The General Counseling Office
The door to the academy counseling office bore this inscription.
General Counseling Office – Counselor Jerome
That was right. The General Counseling Office.
A place where academy students could freely unburden themselves of whatever troubled them. This was the General Counseling Office where I worked as a counselor.
There was only one reason a high-ranking mage of the Vyrant Empire who had reached the peak of his craft would take a post as a counselor here: becoming a counselor at this academy was the condition that triggered the Netorase events.
I could not even count how many hardships I had endured to reach this position. Without the protagonist buff that had gifted me innate magical talent, it might well have been impossible.
By this point, even setting Netorase aside, I simply wanted to take it easy and rest. In that sense, Vyrant Academy was the perfect place for a man who had retired from active duty to loaf around and enjoy himself.
Students came by with their petty worries, so I never grew bored. I did not have to tangle myself in complicated affairs of the empire. And on top of that, I could meet countless fresh, beautiful academy girls.
The reason I received a salary just for counseling students—and was even provided a private counseling office with attached personal quarters—was simple: the principal of this academy was a close friend of mine. His name was Bernard Walker. Back when I had served as an imperial mage, Bernard had received a great deal of help from me.
As far as he was concerned, he still owed me. But even setting that debt aside, the man and I got along extraordinarily well. We were close in age, so we had always spoken freely with each other; he even knew about my Netorase fetish.
Since we were that close, I had no need to hide my ulterior motives from Bernard, and I demanded that he create a post just for me. That post was the General Counselor of Vyrant Academy. Officially it existed to support the students’ academy life, but in truth it had been created solely for my sake.
A position that let me lounge around with women after retiring from active service, while also serving as the trigger for Netorase events—that was the General Counselor of this academy. I was treated as faculty of the same rank as the professors, and my counseling office even came with a small attached bedroom.
If, while counseling a female student, our eyes happened to meet and things progressed… I could simply take her straight to the bed in that attached room. I had already done exactly that and become lovers with two female students.
From the window of this counseling office, tucked away in a corner of the top floor of the Student Union Building, the entire academy grounds spread out before my eyes. The well-kept campus, the deep green trees, and the carefully tended flower beds soothed the heart just by looking at them. The female students moving among them were lively and fresh beyond measure. Leaving them alone like that felt almost wasteful…
For now, though, I would focus on taking good care of the two girlfriends I already had. Both of them were handfuls in their own right, so that alone kept me plenty busy.
The two girlfriends I was dating were both prospective freshmen for this year’s academy intake. One was the heavy favorite to take the top seat, and the other was expected to enter with top-tier scores as well. In looks, too, it was no exaggeration to say they were the prettiest not only among their peers but among the entire student body.
The only reason I had been able to date two such girls was purely the protagonist buff applied to my appearance. I had kept my entire history as an imperial mage secret, so they had been drawn solely to my looks and personality. It was unfair, but even in another world, looks mattered.
At any rate, I had made them my lovers before they had even finished the month-long entrance examinations. Every condition for triggering the Netorase events had now been met.
Just imagining my girlfriends spreading their legs for other men already had my cock…
Knock—! Knock—!
Just as I was about to sink into a Netorase fantasy, someone knocked on the counseling office door. My cock was already hard, but that was no excuse to neglect counseling.
I answered in the low, resonant voice the female students always said they liked.
“Come in.”
The door opened without the slightest hesitation the moment I spoke. A familiar scent immediately flooded the counseling office.
A bright, refreshing fragrance. Just breathing it in lifted my spirits and put me in a good mood.
The owner of that scent visiting the counseling office right now was Chloe Argentwood. Currently in the middle of the freshman entrance examinations, she was…
My girlfriend.
She bustled in with energetic steps, completely bypassed the counseling seat meant for visitors, and threw open the door to the attached bedroom behind it. Then she flopped straight onto my bed inside, looking for all the world as if she were walking into her own home.
“Hey. Chloe. Who said you could climb into the teacher’s bed without permission?”
She did not even bother answering. Instead she buried her face in my pillow on the bed and rubbed against it.
“Sniff! Sniff-sniff!!”
“Hey. Chloe.”
When I spoke more firmly, she finally lifted her face from the pillow. With a thoroughly dazed expression she answered me.
“Hehe— The pillow’s completely covered in Ssaem’s smell!”
“You actually like that? I sweat in my sleep—it must reek.”
“It’s Ssaem’s sweat, so of course I like it! Hnnph—! Haaah—! Man smell! Hehe—! It’s so hot—!”
Chloe said the word “hot” without the slightest hesitation, eyes half-lidded. Word had already spread among the prospective students that she was the unpredictable type, but in front of her boyfriend she crossed every line by a wide margin.
Still, the reason I put up with her was…
Because she was pretty and refreshing.
Her energy ran so high that she sometimes wore me out, yet just looking at her improved my mood, and her figure was excellent enough to make my cock stand at attention at any hour of the day.
Ah. Of course, Chloe’s chest was smaller than that of my other girlfriend, Ciara. Ciara’s breasts were simply off the charts to begin with…
Anyway, Chloe had gone so far as to lie down on the bed and invite me to take her; I could not simply send her away.
With that thought, I approached her.
But then…
“Ssaem! Wait! I came for counseling today, okay?”
She had been the one to tempt me first, and now she wanted counseling. What kind of scheme was this?
“Hey. Chloe. If you’re going to lie on the teacher’s bed, you have to take responsibility.”
“Hehe— Ssaem. Actually, I brought something you’d like?”
“What is it?”
“Here— Hehe!”
She held out whatever she had been clutching in her hand. Resting on Chloe’s small, white palm was…
A carefully folded note. I picked it up and carefully unfolded it.
As the paper opened, carefully written characters came into view at a glance. The handwriting was a man’s.
Rare Demonic Beast Research Society
Hello, Junior Chloe Argentwood.
Our society is recruiting new members.
We are a society dedicated to the study of rare demonic beasts. The ecology of rare beasts, methods of tracking them, methods of rearing them, and more…
Information on rare demonic beasts connects closely with the academy’s regular curriculum, so we believe it will be of great help to your future path.
This semester’s welcome gathering will be held on the Friday evening of the week the entrance examinations conclude, in our society room on the second floor of the Student Union Building. It will be a relaxed opportunity to mingle with the seniors, so please feel free to attend without pressure.
— President Tobias Hartmann
The note Chloe had received was a club recruitment invitation from a senior named Tobias Hartmann. Club recruitment drives were common at the start of the term.
What made this invitation unusual, however, was that it had been issued before the entrance examinations had even finished.
Of course, Chloe was currently holding the top ranks and was all but certain to be admitted. Even so, recruiting for a club in this manner went against academy custom.
Moreover, this society had a quietly circulating reputation. Rumors whispered that the male students of this club—which claimed to research rare demonic beasts—had once passed around freshman girls among themselves.
Of course, those rumors were likely exaggerated or distorted. If they had been true, the male students of the club would have received appropriate disciplinary action.
No male student from the club had ever been disciplined, and the club itself continued to exist; looking at those facts, the rumors were probably false.
Yet the sheer hotness of those rumors themselves stimulated me. If Chloe joined that club without knowing any better and met with misfortune…
If she were passed around by that president Tobias and the other male bastards under him…
Hah—
My eyelids twitched and blood surged. And yet my cock grew hard.
It could not be helped.
I was a man obsessed with Netorase.
And that fetish of mine…
My girlfriend Chloe knew about it as well.
Right now she was deliberately provoking me, fully aware of my preferences. It was an utterly Chloe-like move.
She had never seriously considered joining any club; she was simply teasing me to get a reaction.
Even knowing her intention…
I could not calm my cock down.
Already the image of Chloe surrounded by men was beginning to form in my mind.
Just then.
“Ssaem? You’re not thinking something weird, are you?”
“…”
“Ssaaem— Maybe…”
She cast a sly glance toward my crotch. When she looked at me like that with those deep crimson eyes, I…
Could only surrender to the atmosphere she created. My cock grew even harder. Soon the front of my pants swelled enough to show clearly. Watching it, Chloe’s lips moved.
“Ssaem… Did you get hard?”
“Ch-Chloe…”
“Pfft— You’re really hopeless…”
“…”
“Ssaem… You imagined that while looking at the note, didn’t you?”
“…”
“Ssaem… If that’s the kind of taste you have… want me to do it once?”
“A-Chloe! That’s not allowed!”
That was right.
It was true that Netorase excited me, but for me it was still only in the realm of fantasy.
I was not yet mentally prepared to actually carry out Netorase.
I myself knew better than anyone that someday I would ask Chloe for Netorase as well, but for now I was putting it on hold.
I wanted my first Netorase to be safer.
Right now I wanted to have Ciara, with whom I was even closer, do the first Netorase.
For the time being, I wanted to keep Netorase on hold.
Perhaps those thoughts showed on my face. Chloe, who had been staring straight at me, made a slightly disappointed expression.
“Hmm— Ssaaem… If you want it, I can do it once for you, you know…”
“Chloe… I still can’t go that far…”
“Pfft! Our Jerome-ssaem. Is that so? There-there—”
Seeing me lose my fighting spirit, Chloe stroked my head and cooed over me as if I were adorable.
She was the cuter one, yet here she was cooing over me even though I was much taller… It was absurd, and yet I understood.
When someone got so worked up over Netorase only to turn into a coward the moment it came time to actually do it, how could she not want to tease him?
Ciara would probably feel the same. No—if it were Ciara, she might not tease me the way Chloe did.
With her…
It might be a little more intense?
“Our Jerome-ssaem. How are you ever going to try Netorase even once when you’re this soft?”
“…”
“There-there! Is that so? There-there!!”
Chloe pouted her lips and cooed over me. Receiving this kind of affection left me with a strange sense of defeat and even a thrill of corruption.
“Ssaem! Even while you were hesitating like that, that place got hard, right? Want me to at least finish you off with my hand?”
Honestly, I wanted her to.
It felt as if semen had already risen all the way to my urethra.
Even if I felt like I had lost, it could not be helped.
“Chloe… Do it.”
“Ah! Ssaem! But the final exam period is about to start, isn’t it? Sorry, but I have to head to the exam hall!”
“Chloe…”
“Ssaem! Sorry! Hehe! I’ll definitely do it next time! No cumming until then! Promise?”
“…”
“See? You’re hesitating again. It’s because of Ciara, isn’t it?”
“Chloe…”
“Tch— If you keep playing only with Ciara… I might really go throw myself at some other guy?”
“Ch-Chloe!!”
“Pfft! Just kidding, Ssaem!”
“…”
“Aigoo! Our cute Jerome-ssaaem!! I’m really going now!”
Claiming class time had arrived, Chloe bustled out of the counseling office. I could not even tell from which point her teasing had been planned.
Anyway, I did not know whether I would meet Ciara this evening… but if I did not hear from her, I would have to meet Chloe and have sex.
Getting me this worked up was driving me crazy.
The counseling office fell quiet once more.
I drew a deep breath and sat down in my chair.
“Hoo—”
Just then.
My phone buzzed.
Bzzzt—!
It was a text from Bernard Walker, asking me to help with something at the examination hall.
