Fortunately, my attendance was acknowledged. I had expected it to be more strict since I had refused to go to school shortly after being possessed, but the system turned out to be easily resolved by simply submitting a reason. The primary focus of an academy student seemed to be more on having a significant social influence than studying.
That's probably why everyone is so busy with their lives as hunters, heroes, and stars.
This explained the numerous empty seats. I initially thought it was simply due to the plummeting birth rate. Regardless, no one seemed to find it strange when I joined in midway.
'Deherit's gaze is intense.'
Rumors about what I had been doing seemed to have spread a bit. In fact, I had told all my girlfriends.
"You've worked hard, Sang-hyuk."
"Huh? What's this?"
"Ice cream."
It looked like the cone of ice cream I had just bought from the store.
"Is it for me?"
"Yes."
I took a big bite. Henna watched me with a smile playing at the corners of her lips.
"Are your bangs not too hot?"
"Easing my mind..."
With a gentle sweep of my hand across her forehead, Henna's beautiful face is revealed. She tightly closes her eyes as if anticipating the sting of my fingers. Her green eyes are truly captivating.
"Do you like short hair, Sang-hyuk?"
"I don't have a particular preference."
A beautiful person looks stunning, regardless of their hairstyle.
"I do have a lot of girlfriends with long hair."
Starting with Henna and Yuuna, who are right next to me... Brigid, Hilaria, and Sarika all have long hair as well. If Isolde were to untie her ponytail, her hair would be long too. Short hair is somewhat rare, perhaps because it's uncommon to see a striking style that complements shorter locks. Henna speaks while licking the spot I had just tasted.
"I'll let my hair grow, even during the summer."
What is Yuuna up to? She's negotiating a seat with the male student next to her. Having seemingly succeeded, Yuuna pulls a chair right next to mine and sits down.
"Hehe, success."
"That's the old man's seat. You can't keep taking it."
"Huh? Who's the old man?"
"That guy's name..."
"Oh, the one who willingly changes seats. Thank you! By the way, I just bought you some bread from the store, didn't I?"
Did she negotiate with bread?
Gunam made a sad face as he vacated his seat.
He was the one my sisters told me about when they came to our class.
In Yuuna's mind, it seemed to be imprinted as "the person who changes seats well."
"How are you feeling, Mr. President?"
"You'll be returning to the academy soon."
Bread emerged from Yuuna's hand. She tore the bag open and naturally offered a "boyfriend's bite."
I ate the proffered bread using only my mouth.
It's red bean bread. Hmm. A rich sweetness gently spread throughout my mouth.
I don't usually prefer it enough to seek it out and eat it, but it felt incredibly delicious, perhaps because I hadn't eaten much.
Next, Yuuna casually ate the bread with my bite marks on it.
"Mr. President, you're truly amazing. The Ethol seniors must be on an unparalleled level."
"Why?"
"You fought an S-class villain and protected Sang-hyuk without a single scratch. That's not usually an easy feat, considering how cunning villains can be."
…
When I think back to last night, a chilling sensation envelops the area around my chest.
The experience of having one's back pierced doesn't simply vanish.
While I was guarding the student council president's bedside,
I first informed my family, who were curious about why I hadn't returned home, about the situation in brief.
Then, I sent messages to my girlfriends.
I told them that the student council president had fought with an S-class villain, and as a result, I couldn't return today.
Since the news about the Genoa incident had been reported as breaking news, everyone seemed to be aware of the reason for the president's absence.
"Right now, the talk of the academy is centered around the student council president, no matter where you go."
"Mmm."
Yuuna, with her eyes shining, asked me who was being careful with my words.
"Tell me. You saw it firsthand, didn't you? How was it?"
"I agreed to a confidentiality agreement."
"What? Just that?"
"I was merely standing there, dumbstruck."
This is the truth.
I genuinely didn't lift a finger.
The healing was provided by the saintess, and the fighting was carried out by Jingsu-chan.
Genoa was truly a villain of a different caliber. Even if he hadn't launched a surprise attack, the chances of victory would have been slim.
"Ah, there are already articles streaming in. They say that several kilometers in radius have been reduced to rubble. How fiercely did you fight?"
"I couldn't see well, as it was obscured by smoke."
"…"
Had it been too obvious?
It seemed Yuuna's keen intuition had been triggered.
"Are you hiding something?"
"Ah… Well…"
"Hmm. Is it something you can't tell me or Henna?"
The moment it's spoken, it ceases to be a secret.
There's no benefit in more people knowing that, in truth, it was Kim Sang-hyuk, the Onahole Man of Class 2-F, who had defeated Genoa.
Especially since it wasn't even me who captured him.
Already attracting attention as Jelly Man, Onahole Man, and Personality Expulsion Hero...
How exhausting would it be if it were mistakenly known that I, with my own strength, had bested the leader of the largest villain alliance in Korea?
"Fine. I understand. You don't have to say it."
"Yuuna…"
"I'll be understanding. *Pout*."
"*Pout*."
Yuuna placed another piece of sweet red bean bread in my mouth.
In any case, everything was now calm, as if the events of that day had been but a dream.
Indeed, there's nothing quite like overwhelming power.
"What will become of Xenovia now?"
"Well, I'm not sure... They say she was taken to the correctional headquarters. It's certain she won't see the light of society again."
I have no idea what happens inside, as I've never been there.
There was a time when I stood firm with my head held high in front of the chairman, asking to be sent there.
It feels like a distant memory, but it was only three weeks ago.
"I haven't heard anything from the chairman."
"Right."
"I heard that Xenovia was among the strongest of the S-class villains... But even she was no match for the White Devil."
"…"
Seeing Yuuna's interest,
Xenovia's defeat appears to be a more significant event than I initially thought. It's good that Jingsu-chan dealt her a heavy blow, but what will happen going forward?
"Even if villains seek retaliation, our academy has the chairman. It's reassuring."
"…"
"Sang-hyuk?"
"Ah, yes. That's right."
The Villain's Retribution...
It was a situation I had never considered before. Was it too naive to think that everything was over now that we had captured Genoa? What if this was only the beginning?
"Is something bothering you?" I asked.
"We need to protect ourselves. We can't rely on the chairman to handle everything."
"Of course! You haven't seen my dual-wielding skills."
"I did see you go'shush shush shush.'"
Yuuna pinched the back of my hand.
"It's not'shush shush shush,' but falchido!"
"Fa, falchido."
"Exactly."
She gently smiled as she interlaced her fingers, as if to ask when I had pinched her. Yuuna had a particular fondness for my hands. She would fiddle with them whenever she had the chance. Had she picked up something from Seridwen?
"I like Sang-hyuk's hands because they're big and strong."
"You seem to have a special liking for hands."
"That's right."
Yuuna leaned in slightly and whispered into my ear.
"The only things that can enter me are Sang-hyuk's hands and... that."
"…"
This is not a conversation to have in the classroom! Seeing my embarrassment, Yuuna chuckled mischievously.
"That's why Sang-hyuk likes hands."
"…"
I flipped my hand over and clasped hers.
Soft.
Yuuna's hand was soft and warm, so it felt good to hold it tightly.
"Class is starting, Yuuna."
"Uh, I wish my seat was here... Sang-hyuk, give me the seat next to you!"
"You can't take someone's seat. Go back."
"Hee…"
Having promised to hold hands on our way home from school, Yuuna happily returned to her seat.
Gu-nam came back and sat down.
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright. I like bread."
After class, I saw Gu-nam being called by my younger sisters again.
After a while,.
"Sang-hyuk… My younger sisters want me to call you."
"Thank you."
In fact, the scanning had already been completed.
Naturally, it would be noticeable when ultra-beautiful girls occupied the area in front of the classroom door.
Serena and Stella clung to me as soon as they saw me.
"Oppa! Are you okay?"
"Where's that villain girl? I'm not going to let her off the hook."
"Calm down, Stella... I'm fine."
I had reported the situation through my phone, but it seemed both Serena and Stella rushed over because they were eager to see me.
"How can I remain calm when my older sibling is attacked by a villain? That student council president I never liked how they treated you like a subordinate all this time."
"Thanks to the Student Council President, my sibling was safe, though."
Indeed, the White Devil had thrown themselves in harm's way to protect me.
Ultimately, if it hadn't been for Jingsu-chan, both of us would have been headed straight for a tragic ending.
I had witnessed the president's sincerity with my own eyes.
"Well, that is something to be grateful for. But if they hadn't been bossing you around until that time in the first place, there wouldn't have been any occasion for you to meet."
…?
Had Stella had an unpleasant encounter with Isabella?
She seemed to harbor a peculiar dislike.
"Later on, if you see them, at least say hello. If it hadn't been for Isabella, I might have died."
"…"
"…"
Still, I thought it would be better to clear the air properly, so I said as much.
"I should buy a present and pay them a visit."
"Let's pick one out together. Serena…"
Kim Sang-hyuk had saved his sister's life, causing quite a stir among them.
"I'll be home in the evening. Don't worry. No heroics for me today."
"Alright, Oppa. I'll prepare a delicious dinner and wait for you!"
Sang-hyuk was healed by Serena's smile.
"Mother is anticipating your overnight absence. Maybe you should prepare yourself."
"Ugh…"
He hadn't thought of that. Unlike the mundane academy attendance, the Kim Sang-hyuk that Hye-jung witnessed was a tempest incarnate. Skipping school to engage in intimate relations with his sister, claiming to be a hero out of the blue, and leaving the academy without any consultation—considering the circumstances, he seemed like the very embodiment of a troubled youth.
Sang-hyuk felt incredibly guilty, imagining his stepmother waiting for him at home with a heavy sigh.
"I'll do my best."
"Should we help? We really ought to let her know that you fought a truly dangerous villain."
"Mother isn't well-versed in Korean villains."
"Did you know?"
Seeing his sisters giggling, it seemed strange that they wouldn't know.
"Yes, the Xenovia incident was the most terrible of all the villain catastrophes."
"I thought you were kidding, big brother."
"Me?"
"You just left a message like, 'I encountered a villain; I'm leaving tomorrow; no injuries.' Do you know how worried Serena and I were when we later discovered that the villain was Xenovia?"
"…Haha."
In retrospect, the student council president's advice to flee immediately was indeed wise.
Yet, if I had run away, I would never have seen Isabella again.
"Were you worried?"
"I was busy with something."
Serena chuckled as she recounted the details.
"Stella. You kept pacing at night, wondering if you should go to our brother, sniffling, and urging me to report it to the police."
"Serena!"
I embraced Stella and gently patted her.
"I'm sorry, Stella."
"Mmh… Ah, it's enough to know! Because I love you, big brother."
"I love you too. And I love Serena as well."
After displaying our slightly excessive sibling affection, as seen from an outsider's perspective,
When school is over, I walk home with two girlfriends by my side.
'What?'
… Is this my everyday life?
How incredible, right?
The beautiful Yuuna clasps my left hand, while my right hand rests on Henna's hip.
As if drawing the usually passive Henna into my embrace, I discreetly caress her belly.
"Ah, Sang-hyuk. I'm embarrassed…"
"Henna's house is nearby, so let's go there first."
"Mom will be happy."
As expected, Hestia opens the front door wide and welcomes us in.
"Sang-hyuk, it's been a while, hasn't it?"
"Have you been well?"
I speak while gently kneading Hestia's bosom.
Hestia maintains a warm maternal smile, pretending nothing is amiss as she endures the teasing from her daughter's boyfriend.
"I've been fine... Hmm… How about it? Would you like to stay for a meal, Sang-hyuk?"
"I've already made plans to eat with my sisters today."
"What a shame."
Just as I'm about to remove my hand from Hestia's chest, Henna takes Yuuna's hand.
"Henna?"
"Uh, would you like to... see our room?"
"Ah, yes! Sounds great."
"Let's take a break for 10 minutes, and then we'll continue."
Earning some time to relieve her mother's aching desire, she truly is a devoted daughter, isn't she? As soon as the daughter and her friend entered the room, I clung onto Hestia, indulging in the pleasure of fondling her magnificent breasts and caressing her delectable derriere.
"Hah… Ah… Ah… Sang-hyuk, you're amazing."
Her breasts are still incredibly large.
"Undress, Hestia."
"Yes…♡"
