Episode 46: Don't force yourself to show them off when your breasts are small.
"He really never loses even once..."
Lee Hye-ri bit her lip as she looked at the text Kim Si-woo had sent.
She had sent him a photo taken after finishing her workout, trying to mess with him.
A full-body photo of herself drenched in sweat.
It was the kind of photo taken in front of a full-length mirror, just like the ones SNS influencers post.
The difference between their photos and hers? They used some editing and filters, but hers didn't.
That was how perfect her body was.
Lee Hye-ri took pride in her body, honed through training.
Even if not every day, on days when the training results were good, she would take photos like this one.
She had never shown them off to anyone.
It was just for her own satisfaction.
'No matter how perverted that teacher is, he'll be shocked when he sees my photo.'
So she sent it.
She didn't know why that thought had crossed her mind.
Maybe it was because of Kim Si-woo's behavior—telling her to strip out of nowhere.
Or maybe it was because he told her to send her homework results by text, but when she actually sent them, he never checked.
Or maybe it was because no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't surpass his unexpectedly good skills.
Or perhaps it was the desire to finally beat this teacher who always seemed to be playing above her.
As expected, a response came right after she sent it.
The '1' disappeared before she even finished typing her message.
"So Teacher is a man after all."
Her heart pounded with a strange sense of victory.
I won.
-You checked right away since I sent a photo, huh?
-Pervert.
Now you can't look down on me.
She felt better.
For the past few days, she felt like she was being pushed around by Kim Si-woo, but now she finally felt relieved.
He was probably shaking his fist in frustration, thinking he had been beaten.
"How satisfying. Hehe."
Now he'll regret it a bit, right?
He'll respect me a little more.
He won't tell me to strip out of nowhere like last time.
That's what she thought.
-Yeah. I admit I'm a pervert. So send me a photo every day from now on.
But Kim Si-woo was solid.
Like a fortress wall.
He sent a firm reply, as if he wouldn't easily give in.
It was the complete opposite of what Lee Hye-ri had expected.
"He's just like my brother in this regard."
That stubbornness like a wall, refusing to lose.
Lee Hye-ri, who took after her brother Lee Kang-san, was also quite stubborn.
But she thought her stubbornness was a bit different.
"Does he think I won't do it?"
She would send an even more explicit photo instead.
She would take a real one that would shock that stone statue of a man.
But then.
"Isn't that kind of photo too explicit...?"
No!
No way.
"I can't back down here."
Then she would lose.
The meaning behind the text Kim Si-woo had just sent was simple.
'I know what you're trying to do, so don't bother.'
'This kind of thing won't work on me.'
Maybe he was trying to show the composure of an adult, but he was treating her like a immature child, someone too weak to even bother dealing with directly.
That hurt Lee Hye-ri's pride.
"I will never lose."
Tomorrow, she would take a photo that would shock Kim Si-woo.
Lee Hye-ri resolved.
"Hoo, hoo."
Lee Hye-ri finished her training today as well.
Maybe because she had built up some stamina, she easily completed the hellish 25 sets of squats Kim Si-woo had assigned.
"As expected of me. This much is a piece of cake now."
It was the stamina training he had scared her about, but in less than two weeks, she was now doing it perfectly.
It was an absurd growth in stamina.
Although she was boasting about her own greatness, Lee Hye-ri also knew.
That this explosive growth was all thanks to Kim Si-woo.
Of course, she didn't know about the Growth Assist skill Kim Si-woo possessed.
But she could tell that his method of growth was working on her, and she could clearly feel it in her body.
"Definitely... Teacher is helpful, I suppose."
Ever since he became her private tutor, her growth had accelerated to an absurd degree.
Her stamina, which she thought would never increase, had broken through its limits and leaped to a new level.
Isn't a tanker's basic requirement supposed to be strong stamina?
At this rate, it seemed like she would soon be able to become a tanker.
'Do I really have a talent for being a tanker?'
Kim Si-woo's words about her having the qualities of a tanker came to mind.
-You have potential more suited for a tanker than a dealer.
-An evasion tanker. One who dodges enemy attacks as much as possible, forces in damage, and draws aggro to herself.
He even said she wouldn't be an ordinary tanker.
But unlike others who told her to become a dealer.
He was the only one who told her—called a Supernova dealer who would lead Korea in the future—that she was more suited to be a tanker than a dealer.
Thump thump.
She was used to praise as a dealer, but receiving praise as a tanker for the first time made her heart pound for no reason.
Originally, praise from the only person who supports your dream gets deeply ingrained in your mind and stays in your memory for a long time.
It wasn't intentional on Kim Si-woo's part, but each of his small praises was gradually coloring Lee Hye-ri.
"He said I need to master this to become a proper evasion tanker who can stand on the front line."
The Sword Saint's 'Thousand Flow Sword Technique'.
She had no idea how this teacher even had the Sword Saint's sword technique manual.
-This is for you. Make sure you master it.
Because he said if she mastered it, she could become a complete tanker.
"That teacher is annoying, but he doesn't say things that are wrong."
Of course, today she also failed to master the technique.
She tried to twist away from the practice robot's attacks until her arms were trembling, but she never succeeded once.
"I think I still need more time."
After sitting on the floor and recovering some stamina, she stood in front of the full-length mirror.
Him acknowledging her was one thing, but this was another.
"I will never lose. Who's afraid of who?"
Without fail!
I have to see Kim Si-woo flustered and unable to do anything.
It was embarrassing and humiliating since it was her first time, but...
He's already seen my naked body anyway, so what does it matter?
Biting her lip, Lee Hye-ri picked up her phone.
Then, with her hand, she slightly lifted the bottom of her tank top.
The lower curve of her large breasts shyly peeked out.
Click!
-Photo sent.
"I thought that brat would back off if I spoke strongly and send me a text about the homework like usual."
So I thought I had scolded Lee Hye-ri enough with the calmest tone possible.
But this brat sent an even more explicit photo than the first one this time.
It was Lee Hye-ri in the same tank top and leggings as before.
A photo taken with a smartphone in front of a full-length mirror.
Everything was the same.
The only difference was.
"That's too explicit."
She had slightly lifted her tank top, exposing her underboob.
The so-called underboob fashion.
I never thought she would create that herself and send it.
-25 sets completed today as well. Still haven't mastered the Thousand Flow Sword Technique.
-I took a photo and sent it like you said. Is this what you wanted?
-Pervert teacher.
She didn't seem like an experienced woman.
Could it be.
"Is she deliberately sending this to beat me?"
This was a kind of protest.
A protest to seize the momentum and make the lessons go the way she wanted.
"How dare you mock your teacher."
With no fear.
I figured I'd have to tighten the discipline more than usual in the next lesson.
I needed to push her so hard she wouldn't have any other thoughts.
Once she gets properly bitten, she'll come to her senses.
Ah, so this teacher bites when you touch him.
I'll bite you properly.
So badly she won't even think of rebelling.
Thinking that, I sent a reply.
-If your chest is that small, don't try to force it out to seduce me.
-And if you haven't understood the doctrine of the Thousand Flow Sword Technique by tomorrow, there will be additional punishment.
-Aaaaghhthismthmthaaahmm!!!
A nonsensical reply came back.
I understood one thing.
She was absolutely furious.
-What do you mean I'm small?
-How
-can
-you
-say
-that
-without
-even
-knowing
-my
-size?
-I'm really
-big,
-you know?
-My size is...
I turned off the notification sound and closed my phone.
"I'm looking forward to the lesson."
She was a rich young lady who was surprisingly fun to tease.
After closing my phone, I turned on the TV.
It was a popular entertainment program these days.
<Mina Pocha>
A show where a female celebrity who had been rising since last year was the MC, inviting various guests for natural talk.
Her name was Han Mina, I think.
She was a celebrity with such a beautiful appearance that she seemed like she wasn't from this world, and her singing voice was also fantastically famous.
"She's blowing up lately."
But how should I put it...
Is it because of Yoo Ara and Lee Hye-ri that my standards have become too high?
Watching Mina Pocha quietly, I tilted my head.
"She doesn't seem that pretty..."
What's so pretty about her?
No, she was pretty.
Honestly, she wasn't ugly at all if she was a celebrity.
She's pretty, yes. Honestly, she is pretty.
But she didn't seem as incredibly pretty as I thought.
"Hmm, have my standards become too high?"
Maybe that was it.
This is serious.
At that moment, I was having a silly thought about whether I would end up not being able to date other women like this.
-Come to think of it, Miss Mina also attends the Academy, right? You said your grades are top-tier. Do you have any tips you could give me?
A question from another guest on the screen directed at Mina caught my ear.
She's an academy student too?
-I've been attending for two years, but I don't really have any tips. I became a hunter suddenly myself.
Two years.
So she's the same grade as Yoo Ara.
Of course, Yoo Ara who had repeated a year was now in her first year.
"But can an academy student be a celebrity?"
Maybe it's because we live in an era where hunters also become famous influencers or celebrities.
"Times have changed a lot."
When I was attending, academy students were absolutely not allowed to become celebrities.
There wasn't exactly a law against it.
But seniors and professors would give you severe side-eyes.
-Are you trying to get held back?
If your grades drop because of celebrity activities, you'll be held back immediately.
Of course, if you could maintain your grades while being a celebrity, it was fine, but because of the retention system, most people didn't try to become celebrities.
Even those who were originally celebrities would usually reduce their activities once school started and the curriculum got serious.
Because the title of academy graduate had a significant impact in the hunter world.
You could become a hunter-celebrity after graduation anyway.
"She must be confident in her grades."
I suddenly got curious.
How good must her grades be to not stop her celebrity activities like that?
-Ara, do you know Han Mina?
-Han Mina? Why are you suddenly asking about her?
-Just saw her on TV and they said she's an academy student. Students usually don't do a lot of celebrity activities.
-Ah, she probably doesn't care about that.
-Really?
-Her team members are always high-level, so she gets good grades relative to her actual skill.
Oho.
That was interesting.
Is her agency pushing her?
No, why would the students agree to such requests?
Especially academy students with top-tier skills.
For them, millions of won probably don't even look like money.
It couldn't be grades bought with money.
"Is it through using her face?"
I've heard the entertainment world is dark beneath the surface.
A dark image came to mind.
There must have been plenty of moths drawn to a beautiful woman.
I soon lost interest in her.
-But why? Why are you suddenly talking about Mina? Teacher, do you like celebrities? You probably shouldn't. You wouldn't hire her as a private tutor, would you? You might regret it. Her personality might not be good either. Don't be fooled by her flashy exterior. It might actually be better to find someone closer, you know? For example...
Yoo Ara's desperate texts in response to my mention of Mina were cute.
-Not interested.
Kids these days are fun to tease.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Han Mina, after exchanging greetings with the staff and other celebrities, entered her waiting room.
"Hoo... Today's work is finally over."
Han Mina let out a sigh of relief as she leaned back on the sofa in the waiting room.
It's so hard.
She wanted to stop now.
Being in front of people wasn't her style.
Quite the opposite.
Spending time alone, holed up at home.
That was Han Mina's hobby and specialty.
[Remaining Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes]
Not much time left.
"Manager-nim."
"Yes, Miss Mina."
"Let's go home now."
"But there's still a schedule..."
"Let's go. Home."
She picked up her phone and held it out to her manager, Kang Jung-hoon.
"Geot, stop talking and take me home quickly."
Kang Jung-hoon's eyes, staring at the phone, glazed over as he nodded.
"Under...stood."
[Using ability.]
[Duration decreases.]
[Remaining Duration: 55 minutes]
Ah, there's not much time left.
She canceled all the remaining schedules and went home.
"Good work today! Go on in."
"...Yes."
Han Mina hurried into the elevator.
[Remaining Duration: 2 minutes]
Covering her face with a mask, she hurried upstairs.
Ding-dong.
She urgently got out and opened the door.
[Remaining Duration: 1 minute]
Thud!
She closed the door and turned on the light.
In the mirror, she saw the glamorous Han Mina.
[You have used all your time.]
A message appeared saying she had used up all her ability.
"Haa."
She let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she managed to escape home in time.
"I, it was a close call."
Her body was trembling.
She couldn't even meet her own eyes in the mirror.
Her personality had completely changed, as if she had become a different person.
Where was the woman who was so confident in front of the camera just moments ago? In the mirror stood an extremely timid woman who could barely even face her own reflection.
The effect had worn off.
Her ability, which helped her—this shy and introverted girl—become the shining celebrity Han Mina.
"Hoo... Th, thank goodness. Hehehe. I, I worked hard today too."
Han Mina's atmosphere changed in an instant.
No one would know.
That the brilliantly shining celebrity Han Mina was a shy person who couldn't even speak properly to people without her ability.
No, she must never let anyone find out.
No one should know.
To protect this current life of hers...
Absolutely.
She had to keep this secret.
"I should get s, some good rest. L, lately my ability's duration feels too sh, short."
Trembling with anxiety, Han Mina looked at her status window.
After awakening, this ability made her into the beautiful celebrity Han Mina that people adored.
The ability that allowed her to be both an academy student and a celebrity.
The skill that changed her life.
