Chapter 24: Half of the World Population is on the Side of Handsome Men

These people are staring so hard, theyre going to burn a hole in my face.

I came here with the intention of making a good first impression on the people in the Azure Dragon Academy, but being gawked at was the last thing I expected.

WINK WINK.

WHISPER WHISPER.

The instant we stepped through the main gate of the Azure Dragon Academy, all eyes instantly focused on us, from the other examinees to the students looking down on us from their dormitory windows.

Uhh Okay, this was one awkward situation that I, with all my years of experience, had never encountered before.

As the saying goes, clothes make the man. Just having a handsome face isnt enough.

Next to me, Ak Yeon-Ho, the main culprit behind this mess, strode proudly, basking in the limelight. Moreover, instead of the dignified smile this child of a prestigious family should be showing, he was hiding his mouth with a fan and only occasionally revealing a flirty grin

Kyaa!

Ahh! He just looked at me!

Heeheehee

Every woman we walked past blushed and made a huge fuss.

Ak Yeon-Ho shot every girl a soft smile and nodded in acknowledgement, all the while gently fanning himself. Im not sure if he sprayed perfume on himself or if it was something else, but there was an oddly sweet scent left behind wherever he passed.

If this punk had been born in the unorthodox sects, he would definitely have become a legendary womanizer.

I, on the other hand, concentrated on walking forward. The unfamiliar stares from the peanut gallery made both my body and facial expression stiffen up.

Fortunately, most of the women seem more attracted to Ak Yeon-Ho than me

Are those two cuties new instructor applicants?

I prefer the tall one on the left.

If youre seeing this, you are at the wrong place.

Me too, I can see his caring nature that he tries to hide underneath that cold exterior

Haa, I want him to harshly scold me in class

I didnt hear that. I didnt hear anything. Nope.

Ak Yeon-Ho poked me in the ribs with his elbow and whispered, What do you think, Hyung-nim? Arent you glad that were being welcomed with open arms?

Glad? As if

In addition to the women, we are also attracting attention from the men. I was used to having a lot of people glaring daggers at me, so it wasnt the stares themselves that was the problem, but the passionate stares.

Anyway, three days ago

First impressions are the most important part of an interview! Dull black clothes are forbidden!

After declaring that, Ak Yeon-Ho dragged me all over town to buy new clothes, shoes, and belts. He even made me get a haircut.

Why arent you reading this at ?

Then, today, he woke me up in the wee hours of the morning, took my body into his hands and dolled me up from head to toe. Unfortunately, I didnt think much of it until we left the inn to head to the exam venue.

E-Excuse me Can you tell me your name?

The nightmare began with the first woman we met on the streets, and then

Handsome Oppas! Please eat these.

No, you should eat these instead. The sweets from our shop are far superior to theirs.

What? Have you gone crazy, bitch?

Youre the crazy bitch!

I had to stop these daughters of rival businesses from coming to blows multiple times

Young Master, could you give me a strand of your hair, or a small piece of broken fingernail? a balding, shifty-eyed man that I suspected to be an exorcist of the Mount Mo Sect1 asked.

Anyway, after enduring all those trials, we finally reached the Azure Dragon Academy. Unsurprisingly, we were also the object of everyones attention there.

You ought to read this at .

As this was something I had never experienced in my previous life, I couldnt help but mumble, Fuck lookism.

Ak Yeon-Ho, who overheard my complaint, giggled and turned around to look at me as if he was appreciating his own artwork. He then said, Youre a masterpiece you know, a masterpiece!

Stop blabbing nonsense and hurry up.

We have to wait in line anyway, so why not just enjoy the attention for now?

Just what about this is enjoyable?

The longing gazes of the female students, for example! Also, please mind your expression. You should smile at your future students.

Ak Yeon-Ho lowered his fan, revealing his pretty face and causing a group of girls watching us to fall out of their dorm windows.

OWW! someone screamed.

I sighed and shook my head. However, this simple motion was enough to trigger an Ahn~ sound from somewhere nearby.

Was everything I do going to cause some sort of reaction?

Finally, we joined the line of instructor applicants. Though our interview attire was way too flashy compared to the competition, I decided to look on the bright side.

We definitely succeeded at making a strong first impression!

Never mind shorter, I feel like its getting longer.

Tsk!

These damned kids should be training instead of watching this boring scene. Still, some of them seem more promising. Theyre taking notesNo, wait, are they drawing?

SCRITCH SCRITCH SCRATCH SCRATCH.

Those hand movements, and they way they keep looking at me What if

Are those girlsdrawing us?

I think so. Ak Yeon-Ho smiled and made a seductive pose.

What the fuck are you doing?

Im making it easier for them to draw me. We have a lot of time to kill, anyway.

Sigh I did a facepalm, feeling like a monkey at a zoo. I cant wait for the interview to begin.

I think were next.

Suddenly, one of the applicants who had just finished his interview stormed toward us menacingly and threatened, Eh? Arent you two? Ah ha! I finally found you!

He gave me the impression of a bandit coming to collect a toll.

Ak Yeon-Ho turned toward me and asked, Hyung-nim, is that someone you know?

Why does he ask me that every time something unexpected happens? Thankfully, with my great memory, I instantly recognized this guy.

Thats the pig you kicked out of the inn, I whispered just loudly enough for the pig to hear me.

Who are you calling a pig? The pig huffed like a wild boar, pointed a finger at me, and roared, Listen carefully! The great me is the man known as the Superstrength Blade, Kwak Du-Yong!

Ak Yeon-Ho blinked in realization and replied, Oh So hes the pig from back then?

At the inn where we had first met, Ak Yeon-Ho had publicly humiliated this pig for harassing the other customers, causing him to run away with his tail tucked between his legs.

Unlike previously when he looked like a swine on fire, Kwak Du-Yong laughed confidently, Ha! Looks like you two still havent come to your senses. Since it seems like you guys came to the Azure Dragon Academy to take the instructor examination, let me give you some advice He smiled coldly and lowered his voice, Do you know who this great one is? I am

BONK!

Someone threw a shoe squarely at the back of Kwak Du-Yongs head. He staggered for a moment before regaining his balance, then spun around and yelled, Hey! Which one of you threw that thing?

Get out of the way, you ugly pig! Youre blocking my view of the two gorgeous instructors! A schoolgirl screamed from the dorms, waving her other shoe menacingly.

How dare you talk to an instructor like this! Kwak Du-Yongs face flushed red with rage.

However, this was just the beginning of his ordeal.

SPLAT!

A juicy, half-eaten fruit landed on Kwak Du-Yongs shoulder, thrown by a different schoolgirl.

Why are you doing this to me? I havent done anything to offend you!

It was always hard to get the ball rolling, but once it starts, it doesnt stop.

THWACK! SMACK! THUD! CRACK!

All sorts of objects were thrown at Kwak Du-Yong, mainly from the girls dorms. Probably because they were all martial artists, their accuracy could be said to be artistic.

Why are you bullying my new instructors? Theyre delicate!

Not only are you ugly, you have a shitty personality!

You get zero points in the student evaluation!

UWOOOOOH!

Wow, a man getting ganged up on by little girls just because hes ugly Okay, I know thats not the whole reason. In the eyes of these students, Kwak Du-Yong was the one who initiated the confrontation.

These girls are also proud murim warriors; They wont just stand there and watch an innocent person get bullied, Ak Yeon-Ho said, smiling proudly.

I shot him an incredulous look and said, Is it just me, or is their criteria for good and bad determined by appearances?

Hyung-nim, although it isnt right to judge people by appearances, but also consider their personality, behavior, and speech Ak Yeon-Ho covered his face with his fan and laughed, How do you judge whether a complete stranger is good or bad? In reality, most people instinctively associate good looks with virtue.

Sigh

Now do you understand what I meant when I told you that youre not making good use of your strongest weapon?

CLAP!

Ak Yeon-Ho folded his fan and winked at the girls, who immediately shrieked, KYAAAA!

Look, half of the world population is on the side of handsome men, he continued.

The way this guy is talking, its as if hes a grandmaster passing on his wisdom to his disciples. He does have a point, though

During the whole time we were calmly talking, Kwak Du-Yong continued being pelted by all sorts of objects.

Ugh! Ouch! Stop! Please stop!

He was a large target, making it hard for the kids to miss. Oddly enough, things were being thrown not only from the girls dorms, but also the boys.

Bewildered, I asked, What about the guys? Dont tell me its also because of our looks

Boys being boys, theyll do anything that seems fun.

Proofreaders Note: Our MC and Ak Yeon-Ho got that unspoken rizz. Making girls swoon for them without doing anything!
