The Desperate Wish to Become the Best
I had simply wanted, more than anything, to become the best. Together with everyone else.
"A... is that right?"
I received my grades report.
Every subject was an A+. Yet only one subject had received an A.
Dungeon Conquest Practice.
It had clearly been the test where my party cleared the most quickly, handling the boss before anyone else.
Why?
I couldn't understand it. I couldn't understand at all.
Right there, I stood up and confronted the professor.
"Why isn't it A+? Our group must have had the fastest clear time."
"Oh Sea, do you really think that?"
"...Please tell me the evaluation criteria. Otherwise I can't accept it."
"Even an A is more than enough. You've done well."
"Show me."
"Huuuum..."
He scratched his head, then reluctantly pulled out a single sheet of paper.
"This is Sea's score and the professor's opinions."
"...This is..."
Out of 100 points, it was a 90.
Most other items had no deductions, but there were reductions mainly in cooperation and future potential.
Future potential...
I knew.
I knew that I had no innate talent. I knew I had talent, but it was only that of a prodigy. So I could accept the deduction for potential. I could have accepted it...
Cooperation at only 3 points...?
It couldn't be.
My plan had been perfect.
Thorough calculations, every member fulfilling their exact role. The party had operated flawlessly the entire time, with only minor troubles.
"By the way, you know that cooperation scores include evaluations from teammates?"
"! ...No way."
Of course not.
It was too petty, even for humans. My mind was too small. If those idiots had been there, they would have definitely sabotaged it, and the thought made me sick.
Because of something this trivial, I lost my A+...?
"You don't have to make that face. I remember that Sea was the one who gave the sharpest scores to the teammates."
"...That was the natural result of the evaluation."
"Huuuum. I was going to say I shouldn't even mention this, but I have no choice."
If I didn't explain, you wouldn't believe it.
The professor cleared his throat lightly and answered.
"Cooperation score: teacher gave 1 out of 3. Sea gave 1 out of 4 to the other students. Other students gave 1 out of 3 to Sea. Total 3 points."
"N...?"
"Don't say it was impossible. Cooperation is also called personality in other words."
The meaning was simple.
The cooperation the professor valued was the cooperation required during dungeon conquest.
Looking at it from that perspective, Sea's party was a party that moved forward independently and on its own.
In terms of combat strength it was passing, but in terms of cooperation it was the worst. It would never be someone who could climb high.
That's why it received 3 out of 3 points.
Someone who treats others harshly will eventually cause conflict within the group.
Teammate evaluations: does the person have enough personality to do good for the team?
Sea gave 1 point and proved his own personality.
Finally, the evaluation of Sea by others.
Needless to say, 1 point.
That's why the lowest score of 3 was given to Sea.
"I know Sea worked hard, but it's not good to get too immersed in your own world."
"............"
I no longer wanted to hear any more.
But there was one thing, only one thing, I still had to ask.
"Which party received the A+?"
"...Just one party. It was in our class."
Kim Sunwoo.
That party was the only one in our class to receive A+.
"Come find me and learn from them. You'll probably learn a lot."
"............"
I would learn a lot.
Learn what?
I knew.
Kim Sunwoo. Memorizing his name and face was nothing.
The kid.
Fool. Complete idiot.
He was called a rare spirit contractor, but aside from that, he was completely ordinary.
His actions were flashy and grand, but in reality he had nothing solid.
He suddenly dressed up and laid hands on a first-year junior.
He waved spirits around like weapons and shot them like shotguns.
On the opposing side he suddenly evolved a spirit and changed the tide—insane nonsense.
No matter how I looked at it, he was a kid with nothing worth learning from...
"Sea, you know, I don't like my third-year seniors at all."
"So what does that have to do with me?"
"...Sea."
He smiled with a sly grin and extended his hand.
"Let's break the student council together with me. With us."
".....Huuuung."
"We'll become the strongest in the academy and wipe out all this bullshit!"
"........"
It didn't look like there was much to learn, but...
"I won't accept anything less than the best. So if this party isn't enough, I'll leave anytime."
"As much as you want."
There was no reason not to accept the hand that was offered first.
I'll watch them thoroughly.
What cooperation really was.
What the hell was different about this party.
I would analyze it, break it down, learn it, and show that to Sunwoo for sure.
"Show? What are you going to show?"
That stupid-looking expression. On that face.
That this human had somehow surpassed the genius.
"Right now that appearance?"
"Y-Yeah...?"
I was going to show it, but...
"Eh...?"
The reflection in the mirror.
"Ah...uu..."
Nude. No thread of clothing on my body.
And on top of that,
"I don't...want this..."
A bright red palm print.
Silver piercings swaying lightly at my nipples.
Black leather handcuffs bound around the ends of both wrists.
An unpleasant foreign sensation from my hips.
"I don't want it...!"
When I turned my head, what the mirror reflected was red whip marks and a tail with an anal plug inserted.
Even the transparent, viscous liquid dripping from between my legs.
"Kya-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-aaaah!!!"
It was impossible.
I didn't want to admit it was me.
...
...
...
"───Hie!"
Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.
My heart was pounding hard.
My mind was in a daze.
Where was I?
And right now, I was...
"....Haaaaah."
Home.
No one was here.
There was no one who could harass me.
As I realized that, I instinctively checked the clock.
"Six o'clock..."
It was far too early.
There was still time.
I thought about going back to sleep, but sleep didn't seem to come.
Eventually I sat up, roughly toasted some bread, and picked up my phone.
"....Huh?"
A half-finished video.
I must have been watching it when I fell asleep.
When I replayed it, a single stage was playing.
"Spirit Idol Nature..."
It was definitely the idol group that Hyewon had formed with that group of idiots.
But I didn't know why I was watching this... I realized the moment I started replaying.
"...Sunwoo."
Sunwoo.
There he was.
Even though he was disguised with the power of the Water Spirit and Wind Spirit, it wasn't Hecate who had disguised herself.
Probably if it hadn't been Hecate, I wouldn't have known.
Before, I could tell just from her voice, but now she was completely a woman.
And she only looked like a crazy tomboy with wild charisma, the group's secret weapon.
And even the chattering voices the entire video, whether I knew or not.
"Really... you changed a lot."
Why couldn't I find anything wrong with her?
Even though she was arbitrary, she was still somehow fixing it.
Even her useless softness and useless ability to solve it all somehow.
And maybe I was drawn to that useless act.
From the time when I only looked for the best, those inefficient things had come to me like a kind of stimulation— no, no.
If I thought about it from here, I'd fall into a bottomless pit.
Sea happened to be biting into the rising toast and quietly showered, washing her body.
"....Ugh."
My breasts, swollen and thick, didn't match my small chest and were hideous and shallow.
My protruding clit, which wasn't neatly covered like before, was plump and lewd like a bitch in heat.
Shallow.
I wanted to look away.
But it was already done. It was the price of the trade.
If it wasn't only the ability... the ability...
The power of the Hero Party. That latent potential.
It was none other than the Hero's own ability.
A power that made someone stronger, not an illusion of strength.
I was attracted to that power and joined the Hero Party, and the result of being drawn to it was this.
"..........."
Something was draining out of me.
Was this really something I should have run here for? A tiny regret also came.
Szack!
"....Huuu."
But I could no longer turn back.
The die was already thrown. I had no choice but to keep going until the result came out.
Sea wiped her body with a towel and prepared to go to work.
"..........."
Standing in front of the vanity, she applied makeup.
Things that had been extremely awkward before.
But now she was so familiar that even closing her eyes would be fine.
The fact that she hated herself that much.
Disgusting.
My stomach churned.
The feeling of sinking endlessly into the ground.
And that feeling was emotion.
"Huh? You're here? If you're here, take over for me."
"Ooh... ooh-eek.....!"
"......"
Even stronger when standing right in front of the Hero.
A woman collapsing half-naked on the floor, vomiting into the desk.
Support and manager of the Hero Party.
And
"The longer it goes, the worse the performance gets. Maybe it's time to stop and get another one."
"Kkuek?! Ueh... uuuu...!!"
The official butt-patting member of the Hero Party.
Even with cum and spit all over her face, she still tried to rub her dick on it, which was pathetic and stupid at the same time.
But what was most disgusting of all was,
"Since your back suits it, get down there. Ah, Sea, you know as usual, right?"
"....Yes."
Even someone who couldn't disobey the Hero.
On all fours, she took the dick into her mouth.
Chub... chubbu...!
....I don't want this.
Everything was disgusting.
But the more she did it, the stronger she became.
That's why it was disgusting. I didn't know what was what anymore.
The me sucking the dick was disgusting, and that kid licking the asshole was disgusting too.
What meaning could the power obtained in such a way have?
"───Kuuuup...."
Under her dazed mind, the dick suddenly plunged into her throat.
Her throat squeezed tight. A habit that had been bitten for a long time.
When the Hero's semen seeped into her body, she felt a slight but powerful surge of strength.
............
Yes.
That's probably why.
In the end, a prodigy can't defeat a genius.
To become a genius, a prodigy had to suck a dick to the extreme.
Sea gave up thinking any further. She simply kept craving the semen, craving the power of the Hero.
And when someone fell from a human to a female...
"The Worst Witch. We are going to exterminate Morgan."
Someone had become a Hero once more.
