Krash!
Late at night, at the outdoor training ground of Han-yul Military Academy. A male student was sitting on a bench, completely absorbed in a mobile game.
Krash!
“Just a little more…! Just a little more…!”
There was not a single person around, so the sound of the game echoed loudly. It was almost at the level of noise pollution. However, the male student didn’t seem to care at all and continued gripping his phone.
[Game Over]
“Shit…! What a piece of trash game, fuck…!”
Clang!
Upon seeing the Game Over message, the male student threw his phone. Right onto the dirt ground.
“Tsk. If you keep throwing that expensive phone around like that, what will you do?”
Not long after, a female student appeared at the training ground. She soon picked up the phone lying on the ground and brushed off the dirt.
Even in the dark, her sparkling eye makeup, bold blush, and bright red tint stood out. She was Baek Joo-hee from the Combat Division.
“No matter how rich a third-generation heir may be, one should still know the value of money, don’t you agree, junior?”
Fortunately, the phone was completely undamaged. Baek Joo-hee handed it over to the male student.
“Anyway, congratulations on returning to school. It’s been about a year, right?”
“…”
However, despite Baek Joo-hee’s friendly greeting, the male student maintained a stiff expression. He stared at her intently.
“But, who are you to act so familiar with me?”
“Baek Joo-hee, Baek Joo-hee! We met just last week!”
“Oh, it’s Baek Joo-hee. Sorry.”
Only then did the male student take the phone from Baek Joo-hee. He blew on it while checking for any remaining dirt.
“So, how does it feel to be back at school?”
“Ah, it’s absolutely terrible. Just thinking about being locked in lecture rooms from tomorrow.”
“Ho ho, your temper hasn’t changed a bit.”
Though she acted composed, Baek Joo-hee was actually quite nervous. Her heart was pounding.
She was worried that if she accidentally made a slip of the tongue and angered him.
This opponent was nothing short of a fierce beast. Once he lost control, he would attack everyone around him recklessly. If he got a hold of you, you had to be prepared to sacrifice at least an arm.
Despite knowing he was that dangerous, Baek Joo-hee had approached him.
To achieve her own goals.
“Um, I have a favor to ask.”
“Favor?”
Baek Joo-hee had something that this male student did not. He was not called second place for no reason. His power was on par with even year’s top student, Arna.
At least, that’s how it seemed to Baek Joo-hee.
“Could you perhaps deal with someone for me?”
“Who, a person? Hahahaha…!”
Hearing Baek Joo-hee’s request, the male student burst into laughter.
“Hahaha…hahahaha…kekekekeke!”
“What, what? What’s so funny!”
How could it be this funny that he grabbed his stomach and laughed uncontrollably? After wiping away the tears streaming from his eyes, he spoke.
“Oi, do you think I’m some sort of hitman for hire?”
“But, last year you—”
“This year’s me is different. I’ve recently started going to church.”
“Church? What about that cross necklace?!”
When Baek Joo-hee pointed at his neck, the male student followed her finger and lowered his head.
“Ah, our household is Christian after all.”
Quickly, he tucked the protruding cross necklace back inside his clothing.
“How about this then? Just once! Come on? It won’t be that difficult opponent. He simply walks around carrying a spoon…Kyaah!”
Squeak!
It happened in an instant. The male student grabbed Baek Joo-hee’s collar firmly. Taken completely by surprise, she lost her words.
That voice tone was completely different from earlier. The male student stared her down with a chilling gaze.
“What did I just say? I said I don’t do that. So why are you nagging me so much? It’s annoying.”
“Uh, uh…I’m sorr-ry…”
“You keep pushing it because I was being nice earlier, huh?”
Puck puck.
He lightly tapped Baek Joo-hee’s cheek a few times. She couldn’t put up any resistance and shivered uncontrollably.
Just like a rabbit in front of a tiger.
“And, I don’t have time to deal with those kinds of people.”
The male student pushed her away sharply.
“Kyaah!”
Baek Joo-hee landed on her bottom. Then the male student got up from the bench and walked toward her.
“Hey, do you know why I came back to this school?”
Puck.
He bent his knees. With a completely expressionless face, he stared Baek Joo-hee straight in the eyes.
“What I came back here for is to reclaim the top position in this year that originally belonged to me. That’s all I came here for.”
Gulp!
Meanwhile, at the Han-yul Military Academy education hospital. As Choi Soo-eun pulled back the curtain of the hospital room, she asked me.
“And exactly what reckless thing did you do this time to injure your waist? It’s really getting old…”
Currently, I am sitting on the bed in a patient’s gown. In other words, I am hospitalized.
Frankly, I thought lifting one person would be easy. But when I actually did it, it was not so simple. Arna was an incredibly massive individual, far more so than I imagined.
She may have looked no different from any other girl on the surface, but where did all that weight come from? Could it be the breast muscles?
Fortunately, the doctor said there were no abnormalities in the bones. It seems I just strained my waist ligaments slightly.
After the examination, the doctor said I could return right away if I wanted to, but I decided to stay hospitalized to be safe.
After all, isn’t your waist as important as your hairstyle? You need to take care of your waist while you can.
“Anyway… I’ll leave the cold pack here for you.”
Choi Soo-eun placed a cold pack and a few towels on the shelf. It looked like a fairly high-quality medical cold pack.
“Do you need anything else?”
“Food. The food here is absolutely tasteless.”
The topic of meals – this is one thing I must definitely mention.
I noticed the last time I was hospitalized that the hospital food here is truly horribly tasteless.
While hospital food is generally not great, this place surpassed the acceptable limit. It was excessively healthy.
“I guess you can bear with it, right? After all, you’ll be discharged in a few days.”
“Would it be possible to get some delivery food?”
“Would it be possible…?”
Teeeeeng!
My thoughts turned to the combat rations from the last training exercise. At least, those had some stimulating taste.
Ah, is there a place to grab some food nearby? Convenience store food feels inappropriate at a time like this. I want a proper home-cooked meal.
“That’s right. Choi Soo-eun, you’re here.”
“Eh?”
“Couldn’t you just cook for me?”
Why hadn’t I thought of this before? Choi Soo-eun could cook for me.
Her cooking skills are without question incredible. They were that good. Furthermore, the food was easy on the stomach, which was an added benefit.
A meal like that could be eaten daily, even for a lifetime, without growing tired of it.
“I’m not some professional dietician of yours… Why should I do such a thing…?”
“Why, didn’t you do it well last time?”
“T-That time…!”
Was she recalling something embarrassing? Choi Soo-eun suddenly raised her voice, her face turning red.
But she quickly composed herself and whispered softly.
“That was just something I did by chance…”
“By chance? So there definitely won’t be a next time, then?”
“Next time? Why do you think there will be one?”
Teeeeenggg!
I was more shocked by this than when I injured my waist earlier.
I wouldn’t be able to eat that meal again? Was this goodbye to that delicious soy-sauce mushroom stir-fry? Did our first meeting end up being our last?
My God.
Tears streamed.
“Hey, wait a minute! Why are you crying? This is not a time to cry!”
Choi Soo-eun instinctively grabbed a towel and wiped my tears. It makes me feel like I’ve become some old man in a nursing home.
“Aah, alright! I’ll do it! Just stop crying!”
Eventually, Choi Soo-eun waved the white flag.
Indeed, tears were the winning strategy. Choi Soo-eun was no exception in front of them. How good these women have been using such a method, and now it’ll be my turn.
“Haa… Why is a grown man shedding tears…?”
“Men also shed tears at times. It signifies how deeply they’re affected.”
“Over what food, for heaven’s sake…”
Choi Soo-eun shook her head as if she couldn’t believe it. Anyhow, it seems like I’ve successfully secured my boxed lunches.
“Though I can’t cook every meal. I have classes and duties too.”
“I’m not asking for every meal. Just dinners would be enough.”
“Really… Why am I doing this…”
Choi Soo-eun placed her hand on her forehead, seemingly still unable to fully grasp the situation.
She shouldn’t have provided the bento in the first place. Because of that, my palate has become more discerning.
All of this is because of Choi Soo-eun herself. Therefore, she has the responsibility to take care of me. I can’t be satisfied with ordinary food anymore.
Lifetime sentence of bento submission.
Clack-clack.
“Anyway, I’ll go now. I have to visit other rooms too.”
“Alright, see you tomorrow.”
“Don’t forget to use the cold pack.”
After leaving final instructions, Choi Soo-eun left the room.
I wonder what will be tomorrow’s menu? No matter what, it will surely be better than the hospital food. I’m looking forward to it.
I happily imagined while lying flat on my back on the bed.
“Ugh!”
Shit. I carelessly lay down, causing my forgotten waist pain to flare up again. That monstrous mammary beast.
Thinking about it, it feels kind of unfair. I just tried to lift Arna, and I ended up injuring my waist. Meanwhile, Arna is completely fine.
I can’t just let this slide. I cannot let myself be the only one getting hurt. Let her suffer once too.
I quickly picked up my phone and accessed the school community.

Has anyone seen the latest [Company Name] sportswear pictorial?
<Content>
Somehow it seems a bit different from before, doesn’t it? ㅠㅠ?
The last pictorial was genuinely beautiful every time, but this one feels kind of…
It’s not a problem with the product, but it seems like the model is a bit disappointing. ㅜㅜ!!!
[Company Name]’s face seems a bit swollen, and… a little? A bit of a potbelly is visible… Her legs seem way thicker than before… She must not be maintaining herself well lately… What to do? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
I used to buy two or three items every time the [Company Name] pictorial came out because she was so beautiful, but I don’t plan on buying this time… I need to close my wallet…
What do you other Every Hunter members think? Am I the only one feeling this strange? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ?
───
“Phew.”
Nothing beats this for relieving stress. Here, I can tease Arna all I want without worrying about anyone’s opinion.
In fact, half of the hate comments that come up when you search Arna’s name are essentially written by me. I make at least five or more posts every day.
Hehe.
Ding~
Just then, the phone notification sound rang. Someone had commented on my post.
Ding~

“…”
This is definitely an anonymous board, so why can I see the name?
This is a skill too, I guess.
