In Ark's faculty meeting room, a video played.
- [Shock Warning] Ark's Current Situation
- Worship the Almighty Cock!!!
- Girls are pissing themselves seeing Kim Taeyang's naked body…!!
- Is that a dick or an anaconda…?!
↳ I came, bro ;
↳ Human incontinence cure lol
↳ His body's kinda insane tho
↳ This is a hero academy? The gap's unreal compared to Japan next door…
↳ Hell Joseon hero school, what do you expect lololol
The six-second clip showed students fanatically kneeling before a naked Kim Taeyang.
Despite tight control after the incident, an unknown student leaked the video.
Tomo-tan, watching, chuckled and subtly hit the 'Like' button.
"Dean! Now's not the time to like videos!!"
"The media's going crazy! This is serious!"
The professors' outrage made Tomo-tan get serious.
"I know it's serious… Gundaru-kun's thing… it's too big, right? Is he sick?! Poor Gundaru-kun! Don't be in pain!!"
"It's just big! Sponsorships are plummeting! Some companies are even demanding full refunds!"
"Gasp, that's bad…"
As the dean fretted, the vice-dean stepped in.
"Sponsorships fluctuate. When the economy improves and companies profit, funding will rebound."
"Professor Shin! Take off that sow badge before you speak! What kind of vice-dean wears that?!"
"Ugh… I can't remove it without the ranch master's permission…"
"Good grief…"
"Ark's done for…"
'Ark's done for!'
The professors couldn't help but agree.
"You're all too serious… Considering Gundaru-kun's contributions, can't we brush this off as a prank?"
"What contributions?!"
"He survived that incident, didn't he? And he boosted my YouTube subscribers!"
'The dean and vice-dean are out of their minds!'
'At this rate, Ark's really doomed!'
'We need to save Ark…! We need action!!'
Professors desperate to keep their jobs racked their brains.
For now, Kim Taeyang didn't seem to be getting expelled.
***
Lena was skipping classes, claiming she was unwell.
The aftershock of pissing herself in front of the whole school.
Lying in bed, endlessly scrolling through short videos, Kim Taeyang's naked video popped up.
She quickly swiped away.
"Haa…"
Eyes open or closed, that moment haunted her.
Kim Taeyang's naked body.
And the massive weapon dangling below.
Now she understood why Kuma was muttering "Cockfight… Cockfight…" in distress.
The real shock wasn't even the pissing…
'I think I felt something when I pissed…'
She'd gotten sexually aroused in that moment.
Kim Taeyang's naked body was undeniably impressive.
The piss was the curse's backlash, but the pleasure? That couldn't be explained by a curse.
'My life's already ruined, so why not just live as Taeyang's wife…'
Defeatist thoughts crept into Lena's mind.
But even that wasn't simple.
'Openly becoming a sow would make the president judge me… And Taeyang's not likely to make me one first…'
Then, a spark of inspiration hit.
- Get a boyfriend and wait. I'll come steal you!
Words from a young Kim Taeyang.
He liked women who were taken.
So, getting a boyfriend might solve it?
While entertaining this deranged idea—
Knock, knock.
Someone knocked on her door.
"Lena-sunbae, it's Juhyuk."
'Kang Juhyuk…?'
A first-year in the student council, chosen by Seol Hajeong but quickly discarded, becoming the shortest-lived reject.
Still, he was well-liked within the council, especially among first-year girls, for being diligent, kind, and quietly handsome.
There was also pity for having his childhood friend stolen by Kim Taeyang.
Lena wasn't particularly interested, but…
'Perfect for a fake boyfriend.'
He seemed useful.
***
A male defeated in a territorial fight either becomes an outcast or gets exiled to wander the streets.
Kang Juhyuk was the latter.
But the protagonist's inexplicable, rational charm quickly came to his rescue.
"Juhyuk's pretty decent, right? Diligent, kind, and kinda cool when he's expressionless."
"For real, he's super nice. Last time I was carrying something heavy, he rushed to help."
"Right? He's sweet."
"Compared to that thug Kim Taeyang, he's an angel."
Kang Juhyuk had a good reputation in the student council.
Some girls openly showed interest.
"Hey, Juhyuk. You free this weekend? If you are, maybe we could…"
"Sorry, I'm planning to train all day."
But Kang Juhyuk had high standards.
'Yujeong's cute, but on an absolute scale, she's a bit lacking…'
His sights were set high!
His original target was Seol Hajeong, but her sudden attitude shift made him pivot.
His new mark was Kuma Rodriguez, transformed into a toned, six-pack goddess through a muscle diet.
Getting close to her wasn't hard.
Despite her stunning beauty, Kuma's personality remained bold and hearty.
So, it didn't take long to confess.
"Didn't know you saw me as a woman, Juhyuk."
"I'm serious!"
"Well, uh… I'll be honest."
"?"
"I know it's weird to say, but I've gotten pretty hot, right? Feels like a waste to belong to one guy."
"??"
"All the guys at Ark would be disappointed. My fan club too… So, sorry!"
Kang Juhyuk was boldly rejected.
'She's got princess syndrome… Good, actually. Honestly, I was more into Lena-sunbae anyway, and she's back now…!'
With a new target, Kang Juhyuk went to see Lena.
"What brings you here?"
"I was worried. You've been skipping classes, sunbae."
"…Come in."
Kang Juhyuk entered her room.
The faint scent of a diffuser was intoxicating.
Lena had changed recently.
She'd ditched the mask she always wore.
The mask was an artifact to prevent curse-casting.
With Hecate gone, there was no need for it.
The first time Kang Juhyuk saw Lena's bare face was when she returned from the dungeon.
Kissing Kim Taeyang, tangled with him.
Even in that chaos, Kang Juhyuk nodded at her face.
'Pass.'
Truth be told, he also wanted to steal Lena from Kim Taeyang.
He was tired of always being the one stolen from.
"Sunbae, everyone's talking crap about you, but I believe in you…"
"Kang Juhyuk, what do you think of me?"
"...?"
Unexpectedly, Lena was direct.
Her tone was businesslike, but that was just her usual stiffness, so he brushed it off.
"You're a great sunbae."
"We've barely talked, how am I great?"
"Felt it from the first time I saw you. You're a good person. I've watched you from a step behind, and that's what I saw."
"..."
A brief silence fell.
The sunset light streaming through the window was beautiful.
The mood felt undeniably romantic.
Kang Juhyuk thought it was a good sign.
"Then, wanna be my boyfriend?"
"…Huh?"
Even he hadn't expected such a sudden confession.
"You don't want to?"
"N-No, it's not that… You like me too, sunbae?"
"Not really, you just seem decent."
A vague, ambiguous answer.
'Is Lena-sunbae actually an easy girl? Does she have a lot of guy experience…?'
His mind spun.
If she was too easy, it somehow dulled her charm.
How could he know she hadn't approached tons of guys like this?
But he wasn't about to miss this chance.
Lena was unofficially Kim Taeyang's girl.
Accepting her confession meant stealing her from him…!
"Sunbae… I've actually liked you too."
Kang Juhyuk slowly approached her.
But as he leaned in, vibing, her finger pushed against his forehead.
"Let's date then. You can tell others. But one rule."
"What's that?"
"No moving too fast. No physical contact."
"...?"
At first, he thought, 'What the hell?'
Dating without physical contact?
'Then why date?'
But soon, a plausible theory hit him.
'Maybe Kim Taeyang gave her a trauma with physical contact… This is perfect. If I heal her trauma, she'll only have eyes for me!'
Kang Juhyuk was already dreaming of his lone savior arc.
***
The sunlight was so bright it hurt my eyes—a perfect day.
I was out for a walk with Pomi, with Seol Harin and Chloe naturally clinging to my arms.
"Hey, get off me! It's getting hot!!"
"No way."
"Isn't it normal to flaunt your sows in public? You've been too lax lately, and I'm pissed. Hug us more forcefully."
"..."
That's how it is, apparently.
Things with the two heroines are getting better every day.
But somehow, my rapport with regular students seems to be inversely proportional.
"It's… Kim Taeyang…"
"Let's get outta here."
"No, no, I mean, we're good, right?"
"How does that even fit…?"
"Okay, maybe Harin, but there's no way it fits in Chloe-sunbae's tiny body…"
"They must get tortured by that thing every night. Poor girls…"
Whispers from passing female students.
They scatter when I glare, but new groups pop up, gossiping.
Male students lower their heads automatically when passing me.
"Hurry, let's go…"
What the hell's their deal?
Is having a big dick a crime?!
These lewd game-world students judging me by cock size…
Well, Kim Taeyang's dick is pretty impressive.
"Taeyang, you're just gonna let the student council be?"
"Huh? What's that mean?"
"Lena-unnie cursed you and me. Don't we need revenge?"
Seol Harin cut in with a jab.
"Chloe-sunbae wasn't cursed—she just pissed herself for fun."
"No way! You think I'm Pomi?! Pissing anywhere?!!"
Chloe…
Even Pomi didn't piss seeing my naked body…
You're weirder than Pomi…
"Anyway! If we do nothing, they'll come for the ranch with more tricks!"
Chloe's right.
The student council's always scheming to screw me over.
Seol Hajeong's probably plotting to repay her island humiliation.
Per the story, something big'll likely go down before finals.
I need to make a move first.
"Hey, I've got plans, so don't rush me."
"What plans?"
The ultimate goal: steal Seol Hajeong's constellation and make her submit.
The problem is her constellation, Charon, is a bit unique.
Charon, the ferryman of the underworld, carries souls across for coins.
In Academia, he's exaggerated—a money-grubber.
Seol Hajeong was chosen by Charon because of her conglomerate backing.
So, to break that bond?
Cut the money supply!
"Hey, sow."
"Yes?"
"How's your mom doing?"
"She's fine, I guess. Why bring her up?"
Why?
To meet her and convince (or threaten) her to cut off Seol Hajeong's support.
"Wouldn't your mom be thrilled to hear you made friends? You were a hardcore loner."
"…I had lots of friends."
"Huh? Besides Kang Juhyuk, who?"
"I had them!"
"Name one."
"Y-Yeonghee…!"
"Hey! Textbook imaginary friends don't count!!"
It's not a 100% sure plan.
In the game, the Seol sisters' mom only appears briefly.
I don't know much about her.
But meeting her can't hurt, right?
"Yo!! Call your mom right now!!! It's a sow home visit!!!!"
If I'm lucky, this could wrap up easily.
