“Hoo… Are you sincere when you say that?”

“..I don’t say two things with the same mouth.”

Merita cried and tried to dissuade Agnes from answering with determination.

“No, senior! It would be better for me than for you to be humiliated… “

“It’s okay, Merita. Not keeping your promise is an even greater humiliation.”

“!”

Those words were spoken to Merita, but they were also spoken to Agnes and herself.

“Hmm… It’s a disgrace.”

Minwoo seemed to think of something while watching the two people’s dramatic performance and said this to Agnes.

“By the way, Senior Agnes, do you know why I proposed such a bet to Merita?”

To Minwoo’s question, Agnes gritted her teeth and answered.

“..Are you calling that a question? How should I know what’s going on in your head when you harass women under the pretext of club activities?”

“It’s a harassment…”

Minwoo responded to Agnes’ shouting with his eyes shining.

“Then, Senior Agnes, let me ask you one thing. Do you demand the same nobility from your enemies as yourself?”

“What?”

Agnes asked back, as if that was some kind of strange question. Minwoo spoke again.

“Are you going to say this to your future enemies? I’m a woman, so ask me to fight while taking that into consideration?”

“That… What the hell kind of nonsense!”

“I don’t think you understand what I mean yet.”

Among the students who were watching, Minwoo pointed out a man who appeared to be a special engineer and spoke.

“The student standing there.”

“Huh? Me?”

“That’s right. Let me ask you a question. Let’s say that in the future, you officially became a knight and went to war. However, you were accidentally ambushed by the enemies, and you ended up facing them without even having proper clothes on. Then. In that situation, would you be so embarrassed that you were naked that you wouldn’t be able to swing your sword properly?”

To Minwoo’s question, the man smiled and answered as if asking such a question.

“Of course not. If I don’t fight right away, I look like I’m going to die, but what’s the big deal about being naked?”

“That’s right, Senior Agnes.”

In response to the man’s answer, Minwoo looked towards Agnes again. Agnes seemed to barely understand Minwoo’s words. However, Agnes was not left without something to say.

“But isn’t he a man? Men and women have positions…”

“Your position..? What is it?”

Agnes could not finish his sentence and closed his mouth. While he was speaking, he realized something. That can’t be an excuse.

Only then did Agnes understand Minwoo’s words.

‘The enemy doesn’t pay attention to me because I’m a woman. No, because she is a woman, she will use that as a weakness and dig in even more viciously. Did he want to tell me that?’

“Senior…”

“…”

Merita called Agnes with a dark expression. But Agnes just kept her mouth shut for a long time.

Soon, Agnes raised her head and saw Minwoo.

“You’re right…”

“Senior..!”

“It’s okay, Merita. There’s nothing wrong with what he said. This is my… Defeat.”

Agnes stood up and approached Minwoo. Then he looked directly at Minwoo and said.

“I will admit defeat. I completely agree with what you said. But..!”

“But?”

Agnes took a deep breath and spoke again as if he had made a great decision.

“I can’t say it twice. I will take Merita’s bet for her. So don’t lay a hand on her.”

“Senior..!”

Merita’s sad voice came from behind. But Agnes said nothing more.

“Is that so? Then…”

After thinking for a moment, Minwoo said this.

“Could you please close your eyes for a moment?”

“?”

“Come on.”

“…”

Although Agnes was puzzled by the sudden request of her, she followed Minwoo’s instructions without saying anything and closed her eyes.

How much time has passed?

Agnes suddenly felt like the surroundings had become quiet.

“Now you can open your eyes again.”

“…”

Agnes opened her eyes.

‘..What is it?’

I felt something… A strange feeling that was difficult to express in words. Nothing has changed since before…

Minwoo continued speaking without Agnes having time to worry about the sense of difference.

“Senior Agnes is truly a respectable senior who cares for his juniors, doing this for his beloved juniors.”

“There is no need for unnecessary words, so go ahead and do what you want to do.”

“I see. Then, please take off your clothes.”

“..!”

“Of course, you have to take off all your underwear.”

“Well, well… “

“You probably didn’t think I would look after it, did you?”

Seeing that still unpleasant smile, Agnes wanted to slap Minwoo once again. But he had to endure. As I said myself, breaking a promise was more humiliating than being naked.

Agnes, who was slowly touching her collar, looked back at Minwoo and spoke with a reluctant expression.

“Definitely here…”

Do you really have to take off your clothes here? Agnes was about to say that, but her mouth was shut again. That question was just the same stupid question as before.

Just because she’s a woman, will she fight her enemies while paying attention to what people around her think?

The answer was fixed.

“Do you have something to say?”

“No… It’s nothing.”

Finally, Agnes took off her collar.

The female knight special training uniform was a one-piece suit with no separate top and bottom. When Agnes undid her waist strap, the front buckle opened, revealing her pure white skin and underwear. Agnes bit her lip as she moaned. I felt my cheeks getting hot. Now the training uniform was just hanging on her shoulders like a gown.

“What are you doing?”

“Ugh…”

At Minwoo’s urging her, Agnes closed her eyes tightly and quickly took off her training clothes. With the sound of her cloth falling to the floor, Agnes’ body her her her, clad only in her underwear her her her, was revealed.

‘Merita… Is this what you felt like?”

Agnes felt a sense of shame from the countless gazes around her, making her want to hide somewhere at once. For some reason, I couldn’t hear her whispering at all, but Agnes’ face grew hot just from looking at the hundreds of eyes of her.

“You should even take off your underwear.”

“Ugh..!”

Agnes glared at Minwoo, clenching her fists as if she were going to beat him up at any moment. But Minwoo just shrugged her shoulders.

A promise was a promise. Agnes eventually started touching her underwear.

‘He wasn’t wrong. But… Why is it like this…’

Agnes was endlessly conflicted in her mind.

There was nothing wrong with Minwoo’s point. On the contrary, Agnes was able to see Minwoo again. At first he thought he was simply a low-class man, but his actions had a deeper meaning that even Agnes himself did not realize. If it was something he did to make us realize that, it wasn’t something he couldn’t understand.

But understanding it in your head and actually doing it were two completely different things.

‘I’m embarrassed..! So much so that I want to bite my tongue and die right now!’

She is the vice-president of the student council and the daughter of the leader of the Imperial Knights, and she ended up exposing herself naked in front of numerous students. No doubt word will spread in an instant. And my reputation and that of the student council will be tarnished. As she thought about her future school life, her eyes seemed to turn white.

‘But quitting now would be even more shameful…!’

Agnes opened her eyes.

Minwoo was looking at himself.

Many students were looking at them.

“…”

And Agnes became completely naked.

“Now… Are you satisfied?”

“Indeed…”

Seeing Agnes standing proudly and glaring at him even though she was naked, Minwoo applauded her. He was truly admiring.

If you sit down because you are embarrassed, you are not a person that Minwoo can be satisfied with.

If you don’t know the shame itself, you won’t be excited.

However, if you know the shame and still want to face it…

That was Minwoo’s preference.

“That’s great. You are indeed Senior Agnes.”

“…”

It only sounded sarcastic. Agnes said with her snort.

“Screw it. Now… What should I do? Do you want me to dance at least?”

Agnes said that with a smile as if nothing had happened, but in Minwoo’s eyes, it only seemed like bravado. That’s because, although her posture she was confident, Agnes’ face her her she was stained beyond red.

“Haha, you don’t have to be so pretentious. It’s natural to be embarrassed.”

“Shut up..! I’m not at all… “

“Senior Agnes.”

Minwoo said, interrupting Agnes.

“To appreciate your courage, let me answer a few of your questions.”

“Curiosity?”

“Aren’t you curious about my power?”

“!”

Agnes took a breath at Minwoo’s words. Minwoo, satisfied with the response, continued speaking.

“Now, Senior Agnes is starting to feel it. What kind of power I have…”

“What is that…”

Am I already feeling it?

Agnes looked like she didn’t know what Minwoo was talking about. Then Minwoo smiled and gave a hint.

“If you were a normal senior, you would have noticed right away, but since you’re naked, it seems like you’re having trouble seeing what’s going on around you.”

“..?”

At Minwoo’s words, Agnes looked around. It is true that he was deliberately avoiding eye contact with the students looking at him, but… What on earth does he want to say?

Minwoo spoke again, pointing to his ears.

“You still don’t know?”

“!”

Agnes finally realized. She felt goosebumps all over her body.

‘Now that I think about it, why is it so quiet?’

In fact, it was something I should have noticed a long time ago.

If it’s such a big problem, it’s strange that we don’t notice it.

“What the heck… “

Agnes looked around her with a devastated expression.

Everything except Minwoo and Agnes himself stood still.

Even though there are so many people, it is quiet as if there is no one around.

Other than the sound of breathing, nothing can be heard.

Of course.

Because no one is talking.

Because no one is moving.

Agnes looked back at Minwoo with a terrified expression.

Minwoo must have liked that expression as he spoke with a smile on his face.

“This is my strength.”
