My On*Hole Academy [EN]: Chapter 84

Chapter 83 – The Female Professor Likes Handshakes Suspiciously Much

…It’s Seridwen Evelyn.

For a moment, I smiled with delight, but as she got closer, my smile faded.

Is that the Seridwen I know?

The pressure is immense.

Everyone swallowed hard, watching her dignified gait.

With a black coat draped over her shoulders, she appeared like a superstar, flanked by officials from the Hunter Association, representatives from Stardust Corporation, and a large man presumed to be her manager.

“…It’s my first time seeing her in person. She’s a Master Hunter.”

Yuuna couldn’t close her mouth.

“She’s beautiful.”

Admiration burst out from everywhere.

“Why is the ‘Empress’ at the 2nd-year exchange event…?”

“Are we going to have a mass funeral today?”

“This is a real disaster… I should have just stayed home….”

Seridwen, standing tall in the center of the training ground, seemed to look around for a moment before her eyes met mine.

From that moment on, system messages kept popping up.

[Seridwen already has a very deep affection for you……]

[Seridwen already has a very deep affection for you……]

[First Encounter with Seridwen (Canceled)]

[Devilish Woman (Canceled)]

……?

Ominous pre-emptive quests are being canceled one after another.

Is it thanks to the affection I built up early on through personality excretion…?

Seridwen waved her hand slightly in my direction. I wasn’t mistaken after all….

She’s looking at me.

“Whee!!”

“It’s Professor Seridwen!”

“Master Seridwen! Please sign!”

The men in my direction all raised their hands and cheered.

Seridwen gave a bitter smile.

“S, she waved at us, right? What do I do!”

Yuuna is also very moved.

This isn’t the atmosphere of welcoming an ordinary professor…….

Is that the Seridwen who was snuggling and rubbing against me in my arms?

“Is she that amazing?”

Yuuna was very excited and chattering.

“Seridwen Evelyn is a legendary figure! She’s the only Korean hunter among the seven Master Hunters in the world!”

“Seven in the world?”

The scale is so enormous that it’s hard to grasp.

The only Korean hunter among those seven?

“If an SS-class hunter is that powerful, how powerful is an SSS-class hunter?”

When I said that, Yuuna tilted her head.

“What are you talking about? There’s no such thing as an SSS-class hunter.”

“……Huh?”

“Seridwen Evelyn is the strongest hunter in Korea… There isn’t even an SS-class hunter who can compare! Her market value is 23.4 billion……”

What? 23.4 billion?

Not won [Korean currency], but coins?

I remembered what Seridwen said when we met before.

「It would be too unfair to the others if I joined now.」

……So true.

It was truer than I thought. More than I imagined.

Seridwen has already achieved everything, to an extent that she can’t be compared to other heroines…….

A sister who could easily support me for the rest of my life.

How many men would want to live as her dog?

If I became a dog?

Isn’t she at the level where she could buy a several-hundred-pyeong [A pyeong is a Korean unit of area, roughly 3.3 square meters] mansion with a garden in Seoul and call it a doghouse?

‘W, wait a minute.’

I did an in-vitro fertilization [likely a metaphor for a significant, impactful action] on such a person as soon as the game started?

Defeated her with personality excretion…… Made her into jelly and forced her to have a perverted fetish…….

Wow…….

If Seridwen had wanted to retaliate, I would be…… by now.

That’s not the problem.

The most recent encounter flashes through my mind.

What was that about you getting intimate with a D-class academy student in an alleyway!

I knew it was a dangerous bridge,

But I didn’t know it was like crossing a glass bridge over a bottomless cliff.

The fact that a scandal photo of Seridwen and me almost made the news headlines makes my head spin.

“Sanghyuk? What’s wrong? The color has drained from your face.”

“……Just remembering some past memories.”

「I’m going to rape you. Teacher.」

「You used your… vulgar ability… to… kidnap me…?」

「What if I did kidnap you?」

「Eungoooooot♡」

This isn’t a delusion.

These are all conversations I actually had. I felt cold sweat trickling down my spine.

The goddess eliminated the difficulty of capturing her. The order of capture didn’t matter from the start.

“I am Seridwen Evelyn, in charge of today’s exchange event. Please take care of me.”

The academy students’ cheers poured out.

I swallowed hard and applauded.

“First, there are some people who are new to exchange events. I should explain.”

A gravity wave appears in the center of the training ground.

Seridwen approaches it and touches the gravity wave lightly.

Then, the shape of the gravity wave distorts, taking on a slightly more complex pattern.

‘She’s directly interfering with the gravity wave….’

Is something like that even possible?

Everyone is surprised, so it seems it’s not something anyone can do.

“I should start with explaining the concept. You call this a dungeon, but I see it as a 「rule」.”

This is my first time hearing a lecture like this. Not a sound is heard.

I knew everyone was incredibly focused.

Each word….

Is being spoken by someone influential enough to be worth billions.

Thinking that made me incredibly nervous.

What kind of face should I show her next….

The Seridwen who used to ask me to stroke her and act spoiled felt like a different person from another world.

In that sense of distance, the Master Hunter’s lecture continued.

“Because within this space, you are forced to follow 「different rules from the real world」. You must understand this to become a hunter who aims for a higher level.”

You realize it quickly when you use a gun.

When you’re being unfairly targeted, Yuuna said. The more complex the machinery, the more likely it is to fail.

Is it because the air inside the dungeon is bad for machinery? Is it because magic and machinery don’t get along?

That alone can’t explain why monsters that can’t even be stopped by a sword can easily deflect bullets.

Ah.

There are rules like this here. And.

I was instinctively aware of it, but Seridwen organized the discomfort I couldn’t explain.

Most dungeons aren’t environments where machinery often breaks down, but rather,

You are being forced to follow 「rules that make it difficult to use machinery」.

Seridwen was telling us that the dungeon is a rule in itself.

“You 1st and 2nd year students have also experienced certain weapon types being nerfed [weakened or made less effective]. In high-rank dungeons, those restrictions become much more severe.

That’s why the academy recommends basic melee weapons like swords, bows, and spears.”

The rules that reject them seem to be fewer.

The sword feels as reliable as a comfort food. I’ve never seen it being unfairly targeted.

If it were similar to a gun, the sword would chip and break often, but that hasn’t happened, which is evidence that.

Swords are used as high-value weapons within dungeons.

“…I want you to develop the power to survive in the external god’s domain, which forces all sorts of rules, through this exchange event.”

Seridwen smiles brightly.

“So that you can handle even slightly difficult situations with ease.”

Yuuna flinched.

“Sanghyuk. I might not be able to go on our date today……”

“Why?”

“…Now that I think about it, I’ve heard that Professor Seridwen’s classes are incredibly difficult, even among the 3rd years……. We might have to stay inside the dungeon for several days.”

……I felt a chill.

“I will now….”

Seridwen touches the gravity wave.

Then, an unimaginable, violent current spread around.

“Kyaaaa!”

“Ugh, ugh!”

“I will create a complex gravity wave that all of you can dive into.”

……Create it?

“This is a real abnormal gravity wave. Students of Essol Academy.”

Kwaaaaa……!!

I thought the space would crack as it was.

In the indoor training ground where gravity waves usually form up to 30, a huge gravity wave that dominates the surrounding space appears with just one.

Just looking at the shimmering current was enough to take my breath away.

[「Insight・Hong」activated]

[A-class Dungeon]

[Number Zero. Artificial Data][Rarity D][Reward S][Anomaly D]

[Interferer – Seridwen Evelyn]

[Maximum Number of Participants – None]

My first time seeing an A-class.

And with no limit on the number of people.

Seeing that the rarity and anomaly are low, I could tell that Seridwen was definitely controlling the anomaly of the dungeon.

What will come out of this? What kind of danger will we be in?

“More eyes than usual are watching you. It’s a good opportunity to prove your worth. But if you’re really scared and can’t do it. You can drop out.

Those who want to drop out go to the left exit, and participating groups gather to the right to register.”

Clap!

Seridwen claps her hands to change the atmosphere.

“Now! Move!”

The academy students began to move busily.

‘There are more dropouts than I thought.’

If I were still at stat 5, I would have given up.

I think I’m ready now.

“There were a lot of cameras……”

“Yuuna. You’re going, right?”

“Of course! An exchange event hosted by Seridwen-sensei is a rare opportunity.”

“Hena is?”

“……”

Hena seemed scared.

Honestly, I can’t guarantee that I can protect her 100% in an A-class dungeon.

Hena has to be prepared herself.

“…Honestly, I’m scared. I don’t want to do it.”

“Hena. It’s okay! We’ll protect you. I’m here, and Sanghyuk is too……”

“Yuuna. Shh.”

Yuuna shut her mouth.

It’s time to listen to Hena’s words.

“Can’t they just send us to a less dangerous dungeon? I think it’s okay to just make money in a suitable place and be satisfied with that… I think….”

Hena and Yuuna have different personalities.

If there’s a place that’s more dangerous but has amazing rewards,

Yuuna would already be at the entrance, waving her hand and waiting for me.

She’s the lovely dungeon wife herself!

But Hena doesn’t want such nightmarish risks.

She’s not a professional hunter, just a timid academy student.

There’s also a future where she quits being a hunter and becomes a stay-at-home mom.

That’s not wrong either.

Even in a prestigious academy, there aren’t many kids who work as hard as Yuuna.

There are always only a few people who run towards success, even if their lives are at risk.

But, still.

There’s something I’ve been doing for this moment.

“But… I know why Sanghyuk spent so many precious coins to buy my stats… I know the meaning of it.”

Yeah. You know.

I want to spend this once-in-a-lifetime academy life together.

I knew this day would come someday, so I pulled you along.

“I……. As much as Sanghyuk pulled me, I’ll go to a place I wouldn’t have been able to go to if I were just myself… I’ll try it once.”

I really like that.

I held Hena’s hand tightly.

That’s why I don’t regret spending money on you guys.

Because you understood so well why the precious coins were spent.

“Let’s go together. Hena.”

“Okay!”

“Even if you can’t be a hunter and retire, I’ll take care of you.”

Hena’s ears turned red.

“Isn’t that… a proposal……?”

Yuuna tugged at my sleeve.

My second girlfriend is sulking.

“…Is there nothing for me? Is it all about the two of you?”

“Our princess. You have a date planned, so cheer up.”

Yuuna’s lips curl up uncontrollably.

You like it.

“I like being called princess? Do it more.”

“Let’s change the name of Masterpiece too. How about 「Onahime」 [Princess Ona] instead of 「Yukihime (Snow Princess)」?”

“Cute!”

See. Hena also thinks it’s cute.

“…W, what are you trying to do to our Yukihime! No way!!”

Yuuna hugged her sword and turned her back.

I like Onahime.

Anyway, our Onahole squad…….

Stood in line to apply for participation in the A-class dungeon as a squad.

Stella and Serena are also visible at the registration window.

Serena has her friends next to her. They’re the kids I saw before.

One is a pink-haired girl with big breasts who does YouTube. Was it Isolde?

She noticed us and bowed her head with her friend.

The other one is Sarika?

A cute girl with a brown ponytail that suits her well.

She saw me and bowed 90 degrees.

‘Cute….’

I can feel the cuteness of the fresh 1st years.

The most lovable ones are our younger sisters.

Stella turns her head away as if asking what I’m looking at…….

[Stella]

Big brother

[Stella]

Come to me if it’s dangerous. I’ll protect you no matter what

[Stella]

Don’t get hurt, oppa [Korean term for older brother used by females].

[Stella]

(Muscular cat with arms crossed and glaring emoticon)

Her KakaoTalk messages are all about her brother.

[Serena]

We decided to start as a squad with me, Sarika, and Isolde. Oppa.

[Kim Sanghyuk]

I just made eye contact with your friends

[Serena]

Ah

Serena seemed to be talking to her friends, then she found us.

The 1st years and 2nd years felt like they were grouped together, so it was difficult to suddenly approach each other’s areas, but.

It was possible for participating groups to recognize each other from afar and signal.

“Oh! Who is this? The handsome Kim Sanghyuk?”

Huh?

There was a student council member at the registration window.

Have I seen her before?

When I was being thoroughly ripped off by the student council president, she was making a fuss about how handsome I was…….

“Evangeline-ssi [Korean honorific]?”

“Oh my. You remembered my name?”

Evangeline was a truly elegant aristocrat with voluminous wavy brown hair,

A gentle impression and big breasts.

Her bust size is on par with the student council president. Amazing.

“Register your squad. Squad name here, members below….”

Swish.

Evangeline places her hand on top of mine, which is on the paper.

Soft…….

“Excuse me, sunbae-nim [Korean term for senior], Why are you holding his hand during registration?”

Yuuna is wary behind me.

“Ah. You had a girlfriend? I’m sorry~~.”

It was a position where I could only laugh awkwardly.

Even if I’m Yagam Sanghyuk, I can’t say something like 「Give me your number if you’re interested」 in a place with so many eyes watching.

“Didn’t the president come?”

“The president went out for hero activities. We can’t let villains run wild on a day like today!”

“……I see.”

I was a little gloomy at the fact that I couldn’t see Isabella.

“Oh my. If you make that expression, your girlfriend will be upset…?”

Cough.

I hurriedly managed my expression and held Yuuna’s hand tightly.

I pretend not to notice.

“Guys. What should we name the squad?”

“Sanghyuk decides. Sanghyuk is the leader.”

Yuuna suddenly said something strange.

“You’re not doing it?”

“I’ll change it if you’re not confident~.”

I can’t back down after hearing that.

Leader Kim Sanghyuk, squad name Onahole.

“Please register us as the Onahole Squad.”

Yuuna flinched.

“……Are you really going to name it that?”

“The Onahole Collector’s squad is just Onahole, is there a problem?”

“But….”

I know the bad rumors going around.

Because I’m a D-class, it’s also portrayed as Yuuna sponsoring me and playing with me.

But so what? Even if I’m the leader, the guys who want to twist it will keep twisting it.

“Let’s not worry about what others think. Let’s just focus on what we’re doing.”

I’m using the reputation of 「Onahole Collector」 Kim Sanghyuk, which all the academy students know, like this.

It’s like a kind of rebellion, saying that no matter how much you guys chew me out, Onahole Collector Kim Sanghyuk will be doing well with his girlfriend.

“……Anyone can see that it’s the Onahole Collector Kim Sanghyuk squad. Hehe.”

Yuuna laughs.

At that time, Seridwen was seen walking towards the direction where the participating groups were gathered.

……No. She’s coming straight towards me.

Yuuna and Hena were momentarily at a loss.

I am also overwhelmed by the aura emitted by the 「Red-Eyed Empress」.

She’s no joke when she’s in business mode. Really.

“……Even D-classes are participating?”

Seridwen said as if she was seeing me for the first time.

“……He’s a D-class, but I’ve been raising him diligently.”

“I like that. You. What’s your name?”

“Kim Sanghyuk.”

Seridwen rolls her eyes around.

Suddenly, she awkwardly clears her throat a few times…….

“…T, then…… Shall we shake hands once? It’s been a while since I’ve met such a passionate academy student…. As a 기념 [commemoration/souvenir]?”

……Very awkward.

This hand fetish patient!

No matter how I think about it, the connection is too unnatural!

She should have just called me to the bathroom and asked me to stroke her!

No, is that not it?

“……It’s really awkward.”

“Here. A handshake. ……Don’t hesitate and squeeze it tight.”

Seridwen holds out her hand.

I grabbed her hand tightly.

“……Haeueung♡”

“Don’t make weird noises. Professor….”

I would have been in big trouble if I hadn’t worn sunglasses.

Seridwen’s melting expression in front of me might have been filmed and spread around.

You wanted to see me.

Mr. Dale, whom I met at the gun shop, also said that Seridwen was going to see me.

But I don’t think I was properly prepared to see her.

I squeezed, and.

While holding Seridwen’s hand, I said.

“I’m honored that you think so highly of me. Master Seridwen.”

“……U, uh. Okay……♡ Work hard♡”

Squeeze♡

Squeeze squeeze squeeze squeeze♡

The suspiciously long handshake ended, and Seridwen left without even looking at the other students.

………
