Academy Summer Break (1)
Every week, the duel video between Kang Minji and Kang Juwon topped the academy boards. Both were visual stunners, and their matches were always neck-and-neck, drawing eyes from every corner.
With both Kang Minji and Kang Juwon being total lookers, the posts drew crowds regardless of gender.
One comment stood out with a ton of upvotes.
As expected, questions poured in, and the OP spilled their story.
Dudes who'd struck out with Kang Minji piled on with upvotes, relating hard.
It wasn't official, but cadets crushing on Kang Minji knew the rumors. After that, more kept their distance, just watching from afar.
Talking Kang Minji meant mentioning her partner, Kim Siu—and the vibes were all the same.
Kim Siu was catching hate in places he never knew about, as usual.
With all the duels done, it was time to kick back for break. But first, get mana-exhausted Kang Minji home.
She'd dozed off against his back, wiped from the drain. 'This the way?' He checked his smartwatch map as he walked. She lived off-campus near the academy, too.
'That was a hell of a show.' Thinking of Kang Juwon's face made him grin. 'Bet he's never been treated like that.'
Kang Juwon was top-tier looks among the guys—fan club material. Girls always fawned; they came to him. He'd figured approaching her would be easy. But Kang Minji? No such luck. The Iron Wall Queen earned her name.
Guys had swarmed her early semester; now they were scarce. Back then, he'd shrink during partner stuff, too scared to speak. 'Yeah, pretty terrifying.' He'd just done as told. Then she approached him first. If he'd opened his mouth? Probably same as Juwon.
Anyway, her win netted an unexpected bonus. 'Lee Da-eun never saw that coming.' She'd been salty about always backseat to Yoon Seoa. Seemed like common ground now.
'Anti-Magic's working better than expected.' Mana shortage kept it from full power, but that blazing blue mana like active flames? Cool as hell.
The map guided him, but the new alley confused him. Almost there, though. "Minji, which way from here?"
"Uh... huh? Oh, already this far..?" Still sleepy, she yawned long and pointed, eyes half-shut.
Following led to a sleek new villa. "Looks like we're here."
Mana drain had softened her edges; she looked languid, far from her sharp usual self. A fresh vibe. If she was this beat, better leave her here.
"Minji, good work today."
"...Wanna see the cat before you go?"
Cat? Out of nowhere. "You have a cat?"
The second they entered, she complained of feeling grimy and headed to wash up, leaving him to snoop. A faint floral scent hung in the air—like the diffuser in Professor Kang Mina's office.
White walls, black furniture. Her battle gear and undies were black too; black lover, huh. Pink accent pieces dotted around, though.
"Pink's the pop of color?" From shuttle to visiting her place—surreal.
"Leagues above a studio." Huge living room, leather sofa, LED TV, two private rooms. "Makes sense, her sister's an A-rank hunter."
Clean living area, but her room had strewn clothes—not filthy. Prying drawers felt wrong, so he scanned and plopped on the sofa.
"Not much here..." No cat in sight. No pet stuff either.
TV? As he pondered, she emerged from the bathroom, towel-drying damp hair. Oversized tee, black dolphin pants. Smooth, toned white thighs peeking out; volume no shirt could hide. Prime outfit.
"Minji, where's the cat?"
"..."
She fidgeted. He sighed deep. "Haa... you sneaky shit. You did this on purpose, didn't you..?"
"?"
He stared silent; her face flushed crimson. "Nya..ong.."
"..."
He scooped her up. Body wash teasing his nose, damp hair, shy squirm. 'Can't hold back.'
Dumped her on the bed from his earlier peek. Status check: her lust was sky-high.
'Favorability over 85?'
Inner Thoughts: Hurry... do me, Kim Siu...
The post-duel release with Kang Juwon had her unwinding hard. Lust higher than usual—blushing obvious.
Lust fluctuated wildly, mirroring her state: spikes and drops.
'Full heat right now.' Built-up lust plus duel stress exploding at once.
Shoulders light, now craving reward? 'Not a shrink, but this vibe? Go time.'
She yanked his collar, impatient. Wanted to pounce, but hold back.
"Show me your tits."
"No.. why again!"
She yelled as he stalled. "...Just once."
Pathetic puppy eyes. No dice, she squirmed thighs together.
"Argh!.. Damn.. you never change.."
Muttering, she caved.
"Minji..."
Finally? "…Tease me... and die..."
Slow tee lift: familiar sports bra, tight abs, subtle muscle. White skin, flushed face opposite.
"Haa... why'd I fall for this jerk.."
Mumbling, the forbidden zone unveiled—for the first time ever.
