My On*Hole Academy [EN]: Chapter 564

EP.562 A Solution to the Dangerous Birth Rate

*

Eunseo, who had a dinner appointment with Sanghyeok, stood in front of the mirror with a nervous expression.

Her long, celadon-colored hair was elegantly styled in a half-updo, cascading down to her waist, enhancing her beauty. Her fair skin, clear violet eyes…

Dressed in a form-fitting evening dress, Eunseo awaited the time to meet the VVIP.

Even for the president of a country, this meeting was nerve-wracking.

S-Class Hero Onaholeman.

The feeling she had when meeting him was now quite different.

Their first meeting at the Academy. Back then, she thought of his abilities as being on par with Isabella’s assistant.

One year later.

Kim Sanghyeok himself had built up tremendous recognition and grown significantly, but that wasn’t all.

With the framework of nations crumbling due to the interference of external entities caused by the global abnormal gravity waves…

S-Class Hunters with authority were elevated beyond the standard to SS-Class Hunters and had their names listed in the ‘World Hunter Association.’

Kim Sanghyeok would be the second name in Korea, after Seridwen Evelyn, to ascend to the throne of Master Hunter,

and the world was changing in a different sense than before.

Controlled authority is an incredible power.

Even if it was an ability once branded as dangerous and almost eliminated with a villainous label, Kim Sanghyeok’s case of overcoming all trials and

making it his own power was extremely rare worldwide.

Eunseo had to hope that he would remain friendly to Korea.

The weight of power on the scales was completely different from their first meeting.

His influence rivaled national power, and the title of Master Hunter was merely a natural consequence.

So this meeting was not a luxurious event where the president of a country meets with a citizen, but rather a preliminary exploration to gauge the mood of a powerful figure.

And that exploration ended surprisingly anticlimactically. Sanghyeok didn’t seem to have any major demands from Eunseo.

“Is the meal to your liking?”

Fine dining for VVIPs.

Inside the restaurant, overflowing with luxurious lighting.

Sanghyeok, sitting across from Eunseo, nodded.

“It’s delicious. Though the portion is a bit small.”

“Please enjoy it slowly. There are many courses left.”

Sanghyeok really didn’t refuse and ate heartily. He even scraped the sauce off the plate meticulously.

Eunseo hesitated, not touching the food.

Her lips quivered.

To think that the fate of a country rested on her, on her relationship with this man, it was suffocating.

Ironically.

Every time he solved various problems in Korea, he absorbed authority, the power of God, and grew even stronger…

The fact that he was now growing so strong as to potentially overshadow the country created a kind of imbalance in perception.

The people take it for granted that heroes serve them.

Even though they are grateful that Halfie [referring to Sanghyeok] solved the disaster, they think of it as evidence that the system is working correctly.

But the top executives, like Eunseo, have a different perspective.

What cannot be controlled cannot be called a system.

This kind of transformation is already happening in the world. ‘Domains with strong discipline’ are confronting national-based systems head-on, shaking up the world situation.

In simple terms, the hunters and heroes who have become powerful are now challenging the established order.

To survive in a changing world, one might have to abandon everything and join Sanghyeok’s domain, like boarding Noah’s Ark.

Such a situation might come to pass.

Perhaps it’s too forward-thinking.

But what’s clear is that Sanghyeok could overthrow the country if he wanted to…

Now, even his casual remarks and gestures could not be dismissed as light signals by Eunseo.

“We… we’ve brought in chefs with great skills. There are even people who prepare my food at the Blue House [the Korean presidential residence].”

“That’s an honor.”

“Thank you so much for this time.”

Bowing deeply, Eunseo lowered her head.

“If there’s anything you want as compensation for this, I’ll do my best to grant it.”

“…Compensation?”

She tensed up.

Eunseo, who was an S-Class Hunter… Even if she wasn’t as talented as her friend, Kim Sanghyeok’s aura, armed with all sorts of authority, seemed like a collection of monsters.

Was it a virtual fear created by vague imagination? Or a glimpse of a real hellscape?

“I’m fine.”

But the tension suddenly dissipated.

The currents swirling around Sanghyeok suddenly subsided, and Eunseo no longer felt any pressure.

The fear vanished as soon as she saw Sanghyeok’s kind eyes.

“I’m a hero, after all. Ah… Do heroes get paid here too?”

“Yes, Mana Stones or… points… or this time, something even more precious or valuable…”

“I’ll tell you if I think of anything. I don’t have anything right now. Isabella scolds me if I get weird stuff…”

“…”

Isabella.

The steel-willed student council president of…

A woman with a strong sense of justice. The fact that such a female hero was pregnant with Sanghyeok’s child was, in hindsight, a very fortunate thing.

“I also have a wife who is pregnant, so I just did what I had to do.”

“…Thank you for saying that.”

“Please give more to Gaeun than to me. Ah… How’s the situation? The hospital must be in chaos.”

Because it was an expected flow of conversation, Eunseo calmly recited what she knew.

According to the report she received before coming here.

“For three days, thousands of babies wore the shells of sin and became Halfies, and most of them returned to normal. But…”

“There were also children who were injured before returning to normal, right?”

“Yes. The situation can be said to have improved, but the big problem is… a social atmosphere has been created where people are very afraid of childbirth and pregnancy.”

“…”

“Because it was such a shocking incident… I think the aftermath will be significant.”

Currently, composite photos are being spread online to create a sense of fear.

Or the appearance of a real Halfie baby is being filmed and spread indiscriminately.

“Is that so?”

“Ah! I’m definitely not blaming Sanghyeok. Sanghyeok did a really good job… He saved this country from almost being destroyed.”

“…”

Sanghyeok stopped Akasha in the shortest amount of time.

Perhaps there was no way to stop Akasha faster than that in any scenario.

Still, the demonic claw marks etched into the small land of Korea remained deeply.

“What are you going to do in the future?”

“Ah… That…”

Eunseo’s mind went blank.

If she were to make him think that this country has no hope…

…In the worst case, he might immigrate. She had to stop that at all costs.

“I, it’s okay. We’re planning and implementing sufficient policies…”

“…You’re not just making empty promises you can’t keep, are you?”

“Ugh…”

Eunseo, hit right on the mark, lowered her head.

“I wasn’t elected to do politics. I was elected as a leader who is more suited to responding to abnormal gravity waves… to a changing world…”

“You’re going through a lot.”

Ah…

This wasn’t what I was trying to talk about.

Eunseo found it difficult to understand her own heart, which was becoming more and more relieved by seeing Sanghyeok’s kind eyes.

Her emotions fluctuated.

What was certain was that it would be difficult to find such an attractive male again in this lifetime.

…Thump… Thump…

‘It would be nice to have someone like him as my husband…♥’

Flustered.

Eunseo stared blankly at Sanghyeok with slightly unfocused eyes, then made eye contact and turned her head away in embarrassment.

“W, well, I, as the president, will take care of that.”

“I’ll help if there’s anything I can do.”

“…”

Eunseo hadn’t expected Sanghyeok to be so cooperative.

He doesn’t want to immigrate…?

In fact, the number of people fleeing overseas has increased significantly since the Halfie incident. If there hadn’t been a group like 「Let’s trust Hero Onaholeman and hold on」, the exodus would have been even worse.

“…Pro-birth policies.”

“…Are you going to face it head-on?”

“I’m thinking of focusing all the nation’s efforts on somehow dispelling the negative image that has been placed on childbirth…”

“…Hmm. For example?”

“Continuously exposing healthy babies and happy mothers in the media, or…”

“Ah.”

“Actively using… parenting programs… too…”

Even as she spoke, it became less and less realistic.

“We’ll also have support policies for newlyweds. Um…”

“I don’t know about parenting programs, but it might be helpful if Isabella took some advertising photos after giving birth.”

“…”

“Seridwen too.”

“Seridwen is pregnant too!?”

Eunseo raised her voice in surprise, then lowered it again.

It was understandable that she was surprised when her classmate and Master Hunter suddenly said she was pregnant.

“Ah… Didn’t she tell you? I thought she would have told you since you’re close friends, Madam President.”

“She didn’t say anything…”

“Maybe she’s been busy with screenings and stuff recently…”

Certainly, rather than running a public service advertisement about pregnancy, if the heroes Isabella and Seridwen, who have tremendous national recognition, give birth to healthy babies…

The effect of improving the bad perception would be really enormous.

“Could you ask her once? If it’s okay to announce it on a large scale…”

“Is the country announcing it…? She might be a little embarrassed…”

“It’s a necessary thing… Ah… And… It’s also a well-known fact that Sanghyeok is dating various women…”

“…”

Sanghyeok briefly wondered if this situation, which was only benefiting him, was also due to the Lucky Pervert skill. But even if he worried, there was nothing he could do about what had already happened.

“I won’t be able to make an issue of it.”

“I’m afraid that we’ll end up with a society where I’m just a stud, spreading seeds for the sole purpose of pregnancy.”

“…”

“…”

Haha, Sanghyeok threw out a joke while laughing.

But Eunseo closed her mouth because it didn’t sound like a joke.

A strange silence lingered for a moment.

….

“…That was a vulgar joke. I’m sorry.”

“Ahaha…”

Eunseo felt a tremor in her uterus and was seized by a strange excitement.

A feeling like a soft erection even though she didn’t have one.

A feeling of her brain getting hot and melting away.

A strong signal to bring the sperm of the male in front of her into her body.

Thump, thump.

‘Why is this happening…’

Her body seemed to be forcibly entering an ovulation state.

Every time she saw Sanghyeok smile, every time she made eye contact, these moments of eating together were happy, so happy.

A feeling of being deeply satisfied as a female.

How wonderful would it be if she could be held.

She tried to distract herself with food, but even the act of putting a spoon in her mouth became sensual.

“Even if I end up being a stud, please tell me if you need my help. I’m included in the nation’s total efforts, right?”

“Yes. I’m relying on you.”

For the upcoming 「Pregnancy and Childbirth Promotion Policy」…

Kim Sanghyeok’s help may be indispensable.

Eunseo was thinking blankly with her heated brain.
