Chapter Title: Limit Measurement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I came refreshingly and sent the two of them on their way. To commemorate the Peach Garden Oath, I even made a separate group chat for the Crew.
When I first invited them, I could never forget the way Jeong Sua's eyes sparkled with excitement.
'Her eyes bulging with anticipation, like it was her first group chat with friends...'
There were only three of us, so it didn't really feel like a group chat, but the sense of belonging was definitely there. It felt like things were finally moving forward after enrolling in the Academy.
I wasn't the only one feeling this way. Yoo Gayoung and Jeong Sua said pretty much the same thing—that it felt like the real deal had begun.
Kkaetok-.
A message popped up in the 1st Year Class A group chat. It was an announcement from Lim Sarang. Summarizing it roughly: Limit Measurement tomorrow, so manage your conditions accordingly.
Limit Measurement. As the name implied, it measured just how far a Hero's limits went. Since each student's superpowers manifested differently, the measurements would be tailored to suit each individual.
'Do Captains really do nothing?'
Lim Sarang gave special warnings only to the female students and wrapped up the announcement. She didn't say a word about what the Captain candidates had to do. It was probably easier to assume there was nothing.
If I had to find a role for Captains in the Limit Measurement—
Maybe it was to stockpile semen in our balls so the Hero candidates could unleash their powers to their hearts' content.
Time suddenly felt empty. The sun was still blazing outside, but I had nothing to do right away. Instead of rolling around the room in a daze, I figured I'd take a walk around the dorms and headed out.
The 50th-floor exclusive elevator. I liked this more than the penthouse for top enrollees. If they'd just tossed me into the 50th-floor penthouse alone, it would've been inconvenient instead.
The best part was not having to wait.
—He's coming down, he's coming down.
—This is Lee Hyunwoo, right?
—The runners-up are outside, so it has to be one of the top two.
A commotion came from outside the elevator. It was so blatant that I couldn't help but chuckle. Girls staking out. The atmosphere was no different from the morning commute.
The elevator doors opened on the first floor. Outside, Hero candidates were lined up in a row. Even a fan signing event for their favorite idol wouldn't have this much hype.
It wasn't hype—it was closer to madness.
"Hyunwoo! Hyunwoo! It's me, me. Don't you remember?"
"Dick! Show us your dick just once! They say you showed it during self-intros in Class A!"
"There's a video. Check the 'Mimo' 19+ board!"
The girls were chattering away on their own. Thanks to them, the first-floor lobby was as noisy as a marketplace. It was enough to make my head spin. I was starting to get pissed at these below-average girls oinking and squealing.
"Got your Crew yet?"
"You've only fed semen to two so far, right? Still got three spots open?"
"Already snagged two? Wow."
They already had all my info down pat. I had virtually no personal privacy left.
Feeding semen to Lim Sarang and Jeong Sua during self-intros in the gym. Enjoying Yoo Gayoung's mouth service after she courted me faster than the others.
The Future Heroes Forum was overflowing with info and photos about me. And no real crackdowns on it either.
It was because of my special position as the top Captain candidate of the Korean Hero Academy, Korea's premier training institution. They needed to know what kind of guy the tax-funded Academy was raising—something about the right to know.
A Captain candidate's personal complaints wouldn't fly. The other side had the grand justification of safeguarding Korea's security and peace.
"Me too! Me, I'll be useful! I've got an A-rank superpower! Oppa! A-rank superpower!"
"Fuck, what oppa? He's a freshman just like us!"
"If the dick's big and it gets hard for my body, they all said to call them oppa!"
"Who?"
"My sister!"
My head hurt. Even a quick outing was nearly impossible. Maybe because there were no classes. The 1st-year freshmen were swarming after me in a herd.
A Captain without a Crew was this defenseless. Without a dick, we were practically powerless. Just enduring without getting swept up in this crowd was impressive.
What if these girls were villains?
'I'd have been kidnapped or suffered something worse ages ago.'
One more lesson learned today. After graduating the Academy, I'd have to bring girls along as escorts every day. Felt like I'd turned into a kid, even though I wasn't one.
Honestly, it wasn't all that bad.
"Excuse me, coming through. Just a sec."
I pushed through the girls camped in the lobby bit by bit. Even getting dropped in the Amazon jungle wouldn't be this tough. A jungle of another kind, preying on the frail herbivore—Captain. No, a pussy jungle...
"Damn it."
Hands sneakily groped me here and there. Too many people to swat them all away, slipping through gaps in my guard to touch me. Those brief touches felt lewd. Some even fondled my dick before pulling away.
"Erection! Lee Hyunwoo's erect!"
Someone shouted. In that instant, all eyes went to my crotch. Excessive skinship had made my dick hard, pushing forcefully against my pants.
Eyes rolled. Girls blooming into womanhood were super interested in boys their age.
"Whoa... It really is different."
"It reacts right away with just a touch."
"...Dick..."
The girls eyed each other. A creepy silence fell for a moment. A powder keg situation. I worried these girls might do something bad, or that something bad might explode.
Then, a thick arm shot out from the crowd. Short, chubby fingers stroked my thigh.
All the hands so far had been pale and slender. Too many to see faces clearly—
But I'd allowed it. Then suddenly a pig? Unbearable rage boiled up. Time to use her as a sacrifice to escape.
"You bitch!"
I swatted away the trotter and dragged her out. I had to see the face of the girl who'd kept the pork hocks I'd bought yesterday slung over her shoulder.
"Why touch my body?"
Pushed to the front by the crowd, a girl stood before me. As expected—right hand fried, left hand seasoned type—
Face to face, her hands and feet trembled. Heart pounding so hard she could barely breathe.
Having a pussy didn't make you a woman. You needed a face and body that could make a dick hard.
"Th-that's...! The others touched you too! It's not just me!"
The pig squealed, trying to implicate the crowd as accomplices. But I wouldn't let her.
I glared around with what I hoped was a menacing stare, signaling I knew everything—act right. A few flinched under my gaze.
They quickly turned on their same-age friend, backing her into a corner.
"Why touch Hyunwoo's body? Without permission!"
Thieves caught in their own trap crucified one of their own. Then threw stones despite sharing the crime. It was ridiculous.
'The world's gone mad.'
I felt it clearly. Every time I faced this bizarre situation, I truly sensed the gender-reversed world. Not bad at all. Felt kinda liberating, actually.
Taking advantage of their attention shifting, I slipped away. Nearly got caught again midway but escaped safely. Maybe they just let me go.
After all, I wasn't groped by just the pig. A tacit agreement in that instant.
"Whew, shit."
Who knew a simple walk would be this exhausting.
I wandered around the dorm complex. Broad daylight, sun blazing, so I saw plenty of girls in the same boat as me. Students killing time outside.
Occasionally seniors too.
"You have to do it here?"
"Yeah. I like doing it outside."
"I'll go second."
One guy, two girls. Behind the 2nd-year dorms, they were sucking and biting like crazy. Probably a Captain and Heroes. Same Crew.
"Ngh, ah...!"
They pinned the Captain against the wall, splitting his hands to restrain him. Buried their faces in his decently toned chest and started licking his brown nipples.
A buff guy who looked like he worked out hard, getting done in by girls. Infuriating yet kinda hot. The guy himself didn't seem to want it here, though—
"Hey!"
"What? What's wrong?"
"Acting like you saw a ghost?"
The guy getting pleasured by the two girls spotted me and his eyes widened. Looked startled but glad too.
The girls lifted their heads from his chest and turned. The guy pointed at me and yelled.
"That's the new top freshman enrollee! Number one!"
"Kyaa! Park Jihun, you crazy bastard!"
"Pushing us away outta nowhere!"
Seizing the chance, the guy shoved the girls aside and approached me. Striding over while fixing his clothes. His eyes reminded me of what happened earlier.
Me using the pig friend as bait to escape. This guy was doing the same. Didn't want to deal with horny freshmen girls, using me as bait to flee.
"Hang on, let's talk. Got a lot of questions."
"Sure, whatever..."
His face looked urgent, hard to refuse. I followed Park Jihun to relocate. His 2nd-year dorm, 50th-floor penthouse—
Park Jihun was the top Captain enrollee of the Korean Hero Academy's 68th class.
Being 2nd year didn't make much difference from 1st. Except his penthouse was stuffed with all sorts of women's underwear and boxes of condoms stacked up.
On the surface, total predator. Alpha male sample, cycling through girls and fucking them.
'So why's he like this?'
His decently handsome face had dark circles. Glancing around anxiously, like being chased—even in his own penthouse bedroom.
"Whew... No one's here. Sit here and wait a bit."
Confirming the spacious place was empty, Park Jihun offered me a seat. I took the chair without refusing. Scoped out the ordinary room vibe.
Park Jihun brought drinks and snacks, sitting across from me. Felt like a declaration of serious talk incoming. I'd followed a senior I just met out of politeness, now it felt burdensome.
"Sorry for dragging you here suddenly."
Park Jihun bowed his head deeply in apology. It felt genuine, so I couldn't just leave it. I waved it off and pulled him up.
"No worries. It's fine."
"Once those girls start, they don't let go. Tomorrow's Limit Measurement, they beg for just one load... Ugh."
"Your Crew seniors?"
"Too busy tending to Crew members. Obviously."
Just thinking of the girls drained him; Park Jihun sighed. Definitely different from the old world. With more girls than guys, you'd think they'd eat it up even if handed on a platter, but here he was complaining about not wanting it.
'Kids who don't know when they're well off.'
Suits me fine. With fewer men than women and men's libidos way lower, I wasn't losing out.
"Hmm. You need your own time too; it'd be rude to hold you too long."
"......"
"Lee Hyunwoo, Korean Hero Academy—Academy for short—69th class top enrollee. Right?"
"Yes."
"Yeah. You're already famous nationwide. Everyone's talking about Korea's hope or whatever... Anyway. What I wanna say isn't much."
Park Jihun caught his breath and continued.
"Club. Interested in an all-boys club?"
"All-boys club...?"
"No girls, only guys can join. Made it for a peaceful break during the semester—our own space. As top enrollee, you know how exhausting the girls are. I went through it too..."
I cut off Park Jihun and shook my head.
"I'm not interested in joining an all-boys club."
I stood up firmly. No point hearing more. Even if he was a senior top enrollee.
