"Hey, sow!! Your form's all over the place!!! You think you can hit the lower lats pulling like that?!?!"
"It… keeps slipping… what am I supposed to dooo…!"
"Didn't I tell you not to neglect your core muscles?!?!"
Kim Taeyang was coaching Seol Harin through her workout.
Whenever Seol Harin couldn't hold on and tried to let go of the equipment, Kim Taeyang grabbed her hands and forced her to keep going.
Each time, she let out a "Kieeeeek!" scream.
"Hey, mini sow!! Why're you just standing there?! Go change into those workout clothes!!!"
"Huh…?"
"Huuuh?! Are your ears clogged?! I said move fast since you're already late!!!!"
"Okay, okay…!"
It was a bewildering turn of events.
Flustered by his loud barking, Chloe scrambled to the bathroom to change.
But questions kept swirling in her mind.
'What's going on…?'
The rumors about Kim Taeyang and Seol Harin were downright scandalous.
Every morning and night, rough moans echoed from Kim Taeyang's dorm.
Kim Taeyang teased Seol Harin with a vibrator in public.
He never used condoms.
Seol Harin was supposedly two weeks pregnant…
The gossip was taken as gospel.
There were too many "witnesses" for it to be otherwise…!
'Is this a hidden camera prank…? A welcome event for becoming a slave…?'
That's why Chloe couldn't believe her eyes.
After changing, she returned to the room.
Despite the AC running, the air was thick with the heat of the two working out.
"Mini sow. You a gym virgin?"
"Uh… w-what…?"
"I'm asking if you've never lifted before, idiot!!!"
'Who asks like that, you jerk?!'
She wanted to snap back but held it in.
She was a slave now, after all.
"Yeah, a virgin…"
"Then we start with squats. Bodyweight squats, 100 reps! Let's go!!"
"?"
Chloe did as told.
A hundred squats weren't too hard, but Seol Harin's piercing gaze unnerved her.
Arms crossed, Seol Harin fixed her eyes on Chloe and spoke to Kim Taeyang.
"You're not seriously letting her get away with that sloppy form, are you?"
"Huh? It's pretty good for a beginner."
"No way! If she keeps going like that, she'll get hurt!!"
"It's just bodyweight—she won't get injured."
"Not that! It's driving me crazy!!! Watching that pathetic squat form is stressing me out so much it'll mess with my muscle growth!!!!"
"?"
Unable to stand it, Seol Harin stepped in to correct Chloe's form.
She slapped Chloe's thighs sharply, coaching her like a drill sergeant.
"Spread your legs more! Feet at 45 degrees! Knees follow your toes!! Go down until your thighs are parallel!! Don't tuck your hips…!! It's fine with bodyweight, but if you do a hip wink with weights, you'll wreck your back!!!!"
"Uh, oof, sorry…?"
Seol Harin was ruthlessly strict.
Kim Taeyang chuckled, watching her.
"Hey, sow. You were way worse when you started."
"Ha. That's not funny! You're saying I was worse than this? At least I didn't let my knees cave in!"
Chloe felt left out, listening to their banter.
Arguing over workouts?
This was…
'So different from what I imagined…?!?!'
"Hey, mini sow! Time for weighted squats!"
"W-Weighted? Isn't leg day done?"
"Huuuh?! What's that nonsense?!?!"
"What kind of gibberish is that, sunbae?!?! We haven't even finished warmup!!!!"
Seol Harin was more fired up than Kim Taeyang.
She'd become a full-blown gym rat.
Plus, with her competitive streak as a slave, she couldn't stand Chloe…!
"Her form is so bad it's unbearable! We need to stretch first to improve her range of motion!!"
"Hey, sow. You're pretty intense…"
"Hmph. You know how much time I've spent with you."
"Not that long, right?"
Ignoring Kim Taeyang, Seol Harin sat Chloe on the floor.
Sitting across from her, Seol Harin pushed Chloe's legs while pulling her arms forward.
Soon, Chloe's screams echoed as her legs were stretched to their limits.
"KIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! StopStopStopStopStop!!!! If you do it that rough, it'll tearrrrrrr!!!!!!"
"Stop whining. A hero's body won't tear from this."
Only then did Chloe realize.
This wasn't a sex dungeon.
It was just hell?!?!?!
***
"Hey! Time for protein."
After a refreshing morning workout, it was time for supplements.
Seol Harin expertly mixed and drank hers.
Meanwhile, Chloe, completely wrecked…
"C-Can I get a straw or something… pleeeease…?"
"Mini sow. Open your mouth."
"Ahh…?"
Glug glug glug.
I ended up pouring it into her mouth.
Seol Harin clicked her tongue at the sight.
"How can you be a good slave if you're that weak? You'll have to do this workout morning and night."
"E-Every day…? Twice…?"
"If you're not up for it, you can retract your slave declaration now."
"Hey! Who said she could retract anything!!"
I didn't expect her to be this aggressive…
A woman's jealousy is terrifying…
"That's it for now! Meet back here tonight!! And mini sow! Keep it a secret that you're my slave for now!!"
"What…? Why…?"
Chloe's an extreme masochist.
Just announcing to the world that she's a slave might make her feel something.
She's probably acting exhausted but secretly enjoying this.
What a pervert…
"If people knew a pathetic thing like you was my slave, it'd be annoying!! You've gotta at least hit a 300 total on the big three lifts to be officially recognized as my slave!!! Got it?!?! Huh?!?!"
"Well, if that's the case…"
Her expression is a complex mix of confusion and something else.
She must be thrown off.
She expected to be a sex slave, but now she's a gym slave, building muscle, and not even allowed to be publicly acknowledged as a slave.
That confusion is the point.
Give her pleasure but keep her from fully indulging.
"If you get it, get out already!! Your dripping juices are messing up my floor!!!"
"Why're you rushing me? I brought my uniform and bag to go to school with you. Don't worry, I'll clean the floor spotless."
'Harin…!'
'Please, just go home…!'
'I've got stuff to do alone…!!!'
"No way I trust your cleaning skills, so get out!!!!"
"What…?"
In the end, I had to kick them out by force.
That Seol Harin…
She's getting more and more annoying lately…
Finally alone, I sprawled on the couch.
There was a reason I chased them out.
I needed to check the NTR shop.
◆ NTR Shop
[Cow Bikini Set: 100 Coins]
- A tacky cow bikini set. Includes cow horn headband, bell choker, and name tag earrings.
- Increases the wearer's chest size.
- Charm +10
[Womb Henna – Pregnancy Booster: 50 Coins]
- Tattoos a design on the womb.
- Increases libido and pregnancy chances while the tattoo lasts.
- Charm +3
.
.
.
The NTR shop's items change randomly every day.
The problem is, they're mostly sexual.
Since corrupting heroines would ruin them as heroes, most items are unusable.
And they're not even that great.
But the cow bikini seems useful, so I'll buy it.
'Ahem…' Not for anything weird, of course.
After buying the bikini, I checked the next item.
[Turtle God's Rope: 150 Coins]
- A rope that instantly binds the target in a turtle-shell pattern.
- Can enhance Lashara's abilities!
- Enhanced Lashara's turtle-shell binding tightly restrains women!
- Bound women cannot escape on their own!
"Woo~ A busted item just dropped!!"
In Academia, there are enhancement items.
Using an item as a catalyst strengthens a constellation's abilities, granting far stronger powers than regular items.
When an enhancement item appears, it's always worth using!
150 coins is pricey, but I've saved up enough to cover it.
"Hey, Kkubburi."
"Kkubburi~"
"A gift."
"This is…!"
Kkubburi wrapped herself around the rope, entranced.
A flash of light later, the rope was absorbed into her.
"Thank youuuu! A gratitude Kkubburi dance for youuu-! Kkubburi~"
"Hahaha! That's some hilarious wriggling!!"
"Heehee…! Hee…!!"
The whip-shaped Kkubburi jiggled in thanks.
Her humanized dance is a bit too much for me.
The whip version's Kkubburi dance is way cuter.
With the enhancement done, I pulled out a memo.
To tackle the upcoming event, I'll need help from the constellation in the underground prison.
So, I'm planning to pay the prisoners a visit.
[Hey. I've taken over the disciplinary committee, so I'll free you soon.]
[By Kim Taeyang.]
This should do.
It's just a trick to make the enemy let their guard down.
Alright, then.
Time to start another diligent, fulfilling day?!
***
"Expensiveexpensiveexpensive!!!! Super!! Expensive!!!!!!"
A shout echoed through the disciplinary office.
Kim Angyeong was screaming his lungs out.
"What's going on?"
"There's bad news…! And even worse news…!!"
Kim Angyeong was sweating buckets, and the disciplinary members tensed up.
"First… the bad news… Kim Taeyang… he stole the president's constellation!!"
"What?!?!"
Lashara.
The rumor that she'd fallen into Kim Taeyang's hands spread like wildfire.
The biggest blow, naturally, hit the disciplinary committee.
Chloe, the president, losing her constellation was akin to losing her power.
Her strength was the backbone that kept the committee together.
This was a catastrophic event that shook the very foundation of their authority!
"Now those delinquents will run wild!!"
"Where's the president?! What's happened to her?!?!"
"No idea! She's not answering her phone!"
Chloe was resting in her dorm, knocked out from the morning workout's aftermath.
Too exhausted to take calls, no one knew her whereabouts.
"Wait! Kim Angyeong! You said there was bad news and worse news, right?"
"What could be worse than the president losing her constellation…?"
"That's…"
Sweat dripped down Kim Angyeong's temple.
He took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, put them back on, and spoke.
"The delinquents at Ark… they're not doing anything bad anymore…!"
"What?!"
"There's even a rumor they've formed a vigilante group to monitor students…!"
"No way…!"
"And today, the principal said if the disciplinary committee's performance drops, they'll consider disbanding it…!!"
"Disband the disciplinary committee?! That's absurd!!!"
This was Kim Taeyang's doing.
He'd ordered delinquents like Rebel to form a vigilante group.
Of course, with no real troublemakers besides them, the vigilantes had little to do.
Instead, their intense patrols only scared regular students…
Regardless.
Light only matters in the presence of darkness.
Ark had become peaceful,
And, paradoxically, this put the disciplinary committee in crisis…!
"That guy, Kim Taeyang… He planned this from the start…"
Kim Angyeong muttered in resignation, and everyone listened intently.
"He made the disciplinary committee useless to dismantle it, so the delinquents could run rampant…"
"Yeah… No way a guy like Kim Taeyang is actually righteous."
"So evil…!"
"Is he some kind of devil's spawn?!"
The disciplinary committee fell into panic.
If their performance tanked, the committee would be disbanded,
And it was obvious that Ark would become a playground for delinquents.
"It's… over…"
"I see…"
"We've lost…"
The committee was steeped in defeat.
Slumping in despair seemed like the only thing they could do.
Then, it happened.
A usually quiet member, Jo Yonghee, stood up abruptly.
He tore pages from a notebook on the desk.
Rip-
And threw them on the floor.
"Hey, Jo Yonghee. What are you doing…? Don't you know littering is against school rules?"
"Heh, heh heh heh…! Yeah?! So what?!"
"?"
"You gonna arrest me?! Go ahead and try, you upright, goody-two-shoes disciplinary members!!!"
"...!!!"
That's when they realized Jo Yonghee's plan.
'This guy…! He's sacrificing himself to boost the committee's performance…?!'
He'd chosen to become a criminal.
To save the disciplinary committee…
Rip- Rip-
Jo Yonghee kept tearing and throwing pages.
"Hahahahaha!!! I'm a trash villain!!! I litter everywhere!!!! Arrest me, you righteous punks!!!!"
Other students jumped up too.
"Heh heh heh. I loosened my tie!! I'm clearly a delinquent now!! Arrest me!!!"
"Idiot! Moron! Mutt!! I insulted a friend!! I'm a cursing villain now!!!"
"I'll smoke indoors!! But since I don't have cigarettes, I'll roll up paper and smoke that~! Heh heh heh!"
"Whehehe! I'm a villain too! I committed some crime, so arrest me!!"
In an instant, the disciplinary members turned into self-proclaimed criminals.
Kim Angyeong could only hang his head.
Tears streamed down his cheeks like rain on a window.
"You idiots… That's not enough to arrest you for…"
That's when it happened.
The office door opened, and the villain act came to an abrupt end.
"What are you all doing?"
"?"
It was Shin Hyewon, the disciplinary committee's advisor,
And Chloe Maiden.
"V-Vice-Principal! President Chloe!!"
"Enough with the nonsense. I've got a plan to take down Kim Taeyang."
"!"
Shin Hyewon's voice was brimming with confidence.
Despite losing her constellation, Chloe looked surprisingly composed.
"Soon, there'll be the disciplinary committee's performance review. That's where we'll expose Kim Taeyang's true nature."
The performance review.
A quarterly event attended by all professors, students, and staff.
Shin Hyewon planned to bring Kim Taeyang down on that stage.
This time, she was truly confident.
It was her most devious, sinister plan yet…
"Chloe Maiden. You know your role as the presenter is critical, right?"
A subtle smile curled on Chloe's lips.
"Just leave it to me."
"Reliable… Now, everyone, listen up as I explain the plan!"
The plan was truly perfect.
You could even say it was guaranteed to succeed.
As long as Chloe, who'd secretly become a slave, didn't betray them…!
