Chapter 54 (Please Teach Me Tutor)
Episode 54: His name lingered in Han Mina’s mind.
<Kim Si-woo’s POV>
Forget Han Mina.
That won’t do.
I can’t cut ties with her here. But I can’t pretend that I’m not under hypnosis at all.
From now on, it was a critical moment. A critical moment that would determine whether or not I could recruit Han Mina as my student.
“I, I don’t like it……”
“…… Yes?”
“I don’t want to forget.”
“T-You have to forget. You, you can’t remember how I look right now.”
The eyes behind the sunglasses were sparkling as if they were about to cry at any moment.
I had the appearance of someone who was not easily hypnotized.
It must have been unfamiliar.
To Han Mina, who had solved everything through hypnosis, it was obvious that the presence of a someone that was not easily hypnotized would feel special.
She was troubled because hypnosis isn’t working.
The desperation was evident in those tearful eyes.
Her’s expression that makes it seem like she’d beg me to come over right away if he weren’t hypnotized.
“Please…….”
I don’t plan on making any more appeals.
Just stop here.
Let her have a strong memory of the trouble she felt.
That’s enough.
There is a saying that the more urgent it is, the more you should take step back.
Now is the time to go back.
Something that makes Han Mina remember me as a person.
Something that leaves a strong impression on her.
That will do.
“Why, I spent a lot of points, but this isn’t right… Please forget about it.”
I looked at the spinning screen of my phone as I listened to her desperate words again, holding the phone in front of my eyes.
[You are attacked by powerful mental attack.]
[You were able to withstand it thanks to the influence of SS-class charisma stat.]
Contrary to her wishes, I was not hypnotized. But…
“…… All right.”
I nodded. As soon as I agreed, Han Mina’s face brightened.
“You really forgot, didn’t you?”
Nods his head, like a robot.
“Thank goodness. Now you and I have never met. I’m really sorry. I, I didn’t mean to hypnotize you like this…….”
Well, I’m sorry, but I don’t intend to end it like that.
“I’m sorry.”
Han Mina, who had bowed and apologized, was about to leave.
“By the way, what is your name?”
Name?
This is a chance.
A chance to make himself memorable to this woman. Remembering a name is very different from just remembering a face.
“Kim, this is Kim Si-woo……”
I answered her, still pretending to be under hypnosis.
Han Mina’s face brightened after hearing my answer.
“Oh, thank you. Really.”
And then she left. Only after confirming that there was no more noise at all.
“Phew.”
I shook my head.
A superstar with hypnotic powers.
I kept thinking that she was too famous. At the same time, I was too envious of the powers she had.
It needed to be approached cautiously. And…
‘This time it’s a success.’
I become a memorable existence for Han Mina. It seemed like it was a success.

<Han Mina’s POV>
“Kim Siwoo, Kim Siwoo…….”
Han Mina, who returned home, repeated Kim Si Woo’s name over and over again.
“It definitely worked…….”
There were a few times when hypnosis didn’t seem to be working properly on him, but eventually, she invested a lot of points and the hypnosis worked.
He was a difficult person.
Who would have thought that there would be someone who can resist her hypnosis?
I asked his name one last time, wondering if the hypnosis had worn off too quickly.
It was her routine to check if the hypnosis was still effective whenever she hypnotized someone to forget their memories.
In fact, if she asked for his name when they were meeting for the first time, if he didn’t say his name, it meant the hypnosis had worn off, and if he said his name, it meant the hypnosis was still effective.
Kim Si-woo said his name obediently, which clearly meant that her hypnosis had worked. She felt relieved.
She had erased the memories of the person she had come into contact with in an unfortunate accident.
She was tormented by a slight sense of guilt, but it was okay.
“I just erased the memories……”
The memory of the particularly strong resistance kept lingering in my mind.
‘He’s a strange person.’
A person who was particularly badly hypnotized. This was the first time hypnosis had failed, and so the memory of it lingered in my mind.
“Hey, there’s no need see him anymore.”
Although she tried to console herself like that, the name Kim Si-woo remained clearly in Han Mina’s mind until the moment she fell asleep.

<Kim Si-woo’s POV>
“Ha, ha. How is it?”
Lee Hye-ri asked, panting.
She was very skillful at blocking and deflecting my attacks. She seemed to be quite used to it now.
She had mastered the basics perfectly in just two or three weeks of learning.
If Sword Saint had seen her, he would have drooled and tried to recruit her.
“Not bad. But…….”
I aimed for Lee Hye-ri’s side with an irregular attack.
“Oh!”
Although Lee Hye-ri reacted late, my wooden sword reached her side faster than her spear could block my attack.
“Don’t be so proud of yourself for only mastering the basics.”
“Why… Uh, would it harm you if you praised me once?”
“Yes, it would be.”
I struck her shoulder with my sword.
“Ugh!”
“The semester starts tomorrow, what if I’m still stuck at the basics?”
“Ugh….”
Lee Hye-ri, who was touching his shoulder, bit her lip.
“Ah, you just have to practice until you graduate! By then, you just have to make it to a level where you can use it in real life!”
“When you become a third-year student, you’ll have to gain some guild experience to get a feel for real life situations. Is that okay?”
“Of course! Who do you think I am? The younger sister of the iron-walled Lee Kang-san……”
“I’ve heard that enough times, so stop there.”
“Ugh!”
“Just don’t forget that after you graduate, you have to be active in our guild for two years.”
“I won’t ever forget. I’ll hone my skills in the teacher’s guild and then go to the Saint’s guild.”
“You’re good at talking.”
I took up my sword again. I needed to show our sassy young lady more of the real thing.
“This time, I’m going to do it like a real battle, so read carefully.”
“Yes!”
“What if I fail this time too?”
Lee Hye-ri’s face turned red at the mention of corporal punishment.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
She adjusted the spear.
“Haa, haa. Why, why can’t I see anything…… hey.”
Lee Hye-ri, sprawled out on the floor, spoke out of breath. Her chest heaved up and down every time she took a deep breath.
“Is it different from when you fought that crazy dog Marcus?”
“Haa, haa……. Yes.”
She said she blocked several of Marcus’s attacks.
He may look like a light person, but he was a S-class hunter.
She must have gained a lot of confidence.
She must have been even more so after showing him that she had grown and convincing him.
“Should I tell you why you can’t see it?”
“What’s the reason?”
“You’re just looking at the sword movements. When you fight, look at your opponent’s eyes.”
“Eyes… right?”
“Yes. Eyes. Then you’ll probably see the answer.”
“…….”
“Okay, today’s practice ends here. Now it’s time for corporal punishment.”
If you talk too long, you’ll only end up with unnecessary words. In times like this, ending it neatly will also help Lee Hye-ri.
“What do you want to get?”
Lee Hye-ri bit her lip and pointed to one.
Corporal punishment combined with striking training. It was spanking.
“Do you really like getting your butt spanked that much?”
“Who, who likes it? This is just the safest……”
“Come to work.”
I sat down on the bed.
“Lie down on your thighs like last time. Take off all your clothes.”
“…… Okay.”
Now she followed my orders quite obediently. Lee Hye-ri turned her back on me and started taking off her clothes.
Swish.
As she took off her sweaty clothes, her pale skin glistening with sweat was revealed.
As she took off her panties, her elastic buttocks made a smooth line.
Thanks to her hip-up buttocks, her rear end was more attractive than any other woman’s.
“Not bad.”
“What, what are you admiring! You said it was corporal punishment!”
“It is also a teacher’s virtue to see his students grow.”
“Benefit!”
Before I could finish my sentence, something flew at me. Without realizing it, I instinctively reached out and grabbed it. It was the blue panties that Lee Hye-ri had been wearing just a moment ago.
I think you threw it away because you couldn’t control your anger at my words.
“No matter how angry you are, if you throw the panties……”
“Ah, ah! Teacher, give them back to me quickly!”
“Didn’t you throw them for me to take?”
“Eww! Don’t do that!”
Lee Hye-ri struggled and tried her best to get back the panties I was holding.
However, it wasn’t easy for her, who couldn’t move freely because she was covering her chest with one hand, to get back her panties.
Lee Hye-ri, who was struggling with her body pressed against me, tried to take them away from me.
She didn’t even seem to realize that her breasts were rubbing against my body.
“Dude, give me the clothes quickly……”
“Okay. Take them.”
The teasing ended there.
I handed her the blue panties she had thrown at me.
They were a little damp from the sweat.
I thought there were other things on them too, but I didn’t mention it. I could see that her already red face had passed the critical point.
“Okay, that’s it for the icebreaker. Put your arms behind you.”
“Ugh, ugh… … .”
I carefully tied up Lee Hye-ri’s arms, who had both arms stretched out behind her.
“Now lie down.”
“…… Yes.”
Now, Lee Hye-ri began to listen to me quite obediently.
She was still a sassy young lady, but I could tell that she trusted me just by the fact that she didn’t rebel against a single word I said.
Lee Hye-ri, lying on top of me with her arms tied.
Now, if I didn’t help her up, it would be nearly impossible for her to get up on her own.
Making her realize that she was in a position where she couldn’t even get up on her own
was the core of this punishment.
“The method is the same as last time. You apologize every time you get hit. You know?”
“Oh, I know.”
Lee Hye-ri, who was climbing on top of my thigh, looked up at me and said.
“Hey, hit me gently.”
She asked with shining eyes like a kitten.
“I’ll think about it.”
I raised my hand, feeling the soft yet firm touch of the woman’s thigh against mine. I
slapped her sweaty, shiny buttocks.
Crack!
“Oops! I’m sorry!”
“What are you sorry about?”
Crack!
“I’m sorry I haven’t mastered the technique properly.”
Crack!
“I couldn’t avoid your attack, teacher. I’m sorry!”
Crack!
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry.”
Crash!
Crash!
Crash!
With each blow, Lee Hye-ri began to spit out the mistakes she had made.
Crack!
“Hey, I’m sorry for talking back to you so rudely!”
Crack!
“I’m sorry for being embarrassed by my failure!”
“Have you reflected on it?”
“Yes. I have.”
Lee Hye-ri’s ears turned red because she couldn’t bear to look at me. And just like her ears, her butt also turned red.
Crack!
“Ugh!”
“I should say I’m sorry.”
“I, I’m sorry…….”
“What are you sorry for?”
“T, that…….”
“You still haven’t reflected on it.”
Crack!
“Gyah! Oh, no! I reflected on it! I’m sorry for thinking you were a pervert teacher.”
“Did you think that too?”
“Ah…….”
Lee Hye-ri, who was desperately trying to find a new reason, closed her mouth.
“You’re a pervert teacher…… Well, normal teachers don’t strip their students naked and spank their butts.”
“…….”
“But I guess you need to punish them for their impertinent thoughts.”
I raised my hand.
Taaak!
“Hmph!!!”
Lee Hye-ri’s waist tightened.
This time, it was a strong blow.
It was an intentional blow.
A way to firmly impress upon her the authority of the teacher, who was unable to resist with both arms tied.
It was a task to imprint that she could not resist me.
“Say it.”
“I’m, I’m sorry, teacher…….”
“Good job.”
And after a solid punishment, a small carrot is put in the mouth.
“Then let’s go one more time.”
“Yes…….”
Now, Lee Hye-ri had no intention of resisting.
Crack!
I gave myself over to the palm of my hand hitting her butt.
Making her say sorry over and over again was a kind of imprinting work.
Making her realize with her consciousness and body that I was superior to her and that I was the teacher who dominated her.
As Lee Hye-ri’s butt turned red, beads of sweat ran down my forehead as well. It also took a lot of stamina to hit her with the right amount of force.
“Haa, haa.”
I saw Lee Hye-ri panting, her body sagging on my thigh. Her sweaty hair was stuck to her face in a mess.
“Sniff.”
I heard a sob and a snot-sucking sound. This time, too, she was shedding tears, unable to overcome the pain like last time.
“Does it hurt?”
“Yes.”
“Now you’re being honest.”
“You hit me so hard.”
I applied ointment.
“Ugh!”
“It’ll get a little better if you apply this.”
“I know even if you don’t tell me…….”
“I guess it worked well last time.”
Instead of answering, she nodded.
“Turn your head around.”
“I-I don’t like that.”
“Do you not want to see me crying?”
“…… T-It’s not that.”
“Really?”
“If I look at your face right now, I feel like I’m going to burst into tears…….
” “Why? Even though you’re being beaten like this, you’re holding it in well?”
“……I’m sorry.”
“What are you sorry for?”
“T, t……. I still haven’t mastered all the spear techniques you taught me.”
“Is that why you feel hurt?”
“It’s not like that…….”
“Really?”
She was silent for a moment. She kept her mouth shut and delayed answering until I finished applying the ointment.
“Umm…….”
She groaned at the thrilling pleasure of the ointment healing her wounds.
After applying ointment to Lee Hye-ri’s buttocks, I untied the rope that bound her arms.
“Stand up and look at me.”
Lee Hye-ri stood up from her seat without saying a word.
She turned around without looking at me.
“Do you think I failed to repay your trust?”
I asked Lee Hye-ri about that.
“Yes…….”
Did I push too hard?
Her voice sounded like she had lost confidence.
It might have been a bit too early for Lee Hye-ri.
The reason she was able to counter Marcus’s attack was because her opponent was an academy student, a friend’s younger sibling, and Marcus had the situation in his hands.
The fights of real people are different.
There are many irregularities and trained speed and strength.
It was not an easy level for a first-year cadet to win.
But if you give her unnecessary compliments here, it will only have the opposite effect.
If it was Yoo Ah-ra, it would be different. But for the current Lee Hye-ri, comforting compliments were poison.
“I’m so disappointed.”
“Huh?”
“The Lee Hye-ri, I expected would never crumble in a place like this. I thought that the Lee Hye-ri with strong self-esteem and a strong desire to improve would be able to break the world’s perception. Not the weak Lee Hye-ri who tries to hide her true feelings.”
I stood behind Lee Hye-ri.
Then I looked at the mirror in front of her as she turned to me.
In the mirror, Lee Hye-ri was looking at me through the mirror with a tearful face.
Lee Hye-ri bit her lip as she made eye contact with me through the mirror.
“Oh, did you know?”
“You were looking at my face in the mirror?”
“…….”
“I saw it by chance when I was giving you corporal punishment earlier. There was a mirror in a strange place.”
“Ah…….”
Was this why she wanted spanking punishment?
It seemed like she wanted to know my true feelings through the mirror.
Lee Hye-ri in the mirror avoided my eyes. She looked as if she had a slight sense of guilt.
I looked at Lee Hye-ri in the mirror and covered her body with a blanket.
“Don’t think too deeply. The more you think, the more worries you’ll have. Right now, Lee Hye-ri, just worry about how to master the Thousand Streams Spear Techniques. Don’t worry about anything else.”
“…….”
“What if I don’t grow? Maybe I just didn’t have talent as a tank? Throw away all the thoughts of being scolded and hurting. Leave those thoughts to me, your teacher.”
“To you, teacher……?”
“Okay.”
Lee Hye-ri said she was sorry for betraying my trust.
The fact that she said that meant that she had started to depend on me quite a bit.
Now it’s time to start laying the groundwork.
The groundwork to make that heart that relies on Lee Kang-san completely rely on me.
“I am your teacher. I can counsel you on all your worries and concerns.”
“A teacher?”
“Yes. Isn’t that what teachers are for?”
“…….”
“So, you can be honest with me. You can show your weak side sometimes. People can’t always be strong. Because I am your teacher.”
After patting her head, he continued.
“I believe in you. That belief isn’t because you’re strong. It’s not because you’re Lee Kang-san’s younger brother.”
“Then…?”
“You look confident, and you have a firm belief in your goals. That’s why I believed in you. So don’t give up. Not until I give up on you.”
“Po, I won’t give up. It’s not like I was depressed because I gave up on becoming a tank.”
Lee Hye-ri turned her head and faced me. Not the me in the mirror, but the real me.
“Okay then.”
I gave a small smile to Lee Hye-ri.
“Do you remember what I said last time?”
“… That tomorrow will be a success, right?”
“Yes. Tomorrow will be a success.”
Lee Hye-ri, who had made eye contact with me, suddenly lowered her head again.
“I will definitely succeed. That is why I will beat you, teacher.”
“Wasn’t it the right time to make eye contact and speak strongly? It felt like the feeling of a student making a decision and a teacher feeling happy watching it.”
“… This is more comfortable for me.”
“Aren’t you going to cry again? It would be bad if you were moved by my words and cried.”
“T-That’s not it!”
It seemed like I wasn’t worried about Lee Hye-ri screaming.
That’s good.
I think she’s feeling a little better.
“Okay. Anyway, that’s all for today’s class. Let’s learn the rest slowly together with the academy curriculum in the second semester.”
“Okay, I understand.”
“Okay, let’s go. I’ll leave some ointment, so apply it well.”
“Oh, bye.”
Lee Hye-ri bowed her head deeply as she greeted him and slammed the door shut.
“Was I a bit harsh?”
***
<Lee Hye-ri’s POV>
Thump thump thump thump thump.
‘Oh, what should I do?’
Lee Hye-ri grabbed placed hand near her heart, that was beating like crazy.
No matter how hard she grabbed it, her pounding heart just wouldn’t calm down.
‘I don’t think I can look the teacher in the eye.’
Teacher Kim Si-woo.
His face was etched into my mind and wouldn’t leave.
Lee Hye-ri tightly gripped the blanket covering her body.
