"Harin, if I work hard, can I become as strong as you?"
"Harin, you'll definitely earn the title of Swordmaster."
"I believe in you. You're not just a great friend—you're my idol…"
Those were all things Kang Juhyeok had said to Seol Harin.
Kang Juhyeok was the only friend who treated her comfortably.
A precious person who admired and cheered for her.
If he had seen her make that kowtow slave declaration…
'I don't want that…!'
It was a feeling she could only describe as horrifying.
But, on the other hand, she also thought:
'Would Juhyeok… help me…?'
Would Kang Juhyeok lift her up,
And give that delinquent a piece of his mind?
Even if he couldn't throw a punch, maybe he'd deliver a sharp verbal jab?
Normally, Seol Harin would never expect such a thing.
But right now, her heart was crumbling.
She desperately needed someone's help.
However.
"Huh? He just ran off?"
"…"
From Kim Taeyang's words, it seemed Kang Juhyeok had fled.
Seol Harin let out a bitter scoff.
A sigh laced with self-mockery.
'What was I expecting…? There's no way Juhyeok would step in…'
Even if Kim Taeyang was a nobody delinquent, he had Glacis.
If Juhyeok challenged him, he'd get pummeled to a pulp.
Taking on an opponent you can't beat is foolish.
Besides, Juhyeok wasn't the type to get involved in something like this.
'This is my problem. I have to solve it myself.'
"Watching your girlfriend kowtow to another guy and running away? That's straight-up pathetic!"
"…He's not my boyfriend."
"Oh? What, just a friend then?"
"Yes. Just a friend, nothing more, nothing less."
Seol Harin's voice was as cold as the asphalt touching her forehead.
"Got it. Now get up."
"…"
Seol Harin stood with a hardened expression.
The crowd around her was still buzzing, but their petty gossip didn't even register.
"Now let me talk to Glacis… no, Pomi."
"Heh heh heh."
Kim Taeyang flashed his pearly whites and slung an arm over Seol Harin's shoulder.
His massive frame made even his arm feel heavy.
"Hey, sow. Don't you think you're being a bit shameless? Shouldn't you at least serve as my slave for a day before making demands?"
"Ugh…"
As expected.
This guy was toying with her.
She'd prepared herself for this.
For now, she had no choice but to follow his orders.
Kim Taeyang barked at the surrounding students.
"Hey! You lot! Stop staring and scram!!"
Scramble.
At his words, the students' footsteps quickened.
With his arm still around Seol Harin, Kim Taeyang dragged her along.
"W-Where are we going?"
"Huh? A slave daring to talk back with so many questions!!"
"…"
Kim Taeyang kept heading toward a secluded area.
Seol Harin, tense, could only swallow hard.
"Are you… really going to… do that?"
"Hey! If I wasn't gonna do anything, what was the point of making you my slave?! Get ready, 'cause I'm not stopping until you're begging for mercy!!!"
A chill ran through her body.
Only then did she feel the texture of Kim Taeyang's forearm.
'It's huge and solid… No, it's beyond solid—it's hard…'
His body wasn't just firm—it was rock-hard.
His size was overwhelming.
He probably weighed at least twice as much as her.
A man with such a beastly physique
Would surely have that just as massive and hard.
With his delinquent attitude, she'd be utterly crushed.
She'd be used as a mere tool to sate his desires,
And her purity would be shattered…
Thump! Thump…!
Thinking about what was about to happen, her heart raced.
She assumed it was out of fear,
But her body was gradually heating up.
'Why am I getting hot…?'
Seol Harin's face flushed red.
Her body was more honest than she realized.
The entrance exam spans an entire week.
Even after the preliminaries, the number of students is still significant.
As a player, there's not much to do during this time.
You go through the predetermined duel exam, watch a couple of event scenes, and that's it.
You can go out, but there aren't any facilities to use.
The leftover time is usually skipped.
But veteran players never waste this period.
There's a hidden place where you can train your stamina.
"We're here."
"…?"
We arrived at the staff-only gym!
Shiny, state-of-the-art equipment welcomed us…!
"W-W-Wait a second. What are you planning to do in a place like this…?"
"Huh?! Can't you tell?!! This is the staff gym!! It's empty before the semester starts!!! We can hog all this equipment to ourselves!!!"
Seol Harin's face twisted in shock.
"Y-You're excited about gym equipment?! How perverse…!"
"Huh—?"
I could guess what she was thinking.
To a delinquent like Kim Taeyang, she probably assumed I was here to assault her.
She must think I brought her to a gym because of some weird fetish.
Hey! How narrow-minded can you be?! Hey!!!
"Don't just throw around the word 'pervert'!! Go change into these!!!"
I tossed her some workout clothes.
Basic gym-provided short-sleeve shirt and shorts.
"You're into clothes with no exposure?! You're truly a disgusting pervert!!"
"KONOYARO!!!!! Stop talking back, you sow!!!!!"
"Ugh…!!"
Seol Harin, humiliated, headed to the changing room.
As expected of a adult game heroine, her mind is full of dirty thoughts.
But don't worry.
I'll train you until that head of yours is completely empty.
"…Are you satisfied now?"
Her face was flushed as she tried to cover herself.
Wearing baggy shorts and a t-shirt, what was she even hiding?
Anyway.
I gave her my first order.
"Ragh! Bodyweight squats, 100 reps, go!!"
"Tch… You even want specific acts…?"
"You gotta sweat a bit before getting to the 'main workout,' don't you?!!!"
"Liking sweat?! You're beyond perverse…!!"
She kept sneering at me but obediently followed orders.
Truly the compliance of a latent masochist.
The reason for training Seol Harin's stamina is simple.
She's a character with low endurance.
She's trained her whole life in swordsmanship, so it's not like she's lazy.
It's just that her innate stamina stat is low.
Right now, her endurance is average, but it falls behind as the story progresses, becoming a hindrance by the mid-game.
To prevent that, she needs to build stamina now, bit by bit.
"99… 100…! Hoo."
She completed 100 bodyweight squats in one go.
I loaded plates onto the barbell for the next warm-up.
"Next, 40kg squats, 10 reps!"
"…I've already sweated enough."
"Hey! That little sweat isn't enough!! You need to be dripping all over the floor, don't you?!!"
"Filthy… The epitome of filth…"
As expected, she performed well this time too.
But what if we up the weight?
"60kg, 5 reps! Ragh!"
"Ugh…!"
"80kg, 3 reps! Ragh!!"
"Urgh…!"
"100kg, 1 rep!! Ragh! Ragh!!"
"Tch… Too… heavy…!"
"Huh?! Already tired?! We haven't even started the 'main workout'!!!"
Seol Harin's legs trembled as she completed the 100kg squat.
See?
You can do it.
I've dabbled in the gym enough to know—if you push to your limit, it gets done.
Thud!
Seol Harin collapsed onto the floor.
"More… to go…?"
"I'll spot you, so we're emptying the tank with the empty bar until the end!! Report every time you hit your limit and lose it!!!"
"W-Wait…!"
I forcibly pulled her up and placed the bar on her shoulders.
Standing behind her, I had her start the exercise again.
"Hey, hey!!! Don't half-ass it—move that butt properly!!!!"
"It's… my limit!!! I can't do more!! Even an empty bar is too much…!!!"
She admitted to "losing it" after just a few reps.
But she still had the energy to yell.
"Shut it, sow! If that's the case, why's your erector spinae standing tall like that?!!!"
"Gah! Gah!! My quads are losing it again…!!!"
"Keep track of how many times you lose it!! We need to log it in the workout journal!!! Get down now!! Ragh!!!!"
"I'm losing it again…!!!"
This is a workout method no ordinary person could follow.
Since possessing Kim Taeyang, I studied hero weight training.
Heroes have superior physiques, so intense training yields exceptional results.
For efficiency, training until your muscles are completely wrecked is the best approach.
Of course, regular people should never train like this.
It could lead to death in extreme cases.
'Don't try this at home.'
Thud…
As I lifted the bar, Seol Harin collapsed again.
She was bent over, butt sticking out, like she was bowing.
Her thighs, legs, and glutes were spasming from the brutal workout.
She probably didn't even have the energy to care how ridiculous she looked.
Truly an excellent training session!
But it's not over yet.
There's a saying that eating is part of training.
I grabbed a cup from the gym, mixed a protein shake, and added one crucial powder.
A drug derived from Kim Taeyang's "skill."
◆ Drug Chance
[Description]
- Adds drugs to specific foods to induce status effects.
- Effects can be combined to create custom drugs.
◆ Effect List
[Beginner Aphrodisiac]
- Slightly enhances the target's libido.
- Enhancement Level: Throb x1
- The base for all drug creation.
[Beginner Recovery Agent]
- Restores the target's body.
- Recovery Level: Low
[Locked Effects]
- Unlock more effects using NTR points!
The Drug Chance skill wasn't just about slipping someone a potion.
It allowed the creation of drugs by mixing various effects.
The only effect unlocked by default was the Beginner Aphrodisiac.
The Beginner Recovery Agent was unlocked using points earned from NTR-ing Pomi.
Having to mix the Beginner Aphrodisiac into every drug is a risk…
But we've got to test it, right?
"Hey, time for protein supplementation."
Seol Harin's face twisted at my words.
"P-Protein…? Don't tell me… you're trying to make me drink that from your… thing…?"
"Huh?! Why're you suddenly using pronouns like that?!!! Stop spouting nonsense and drink the protein I personally made!!!!"
"P-Personally made…?"
Too exhausted to stand, Seol Harin just looked up at me.
"It's common sense to refuel with a protein shake after a workout, isn't it?! Open your mouth!!!"
"Ahh…?"
She couldn't shake her suspicious expression.
But she obediently opened her mouth.
I poured the shake into her mouth.
The white shake fell in an elegant arc, landing on her red tongue and splashing messily.
"Hey, hey!!! Don't waste it by letting it drip!!!! Lick up every drop that hits the floor!!! This stuff's expensive!!!!!"
"Y-Yes…♡"
"?"
What was that?
Her voice just now… sounded kinda sultry.
Could the aphrodisiac's effect be kicking in already…?
Nah, no way a little bit of that would cause a problem, right?
