Recruited by the Revolution Circle
“Your face is awfully red. Are you feeling unwell by any chance?”
“Ah, n-no. Not at all?”
“Hmm… I see. Oh, have you perhaps seen a male student who looks like this?”
“N-not at all? I-I don’t know…?”
“Hmm…… I see. However, I can’t help but notice an extra pair of shoes under your feet. Who exactly are you hiding?”
Gasp. I’m fucked.
As expected. There was no way such a sloppy hiding spot could fool awakeners with sharp senses. Moreover, these women were promising talents among awakeners—elites who had entered the National Hunter Academy through the elite course.
“I’m just playing hide-and-seek with my friends.”
“Playing hide-and-seek when you’re over twenty?”
“Is there some law that says adults aren’t allowed to play hide-and-seek?”
“…Ha, how ridiculous. Just be honest. You’re hiding that male student here, aren’t you?”
“Am I? Got any proof?”
“Proof? The proof is right here if I lift this skirt…!”
“Stop!! You…! What year are you in? Does being in the Discipline Department give you the right to lift a senior’s skirt like that? What year, what class? Give me your name. What year are you? Wait, that white name tag… You’re a first-year who just enrolled, aren’t you? Then you’re not even an official Discipline Department member yet, right? If you cause trouble with me like this, do you really think you’ll be able to join the Discipline Department?”
The skirt that had been rising froze in mid-air. Fortunately, I still hadn’t been completely exposed. It seemed the pink-haired girl had stopped it using some kind of telekinesis-like ability.
“…Th-that’s. Urgh…. Even so, if you’re hiding that male student here…!”
Just as the pink-haired girl and the prospective Discipline Department member were about to launch into a heated argument, a radio transmission crackled from the walkie-talkie held by another prospective member.
— crackle. Two suspicious female students and one male student discovered at the northwest gate. Currently resisting search. Standoff in progress. Reinforcement required. Enemy is strong—we cannot win with our power alone. Over. crackle —
— crackle. Copy that. This is Ice Woman. All personnel except those guarding each gate are to move to the northwest gate. I repeat. This is Ice Woman. All units except those currently guarding the gates are to assemble at the northwest gate for reinforcement. crackle —
— crackle. This is dormitory detail. Departing shortly. Over. crackle —
— crackle. Hope you get here fast. Looks like we might lose them. Over. crackle —
— crackle. This is campus patrol team one. Departing immediately. Hold on just a little longer. crackle —
The radio chatter continued to grow increasingly urgent. In the middle of it all came a transmission looking for us. From the voice, I could tell it belonged to that bitch Ice Woman—the blue-haired, long-haired Discipline Department teacher with the codename.
— crackle. Campus patrol team three? Did you not receive the transmission? Respond. We have no report of your unit moving. crackle —
— crackle. Th-this is campus patrol team three. We’ve received the transmission. Acknowledged. Over. crackle —
— crackle. Then are you currently moving toward the northwest gate? crackle —
— crackle. Th-that is not the case. Over. crackle —
— crackle. Move immediately. What are you doing? Your team is closest to the northwest gate. Also, from now on you don’t need to end every sentence with “Over.” This is a two-way radio that functions like a phone. It’s different from the old ones where you had to press a button to speak. crackle— The audio quality is a bit poor, though. crackle —
— crackle. U-understood. Th-the thing is, we also… crackle —
— crackle. What? What are you saying? Explain clearly and precisely. crackle —
— crackle. We also have suspicious individuals here… crackle —
— crackle. Has support not arrived yet?! Hurry up and get here!! crackle —
— crackle. Campus patrol team three. Provide immediate support to the northwest gate. That is an order. Move to assist right now. crackle —
— crackle. U-understood. We will depart immediately. crackle —
The two Discipline Department girls had no choice but to head toward the northwest gate. Thanks to this heaven-sent opportunity, I managed to escape the crisis and felt my chest loosen.
As I let out a sigh of relief, the pink-haired girl lifted her skirt slightly, revealing me. She looked down with a bright, sweet smile.
Seeing her cute expression, I spoke with the feeling that I had survived.
“Whew~ That was lucky.”
“Fufufu. Listen here, delinquent junior. There is no such thing as luck in this world.”
“Really?”
“Of course. There are only inevitable outcomes and probabilities. We simply lump them together and call it ‘luck’ because we can’t perceive or calculate them all. Just like you.”
She spoke as if declaring that this was not luck at all. The way she said it made it sound like she had planned the whole thing….
…Huh? No way.
“Did you… deliberately cause that commotion at the northwest gate?”
“Oh… Your head isn’t completely empty after all.”
She patted my head as if praising me for a job well done. As I accepted the pat, I grew curious about her identity.
She deliberately created a disturbance at the northwest gate to get us out of trouble? Just who is she…?
“Nice to meet you. I am Kim Jina, leader of our academy’s greatest delinquent circle.”
“Delinquent circle?”
“That’s right. We are the Revolution Circle, working to dismantle the rotten old traditions and customs that the Hunter Academy insists on calling ‘heritage.’ However, those bitches in the Discipline Department and student council just call us a delinquent circle.”
“Ah… I-I see.”
“I heard the Discipline Department bitches were running around stinking of sex since the entrance ceremony, chasing someone. So we decided to join in and fuck with them… and it turned out they were chasing you.”
“…”
“By the way, why did you enroll through the Male Hunter Service Special Admission—that old disgusting custom of turning men into sex slaves? And on the very morning of the entrance ceremony, you supposedly followed the unspoken open rule and went completely public? At first I thought you were just a brainless perverted man-whore. I’ve heard there are occasional crazy male bitches obsessed with pussy and love juices, just like those female perverts in trench coats. But strangely enough, you’re resisting the Discipline Department. I assumed the moment they approached you’d happily spread your legs and offer up your cock… Yet you fought back even when dragged to the punishment room, ran away, and now you’re fleeing while being chased by the Discipline Department. …Don’t tell me you too are a warrior of revolution, filled with the spirit to smash those old customs head-on and dismantle them…?!”
What the hell is she talking about? She’s beating her own drum and dancing to her own tune. I’m just an ordinary guy with a dick who wanted to enjoy the world of a porn game.
“If my guess is correct… our Revolution Circle will protect and hide you until the very end. However, if you really are just a brainless male prostitute… then we’ll have to treat you accordingly. So, shall we hear your answer?”
“I-I…”
I wasn’t stupid enough to honestly confess the truth like an idiot.
“I-I… am exactly that! I too was a revolutionary warrior armed with pure ideals! Finally, someone who recognizes my true worth…!”
“As expected…! My eyes were not wrong…! Hahaha! Uahahaha!”
“Ehehehe. Ehehehehe!”
“Ahem. Hem. It’s good to laugh, but why are you laughing in such a servile and sinister way? It sounds exactly like a third-rate extra villain. We are not third-rate villains. We are a revolutionary group that puts great cause first. Like the famous female revolutionary hero Che Guevara-nes! Laugh boldly!”
“Huh? My laugh? Isn’t it just because I’m a guy?”
“No. It sounds more like a female third-rate villain’s laugh.”
Ah, is this because this is a gender-reversed world? So my laugh sounds like a female third-rate villain’s… Tsk! What’s wrong with my laugh!
“I-I see… I’ll try to fix it.”
“Then let’s get moving. It’s about time those Discipline Department bitches realize my diversion tactic. This way, revolutionary comrade.”
Following the pink-haired beauty’s guidance, I moved to a hidden underground facility within the academy. I was shocked that such a space existed inside the academy, and shocked again by how vast and deep it was.
“Sister! How could you bring an outsider into our secret base! No matter how much of a leader you are…!”
Deep inside the underground secret space. I had already gotten lost and had no idea where we were. Anyway, once we reached the deep underground area, there were numerous members of the so-called delinquent circle. Among them, a very beautiful woman with sky-blue hair glared at me with displeasure and protested.
Her sky-blue hair was similar to that blue color, so I instinctively disliked her too. This was all because of that blue-haired bitch from the Discipline Department. It seemed I would have a hard time getting along with anyone with blue-toned hair.
“Now now, this person is no longer an outsider. He is a revolutionary comrade, just like us.”
“But he looks so weak? If the Discipline Department or student council catches and tortures him, he’ll spill everything in less than an hour!”
Stupid bitch. I wouldn’t even last a second under torture. I’d spill everything in less than a second.
Some foreign soldier once said that only idiots who have never been tortured think they can endure it. I planned to confess every single piece of information before the torture even began. After all, the purpose of torture—unless the other party is a complete sadist—is to obtain information. If you tell them everything before the torture starts, there’s no reason to torture you. I’d even read somewhere that torture itself is a form of hard labor.
“Lee Jieun! Do not spout such insulting words at our revolutionary comrade! This person has thrown his own body into the fight to eradicate the evil practices of our academy. He is a revolutionary comrade who shares the same ideals and beliefs as us. Do you not understand his noble will? How could someone like him spill information in just an hour? He is someone who will inherit our oath to take our secrets to the grave.”
Fuck. That’s not true. I’m going to tell them everything. Why would I endure torture until I die? Are you crazy?
The so-called delinquent circle, self-proclaimed Revolution Circle, held a debate over my position and circumstances. Because they saw themselves as noble revolutionary warriors with lofty ideals and convictions, there was no room for compromise. I had to be fully persuaded. Otherwise, the result would be resistance and war.
Fortunately, the pink-haired leader’s leadership was excellent, and one by one they yielded to her persuasion. Even the sky-blue-haired beauty who resisted her logic until the end was roughly appeased by the statement that she would watch over me.
“It seems everyone has been convinced. Kim Dojin, revolutionary comrade. You are now one of us. As a fellow revolutionary warrior, I hope you show a process and result that will not bring shame.”
“Y-yes…”
“Then we’ll wrap this up here. Vice-leader Lee Jieun. I want you to personally show this comrade around our base. Talk with each other, clear up any misunderstandings that have built up.”
“Understood, leader comrade.”
Following the sky-blue-haired woman’s guidance, I received a tour of the secret base. As we walked through every corner of the base, she entered a secluded area, checked for any signs of people nearby, then approached me. And she grabbed me by the collar.
