Chapter Title: Rumors (6)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Ryu Family, ranked 5th among the world's great noble houses.
In this modern society, the Ryu Family—one that valued personal martial prowess as the sole measure of worth, in a refreshingly simplistic and barbaric way—their successor, Ryu Jia, had never once felt any sense of inadequacy since the day she was born and awakened.
That was because she had been born with the greatest talent in the Ryu Family's history.
The Ryu Family had climbed to 5th place purely through their clan's martial might, without ever resorting to business ventures or forging alliances with other families—methods typically used in modern society to elevate a house's power and prestige.
Born into such a Ryu Family with the most exceptional talent in its history, Ryu Jia had lived a life where anything she desired was hers for the taking.
Except for one thing: a man to teach her about sex.
※
"That's why I'm telling you, the newbie. Let's have sex."
"......What the hell is that nonsense?"
"I just explained it perfectly. Why make me repeat myself? It's annoying."
"No, forget annoying or whatever—that's not an explanation! 'I've lived a life where I could get anything I wanted. Except for a man to teach me about sex.' How is that even remotely sufficient?! Can't you see even Tsubaki's jaw drop in disbelief?"
Ryu Jia's explanation skills were so horrifically inept that even Fuyuno Tsubaki was left with her mouth hanging open.
It made sense, though—she'd never even tried to convince anyone of anything before.
I let out a small sigh and turned to Ryu Jia, who was pouting with her lower lip jutting out, grumbling something like, What's the harm in just doing it?
"Sigh. Look, Section Chief, that's not an explanation. It's just pointless TMI. Sure, asking for sex happens, but don't I at least deserve to know the reason?"
"I just told you. It's the one thing I've wanted since I was little but never got."
"No, I mean why come to me out of nowhere right now? There has to be some trigger."
"......Ah, oh, that. Easy question. I heard the rumors."
Rumors?
As I tilted my head, Ryu Jia pointed right at me and said,
"The rumors that you're a total slutty playboy."
"......Pardon? Wait, what?"
"I heard you love sex so much you even have some obscenely lewd tattoo on your lower abdomen."
"Heh."
Such rumors had spread? No, more importantly—Ryu Jia, who spent all her time holed up in the Volcanic Dragon clubroom snoring away, knew about them, but I didn't? That hit me like a hammer to the head, a dull thud echoing in my skull.
But thinking back, I'd been too busy keeping tabs on Yasuri Yaiba to make sure she wasn't plotting anything stupid lately. No time to catch wind of gossip.
Come to think of it, every time I entered the classroom, the Jincheon class cadets would whisper as they looked at me. I'd chalked it up to that fake confession fiasco, but if word of my lower-abdomen tattoo had gotten out too, it clearly wasn't just that.
Lost in thought about these rumors that had spread without my knowledge, I sensed something off, and Ryu Jia tilted her head at me.
"......What's with that reaction? Don't tell me it's all bullshit? Even the part about needing three women in bed just to be satisfied with your superhuman stamina?"
Needing three women to be satisfied. Eerily specific.
The slutty playboy bit was bullshit, but I had no reason to correct her.
Just letting those rumors circulate would tarnish my image, and by extension, lower the Yang Family's standing in real time—since they had me as their heir.
So instead, I felt a twisted gratitude for the gossip that had spread on its own, flashing Ryu Jia a bright smile as I replied,
"Nah, it's not bullshit. It's all true."
"Right?"
I nodded firmly, confirming it, and a bright smile lit up Ryu Jia's face.
She figured she'd come to the right place.
"Anyway, if you're really a slutty playboy, then having sex with me is no big deal, right? Sounds perfect. It's not just any girl—it's someone like me offering."
Ryu Jia's voice and expression brimmed with pride in herself as she propositioned me.
In a superhuman society where strength defined human worth—and especially in the strength-worshipping Ryu Family—she knew exactly how valuable she was.
Plus, setting aside her power, Ryu Jia was an incredibly attractive woman. As she put it, a girl like her offering sex was practically a reward.
Ryu Jia had a pretty face, big breasts, and a plump ass. If we're talking bedmates, yeah, you couldn't do much better.
But I couldn't just nod along lightly to her words.
For starters, my body was cursed and couldn't have sex right now.
The Vow of Impotence, forcibly imprinted on me by Yang Ga-jeong—an erectile dysfunction curse.
Until that curse was lifted, I'd be stuck living as a human condom for life.
But flat-out refusing with a 'No way! I don't want to! Stop!' would be tricky now. The slutty playboy rumors were out there, and I'd just confirmed them myself.
She'd obviously throw a fit if I said no without convincing her.
So, what to do?
A dilemma where I couldn't have sex... but also couldn't refuse.
How to wriggle out of this?
The answer lay in Ryu Jia's own words.
To confirm my hunch, I tossed her a question.
"Section Chief, do you even know what sex is?"
"What? What do you take me for?! Of course I do! I'm your senior! Older than you!"
"Then tell me. What is sex, according to you?"
"Hmph! It's that thing, y'know? When a guy and girl share a bed. Sometimes pregnancy happens. Yeah."
Just as I thought.
As expected, Ryu Jia's understanding of sex was superficial at best.
She probably didn't even know what "slutty playboy" really meant either.
If she did, she never would've thrown the term at a close junior so casually.
Her sexual knowledge was at an elementary school level—no, even worse.
I'd figured this out from her slip: "a man to teach her about sex."
Heirs from great noble houses grow up sheltered by their families, and the higher the house's rank, the more intense the protection.
Ryu Jia, born into the world-ranked 5th Ryu Family with top-tier talent, would've been shielded beyond belief.
From anything in the world that could harm her.
That included information, and the Ryu Family would've deemed sex-related knowledge harmful.
In superhuman society, preserving the seed was paramount, regardless of gender.
That's why Ryu Jia—who could have anything she wanted—had been denied just that one thing: a man to teach her about sex.
Anyway, now that I knew she truly had no clue what sex entailed, I could escape this dilemma.
"......I answered, didn't I?! Why're you quiet now? D-Did I get it wrong or something?!"
While I was deep in thought, her momentary silence made her second-guess her answer, and she stared at me anxiously, prodding for a reaction.
Just moments ago she'd been strutting about being the senior, and now she was fretting over a brief pause. So adorably clueless.
Yeah, stripping away that virgin cluelessness is the golden-tanned slutty playboy's duty. And hey, I might even turn this situation to my advantage.
I quickly hatched a plan in my head and smirked at Ryu Jia, lifting one corner of my mouth.
"Yep, wrong, Section Chief. That's not sex."
"R-Really? I got it wrong? Ugh......"
At my words, Ryu Jia flushed red in a rare show of embarrassment, nibbling her lower lip.
I stepped closer, gently placing a hand on her shoulder, and said,
"But it's fine. Not knowing isn't shameful. What is shameful is refusing to admit you don't know—or not even trying to learn. Don't worry, I'll teach you personally so you'll never have to feel embarrassed again."
"Huh? You'll teach me about sex? For real?"
Her head snapped up, eyes sparkling as she looked up at me and asked again.
The eager gleam in her eyes and voice was a tad overwhelming, but I kept my cool and replied smoothly.
"Yeah, I'll teach you what sex really is. I'll turn you from a clueless virgin section chief into a seasoned pro that no one can look down on."
"O-Oh!"
"When I'm teaching you about sex, call me Teacher. Got it, Section Chief Student?"
"Y-Yeah! Teacher!"
"Good."
And so began sex expert Yang Woo-bin's personalized sex lecture for Ryu Jia.
