Resumed Classes and Seo Moon-hyun
"Ugh..." A soft, thin moan escaped Arian Liberin's lips as she took her seat in the classroom. The sensation came from the three cherries nestled inside each of her entrances. I followed her in and sat down beside her.
"They haven't arrived yet." Sitting next to Arian Liberin, I mentioned that Yee Eun-chae and Yoo Eun-chae had yet to show up, while placing my right hand on her thigh and knee, exposed beneath her skirt.
"Lord Cheon... hng!" As my hand slipped beneath her skirt, Arian Liberin let out another moan and quickly covered her mouth with her hand. Leaning closer, I caught the sweet fragrance wafting from her and spoke quietly.
"Keep them in properly. I'll take them out when we return to the dorm this afternoon, but don't remove them yourself until I do. Understood?"
"Yes... but what will you do after taking them out in the afternoon?"
With a seductive smile, Arian Liberin tried to brush her fingers against my crotch. I countered first by firmly grasping her panties and kneading her through the fabric.
"Haaah!"
"I'll leave that to your imagination. They're coming now."
The moment I finished speaking, Yee Eun-chae burst into the classroom, her black hair with violet highlights fluttering behind her.
"Ah! Cheon! Arian!" Spotting us, she smiled brightly and hurried up the steps. Her gaze flicked between Arian Liberin and me as she grinned with obvious delight.
"I was so worried when Arian left yesterday! It looks like Cheon's comfort helped a lot. As her friend, I'm truly glad."
Arian Liberin returned the bright smile with one of her own.
"Yes. And your concern was a great comfort to me as well, Eun-chae."
"Oh! Really? I'm so happy that I could comfort and help a friend!"
Yee Eun-chae was genuinely overjoyed at the thought of having been helpful. Arian Liberin gazed at her with warm, pink-tinged eyes, still smiling. Watching the two of them, I recalled the episode that would soon involve Yee Eun-chae.
Next will be Yee Eun-chae's turn.
Once her story concluded, she would become mine, following right after Seo Moon-min-hye, who would be mine by tonight. The thought of her healthy, vibrant body—especially her chest, even larger than Arian Liberin's and clearly visible even beneath the academy uniform—made my mouth water. It was the aftereffect of thoroughly savoring Arian Liberin yesterday. I probably needed to calm down a little.
"Ah! Arian."
Yoo Eun-chae entered the classroom as well, calling out to Arian, and quickly made her way up. Her dazzling silver hair, like the finest silver melted and drawn into fine threads, swayed as she approached, her blue eyes filled with relief—quite the contrast to Arian Liberin's golden hair that seemed forged from molten gold.
"Are you feeling better today?"
"Yes. Thanks to Lord Cheon."
At Yoo Eun-chae's question, Arian Liberin linked her arm with mine and spoke as if proudly showing off. However, Yee Eun-chae and Yoo Eun-chae, who had no romantic experience and had never shown interest in such matters, failed to notice anything unusual about our relationship.
"Did Cheon do something for you?"
Yee Eun-chae's tone was purely curious. She was certain I had done something to help Arian Liberin. After all, as her first friend here, I was someone she could trust more than anyone.
"Yes. He said he would help me grow stronger quickly. Knowing that Lord Cheon will assist me, I don't think anything like yesterday will happen again, so I'm feeling much better now."
Since we had agreed to keep last night's intense activities a secret, Arian Liberin only mentioned the part about me helping her train to become stronger.
"Cheon, could you tell us how you plan to train Arian?"
Yee Eun-chae didn't question whether Arian Liberin's words were true. She accepted them without a shred of doubt. She placed the same level of trust in me as well.
"It's nothing special. I'll personally oversee her training at the Yucheon Group facility prepared on Hero Island. There are also secret methods to accumulate magic power faster while learning to control it more delicately."
"Ooh! That's amazing! Such methods exist?"
"Of course."
My words weren't lies. With the methods I could employ, they would grow far stronger than before. It seemed acceptable to accelerate their growth beyond the original story's pace, so if they wished it, I intended to invest in making them stronger.
"Um... could I... I mean, could I receive that training too?"
Yoo Eun-chae carefully voiced the question, then immediately looked startled and glanced at me nervously. The tension and fear in her eyes suggested she worried her request might be rude. The way she switched from formal to casual speech, even after sharing pizza together, showed she still found it difficult to feel close to me.
It must be because I became world-famous overnight after saving Arian Liberin.
Though the classroom was still empty of others, the fame from this incident would soon become very real. Beyond the National Hero Academy, my name had grown even more renowned in the outside world for rescuing the princess of the Liberin Kingdom from a villain organization—accomplishing feats beyond those of active heroes.
"If Hyun-ah is asking, then I will as well. Cheon, could I receive that training too?"
Unlike Yoo Eun-chae's nervous inquiry, Yee Eun-chae asked me directly and confidently. If it hadn't been Arian Liberin who was receiving training from me, she too would have hesitated, worried about being rude. But since it was something her friend Arian Liberin was getting, she simply assumed she could receive it as well.
And while her reasoning was slightly off, her conclusion was correct.
Both of them can.
Yee Eun-chae and Yoo Eun-chae. Both would soon become my women, so training them to grow stronger was hardly any trouble. We would be together for the rest of our lives, after all. If anything, it was my responsibility to personally guide and teach them.
"Arian, would it be all right if I taught these two as well?"
"Yes, it's fine."
Arian Liberin answered while sending me a strangely meaningful glance. I knew exactly what that look implied, but I didn't bring up the topic now. That conversation would happen tomorrow, not today.
"People are starting to arrive. You two should take your seats."
"Ah! You're right."
"Y-Yes, we should."
Since Arian was sitting at the very end with me beside her, Yee Eun-chae naturally took the seat on my other side. Yoo Eun-chae sat next to her. Now with Yee Eun-chae on my left and Arian Liberin on my right, I felt a slight twinge of regret. Yee Eun-chae wasn't mine yet, so reaching out to touch her would only fluster her.
"Ah, there he is."
"Seo Moon-jin!"
"I heard you saved Arian Liberin from those villain organizations yesterday?"
"They said on the news you're a hero who rescued a princess..."
The large lecture hall, capable of seating a thousand new students, quickly filled with people. After finishing breakfast, the students who entered pointed at me and whispered among themselves. Their reactions were as if they had encountered a famous active hero.
Here they come.
Finally, Seo Moon-hyun and Lee Se-na entered side by side. Lee Se-na met my eyes and gave a slight bow in greeting. I responded with a smile. Noticing this, Seo Moon-hyun's expression twisted unpleasantly. I sneered inwardly at the sight.
Your position doesn't exist anymore anyway. Go ahead and keep deluding yourself that you're doing well for now.
In truth, aside from me, Seo Moon-hyun was currently regarded as the most outstanding among the new students. However, the growth he should have achieved by fighting villains yesterday had been stolen by me. While it wouldn't have been much growth for me, Seo Moon-hyun could have broken through a wall and advanced a step further after such an intense battle.
Seo Moon-hyun felt an inexplicable sense of displeasure upon seeing Seo Moon-jin seated between Arian Liberin and Yee Eun-chae. Even he couldn't understand why.
He's probably just sitting between them because they're friends, so why do I feel this way?
Was it because he suspected Seo Moon-jin had used some trick on Arian Liberin? With that thought in mind, Seo Moon-hyun took a seat two rows behind Seo Moon-jin along with Lee Se-na. After settling in, the professor in charge of this class soon entered the room.
"Hey, Hyun-ah."
Lee Se-na, seated beside him, alternated her gaze between Seo Moon-jin and him before asking with a determined expression.
"Why, Se-na?"
"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding with Seo Moon-jin?"
