Seo Na-yeon's Daring Intrusion
As I stayed completely still without reacting, Seo Na-yeon's patience seemed to reach its limit. She looked incredibly impatient by nature anyway, and she suddenly barked at me.
"Ah, come on! Use your skill already!"
A powerful surge of mana erupted from Seo Na-yeon. At the same time, there was a loud bang! against the walls surrounding us.
"I don't know what's going on, but calm down first. This is a residential place. It's a studio apartment with thin walls."
If another commotion like the previous one happened so soon after the last, it could leak outside. The emergence of a new S-rank hunter would be public knowledge soon enough, but I didn't want any unsavory incidents like this to come up first.
I organized the words she'd thrown at me. She'd mentioned Kim Seol-bi multiple times. And she knew about my relationship with her.
Is there bad blood between Seo Na-yeon and Kim Seol-bi?
I wasn't particularly interested in hunters, so I had no idea how the relationships among S-rank hunters were formed. I figured even they could have good or bad relations with each other.
Maybe Seo Na-yeon had always disliked Kim Seol-bi and, upon learning we were close, came here like this? If an S-rank hunter like Kim Seol-bi was dating a low-rank hunter like me, she might think there was something special about me and came to check?
That doesn't seem right...
I felt a sense of incongruity. If my guess was correct, wouldn't Seo Na-yeon have approached me in a more normal way? No matter how bad her relationship with Kim Seol-bi was, breaking the door handle to barge into the home of the woman her rival was dating didn't seem likely.
Of course, Park Hyun-jun had brought his thugs and broken in like a thug, but that was extremely rare.
She's connected to Park Hyun-jun.
I had no choice but to conclude that. This woman must have learned what happened to Park Hyun-jun and, through him, about me.
At Kang A-jin's house, I'd been solely focused on Jo Dong-geun, but in retrospect, Park Hyun-jun's matter was there too. Just because he'd been castrated didn't mean it was completely over.
In any case, I faced Seo Na-yeon head-on. Honestly, I didn't think I'd lose in a fight. Even in my weakened state, I'd beaten Jo Dong-geun. And since then, I'd acquired countless skills I couldn't even list. In a one-on-one with Seo Na-yeon...
Of course, she had overwhelmingly more hunting experience than me, but one-on-one fights between hunters weren't decided solely by experience. It was pure strength against strength. The stronger one would win.
Still...
I didn't want to fight this woman who'd suddenly broken in. If necessary, I'd fight; if needed, I'd knock her down. But that was a last resort.
"My abilities?"
"Yeah, oppa. Show me too. You've got something, right?"
Seo Na-yeon licked her lips. Honestly, her unique outfit, piercings, and tattoos were all very distinctive, but they suited her perfectly somehow. She was tall for a woman, with an outstanding physique—that alone was attractive. It was a different kind of sexual appeal from the voluptuous exotic beauty Valentina. If we'd met in normal circumstances and dated normally, I might have wanted to sleep with her.
Sex...
I realized she hadn't been exposed to my Unreasonable Favor skill. It was hard to intuitively know if someone was affected, but her attitude and speech made it unlikely.
But that's not the only way.
Through Valentina, I'd seen another side of my ability. Sex could also expose someone to Unreasonable Favor. Its power was such that it had even conquered Valentina—who was clearly stronger than average S-rank hunters and a lesbian.
"Miss Seo Na-yeon, you're already affected by the skill."
I blurted it out casually.
"Huh?"
Seo Na-yeon's eyebrows furrowed.
"What does that mean?"
She patted her body down.
"For real?"
"Yes. But you won't feel much. There's only one way to confirm it. Is that okay?"
"What's that?"
"Having sex with me."
"Huh?"
She'd thrown herself at me earlier suggesting sex herself, but hearing it from me now, Seo Na-yeon looked baffled. Her face showed curiosity about how sex could confirm exposure to the skill.
"That's why I asked if it's okay. Confirming the skill through sex is a bit much, right?"
"......"
Seo Na-yeon glared at me with sharp eyes. As expected of an S-rank hunter, that gaze was intense enough to prickle the skin. The pre-S-rank me definitely couldn't have withstood it.
After staring at me silently, she seemed to reach a conclusion and suddenly yelled, "Aah~~!"
"I get it now! So that's how that bitch Kim Seol-bi fell head over heels for you, oppa! I don't know how you ended up fucking, but once she got a taste, she couldn't forget it! Acting all high and mighty, but she's just a woman after all! Hohoho! Spot on. What in the world is more fun than sex? Hohoho!"
She'd wildly misunderstood. The button was in the wrong hole, but her misconception wasn't disadvantageous to me.
"Is that okay with you?"
I asked again, finding the flow amusing.
"Of course! A woman's pussy is there to get fucked! Not to hoard it or just pee from it!"
Seo Na-yeon spewed words that would shock anyone who heard. I had no idea if she'd always been like this or if becoming an S-rank hunter amplified it. Probably the former, strengthened after. To an S-rank hunter, the world was literally a playground. Nothing held them back from doing as they pleased.
In her own words, fucking whenever she wanted was the life of an S-rank hunter.
Of course, physiologically, S-rank hunters couldn't have sex with lower ranks or normals, but this woman seemed like she'd ignore that. The victim would be the other party, not her. Jo Dong-geun and Park Hyun-jun probably lived that way too.
Anyway.
"So you'll do it. With me. Sex."
"Of course!"
Seo Na-yeon replied briskly and hiked up her leather skirt, exposing herself. No pubic hair, but in its place was a heart-with-arrow tattoo.
"That's why I didn't wear panties!"
"I see......"
I glanced at the bed.
"There's one thing I'm worried about......"
"What, oppa?"
"Sex with an S-rank hunter is overwhelming for me. You know that, right?"
"So? Backing out now?"
Seo Na-yeon scowled, her face saying I'd gotten her excited just to bail.
"No, not that......"
I gave her a troubled look.
In truth, as an S-rank hunter myself, sex with Seo Na-yeon posed no issue, but.
"I think we need some basic safety measures. People lose reason when too excited. Especially during sex."
"Ooh! That confident? You're gonna excite me?"
"Yes. So......"
"Hohoho!"
Seo Na-yeon laughed loudly and reassured me.
"Don't worry. I have a toy I use sometimes."
She pulled something from her inventory with a clank. In her hand were handcuffs.
"I absolutely can't unlock these. Designed to react against my mana. I'll give you the key. That work?"
What the hell is with this woman?
My mind reeled. I couldn't understand why she'd go this far. She loved sex, but carrying tools to restrain herself? Masochism? She couldn't get excited without it being real?
Outwardly, she seemed more sadist than masochist, but apparently the opposite—or both.
Still, I didn't fully trust her. I couldn't believe "absolutely can't unlock." There must be another way besides the key.
But the situation progressing this far wasn't bad.
"Yes, that puts me at ease."
"Yeah, yeah, I get it. Don't worry."
She turned her hands behind her back.
"Come on. Cuff me yourself. You keep the key."
I did as she said, cuffing her hands behind her. With a click, as her wrists were bound, Seo Na-yeon let out a moan like she was already excited. "Ahng!"
