I Became a Veteran of the Academy in the Novel
"Hurry up."
Holding her twintails in my fist, I urged Seo Yujin on.
"Just wrap your lips around it. Fast. Then I'll suck yours after..."
Yujin took the glans between her lips and sucked, little by little, with slow, reluctant pulls.
I caught her head and pushed her back just enough to slip myself free of her mouth.
"You agreed that at this hour, you're my female and you do as I say. Remember?"
"..."
"Now. Say it."
"I won't..."
She turned her face away, pouting like a stubborn child, both cheeks burning red.
"Then pick one of the two."
"...?"
Clear eyes lifted to meet mine.
"You can say, please put it in my mouth. Or you can go out to the hallway right now and take a creampie out there. Your choice."
"Are you insane? Where would anyone even do that?"
"Hmm? Funny thing to say from a girl who promised to do whatever she's told. Hurry up. You're getting cured tomorrow and we're leaving, right?"
"Hii... ssi..."
My massive cock came to rest right in front of Yujin's lips.
"It's not a hard request. Look at me and say it."
I gripped her twintails like reins and turned her face up toward mine.
"Hnnn..."
Yujin swallowed dryly, then forced the words out.
"P-put it... in my mouth."
She opened her small mouth toward me.
"Ah—"
Her eyes squeezed shut under the weight of humiliation and shame.
And then—
"Hold on just a— khm."
Yujin, still squatting with her arms pinned behind her back, shuddered hard at the waist and began squirting onto the floor with a long, sharp hiss.
"Hnnn."
She scrambled her arms forward and clutched my thighs for support.
"Hah... hahng... aaahng."
Her hips bucked beyond her control, and she sprayed her juices again and again right there in front of me, trembling.
I seized my cock at the very edge of release and shoved it between Yujin's lips.
"Suck."
"Mmph."
With the cock forced past her lips, I began to move my hips. Using her twintails as handles, I pistoned into her mouth-pussy in long, steady strokes.
"Mmph. Mmmph."
Face resentful one moment and on the verge of tears the next, Yujin sucked me off while spraying squirt onto the floor over and over.
"Good. That's what a female looks like."
"Mmmph."
[Hnn... this bastard really has made me his female. My body's getting worked up all on its own. Ssi...]
"I'm coming. Drink every drop."
"Mmph."
The huge cock throbbed deep in her mouth and began to release.
I stopped my hips and looked down at Yujin.
"Mmph."
Gulp. Gulp.
She swallowed desperately, but she couldn't keep pace with the sheer volume flooding her mouth. The moment it filled completely, semen began leaking out through the seams of Seo Yujin's lips.
"Puhaa— mmph."
She spat out what she couldn't swallow, then sealed her lips around me again and took the rest.
Gulp. Gulp.
"Look at me, Seo Yujin."
"Mmph."
Her eyes glazed over, love juice and squirt trailing slickly down her thighs, Yujin stared up at me. The hands gripping my thighs had gone white-knuckled. I could feel it — the last ember of her will, fighting to hold on to her sanity.
Sssshh—
Thin smoke curled up from the tips of her darkened fingers. A centimeter or so of the madok vanished. Only about a single finger-joint's worth remained now.
So the purification really does slow down toward the end.
Could I burn through the rest of it today?
When I finished, I gazed quietly down at Yujin. She still had the cock cradled in her mouth, diligently swallowing what was left inside. Gulp, gulp. Then — without a single word of instruction — she began bobbing her head back and forth, cleaning me off. Only after sucking me thoughtlessly for a while did she glance up, meet my eyes, and come back to herself.
"Puhaa."
The heavy cock slid free of her mouth. Exhausted, she sank from her squat down onto her knees.
"Hah... hah... You seriously cum a filthy, ridiculous amount."
"Open up. Say ahh."
"...Why, again?"
"Standard procedure."
"...Ssi. Aah—"
"Lift your tongue. Show me you swallowed it all."
She raised her tongue and showed me the inside of her mouth.
"Good enough?"
"Good girl. That much is the bare minimum for my female."
"You're a genuine degenerate, you know that? Don't tell me you make Seolha and Instructor Choi Jiyoon do this stuff too?"
"Nope. Those two are long past this stage."
Yujin's bracelet gave off a faint blue glow.
[What — is that actually true?]
[Doesn't Kim Ian have some kind of ability that makes women fall head over heels for him?]
She shot me a glare.
[...No. If it were something like that, Instructor Choi Jiyoon — the one with the status window — would never have fallen for this guy. So then what? Was he seriously just born with a cock like that?]
I helped Yujin to her feet.
"Want to rest a bit before the next round?"
"...Yeah. Let me wipe this off and wash up a little first."
Clear love juice was running down the inside of her smooth thighs. Yujin disappeared into the bathroom, and I lay back on the bed, lost in thought.
She still keeps a sliver of her sanity even while taking my cum. I'll need to train her far more thoroughly.
Before long, the sound of running water drifted out from the bathroom. I got up and walked in after her.
"What? Why are you—"
Click.
The bathroom door locked behind me.
"Hey. Hey. Hold on. Hold on a second—"
"No time. Hands on the wall, ass out."
"Wait, just— aaahng♡"
Before long, the sound of flesh slapping against flesh carried all the way out of the bedroom.
"Seo Yujin. What are you to me?"
"Hnn... a rapist. A filthy, degenerate bastard."
"Hmm? Keep giving me the wrong answer and I'll make you swallow a full load again, just like before?"
"Hnn..."
"You must like drinking my cum, huh?"
"As if. It's disgusting."
"Then answer me. What are you to me?"
"...Fuck."
"Want me to keep feeding it to you by mouth all day? Then answer. What. Are you. To me?"
"Kh... a female. There. Happy now?"
"That's right. You're my exclusive female."
"Drop dead."
Smack, smack, smack, smack—
"Aaaaaahng♥"
"Good girl."
The bedroom sat empty. From the bathroom, only the sound of flesh slamming together and a female's moaning could be heard.
The next day, at noon.
"Kieeeek!"
We banished the "room service" that had been haunting the twentieth floor. When we stepped out into the corridor, corpses that had been invisible until now lay scattered in the open, and the guests' belongings still sat undisturbed inside their rooms.
Chubby muttered beside me.
"The plane's merged back together."
The urban legend had been cleared. Seo Yujin checked her phone.
"It's the exact day we entered. It's ten at night right now. Only ten hours have passed since we came in."
Yoon Seokhyeon spoke up.
"Good work, everyone."
His eyes met mine, and he gave a small nod. I nodded back, just as lightly.
The elevator was working normally again. The fact that it was already running meant there were survivors. We took the stairs down to do one last sweep along the way, and partway down we ran into a middle-aged couple — two of the survivors.
"Excuse me — are you hunters? Did you resolve the urban legend?"
We nodded.
"Oh my goodness. Thank you. Thank you so much."
Glasses asked them, "How did you manage to survive?"
"We ignored the knocking, and never answered no matter how it called out to us."
"You never once tried to force the door open?"
"It tried turning the doorknob itself, hard, and when that failed it tried to sweet-talk us into opening up, ever so politely. We had to listen to that knocking for two full weeks."
An urban legend that knocks on your door and tries to strike up a conversation the moment you're inside your room.
"I don't think I'll ever hear a knock again without my blood running cold."
The middle-aged man smiled, weak and weary — but underneath it was the unmistakable relief of a man who had lived.
By the time we reached the first-floor lobby, there were far more survivors than I'd expected. They were bolting for the exits as if they never wanted to set foot in the hotel again.
"Oh?! They're out!"
Outside, a reporter spotted us at once. The crowd of civilians erupted into cheers. One journalist came sprinting over.
"Did you resolve the Anomalous Phenomenon?"
Amid the commotion, Yoon Seokhyeon nodded. A barrage of camera flashes went off. Reporters herded us into a line and started snapping photos.
"What kind of Anomalous Phenomenon was it?"
Yoon Seokhyeon handled the interviews as our representative, while people we'd never met came up and pressed business cards into our hands. I accepted mine in a daze.
These are...
I traded glances with the others. Jangryong, Moonseong, Seojin, Nine — the business cards of major hunter guilds, the very ones that had appeared in the novel as well.
But something's off here.
Even in the middle of the chaos, I couldn't shake the feeling that this scene had diverged from the novel. In the novel, this urban legend gets cleared too. The party was identical, with Oh Hyunsoo simply replaced by me. But there had been no mention of the media and the guilds swarming them like this. If anything, the only thing Yoon Seokhyeon took away from it was Oh Hyunsoo's death twisting him further.
Yoon Seokhyeon was speaking to the reporter.
"It's thanks to one of our members. He identified the counter to the Anomalous Phenomenon faster than anyone."
He turned his head and looked at me with a warm, easy smile. Every eye in the crowd swung toward me. Another salvo of flashes burst. All I could manage was an awkward roll of my eyes.
Right. I get it now. In the novel, clearing this legend took forever. That's why there were no survivors left — Oh Hyunsoo died too. And that's why nobody paid much attention to them, even after they cleared it.
This time, we'd figured out the counter on the very first floor and cleared our way up fast, which meant the survivors who'd been holding out were still alive to walk out. Several dozen of them, by the look of it. A group of academy cadets — not even licensed hunters — had resolved an urban legend that had stumped everyone for days, and done it in just ten hours.
"Our market value's about to shoot up, huh? Must be nice?"
Seo Yujin murmured, arms crossed. I leaned in close and whispered against her ear.
"Beats me. I got something better than a higher price tag, so I'm happy either way."
"Wh-what's that supposed to mean."
Color bloomed across her face. I pretended not to notice.
"We've gotten pretty close, all of us. From where I'm standing, that's a pretty serious harvest."
"Huh? ...I-is it."
Bzzz—
My phone rang. [Choi Jiyoon]
I glanced around. There they were — Yoo Seolha in a baseball cap pulled low and Choi Jiyoon in an oversized hood, both watching me. I raised a hand in a small wave. Worried someone might recognize them, the two of them only flashed me a look in return and slipped away.
Ding.
A text message arrived.
Seo Yujin, who had been sneaking a peek at my phone screen, spoke up.
"So it was real after all?"
Her face had gone sullen, like a child denied a treat. Apparently she still hadn't fully believed that I was dating Choi Jiyoon and Yoo Seolha.
[You jerk.]
Or maybe, deep down, she'd simply been hoping it wasn't true. She tilted her body toward me, just slightly.
"I can handle my own treatment from now on, so you don't need to worry about me anymore."
Even after I'd creampied her until she collapsed from exhaustion yesterday, the last trace of madok clinging to the very tips of her fingernails hadn't been fully purified.
"And how exactly are you going to manage that alone?"
"I'll get my hands on a Divine Elixir, I suppose."
Seo Yujin looked up at me, and something faintly bitter crossed her smile.
"...Thank you. For everything."
