Chapter 18: Secret Meeting with Professor Sol Lim
[Sexual touch with a heroine confirmed. A reward for the heroine seduction will be awarded!] 『Equipment status window open!』What was this? I tried to understand the sentences that appeared in front of me, but it was so random.
A reward system for seducing heroines? Why didn’t they tell me sooner?
What a rude system.
“What the heck is equipment status?”
I looked around the room to see if there was anything around that would be considered an equipment.
There was an anti-crime stone on the window.
I thought of ‘Equipment Status’ while looking at the stone.
────────────
────[ anti-crime stone ]────▶ Lvl. : Beginner
▶ A stone made by adding some mana magic formula to a mana stone.
▶ An alarm sounds when a person whose body information is not registered approaches.
────────────
“Oh, what’s this? That’s cool.”
It seems to be the ability to show the ability of the equipment in real time.
I was glad to see this function again, since I thought I wouldn’t see it in real life unlike in the game.
To get such a great item from one night of 69. I guess the best way to get strong in this game is to ditch the training and just have sex all the time?
Anyways, since I found out that there is such a function, I should approach them more.
To survive in this harsh world, you have to make use of all that you can.

It’s Monday morning. Today was especially busy.
I snuck into the dorm early in the morning, showered, then got out in my uniform. Thankfully, no one caught me.
“Goood morning!”
I was walking to class, when Young Han Kim walked up and made a conversation.
“You seem tired. It’s not from the Friday incident, right?”
“No, it’s nothing, really.”
A thug with bleached hair worrying about me. I couldn’t tell him that I was tired from sucking on Rumy all night, so I just ended the conversation.
We arrived at the freshman class building after making useless small talk.
Young Han went over to other classmates as soon as he arrived in class as I scanned the room to see if Rumy had made it.
“Rumy, what’s wrong? You are zoning out today.”
“Hmm. Hmm? No, it’s nothing. Hehe.”
“Your face is slightly red, too. Are you ill, or on your period maybe?”
“Yeah….shhh.”
From how she was conversing with Lucy, she seemed fine. Her face was a bit red from a fever, but she didn’t seem to have a concerning problem.
★ Heroine Status[Rumy]
– [ Friendliness : 65 ]
– [ Sexual Desire : 57 ]
– [ Hunger : 30 ]
– [ Tiredness : 45 ]
“What,”
Her friendliness and sexual desire had gone up insanely. But why her sexual desire?
If she didn’t have memories of sucking and biting me, shouldn’t her sexual desire remain the same? Or did her body remember?
Well, it wasn’t a problem for me. Higher score meant good for me.
Drrrr~
“Hello, everyone!”
A female professor in a mini skirt and blush blouse walked in through the lecture hall.
“Woah, we have Hyorin Kang as our theory professor?”
“Who is Hyorin Kang?”
“Don’t you know Doctor Kang?”
I honestly didn’t know who she was either.
Theoretical professor, Dr. Hyorin Kang. Well, I know that she’s quite famous in the field of dungeons, monster studies, and hunter studies, but she’s not that important in the game.
“I heard that the new class this year is exquisite, and I can see the passion in your eyes.”
The professor handed out papers to the students as if she was in a cheerful mood.
“Since today is our first class on modern hunters, I prepared a quiz to assess your prior knowledge. It will be used for review, so please try your best.”
The quiz was a questionnaire with a separate answer sheet, and you had to use mana to write your answers.
‘Oh, you can do it like this.’
I had no idea, since I had never written answers in the actual game.
Unlike the bubbly professor, the questions were pretty challenging. No, they were actually insanely difficult.
It was like a question where they extracted all the tiny print [for your reference] sections and formed the most insane questionnaire.
[1. What monster was first discovered in Tokyo on January 16, 2032, and is characterized by four horns protruding from its head in a humanoid form?]
‘Fumitake Oni’
Of course, the difficulty of the problem was irrelevant to me. I had already finished reading all the textbooks, reference books, and related papers in Hyundai Hunter Studies by actively using my privilege, [Memory Complementary Ability].
It also didn’t take that long to solve, since they only required short answers that didn’t require you to understand the prompts.
I looked around the room after completing the questions.
Alice, the valedictorian, was solving all the problems, but the rest of the class had a solemn face. They were probably anxious that just the pre test was this hard.
Daeun Nam was sleeping on her desk as if she had no interest, and Lucy and Rumy were staring at the first question and struggling still.
‘Should I get some wrong on purpose?’
I thought of getting some wrong on purpose, but I just decided to try my best. I needed to earn the scholarship, too.
After finishing the test, Hyorin Kang, who was enjoying the struggles of the students, suddenly picked up a call and then had to leave. She delayed the class for later.
After pondering what I should do with my free time, I decided to go train.
I needed to check out [Improved Vision]. I was supposed to this weekend, but because of what happened with Rumy, I couldn’t.
I arrived at the training center.
I went into the training room on the third floor, instead of the private rooms like last time.
In the training room, you could practice real-life scenarios with the given curriculum.
[Please choose the training method].
“From level 1 of the evasion magic maneuver training.”
Evasion magic maneuver training is training for melee awakeners rather than wizards. But what I wanted to test was my ability to evade maneuvers using my improved sight.
[100%]
The hologram on the ceiling showed my remaining health percentage. If you fail to evade magic and get hit directly, the above health points will drop. Training ends when your health reaches 0.
[ Level 1 of the evasion magic maneuver training is starting.]
Colorful magic rushes from the front.
‘Improved Vision.’
Ziing-
As soon as [Improved Vision] is activated, the field of view widens. I see a magical ‘path’ flying towards me.
“This is pretty doable!”
The first stage was easier than sparring with Lucy. The flying magics were elemental magics with simple shapes, and the speed was a bit fast, but the path was straight.
[Level 2 is starting.]
*
[Congratulations! Stage 5 72 seconds. This is a personal record! Please select a name to remain in the rankings]
“Ah, fuck. I’m dying.”
It was doable until level 2. It was just a faster version of level 1.
But from level 3, there were all sorts of magic including a combination of bondage, fascination, and paralysis. From level 4, the amount of attacks doubled.
From level 5, there was an increase in the amount of magic, speed and types. In just 72 seconds, my health reached 0.
“What is a ranking?”
There were so many systems that weren’t shown in the game.
[HYL]
I just put in my initials.
[From now on, your stats will be saved with the initial HYL!]
[Ranked 22nd in evasion maneuver training. Let’s work hard for a higher rank!]
“Show me your evasion maneuver rankings.”
——————————–
Evasion maneuver training ranking RANK 1. VP
- Do Il Seo
：
：
：
- HYL
’22nd place? Not bad.’
I had placed 22nd on my first try. From repeated training, I should be able to rank up anytime.
I just realized that I made a smart move by using my initials instead of my full name. I could get unnecessary amounts of attention if I were to rank 1st.
“Ah, but I wish I could have done more.”
The use of [Improved Vision] could be applied much more than just evading attacks.
Still, I couldn’t think of any on the top of my head.
Is there a place where I could get some info….?
“Huh?”
Right, I forgot that I knew a pro in this field.
I just needed to ask professor Sol Lim. She would give me a hint.
I didn’t really trust her from meeting her in real life, but she was a pro in magic.
I got out of the training center after practicing.
I sweat a lot from the evasion training. I first went back to the dorm, showered, changed into the extra uniform and went over to professor Lim’s office.
Most professors in the academy had their own lab.
The entire 2nd floor of the professor’s research center belonged to Sol Lim.
After walking for about 20 min from the dorn, I saw the building.
When I actually arrived at the place that I had only seen in the games, I got a little nervous.
I had never met a professor in my real life, but to be visiting them in this world.
The building had 17 floors. It was highly decorous as the reputation of the academy.
There were over 50 professors researching in this building.
On the first floor was the lobby.
That meant that over 50 professors shared the 16 floors, and Sol Lim was given an entire floor all to herself unlike the others.
This showed her reputation within the academy.
When I entered the professors’ building, I saw a large convenience store, bakery and various shops, and there was the lobby in the center among all the elevators.
I went up to the receptionist.
“Hello, I am here to visit professor Lim.”
“Professor Lim always forbids anyone not on the visitors’ list from entering. Do you have a prior appointment?”
“No, not really, but…”
I wanted to make an appointment, but I had never gotten her contact. This was all because of her trickery last time.
I was walking back to my dorm zoning out, so I had never gotten a chance to ask.
“Did she ever mention letting someone named ‘Hoyeon Lee’ be allowed inside?”
“No, she did not. There is only the dean and chairman on the list.”
“Still, you can call her, right? Could you let her know that the student ‘Hoyeon Lee’ is visiting?”
“Well, she said not to call when a stranger visits.”
“No, I am not a weird person. I will take responsibility, please just call her and let her know that I am here.”
This was so frustrating. Why was this professor so closed-off? Did she have a stalker? I thought Surin Moon was the one with a stalker problem.
“Tsst. That kid thinks that he can just force his way to her.”
“He will come to his senses when he gets expelled.”
I was talking to the receptionist when I heard an open criticism from the other side.
When I glanced over, I saw over ten guys sitting outside the convenience store each snacking on a bag of chips. The big guy in the middle was holding something like a cake in each of his hands. He must be the leader of the gang.
I asked the receptionist about them, since they looked so funny.
“What are those people doing?”
“They are students of the magic research organization.”
“Magic Research organization? That aside, why are they each holding a snack? Are they having a part?”
“Well, the truth is…professor Lim buys a bunch of chocolate cake and chocolate cookies from the store once a week.”
“…Chocolate cake and chocolate cookies?”
“Yes. But some time ago, they found out this fact and then came every week to see her for her snack trip to ask questions about their research project.”
“….”
“Then the professor glances over them, says a couple of words and then goes back to her lab.”
I had just heard a bunch of words that I couldn’t understand.
What kind of a weird fact was this?
“How do they even know when the professor will be out?”
“From what I know, they have 4 groups waiting for 6 hours each shift.”
What the? They were just [bunch of douchebags who have nothing to do in the world organization], not magic research. What kind of bullshit was this?
I knew that the professor teleported to the classrooms because she’s too lazy to walk over, but for them to use her sweet tooth to their advantage…
“Then what was that about the expulsion?”
“Last year, around this time, there were students who visited every day of the month to see her in real life. She gave a warning to expel them if they continued, and the student who didn’t stop was actually expelled.”
“…she’s scary.”
“You still want me to make that call?”
“Yes, I will take full responsibility, so please do.”
The receptionist made a call, still nervous.
Phew, finally. I was able to reach her. She wouldn’t back out on me after all this, right? I got a little nervous.
“Hey, what do you think you are doing?”
The big guy in the middle of the snacking bastards called me over.
“Do you need something?”
I didn’t think that I would have a valuable conversation with them, but I still answered formally looking at his tag that showed that he was a senior.
“Scraps like you don’t know what you are made of.”
The large guy looked down at me with a threatening glare. Surprisingly, he didn’t scare me at all.
“You are a newbie. From the fact that I don’t know your face, you don’t come from a rich family either. Are you just trying to get close to the professor?”
“….”
“Ah, then you wouldn’t know my name, either. I am the president of the magic research organization. Don’t tell me that you don’t know who we are, right? We are the most prestigious organization of the academy.”
The guy named Hyundo Kim turned around and showed his robe which said Magic Research Organization in bold letters.
He was so full of himself.
‘This idiot was just a dweeb.’
I was curious to see how far he would go.
“So, I’m saying that you shouldn’t try to get a taste of the professor. She is our sponsor for the organization. You interfering will get in the way of us getting feedback for our research…”
Ring-
Then a woman in a robe stepped outside from the elevator.
Hyun Do Kim yelped from seeing the lady.
The blue robe was definitely that of professor Lim.
Professor Lim was approaching this way from the elevator.
