My On*Hole Academy [EN]: Chapter 19

Chapter 18 – Academy Life, Starting with Personality Ejection

*

“Umm~ Jeyuk [spicy stir-fried pork] is so delicious.”

After the scarecrow measurement, it’s lunchtime.

The pork stir-fry at 「Etisol Academy」’s student cafeteria is insane!

Today, I even bought Hena’s seafood pasta, paying back the money I borrowed yesterday.

After spending a total of 9 coins, my remaining balance is 45 coins.

“It’s really good…”

“I bought it to repay you.”

“Repay? …Boobs?”

Letting me touch those boobs could be considered repayment, but…

“…”

“If you’re going to be shy about it, don’t say anything…”

“I’m embarrassed…”

“I’m talking about repaying the favor of covering for me when I was about to get expelled.”

Being able to live this academy life now is largely thanks to Hena, one way or another.

From Hena’s perspective, I was probably a person who would have disappeared if left alone.

Is that also because of gaslighting?

“Why did you feel like defending me?”

“…”

“You don’t have to answer if it’s hard to say.”

It’s not a favor that can be repaid with just one meal, so I’m planning to repay her a bit more.

I also feel like I need to be by Hena’s side.

But I’m not sure if having me, the protagonist of a hentai game, next to her, who is supposedly a 「super perverted body」, is a plus or a minus.

I’m worried that 「OnaAka」’s random erotic events (horniness) might be waiting for me. That part is also a concern.

“Can I sit here?”

Just then, Yuuna subtly sits next to me.

“Aren’t those your friends over there?”

They’re looking at you with bewildered expressions.

“I decided to eat with Hena today.”

“Then why next to me?”

“…”

I can feel her eyes pleading for me to just let it go.

“Should I not sit then?”

“Please, sit down, Princess. I shall offer you tribute to soothe your anger.”

I give her some of my precious pork stir-fry.

“Hmm hmm. I have mapo tofu, is that okay?”

It’s time for our usual side dish exchange.

“I’m not picky.”

“I… can’t eat spicy food…”

“Then should Hena have dumplings? Ah, give them to me without the shrimp.”

“Okay, I like dumplings.”

We dip into each other’s menus.

The mapo tofu is good too. I’ll have that next time.

“Did you both prepare for the next class?”

“What’s the next class?”

“You really live life moderately, Kim Sanghyuk.”

“Was that a bit ‘D’ [dense/clueless]?”

I belatedly turn on the academy app and check, and it turns out the afternoon is dungeon exploration.

“Are we even going outside?”

“Outside? What are you talking about?”

Yuuna seemed to recall that I was a truant and explained in detail.

Surprisingly, it seems the academy has a system that creates dozens of dungeon entrances within its grounds.

Am I the only one attending the academy without knowing this?

“Isn’t it dangerous? What’s the good of having dungeons in the academy?”

“It allows students to grow safely. There’s nothing as dangerous as jumping into this world empty-handed.”

“Because it’s a controlled environment?”

“Yeah. Compared to dungeons that occur in various remote areas, the dungeons within Etisol Academy have less variability. It’s a major characteristic of Korean land.”

‘Less variability.’

In other words, there’s less chance of encountering dangerous situations inside. That seemed to be the meaning.

“Is the situation different in other countries?”

“It’s dangerous. There are cases where transcendent-level monsters roam around in an unmanageable state, so the list of travel-banned countries is updated every month.”

“A capable hunter would be needed anywhere.”

The status of hunters must be no joke.

That means I can expect a considerable income.

‘It’s all starting to make sense.’

The protagonist of 「OnaAka」 grows by collecting Onaholes [artificial sex toys].

If I think about the reason for having such a cheat ability, it’s probably to turn the protagonist, who was just a D-class trash, into a respectable hunter.

The ultimate goal of this hentai game. For the sake of the harem.

There will be many heroines in the hunter industry.

Yuuna, when you think about it, is also a pro hunter, so she’s one of the heroines in that field.

This leads to the conclusion that this is one of the game’s regular routes.

‘This must be the answer.’

My roommate Lee Suhyun─an OnaAka player, the one who sent me here─’s grumbling is helpful at times like this.

Seeing that he was hooked on it for over 200 hours, OnaAka isn’t just a simple hentai game.

A simulation game with the concept of growing the protagonist or heroines….

Then the 「Hunter Route」, which requires honest growth, is perfect for me.

I’ve given up on the expectation of a decent, stable job. High risk, high return. A hunter who earns a lot of money is the best.

I just need to avoid those disgusting events like 「Villain Route」, 「The Worst Villain Onahole Man」….

“Is there anything else you’re curious about?”

Even with all this, Yuuna is the type of person who likes to take care of others. She’s trying to help me without showing any signs of annoyance.

Her slightly smug face even looked lovely.

“Does less variability mean that Korean dungeons are easy?”

“Of course. That’s why there are so many prestigious academies in Korea. Because the environment only produces relatively weak dungeons. Countries like Russia, which start at a minimum of A-class, have a very difficult time nurturing rookies.”

It’s only right that a level 1 slime appears in front of a hero who has just set out on an adventure.

If an level 80 dragon appeared from the start, they would all die.

It’s a welcome thing that Korea is a good environment for getting stronger in stages.

“But, have you been holed up somewhere all this time? You could find out just by watching the news, but you’re asking me.”

“I was watching anime at home.”

Heh. I lightly evade Yuuna’s questioning.

As soon as I mentioned anime, she immediately lost the will to ask further.

Ah, what are you going to do about me watching anime at home?

“What anime?”

Just then, Hena reacts.

I never thought there would be an academy girl in this world who would be interested in the topic of anime.

“Yeah, what anime? What anime?”

If I say I’ve never seen any anime in this world, she’ll be greatly disappointed.

What should I say….

“It’s an anime with a lot of pretty girls, so Hena wouldn’t know it.”

I listed a genre that girls would never watch.

“Could it be 「Roughly Another World Pure Love Story」?”

However, it seems I underestimated Hena’s otaku [geek/nerd] power.

For a pretty girl anime title to suddenly pop out like that.

Is she one of my kind?

The otaku sleeping inside me slightly twitched.

“What? The title sounds good?”

“It’s a very popular series. Animef’s No. 1 of the year! If you haven’t seen it yet, you have to watch it!”

As expected, pure love is the mainstream in this world too.

I was worried that everyone secretly liked mind control, NTR [Netorare – a genre involving cheating], and tentacle stuff in the 「OnaAka」 world, where the hentai game power is crazy, shining as the No. 1 in the hentai game industry.

Realizing that pure love is a universal value, I felt relieved for some reason.

“You haven’t seen it yet? Then, would you like to watch it together at my house? I have the collector’s edition from episode 1 to 152, let’s binge-watch it together!”

“No, not that many at once…”

Hena, you weren’t the type of character to talk so excitedly in such a bright and cheerful voice!

“Then let’s try a sample first. Episode 1, no, ‘that scene’ comes out from episode 3. At least up to episode 3. Director Sakamoto was in charge of the animation and direction for episode 3, so it’s the best.

The heroine is so cute that my heart is in danger…!”

I watch Hena, speechless, as she goes on a rampage with her anime talk.

Yuuna couldn’t join the conversation either, so she was just eating mapo tofu and looking back and forth between me and Hena.

‘So this was her taste….’

It was a setting that somehow made sense.

I wondered why she came out as a nerd concept heroine when I only looked at her body and the face hidden by her bangs.

There was a plausible reason.

I feel a sense of kinship because I’m also a considerable otaku.

I also know how disappointed she would be if I refused her request to just try a sample.

“Okay. Let’s try a sample together.”

“Really? Really? When, what time? What minute? I, I already know the ending, but I’ll be quiet as if I’ve never seen it before!”

“This weekend?”

“Okay! This weekend!”

Before I knew it, I ended up having an anime viewing party with a female classmate (estimated K-cup).

If the genre is pure love, there’s no reason to refuse.

After making the choice, I couldn’t help but think that this was a capture choice [a decision that advances a romantic relationship in a game].

“Ehehe.”

If so, she has an expression that suggests she’s almost thinking about marriage.

I’m really worried. She’s the type of girl who seems like she’ll get caught by a bad guy and have a twisted fate.

I have to take care of her.

That doesn’t mean I’m going to take the opportunity to grope her chest.

If we have a normal friendship, there’s no reason to do that.

I did rush things a bit during our first meeting, but….

If I’m careful, I can avoid increasing random hentai game events and get along well within reasonable limits.

‘Could it be that we’ll fall in love in the dungeon?’

It would be fortunate if I didn’t hold back the two heroines who are stronger than me.

Afternoon class time.

Class 2-F moves back to the indoor training ground. They each went to their lockers to get the items needed to explore the dungeon.

Hena also carried a dark brown lightning-struck jujube staff, and Yuuna was also thoroughly armed with a custom belt that could be added over her uniform, unlike the sudden exploration last time, and gloves to protect her hands.

Still, to my eyes, going to the dungeon in a uniform that exposes her bare thighs still looks precarious and tough.

The important thing is that their preparedness is better than mine.

I was the only one standing alone in a hoodie with nothing.

“What is it, Kim Sanghyuk? You don’t have personal gear?”

Yuuna asks in surprise.

“…”

I do have a lewd magazine in my locker with the idol 「Lizna May」, who resembles the student council president, on the cover.

Would that be helpful?

I felt like an unfortunate student who couldn’t bring expensive supplies due to family circumstances.

And whether that pitiful aura touched Yuuna’s class president senses.

“…There’s still time left, so follow me!”

Thud.

Yuuna grabbed my hand and pulled me away.

“Oh, oh. Hena, I’ll be back in a bit.”

After leaving the indoor training ground and turning the corner of the hallway following Yuuna, a female student who seemed to be sleep-deprived was guarding the door there.

“Yuuna? What’s wrong?”

“Chen, can we take a look at the gear?”

“Kim Sanghyuk? Isn’t he D-class? It’s a bit early for him.”

“That’s, he doesn’t even have basic equipment. This guy.”

I feel somewhat embarrassed.

The female student called Chen looked me up and down from head to toe and sighed.

“He probably doesn’t know how to use it anyway. …Still, go ahead and take a look.”

“Yes!”

When the door that Chen was guarding opened, I was very surprised.

A weapon warehouse…?!

A huge variety of weapons and armor are displayed by type.

Academy students, presumed to be 「artisan」-type, were inspecting the gear or checking inventory for each gear category, doing various tasks.

“It’s the Academy B Workshop. This place probably has the most types of weapons available.”

“Can I buy weapons here?”

“Yeah. How about this?”

Yuuna immediately picked up a sword.

Honestly, I don’t have the confidence to use a sword as well as Yuuna.

More than anything.

‘It doesn’t suit personality ejection.’

I haven’t handled it that much yet, but personality ejection goes well with weapons that deliver impact.

It doesn’t go well with sharp weapons.

I could induce personality ejection to some extent just by contact, but it’s still the most satisfying when I inflict impact on the enemy’s body.

That’s why I worked so hard to move my body even when hitting the scarecrow.

It would be difficult to do that in actual combat.

“Take a look around.”

At that time, there was a weapon that caught my eye.

The king of all diseases in modern times. A gun.

I imagine myself becoming John Wick─a professional killer from a certain action movie─of the personality ejection industry in my head.

‘Personality ejection double tap, personality ejection Mozambique drill….’

That’s awesome!
