Chapter Title: Not Your Average Newbie Raid Team
-----------------------------------------------------------------
‘Who the hell is that guy?’
‘A hero? Gotta be, right? No way a regular person looks like that.’
Everyone’s eyes were glued to the one man stepping inside bit by bit.
His black hair shone like polished jewels, and his vivid eyes drew you in like a vortex. His god-sculpted features were the stuff of women’s dreams—a perfect face.
Dazed by this man’s fantastical looks, the female heroes made little slip-ups all over the hall. Dropped glasses here, fallen cake slices there. His entrance silenced the chatty buzz, commanding everyone’s full attention.
‘Holy shit, he cleans up insanely well. Do all mana-awakened heroes look this good?’
The man who’d entered the hall was none other than Minguk. At his side, Ye-rin strode gracefully with her arm linked in his. She wore a sleek black dress with a daring plunge at the chest and back.
The media buzzed about him plenty, but no one clocked his identity right away—not with zero reason for him to be here and that stunning, groomed appearance.
“Whoa… he’s legit gorgeous. Hero material, for sure?”
“Probably. Face is new, though… Still, holding hands with a guy like that would be a dream come true.”
Ye-rin’s friends, Eun-byeol and Ji-yoon, felt zero regrets about showing up—just glimpsing that handsome face made it worth it.
“Who’s the lucky classmate who snagged him as her partner?”
Curiosity peaked about the woman with such a catch. Their gazes shifted to the face of the woman in the dress.
“Wha—huh?!”
Nearly a shriek, their eyes went wide. There was Jeong Ye-rin—their closest buddy from Hero Academy—hand-in-hand with the hall’s heartthrob. And she’d spotted them, heading straight for their table.
“Seats!”
“On it!!!”
Instantly, spots cleared at the table. Minguk and Ye-rin sat, signaling their arrival to the gathering.
Seol-ah and her date, Kang Hee-seong, were just as stunned.
‘Where’d this guy come from…?!’
Arm-in-arm with Hee-seong, Seol-ah flushed at the man’s looks. Hee-seong, basking in female hero stares moments ago, now wore a complicated frown.
‘Who the hell is he?’
His eyes narrowed at the couple who’d just sat. He was used to turning heads with his own good looks.
Hee-seong scanned the room. The female heroes who’d eyed him were now fixated elsewhere.
Those gazes should’ve been his. Sure, he was still a newbie hero, but with the weight of protecting humanity came wealth and fame. They ought to be fawning over him.
So yeah, this pretty boy’s arrival soured his mood. He kept a calm facade, but irritation bubbled up.
Squeeze.
Mid-thought, Seol-ah tightened her grip on his arm. His eyes flicked to her.
“What’s up?”
“That’s him. The guy.”
Hee-seong knew exactly who she meant. He’d heard plenty about the rival she was dying to crush at this meetup.
‘Joined Rose Shield, right? Better scores than Seol-ah too—why slum it in a sinking clan like that?’
With that, he turned toward where she pointed. He bit his lip hard. The heartthrob had a dolled-up female hero chatting brightly with her crew at his side.
—Jeong Ye-rin! What the hell?
—Who’s that guy? Hero? Gotta be!
“Uh, yeah. Pretty much?”
Ignoring her friends’ frantic gestures, Ye-rin scanned the room coolly. Her eyes landed on her rival—that annoying bitch Seol-ah. Then to the partner beside her.
‘Not bad-looking. Decent brag material.’
Solid looks, sure. But nothing compared to Minguk, her date tonight. Not in face, not in talent.
‘Probably just some Memorria Clan staffer helping out the heroes.’
Han Minguk, on the other hand? A frontline male hero. And beyond what her team and a few clan insiders knew, Ye-rin had felt his killer leadership skills firsthand, over and over.
Her eyes met Seol-ah’s—like fate. Ye-rin flashed a triumphant smile at her staring rival. Seol-ah’s face twisted. Satisfaction surged through Ye-rin.
‘Bet she won’t sleep a wink tonight, pissed off proper.’
Her body shivered with glee. Crushing Seol-ah’s ego and bathing in classmates’ envy? Mission accomplished 100%. Even her boyfriend ditching their promise for another event didn’t bug her anymore.
‘Nah. Dumping that loser now.’
Her late-night chat with teammate So-jeong had opened her eyes. He didn’t love her—that much was clear. But…
“How’d you two meet?”
“You a civilian? Hero? Nah, you’re too hot for non-hero.”
Minguk laughed and chatted with her friends despite her rude questions. Small gestures, but they warmed Ye-rin’s heart.
But maybe she couldn’t let that earlier taunt slide? Seol-ah and her boyfriend headed their way.
“Hi. Seol-ah, 2-star hero with Memorria Clan. Had no idea you had such a stud boyfriend, Ye-rin.”
“Kang Hee-seong. Support team lead for ranker clan Memorria.”
Hee-seong’s eyes locked on Minguk.
He flexed his credentials—running support for a top clan at his age. But the guy hogged stares just by existing. Still, jealousy blinded him; he blanked on the news of a male hero joining Rose Shield.
“Jeong Ye-rin, 2-star hero with Rose Shield. Dealer on newbie Team 4.”
Ye-rin shot Seol-ah a glare, then nodded politely at Hee-seong. Networking with Memorria support couldn’t hurt.
All eyes turned to Minguk. Ye-rin’s friends at the table weren’t the only ones—nearby female heroes perked up too. He spoke evenly, no expression change.
“Han Minguk, raid leader for Rose Shield’s newbie Team 4. 2-star hero. Healer.”
Gasp erupted. Ranker-clan heroes especially zeroed in on him. The quiet hall buzzed alive.
“Haa…! That felt amazing.”
Stepping out of the hall, Ye-rin couldn’t remember feeling this good. She’d crushed annoying Seol-ah’s vibe, soaked up classmates’ jealousy. Just days ago, she’d fretted over even showing up. Who knew it’d go this smooth?
“Thanks so much, Raid Leader.”
“Nah, I had fun too.”
Minguk shrugged at her words. He meant it.
Great vibe, chats with tons of hot female heroes. High-class hotel food was top-tier too.
Only downside? Female heroes staring every time he sipped coffee or ate dessert. Sneaky photos felt awkward. Like being the zoo’s star panda.
“When my real boyfriend bailed, I panicked about coming solo…”
“That desperation scored you the golden ticket.”
One hell of a lucky break.
A few heroes they’d met passed by, saying hi. Most headed to the parking lot, but some with dates went upstairs. Watching, Minguk glanced at Ye-rin and tossed out casually,
“They’re in for a good night, huh?”
“Ugh, jealous. I hate my boyfriend going out, but he’s fine meeting others. Guess I embarrass him. Won’t go anywhere with me. Wanna try a stay like that once…”
Ye-rin’s face scrunched mid-sentence.
“Wait, no. Not boyfriend anymore. Asshole.”
“Hmm. I like sleeping in places like that. Nice atmosphere.”
Ye-rin froze at Minguk’s sudden line. His hand brushed her styled hair.
Large fingers stroked down to her shoulder, then trailed softly over the exposed skin above her plunging neckline. Pure seduction.
“……Mind adding me to your cartel, Raid Leader?”
She nodded after a beat. She’d dump the boyfriend anyway after this. Didn’t wanna see his face, and knowing him, he wouldn’t care.
‘He’ll game and snag another girl.’
Like he did with her. Maybe she’d just been a sugar mama, not a girlfriend. Those daily gaming girls? Probably his cartel.
Decision made, Ye-rin wrapped her arms around Minguk’s waist. Oh, and So-jeong spilled: all of newbie Team 4 were the raid leader’s cartel.
“I’ll cover the room. Know that? I’m loaded like Hero Oh Hyun-ah. Well, not all mine…”
Minguk chuckled. The pair headed upstairs. In the hotel room, Ye-rin didn’t hide her lust. Door shut, she yanked down his zipper and slipped her hand inside.
“Whoa… it’s huge. Lemme get it out.”
“W-wait. Already?”
Her bold move threw Minguk off a bit. Ye-rin fondled him as she spoke.
“Saw those girls staring on the way up?”
He nodded. Heroes and civilians alike.
“Pure envy. Probably jerking off wishing they were me, getting railed by you. Got me all hot thinking about it. You’re responsible all night.”
Kinky streak? Super aware of eyes on her? As Minguk pondered, Ye-rin freed his cock. She gripped it in a circle, stroking slow, then stuck out her tongue.
“Mmph. Ngh…”
Her tongue worked harder by the second. The thick shaft vanished into her mouth, over and over. Minguk leaned down, sliding her dress straps off her shoulders. They snapped free, baring her smooth curves.
“Ngh…”
Was she really that turned on? Her toes brushed her crotch—wet slick on her skin. A little push, and toes slipped in easy.
“Mmm. Fucking perfect. So damn hard. Nothing like that asshole’s.”
“Asshole?”
Her curse jarred him; he looked down. She caught it, explaining quick.
“I-it’s just… I swear when I’m horny.”
“Never seen that side of you…”
“I try to hold back usually. Didn’t used to, but gaming made me curse more. If it bugs you—”
He shook his head. Not his first time with a dirty-talker. Lin Sha spat fire when he railed her too. But not at the damn door.
Stepping over her dropped dress, Minguk grabbed her arm, lifting her. Panties-only, her naked body gleamed raw in his eyes. Hands at her neck and knees, he scooped her up princess-style.
Destination: the ultra-lux bed. All-night responsibility? He’d deliver.
