[Ding! You have finished the "Get rid of your Virginity." quest]
[Re-evaluating the quest's reward because the host exceeded the objective...]
[Rewarding 3x Skill Upgrade Token(B) and 2x Random Item]
Baek Ain opened his eyes exhaustedly and saw a broken red light on the sticky ceiling. He frowned and felt two soft sensations on each side of his body.
Two beautiful naked ladies hugged him tightly like a koala, purring happily in their dream.
[Congratulations, host]
[You're no longer a Virgin] Alicia commented monotonously.
'I heard a slight mockery in your voice, Cia...' Baek Ain sighed while lying back on the floor.
[It's just your feeling]
[Anyway, do you want to check your quest's rewards? You also haven't opened the random skill reward of finishing the tutorial]
'Roll them for me.' Baek Ain nodded in expectation. He wished a valuable skill would appear to fit into his fighting style.
[Opening 2x Random Item and 1x Random Skill]
[Ding! You have obtained the "White Light Chakra Sabre(Replica)." and "Broken Hourglass."]
[Ding! You have received Active Skill: Revolver(F)]
[Name: White Light Chakra Blade(Replica)]
[Type: Weapon]
[Grade: A+]
[Description: A replica of White Fang's Blade. This tanto was "half-assedly." created by an anonymous blacksmith using a rare material that allowed the wielder to infuse their energy and construct a sharp energy blade]
[Name: Broken Hourglass]
[Type: Relic]
[Grade: S]
[Description: A mysterious hourglass-shaped replica with broken glass. It was "magically." made by a mystical alien race and can rewind time by 5 seconds, covering an area within 30 meters square]
[Ding! The Broken Hourglass only has two usages left before it breaks]
[Name: Revolver]
[Type: Active Skill]
[Grade: F]
[Description: The wielder of Revolver is allowed to save one skill to get used later]
"Hmm, nice stuff." Baek Ain mumbled while thinking about the usage of Broken Hourglass. After all, It could be a life-saving item if he used it in a tight situation.
He also liked the White Light Chakra Sabre(Replica), a decent low Dou Spirit's Weapon based on this world's standard. The Sharp Tiger's Blade is becoming less durable when facing Dou Grandmaster, so this is a fine addition to his equipment.
Not to mention "Revolver." skill will be his trump card if the description is correct. He could store "Golden Crow's Possession." secret skill and use it later, like a bullet in Revolver's chamber.
When Baek Ain upgraded this skill, he probably could store more skills.
Well, He'd do it now.
'Upgrade "Hover." and "Revolver." with the upgrade token, Alicia.'
[Sure, host]
[Ding! You have upgraded two skills]
[Hover(E) >>> Hover(B)]
[Revolver(F) >>> Revolver(B)]
Baek Ain checked the description of the two skills and grinned because Hover now allowed him to stay in the air for 15 seconds. Meanwhile, Revolver permitted him to save up to 5 skills.
However, Baek Ain hasn't finished his skill upgrade.
[Synthesizing Hyper Jump(B+) and Hover(B)]
[You have fused two skills into Super Jump(A+)]
[Name: Super Jump]
[Type: Active]
[Grade: A+]
[Description: The wielder of this skill could jump on anything, whether air or a fragile thing like a leaf and leap up to 2 kilometers. Super Jump also stores kinetic energy produced by the wielder and releases it through the wielder's legs]
"Nice. I'll test Super Jump later..." Baek Ain yawned and fell asleep.
...
...
The following day.
Baek Ain, Yafei, and Lan Rou returned to Wu Tan City. Some people from the Miteer Auction House noticed a change between these three and questioned something in their minds.
"Hey, don't you think Ain would be a good couple with Lady Yafei?"
"I mean, just look at that face and body. Ain is also talented for a kid of his age."
"No, no. You don't know a thing. Baek Ain is close with Instructor Lan. I think they would make a better couple."
"I mean... Since when did his hair become white like that? One week ago, Ain was not like this."
Several spicy rumors spread in the Miteer Family Branch's Compound, and Yafei couldn't help but blush in her office because these people weren't too far-fetched from the truth.
Even Lan Rou sometimes would daydream when hearing these fantasies as they reminded her of a good time.
Unfortunately, they don't know Baek Ain has eaten both ladies simultaneously.
In the training ground, Baek Ain faced Lan Rou fiercely.
He wielded the replica of Sakumo's tanto and swung it against Lan Rou's Dou Qi Armor.
Clank!
Her weaponized boots clashed with the tanto, creating a bunch of sparks in the area.
Baek Ain frowned inside because the difference between his and Lan Rou's strengths weren't that big, but she could deflect his attack smoothly with barely adding force behind her kick.
Lan Rou landed on the ground and quickly utilized Silent Shadow Steps, multiplying herself in three.
'Afterimages...' Baek Ain used Sixth Sense and was dumbfounded when finding no difference between the three afterimages. His Lightning Impulse activated automatically, allowing him to dodge Lan Rou's powerful kick.
SWOOSH!
Lan Rou's kick missed, but two followed after it immediately.
Baek Ain activated Dou Qi Armor, a hardened Dou Qi unique for anyone who reached Dou Grandmaster realm. It's a pair of boots for Lan Rou while he manifested a sturdy-looking pauldron. His shoulders and upper chest are "completely." protected by reddish armor extending to his arm like a gauntlet.
Lifting his right hand, Baek Ain caught the second attack.
As for the third attack, he let his pauldron clash with it.
BAM! CLANK!
"Hmm?" Lan Rou was "actually." amused by Baek Ain's Dou Qi Armor.
Dou Qi Armor varies from person to person, but Baek Ain's Dou Qi Armor is somewhat unique in her eyes. She manifested boots because they are perfect for her speed-based techniques, but Baek Ain's pauldrons are ideal because he lacks upper body protection.
'You're still green, though.' Lan Rou increased her pace and created two more tangible afterimages.
She lunged forward and tried to catch Baek Ain off guard.
SWOOOOOOSH! BOOM!
Baek Ain suddenly disappeared with a shockwave that washed over the training ground. Lan Rou's afterimages disappeared and left the true one standing in disbelief.
BAM!
Baek Ain landed back to the ground while hugging Lan Rou's body from behind, preventing her from moving around. He used Super Jump twice to bounce back and forth from the floor and air.
And The instant acceleration he could do is similar to Lan Rou's top speed. Lan Rou could dodge Baek Ain's surprise attack if she took this spar seriously and enhanced her senses.
A wry yet proud smile formed on Lan Rou's face because her disciple had exceeded her. Even if she dodged that attack, she couldn't defeat him quickly before the situation turned unfavorable.
"It's my loss," She glanced back.
"Hehe~! Rou, can we do it again today?" Baek Ain suddenly whispered to her ears.
Lan Rou was taken aback and replied, "Y-You... Fine, it's your reward for winning this spar."
After the spar, they returned to Baek Ain's room and did an intense bed gymnastic.
...
...
Another week passed, and Baek Ain followed Yafei to Xiao Clan's banquet to celebrate Xiao Yan's acceptance to the Jia Ma Academy by chance.
Even though Xiao Xun'er(Gu Xun'er) is known as the most talented draftee of Jia Ma Academy from Wu Tan City, Xiao Yan is still the star of this event.
As expected from the protagonist halo.
Yafei is wearing a red dress, but not too revealing because she doesn't want to show her body to random people. She has become Baek Ain's woman and decided to be more modest.
Meanwhile, Baek Ain wore a simple black-colored hanfu with a red robe below it. He stood behind Yafei, who drank fruit juice with Xiao Clan's leader.
The Xiao Clan's Leader, Xiao Zhan, noticed Baek Ain's presence and curiously asked, "Lady Fei, If I may know, who's this youth behind you?"
"He looks quite young to be your bodyguard."
Yafei giggled happily and replied, "Oh? He's my soon-to-be fianc."
"Eh??"
