Chapter 14 (Please Teach Me Tutor)
Episode 14: I should be wearing pretty underwear.
Today is the regular exam day.
It was the day when the results of the bet, that Kim Si-woo made with Yu Ah-ra would be decided.
The bet was to get first place in both the monthly evaluation and the regular exam. She already got first place in the monthly evaluation, so now all that’s left is the regular exam.
“She probably got her grades by now.”
Since regular exams usually start at 8 AM and go until 4 PM, Yu Ah-ra’s class, which is in Class D, would have taken the exam from 2 PM to 4 PM.
As soon as the last Class D exam was over, the results were added up and the scores came out.
‘If I go to her house, Ah-ra’s expression will tell me everything.’
“I guess I don’t have to take class today.”
Kim Si-woo thought, it would be good to rest on the day after the exam. He had seen, Yu Ah-ra working hard up until now. He knew that a proper rest would be a good driving force for moving forward.
After finishing work, Si-woo headed to her house.
Ding dong!
-Ah, teacher… Just a moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There was a loud noise from inside, and soon the door opened.
“What’s wrong?”
“No. Nothing. I just didn’t clean up because I was alone… I even forgot that the teacher was coming today.”
Kim Si-woo looked at Yu Ah-ra. Her eyes were red and swollen.
‘Could she be crying?’
‘Were her grades not that good?’
‘Then it’s difficult. My plan to teach many students through her can only succeed if she does well.’
‘How bad could it be? Could it be that she’s playing behind my back?’
‘Maybe she couldn’t show her ability because of pressure due to test.’
‘Tsk, was it right for me to go all in even if it meant taking on some risks?’
‘I can’t know just by thinking about it.’
‘In this case, let’s go straight.’
“Did you get your grades?”
“Oh, they came out. As expected, you know a lot.”
“Of course. I’ve taken so many tests.”
“……Just a moment.”
Yu Ah-ra, who had been hesitating, picked up the report card that was on the desk. Kim Si-woo looked at her stats before receiving the report card.
[Yu Ah-ra]
– Potential: S
-Strength: D
-Mana: B -> A
-Intelligence: B
-Stamina: D -> C+
-Agility: D -> C
-Ability: Telekinesis (B)
-Attribute: None
-Incompatible (Attribute: None)
-Fetish: Masochism – Feels pleasure in masochistic situations.
During this test, her stamina, agility, and mana grew significantly.
Kim Si-woo now realize why her potential was set to S. The growth rate was faster than he had imagined.
‘She’d definitely grown.’
Kim Si-woo had used the various secrets, those skills and classes are showing results now, her stats have increased. She would have definitely been able to get first place in her grade.
‘Could it be that there was a monster in Class A?’
Every year, there would be one ridiculous monster in Class A who surpassed a certain level.
When Kim Si-woo was in academy, there were five of them. These guys are now called the Five Supernovas in the Hunter world.
Even a toddler might have been hit by a kid like that.
‘The bitter taste of defeat is painful.’
Kim Si-woo got Ah-ra’s report card from her.
-Yu Ah-ra.
-1st place in monthly evaluation.
-2nd place in regular exam.
-Other subject grades.
… … .
-Top priority scholarship recipient from Korea Hunter Academy.
“You got second place in the regular exam.”
“…… I’m sorry. I didn’t get first place.”
There was a tearful voice in Yu Ah-ra’s voice as she spoke. Tears flowed from her eyes as she bit her lips tightly. She had been crying all along.
Second place.
For Yu Ah-ra, who had been last place until recently and was on the verge of expulsion, beat all the excellent students in Class A, which was known to be doing well, and took second place.
It was an unbelievable score.
She even won the top scholarship.
But she was still upset. She could have gotten better scores, but she missed her goal of first place right before her eyes.
There’s a saying that second place is more frustrating than third place.
“Who is first? Is it your friend from Class A? If that’s the case, since you didn’t clash, you might be stronger……”
“We were in the same Class D, in the same group……”
‘Ah.’
‘If that were the case, it would have been a bigger blow. If they were in the same D class…’
‘I would have fought somehow to be the last one left.’
Kim Si-woo gently stroked Yu Ah-ra’s hair. Then Ah-ra burst into tears and came into his arms.
“Whoa! I lost in the end. I did everything the teacher told me to do, but it didn’t work at all. I practiced while enduring my embarrassment… I practiced desperately, but it didn’t work on Lee Hye-ri at all!”
The voice that cried and poured out was filled with resentment. Resentment over his defeat. Regret over not being stronger.
“I should have tried a little harder…….”
Because she regrets her shortcomings.
This bitter defeat was sure to help Yu Ah-ra grow to greater heights in the future.
‘It’s better this way.’
Rather than becoming arrogant after coming in first in her first year, she believed that slipping up once would be better for her in the future.
‘I got it for cheap.’
‘Because failure in real life means death. But it was something I could never say in front of the person who was discouraged.’
Kim Si-woo patted her back until she stopped sobbing in his arms. Tears and snot soaked his clothes, but whatever…
Because he received a lot of tuition fees.
Si-woo character wasn’t so bad, that he would say harsh words to someone who was struggling because of defeat.
“Let’s get some rest today. You must be tired from crying too much and taking the test.”
“Teacher…….”
Yu Ah-ra, who had fallen from Si-woo’s arms, looked at him and asked.
Her face was a mess from tears and snot, but for some reason, it didn’t look that bad. Maybe it’s because a pretty face is even prettier when it cries.
“I can’t get that award, right?”
“Because I didn’t achieve 100% of the challenge.”
“Ugh…….”
“What did you want as an award?”
“T, that…….”
Yu Ah-ra, who had been mumbling and unable to speak, opened her mouth with difficulty.
“I wanted to get more Mana Circulation Massages.”
“Mana Circulation Massages?”
“Well, the one you did, on the first day.”
Ah. Then it clicked in his mind.
“That?”
“Yes. No matter how hard I try, I can’t get that feeling back.”
“Of course. That’s because it’s a feeling that comes from forcibly opening your bloodline, your mana gate.”
“T-Tell me, I can’t feel that feeling anymore?”
“Well, that’s not true…….”
‘This bitch, no way.’
Kim Si-woo had seen the words written at the end of her status window.
[Fetish: Mazo – Feels pleasure like a masochistic situation.]
‘Is this why she felt that way?’
That may be the case. It varies from person to person, but most people experience pain when someone else forcibly opens their Mana Veins. This person felt it during that process.
‘I thought it was a peculiar constitution.’
‘Was it because of that?’
“Did you feel good while receiving it?”
“Yes, yes?”
“Did you really like getting a massage that much? Enough to ask for one?”
“T-That’s not it…….”
Yu Ah-ra, wiping away her tears and snot, avoided Kim Si-woo’s gaze. He could see sweat running down her face, so he knew he was right.
“Ok”
“…….”
“You didn’t get first place in the regular exams, but got first place in the monthly evaluations, so I’m giving it to you.”
“Really?”
“Yes. If that’s the reward you wanted.”
It’s good to have a desire to rise up because of defeat, but there’s no need to be unnecessarily discouraged.
So.
A moderate level of reward is necessary.
First place in the monthly evaluation, second place in the regular exam.
It wasn’t a low grade by any means.
She’ll probably be promoted to class B right away when next semester starts.
‘If her grades continue like this until the second regular evaluation next month, she’ll be promoted to class A.’
‘Yeah.’
‘That’s my goal for the first semester. To get Yu Ah-ra into class A.’
“How is it?” Kim Si-woo asked, moving his fingers one by one. It seemed a bit perverted, but Yu Ah-ra didn’t seem to care.
“Please”, After she finished speaking, she unbuttoned her shirt. Yu Ah-ra looked down to check her clothes, and her face turned red.
“Now, wait a minute!”
“Why?”
“Now, would you like to go to the bathroom for a minute?”
‘Did she get her period?’
‘No, then why she had to force me, to the bathroom.’
“What is it?”
“There is something like that! Quickly!”
Yu Ah-ra forced Si-woo into the bathroom.
Thud!
She gave a firm warning as she closed the door.
“Don’t open the door until I tell you!”
‘What is it?’ Kim Si-woo became curious too.
***
“This is crazy. it’s crazy.”
Yu Ah-ra lifted the clothes slightly and looked inside, seeing some shabby underwear.
She didn’t think Si-woo would give her award, so she was wearing her regular underwear.
If Ah-ra had thought that Teacher Si-woo would give her an award, she would have definitely worn some nicer underwear.
“Come on, let’s change quickly.”
‘If I have to show it anyway, wouldn’t it be better to show pretty underwear?’
‘It was a matter of pride.’
‘How embarrassing it would be to get a massage wearing old underwear?’
Yu Ah-ra know it’s embarrassing to show up in yourself in underwear to a guy, but….
‘Because it felt good.’
‘I could bear that level of embarrassment.’
She took out a pair of sky-blue underwear embroidered with flower petals. It had a lace detail at the end, so it was a design that she wouldn’t feel embarrassed showing to others.
While changing underwear, Yu Ah-ra recalled the fight with Lee Hye-ri, who defeated her, and become the last surviving student.
‘There were no gaps.’
Lee Hye-ri was much faster than Yu Ah-ra expected.
Hye-ri had the power to overwhelm the other cadets without using a single skill. Her movements were also irregular, so even the evasion techniques that Yu Ah-ra had practiced were useless.
At the last moment, she even deflected Ah-ra’s telekinesis that had become stronger.
No matter how many times Yu Ah-ra reviewed it, she couldn’t beat Lee Hye-ri in the simulation. She felt like a child.
The overwhelming difference between herself and Lee Hye-ri.
‘I wanted revenge.’
‘I wanted to win at any cost.’
Yu Ah-ra’s competitive spirit was burning. It was something, Yu Ah-ra had never felt when she was a repeat student.
‘I will definitely get revenge next time.’
At that time, Ah-ra will definitely beat Lee Hye-ri and take first place. But before that.
‘I wanted a massage right now.’
‘My body was on fire.’
Dripping.
“Yes, I changed everything.”
***
“Ah-ra said her opponent was Lee Hye-ri.”
While waiting for Yu Ah-ra’s signal, Kim Si-woo sat on the toilet and thought deeply.
‘Lee Hye-ri.’
‘The name seems familiar.’
‘Where have I heard it?’
“Ah.”
It came to mind.
“I heard that the name of world-class tanker Lee Kang-san’s younger sister is Lee Hye-ri.”
Kim Si-woo heard that Lee Hye-ri was a melee dealer with the greatest talent of all time. And she had gained practical experience with her brother since she was a high school student before entering school.
‘The opponent was bad.’
‘It was an opponent that Yu Ah-ra could not help but lose to.’
“When I checked the list, she wasn’t in class A… She was in class D? Why?”
But Kim Si-woo couldn’t think any deeper.
Dripping.
“Yes, I changed everything.”
At Yu Ah-ra’s signal, Si-woo went out of the bathroom. Yu Ah-ra was standing in the room, blushing, wearing matching blue underwear from top to bottom.
“Ah-ra, just sit cross-legged, right?”
“Your underwear is pretty.”
Kim Si-woo couldn’t help but blurt out the words.
‘Is it because I like the model?’
‘Ahem.’
