Chapter 70 – GOY 70

#70

“I ​don’t ​care ​about ​ranks, ​so ​you can just ​use ​this ​locker ​room. ​Now, take it off.”

“Ah, ​yes….”

Kim ​Joon hesitated for ​a moment before ​he ​began ​taking ​off ​his ​shirt again. As ​he ​did, ​a firm physique ​was revealed.

Of course, it ​wasn’t a ​perfect body ​sculpted like ​a piece ​of ​art ​like Joo Seung-hyuk’s, ​but that ​was simply because my ​standards were too high. ​Seeing Joo Seung-hyuk’s body ​every day ​had ​spoiled my eyes. Regardless, objectively speaking, ​it was a well-balanced ​and ​handsome ​build.

“You ​have ​a great body.”

“Ah, ​no, I ​don’t.”

Kim ​Joon waved his ​hand ​dismissively.

“Do you work out?”

“Yes! I’ve ​done it ​since ​I was young.”

“I ​see. ​You ​wanted ​to ​be a ​Combat ​Guide, right?”

“Yes. ​Though I don’t know if it’ll be ​possible.”

Kim Joon had ​a high average ​matching rate and fast ​mana recovery.

In ​the original story, ​he ​aspired to be ​a Combat Guide ​to make ​the ​most of ​his ​strengths.

Combat Guides ​were ​a type ​that ​directly ​participated [visit our site]in Read on Read BL NovelsGate ​Raids, ​providing [Read on Read BL Novels]Guiding ​to ​Espers ​intermittently ​by their side.

In truth, they weren’t a preferred type unless it was a special case.

No matter how outstanding a Guide was, their combat abilities were lower than those of a low-rank Esper, and if the raid was delayed because they had to look after the Guide, it was actually a disadvantage.

But Kim Joon was the main uke. Even nuisance-like behavior is accepted beautifully for him.

Even if Kim Joon’s actions—following along to raid a gate only to hold them back—felt annoying and like a hindrance, they simply couldn’t bring themselves to get angry.

Ultimately, Joo Seung-hyuk and the sub seme, Park Geon-woo, ended up fascinated by Kim Joon as he struggled to overcome his weaknesses.

In contrast, Lee Yeon-soo was depicted as an unpleasant human who acted out, relying solely on his innate talent.

Kim Joon and Lee Yeon-soo were characters standing at opposite poles in every aspect, and Lee Yeon-soo’s existence was merely a sacrificial lamb to make Kim Joon stand out.

“Hyung, don’t you work out?”

“I just do some basic weights.”

I had planned to train properly this year, but that went out the window once I got entangled with Joo Seung-hyuk.

Moreover, I was worried.

In the original work, Joo Seung-hyuk often praised Kim Joon’s firm physique. On the other hand, he said that Lee Yeon-soo was too thin, so the feeling during sex wasn’t great.

If I worked out and got a better body, I might accidentally hit Joo Seung-hyuk’s preference.

His obsession is already this severe; if my body even changes to suit his taste, there really would be no way to escape then.

‘Wait. Yes, that’s it!’

Instead of worrying about how to reject unauthorized copy[Read on Read BL Novels]Joo Seung-hyuk, I should do the opposite: I need to be the one dumped.

If I make Joo Seung-hyuk hate me and get dumped, I can escape all those crises—the marriage, the obsession, the confinement.

---

Come to think of it, the original plot wasn’t important at all.

There is no reason why Joo Seung-hyuk must love Kim Joon. There’s no need to force him together with the second villainous sub-uke. I just need to be abandoned.

Recalling the original work, Joo Seung-hyuk was quite cool. Whether it was a one-night stand or a partner, he completely forgot the people he discarded. As long as the other person didn’t cling to him annoyingly, he didn’t do them any harm.

I just need to become like that. If I can degrade myself into one of the many partners the Obsessive Madman just passes by, all these worries will disappear.

The method to be dumped by Joo Seung-hyuk was simple.

In the original, Joo Seung-hyuk despised Lee Yeon-soo. Because the human known as Lee Yeon-soo was a collection of every behavior he hated. Therefore, if I mimic the actions Lee Yeon-soo took in the original, Joo Seung-hyuk will soon grow tired of me.

I clenched my fists and made a resolution.

From today on, I will change to be like the original Lee Yeon-soo! That said, if I truly enter the path of a ‘villain’ like in the original, I might actually die, so I’ll be a moderately toned-down villain.

If you summarize such a thing in one word, it’s a ‘nuisance.’

Yes, from today on, I will be a ‘nuisance uke’!

---

Since we were together every day, I naturally came to know Joo Seung-hyuk’s schedule.

Today, he had training sessions back-to-back during the 3rd and 4th periods.

I intentionally headed toward the Esper East Wing to coincide with the end of the 3rd period training.

The Lee Yeon-soo of <The Swamp of the Guide> had a selfish and boastful personality. He wanted to brag about being Joo Seung-hyuk’s Guide, and he would frequently barge into the Esper East Wing to scream at Joo Seung-hyuk and pull various nuisance stunts.

He didn’t listen no matter how much Joo Seung-hyuk told him not to come.

I should go too. I’ll show Joo Seung-hyuk exactly what a nuisance is.

The problem was that I had been too subservient in the first place.

I had never once refused Joo Seung-hyuk’s requests. The strongest expression I used was that I was tired.

Because I didn’t know what would happen if I told an obsessive yandere that I didn’t want to.

However, this point actually worked against me, leading to the talk of marriage.

So, if I act like a nuisance today, Joo Seung-hyuk will lose interest.

With an arrogant expression just like the original Lee Yeon-soo, I walked toward the Esper East Wing.

Unlike the Guide classes, which were heavy on theory, almost all Esper classes were training-oriented. There was a separate training center for visit our siteEspers in the East Wing, and [visit our site]most of them were wearing black uniforms or training gear.

Because I had rushed to arrive on time, I was wearing my white uniform.

Consequently, being the only one in white amidst a sea of black, I stood out immensely.

“Esteemed Student Lee Yeon-soo!”

“Seon-woo sunbae, hello.”

As I walked while looking around the hallway, Moon Seon-woo called out to me. He was still wearing protective gear on his arm.

The aftereffects of the Red Rune Shock still remained.

“Sunbae, how is your body feeling?”

“I’m all better. I think stolen contentI’ll [stolen content][Read on Read BL Novels]be able to take this off after tomorrow’s check-up.”

He laughed lightly, shaking the protective gear.

“That’s a relief.”

“It’s all thanks to you.”

“Did I even do anything?”

“Don’t say that. You’re my lifesaver. I don’t know how to properly thank you, Yeon-soo.”

He kept feeling sorry, thinking that I had gone through something bad because of him. Even though the one at fault was Aaron, not Seon-woo sunbae.

“Please don’t think that. I just did what I had to do as a Guide.”

“If there’s anything you need, just say the word. I’ll do whatever you want.”

“No, really, I’m fine.”

If I accepted something like that, there was no telling what the obsessive yandere would do. Not just me, but Seon-woo sunbae would be in danger too.

“Alright. If it makes you uncomfortable, it can’t be helped. But let me know if you need anything later.”

“Yes, I will.”

“By the way, what brings Esteemed Student Lee Yeon-soo to the East Wing?”

“I just had some business… Was Seon-woo sunbae in training?”

He was wearing training clothes.

“Ah, not my training, I was in the middle of teaching the hubaes.”

Seon-woo sunbae pointed to the juniors standing behind him. It seemed that since he couldn’t participate in training due to his injured hand, he was supervising the juniors instead.

“These are the new Esper recruits. And you all know this person, right? This is S-Class Guide Lee Yeon-soo. Everyone, greet him.”

“Hello, Yeon-soo sunbae!”

As Seon-woo sunbae introduced me, the freshmen greeted me loudly.

“Ah, hello.”

“Um, excuse me, sunbae. Could I possibly shake your hand once?”

Among the tall Espers, one particularly tall junior blushed shyly.

The sight was so fresh and cute that a smile naturally escaped me.

“Of course.”

“Wow, thank you!”

As I reached out my hand, the junior bowed deeply and shook it.

“Wow, so this is the hand of an S-Class Guide! It’s an honor! I won’t wash my hand for the rest of my life, sunbae!”

“There’s no need for that.”

“No! It’s truly an honor.”

“Ah! Sunbae, me too!”

“Me too, just once!”

The other juniors joined in, asking for handshakes.

“Hey, that’s enough, stop it!”

Seon-woo sunbae stopped the overheating atmosphere and apologized to me.

“Sorry. These guys are so provincial.”

“It’s okay. Everyone is like that at first.”

“But just one handshake… Ack!”

The junior who had reached out his hand went tumbling to the floor.

It was Joo Seung-hyuk’s doing. Although the new Espers saw their peer suffer a rough [stolen content][unauthorized copy]fate, they were so intimidated by Joo Seung-hyuk’s Read on Read BL Novelschilling killing intent that they froze, unable to even think of protesting.

“Seung-hyuk-ah….”

Joo Seung-hyuk looked down at me with a cold face, then silently grabbed my hand and pulled me into an empty classroom.

“Why did you come here?”

His face was full of irritation.

He barges into the West Wing all the time, yet he seems annoyed that I’m invading his territory.

It was the same in the original. He loathed it when Lee Yeon-soo barged into the East Wing. He’s such a double-standard kind of guy.

“I came to see you.”

“If you have business, contact me. Why come here?”

“Where else would it be? It’s our school.”

“Contact me next time. I’ll come to you.”

He spat out the words coldly. That look was so scary.

Even if he’d softened up a bit lately, Joo Seung-hyuk was still Joo Seung-hyuk. Besides, he had even done a ‘mini-confinement.’

I felt afraid that I might have come for nothing, but I had the grave mission of being dumped by Joo Seung-hyuk.

“I-I-I don’t want to.”

For now, I tried to hold my ground. Since I’d already drawn the sword, I had to at least cut a radish; I couldn’t back down here.

“What did you say?”

“I just wanted to see you right now!”

The original Lee Yeon-soo would often scream and throw out lines like that. However, since reproducing that exactly might get me killed, I lowered the intensity and said it in a whining tone.

“…….”

“I’m practically your exclusive guide now. Can’t I even see you when I want to?”

“…Still, contact me. I’ll come.”

“If I had contacted you, I wouldn’t have come. You have your next lecture, don’t you?”

I spat it out in the most rude tone possible.

“You knew I had a lecture?”

“Yeah, I know. But there’s somewhere I want to go with you right now. Come with me.”

“Where?”

“I’m hungry. I need to eat.”

“You came because you’re hungry?”

“Yeah. I don’t want to eat alone.”

The original Lee Yeon-soo was a person who had no respect for Joo Seung-hyuk’s time or actions and was always selfish.

He tried to tighten his grip on Joo Seung-hyuk by utilizing the fact that Chairman Joo gave him special treatment as an S-Class Guide. Joo Seung-hyuk, in turn, was sick and tired of him trying to manipulate him at will.

Furthermore, Joo Seung-hyuk absolutely hated it when his routine was disrupted.

So, the next line was obvious.

[Did you annoy me for something as trivial as that?]

Joo Seung-hyuk will get irritated. Then I’ll just whine a little and slip away.

In the first place, I had no intention of actually skipping training to eat.

While I was smiling inwardly, his tightly closed lips opened.

“What do you want to eat?”
