"If you cause any more of a ruckus, I'll handle it myself. Got it?"
Her expression brimmed with overwhelming confidence, bold and unyielding. Radiating the spirit of a true heroine, she swept back her platinum blonde hair—stitched with golden threads, it seemed. Her golden eyes, fierce as a lion dubbed the king of beasts, overflowed with indomitable resolve that no trial could break.
She'd stepped in between us at the perfect dramatic moment, slamming the iron club in her hand into the ground with tremendous force. The earth-shaking impact showcased her dominating presence, naturally drawing all eyes to her.
"Yupi Citrine."
"Oh, you know me."
"What an honor to meet an instructor from the Academy here."
The woman dispatched to Zerta Kingdom to oversee the entrance exams.
An Academy affiliate, a professor, and the head of Class B in the Martial Division.
The heroine of Academy Lily Princess, who conquered the named dungeon 'Thunderclap Mountains' and earned the title of Royal, the pinnacle of Guardians. In this world, not knowing her would make you a spy.
"I'm a fan. I've admired you for so long."
"You're making me blush. I don't think I'm all that impressive."
"Could I shake your hand?"
"Of course."
I extended my hand with conviction. She met it without flinching, solidifying our bond.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Wow, you're using polite speech on Yupi that you never use with me.
"Showing respect to elders is normal where I'm from."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙What about me?
"I don't treat people who can't act their age like adults."
I ignored the author and focused on Yupi in front of me.
'Three protagonists from the webnovel in one spot.'
It was a thrilling moment. My favorite characters from my top novel, all together. My eyes welled up, emotion choking my words.
"Meeting the one who gives people dreams and hope... I'm deeply moved."
"Oh? I didn't expect that much emotion. Surprising."
"No, any guy would react the same."
The black leotard clung to her skin, accentuating her curves. Steel bikini armor layered over it captivated the eyes.
The steel skirt below covered her lower body—or so it seemed, but its extreme shortness did the opposite, highlighting everything.
It was as vulgar as lifting the skirt to flash her panties. Boldly exposing her groin and rear, she flaunted raw sensuality.
Between her firm thighs, a Y-shaped valley was etched. The tight leotard dug into her womanhood, forming a pretty clamshell cleft that blatantly twitched before me.

Important enough to say twice.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Reader.
"What's up? I'm savoring this emotional moment. Busy, so don't bother me."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Do you know your vision is being shared with readers?
"Of course I do. You told me when I possessed Solis's body."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Haha, I figured you'd forgotten. Our reader couldn't possibly be a pervert openly peeking at someone's private parts.
"Misconception. Total misconception."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Misconception my ass. Then what's this right in front of my eyes?
"Pussy."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Close your eyes right now.
Oh wow, scary. Her dead-serious tone scared me more than curses. Sensing the author's patience at its limit, I hurriedly straightened my posture.
"Bowing my head deeply like this for a greeting... my eyes just wandered, ahem."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙What lunatic pretends to bow while sneaking peeks at someone's crotch?
"She's right here."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙You really are a lunatic.
The text from the system window felt so convincing it almost made me nod in agreement.
"So what? It's not like it wears out from a quick glance."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Try saying that to the girl it's happening to.
"Hm?"
Only after hearing the author did I realize and glance at Yupi Citrine's reaction.
"D-don't stare so intently. It's embarrassing."
Unable to hide her flushed cheeks, she scratched at them, stuttering as she averted her gaze.
Any ordinary woman would have slapped me, but this was Yupi Citrine—the crowd's hero, the upright warrior. Even clear faults from others, she understood with deep empathy, blaming herself. A noble soul.
Smack!
Yupi hurriedly tugged the leotard out from her womanhood, restoring it. The elastic fabric snapped back like taut rubber bands against her legs, sending lewd ripples across her sturdy thighs.
"Must've been uncomfortable to look at. Sorry, I didn't choose this outfit."
She sought forgiveness with pitiful sincerity. Though my fault was obvious, her pure sacrificial spirit—taking all blame—matched the webnovel's setting perfectly.
Combined with the glimpse I'd just caught of her intimate area, the synergy hit hard.
Throb!
'Ah, crap.'
Vulgarly, I got an erection.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙You really do all kinds of crazy shit, huh?
"It's a physiological reaction. Can't help it."
It's fine—as long as no one else notices!
"Hey, quick question: how big is this body's erection? In centimeters?"
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Why ask me, you reader bastard?
"Just tell me. I can't measure it right now."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙...17cm.
Thanks, author. Doesn't matter how you know—just glad you do. That's enough to barely hide by hunching over.
Seventeen? I was shocked by the number she gave.
"17cm? That's it?"
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Why? Shocked it's nowhere near average?
"Not that."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Not that?
"It's 5cm smaller than mine."
Throb!
The thought flashed through my mind, and my lower half surged violently, straining against my jeans like it wanted to burst free. Even in loose-fitting pants, it bulged taut, ready to rip through the fabric.
The women watching from the walkway let out chained screams at the outrageous sight.
"Wh-what...?"
Yupi covered her eyes with both hands in bewilderment. A desperate bid for modesty, but pure curiosity leaked through the gaps between her fingers.
"Kyaaah!"
Chloe, snapping to her senses late, screamed pale as a ghost. Even from afar, she wildly swung her sword as if warding me off.
"G-gweeeh!"
From the blanket came an inhuman wail, white foam spilling out. She fainted without even seeing it? Unbelievable.
"Are they all characters from a yuri webnovel? Zero tolerance for this stuff."
Just seeing the bulge through my pants caused this reaction. Raised sheltered, clueless about sex.
Ha, damn. Imagining it made me hard again.
"Author, 17cm doesn't get this big. Why's the erect size the same as my old body?"
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙It's from the high compatibility I mentioned before. Your soul didn't just take over Solis's body—it reshaped his body to match your soul.
"Fascinating."
The soul and body sync so well it even alters the physique. Will my looks change later? I was intensely curious about what came next.
"Got it. So my dick glowing is part of that process."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Huh? Why's it glowing?
"Wasn't it?"
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙I don't know. Scary.
Light leaked through the denim, a dazzling, almost garish glow that intensified over time.
"Uh-oh, what's happening?"
Something weird was going on. Instinct screamed not to let it continue, but with no fix in mind, I flailed.
"Exterminate!"
Then Chloe charged like a bullet, swinging her sword. Target: my precious hidden in the jeans. A chill ran down my spine; I instinctively dodged backward, barely evading.
"How dare you show Eva and me that filthy thing! I'll kill you!"
"That was close. She meant to slice it off for real."
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙Close call.
Almost became a eunuch hauled to the hospital on a stretcher. Imagining it gave me goosebumps all over.
'At least it calmed down.'
The threat must've shrunk my towering erection. The glow faded too.
I didn't know why, and it wasn't in the setting bible, so I'd check later when I had time.
Thanks to Chloe, I found a trigger to quell the light. Jerking off in my room should reveal the reason.
Anyway, with the entrance exam instructor here, I was about to bring up my purpose— the application—when.
"Here."
"What's this?"
"Your Academy acceptance certificate. With this, you're officially an Academy student."
Yupi handed me an envelope containing the certificate only accepted students get. Stunned, I alternated glances between her and it.
"Is it okay to give this to me? I didn't take the exam or even submit an application."
"Don't worry about it. Shattering the mana barrier proved your skill."
"You knew everything."
"Don't underestimate the Academy's intel, Solis. You're already a freshman we're watching."
True to its cutting-edge city tech, they ID'd culprits fast. Impressive.
The biggest itch was scratched.
"But if you want top rank, you'll need to take the exam for points. What'll you do?"
"I'll gladly take the certificate."
Top rank? Whatever—passing is enough.
My goal was solely Purity Academy student privileges. Anything more was worthless to me.
"See you at the Academy."
I had more questions, but they'd wait.
Chloe's sharp glare pierced my crotch with killing intent, so I hurried away.
