Chapter 35 (Please Teach Me Tutor)
Episode 35: Until the end of Vacation
<Lee Hye-ri’s POV>
Every time Kim Si-woo hit her body with the whip, a red line appeared on white skin.
Taaak!
“Ugh!”
The twitching of her body every time she was hit was not due to pleasure, but pure pain. Lee Hye-ri bit down on the gag in her mouth because of the pain she felt every time she was hit.
It hurt.
It really hurt.
“Ugh, ugh…….”
I exhaled and endured the pain that I felt all over my body.
Tears welled up in my eyes.
I had accepted the punishment, but I didn’t know it would hurt this much.
‘How am I supposed to endure this…’
Especially when the whip hit her chest, she felt both pain and shame. Every time she was whipped, her blue tank top-style gym suit rippled.
“Eeeeeep!!!”
Crunch.
Every time Lee Hye-ri flinched, the metal sound of the handcuffs binding her hands made her realize the reality of her current situation.
I didn’t know that not being able to move both hands freely could be this uncomfortable. If only I could stroke the sore spot with my hand, it would be less painful.
‘It’s annoying. It’s annoying. It’s annoying.’
I was angry at the helplessness of not being able to do anything. It was a feeling I had never felt before.
She is the younger sister of Lee Kang-san, who is known as the best tanker.
That was not all.
She herself was called a supernova.
She dropped to Class D because she chose to be a tanker instead of a dealer, but no one doubted her potential.
Even the academy professors could not treat her carelessly.
That was the treatment given to Lee Hye-ri, who had a promising future. To make her do such a shameful thing.
Crack!
“Eeeeek!”
But the thought didn’t last long. Kim Si-woo’s whip struck her body again. It was a persistent movement, as if he was not allowing her to do anything else during class.
“Over. It won’t hurt much. The punishment is just beginning. Follow along slowly.”
I was dizzy.
This doesn’t even hurt?
Is this person in his right mind?
No, has he ever been hit before?
No, he probably hasn’t.
Rather than being hit, he’s always been in the position to give hit.
“Eeeeek!!!”
He shouted to retort, but only pitiful moans came out from Lee Hye-ri’s mouth, which was gagged.
Her drool flowed out of the hole in the gag. It ran down her chin and soaked her gym clothes.
She was embarrassed.
The fact that she couldn’t wipe the drool away with her own strength made her even more miserable.
“Euuuuup…….”
“Don’t worry. I’ll just hit you enough so you don’t fall.”
Kim Si-woo raised his hand holding the whip.
Lee Hye-ri shut her eyes tightly.
Crack!
“Huhhhhh!!”
It hurts, it hurts. It hurts! It hurts!
Stop it now!
This is enough!
“Eww!”
“It’s nice to hear you cry. But not yet.”
Crack!
“Ugh!”
Another solid line was engraved on her back.
Lee Hye-ri bit the gag.
Hot breath burst out of her mouth.
Why are you doing this to me? Do you hate being a tank so much? Do you want to beat me up until I give up while doing it moderately?
You said I had a talent for tanking.
What does that have to do with becoming a tank!
Lee Hye-ri glared at Kim Si-woo with her eyes wide open.
“You have good eyes. That’s it. Burn with fighting spirit. The fighting spirit that you will never give up.”
The whip struck her thigh.
“Eeeeek!”
I don’t know how much of it was right.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Sweat poured down my entire body, and my head was dizzy from the burning pain.
My legs felt weak as if I would collapse at any moment.
But I couldn’t collapse.
Crunch.
This was because the handcuffs that bound her hands were hanging from the ceiling, immobilizing her.
Every time I got hit, my whole body got tense, and I struggled as much as possible to avoid pain, so I must have used up a lot of stamina.
My vision was blurry.
I couldn’t even see Kim Si-woo clearly in front of me.
It was difficult to even open my eyes.
I didn’t say that the punishment was this hard.
Liar.
Con artist.
Pervert.
He’s definitely a sadist.
He’s definitely a pervert who gets pleasure from tormenting and hitting people. If not…
“How was it? How did you feel about receiving your first punishment?”
Kim Si-woo’s voice was heard.
“Ugh…….”
Lee Hye-ri mumbled something, drooling through the gag.
Even she couldn’t figure out what she was trying to say. It was just babbling from her subconscious.
“Oh, I didn’t take the gag off.”
Kim Si-woo, who had sharpened the whip and put it in his bag, took the gag out of my mouth.
“You can say it now.”
“You pervert…. A sadist…. A conman….”
“ Hmm, that’s a bit harsh to say to a private tutor.”
“Ugh. You want me to say it out loud.”
“What?”
“If I’m not good at tanking, then just say it out loud… I’ll understand if you say it out loud.”
What am I saying?
My mental strength was completely worn down from enduring the whipping for dozens of minutes, and my cognitive ability was significantly reduced due to the lack of oxygen in my brain from the gag.
“You said I had the qualities of a tanker, that I had talent, so why are you tormenting me like this……”
“I think there’s a misunderstanding.”
“Fuck…… What the heck… a misunderstanding. I know I have no talent as a tanker. But what can I do? I’m Lee Kang-san’s younger sister, and I want to become a cool tanker like my older brother.”
It’s dizzying.
But when I saw the embarrassed expression on the cheeky tutor’s face, my mind was a little relieved.
“I thought she was just a quiet girl, but she’s more talkative than I thought.”
Kim Si-woo approached.
Are you trying to get on my nerve?
Are you trying to do something to me?
“Don’t…… come.”
“Stay still. I’ll take the handcuffs off for you.”
“No need. Just get out…….”
Because I don’t even want to see your face.
But Kim Si-woo approached her, ignoring her words.
Crunch.
The sound of handcuffs being released echoed throughout the room.
As the handcuffs were released, Lee Hye-ri’s body leaned forward. She had already reached her limit, so she had no strength left in her legs.
“Oh my.”
Kim Si-woo held Lee Hye-ri in his arms.
“I guess ypu have less stamina than I thought. I’ll have to adjust a little for the next class.”
As her tense body relaxed, she lost consciousness. Lee Hye-ri felt Kim Si-woo’s voice fading away.
“I think you misunderstood, so let me say this: I am certain that you have the talent to be a tank.”
Kim Si-woo’s voice was heard from above Lee Hye-ri’s head. It was a low-pitched voice that put her heart at ease the moment she heard it.
Hearing his voice, Lee Hye-ri closed her eyes.
Her eyelids were too heavy.
She rested her head on the strong muscles of the man who held her in his arms. The strong muscles that gave her support when she was held. It was enough to remind her of Lee Kang-san, the strong shield that protected her.
“Brother…….”
That day, Lee Hye-ri had a dream.
-Hyeri, you have talent as a tanker.
A dream of a man stroking her head and complimenting her. I couldn’t see his face clearly. However, the moment I heard his voice, I was convinced that I could really become the best tanker.
-Just trust me and follow me.
Hearing his voice, Lee Hye-ri in her dream grabbed the hand.

<Kim Si-woo’s POV>
[Lee Hye-ri: Favorability: -34%]
“Hmm.”
I sighed as I looked at the screen showing favorability. Was the method wrong?
I could see that Lee Hye-ri’s strategy map was poorly designed.
“I didn’t think you’d like it that much, but…….”
I didn’t expect it to fall this much. I guess that means it wasn’t her taste.
‘Yu Ah-ra was a special case.’
Luckily, she had the ‘Mazo’ trait, and that helped me a lot as an assistant. However, Lee Hye-ri didn’t have that trait.
Rather, if you look at her reaction when she was hit.
‘She has a strong sense of rejection. If I had to be specific, I’d say she’s closer to being a sadist.’
I saw Lee Hye-ri sleeping soundly in my arms.
She would hate this method, but there was nothing I could do. In order to increase her adaptability to the tank and make her fully fit as a tank, she had to endure even greater pain than this.
“If we continue with this teaching method, the favorability will drop a little, but it can’t be helped.”
There was no better way.
The core of this training was to build up stamina through endurance training, to make you accustomed to pain, and to become adept at countering attacks.
‘It was actually a method that worked.’
Because it was a training method that turned a rookie who had no answers into a tank capable of doing one-man battles.
You’ll realize it in time. Thanks to me, you can become a complete hunter. When that happens, the favorability that was cut will go up.
If Lee Hye-ri has a strong desire to improve, she will follow my method without a second thought after feeling the change.
“I wish I had realized it sooner.”
I wish our cheeky girl would become gentler.
I wiped the sweat flowing down Lee Hye-ri’s body, applied a special ointment, and laid her down on the living room sofa.
I thought about laying her down on the bed in her room, but it was not polite to enter someone else’s room without permission.
I had that much manners.
“Anyway, they say that the girls of the houses that are there need a lot of care.”
I left a note with some final words for her and went home.

<Lee Hye-ri’s POV>
“Brother…….”
Lee Hye-ri woke up only in the evening.
“What about tutoring?”
She realized the situation belatedly, opened her eyes wide and jumped out of her seat. Outside the window, it was already dark, she was lying on the sofa, her voice cracked, and Kim Si-woo disappeared.
“Is it over?”
When did it end?
I remember being punished for not being able to endure the training he had suggested. I was so confused from being whipped all over my body that I couldn’t remember anything more than 20 minutes.
“Isn’t that, happened…”
She looked over her entire body urgently.
It was strange.
There was not a single scar on her body.
There were clearly red marks left.
“What the heck…….”
Do you really think that you hit without hurting?
He wasn’t joking, was he?
I don’t know. The pain I felt was real.
“Ha…….”
She sighed and looked at the bright red marks on her wrists. They were marks of her struggling, of her having been handcuffed.
It was a scar that showed that the corporal punishment she had received was real. It hurt like crazy.
It was unbearable.
“Do I really have to keep doing this?”
He was suspicious. He said she had the talent for a tank, but judging by his attitude…
“I feel like you’re just trying to harass me.”
Actually, he used to train Ah-ra in a strange way from the beginning. He took off her clothes and massaged her entire body.
Hot.
“Ugh… I guess I should be thankful he didn’t make me do that.”
Lee Hye-ri bit her lip as she touched her wrist. Every time she looked at this scar, the pain and shame she had felt came flooding back.
“Only until the end of vacation…….”
One month.
If there are no significant changes in that time, I will stop.
Then I will throw away this strange training method and go back to the original training method.
“How did Ah-ra endure such arduous training?”
No, rather, it may be that she became stronger because she endured the rigorous training. Her eyes, filled with doubt, caught sight of a fluorescent notepad.
-Do the endurance training that you did today once a day.
– Write down the number of times you failed and succeeded each day and send it to me via text message. If you failed, also write down, after which set you gave up on.
– Be prepared for the number of times you have failed, we will carry out corporal punishment.
“Do I have to do that again?”
A chill ran down my spine. Could I really last a month?
-After you finish your endurance training, drink this mixed in hot water. It is the bone powder of Merubasa. It will relieve the fatigue accumulated in your muscles.
Next to the note was a bottle containing white powder.
Merubasa’s Bone Powder.
It was a dungeon item obtained from snake-shaped monsters in Class A dungeons. It was a medicine that was traded at high prices among hunters because it was effective in relieving muscle pain and aches.
“When I see things like this, I don’t think he have any skills at all…….”
I don’t know.
I really don’t know.
She saw the message written on the next page.
-I believe you can become a great tanker. So don’t give up halfway and keep going. I will make you…
“Sigh, this really annoys me.”
I mean, I felt relieved when I saw this message.
Lee Hye-ri took Merubasa’s bone powder.

<Kim Si-woo’s POV>
-Teacher, please help me.
I got a text from Yu Ah-ra. It was an urgent text, unusual for her.
“What’s going on?”
T.N.
Cliffhangerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
What’s the probability of calling police after such encounter??
