Chapter Title: She's a Flawless S+ Grade Gym Bitch! A Body That Could Handle Quintuplets No Problem!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Get those counts right!"
"Oink! Oink! Oink...!"
"You're falling behind! Louder!!!"
"Oink!! Oink...!!!"
Cloé was running leisurely at the front of the pack.
The livestock trailing behind her were drenched in sweat, faces twisted in misery.
Meanwhile, Kuma was...
'What the hell is this...?'
She was pretty thrown off by this sudden stamina training.
Kuma glanced around cautiously before pushing ahead to the front and asking Cloé.
"Senior brood sow!"
"Yeah? Marina?"
"Mind if I ask something?"
"What is it?"
"Why do the livestock have to run?"
"So they can become healthy brood sows and earn the ranch owner's love, of course...♡"
"!"
A brood sow with a shitty body gets reshaped into a fuckable one...!
'What a systematic piece of trash!!'
Kuma was floored by Kim Taeyang's devious scheme.
"Oink...! Oink...!"
The run dragged on for quite a while.
As time passed, Kuma couldn't help but get seriously pissed...
'Why the fuck is their stamina this pathetic?!!'
She was stunned by the freshmen's pathetic endurance.
One male student grabbed at Kuma's clothes, clinging desperately.
"Huff... Pant... M-Marina...! Slow down just a bit..."
"Huh? What bullshit is that?!"
"If you charge ahead like that at the front... everyone else has to keep up... To run even a little less... even if we get picked on... we gotta go slow..."
'These spineless fucks...!'
It genuinely pissed her off.
She knew tons of students got expelled every year for shitty grades.
Sometimes she even worried if Ark's system was too ruthless.
But if their stamina was this bad...
'They don't deserve to be at Ark!! At least put in some fucking effort?!!'
Fuming, Kuma started whipping the kids into shape.
"If you've got the energy to spout that pathetic crap, take one more step!!"
"Ugh... Who the hell are you?! You're just another shitty brood sow like me!"
"Wanna get your ass beat by a shitty brood sow?! Huh?!! Run like your life depends on it if you fall behind!!! I'll actually kill the stragglers!!!!"
Kuma immediately headed to the back.
She kicked the asses of the lagging livestock, whipping them so they couldn't stop.
"You could run more but you're whining?! Huh?!! It's embarrassing to be Ark students with you lot!!!"
"Gaaah!"
"Marina's lost it...!"
"That demon bitch...!!"
"Cloé-senpai's bitching up front, and Marina's fucking us up from behind...!"
"Hey! What did you just say?!!"
And so Kuma played drill sergeant for a good long while.
By the end of the run...
The students were half-dead, souls practically gnawed away.
Of course, Cloé and Kuma were totally fine.
"Marina! Your stamina shot up so fast! You seem like a whole new person!"
"H-Hey, shitty brood sow Marina!! It's not like that! I'm the real Marina!!"
"Hehe. I just meant it feels that way. It's a compliment."
"...Thank you!!"
After stamina training wrapped up...
The ranch livestock followed Kim An-kyung to the clubroom.
"My rank's shitty boar, but during this time, I'm your one-shot wonder boar instructor! So get your heads in the game and focus on the lesson!!"
"Oink!!"
Kim An-kyung gave supplementary lessons to the first-years.
He was a top student with the best note-taking scores.
He'd taught friends before, so he was smooth at lecturing too.
'What an amazing lesson...! Even better than some professors...!'
Kuma was impressed by Kim An-kyung's class too.
Studying was her weak point—her note scores were always borderline, a constant issue.
She wouldn't flunk out thanks to practical skills, but it always bummed her out that her efforts didn't show in grades.
To her, Kim An-kyung's pinpoint lecture was downright moving.
'If only I'd had classes like this as a first-year...!'
She was listening with rapt attention when...
The students' heads started bobbling and dropping one by one.
Crackle-
Kuma ground her teeth.
'They're fucking dozing off?! Don't these idiots know how great this lesson is?!!'
It twisted her guts.
Ark freshmen like this?
So many on the verge of expulsion just because they couldn't fight off sleep...!
The passionate Kuma couldn't just let it slide.
She quietly stood and headed to the sleepy kids.
Then soothed them in a gentle voice.
"Wake up. Unless you wanna die."
"Eek!"
Kim An-kyung knew she was waking them and didn't say a word.
From then on, Kuma became the sleep police, cracking down on the students.
Of course, she couldn't be gentle with everyone.
"Hey, Rebel Nam. No sleeping. How many times is this?"
"Fuck. Leave me alone. I'm dying of exhaustion here..."
Rebel Nam snapped and flopped face-first onto his desk.
'This fucker...?'
Kuma barely held back her fist.
"Rebel Nam. Last warning."
"You've been yapping non-stop..."
Rebel Nam shot to his feet.
Kuma grabbed his throat like she'd been waiting and hoisted him into the air.
"Gack...! Kek...!"
"Hey asshole!! They're spoon-feeding you knowledge and you're gonna spit it out?!!! How fucking bloated does your gut have to be to sleep like this?!!! Huh?!!!!"
"M-My bad... Spare meee..."
While Rebel Nam flailed in midair...
Kim An-kyung took off his glasses and wiped his eyes.
"Sniff... To think you'd care that much... Thanks, Marina..."
The supplementary lesson flowed with record-breaking focus.
After class, Cloé dropped by.
"Oink-oinks~ Did you study hard?"
"Oink!"
"Great job today too~ Now head home, get some rest~ Let's work hard tomorrow! Bye!"
"Oink!!"
Ranch activities were over.
Kuma grabbed her bag with an energetic reply.
'What a fulfilling day...!'
So packed and rewarding.
It'd been ages since she felt like she'd really lived it up.
A grin crept across her face.
'-The fuck it's not?!! That's it? Where's the sex?! The orgy party?!!'
Remembering her true purpose late, Kuma bolted up and rushed to Cloé.
"Shitty brood sow Marina! I have a question!"
"Huh? What?"
"Uh... today... we're not doing 'that,' right...?"
"That?"
"Y'know... that thing... with the ranch owner... the feel-good thing..."
"Oh!"
Cloé clapped, delighted.
"You want free PT! Let's go! Marina's such an outstanding, good brood sow—the ranch owner'll love it!"
"?"
'PT's slang for sex...?'
Clueless, Kuma got dragged to Kim Taeyang's dorm.
*
"Hey, brood sow! You're on fire lately? Broke another record?!"
"Hmph. Just putting in extra effort for better milk."
"Such a diligent bitch!"
Clap!
Kim Taeyang and Seol Harin high-fived.
Cloé was doing endless squats beside them.
"Hey, mini brood sow. That low-weight high-rep can be tougher, y'know?"
"I love the harder stuff...♡ Lower body goooood♡"
The home gym reeked of sweat.
Kuma never imagined a setup like this in someone's house.
"Newbie brood sow! Your turn!"
"Shitty brood sow Marina! Here I go!"
"Hey hey! What the fuck are you doing?!! You nuts?!!"
"Yes...?"
"We're testing 1RM and you're moving plates by hand?! First time I've seen that!! Don't touch the plates on your turns from now on!!! Got it?!!! Huh?!!!"
'So sweet...!'
Kim Taeyang loaded the plates himself.
Kuma started her deadlifts.
Playing Marina, she used ridiculously light weight.
Pathetic for her normally.
But damn fun.
"Great form...!"
"Up you go!"
"Control your breathing!"
Thanks to her cheering friends.
"Hey hey! Newbie brood sow!! You really a beginner?!! Rock-solid core control, sexy form! That horny performance—what a flawless S+ grade gym bitch! A body that could pop out quintuplets no sweat!!! Hey!!!!"
"Hahaha! Thanks!!"
The senior brood sows praised Kuma after the ranch owner.
"Marina's impressive for a first-timer... Feels like her genes are on another level... She's still way below me, though..."
"Lol, Marina's form is way better than yours, Seol Harin. Honestly, Marina's a ecosystem-destroyer!"
"Hahaha! Too kind!!!"
Praise kept coming.
She was used to workout compliments.
But always from sweaty old dudes at the gym.
'Getting admired by peers for working out! I thought it was just a fantasy...!'
Heroes didn't value weights much.
Supers were strong without it.
Better spend time on swordsmanship or magic, they figured.
So Kuma had trained alone for ages.
Sure, kids sometimes watched and clapped...
"M-Me too, low weights make my form way better...!"
"Really? Why not go weightless? Taeyang recorded your early workouts—wanna show 'em to Marina?"
"N-No, not that!!"
'They're jealous of my workouts!'
First time meeting folks this serious about training!
'It's addictively fun!! This free PT really feels good!!!!'
Sweating with peers...!
Being their workout idol...!
The dream she'd chased forever was happening now...!
"Lemme push harder!"
"Hey hey, already hooked on adding weight? Heh. Turning gym rat too quick? Grr! +20kg...!!"
That's why.
Kuma forgot.
About the disguise stigma's time limit.
"Lift!"
"Up...!"
"Ooh! It's coming up!!"
As Kuma hit 200kg deadlift...
Fizzle-!
"Wh-What's that?!"
"Marina's glowing!"
Kuma's disguise started unraveling.
Her whole body flickered.
Flicker- Flicker-
Each flash faded Marina away.
Kuma's true form emerged instead.
"Kuma-senpai...?"
"Why'd Marina turn into Kuma-unnie...?"
'Fuck fuuuuuck fuuuuuck...!!!!!!!'
Realizing her screw-up too late.
She dropped the barbell roughly, about to bolt.
"Stop riiiiight theeeere─────────────────!!!!!!!!!!!"
Kim Taeyang roared and snatched Kuma's hand.
"Hey, rider brood sow!! You planning to run off like this?!!"
"Wh-What are you talking about?"
Kim Taeyang glared like a raging tiger.
He growled his warning.
"Break the flow here and the workout ends too!!! If you're running, finish the session first!!!!"
"......!!"
A guy who only cared about gains, even socked in the back of the head.
A man who didn't rat out a sneaking spy—instead worried about her muscle growth.
'This guy... so cool...!'
That was Kim Taeyang...!!!
"Get your head straight, Kuma!! We started, so test that 1RM!!! Quitting and running now? No face to meet your ancestors?!!!"
"Grr... Yeah...! You're right!! Please, Kim Taeyang!!!"
"Don't worry, lift!! I'll handle the plates!!!"
With that, Kuma ditched the mask and went all-out.
"Hey, Seol Harin. What'd you say earlier? Your form's better than Kuma-unnie's~? Heh."
"Th-That's 'cause I didn't know it was Kuma-senpai!"
"Exact words? 'Still way below me~?' That it? Pfft!!"
"Shut up and cheer!!"
"Yessum~ Kuma-unnie fighting!"
Bolstered by her friends' cheers.
Kuma shattered her 1RM record.
"Hey! Rider brood sow!! You did it?!!"
"Haha! Thanks to your cheering!!"
"Heh. True to a bitch born to lift. 1-ton jump squats soon?"
"Heh. Not quite yet."
"Hey! No joke! Wait here."
Kim Taeyang mixed protein.
Custom blend for body, style, fiber type.
"Grr! Protein shake time!! Suck it all down, not a drop left!!"
"Rawr...! This tastes insane! No chalkiness, perfect mix?!"
"Premium juice handpicked by me, duh? Finish and drop for core! I'll torture those muscles till you pass out!"
Workout, protein, finishing stretches and massage.
Fit for emperor-level gym sesh.
"Hey! Had fun—see ya!!"
"Ahh- Me too. Learned new moves from you. Come anytime!"
"Cool? Don't wanna intrude."
"Huh?!! What kinda braindead talk from this airhead sow!! We're sweat-bonded bros!!!"
"!"
Squish...♡
Her pecs twitched hard.
A friendship she'd never felt before!
A scorching moment she'd never forget!
"Thanks, Kim Taeyang! I'll be back!!"
Sharing joy multiplies it.
Kuma left the dorm warm-hearted.
Late night.
On the way back to the girls' dorm, Kuma remembered something.
'Oh right...! Ranch investigation!!'
Investigating the ranch was the goal.
Yet she'd forgotten and had a blast again.
'Workouts were too fun... Should I do it now...?'
"Ahem. Hey, Seol Harin. Cloé. Mind a question?"
"Ask away."
"Sure!"
"You're slaves to get your stolen constellations back, right?"
"?"
Seol Harin and Cloé just stared at each other.
They nodded like they'd forgotten too.
"Yeah, that was it."
"Yeah. Not wrong..."
"Not wrong? What's that mean?"
"Was at first. Now we want to be slaves."
"Brood sow life is the best..."
They declared slavery to reclaim constellations...
But now they didn't give a shit.
Brood sow life was too damn satisfying!
'No sexual exploitation like I suspected. What the hell happened...?'
Head spinning, Kuma sorted her thoughts.
1. Taeyang Ranch trains and tutors dropouts.
2. No sexual exploitation.
3. Brood sows are satisfied with life.
4. Kim Taeyang teaches free workouts and shares protein—an angel.
'Is this guy actually good...?'
Reflecting on the day.
Kuma couldn't recall a more packed, rewarding one lately.
And it wasn't just her.
Antisocial thug Rebel Nam.
Kim An-kyung, lost without Guidance Committee.
Park Woo-milk, treated like a useless hero.
Dozens of underachievers...
All thriving now.
Thanks to becoming Taeyang Ranch livestock.
'Taeyang Ranch is a salvation org for dropouts?!!!!'
Enlightened, Kuma smacked her forehead.
"Thanks for today! See ya tomorrow!"
"Senpai...?"
She bolted toward the main building.
'Gotta report to the chairwoman now! Don't crack down on the ranch—encourage and expand it!!'
Ark's purpose: nurture great heroes.
This ranch aligned perfectly.
'Make every student livestock!!!!'
Something like that.
