Chapter Title: ○Secret Tryst Promise for the Man I Hate to Death
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The path was obvious.
It was the place where he had trained when learning magic compression.
If anything, it was like a barren desert with nothing around—just a few sparse training dummies in an otherwise empty space.
This time, Professor Plenoir and the hero candidates were gathered there.
There were quite a few people. Maybe around fifty.
He opened his notebook to check the attendance score.
They had arrived right on time. Good.
"There's someone who doesn't belong here."
Someone sneered, clearly aiming at him.
The candidates' gazes nailed him in place.
He knew who the owner of that voice was.
"You crawled all the way here without any shame, huh, Decal."
"We're in the same class. What's there to be ashamed of?"
Diana Vanguard.
The purebred daughter of the prestigious Vanguard family, raised in luxury.
Her wavy pink hair and blue eyes were strikingly beautiful.
"Pfft."
Diana giggled.
The burly man at her side, who was obviously a lackey, twisted his lips in mimicry.
"「Same class,」 she says. That's the shameful part about that face of yours.
This section is a different league. This is the real Melbritt from here on out. You'd better give up on dreams of reaching the top ranks like me before you embarrass yourself."
"......"
In summary.
She was in the upper ranks even among Wolf Rank scores—somewhere in the eight hundred to nine hundred range—so she wasn't on his level?
Honestly, he couldn't see the difference. Maybe at Bear Rank, but within Wolf Rank...?
"Well, you'll feel the difference in ability soon enough.
Once you see my power, you won't have a choice but to 「acknowledge」 me."
"It's a senior's class, so of course I'll watch closely."
Even Diana's blatant mockery felt welcoming now.
At first, her haughty attitude as a noble lady had pissed him off sometimes,
but now their superior-inferior relationship was clear, so he could overlook most of her arrogance.
Right—she already had a vicious suggestion planted in her.
「Receiving my acknowledgment is the greatest joy for you.」「All your pain is rewarded when you accept the prize I give.」
He had a few like that.
He knew dangerous suggestions to implant in people, learned from modern-world experience.
One was obviously the one that led to death without him: 「You'll be unhappy without me.」
The other stimulated the human desire for recognition.
The desire for recognition was one of the strongest emotions learned from birth.
How strong? Humans were animals that craved acknowledgment even from people they hated to death.
If he implanted something like 「Cherish and love me」 in Diana, who hated him enough to vomit, how intense would the backlash be?
Sure, the hypnosis would eventually win,
but no one knew how much her mind would shatter in the process.
That's why this suggestion suited Diana perfectly.
Even hating him.
No—precisely because she hated him, his acknowledgment felt like proof of her own worth.
He could lead her to sex easily, but... better to watch for now.
"Before we start the class, since some of you may be attending my lesson for the first time, allow me to introduce myself.
I am Plenoir, a High Wizard who handles the four elemental magics.
My class is about magic in practice—that is, how to wield magic in real combat. Show me your skills to your heart's content."
How to wield magic in real combat.
That sounded pretty useful.
Wasn't Wolf Rank just right for his current level?
Plenoir continued.
"Magic is an extremely dangerous but fascinating field.
Handled correctly, it becomes a powerful weapon, but even a slight mistake can inflict horrific damage on your allies.
Today, we'll practice landing attack magic precisely in the center of those target boards. Come up one by one."
He watched the other candidates with keen interest.
"Lightning Bolt!"
"Fire Arrow!"
Everyone handled basic magic flawlessly.
He nodded, appraising them.
That casting speed and accuracy wouldn't be possible without proficiency level three, just like him.
He could tell just by watching, thanks to all his practice.
"Hmph."
Diana Vanguard stepped forward with a prim expression.
"Miss Vanguard, as you know, accuracy is key this time."
Plenoir added the explanation, sweating bullets.
"I know.
But is magic without power even worth calling magic? That's not magic—it's just childish play."
Diana extended her hand.
Crackle.
The area darkened briefly, then lightning raced across the ground.
"Lightning Square!"
An advanced form of Lightning Bolt?
But it looked far from precise at first glance.
Could she even control electricity freely?
The doubt was short-lived. Diana perfectly manipulated the bolts to strike three target boards simultaneously.
"Whoa...!"
Exclamations erupted everywhere.
"Amazing!"
"As expected of the Vanguard family's lady."
"To have that level of control at her age..."
"Wasn't it Fireball last time?"
Reactions of admiration came naturally from all around, as if this wasn't her first impressive showing.
Honestly, he was impressed. She wasn't just some spoiled brat.
She clearly stood out among Wolf Rank.
"Impressive as always, Miss Diana. I'll give you 15 points."
"I deserve 20, but... fine, I'll take that."
"Anyone else? If not, we'll go in order..."
That's when his eyes met Plenoir's.
Hmm, he had a bad feeling she was about to call him.
"Mr. Decal. Would you like to try?"
Everyone watched with curious faces.
Diana seemed eager to see the skills of an adventurer-turned-mage she could mock.
No helping it...
He was the goddess's proxy.
It wouldn't be fair to Diana, but going easy would be uncool.
"Fireball."
He stepped forward and cast Fireball with a chant.
He compressed it immediately to shrink its size and veiled it with a membrane of wind to contain the heat.
"Intermediate fire magic!"
"Huh? But it's not hot..."
"No heat at all?"
Diana had hit three targets at once.
Should he try that?
Summoning chantless, compressing... oh right, he'd never done multiples at once.
The wind spirit seemed to struggle a bit.
But three should be manageable.
Confident, he launched the Fireballs at the targets.
"Such a tiny Fireball, I've never even..."
The moment the compressed Fireball hit a target board, a shock jolted through his body.
Boom! Dust exploded upward with the blast.
"Eek!"
"What the hell?"
"Was that really a Fireball...?"
All three hit dead center.
With the spirit's help, the compressed Fireballs were incredibly precise.
If it veered slightly, he could correct the trajectory mid-flight using the spirit.
Maybe once the spirit grew more, he could even curve them.
"Cough! Cough! Candidate Decal, 10 points."
Huh? 10 points?
"Too much power. One target board is cracked. You broke through the protective magic."
Looking again after Plenoir's words, he saw a huge crack in the board he'd hit with the chanted compressed Fireball.
"Your aim was perfect, but you need to control the power. Astonishing fire magic.
Had you not damaged the equipment, I'd have given 30 points."
"Hmm..."
He had no choice but to accept that.
Chantless compression needed careful use.
"Anyone else? Otherwise, come up in order."
"...You do it."
"You first."
No one wanted to go next after him; they just pushed each other.
As he stepped back, Diana glared at him with a frustrated face.
"Decal!"
"Yeah?"
"Don't think you've beaten me with that!"
"......"
No, she actually lost.
He only got 10 points.
"I'll make you acknowledge me, no matter what!"
"With your magic skills?"
"Anything!"
"Didn't you hate me to death?"
"I do hate you to death. But I'm a lady of the Vanguard family. Got it? Know what that means."
No clue.
"It means acknowledgment from a guy like you matters. Understand? Otherwise, why would I bother with trash like you."
"Yeah?"
Conveniently, her burly tag-alongs were gone now.
He decided to provoke Diana on purpose.
"So what if you're from the Vanguard family? You're just a spoiled bitch who grew up without hardship."
"What?"
An insult to her family. Diana couldn't tolerate that.
"Take it back. That remark. I challenge you to a duel here."
"Forgot how you cried begging to cancel the duel while getting your ass spanked?"
"Ugh...! What do you know about my family? About my sister and me."
"Even before magic, as a woman, you're sorely lacking."
"You bastard...!"
Diana clenched her fists, trembling in rage.
Before she could snap and charge, he tossed out a proper lure.
"Well, prove you're not just a bitch, and maybe."
"Prove?"
"Yeah. Then I'll acknowledge you."
"Fine. That's what I wanted. What do I have to do?"
"For starters... kiss me."
"Hah?"
Diana scowled deeply.
"Are you insane? How does that even come up?"
"If you're a proper Vanguard lady, you'd be perfect even in the hidden parts, right?"
"Of course."
"Then satisfy me."
"Why should I..."
Diana hesitated.
"Forget it if you don't want to."
"Fine. I will."
Fire lit in Diana's eyes.
"But if I satisfy you, you acknowledge me."
"Deal."
Clap.
Diana clapped, and the burly guys from earlier swarmed over.
What? A lynching? He tensed slightly, but Diana glared murderously at him with flushed cheeks, then finally spoke.
"You lot. Block us with your bodies.
Make sure no one can see us."
"Yes? Oh, understood."
Diana was serious.
Unaware of how strange her actions were, she bit the sweet bait and approached.
Diana tiptoed up and pecked him on the lips.
Then she looked at him.
"?"
"What? I did it."
No way...
Was she for real?
"W-what. A kiss is lips on lips, right? Isn't it?"
Diana gripped her skirt tight, enduring the shame.
From her expression, she seemed to regret it already.
"That's kid stuff. Chin up."
Diana lifted her head as told.
He kissed her, slipping his tongue in.
"Mmph!"
Diana startled, pursing her lips to block the intrusion, then pulled back hurriedly.
"Y-you psycho? Sticking your filthy tongue in...!"
"Filthy? This is a kiss. If you don't even know that, what were you gonna do?"
"Ugh..."
"The Vanguards need to start over with sex ed. Tsk tsk."
At first, it was just provocation,
but this time it was genuine lament.
A grown virgin not knowing what a kiss is? That's serious.
Diana bit her lip, then approached and kissed him again.
"Smack. Smooch. Kiss..."
Having let go of something, Diana actively sucked his lips and tongue.
She was so eager it was hard to keep up, but it felt good.
He sucked her lower lip, tangled tongues, and swapped saliva thickly.
"Smooch. Slurp. Slurp."
But...
It's more natural to close eyes during a kiss.
Diana glared daggers at him while meticulously sucking his lips and tongue.
Damn... what to call this. You hate me, but you kiss properly. That it?
Still, sucking the tongue she called filthy so eagerly showed she desperately craved his acknowledgment.
"Better..."
He muttered, and Diana flinched.
Her eyes slightly unfocused, she immersed herself in the kiss.
Her perky breasts pressed against him. Bodies tight, his dick poked firmly against her.
Diana didn't avoid it—instead, she sucked his tongue with wet smacks and asked in a sweet voice.
"How much? How good was it?"
"Pretty good. But..."
He placed a hand on Diana's ass.
"W-what are you doing...!"
"Foreplay. A kiss includes all this loving touch."
"......"
He opened his mouth.
"Now, kiss again."
"......"
Diana hesitated,
"I really hate trash like you..."
Then came at him with another deep kiss.
"Smooch. Smooch. Mwah. Kiss. Smooch. Smooch."
He kneaded Diana's ass softly.
So soft and squishy. Should he praise her more?
"Seductive kiss. Nice?"
"Heh... of course."
"Are you happy about it?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Smooch. Mwaaah. This is punishment for insulting my family♥ You see how good I kiss now? Acknowledge it. Admit my kiss felt good. Smooch. Lick... Mwah."
"Yeah. I acknowledge it."
"Ah, aaah..."
Diana squeezed her thighs, letting out sweet breaths.
She must have felt honey-sweet pleasure—seemed like a light climax.
"A kiss any man would fall for. Can we do more?"
"Hmph. Smooch. No helping it... since I'm good at kissing. I'll allow it."
He sucked Diana's tongue and lips with wet smacks, drooling saliva into her.
Diana swallowed his spit, clinging even tighter.
Her glaring eyes softening bit by bit was alluring.
They kept devouring each other with kisses.
Diana was even more passionate than him.
As if begging for more praise, more acknowledgment.
Unaware that desire had no end or satisfaction, she kept sinking deeper.
"Not sure if you've satisfied me yet..."
"What...? I even kissed like this, and swallowed so much of your spit. Still not enough?"
"Kiss was good. But a man needs to cum to call it satisfying."
"...That's."
Impossible.
A strong rejection reflex probably kicked in.
He covered Diana's defenseless lips and kissed again.
"Mmph. Smooch. Mwah."
Diana reflexively kissed back, letting him knead her ass.
"You want my acknowledgment?"
"Y-yeah..."
"Then."
"N-no. If I get knocked up by trash like you, I'll die of shame."
She didn't know kisses but had basic education at least.
"Just cum outside."
He pressed against her like a thug.
"Cum outside... and no pregnancy?"
"Nope."
He lied shamelessly.
He said outside but planned to cum inside,
and even outside wasn't pregnancy-proof.
But Diana seemed to buy it easily.
"With Diana's pretty pussy, it'd feel amazing for sure. You're a Vanguard lady, right?"
"Y-yeah, obviously. No way trash like you lasts even a moment."
Diana wriggled her hips happily, sucking his tongue with wet smacks.
Now what.
She was almost there, but even with hypnosis, full sex in this open field was too much.
Call her to his room? No, too many enforcers to fool.
Use 「Veil of Concealment」 to hide? Or meet outside entirely? That seemed best.
As he pondered options, Diana sucked his tongue and said.
"Smooch. Mwah. I'll figure out a safe way to fuck you. Wait till then."
"...No, just outside..."
"Smoooch. Mwah. ...Shut up."
Diana claimed his lips possessively as she spoke.
"I know what trash like you thinks. I'll prepare.
Brace yourself. I'll make you admit my pussy is the best in the world.
Then you withdraw all the family insults and apologize in tears. Got it?"
"Got it."
Diana's momentum was fiercer than expected; he barely held back laughter as he replied.
Diana slowly pulled away, snapped the long saliva string with her finger, and smirked mockingly at him.
