Chapter 70: The Meat Shield Elf and the Sadistic Master’s Thesis Verification

This is a story from a day before Tripol fell into chaos.

Tei was engrossed in his class as usual, but unlike other days, today was focused on practical application.

“Corner him!”

“Don’t go easy on him just because he’s a professor!”

“Our opponent is Professor Tei!”

“Don’t let your guard down! Once we have him pinned, fire all at once!”

As Tei fled, his sweat-soaked blonde hair swaying, the students chased after him. The practical lesson, taking place in the center of the sun-drenched training grounds, was a mock battle where the students ganged up on Tei, a former member of the Hero’s party. It seemed Tei wasn’t allowed to attack, as the students were desperately trying to defeat him within the time limit. Despite being nobles, they were sweating profusely as they formed their ranks.

They’ve all reached high levels, likely from growing up in such a good environment. I’m ashamed of myself for thinking they were just a bunch of spoiled brats. Perhaps it’s only natural for the future leaders of the nation to be this capable…

He remained calm even as at least twenty of them rushed him at once. His usual naivete was nowhere to be seen; once his combat switch was flipped, his field of vision widened, and he dodged the occasional magic spell with minimal movement.

“Don’t bother with scattered attacks! They won’t hit him at our level!”

“Attack with an area, not a line!”

“Don’t aim for Professor Tei, shoot the ground! Obscure his vision!”

Their judgment was excellent.

There was no doubt the child of a knight was among them.

“O great fire! Incinerate my foe!—Flame Prison!”

“O great fire!”

“O great fire!”

“O great—”

They’re all incredible… I don’t think I can dodge this.

Before he knew it, he was trapped in the center of the training grounds. It was just as they’d planned, attacking with an area instead of a line; he had clearly been lured in. The students skillfully formed an encirclement around the entrapped Tei. As they thrust their palms forward to cast their spells, Tei placed a hand on the ground and deployed a wall of light before him.

“I have my own reputation to uphold! I won’t go down so easily just because you’re students!”

Th-th-th-th-th-th-th!!!!

“Professor Tei is on the defensive!”

“Whoa, a Wall of Light—!!”

“That teacher does some sinister things, contrary to his appearance!!!”

“Is this any time to be impressed?!”

With his innocent-looking face, he nonchalantly summoned a massive Wall of Light, large enough to split the entire training ground in two. The sheer scale of it was hard to believe for a single person. The students on the other side of the wall were stunned by the large-scale holy magic he had cast without any grand gestures, but the student in command remained composed.

“But his flank is open! With his back to the wall, he’s still trapped! Don’t panic, just fire!”

“This time, we’ll get our first win! Professor Hero!”

Large fireballs flew slowly toward Tei, whose back was exposed as he maintained the wall. They were slow, but the spheres of flame were exceptionally lethal. The students showed no restraint. Despite his youthful appearance and kind smile, their opponent was one of the heroes who had hunted the Demon King, so their judgment was, in fact, correct.

I suppose I have no choice. It would please her to be of use to me, anyway.

Keeping one hand on the ground to maintain the Wall of Light, he clenched his other fist and aimed it at the fireballs.

“Come forth! My contracted familiar! Use your entire body to protect me!”

“A familiar?!”

“Professor Tei! You had a familiar?!”

“B-but with this much firepower?!”

In response, just before the fireballs could reach Tei’s body, a woman burst out of a magic circle that appeared in mid-air.

“Huh?! Eh? Tei? What is this?!—Hugihiiiiiik?!!”

“An elf?!”

“It’s Professor Tei’s lover!!!”

“The one from the rumors?!”

“Wait, at this rate, she’s going to take a direct hit!”

It was Lina, the perverted elf, proud of her leaf bikini on her voluptuous 150cm frame with colossal breasts. Not only was she suddenly summoned, but fireballs were flying right at her. Her mouth fell open in shock, but she quickly assessed the situation, spread her arms wide, and stood in front of Tei. It was the students, of course, who were shocked, never imagining he would use a person as a meat shield.

“Hey, she’ll die if that hits her!”

“Get out of the way!”

Shake shake!

“No! Don’t you dare touch Tei!”

The students screamed, but Lina took the full force of the flames with her body.

──FWOOOOOO-SH!!!!!!

“Hgyahaaaaaahng♡♡♡♡♡♡ Mgyat♡ Mgyahaaaaa♡ Kiiiihihihihihihi♡♡♡ Gugyat♡ Ugya♡ So hoooooot♡♡♡♡♡ Gupoheeeeee-et♡♡♡♡♡♡”

It was a cruel act.

Taking lethal fire magic head-on, she was naturally set ablaze. Her prized leaf bikini and blonde hair vanished in an instant, and flames even erupted from her eyes. At this rate, she would surely perish in less than ten seconds. In response, Tei threw a green orb with the same hand he had used to summon Lina and shouted.

“Healing! Healing! Healing!”

“Hgit♡ Ho♡ Haaaaaa♡ Uguhuuu-aaaaaahng♡♡♡ Hohat♡ Hak♡ Hauha-ha-haaaaaak♡♡♡ Muhoheeeeee-et♡♡♡♡”

Ping~♡ Ping~♡ Ping~♡

With a cheerful sound like bouncing coins, her burning body was restored. Her shriveled, dehydrated eyeballs returned to normal, the flames clinging to her body vanished, and her incinerated hair grew back. Even as more fireballs flew in—Bang bang bang♡ Bang bang bang♡—to burn Lina’s body, she didn’t flee from her post in front of Tei. She maintained her pose with arms spread wide, thrusting her colossal 150cm breasts forward, taking both the flames and the healing at once.

FWOOOOOO-R!!!!!! FWOOOOOO-K!!!!!!

“Hgyahoooo♡ Hgyat♡ Hgya-ha-gagagagagaga♡ So hot♡ Huk♡ Hiiiiiik♡ So cold♡ Uuuuuuu-k♡ Puhek♡ Peh♡ Epehek♡ Hot♡ and cooooold♡ Ghyak♡ Ugh♡ Uhi-gi-hiiiiii-k♡ Phat♡ Pha♡ Phaaaaaa-k♡♡♡”

Bang~! Ba-ba-bang~! Bang!!

FWOOOOOO-R!!! FWOOOOOO-T!!!!

“Kkuhk♡ Ugh♡ Uhuuuuuu-k♡ My nipples♡ and my pussy♡ Ugyat♡ they’re buuuurniiiiiing~♡ Teiiiiiit♡ A stronger heaaaaal~♡ Huhet♡ Huhek♡ Huuuuuu-k~♡ I’m really going to burn up at this rate♡ Ugh♡ Hiaaaaaak~♡”

“Great Healing!”

Pibibing~♡

“Hugihiiiiii-ah-ha-haaaaaa~♡ Hua-ha-haaaaaa~♡ Pha♡ Pha♡ Phya-ha-haaaaaa~♡”

Bbu-bu-bu-bu♡ Bbu-bu-but♡

Her golden pubic hair, which had been burned away by the students’ attack, grew back thick and full. Her nipples and pussy, which had seemed on the verge of being charred black, returned to their pink hue, and the parts of her that were bright red or melted into a mess turned milky white, returning to their original skin tone. Despite the students’ unified barrage of fire magic, they couldn’t break through the combination of Lina’s physical defense and Tei’s healing.

“Pgya-haaa~♡ Hgyat~♡ Hgya-haaa~♡ I-I thought I was going to die♡ Hgya♡ Hgyat♡ Uhuuuuuu-k♡ Ugyat~♡”

“S-seriously…?”

“That elf withstood it with her bare body…”

“Hugu♡ Haga♡ Hagu-haaa♡ Hu-puh-hua~♡”

When the first wave of attacks finally ended, black smoke puffed from Lina’s lips♡, as if she had just taken a drag from a cigarette. Though her body was healed, the smoke that had seeped inside seemed to be causing her distress. As soon as her role as a meat shield was over, she collapsed to the ground. Tei used the opening she had created to slam his hand on the ground again.

“Great Wall!”

Thud!

A giant Wall of Light finally appeared on the opposite side as well. However, unlike when he used it for defense, this massive wall began to topple forward, crashing down on the students who had formed their ranks. From the students’ perspective, it must have looked like a giant domino falling toward them.

“Another wall!”

“Whoa?! It’s really falling!”

“Dammit~! Not again~!”

“I even calculated the cooldown time this time~!”

“A familiar is cheatiiiing~!”

With those last words, CRASH! The students were swept away by the collapsing Wall of Light and knocked out. Not expecting to be pushed this far, Tei wiped away his sweat and stood up. Lina, on the other hand, remained sprawled on the ground, naked with her legs spread open, still puffing out smoke. It seemed this level of indecency no longer fazed her, as she made no move to cover her half-burnt pubic hair.

“Puheeeee♡ Put♡ Heh♡ I-I can’t believe♡ you’d use your Mama as a meat shield~♡ Puhu♡ Hupuhu♡ I was♡ hunting in the forest♡ and suddenly got dragged here♡ Puhe♡ I was so surprised♡ Huhe♡ Huheuuuu~♡ A-anyway♡ are you hurt anywhere~♡ The students♡ didn’t do anything awful to you♡ Pha♡ did they~♡”

“I’m fine, thanks to you, Mama.”

“That’s a relief♡ Huha♡ Hha♡ U-uuungh♡ Uha~♡”

Anyone could see she was the one who was seriously injured, yet in that state, her first concern was for Tei. The fact that he had summoned her and used her as a meat shield as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and her reaction to it, caused the cloying scent of their love to spread all around them. The students who had regained consciousness looked on with bewildered eyes, but none of them had the courage to comment on the exchange. Instead, an old professor who had been watching the class from a distance walked over and joined their conversation.

“Professor Tei?”

“Ah, Dean. Were you watching? My apologies… I got a bit too heated with the students and inadvertently…”

“Not at all. It was splendid. Though they are students, they are all adults and already accomplished individuals in their own right. That’s why they sometimes underestimate you, Professor Tei. To think you would handle a slave so violently to finish the job… It just goes to show that a person’s true measure is their skill, not their appearance. You’ve shown them a fine example of how to survive on the battlefield.”

“Thank you for the compliment, but… w-well, she’s my lover.”

“…Your lover?”

“Puheuu… eh… that’s right… The two of us… are officially dating… huahu… uhu…”

Her pussy twitched♡ and pulsed♡ as she smiled grotesquely, looking like a frog in front of everyone. She was a beautiful, yet utterly shameless elf. If it hadn’t come from Tei’s own mouth, the Dean would never have believed it. As it was, the Dean, along with the students, looked completely baffled.

“Then is this woman the subject of your thesis, Lady Lina? To think you would use your lover as a meat shield… I did not expect that…”

“With her defensive capabilities, I knew she wouldn’t be killed instantly by the students’ magic. From my perspective, it was a rational decision.”

“I-is that so… No, well, if that’s the case, I suppose it wasn’t the wrong choice. You are a professor with a wealth of practical experience, Professor Tei. It is not my place to reprimand you.”

Though he was thinking otherwise, he knew that people’s proclivities were varied. The same was true for the forms love could take. Seeing Lina lying on the ground, breathing happily as she gazed up at Tei, he refrained from saying anything that would get him into trouble.

“But what brings you all the way out here, Dean? It’s the first time you’ve approached me during a class, so I’m a bit taken aback.”

“Ah, yes… about that…”

Answering Tei’s question, he produced a letter from his coat. It was a lavish envelope stamped with the royal family’s crest. It was clearly not something to be opened carelessly, and thankfully, the seal was intact.

“What’s this?”

“It is the reply to the thesis you submitted to the royal family, the one analyzing the libido of old elves.”

“Come to think of it, the reply was due today…”

“A messenger from the royal family came and said that inside the letter is a recommendation written by the King of Libra himself, along with a small sum of funds. I apologize for the short notice, but you are to head to the commercial city starting today, purchase an elf slave there, and proceed with additional verification. It seems they believe that a single test subject is not enough to prove that an elf’s libido strengthens with age.”

“I see… that makes sense. But I never expected the state to provide support. I thought that even if this thesis were proven, at most it would just lead to elven criminal slaves being demoted to sex slaves. Or could it be they’re planning a war against the elves? If my thesis is correct, it would mean that magic related to libido would be highly effective against old elves.”

“Elves are masters of magic. Simply identifying one of their weaknesses is a gain for the kingdom, so your thesis is quite valuable, Professor Tei. As for your classes, we will invite a new professor to take over, so please follow the royal family’s orders and focus on your verification work.”

“I’m causing you so much trouble.”

“Trouble for one who serves the nation? Not at all. Think of it as a vacation and take your time.”

The rumors about Lina were a bit of a nuisance, but he finished the conversation without reprimanding him again.

“…Did you hear that, Mama Lina?”

“Yes… finally… Mufufu… we’ll finally be able to find out for sure if elves are a perverted race~♡”

“Looking at you, Mama, the answer seems pretty obvious, doesn’t it?”

“You’re so mean~♡ But I won’t deny it~♡ I’m sure all old elves are perverts, so let’s go with a light heart♡”

“Ahaha… really, I told you it’s not a vacation.”

“Ufufu~♡”

Even when told they were going to buy a slave of her own kind to experiment on, she replied with a joyful laugh. The perverted elf Lina was too far gone to ever turn back. She had developed the strange conviction that any elf as old as her was a pervert, and Tei, maintaining his own twisted belief that most women were sows, decided the two of them would happily head to the commercial city together.

A shady city where slavery was legal.

The day was not far off when these two perverts would be reunited with those masochists.
