Chapter Title: Public Enemy?

'So that's it—the whole process of getting close was just leading up to dating after all!'
Marren shivered with excitement.
'Geon-ho is the best!'
She was over the moon.
Her pussy got wet instantly, and the urge to slurp on Geon-ho's cock right then and there was electric.
'Ah... I wish Geon-ho would wreck my pussy soon.'
My body exists only for Geon-ho. She'd been worried that maybe she was the only one thinking that way.
But now, with him openly acknowledging their relationship in front of everyone... she couldn't stop her womb from throbbing.
'I want him to fuck me in front of Heila and Airi... fill my womb with his thick cum...'
With his fiancée Heila showing up, and Airi subtly glancing at Kim Geon-ho too.
Marren had been wrestling with how to define her place.
She wanted to call it dating, but that had to be mutual. If she had to nitpick, they were really close... partners?
'But I hate that...'
Being just partners felt too shallow for Marren; she sensed a much deeper bond with Geon-ho.
And it was real.
They'd started hooking up before the black market, and he'd even gone out of his way to find the Trial of Lust dungeon for her!
No one does that unless they're seriously deep into it.
But asking Geon-ho directly terrified her.
'What if he finds me annoying?'
Marren was a total newbie at love, fumbling through everything.
She didn't want to be a burden to Geon-ho, who seemed so effortlessly skilled.
So she'd planned to bury it deep in her heart and confirm someday.
But whether heaven was helping or meddlers were scratching at Geon-ho's nerves...
He'd normally brush off stuff like this.
Maybe the dungeon fatigue had him on edge.
Either way, it led to an explosive result.
'This is too good!'
Marren was ecstatic.
'So I'm the first official girlfriend, right?'
Honestly, judging by his track record, demanding he stick to one girl seemed unrealistic.
Even clingy Marren could compromise that much for the man she loved.
Of course, if it looked overwhelming, she'd tell him to drop it all—but Kim Geon-ho wasn't that type.
'Fine, if he's gonna have multiple anyway, I want to be the first one walking down the aisle.'
That much she wouldn't yield.
She could share everything else, but not the principal wife's spot.
That's why Marren felt the need to broadcast it to the world right now.
'Use the power of Mayribel acting head immediately...!'
Every minute, every second counted.
She'd contact Mayribel right away and have the staff turn it into headlines...
"Don't."
As she moved to ask, Kim Geon-ho grabbed her wrist.
"Do we really need to make such a big deal out of dating? Honestly, isn't it fine if just the two of us know?"
"Yeah! Geon-ho's right!"
Marren flipped her thinking instantly.
Yeah, if that's how Geon-ho wants it, then that's perfect.
'It's basically official anyway!'
So when's the formal meeting? When's the wedding? How many kids?
"H-hey, Geon-ho, um, are you saying that because you want to start making babies right now...?"
"...No."
It wasn't her ovulation day today, so sudden baby plans would've been tricky—phew, dodged that.
Marren let out a relieved sigh and clasped one of Geon-ho's hands as he wiped his dry face.
"If you ever want to, just say... I'll time it with ovulation... and come without panties."
"Got it, thanks."
Kim Geon-ho hugged her tight as he said it.
Partly because he cherished her, but mostly because he had no idea what rumors she'd spread the second he let go.
After Kim Geon-ho publicly declared he was dating Marren.
Hero Academy's anonymous community Ungyeong was ablaze once more.

[Title: Those two are really dating? lmao there's a ton of girls around him right?]
[Author: Anonymous]
[Title: Basically declaring he's got octopus legs... (analysis)]
[Author: Anonymous]
[Title: Announces a girlfriend while having a fiancée... guy's insane.]
Posts kept regenerating with every refresh.
Then suddenly, focus shifted to one post, and the flood of new threads plummeted.
[Author: Kim Geon-ho Hunter]
[Title: I Declare]
[Listen up, Kim Geon-ho. Not content with declaring war on our first-year class reps, you've gone further and mocked us from the depths of your heart.
Publicly announcing a relationship despite having a fiancée—such shameless intent to date multiple women! We cannot forgive actions that betray pure love.
You're no longer one of us cadets. We declare you our enemy and, as you said, will unite against you!
Your class will be utterly isolated—no aid from other classes.
Hero Academy must unite as one!!! But you, who abandoned the meaning of manhood!!! We will never forgive you.
Better sharpen your neck until the inter-class battles!]
At first glance, it might seem like mere troll bait.
But the author ditched anonymity for the blatant "Kim Geon-ho Hunter" nickname.
And that ID belonged to one of the actual first-year class reps—that sparked the firestorm.
But the real reason it was burning hottest?
?
Is that really Kim Geon-ho?
It's legit lol wtf kkkkk
Cringe post but God Geon-ho replies the second anonymity drops...
Handsome face, killer body, top skills, huge popularity, even engages with loser trolls—what the hell is this guy's weakness?
Kim Geon-ho lacks flaws lol, just suck it up~
The man himself responded.
He dropped anonymity and sniped back boldly—that alone got him replies.
Most named cadets ignore this crap, but not Kim Geon-ho.
Coolly accepting the venomous challenge amid a swarm of anon hate!
In Hero Academy, where few act heroically,
Geon-ho won everyone over instantly with his straightforward, no-BS handling.
"Eeeeek!!! Why does everyone love Kim Geon-ho?! He's a playboy! Trash! Wastrel!"
The class reps who'd posted to steal some of that goodwill were losing their minds.
"But wastrel or not, that's old kid stuff... and playboy yeah, but..."
It's not quite the same.
They trailed off, but the vice reps plotting with them felt the same.
'He's Mountain Lord to begin with...'
Mountain Lords had a scary rep, but underneath was rock-solid stability—a mega-corp.
Guaranteed retirement, strict hierarchy, but top-tier benefits.
The firstborn son who'd even bagged the Little Giant Fembr? How could he not appeal?
'And he doesn't treat Marren like dirt...'
Even if he did, love comes in many forms.
Just look at how Marren gazes at him—dripping honey. Who are they to "save" her?
'Jealousy, plain and simple.'
The vice reps nailed the emotion binding the allied reps.
Inferiority complex.
In the world's top Hero Academy, they'd assumed they'd be protagonists.
But Geon-ho outshone them effortlessly, sparking envy.
So the reps hating on him chalked his feats to luck,
and figured uniting could school him properly.
But they overlooked one thing...
"...The nerve, writing like our class has only Geon-ho?"
"Insane... they skipped how we're top of the scores. Are they nuts?"
His provocation united Class 1-1 into a raging inferno.
"You bastards! We'll crush 'em before class rep elections even matter!"
"Tatakum! We're the strongest! Lay 'em all flat!"
They weren't facing just Geon-ho.
Rastel, Karan, Tatakum, etc.
All the novel's key characters.
The whole damn roster.
Meanwhile, amid the first-years' hottest drama, Kim Geon-ho was now
"How can you say such awful things?! Even with me, your fiancée, right there!"
"Kim Geon-ho! What the hell?! I called you a playboy and you're seeing it through?!"
enduring grilling from Heila and Airi.
Amid the interrogation, only Marren stayed chill.
Ignoring their chatter, she nuzzled Geon-ho's chest leisurely.
Any onlooker would peg it as principal wife energy.
Geon-ho kept a calm face, casually fielding their questions.
"I'm planning to date all of you anyway, so it's fine. Speaking of—wanna go on a date this weekend, Airi?"
He said it with total confidence.
"Hey, can't you fuck my pussy first before you go?"
Marren's quip was the cherry on top.
