Chapter 21 (Please Teach Me Tutor)
Episode 21: Sniff sniff, I want to smell more.
<Kim Si-woo’s POV>
I’m going crazy.
“Kim Si-woo is all gone.”
My breath is ragged. Kim Si-woo, who had the physical strength to never tire no matter how much he swung his sword, is dead tired.
Damn it.
“At this level, it’s not even A-class, it’s below B-class.”
Sweat is pouring down my body. I went to the training center every day for the past few days.
2 hours?
No.
On days when I didn’t have private lessons, I rented a private room during opening hours and used it all day.
I thought I couldn’t go on like this, so I rented a day pass. It was a lot of money, 250,000 won per day, but I didn’t care. My priority was to normalize my body as quickly as possible.
“Ugh, ugh.”
I got a blister on my palm.
Do you think I’ll give up just because of this?
With just my determination, I was able to graduate at the top of my class at the Academy and even heard that I was a new star. This level of hardship was nothing to me.
“Phew.”
I looked down at my palms, which were covered in blood. I wiped my face with a towel because my vision was constantly obscured by sweat. I held my trembling hands tightly and grabbed the sword again. Now, I was getting used to the feeling of the sword in my hand.
But that was it for today.
“Because I have tutoring today.”
I can’t go when I’m too tired.
That would be rude to the students who pay to take the class.
“Phew…….”
I took a deep breath. Now I had to go to class for her second exam.
Second exam.
The first semester final exam for first year students. The difference in time from the first exam was only a month, but the difficulty of the exam had definitely changed.
The reason was simple.
The opponents in the simulation were not monsters, but villains. The monsters’ appearance patterns were very simple.
In the first place, most monsters had low intelligence, so they often moved in simple patterns. There
were some cases where this wasn’t the case, but that was the case for irregulars. That’s why most of the simulation monsters that appeared in the first year classes were beginner-level.
However, the villains were different.
No matter how much it was a first year simulation, their patterns were incredibly elaborate and numerous. This was because in the first exam, they often input the behavioral patterns of actual captured villains in order to warn students who took the Hunter World lightly.
So the task for the second test was to escape from the villain until support arrived. The goal was to escape to the target point with the survivors distributed throughout the simulation city. Students participating in the test can act in two directions.
Prioritize their own survival over saving citizens. Or, throw themselves into the fight against the villain to save citizens.
The latter case usually earns more points.
Self-sacrifice.
That was an absolutely necessary virtue for a hunter. Of course, if you go out like that and fail in the first round, you will fail. So a strategic approach was needed.
And this second test in the first year.
‘It was the first exam where I was ranked first in my class.’
It was the subject I was most confident in.
“Let’s wash up first. It smells really bad.”
I headed to the shower.
I didn’t want to smell like sweat.

After finishing my training, I came to Yu Ah-ra’s house. I walked down a familiar street and entered a familiar complex. Then, one question suddenly occurred to me.
“It’s about time another student applied. Why haven’t we heard anything?”
It was strangely quiet. I made a repeat student into second place in the grade. Of course, it was because Class D had a good time while Class A was fighting among themselves, but second place is still second place.
If other students heard this news and approached me through Yu Ah-ra, they should have approached me earlier.
“There is nothing to say.”
Even as a child, there was never a time when a student said he wanted to learn something different.
It was a difficult situation for me, who had to recruit many students as quickly as possible.
“no way…….”
After much thought, I came to a conclusion.
A very simple reason.
The reason why Yu Ah-ra had never recommended any other cadets to me.
“Doesn’t this kid have any friends?”
Up until now, while taking private lessons, I had never heard Yu Ah-ra talk about her friends. She would talk about what classes she was taking, but she never said which friends she went with.
“The first and last time she mentioned any classmate, when she said that she was pushed by Lee Hye-ri.”
The treatment of repeat students in an academy that values merit above all else is brutal, so there was nothing I could do about it even I didn’t have any friends.
“Hmm, that doesn’t mean I can go to the academy.”
It’s a difficult task.
Time will tell.
“Still, I guess we have to talk about it.”
I should told her to bring other students. I have to start selling now. I can’t teach only Yu Ah-ra forever.
Now that I’ve quit my job, I have to take responsibility for at least the bare minimum of living expenses.
I don’t know if there’s no place where money is being spent.
The training center alone costs hundreds of dollars.
“Of course you have to take the test.”
I’m not just trying to make money. If that were the case, I would have partnered with Bong-sik.
As I was thinking about that, I found myself in front of Yu Ah-ra’s house.
Dripping.
I’m scared to knock on the door.
Dadadadada.
I could hear people running inside. The soundproofing wasn’t that great.
I can hear everything.
Hmm.
“You’re here!”
Yu Ah-ra greeted me with a bright smile on her face.
“Okay. Now I have to prepare for the second test.”
“Yeah, I guess so. Hahaha.”
A strangely excited Yu Ah-ra looked at me. I wondered why she was like that.
[Yu Ah-ra: Strategy – 68%]
The strategy level has gone up again. It must be because the strategy level is over 60%. It’s acting like a puppy wagging its tail while looking at me like this.
I went inside.
“Uh?”
As I passed by Yu Ah-ra, who had opened the door, she let out a gasp and twitched her nose. She
was twitching her nose just like a rabbit.
Yu Ah-ra, who was sniffing with her eyes closed, looked at me.
“Teacher, did you exercise?”
“How did you know?”
“You smell like sweat.”
“Huh? Really?”
Even though I washed my pubic hair thoroughly when I showered, it still came out?
“That’s okay. It doesn’t smell bad. It smells manly and nice.”
Then she leaned toward me and sniffed again.
[Yu Ah-ra: Strategy – 72%]
In the meantime, it came up again.
What is it?
Does this guy have a smelly fetish?
“Teacher, when you have time, let’s go to Orange Young together later. I’ll choose a perfume that suits you both.”
Why is she acting like this?
She was particularly quiet today, her speech was soft, and there was a faint scent of perfume in the room.
‘Wait for a sec.’
“Did you spray perfume?”
“Huh? Did you notice? I’m going to school this time, and I felt like I shouldn’t just go without it, so I sprayed some on. What do you think?”
Spraying it on the way to school. You can tell it hasn’t been long since you sprayed it because the strong smell settles in your nose. How could I not know this?
“Try it once.”
Yu Ah-ra put her wrist in my face.
The increased attack power and the changed attitude of Yu Ah-ra.
This is clearly the effect of the attack map.
Is it really that different?
Maybe it’s because she’s over 50?
It probably means that I have more positive feelings than negative ones. So she’s trying her best to build up her favor.
Hmm.
But now wasn’t the time.
“Concentrate on your studies. The second exam is just around the corner.”
“But teacher, class hasn’t even started yet.”
“Do you want to drop out?”
If she slipped up even once, she would be expelled. If she didn’t finish the year properly, she would be expelled without a fight. Expelled after passing the first exam.
Isn’t that too unfair?
It doesn’t matter right now that she likes me.
What really matters is that Yu Ah-ra passes the exam.
Yu Ah-ra kept her mouth shut at those firm words. Still, her attack power did not drop.
Tiring.
[Yu Ah-ra: Strategy – 73%]
Instead, it went up by 1.
What the heck is this?
Why is the strategy level increasing so quickly?
I don’t think it’s simply because the cumulative strategy level is high.

<Yu Ah-ra’s POV>
Yu Ah-ra’s heart raced whenever she thought of Kim Si Woo recently. This was probably because she kept thinking about him and masturbating. She knew in her head that she had to prepare for the test, but her body kept seeking masturbation.
That was understandable.
When she thought back to the class she had with him, the strange situation at that time shook the heart of the twenty-one-year-old Yu Ah-ra.
My lower body twitched and lower stomach throbbed. I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I imagined the situation when I was taking private lessons and masturbated. Then, the afterimage of Kim Si-woo from my imagination remained in my head. The time I spent thinking about Kim Si-woo kept increasing. They say that if you see him often, his face becomes familiar and your favorability increases.
Yu Ah-ra was in exactly that situation.
So today, which was the day of private lessons, I was more excited than usual, so I put on makeup and sprayed on perfume, which I don’t usually spray.
‘Maybe we can make more progress.’
My heart was pounding with excitement as I wanted to skip the class progress and do something else.
So I waited.
“Ah.”
The moment Kim Si-woo brushed past her and entered the room, Yu Ah-ra smelled the masculine sweat coming from his body. A man’s scent that ordinary people could not smell at all, but that she had barely caught because she was an awakened person.
She smelled the exquisite mixture of body wash, shampoo, and sweat, and the scent of masculine pheromones.
And that scent pounded Yu Ah-ra’s heart, who was deeply in love with Kim Si-woo. This was her first time smelling like this. He always gave off a clean scent.
Most of it was the scent of perfume mixed with the typical office scent of an employee who had just finished work.
But this wild scent.
Yu Ah-ra, who had been letting her guard down, was completely taken in by his scent. I kept wanting to close my eyes and enjoy it.
*Sniff*Sniff*
I want to take on more.
“Teacher, let’s go to Orange Young together.”
I wanted to recommend a perfume that would suit his body odor. Not the slightly old-fashioned manly perfume he wears now, but a beastly perfume. I wanted to recommend a proper one.
But it comes back.
“Focus on your class.”
A single, stinging word.
“But teacher, class hasn’t even started yet.”
“Do you want to get expelled?”
Yu Ah-ra looked at Kim Si-woo, who was glaring at her and saying a few words. He wasn’t wrong.
What was urgent for her right now was graduating from the academy.
But how could it be like this?
‘Teacher… … .’
Yu Ah-ra saw Kim Si-woo firmly concentrating her in class.
Twinkle! Twinkle!
Somehow his face seemed to glow.
The effect was that the more difficult something was to obtain, the more valuable it seemed. Kim Si-woo’s appearance, which gave off an air of being difficult to approach, captivated Yu Ah-ra’s heart. His determination transformed into charisma and melted Yu Ah-ra’s heart.
‘Why do you look so cool?’
This is how Yu Ah-ra’s strategy level went up. Without Kim Si Woo knowing, Yu Ah-ra’s heart started burning a little more.
But I’ll hold on for now. As Kim Si-woo said, there’s not much time left until the second exam.
If I beat Lee Hye-ri and get first place in the second exam, he’ll praise her, right?
After the exam, its vacation, so I’ll ask him to go somewhere together.
I strengthened my will.
“The second test is mainly about subduing simulation villains.”
And he focused on his tutoring. Of course, I didn’t forget to try to sit as close to him as possible.
‘Is it okay to get this close?’
T.L.
I think I should replace attack map with charmed and charming.
Each alternate day 2 chapter will be released from now. That’s my goal. Sometime I may forget to update the progress on NOVELUPDATE. Until something come up, I would try my best to keep the current pace, without skipping.
