Chapter Title: Storm of the Golden Sun (1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Today's atmosphere in the 2nd-year Jincheon Class was markedly different from the days before.
Usually, everyone was tense, gradually succumbing to the pressure of the mood, but today, no one was on edge. They could simply relax and go about their business.
The reason the 2nd-year Jincheon Class cadets could feel so at ease, unlike usual, was obvious: the source of their tension had vanished.
"Hm-hm, hm-hm-hm~"
The low-pressure aura of Ryu Jia herself.
Until now, Ryu Jia, the strongest cadet in all of Dabcheon, had dictated the mood in the 2nd-year Jincheon Class.
She didn't deliberately create a bad vibe by acting like some immature thug, picking fights, or bullying anyone.
It was just that if she wanted to sleep and things got noisy, she'd furrow her brow at the source of the sound or mutter something like, "Hey, I'm going to sleep."
That was the extent of it.
But because it was Ryu Jia saying it, her fellow Jincheon Class cadets had no choice but to watch her mood carefully.
She was a born powerhouse, someone who could bend the entire room to her whims with her mere mood.
"Hm-hm-hm~ Hm-hm~"
Whether at night, morning, noon, or after classes, Ryu Jia was always sprawled out asleep, perpetually in a sleepy, low-pressure state. As a result, the 2nd-year Jincheon cadets were constantly on edge, careful not to disturb her slumber.
Naturally, this made the atmosphere gloomy, and some cadets found sharing space with her so burdensome that they voluntarily demoted themselves to the regular classes.
But that was only until yesterday.
Today's Ryu Jia was showing a completely different side from before.
"Hm-hm-hm-hm~ Hm-hm~"
Right in the post-lunch sweet spot when drowsiness typically hits, she was sitting upright in her classroom chair, humming cheerfully with a mood brighter than ever.
Normally, she'd flop face-down on her desk the moment she returned from lunch, but here she was, wide awake and even humming. The 2nd-year Jincheon cadets felt their tension melt away.
Just knowing they didn't have to worry about disturbing her sleep lightened their shoulders more than usual.
"Hm-hm-hm-hm~ Hm-hm-hm-hm~"
Ryu Jia, who hadn't once face-planted on her desk to snooze all day—a new record—was radiating an entirely different aura from her usual one.
Even the subconscious "stay away, I'm annoyed" powerhouse vibe she always exuded had vanished. So, her classmate and the 2nd-year Jincheon Class vice-captain, Ma Yun-a, mustered her courage and approached her.
"Um, Jia?"
"Hm-hm... Yeah? What is it?"
The moment Ma Yun-a called her name, Ryu Jia stopped humming, and her piercing red eyes turned toward her. Ma Yun-a's heart skipped a beat.
Did I mess up by saying something? Regret flooded in, but she steeled herself.
I'm the vice-captain. Second place. Basically the class rep for second-years. No one else can do this.
She gathered her resolve and continued.
"You seem really happy today. And you're not sleeping. Did something good happen?"
Ryu Jia's sleepiness was the main culprit poisoning the class mood and intimidating the cadets.
As the de facto second-year rep, Ma Yun-a had stepped up to address it head-on.
If I can find out what made her skip sleep, we can all stop fretting over whether we'll disturb her. This is my duty...!
A sense of justice grants courage and action. Embracing that noble cause, Ma Yun-a boldly questioned the overwhelming powerhouse she could barely even look up at.
At the question, Ryu Jia's lips curled into a grin, as if the mere thought thrilled her.
"Something good? Oh yeah. Want me to tell you what?"
"Y-Yeah? I'd love that! What is it? What good thing happened?"
Ryu Jia's expression screamed she was dying to brag. Ma Yun-a inwardly cheered at the chance to get the info and pressed on.
Ryu Jia cleared her throat dramatically.
"Ahem. Don't freak out when you hear this. A newbie just joined our Blast Dragon club."
"A newbie in Blast Dragon? I think I've heard something... Impressive. You have to withstand your single strike to join, right?"
"Yeah, exactly. That guy's the real deal. Not only did he tank my strike, he perfectly parried it. I got sent flying back by his parry."
"W-Wait, 'guy' means a dude? You got sent flying by a guy? Does that even make sense?"
"It doesn't. But that parry? It's not even the tip of the iceberg of what that guy's capable of. The real impressive part is..."
The more Ryu Jia gushed about the new Blast Dragon recruit, the faster Ma Yun-a's heart pounded.
Ryu Jia's expression while talking about him was anything but ordinary.
No way... Has spring finally come for Ryu Jia, the worst and strongest cadet in Dabcheon history?
As the lady of a prestigious house herself, Ma Yun-a was a total virgin with zero guy experience. Stories reeking of romance drove her wild.
"He's amazing at cooking, gives massages that'd drive anyone insane... Basically top-tier husband material. Heh."
"Sounds great... You must be thrilled to have a junior like that!"
"But get this. The most amazing thing about him isn't cooking or massages."
"There's something even more impressive...?"
Ma Yun-a was fully hooked on Ryu Jia's newbie bragging by now.
Ryu Jia's words brimmed with genuine sincerity.
She never cared about the world, always just crashing out asleep. And now she's a praise machine? How incredible must this guy be... And what's the most incredible part...!
Moved by Ryu Jia's pure, heartfelt admiration, Ma Yun-a eagerly awaited more.
"He's insanely good at sex. That guy's a total sex master."
"...Huh?"
But at Ryu Jia's next words, Ma Yun-a's mind went blank, like she'd been hammered in the head.
The cute lovey-dovey bragging had suddenly jumped straight to adult territory. She had no clue how to react.
"Yesterday was my first time, and I had no idea sex felt that good."
"..."
Ryu Jia didn't care if Ma Yun-a was stunned. She just kept going.
"I never knew blowjobs tasted that good. Just thinking about it gets me going. Anyway, after doing it all afternoon yesterday, I realized how narrow my world had been."
Her eyes dreamy with the glow of newfound adulthood, Ryu Jia's tale had drawn the ears of every 2nd-year Jincheon cadet in the room.
"Seriously, not knowing about sex until now is embarrassing. It was that good. Planning another round with the newbie after class today. Just imagining it has me too hyped to sleep. Heh."
"Uh, uh-huh. I see."
Hearing Ryu Jia planned to do it again snapped Ma Yun-a out of her daze.
As a lady of the modern superhuman society and heir to the world-ranked 5th Liu Family, Ryu Jia giving her virginity to someone wasn't something to brush off.
Already driven by duty and responsibility, Ma Yun-a swallowed hard and asked carefully, seriously.
"So... what's the name of this super-talented newbie?"
"Huh? His name? Yang Woo-bin."
※
The rumor that Yang Woo-bin—the self-proclaimed sleazy blond tanned thug—had utterly devoured Ryu Jia and turned her from virgin to not spread like wildfire across all of Dabcheon.
"..."
Naturally, it reached the ears of Yang Woo-bin's lackey, Fuyuno Tsubaki.
She'd witnessed Ryu Jia demanding sex lessons from him just the day before, so the news hit even harder.
...Why am I shocked? Everything Woo-bin does has a reason, and I have no right to complain.
Fuyuno Tsubaki was shocked that she was shocked by the rumor.
She acknowledged her crush on Yang Woo-bin, but she valued his choices more than her feelings.
Even if he chose someone else, she'd be content as his sidekick by his side.
"..."
Grip.
For some reason, at the rumor sweeping Dabcheon, Fuyuno Tsubaki gritted her teeth and clenched her fist.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
"That damn crazy Yang Woo-bin... I take my eyes off him for one second, and he pulls this massive scandal... I'm not letting him off! Huh?!"
"..."
As Fuyuno Tsubaki leaned against the hallway wall, trying to sort her swirling emotions, she locked eyes with Jin Se-jeong storming around the corner in a fury.
"Hey! Where's Yang Woo-bin!"
