I Installed a Dating App and These Otherworld Virgins Became Obsessed With Me. 125

## Chapter 125 – 125. Assassin

#125. Assassin

Thump. I returned home and threw myself onto the bed.

The density of events in the last hour on the way home was so high compared to the rest of the day that I felt like my head couldn’t properly process it all.

I could still vividly recall the Master Magician Tower Lord’s appearance as she sucked and bit my dick, and the sensation of it.

Moreover, I felt her gaze as she filled a flask with my semen, looking at my still stiff and erect dick as if regretful.

At this rate, I felt like I would really cross the line, so I had no choice but to quickly escape the workshop.

‘…It’s really hard to resist.’

I wanted to knock the Master Magician Tower Lord down and fuck her like a dog. But I wasn’t confident I could handle the aftermath.

If it got out that the guy engaged to the successor of the Seongbuk Choi Clan had also fucked the Master Magician Tower Lord, who was the successor and acting head of the Jinryu Han Clan, my head might really end up on a platter thanks to assassins sent by the two families.

Of course, Grandma Choi Young-ok and the Master Magician Tower Lord wouldn’t go that far, but in a prestigious family with a long history like a magical lineage, it wouldn’t be strange to have one or two rebels who defied the head of the family’s orders.

‘Collaborating on research is only once a week, so I don’t have to worry about tomorrow, but…’

Given the Master Magician Tower Lord’s personality so far, I couldn’t guarantee that something like this wouldn’t happen again next time.

“Hoo…”

With a complicated heart that I couldn’t confide in anyone, I wanted to drink, but my magic power and internal energy automatically broke down the alcohol, so I couldn’t get drunk even if I wanted to.

Unless it was something like Hundred-Day Drunk (百日醉). Now, alcohol was just bitter water to me.

I lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, before getting up.

‘…What’s the point of resting? I need to keep moving.’

I quickly got ready to head to the dojang.

I desperately wanted to fall asleep, but I couldn’t rest easy thinking about Chun Yeo-hwa.

Anyway, thanks to my magic power and internal energy, I only needed to sleep for 3-4 hours, and as a magician, my mental fatigue was quickly relieved with meditation.

My master compared humans who had awakened magic power to iron.

-The more you hammer iron at high temperatures, the harder it becomes. The same goes for humans.

At first glance, it seemed like he was rationalizing a crude, Spartan training method, but it was surprisingly true.

Instead of catching a taxi after leaving the house, I went up to the roof of the villa.

After all, going to the dojang would just result in training that consumed magic power and internal energy like yesterday, so I thought I’d use my lightness skill on the way to deplete some internal energy.

Although Thoughtless Lightning Body (無想電身) was fast, it consumed a lot of internal energy. I even deliberately lowered the speed.

In that state, I skipped across the rooftops of buildings, heading towards the dojang.

I could feel my internal energy rapidly depleting.

Compared to before, the amount of internal energy itself hadn’t increased much. That was partly because I hadn’t deliberately practiced Qi circulation.

Right now, my dantian was in a precarious state, with Golden Vajra Qi (金剛氣) and demonic energy (魔氣) in a delicate balance.

I needed to somehow increase the size of the demonic energy itself.

There was a time when I considered getting rid of the demonic energy and focusing solely on the Thoughtless Vajra Art, but I quickly gave up.

The Thoughtless Vajra Art was both a martial arts manual and a collection of sayings (語錄) left by the Vajra Ascetic.

He said that the Thoughtless Vajra Art was a martial art that pursued harmony.

But ironically, because he only focused on good during his life, he couldn’t advance to a higher level.

The Vajra Ascetic left a warning to future generations in the first chapter of the Thoughtless Vajra Art.

-All things must harmonize with each other in order to truly shine.

I didn’t fully understand the meaning of those words, but for now, I was trying to find a way to increase the size of the demonic energy itself in order to follow his instructions and achieve harmony.

Of course, that wasn’t as easy as it sounded. To increase the demonic energy, I needed a demonic internal energy cultivation method, not an orthodox martial arts one.

That was impossible for now, as I couldn’t go to Chun Yeo-hwa.

As I ran while thinking about this and that, I arrived at the dojang building.

When I opened the door and went inside, I met my master’s gaze as he stood there with his arms crossed.

“Are you a thief?”
“Huh?”
“Don’t run around on the rooftops of buildings.”

I had been walking normally since quite far away, but if he could notice that, how wide was my master’s sensory range?

I suddenly wondered exactly what level my master’s martial prowess was at.

Judging by the fact that he could create Kang Qi, he was definitely an A-rank hunter.

But there were so many A-ranks, and the criteria for S-rank were so high that there were often significant differences in skill even among A-ranks.

‘Still, he must be in the upper ranks of A-rank.’

Otherwise, there was no way I wouldn’t be able to gauge his level.

‘…By the way, are pheromones not effective on my master?’

He must have been directly exposed to my pheromones before I created the magic armor, but he never really showed any particular reaction.

‘To be able to resist my pheromones that even the Master Magician Tower Lord reacts to, is it a characteristic of the Silver Wolf Clan?’

Well, it wouldn’t be strange for the clan of the infamous Triad boss to have some kind of ability.

Thwack!

Before I could think anything else, a wooden sword slammed into the back of my head.

“Your swordsmanship is disorganized.”
“…You could have just said so.”
“Swing it one more time instead of complaining.”

That day, I swung my sword until I was on the verge of collapse, just like usual.

I wanted to ask my master about various things, but I couldn’t find the right timing.

***

The day before, I had returned home exhausted and didn’t go to bed until 4 a.m. because I was engrossed in my assignments.

Around 7 a.m., I got ready and headed to the Magic Tower.

“…What’s that?”

There was a fairly large crowd gathered in front of the Magic Tower.

Most of them were holding cameras, and they were definitely reporters. I had a bad feeling.

Ding, a text message arrived.

It was from Grandma Choi Young-ok, telling me that reporters had gathered around the Magic Tower to cover me, so I should try to sneak in as discreetly as possible.

She also added that I should stop by her workshop later.

I didn’t know why the reporters had suddenly gathered, but it was bound to be a hassle if I got caught.

[Phantom Shifter].

I cast an invisibility spell on myself and passed through the reporters unnoticed.

“Ah, when is he coming?”
“Let’s wait a little longer. Surely he won’t skip out on the second day, will he?”
“You never know. He’s a magician, after all. And a ridiculously promising genius magician at that. He’s probably a bit arrogant, right?”
“…I guess.”
“But is this really true? He created a circle on his own, and he’s already at the 2nd circle in less than half a year of learning magic?”
“Hey, don’t doubt it, okay? I got the information from a reliable source.”
“No, it doesn’t make sense logically. Unless the Magic Tower is openly pushing him to be the next Master Magician Tower Lord, where else would such a monster come from? He’s not even from a magical lineage, and he’s a commoner. It’s suspicious as hell. The current Master Magician Tower Lord isn’t even old enough to retire, so what does it mean that they’re pushing such a monster?”
“…What does it mean?”
“What else could it be? Internal power struggles within the Magic Tower.”

There wasn’t anything particularly noteworthy, so I listened with one ear and let it out the other.

As expected, they were reporters who had gathered after hearing about me.

Now that I had officially joined the Magic Tower, even Grandma Choi Young-ok couldn’t completely control the information, so it couldn’t be helped.

But I didn’t expect the information to spread so quickly among the reporters.

‘Well, I saw yesterday that quite a few students knew about it, so there’s no way the reporters wouldn’t know.’

The only good thing was that it seemed like no one knew my true level.

The reporters, like the students and ordinary professors, only seemed to know that I had entered the world of magic on my own and reached the 2nd circle in less than half a year.

I had no intention of catering to the reporters’ news stories, so I quickly entered the Magic Tower. I dispelled the magic in a secluded place and went upstairs.

No matter how trashy the reporters were, they couldn’t just set up cameras in the lobby of the Magic Tower.

But gazes as sharp as cameras were directed at me. It was even worse than the first day, probably because of the reporters gathered downstairs.

I tried to ignore the attention and headed to the classroom.

“Oh, he’s here!”
“The genius magician is here!”
“What, what? Is the interview already over? I was putting on makeup!!”

I’ll say it again, magicians are full of oddballs. Some of them are attention-seekers or have a need for recognition.

Of course, it’s not that strange. No matter how hard you work on magic research, it’s difficult to raise your level, so you want to be rewarded for your hard work.

Money is important, but magicians with strong pride usually want social fame.

“I didn’t do an interview.”
“Huh? Why??”

People recognize me every time I go out and ask for autographs and photos?

Just imagining it made me annoyed.

Of course, I’d be willing to do it for pretty female fans, but assuming that half of the population is female, how many of them are beauties?

Probably less than 30%.

“Hyun-woo is smart. There’s nothing that appeals to the public more than the mysterious concept.”
“Oh…”

I mingled with the girls who misunderstood me on their own and headed to my seat.

“Hi.”
“Ah, hello…”

Lumina lowered her eyes again today and answered in a trembling voice.

I wouldn’t mind if she did this to everyone else, but she doesn’t avoid eye contact or stutter when talking to other people.

She only does this to me. At this point, I couldn’t help but wonder what she saw when she told my fortune that made her act like this.

‘I’ll have to ask her when the antidote is finished.’

I spent my time dozing off at my desk until Professor Lee Chae-won came in.

“Anyone absent today, raise your hand?”
“…Professor, how can someone who’s absent raise their hand?”
“Yoo-jin.”
“Yes.”
“Be quiet.”
“…Yes.”

After Lee Chae-won finished taking attendance, another professor came in and the class started like yesterday.

However, since it was at the 1st grade level, there was nothing to learn, so I spent my time listening with one ear and letting it out the other.

That’s not to say I was just wasting my time. Recalling what Iris had told me, I meditated in a simplified way to modify the magic’s mechanism in a direction that was optimized for myself.

Magic is divided into deployment, construction, and activation, but if you subdivide it by stage, it becomes endlessly complicated.

To modify the mechanism to your liking, you need to subdivide all the stages.

Of course, despite spending the entire morning, there was no progress at all. In terms of progress, it wasn’t even 1%.

In a way, it was only natural. Iris said that re-establishing the mechanism of magic was at the 6th circle level. It wasn’t an area that I, who hadn’t even officially reached the 4th circle, could touch in the first place.

I did it because I thought I might be able to gain something, but the result was disappointing.

‘Was it greedy of me to aim for the 5th circle already?’

I leaned back in my chair and looked at the ceiling.

I felt like both martial arts and magic were missing a screw.

That’s why I tried to get even a clue, but it always ended in failure, so I had a lot of thoughts.

“…Let’s go get some food.”

Nothing will come of just feeling sorry for myself. It was lunchtime.

Lumina was nowhere to be seen, probably because she had gone to the cafeteria early. Her blatant avoidance of me made me feel a little gloomy.

Leaving behind a strange찝찝함, I contacted Choi Hye-na to prevent the same disaster as yesterday.

-The person you are calling is unavailable. Please leave a message after the beep.

Strangely, she didn’t answer the phone. There was no separate text message either.

‘Is she busy?’

It seemed like I would have to eat alone today.

***

After finishing my meal, I headed to Grandma Choi Young-ok’s workshop.

Click, a teacup was set in front of me.

“Have some. It’s tea I received as a gift recently, and it has a wonderful fragrance.”
“Thank you.”

It was my first time drinking black tea. It was sweeter than I thought and delicious. Moreover, I felt a slight boost of energy.

It was black tea brewed with herbs that contained at least spiritual energy.

“So, why did you call me here?”

In response to my question, Grandma Choi Young-ok placed a document envelope in front of me. It looked quite thick.

“What’s this…?”
“It’s a list of the people who pushed for the redevelopment of the area, including the orphanage you lived in.”

Clang, I put down the teacup. If I had been a little later, I might have broken the teacup.

I tried to relax the strength in my hand and slowly looked through the documents. I couldn’t help but frown more and more.

The documents I received contained detailed information about how high-ranking officials, committee members, and the union leader had embezzled various construction costs, compensation, service fees, and design fees in this redevelopment project.

“If you need help, feel free to tell me.”
“…I’m fine.”

It was the first time my magic power had fluctuated like this. It wasn’t easy to control my emotions.

“This is something I have to do.”
