The Professors Are the Easiest to Conquer (3)
Hmm, it really is stimulating. If I didn’t have my past-life memories, staying calm would have been difficult.
Kael caught the faint fragrance drifting from Professor Anna. A scent both sweet and strangely provocative teased his senses.
At twenty years old, with all the vigor of youth, the seductive smile and deliberate skinship from such a beauty were more than enough to set his heart racing. The tempting thought that he could bend her to his will using food as bait even made a hint of saliva pool in his mouth.
Yet he remained composed, meeting Anna’s light brown eyes as he answered.
“Yes, Professor Anna. Please feel free to call me by name from now on.”
At Kael’s reply, a small smile curved Anna’s lips. She wrapped both hands around his and spoke again.
“Then, Kael. Wouldn’t you like to see me more often? If you come to my lab instead of Professor Lucia’s, I can take much better care of you.”
Her voice was gentle, but the intention behind it was brazenly obvious. Reading both her gaze and her meaning, Kael laughed inwardly.
She’s seducing me outright.
Her attitude suggested she was desperate to offer her body at any moment. However, it still wasn’t time to seize full control. With that in mind, Kael gave no response. At that exact moment, Professor Lucia cut in with a sharp tone.
“Professor Anna, Kael is my responsibility. Could you please not cling to him so closely?”
Lucia glared at Anna with icy eyes. At the same time, she lightly rested a hand on Kael’s shoulder. Anna kept her smile in place and tilted her head slightly.
“My, Professor Lucia. Why so sensitive? I simply want to become closer to our Kael. Isn’t that right, Kael?”
Still holding Kael’s hand, Anna faced Lucia with a provocative stare.
Thus the two beautiful professors smiled at each other while engaging in a fierce battle of nerves.
This just got interesting.
Both women maintained outward dignity, yet their open wariness toward each other was unmistakable. In the midst of it all, Kael stayed silent, simply watching the scene unfold.
After all, the initiative would eventually fall into his hands. After briefly enjoying the spectacle of the two beauties checking each other, Kael scanned the professors gathered in the lab and spoke.
“Professors, may I have your attention for a moment?”
All eyes turned to him at once. Though Lucia and Anna continued to glance sideways at each other, they still listened carefully.
“From now on, right before dinner each evening, I will provide you with items to eat alongside the coarse black bread. In addition to jam, butter and cheese should also be possible.”
“Butter!”
“Did he say cheese?!”
Anticipation flared in the professors’ eyes at the mention of butter and cheese.
“In return, I have one request. Please do not speak of my ability to anyone. This must remain a secret between myself and all of you.”
Principal Albert nodded at his words.
“Naturally! Don’t worry, Kael! We saw for ourselves today just how extraordinary your ability is. Keeping it secret is only proper. Wouldn’t you agree?”
The professors immediately voiced their agreement.
“Of course, Principal. I will protect Kael’s secret with my life!”
Professor Galen declared heartily.
“We cannot let this opportunity slip. This secret will never leak.”
Another professor spoke with firm resolve.
“The same goes for me. I will definitely keep it secret.”
A different beautiful professor added softly. Her light purple hair cascaded all the way to her waist, and her silver eyes were every bit as striking as those of Lucia or Anna.
The black dress clung tightly to her body, boldly displaying every curve with a deep, provocative neckline. The high slits on both sides of her miniskirt accentuated her long, slender legs and plump thighs. Her sensual allure carried a different flavor from Anna’s pure charm or Lucia’s quiet elegance.
It was the aura of a fatally seductive temptress.
“Don’t worry, Kael. I won’t breathe a word to anyone,” Anna said in a warm, affectionate tone.
“I feel the same, Kael. I will absolutely keep your secret. So… would it be all right if I called you simply Kael from now on?”
Lucia subtly suggested dropping the formal title. Kael nodded in approval.
“Yes, that’s fine.”
“Thank you.”
Lucia smiled. Having secured their promises, Kael wore a pleasant smile on the outside, yet a cold sneer lurked within.
Keep it secret? Sure, some of them will. But with ten people, at least one is bound to let it slip.
He had never truly believed the secret would remain intact. Sooner or later, one of the professors would whisper to a favored student, “You alone shall know this.”
Yet that was exactly what Kael had intended from the start. The secret needed to leak through the professors if he was to seize control more easily in the days ahead.
“Still, eating coarse black bread in the cafeteria would draw attention. I’d better take it back to my office, spread this on it, and eat in secret,” Professor Galen said, shaking the tube of strawberry jam in his hand.
“Hahaha! An excellent idea, Galen. Everyone, take your coarse black bread and eat it in your offices! If we eat openly, the students will notice. So remember—eat quietly in your offices and lock the doors behind you!”
“Yes, Principal!”
Even spreading nothing but strawberry jam on the coarse black bread would greatly improve its awful taste.
“Then, Professors, I’ll take my leave now.”
Kael rose from his seat. It was time to slip away. At his words, both Lucia and Anna turned to him at the same time. Their eyes brimmed with clear disappointment.
“You’re leaving already, Kael? I wanted to talk a little longer…”
Anna’s gaze burned with heated longing beneath the regret. The passionate look from someone with such an innocent appearance was incredibly seductive.
“Kael, if you ever need help, come to my lab anytime. I’ll do anything for you.”
“Yes, I’ll remember that.”
Lucia refused to be outdone and jumped in as well. Hearing her, Kael briefly imagined asking Lucia to relieve his sexual frustration.
Not yet.
He set the tempting thought aside once more and inwardly laughed while watching the so-called “catfight” between the two professors as they continued to warily eye each other.
If I ordered them to strip right now, they’d both do it instantly. They’d probably pull their own panties down, bend over, and quietly present their asses.
The balance of power had not fully shifted to him yet. Even so, it was already tilting heavily in his favor.
Even as he stepped out of the lab, Kael could still see the sharp glares the two professors were exchanging.
Back in his dorm, Kael thought about the upcoming dinner hour.
Time to go see for myself.
It was time to check how the other students were reacting. Yet because he had access to the shop window, his steps toward the cafeteria were remarkably light. Unlike the others, he had no need to suffer through the coarse black bread.
The moment he arrived, he noticed the atmosphere was completely different from breakfast. The enormous hall was still packed with students, but the lively chatter of the morning had vanished. In its place, the silence, sighs, and despair from earlier seemed to have intensified a hundredfold.
“Ugh!”
“I’m so hungry…”
Every student wore a miserable expression. The satisfaction of a solid breakfast had long since worn off by dinnertime. The agony of an empty stomach was written plainly across their faces.
Noble children who had enjoyed luxurious meals their entire lives found hunger itself an alien sensation. The cruel reality that the only food available to ease that hunger was the revolting coarse black bread tormented them even more.
Heh, the mood is perfect.
Kael surveyed the scene with satisfaction. Still, it wasn’t enough. The students’ faces needed to sink deeper into despair and pain.
“Ugh, I can’t eat this…”
A male student chewed the coarse black bread, then hurriedly gulped down water. The rough texture and sour taste made it nearly impossible to swallow. The girl beside him tore off a small piece with her fingers and sighed.
“They expect us to eat this for over thirty-three years? I’d rather starve.”
“Exactly.”
“Starving would be better.”
The students around her nodded in agreement. Yet hunger still drove their hands back toward the coarse black bread.
Trapped between the torment of eating the overly nutritious but utterly disgusting bread and the torment of starvation, the students suffered.
I wonder what that Irina bitch is up to.
Kael’s gaze shifted to Irina. She was still seated at a table with her followers, but the elegant image she had projected that morning had crumbled considerably.
“Mmph…”
She tore off a tiny piece of bread and placed it in her mouth, her face frozen in clear distress. Seeing her desperately trying to fill her stomach and preserve her dignity just to avoid the embarrassment of her belly growling was almost comical.
I wonder how much longer you can hold out, Irina? Heh heh.
Kael mocked her silently. His eyes then moved to the imperial princess, Eleonora. The golden-haired, crimson-eyed beauty continued eating the coarse black bread with apparent grace. Unlike Irina, her suffering did not show outwardly.
Yet he noticed the faint tremble in her fingertips and the occasional cracks in her composed expression. She, too, was clearly in pain from the bread’s horrible taste.
