"Mmgh. H-Ho-yeon...?"
A filthy wave of lust surged through my body.
I wanted to fill the emptiness in my chest with the warmth of her feminine form.
I pulled Lumi's soft body into my arms and moved my tongue inside her mouth.
"Mmph... mm... slurp..."
Lumi panicked at first but gradually matched my breathing.
She responded to my forceful, instinctual kiss by entwining her tongue with mine.
"Schlurp... haah, haah. Ho-yeon... wh-what's gotten into you today?"
Anyone who saw this might think I was some kind of weirdo.
They might not understand how I could hurt Lucy just moments ago and now force myself on Lumi like this, but to me, it was important.
Lumi had to accept me no matter what.
That was the 'role' given to Lumi, the passive heroine archetype.
As a heroine, Lumi would never defy the protagonist.
If the protagonist told her to spread her legs, she spread them. If he told her to suck, she sucked. That was Lumi.
I... wished Lumi, who looked exactly like Lucy, was the heroine.
I wanted her to be a character—an intelligent being who wasn't truly alive, one who would do as I said and die if I commanded it.
Then maybe the guilt toward Lucy would ease a little.
I wanted to think of Lucy as a game character with preset behavior patterns.
"Lumi, sorry. But I can't hold back."
"H-Ho-yeon... at least wait until after class... mmgh...!"
I undid the buttons on Lumi's cadet uniform shirt and groped her breasts over her thin top.
The plush, overflowing handful seemed to calm me down a bit.
"Let's make it quick. Just take off your panties."
"Y-Yes...!"
As I sucked on Lumi's lips and kneaded her breasts, her eyes glazed over. She hiked up her skirt past her waist and slid down her panties.
"Yeah, now just lift one leg onto the toilet."
"Hnnngh... y-yesss...!"
With her uniform still on, one leg propped on the toilet and her pussy exposed, she looked incredibly erotic.
Squelch squelch
I brought my fingers to Lumi's pussy. As I gently stroked her labia, she got wet almost immediately.
"Haak... haht... hnn... aaah...!"
I slid my hand up a little and pinched her clit between my thumb and index finger, rubbing it.
Time was short, so I had to get her soaked fast for insertion.
"Ah, aaah... hnnph. W-Wait... y-you're too... s-sensitive... mmph."
"Hold it in. I'll finish quick."
I spoke to Lumi in a deliberately cold tone.
"Hnnngh... H-Ho-yeon...!"
Squelch squelch squelch
As I loosened her pussy hole with my fingers, I dropped my pants and prepared to thrust in.
"Hnnn... s-something's off with you right now, Ho-yeon... mmph... mmmph!"
I silenced Lumi's complaint with a deep kiss and pressed my glans against her entrance.
The moment it caught on her hole, I shoved my cock inside. Even though she wasn't a virgin, the tight squeeze felt amazing as it enveloped me.
Lumi's pussy seemed startled. Her inner walls clenched and stimulated my shaft rhythmically.
"Mmgh! Slurp... grrgh! Puhah, haaah... g-gentle, please... hnnnngh!"
Thrust thrust
Her uniform skirt muffled the slapping sounds, but with one of her legs over my shoulder, I pistoned my hips rapidly.
"Ah, haaang... g-good... hnnht! Aaang!"
The depraved thrill of fucking my classmate in the school bathroom, combined with her moans, had my cock throbbing toward climax in no time.
Since I'd planned to finish fast from the start, it was only natural.
"Lumi, I'm gonna cum."
"Yessh, yesss...!"
I didn't hold back and pumped my semen deep into her pussy.
Lumi didn't seem to have climaxed yet.
For a moment, we panted with our lower abdomens pressed together.
"Ho-yeon..."
Then Lumi grabbed my face and pulled it to her chest.
The soft, fleshy scent tickled my nose, and her plush warmth enveloped my cheeks.
"If something's hard on you, tell me anytime. I'll be right there with you. Or you can use me like this whenever. But... next time, let's take it slower, okay...?"
Lumi stroked my hair and whispered softly.
Her voice carried a vivid emotion no preset personality could muster, and only then did it truly sink in for me.
This was reality. I was forming relationships with living people.
"Lumi... sorry. That wasn't my intention..."
I could feel my eyes trembling.
"It's okay."
Squeeze
Lumi tightened her embrace around me.
"B-But next time... you have to satisfy me once too. Fair's fair for friends, right?"
Her cute little pout made my cock twitch back to life.
"W-Wait, Ho-yeon. Class is starting soon. Really, no more. Okay?"
"I'll finish quick."
I aimed my glans at her hole again.
"No, you said that last time too... ahn...!"
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ Creeeak—
The slowly opening back door drew the eyes of the class mid-lecture.
"You're late. Cadet Lee Ho-yeon and Cadet Lumi."
The elderly female professor's cold gaze pierced me.
"...S-Sorry."
"It's been less than five minutes, and you look like you ran here sweating, so I'll let it slide this once. Take your seats."
"...Thank you."
Thanks to the professor's fortunate misunderstanding, we entered without deductions.
Lucky we slipped in just before class properly started.
Squeeze—
"Ow."
Lumi, sitting beside me, pinched my hand under the desk.
Then she started scribbling on her notebook.
[I said just once!!! ㅜ o ㅜ]
[Sorry...]
This was my fault for getting excited and going for seconds.
I needed to reflect on that.
Still, Lumi had eased some of my mental stress. Now I just had to take care of Lucy somehow.
"Alright, focus now. Starting today, we'll cover barrier dissolution and magic reversal."
The professor tapped and manipulated the hologram.
Whoosh—
Holographic magic circles appeared on each desk.
"First, we'll learn to reverse the magic circle right in front of you."
As she spoke, a magic circle visualized and appeared before the professor.
"Whether it's a magic circle or a barrier, the basics are reversing the mage's drawn circle—erasing it step by step."
It felt like retracting mana in the opposite order of how it was constructed.
Since it wasn't my circle but the opponent's, I had to trace their route exactly, requiring complex calculations and processes.
And the cadet showing the most talent in reversal was...
"Then, Cadet Elise? Come up and demonstrate?"
Elise.
True to her magic swordsman talent, she had immense gifts in both magic and swordsmanship, but she was a recognized genius especially in barrier dissolution and reversal.
Later, she'd become a monster who sniped magic from afar, slashed up close with her sword, and reversed incoming spells.
Reversal magic itself was so advanced and difficult that few active mages mastered it properly.
That's why Elise, who handled it effortlessly, was hailed as the world's top prospect.
"Try reversing the magic circle I manifested."
"Yes."
Elise observed the circle briefly, then emanated mana from her fingertips.
Vmmm—
The slowly rising mana erased the circle at blinding speed, vanishing it in seconds.
"As expected of Cadet Elise. That's usable even in real combat."
Clap clap clap
The professor clapped and sent Elise back to her seat.
"Now, let's learn to find the starting and ending points of the holographic magic circles."
And so the boring theory lesson began.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "Alright, next—pair up and practice reversing each other. Find the issues."
The dull lecture ended, and finally, it was time for hands-on practice facing Lumi.
We naturally turned our chairs to face each other and began.
"Okay, I'll go first... hyup."
Lumi manifested a flawed magic circle she couldn't actually activate.
The twisted, folded, tangled lines thoroughly hid the start and end points.
"Lumi. This isn't a magic circle."
"B-But if I make a normal one for you, you'd reverse it instantly."
True. Honestly, if I put my mind to it, I could outpace even genius Elise.
Mastering 'Rune Clan Secretary' had deepened my barrier understanding, and reversal in the same vein had improved too.
"Still, this'll be tough, right? Hehe."
Lumi spread the circle with a smug look.
It definitely didn't look easy. It was made to block reversal, not for actual magic.
But it wasn't hard either.
"If I solve this in 30 seconds, what'll you give me?"
"Hmm... then... after class, in the clubroom... I'll, um, reward you."
Her eyes cast downward shyly as she said something so bold—it was a far cry from the purely passive Lumi in the original.
"Deal. If I lose, I'll reward you too. Sound good?"
Lumi's face flushed as she bowed her head deeply.
"Y-Yes... sounds good."
Her embarrassed yet accepting reaction was adorable.
It felt like I was finally enjoying the popular high school life I'd missed as a kid—my chest swelled.
And naturally, I solved Lumi's circle in 20 seconds.
"H-How...?"
"See you in the clubroom later."
I whispered into Lumi's ear as she clutched her head.
"Y-Yesssh...!"
Even in defeat, Lumi looked thrilled.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ After some secret fun with Lumi in the clubroom, I returned to the dorm.
"I'm back~."
"Oh, welcome back."
Liliana was lying in the living room, scratching her belly while watching a hologram monitor.
Today's commendation ceremony had drawn crowds, so I'd left her in the dorm to avoid any incidents.
"What're you doing in the living room?"
"Checking NewTube rivals' sales points. I wanna make my channel bigger."
"Uh, yeah. Good luck."
Liliana analyzed a female cam girl dancing sexily with a serious face.
Honestly, I knew nothing about streaming. Just that Liliana made good money.
If she worked that hard, she'd succeed at anything.
Come to think of it, rumors were spreading about a perverted cosplay girl among the cadets lately.
I hoped the academy wouldn't investigate for 'maintaining dignity.' No way, right?
The men's dorm was safe, but you never know.
I stripped off my clothes by the door and headed to the shower.
Under the warm water, I pondered tomorrow's plans.
Tomorrow was finally dungeon training practice.
And terrorism would make the dungeon go berserk.
Pandemic, the villain group, launching indiscriminate attacks on the academy.
In the story, the protagonist got caught up and bonded with a heroine— this time, Baek A-young.
As the dungeon rampaged and terrain shifted forcibly, sticking close to Baek A-young during the precursors would isolate them together.
That's when I'd make my move.
But it wouldn't be easy. She wouldn't just love being jumped.
There were various conditions... Wonder if I could meet them.
After washing away stray thoughts, I toweled off, shook my hair, and checked my smartwatch.
"Oh, right. Yejiyomi? Gotta reply to her."
After thinking it over, there was no reason to refuse free sponsorship.
If the terms looked good, she could be useful networking later. Otherwise, ditch her.
[Me: Hi. This is Lee Ho-yeon. Here's my number for easy contact. 010-xxxx-xx...]
"Good, good."
I tossed my discarded clothes into the washer and hit start.
"Wait, where's my underwear?"
It should've been on top since I took it off last, but when I grabbed the pile for the wash, no panties.
Weird. It was right on top before showering.
"..."
A glance at the living room—Liliana, who was lying there watching her hologram, was gone. Only her firmly shut door greeted me.
"Nah, no way. What would she do with my underwear?"
Did leaving her alone one day for the ceremony build up her lust...?
'Is that why she suddenly got horny and took my panties?'
"No matter how I think about it, probably not."
She's probably just went to game. Stop overthinking.
No matter how perverted, she wouldn't steal my dirty, sweaty underwear.
The panties were probably just mixed in with the clothes washing.
I brushed off the nonsense, lay on the living room bed, and started planning for tomorrow.
