Episode 20: Kim Taeyang Knocked Out Professor Shin Hyewon…!! Just How Insane Is This Guy?!
The underwear was stretched so tight it seemed ready to tear.
Whoever made it, the durability was impressive.
“Urgh!!!!!!”
With a spirited yell, Kim Taeyang unleashed his critical underwear drop.
The serpent, pent up and stressed in the tight confines, sprang forth with ferocious momentum.
Pyooong-!
Ever heard the sound of a meat club cutting through the air?
It goes Pyooong-.
WHACK!!!!!!!
“Guh…!?”
The launched serpent struck Shin Hyewon’s jaw.
Her head snapped back, clearly taking a heavy blow.
But she was a top-tier hero.
Even with her head ringing, she didn’t faint.
So Kim Taeyang followed up with a barrage.
“Urgh!! Urgh!!!!!”
WHACK!!!!!!! WHACK!!!!!!!!!!
Shaking his hips, he landed a left hook, a right hook… a double combo…!!!
Flop-
Finally, Shin Hyewon collapsed.
Kim Taeyang loomed over her, performing a victor’s teabag.
“Huh? You passed out? Stop being useless and get up!!”
‘Please don’t get up. Stay down, I beg you…’
I was chuckling with relief when a commotion erupted outside.
“Someone’s down!”
“Are you okay?!”
Students must’ve rushed in.
I hurriedly pulled up my underwear and fastened my pants.
Even in my haste, the damn belt wouldn’t cooperate.
Clunk!
The door swung open, and the students saw everything.
‘It’s the Vice-Dean?!’
Shin Hyewon.
She was unconscious.
This was clearly an emergency.
If Ark’s second-in-command was down, it meant the threat that took her out was still here.
And that terrifying threat…
Was casually zipping up his pants.
‘This guy… he’s wearing pants…?’
The male students’ eyes quaked.
It took only seconds to process, but it felt like an eternity.
“Huh? What’re you staring at?! Get her to the infirmary!!”
“Y-Yeah! Got it…!!”
The boys carried Shin Hyewon out, their faces pale with shock.
‘Kim Taeyang knocked out Professor Shin Hyewon with his dick…!! Just how insane is this guy?!’
‘That bastard…! He even turned my first-love professor into a sex slave…!’
Kim Taeyang’s reputation was plummeting to new lows.
***
After the students took Shin Hyewon away,
Tomo-tan arrived late.
“Huhhh?! Gundaroo-kun? You took down Vice-Dean-tan…?!”
“Well, it just kinda happened.”
“Did you experience something wild in there…? Like, something huge popped out of your underwear! Vice-Dean-tan went ‘Ahn!’ and Gundaroo-kun was like ‘Hell yeah!’…!! Gasp!!!”
The dean clutched her mouth, hamming it up.
“What’s that? Some elementary school nonsense??”
“Almost said that! Gundaroo-kun, come with me for a sec!”
Why was the dean calling me?
Sure, she’s friendly toward me, but she’s not someone to let your guard down around.
Yokozawa Tomoe.
She’s an overpowered game character with monstrous abilities.
Harmless to the protagonist…
But I’m closer to a villain right now, aren’t I?
“Huh? I’m busy.”
“It’ll just take a moment!”
She flashed a playful smile, her tone as silly as ever.
But something felt off.
Like if I didn’t follow, she’d drag me along by force.
“What a hassle…”
Truth is, I’d planned to have a proper talk with Tomo-tan eventually.
She’s tied to a hidden event in the game, but triggering it takes ages.
But in this world with infinite freedom,
Activating the event is as easy as Pomi scarfing down a bulgogi burger.
“Lead the way.”
“Okay!”
Tomo-tan led Kim Taeyang to her office.
Her reason for calling him was clear.
Kim Taeyang.
His actions were far from ordinary.
“Gundaroo-kun, you know Ark’s professors think you’re a bad student, right?”
“They make it so obvious, how could I not know?”
“There’s a lot of talk about how you stole Pomi. They think you did it through dirty means.”
“Stole? I was chosen, okay?”
“Yup! I know! Tomo-tan believes in Gundaroo-kun~”
That was a lie.
She did think somewhat positively of Kim Taeyang.
But she didn’t trust him 100%.
He definitely had too many suspicious aspects.
“What does Gundaroo-kun think of his otou-san?”
“My dad, you mean?”
“Yup. Isn’t Gundaroo-kun’s otou-san known as a big deal in Korea?”
Kim Taeyang eyeing other constellations wasn’t her concern.
It was natural for strong heroes to attract strong constellations.
No method could forcibly steal a constellation!
That was Tomo-tan’s belief.
The real issue was Kim Taeyang’s background.
A student who’d gain immense power, harboring impure ideals?
Not just any impurity, but villain-level dangerous ones?
That could be a threat not just to Ark, but to all of humanity.
“I don’t really wanna talk about my dad.”
“Gasp, why? Are you on bad terms?”
“Well, it just kinda happened.”
“Hmm… I see. So, Gundaroo-kun doesn’t plan to become a ‘gundaroo’ after graduating, right?”
“Huh? Obviously not! This body’s gonna become a hero and save the world!!!”
“Oh.”
Kim Taeyang’s words sounded sincere.
But a single question couldn’t judge everything.
She’d let it slide for now, but he remained a person of interest to watch closely.
As Tomo-tan was about to send him off,
Kim Taeyang tilted his head and asked cheekily,
“By the way, Dean, how old are you?”
“How old do I look~?”
“Like a middle schooler, obviously.”
“Yup! Tomo-tan’s a cute middle school girl, 15 years old!”
It was a joke she often made.
Though it wasn’t really a joke…
Tomo-tan had been around for 50 years, and no one believed she was 15.
It was a deep loneliness.
Tomo-tan wanted to play and have friends to play with.
But she had neither time nor friends.
No one saw her as a 15-year-old.
Most people just laughed awkwardly and moved on.
She wished at least one person would believe her and indulge her childishness, But no one had the guts for that.
Except, of course, Kim Taeyang.
“Huh?!!!! You’re actually 15?!!!!!”
“Huh…? W-What? Why’s Gundaroo-kun mad…?”
Kim Taeyang’s face contorted in disbelief.
Grab!
He seized Tomo-tan by the collar.
“You little brat, acting all grown-up when you’re barely out of diapers!!!!”
“Gasp…!?”
Kim Taeyang was way crazier than she thought.
She wanted to be treated like a kid, sure, but grabbing the dean’s collar…?!
“From now on, I’m not using honorifics with you!!! Got it, you cocky brat?!!!”
“…”
She was stunned.
This wasn’t exactly what she wanted…
‘He’s really insane…’
But it was definitely different.
So different that 15-year-old Tomo-tan burst out laughing.
“Pfft… Pahahahahaha!!”
“Hey! What’s so funny?!”
“Gundaroo-kun, you’re hilarious!! Hahahahahaha!!”
After laughing her head off, Tomo-tan threw herself into Kim Taeyang’s arms and whispered,
“Special permission: From today, Gundaroo-kun can talk to me casually!”
“What nonsense?! I don’t need your permission!!!”
Regardless, Tomo-tan, who’d taken a liking to Kim Taeyang, thought to herself.
A special day was coming.
Taking Kim Taeyang to the sacred place only she could access might be fun.
***
For some reason, it was a great day.
Seol Harin’s steps toward the convenience store were practically bouncing.
It wasn’t because Kim Taeyang won the duel, she thought.
She still considered him an enemy, after all.
‘But why do I feel so good…?’
She decided not to dwell on such complicated thoughts.
Today, to celebrate Kim Taeyang’s victory, she planned to give him a small gift.
‘Hmph. It’s not like I’m doing this because I like him. I’m just returning the favor since he got me something. I can’t stand being in debt.’
With that justification, she swiftly bought ingredients.
Seol Harin’s secret technique: Spicy Soup Tteokbokki.
As she finished paying and left the convenience store, she ran into an unexpected figure.
“Harin.”
“Kang Juhyeok…?”
Kang Juhyeok.
The boy who lost to Kim Taeyang today had been recovering in the infirmary.
Seol Harin hadn’t visited him.
Kim Taeyang hadn’t allowed it…
No, more accurately, he’d been dragged off by the dean, so she couldn’t ask for permission.
She could’ve texted him, but she didn’t bother.
She figured he’d say no anyway.
“Your face is a mess.”
When Kim Taeyang slammed him down, his face had hit the ground first.
His bruised face was covered in bandages.
“…I’m sorry. I lost.”
“Why are you apologizing to me? You should be sorry to yourself.”
“I wanted to beat him… and take back Glacis for you…”
Kang Juhyeok clenched his fists tightly.
Head bowed, he was silently crying.
Seol Harin couldn’t say anything.
She didn’t know what to say.
Normally, she’d have prepared words of comfort.
Whenever Kang Juhyeok lost a tournament or failed a test, it was always Seol Harin who consoled him.
But now…
‘I didn’t even think about Juhyeok…?’
Kang Juhyeok hadn’t crossed her mind.
How could that be?
How could she not have prepared a single word of comfort for her friend of over ten years, even after witnessing his defeat?
She couldn’t understand herself.
Even more incomprehensible was the fact that…
‘I can’t be late…’
Even in this moment, Kang Juhyeok wasn’t registering in her thoughts.
He noticed the bag in Seol Harin’s hand, filled with ingredients like green onions and rice cakes.
“What’s that…?”
“Oh, this… It’s nothing.”
“Is that guy making you cook for him now?!”
Seol Harin flinched.
Her words came out hurriedly, like an excuse.
“It’s not like that. I’m doing it voluntarily… Taeyang might seem rough on the outside, but he’s got a deep side, so don’t worry too much. I’m not really being mistreated…”
She realized as soon as she said it.
Her words must’ve stabbed Kang Juhyeok’s heart even deeper.
“You’re calling him ‘Taeyang’ now…? What’s so deep about him? Are you saying you like that bastard now?!”
“That’s not what I meant—”
“Was his dick that good?!”
“What…?”
Tears streamed down Kang Juhyeok’s face.
His body trembled with rage.
Seol Harin was shaking too.
Her head rang like a bell, dizzying her.
“You think I don’t know you’re running to his room every night and morning?! You think I don’t see you coming out completely drained?! The rumors are everywhere!! That you’re Kim Taeyang’s sex slave and you’re totally into it!!! Just how big is his dick—”
SLAP!!!
“?!”
Something struck Kang Juhyeok’s cheek.
The strange thing was, it wasn’t a hand.
‘Green onion…?’
It was a green onion.
Seol Harin had slapped him with a green onion.
‘A green onion slap…?’
Getting hit with a green onion.
It was deeply humiliating and stung his eyes.
“Kang Juhyeok… I never thought my only friend would believe such fantasies instead of trusting me.”
“It’s… a fantasy?”
“Think whatever you want, you pervert. Move. I’m busy.”
Seol Harin brushed past Kang Juhyeok.
She heard his sobbing behind her but didn’t look back.
‘I wanted to prepare everything before Taeyang got back… I need to hurry.’
She imagined Kim Taeyang, surprised by her cooking skills, shouting, “Hey, hey! This is delicious, isn’t it?!”
Just picturing the prickly yet deep-down kind master praising her…
Thump~♡
Her heart couldn’t help but race.
LOL!!
