Chapter 14: Hypnosis Digs Deep to Break Iron Will, Ability Unleashed to Shatter the Trap

According to the game’s setting, abilities blessed by the Lustful Defiled Gods come in two types.

One is Conditional Power.

Conditional Power requires meeting specific conditions to activate.

The more precise and numerous the conditions, the stronger the ability’s effect.

That wall-phasing woman must’ve met some condition to slowly pass through his door, trying to ambush him.

Now, Renyu Saiki’s manipulation of the students was a Conditional Power triggered by certain conditions.

But what were those conditions?

Simple.

“Sound, attention, and ambient scent. That’s what you need for your hypnosis, right, Renyu Saiki?”

The classroom lights flickered back on.

Su Buyu unwrapped his bandages, the pen’s sharp tip glinting at his brow. He lunged, aiming to seize Renyu Saiki.

But a blurry figure and his sudden halt made him realize something critical.

Her hypnosis wasn’t entirely useless on him.

His steps faltered, his fingertips tingled, and his heart beat erratically, signaling his body was slipping out of control.

Cold rain hit his back through the window, the chill and the pain in his palm keeping him upright.

“Hah, Su Buyu? Even if you’ve guessed my ability’s conditions… so what? This hypnosis is my craft’s pinnacle, a divine gift. I trained with countless people to master it.

You, a kid who hasn’t even grown hair, think you can break free with just willpower?

Keep dreaming! Kids, Su Buyu’s the bad kid. Grab him. I’ll punish him hard!”

Renyu Saiki laughed wildly.

She snapped her fingers, but the crisp sound mingled with the relentless rain outside, only a faint echo lingering.

The sound was too diluted, and even the hypnotized students stood still, unresponsive.

Su Buyu laughed at the sight.

“You thought I opened the window just to look cool? With air circulating and that noisy rain outside… Even if you meet the conditions, the effect’s weak, huh?”

He’d wondered why she kept snapping her fingers, why her pomegranate perfume was so strong, why she used such extreme methods to grab attention.

Now it was clear—preparation for her hypnosis.

“Now you’re out of moves! Without hypnosis, without control over the students, what can you do?”

Su Buyu gritted his teeth, pointing the pen at her brow, taunting to mask his impaired movement.

Since earlier, his left foot had gone numb.

He’d underestimated Conditional Power.

But no matter.

Some students were regaining clarity.

“…What am I doing?”

“Why’s there water on my arm…?”

Mumbled voices spread, their dazed eyes clearing as they saw the figure by the window.

“…It’s… class time, right?”

“No… good kids, it’s time to punish the bad kid~”

Before they fully woke, Renyu Saiki rushed forward, pulling a spray bottle from her pocket, aiming it at their faces.

A flurry of snaps exploded like firecrackers, ringing in every student’s ears.

In moments, the half-awake students fell back under her control, enslaved again.

“…Huh?”

Su Buyu froze, stunned.

That… fast?

“Su Buyu, you really think I mastered hypnosis without preparation?

To snap so fast, I trained as a guitarist for years!”

…What?

What’s that got to do with it?

And you can become a guitarist like that?

This didn’t match his understanding.

A flicker of shock passed through his light brown eyes. Though silent, Renyu Saiki caught his confusion.

She took a deep breath, proudly raising her head, declaring.

“I could satisfy seven women in a minute! Even a massage gun can’t match my fingers. Every girl I’ve touched praises my speed, my talent.

This is my power, my control over others! No one can take it, no one can match it.

This is my divine gift~

I’ll use it to control, to dominate, to turn everyone into lustful beasts.”

She gazed at her slender fingers, kissing them drunkenly, like a lover.

Her tongue licked the dirt under her nails, moistening, tasting, over and over, the clear sucking sound mixing with the rain, echoing through the classroom.

Finally, she tilted her head, her sharp gaze landing on the boy.

“But you… after hypnotizing so many, you’re the only anomaly. I won’t let your uniqueness disrupt me. I’ll make you… sit like a dog.”

Her words fell, thunder roaring overhead.

Her eyes gleamed with menace.

But Su Buyu’s only response was a cold.

“…Freak.”

He brushed back his bangs into a slick-back, keeping his vision clear, annoyed.

Cold rain poured in, slapping his back, clinging to his skin.

He tore off his shirt, tying it around his waist, leaving only a tank top.

He didn’t care about her mental state or preferences.

To him, anyone abusing power to turn others into lustful beasts, driving them to ruin…

Regardless of identity, gender, or status…

Deserved a thorough beating!

Especially someone targeting him!

“Next, I’ll crush you.”

Su Buyu quietly removed the pen’s cap, staring into her fox-like eyes, gripping the gray cap like a winning talisman.

[One Carrot, One Hole] granted rapid displacement.

But it required setting a “carrot” and “hole,” and they had to match.

He’d been limited by fixed thinking, always needing a “hole” first to fill with a “carrot.”

But just now, a new idea hit.

Why not create a fitting “hole” himself?

As lightning struck, his forearm tensed, blue-white cracks bursting on the window.

He flung the gray pen cap from his fingers.

Then.

“Set the hole as the pen cap, the carrot as the pen tip.”

“Ability, activate!”
