Chapter Title: Grand Prostration Penalty
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm team Big Tits, not Redhead lol
"Ian? Where the hell are you going all of a sudden? And where have you been for the past week..."
"Just follow me for now, Hisenna. I've caught the traitor who dared to insult you!"
"Huh?"
Hisenna had no idea what was going on as Ian dragged her along.
She couldn't make sense of what he was saying after vanishing and suddenly reappearing a week later.
Before she knew it, she was following him to a spot where a red-haired cadet was standing with a flushed face, trembling all over.
"I-Ian? What the..."
"This is the culprit right here!"
"What's with the sudden formal speech..."
"Sob... sniff... sob...!"
Hisenna had no clue what was about to unfold right in front of her.
She could only fluster at Ian's bizarre behavior and the female cadet's sobs.
"Now then, get to it, loser. Perform the Grand Prostration."
"Y-You're seriously making me do this!? This is insane...!"
"You lost the bet, didn't you? Forgot the promise you made in front of everyone? Or should I make you do it where even more people can see?"
"Ugh... Fine! I'll do it, okay!?"
Seeing the female cadet yell defiantly, Hisenna suddenly remembered something.
This red-haired girl was definitely Elrim Shuskalra.
She was famous for picking magic duels whenever she could and always winning.
She must've made a bet with Ian and lost, and now she had to pay up.
'But Ian beat Elrim in a bet?'
More than that, Hisenna was shocked that Ian had won.
Elrim was notorious for never losing bets.
Beating her meant he was the first to do so.
As expected of the disciple of the first Archmage? Hisenna was impressed by Ian once again.
Even if his antics were still utterly moronic...
"Alright, Lady Hisenna. Have a seat and receive the Grand Prostration."
"O-Okay."
If it was the result of a bet between mages, she had no choice but to accept.
Duels between mages had to be honored. Any mage with honor took responsibility for what happened in a duel.
But what on earth had Ian demanded as the bet's penalty from Elrim?
It was still terrifying to think about.
And then Elrim began carrying out the penalty.
"I-I'm sorry for looking down on Lady Hisenna and Ian with my pathetic magic skills. I won't act cocky with such garbage magic ever again..."
"Pardon? Hold on, Ian. This is...?"
Eh!? Hisenna jumped in shock at Elrim's utterly unexpected declaration.
She pursued being the best herself, but she didn't have a hobby of humiliating opponents so vulgarly.
Suddenly receiving a surrender without doing anything left Hisenna with a twisted sense of guilty pleasure she'd never felt before.
"Lady Hisenna, you have to accept it! This jerk dared to insult you!"
"Wh-What!?"
Ian forcibly seated Hisenna.
What the hell had happened to make him set such a horrific penalty?
Hisenna was forced to sit by Ian's grip and watch the spectacle unfold straight on.
What followed was even more horrific than she imagined.
"N-Now, then... I'll perform the Grand Prostration... to Lady Hisenna and Ian..."
"Grand Prostration?"
Elrim began bending down with an utterly humiliated expression.
She'd thought 'Grand Prostration' just meant bowing deeply...
"Urgh... ngh...!"
"Hey, straighten up properly! It has to be a perfect straight line! If you fall, we start over from scratch!"
"I-I'm trying!"
What the hell was this? It was basically a handstand.
Except her head was planted on the ground, arms bent in a handstand bow.
Hisenna was too shocked by this bizarre apology pose to even speak.
"You! Do it properly until Lady Hisenna is satisfied!"
"I-I'm satisfied! You can stop now!"
Elrim was trembling like she might die any second.
Hisenna hurriedly called it off; she couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"Hey! Never act cocky toward Lady Hisenna again!"
"I've never acted cocky toward Hisenna...!"
"Ian, what the hell is all this...?"
"Let's go, Lady Hisenna. No need to deal with trash like her anymore. I'll explain everything on the way."
Hisenna stumbled along as Ian dragged her away.
Left alone in humiliated disgrace, Elrim collapsed and wiped away her tears.
"Why did things end up like this... Why'd I have to piss off that Perryhill girl..."
It was a bet with Ian, so why had it turned into insulting Hisenna? She still didn't get it.
But she'd accepted thinking she'd obviously win, so she had no excuse.
"I won't... ever forget this. I'll pay you back for sure...!"
It was a bet she should've won. How did he have such skill?
Elrim, who always won her fights, couldn't accept her first loss.
She'd definitely get revenge. The dopamine from that would be on another level.
"Ian Isaac... I'll beat you for sure!"
Having tasted the humiliation of Grand Prostration for the first time in her life, Elrim steeled her resolve against Ian.
After getting a free meal from Hisenna, I headed back to the dorm.
Oh yeah, I'd posted that smackdown proof earlier and hadn't checked the gallery yet.
I grinned thinking about authenticating the Grand Prostration pic too.
First, I checked the smackdown proof post I'd put up.

(A photo of the defeated Redhead, face mosaicked, sitting there in a daze)
Thanks, Archmage bros. Thanks to you, I successfully smacked down the Redhead who pissed me off big time!
????
lololol wtf why you playing solo hentai game?
Orgasm) Did you send the Redhead packing?
Whoa lol you actually won.
Spill the duel deets quick
Wandering Battle Mage) Looks like a proper fight. That's dueling for ya
CantDoThisEither) Wtf dude what have you been up to lmao, was 2nd circle magic usable?
As expected, the comments were blowing up.
Since I'd said I was heading to the duel at the end, everyone was curious about the details.
Things had been so hectic I'd only asked the gallery what I needed and bounced.
Recent posts were all speculating about my duel.
Title: Predicted Situation for Kim Muggle Right Now
Author: Orgasm
This Kim Muggle fucker posts about winning the duel and ghosts for hours... we all know what's up...
Grabbed her by the hair, dragged her off, XXXXX her and made her XXXX... and finally grabbed that redhead and went full XXXX on her...!
wtf lmao why'd the genre suddenly turn 19+ after a duel lol
This dude's brain is full of nothing else lol
ExtremeEfficiencyFanatic) But it's plausible. Maybe the bet involved something sexual.
But Redhead accepted that? From a total Muggle like Kim Muggle?
ExtremeEfficiencyFanatic) Redhead picked the fight with Kim Muggle, right? Whatever the reason, she was dead sure she'd win.
Yup. Thought she'd win easy so accepted any terms, but he was unexpectedly strong and she got XX'd.
I'd think I could win against a week-old newbie mage too.
But the opponent was Kim Muggle.
Power Mage is peak Muggle Emperor as expected.
I'm into Big Tits, not Redhead tho
"What the fuck do these guys think I am?"
I'm not isekai'd into some hentai game. That shit doesn't happen.
I just made it a wholesome Grand Prostration bet.
Can't let this slide. Gotta post the Grand Prostration proof quick to normalize the gallery.
No more defamation posts floating around. Stop!
Title: Stop!
Author: Kim Muggle
srsly duel ended, took the bet payout, was late. Oh, and got a free meal from that lady too so even later.
None of that smut you degenerates are imagining. It was a super wholesome bet.
What happened after...
(Revealing pic in 60 seconds)
Full rundown in the next post lol. Stop the defamation! I'm not some pervert demanding bodies as bets!
Post it all at once ffs!
Agro king as expected but hurry up with the next post, don't blueball us
CantDoThisEither) Ffs spill what happened, full duel rundown
Orgasm) Didn't you just nut to her? Thrusting and zapping the Redhead...!?
Kyaaaa you crossed the line!
What can you even do lol besides wait for the next post kyaaaa
I knew it was rude, but I had to beg them to stop the madness.
Posting the full duel from start to finish would take time, and I couldn't just sit there while the defamation piled up.
So I quickly threw together a post with the duel details the Archmages wanted and the Grand Prostration.
Title: Duel Story with Redhead
Author: Kim Muggle
Duel first. Like I said, Redhead pissed me off hard so duel started. Bet: If I win, Redhead does Grand Prostration to me and that lady (who bought me food). If she wins, I become her dog.
Was confident, dove right in.
Prep: Pinned short-calc 2nd circle spells on gallery.
You guys worried 2nd circle's tough, but nailed 'em no fails.
Plan simple: Harass with short-calc Rock's Parabolic Trajectory to keep her from attacking. Got faster over time; by end, fired 3 during her one cast.
Caught her panicked on defense, finished with Accelerating Fireball. Couldn't keep up, failed defense, win. Calc speed OP, right?
Then reward time. Not your smut, Grand Prostration.
Redhead dissed me and the lady (food buyer) when provoking, so to both of us.
And...
(Redhead doing Grand Prostration pic)
Made her apologize in utter humiliation. True smackdown success lol
Ate with the lady and back at dorm now.
lmaoooooooo fr?
Making her do Grand Prostration? Psycho lolololol
Her ears are red in the pic too? How humiliated was she lmao
MagicGirlLulu-chan) H-Hoek...! Kim Muggle's a madlad!
Environmentalist) First time seeing Grand Prostration. Better to just hair-pull. Couldn't do that.
How is that pose even physically possible lol
Kinda excessive, better to just XX her
Orgasm) Yup...! Shoulda hair-pulled Redhead and posted XXX proof...! But Grand Prostration kinda... haaah...!!
Proof pic dropped, comments flooded in like they were waiting.
Insulted me and Lady Hisenna? Deserved it. Seems no one's seen Grand Prostration before.
But dude's magic skills are nuts too. One-shot 2nd circle calcs and won duel first try?
Even if Redhead sucked, triple Rock's Parabolic Trajectory at start... suspicious af.
CantDoThisEither) Fr won like that? Mana capacity up sure, but calc speed insane?
Wandering Battle Mage) Harassment with Rock's Parabolic Trajectory into finisher? Solid strat. You're a combat type.
RageInducesSwordfight) Dude you'd crush as a magic swordsman. Battle sense is nuts. Grab a sword.
Not a strat a week-old Muggle thinks up fr
Lots of comments shocked at the duel too.
Oh yeah, the onlookers had praised my strategy.
But for me, a heavy gamer, it flowed naturally.
Calc speed matters? Steal turns with fast attacks, basic.
Strategy aside, was my calc speed that impressive?
Was definitely slow at first. Got faster as I went? Oh, but like you said, mana control wasn't hard. Tricky at start but now focus needed for mana is way less. Feels comfy lol
Told ya not a Muggle. Means insane mana affinity, but humans can't have that high from start.
FlapFlap) This affinity shit is weird fr. Ever heard of a human like this?
ExtremeEfficiencyFanatic) Your calc speed is broken. Dunno why, but build foundations solid. Magic difficulty skyrockets per circle. High affinity don't help multi-formula different speeds easy.
Kim Muggle) Yeah gonna take it step by step. Focus solid so 2nd circle speeds manageable.
Suspiciously high mana affinity, huh.
Reincarnation perk or whatever? Who knows. Archmages say build basics, so whatever.
But nothing with Big Tits?
Kim Muggle) Big Tits?
Was about to shower when weird comments caught my eye.
Saw it earlier too. Why the sudden Big Tits obsession?
Yeah the one buying you food. Entrance exam rival.
Kim Muggle) Why's she Big Tits?
We decided internally. Milk bag tank = Big Tits.
When did we lol
From now on
Big Tits naming not bad lol
How's Big Tits' actual Big Tits?
Kim Muggle) Generous heart for sure... wtf no, you psychos
For some reason, the gallery was calling Hisenna "Big Tits".
Her assets are impressive, sure, but what the fuck, guys.
But after seeing Grand Prostration today switching from Big Tits faction to Redhead faction
CantDoThisEither) Fr. How'd she endure that. Still pondering tho.
Environmentalist) Big Tits needs a Grand Prostration too
So when's the Redhead XX story!?
I wanna hear Big Tits XX story!
Kim Muggle) Ffs nothing happened you lunatics! Chill! Even if, I ain't spilling!
Dude's so oblivious to the end lol
Oblivious fucks his rice lol true Muggle Peasant
You think nothing really happened?
Fuck, why are these assholes giving Hisenna and Elrim these weird nicknames?
