Chapter Title: Succubus Appears (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Star Cloud Guild Master's daughter.
Lee Ji-hyun was thoroughly pissed off right now.
Baek Hwa, her friend since childhood, had always been obedient and listened to most of what she said.
It was only natural. Ji-hyun thought of Hwa as a friend, but Hwa saw her as the Young Lady she had to serve.
But what the hell was this now?
"So, why the hell did you go into the men's-only bathroom...?"
"I-It was...! There are four women sharing two bathrooms, but one guy hogging a whole one felt unfair!"
Realizing what it felt like to be betrayed by a trusted friend, Ji-hyun clutched her forehead.
She'd brought the guy Park A-jun onto the team just because it seemed fun, and decided to live together.
Of course, the official reason was team harmony and bonding, but the real reason was pure amusement.
'I didn't think Baek Hwa would hate it this much... Should I kick him out? He's showing no signs of getting stronger anyway.'
Park A-jun had kept her entertained since moving in, but she couldn't keep him around if it earned her resentment from Baek Hwa, who she'd have to lead Star Cloud Guild with someday.
It would've been nice if he'd shown some growth potential fitting his rare class.
Practical training was right around the corner, but his stats were not just pathetic—they were in ruins.
Swordsmanship and Toughness had risen quickly, but his job rank and job skills were still stuck at F-Rank.
His job rank experience was even over negative 30,000%...
The higher the job rank, the more efficient job skills became and the greater the growth multipliers, so this was a gravely serious number.
Even if he had talent in Swordsmanship and Toughness—skills anyone could learn and which had leveled fast—he couldn't bring out their true power with a job rank like that.
"Y-Young Lady! I'm sorry! I won't do it again! Forgive me just this once..."
"Enough. It's fine. It's partly my fault too."
Park A-jun, the victim, hadn't been called on purpose.
He was in a position to receive an apology from Ji-hyun, not a lecture, so there was no need to drag him into scolding Baek Hwa.
"You hate guys that much?"
"Pardon? N-No, it's not guys I hate... It's that I hate seeing you suffer because of that guy..."
How loyal could she be?
Ji-hyun felt her anger melting away. It could be seen as flattery or an excuse from Baek Hwa, but words revealing her loyalty were like sweet candy—hard to spit out.
"Sigh. Fine. Let's put up with him for one month. If he really doesn't shape up, we'll kick him out and find a new teammate."
"!!!"
Baek Hwa's eyes widened hugely.
'Oh no...'
'She's moved~!'
Seeing Baek Hwa's flustered look, Ji-hyun thought she was touched.
But Baek Hwa was just worrying her fantasy might crumble.
That night.
After apologizing for her mistake, Baek Hwa was fuming mad.
"Ha-! Is he even a guy? When a girl apologizes...! Huh? So how should she apologize? Like this! 'It's okay' and done?!"
The reason? Park A-jun had accepted her apology way too easily.
In the ero comics she'd seen, a guy who caught a girl in a weak spot like this would've shamelessly made them do humiliating things.
She'd gone to apologize alone with those expectations... But they say high hopes lead to big disappointments.
Betrayed, Baek Hwa pulled out the panties she'd secretly stashed away.
A man's boxer briefs.
One day, when Park A-jun was taking laundry and dropped them by mistake, Baek Hwa had picked them up.
"Sniff-! Ha-!"
She buried her nose in the boxer briefs, which reeked strongly of night flower scent—probably from a wet dream—and started masturbating alone.
"Starting today, we'll begin practical lectures."
The boring theory sessions were finally over, and practical training time had arrived.
They'd trained hard for a week for this day.
"Whoa~ Some guy's getting bus rides from the girls..."
"Hey, hey. He's a pervert, right? Must be killing him."
Backstage whispers badmouthing me, loud enough to hear.
In the past week at the academy, I'd become the sleazy pervert using his job to seduce women. And since my own twin sister was supposedly one of them, you can imagine how vicious the rumors were.
"What did you say? You calling us sluts right now!!"
"How dare you insult the Young Lady?"
But I don't get mad.
Actually, I can't even if I wanted to.
My twin sister Park A-young—whose job rank had grown to D—and Baek Hwa with her Sword Saint class shot up unbelievably fast and yelled.
"W-Waa-!! W-Would anyone like some bread?"
"Both of you, stop it."
Seeing that, Cha Yu-rin tried to calm things by offering bread, and Young Lady Lee Ji-hyun sat them down.
They weren't stopping the fight out of magnanimity.
This was lecture time, after all.
Even if the other side was wrong, they had to hold back.
Of course, once class ended, Yu-rin and Ji-hyun would be the first to smash them.
Yu-rin, poor family background, always paid back any slight with evil glee, and Star Cloud Guild Master's daughter Ji-hyun was pride incarnate.
They wouldn't tolerate being indirectly called sluts obsessed with my dick.
"We'll see you after class."
"N-No, that's not what we—"
Maybe because they're just barely adults.
The guys realized too late they'd insulted not just me—surrounded by girls—but the Star Cloud Guild Master's daughter, and started panicking at Ji-hyun's glare.
Told you to watch your mouth.
"Quiet there. That team seems confident, huh?"
As our group got rowdy, Professor Kim Se-yeon called for attention.
'Ugh. What about those tits...'
Being an Archmage or whatever, just a quick glance forward and those massive mana bags bulging through her clothes drew my eyes involuntarily.
Not just me—other guys held their breath at the overwhelming sight.
Whether she noticed the stares or not, the professor turned back and explained how practicals would work.
"Teams will enter the academy's practice Gates one by one. Monsters inside are just goblins, specters, and zombies—three types. Weak ones, so with the academy gear, you won't get hurt. But treat it like real combat.
Even in the first Hunter rank exam, people get low ranks from slacking off thinking it's safe, so stay alert always."
Clear and concise explanation.
"Just in case, I'll put up barriers; if they break, teleport magic will pull you out instantly. This week, failures won't affect grades, but next week they will, so be careful."
Finished explaining, the professor led us straight to the training Gate area.
Training Gate or not, it was a real Gate.
Controllable Gates weren't destroyed by breaking the core, per policy.
Since Gates appeared, the world ran on mana stones from monsters as new energy, not fossils.
Practice Gates were kept for similar resource reasons.
To allow realistic training with only weak monsters inside.
"Any team confident enough to go first?"
"We'll go in!"
"Hmm. Confidence befitting the Star Cloud Guild Master's daughter."
Professor nodded at our team leader, Young Lady Lee Ji-hyun, who raised her hand first, and sent us into the Gate first.
Gate rank measurement is near flawless now.
But very rarely, powerful monsters unlike the Gate's rank appear.
No one knows why, but one thing's clear: they're huge threats.
'Human... male...?'
Succubus Queen Bianca was one such existence.
An S-Rank monster said to be a catastrophe.
A legendary being now, requiring S-Rank Hunter teams for raids.
When Gates appeared and she was active, she soon hid in one and fell asleep.
No human man satisfied her, so she'd slumbered long.
But now.
With Park A-jun's SSS Stamina drawing her with its intense night flower scent, she awoke from slumber.
