Chapter Title: It's a Strategy
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy.
Writer: Kim Muggle
Came to the training room with the trio,
but the president shows up and challenges me to a spar.
Loser grants the winner's wish.
Probably limiting to 4th circle,
but if it wasn't a wish bet, I'd just treat it as training... now I'm hesitating...
Hold up, a wish?
Fuck position incoming?
Win or lose, it's a great bet. Getting XX'd by the student council president and XXXX....
No way it's something like that.
Isn't it fine? President's wish can't be anything other than Kim Muggle getting fucked.
Bang the president and train too? Sounds great.
A spar with a senior is great for improving your skills~
Just casually probe what the wish is first.
Worried the president might pull something risky. But she was the one who took Kim Muggle to the duchess before, so she might have some goal related to the Archmage Duke Family.
Harisha's sudden spar proposal.
I posted on the gallery, agonizing over the wish bet aspect.
As the gallery users said, there was no reason for Harisha to propose such a bet without some ulterior motive.
She was the one who took me to Illimost Archmage before, after all.
It felt like she was hiding something.
"Why all of a sudden? I can't grant a wish to join the student council, though."
"Don't worry, Junior Ian. I don't force people into service."
Images from the subjugation festival—of the vice president and cleaning manager—flashed in my mind.
I didn't want to end up like that.
"I guarantee it won't be anything harmful to your safety, Junior Ian. If it is that kind of wish, I'll step down as student council president. I'll swear on a mage's honor in front of all the cadets."
"Hmm..."
She was staking her student council president position.
All the cadets in the training room turned to look at Harisha.
Especially since she was a direct descendant—staking a mage's honor carried immense weight.
I felt like I might have been overreacting.
Harisha might have just casually proposed a spar to a junior.
If you win, doesn't that mean you can get freaky with the student council president? Do it, Kim Muggle!!
I'm cumming-
Just my personal take, but from what we've seen so far, the president doesn't seem like a villain.
With her student council position on the line and assurances against risky wishes,
the gallery consensus was that Harisha wasn't the type to threaten me.
Maybe I should just go for it lightly.
Sparring with someone like Harisha would teach me a ton.
"Then, I accept your request."
"Great. Looking forward to it, Junior Ian."
And so, the spar between Harisha and me was set.
Rare sight of the student council president in action—every cadet in the training room gathered to watch.
"Shall we limit to 4th circle?"
Harisha and I activated the duel system and took our positions.
Formal spars, like the one with Elrim, restrict to magic of a set circle to gauge true skill.
Precisely, only up to 4th circle and below.
This played to my advantage since my skills were lacking—lower circles leveled the field.
Higher circles would highlight skill gaps more starkly.
In other words, I chose 4th because I could wield up to that freely.
But for a first-year, that was no easy feat.
"4th circle? Not even 3rd?"
"Is the president humoring a first-year's skill?"
"The subjugation festival winner? Got cocky after a lucky win. Even good first-years can't handle 4th circle."
"He'll gasp through a few calculations and done. Why's the president bothering with him?"
The onlookers whispered at my 4th circle suggestion.
Most standout first-years at this stage could barely handle a handful of 4th circle spells.
The spectators figured I wasn't serious about the duel.
"Of course. Impressive for a first-year to duel with 4th circle magic, right?"
"Looking forward to it."
I ignored the murmurs and focused on my strategy.
No mana forging or special traits—just pure magic.
Full force clash? I'd lose for sure.
I had a few tricks to catch her off guard, but no guarantees.
Judging Harisha's true strength from just the festival was tough.
Beep-
Moments later, the system's countdown blared, and the duel began.
This time, I shifted my usual approach.
Normally, I'd lead with probing shots.
Spells like [Rock's Parabolic Trajectory] or [Stone Bullet Burst]—simple formulas for quick hits.
Standard duels weren't like field battles with terrain tricks.
Just magic. Attack and defend like passing a ball.
Magic placement and execution shone brightest.
So I'd usually prioritize quick probes to seize turns.
But that wouldn't work on Harisha.
Her calculations outpaced mine, no doubt.
If orthodox failed, hit her blind spot.
Nothing but unexpected disruption.
"I won't hold back even a second, Junior Ian. You okay with that?"
The duel started, and Harisha began calculating a spell instantly.
True to her word—no mercy from second one.
But I was ready too.
Countdown over, I started on one spell.
First move: defend.
But not simple defense.
A rarely used inefficient spell, but top-tier 4th circle durability.
[The Time It Takes for Sedimentary Rock to Form]
Defense / Multi-layered rock wall / High mana cost
Walls built over eons, naturally layered.
Stone, gravel, ash, sand—whatever.
Sediments piling into solid rock across vast time.
Dense zigzag lines for varied sediment strata, drawn tight and endless.
Over them, wavy wind-like curves,
and seeping droplets between layers.
Finally, layers crushed, shattered, compressed, reformed by nature.
Endless spiraling circles for time's flow.
The ground swelled and crumbled, reforming into stacked sedimentary rock.
A massive wall erupted with a boom-crash, rocks colliding and fusing.
In an instant, the flow of time compressed into a towering sedimentary barrier before me.
Crunch-
Almost simultaneously, something slammed hard into the wall.
But it still stood, shielding me.
Not fully breached.
Complex calculations for a 4th circle spell.
Layers could be irregular or tangled depending on use.
That was its strength.
Impacts carved uneven chunks from multi-layers.
Forces dispersed—no single hit stripped all strata.
Front layers shatter, rears endure.
Higher circles could pulverize it outright.
But same 4th? Impossible in one go.
Downside: mana cost 5550—insanely high for 4th circle.
Mana scales with formula complexity, not just circle.
Pure inefficiency.
Normal 4th circle mages couldn't afford it, but my mana pool exceeded 90k.
Usually, I'd layer simpler defenses.
But now, this was essential.
Crack-
While Harisha hammered again, I calculated my next spell.
Her follow-up would likely crumble it.
Prep this and the one after simultaneously.
If this worked, I might even win.
A cowardly tactic, really.
But I wanted to test its combat viability.
Not banking on victory alone,
but disrupting Harisha could tip odds my way.
Snap-
Her next attack punched a hole through.
Layers cascaded down.
Wall collapsed, revealing Harisha.
My spell completed simultaneously.
[Zzzt and Squirt Away-!]
Converts electric damage to sexual pleasure / Debuff / Gonik Orgasm magic
The spell I'd used against Professor Jueri and the taboo mage.
Gonik Orgasm's magic—turns electric damage into ecstasy.
I cast it on Harisha, then immediately started the next.
"What spell was that? Don't tell me you failed the calculation, Junior Ian? I'd be so disappointed."
Harisha noticed the spell on her.
But nothing happened yet.
She assumed I wasted my turn.
Far from it. Calculation succeeded.
Next electric hit would trigger it.
"No worries, President."
I fired my next spell right away.
Harisha calculated post-wall, but
this turn, mine was faster.
Just a 1st circle spell.
[Static Electricity]
1st Circle / Minor spark / Low mana
"Hyah?!"
Sizzle—a faint spark.
The tiniest static, like clothes rubbing.
It grazed Harisha.
"1st circle?"
Just static—pleasure minimal.
But the sudden bliss halted her calculation.
I didn't expect full disruption from one.
Just surprise from the unexpected stimulus.
She'd endure and calculate next time.
But I wasn't stopping at one.
To fully derail and seize turns for victory,
hammer it relentlessly.
Sexual pleasure stacks in short bursts.
Even tiny ones accumulate if continuous.
[Static Electricity] x5
Spam / Pleasure stacking / Turn disruption
"Ngh... Hnng...?!"
[Static Electricity]—mere 1st circle.
Sparking it was effortless.
While she calculated one 4th, I could spam dozens.
The mounting ecstasy broke her focus again.
Proof I could rattle her concentration.
"What indecency is this..."
But true to student council president form,
she saw through my ploy instantly.
Harisha gazed at me with slightly moist eyes.
