Chapter 34 (Please Teach Me Tutor)
Episode 34: Then let’s start the punishment.
<Kim Si-woo’s POV>
“One more.”
“Ugh…”
“One more time.”
“Huh……!”
“One more time!”
“Ughhhhhhh!!!”
It was a moan that sounded like something strange was happening, but it wasn’t like that at all.
Lee Hye-ri clenched her teeth while holding a specially made barbell on her shoulders. It was a common squat.
However, the weight she was lifting was ridiculous by the standards of the average person. The pure weight of the barbell alone was 150kg.
It seemed impossible that she could lift that much weight with those delicate arms. But that’s how hunters are.
It would be difficult to define them by human standards. In order to fight monsters at the gate and survive, she had to be far from ordinary.
Of course, even so, that barbell was a bit heavy for her, who only had B-level strength.
I made her lift heavy weights on purpose.
This is already my 20th set. She did 20 sets of squats alone. With that heavy barbell.
It was a number that far exceeded the standards of ordinary humans. This was done to increase physical strength.
[Lee Hye-ri]
– Strength: B [Strength Growth (S)]
– Mana: B [Full Mana (D)]
– Intelligence: D [Agility (B)]
– Stamina: C [Super Recovery (A)]
– Agility: S
Next to Lee Hye-ri’s stats was her adaptability to my growth assistance skills.
The adaptability of ‘Strength Growth’, which helps with strength growth, and ‘Super Recovery’, which helps with physical growth, were S and A-grade, respectively.
That means she grows quickly.
Unfortunately, ‘Abundant Mana’, which helps with mana growth, and ‘Intelligence’, which increases intelligence, were D- and B-grade, respectively.
‘The goal was to develop them into tanks in the first place.’
It’s a shame, but it doesn’t matter. Even if you’re a little lacking in mana and intelligence, you’ll still be fine as a tanker.
[Adaptability: The level varies depending on the aptitude of the caster, and the higher the level, the faster the acceptance speed.]
[S Perk: When the ability of the caster with S-grade adaptability increases, the corresponding ability of the caster also increases.]
What’s more regrettable is that Lee Hye-ri only had one S-class privilege. Still, I guess I should be thankful that they didn’t overlap.
As Lee Hye-ri’s power grows, my stats will also rise to S-class.
“I’ll just repeat 5 more sets. If you give up in the middle, you’ll get punished.”
“Punishment… I’ll never give up.”
As promised at the beginning, Lee Hye-ri followed my curriculum without question. What she is doing now is a training test to build up her stamina.
If she does this, her strength and stamina will naturally increase.
“Okay, one!”
“Huhhh…….”
I looked around the room for a moment. This is Lee Hye-ri’s house where I tutor. The house, which is very large for a woman living alone, was filled with all kinds of training tools.
Originally, I was planning to train at the training center. There was a separate room that I could rent, and most of the training tools were provided.
However, Lee Hye-ri was terrified by those words and shouted.
“How can you show that kind of education to others? Come to my house!”
“I need to lift weights and have a lot of space to run around in?”
“I have that much. I’m not rich, but I have enough space and equipment. My house is also covered in protective and soundproofing enchantments.”
The fact that a house was enchanted was already far from ordinary, but I didn’t bother to find fault with it. I knew roughly how much an S-class hunter earns.
I knew that it would cost well over 100 million just to cast a single B-class protective spell.
‘It’s all painted with A-class magic.’
It seemed like the hand of older brother Lee Kang-san, who was trying to protect his younger brother, was involved.
A-class facility protection magic, A-class crime prevention magic, A-class soundproofing and dustproofing magic, A-class heat preservation magic, etc. This house was built on a piece of precious land in Seoul with such magic.
A few billion would have been ridiculous.
So I went to Lee Hye-ri’s house for class.
“Huhhhhh……”
Lee Hye-ri’s body trembled. I picked up the barbell that Lee Hye-ri was holding.
“Up to here.”
As soon as I grabbed the barbell and placed it on the rack, Lee Hye-ri collapsed. She
was covered in sweat. Her white skin was glistening with sweat.
The workout clothes she was wearing as a tank top were soaked with sweat and clung to her body.
It was so revealing that the lines of her nude bra were completely exposed.
“Ha, ha.”
“What a failure.”
“Ha, I can do it.”
“Okay. This is a failure.”
“But…….”
“Look at your hands.”
I pointed to Lee Hye-ri’s hand. Her fingers were twitching uncontrollably.
“If you hold it any longer with this hand, you’ll have an accident.”
“…….”
The moment I met Lee Hye-ri, I thought about how to teach her.
I couldn’t just teach her. She had to follow me with all her heart. If possible, it would be better to raise the favorability to 100%.
Because you will be able to use her skills, albeit limited.
‘It’s an S-class skill.’
S-rank was not an ordinary skill.
In the Hunter world, even an A-rank was treated well. Even if it was limited, if you could use an S-rank skill…
‘It can be used for many purposes.’
For example, I could bluff against Daesung. Now that I’m an S-class hunter, I could ask the association to lift the restrictions on me.
If not, it will also help you recruit capable hunters.
So, we shouldn’t just focus on teaching Lee Hye-ri.
‘I have to make you completely dependent on me.’
At the same time, it would be necessary to reduce the dependence on Lee Kang-san. If only the object of the longing for my older brother could be changed.
‘It’s possible.’
This is about making S-class skills mine.
And that’s where it starts.
“Then let’s start the punishment.”
This was education disguised as corporal punishment.
“Choose one of these.”
List of corporal punishments:
Corporal punishment combined with training for striking.
Corporal punishment combined with training for burns.
Corporal punishment combined with training for thermal injuries.
Corporal punishment combined with training for weaknesses.
I showed her the list of corporal punishments I had shown her yesterday.
“Are you really doing it?”
“Then you wouldn’t have shown me a fake?”
“Ugh…. Barbarian.”
“Say whatever you want. I’m just trying to help you become a real tank.”
“That’s a proven method, right?”
“Of course.”
It was a method that had been proven many times.
How did I know?
I raised a tanker who was in a party in the past. He was weak-willed and timid. At the time, I had published several dungeon strategy theories and several student growth theories with Shadow Mask.
In the process, I realized while raising that weak tanker that if you take hits and damage, your health and strength will increase rapidly.
The problem is that the data is insufficient to publish as a theory book or a thesis, and the method is barbaric, so it did not pass the planning stage…
‘Lee Hye-ri is different.’
She’s desperate. She had even shown that she’s willing to do anything just to become a tanker. If she’s that kind of woman, I should give it my all.
“It’s a method that has been tested several times. It actually worked.”
“Who is it?”
“I can’t tell you. He asked me to keep it a secret.”
“…… Ugh.”
Lee Hye-ri rolls her eyes as if she can’t believe it. Then what should she do?
What is she going to do?
In the end, she put aside her stubbornness and pride and came to me. Even though she had a high rank and a lot of money, in this class, she was overwhelmingly superior.
“Choose quickly. Time is running out.”
“…… I’ll do weakness.”
“Weakness? That’s the hardest part.”
“T-then! Something else!”
Lee Hye-ri changed her words urgently.
“Yes, sir?”
“Okay.”
I took out a leather whip from the bag I had brought in advance. It was a leather whip that was often used in SM play.
“……?”
Lee Hye-ri’s eyes were filled with disgust when she saw the whip.
“What, what is this?”
“What is it? It’s a whip.”
“Who doesn’t know that? Why is this…?”
“It’s a tool for physical punishment combined with burn prevention training.”
Her already cold eyes became even colder.
“Are you crazy? A whip? Then, is the burn punishment really candle wax?”
“You know that well. You seem to have a lot of knowledge about this?”
“Oh, you’re crazy!”
“By the way, the blow is to this palm.”
She seemed to have noticed it too, so I told her.
“Then what about the weakness punishment?”
“Let’s keep that a secret. It’s fun to find out for yourself.”
“You’re serious… right?”
Her face cracked. The wrinkles between her eyebrows spoke volumes about her current emotions.
“Yeah. I’ll say it again, it all worked. He’s a successful tanker now.”
It wasn’t on the level of Lee Kang-san, but considering that a guy with no talent became a person, it was a huge step forward. I nodded as I recalled that day.
“Um, can I trust you? There really isn’t any ulterior motive……”
“No. I think I already showed you last time. It’s not that I’m doing this because I have ulterior motives toward you.”
Lee Hye-ri, who had been biting her lip, looked at me and tightly closed her eyes.
“Choi, please make it as painless as possible.”
Tears welled up in his tightly shut eyes.
“You’re asking for a lot when you haven’t even achieved your goal.”
“…….”
I put a gag in her mouth. When I put the round gag with holes in it, Lee Hye-ri looked at me with surprised eyes.
“Eu…”
I think they’re claiming that it’s got some sort of noise-cancelling magic to it.
“I can’t quite hear what you’re saying.”
I’m saying this because its hard to hear. And, then I handcuffed her two arms.
“It can’t be helped, it’s for smooth corporal punishment.”
After I finished speaking, I picked up the whip. I hit her sweaty chest with the whip I was holding.
Crack!
“Eww!!”
Her chest heaved in her sweaty blue tank top. Once again.
Crash!
“Ugh!”
Every time my whip hit her chest, Hye-ri’s body shook.
“Over. It won’t hurt much. The punishment is just beginning. Follow along slowly.”
The leather whip swept across Lee Hye-ri’s body. It wouldn’t hurt.
Ppaang!
“Hmm!”
Si-woo adjusted the snap of his wrist to minimize the pain. He must have been quite surprised.
He looked like a strange guy.
Contrary to appearance, she wouldn’t have felt any pain. So she must have been even more surprised.
That was the purpose of this punishment.
If you hit her too hard from the beginning, she won’t be able to endure it properly because of the pain.
She had to endure it for a long time to become a training.
Start gently.
But you have to feel the punishment properly.
Now, Lee Hye-ri feels relieved because there is less pain than she thought.
Crack!
“Eungheung!!”
As the whip struck her buttocks, Lee Hye-ri’s back straightened.
“Be very alert and set boundaries. That’s the goal of this punishment.”
I swung the whip and looked down at Lee Hye-ri. She glared at me with tears in her eyes.
“Nothing will change even if you glare at it like that. So just endure it. That’s the basic stance of a tanker.”
He swung the whip again.
Pfft!
“Hmph!”
