Infiltrating the Superhuman Training Girls’ School of the Republic of China!

Chapter 20 - Response to Coercion



“You want my body, Major?”

There’s no need to pretend to be stupid. Even an ordinary person would understand what Zhou Lizhi is saying at this point. She wants me, my body, my dignity. The superiors instructed me to accept it, but… this quickly, in this way?

I thought for a moment. How should I deal with this?

“Do you find it contemptible?”

“Honestly, it would be a lie if I said I didn’t.”

Let’s answer like Shin Eun-young would. I shouldn’t act too awkwardly here. I’m a college graduate. A somewhat intellectual from Korea. I might be clearly outmatched by some of the big shots gathered here, but still an intellectual who has lived without having to bow down. I’m a female college student with self-esteem and pride in my recently awakened superpower.

“Because that’s not seduction, it’s coercion.”

“It sounds like you wouldn’t have a problem if it were seduction.”

“Can seduction by an all-powerful school instructor wielding authority really be called seduction? Isn’t it intimidation?”

“I’m well aware that my actions don’t look very good.”

She turned slightly away from me and circled around me. Every time she moved, the military sword at her waist rattled with a clank.

“But that’s why I’m here.”

“To devour vulnerable female students from small countries?”

“Your words are harsh, student.”

The Weapon Master didn’t seem too upset despite saying that. She said:

“But there’s something interesting. Do you not have any aversion to sharing intimacy between women? Usually, that’s what surprises people the most. Even if they’re used to sexual exploitation using power, many kids don’t expect a female instructor to try to do that.”

Ah, perhaps I should have shown that reaction first?

It’s too late now.

It would be better to set the character as not having an aversion to lesbians. Actually, I have no aversion to embracing women, so let’s go with that.

I still have a bit of aversion to embracing a woman and then having that woman get hurt because of me. But that, it was unavoidable. It wasn’t my fault that the woman who was set as the contact target handed over state secrets to me and was executed by the government.

It shouldn’t be because of me. If that was because of me, if that was my responsibility…

“Shin Eun-young.”

At that moment, Zhou Lizhi pushed me towards the tank and forcefully pressed her body against mine. She brought her eyes right in front of my face and said:

“You seem to have a lot of wounds. Are you really just an ordinary college student?”

“Are you a doctor? Able to see other people’s wounds?”

“A Weapon Master’s ability isn’t just about weapons. Weapons are tools for inflicting wounds. The essence of this ability lies in inflicting wounds on the opponent and madly tearing those wounds open. That’s why this ability is so powerful. Have you heard the story of a single Weapon Master defeating an entire Japanese army division during the Generalissimo’s Northern Expedition?”

“There was… such a story…”

“My ability gives tremendous psychological pressure to the person I want. When they stand before me, the wounds they’ve tried to hide and forget resurface, and it’s not easy to completely suppress them even with the strongest mind. Eun-young, your mind is strong. But despite that, something is trying to leak through that barrier. Tell me, student. What exactly is the wound you’re hiding?”

“Do I have an obligation to tell you, Instructor?”

“Is it about a woman?”

She hit the nail on the head.

“Did that woman… die?”

She hit the nail on the head again. I fearlessly pushed Zhou Lizhi away and escaped from the tank’s hull where I had been cornered. Leaning my back against the wall and being pinned down by a beautiful woman pressing from the front was not good for either my heart or my head.

“Is it that the Imperial Guard of the Chinese Empire knows everything? Don’t jump to conclusions, Major.”

“The Generalissimo is not Yuan Shikai. Don’t call this country an empire within China.”

“It’s not much different in my country. At least in my country, a mere major can’t exploit foreign students by pushing their body onto them like this.”

“Sexual exploitation of women weaker than oneself exists everywhere you go.”

“Then this country is a republic, but.”

At some point, I was genuinely getting heated by her attitude. Even while knowing that I should control myself. Even while knowing that I shouldn’t ruin my relationship with Zhou Lizhi at this school. For some reason, her attitude, her gaze, and even her irritatingly handsome face were getting on my nerves.

She was looking down on me. I think of myself as a person without patriotism, but the moment I realized that it was also based on the relationship between China and Korea, I couldn’t stop my venomous words towards her.

“Then this country is a republic, but this school is an empire, isn’t it? This foreign student special class is an empire, isn’t it? What do you want to do? Do you want to become an emperor? Is it that you want to make me your concubine, Major Zhou Lizhi?”

“Puha, puhah… Puhahahahaha!”

Suddenly, the major took off her military cap and burst into laughter.

“This school, this class is my empire, you say? How nice would that be?”

“If that were really the case, all these beauties gathered here would be yours, right?”

“That’s part of it. But there are only a few I can actually reach out to.”

“Because touching a Korean won’t escalate into a diplomatic issue?”

“Yes, only that hypnotist and you are safe.”

Among the people gathered here, only those from countries considered to be under China’s perfect sphere of influence are Vietnam and Korea, is that it? India belongs to Britain, South America is divided between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, and Europe consists of distant friendly countries.

It’s somehow infuriating.

Moreover, even if there comes a day when I have to mix bodies with her for operational reasons, I don’t want to do it like this. This is not good. If it’s not a situation where I absolutely have to follow her coercion, I don’t want to give my body to this crazy sex offender at this moment.

I quickly pulled out duct tape from my arm, cut it, and tightly bound both of her hands. Zhou Lizhi opened her eyes wide and asked:

“What are you doing?”

“If you want such a small, weak, easy-to-handle Korean girl.”

At that moment, the military sword at Zhou’s waist unsheathed itself and pointed its blade downward to cut the tape binding her hands. I quickly pulled out another tape and stuck the blade of the floating sword to the tank’s hull. The sword trembled as if it were a living creature, trying to overcome the adhesiveness of the tape, but the tape created by my ability was not something that would come off so easily.

“Instead of saying that your country is better than me, prove that you are better than me. Stop thinking about dominating me by tearing open my wounds with that ability that everyone has.”

“But, student.”

“Shut up.”

I tore off another piece of tape and stuck it to Zhou Lizhi’s mouth. With ordinary duct tape, covering the mouth usually doesn’t work because it comes off easily with just a little movement of the lips. Zhou seemed to know this and tried hard to move her lips to shake off the tape, but it didn’t seem very successful.

But her eyes somehow…

“You don’t seem to dislike it that much, Major.”

I said. Zhou Lizhi could still only make muffled sounds, but the instructor, with her hands tied and mouth sealed, was just looking at me with somewhat desperate eyes without offering proper resistance.

Only the two of us were on the sandy field. I forcefully made her kneel on the ground, then grabbed her chin and slightly lifted her head.

“Then for now, endure with this.”

I impulsively said as I lightly kissed her lips, or rather, the duct tape covering them. Even though our lips didn’t directly touch, I could feel Zhou’s body trembling.
…Is she trembling with anger to that extent?

“Even that is granted because your face is decent. Be thankful you were born with a good appearance. The tape will fall off on its own after two hours, so you might not have time for lunch, but you’ll have time to prepare for the afternoon entrance ceremony. You can’t call anyone, can you? You can’t show that appearance to others, right? Stay there quietly and wait for time to pass. And think carefully about why I rejected your kind offer, why this little Korean girl who seemed easy to devour has subdued you like this, while you’re kneeling there.”

I left Zhou Lizhi in the middle of the field without fixing the tank or freeing her, and slowly headed towards the dormitory.

All the while thinking in my head, haven’t I already made a big mistake?
No, seriously. Am I going to be okay from now on? Haven’t I become weird after hanging out with strange people for a while?
