in the fridge, and since the market was late, we ordered delivery food for dinner.
Ordering pizza, chicken, and hamburgers for the first time in a while, mom didn't like it because she said only bad things for the body, but the fast food was really delicious.
While eating potato chips and watching TV, noona asked.
“Is there good news? You look in a good mood.
“Tomorrow Hwayeon is returning.
Of course, the truth was with Franc, who was tormented by my hand dozens of times, reaching orgasm, and finally fainting.
Although I didn't feel physical pleasure, thanks to the sight of Franc writhing and crying in pleasure, I filled my sadistic mind perfectly.
Even if Franc pours water and squirts, as long as she cries and drools for a moment, she returns to normal, so there's no need to clean the room, and no smell comes out. Well, there was a faint apple scent, but noona and mom said there was no smell, so I was relieved.
Of course, Hwayeon's return is also good. ...But there's a big problem waiting.
Noona shook her head as if she had heard something she shouldn't.
“Ugh. Hwayeon likes that?
“It's really good? Anyway, do you know what time Hwayeon will come tomorrow?
Mom, having put down the drama, looked at me with a bright smile, and noona also giggled and answered.
“Probably returning early in the morning?
“Is that so. When I wake up in the morning, I should call.
“...I wanted to say not to, but somehow I think Hwayeon will call first.
At noona's words, I giggled while picking up a fried chicken leg, and noona, pretending to eat pizza, made small lip movements, so I read it with a unique intuition.
-From next Monday, the construction to cover the slate roof will start. I set the height at 10m, is that okay?-
Oh, the construction has already started?
-Why cover the slate roof?-
-If the scene where you're training is exposed, it would be troublesome, right?-
-So, why cover the roof instead of building the wall?-
-The wall is naturally covered because trees or grass grow thickly, and when operating as a military base, there will be remaining walls. For the roof, we have to consider the possibility of being photographed by satellites.-
That... makes sense.
-If that's the case, at 10m height, it should be fine. If the height is insufficient, we can dig the ground.-
-The roof will only be made to not fly away in typhoons and strong winds. It's impossible to cover the entire ground, so we'll plan to do about one-third. The construction period is set at about a week.-
-Yeah. Thanks.-
Haa~. When the training ground is completed, I can start proper training.
I ate half of the ordered food alone, cleaned up the hamburger wrapper, pizza, and chicken boxes, and impulsively asked my mom and dad, who were sipping coffee.
“Mom. If I say I want to be independent, will you allow it?
“No!
Without even thinking about it?!
I thought she would at least ask for the reason, but looking at mom giving an immediate answer with a dumbfounded face, mom had a complicated expression and spoke.
“A son is a man, so someday he'll become independent, but our son is still a student, right? I want to merge with Hwayeon... if it's at home...
“Mom! What are you saying?!
“Aigoo, you startled me! The kids will fall! Why are you shouting?
“Noona shouted 'Baeek!' and mom frowned and smacked noona on the back.
“Ouch! She's still young! But, what kind of nonsense is this about merging?! No! Absolutely no!
“Don't interfere with your little brother's love business and do your own thing, you.
At mom's tongue-clicking sound, noona's cheeks flushed red as she argued that there was no man she liked and didn't date, and mom scolded noona as if it was annoying.
“Mom said? There won't be any man who meets the daughter standard. You'll become an old maid soon?
“But there's a level! I can't date anyone just because I want to!
“Oh~ My daughter is so amazing?
Uihan University students have many from the upper social class or with excellent talent. Originally, most students from Uihan High School advance to Uihan University.
Knowing this well, mom praised the kids around as good, as geniuses, and noona countered that even if they reach out, they wouldn't start dating.
At noona, who didn't support even one word, mom took out her weapon, as if angry.
She widened the range of her smack on the back to noona's arms and thighs.
With my city pants and dolphin pants, her exposed thighs, shoulders, and arms were hit with mom's smack, and noona let out a painful moan and twisted her body.
I and dad stood up at the same time and secretly avoided the spot. If it continued, who knew what sparks would fly. Besides, it seemed Franc was about to wake up.
Leaving the flustered noona who was blocking mom's hand, I returned to the room and saw Franc, whose blink interval was shortening.
Sitting on the bed, I placed Franc's head on my thigh and gently stroked her hair, and before long, with a bright light, her thick golden eyelashes trembled and her eyes opened.
“Did you sleep well?
At Franc, who looked at me with a dazed expression, I smiled and greeted her, but Franc showed no reaction. Worried, I called her again.
“Franc?
-Uuuu.-
Only then did she cover her face with both hands and fidget with her legs. She was probably stiff because she was embarrassed. Cute.
-L-lesser than Seoha, I'm more perverted!-
“Yeah. I think I'm more perverted than you, who goes into the butt hole, for tormenting the butt too. Still, it felt good, right?
-Huuut!-
Laughing, I covered her again, and she jumped in surprise and flailed as if trying to escape.
I wasn't particularly trying to torment her, but seeing this reaction, I suddenly felt happy and used my limbs to hug Franc like a spider.
-Aaaang! Nooo! I can't endure anymore!-
“No, no. There are family members outside too.
At the 'no' part, Franc finally stopped resisting and let out a long sigh. Looking at such Franc with an amused face, I suddenly remembered something and muttered to myself.
“Thinking about it, Sophia must have returned too.
-...Why Miss Adelberg? Are you going to cover me like this?-
“Eh?!
At Franc, who was pouting and mocking me, I was bewildered, and Franc, surprised at her own actions, whimpered and lowered her head deeply.
Was she sulking because she was tormented enough to faint? After scratching my head and letting go of Franc, I explained.
“No. I'm only with Franc and Hwayeon. I'm just paying the price for spreading the rumor everywhere.
-Ah, I see. Well, Miss Adelberg does need a little scolding. I really didn't expect the union's ability users to know about that.-
Looking at Franc, who followed my topic as if she wanted to ignore her own actions, I swallowed a sigh of relief and spoke again.
“Right? I'll remember well and suddenly poke her in the side to get an apology. Seeing that Sophia is also a fan of mine, it would be fun to make her lie flat and apologize this opportunity.
A plaster statue of a blonde Western virgin—I'm looking forward to it.
