Extra Lessons on the Bed
"I'm thinking of the training in two parts," I said, choosing not to comment on Yoo Eun-chae's reaction.
"Oh! What are they??" Yee Eun-chae asked, her trust in me so pure that even the sight of the bed hadn't raised a single suspicion. If I'd had any intention of taking her to bed for anything other than training, her innocent faith would have made me feel guilty. But I had no such plans. I truly meant to help her grow stronger.
"First, I'll give you a massage to make your body more receptive to magic power. After that, we'll use virtual reality training."
"What? A m-massage..." Yoo Eun-chae looked even more flustered at the mention of a massage.
"If the massage feels like too much, we can skip it and just do the virtual training," I assured her. The massage would yield better results, but the virtual sessions alone would still be far more effective than training by herself.
'Things are starting to get dangerous around here,' I thought. Hero Island was where the Eternal Dragon Terenity would descend. Because of that, magic power was especially dense here—even more so than the rest of magic-rich Korea. Simply attending the academy would let students grow faster than they could elsewhere. But the girls wanted growth that outpaced everyone else, and they were counting on me to provide it.
"Could you explain what the massage entails?" Yee Eun-chae asked. I nodded.
"Sure. Basically, I'll use my own magic power to stimulate your body while I massage you, helping it become more attuned to magic. I've already explained this briefly to Arian and Min-hye during... well, one of our late-night sessions," I added, glancing at the two of them. They were listening attentively now, partly for the others' sake.
"It'll make gathering and controlling magic power much easier. You know how people talk about yin and yang energy? What I'm doing involves using yang energy to stimulate yin energy, so it only works on women. Men don't get any benefit from it."
"Oh! So it works on all of us, then!" Yee Eun-chae said brightly.
"Yeah. But it can be pretty embarrassing, so if you don't want to do it, we can just stick with the virtual training."
Yee Eun-chae tilted her head. "How embarrassing are we talking?"
"You'll basically be lying there in just your panties while I press and rub every part of your body."
Yoo Eun-chae's entire frame trembled at the description. The thought of being nearly naked and completely at my mercy was clearly overwhelming for her. Yee Eun-chae, however, only blushed without a trace of suspicion in her eyes.
"Mm, that does sound embarrassing... but I trust you, Cheon."
"You do?"
"Why do you sound surprised? Do you think I'd suspect you of something?" she asked, a hint of indignation in her voice. "I believe you'll never betray our friendship or do anything strange. I don't doubt you at all!"
Her confident declaration made me smile. "Thanks for saying that."
"It's only natural between friends!"
"Haha, now I feel bad. Thanks for trusting me, Eun-chae."
"Remember this—I will never doubt you."
I had no intention of betraying that trust. If I ever made her mine, it would be because she chose it herself. Forcing anything would have been easy, but that wasn't the path I wanted. She would receive the rewards of her faith in due time.
'Still... it's pretty stimulating,' I thought, watching her unwavering trust. A girl like this openly showing affection and trust—how had the original protagonist, Seo Moon-hyun, ever ignored her for Kang Mi-hyun? It made no sense to me, in this life or the last.
"I-I'll trust you too," Yoo Eun-chae added quietly, her voice small. She clearly wanted to refuse, but after Yee Eun-chae's bold declaration, she had no way out. Refusing now would have meant admitting she doubted me.
Yee Eun-chae had unknowingly closed off her friend's escape route.
'Well, she'll be glad she chose this soon enough,' I thought. Probably by tomorrow.
"We'll have to do this one at a time since it requires focus. Min-hye, want to go first?"
"Yeah! You'd rather start with me anyway, right, Oppa? Hehe~" Seo Moon-min-hye gave me a playful smile, but her eyes held a distinctly seductive glint that only I could see.
I met her gaze, then looked at Arian Liberin. She gave a small nod.
"That works," Arian said smoothly. "We'll do Min-hye first, then me, then Eun-chae and Hyun-ah."
Yee Eun-chae nodded. "I don't mind."
"Me neither," Yoo Eun-chae agreed. They accepted the order without complaint, likely assuming Arian simply wanted to grow stronger as quickly as possible after everything she'd been through.
"Alright, Min-hye first. It won't take long, so just wait a bit. Let's go inside, Min-hye."
"Okay, Oppa."
Once the door closed behind us, Seo Moon-min-hye turned to me with sparkling eyes.
"Oppa, can they hear anything from out there?"
"No. I've made sure no sound or presence leaks out."
"Hehe~ Is that so?"
With an excited hum, she stripped off her simple dress and tossed her bra onto the bed. Wearing only her panties, she threw herself into my arms and kissed me passionately.
"Mmm... chuup!"
I caught her, returning the kiss while savoring the feel of her soft body. My hands roamed over her hips as we kissed deeply. After a moment, I pulled back.
"Let's save the rest for later. I'll take care of you properly then."
"Okay! I'll be waiting!"
She looked blissfully happy, still flushed from our kiss. Yesterday had been the first time we'd truly been together, and she was still floating in that euphoric dreamlike state. Her happiness would last forever.
'Forever,' I echoed silently.
I watched as she climbed onto the bed and lay face-down.
"Let's begin. Min-hye, relax and just accept it."
"Okay!"
I placed my hands on her smooth, pale skin and began the massage, channeling my magic power through every inch of her body.
"Hnn... ah... haaang~"
Seo Moon-min-hye let out suggestive moans with every touch, her cheeks flushed. The sounds were deliberately playful rather than genuine.
"Ah~ Oppa's hands feel so naughty~ Hehe! Kyaaang~ Aaang~"
Now that our feelings were mutual, she had the freedom to tease me like this. I smiled fondly at her antics and continued the full-body massage, carefully infusing her with magic power to make her body more receptive to it.
