Points, and a Promise

Kyle walked out like nothing had happened, and for a second it threw me—but I realized soon enough that it wasn't nothing at all.

Yeah, no chance that worthless little shit walked away in a good mood. It was just the usual spineless waffling you get from an NTR protagonist. So this is how the points come in. Honestly, the scene fit rubbing it in his face better than classic NTR, so I hadn't expected anything—I really hadn't thought I'd get points like this. Then again, what mattered was Kyle's feelings, so maybe the distinction didn't matter. Either way, two points put me in a fine mood.

"Let's go, Arian."

"Okaaay♡"

What was her problem now? We hadn't even done anything, and she was already acting strange. Don't tell me she liked doing it outside. If that was her taste, I wasn't going to be able to indulge it.

I didn't know what had gotten into her, but I took her along and we headed for the room.

"Leon, Leon, hurry, hurry!"

I'd promised her that if she did me a favor, I'd give her something fun in return. All she'd needed to do was play along a little. Whether she had a gift for acting or not, she'd gone further than I'd planned, and thanks to that I'd gotten the points. Now it was time to keep the promise.

"Um, Leon?"

"What is it?"

"We definitely said we were going to do something fun, right?"

"You saying being with me isn't fun?"

"No, no, not that. It's just—no matter how you look at it, reading this book is a little far from fun, don't you think?"

Arian said it while pointing at the book in my hands.

From the dormitories and their thousands of rooms, to the magic that barred outsiders, to how an academy of more than a hundred thousand was built and kept running—it was all in there. A grimoire written by Avalon herself, the one who had designed and raised this academy. An extraordinary book, and only enrolled students could read it.

"Where else are you going to find something as fun as a book ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠this incredible? You're a mage too, Arian. Read it once and it'll help you."

"Th-that might be true, but right now I want to do something a little more fun!"

She planted those breasts, fit to burst, right on top of the book and hit me with everything she had. For a second I nearly lost my head and put my hands on them. I held back, barely. It was a hard temptation to refuse, sure, but once we started, the stamina drain was brutal. Let lust pickle your brain even once and studying turned impossible too. Plenty of reasons I couldn't do it right now.

"We've got time. We'll do it later, tonight."

"Do it now! You said you'd give me a reward, so then do it twice—come on!"

Until yesterday Arian had been a virgin, but sex must have agreed with her, because she wasn't backing down. She even shoved the breasts I liked right up in my face to tempt me. I pushed her off without hesitation and went back to the book. That was rough.

A hard temptation to beat. In the first loop I'd been too busy keeping up with class and building my stamina to read a treasure like this. We simply hadn't started real lessons yet. Once classes began in earnest, there wouldn't be time to lounge around like—

"Hey, Arian?"

"Mm?"

"What do you think you're doing?"

"What! You told me to read, so I'm reading hard, aren't I?"

Right where my eyes landed, she was lying there in nothing but panties and a dress shirt. There was a book in her hands, yes. Anyone looking would still have called it a signal aimed straight at me.

"You're a grown woman, Arian. You can wait, can't you?"

"You told me to wait, and I haven't nagged you once. Why are you being like this all by yourself?"

She had the nerve to play innocent, tugging at the panties stuck tight to her skin and showing off that generous ass.

"Fine. I get it."

I turned my head and focused on the book again. The opening page covered how the academy had been designed, and even to another mage it was fascinating.

"Leon, at least drink some milk while you read."

"Oh. Thanks."

Arian doing something praiseworthy, for once. I took the milk gladly—and found it strangely warm. No way she'd heated it in a microwave, or with magic. Wait. I hadn't even bought milk and put it in the magic storage—the refrigerator—in the first place.

Instead of drinking, I turned to look at Arian, supposedly reading. She must have felt my eyes. She turned her head.

"Wh-what now?"

"Arian. You sure you're reading the same Avalon's Secret Magic I am?"

"O-of course I am!"

She wasn't even managing the lie. Her voice shook on every ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠single word.

"Then tell me what kind of magic is on page three. If you don't remember, you can look it up."

"Th-the part about making a magic storage..."

"Wrong. Page three is an illustration! What book are you even looking at?"

She scrambled to hide it. I was on her in a second, and the cover under her hands was red.

"What the hell is this?"

"Th-that's..."

I gave her a sharp scolding—never read trash like this again—and took the book right out of her hands.

"Leon, please, give me that book back, at least!"

She wept as if I'd stolen a family heirloom. I ignored her cleanly and went back to my seat. Where does she even get books like this? I set it aside and focused on mine again.

About two hours passed like that, and for a solid hour of it I couldn't turn the page. This is way too hard. True to Avalon, the greatest mage in history—the ideas and the magic were astonishing, and they also split my head. I didn't think I could crack it with what I knew. Next time I ran into Vivian...

Then a line of text appeared in front of my eyes.

The protagonist of this game, as expected. A little exercise, and he casually raised the bracket other people killed themselves to climb.

"Oh?"

Auto-hunting. Absolute jackpot. An unexpected haul, and the admiration came out of me on its own. His stats probably wouldn't rise every single time Kyle trained, but this was plenty good enough. I took all five Stat Points I had—the two I'd just picked up included—and dumped every one of them into Vigor.

"Fuck. You're dead, Arian."

"Huh? I wasn't asleep!"

Arian hastily wiped the drool off her face, then looked at me with trembling eyes at the sudden death sentence. Right in front of her, a cock swollen to its limit.

"L-Leon, this..."

"I can't study at all because of you, Arian."

The moment she saw me hard, she couldn't tear her eyes away. Still, I figured this much at least put me around average. A long way from the size I actually wanted, though. Unlike Arian the mage, the swordswomen and the women built for tank positions had stamina to spare, incredible bodies, and appetites that weren't normal. To handle them, I needed to upgrade the hardware itself. Twenty centimeters or so? Either way, the one I had to deal with right now was the Arian in front of me.

But starting like this feels a little off. Thinking it over again, it rubbed me wrong—a woman nagging for it when the man wasn't even ready. I didn't feel like just giving it to her.

"Leon, I'm ready."

We hadn't done a thing, and she pulled her own panties off and showed me a pussy soaked through. Wet with her juices, it was definitely ready.

"Now that I think about it, I don't think I'm ready yet. Want to help me out, Arian?"

"Mmm..."

She'd been touching herself, putting on a show like she wanted it in right now. Looking disappointed, she lifted herself a little.

"Then suck this first."

"Y-you want me to suck this?"

Until yesterday she'd been a virgin. ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠She had never once put a cock in her mouth. Sure, in the handful of dirty manga she'd actually seen, people did that sort of thing—but that only worked because it was manga, didn't it?

"Seriously?"

Leon didn't answer. He'd already said his piece. Whether she accepted or refused was entirely up to Arian.

She hesitated a little. Lust had her, though, and in the end she went to her knees and took hold of his cock.

"If I suck this, you'll put it in, right?"

"Yeah."

Arian gripped the shaft in her right hand and set her lips to the head that jutted out, licking. Lick. Lick. She worked diligently from the tip. No experience, clearly—it was less a blowjob than eating a big stick of candy, smearing spit here and there. Still, watching her suck a cock with her own mouth just so she could get it inside her was a good view. Smack. Suck. Suck.

After wetting it a few times she must have gotten worked up. Her free left hand slid down, fingers pushing into her pussy, rubbing. The smell she'd been giving off since she started tempting me spread even thicker through the room. She'd only poked ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠at herself a few times, and already the scent of her slick was in the air.

"Aahn...♡"

I hadn't even touched her, and she was already gushing and coming. Wasn't that a little too sensitive, even for her?

"Who told you you could come on your own?"

I said it while pushing her face back. I hadn't even gotten to enjoy myself, and she'd finished from masturbating alone. What kind of manners was that?

"Suck— s-sorry. I was sucking your cock and I just... I didn't mean to. I-I'll focus and suck it properly, so please don't be mad."

Suck, suck, suck. She went at it desperately. Maybe the guilt got to her—this time she even took a little of the shaft into her mouth, putting in real effort.

"We'll be here forever at this rate. Enough. Crawl to the bed."

"Okaaay♡"

Delighted, she stood right up.

"Arian?"

"Yeah?"

"I definitely told you to crawl, didn't I?"

"C-crawl?"

She stared at me with eyes that looked ready to pop out, as if she couldn't believe it.

"So you did hear me."

"Do I really have to?"

"You kept me from studying. Shouldn't you take at least that much responsibility?"

Pride wouldn't allow it, apparently. She glared at me, making it plain she couldn't do such a thing. If a glare were enough to change an order, I wouldn't have given it in the first place.

"Ugh, Leon, you're awful!"

She made a show of hating every second of it, and still she dropped to her knees, shook her ass, and started crawling forward. Every time she moved, that ass swayed, lush and tempting. So lush I wanted to go over and shove it in right then. I swallowed hard and held the urge down.

"D-do I really have to do it like this?"

She'd crawled all of three steps, and already she was embarrassed enough to turn her head and look at me.

"Of course."

At first I'd only meant to tease her for being a brat and leave it there. But there was a nasty thrill in it, and more than anything, I was way too turned on.
