I went from an F-rank to an E-rank student. (7)
I went from an F-rank to an E-rank student. (7)
-Hello, Kim Si-woo-nim. I'm Leisha, in the same class. The reason I'm contacting you separately like this is because I saw your performance during last time's dungeon practice and wanted to talk to you about it...
I was in the middle of having sex with A-young, so I replied half-assedly.
-Hope you had a good day today...
I was in the middle of conquering a Glass World, so I replied half-assedly.
-Are you busy today too? Can't you spare just one day?
I was watching Seo-in's naked lewd dance, so I replied half-assedly.
-Are you ignoring me on purpose...?
Took her long enough to figure it out.
"Si-woo-ya, she's going this far—don't you think it might be good to meet her once?"
She said, lying side by side with me on A-young's bed.
For reference, today A-young said she just wanted to talk instead of sex, so that's what we were doing.
"Hmm... Is there really any need? It's probably just a party recruitment invite anyway."
Her first message already reeked of party recruitment from the get-go.
"Yeah, probably."
A-young nodded in agreement.
Right now, we'd saved up 3000 GP and applied for D-rank.
Naturally, other parties had come recruiting us both, and we'd turned them all down flat.
We remembered how they'd looked at us back then.
Even without that reason, their talent levels were just way too low anyway.
I couldn't use the Eye of Talent due to low favorability, but I recalled what I'd seen when forming parties early in the game.
At best, B-grade.
No way it'd catch my eye after seeing A-young's SSS-grade Spirit Arts talent.
In that same vein, I was viewing Leisha's invitation negatively too.
"A-young-ah, what's this Leisha girl like?"
"Hmm... She's kind, elegant, and pretty, so she's popular with both guys and girls."
Just like in the game.
Honestly, it was a bit surprising that someone like Leisha was trying to recruit for a party.
'Ah, that stalker incident!'
Suddenly, a memory like a snapshot flashed through my head.
From what I remembered, one of Leisha's party members, a guy named Han Geon-woo, got caught stalking her by another player, and that raised Leisha's favorability in an event.
"Hmm... Si-woo-ya, I think Leisha would be okay."
"...? What do you mean okay?"
After pondering for a moment, A-young spoke.
"Your girlfriend, girlfriend."
"No way, you've got me, and there's Seo-in too?"
"No. I wanted to get stronger myself, but even after letting you have Seo-in unni because I wanted to see you get stronger and satisfied, I still haven't seen your dick go soft even once?"
A-young shook her head as she said it.
Was it because she'd permitted Seo-in that her resistance had mostly vanished?
Her expression was just nonchalant.
"No. I'm plenty satisfied right now."
"Hmm..."
A-young narrowed her eyes, staring into mine like she was piercing through my lie.
Honestly, it made me a bit guilty.
Having such vigorous libido was great, but the fact that my erection never fully went down after sex left a weird dissatisfaction.
But I had no doubt that a 3P with A-young and Seo-in would solve that issue easily.
For reference, I'd already gotten permission from Seo-in, but not from A-young yet.
"As long as you don't make me lonely, whatever you want is fine."
A-young said, stroking my chest muscles.
Is this the power of 100 favorability?
What can I say... it felt like she'd even make baby sounds and let me raise her if I asked.
"I told you it won't be like that."
And in the end, we had sex until A-young passed out.

"Today's Special Class is combat practice! Pick your combat partners and report! The fights will take place inside the Glass World, and elixirs are prepared! But don't let any major accidents happen!"
The homeroom teacher bellowed in a booming voice.
His voice was so loud it echoed across the entire training ground, making my ears hurt.
Who'd believe this guy was over sixty?
"Si-woo-ya... what do we do?"
"Yeah, right."
We always moved together, and we'd planned to do this Special Class as a pair too.
But combat practice where you fight each other changes things.
I couldn't hurt A-young with my own hands.
Students paired up one by one and reported to the homeroom teacher, and one approached us.
It was Jang Dong-jin, the class delinquent with a bad rep.
"A-young-ah, didn't you see my message yesterday?"
He sauntered up to A-young all casual-like and struck up a conversation.
Acting like that even with me right next to her—who does this blond tanned dude think he is?
A deep disgust started bubbling up from the pit of my stomach.
"Don't contact me."
But A-young's reaction was ice-cold.
She said it coldly without even glancing at him.
By the way, had other students messaged A-young too?
I'd seen a few girls who'd messaged me via the emergency contact network.
Both of us were pretty good-looking, and we'd proven our skills in the last dungeon practice.
"Hmm... Who's gonna eat you? I just wanna hang out."
"Hey."
I'd ignore a casual pickup line, but keep hitting on my girl and it's a different story.
I blocked him with a frosty tone as he tried to approach A-young.
"Oh, that F-rank loser... Kim Si-woo, right?"
"Quit bothering us and fuck off."
As expected of a blond tanned delinquent—does he die if he doesn't act cocky?
Shoving his hands in his pockets, bending at the waist, and tilting his face up—his pose was so fucking childish.
He probably thought that was intimidating in his own way.
"Haha... this fucker's got a mouth on him. Who's trying to steal your girlfriend? I just wanna taste her once. A-young-ah, dump this scrawny parasite-looking fucker and hang with me. I'll send you to heaven. Yeah?"
"You fucking...!"
"Si-woo-ya. Hold on."
This gold sun fucker had crossed the line by a mile.
People were starting to gather around, hearing the commotion.
Among them, I spotted Leisha and her knight Chloe.
As I went to grab his collar, A-young stopped me.
"Scrawny parasite? Funny way to put it. Fine. I'll hang out with you for a day. But only if you beat the Si-woo you called scrawny."
"A-young-ah!?"
I was shocked by A-young's words, calling her name back, and murmurs rippled through the crowd.
There's no way I'd lose to him.
I'd saved up about 6000 Vitality and 700 points.
In E-rank state, I didn't need to invest more, so I was holding onto them.
"Ooh, why not just say you wanna throw yourself at me? No need to embarrass your future ex like this? Your boyfriend's E-rank, I'm C-rank?"
The gathered students seemed to buy his words too, murmuring that maybe A-young just wanted to throw herself at him like the gold sun fucker said.
'Haa... these fuckers really know how to make people sick without end.'
Still, Leisha and Chloe were just watching quietly from the side.
"But I have a condition."
"Yeah, what? Should I use just one hand?"
The gold sun was so sure of his win that he swung one arm around as he spoke.
"No. If you lose, apologize to me and Si-woo and drop out."
The crowd buzzed even louder at A-young's words.
Even the gold sun fucker looked shocked, finally stopping his cocky posturing to stare at A-young.
Only she knew here.
That this was a bet placed on the calculation that I'd definitely win.
Leisha was watching us with a worried expression too.
"Ha, hahaha! You think I'd chicken out and run? Fine. But if I win, you're my girlfriend?"
"Save that bullshit for after you win."
A-young was getting pissed dealing with him too, spitting out rough words in reply.
The gold sun couldn't back out now with everyone watching.
To get into Garden, Korea's top academy, he'd put in some effort at least.
"Hmm, whatever, fine."
"Hmm. What's going on here to cause such a commotion? Has everyone picked partners?"
The homeroom teacher, who'd just come back from installing cameras in the Glass World, sensed the noise and approached the crowd around me, A-young, and the gold sun.
"It's nothing. Teacher, I'll do combat practice with Jang Dong-jin."
"Haa... what now. Even if you can't die for real inside the Glass World, avoid overly violent fights as much as possible."
"Yes."
Me and the gold sun answered at the same time.
∴
Jang Dong-jin.
C-rank fighter.
A skilled guy who swings fast punches and pretty powerful ones.
Before starting the fight, I allocated my stats and pulled up my status window.
Name: Kim Si-woo
Race: Incubus
Contractor: Seo A-young
Strength:10 Agility:30 Stamina:30 Endurance:14 Mana:44 Libido:11
Points: 1 Vitality: 133
Skills: Magic Missile(Lv1) Search(Lv1) Healing(Lv1) Blessing(200P) Stealth(Lv1) Erection Suppression(Lv4) Bind(7Lv) Acting(Lv1)
Abilities: Energy Absorption(Lv6) Sexual Technique(Lv5) Incubus's Eye(Lv1) Magic Acceleration(1Lv)
Special Abilities: Incubus's Contract(S) Eye of Talent(C)
I used about 700 points to raise 200 BP, Mana, Agility, and Stamina, used 4900 Vitality to make Bind level 7, and 1000 Vitality to create the Magic Acceleration ability.
"Don't push yourself too hard—why not just give up moderately? Better than getting beat by me and losing your girlfriend, right? Just losing her is better, yeah?"
"..."
I ignored the gold sun's words.
I knew damn well it was provocation meant to rattle me, no need to play along.
"Ah, thinking about groping those huge tits is already making me hard... heh, can't wait to shove my dick in and make her moan."
The gold sun didn't even consider the possibility of losing from the start.
And absolutely not gonna happen even if I died and came back, but anyway, he couldn't fuck A-young because of the Yin Mark.
"Hmph. With a dick not even as good as your finger, you sure talk big."
"What...! You fucker...! It's not small!"
I mocked him, and he flipped out like I'd hit a nerve, yelling back.
For a guy who'd been provoking so gleefully, he fell for it way too easily—pathetic.
I glanced over; the sand in the timer was almost done falling.
-Mana +36
-Agility +4
-Magic Missile +3
-Magic Acceleration +11
Just beating him normally wouldn't mean shit.
I needed to humiliate him, make him feel utter defeat, and shame him publicly.
So no other guy would ever hit on A-young again.
Unlike skills, abilities cost double BP, so I invested in Magic Acceleration up to over level 10 and waited for the sand to run out.
3 seconds... 2 seconds... 1 second...
As soon as the sand finished, he charged at me, yelling.
"I'll eat your girlfriend so good...!"
"Bind."
Since voices weren't picked up by the cameras, he spewed his filthy shit without a care as he rushed me, but he got caught super easily by my Bind.
Pretty fast movement, but he couldn't overcome skill acceleration level 11—mana ropes bound his whole body tight. He struggled to break free, but it was pointless.
His eyes were thick with shock.
"Time to get beat."
As a C-rank duelist, his Endurance stat was probably pretty high.
And with Glass World rules where once a party enters, the entrance seals until they exit—no one to stop me.
I prepared mana orbs, Magic Missiles.
Twenty of them. Consuming 40% of my Mana.
"Beg for your life. I won't spare you, but who knows?"
He trembled.
Even if I beat him to death right now, it'd be fine.
They said avoid violent fights, but why prepare elixirs in the Glass World?
For monsters?
It's a Glass World with just F- white skeletons wandering around.
Garden couldn't teach killing people directly, but they built tolerance for murder like this.
Since hunters face not just monsters, but villain humans too.
All I could do was thank A-young's foresight for giving me this chance.
