Episode 5: You really are a pervert.
Episode 5: You really are a pervert.
The pervert—no, now referring to that man as the private tutor—said he would teach mana circulation.
At the academy, there was one condition required to learn mana circulation:
It was the academy's tradition never to teach mana circulation to those who couldn't pass that 1st exam.
The instructors explained the reason like this:
-Those without the qualifications who perform mana circulation will strain their bodies. In severe cases, they may become unable to use mana for the rest of their lives and end up ruined.
It was a simple reason.
"But is it really okay?"
He was the pervert who had her remove all her clothes except her underwear, but Yoo Ara's tone remained polite.
Because in this situation, she had no confidence she could beat this man.
"What is?"
"The instructors said that if you use mana circulation wrong, your body can get ruined..."
"That's all bullshit."
"Excuse me?"
"A condition to make you guys more desperate for the 1st exam."
"There's no way."
The instructors wouldn't lie about something like that.
"I don't want to ruin someone who will become my student in the future either. Even if something happens, I can cover it all, so don't worry."
"Really?"
"Think of it as advanced study. Tutors do this kind of thing a lot, don't they?"
"B-But still."
She was anxious.
An inexplicable anxiety tormented her.
"Wealthy awakened people all do this. So no more talk, close your eyes first. Focus."
"Yes."
In the end, she had no choice but to follow his words.
Yoo Ara closed her eyes.
Sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed, she heard a rustling sound from behind.
No way.
It couldn't be.
Suddenly taking off his pants? Something like that...
Jjeolleugeureok.
The sound of a belt.
A chill ran down her spine.
She shouldn't have listened to the pervert.
She should have just run away somehow.
Ah, Mom. I'm sorry. I guess I'm going to be defiled here.
Now there was no way to escape.
Even if she tried to run away with everything off except her underwear, she'd only be mistaken for a perverted woman appearing in the neighborhood.
Tears came out.
It was sad enough being expelled, but now she had to suffer this horrible thing too.
Her pride was hurt.
"Hiccup."
"Why are you crying lying down? Focus. Don't make a mistake and mess up."
"It's my f-first time, so please go easy."
"Don't worry. I'm used to this kind of thing."
And then the man's touch reached her back.
"Eeek!"
"Focus. Don't pay attention to useless sensations."
At the same time, a cold, icy energy entered through Yoo Ara's spine.
The unidentified cold energies started from Yoo Ara's back and began flowing through her entire body.
That force stimulated every single cell of Yoo Ara's body.
"Haa-eu-eut!"
A tingling sensation stimulated her spine.
Yoo Ara unknowingly straightened her back and let out a moan.
"Focus and feel this sensation. Feel the flow of mana passing through your whole body."
This is mana?
It was completely different from what she knew.
Originally, mana was supposed to be the force felt from the surroundings when you shouted an active skill, wasn't it?
Back then, it was definitely warm and soft.
Like a bread just taken out of the oven.
But the mana she felt now was like ice just taken out of the freezer touching her skin.
"Did you think someone else's mana would be the same as yours? I'm using my mana to open the mana pathways in your body, so keep feeling it repeatedly."
"Yes, yes!"
Yoo Ara answered without realizing it.
Because the moment she heard his voice, she felt like she had to do that.
With her eyes tightly shut, she focused on the flow of mana that the pervert—no, the tutor—was releasing.
"Haa-eu-eut."
Every time his mana flowed through her body, her mood became strange.
The mana that was cold and unpleasant at first gradually began to feel good.
It was a tingling sensation, as if all the senses in her body were waking up.
Like a body that had been hibernating was waking up?
As the mana flowed, her body became ticklish and cool.
With her chest feeling wide open, Yoo Ara unconsciously let out a sigh of relief.
Between those sighs.
"Ha-ang."
She was completely unaware that it was mixed with a moan.
The teacher's mana that had been circulating through her body now began to focus on her head.
Pabababat!
Her head felt cool.
Like a blocked congestion bursting, various places felt refreshed.
It was a sensation she had never felt before.
Was this what you felt when doing mana circulation?
As someone with no experience, she couldn't know.
"Feel it slowly. You need to properly feel this sensation to be able to do mana circulation on your own in the future."
Hwaaat!
"Hah-heu-eut!"
Yoo Ara's waist trembled.
She couldn't hold on any longer.
No matter how refreshing the sensation, this was as far as she could endure.
"W-wait a moment. M-my body feels strange! I-I..."
Her waist lifted and her head tilted back.
This could no longer be called sitting cross-legged.
"Hold on a little longer. There's still more."
"Ugh, uugh-eut! Haa-eu-eung!!"
Moans flowed out uncontrollably.
The sensation of mana awakening every nerve in her body was the kind that was hard for a beginner to endure.
"Haa-eu-eut!!!"
All the muscles in her body contracted rapidly, then relaxed in an instant.
Yoo Ara felt it.
The strength in her lower body released, and she was leaking warm liquid.
"...Hmm, this is unexpected."
The teacher's voice sounded flustered.
It seemed he hadn't anticipated this situation either.
'The pervert was right.'
Yoo Ara held back her tears and suppressed her anger.
She hadn't expected to pee herself.
Judging by the woman's scent that stung the nose, it wasn't just her muscles relaxing.
While doing mana circulation, in the process of opening all the blood vessels and mana pathways throughout her body, she must have felt more than necessary.
'Strange.'
That shouldn't be possible.
I know it well myself.
How painful this damn mana circulation is.
The pain felt when opening closed mana pathways is the kind of pain that ordinary people find hard to endure.
This is why only those who pass the 1st exam receive it.
Because they had to get used to the pain through the exam.
'I thought the power of Super Recovery would be enough to handle it.'
So I attempted mana circulation with a bit of lies mixed in.
It was painful for me too, but I endured it.
Even back then, my stats were much lower than Yoo Ara's.
It was painful, but the recovery speed was fast, so I endured.
It doesn't seem like she peed because of the pain.
'I don't know.'
Does it apply differently to women?
This was my first time using my nurturing skill on someone else, so there were things I didn't know.
"First, let's clean up."
I quickly wiped her butt with a towel.
"I-I'll do this part."
"Then wipe the floor."
I cleaned up the scene of the incident she caused.
After everything was cleaned, I sent her into the bathroom.
She needed to wash her body first.
Meanwhile, I checked the nurturing skills I had cast on Yoo Ara's body.
Since I had done mana circulation on her, the effects should now appear properly.
My abilities also manifested after mana circulation.
[Yoo Ara]
-Strength: D
-Mana: C - Mana Overflow: Adaptability S
-Intelligence: B
-Stamina: E - Super Recovery: Adaptability S
-Agility: E - Fast Stride: Adaptability S
-Ability: Psychokinesis (B)
I confirmed that all three skills I had placed on her had activated.
"But what is Adaptability?"
It was an effect I'd never seen before.
Since this was my first time using this skill on someone else, there was no way I'd seen it.
As if waiting, an explanation followed.
[Adaptability: The grade varies according to the target's aptitude, and the higher the grade, the faster the acceptance speed.]
[S Special: If the target with S-rank adaptability increases their abilities, the caster's corresponding ability also increases.]
My ability increases?
My stats had all stopped growing at A.
Even with the impressive title of valedictorian, the reason I wasn't scouted elsewhere and remained stagnant.
'Those bastards also pinned a strange false accusation on me...'
But it was because my stats wouldn't grow above A.
I was a hunter with surprisingly many flaws.
But if I become S, it's different.
S-rank stats alone grant you treatment just by existing.
'To the point where even Daesung can't touch me.'
Having an unidentified stat like Charisma at SS is hard to get treated.
Rather, it's a target for elimination.
In the hunter world, which has established its own order over 15 years, unknown powers are the subject of caution.
Originally, I simply intended to grow Yoo Ara and use her as a stepping stone for my revenge.
But if I raise her, I grow.
I can grow further here?
I wish I had known a little earlier.
Now I think I understand why Yoo Ara's potential ability was marked as S.
It's because her adaptability to my power is high.
If that's the case...
'Then shouldn't I just cast the remaining 3 skills too?'
The 3 growth skills I hadn't placed on her.
[Strength Growth], [Sharpness], [Heart of the Monarch].
Support skills that boost Strength, Intelligence, and Charisma.
I should cast these together too.
At that moment, the bathroom door opened.
Steam rose in wisps, and Yoo Ara came out wearing a white t-shirt and loose pants.
Her skin, looking freshly washed, was particularly noticeable.
"..."
Silence.
She must be embarrassed.
I understand that feeling.
So I didn't say anything more.
Instead, I looked at her closely.
[Yoo Ara: Conquest Rate - 16%]
Because of the newly appeared system window.
[After 100% conquest, if you have sex with her, you can use Yoo Ara's active skill - Psychokinesis (B) 5 times.]
"Active...?"
If I conquer her 100% and fuck her, I can use her active skill?
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. It's nothing."
This was no longer simply about money.
Revenge.
I had intended to grow this woman and use her for revenge against Daesung.
It seems I've hit the jackpot.
Jackpot.
If I utilize this woman well.
I'll be one step—no, ten steps closer to my revenge against Daesung.
"Mana circulation had an effect, right?"
"Excuse me?"
"You must have felt your body becoming lighter. You can't deny that."
Silence.
She knew it too.
Even though there was an embarrassing incident, her body was now circulating my mana round and round.
I worked so hard to make it like that.
It will probably remain in her body for a few days and teach her.
How to use mana.
"The next lesson is in three days, right? Until then, you have one homework assignment. Properly feel the flow of mana you're experiencing now and be able to perform it on your own."
"You want me to do it in three days? Even at the academy, it's a curriculum that takes a month."
"Do you think you can pass like everyone else?"
She shut her mouth.
"Do as I say. The exam is a week away. If you get another lesson in three days, you'll only have four days left until the exam, so we'll have to work harder."
"I-I understand."
I placed my hand on Yoo Ara's shoulder.
And cast the remaining 3 nurturing skills on her.
-Strength Growth
[Helps with stat - Strength growth. Maximum rank (A) - Linked: Kim Si-woo / Yoo Ara 2/4]
-Sharpness
[Helps with stat - Intelligence growth. Maximum rank (A) - Linked: Kim Si-woo / Yoo Ara 2/4]
[Not a target of Heart of the Monarch.]
[Target does not have stat - Charisma.]
What?
The condition for transferring the nurturing skill was having the stat?
No wonder the rank was high.
In the end, with only the 5 growth support skills placed on her, the first lesson ended.
