The night went by peacefully as he arrived back home to see his mother waiting for him. He shared the details and they went to sleep since they have to wake up early.
Morning passed by as usual but this time Shi Woon had joined him and got introduced to his family. Jaegu would have invited him for breakfast but Shi Woon's father was always present in the morning so only time he could invite Shi Woon would be lunch or dinner.
Arriving at school, time passed by quickly as he sat together with Lee Go and had short talks when the opportunity arose.
He learned more about her and she learned more about him. She was pure but smart girl. The only fault would be her complete belief in her older sister.
Or she was just saying it because of her love.
Jaegu couldn't tell.
"Jaegu, would you like to meet after school? I didn't have time for friends before so I thought we could do friend stuff." Leego asked as they were waiting for the teacher to arrive.
"Just us two or all of us?" Jaegu asked as he looked at her curiously. He was definitely surprised that she hadn't experienced such activities before but then he remembered that he also didn't have time for such things.
"Hmm, I think for now just two of us. I get overwhelmed when I am with too many people. Is that ok?" Leego said in cute tone and with an expression expecting a good answer.
One thing Jaegu could say about this world was the fact that there were many beautiful girls everywhere you went. Maybe it was the fact that this story was focused on girls and the other was mostly about boys doing boys thing.
That might be it but he enjoyed the sights.
Appreciating the beauty of nature was the way of life.
"You look really cute, you know. And as for the meet, we can go out alone nearby for an hour." Jaegu replied as he smiled at her and pinched her cheeks.
They were too adorable for him to resist.
Leego definitely expect those words but felt good about them as they didn't carry the vulgarity of the other men who had said them.
"Thanks, I am looking forward to it."
"No problem, it's something normal but do you have something planned or do you want me to think about it?" Jaegu leaned back on his seat and looked up at the ceiling.
"I was thinking we can go to Karaoke today and have some crepe after finishing up. There is one I saw on the way so it shouldn't take long for us." Leego thought for a moment as she moved her lips while giving a thoughtful expression and nodded.
"That will be fun. I haven't experienced it either so it would be a first."
"Then I will make sure it is fun event for both of us."
"Those are my words. It is my duty as a gentleman to make sure my companion has a great time."
"Well, I am looking forward to it." Leego said with a happy smile filled with excitement. She seemed to be the type to get happy from the small wonders of life.
It was the same for him. He didn't have to experience something grand to enjoy life.
Before they could talk about some other topics, the teacher arrived.
Break time arrived soon enough and Dal Dal arrived in his class to meet him before he could leave.
"Jaegu, I couldn't wait to see you. You don't mind do you?" She hugged him affectionately and looked at him with wavering eyes.
Jaegu could see that her training to become feminine was going very well. He knew she was reading books on these topics and had been trying out different things.
Dal Dal was a dedicated girl and she wouldn't halfass anything she did.
"I don't mind, we are friends so you can always visit if you want." Jaegu replied as he hugged her back casing her to blush at his expression and words.
Just like majority of the girls here she wasn't really used to guys but her aggressive personality acted up leading to such actions.
"I will do that and I was thinking you could come to my house for dinner today. You could eat delicious cooking and we could watch a movie together." Dal Dal asked as they separated and walked together towards the meeting place.
"Would you mind if I brought my family?" Jaegu asked as he thought about it. He would meet Dal Dal'a parents if he went and his family was in a new place so they had yet to make any connections yet especially since it was a posh area.
"Of course, I would love to meet your family so bring them along." Dal Dal said happily showing a beautiful smile as she held his arm and stuck to him.
She didn't mind at all since it was an opportunity to make some points with the family. She didn't love Jaegu but it didn't mean she wasn't developing an interest and for that she was willing to give it her all so they could end up together.
She was aware of Moon's relationship with him but she didn't give two hoots about it. There was no love involved here and they weren't married so it was fair game.
Of course there were also her marks on the line here. Their relation with Jaegu would decide how feminine they had become.
"Thanks Dal Dal, I really appreciate it. My family just moved to a new place so they would be lonely if I leave them out."
"So sweet, you truly care for your family." It was a stark contrast with her style of doing things. She was always fighting with her mother and barely talked to her father.
She couldn't imagine herself asking for an invitation for her parents. It was a different situation and she came from a normal life style so obviously it would be weird for her to think like him.
"Jaegu, if your family is like this than if you don't mind you could have them meet my grandpa and elder sister. They love children and it would be a different experience for them. Let me see.. done. I sent you the address of my place so just give me a call when you want to visit." Leego was walking on the other side and hearing about his family, decided to help out.
There was no other motive but Dal Dal thought she was trying to earn some points as well and seduce Jaegu.
"Thank you for the offer and if we are going like this then I will have to give an invite as well…. I sent my address to you guys so you can visit me when you have time but do give me a call since I could be outside at that time." Jaegu took out his phone and decided to send them his address. He didn't think they would come regularly or anything and even if they did, his family would have people to interact with.
"Hey, get away from my man." Moon Young said in an annoyed tone as she saw Dal Dal stuck to Jaegu's side.
"Hmph, you had your date so now it's my turn." Dal Dal replied, she was really annoyed by Moon Young bragging about her date and how she enjoyed it.
It made her feel angry and ashamed as this ugly monkey had gone on a date before her.
"Did your brain get fried or something?" Moon asked as she caught her arm and pulled her away.
"No, but yours did for sure." Dal Dal kicked towards her head and Moon ducked while going for the shot but Dal Dal's knee came towards her face.
Jaegu blocked her knee and pushed Moon away from Dal Dal. It was an interesting sight but he didn't want them to make a mess outside of the ring.
Dal Dal put down her leg and acted cutely.
"We are all friends here so don't fight like this." Jaegu held Moon Young's hand as he said those words gently to calm her down.
He wasn't a master at relationships and had to wing these things, learning as he walked.
"Okay, I will stop but do you agree with her words." Moon Young was used to fighting Dal Dal over the smallest thing as they were rivals and clear opposites so this was nothing new in her life.
"She is a friend so will hang out with her when I have time. You already know about me so you should understand nothing could happen." Jaegu answered honestly as he had already told Moon that this was his first time going with a girl. He had also never fallen in love, in this world.
"Are you serious? You know, how girly she is? She will bore you to death."
"I can do more than some tomboyish girl who doesn't even a lick of elegance." Dal Dal said with a provocative smile.
"We will see when we get there, now let's spar. We can't waste time." Jaegu said as he gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
He greeted Queen and once again the group sparred for half an hour together. All the girls against Jaegu as they didn't have enough time to go one on one and he could easily take them out even as a group.
Finishing up with the spar, the group took some time to relax their body and ate while having a short talk. The break was only one hour so that was the time they had to spend together in the school.
Time passed by and Jaegu was once again training his Ki in the underground training facility after a short talk with Charles about Shi Woon's father.
Charles told him not to worry about the man as he was very straightforward and represented fairness. He was a man of his word that would never compromise with evil.
It was his hard work that there was less crime in the city.
Hearing about him, Jaegu was impressed.
Moving on, he was back to training and sparring with Leena.
During sparring, Jaegu managed to make a breakthrough and arrived at the first level of Ki cultivation. He was finally a real fighter in this world and his Ki increased after breaking to the new level. It was comparable to his chakra level in the previous world since he had such low reserves.
It was genin level reserves and to him this would be enough to start training seriously now. He could finally harden his body to beyond human levels.
"I thought I had seen everything but this is too shocking. Three days to arrive on the first level when it takes months to a year for everyone else. If that wasn't enough, your control over Ki is just too good. It is the same level as mine and I have been training for a decade. Are you a dragon in disguise?" Leena showed a different expression from usual as Jaegu's breakthrough had been too shocking.
"Nah, I am just a human. So, what should I do now?" Jaegu questioned as he was still new to the Ki thing and might have missed something.
"Meditate and stabilize the changes inside your body. Now you can start learning techniques from tomorrow. It seems you are definitely entering the tournament but can you arrive at level 3 within three months. It is September now and the tournament is in December. The strongest participants are at level three in this age group." Leena explained as she understood that Jaegu wasn't going to stand down. He was stubborn and determined but it wasn't without reason since he was too talented.
'Maybe he can really make it. No, that is total nonsense.' Leena thought as getting Level 3 takes years for most people, it's not like an RPG where you easily leveled up.
"Understood, I will go meditate and thanks for your help. After we are finished, want to have something sweet to celebrate the occasion."
Usually Leena would ignore such an offer but seeing that he really did a good job, she didn't want to discourage him.
"Okay, I will treat you to something good after we are done. It is my gift to you for being such an excellent trainee." Leena patted his shoulder with a calm expression and a small smile.
"Thank you, I will meet you once I am done." Jaegu didn't decline her offer and walked away. It was a chance for him to get closer to his senior and learn more about this world.
And, he couldn't help but feel attracted to her as she was the best looking girl he had seen in his life. Her cold personality somehow suited her but he wanted to see her act sweet.
It was just a simple desire, not love. He couldn't tell how that was going to end.
