Chapter 21 – Causal Pain 3000x
After listening to the lecture as usual and repeating short pinch massages to Irin, it was time for a duel.
After a short afternoon lecture, I headed straight to the training ground.
Ding-.
A call came to the smartphone.
I took it out of her trouser pocket and checked it.
[Irin: Can I watch the duel too?]
Her last fight with her showed her skills to some extent.
However, it seemed that he was not sure if he would be able to beat Seong Joo-hyeok, a third-year student and a talented person who is said to appear only once every 10 years.
I heard from Lim Kang-tae that it is basically a national rule within the academy to watch a duel only to those who have been permitted by the party concerned.
In other words, I have to allow her to watch the duel with Sung Joo-hyeok.
[ㅇㅇ Come and see.]
[Irin: ㅇㅇ]
The moment she tried to put her smartphone back in her pocket,
Ding-.
The tok notification sounded again.
[Siyoung: Gong Daeseung, I want to see Siyoung duel♡]
[Do as you will.]
… Why are you suddenly using third person speech?
Even attaching a heart.
[Siyoung: Thank you 〉_〈]
When ever emoji.
He’s a bit older than me, but he’s in his 20s.
Are you really in your 20s?
Katrin, who was watching my talk from the side, spoke up at once.
“Master, I want this machine too!”
“You always hang out with me, so I don’t have anything to call you.”
“I still want it!!”
She whirls while spinning in the air.
At times like this, I was just like a child.
If there was something you wanted in the castle of demons, you probably begged for something like this, right?
Come to think of it, she always follows me around and I thought it would be boring.
Especially during class.
I wondered if it would be okay if I bought him a smartphone and let him play.
“Okay, I’ll go to the department store today or tomorrow and buy you a phone.”
“Thank you, master!”
She hugged me and rubbed her cheeks.
Could this be the feeling of a father giving a present to his daughter?
… There is no daughter in this world who wants to have sex with her father.
As she talked with her, she arrived at her training ground.
Choi Da-hyun and Seong Joo-hyeok came first.
He said, raising the corner of her mouth mockingly.
“You must have prepared the resignation application?”
“Senior, did you find out the used market price of an engagement ring?”
“This bastard!”
Seong Joo-hyuk clenched his fists.
A talented person who appears only once in 10 years was unexpectedly quick to react to such an easy provocation.
Soon after, Irin also entered the training ground.
Dahyun Choi looked at her and narrowed her eyes.
“Irin-san has nothing to do with you, so why are you here?”
Lee Rin immediately responded to Choi Da-hyun’s words.
With a grin
“Because I had a party with Daeseung.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
“Party member Daeseung might drop out, but I have the right to watch, right, Dahyun?”
Somehow, it seemed that Choi Da-hyun was glaring at Lee Rin.
Are you a little upset that I had a party with Lee Rin first?
It’s not like the party is just two people, and as long as Choi Da-hyun writes a contract similar to the one Lee-rin wrote, there’s no problem.
Seong Joo-hyeok shouted while setting up the virtual space.
“I’m a busy person, so let’s do it quickly!”
Did you set a schedule after this?
Of course you know that you’re going to bar me.
Well, it’s better if you keep your guard down.
It’s probably because he didn’t even know what skills or fighting techniques I was using.
“It’s because I have to stop by the department store later to buy a phone.”
I tried to get my hands on the machine with Katrin.
But Seong Joo-hyeok shouted, “Wait!”
“Why does she want to go in with the woman?”
“Because it’s my servant.”
“… What? Familiar?”
Even if you didn’t really know me too much, I wondered if you didn’t recognize me.
I took out my familiar horse registration card and handed it to him.
He checked the paper several times in disbelief.
“The monsters summoned by a bastard like you must have been strong.”
Seong Joo-hyeok set up the virtual space again.
And he quickly urged us to put our hands on the machine.
Entered the virtual space.
It was not a field, the basic space.
Spacious interior.
It was a space with nothing.
However, the ceiling wasn’t that high.
It must have been that he was wary of Katrin’s wings.
He pretended to be okay with words, but in reality seemed to be quite concerned.
“Catherine.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Burn it with fire and kill it. Give me a signal when I use fire magic.”
“I get it!”
Catherine heard me and immediately ran to Seong Joo-hyeok.
He deployed shield magic in front of his weapon, a two-handed sword.
“Thin, but too thin!”
She clenched her fist lightly.
A shattered window—, the blue shield shattered like glass shattered.
Seong Joo-hyeok opened his eyes wide as if surprised by Catherine, who was stronger than he thought.
But he swung his sword leisurely.
Across her neck.
A sword that runs at high speed.
She just stood still.
“It’s too light.”
She blocked the blade of the sword coming to her throat with her index finger.
Magic flowed through her fingertips.
“No, nonsense!”
Seong Joo-hyeok gave a shocking voice.
He gave more strength to the point that the blood vessels in his arms popped out.
However, the sword did not think to go further.
Katrin’s index finger was blocked as if it were a wall.
“For calling my master a mere rapist, if you get down on your knees right now, I’ll kill you with less pain.”
“The match is not over yet!!”
He tried to bring the sword back with a sound like a spirit.
But it didn’t budge.
It was as if glue had been put between Katrin’s index finger and the blade, and she didn’t think it would come off.
“You are a stupid human being.”
She spoke softly and lowered her hand, which had been placed beside her neck, down on her.
Then the sword fell to the floor as well.
“Ugh!”
Seong Joo-hyeok’s body, not letting go of the sword, also came running.
Almost lying on the floor, he kept pulling on his sword, trying to get his weapon back somehow.
Catherine grinned.
Through her fingers, she channeled her magic to her sword.
The magic power that passed through the sword body eventually reached his body.
She cried, turning her head towards me momentarily.
“Master, I will go now!”
“Okay.”
I went a little closer to Seong Joo-hyeok.
Looking at his face, she cast a skill.
‘3000 times the causal pain.’
Last Saturday, I learned more about the [Sensitivity 3000x] Skill through a study with Professor Jeong Na-jung.
One of them is that the more specific the sensation is, the greater the effect.
When you eat sugar, it feels much sweeter when you bet 3000 times the sweetness than when you just bet 3000 times the taste.
Likewise, even if you are burned, if you specifically specify that it is burning pain rather than pain, the pain from fire will be much greater.
“Do it now.”
“I get it!”
Katrin created flame magic with the magical power shed on Seong Joo-hyeok’s body through her sword.
The fire covered his body in an instant.
“Gaaagh—!!”
I let go of the sword belatedly, but the fire that had already ignited did not go out.
I was blown away by the smell of burning hair.
The fire that turned the school uniform into ashes soon began to burn Seong Joo-hyeok’s body with direct fire.
Burning pain is what humans feel the most.
Having raised that sense 3000 times, it would be close to hell.
[Dalian stopped due to Seong Joo-hyeok’s death]
It was still a long way to ride, but it died.
He seemed to be a shocker.
The machine forced us out of the virtual space.
In virtual space, no matter how much you kill them, they don’t die.
But the trauma remains.
“You, you, you, you bastard!”
Sung Joo-hyuk pointed at me.
His body and hands trembled.
“Shall we do it one more time?”
“Yeah, yes! I am not lost yet!!”
***
After receiving a message from Gong Dae-seung that it would be okay to watch the duel, Instructor Kim Si-young immediately ran to the training ground.
The duel between Gong Dae-seung and Seong Joo-hyeok has already begun at the training ground.
The outcome of this duel was expected.
Of course, the victory of the gongdaeseung.
It’s even weirder when a future SS-class hunter loses to a student like Sung Joo-hyeok.
‘I should shoot a video.’
Instructor Siyoung Kim took out his smartphone and turned on the camera app.
I started taking pictures of two people in the virtual space on the monitor, no, three people including the familiar.
The reason she came to see the duel with this obvious ending was to leave a video of the duel.
I didn’t really want to record Sung Joo-hyuk’s private parts.
I wanted to take a picture of an engineering student who easily beat Sung Joo-hyeok and send it to his guild.
“Instructor, what are you doing?!”
Choi Da-hyun came up to Instructor Kim Si-young and shouted.
He replied that he was filming the duel scene as it is.
“You’re really too good, Instructor! Do you really want to laugh at Mr. Daeseung like that?!”
Instructor Kim Si-young, who quickly became a personality ruiner.
She felt embarrassed for a moment, but soon realized.
Now, Choi Da-hyun could not properly grasp the skills of Gong Dae-seung.
In other words, the western guild that Choi Da-hyun belongs to still doesn’t know his true value.
“Whatever you think, it’s good. But if you interrupt the shoot, then I won’t stay still.”
“Ugh…”
No matter how much she was the daughter of the Western Guild, she couldn’t stand up to the academy instructor, and even the active A-rank hunter.
If you like, you can refer it to the disciplinary committee.
From the moment she is referred to the disciplinary committee, she will rise to the article, once she gets to her degree, she is lethal to her image even if she consequently gets no disciplinary action.
It’s a duel that won’t last long anyway.
It will be over soon.
As expected by Instructor Kim Si-young, it took less than 30 seconds for Catherine to set Seong Joo-hyeok on fire.
It took longer to burn and die.
Sung Joo-hyeok and Gong Dae-seung, who came out of the virtual space, entered the virtual space again to fight again.
‘Sung Joo-hyeok is also good, but his opponent was really bad.’
Kong Dae-seung and Katrin persistently burned Joo-hyeok Seong to death.
The third already.
As the number of repetitions continued, Seong Joo-hyeok’s body became rather dull.
It was natural.
There is nothing more terrifying than the fear of dying of any animal.
There is no way anyone would be sane after going through such horror.
Seong Joo-hyeok, who died the fifth time and came out of the virtual space.
Gong Dae-seung asked with a triumphant expression.
“Would you like to do it one more time, sir?”
“Oh no, that’s it.”
“You want to do it one more time? Well sir.”
“Hey, wait!”
Katrin forcibly grabbed Seong Joo-hyeok’s wrist and made him press his palm into the machine.
Now, as if he had lost the will to fight, he couldn’t even lift his own weapon, a two-handed sword.
-Aaaaa!!
Seong Joo-hyeok’s scream rang out loudly from the speaker.
It was time to stop, but Gong Dae-seung harassed Seong Joo-hyeok a lot.
I won’t do it for no reason.
Instructor Siyoung Kim asked Yirin sneakily.
“… It seems like he said that Daeseung Kong raped Dahyun.”
I got it right away.
It was definitely a sensitive issue.
Seong Joo-hyeok is a person who will have a great influence not only on the academy but also on the hunter industry in the future.
If such a person says that his woman was raped by a man, the ripple effect…
He died in the seventh virtual space and began to apologize to Gong Dae-seung, saying, “I was wrong, so so!!”.
When he died the eighth time, he sat down and wept.
By the ninth he begged, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
Sung Joo-hyeok returned to reality after his tenth death.
When Gong Dae-seung took a step closer to him,
“Hey!!”
And was terrified.
Squeeze-.
The crotch of his pants started to get wet.
Soon, the smell of ammonia spread throughout the training ground.
Engineering University Seung covered his nose with his hand and said.
“Did I win?”
Seong Joo-hyeok nodded his head quickly.
“Then why don’t you flirt in front of Dahyun? Don’t even say nonsense about me raping Dahyun.”
He shook his head vigorously up and down.
Gong Dae-seung went to Choi Da-hyeon.
And he said with a grin.
“I won.”
“Mr. Daeseung!!”
Dahyun Choi hugged him tightly.
“It was so cool!”
“I’m glad.”
Warm atmosphere.
Lee Rin, who was next to Instructor Kim Si-young, also approached Dae-seung Engineering.
“I didn’t know it would be like this. That’s great, Gong Dae-seung.”
“So I told you to trust me.”
“Woo! People who believe that are weird, honestly!!”
Irin, her face weakly reddened, murmured softly.
Because she couldn’t make eye contact properly.
“I think Jo Oh Geum was cool.”
“Tell me what it is.”
“Oh, that was cool! It’s okay?!”
“Hey!” She said, puffing out her cheeks and crossing her arms.
Did Choi Da-hyun and Yi-rin’s duel look really cool?
Instructor Kim Si-young was a bit curious.
… Because she looked very cruel in her eyes.
