God's Atlantis
I stepped into the practice room and froze in surprise.
Naked women were kneeling bare before Elena. What's more, their looks were far from ordinary—every last one of them was at least above average in beauty.
"What the hell happened while I was gone?"
The naked women's gazes turned toward me. Faces filled with shame, eyes brimming with tears. They were quietly sending me looks that begged for help.
"Producer. About that..."
Yuria stepped forward and explained the situation.
The women had been the existing trainees. They had come to the practice room first and thrown their weight around. In the process Mi-ryeong had been slapped across the face, and Elena had used her illusion magic to bring everything under control.
A naked dance from the trainees, huh... I'd love to see that myself. ...No, wait—Mi-ryeong got slapped?
I looked at Mi-ryeong. One of her cheeks was red. Instantly, rage surged up inside me.
"What the fuck. Which bitch hit her?"
"Producer. Are you going to take revenge for me? But it's fine. I already got my revenge."
Mi-ryeong looked at one particular woman. My gaze followed hers. It was the woman kneeling at the center of the trainees. Not only was a clear palm print stamped on her cheek, but her lip was split and bleeding. Seeing that cooled the fire of my anger somewhat.
I turned back to Mi-ryeong.
"You're not hurt too bad, right?"
"It hurts a little. If Producer gives it a kiss, it might heal right away...?"
Mi-ryeong offered her cheek to me.
Guess I've got no choice. One kiss it is.
Yuria approached Mi-ryeong's side.
"I happen to have an excellent potion on me. Mi-ryeong, I'll apply it myself."
"Huh? You were just standing there doing nothing and now suddenly? Ow! Yuria unnie... this potion stings so much?!"
"Things that are good for the body tend to sting. Endure it."
"Uuu... it hurts so bad...."
The potion's effect was certain. In less than ten seconds, Mi-ryeong's cheek had returned to normal. She wiped the sticky potion residue off with her finger.
I looked over the trainees still kneeling naked before Elena. Every single one of them had a great body. Lust welled up. I wanted to take them right then and there.
But I held back for now. At the moment I was the producer of Pobitz. Pobitz's business took priority over my lust.
Once I dominate District 6700, I can have as many trainees and celebrities as I want. For the sake of later, I'll hold back now.
First I reported the matter of the trainees to Lilith.
"Forget about what happened today. If this goes all the way, you're the only ones who lose. Got it? Ah, and since you do share some of the blame, take one spank on the ass each on your way out."
"...You said you're the Producer, right? You're saying you're going to hit our butts? This is sexual assault. You think you'll get away with this?!"
The trainee with the split lip glared at me as if she wanted to kill me. She was the one who'd slapped Mi-ryeong first, I heard... and sure enough, her attitude was off the charts.
"What the fuck you gonna do about it, you bitch! You're getting ten spanks. I'm trying to end this nicely and you're fucking acting up."
"Th-this...!"
The trainee trembled with rage. I gave Elena a look. Elena raised her smartphone and played the video of the trainees dancing naked. The trainees hung their heads low.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
After receiving one spank each on the ass, the trainees put on their clothes and fled the practice room as if running for their lives.
Having spanked those firm, bouncy asses, I turned to the last remaining trainee. The one who'd talked back bit her lip hard and stood against the wall as if she had no choice.
"Stick your ass out more."
"......"
Slap slap slap slap!
After ten spanks, her ass had turned red like a monkey's. I felt that alone wasn't enough. There wasn't the slightest sign of reflection from the trainee.
No choice, then.
I gave Elena a look. Elena, catching on, raised her smartphone and started filming the trainee.
I thrust my index, middle, and ring fingers into her pussy.
"Here we go. Virgin Destroyer Technique!"
Thrust!
Three fingers plunged deep into her pussy.
"Kyaaaaah!"
"Wh-what the hell! She wasn't a virgin?!"
I'd assumed she was a virgin since she was a trainee, but she was anything but. On top of that, her pussy was loose. I examined the trainee's pussy a bit more carefully. There were slight hemorrhoids around the anus, the color of her pussy was a little dark, and the hair was somewhat trimmed.
"A slut, huh. You disappoint me too much...."
I pulled my fingers out of the trainee's pussy and shook my head. The trainee hurriedly put on her clothes and left the practice room. She didn't forget to send us a chilling glare before she went.
"...Even after this... you think you'll be fine? I... I won't let you get away with this...!"
Elena let out a hollow laugh at the sight.
"She doesn't know her place by a long shot. Maybe I should've just turned her into an idiot...."
Ju Seo-hyeon came up beside me and spoke.
"Seong Yujin. If you leave that woman alone, something big is going to happen."
"Why do you think that?"
"...Just a feeling. That woman looks pretty troublesome."
"Well, I think so too. You guys focus on practice. That woman, Lilith and I will handle. But does anyone know her name?"
"......"
Everyone kept their mouths shut.
Not a single one of them knew the trainee's name.
Only after speaking with Representative Lilith did I learn that the woman's name was Legacy. Her real name was Min Hyo-ju. In other words, she was Korean. As a Korean trainee, Lilith Entertainment had spent a great deal of money to bring her over.
Legacy received a ten-day suspension.
Until Pobitz Debut
D-4
The members of Pobitz had more or less mastered the song and choreography. They themselves didn't seem satisfied, but from where I stood, they could take the stage right now without looking out of place. They were far more talented than ordinary people.
Yuria and Mi-ryeong are perfect at both dance and song. Surprisingly, Mi-ryeong has all sorts of talents.
Yuria went without saying. She had even revised parts of the song and choreography herself. The versions she revised were even better.
Mi-ryeong was good at everything. She wasn't outstandingly excellent at any one thing, but there was nothing she couldn't do.
Elena's dance skills were a bit lacking at first... but she's fine now. Ju Seo-hyeon has been practicing singing and is improving too.
Elena seemed to be using the cheat of her illusion magic to cover for her lacking dance skills. I didn't know the details, but apparently she could use illusions to memorize the moves or cover up mistakes. I didn't interfere much. As long as she didn't get caught, it was fine.
Ju Seo-hyeon was the hardworking type. Without any cheats, she had built up her lacking singing skills through pure effort alone. When it came to dance, there was nothing that needed fixing. The problem, if anything, was that her facial expression acting wasn't as good as the other members'.
Her expression acting is improving little by little, so it should be fine.
Today was the day we would shoot Pobitz's music video. The debut song was Date—a fresh, exciting track that appealed to purity and cuteness. The song itself wasn't difficult, but the version Yuria had arranged was so strangely addictive that it wouldn't leave your head.
I took the wheel of the van the company had provided. All the Pobitz members sat in the back seats. In the passenger seat sat the female manager the company had assigned us, Samara. She was a Hispanic woman. Not a beauty.
If she were a beauty, she would've debuted as a celebrity instead of becoming a manager.
I drove while checking the navigation.
"Um, Seong PD. About the music video director Jackson for this shoot...."
"I heard he's the best music video director in the industry. Isn't that right?"
"He is the best in the industry. But... how should I put it, he's a mood guy. He's famous for deliberately calling NG if something isn't to his liking and harassing the celebrities."
"So... you're saying I need to match his mood?"
"If you want to finish the work quickly, that would be better."
Samara took a white envelope out of her bag. It was a thick envelope with something substantial inside.
"Seong PD, please hand this to Director Jackson."
"A bribe?"
"Yes. It's money from the company. Word has been going around openly that Jackson has been struggling financially lately because of gambling."
"Buy his favor with money? Isn't that money a waste?"
"It is a bit of a waste. But if Pobitz succeeds, we can make this much money back easily. We don't want any noise surrounding Pobitz."
"Understood."
When the car stopped, I took the money she handed me and stuffed it into my pocket.
We arrived at the filming location.
It was a famous park. Had a rumor spread that Pobitz was coming? Crowds of people had gathered all around the park. Before getting out, I looked around and let out a sigh. There were far too many people. There were bodyguards, but with this many people, accidents could happen.
"Girls. Even if the fans are annoying, don't show that you're annoyed. Got it? You're idols! Especially you two, Elena and Ju Seo-hyeon!"
"We haven't even officially debuted yet, though?"
"We'll do what we have to, so don't worry about it."
Elena and Ju Seo-hyeon replied as if they found it bothersome.
Samara and I got out of the car first. We looked over the murmuring fans once, then opened the door.
Mi-ryeong got out first. With a smiling face, she waved her hands in every direction.
"Waaaah!"
"Mi-ryeong! So cute!"
"The tail! Can I touch the fox tail just once?!"
"Nope! Just look!"
Next, Yuria got out.
"Yuria unnie!!! Look this way!!"
"You're so pretty!"
"Unnie! Please go out with me!"
"I'm sorry. Dating is forbidden."
Next was Elena.
Despite my warning, Elena wore an arrogant expression as she walked slowly. She didn't even spare the fans a glance.
"Kyaaaak! Tia unnie, so cool and aloof!"
"Noona, I'm dying!!"
"Unnie! Please wave just once. Please!"
"...Hmph."
The fans liked Elena's aloofness even more. Last of all, Ju Seo-hyeon got out. She was stiff and frozen under the fans' gazes.
"Seohyeon unnie is so nervous!"
"Seohyeon is too cute!"
"Ju Seo-hyeon fighting!!"
"......"
Ju Seo-hyeon waved toward the fans with robotic expressions and movements. The members left the fans' cheers behind and headed for the container. They would change into their outfits inside the container.
While they were changing, I went to find Director Jackson. He was a man in his forties. His brown hair was greasy and matted, and his clothes were worn and looked cheap. He didn't look like the industry's best music video director.
After confirming that the staff's gazes had moved away, I quietly handed him the envelope.
"I'm Seong Yujin, the producer of Pobitz."
"Jackson."
Jackson took the money envelope naturally and grinned.
"Leave Pobitz's music video to me. I'll make you the best music video."
The first greeting ended in a warm atmosphere.
"Seong PD!"
Samara came looking for me with an urgent expression.
"Samara. What's the matter?"
"It's...."
She carefully opened her mouth while watching her surroundings.
"Yuria found a hidden camera that had been concealed in the dressing room."
"......"
I began to ponder how exactly I should kill Jackson.
