Chapter 52 – -51- The Ending That Takes Away Everything From the Main Character (2)
What are the factors that make a protagonist a protagonist?
A unique character? That you participate in all important events? That it plays an important role in the narrative?
Opinions may differ, but no matter what standard I put in, the man in front of me right now seemed too lacking to be called a ‘protagonist’.
“…What did you call for? Instructor?”
The weak-looking man, unable to stand straight in the room, hesitated and stared at me with a stooped posture.
His supposedly handsome face was dry and dry, which, along with his lack of confidence, diminished his attractiveness.
It was the look of avoiding his gaze, not looking directly into the sea.
‘Status Window’
I peeped at the status window of the main character, the man who should have been the main character.
[First Name: Last Name]
[Age: 22 years old]
[Ability: Character of a hero (A), a warrior who overcomes trials (C), ? (Ability blooming)]
[Achievements: Academy Year 3 (B), Progressive Heroic Epic (C), Lover Support (B)]
Scenario Importance: S-Class (Updating…)
[The hero who overcomes trials], A characteristic only for the main character, did not grow at all and remained at C-class.
With each overcoming and navigating crisis, that characteristic of more and more blooming talent never grew.
All the relationships and opportunities that were arranged for him were all stolen by me.
The future of building relationships with various heroines, overcoming crises with them, and becoming an unrivaled existence in the world view was no longer allowed to him.
Seol Eun-byeol, an officer who had high hopes for him and did not hesitate to help him grow, is no longer there.
Because she has become a woman who prefers to make the cadets’ cocks bigger than to make the cadets big.
As an instructor in charge of the 3rd and 4th grade, Instructor Song Jin-ah, who would have helped him appropriately, is no longer there.
Rather than helping her surname’s talent blossom, she just became a clumsy bitch wearing a perverted cosplay.
And that’s not all. Looking at the destroyed scenario, I could see that I had robbed him of all the trials and rewards he deserved.
The fame and money gained by subduing the villainous loan shark, and the realization gained while subduing the villain by dramatically blocking the academy raid.
Even all the romance between academy seniors and juniors and classmates.
His crisis, growth, compensation, and human relationships. Everyone was twisted because of me.
Everything, it was the future I took away.
“I, that, um… Instructor Jeong Jin-hyeok?”
“Oh, I lost my eye for a second. Please have a seat, student name.”
What was so unsettling about it, I looked around the place and sat down with a nervous expression.
“I called the name cadet today because I wanted to give advice on the direction of the name cadet’s growth.”
“…Really! Really!”
He suddenly stood up, grabbed my hand and said.
He was the one who belatedly apologized with a red face and stuttered one after another, perhaps ashamed of his behavior.
Well, his excitement was understandable. The cadets who have received my personal “Growth guidance” Have all grown explosively.
Moreover, the main character’s last name was a cadet who had been evaluated as a sufficiently talented genius until I intervened. Due to the characteristics, he was not able to go through any trials, and his sluggish growth would have frustrated him.
It was an unconscious action that came out of the joy of having caught a clue about the slow growth that made him frustrated and impatient.
‘Nice’
The [Mind Control] Ability worked better when the target was weaker. It didn’t matter which direction it was vulnerable.
Either they passed out after being beaten to the point of being physically tattered, or they inhaled a lot of mind-blurring incense.
A state of being tormented by unresolved desires, longing for the vacancy of the family, etc.
It didn’t matter if it was physical or mental. Any vulnerability that could be exploited was of great help in mind manipulation.
A spirit impatient with a longing for growth. You will be able to make good use of this.
“Listen carefully, Student Name. We need your cooperation.”
“Yes, yes… I see…!” He answered in a very nervous voice.
“Don’t be too nervous, what my ability is. Do you know?”
“Yes! I know [Talent analysis] And [Mental care]!”
Indeed, it was so widely known. I laughed and agreed with his words as he explained.
“…Exactly. However, it requires the full cooperation of the subject to accurately analyze the talents of others and to touch their minds to match their abilities.”
“Total, cooperation?”
“Can you?”
“Yes! I’ll try!” He replied in a cheery voice.
“Okay, then. Shall we start right away?”
“Yeah? Now?” He was flustered as if he was bewildered.
That’s right, because he never thought of receiving a baro-guo.
“Well, there’s no need to waste time, right?”
“I didn’t think I was doing it right now…Just think about it for a moment…”
“…Well, I will respect the judgment of the cadet last name. However, be aware that if it is not this time, your turn may be delayed.”
I tapped my watch and continued.
“I am a busy person.”
“No! I’ll take it right away!” He seemed to answer in a hurry, driven by fear that he might not get my help.
On the head of the sitting man, mana is applied to use ‘mental manipulation’.
“Sir, this is…”
Feeling the resistance, he frowned and asked me.
‘As expected, it’s not as easy as an S-class…’
“This is a one-time operation. Stay focused.”
“My head, this is a bit dizzy…” He said, frowning.
“It’s a subconscious reaction. Try to control it. I need your full cooperation in order for me to unleash your cadet’s talents.”
“…Yes, yes…”
As a result of the combination of the illusion of helping himself, trust in the instructor, and obedience to authority, he obeyed my words and obediently dimmed his magic power.
The magical power that firmly protected his mind gradually faded.
At the point where my magical power was able to touch his mind a little bit, I put in a light hint.
To make subsequent operations much smoother.
“Every time you accept my magic, you feel more and more comfortable.”
An instinctive reluctance to have one’s mind manipulated. In order to suppress it, it was very effective to put these hints in between.
“Ah…Really…Really…”
With a hazy expression on his face, he seemed to be much more relaxed than before, comfortably accepting my manipulations.
Even his magical power, which had been weakly resisting, gave up all resistance and accepted my manipulation according to his changed feelings.
“…It’s okay to take a nap for a while.”
“Yes….”
“Because when you wake up, everything will be fine.”
***
“Brother, are you doing well?”
Sitting on the sofa, my sister Areumie, who was watching TV in a comfortable outfit, greeted me and said.
“Yes, more than I thought. He was kind.”
“Really? You are very scary to me, heehee. Teacher Jinhyeok, where was he so kind?”
“Yes?”
Is that… What was it…? I can’t remember specifically. It felt like I was dreaming of something pleasant and hazy.
“He explained the details of my [Supernatural ability] That I didn’t know well.”
“Really?! That’s great oppa! I was upset because oppa has always been depressed ever since he entered third grade, but I’m so glad!”
As if it were her own business, my younger sister Areumie smiled and said.
“So, what is the way to develop your brother’s abilities?”
To her sister’s question, I said.
“They said there must be trials…”
“Test?”
“Yeah, and they say you should be able to feel the ordeal comfortably.”
“Hmm, that sounds a bit difficult. What the hell is an ‘ordeal’…?”
“Well, you said that an event that I feel painful and that I can’t overcome as much as possible is appropriate.”
“Ugh, I think that would be a little dangerous…? What if I hurt my brother!”
At the words of her sister who was worried about me, I smiled at her and said,
“Don’t worry, the teacher told me [The safe way] As well.”
I explained to her about the way Instructor Jinhyeok Jeong had told her about how to develop my own characteristics without risk.
After hearing my explanation, Areum nodded her head as if she finally understood.
“Aha, that’s why…”
“What?”
At my question, she said as she took her things out of her bag.
“That’s because Instructor Jeong Jin-hyeok unexpectedly gave me this kind of stuff.”
A chunk of translucent silicon was in her sister’s hand.
“…I’m sure…You’ll definitely need it…♥”
***
During my two years at the academy, everything seemed to be going well. My traits made me stronger every day, and the path to becoming the ideal hero I wanted felt like a not-too-distant dream.
That is, until the third grade.
There was no event like a lie, and there was no growth. Even the female friends who used to hang out with me became distant from me at some point.
When I was having a lot of trouble, it was the existence of my lover that supported me.
She became the light of my life, Yoon So-mi
As a childhood friend, she embraced me when I was having a hard time, and became the most precious person to me.
She is now taken away by Instructor Jeong Jin-hyeok.
…No, it’s not stolen. It’s all just realistic acting.
To me A agonizing ordealIn order to give it, the teacher decided to ‘act’ by stealing my lover.
Through realistic acting, I am suffering. He said that if I can overcome it, my characteristics will grow.
From what I’ve heard, he said that if he became [Netorare Mazo], He would be able to overcome this ordeal.
I still don’t know what ‘a man who is happy to be sleeping on’ is, but he seems to have said something to Areum.
Sitting side by side on the sofa with her brother, they made a video call.
A large screen was reflected on the wall, and the call was connected.
My cute girlfriend, So-mi, and Instructor Jeong Jin-hyeok caught my eye, sitting with a shy and uneasy expression on my face.
The sight of two people sitting on one bed in a small room gave me a painful feeling.
“Oh, I’m connected.”
Instructor Jeong Jin-hyeok wrapped his arms around my girlfriend’s shoulders and hugged me so that the two could be seen on the screen at the same time. While her girlfriend avoids her dislike, she is unable to resist her brute strength and she becomes attached.
“Hello, teacher! Hello! Sister!” Her brother smiled and said hello.
“…Hello, Somiya?”
“Yeah, hi babe…”
When the girlfriend on the other side of the screen greets me, Instructor Jeong Jin-hyuk puts his hand on her shoulder and rubs her girlfriend’s breast roughly, as if she doesn’t like it.
At the sight of his girlfriend being treated like a cheap woman, negative emotions crept up.
‘Is this… A [Trial]…?’
“Ugh…Don’t touch it…!” As if the current situation was very embarrassing, her girlfriend was blushing, even her ears were red.
Instructor Jeong Jin-hyeok asked me if I couldn’t hear my girlfriend’s request.
Inside the cadet uniform, he was smiling with a fishy smile while fully enjoying the soft breasts I had never touched.
“Ah, can you see? Name student?”
“…Yes, it looks good.”
It was heartbreaking to see him putting his nose to the scruff of Somi’s neck and sniffing the meat as if evaluating it.
“Hmm…It smells nice…”
“….Transformation”
It was Somi who looked at him with contemptuous eyes.
“Can you hear all of this conversation?”
It was audible too clearly. It was a video call so clear that even Somi’s uneasy breathing could be heard clearly.
Haha, I’m glad. All the negative and painful emotions I’m feeling right now, Areum will help you deal with them.”
“…All right.”
“Then, shall we begin…?”
Watching So-mi and Instructor Jeong Jin-hyeok play the [Situation of losing a precious girlfriend], Which I suffer the most from, I made up my mind to overcome this ordeal by becoming [Nitorare Majo].
