Winterer, who ambushed me, now decided to outright fight.

 

A fist full of murderous intent rushed at me.

 

At the attack of a first-rate villain, I…

 

“Dieeeeee!!”

 

“……?”

 

‘What’s with this guy?’

 

I didn’t even blink.

 

Winterer’s innate ability. Cryokinesis.

 

A magic-based power that freezes everything.

 

Just thinking about it was terrifying, but,

 

‘Since his ability is sealed, I thought he would run. Instead, he’s coming at me.’

 

The hypnosis I cast was still effective.

 

Winterer needed another hour before he could use his power.

 

In other words, that punch was purely a physical attack.

 

Even if it hit me, my whole body wouldn’t freeze. It would just hurt a lot.

 

‘A physical charge from a magic-type awakener. Certainly unexpected….’

 

It was quite a decent move.

 

A first-rate villain tends to have balanced growth in all stats.

 

Even though he looked like that, he was stronger than me, who was in the lower ranks of C-class.

 

It was wiser to knock me out and take me hostage rather than run away.

 

The problem was,

 

“Your lower body….”

 

“…….”

 

‘Wow, this is the first time I’ve seen someone throw a telegraphed punch in a real fight. Even newbies don’t do this.’

 

Winterer was seriously clumsy.

 

No matter how strong he was, it was meaningless if the person swinging the fist had poor skills.

 

Just looking at the fist coming at me now, it was clear.

 

Too large and obvious movements.

 

The other hand placed on his waist with no concern for guarding his face.

 

His balance completely thrown off by the overly large movements. And so on.

 

Ah. If I recorded this, it would be perfect material for training newbies.

 

‘If you die like this in a Gate, it’s considered suicide, and the Association won’t give compensation~’ might be useful to say.

 

It was such a ridiculous attack that I thought like this.

 

‘He’s really optimized for discipline. This guy.’

 

Maybe this was part of his character setting too.

 

A sharp voice. Arrogant tone. Defiant gaze. Violent attitude.

 

Contrasted with a frail body and poor combat skills.

 

Wasn’t he a stereotypical character who gets disciplined for acting out?

 

Maybe the developer designed him with these traits on purpose.

 

‘I don’t have that kind of preference, but… this is perfect timing. I should educate him a bit.’

 

-grab.

 

It was time to end the observation with accelerated thought through hypnosis.

 

I dodged lightly, then lifted him and slammed him into the ground.

 

It was a throw personally taught by my master.

 

-BOOM!!!

 

“Ugh… How, how did you do that? My stats are the same…!”

 

“Wow.”

 

‘Even his lines are perfect.’

 

And then, his reaction, which provoked even a non-existent sadism.

 

I got a bit excited and immediately pinned him down.

 

Knee fixed between his thighs. Hands firmly grasping his wrists.

 

In a position that seemed ready to play the ‘Breeding Uncle’ role any moment.

 

“Winterer. Have you heard of proper discipline?”

 

“Eek!? Let go, you horny bastard!! Die! Die!!”

 

“…….”

 

‘Wow. This place is a treasure trove of reactions.’

 

I was trying to scare him a bit, but not to this extent.

 

Is this the majesty of a beginning game villain?

 

I couldn’t help but be amazed.

 

“Heh heh. Then….”

 

[Disciple. What are you doing right now?]

 

[Ah, Master.]

 

Of course, from an objective standpoint, it was a bit of an obscene situation.

 

A telepathic message came flying from my master.

 

I replied calmly.

 

[I’m trying to scare him a bit. That way the hypnosis will take better.]

 

[Do you have to do it in such a position? It looks like you’re doing something indecent.]

 

[This is perfect for scaring him. He has to meet my eyes directly.]

 

[I’m worried that you might get accused of sexually harassing a villain in the future.]

 

[It’s okay. I won’t even touch him with a finger.]

 

[Still….]

 

[Trust me, Master. I’m an expert in hypnosis.]

 

It was genuine education, despite appearances.

 

Trust the highest authority in this field, Seo Yu-jin.

 

I’ll show you the world’s first villain reformation.

 

Only then did my master understand.

 

[Absolutely, absolutely do not do anything inappropriate. If you secretly touch him, I’ll be angry.]

 

[Oh, come on~ I prefer older women like you, Master? These small ones aren’t my type.]

 

[…Ahem, ahem. If that’s the case, then. Go ahead and do as you wish.]

 

He even cheered me on to do it properly.

 

With permission granted, I decided to go all out.

 

-struggling.

 

“Die, die! You bastard worse than a villain!!”

 

“Your words are harsh~.”

 

‘Now. What kind of hypnosis should I use?’
While pinning Winterer down, I leisurely pondered.

 

What should I do to instill righteousness in this villain? So thoroughly that he would never dare to order Haru around again.

 

‘Hmm. Since he seems to care about Haru, maybe I should make him aware of that first?’

 

“Because Haru is watching, you should use polite and nice words, right?”

 

“……!!?”

 

First, I provoked him.

 

At the mention of Haru watching, Winterer’s head whipped around. His face turned beet red.

 

“You bastard!! I’ll kill you, kill you!!”

 

“What if Haru hears you and imitates it? From now on, let’s tone it down and say, um, ‘Joraengi-tteok’. How about that?”

 

Taking advantage of his confusion, I lightly corrected his way of speaking.

 

It might not seem like much, but it was a very important point in hypnosis.

 

People who frequently use negative and aggressive words tend to become vicious. On the other hand, if you start saying, ‘You Joraengi-tteok-like guy!’ when you’re angry, doesn’t it make both the speaker and the listener feel a bit softer?

 

Accumulating such hypnosis would certainly reduce Winterer’s aggression and hostility significantly.

 

*Ding!*

 

[The subject is under ‘ordinary’ hypnosis!]

 

“You Joraengi-tteok looking guy!!”

 

“Well done~.”

 

The actual effect was perfect.

 

For the first time, the guy who had been cursing at me used the word ‘guy’ instead of something harsher. The hostility seemed to diminish slightly, and his eyes lost some of their sharpness.

 

‘Now, the second…’

 

Thanks to that, I was smiling and thinking about my next move. How could I ensure he wouldn’t boss Haru around in the future?

 

However,

 

“You Joraengi-tteok…!!!”

 

*Squeak.*

 

Suddenly, I heard a faint sound.

 

Wondering what it was, I looked down and met his eyes head-on. Winterer’s eyes were shining with determination.

 

And,

 

*Squeeze. Struggle.*

 

“Die, dieeee!!!”

 

“……?”

 

Suddenly, I felt a sense of pressure.

 

Wondering what it was, I looked down even further.

 

Winterer was squeezing my waist with his thighs.

 

“I’ll split you like a Joraengi-tteok….”

 

*Ding!*

 

[The effect of the trait ‘Indomitable’ reduces damage by 90%. The abnormal status ‘Internal Bleeding’ is ignored.]

 

‘What is this guy doing?’

 

Since his hands were restrained, was he attacking with his relatively free legs?

 

It was a futile struggle. No matter how much of a first-rate villain he was, did he think he could split my waist like this? Wake up from that dream.

 

I couldn’t help but laugh at such thoughts.

 

“Pfft.”

 

“You, you bastard!!!”

 

*Thud! Thud!*

 

Did he realize that just using his thighs wouldn’t be effective? Winterer started hitting my back with his heels. It still didn’t cause much damage.

 

‘Even if he used all his leg strength to kick, it might hurt a bit. But struggling like this while being restrained…’

 

*Squeeze.*

 

“I’ll break your spine!!”

 

“……!!!!?”

 

…Forget about no damage.

 

No. Kicking was fine.

 

But pressing down with the intent to break it…

 

That’s close. His butt is touching.

 

[…Disciple?]

 

“Eek!!”

 

It seemed even to my master, it looked inappropriate.

 

I got chills.

 

‘An all-out physical attack in front of my wife. This is truly an inhumane attack…!!’

 

A high-level political attack that forcibly brings one’s body close to take away their social life.

 

If I had to name it, it was a reverse breeding press.

 

A violation of the Geneva Convention-level attack left me feeling dazed.

 

[You promised not to touch him with a finger.]

 

[Th-this is him.]

 

[Remove it immediately. Before I step in and cut him down.]

 

‘Master is really merciless!!’

 

Moreover, my master was watching.

 

Out of the three wives, the one who was the strictest in these matters.

 

To save myself, I tried to use hypnosis.

 

[Just a moment!!]

 

“You cheeky brat! Get this off me right now!!”

 

[Activating skill ‘Perfect Hypnosis’. Failed.]

 

*Squeeze.*

 

“Hurry up and die, you Joraengi-tteok-like guy!!!”

 

I tried to use hypnosis to stop him from doing anything improper, but it didn’t work.

 

Feeling that his attack was effective, he tightened his grip even more.

 

How it would look for him to wrap his thighs around my waist and press down with both feet on my waist was obvious.

 

There was no need to even think about it.

 

[Why aren’t you removing it right now? Are you enjoying it? Is it because she’s a woman and young? Are you enjoying it because she’s a young woman? So, you are a man after all?]

 

“Eeeeek!!!”

 

Just hearing the coldness in my master’s voice was enough to understand.

 

This was a crisis where my social life could end.

 

It was a critical moment where my life could be ruined.

 

‘There’s no choice. Preemptive strike! Call the master!!’

 

The only solution was one.

 

Requesting help faster than anyone, explaining that this was not intentional.

 

I tried to send a telepathic message quickly…

 

[Sorry, but could you help…]

 

*Bang!!*

 

“Dieeeeeeeeeet!!!!”

 

—In the moment my head turned slightly.

 

Winterer sprang up, bouncing off her waist and raising her upper body.

 

Judging by the gaze I felt, her fangs were aiming for…

 

My neck. To be precise, the carotid artery.

 

The critical blow created by Winterer’s bold attack and my brief distraction.

 

For a moment, the world slowed down.

 

“……!!?”

 

*Flash.*

 

Winterer’s murderous gaze.

 

The shocked expressions of those waiting in the distance.

 

Finally, the presence of my master rushing over.

 

Everyone else was in slow motion, but my master alone seemed to be in fast forward, showing her exceptional skill…

 

But because Winterer and I were so close,

 

Even my master was just a bit too late.

 

Winterer reached me first.
