Chapter 221 – The More You Have Sex, the Stronger You Get?

One.

“…How the hell did this happen?”

After completing numerous measurements over an hour, the results were displayed on the tablet attached to the measuring instrument.

As soon as I came out of the exit, the tablet was in front of my eyes, so I checked the result without mental preparation or anything, and I had no choice but to freeze as it was.

“Say C…”

The overall Awoken grade marked on the tablet is C.

The score converted into percentage was only 70 points, which was across the C-class chin-up, and even if it was measured in the entire Awoken world, it was only a little below average, but I was nonetheless.

“C……Is it true? It’s finally up! Not one, not two, but three! Waaaaa!”

I couldn’t help but scream for joy.

From the time I entered the academy until now, my grade F.

It is the first time the rating has risen in eight years. That’s three steps.

That’s why I couldn’t help but be happy to see the numbers below average.

“Emme, this is real! Gurah it’s not! It’s not that I manipulated numbers or anything like that just to make me feel better, right!”
“That’s right. It’s real.”
“Fuck sex!”

I was so excited that I spat out vulgar curse words, hurrahed for a while, and ran around, then I picked up Emme, who had a hearty smile on her lips, and gave her a kiss after turning round and round, and finally calmed down a bit. .

“Hee, hee, hee, hee ♡”

After receiving a kiss, I gently seated Emme, who was droopy after all, on the chair next to me, and I checked the measurement results on the tablet again.
The complex numbers measured over a long period of time and the unchanging C grade were proving that it was not a lie that I had become stronger.

“Wow… I am. I’m a C-Class Awakener? An Awakener with power comparable to that of a C-Class Awakener?! Zenjaaaaa!

Of course, I calmed down a bit, but the uplifted mood didn’t completely subside, so if you’re seeing this for the first time, I’d be surprised and ask, ‘Who is that guy? Did I drink some medicine?’ He expressed his joy while maintaining tension.

Then, suddenly, when the tension went up to the maximum, there was no time to enter my head, so a question that I hadn’t been able to think of crossed my mind.

“…But why did you suddenly become stronger?”

It wasn’t that he overcame the danger of death, he didn’t drink the legendary elixir, he didn’t absorb mana from the dungeon’s core, and he didn’t break the wall after gaining enlightenment while training.

Lately, I haven’t done anything else and just had sex, but it’s strange to become stronger just by having sex.

After seeing the results of the strengthening, the question of what caused the strengthening was resolved by Emme, who managed to get rid of the afterglow of the kiss.

“Whoa, whoa, that, maybe I can explain that.”

If it’s what Emme says, everything fits except when they’re making a mess.

That’s why Aimee’s words had a high reliability of about 95% correct answer rate, and I pricked up her ears like a student concentrating on class and asked Eme for an answer.

“Explain it to me please! Why did you become stronger?”
“Hmm… First of all, nothing has been clarified, so what I’m saying from now on is just my prediction. Please keep in mind that I could be wrong.”

Aimé was a scientist, so he used the word ‘expectation’ mixed with the expression ‘I’m not sure’ unless there is solid material evidence.

But since it usually fits anyway, I decided to fully believe it, not caring whether Emma said it was an expectation or to insure it could be wrong.

“I’m not really worried. It will be right anyway.”

At my unshakable faith, Aimee let out a chuckle and then began the story with a smile on her face, revealing at least some of the pressure of being a scientist to explain unproven predictions as if they were true.

“Yes, I think the discharge in the rabbit hole that the rabbit went through this time resulted in sudden growth.”

Discharge down the rabbit hole resulted in my growth? Why? I can no longer use the ability I had, but is it common sense that it is strengthened rather than weakened?

My brain wasn’t as brilliant as Aimee’s to understand after listening to Aimee’s fragmentary explanations.

“Why? What does that have to do with the rabbit hole?”

So, when I asked her question while tilting her head, Aimee, as if I was cute, made the smile on her lips even thicker and started to explain in detail while stroking my head.

“Keep in mind that this may not be the case as this is just my prediction and nothing has been confirmed yet.”
“Yes Yes.”
“Rabbit, did I mention that discharge in the rabbit hole is the first time you experience it?”

This wasn’t the first time the rabbit hole had been discharged.

When she was a child, when she was a test subject in the laboratory with Meina, right after she caused a runaway down the rabbit hole, she felt a feeling similar to the sensation she felt when she was discharged this time.

But if I told her that I had been like that before, I’m sure Aimee would ask, ‘Why did you do that?’

I nodded my head at first because it would be too cumbersome and would take a long time.

“Yes, this will be the first time… Maybe?”

He didn’t lie to Aimee because he blurted out his words.

Aimee raised her eyebrows for a moment at my awkward tone, but she refused to do so and she passed it over and continued to explain.

“This is my guess, but maybe the rabbit hole is preventing the rabbit from growing. To be precise, the enormous energy of the rabbit hole is stopping it from growing.”
“Yes? The rabbit hole stopping me from growing? What is that… I’m down the rabbit hole, but you’re saying that my ability actually prevents me from becoming stronger?”

Even after hearing Aimee’s explanation, I was so dumbfounded that she repeated what she had put in her mouth.

But Aime didn’t repeat a single word she had said and answered my question with a tone that was far too confident for someone who said that this was just an estimate.

“Yes, the rabbit hole is a force that no one can stop or resist, that arbitrarily ignores all the laws of physics in the world. So, it’s only natural that it affects the user who handles that ability. The reason rabbits endured hard training almost every day and couldn’t get stronger even when they took effective elixirs can also be explained by the rabbit hole.”
“What is that…”
“Oh, wait a minute, rabbit. I am suddenly thirsty.”

After saying this, Aime snapped her fingers.

Then, a small cuboid pillar rose from the floor, and a mug full of coffee appeared from the pillar with a giggling sound.

Eme, who quenched her thirst by drinking coffee from a mug, added an easy explanation for me, who was still having a hard time understanding.

“To explain it in a way that the rabbit can easily understand… The rabbit hole is an unchanging force that goes towards its goal, undeterred by whatever gets in its way, no matter what gets in the way. It is an immutable force that completely transcends the laws of physics that govern the world and is above the laws.”
“Unchanging… Power. But what does that have to do with the fact that I didn’t grow up because of the effect the rabbit hole had on me?”
“It doesn’t matter. Because the immutability of the rabbit hole would have been carried over to you, the rabbit who is the user of the rabbit hole.”
“I beg your pardon?”

The nature of the rabbit hole that never changes and fixes itself as it is affects me, and because of that, no matter how many times I train and drink elixirs, I can’t get stronger?

“Well, even if immutable, it’s not that you’ve become a perfect immutable human being, but it’s probably… A rabbit that fixes you as a human being, right? So at the human level, I was able to build my body and become stronger through training. The rabbit’s sculpture-like body also couldn’t go beyond human limits, so it must have stopped in the most beautiful state without hypertrophic muscles.”

The more I listened to Eme, the more I felt that my eyes were getting farther and farther away.

The reason I was able to prove my worth in the Awoken world was because of nothing else but a rabbit hole.

Because of the rabbit hole, even though he had the ability of an F-class Awakener, he was able to take the position of a search leader who was treated on the same level as a team leader, and thanks to that, he was able to survive without feeling pessimistic about his inability to become stronger and commit suicide.

But the reason why I couldn’t get stronger until now was because of Pastor’s only value as an Awakener, the rabbit hole.

Hearing that fact, there was no way my mentality wouldn’t be shaken.

“······So you’re saying that in the end I have to give up the rabbit hole to become strong?”

To sum up what Aime said, the reason I was able to become stronger was because the rabbit hole had been discharged for the past few days, and the rabbit hole’s immutability had not been applied.

Yes, I was able to become strong because there was no rabbit hole. But without the rabbit hole, I’m just an ordinary Awoken 1 with no special abilities.

But if there is no rabbit hole, it can grow.

Will you remain the only ordinary person in the world with unique abilities? Or will you change into an ordinary Awakener who has nothing special, just like other Awoken, but can become stronger depending on how much effort you put in?

For the first time in my life, I feel like I am at a crossroads in my life.

I was crumpling my face between my brows in the feeling of making people into a state of confusion, when I heard a mysterious voice in front of me.

“Yes? No? If you just want to be strong, you can drain the rabbit hole and train? There is no reason to give it up.”
“Yes?”
“You can have sex with a woman, get a cervical tattoo, practice it, and get it back. To put it simply… The more you have sex, the stronger you get? Strictly speaking, getting stronger is thanks to training, so having sex doesn’t make you stronger.”

Eh??
