Gearing Up for the Conquest

Normally, the infirmary would have the school nurse on standby. But today was sparring evaluation day, so most of the medical staff were stationed around the arenas. Treating injuries immediately was crucial. I'd already gotten patched up on-site myself, so being alone here wasn't a big deal. That left just me and Kang Minji in the room.

"Minji, could you grab me some water?"

"What a pain..."

She grumbled, but as always, Kang Minji did what I asked and fetched the water. Our hands brushed as she handed it over. It was the kind of casual touch that wouldn't faze us normally, but with just the two of us in the infirmary, the atmosphere felt subtly charged.

"Ahem..."

First things first, let's check the Favorability System.

I took a sip and opened the Favorability System. A new button had activated: Heroine Registration.

Heroine, huh? What happens if I register her?

Stats increase?

There were still plenty of empty heroine slots. No reason to hesitate—I hit the register button.

Obviously. Why even ask?

The moment I registered her, my status window lit up with a frenzy of updates.

Kang Minji's got great stamina, alright. She ran laps without breaking a sweat.

It wasn't added to my base stats since it was a bonus, but that was fine.

Actually, isn't this even better? The higher my base stamina climbs, the more valuable her bonus becomes. Stats past 20 cost 3 points each to raise now, and it'll only get pricier later. That made conquering heroines even more essential.

If it's not added to my base stats... does the bonus drop if favorability falls?

There's more?

The status window wasn't done yet.

I was about to dig into these new features when a voice called out.

"Hey, loser."

Too focused on the status window, I'd forgotten Kang Minji was right there.

"What're you doing staring into space and grinning like an idiot?"

She glared at me with an irritated expression, the vibe much chillier than before. She'd gotten mad because I'd zoned out with her right beside me?

Cute.

"Minji, come closer."

"What now?"

"Closer."

She got annoyed but still listened. That was part of her charm. As she drew near, her shampoo scent teased my nose. Her standout beauty shone even among crowds, and though her brows were furrowed in anger, it couldn't hide her looks. Her toned body and those soft-looking, massive breasts—I wanted to grope them right then.

Then why not?

I pulled her face in and kissed her.

"Mmph!"

Been a while since I felt this sensation.

She startled for a second but didn't push me away. Instead, she leaned in deeper, like she wanted more. As our distance closed, her sweet body scent ramped up my arousal. Her sealed lips parted easily, her tongue welcoming mine. I responded, ravaging her mouth.

*Smack... Smooch!*

"Hnn... Ahh..."

My hand naturally slid up to her chest. Hidden under her clothes, her F-cup breasts asserted their presence. I couldn't hold ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠back and started kneading them.

She trembled a bit—was touching okay?—but still didn't resist.

"Hng... Ahh... Nng..."

Doing this in the infirmary felt illicit, like something naughty. The thrill of taboo mixed with her pitiful moans. She reacted strongly every time I squeezed. Her breasts shifted softly under my touch, elastic despite their size.

*Smooch... Smack!*

The magical combo of fluffiness, softness, and rebounding resistance—I could fondle them freely. But I still ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠hadn't seen them bare. With favorability at 80, maybe now?

I cautiously broke the kiss. Our saliva-streaked lips pulled apart, a string of it stretching between us. Kang Minji gazed at me with ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠hazy eyes, still out of it. I wanted to see those massive tits for real.

Carefully, I started unbuttoning her shirt. One by one, her skin emerged. Sweat glistened between her huge breasts—she must've gotten hot. A sports bra cradled them. Just remove that, and...

But as I reached for it, she pushed me back, signaling refusal.

"Not here..."

"..."

Frustrating. Even at 80 favorability, no dice? Kissing was fine, groping was fine, she'd even let me cum inside before. So when could I see them? It wasn't that big a deal.

I stopped, and an awkward silence stretched. I'd always taken the lead; this was the first time I'd just halted. Kang Minji looked unsure what to do.

If I wait like this, will she show me? But I'm worried it'll tank favorability.

Then I heard footsteps outside, drawing closer—the infirmary was the target.

"Minji, sounds like another injured kid's coming."

"Huh?"

"Fix your clothes."

She jolted, hastily straightening her outfit and buttoning up. Right on cue, the door opened. She stood beside me casually, fully dressed. Sure enough, a limping girl was helped to an empty bed by staff.

"Student Kim Siu, are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah! I'm fine!"

A medic approached, so I yanked the blanket up. I'd gotten aroused too—my dick was rock-hard below.

Damn... such a shame.

"I-I'm heading out first!"

Kang Minji bolted from the infirmary.

By the time I'd fully recovered, a lot of time had passed. I considered heading straight to Professor Kang Mina to gauge her reaction, but it was too late, so I went home instead.

Plenty of time anyway. No need to rush. The contract was still binding, and the calmer I stayed, the better. She was the anxious one, not me.

She's probably squirming in frustration right now...

She'd poured everything into that contract, convinced she'd win. With the Deus Ex Machina System guaranteeing it, no way she'd break it. Lose all her mana? An A-rank hunter like her, retired or not, ditching years of achievement?

No chance.

So, how should I cook her? Just thinking about it was fun. I'd make her pay for putting me through hell.

But the best option was obvious.

"Register her as a heroine, right?"

With heroine registration available, conquering Kang Mina was optimal. Just from Minji, I'd gained +10 stamina. Mina should net at least that much. And past 80 favorability, I could borrow abilities. An A-ranker like her? No-brainer.

"Gotta conquer her."

To register, I needed to raise favorability. Couldn't check it now since she wasn't around, but I could guess.

"Probably rock bottom."

Starting from zero, could I make an A-rank hunter submit? Not ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠yet.

Three days until save point refresh. Waiting for safety wasn't bad.

An A-ranker won't go down easy! She'd conquered countless gates in her prime. Normal tactics wouldn't cut it.

Use Fate Points? More are coming anyway... Customization.

The familiar screen popped up: my naked avatar spinning.

Current height 176cm, dick 16cm.

Height to 180cm, dick to 18cm.

"Okay."

"Do it."

Changing so much at once hit hard—bones aching, sharp pain below. But compared to what Yoon Seoa put me through, bearable.

"That's why they say not to overdo it at once? Hurts like hell..."

I rolled on the floor before standing. My viewpoint was definitely higher now.

"Pants feel shorter... and down there, bigger too."

Satisfying. But still not enough for Kang Mina.

"Second awakenings often change looks, so let's fix the face properly."

Previous tweaks had made it decent, but not handsome enough. I refined it meticulously.

"Looks pretty good?"

Hours of tweaks: jawline sharper, nose higher, eyes adjusted, lips tuned—but subtle changes, no overhauls.

"Three hours already?"

The result looked like me, but handsome. No disconnect since I'd preserved the base.

"Kang Minji's reaction will tell."

"Leaves about 4p... Apply."

"Hoo... Yeah, I can take it."

Wonder how school will react to the new me tomorrow. What faces will Kang Minji and Kang Mina make? Excitement kept sleep at bay. First, endure the pain.
