Calibrating the NTR Drift in the Light Novel - MTL

When I came out of the warehouse and attracted attention, everyone's eyes, including Sooyeon Choi, turned towards me.

"What is that?"

"Are you different from the person you were with yesterday?"

The gangsters slightly loosened the siege surrounding Choi Su-yeon in front of the checkout counter and turned to me.

"Hey, we came here to buy cigarettes, but our part-time job doesn't sell cigarettes."

"Really? From what I heard, they said they would just check your ID and sell it right away, right?"

"Ah, these fucking bitches can't even communicate, it's so fucking bad."

"Are you just talking about me?"

"Then who the fuck is the 'guy' here besides you?"

They were people whose spirit I had to admit to because they could maintain that attitude even after looking at my height and size.

Most students get scared just by looking at my scary appearance and physique.

"Well, aren't you guys 'bastards'? Just by looking at them, you don't look like 'bitches'. Or are you just psychopaths who believe themselves to be homo-romantic, non-binary, asexual, androgynous? The mental hospital is two blocks down."

"What a fucking bastard-"

"Seo, senior! What's wrong with you!"

The gangsters who had turned their heads all at once flocked towards me, and the situation reached a tipping point.

Sooyeon Choi, who thought I was doing something reckless, was shocked and tried to stop me, but the situation had already crossed many rivers.

When the gangsters heard Choi Su-yeon call me by the name, they openly laughed at me.

"Senior? H-what is it? So this guy is trying to make a show of himself in front of a girl he already knows?"

"I guess you still don't know that if you joke without knowing the topic, you'll be really screwed."

"Hmm, that's a harsh word. Just by looking at you, you look like Mija, but I'm a 20-year-old third-year student like the sky. Would you mind speaking a little more politely?"

"Fuhahaha!"

The gangsters burst into laughter at my words.

Among them, the raven-haired guy who seemed to be the leader laughed at me, tears streaming down his face.

"20 years old? No, fuck, then you weren't a college student, but an education academy student? Hey, did you say you were a third year student? I guess you thought we would treat you well if we knew that, but aren't you Kang Baek-san from Eunbong High School?"

"Gangbaeksan? Then, you know. It's Eunbongtong."

"Hey, they are the direct juniors that our brother Kang Baek-san cares about, right? If you don't want to get screwed, I think you should take back what you just said and kneel down and beg like a dog, right?"

"Aha, I was wondering why they were so brave, and it turned out they were Eunbong High School students. But since they didn't even know me, I guess they were first-year freshmen?"

"What are you talking about, you bastard?"

The first-year students at Eunbong High School, who did not know English, became irritated and gradually narrowed the distance with the intention of striking each other.

"Guys, I started working here yesterday and I don't want to make a fuss in the store. Why don't we go out and settle it through conversation slowly? For your sake as well."

"Ah, fuck. This guy is holding a hookah in front of a real woman. It's disgusting."

Whoa!

And the leader of the group of gangsters, Black Hair, punched me.

However, because the fist hit my cheek instead of my chin, I only took a step back, but I was still standing in my seat.

Instead, I felt a fishy taste in my mouth.

As a result of being punched in the face, the cheek flesh was chewed and burst open, causing bleeding.

When I put my hand to my mouth, the blood that came out of my mouth was still on my hand.

"Aaaaah! Senior! Rain, emergency bell-"

"Choi Su-yeon, don't do anything and just stay still."

I stopped Choi Su-yeon, who was about to press the wireless emergency bell, and looked down at the Eunbong School guys.

The guys were giggling among themselves and looking at me, as if they hadn't figured out the situation yet.

"Oh, you didn't faint after getting hit by that? You must be confident in your tenacity?"

"I thought I could do anything if I grew taller, but now I'm starting to regret it, aren't I?"

"Choi Su-yeon, did you clearly see it just now? Did you clearly see these guys first using violence against me while I was trying to resolve the issue through conversation? It must have been captured on CCTV, right?"

"Yes? Oh, yes…"

"Then that's it."

I adjusted my posture by tilting my head to both sides.

"Guys, I told you earlier that you don't know that you'll be screwed if you make fun of me without knowing the topic, right?"

"?"

"But I think you need to know who you really don't know."

________

After a short period of time.

Outside the convenience store, there was a scene that seemed quite strange to others.

Six boys were maintaining their posture with their heads pressed into the ground with their hands behind their backs, and in front of them was a large man squatting with a candy stick in his mouth.

Anyone could see that it was a sight that could only be seen in the military in the past, not a sight seen in society.

"Ugh…"

The gangsters kept moaning and staggering around as if the tops of their heads that were stuck on the ground were in pain, and each time I took out a piece of candy in my mouth instead of a cigarette and asked.

"Guys, are you in pain? You keep twitching?"

"Oh, no."

The guys who had been beaten to pieces barely answered while trembling in fear.

Among the six, none had bruises on their eyes or lips, and three had missing front teeth.

There were people who were hit so hard in the abdomen that they were still having trouble breathing, and those whose jaws had been rotated had barely come to their senses and were unable to maintain their balance properly.

"How do you think this brother feels about having to end up like this after getting beaten up by you guys so young?"

"S-sorry…"

"I was wrong, please forgive me this once…"

"Whether they know it or not, if they get caught selling cigarettes to Mija, the person who sold them will have to take full responsibility for it. Do you think this brother or that sister in there will have to be called to the police station and have to pay a fine because of you?"

"Oh, no."

"And you, black hair."

"Yes, yes!"

The guy who seemed to be the leader of the first-year group at Eunbong High School answered with enthusiasm in his voice.

"You guys are not 14 anymore, so you don't get the benefits of being a juvenile. There are witnesses who saw you beat me first, and it was all captured on CCTV. If you submit this to the police, you will all be sent to juvenile detention. Of course, there is evidence that I was beaten first, so it's self-defense."

When I gave a somewhat exaggerated scare, the guys, who had no idea what was going on, trembled even more in fear, with their heads still stuck.

"Well, I was wrong! Please just take a look!"

"Really? Did you really do something wrong? Do you want me to forgive you?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Everyone wakes up."

The six guys suddenly got up at the same time.

I sat cross-legged at the table outside the convenience store and held out my cell phone in front of me, like a boss disciplining an employee.

"Here, write down your names, grades, classes, and phone numbers on your cell phone. After I receive it, I'll call and check, so I'll search for those who lie on the spot, okay? Come forward one by one. Starting with your hair up."

One by one, they came forward without even making a sound and with trembling hands, they wrote down everything, including their numbers, in my phone book.

"Well, there are no lying guys. I also like honest guys."

"…"

"Now, I have a few things to ask you. First, from now on, tell not only you but also all your friends who aren't here. Don't even think about coming to this convenience store to smoke.

From now on, the moment I see Eunbong High School bastards, regardless of grade, coming here and trying to smoke a cigarette, you will be the first to fall into my hands. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes!"

"And what did you do with Mt. Gangbaek earlier?"

When I pointed at my head while holding my phone, he turned his face pale and bent his back to 90 degrees.

"Well, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

"If you want to tell Kang Baek-san, tell him. If your juniors come to this convenience store and try to smoke cigarettes, your friend who goes to Jinsugyo will come and visit you. Just say this, and he will understand."

"Uh, uh…"

"Now, secondly, is there anyone who can blame you for being wrong?"

"I was wrong, brother! I was really wrong!"

The six guys must have taken it as a sign that they were begging me, so they bent down and begged with their hands and feet.

I immediately stopped their apology.

"Stop. I'll pretend that you've paid for the wrong I did by getting beaten so hard."

"…?"

"You bastards, you don't understand what I'm saying. I was so nervous because you were swearing at my sister in there and crowding around her. Furthermore, I wasn't shaking."

"I was shaking…"

"Should I ask for forgiveness from my sister inside too? Everyone follows me."

I lined up the guys behind me and went into the convenience store.

Choi Su-yeon, who watched me take out the guys one by one with one punch, just looked at me with a bewildered expression.

"Seo, senior…?"

"They have something to say to you. Now, guys. Should you be sincere and tell your sister that you did something wrong?"

"Well, I was wrong, sister… I won't do it again."

"I told you to be sincere."

When I lowered my voice slightly, they got scared and immediately fell to their knees and hit me on the forehead.

"I was wrong! I was so wrong! Please forgive me this once, I won't do it again!"

"Huh? Uh, uh…"

"Okay, if you're going to ask for forgiveness for what you did wrong, you should do that. Everyone, wake up."

They woke up at the same time again.

And I put my arm around the raven-haired guy's shoulder and pulled him towards me, and the guy who had been beaten to a pulp was dragged in, shaking in fear and unable to resist.

"Now, guys. I started work yesterday, so I'm quite busy, but honestly, going back and forth about submitting this evidence to the police station and making things worse is a hassle, right? So, I'm going to make a suggestion."

"Yes, yes… Ma, Ma, just say the word."

"Well, you have a good attitude. What I'm suggesting is that nothing happened here at the convenience store today. You've never been here, and we've never seen you. The reason you're like that is because you fought among yourselves." Br〉

It doesn't matter what the reason is. Whether it's a fight over rank, a girl, or a gang fight with another academy, it's okay. What it means is, 'You guys have never been hit by me.' Oh, you can tell Kang Baek-san. Anda Stan?"

"Yes…"

I put a little more strength on the arm that was holding the black-haired man's shoulder.

The scared guy was almost on the verge of crying and even his teeth chattered. With a few front teeth missing.

"Guys, I'm giving you a chance now. How should I respond in a situation like this?"

"Thank you, thank you…"

The six guys answered in hushed voices while looking at the ground, and it was only then that I loosened my arms around my shoulders.

"You're welcome. Now then, let's go in. Keep in mind what I said earlier."

"Yes…"

"Then have a nice day."

"Oh, hello…"

Immediately instilled with courtesy, the guys ran away without even looking back.
