Chapter 9 Revealing Abilities (3)
Rewind to when Yu-jin cleared the 10th stage of the entrance exam.
Lucky reporters who filmed the event immediately wrote articles.
They plastered titles like “Exclusive” and “Breaking News.”
About the birth of a new S-rank candidate.

Title: Breaking news, entering the gallery, LOL
(Internet news capture)
Journalist... I get you’re in a hurry, but what’s with the typos...
ᄂ These days, the level of cyber scavengers is pathetic;;
ᄂ Oh, but is the article real?
ᄂ Is it really? Probably just clickbait.
ᄂᄂ Really LOL If you click it, it’ll say “unfortunately failed.”
A hurriedly written article by a journalist on a smartphone, unable to contain their urgency.
A freshman cleared the 10th stage of the entrance exam!
Naturally, people didn’t believe it.
Journalists desperate for views—this was nothing new.
People just thought it was an overblown story, and the rare post was quietly buried.
...That was supposed to be the case.
Title: The video of the S-rank fuss is up.
(YouTube screen capture uploaded 37 seconds ago)
It’s the full, unedited video.
Who’s got time to watch all this?
ᄂ Isn’t everyone here a basement-dwelling Bill Gates? Why complain?
ᄂᄂ (Insert emoticon expressing confusion or frustration)
ᄂ LOL Great, I had nothing to watch while eating. Perfect timing.
A video urgently uploaded to an official YouTube channel of a broadcasting company.
Though it was raw and unedited, a few people eagerly watched it.
Awakeners are real-life heroes.
The entrance exam where they first showcased their skills was the ultimate spectacle.
It didn’t take long for reactions to heat up.
Title: Guys, check this out.
(Capture right after Seo Yu-jin cleared the 10th stage)
That thing from earlier is real???
ᄂ This isn’t a crappy meme.
ᄂᄂ If you thought it was, why click?
ᄂᄂ Eating dinner.
ᄂᄂ ?
ᄂ Oh, damn it.
ᄂ His face is wasted, really.
ᄂ I clicked because it was a guy, but why is it real?
Several people uploaded captures.
The spark quickly turned into a major fire.
Every online community’s opinions were boiling.
[Smiling and Laughing Today’s Pentagon Academy (+729)]
[Guys, potential S-rank Awakener appeared (+3811)]
[Members, look at this handsome young man (+12)]
[Reasons why Aika should retire now (+9999)]
An unusually intense reaction.
This was because the current top S-rank was Japanese.
It was clear that Korea had the highest average level of Awakeners in the world.
Yet, the strongest among them was Japanese.
This caused the two countries to become victims of a global divisive World Cup.
Korea is number one in the world?
Aika alone could wipe them out.
Japan’s pride, top S-rank Ninomiya Aika?@@@@
She was educated in Korea. Without Aika, Japan is nothing.
Isn’t Aika practically an honorary Korean?
Such comments were circulating not just online, but in reality.
In this situation, news that a Korean had achieved what only the top S-rank had done came out.
As Koreans, they couldn’t help but be interested.
The fire in the strongest Awakener nation quickly spread to other countries.
Japan, sensitive to these issues like Korea, of course.
Even to America, where it was dawn due to the time difference.
The whole world was turned upside down.

[Thread talking about Aika-chan]
They say a Korean boy Awakener broke Aika-chan’s record?
398
Isn’t it photoshopped? An idol?
Responses were similarly fiery to Korea’s.
But, with that face.
He doesn’t really need hypnosis.
He must have revealed it knowing that too.
For someone as handsome as Yu-jin, merely coming out about his abilities wouldn’t give him a negative image.
Instead, it had the opposite effect,
[R/awakener – Virgin VS Yu-jin]
Virgin: Fantasizes about awakening while masturbating
Uses hypnosis only to sleep with women
Hides his ability for life
Yu-jin: Brings a different woman home every day even before awakening
Uses hypnosis to unleash amazing sword techniques
Doesn’t hide his ability
The meme ‘Virgin vs Chad,’ which was used in the English-speaking world, was quickly translated and flooded the internet.
Thanks to the humor of the Western brothers, Yu-jin’s image also soared.
He himself didn’t know.
‘Since I revealed it, I really have to live sincerely from now on. For my wives, I’ll live a life without any deviations!’
With completely unnecessary resolve.
He was already a decent young man.

After revealing my abilities in the live broadcast.
My confident demeanor grew heavier as I returned to my seat.
It was because of Alice and Shia.
‘The atmosphere was so good, now they’ll all be horrified....’
If they just avoided me for being a shady guy who uses hypnosis, I’d be lucky.
You used hypnosis on us, didn’t you? You pervert!
I even prepared myself to get slapped.
With time, as I accumulated various achievements, my sincerity would clear up misunderstandings, but...
In other words, I needed time.
Until then, I would be avoided by them.
My heart, already sunlit after two weeks of torment, might ache a lot if they avoided me...
I couldn’t bring myself to move.
‘I hate this... All I need is you guys, if you hate me, how will I live....’
“Yu-jin!!”
“......Huh?”
Contrary to my thoughts, a very bright voice greeted me.
It was Alice.
“Hypnosis, that’s amazing! It’s such a refreshing ability!!”
“Oh, oh?”
‘What’s this? Why is she happy?’
Flushed cheeks. Clenched fists. She was even closer than before.
It didn’t look like the reaction of someone who had heard about my ability.
-Muttering.
“Hypnosis that can make monsters self-harm... This has endless potential.”
‘Shia doesn’t seem to care either.’
Yu Shia wasn’t avoiding me either, but rather contemplating how to use my ability for her clan.
...Why? Did I unconsciously use hypnosis?
“You don’t mind? About my ability.”
“Not at all? It’s rather fascinating! Use it on me too!”
“What are you talking about!?”
She even asked me to hypnotize her.
...Come to think of it, before I returned, everyone often asked me to use it.
I felt sorry and rarely used it.
Could it be that women also like hypnosis?
“Such preferences....”
“I know! You use it to treat depressed people, right? I haven’t been sleeping well lately!”
“Oh.”
That wasn’t it. I was trash.
‘So innocent, so innocent... Is this the freshness of early twenties?’
“...What makes you trust me? It’s a dangerous ability, so I’ll never use it on you.”
“Aw, don’t be like that~ Please?”
“No matter how much you ask, Alice, I can’t.”
“Hmph. If you hypnotize me....”
-Smile.
“I might forgive you for a little prank?”
“......!!!!?”
‘Could she be flirting with me... No, no. She probably means something silly. Yes. Hold on, hold on. I promised not to use hypnosis...!!!’
Thanks to my charming wives, today was really tough too.
* * *
The night of the day I came out about my hypnosis ability. The academy basement.
‘I didn’t expect to use hypnosis right away.’
“Look at this coin. Three, two, one....”
In front of a bound woman, Yu-jin’s first mission began.
