Episode 56. Conscience (2)

“Ugh. H-Hoyeon-ssi…?”

Filthy lust surges through my body.

I wanted to fill my empty chest with the warmth of a woman’s body.

I pulled Lumi’s soft body close and moved the tongue inside my mouth.

“Ugh, ooh… jjup….”

Lumi was flustered at first, but slowly began to match my breathing.

I moved my tongue, matching the forceful, instinctive kiss.

“Jjyubeup… Haa, haa. Hoyeon-ssi… Wh-why are you acting like this today?”

Anyone who saw this might think I’m a weirdo.

You might not understand why I’m forcing myself on Lumi right after hurting Lucy, but to me, this was important.

No matter what, Lumi has to accept me.

That’s the ‘role’ given to Lumi, the passive concept heroine.

Lumi, acting as the heroine, never defies the protagonist.

Lumi is supposed to spread if the protagonist tells her to spread, and suck if he tells her to suck.

I… wanted Lumi, who looks exactly like Lucy, to be the heroine.

If she were a character, not an intelligent being, who could do as I say and die if I told her to.

Then maybe the guilt I felt towards Lucy would lessen, even just a little.

I wanted to think of Lucy as a game character with programmed behavior patterns.

“Lumi, I’m sorry. But I can’t hold back.”

“H-Hoyeon-ssi. At least after class… Euhit….”

I unbuttoned Lumi’s cadet uniform shirt and fondled her breasts over her thin t-shirt.

Her soft breasts, too large to be held in one hand, seemed to calm me slightly.

“Let’s finish quickly. Just take off your panties.”

“Y-yes….”

As I kissed Lumi’s lips and fondled her breasts, her eyes glazed over as she hiked her skirt up to her waist and pulled down her panties.

“Yeah, now lift one leg onto the toilet seat.”

“Heeung… Nehhet….”

Her posing with one leg on the toilet seat, her skirt still on, exposing her pussy, was incredibly erotic.

Jjigeokjjigeok

I brought my finger to Lumi’s pussy. As I slowly touched her labia, Lumi quickly became wet.

“Haaak… Haoot… Heu. Aang…!”

I moved my hand up slightly and rubbed her clitoris between my thumb and index finger.

There wasn’t much time, so I had to make her wet quickly for penetration.

“Ah, ahh… Heup. J-just a moment… I-it’s too sensitive… Euit.”

“Hold on. I’ll finish soon.”

I deliberately spoke to Lumi in a cold tone.

“Heeuit… Ho, Hoyeon-ssiiii…!”

Jjigeokjjigeokjjik

While I used my finger to loosen Lumi’s pussy hole, I also dropped my pants and prepared for penetration.

“Heeeuu… H-Hoyeon-ssi, you’re acting strange right now… Ugh… Eugh!”

I shut up the complaining Lumi by smashing my lips against hers and brought my glans to her pussy.

And as soon as the hole caught my glans, I thrust my cock inside.

Even though she wasn’t a virgin, the tight, pleasant pressure wrapped around my cock.

Lumi’s pussy seemed slightly surprised. The vaginal muscles squeezed and stimulated my member.

“Ugh! Jjup… Kkeueup! Puha, haaah… S-slow down a little… Heeeeuuu!.”

Puk puk

I couldn’t thrust loudly because of Lumi’s school skirt, but I quickly moved my hips with one leg on my shoulder.

“Ah, haang… G-good…. Heuit! Aang!”

The sense of taboo from having sex with a fellow student in the school bathroom and the moans further excited my cock, bringing on the urge to cum quickly.

It was natural, since I intended to finish quickly from the start.

“Lumi, I’m gonna cum.”

“Neheh, nehet…!”

Without holding back the urge, I ejaculated into Lumi’s pussy.

Lumi didn’t seem to have reached her climax yet.

For a moment, we panted, our lower bodies still joined.

“Hoyeon-ssi….”

Just then, Lumi took my face in her hands and brought it to her breasts.

The warm scent of her skin tickled my nose, and the soft sensation enveloped both my cheeks.

“If… if you’re having a hard time, please tell me anytime. I’ll be there with you. Or you can use me like this, too. Though, I’d prefer if next time was a bit more relaxed….”

Lumi whispered softly while stroking my head.

Her voice held a vitality and emotion that couldn’t come from a character with programmed personality traits, and hearing her words, I finally grasped the reality.

This place is real, and I’m involved with living people.

“Lumi… I’m sorry. I-I didn’t mean for this to happen….”

My eyes trembled noticeably, even to myself.

“It’s okay.”

Kkuuk

Lumi tightened her grip, hugging me.

“B-but next time… you have to satisfy me too. That’s only fair for friends, right?”

Her cute protest made my cock start to get hard again.

“Wait, just a moment, Hoyeon-ssi. Class is starting soon. We really can’t anymore. Okay?”

“I’ll finish quickly.”

I aimed my glans at Lumi’s hole.

“No, you said that before… Ahup…!”

Kkigik-

As the back door slowly opened, the eyes of the students in class turned towards us.

“You’re late. Cadet Lee Hoyeon and Cadet Lumi.”

The old female professor’s cold gaze fixed on me.

“…S-sorry.”

“It hasn’t even been five minutes, and you ran hard enough to sweat, so I’ll let it slide this time. Go to your seats.”

“…Thank you.”

Thanks to the professor’s convenient misunderstanding, we thankfully entered class without losing points.

It was fortunate we made it before class properly began.

Kkuuk-

“Ouch.”

Lumi, sitting next to me, pinched my hand under the desk.

Then she started scribbling something in her notebook.

[I told you just once!!! ㅜ o ㅜ]

[Sorry…]

This is my fault for getting excited and asking for more.

I need to reflect on this.

Still, Lumi helped relieve some of my mental stress. I’ll have to take care of Lucy somehow.

“Alright, focus now. Starting today, we’ll be covering Barrier Release and Magic Inversion.”

The professor tapped and manipulated the hologram.

Chwaryureuk-

Soon, holographic magic circles appeared on each desk.

“First, you’ll learn to invert the magic circle you see before you.”

As she spoke, a magic circle materialized before the professor’s eyes.

“Whether it’s a magic circle or a barrier, the basic principle is to reverse the process of the caster drawing it, erasing it.”

It feels like retracting mana, the opposite of how you construct a magic circle.

Since you’re not inverting your own magic circle but must follow the exact path of the opponent’s, complex calculations and procedures are necessary.

And the cadet who shows the most talent in this inversion is…

“Now, Cadet Alice? Would you come out and demonstrate?”

It was Alice.

True to her talent as a Sword Mage, she possessed immense talent in both magic and swordsmanship, particularly recognized as a genius in barrier release and inversion magic.

Later, she becomes a monster who casts magic from afar, fights up close with her sword, and inverts incoming spells.

In the first place, inversion magic itself was so difficult and advanced that few active mages had truly mastered it.

Therefore, Alice, who handled inversion with ease, was regarded as the world’s top prodigy.

“Please invert the magic circle I manifest.”

“Yes.”

Alice observed the magic circle for a moment, then emitted mana from her fingertips.

Uung-

The slowly rising mana rapidly erased the magic circle, and within seconds, it vanished.

“As expected of Cadet Alice. This speed is usable in actual combat.”

Clap, clap, clap.

The professor applauded and sent Alice back to her seat.

“Now, let’s learn how to find the starting and ending points of a magic circle while looking at the one drawn on the hologram.”

And so, the tedious theory lesson began.

*

“Alright, now pair up and practice inversion on each other to find any issues?”

The boring class ended, and finally, it was time to practice face-to-face with Lumi.

We naturally turned our chairs to face each other and began the practice.

“Okay, I’ll create one first…. Yap.”

Lumi created a flawed magic circle, one incapable of manifesting magic.

The crooked, folded, and mixed magic circle thoroughly concealed its start and end points.

“Lumi. Isn’t this technically not a magic circle?”

“B-but, if I did it normally against you, Hoyeon-ssi, it’s obvious you’d invert it immediately.”

That’s true. Honestly, if I put my mind to it, I’m confident I could invert it faster than even the genius Alice.

As I learned ‘Rune Clan Secretary’, my understanding of barriers improved, making me better at inversion, a similar field.

“Still, this should be quite difficult, right? Hehe.”

Lumi unfurled the magic circle, looking at me with a confident expression.

It certainly doesn’t look easy. It’s a magic circle made not for casting magic, but for blocking inversion.

But it wasn’t difficult.

“What will you give me if I solve this within 30 seconds?”

“Hmm, well… after class, I’ll give you a reward in the club room.”

Her uttering such a cheeky remark while glancing down was certainly different from the original Lumi, who was always so passive.

“Then, if I lose, I’ll give you a reward too. Deal?”

Lumi’s face turned red as she lowered her head.

“Y-yes. Deal.”

Lumi’s shy but agreeable response was incredibly cute.

It felt like I was finally enjoying the school life I missed out on as a kid, and my heart swelled with emotion.

And of course, I solved Lumi’s magic circle in 20 seconds.

“H-how….”

“See you in the club room later.”

I whispered into Lumi’s ear as she clutched her head.

“Y-yes, nehet….”

Lumi looked incredibly happy, even though she lost.

*

After playing a secret game with Lumi in the club room, I returned to the dorm.

“I’m back~.”

“Yeah, you’re back.”

Liliana was lying in the living room, scratching her belly and watching the hologram monitor.

Today was the award ceremony, so many people were expected, and I left Liliana at the dorm just in case any accidents happened.

“What are you doing in the living room?”

“I’m checking the sales points of my NewTube competitors. I want to grow my broadcast.”

“Oh, uh. Right. Good luck.”

Liliana was seriously analyzing a female streamer doing a sexy dance.

Honestly, I don’t know much about broadcasting. I just know Liliana makes good money.

If she works that hard, she’ll probably succeed at something.

Speaking of which, rumors about a perverted cosplayer among the cadets seem to be increasing lately.

I’m worried the Academy might launch an investigation for maintaining decorum. Surely they wouldn’t, right?

It’s safe since it’s the male dorm, but you never know.

I took off the clothes I wore today by the door and went into the shower room.

Under the warm water, I thought about tomorrow’s plan.

Tomorrow is finally the dungeon practice training.

And the dungeon goes berserk due to a terrorist attack.

It was indiscriminate terrorism inflicted upon the Academy by the demon group Pandemic.

According to the story, the protagonist gets involved and entangled with a heroine… The heroine I’m targeting this time is Baek Ahyoung.

As the dungeon goes berserk, the terrain changes forcefully. If I stick close to Baek Ahyoung when the precursors appear, we can get isolated together.

That’s when I can make my move.

This isn’t easy, though. She doesn’t just like it if I force myself on her.

There are various conditions… I wonder if I can meet them.

After washing up while lost in thought, I dried myself with a towel, shook my hair, and checked my smartwatch.

“Ah, right. Yeji-yomi? I need to reply to this person.”

After thinking hard, there was no reason not to accept a free sponsorship.

I’ll check the conditions; if they’re useful, I can use them as a contact later, or just discard them.

[Me: Hello. This is Lee Hoyeon. Here’s my contact number for easy communication. 010-xxxx-xx…]

“Hmm, good, good.”

I threw the clothes I’d taken off earlier into the washing machine and pressed start.

“Wait, where are my panties?”

I took them off last, so they should be on top, but thinking back to when I grabbed the clothes for the wash, I didn’t see them.

That’s strange. They seemed to be on top of the pile before I showered.

“….”

I glanced into the living room; Liliana, who had been lying down watching the hologram monitor, was gone, and only a firmly closed door greeted me.

“No way. Surely not. What would she do stealing my underwear?”

Could it be that because I didn’t take her out for the award ceremony today, her lust suddenly built up…?

“Did she take my panties because of that?”

No matter how I think about it, that seems unlikely.

She probably just went in to play games. Stop overthinking.

Even if she’s a perverted bitch, she wouldn’t take my dirty, sweaty underwear.

My panties are probably just getting washed with the other clothes.

I put aside the pointless worry and lay down on the bed in the living room, starting to plan for tomorrow.
