Chapter 44:

Lumis Capture

Lucys face turned as red as boiling lava.

You, you Saw everything, right? Then, perhaps?

Wait Lucy, relax! Youre still a patient, dont get up!

Tell me clearly. Did you do something weird to me or not? I cant handle this, really!

Magical energy was oozing from Lucys body. It was getting dangerous, so I quickly tried to explain.

Lucy, calm down and hear me out.

But my stomach More like, that area below my stomach

Lucy blushed and looked at me, like she wanted a proper explanation.

I reversed the estrus magic that hit you. Im no expert on womens bodies, but that feeling is probably a side effect of it.

Reversed? Youre kidding! How did you do that? Thats a highly advanced process!

Ill prove it. Were learning magic release in next weeks class. Ill show you then. Will that convince you?

Okay. But if you cant do it No, please do it Id prefer that.

Professor Im Sol was there too, remember? Nothing really happened. If youre worried, you can ask her.

Alright I get it. Ill believe you.

When I mentioned Professor Im Sol, she seemed to calm down.

Seeing her so relieved that she didnt even realize her hymen was gone Uh, am I a scumbag for finding this amusing?

If I get caught, Ill have to play innocent because it was a rescue operation. Well, it might not fly in an era where even CPR is seen as harassment.

Anyway, you woke up just in time. We should tell the doctor.

I pressed the call button next to the bed, and a nurse came in. She saw Lucy awake and said shed call the doctor.

Perfect timing. The magical contamination results will be out soon. Though it seems less likely now that you woke up like this.

The doctor arrived and conducted a brief examination. He said the test results would be available soon.

As expected, the results were normal. After receiving that, we went through the discharge process immediately.

Oh, um, wanna grab a bite before we leave?

Lucy suggested as soon as we left the hospital room.

Are you sure? You look tired.

Anyone could tell she was exhausted. It hadnt been long since the incident happened, so she couldnt be in top shape.

But hey, I can eat!

Dont push yourself. Lets go. We didnt have time to notify anyone because we left the hospital in a rush, and Lumi was worried sick.

Oh, right! Lumi! I need to see her! Lets eat some other time. Sorry!

Lucys face turned pale, and she rushed off towards the female dormitory.

Seems like Lumis worries are more important than having a meal together with me. Well, theyre just twins in the setup, after all.

I headed back to my dormitory.

I hope Liliana is keeping the place in order. Shes pretty and makes good money, but it was annoying when she started nagging about me being a horny bastard.

Maybe I should just break up with her. But then again, who knows what kind of trouble shell cause.

Being trapped in this hellish scam contract, what a mess.

But it does pay well. I recently saw a post titled [Daily Income of a Fresh Academy Camgirl.jpg], and it seems I dont have to worry about the cost of keeping Liliana.

Her monthly maintenance cost is a little over 10 million won, but she earns in the millions per day. Its like a money duplicator. Shes practically raining money on me.

Ah, lets double-check the dungeon practice training schedule.

I already checked it once, but it wouldnt hurt to make sure there are no changes. Lost in thought, I arrived at the dormitory.

Ding!

I placed my smartwatch on the door lock and entered the room. The dormitory was quiet, with the lights off. Liliana wasnt in sight.

Is she livestreaming in her room? No, but Im pretty sure the lights were off when I entered.

As I was taking off my shoes, the door opened, and Liliana came running out.

Haa, haa, haa Y-Youre here.

Disheveled in her tracksuit, her face was flushed red.

Are you feeling unwell?

Uh, no.

Phew, thats good.

Liliana desperately waved her hands and spoke. I had a feeling her face got even redder.

You werent that badly hurt to begin with. Im going to use the computer for a while. I need to check my class registration.

Oh, no!

Liliana waved her hands in the air impatiently. For some reason, she blushed even more.

Why cant I use the computer?

N-no! Um I came to say hi to you in the middle of a rank promotion match!

Liliana didnt even listen to my response and hurriedly went into her room.

?

Yeah!

Her condition has definitely improved a lot compared to yesterday. She looked so worn out back then. I guess spending the night with Lumi was quite healing for her.

Well, sure thing, anytimes okay. Is Lumi coming along too?

Huh Why? Oh, yeah! Of course! Lumi and I are like two peas in a pod!

It seemed like she had a brief moment of hesitation. Nah, probably nothing.

Lets go, Lumi!

Yeah, sure.

We had our meal at the Victoria Academys shopping area and then went back to our respective dorms. Thanks to Liliana, I didnt have to worry about my finances, so we had a pretty decent meal.

And, two hours later, Lumi and I met again at the training grounds.

Are you sure youre okay? It hasnt been that long since you got discharged.

Im fine. Didnt get hurt much, really.

Still.

Hush. Lets just get on with it.

I decided to show Lumi how to create a barrier today. At first, it was supposed to be me learning it, but somehow, it turned out like this.

First of all, you know the basics. You have to weave your magic together to make it sturdy.

Yes!

And its essential to have the determination to make it strong. Youll probably be better than me at that.

Uh determination? I dont quite get it. Whats that about making it sturdy in magic?

Really?

Wait, Im pretty sure I learned about imbuing magic with determination in Lumis barrier. Why doesnt she know?

Putting determination into your magic, you dont know about that?

No, I dont Ive heard about the attributes of magic, but Ive never heard about making it sturdy or determination Im sorry, Im not much help

No, no, its okay.

Lumi might look unassuming, but shes a rising star in Class A of the 1st year. If she doesnt know, then its likely that others dont know either.

Come to think of it, it was never mentioned in the original game.

I assumed it was because the settings for magic were so vague, but maybe people in this world arent aware that magic can be imbued with determination.

Even if they have a sense of it, the fact that Lumi doesnt know means that the concept isnt firmly established.

Found it. A new research topic. I found something that would be great to bring to Professor Im Sol for research.

For now, forget about what you just heard. It was something I was pondering on my own. Ill explain later.

Um, sure. No problem.

Shall we wrap it up here for today? We only managed about an hour, but weve got more time if you want.

Sounds good. But, um, Hoyeon, would you?

Yeah? Whats on your mind?

Why are you closing your eyes tightly and trembling like that? Could it be are you trying to confess?

Hold on, relax. It would be a disaster if I respond now, right?

Uh, do you happen to have time tomorrow? Would you like to go to the tteokbokki place we visited on the weekend? And maybe have a drink

Heroine Status Window

[Lumi]

[Affection: 65]

[Lust: 78]

[Appetite: 25]

[Fatigue: 45]

Current status: Asking a guy out for a date first, I must be crazy!

.

Feeling a bit awkward about Lumis suggestion, I checked her status window.

Strange. Definitely strange. Her lust is unusually high.

How nervous could she have been to make her face turn as red as an apple? And that expression, it definitely seems like shes expecting something

It overlaps with the expression she had in the original game when she desperately asked for another round while we were in a relationship.

She seems to remember it.

Lumi definitely remembers what happened in the motel. Otherwise, theres no way to explain her abnormal lust.

This perverted girl remembers everything and still does this? Its almost as good as saying, Please ravage me! Legally speaking.

I was about to ask her out for a date, but it seems she beat me to it. Well, I guess its a good thing.

Sure, lets meet up on the weekend.

With a sly plan in mind, I sent her a positive response.
