-Anonymous1: What happened? Am I the only one who doesn't know?

└Anonymous2: Seems like they are talking about the guy with the mask.

-Anonymous3: Lim Jonghyun was indeed legendary, lol

└Anonymous4: What are you talking about? It was clearly that guy.

└Anonymous3: S**t, just accept it!!!

└Anonymous5: Lol, denying it through clenched teeth lololol

-Anonymous6: But isn't that guy also reading this?

Sigh...

White smoke leaked from Jonghyun’s lips.

“I don’t like it.”

Lee Shiheon.

At first, he thought he was just a guy who became famous by a series of coincidences.

‘What’s this?’

But when it happened repeatedly, it became inevitable.

Lee Shiheon not only hid his abilities but, once again, he was at the center of the disturbance.

‘Why do I even bother thinking about this... No, why am I thinking about this?’

He was a man he had no interest in.

He believed Jung Siwoo was overestimating Lee Shiheon, and he was firmly convinced that his belief was right.

‘I’m not sure now.’

After stubbing out his cigarette in the ashtray, Jonghyun wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and re-entered the training room, sitting down on a strength training machine.

It was right to shake off trivial curiosities.

It wasn’t strange to focus only on what he was aiming for and run forward.

‘Wait for me, Jung Siwoo.’

He would surpass the relationship that started from the military academy and even his father with ease.

Jonghyun reached out for the giant dumbbell.



Beep

When I returned to the dormitory, Shiba wouldn’t talk to me.

“Shiba...?”

“Beep.”

Shiba, lying on the bed and burying her face in it, kept sobbing.

I wondered if she hadn’t adapted well.

‘She adapted quite well,’ they said.

“Then why...”

“Beep!”The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.

Shiba cried out loudly in response to Cheondo, who was washing the dishes.

“She must be protesting.”

“Protesting?”

“Yes, she must be frustrated that her father is always out and about, ignoring her. It’s the age when she wants to monopolize him. You should understand.”

Had I been indifferent to Shiba?

Not really.

Except for a few times I went out, Shiba was always with me.

On days off, we were almost always together for more than half of the day.

“A daughter always wants to be with her father.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes.”

Cheondo’s words seemed a bit bitter.

Knowing she had her own family issues, I didn’t say much.

“Beep!”

“No, but Shiba, you should listen to Dad, shouldn’t you? You’re becoming more and more whiny. What’s going on?”

“Shiba, if you keep sulking like that, we can’t communicate. Come on, look at Dad.”

-Swish!

Somehow, as if she had eyes on the back of her head, my hand got smacked.

...This might require a bit of force.

I reached under her armpits and lifted her small body.

“Squeak, squeeeeee!”

Shiba, startled, started thrashing about.

Her tiny feet hit my nose, and I got smacked in the face.

But once I held her, she calmed down quickly, burying her face in my chest and shedding tears.

“Look at all this snot. Tissue... Come on, blow your nose.”

“Squeak...sob.”

After wiping her tears and helping her blow her nose...

Once I patted her back, she seemed to feel better, wriggling in my arms and hugging me tightly.

“Paah...”

“Do you hate being away from Dad that much?”

-Nod, nod.

She really understood what I said quite impressively.

I needed Shiba to stop Hwangdo... I should keep that in mind.

“Stop talking nonsense and... do your job.”

“But Little Brother needs to learn this, right?”

“No, why are you teaching your disciple magic to arouse women? Were you not a Heavenly Demon but a Lust Demon? Do you even use lust techniques?”

“It’s not magic, just a skill, and it can even prevent pregnancy! Perfect for Little Brother, right? I might be the only one in the world who can do it. Wait... maybe not? That sage might be able to.”

With an air of confidence, as if she could read my every thought, Hwangdo spoke assertively.

“Why would someone with a unique ability use it for such things.”

“Little Brother has the talent to do it, too. And it’s necessary.”

“......”

“...Eating fruit increases your magic power.”

Hwangdo’s words were laden with many meanings.

She had the knack of speaking in a twisted way that Cheondo couldn’t understand.

“Not to say you’re not a pervert.”

“Hehe”

“That’s not a compliment.”

Filling the tree planting encyclopedia was one way to get stronger quickly.

However, the conditions were strict, so it was kept as a last resort... And unexpectedly, it was Hwangdo who brought it up.

“Anyway, let’s finish this, shall we?”

“Please do.”

Hwangdo closed her eyes again and concentrated on emitting magic.

I also took a deep breath to calm my excited mood and raised my magic.

“Start slowly.”

Hum-hum-

Blue magic flickered on the outside of my skin.

Though it was a magic inspection, I couldn’t be careless.

As Hwangdo pushed in the generated magic and I suppressed it, we checked my magic manipulation ability. A small mistake here could damage the magic circuit or container. There’s a risk, but the return was just as great. Knowing the performance and amount of a disciple’s magic circuit was the best benefit for a teacher.

-Uuumm.

But...

‘Oh?’

It was surprisingly tough.

It felt like she was coming in with full force, and no matter how hard I tried, it was difficult to push back. A terrible sensation of her forcibly prying into my magic circuit and pushing her way through. I adjusted my posture and heightened my concentration.

“...?”

‘Look at this person.’

Like a long, slithering snake, the magic inside me churned. I also extended my magic to counter hers.

As I increased, the output and our magics clashed, the circuit slightly misaligned. Just as I pondered whether to forcibly increase the output to the maximum,

“Okay, that’s enough.”

Hwangdo’s voice rang out.

Sigh...

“This is your first time, right? I remember it hurt a lot when I first did this with my master. But Little Brother, you’re exceptionally talented!”

Sweat had formed on my forehead. Seeing Shiba sitting between my legs, leaning her head against me, seemed to lift my spirits a bit.

“I didn’t realize it would be this tough.”

“The basic check is done. You seem ready to learn teleportation now. It looks doable.”

“... That’s good to hear.”

It meant I could send Shiba to kindergarten even without Hwangdo in the future.

Relieved, I sighed, and Hwangdo, clinging to my back, whispered in my ear,

“So, do you want to learn that thing from before?”

A magic-like technique to sexually excite men or women.

I almost smacked her out of annoyance, but a better idea came to mind.

“I think I can do that thing from before now.”

“Eh~ Little Brother, even if it’s teleportation, you can’t learn this in one go.”

Was that so?

I pressed my finger into Hwangdo’s thigh and slowly, gently infused magic, caressing her lower body.

“I’m sure I did the magic like this.”

“...Little Brother, it won’t work.”

“Just a moment.”

No reaction. Maybe it really wasn’t easy...

I emitted more magic, recalling the sensation I had experienced earlier.

“...Oh.”

The flesh began to tremble. I heard a panicked voice.

-Press.

Should I twist it harder here?

“Hic!”

A sudden hiccup from Hwangdo.

Turning my head, I saw her face flushed red.

“Little Brother... I, I need to go to the bathroom for a bit.”

“Huh? Oh, sure, go ahead.”

As Hwangdo quickly got up and headed towards the kitchen, I stared blankly at my finger.

‘...Did it work?’

Magic.

No... I acquired the skill.
