Chapter 32

The Heroine of the 1st Playthrough Remembers My Training.

Episode 32: Until She Breaks Down 000 (5).

「Wind – Blade」 「Earth – Spear」

The sound of singing echoed beyond the corridor windows.

This was due to a mock combat test being held in place of the canceled midterm exam.

After a major incident disrupted the midterm, this test was organized with student safety as the top priority, conducted one class at a time. Currently, it was Class 1’s turn.

I mentioned this because, in the event of an emergency, the nurse was summoned to the dueling arena to immediately treat any injured students.

Meaning, the nurse’s office was unattended.

“No one’s here.”

“…Indeed.”

Vivian appeared slightly unsettled by the ‘Out of Office’ sign, but for me, it was expected.

To thrive in the world of ‘Academy Trainer’, one must have a comprehensive understanding of the school’s facilities, such as the nurse’s office, the rooftop, the teachers’ restroom, and the old school building, especially their availability for ‘private lessons.’

“Let’s go in and rest.”

“B-but there’s no one…”

“It’s fine. We can just say we were resting because we felt ill.”

Disregarding the sign, we entered the nurse’s office, immediately greeted by the aroma of various herbs.

I guided Vivian to the bed in the farthest corner, where she finally spoke.

“Yujin…”

“Yes?”

“…I’m sorry.”

Vivian’s apology came in a quiet voice, her gaze averted.

I offered her a gentle smile in response.

“There’s no need to apologize for this.”

“…It’s not just this… …I’m sorry for everything.”

I understood that Vivian’s apology extended beyond our current situation.

She didn’t need to feel so guilty simply because I had brought her to the nurse’s office.

Her apology likely encompassed her fantasizing about me as her sexual partner and the trouble caused during the midterm exam.

“Hey, it’s really okay. Don’t worry about it.”

I reassured her cheerfully, feigning ignorance, yet my tone carried a hint of understanding.

While most people might not read too much into it, in her current state, Vivian would surely overinterpret it.

“….”

Just as expected.

Look at that guilty expression.

The phrase “It’s okay to this extent” probably sounded to Vivian like “Other things are not okay.”

“Well, rest comfortably. And thanks for the pen, it works really well.”

I lightly patted her shoulder and clicked the pen, setting the vibration intensity to ‘medium-low.’

“Ah…okay…”

Confirming that Vivian was bowing her head as soon as the vibration started, I closed the door of the nurse’s office.

-Step, step, step.

Then, deliberately making loud footsteps, I left the nurse’s office.

“…This should do it…”

I created a private space and provided a sexual partner.

Vivian should now be able to masturbate satisfactorily.

…Honestly, I was shocked when she tried to masturbate in the classroom earlier.

“….”

Calming down a bit, I started feeling disillusioned again.

To prevent her from masturbating in the classroom, I allowed her to do it in the nurse’s office…

Is this world really normal?

“Sigh…”

I sighed and took out the pen, placing it near my ear.

[Ah…uh…ah…Yujin…]

Vivian’s moans came from the pen.

Hearing this made me feel a bit better.

After listening to Vivian’s masturbation for a while, I put the pen away again.

It was quite arousing, but there was something more important right now.

“Here it is.”

The place where anyone going to the nurse’s office must pass and where you can observe Class 1’s combat test.

Leaning against the corridor window, I looked down at the dueling arena.

Just in time, Lucia and the princess arrived simultaneously.

Though I couldn’t hear well due to the distance, the students were murmuring because both the Empire’s sun and moon appeared together.

I clearly remembered this event.

It’s the rare event of the princess’s defeat.

Yes, in this duel, the princess lost.

Quite easily, too.

She defended against Lucia’s intermediate magic but was unable to withstand the impact, flying backward and out of bounds.

The duel lasted about three seconds.

Of course, the princess lost on purpose, but because of this duel, the player didn’t realize the princess was hiding her true strength. Later, when they noticed her true nature, they irrationally thought they could still manage against her.

‘Thinking about it again makes me angry.’

Recalling the princess’s brutal event, anger rose in my heart.

‘…Hang in there, Lucia.’

I cheered for Lucia in my heart while watching their duel.

For Liana, Carnea Academy was merely a pastime.

A brain capable of memorizing most books with one reading, overwhelming magical affinity, and even the unique magic of the royal family…

For Liana, winning was a given, and she had no lingering attachment to such victories, so she simply conceded.

-Step-

Lucia Uruella ascended the dueling arena from the opposite stairs.

Lucia was one of the few humans who piqued Liana’s interest.

Her talent for magic was exceptional, and her radiant appearance even made Liana admire her.

But that was all.

Liana did not consider Lucia her rival.

A mere genius couldn’t possibly stop her.

However, the moment Lucia stepped into the arena this time, Liana sensed something different.

Though she had hidden it well enough until now, the emotion in Lucia’s eyes was undoubtedly murderous intent.

‘Hmm, why is that?’

Recently, inexplicable thoughts kept arising.

…Just like with Yujin, and now with Lucia.

In Liana’s world, where everything always went as predicted, this was a rare delight.

“Please take care of me.”

“Please take care of me.”

Lucia and Liana exchanged light greetings in the center of the dueling arena and took their positions.

…And then,

“Begin!”

At the signal, Lucia began chanting intermediate magic.

「Pierce – Wind – Spear」

A chanting speed and precision that clearly surpassed the student level.

The attack was so sharp that even the teacher was startled, yet it was manageable for Liana.

‘Hmm…’

According to her plan, she merely needed to defend and step back out of bounds to be eliminated.

But.

She didn’t want to.

‘An unexpected audience has appeared…’

Liana smiled, thinking of someone watching from afar by the window.

「Rise – Flame – Wall」

Before the wind spear could reach her, Liana chanted intermediate magic to defend herself.

Whoosh-!

The heat from the flames filled the dueling arena.

“Wait..!”

Before Professor Amy, in charge of Class 1, could stop her, Lucia chanted the next spell.

「Pierce – Wind – Spear」

「Pierce – Wind – Spear」system-end

Two spells flew simultaneously.

‘This is strange?’

Observing this, Liana tilted her head.

‘Lucia’s talent shouldn’t be this advanced.’

While the initial rapid chanting was impressive, the dual chanting just now clearly exceeded Lucia’s known talents.

No, it was a bit ambiguous to even call it talent.

Unlike the overwhelming ‘class’ of the royal family’s unique magic, it wasn’t something special that only Lucia could use.

But Lucia was using her available resources in the cleanest way possible to corner her opponent.

Like a seasoned mage with decades of combat experience.

「Strike – Water – Hammer」

「Enclose – Flame – Sphere」

Bang-! Bang-! Bang-!

The power of the magic was gradually increasing.

-Isn’t this dangerous?

-Though Lucia is the top student, can even the princess keep up with this?

Initially, the students merely watched in awe, but now they were starting to feel fear and were slowly backing away.

「Tear Apart – Storm – Wolf」

Finally, when Lucia attempted to chant advanced magic, Professor Amy, unable to endure any longer, rushed out to stop her.

[Stop it!]

At Amy’s command, Lucia’s chanting faltered, and the magic dissipated.

“Liana, Lucia. What do you think you’re doing? This is a training duel! I said from the start that safety is the priority, so why use such dangerous magic? Are you trying to kill each other?”

Professor Amy scolded, hands on her hips.

Her small frame made her appear more like an angry child than an authority figure, but Liana refrained from pointing that out.

“Anyway, both of you are having points deducted for this test! You were both so exceptional that it’s just from an A+ to an A, but still…! Don’t let this happen again, or I won’t be so lenient…! Now, apologize to each other!”

While Liana was smiling brightly, Lucia lowered her head, her expression blank.

“I apologize. I lost control and used inappropriate magic in the duel.”

“No, I got carried away too. You’re truly remarkable, Lucia.”

Liana stepped closer and took Lucia’s hand, her eyes sparkling.

“Let’s definitely talk more next time.”

…What did I just witness?

I pressed my throbbing forehead.

The outcome was entirely unexpected.

No, the result was the same.

The princess’s defeat.

Though I couldn’t hear well, it was clear she stepped out of bounds at the last moment, thus losing.

But the process was vastly different from what I knew.

The battle, which should have ended in one strike, involved high-speed chanting and the dual chanting of advanced techniques.

‘…I specifically told her to act as if it was the first playthrough.’

It’s not incomprehensible that Lucia holds animosity toward the princess.

If she had memories of the first playthrough, anyone would find the princess’s presence troubling.

But to ignore my orders and recklessly attack in front of others?

No matter how I thought about it, it was hard to accept.

‘…Ah, damn!’

While I was lost in thought, the dueling arena had already been cleared, and no one was in sight.

This meant the nurse in charge would soon return.

[Uhh…Yujin…]

Vivian was still masturbating when I held the pen to my ear.

“Get a grip!”

In an instant, I sprinted down the corridor and kicked the nurse’s office door open.

Bang-!

[…Ahhh!]

The loud noise startled Vivian, snapping her out of her daze.

[…If I get caught…must clean up quickly…]

I heard Vivian hurriedly finishing her act and tidying up the nurse’s office.

“Phew…”

I sighed in relief for a moment.

-Step-

I heard someone coming up the stairs.

“….!”

The only reason to use these stairs at the end of the corridor was to access the nurse’s office.

And the person coming up now was likely…

“Oh, Student Yujin?”

As expected, it was the nurse.

She remembered my name from being carried here during the midterm exam.

“Were you coming to the nurse’s office? Sorry, I got called for the test. Where are you feeling unwell?”

“Ah, my stomach hurts a bit…”

“Really? Come inside the nurse’s office, I’ll examine you.”

She passed by me, speaking.

‘What should I do?’

I bit my lip hard.

Vivian was just finishing cleaning up the traces of her act.

…If I went in now, she’d definitely get caught.

I needed to buy some more time.

‘How?’

Think. Think.

How to overcome this situation.

Then, a thought hit me, and I collapsed to the floor.

“Argh!”

“Oh my! What’s wrong! Are you okay?”

As the nurse approached in a panic, I grabbed her ankle.

“My stomach…hurts a bit…”

“If it’s to the point of collapsing, it’s more than just a bit! Come inside quickly!”

“No…just…just rub my stomach a bit.”

“What…?”

“….Please…just my stomach…”

“…Rub your stomach? Me? Here?”

“Yes….”

The nurse looked at me like I was crazy, but I had no choice.

I couldn’t let Vivian get caught now.

“…Like this?”

“…Yes.”

After hesitating for a moment, the nurse eventually blushed and rubbed my stomach.

…Lying on the floor and getting my stomach rubbed made me feel so self-deprecating I wanted to die.

“Hmm… Yujin, I’m doing this now, but next time, please get a proper examination.”

The nurse’s kind words made me feel even worse.

“Yes…”

Please, Vivian.

Finish cleaning up before I die of embarrassment.
