23. Sexual Harassment
Annihilation Light
A blinding white light erupted, punching straight through the orc's chest with a pop. The beam infused with annihilating power didn't stop there—it surged forward, swallowing the monsters behind the orc as well.
And right on cue, a level up message popped up. Looked like her level had gone up from killing those monsters. But aside from the message, nothing seemed to have changed.
So Eun-byeol felt the strength drain rapidly from her body.
"Hngh."
She staggered. Her mana was far too immature to properly handle Annihilation Light. Normally, awakening came with enough mana to wield skills perfectly, but hers stemmed from her constellation, so she only had a tiny bit more than an average person.
Thanks to that, even one shot depleted her mana and mental energy, leaving her head foggy.
Blood trickled from her nose—a classic symptom of mana exhaustion.
"Kieek!"
Even after watching Annihilation Light devour the orc and a few E-rank monsters, the remaining ones didn't flee in fear. Instead, they pegged So Eun-byeol as the threat and swarmed her.
I need to dodge.
She stared at the charging monsters. She had to move, but her body wouldn't obey. The backlash from overusing mana had hit—the mana aura was devouring her control over her body.
She just blankly watched the goblin horde close in.
But the monsters never touched her.
"Hnghng, honestly wasn't expecting much."
A woman from the spectator seats soared into the air, blocking So Eun-byeol's path. She was a blonde twintail girl around 160cm tall.
Having crashed the exam, she casually swung her hand—perbub. The heads of the monsters charging at So Eun-byeol exploded on impact.
"Who knew there'd be a gem like this."
Born to a Korean mom and American dad, her name was Marie Kim.
"You. Join our guild."
An A-rank hunter and guild master of Rose Gold.
"Hnghngh."
So Eun-byeol walked toward the auditorium, humming unconsciously. She'd hoped for it a little, but never dreamed she'd actually get scouted—by a famous mid-tier guild, no less!
Gotta brag to Master Constellation~.
She had to report this good news to her constellation right away. He hadn't checked yet, but she could tell him tonight.
I'll ask him to pat my head.
Just thinking about chatting with Master Constellation all night lifted her spirits.
Told Mom, told my little bro... who else?
Crushed by her part-time job, studies, and life, she didn't have many friends. Hadn't touched SNS much since high school, so nowhere to really show off.
Whatever, doesn't matter.
It's not like she died if she couldn't brag. Joining a solid guild was what counted.
"Heehee."
Beaming, she entered the auditorium. Following the order Lee Hyun had given earlier, she sought him out.
"I'm here."
The seat next to him was empty. People must've instinctively sensed the trash and avoided sitting there.
She sat beside Lee Hyun. She couldn't stop grinning for some reason.
She fantasized about her rosy future—until shluck. Right up until Lee Hyun's hand plunged into her pussy.
"Haht?!"
She desperately stifled her moan. Making weird noises here might make her die of embarrassment.
She whipped her head around, glaring at him. This trash bastard didn't pull out even under her glare. He went bolder, fingering her pussy.
Her good mood crashed into the shitter.
"Your pussy's all sweaty? Nah, pussy juice? You're in heat?"
"Shut... up."
"Cute."
Swish. Lee Hyun withdrew from her pussy. He wiped the sticky mix of her juices on the chair without a care.
No shame whatsoever. How could a person be such garbage? Revolting, filthy, disgusting. She wanted to kill him.
Whether he knew she'd murdered him a hundred times in her head or not, Lee Hyun grabbed her hand and lifted it.
"H-hey, what the fuck are you—"
"What? I touched your stuff, so you touch mine. Fair, right?"
Lee Hyun guided So Eun-byeol's hand to his crotch. She freaked and tried to yank away, but his command turned her into a ragdoll, unable to resist.
Why... why me...?
She felt her hand grow hot. He'd shoved it into his underwear.
"Grab my dick."
"...Yes."
So Eun-byeol fumbled inside his panties and gripped his dick. Rock-hard and throbbing like a hot coal.
Her eyes spun as she scanned around. If anyone saw, she'd never show her face again. And if rumors spread about her doing this pervert shit in public, her guild contract might get axed. No decent mid-tier guild would take a freak like that.
But that was just her problem. Lee Hyun smirked arrogantly, savoring her touch.
She wanted to smack him a hundred times if she could. Of course, all she could do now was jerk him off with her hand...
Swish, swish.
Trapped in the stuffy panties, So Eun-byeol stroked Lee Hyun's dick. Turned on, he shoved his hand back into her pussy. Like lewd lovers, they fondled each other's junk right there in the auditorium.
"Ngh..."
Lee Hyun let out a short groan. Hot liquid oozed over her hand.
This crazy fuck had cum in public.
"A-are you insane?!"
So Eun-byeol whispered frantically. How could he bust a nut with hundreds of people around...? Her common sense couldn't process it.
"Hngh, who told you to stroke it like that?"
"You... made me...!"
"Whatever. Wipe it up with your hand."
"Nngh..."
Squeeze. She milked his dick with her hand, wiping up the cum. Pulling out, she saw thick white globs coating her palm.
The smell...
A heavy night-bloom scent wafted up. Strong enough that anyone sitting nearby would sniff out the cum.
"Eat it. What're you waiting for?"
"...Pardon?"
She'd been pondering how to ditch the filthy load when his words made her blurt a reflexive reply. What the fuck did this dog just say?
"Lick it clean."
"Th-that's ridiculous...!"
Her mouth protested, but her body wouldn't obey. She stuck out her tongue and lapped at the cum on her hand.
The taste she could never get used to zinged across her tongue. Before anyone saw, she choked back her nausea and slurped it down.
"Hngh, relax. No one's paying attention to us."
"Please... stop this... Don't you have any shame?"
"Heh, be grateful I only made you use your hand, not your mouth."
"Wh-what?!"
"Anyway, how'd the exam go?"
He changed the subject. She clamped her mouth shut.
"Answer."
"...Yes."
Her cute rebellion was swiftly crushed. She had no choice but to answer his questions obediently.
"Rose Gold's guild master scouted you herself?"
"Yes."
"Oho... She's hot? What about her tits and ass size?"
"Is that all that's in your head?"
"Heh heh heh. Saw pics—she's fucking stacked."
Too annoyed to even tell him to shut up, So Eun-byeol sighed deeply and just nodded along vaguely. Rebelling only hurt her anyway. No way she'd win unless he grew a conscience.
Beeeep.
Mid-grope, microphone feedback echoed through the speakers. He pulled his hand from her pussy and looked to the podium.
Finally, the bullshit wait was over.
"Guess it's starting."
A man had taken the stage. Kim Yong-hu, vice president of the Korean Hunter Association. Nothing special about him. Everyone knew "vice president" just meant the president's errand boy for events like this. Paid well, but no real power.
"Ahem, greetings. To all the successful candidates who overcame countless trials and tribulations to pass the hunter exam. I'm Kim Yong-hu, vice president of the Korea Hunter Association. First, congratulations on—"
And so began the tedious "orientation" speech. Lee Hyun listened for a bit, fiddled with his phone, then dozed off.
