Senior-Junior Q&A (2)
The second question Senior Hwa-young handed me was, as expected, about my awakening ability.
“Now stop hiding it and tell me. What the hell is your awakening ability?”
“My awakening ability, you mean….”
I never imagined I would have to reveal it this quickly, but if it was Senior Hwa-young, it would be fine to tell her. The only worry was that once I revealed my ability, she might misunderstand my true feelings in a slightly different direction.
…Come to think of it, calling it a misunderstanding feels wrong.
To be honest, even with Senior Hwa-young, there had been a similar feeling at the beginning—that I was approaching her with awakening points in mind. Of course, that was also because she was every bit as attractive as the other women, so I followed my heart while using the awakening points as an excuse.
In the first place, the fact that I had no qualms about sharing relationships with women as I pleased was probably why this Hunter Libido Manager System awakening ability had been born.
Anyway, separate from all that, not wanting to be hated by a woman I had feelings for was simply human instinct.
…Still, we had promised to alternate questions one by one, so I honestly confessed my awakening ability to Senior Hwa-young.
Awakening Ability: Hunter Libido Manager System
“First, the name of my awakening ability is the Hunter Libido Manager System.”
“Hunter libido… what?”
“The Hunter Libido Manager System.”
The moment she heard the name of my awakening ability, Senior Hwa-young began guessing with a completely dazed expression.
“…The reason you’re going around mixing bodies with female hunters is because of an awakening ability called ‘Hunter Libido Manager’?”
“You’re quick on the uptake.”
“Who wouldn’t figure it out after hearing an ability with a name like that….”
“Well, that’s true.”
In a world full of awakening abilities that were hard to grasp from a single hearing, the Hunter Libido Manager System was unusually direct from its very name. Just hearing the name alone was enough to guess what kind of role I played among hunters.
“…So, is that all?”
“Pardon?”
“I’m asking if your awakening ability is simply mixing bodies with hunters to relieve their sexual desires and restore their awakening abilities. Is that the entirety of it?”
“Of course not. If that was all, I wouldn’t have been able to rise to B-class in the first place.”
“…Well, that’s true, I suppose.”
Unlike D-class and C-class, B-class hunters and above were beings who transcended human limits. Based on the previous world’s standards, hunters with physical abilities on the level of Olympic national representatives were roughly D-class. The ceiling one could reach while possessing such physical abilities and using high-performance equipment or weapons was C-class. From B-class onward, it was a realm impossible to reach without ‘transcending humanity,’ including the ability to handle such equipment.
Even the Stone Golem I had hunted most easily when rising to B-class could not be broken or sliced apart with ordinary weapons. Its rock-like body contained the monster’s unique mana, making it far harder than ordinary steel. Someone without knowledge of awakening abilities or mana would need a Damascus steel or mithril weapon just to inflict a wound. The strength required to swing it was another matter entirely.
Those materials were difficult for civilians to obtain, and finding a blacksmith capable of forging them was even harder. It was no empty claim that no matter how talented a male hunter might be, C-class was their limit.
Having caught dozens of B-class Black Slimes and even passed the B-class promotion test, it would be hard to imagine I had no combat-usable awakening ability.
Since I had no intention of hiding it anyway, I continued the explanation to Senior Hwa-young. I gave her a simple rundown of awakening points and the concept of raising skill levels. At first she wore an expression that screamed ‘What kind of ridiculous nonsense is that?’ but after I showed her that I could use both flame magic and cold magic, she began to show signs of acceptance.
“…Then you can’t be certain whether the Hunter whatever system you possess has the built-in function to restore a female hunter’s awakening ability?”
“That’s about right.”
“No matter how I think about it, it feels like it must have that function…. Otherwise it simply doesn’t make sense….”
“Huh? Why?”
“If your awakening ability itself didn’t include such a function, there should have been at least one failure case by now.”
“…Failure case?”
While I listened quietly, unable to understand what she meant, Senior Hwa-young created a small flame orb in her palm and continued.
“Look at this. After having sex with you earlier, my awakening ability recovered even further. Originally, the flame I could produce with this level of sensation was only about the size of a cigarette lighter.”
“What does that have to do with anything? It’s a good thing that your awakening ability is returning.”
“Does restoring the awakening ability of a short, muscle-less, poorly weight-managed woman like me truly mean you had sex with me out of genuine feelings from the heart?”
“I already told you that’s the case.”
“Sorry, but I know my own level. So you don’t need to say such nice-sounding words.”
Having said that, Senior Hwa-young began spouting strange logic as if she already knew everything.
“The last time could be called a coincidence. No matter what my body is like, for you it was still a new woman, so it must have felt fresh. And if we include that strange fetish of yours, it’s not impossible for you to have truly loved me in that moment.”
“…….”
“But no matter how much I think about it, it doesn’t make sense that you’ve been embracing me with true love all the way up to today. Besides, you said you’ve mixed with a lot of other women, right? Then it’s only natural that someone like me wouldn’t satisfy you at all. Don’t you think?”
“I was wondering what on earth you were talking about…”
It was the same with Cha Yuri and with Senior Hwa-young. Was it a mage’s instinct to immediately assume they had no charm? I felt a moment of pure disbelief at her for thinking she was making a logical argument based on such absurd assumptions.
Rather than trying to persuade her with a hundred words, showing her once through action seemed better, so I approached her again.
“Excuse me for a moment, sunbae.”
“Hey, yah, again?!”
“You should be getting used to it by now.”
“Would you get used to being treated like this?!”
Even though she had been lifted by me several times already, her embarrassment only seemed to grow stronger with each repetition. Her face flushed red, yet the body I held remained surprisingly docile.
I lifted her from the chair she had been sitting on, then sat down on the seat that still held her warmth. I placed Senior Hwa-young—who I had lifted—on top of me so our bodies overlapped.
“Hngh?!”
It was right after sex and we were both practically naked, so her buttocks naturally settled softly onto my thighs. My erect cock was sandwiched between our bodies, proudly asserting its presence.
“Wh-what is this…. It’s still question time…”
“That’s true, but I think I need to teach you a little more properly, Senior.”
“What could someone like you possibly teach me?”
“I have to properly show you that I mix my body with you because I genuinely like you, Senior.”
“……What?”
With a dumbfounded expression on her face, I pulled Hwa-young’s buttocks even closer. My cock slid between her soft folds like a hot dog while her two large, soft mounds of fat pressed against my chest.
As if reacting to Senior’s alluring body, my cock twitched and gradually swelled larger. She must have felt it too, because every time my length grew between her labia, her body trembled slightly.
“…Ugh, hey. What are you… doing…”
“If I truly didn’t find you attractive, Senior, I wouldn’t be able to get hard again so soon after ejaculating.”
“Th-that… may be true… but…”
“Perhaps from your perspective my tastes seem inconsistent with normal beauty standards. But I can tell you this one thing with absolute certainty. Whenever I have sex with you, Senior, I always do it with genuine love.”
“…….”
I brought my lips to her face again as she still avoided my gaze with a displeased expression. She had grown quite used to sudden kisses; even when my tongue barged in without warning, Senior Hwa-young didn’t seem very flustered. Instead, she even attempted small resistances while I alone explored her mouth.
I tormented her tongue even more persistently, thoroughly wetting the inside of her mouth with my saliva. After several minutes of kissing while our naked bodies remained pressed together, I pulled my face away. A long, thin strand of saliva stretched like a thread between our lips.
“If I was really just pretending to love you, Senior, I wouldn’t have bothered with a kiss like this.”
“…On the contrary, it could be that you’re pretending to truly love me and forcing yourself to kiss me even though you hate it inside.”
“…It seems one or two times isn’t enough for you to understand at all.”
“Ah, I get it, wai—mmph…”
Senior Hwa-young hurriedly tried to correct herself when she saw my face approaching again, but my already-determined lips claimed hers once more. As if proving my love, I ‘persuaded’ her with an even deeper kiss.
“Hngh?! Mmph, ugh…?!”
Senior reacted wildly to my breath suddenly pushing into her mouth, but I paid it no mind and continued exchanging air with our lips locked together. I didn’t stop at simply pushing my breath into her lungs; I occasionally sucked her breath and saliva back toward me as well.
After exchanging breaths more than a dozen times—until the thick scent of each other lingered on our tongues—I finally released her lips.
“Puh, hup…. Haa, ngh, haaaa…”
“Now are you in the mood to believe me? How sincere I am toward you, Senior.”
“I-I’ll believe you…. It definitely doesn’t seem like an act…”
Since no one could share a kiss like that without any real feeling, Senior eventually, albeit reluctantly, acknowledged my sincerity. As expected, true feelings got across far more easily than a hundred words.
