Chapter Title: Hawaii
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Jang Go-jun arrived at the Hawaii airport accompanied by a staff member from the Association.
His expression was far from bright.
He’d gained precious little from the A-rank dungeon, 'Hero's Vortex.' The only thing he’d realized was his desperate need to bolster his physical durability, yet even that realization felt hollow since he hadn't been able to train properly due to his internal injuries.
Those injuries were still a problem. Despite receiving intensive treatment, they had flared up again midway through his stay. Once he was back in Korea, he knew he’d need either more focused care or several days of complete rest.
The reason his condition had worsened? It was entirely mental.
He’d come all the way to Hawaii and hadn't enjoyed a single second of it. The fact that Han A-young hadn't visited him in the hospital stung, and since the night before last, she’d barely even checked his messages. It was enough to spark all sorts of wild, dark imaginings.
What if Han A-young was spending time with Sung Yu-jin like lovers do? It was a grim delusion that he couldn't shake.
'...No, that doesn't make sense. It wasn't just A-young and Sung Yu-jin at the villa.'
Han Ha-rin had been there with them. Surely, his dark fantasies couldn't possibly be true. As he entered the airport terminal, he spotted the three of them waiting off to the side. But as Jang Go-jun began walking toward them, his legs suddenly froze in place.
"Hunter Jang Go-jun?"
"......"
Han A-young, Han Ha-rin, and Sung Yu-jin were chatting casually. A-young was laughing, lightly patting Sung Yu-jin’s shoulder, while Ha-rin had a subtle, knowing smirk on her face. The sisters’ eyes were fixed solely on Yu-jin.
Sung Yu-jin was playing around with them, touching their shoulders or arms in lighthearted fun. The sisters didn't seem to mind it at all.
They looked like a family... or perhaps, like lovers.
For a fleeting, painful moment, Jang Go-jun thought they matched perfectly, like a scene from a painting.
"Hunter Jang Go-jun! Is walking still that difficult for you? If it is, perhaps you should delay your return and get more treatment here in Hawaii. Your health must be the priority."
"...There’s no need for a fuss. I just stopped for a second because I had something on my mind."
Jang Go-jun forced himself to approach them.
"Go-jun! How are your injuries feeling?"
Starting with Han A-young, they all offered their formal well-wishes. Jang Go-jun forced a smile and assured them he was fine, and the mood lightened as they shifted to talking about their scuba diving trip.
"The underwater world was truly magical. I’d love to come back if I get the chance. Oh, Yu-jin, you were an amazing swimmer."
"A-young noona, you’re a great swimmer too. I thought you were a mermaid. Remember? You got startled by that huge fish. I did this back then..."
Sung Yu-jin started playing around again. He seemed to be reaching for her forearm, but his hand "slipped" and grabbed Han A-young’s breast instead. Even through her clothes, the voluptuous fullness was evident as it spilled between his fingers.
"Ahhng..."
Han A-young let out a coquettish moan before she could catch herself, her eyes widening in surprise.
Jang Go-jun gritted his teeth. Sung Yu-jin didn't pull away immediately—he actually kneaded her breast three times before finally letting go.
"Ah... Sorry, noona. I was aiming for your arm, but I slipped..."
"I-it's fine. It was an accident. Just be more careful next time."
Stunned, Jang Go-jun froze. He forgot to even intervene, just staring blankly at the two of them.
Han A-young was famous for her sweet, kind demeanor, but if someone crossed the line, she’d erupt like a volcano. He remembered a B-rank hunter who’d made a sexual remark to her in the guild; she’d slapped him so hard he lost five teeth before being kicked out of the country.
Yet now, she just brushed it off with a casual laugh. It was incomprehensible.
'...If that had been me.'
He’d be beaten at the very least. If he were unlucky, he’d lose a limb. Expulsion from the Suwol Guild would be a given... and staying in Korea would be nearly impossible. Han A-young always cut ties cleanly—there were never any second chances.
Jang Go-jun suddenly realized his place in the hierarchy all over again.
"Are you insane?"
Smack!
Han Ha-rin’s palm struck Sung Yu-jin’s back, making his body sway from the impact.
"It was an accident—you hit too hard!"
"Yeah, Ha-rin. It was a mistake. Hitting Yu-jin like that was a bit much."
"Ha... You still have to take the hit when it's due. And..."
Han Ha-rin clammed up, mindful of the stares from the people around them. She didn't buy for a second that it was a mistake. He’d clearly groped Han A-young under the guise of an accident, and A-young knew it too, yet she’d said nothing.
"Ah... My back is still stinging. This is so unfair."
"Unfair? You're going to get hit again if— Eek!?"
Smack!
Sung Yu-jin’s hand slapped Han Ha-rin’s butt. This time, he really had gone too far. Han A-young’s mouth fell open in shock, and Ha-rin’s expression hardened instantly. Sensing the sudden mana fluctuations from her, Yu-jin tried to flee, but he was immediately pinned by her gravity, unable to move a muscle.
Han Ha-rin strode over and slapped his cheek with everything she had.
Crack!
After taking the hit, Sung Yu-jin apologized, and the fiasco finally came to an end.
'...What the hell is this?'
Jang Go-jun was utterly baffled.
It was like watching a mishap in a TV sitcom. He felt like an outsider, watching a world he didn't belong to from afar. Alienation aside, Sung Yu-jin had clearly crossed the line. If this were ever leaked, he’d be socially ruined. Yet Han Ha-rin and Han A-young just carried on as if nothing had happened.
Jang Go-jun rubbed his stiff neck as a chill crawled up his spine.
They boarded the plane in First Class, a courtesy provided by the Korean government.
First Class was a luxury. The seats reclined into full beds, and the partitions provided enough privacy that one didn't need to worry about others while resting. Jang Go-jun, still feeling unwell, drifted off into a deep sleep almost immediately.
He woke up hours later, deep into the night. Needing to use the restroom, he got up quietly to avoid disturbing the other sleepers.
'...Is A-young awake?'
He noticed a faint light leaking from Han A-young’s seat.
'If she's up... maybe we can chat for a bit. I’m curious to hear what she gained from the Hero's Vortex...'
As he approached her seat, Jang Go-jun halted. He could hear sounds coming from inside.
The partition had an open top, so it didn't fully conceal the interior. He crept closer, moving as slowly as possible.
"Mmng, yeah..."
"Hahp..."
He heard wet, sucking sounds and a woman’s coquettish moans.
His heart pounding, Jang Go-jun stifled his presence and peered over the edge.
"......!!"
The sight was devastating. It was Han Ha-rin’s seat, but Sung Yu-jin was sitting in the center with Han Ha-rin beside him, locked in a deep kiss. And there, between Sung Yu-jin’s legs, Han A-young was kneeling. She’d unzipped his pants and was greedily sucking his cock, her head bobbing rhythmically. Her face looked more lewd than Jang Go-jun could have ever imagined.
"Noona, does it taste good?"
"Yeah... So good... Cum in my mouth."
Jang Go-jun backed away, his heart feeling like it was about to burst. His head ached, and his limbs wouldn't stop trembling.
Both sisters in a physical relationship with the same guy? It was a reality he couldn't process.
'...This has to be a dream. Just wake up. A-young would never...'
But he knew it wasn't a dream.
He wasn't so far gone that he couldn't tell the difference.
He just desperately didn't want to believe it.
'...Damn it. Why? Why do A-young and Ha-rin like that loser? There’s nothing he's better at than me...!'
Jang Go-jun squeezed his eyes shut, his mind reeling. He didn't sleep another wink until the plane touched down in Korea.
"Ahng. Yu-jin, fuck me. You did Ha-rin first yesterday... it’s my turn today. Got it?"
"Here? What if we get caught?"
"It’s fine. Go-jun is asleep, and there are no crew members around. I can hold back my moans."
"You just finished sucking me off. Move."
"Look at you. You've been kissing Yu-jin nonstop. I only yielded so you could have a turn—don't you know that?"
"...Fine. Just hurry up and move."
The sound of clothes being discarded followed. Soon, Han A-young’s low, stifled moans filled the air.
Jang Go-jun gritted his teeth, fighting to ignore his own erection with every ounce of his will.
After getting home yesterday, I lounged on the sofa and flipped on the TV.
'Just as I expected.'
The news was already reporting it. The Association had officially recognized Han A-young as an S-rank hunter.
Korea’s youngest S-rank hunter—that title was going to keep her busy for quite a while.
'I wonder how Jang Go-jun is going to react.'
He’d seen the truth about Han A-young and Han Ha-rin on the plane. But knowing changed absolutely nothing. There was nothing he could do.
Blackmail her? She’d never buckle to someone like him.
Expose it to the public? The government, the Association, and the masses were all obsessed with their new youngest S-rank. No one would believe his baseless claims—he’d be the one who ended up ruined.
'I hope he’s smart enough to know his place and back off.'
It irked me.
Knowing some guy was constantly eyeing my women, looking for an opening... it grated on my nerves.
'If he has any brains, he'll quit.'
I stopped scrolling through the news about A-young and picked up my smartphone.
Upon entering the [Academy Savior] world, I stepped out onto my dorm balcony. Since the academy was located in Gangwon Province, the night sky was dotted with stars, and the cool night breeze felt incredibly refreshing.
'Spirit Eye.'
My eyes took on a golden glow.
'Heavenly Sight.'
I activated Heavenly Sight as well, and my vision cleared. My X-ray vision scanned the academy buildings. There were barriers in place, but piercing through them with Spirit Eye and Heavenly Sight was child's play.
'There he is.'
A member of the academy staff was moving stealthily, his face masked. He was avoiding the CCTVs with the skill of a professional assassin.
'An assassin... so that event is finally happening.'
The original game progressed through playable characters, but you only unlocked specific personal event stories for the character you selected.
'Since this is reality, not all personal events can trigger at the same time or place. I was looking to see which ones would activate... and my eyes made it easy.'
In the early stages of the academy, the assassin-related personal event belonged to Ryu Hana, the top student.
The target was indeed Ryu Hana.
The reason was simple: she was the daughter and official heir of the head of the North Dia Clan, one of Korea's most powerful clans. Rival factions wanted to eliminate the genius before she could grow into a future threat.
'If I kill the assassin now, the event ends right here.'
My mind raced as I calculated the potential gains from letting the event play out.
'This is a perfect chance to get close to Ryu Hana. I can use this as leverage later...'
Triggering the event offered far more rewards.
I continued to watch the assassin. He was tampering with files, but he wasn't headed for the staff dorms. I knew exactly where he was going and why, so I finally looked away.
'Ryu Hana could be mine in three months if I focus... but the academy is full of women worth my time.'
Anticipating my future days as the master of the academy, I headed back inside. As I did, I felt a gaze from below. Looking down, I saw a black-haired girl in an academy uniform staring up at me—Choi Da-yeon, the rank 3 freshman.
I gave her a wave. She stared at me briefly before turning sharply and walking back into her dorm.
'Still as haughty as ever, Choi Da-yeon. She won't even return a simple greeting.'
Smacking my lips, I went into my room and grabbed my phone.
"Teacher, it's me. I'm coming over now—wash up and wait for me."
I was going to enjoy academy life to the fullest.
