Within the Mohican tribe there were multiple clans, and disputes between them were usually settled through one-on-one duels rather than full-scale clan wars unless absolutely necessary.
The Tessadar was the strongest warrior and combat commander in charge of those duels.
Normally the chieftain and Tessadar roles were separate, but the Gaia Tribe had combined them for a long time due to the lack of standout warriors.
As the chieftain aged, there had been talk of recruiting externally when I left for the academy.
Athena, who had opposed it so fiercely, had apparently taken the position herself.
‘At this rate, I cannot help but check her status window.
Transcendent’s Eye!’
I had planned to chat leisurely and use the skill only after arriving at the village, but my curiosity was too strong now that Athena had become strong enough to be Tessadar.
Special Skills: [Mana Body Enhancement], [Mana Step], [Tyrant’s Fist]
‘Ooh… B+.
That is more than enough to be Tessadar.’
The Transcendent’s Eye immediately revealed Athena’s status window.
B+.
Same as me.
Though I hate to say it myself, graduating from the academy with a B+ is considered excellent and guarantees immediate recruitment as an executive in top combat organizations.
In other words, it was an incredibly high rank.
‘Wow… Mana Step and Tyrant’s Fist.
She has perfectly compensated for her relatively lacking Power and Durability with skills.’
Looking only at base stats, she was still below me even at the same B+.
However, Athena’s true achievement over the past three years lay in her special skills.
Mana Step—a skill that allowed one to step freely across terrain and physical laws to a certain degree.
At high proficiency, it enabled powerful jumps and even running across water for about two hundred meters.
It was generally considered a high-grade skill often included in secret manuals as part of a package.
From the next special skill, I could tell where Athena had learned Mana Step.
‘Tyrant’s Fist.
The chieftain once said he would not teach it until someone reached their mid-twenties, yet he passed it on after all.’
In this world of Pieta, secret manuals were contents passed down through generations in prestigious noble families.
While barbarian tribes did not traditionally emphasize secret manuals, the Barbara clan—the main bloodline of the Gaia Tribe, which had named itself after Gaia, one of the ancient gods—possessed enough prestige for the secret manual Tyrant’s Fist to have been inherited.
Athena had become the latest successor of the Barbara clan’s Tyrant’s Fist.
‘No wonder she brought a mask and was so eager to show off to me.’
My attention then moved past the combat ability section of Athena’s status window.

Affection: ???
Fetish: ???

‘Of course.
This is exactly what an R-19 mode status window looks like.’
It was Athena’s profile—completely exposed.
All of her personal information had been quantified and revealed to me.
‘Recognizing it in numbers makes it even more impressive.
Even with such an enormous size, it is incredibly firm, just like a true barbarian.’
Athena continued excitedly talking about her accomplishments while I compared her breasts, waist, and hips—her three sizes—with their actual visual appearance, enjoying the view.
‘Favorability 95.
According to the Heavenly Insight, it is extremely high, but it feels more like the friendship of close friends rather than romantic affection.
And this is toward someone like me, a sculpture-like handsome man radiating such strong seductive pheromones.’
Despite possessing such an explosive body, Athena was still an innocent girl who knew nothing about sex, beyond being a virgin.
At twenty-three years old and in the prime of her youth, she had apparently spent the past three years doing nothing but training like mad.
‘But what can you do?
As long as she is a barbarian, her libido is bound to be vigorous.
Her curiosity must be immense.
She is just channeling it elsewhere for now.’
Fetishes and erogenous zones probably would not unlock until certain lines were crossed.
I was quite curious what kind of fetishes that dangerous body might have.
Since my own barbarian instincts were stirring, an aggressive analysis toward Athena had already begun.
“Hey, what are you doing?
Are you listening?
Why are you not answering?”
I must have been too absorbed.
Without replying, I had been staring at Athena for a long while.
She, who had been chattering enthusiastically, frowned in her characteristic way and looked up at me.
“I just realized you really came back.
Seeing not only the beautiful scenery but also you treating me the same as before…”
The Casanova trait was not simply about being good in bed and receiving buffs from it.
The old Geum Taeyang, who had lived a wasted life as a Korean citizen for thirty years without ever properly flirting, now delivered shameless pickup lines while staring straight at the face of an ultimate beauty he had never even seen in real life on Earth.
“W-what kind of nonsense is that!
Of course I am the same as before!
You might have been tainted by strange things in the civilized world, but I am not!”
The tomboyish Athena reacted with flustered yet positive embarrassment.
The habit of dragging out her words when embarrassed but not displeased was showing.
“Ugh, it is hot!
Why is it so hot?
Is it because we ran a bit?
It is not even summer yet!”
Flap!
Flap!
Flap!
Perhaps because the lingering embarrassment lasted quite a while, Athena turned her flushed face away from me and fanned herself with her hand.
“Hey!
Geum Taeyang!”
Indeed, a barbarian tomboy was on a completely different level from ordinary human tomboys.
After making a fuss about the heat, Athena suddenly said, “Let us go bathe in Cargo Lake together.”
Without any preamble, she began stripping her clothes off to bathe in the lake together.
“What are you doing?
Why are you not taking them off yet?
You know I cannot stand the heat!”
Completely naked from head to toe, Athena stood bare before me.
