I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

“Status window.”

I called out to Alice and the other party members, and then I opened the status window.

[·····. ]

The status window didn’t appear, and instead, a series of dots flashed on the screen.

“Is it a bug?”

It happened before with the “Ring of Affection and Obsession” too.
Of course, it was just a minor bug that displayed the chairman’s name for a brief moment.

The cause of the bug on my status window.

“Maybe it’s because of the Demon Tree.”

We defeated the Demon Tree much earlier than expected in the original game.
Although the Sword Emperor and my master helped with the strategy, I couldn’t say that I didn’t contribute to the victory.

“Hmm, this is a bit of a problem.”

Of course, the bug on the status window didn’t suddenly make me weaker or anything.
But since I had been planning our training schedule based on our objective abilities and skills, this bug was a bit of a nuisance.

“Well, there’s nothing I can do about it right now.”

I’ll just have to wait and hope it gets fixed on its own.

I let out a deep sigh and closed the status window.

What I wanted to do now was evaluate the growth of our party members.

And Alice’s abilities.

After fighting the Demon Tree, I felt that our party members’ abilities were much higher than I expected.

But Alice, on the other hand…

As a new character, it was essential to find out what abilities she had and what kind of combat style she could use.

“Hmm, I wanted to do this from the start, but it took me a week.”

The past week.

I had to spend time with each of the Utopia members in turn.

I spent the whole day with Ichika, and the other members asked for the same, so it naturally ended up like this.
It was also a way to manage the stress of the Utopia members after their intense training.

In fact, Yoo-ri and Kang Do-hee also trained with me in the Demon Tree’s forest, but it was only at the beginning and end.
I was alone in the pit.

“Ah, Master also had a hard time, so I should give her a call and say hello.”

I tapped on my phone and found my master’s number, then made a video call.

Ding dong.

The first ring hadn’t even ended when my master answered.

And then, my master’s face appeared on the hologram screen.
Master was wearing a white hat and standing in front of the ice palace.

······.

Master answered the phone right away, but looked away, seemingly embarrassed.
I guess I need to make more of an effort.

“Master.”

-Yeah, what’s up?

“Did you miss me?”

-····No, that’s not it.

“Then you should look me in the eye and face me. I missed you so much.”

Master glanced at me and then looked away, and I chuckled.

“I think it’s cute when you’re like this.”

I guess it’s because I never see you like this usually.

“Remember, you have to come here every week for our lessons.”

-Uh-huh, I know.

Master rolled her eyes and answered.

Then, she suddenly looked at me intensely.

“What’s going on?”

-What’s that?

Master narrowed her eyes and asked.

“What’s going on with all those injuries on your body? Did you get hurt in a dungeon? You’ve got a lot of wounds.”

Ah, I understand.

I smiled awkwardly.

“I didn’t think to hide it.”

There were a lot of bite marks on my neck and shoulders.

“It’s not that, Master. It’s just that the ‘one-bite challenge’ is trending among the party members right now.”

-One-bite challenge? What’s that?

The one-bite challenge.

It started with Ichika’s Incubus curse, which could be lifted through a kiss.
Since the curse had been neglected for almost a month, Ichika lost control, and she bit me in front of everyone.

Of course, it was a minor incident that was resolved quickly after I let her bite me for a day.

But the next day, Shin-hee came to me with a serious expression and asked.

“Jin Yuha, is that because of…Ichika?”

‘Did Shin Se-hee not know?’

I thought it was obvious that she would understand about Ichika’s curse.
But since she seemed to not know, I explained it to her in a way that would avoid any misunderstandings.

Then, Shin Se-hee listened to my explanation and nodded, but said there was a problem.

“Problem?”
“Yes, normally when a party member bites someone, it’s a symptom of a Demon transformation. Of course, we know it’s not the case, but others might think so. And since we have people from the Academy who know us…”

“…so what do we do?”

I didn’t want Ichika to be misunderstood as a Demon, so I asked Shin Se-hee for a solution.

Then, she came up with a ridiculous solution.

“Why don’t we all just do it? If only Ichika does it, it’s a problem, but if we all do it, it’s just a light-hearted joke. We can just say that Jin Yuha lost a bet.”

So, in the end, all of my party members would bite me.

It was an effort to cover up Ichika’s mistake, so I didn’t really mind.

Ang!

So, every day, my body would have more and more bite marks from my party members.

Shin Se-hee and the others would post about it on their personal SNS, and it became a topic of conversation.

I didn’t need to lie to my master, so I explained everything to her.

And when my master heard the story…

she clicked her tongue.

-That damn woman… Ha, she’s using a shallow trick… Does she think she can just mark you as her own?

“Huh?”

My master muttered something, but I couldn’t quite hear it.

-Hmm… Ah, never mind.

While saying that, she glanced at my injuries…

‘Does she want to do it too?’

“Master, do you want to bite me too?”

I said with a playful tone.

-What, what is this!?

“It’s just a joke, but everyone likes it. People’s reactions are good too. Master, you can bite me too. The kids all said it’s delicious.”

-My student, bite? Ah, delicious? That’s not something a man should say! Jin Yuha!

My master shouted with a face that was more flustered than before.
But it was still better than when she couldn’t even look at me before.

I smiled even more and said…

“So, is it okay? Master, you can bite me as many times as you want.”

-…

He showed a bit of his neck, and her face turned bright red.

“You want to see.”

I didn’t ask about the Moonlight Sword technique or the Demon Slayer Squad’s activities or the Ice attribute sword.
I didn’t need to ask, because Master would be doing it herself, pushing herself to the limit.

“Take care of your health, and don’t get hurt. Ah, is the Sword Emperor there too?”

Then, my master clicked her tongue again.

“…that woman is.”

Just then…

suddenly!

-Ah, our student! Did you want to talk to me?

-Who are you calling your student? Sword Emperor!

The Sword Emperor appeared from the side and stuck her face in.
I looked at her and was shocked.

She had a bandaged chest, a thin aloha shirt, and sunglasses on her forehead.

The background was a pure white winter scene, but the Demon Tree looked like she was in a different season altogether.

“…are you not cold?”

-This place is like heaven! Everything is prepared, and there’s even a hot spring! Why didn’t you introduce me to this place earlier? I’ve been stuck in the mountains, acting all high and mighty, but now I can finally relax! Hehehe, I feel like I’ve wasted 80% of my life.

-Get rid of those tacky clothes, Sword Emperor.

-Why Are you talking to me like that, your Master?

-I’ve never called someone like you master before.

‘This person is really something else.’

Anyway, I didn’t want to talk with the Sword Emperor for no reason.

It was about Alice.

I wanted to ask her about Alice.
Since I didn’t know anything about her, the Sword Emperor would be the one who knows the most about her.

At least, I thought it would be good to have some information about her.

“Sword Emperor, do you know anything about Alice?”

-Hmm? Malsook? Are you interested in her? Well, if it’s you, I suppose it’s okay. She likes men with a certain taste…

“I’m thinking of making her a party member, so I thought it would be good to know more about her.”

I cut off the Sword Emperor’s nonsense and asked.

Then, she looked uninterested and opened her mouth.

-Well, I suppose I can say this… She’s quite a weirdo.

What does it mean that she is a weirdo?

‘Isn’t she just a normal person?’

-Well, Malsook is…

And then, she started explaining, and I was shocked.
