Chapter 462: Lewd Yokai After School[R-18] (69)
The time had finally come to begin my training.
Bi-yeon, Hong-yeon, and Ha-yeon followed me to the training grounds.
Hong-yeon and Ha-yeon had been practically dragged here against their will. Even now, they wore expressions that screamed they didn't want to be here.
I turned my head for one last look and gave an order to Sa-ryeon.
“Sa-ryeon, while I’m gone… you are the temporary master of Heukyo. And if any problems arise, find me at once.”
Sa-ryeon bowed her head, her long, beautiful snake tail coiling slightly.
“Yes, Master. You can count on me.”
I nodded and slowly stepped into the training grounds.
I heard the sound of the door closing behind me and took in the sight that unfolded before my eyes.
The entire place was embedded with Spirit Stones, all known to be expensive in the Otherworld. The floors and walls were made of high-grade materials that would be difficult to scratch, let alone damage, with any ordinary attack.
“So, are you really going to do secluded training? Honestly, I can’t imagine you just sitting still and training in here.”
I shrugged and smiled.
“That’s why I brought you and them in with me.”
Hong-yeon and Ha-yeon looked at me, their faces startled.
“When I get bored of training, I can blow off some steam once in a while. I should be able to last that way.”
Bi-yeon sighed and said.
“Geez, there’s probably no one else in the world who does secluded training like you.”
“I’m still going to train seriously. I just plan on making it a little more enjoyable.”
I turned my head toward Hong-yeon and Ha-yeon.
“If you two want to train, go ahead. If not, just watch.”
“Understood…”
“Yes…”
I turned away and walked straight to the center of the training grounds.
“Bi-yeon, let’s start right away.”
“Okay.”
I took a deep breath, slowly drawing up the energy within my body.
*
Training in the world of After School had no direct effect on my physical body in reality. However, it was effective if I returned to reality after training, retained the senses I had gained, and then trained again.
“Hoo…”
I slowly controlled my breathing and loosened up my body. Just then, I heard Bi-yeon’s voice from the side.
“You’re too hasty. Try to be a little more relaxed.”
I paused for a moment.
Was I… being hasty?
I thought I was taking my time, but it seemed I had become impatient without realizing it.
“Right, I get it. I’ll slow down a bit.”
Bi-yeon chuckled and lightly poked my forehead with her finger.
“You’re being quite obedient these days.”
“……”
I couldn’t bring myself to say it was because I was scared of her.
It had already been two weeks since I started training here. In that time, I had come to a bitter realization.
…Is this what an abused husband feels like?
For two whole weeks, I had sparred with Bi-yeon, and not once—not a single time—had I managed to even graze the hem of her clothes. It was, frankly, a little… no, quite shocking.
“You look a little down.”
Bi-yeon peered into my face and smiled.
“It’s nothing.”
“Could it be… you’re upset because you haven’t won even once?”
She hit the nail on the head.
“……”
Bi-yeon burst out laughing.
“Pfft, I knew it. It’s not something to be so proud about. I’m a master who reached the Profound Realm, you know.”
“Still… isn’t the gap between us a little too big?”
At my words, Bi-yeon crossed her arms and raised the corners of her mouth playfully.
“That’s because you’ve been coasting by with cheats until now. I, on the other hand, have honed my skills for a lifetime, you see?”
She had a point. Perhaps my mindset of trying to easily defeat her, a woman who had wielded a sword and trained her entire life, had been too shallow.
Even if I get Predation and become stronger with it… I don’t think I can win…
Bi-yeon stroked my head and smiled.
“Now, now, don’t be angry. Let’s try again.”
I nodded, raising my sword and getting into position again. Then, a question popped into my head.
“By the way, you never offered to teach me any sword techniques.”
“Hm? That’s because… the Moon Shadow Sky Sword Dance you use is a good technique. And it’s not good to learn too many different things.”
“Still, shouldn’t I learn something more?”
“Like I said last time, your problem among Mind, Qi, and Body is that you lack the ‘Body.’ And something I noticed while sparring with you this time is…”
Bi-yeon paused for a moment, then tapped my shoulder.
“You also lack an understanding of the sword. You think of it as just a weapon.”
“If it’s not a weapon, what is it?”
“A companion. True swordsmanship is only complete when you become one with your sword.”
Bi-yeon said, stroking her own sword.
“And your ability to read your opponent’s movements is also poor. You have no idea how I’m going to attack.”
“That’s…”
“It’s because you just charge forward, relying on your strength. You need to look several moves ahead.”
I sighed.
“I thought I was thinking while I fought.”
“To be honest, you move more instinctively than you think.”
“……Did I?”
“Yes. You just weren’t conscious of it.”
“Ha, so that’s why I was getting so thoroughly crushed every time.”
Bi-yeon couldn’t hide her amusement as she spoke.
“But if you keep realizing things like you are now, you might beat me one day. So work hard.”
After our short conversation, I immersed myself in training again under Bi-yeon’s guidance. As the days passed, one after another, I found myself feeling a sense of wonder at my own reflection, constantly holding a sword and moving my body.
At first, I had started training simply with the thought of getting stronger. I never imagined I would become this serious about it. In fact, since entering this place, I hadn’t laid a hand on Bi-yeon, let alone Hong-yeon or Ha-yeon.
Have I ever been like this before?
Thinking back, I hadn’t. Until now, I had only grown stronger through the power of my traits; I had never done what could be called proper training.
Seo Ryeo-hwa was my master, but in reality, I had only learned a sword technique from her for a short time. The rest of my strength came from sexual arts.
“Your concentration has improved.”
Bi-yeon noticed the change in me and smiled.
“You think so?”
“Yes. You’re incredibly focused right now.”
It was true. Normally, I would have been bored by now and doing something else, but right now, I wanted to keep swinging my sword.
“It’s strange. I’m not usually this persistent.”
“It’s probably because this is the first time you’ve ever truly trained properly.”
Bi-yeon said as she lowered her sword.
“Until now, you’ve just pushed through with raw power. But now you’re learning technique and sensation, so there’s a certain fun in learning something new.”
“I think you’re right.”
I could actually feel my skills improving little by little. At first, I couldn’t even touch Bi-yeon’s sword, but now I could occasionally graze the hem of her clothes.
“But I really didn’t think you’d last without having sex.”
Bi-yeon asked playfully.
“I’m surprised myself. Have I changed?”
“You’ve changed for the better. This side of you was always there.”
“This side?”
“A personality that digs incredibly deep once you get into something. You just never knew because you’ve only walked the easy path until now.”
Bi-yeon’s words made sense. I had certainly only used convenient methods up to this point.
“So, should we continue training like this?”
“Of course. Now that you’ve found the fun in it, there’s no reason to stop.”
I picked up my sword again. I still had a long way to go, but I liked the feeling of making gradual progress.
In a corner of the training grounds, I could see Hong-yeon and Ha-yeon rubbing their pussies together.
How strange.
The old me would have immediately run over and shoved my cock into them, but now, they just seemed like a passing background scene.
It was a sensation I was feeling for the first time.
The fact that I was achieving something with my own power, without relying on anyone else’s strength, didn’t feel bad at all.
*
Sa-ryeon thought of her master, who had been in secluded training for over six months now, and let out a long sigh amidst a pile of documents.
Tap, tap.
Her white fingers busily stamped the documents, and her red eyes narrowed slightly with fatigue.
…Master, it seems you still have no intention of coming out.
A sigh escaped her lips involuntarily.
It had been half a year since she last had her master’s semen in her womb. Not just her, but all of the master’s women here were in the same state.
“Haa… Master…”
It was then.
“M-My Lady Sa-ryeon! We have a huge problem!!!”
A soldier burst through the door, and Sa-ryeon frowned, her gaze turning cold.
“What is so important that you would enter like this, ignoring all procedures?”
“I will gladly accept punishment for ignoring procedure! However, you must see this!”
The soldier handed her a newspaper.
[The Rat Bastard Daily!]
[News on the recently rising Heukyo City! Jin Seo-yun, who rules the city, has broken the Black Dragon’s seal and is illegally occupying the city formerly known as Cheong-un City…]
Sa-ryeon’s gaze grew sharper. The more she read, the deeper the furrow in her brow became.
[And the former fugitive Kim Hyun-woo, who has become a disciple of Lord Hyun-mu, is no longer a wanted man but is raising his voice as a proud yokai. He is targeting the ruler of Heukyo City, gathering people to his cause by claiming he must be eliminated, and is steadily gaining the sympathy and support of those who fear the Black Dragon’s power.]
The tips of Sa-ryeon’s fingers, holding the newspaper, trembled.
“How dare… the insolent fools…”
“And… somehow… it seems the fact that His Majesty has entered secluded training has been leaked to the outside.”
“…What?”
Sa-ryeon’s expression hardened in an instant.
Who… let it slip?
From a corner of her heart, a powerful killing intent began to rise.
But at the same time, an undeniable anxiety crept down her neck.
But… Master hasn’t come out yet.
Her master had told her to call him anytime if a problem arose. But… bothering him now, when he was so immersed in his training, might only serve as a distraction.
First, I must inform the other ladies of this.
Her long, flexible lower body, covered in scales, slid across the floor as Sa-ryeon opened the office door and stepped out.

Led by Sa-ryeon, Baek Mi-ho, Han Chae-yeon, and Baek Yeo-ju sat with serious expressions, listening to Sa-ryeon’s story.
When the entire situation had been explained, the first to speak was Baek Yeo-ju.
“I… am against calling my son-in-law.”
Baek Yeo-ju said with her arms crossed.
“Nothing has happened yet. To call him while he’s in the middle of training could be a great hindrance to his progress.”
Han Chae-yeon immediately countered.
“I… feel the opposite. If we react too late, we don’t know what might happen. It could escalate into a situation we can’t handle.”
As their opinions clashed, a subtle tension filled the air. Baek Mi-ho, who had been quietly observing, suddenly stood up.
“Uh, um… I… my dear Seo-ha… where are you? Come play with mommy~”
Finding the situation too difficult, she deftly slipped out of the conversation, going off to find her daughter, who wasn’t even there.
The three women chuckled at Baek Mi-ho’s antics before refocusing on the matter at hand.
“Even without my son-in-law, you and I are here. I don’t think it will be a problem.”
At Baek Yeo-ju’s words, Han Chae-yeon wore a slightly troubled expression.
“Yeo-ju… it’s difficult for you to get involved.”
“That can’t be helped. I must protect the land of my granddaughter and son-in-law, even if it requires some sacrifice.”
“Sa-ryeon, what do you think?”
At Han Chae-yeon’s question, Sa-ryeon hesitated for a moment. Her snake tail nervously swept the floor.
“For me… the master’s command is absolute.”
Sa-ryeon began cautiously.
“He told me to find him anytime a problem arose. However…”
There was no conviction in her voice.
“But I’m not sure if calling him now is the right thing to do. What if his training is at a critical stage…?”
Baek Yeo-ju nodded.
“Yes, that’s the problem. We could inadvertently ruin his training.”
“But the fact that they’re gathering forces is a serious issue.”
Just then, Baek Yeo-ju stood up and said.
“Then let’s do this. We’ll try to handle it ourselves first, and if it gets truly dangerous, we’ll call him then.”
“Will… that be alright?”
Sa-ryeon asked, her voice laced with anxiety.
“It will be fine. I’m here, and so is Chae-yeon.”
Baek Yeo-ju spoke with confidence, but a hint of worry was visible in her eyes as well.
