Amazing Girlfriend

  I Should Be Able to Do Some Groundwork

"Cadet Kim Minsu, even in light sparring, always keep a cool head."

"Yes... I'm sorry..."

"Cadet Baek Taeyang needs more compact management."

"Yes sir."

Kim Seokgu seemed to like the sparring content more than expected.

I thought he would quickly explain the precautions from the start, but he was immersed in feedback.

"Especially since you haven't learned weapon techniques yet, you have no choice but to fight by throwing your body. In this case, exchanges end up trading flesh for bone, so to minimize self-damage, you should enter the ultra-close range. When Cadet Kim Minsu swung his sword, it would have been more effective to enter his embrace rather than dodge."

It was a reasonable point. It was actually possible too.

Now that I had gained the Witch's Blessing, I could utilize my body to the extreme.

So instead of waiting for the opponent's turn, he meant to completely stop their action itself.

"If you had entered his embrace, the opponent wouldn't have been able to swing his sword at all. The most ideal action you could have taken then was to enter his embrace and strike his chin."

While saying it was light sparring, the feedback was brutal.

The focus of all attacks was on the opponent's instant death or suppression.

"If I were Cadet Kim Minsu, I wouldn't have rashly entered because my attack range is longer than the opponent's. You should maintain distance as much as possible and utilize the weapon's advantage."

"Yes..."

Minsu was deflated by Kim Seokgu's words, which subtly implied he lost the sparring and made many mistakes.

His shoulders were drooping, and the haughty appearance from before the sparring was nowhere to be seen.

"Cadet Baek Taeyang... obtaining a weapon before entering the gate is your top priority."

The use of weapons inside gates is essential.

No matter how confident you are in using your body and how skilled you are with fists and feet, weapons are a must.

Usually, no information about gates could be obtained except for their rank.

Entering an unknown place barehanded was crazy.

Even if you wear shin guards and handcuffs, you'll end up in close combat anyway.

But what if the monster is self-destructing? What if it's a decoy monster that deceives with its appearance?

You won't be able to avoid injury because distance isn't secured.

'Weapons...'

That's why it was common to carry at least a staff.

Of course, high-rank hunters sometimes fight barehanded, but that doesn't apply to ordinary cadets.

"Cadet Baek Taeyang, make sure to apply for weapon supply today, and now I'll explain the precautions."

The atmosphere became heavier than during the feedback.

"Know that you being able to volunteer this time is not just because of your skills, but also luck."

"Originally, it would be right for upper years to go, but gates have been occurring frequently recently, so there's a shortage of personnel."

This was actually the most questionable thing.

Why can some go on support missions when they're in the same year?

Victory Academy has up to 4th year. Then shouldn't it be natural for upper years to support lower years?

But it was support between same-year students, so I had been thinking it was strange.

'Is this Glasses Fatty's influence too?'

There was a high possibility it was gate occurrence to make the protagonist an acting instructor.

There wouldn't be a suitable excuse to go to another class and seduce women.

Looking at the school schedule, there was an inter-class competition, but it was from May.

"Just because the instructors agreed doesn't mean they acknowledge you. It's just a second-best measure to minimize damage."

Instructors are always busy.

Besides managing cadets, they were in charge of various fields like predicting gate occurrences, evacuating civilians, rescue, subjugation, etc.

Simply put, it was like working as a teacher while also doubling as police and firefighter.

"Don't be cocky, don't be arrogant, don't be overconfident. Don't let your guard down just because it's an F-rank gate, and show thorough movement for everyone."

These words might seem like nagging at first glance, but they carried weight.

The highest injury rate during academy training was in first-year gate practice.

"Always enter first in every situation and come out last. Being an acting instructor isn't just another line on your resume. You must take that much responsibility."

Instructor Kim Seokgu stopped there.

Then he clapped twice, and a large board rose from the floor.

The first thing that caught my eye were the keywords written in large letters.

It seemed he would start with the keywords and explain one by one.

"Now I'll get to the main point. First, the class you'll be in charge of is..."

The most important thing in tomorrow's gate was just one thing.

Finding Kim Minsu's heroine, once that's resolved, the rest didn't matter.

'I don't get overly immersed in novel characters.'

The lives of cadets? The instructor's responsibility? I can't say they're not important.

They're all precious and alive, but in the end, they're just combinations of letters.

'I'm sorry, but my priorities are different, Instructor.'

It was unavoidable.

"...Therefore, you'll be deployed to the class in pairs. So that two of you can fulfill the role of one instructor."

""Yes sir!""

Instructor Kim Seokgu's gate explanation was fast and concise.

He explained everything clearly, from the number of people to who to watch out for, brief abilities, and roles to play.

"Then I'll be going now."

"Alright... Oh right, Cadet Baek Taeyang, go see Instructor Ryu."

"Pardon?"

"You need to choose a weapon, and I'd like to help you choose, but I have work to do."

Instructor Ryu is in charge of research, so she'll choose a good weapon for you, those words seeped sweetly into my ears.

I thought I couldn't make a point of contact right away, but an opportunity came immediately.

But when did all the talking finish, it was a processing speed invisible to the eye.

"Where should I go?"

"Go straight that way and turn left, that's the weapon supply room. Everything's been discussed already, so you just need to go there."

"Yes, thank you."

"Then everyone's dismissed, let's see each other in top condition tomorrow."

Kim Seokgu coolly left after saying everything he needed to.

He said he had urgent business, but I didn't expect him to disappear so quickly.

"Taeyang, should I go with you?"

"Huh? Why you?"

"J-just..."

Did he suddenly develop a sense of tact, why is he suddenly asking to go together?

He looked like he was reluctant about me meeting Ryu Hyemi alone.

But so what, he had no excuse to follow along.

"Is there a need? I won't even be using a sword in the first place."

Swords were for protagonists to use.

What's so cool about a crude sword with no special features.

I wasn't interested in any famous swords, divine swords, or demon swords from novels or comics.

Also, a sword didn't seem to match the delinquent image.

I wanted an axe, hammer, or iron chain that could enhance the ominous impression.

'Because that's cool.'

Everyone has different standards for what's cool, but at least for me it was.

"M-me! I know a lot about weapons other than swords too."

You still can't control your decibels, huh.

"It's fine, let's just rest well and see each other tomorrow."

Minsu looked like he wanted to say more, but eventually nodded.

Maybe because of the aftermath of the sparring, he became more docile than before and easier to handle.

"Minsu, and Yumin's been having a hard time lately"

I decided to scratch Kim Minsu's heart a little as I was about to leave.

"Huh..? She, she said that to you?"

As he became easier to handle, it also became easier to scratch him gently.

"I thought she would have told you too, so I said it... sorry."

"Ah, no... It's all because I'm inadequate..."

"But isn't it a bit much to not lean on other women because of that?"

"Uh... huh? Huh?!"

It was a face that had been hit right on the mark.

There weren't many ways to delay Kim Minsu from completing his harem pure love as much as possible.

If a man and woman like each other, they can start dating in the blink of an eye.

Just look at Yumin and me, we mixed tongues and flesh in an instant.

But that was only possible if you have a lot of dating experience.

"I happened to see. Holding hands in the counseling room... ugh."

First, plant the seed of suspicion with 'Another man knows about your girlfriend's worries.'

Then sprinkle guilt with the nuance of 'You know that's practically cheating, right?'

This way, Kim Minsu will suspect his girlfriend while also feeling guilty.

As a result, Kim Minsu becomes reluctant to make contact with other women.

"Treat Yumin well, Minsu, this is just getting by this time."

I gave off the nuance of 'How can you consult about worries with someone who holds hands with other women?'

Minsu couldn't say anything and just stared at the ground. Even if he's dense, he should have understood this.

"I'm... sorry..."

"Don't apologize to me, be honest with Yumin later and tell her everything."

"...Okay..."

Actually, at times like this, it's best not to say anything.

There's no need to step forward and say 'I held hands with another woman and rubbed my face on her breasts.'

That's not being honest, it's being stupid, and it's the same as picking a fight.

'That's how everyone breaks up originally.'

First love succeeding? That's foolish talk.

Immature love doesn't turn mature.

It just drags on and eventually rots.

'I'll take them away one by one slowly.'

I left Minsu behind as he stared blankly at the ground.

No matter how much he thinks alone, he won't find an answer, how foolish.

My steps towards the weapon supply room were light.

'I probably can't do anything with Hyemi right away.'

I couldn't undress her while choosing weapons together.

It might be possible between cadets, but between a cadet and an instructor, it was really high difficulty.

The idea of 'You're a teacher, and I'm a student' would be firmly ingrained in her mind.

On top of that, she was a grown woman who had only looked at Kim Minsu.

It wouldn't be easy, but there were ways.

'I should be able to do some groundwork.'

No matter how impregnable the castle, she's still a virgin.

Virgins can never beat Baek Taeyang.

A result of both body and mind being thoroughly subjugated awaited.
