"Give me your number..."
"My number?"
This road, too, Yoon Seo-ah asked Kang Min-ji for her number.
"Really?"
What's different from before is that I prepared two special potions to feed Kang Min-ji and Yoon Seo-ah...
I decided to give up stress reduction from the 'Special Semen' skill. Two bottles of special potion with only physical enhancement applied.
'Shooting 5 times is too much...'
It's hard to shoot twice by myself, but four times is not something a person should do.
Both of them have already drunk the potion. Yoon Seo-ah's reaction was less than before, but I thought it was worth it enough with just the physical enhancement ability, so I called 3 million again this time.
In other words, the value of my semen doubled.
Kang Min-ji, who initially refused, drank it after seeing Yoon Seo-ah drink it.
'Even if the visuals are like that, am I that untrustworthy?'
Anyway, it's not bad so far.
"Just.... wait a minute! I'll tell you! , Can I speak casually?"
"Do as you please..."
I watched the two of them and fell into thought.
Kang Min-ji, who ate the physical enhancement potion, was almost no different from Kang Ju-won physically.
Even so, if Kang Min-ji lost, what should I do to make Kang Min-ji win?
"When you two spar... I'll go with you too"
"Huh? Okay! Let's do that, Seo-ah, please take care of me in the future"
"Okay, thank you"
'Sparring... might not be bad'
There was still time before the sparring with Kang Ju-won started. Wouldn't it be helpful to Kang Min-ji if I acted similarly to Kang Ju-won before that?
"Okay, then let's go sparring, Min-ji-ya"
"What?"
"I like it..."
***
We are following Yoon Seo-ah.
"Seo-ah, is it really okay for us to come here?"
"Yeah, if I allow it... you can accompany me."
We boarded the elevator to use the Diamond Training Room, which only the top students can use.
The glass elevator showed everything outside, and the scenery changed as the floors went up.
I knew that they differentiated based on grades to induce infinite competition, but isn't this too much?
"The discrimination is too severe."
The training room we use smells like sweat, but this place has a state-of-the-art hotel-like atmosphere.
After passing through a hallway that felt like classical music should be playing, the entrance appeared.
When Yoon Seo-ah scanned her smartwatch, the Diamond Training Room opened with the message that it was approved.
The lights in the dark room started to turn on the moment I stood at the entrance.
"Wow... amazing"
"Come in"
"But it's not that big?"
"Wait..."
When Yoon Seo-ah operated the remote control, a Gate was created in the space blocked by the wall, and suddenly the room began to widen endlessly.
"Wow..."
"You use this space alone?"
Kang Min-ji and I, who entered the Diamond Training Room, could only admire it.
"Don't go in before setting it up..."
I was stopped by Yoon Seo-ah when I tried to enter the wide space.
A moment later, when Yoon Seo-ah finished operating, a sparring arena was created on one wall, and equipment lockers were created on the other.
"You can go in now"
"What are you doing, Min-ji-ya? You have to prepare"
Before this one-on-one sparring, I decided to spar with Kang Min-ji for the purpose of warming up.
"...Okay, warming up is also important"
Kang Min-ji and I picked up swords and gauntlets in the corner. Both of them had cotton on the outside, so it felt like there would be no big impact even if we got hit.
"Kang Ju-won... Kang Ju-won..."
The experience Kang Min-ji needs is facing Kang Ju-won.
Since I already have experience sparring with me, I can say that I am somewhat familiar with fighting a swordsman.
'I'm not that great, but I'll have enough experience sparring with a swordsman'
That's because Kang Ju-won's swordsmanship is not bad, but not outstanding.
'If you only consider swordsmanship without abilities, I might be better...'
The problem is Kang Ju-won's acceleration ability. Without the acceleration ability, he can't break through Kang Min-ji's guard, but it's different when he uses acceleration.
Everyone knows how advantageous it is to move one tempo faster than the opponent without having to say it.
You can't win by just defending. Even if you succeed in defending, the shield will be damaged to some extent by the impact.
'Kang Ju-won's ability to control distance is top-notch'
Even if his swordsmanship is lacking, his ability to utilize the advantages is excellent. He maximized the advantages of the longer reach to attack and did not give distance through his acceleration ability.
In addition, even if Kang Min-ji used her explosion ability, he made it meaningless with his acceleration ability.
'It's difficult... it's difficult.'
Let's follow his movements for now.
"Hoo... it's been a while"
"I know"
Yoon Seo-ah stood next to us like a referee.
"Should I put up a shield?"
"No, it's okay. You even lent me the training room, you don't have to do that much"
Kang Min-ji seemed to think it was unconscionable to ask for that much, but having a shield gives you psychological leeway.
It's the same condition in sparring, so it's good to make it as similar to the real thing as possible.
"That's good, please"
"Okay"
"No, Seo-ah"
With Yoon Seo-ah's help, a shield was created that wrapped around Kang Min-ji and my body. When the preparation was over, Yoon Seo-ah quietly shouted.
"Then... start."
Kang Min-ji took an aggressive stance because of her past sparring memories.
She charged forward with the gauntlets that came down to above her elbows.
As much as she couldn't narrow the distance and was ridiculed in the past sparring, it seemed like she was thinking of digging in this time.
'Min-ji also knows that she has to narrow the distance'
I attacked Kang Min-ji's gaps sharply, paying attention to distance control like Kang Ju-won, but the defense was stronger, perhaps because of the results of her efforts.
"Are you just going to run away again?"
Kang Min-ji knew that fact and provoked me, but
"This is Kang Ju-won's style"
"This is... Kang Ju-won's style?"
The moment I said it was Kang Ju-won's way, Kang Min-ji's eyes changed. She seemed more focused than before.
It's natural because she was so upset that she cried after losing before the regression.
'But... this is meaningless'
Kang Min-ji, who was doped with my potion, became stronger than me. If this happens, it was impossible to follow Kang Ju-won's movements, who didn't give distance and ridiculed her.
'Can't help it...'
I had no choice but to draw up Mana. Kang Min-ji narrowed her eyes and glared at the power that had become stronger than before.
"Hey, loser. Are you using Mana now?"
"Kang Ju-won's ability is better than this, I won't use it for attack, so focus on dealing with it."
"Well... if that's the case..."
I swung my sword like Kang Ju-won did. I drew up more Mana to imitate the acceleration ability in the middle.
"If you lied... be prepared later"
Kang Min-ji did not use Mana even in unfavorable situations. She muttered Kang Ju-won's name and did her best in sparring.
'It will be different even if you only recognize that you can accelerate.'
My movements are actually slow compared to Kang Ju-won. But if you deal with attacks that are out of tempo like this, you will develop some resistance.
"Ugh...."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm okay, so keep going"
Kang Min-ji, who was attacked and fell, quickly got up. I'm a little worried, but she didn't use Mana for attack.
'Fortunately, there's Yoon Seo-ah's shield.'
"Anti-magic... show me..."
I heard Yoon Seo-ah muttering next to me, but I ignored it.
***
"As expected... Kang Ju-won won."
"..."
It seems more difficult to make someone else win. The reason I beat Skeleton Knight and Yoon Seo-ah is because the experience of repeating all the save roads remains.
I can memorize how the opponent will react to my movements, and I can actually induce a situation that is favorable to me.
'But Min-ji's case is different'
Kang Min-ji can't do that. If Kang Min-ji's movements changed, Kang Ju-won's movements also changed.
Kang Min-ji doesn't gain experience by repeating the road, and it was difficult to change Kang Min-ji in a short time.
"Still... it was a pity"
I thought about having Kang Min-ji use projectiles, but there was a limit due to the nature of the gauntlets.
It's not impossible to throw something, but the precise action of pulling the safety pin of a grenade before throwing it, there's no way you can do it with those thick gauntlets.
'Even if I buy her equipment, she refuses'
I used the save file in the front to somehow collect money and gave Kang Min-ji a gauntlet as a gift, but I got scolded a lot.
She got angry, saying, "Did you think I would like it if you gave me something like this?" and her favorability disappeared, so I gave up on that.
'I like that she's a girl with a sense of values, but... please accept this. You glass fish...'
Considering the gap between the two, it can be said that getting this much result in a short time is amazing.
She fought better than before, and actually succeeded in pushing Kang Ju-won.
"Still..."
It hurts to see Kang Min-ji hitting the ground because she's disappointed.
A disappointing defeat, but the fact that it is a defeat does not change.
What I want is Kang Min-ji's victory.
Yes, you can't always win. If I spar with Yoon Seo-ah, who is not careless, I can't win even if I repeat it thousands of times.
But.
'How can I get over it when Min-ji cried?'
Yoon Seo-ah suddenly caught my eye. Yoon Seo-ah is the top student of the Academy. She has won through sparring with various cadets.
Yoon Seo-ah is a genius, so she may not be able to think from Kang Min-ji's point of view, but wouldn't Yoon Seo-ah be able to suggest a different direction?
"Hey, Yoon Seo-ah"
"..Huh?"
"How do you think Min-ji could have won?"
Yoon Seo-ah is the top student. Other parts are hidden by Yoon Seo-ah's power, but being the top student basically means that she is strong in theoretical parts as well.
She dozes off with sleepy eyes most of the time in class, but always answers the professor's questions without hesitation.
'There's also an opinion that she doesn't listen because she already knows everything'
"Um..."
Yoon Seo-ah seemed to be thinking for a moment.
"Kang Ju-won is fast."
"Yeah, he's faster than Kang Min-ji."
"If I were Kang Min-ji... I would have made an unavoidable attack"
"That's easier said than done..."
An unavoidable attack, come to think of it, I remembered the technique Yoon Seo-ah used in the sparring with Yoon Seo-ah.
Ice shotgun that she fired the moment I approached.
It was an attack that spread over a wide range, so it was difficult to defend or evade. I already knew that she was attacking, so that was the extent of it, but if not, I would have been injured like when I was first attacked.
"Are you talking about what you shot at me? The one that put crystals in my body"
Can Kang Min-ji attack like that?
"That... did it hurt?"
"?... It did hurt."
"That... sorry, I wasn't in my right mind at the time..."
"Oh.... oh, it's okay"
I was puzzled to see Yoon Seo-ah apologizing now when she didn't react at all in the sparring arena. Is this also because her favorability has increased?
"Anyway, you're saying to use something like a finishing move?"
"Because it's an explosion... it will be hard to avoid"
Finishing move, the most active and intensive technique among techniques
"Because Kang Min-ji throws a punch..."
It's about gathering all the Mana and throwing a punch. A punch that contains all the strikes
Even if it didn't touch, if Kang Min-ji's fist exploded, Kang Ju-won would be embarrassed.
What if Kang Min-ji uses her finishing move when he's off guard?
"If Kang Min-ji becomes a Fire Punch..."
"Fire Punch?"
No... Kang Min-ji's unique ability is explosion,
Yes... a fist that explodes everything.
"Yes... Nuclear Punch, Kang Min-ji is now Nuclear Punch"
