Bang—!!
Kim Yun-ji stared at the scene unfolding before her eyes and, without realizing it, smashed her desk to pieces.
Swishhh—! The desk crumbled, sending all the research papers stacked on top scattering across the floor, but Kim Yun-ji didn't care one bit.
Research had always come first for her, but not anymore. That's why she couldn't contain her rage at what was happening right in front of her.
"And the mark that I'm Master's bitch is firmly embedded in the status window as my job♥"
"That slut... Grr!"
She ground her teeth so hard it felt like they might shatter, dying to charge out right then and throw herself at Baek Hwa and Bianca.
Not only had they spent the whole day having sex, but they'd even gotten the mark of being Park A-jun's bitch etched into their status windows as a job... How enviable... no, how utterly shameless!
"Ha! A bitch with nothing but her family's emblem to her name and some non-human creature hitting on our A-jun? Those bitches...!"
Compared to Baek Hwa and Bianca, she was a certified intellectual of this era, an S-Rank Hunter who'd built her own guild from scratch with nothing but her friends and no backing from any family or guild. She was the epitome of a capable woman.
So of course, Kim Yun-ji couldn't stand seeing Baek Hwa and Bianca fawning over her A-jun... Even if Park A-jun was the one leading the sex, making them a bit innocent in all this.
"Ah... Right, there's no way a brilliant woman like me isn't A-jun's bitch. Status window!"
In the midst of her frustration, Professor Kim Yun-ji suddenly remembered she was one of the era's leading intellectuals. If even airheaded girls like Baek Hwa and Bianca had proof in their status windows that A-jun had claimed them as his bitches...
Then surely A-jun had already marked her as his bitch...
"Aaaah!! Th-this can't be...! It has to be a dream!!"
But contrary to her hopes, her status window looked much the same as the last time she'd checked it.
"This... Gulp...!!"
In the end, Professor Kim Yun-ji despaired at the unbelievable reality and fainted for the first time in her life.
By the time she woke up, a full week had passed.
"Haaak! Haaak..."
Bianca and Baek Hwa, collapsed from the intense sex training, lay sprawled on the floor, gasping for breath without a single one able to move.
They were both stunning beauties who could captivate any man's gaze just by walking by. But their usual aloof, untouchable expressions were gone. Now, their beauty carried a sultry, whore-like allure.
Covered in fluids—snot or semen, impossible to tell—their hair and faces were a mess, tongues lolling out as drool trickled down. It was so intoxicating that any man would lose his mind, get hard, and pounce.
Throb...!
Even I, the one who'd reduced them to this state, got hard again just looking.
But that was enough for today. Dinner time was approaching.
Our team always gathered for meals at set times to build camaraderie—unless something urgent came up. If either Baek Hwa or I skipped out, the others would come looking.
So, to get Baek Hwa up, I lightly pressed down on her breast with my foot.
"Get up. It's time to eat."
"Hiiik♥♥... F-food? J-just... a sec..."
"Hurry up and wash off."
Press... Press...!
"Ooooh♥♥!!"
She seemed to love having her breast stepped on. Even speaking as the Sword Saint Baek Hwa, not her pussy slave self, she bucked her hips wildly, squirting her juices.
Splash... Splash...
Every time she moved, the semen clinging to her body dripped off, making wet sounds.
"Ah, can't just do Baek Hwa."
The noise reminded me of Bianca, whom I'd forgotten. She wasn't as cum-drenched as Baek Hwa, but her pale naked body was still coated in plenty.
Squish-!
"Hiiik-♥♥ M-Master...!"
The moment I stepped on her breast, Bianca jolted awake with a fierce reaction, looking up at me from below.
She was like a single flower. A flower I wanted to snap and display in my room.
"W-wait... If you're doing it one more time, me too...!"
Catching my gaze, Baek Hwa crossed her arms to push up her breasts, appealing to me. Not the arrogant pose from before, but one meant to seduce by emphasizing her chest.
As the Sword Saint after sex—not pussy slave mode—lifting her own tits with her hands would be too vulgar, so this was probably her limit.
"Next time. No time now."
But I had to hold back. Dinner was about to start.
And even if I gained EXP from sex, after dinner, I needed to move my body a bit. As the saying goes, doing something once beats reading about it a hundred times. Before entering a gate, I needed real combat practice too.
"Today's kimchi stew looks delicious~!!"
After a quick rinse, we headed down. Everyone except me, Bianca, and Baek Hwa was already gathered, ready to eat. Cha Yu-rin was setting the steaming pot of kimchi stew on the table.
She handled breakfast and dinner for the team right now. Lunch was at the academy, and breakfast was kept light. Lee Ji-hyun had suggested Cha Yu-rin, with her Baker job, make them to level up her skills as a bonus.
Dinner used to be handled by a hired chef, but one day Cha Yu-rin offered to take the chef's salary and handle it herself. Her skills matched the pro's, so everyone was satisfied.
"Tomorrow, we're all getting new gear fitted."
"Wow! Really?"
"Gear?"
For Hunters, gear was like a second life—vitally important.
It was so crucial that lectures emphasized practicing with new gear or testing it in real combat to get used to it.
So using personal gear at the academy was fine. Until now, Lee Ji-hyun had us using basic standard-issue stuff to focus on building our skills first.
But after Lee Ha-eun's recent approach, she'd felt the threat and decided to outfit us properly.
"Yeah. Up to 100 million per person, so pick whatever you want."
100 million?
I nearly spat out the kimchi stew in my mouth. How loaded was the head of a massive guild like Star Cloud Guild?
Even Lee Ji-hyun, supposedly at a disadvantage in the succession fight, could splash cash like this...!
"Wait, I heard you're behind your siblings financially. You sure about spending like that...?"
"Sigh... A-jun. That story..."
In my shock, I blurted it out to Lee Ji-hyun without thinking.
Asking about her family without tact... Even if she got mad, I couldn't argue.
Pinch-!
"Hey... Are you insane?"
Park A-young pinched my side and whispered, showing just how tactless I'd been.
"No, you all deserve to know. You chose to follow me, after all. Basically, yeah, I'm losing the succession fight. Or rather, I'm not even in the running. Outside of Baek Hwa, my mentor, and the instructors assigned to each of you, I have zero Hunter support. So when you said you'd help, I was truly grateful."
What?
I hadn't realized Lee Ji-hyun's faction was this weak. Star Cloud Guild had thousands of Hunters.
And she only had like ten supporters...?
'That's brutal.'
But I didn't regret my choice. With Bianca, I could fend for myself at least.
Even without her, I wouldn't have betrayed Lee Ji-hyun after she'd invested so much in a lifelong pack mule like me.
"Anyway, Dad wants to pass the guild to the most outstanding child, like always in our family. Birth order doesn't matter, and we all get the same allowance from him. It's not much... about 100 million a month?"
What? Calling 100 million a month "not much" blew my mind with her sense of money.
"My siblings who blew their allowances couldn't even enter the race. But I'm different. I invested mine and made it pay off."
"Invested where?"
"Ilshin Guild, Ilshin Hunter Materials Exchange, Ilshin Processing..."
Ilshin Group.
A conglomerate that had risen to the top ranks in Korea in just 15 years. Ilshin Guild was a small outfit, but the affiliates were true giants.
Investing there from childhood... She must have raked in insane amounts.
"I own all the shares in Ilshin."
"What?"
Lee Ji-hyun was even more impressive than I'd thought...
