I Became a Genius Swordsman in the Pretty Girl Game

A few days ago, before they had decided which broadcast to go on.

Utopia had returned to the Academy in Jeju Island.

While Jin Yuha was away for a short time to test his sword in personal training.

All the female members of Utopia, excluding him, gathered in one place.

“Everyone’s here.”

The person who had called them together was none other than Sophia.

“The reason I gathered you all here is to discuss our upcoming broadcast.”

“The broadcast? Can’t we just pick one at random?”

Kang Do-hee spoke as if it wasn’t a big deal, but Sophia shook her head.

“No, I want to suggest that we make this broadcast our starting point.”

“Starting point?”

“Yes, do you all remember what Shin Se-hee said the other day? About raising Jin Yuha to a position where everyone in the world will recognize him.”

Ah.

They remembered.

The day when they all became Jin Yuha’s lovers in name, after Shin Se-hee pretended to be him and sent text messages to arrange the alliance.

Shin Se-hee had said that it would be impossible to become his lovers right away.

The only way for everyone to be happy without tarnishing Jin Yuha’s reputation was to maintain their current relationship, raise him to the highest position, and only then would it be possible.

She explained that this was the only way that wouldn’t bring dishonor to Jin Yuha’s name, and the party members agreed.

“This broadcast is a good starting point. Jin Yuha has gained some fame through various activities, but there are many more things that only we know and haven’t been revealed to the public.”

That was true.

While they had gained some recognition through their YouTube channel and some of their major achievements had spread by word of mouth.

There were still many unknown stories about their activities within the Academy, Gate raids, the Hunter Management Bureau, villains, and demons.

“So, I think ‘Meeting a Hunter’ is the best choice for our recorded broadcast.”

“Meeting a Hunter’! I know that one! It’s the one with the lie detector!”

Lim Ga-eul, who was a fan of the show, exclaimed excitedly.

“Yes, that show is the most suitable for revealing our achievements naturally, rather than us bragging about them.”

“Meeting a Hunter’… That’s not a bad idea. Hmm, but I’m sure there will still be people who doubt the truth even with the lie detector.”

Shin Se-hee added to Sophia’s plan.

“We’re so used to being in Utopia that we don’t realize it, but from an outsider’s perspective, our party is completely nonsensical. So, I think we should add something to Sophia’s plan.”

The Utopia party members put their heads together and started planning for the broadcast.

.

.

.

And back to the present.

“Th-That… I mean, the bracelet is saying it’s the truth…?”

“Uh, well… Are you saying that all of this is true…?”

The two MCs spoke in a flustered tone.

“Why would we lie?”

Kang Do-hee stated the obvious, and the other party members nodded in agreement.

The two MCs of “Meeting a Hunter”, Su-jin and Yu-jin, exchanged glances and communicated with their eyes.

‘If this goes on air as it is…’

‘It’s definitely going to be a broadcasting accident, right?’

They lowered their voices as if they were at a loss.

“If everything you said is true, we might be suspected of creating a manipulated broadcast…”

“So, do you have any evidence…?”

It was the first time in the history of “Meeting a Hunter” that they had asked for evidence even after verifying with the lie detector artifact, but they had no choice.

If it had been a group of hunters with a few years of experience, they wouldn’t have gone this far.

But the achievements of Utopia, a party that had only been formed for about a year, were too unrealistic.

At that moment, Shin Se-hee, who had been stroking her lips, nodded.

“Yes, of course, we can show you evidence. How about the most recent one?”

“The… Fire Dragon you said you defeated…?”

Yes, out of all the things Utopia had claimed, the one that was the hardest to believe was the Fire Dragon.

It was a rare dragon species, and it wasn’t like they had just stumbled upon a goblin somewhere.

They said they had defeated it just before coming here, so it was hard to believe.

However, Shin Se-hee smiled calmly and replied.

“The head is currently stored in my subspace tattoo, but the rest of the body is stored elsewhere because there’s not enough space.”

“Please!”

“Show us!”

The two MCs spoke desperately.

“Then, please step back for a moment.”

The two MCs stepped aside, and Shin Se-hee opened her subspace tattoo to retrieve the Fire Dragon’s head.

Kuuuuuuuuung!

A huge, heavy mass landed in the studio.

“Kyaaaak!”

“Heeek!”

The two MCs, who were making a fuss, looked at Shin Se-hee with wide eyes.

.

.

.

The two MCs stared blankly at the monster’s head in front of them.

The pitch-black skin was charred, and one of the yellow eyes had burst, but it was still enough to imagine the dragon’s grandeur in life.

“This is… the Fire Dragon…”

“If this is just the head, how big was the whole body…?”

It was truly overwhelming in size.

It looked exactly like a dragon’s head, with no room for doubt.

“Wait a minute! How can we be sure that this is really the head of the Fire Dragon!? It could be the head of another dragon species!”

One of the MCs, who had been overwhelmed by the sight of the Fire Dragon’s head, finally came to her senses and asked Shin Se-hee.

“As far as I know, one of the PDs here has a Ph.D. in Monsterology, right? I think they can verify it.”

.

.

.

“It’s definitely the head of a dragon species!”

Waaaaaaahhhhhh!!!

With the verification from the PD with a Ph.D. in Monsterology, the atmosphere in the audience heated up even more.

.

.

.

After a short break to cool down the overly heated atmosphere, the recording resumed.

“It’s been a whirlwind of a time, hasn’t it?”

“Yes, we didn’t expect it to go this way either…”

The two MCs sighed heavily, looking exhausted.

However, the directors and staff were beaming with joy.

‘This is huge!’

‘It’s a hit!’

They had expected to create some buzz and maybe get slightly higher-than-average viewership, but this was beyond their expectations.

It was already guaranteed to be number one in its time slot, and they even dared to predict that it would break records for the highest viewership across all programs.

“Now, let’s move on to the second part! It’s time to answer some questions from the viewers!”

“Let’s see… Let’s randomly pick some letters!”

A flashy hologram of a large letter box appeared in front of them.

Paaang!

The MC kicked the letter box with her foot.

Swoosh!

A letter slid out.

“Oh, this one’s for Jin Yuha!”

[Question for Jin Yuha! I know you train every day, but I’m curious about your daily schedule!]

‘Hmm? A question for me? About my training schedule?’

That was something I could easily answer, as it was just a matter of talking about my daily routine.

I took the microphone and replied, “Well, I usually wake up around 4 a.m. and do a check-up and aerobic exercise until 6 a.m. From 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., I do 10x gravity training. From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., I do monster combat training. After that, I attend Academy classes, and after classes, I usually train until 9 p.m. From 9 p.m. to 1 a.m., I do sensory control training.”

“……What?”

“Well, it varies a bit depending on the day, but that’s the basic schedule.”

“Wait a minute! When do you even sleep? You only get about three hours of sleep, so when do you rest?”

“Hmm? During classes?”

“What…? I heard that the classes at Velvet Academy are intense.”

“Ah, Academy classes are like a break. Well, except for the swordsmanship major classes. My master’s classes are harder than training, so on those days, I just don’t rest.”

“……”

They looked at me as if I were a monster.

Similar questions kept coming.

[Question for Jin Yuha! Can you show us your swordsmanship?]

[Question for Jin Yuha! What was the most dangerous moment for you, and how did you feel?]

[Question for Jin Yuha! I heard you’re not only good at swordsmanship but also excellent at commanding. What should we do in this situation? A~]

[Question for Jin Yuha!]

[Question for Jin Yuha!]

‘Why are all the questions directed at me…?’

No, maybe it was actually a good thing?

It was probably better than having strange answers from Lim Ga-eul or Lee Yoo-ri.

‘The questions are not that difficult, either.’

I wondered if the party members would feel left out since all the questions were directed at me, but they all had proud expressions on their faces, so I guessed they didn’t mind.

“……Can Jin Yuha even do anything wrong?”

“Ah, is that the next question?”

“Ah, no! I, I was just rambling! And the last question! It’s for Jin Yuha again!”

Swoosh!

But this time, the question was different.

[Jin Yuhaaaa! Have you ever had a girlfriend? If so, how many times?]

It was a mischievous question.

Usually, personal questions like this were filtered out because of the lie detector artifact, but there were so many questions that they couldn’t filter them all.

‘Hmm, I knew this kind of question would come up eventually.’

“……”

For some reason, the studio fell silent.

I clicked my tongue.

‘Well, the answer is easy. It’s a bit embarrassing, but since there’s a lie detector artifact, why would I lie?

I answered calmly, “Never.”

Would I have had a girlfriend?

Before coming here, I was an orphan who had to struggle to survive, so I didn’t have time for something as luxurious as a relationship.

My only hobby was playing the phone game Velvet School Life.

And since coming here, I’ve been living my life in daily increments, trying to prevent the world from ending, so when would I have time for something sweet and sour like a relationship?

“……Are you sure?”

“No.”

“……Really? Never?”

“No, just…”

Why do you keep asking the same question?

Are you trying to embarrass me?

I frowned.

“Hey, that’s a bit rude, isn’t it? We’re wearing lie detector artifacts, so why would I lie? And when would I have time for a relationship? I’m already busy enough with Gate raids, personal training, and dealing with villains.”

I became a bit sensitive and started talking faster.

It’s common for singles to get sensitive when their single status is brought up.

“……So, what about later?”

“Well, later… If the world truly becomes peaceful, then maybe I’ll consider it.”

I didn’t understand why people were so interested in my love life, but I finished answering the question.

‘Tsk, I knew I shouldn’t have come on this show. Damn kids…’

Jin Yuha glared at Director Lina, but…

That night, the fan cafe went crazy when the fans who had attended the recording returned, and…

For some reason, a party was held within Utopia as well.
