Academy's Number One Instructor (1)
Ardena Valencia. Among the twelve warrior captains, she held four seats as one of the Elf Kingdom's powerhouses. Even before becoming a captain, she'd gained fame through her "Invincible Oath."
Her bright golden hair shone like sunlight, paired with emerald eyes more beautiful than any gem. High elf nobles showered her with praise, calling her the "Jewel of the Elf Kingdom" and the "Proud Sword of Valencia." Her stunning looks and swordsmanship were unmatched.
"About Lady Ardena?"
"She's incredibly strong! Marriage proposals from prestigious families never stop pouring in!"
The maids chattered excitedly. Yushin had asked about Ardena, but he hadn't expected the answer to drag on for a full thirty minutes.
"They say she received a divine relic directly from the High Priestess."
"Divine relic?"
He echoed the maid's words, curiosity piqued.
"The armor Lady Ardena wears."
"Ah, the armor..."
Yushin nodded. During their fierce duel, he'd seen her armor erupt in brilliant light, her power surging dramatically. That must be the divine relic.
He'd heard of them before—the five divine relics wielded by the founder of the Liberia Elf Kingdom. Ardena's armor was surely one of them.
"Lady Ardena's armor can only be worn by a pure virgin. It enhances the wearer's abilities, blocks external shocks, and when it senses danger to its owner, it manifests a 'certain miracle.'"
The maid knew it all, as expected from someone who'd served Ardena for years. But her overly chatty mouth spilled even things she shouldn't say in front of Yushin—after all, since the family head had acknowledged him, she saw him as one of the Valencias.
"A virginity detector...? That sounds super useful."
It must be embarrassing. What a lame restriction for such powerful armor. It was basically screaming, "I'm a virgin!" A sad tale for a 320-year-old still holding onto her purity.
"Yushin Gilliard."
Ardena approached. The maids scattered like spiders, as if they'd been caught red-handed. Thanks to that, Yushin ended up walking side-by-side with her in the castle corridor.
"Father seems to have taken a liking to you."
"Enough to invite me to dinner. Who'd have thought he'd share a meal with a human? He must be thrilled with his second daughter's growth."
"Alonne is the Valencia family's youngest daughter. It's only natural."
"If that youngest flops her graduation exam, her teacher—me—might get the boot too. So yeah, I've gotta drill her hard no matter what."
"I'll cheer you on. And I'll help with anything I can."
As Ardena pledged her support, Yushin's gaze drifted to the armor she wore. Maybe he could ask about it—just the name should be fine.
"That armor, though."
"Uh, y-yes...!"
What a cute reaction. Her usually stoic face flushed red in an instant at his question.
"It looks insanely powerful. Gotta have a name, right? I'm just curious about that."
"It's the White Lily Scale."
"It flashed every time you took a hit. Healed wounds, boosted your stats. Fighting you with that thing felt kinda unfair, honestly."
"That duel was my defeat. Even if I'd barely won, I'd have accepted it."
Ardena placed a hand on her chest. With no golden hair cascading to her waist, the elegant elf warrior captain declared her stance with dignified poise, showing no room for argument on the duel’s outcome.
Her demeanor sparked a playful urge in him. To lighten the sudden tension, he set a trap using what he'd heard from the maids.
"Armor that OP must have some crazy restriction. Big power always comes with a price. I'm dying to know the qualification to wield it."
"Q-qualification... you mean...?"
Ardena's face burned tomato-red with heat. It looked ready to burst. This was a far cry from her usual icy demeanor.
She clearly didn't want to say it—her lips twitched uselessly as she stalled. Her trembling gaze suggested she couldn't utter it herself.
"Ah, actually, I heard already."
"Heard what... exactly?"
"From the maids just now. Only pure virgins can wear it. Impressive—armor no one would dare steal."
"Eek!"
It was just like Alonne's bratty whine. The little miss let out an "Eek!" when tongue-tied, and now her big sister matched her perfectly.
Yushin burst out chuckling. The Valencia elf sisters were just too adorable.
"H-how dare a mere slave...!"
Ardena's shame-flushed face roared loud enough to shake Valencia Castle.
A letter arrived from Bria Academy. Naturally, it was for Alonne Valencia, the student.
Starting tomorrow, intensive special classes will begin to prepare for the graduation exam.
Attendance is mandatory.
Alonne hated academy life, so this was torture for her. After reading the letter, she scowled like she'd swallowed rat poison.
"I don't wanna go to the academy! I can just learn from Master, right? Honestly, Master's way better than those academy teachers!"
Alonne yelled. Through her antics, Yushin finally understood why Korea's public education always lost to private tutoring.
"Bria Academy trains the future talents of the Elf Kingdom. I've told you attendance scores matter."
Ardena and Alonne's father, Wallace Valencia, was a Bria graduate, as was Ardena. It'd be a joke if a Valencia lady—known for producing top graduates—failed due to poor attendance.
Wallace persuaded her as gently as possible.
"Fine, I'll go."
"Thank you."
"But Master comes too."
"Hm?"
Alonne's gaze turned to him, followed by Wallace's. Father and daughter stared holes into Yushin's face.
"The academy strictly controls outsiders."
"But attendants serving students are fine. The rules allow it."
"Hmph!"
Leave it to the academy delinquent to know every loophole. Wallace swallowed hard.
Seeing her father's conflict, Alonne drove the wedge home.
"If Master teaches me on the side at the academy, I'll improve faster, right? I'm not asking for personal service—just lessons there too."
It felt like she just wanted a friend at school. Yushin bit back a grin. He knew the loneliness of having zero friends well enough. Shared pain.
Bria Academy admitted only high elf noble heirs. He was curious to see it.
"What do you think, Sir Slave?"
Wallace asked. Yushin considered protesting the nickname but let it slide—too much hassle.
"Not a bad idea. I've wanted to tour the academy anyway."
"Take good care of her."
"Yes, sir."
Yushin used casual speech with Ardena and Alonne but formal with Wallace, the family head and a major political player in Liberia. You don't mess with power—Yushin had learned that the hard way in Valua.
"One condition."
"What?"
"Let me meet my comrades. I hear they're in Santander Forest."
"Santander... Fine, I'll send word. With the Valencia name, they won't refuse."
Wallace promised. Ardena had said a week, but Yushin couldn't wait. He wanted to see his enslaved subordinates with his own eyes.
Yushin Gilliard's subordinates had been bought by Bilen Santander. How had they fared?
Contrary to elves' expectations of revenge on them for losing Yushin, Bilen treated the Valua slaves lavishly.
"Say ahh."
"I-I can feed myself..."
"My hands hurt♡"
"I'll eat."
They received tender service from Santander Castle's elf maids—meals, baths, even bedtime duties. Maids included elves, half-elves, humans, and beastkin with animal ears.
The catgirl maids' purring cuddles melted the men's hearts like ice in summer.
"Guh, grrr! S-sis!!"
"Hee-hee, weak spot, right? Take this, and this!"
A busty elf maid rode him, shaking her hips wildly. The human soldier groaned. A noble-specialized maid's technique was beyond a soldier's endurance.
Her pussy milked him relentlessly—a peerless instrument squeezing every drop. Yushin's adjutant, Isana, had fallen long ago.
"Squirt it all out, nice and fresh. My pussy's here for your bedtime service, you handsome blond hunk with that massive cock♡"
"Gaaah!"
*Splurt, splurt, splurt, splurt.*
Semen gushed fiercely, filling the elf maid's womb. Her pussy clenched hard, determined to wring out even the dregs from his urethra.
The voracious cunt toyed with his cock like a plaything. The virgin blond youth lost his innocence to the seductive maid-sis's charms.
"I heard you're Lieutenant to Valua's Kingdom's Seven Swords, Yushin Gilliard? Must be your talent that got you there."
"I-I'm embarrassed..."
"Impregnating us elves with superior genes like yours is our sacred duty. That's how we've lived, and how we always will."
The elf maid giggled. Isana, after repeated creampies into beauties, stared blankly.
She placed a hand on his belly.
"Clean up quick. Your boss is coming. The family head said to inform you."
"W-why not warn me sooner..."
"I wanted to see you panic♡"
The elf maid grinned slyly. Word spread to the others—they were probably rushing to finish with their maids and wash up to meet their captain.
Bilen regretted missing Yushin but settled for his elite Valua troops as a consolation. A profit-savvy merchant like him wouldn't let such talent slip away.
