After Lunch
The meals at the National Hero Academy remained excellent. Thanks to Yucheon Group's funding, every student received high-quality food for free, and in that moment, all students shared the same sentiment—except for the one exception, Seo Moon-hyun.
"Mmm~ This meal is always the best."
"Same here. I don't even want to eat out anymore. It's way tastier and more varied here."
"It's all thanks to Seo Moon-jin."
There were always students who said things like that during mealtime. Hearing them, Seo Moon-hyun somehow felt his appetite fading.
The plate in front of him held a thick steak. The red wine sauce he'd chosen was of decent quality, and the taste was superb. The accompanying mushrooms, potatoes, broccoli, and cauliflower paired perfectly with the steak, yet Seo Moon-hyun's fork and knife had only managed to cut a few slices before stopping.
"Hyun-ah?"
Lee Se-na, who had been eating her stuffed pork chop across from him, looked at him curiously when she noticed he wasn't eating properly.
"No appetite?"
When she asked with concern, Seo Moon-hyun forced a smile.
"No. I just have a lot on my mind."
Though he told Lee Se-na he was fine, he knew it was a lie meant to keep her from worrying. Even he found his own state strange.
It's so irritating.
His gaze kept drifting toward Seo Moon-jin, seated far away. Arian Liberin sat beside him, while Yee Eun-chae and Yoo Eun-chae sat across from him. They were simply friends gathered for a meal, but Seo Moon-hyun couldn't help thinking that the one who should be in that spot was himself, not Seo Moon-jin.
Arian, Eun-chae, Hyun-ah. Why are you hanging out with that guy?
They had all been his friends. Even if they had met Seo Moon-jin before him, he had still been close to them—close enough to spar and share laughs. He even wondered if his bond with them ran deeper than Seo Moon-jin's.
"Hyun-ah… Is Seo Moon-jin bothering you?"
Lee Se-na asked cautiously, reading his expression. Instead of admitting the truth, Seo Moon-hyun smiled softly.
"Does it look that way?"
"U-uh… Actually, yes. B-but Hyun-ah, that's not a bad thing, right? Don't be too upset just because you lost to him."
She assumed he was depressed over his first defeat after a winning streak, never suspecting there might be another reason.
Yeah, there was that too.
Only after hearing her words did Seo Moon-hyun recall that he had lost to Seo Moon-jin in a duel. Come to think of it, that loss had been pushed to the back of his mind because of how close the three girls seemed to Seo Moon-jin. Now that he remembered, the humiliation of defeat came flooding back.
How could I lose so overwhelmingly?
No matter that Seo Moon-jin was the top student and a year older, the gap in skill shouldn't have been that vast—especially not in front of Arian Liberin, Yee Eun-chae, and Yoo Eun-chae. The fact that he had lost while they watched weighed heavily on him.
Though he was recognized as the academy's second-ranked student, he wasn't first. While he should have been the hero receiving everyone's attention and gratitude, the academy's most beautiful women were all focused on another man. Even Lee Se-na spoke of Seo Moon-jin with respect, calling him "Seo Moon-jin-nim."
But one day, when he achieved great things, everyone's attention would turn to him. As Seo Moon-hyun thought this, another doubt crept in.
Wait, why am I even worrying about this?
It made him seem obsessed with fame. Someone must be influencing me negatively.
He was a righteous, upright person—the perfect heir to the Seo family, someone who never tolerated injustice or compromised with evil. Everything would naturally fall into place as it should. Seo Moon-hyun reinforced this self-delusion and continued eating. Lee Se-na, unaware of his inner turmoil, assumed he was simply steeling himself against the shock of defeat and felt relieved.
Though she genuinely worried for her childhood friend, her concern meant little to Seo Moon-hyun.

"Mmm~ So delicious! Thanks to you, today's meal was really satisfying!"
Yee Eun-chae looked happy as she rapidly devoured a table piled high with various dishes. As a big eater, she had stacked what looked like enough food for ten people and showed no signs of stopping—sirloin steak, tenderloin steak, roast beef, pork barbecue, chicken barbecue, soup, fried rice, and grilled shellfish. In contrast, my own meal was simple.
Just cheese pork cutlet.
It looked like something from a snack shop, but the taste was addictive enough and not bad at all. While slowly spearing a piece of cutlet with my right hand, I began stroking Arian Liberin's thigh under the table with my left. After casting a confusion spell beneath the table so no one else could notice what my hand was doing, I slid my hand inside her skirt and began caressing her over her panties.
"Mmph…"
Arian Liberin flinched slightly as she ate her goulash.
"Hm? Arian? Are you okay?"
Yee Eun-chae, with her keen senses, noticed the flinch and looked at her with concern. Arian Liberin responded with her usual pure, gentle smile.
"Yes, I'm fine."
While saying this, she lightly pinched the back of my hand—a signal to stop touching her there. So I simply stroked her thigh and enjoyed my meal. After lunch, there was something I needed to do.
"Eun-chae, Hyun-ah. Could Arian and I talk alone for a moment?"
"Just the two of you?"
"Ah…"
Yee Eun-chae looked puzzled, but Yoo Eun-chae seemed to realize something and tapped her finger against Yee Eun-chae's arm. She apparently assumed I wanted to discuss the villain incident from yesterday with Arian Liberin privately. Once she understood, Yee Eun-chae nodded.
"Ah! Got it. Moon-jin, Arian. See you in class later."
"Moon-jin, Arian. See you later."
"Yeah, see you in class."
Leaving behind the energetic Yee Eun-chae and the still slightly awkward Yoo Eun-chae, I took Arian Liberin's hand and set up a barrier at the far end of an empty classroom. Now no one would perceive our presence, and even if someone looked right at us, they wouldn't see a thing.
"What did you want to talk about, Moon-jin-nim?"
"What I wanted to say… Well, this."
"Huh? Mmph!"
When I pulled Arian Liberin into a kiss, she raised her hands and placed them on my shoulders. But soon she responded eagerly, her tongue and lips moving actively as we shared a passionate kiss.
"Chuu… Haa…"
Her pink eyes were filled with burning desire. The cherries I had placed inside her earlier were partly to help her endure her own lust. Seeing her like this—emitting that scent right beside me while secretly craving sex with me—made it even harder to hold back. Still, even without using the two holes below, there was one place I could use.
After ending the kiss, I slipped my hand under her skirt, squeezed her butt, and said,
"Arian, I've been drooling all day just looking at you."
"Haa… Me too. I keep thinking about having sex with you, Moon-jin-nim… It's hard."
Arian Liberin, whose body had been completely marked by sex with me, spoke with an aroused breath. I pulled her panties down and began roughly rubbing her pussy, which still held the cherry inside.
"Haah! Hnn, haaang!"
"You don't need to hold back your voice. No one can hear or notice anyway."
"Hnnk, haaang!"
At my words, Arian Liberin let out unrestrained moans, drool trailing from her lips. With her brilliant golden hair swaying, the princess of a nation, dressed in her academy uniform, moaned in pleasure as her pussy was caressed right inside the academy.
"Hiyaaaaah!"
When my fingers targeted her clit as well, Arian Liberin's waist arched lightly and her pussy flooded with arousal, soaking everything. I quickly pulled her panties back up over her lightly climaxed body and waited for her to calm down.
"Hnn… Moon-jin-nim…"
Arian Liberin called my name in the afterglow of her orgasm. I gave her another kiss—this one gentle—then pulled away and said,
"Arian, it's your turn now. Just like I soothed your pussy, you should calm my cock down too."
"…Yes. I'll do it with my mouth."
Without hesitation, Arian Liberin knelt in front of me. She loosened my belt, pulled down my pants, and took out my cock. Staring at it with a hot breath, she lightly licked the tip with her tongue, then opened her small, pretty lips wide and took me into her mouth.
"Hnn!"
A pleasant sensation spread from my cock as it entered her warm mouth. The sound of Arian Liberin diligently sucking me while moving her head back and forth echoed around us—audible only to me.
Chuuup chuuup! Lick—
With my hand on her head, I moved my hips at a moderate pace, thrusting deep into her throat.
"Hup! Hnn!"
Each time, Arian Liberin showed a slightly uncomfortable reaction, but she never stopped licking and sucking. Thanks to her devoted service, I felt my climax approaching. I grabbed her head firmly and said,
"Arian, I'm coming!"
Spurt spurt spurt spurt!
After pouring my load into her mouth, I watched as she swallowed every drop. Having received my semen as dessert after lunch, she looked slightly nauseous but endured it and drank everything.
"Cough cough! Uck!"
Once my cock slipped out, she dry-heaved for a moment before catching her breath. Then she looked up at me with a satisfied expression.
"Haa… How was it? Did you like it, Moon-jin-nim?"
"Yeah, I liked it a lot. Here, let me clean your mouth. Lunchtime's almost over, so we should wrap this up."
"Yes."
Arian Liberin accepted the magic cleaning of her mouth with a slightly regretful look.
"It's a shame it's already over… But it can't be helped. I'll look forward to tonight."
She seemed to have really enjoyed yesterday's taste of sex. Smiling prettily, she even gave me a little wink over her pure, gentle smile, clearly anticipating the evening.
Yeah, we'll do it tonight too.
But Arian Liberin wouldn't be the only one. Starting today, Seo Moon-min-hye would be joining as well.
