Chapter 40

The Velvet Hunter Academy accepted anyone with awakened powers and the talent to become a hunter, regardless of their background.

However, those who awakened special powers at a young age tended to enter the hunter world early.

After all, with a bit of luck, one could strike it rich and gain fame in a single dungeon exploration.

Most of the students who enrolled in the Velvet Hunter Academy had experienced such a turbulent adolescence.

The Academy was well aware that if they simply threw these students into a single dormitory without any measures, it could turn into a living hell.

Therefore, the Academy divided the dormitories where students resided into five different buildings.

Dormitory for damage dealers,

[ Hall of Bravery]

Dormitory for tankers,

[ Hall of Perseverance]

Dormitory for specials,

[ Hall of Reason]

Dormitory for healers,

[ Hall of Healing]

Dormitory for supporters,

[ Hall of Devotion]

They were classified by position like this.

However, since the criteria for classification were just that, the atmosphere in each dormitory varied significantly.

The 'Hall of Healing' and 'Hall of Devotion', where healers and supporters resided, were relatively quiet as they were mostly shy men.

The 'Hall of Reason', the dormitory for specials, had an equal gender ratio, but everyone tended to mind their own business, following their own path.

On the other hand,

The 'Hall of Perseverance', where female tankers were the majority, boasted strong camaraderie.

Lastly, the dormitory for damage dealers, the Hall of Bravery.

Here, like the Hall of Perseverance, most of the students were female, but instead of forming close bonds, they tended to establish a hierarchy based on strength.

Occasionally, a male ranged damage dealer would enter, but they were at the bottom of the pecking order, and their appearance made it obvious why they were damage dealers, so the students of the Hall of Bravery didn't pay much attention to the males in their dormitory.

However, this year was different.

Male damage dealer.

Male quota student.

Jin Yuha.

With all the rumors surrounding him, he had come to the Hall of Bravery.

"Is he really that handsome?"

"...He's definitely a hunk. I only saw him briefly during the group sparring finals from the audience seats, but even then, his face stood out."

"So, when is he coming?"

The girls who had arrived at the dormitory earlier were whispering excitedly, their eyes gleaming dangerously.

"Hey, hey! Over there!"

Then, a girl shouted, pointing at the entrance.

"Where, where!?"

"There!"

The girls' gazes converged on a single spot.

Thud thud─

Thud thud─

Thud thud─

"..."

"..." "

..."

A heavy silence fell, as if even their breaths had stopped.

The male damage dealers they had seen so far were usually muscular and had a bald head.

But Jin Yuha.

Somewhere between a boy and a man.

His black hair, like jet, flowed with a smooth sheen,

and his transparent, snow-white skin was flawless, without a single blemish.

The tear mole at the corner of his eye stimulated protective instincts, and his decadent gaze exuded a fatal, dangerous charm.

Yet, he wasn't frail or delicate.

He had a tall stature, broad shoulders, and a neatly tailored student uniform.

A sword hung at his waist.

Unlike other males who tended to look cowed when they were around girls, he exuded confidence and walked with a bold stride.

Up close, Jin Yuha exuded an elegant aura that was almost aristocratic.

His arrival had momentarily left the girls speechless, but they soon began to whisper and gossip among themselves.

"...Wow, if someone's too handsome, you lose your memory for a moment."

A girl gaped, her mouth hanging open.

"Hey, are we… going to be in the same dormitory as that guy?"

"Well, at least the rooms are separated…!"

"Sigh. Can you handle that? I don't think I can."

The girls swallowed their saliva, captivated by his face.

"...Wow, if someone's too handsome, you lose your memory for a moment."

"He's at his peak right now. Shouldn't we harvest him now? Or should we wait a year for him to get even more handsome?"

"Is he hitting on me with his face? He's flirting with his looks, huh."

"Why is he a hunter?"

"...Wow, if someone's too handsome, you lose your memory for a moment."

"Cut it out. You bitch."

Whack!

The girl next to her slapped the girl who was staring blankly on the back of her head.

The girl who had been slapped suddenly raised her head and spoke in a hurried tone.

"I, I, I suddenly need to use the bathroom! I'll be right back!!!"

Her friend, who was looking at her with pity, nodded and spoke.

"...Make sure to open the windows to ventilate when you're done… And text me when you're done."

"Okay!!!"

Thud thud─

Jin Yuha's arrival at the Hall of Bravery caused quite a stir among the students.

.

.

.

On the way to the dormitory I had been assigned to, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with all the gazes directed at me.

'Sigh, what the… Are there only girls here?'

In the Velvet game, there were a few male damage dealers even though there were no male tankers, but all I could see around me were girls.

They all had predatory looks on their faces, as if they were about to pounce on me, and I felt uncomfortable under their intense stares.

'Ugh, let's just get to the dorm quickly.'

I hurried forward, keeping my gaze fixed ahead.

Thud.

Suddenly, a hand shot out from the side and blocked my path.

"What's up?"

I turned my head and saw a girl.

"Hee- Hi."

She greeted me with a toothy smile. I narrowed my eyebrows and scrutinized her.

'Who the hell is this?'

A muscular body, tanned skin, and thick makeup on her face, giving her a gyaru look.

A character I didn't remember.

'An extra character…? Hmm, no, it's too early to judge. It could be a case like Instructor Baek.'

Of course, due to the nature of the game as a Bonsai game, the stronger the character, the more beautiful they tended to be.

But this woman in front of me was a bit… ambiguous.

'Is this a character targeting this kind of taste…?'

The world is full of diverse and broad tastes, but this was far from my conventional and sensible preferences.

'Let's hear what she has to say first.'

I looked at her and opened my mouth.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a B-grade hunter, damage dealer, Kim Okja."

'Her parents really went too far with that name.'

(I'm not sure but Okja is the name of a famous film in Korea, in there Okja was a genetically modified super pig)

.

.

.

Kim Okja.

She had been active as a B-grade hunter and entered the Velvet Academy with high expectations.

'Hoo, that test was really tough. And what's with this three-week basic training nonsense? Tsk.'

But that was all behind her now.

The long three-week training was finally over, and she was no longer a prospective student but a regular student.

'Now, all I have to do is graduate from the Academy, and everything will be smooth sailing.'

Then, she heard a rumor.

'...What!? He just got accepted without taking any tests because he's a guy!?

Hearing this news, she couldn't contain the anger boiling inside her.

She had even given up drinking and smoking, things she liked so much, and endured the lack of companionship with men, which she couldn't live without.

She had gone through such a difficult test to enter the Velvet Hunter Academy, and now someone had just waltzed in without any tests because he was a guy! It was infuriating.

So, she had originally planned to personally teach him a lesson.

But,

-…Hey, leave him alone. Cheonhwa's got his back.

Cheonhwa.

A name she couldn't ignore.

Even before becoming an adult, she was already famous for achieving feats that surpassed those of veteran hunters.

Of course, Kim Okja thought that it was all because of her family's influence as a hunter lineage, but even so, the name Cheonhwa was intimidating, and she hadn't dared to take action.

'But I heard that Cheonhwa was rejected by him recently.'

She heard an unbelievable rumor that Cheonhwa had clung to this man's ankles and cried.

At the time, she had thought it was just a rumor, but…

Now that she saw him in person, it didn't seem so unbelievable after all. This face was so handsome that it wouldn't be strange if Cheonhwa had clung to his ankles and cried.

'Huhuhu, so. You're not into soft and gentle girls, huh?'

Kim Okja had originally intended to teach him a lesson, but the moment she saw his face, everything else became irrelevant.

His appearance was so shocking that it made all the men she had seen so far seem like worthless trash.

Of course, the fact that Cheonhwa had clung to him meant that he had a great deal of pride in his looks.

Cheonhwa was too gentle and naive to know how to deal with guys like him, but Kim Okja knew exactly how to handle these types of men.

'All you have to do is put a guy under a woman and make him whine. He might resist at first, but he'll come to like it later. Hehe.'

Kim Okja licked her lips, eyeing her prey.

'Hmm, those buttocks are firm. I want to grab them tightly.'

Her sticky gaze shifted towards Jin Yuha's lower body.

'Why not give it a try?'

Desire welled up inside her, urging her on after a long time of abstaining from men.

In fact, the front was what she was most curious about, but it would be too much to do that in a public place with so many people around.

Grabbing his buttocks would be fine since it could be passed off as an accident.

"Ah.I.Ku!"

Sliiiide─

Pretending that her hand had slipped as she leaned against the wall, she brought her hand towards his buttocks.

Then.

Thud.

Her hand was firmly blocked by something.

'Who the hell is it?'

With a scowl, she raised her head and saw.

Messy red hair tied back.

A well-built body.

A woman with a deep frown, gripping her wrist tightly.

'K, Kang Do-hee!?'

"Hey, what are you doing, you bitch?"
