Episode 78: Hypnotist, Han Mina (10)

Han Mina, who was heading to the meeting place to receive private tutoring from Kim Si-woo, checked her skill points with the status window open.

[Current points: 73/241]

No matter how many times she checked, it was the same. The maximum point had increased.
Even though it was only 1, she had achieved something.
For the first time, she felt that ten million won was not a waste.

‘He was sincere.’

But the excitement of the score increase subsided and her mind became calm again, and Yu Ah-ra’s growth came to mind.
The feeling of going up a level with one massage.
Han Mina also saw it and felt it from the side. Yu Ah-ra had grown unbelievably. Of course, it was only a temporary experience.
It was a power that would return to its original state after time passed, but Han Mina knew. If you go to a higher place once, the next time would be easy.

Didn’t Kim Si-woo say that once she’d experienced it, her next growth will be faster?

The experience of becoming stronger, even temporarily, is probably the secret to the growth of Kim Si-woo’s students.
Taking off their clothes and allowing their bodies to be massaged by men. They showed amazing growth even though he only gave massages.

But she only worked for 1 week and got 1. It was such a small change.

‘But…….’

Han Mina’s face turned red. She absolutely can’t do it.
‘How could I do it?’
She had absolutely no experience with men. Even her personality was timid.

“Ugh…….”

‘I can’t.’
‘I can’t.’
‘I said I wouldn’t do it in the first place. In return, he said I would only pay half of the tuition. But.’

‘I’m feeling greedy.’

It was an opportunity to gain more than she had ever gained before. There was so much to gain through hypnosis that Han Mina couldn’t be satisfied with this.

“Let’s talk.”

Han Mina also wanted to try a new type of class from Kim Si-woo. Like the class he gave to Ah-ra.

She wanted to grow one step further than she was now.
She wanted to become the celebrity Han Mina who could use self-hypnosis semi-permanently.
She wanted to throw away her weak self and be reborn as a new Han Mina.
The fact that she could speak loudly to people she normally wouldn’t talk to and that she could stand up confidently now was all thanks to her other persona, created through hypnosis.

So, she needed a stronger hypnosis. A hypnosis that would make her into the celebrity Han Mina for a long time.

‘If you talk, he will listen’, she said, while looking herself in mirror in window.

Celebrity Han Mina. Because she is a celebrity who is loved by the public.



“No.”
“Yes?”
“I said no.”
“But…….”
“Mina, you were the one who decided not to teach that way, right?”

Kim Si-woo was resolute.

***

‘I expected it’, Kim Si-woo felt delighted, when Han Mina asked him.
Since she had experienced growth in the ordinary way, she would want to grow faster.
From the text message saying she wanted to have class an hour earlier and the way she shouted that her skills had improved as soon as they met, he could feel that she wanted to become stronger.
However, his answer did not change.

Now it’s time to start getting intimate. Shouldn’t he take the lead in class?

It was Han Mina who approached Kim Si-woo from the beginning and made a deal.
She wanted to observe Yu Ah-ra’s class, and she wanted a slightly healthier way of learning, not the way he did.
Because she wanted it, Kim Si-woo listened. The reason he listened to what she wanted was simple.

Because Kim Si-woo wanted Han Mina to immerse herself in his class.
He was going to slowly sink her without even realizing that it was swallowing her up like a swamp.
And after realizing that Han Mina couldn’t get out of the swamp, Kim Si-woo was going to make her his ‘student’.

So Kim Si-woo declined resolutely.
To make his lessons more valuable to her. To make it harder to let go of something that was hard to get.

‘It takes time.’

The speed at which the points grew was beyond his expectations.

[Han Mina]

-Mana: B [Full Mana: Adaptability SS]

It must be because of her SS adaptability rating. She doesn’t know, but she was a student with great potential.
Unlike Yu Ah-ra, who was able to be active in various fields due to her high adaptability in agility and stamina, including mana, Han Mina was the student whose potential is in mana.

Since it grew faster than expected, it’s okay to take it easy for a bit.

“Open the book. I’ll start with the theory. If you want to practice, you can do it whenever you want. But there’s nothing more to it.”
“Is it because of money? If money is the issue, then even now…….”

Kim Si-woo shook my head.

“I don’t want to force something on someone who said they didn’t want to do it.”
“I, I’m okay now… It’s okay if I do it.”

Han Mina’s face turned red. It was because everyone knew what it meant to not care. She was prepared to take off her clothes in front of Kim Si-woo for the sake of growth.

“No.”
“Why, why are you doing that?”
“If you change your mind later, it’ll be a problem. Give me the money. I’ll rush in as if I can’t accept it. And…….”

I took out the contract and handed it to her.

1. A calls herself Kim Si-woo and B calls herself Han Mina.
2. A will tutor B and B will deposit 10 million won in return.
3. B will comply with A’s class curriculum and will not refute any objections.
4. If A’s tutoring is successful, B must join A’s guild after graduation and work in A’s guild for at least one year.
4-1. B will determine the success of the tutoring.
5. A will never do anything rude to B and will not force B to take off her clothes if she refuses.

“If I were to do the class you mentioned, you would have to take off your clothes and I have to touch your body, which would violate clause 5 of the contract.”
“Oh, no! But……”
“I have to do it according to the contract. Right?”
“Ugh, ugh……”
“And you remember the contract, it says you won’t argue with that, right?”

He pointed to Article 3 while looking at Han Mina, who still didn’t understand.

“Ugh, over there……”
“Then let’s have class. Don’t talk nonsense.”

Han Mina, who had clenched her fists, sat down immediately.

“Okay. Please continue with the lesson.”

Her eyes, biting her lips, showed a deep determination.
‘I don’t know what determination it was. But it was clear that it was not ordinary.’

However, regardless of Han Mina’s determination, the classes proceeded smoothly without any special incidents.

“That’s all for today’s lesson. Just keep circulating and accumulating mana like you’ve been doing so far.”

As they started an hour early, they finished an hour earlier.
Kim Si-woo had no intention of having more classes because they gathered early.
If Yu Ah-ra or Lee Hye-ri had wanted to, then he doesn’t know.
Their favorability bar is already full, and they decided to become members of his guild in the future.
However, Han Mina was different.

“Hey.”

As Kim Si-woo was trying to get up from his seat, Han Mina grabbed his wrist.

“What?”
“Please teach me the private lesson tomorrow too. I’ll pay you whatever you want.”
“Do you want to teach me another lesson?”
“Yes. You said you won’t teach the lesson you taught Ah-ra today. Then, wouldn’t it be okay to teach me another lesson?”

‘Does she believes that if he doubles the classes, her growth will double? Or is there some other ulterior motive?’

“I don’t mind taking more classes, but don’t think I’ll teach you with same as I used on Ah-ra.”

Han Mina’s hand, which was holding Si-woo wrist, was trembling.

“Oh, I know. You just have to take one more class. I’ll give you 20 million won. You don’t have to take that class.”
“…… Got it.”
“Tomorrow is a free day, so I’ll see you in the morning. That’ll probably be better.”

“I don’t have time to do my homework. Is that okay?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“Okay.”

Judging from the expression on her face, she had another plan. And Kim Si-woo had rough idea, what it is.

‘It might be okay to hang out together once.’

The important thing is that Han Mina makes his class meaningful.

***

Han Mina was taken aback by Kim Si Woo’s firm rejection. She never thought he would reject her.
It was Kim Si-woo who wanted the body-touching class in the first place.
Han Mina had rejected that.

‘Could it be that because I rejected him, his pride was bruised?’

Han Mina thought about it, but there was no sign of it.
Kim Si-woo treated her with the same attitude and posture as before throughout the class.

It was definitely an embarrassing class, so it was true that she had refused first.
At that time, she had more doubts than trust in Kim Si-woo’s skills. She was also afraid that there might be some trickery.
However, now that she had actually grown, it was different. She had no doubts that she would grow even faster than that.
So she also thought that if she asked earnestly, he would listen.

‘Was I too naive?’

Kim Si-woo didn’t change his mind until the class was over.

‘Isn’t there a way?’

‘If things continued like this, it seemed like he would never touch me.’

Then, her eyes caught sight of her skills.

Hypnosis (S)

Her skill that worked on anyone. This was definitely….
It worked on Si-woo too.
Han Mina don’t know if it was because he was a high-level hunter, but she had to use a lot of points, but it definitely worked.

‘But is it really possible?’

She didn’t even know how much points it would cost. If it had asked for a small amount, she might have just wasted points. In that case…

‘I’m asking you to do it, even if I had to hypnotize you, even if it costs me all my points… ‘

It took Han Mina a day to do that. She couldn’t wait until next week. She wanted to experience it right away and feel the effects.

Of course, if that happens.

‘He can’t stand in front of the celebrity Han Mina, right?’

Just casting self-hypnosis costs 100 points.

That’s okay though. Just to see if it really works or not. Once she succeeded, she could take that class once a week from then on.

Permanent hypnosis was impossible because points were needed periodically to maintain self-hypnosis, but semi-permanent hypnosis was possible for others. If hypnosis was successful, memories could be erased as well…

Gulp.

Han Mina felt apologetic for Kim Si-woo, but this was something he brought upon himself.

‘If you had said you would do it today, I wouldn’t have done it.’

It was embarrassing, but it would be okay.
It was burdensome to stand in front of Kim Si-woo without using self-hypnosis. After all, he had already seen her true self.

‘I can do it.’

‘Because I am Han Mina.’

***

“Hmm, what do you want to do?”
“That, that, that…….”

As promised to Han Mina, Kim Si-woo came to the room she had rented for class the next morning to have an additional lesson with her.

But when he entered the room, a woman completely different from the usual Han Mina was standing inside.
She was wearing a mask and sunglasses, her shoulders hunched, and she was hesitating and looking at him.
Because she was standing awkwardly, her large breasts were not even visible.
‘Who would think this woman was Han Mina?’

There was a reason why even the paparazzi couldn’t take pictures.

‘She uses self-hypnosis.’

When he saw Han Mina’s true form, he could tell at a glance that she had come out without using hypnosis.

‘You’re planning on hypnotizing me, after all.’

As expected, it was fast. That meant that Han Mina and Mina were also impatient.

It’s not that Kim Si-woo didn’t expect it. He just didn’t know about Han Mina, neither did he fall for her hypnosis.

SS-grade charisma. Unconditional defense against low-grade mental attacks is possible.

“Haa, haa, it’s not, it’s not something else…….that…….”

Han Mina, wearing a mask, thrust her cell phone at me.

“Hey, look at this.”

The hypnosis app on her phone was spinning around.
