Chapter 39: The Real S-Class Reward is Yu-min’s XX.
The physical examinations ended very quickly.
It was a natural result, considering no one was seriously injured.
Afterward, they conducted further tests, including psychological counseling, to prepare for any potential issues.
'Everyone seems fine except for that guy.'
Kang Tae-min, the sacrificial lamb of the "Cider Pass" trope, was plummeting at a rapid pace.
With sensationalist articles pouring out in real-time, there was no way he wouldn't break.
Every time I refreshed the internet, more articles bashing Kang Tae-min appeared.
They were likely a collection of words that no sane person could bear to read.
'Poor guy.'
It didn't matter if it was Kang Tae-min or someone else; whoever it was, they were destined to be sacrificed for the sake of a "Cider" moment.
The protagonist had to shine, so there was no way the Gate would have been forced open without a reason.
His only sin was "coincidentally" living a life that made him an easy target for public scorn.
'He’ll definitely show up later.'
A Cadet’s allowance isn't enough to hire an Opener.
Even if one had that kind of money, it was difficult to contact an Opener directly without having a certain level of status.
But because of the recent incident, all the conditions had been perfectly met.
The money issue could be solved with the Black Card.
As for status, it had balanced itself out—Kang Tae-min had dragged himself down to the bottom.
'This must be part of Kim Min-su’s story too, right?'
The destiny was likely to take the fallen Opener as an ally, give him a bit of a redemption arc, and then put him to good use.
I couldn't predict which heroine would get trapped in a Gate, but knowing the general direction of the story was a huge gain.
"Everyone is perfectly fine. What a relief."
At the medical staff's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
'Should I check the rewards?'
We had cleared an S-Class Gate and everyone had survived.
There was no way they would just do a physical and mental check and say, "Okay! You're all free to go!"
Checking what I'd put off until things settled down was the best way to save time.
==================================
S-Class Gate Cleared!
Concept :: Classic Masterpiece [Don Quixote]
Contribution Rank: 1st.
As a reward, you have acquired the [Sub-Skill] Rocinante (S)!
Rocinante (S) :: The horse that Don Quixote cherished.
It transforms into a custom mount tailored to its owner. Its functions are enhanced according to the owner's capabilities.
(Current traits of Rocinante are: Sturdy Stallion [强干馬], Acceleration, Auto-pilot.)
==================================
"Ah, fuck."
"Pardon?"
"Nothing. Just a sudden... trauma..."
"Oh my! Do you need further examination?"
"No, I'm fine. It's just temporary."
The curse word slipped out automatically at the mind-boggling internet meme.
The reward itself was excellent, but to include such a trashy message...
The developer's greed for a gag was unnecessarily excessive.
'It's not even funny.'
The innocent medical staff ended up on the receiving end of my annoyance.
'The reward is good, though.'
I had gained a 3% share of the protagonist's position by obtaining Don Quixote, plus an S-Class skill.
It was a more than satisfying reward.
According to what we were taught about clear rewards, there was no obligation to disclose what we received.
However, it was said that most people chose to go public because there was no real reason to hide it.
There was a reason the reporters had been casting subtle glances my way without speaking directly.
In the world of Academy Pure Love Diary, the reporters were surprisingly polite and not rude.
Perhaps that was why they were busy churning out articles bashing Kang Tae-min until everyone's exams were finished.
There were occasional reports about the Gate, but they were few in number due to a lack of accurate facts.
Now that the situation was winding down, they were probably dying to get an interview.
Even if they said it was only for those who wanted to participate, there was an unspoken pressure that "obviously, the person with the highest contribution should do an interview."
Even Cheon Hae-il had been glancing over here for a while, seemingly curious about the reward.
"The situation seems to have settled. If it's not too much trouble, could we get an interview?"
"We know you're tired, but we ask for your understanding."
"We'll keep it very brief so as not to be a burden."
Having read the room for quite a while, the veteran-looking reporters were the first to speak.
It was a perfect judgment call, made after the medical staff began preparing to withdraw and after reading Cheon Hae-il's expression.
Cheon Hae-il and the instructors also nodded, signaling that they didn't mind.
"Hunter Baek Tae-yang?"
It was technically correct to call me a Cadet, but it felt a bit awkward to call the person with the highest contribution in an S-Class Gate a mere "Cadet."
Besides, I was only famous among the Victory Academy instructors; I hadn't been exposed to the outside world yet.
The record of my fight with the 5th-Grade Hunter had been kept strictly confidential by Victory Academy.
The reason they called me first was, of course, because they were most curious about the reward I had obtained.
I was certain I would be the first in the interview order.
"I have no intention of doing an interview. I'm sorry. I'm too tired and need to go rest."
Disappointment and shock washed over the reporters' faces.
"Uh... ah..."
Panic swept through the area in an instant.
For the reporters, it was practically a death sentence.
The narrative would only look good if they interviewed Baek Tae-yang first and then the others in order.
Their faces clearly showed they wanted to rush over, shove a microphone in my face, and at least hear about the reward.
'Wow... even the Chairman?'
Even Jang Du-cheol was sighing; he really must have been curious.
"But I will disclose the reward."
"Pardon?"
[Activating Rocinante! Analyzing Baek Tae-yang...]
[Analysis Result :: Bully, Thug, Designated Bully, Virgin Bomber]
[Rocinante changes its form according to the analysis results.]
[Rocinante—Large Motorcycle is being summoned!]
"Wh-what? What is this! Hey, film this!"
"Hunter Baek Tae-yang! Just the skill name! Could you at least tell us the name!"
"We beg of you! If you want us to kneel, we'll kneel!"
"What?! Is there someone who hasn't knelt yet?!"
"It's that guy! If Hunter Baek Tae-yang doesn't tell us the skill name, it's because of him!"
The reporters started shouting the moment they saw the large motorcycle suddenly appear.
The reporters, who had been hanging on my every word, began to run wild like angry bandits.
'It does suit me well.'
It looked as if a horse had been fused directly into a motorcycle.
The front of the bike featured Rocinante's head, and light even shone from its eyes.
The parts connecting the wheels to the frame were shaped like horse legs.
"It's called Rocinante."
"Oh... ohhh! Ohhh!"
"Is it 'Rocinante' with an 'e' or an 'ae'?"
"Who the hell just asked that?!"
"It's that guy who didn't kneel earlier! Just kill him!"
Rocinante was full of an aesthetic that stirred something hot in a man's heart.
A perfect harmony between the designs seen in Tokusatsu shows and a Harley-Davidson.
It was a literal warhorse clad in metal armor.
"Then, I'll be going."
I had already exchanged more than enough greetings earlier, so I had nothing left to say.
I had received everyone's business cards, so there were no lingering attachments.
Back on Earth, I had ridden bikes plenty during middle and high school, so operating it felt natural.
'Yu-min, I'm coming.'
Vroooooom!
Rocinante let out a thunderous roar, announcing its presence.
A helmet was automatically equipped; looking at my reflection in the screen, it closely resembled Don Quixote's helm.
The difference was that it looked more like a motorcycle helmet and the visor area was transparent.
"Min-su! I'm heading out first!"
I waved my hand, intentionally mentioning Kim Min-su.
"Yeah, see you lat—"
I didn't need to hear his answer, so I immediately twisted the throttle.
Vroom!
As soon as the explosive exhaust note erupted, the surrounding scenery blurred.
It was finally time to taste the honey pot I'd left in the dorm.
+++++++++++++++++
"Hmm?"
I expected the door to be open, but it was locked.
'Is she not here yet?'
Quite a bit of time had passed since I contacted her right after clearing the S-Class Gate.
I thought Yu-min, who had only gone for an F-Class Gate field trip, would have arrived first.
"Yu-min?"
The lights in my room were off when I looked from the outside.
I checked my phone to see if she'd sent any messages, but there was nothing.
"Is she tired?"
Since the Gate field trip was a first for everyone, it was possible.
I was full of disappointment, but there was nothing I could do.
It wasn't my style to force a girl who was tired to have sex.
Licking my lips, I headed into the bathroom.
I relaxed my stiff body with warm water and threw my clothes into the washing machine.
As the warm water hit my skin, fatigue washed over me.
I finished my shower quickly and dried off haphazardly.
'Let's just sleep...'
The best part about living alone was being able to walk around naked.
I still felt a lingering regret about not meeting Yu-min.
In Korean tradition, if you moved your body enough to work up a heat, you had to let it out through sex.
It was an act so widely known it even appeared in movies.
"Augh, seriously, So Yu-min!"
"Yeah! Did you call?"
"Huh?"
Because I shouted out of frustration, Yu-min emerged from my room.
"Why are you coming out of there?"
"I was waiting and got so sleepy that I slept in your bed for a bit. Is that okay?"
Yu-min answered very naturally.
Her nuance suggested it was her own home, and she was even wearing my clothes.
"Why are you wearing my clothes?"
"I heard guys like this kind of thing."
The crisp white dress shirt was sheer enough to show her nipples.
Since the size didn't fit, her upper chest and shoulders were completely exposed.
"Wow..."
I couldn't argue.
The fatigue that had settled in began to migrate straight back to my cock.
It took less than five seconds for my question mark to turn into an exclamation point.
"I'm not wearing anything underneath, Tae-yang."
As she slowly lifted the hem of the shirt, her firm pussy flesh revealed itself.
Perhaps she had prepped herself beforehand, as it was glistening and wet.
"Tae-yang, the real reward for the S-Class Gate is Yu-min's fucking pussy, right?"
My head nodded automatically.
"I would've been disappointed if it wasn't. You're being really wicked."
"But you're not going to hate me."
Yu-min spoke adorably while swaying her hips side to side.
It was a gesture from someone who knew exactly how much she resembled a cat.
"Yu-min, come here and have some Churu."
I swung my stiff cock shaft from side to side.
"Meow."
Having decided to go full cat, Yu-min began to crawl toward me on all fours.
She suited the role so well I almost wanted to plug a cat tail into her anus next time.
I crouched down, making my lap as deep as possible.
"This is too big, Master."
"You can just eat it slowly."
"Master is mean."
Despite her words, Yu-min opened her mouth wide.
Stretching her jaw to the limit, she swallowed the glans in one go and began to suck on the urethra with a slurping sound.
Even with my dick in her mouth, she seemed dissatisfied with her empty hole, as she began to poke at her pussy with her fingers.
"Should I call Min-su?"
"Mmm..."
With her mouth full of cock, she signaled her answer by shaking her head.
But I hadn't asked for her opinion.
"A good cat listens to its master."
I grabbed Yu-min's hair and shoved my dick all the way down to her throat.
Her eyes widened at the sudden thrust and she gagged, but I didn't care.
In fact, the way her face turned red as she made choking sounds only made me harder.
Ring... Ring...
With every ring of the phone, Yu-min's pupils trembled.
Just as I wondered if she still had lingering feelings, I heard the sound of liquid hitting the floor.
"Are you so excited by this situation that you're dripping pussy juice everywhere?"
Yu-min was sucking my dick while pouring out enough pussy juice to soak the floor.
As if she wanted the next stage to happen quickly, she was turning herself into a vulgar slut.
'It's even better because she's my personal slut.'
Just as I was enjoying her mouth pussy to my heart's content while thrusting my hips, the ringing stopped.
"Hey, Min-su. It's me, Tae-yang."
Kim Min-su would regret picking up this call for a long, long time.
"By any chance, have you heard from Yu-min?"
I didn't need to get in touch with her.
Why would I need to contact her when she comes to my dorm room on her own if I just leave a message?
"No, I was just thinking the three of us should hang out later."
Yu-min was still below me, mouthing and sucking my cock.
She didn't even mind that her cheeks were sunken in, making her face look hideous.
When the base of my dick hit her lips, she held back her gag reflex and stuck her tongue out.
She was trying her best to tease my balls with her tongue and draw out my cum.
There wasn't much time left until Kim Min-su's first moment of heartbreak.
'Poor, clueless Min-su.'
It was time to teach him that the end of immature love is always ruin.
"Then I'll try contacting her myself."
