Rift Studies class.
A professor with a head full of white hair shouted as he sent chalk dust flying across the blackboard.
"Rifts...! There are countless hypotheses, but none have clear evidence. Still, the most plausible theory is that they're fragments of shattered dimensions."
"Fragments of worlds that were destroyed for some reason. That's why rifts contain traces of numerous civilizations."
"There are traces of merfolk living in the deep sea, and even of elves, which you all seem to like."
Everyone's eyes sparkled. Elves were a famous sub-race known for their beauty. They were like beautiful humans, aside from their long ears.
"In the early days, relations with them weren't good. During major rift incidents, these other races appeared suddenly, and we treated them like monsters."
A look of confusion appeared on the cadets' faces.
"It sounds ridiculous now, right? They're our allies fighting monsters alongside us these days."
The professor displayed a photo of elves on the screen. Handsome men and stunning women.
"Living with other races like this isn't easy. Misunderstandings can flare up over the smallest things."
"Has anyone here actually seen elves?"
The old professor glanced at Helena, but she just sat there without responding. She wasn't even paying attention to the class; she was staring intently at one cadet.
'Who is that?'
It was that student named Choi Si-woo who'd recently changed his name.
"Choi Si-woo?"
A cadet who had been flipping through his book boredly looked up.
"Yes?"
"Have you ever seen an elf in person, Si-woo?"
"No."
"Hm... What image comes to mind when you think of them?"
"Well... pretty girls?"
"Haha... That's the image most people have."
The professor caught a momentary hardening of Helena's expression but dismissed it.
'Nah, no way... A grand duchess like her? What could she possibly lack?'
"Ahem... Well, they do look like that on the outside. But if you ever meet them in person, be careful. Their personalities aren't the nicest."
"You all look puzzled. Good."
The professor played a video. Gasps of admiration burst from the cadets' mouths.
"Whoa... She's pretty."
"Look how handsome he is."
It was a video of a group of ten stunning elf beauties walking along. They had long, model-like limbs and creamy skin that suited them perfectly.
The area around them looked especially radiant.
Especially the elf at the front—her beauty was unparalleled. In her light green dress, she looked like a fairy from a fairy tale.
"Pretty, right? This footage is from the Academy's first exchange with the elves."
It showed cadets holding placards and welcoming them as they passed through the academy's main gate with flower garlands.
But at some point, the elves' faces began to stiffen. The moment a representative cadet tried to drape a garland around the elf's neck...
Slap!!
The elf receiving the garland suddenly struck the cadet across the cheek.
The startled cadet started getting angry, and the atmosphere turned hostile.
The video stopped.
"What do you think? Do you know why she slapped him?"
One cadet spoke up.
"Because of the garland? Like, cut flowers as a gift?"
"Haha. Elves do love plants, but they wouldn't slap someone over a garland."
"But you're close to the right answer. When draping the garland around her neck, this part!"
The professor used a laser pointer to emphasize the elf's ear.
"Elves consider their ears a very important and meaningful body part. She slapped him just because it brushed against her ear."
"Of course, it's not impossible to understand... but they could have cleared up the misunderstanding with words. Striking someone out of nowhere like that—their personalities are inherently arrogant."
"This is why you must be cautious when dealing with other races. And..."
The professor, midway through his explanation, checked his wristwatch.
"Hm... Time's up already. Let's take a short break. We'll resume in 10 minutes."
Seeing the old professor leave the lecture hall, Si-woo turned his gaze.
He had sent a video to Kang Su-ho last night and was curious about the reaction.
'I can tell just by looking at his face.'
Kang Su-ho's face was haggard with exhaustion. Sitting there with a dazed expression, he clearly looked like he'd jerked off a few times to the video.
'Heh heh. Wonder what his reaction will be when he realizes what that video was... Huh?'
As he secretly watched the guy, Kang Su-ho glanced around and stood up from his seat.
Then he went to the farthest corner seat and pulled out his smartphone. It was obvious he was trying to watch something on the sly.
'Ha... that bastard.'
He was pondering how to exploit this when he noticed someone else watching Kang Su-ho.
Anne.
Despite her massive build, she approached like a ninja, silently. Standing on tiptoes to peek at Kang Su-ho's phone, her eyes lit up.
Then she pulled out her own smartphone.
'She's filming? Crazy.'
Kang Su-ho watched the old professor leave with a dazed expression.
He hadn't been able to focus during class at all.
The video sent last night kept popping into his mind. It had been sent with the sender's info restricted, so he had no idea who it was from.
A lewd video full of flesh tones.
The camera angle and quality were both terrible. Yet it contained something that made his heart race.
Thanks to that, he'd jerked off to it alone several times last night.
'Damn... Thinking about it makes me want to watch it again.'
Kang Su-ho glanced around. No one was watching him. He quietly moved to a corner.
'J-just a little peek.'
Finally, after checking his surroundings, he pulled out his smartphone.
The woman's body was covered in black mosaics, so almost nothing was visible. But because it was censored, it only fueled his curiosity more.
Imagining the hidden parts drew him right in.
Just the faint outline of her jawline told him she was a beauty. A video of such a woman begging a man with a massive cock—it was insanely stimulating.
'Damn... It's too big. How is that even possible?'
Moreover, jealousy surged at the sight of something incomparable to his own.
Finally, the virgin membrane of the begging woman was pierced. Seeing that, his erection wouldn't go down.
The red stain on the bedsheet outside the mosaic proved she was a virgin. He couldn't believe she'd filmed something like this for her first time.
'What kind of virgin...'
Even in the pain of deflowering, the way she bucked her hips was so lascivious.
He couldn't tear his eyes away from her obscene display.
'Gulp. Why is this so hot?'
His chest tickled. It felt like crossing the point of no return, but he couldn't stop.
Kang Su-ho dove into the video. His throat kept burning. He swallowed hard, focusing intently.
He didn't even notice his eyes turning bloodshot as he concentrated.
"Su-ho, what are you doing?"
"Gah!!"
He jumped in shock and hurriedly turned off the screen. When he looked up, the worst possible situation was unfolding.
"Hee hee!"
Anne was grinning weirdly while shoving her smartphone in his face. His pathetic state was being recorded entirely.
Kang Su-ho's eyes bulged.
"W-what the hell!!"
His mind went blank, refusing to process. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. He wanted to deny reality.
"Su-ho, watching that stuff here... Hee hee!"
Seeing Anne smirking snapped Kang Su-ho out of it. The smartphone. He had to snatch that phone recording his shame. Cleanup could come later.
'No way!'
Without thinking, he reached out.
Whoosh!
"Kyaaaaah!!!"
"Wha—?!"
Anne, as if prepared, stepped back and screamed.
"What was that?"
"What's going on?"
Cadets' gazes converged at the shrill scream. What they saw was Su-ho reaching out toward Anne as if grabbing for something.
Kang Su-ho froze in the sudden situation. His face grew paler by the second.
"It's Su-ho and Anne? But that hand position is kinda..."
Anne's ample chest was right in front of Kang Su-ho's hand.
"Su-ho, where are you touching?!"
"What?!"
It was a scene anyone would misunderstand. Her large build put the hand holding her smartphone dangerously close to her chest.
"I don't mind, but... groping here is a problem."
"No!!"
Kang Su-ho screamed like he was having a fit, but public opinion had already turned.
"Whoa... Su-ho's a real man."
"Hah...! Weird tastes. That pig— eek!"
A female cadet who'd always chased after Su-ho glared at the guy spouting nonsense, taking his side.
"Su-ho wouldn't do that! Su-ho, say something! What the hell is going on?!"
"Uh... Th-that... Um...!"
Kang Su-ho couldn't make excuses because of the smartphone in Anne's bosom. Even telling the truth would ruin his image.
In the end, he shut his mouth. Even the female cadet defending him started looking cold.
Anne linked arms with Kang Su-ho and whispered something, making his face drain of color.
He slumped weakly, and Anne sat beside him with a prim expression.
"Whoa... Are they dating or something?"
"Congrats, you two. But groping her chest here is a bit much, no?"
Si-woo, who had watched it all, could only marvel. He had no idea what Anne had said, but despair filled Kang Su-ho's face.
Anne's wild boar-like boldness was something to learn from.
'Impressive.'
He hadn't expected a half-joking video to lead to this. Satisfied, he nodded to himself.
'They suit each other well.'
