Amazing Girlfriend

  First Strike for Victory, Last Strike for the Kill

"Oppa, why are you suddenly saying you won't meet me?"

"I got a girlfriend."

"Wow, that's really funny. You fucked me like a dog when I had a boyfriend, but now you won't do it with me because you have a girlfriend?"

"I'm kind of a pure guy, you know."

"You slutty bastard, talking nonsense."

A conversation from some time ago automatically replays in my head.

I've made others cheat, but I've never cheated myself.

Others might ask what the difference is, but strictly speaking, the texture was different.

'It's like male pride.'

In a pride of lions, there was only one male.

One male taking responsibility for many females was an indicator of strength.

I was the same.

As a male, I simply gave a lesson to pathetic guys who couldn't protect even one female.

'Kim Minsu, this bastard...'

But cheating is a completely different story.

If you promise love to one woman, you should keep it, not look at other women.

That's not being a male, it's no different from a beast in heat.

'Of course, I took Yumin's pussy...'

Just because things are distant with your girlfriend, immediately running to another woman and holding hands.

It was too pathetic and pitiful to bear.

'This old bastard.'

The reason this bastard could become the protagonist was all thanks to Glasses Fatty.

An insensitive, unadorned, kind and righteous male protagonist.

Women flock to him even if he does nothing, and he's troubled when they actively pursue him.

'It's completely unrealistic.'

I waited eagerly for after school.

All I could do now was glare at Kim Minsu.

I could honestly understand up to the harem pure love.

That was the development Glasses Fatty unfolded.

But I absolutely couldn't forgive him cheating himself.

The subject who barely held hands at chapter 172 after hesitating.

To think he'd run to women as soon as the route changed to harem pure love.

'I'm going to fix this bastard's mind today.'

It wouldn't be fixed by beating, but there might be a one in a million chance.

The saying "the first time is the hardest" fit perfectly.

After swinging fists at monsters, Baek Taeyang's tendencies completely stuck to my body.

"Alright, that's it for today's class. Tomorrow is practical training, so everyone take thorough care of your bodies."

"""Yes sir!"""

"Ah right, Minsu and Taeyang, don't forget to visit Instructor Kim Seokgu after school."

"Yes."

"Yes, understood."

Finally, all classes were over.

I was about to take Kim Minsu to Instructor Kim Seokgu right away, but this guy approached me first.

"Taeyang, let's go."

I almost threw a punch as soon as I saw his face mixed with refreshment and irritation.

"Okay."

Honestly, I could have forgiven Kim Minsu generously if he had just held hands.

I could even turn a blind eye to interlocking fingers if I tried.

'But you crossed the line.'

I clearly witnessed it through the counseling room window.

The sight of him burying his face in Ryu Hyemi's clingy breasts is still vivid in my mind.

'You're disqualified as a male.'

Minsu needed thorough education.

+++++++

Two cadets stand in the vast sparring ground.

The cadet with black hair holds a wooden sword and looks at his opponent with a serious posture.

In contrast, the white-haired cadet keeps looking around, appearing distracted.

'It's like a hero and a villain.'

Kim Seokgu briefly summarized the scene unfolding before him.

Baek Taeyang and Kim Minsu were facing each other in the sparring ground, but they were too different.

Baek Taeyang with his tanned bronze skin and white hair, exuding a delinquent impression.

Kim Minsu with his neat and tidy appearance under shaggy black hair, wearing a confident expression.

Could such completely opposite people come out even if deliberately staged?

"It's just a light sparring, so don't take it too seriously."

It wasn't common for a cadet with outstanding abilities to volunteer for another class.

Victory Academy was where gems verified from all over the world gathered.

But volunteering for another class? That proved they were already beyond cadet level.

'True talent, brilliant gems.'

They weren't volunteering for other classes from the position of cadets.

'Acting as instructors from the first year...'

Usually, it would be the second semester of the second year at the earliest.

Until then, character and skills aren't properly grasped.

'Kim Minsu was verified, but Baek Taeyang really...'

If Baek Taeyang had shown an ordinary course, he could never have acted as an instructor.

'Should I call it a blessing in disguise... Thanks to the monsters, we could grasp Baek Taeyang.'

After seeing him save people, even the instructors changed their minds.

It was impressive how he accurately designated only monsters when using his ability and protected people.

With Baek Taeyang and Kim Minsu, they would surely perfectly cover areas beyond the instructors' eyes.

But without directly observing and grasping, one couldn't be certain.

He planned to briefly confirm their skills through sparring between instructors and inform them of precautions for tomorrow.

'Baek Taeyang clearly has a strong competitive spirit.'

When Kim Seokgu was about to check Kim Minsu's skills first, Baek Taeyang spoke up.

He said he wanted to spar with each other.

Saying he would adjust the output, so there wouldn't be any major injuries.

If it had been just Baek Taeyang's insistence, he would have refused, but Minsu also actively agreed.

The result was what we see now.

Just in case, other instructors besides Instructor Kim Seokgu were positioned around.

The instructors were probably curious too.

Baek Taeyang with innate talent for violence, and Kim Minsu who became a genius through acquired effort.

These two were asymmetric forces even within Victory Academy.

Kim Minsu proved his abilities through training, and Baek Taeyang expressed his strength through actual combat.

'Their skills are also opposites.'

Kim Minsu's main skill was [Hero]. It literally allowed him to exert a hero's power.

The power to always find opportunities in moments of crisis, not succumb to evil, and carry out one's beliefs.

That was what a hero was.

'As for Baek Taeyang...'

Due to several incidents happening in succession, they couldn't confirm his skill name. However, the analysis was complete.

Pure power that pressures the body and intimidates the mind.

It was a power that diverged from general debuff-type skills.

The power itself was dangerous, but the most fearsome thing was Baek Taeyang himself.

Even just looking at pure physical utilization, he was top-tier, and he also had the power to suppress opponents.

All the instructors here knew this fact.

'Did I approve this sparring carelessly?'

Seeing the two prepared, an uneasy feeling arose.

The instructors could intervene and stop them at any time, and the ability output was limited to 15%.

It was a situation where they couldn't cause an accident even if they wanted to.

"Well then, ready..."

Suddenly the air became heavy.

Should I stop this even now? Am I making a wrong choice out of curiosity?

Kim Seokgu pondered many things while placing each word on his tongue.

"...Begin!"

The deliberation was long and time was short.

The sparring finally started, and as all instructors watched the situation with wide eyes.

The first to move was Minsu.

+++++++++++++

Kim Minsu had so much experience that he was used to sparring.

From power output to body movement and sword proficiency, he lacked nothing.

When he learned he was volunteering for another class as an instructor, he thought it was natural.

It was unexpected that Yumin wasn't chosen, but he had guessed it.

Yumin was the one who didn't show clear prominence despite having an always-active skill.

According to her, there was a limit to her power, and some condition was needed to release it.

He remembers swallowing his regret when she said it wasn't a problem he could help with.

'I thought I'd be volunteering alone...'

The news that Baek Taeyang was also volunteering was really surprising.

To volunteer when he hadn't even been awakened for a week, honestly, he thought it was just because of his skill.

'Even the department store incident was... just luck.'

The inferiority he felt knowingly or unknowingly exploded.

Of course, he couldn't check the video, so he didn't know how he dealt with it.

'If I were there, I could do that much, no, even better.'

He tried not to show it. So he even spoke first and said let's go together.

But Baek Taeyang ignored all that goodwill and requested a sparring match.

It was absurd. How much was he looking down on him when he hadn't been awakened for long?

Minsu was already bothered by how Yumin's smiles towards Taeyang had been increasing lately.

Even his counseling with Hyemi had drifted towards Baek Taeyang having many suspicious aspects.

'Come to think of it, if he hadn't mentioned secret dating, it wouldn't have come to this!'

He felt wronged.

The emotion spreads through his body, making the hand holding the sword tremble.

Although it should be a light sparring, there would be no problem in teaching him a little lesson.

Since they were still first years, he could make excuses about being inexperienced.

"Ready..."

As soon as Kim Seokgu's words ended, he prepared to rush in.

Baek Taeyang couldn't have experienced sparring between awakened ones.

Unlike monsters, awakened ones move very diversely and complexly.

Minsu had completed all analyses.

No matter how he thought about it a hundred times, it was all victory.

'Think of this as a good experience, Taeyang.'

Good looks and a nice body? It was all meaningless.

All meaningless before true power.

"Begin!"

As soon as the command ended, he rushed towards Baek Taeyang.

[Strong Hit activated! Mighty power dwells in the sword!]

The movement without excess efficiently transfers power.

Brilliant light fills the wooden sword swinging from left to right, diagonally downward.

The silent sword strike that doesn't even make a sound cutting the wind falls on Baek Taeyang's body.

"First strike for victory!"

It's a blow that no one has ever reacted to in all his sparring matches so far.

He thought it would be the same this time too.

The confidence that no cadet could ever block his sword strike is clearly visible on Minsu's face.

The sword drawn first always brings victory.

All of this was before meeting Baek Taeyang.

For Baek Taeyang, victory wasn't important.

He didn't suggest sparring for such play.

Kim Minsu knew nothing.

The eyes that had been glaring at him before the sparring, the anger dwelling in them.

He was just intoxicated with his predicted victory.

To Kim Minsu, Baek Taeyang was just a cadet who awakened late.

That decided the outcome of this sparring.

He avoids the sword strike by stepping back just once.

It was unexpected for Minsu, who thought the situation would end with one strike.

"Huh?"

The power that lost its target falls on the innocent ground.

By the time he tries to recover his power, Baek Taeyang was already moving.

Intense light dwells in Baek Taeyang's fist.

It was a power he knew all too well.

But how? Astonishment fills Kim Minsu's eyes.

"You bastard, take some hits today."

His heel rises and his waist turns.

The power rising from the ground is fully contained in Baek Taeyang's fist.

It can't be avoided.

Baek Taeyang's fist dominates all of Kim Minsu's vision.

Last strike for the kill, the fist extended belatedly took on the form of death.

The most vicious blow hits Kim Minsu's solar plexus.

"Guuueeek!"

The sound of a pig being slaughtered fills the sparring ground.
