First Training, Secret Signals, and a Night of Rewards (1)
The day of the new student welcome combat training arrived, and Tusma gathered with the other first-year students at the forest entrance near the academy. Most of the students, who were children of nobility, had dressed to the nines in expensive magical equipment and flashy attire. In comparison, Tusma's outfit looked utterly shabby. Even the commoner clothes Inrohi had gotten for him seemed like rags among them.
"Hey, did you see the roster? There's a lowly commoner in this class."
At that moment, one of the nobles pointed at the magical roster displayed as a holographic screen. The list showed each participant's photo, name, and social status. Naturally... Tusma's status as a commoner was clearly visible.
"Hah, that commoner brat is actually participating in the training? He'd better hope he doesn't just end up as monster food."
"He must be here for the scholarship. Doesn't even know his place."
"Hahaha!"
The noble students openly mocked and looked down on Tusma. Their expressions made it clear they found it downright unpleasant that someone like him dared to occupy the same space as them.
Inrohi watched Tusma from a distance with a look of pity on her face. But in front of others, she couldn't offer him any help. She could only hope he would safely complete the training and prove his abilities.
"It's time. It looks like this is everyone participating."
Suddenly, the air split open and a portal appeared, from which an incredibly beautiful woman emerged.
"Whoa! Portal magic?!"
"Professor-level mages are on another level..."
"When am I going to learn something like that...?"
Under everyone's gaze, the beautiful female professor—who seemed to be in charge of this training—clapped her hands to draw their attention. Although this was called a magic academy, the instructors were referred to as professors because the institution was essentially a university in all but name. As a result, those teaching the classes were either graduates of the academy or renowned professors invited from outside. If this place had been officially renamed a university instead of an academy, someone like Tusma—a commoner—wouldn't even have been allowed through the gates. In that sense, it was fortunate for him that it still carried the name of an academy.
"Since this is your first time, shall I introduce myself?"
She had beautiful long pink hair and emerald eyes that sparkled like jewels. A stunning professor with an voluptuous chest and a figure that curved perfectly in all the right places.
"My name is Lurua Seinsti."
At those words, not only the noble students but even Inrohi looked shocked.
Oh my god... The legendary Lurua Seinsti?
She was famous enough that even Tusma, a commoner, knew her name. Though she appeared to be a twenty-year-old beauty on the outside, the actual age of the 'Great Sage Lurua Seinsti,' known as having reached the 'pinnacle of magic,' was a staggering 2,200 years old.
Her achievements were dazzling. Originally a commoner, Lurua had been called the 'Great Sage Hero' for single-handedly defeating the Demon King during her adventurer days. At the age of one hundred, she founded the empire's magic academy and became its first headmistress.
According to the history books, it started out as a tiny little magic school that you might find in any village...
Once word spread that it had been established by the Great Sage Hero who slew the Demon King, it was only natural that people flocked to it. As a result, the academy was forced to expand every year. Instructors of professor caliber applied one after another, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a world-class university-level magic academy.
In recognition of those achievements, the commoner-born Headmistress Lurua was granted the rank of 1-star noble and entered the ranks of the aristocracy. As academy graduates began making significant contributions to the empire, her peerage continued to rise arbitrarily in honor of her role in nurturing talent.
Another hundred years after founding the academy, she had grown tired of the endless paperwork.
Hah... I didn't build this academy just to deal with this annoying paperwork every day.
By then the academy had grown so large that Lurua, now a 5-star noble, had grown sick of stamping documents all day.
Alright. I'm quitting.
It was a rather famous anecdote that Lurua had resigned as headmistress and unilaterally dumped the position of second headmaster onto a professor who happened to be walking down the hallway at the time.
After that, in order to return to the hobby she had originally wanted to pursue, she remained at the academy as an honorary professor. For the past 2,000 years, she had only taught classes when she felt like it. And in recognition of her total contribution of 2,100 years to the empire's magic academy, her current peerage was...
...The pinnacle of nobility—a 20-star grand noble.
She had risen from commoner to become a 20-star grand noble, second only to the emperor and kings. She was quite literally a living legend.
She's truly an incredible woman.
Tusma swallowed hard without realizing it.
If I could make a woman like that mine... how amazing would that be?
She was the kind of heavenly being that a commoner like him shouldn't even dream of. Yet thanks to Inrohi, Tusma had already fulfilled his dream of having sex with a princess, and now he found himself harboring even greater desires.
Really, the more I look at her, the more her body screams pure sex.
Honorary Professor Lurua looked impossibly young for her 2,200 years. The influence of magic had halted her aging at twenty. As a result, over the centuries her youthful body had only accumulated a rich, mature sensuality. She was literally a walking embodiment of lewdness.
Her soft, bouncy-looking F-cup breasts and sexy hips. Her waist and neck were so slender they made you want to wrap your arms around her from behind.
I've heard rumors she never married... Well, who would dare propose to a 20-star noble and Great Sage Hero?
It was said that Lurua Seinsti, who had reached the pinnacle of magic, possessed power on at least a national level. After all, she had charged straight through the Demon King's army alone and defeated him. And that had happened over 2,100 years ago.
She's obviously grown far stronger in magic since then. She's quite literally... the perfect wife material, isn't she?
Just thinking about it made Tusma's massive member twitch slightly in response. He'd been staring at the body of the legendary and incredibly sexy Professor Lurua for too long, and now it was starting to get hard.
"...Hm?"
At that moment, Professor Lurua's gaze, which had been sweeping over the students, happened to land on Tusma. Her eyes started at his face and slowly traveled downward.
"......???"
She finally noticed the slight bulge of his hardening cock subtly asserting its presence on his thigh beneath his pants.
Shit, she saw me getting hard!
Tusma felt a cold sweat break out as he desperately tried to stop it from getting any harder. He was worried that Professor Lurua would find him disgusting and expel him from the academy.
But that didn't happen.
Instead, she simply stared intently at the faint outline of Tusma's massive cock pressing against his thigh.
What the...? Why is she staring at my dick like that?
The thought that this beautiful woman was watching his cock get hard made the erection he'd been trying to suppress surge back to life.
And then, eventually...
Twitch!
Tusma couldn't hold back any longer. Blood rushed into his member, causing his cock to jerk slightly.
Startled!!
Professor Lurua's eyes widened in shock. Her face flushed bright red as she exclaimed,
"That wasn't a magic wand?! What is that size?!"
From her reaction, it seemed she hadn't realized at all that the thing protruding from Tusma's thigh was his cock. She'd apparently been staring at it intently, wondering why he had a wand hidden against his thigh.
"Professor?"
"Why is she acting like that?"
When the surrounding students began looking at her strangely, Professor Lurua panicked and quickly turned her head away.
"Ahem, pay it no mind. There was simply surprising information in a magical alert that only I can see."
Professor Lurua hastily made up an excuse. After clearing her throat, she continued the class as if nothing had happened.
"Ahem! In any case. This new student welcome training also serves as a class. First of all, the fact that you've all gathered here shows that you possess courage."
"Excuse me, Professor."
At that moment, one of the female students raised her hand. She looked at Tusma with a mocking smile and pointed her finger at him. Thanks to that, everyone's eyes turned toward Tusma, but by a hair's breadth, his now-softened cock no longer showed any noticeable bulge in his pants.
"Looking at the participant list, it seems there's a commoner here who doesn't belong, doesn't it?"
She was a young woman, though her appearance suggested she was slightly older. While this magic academy allowed adults to enroll immediately, she seemed to have joined a bit late, perhaps due to a lack of magical talent.
"Having to take classes with such a lowly thing... I don't think I can concentrate with that commoner stench in the air."
At those words, the surrounding nobles snickered. Even some commoners could be seen laughing. There was nothing to be done about it. Tusma was the lowest of the low—a commoner. The commoners themselves held higher status than him, so they treated him accordingly.
Professor Lurua, having heard the nobles' words, narrowed her eyes and replied,
"Is that so? In that case, since you're causing a disturbance, you should leave the class."
"......"
At Professor Lurua's words, Tusma lowered his head in defeat. He never imagined his lowest social status would prevent him from even attending class. The future suddenly looked bleak.
The others began to laugh at him. Tusma quietly turned around, preparing to leave.
At that moment...
"...Hm? Why are you leaving?"
At Professor Lurua's voice, Tusma froze in place.
"Pardon? You just said I was causing a disturbance and should leave..."
"Yes, I said to leave because you're causing a disturbance. I was referring to that insolent bitch who dared to interrupt me while I was speaking."
As she said this, the person Professor Lurua pointed at with her finger was none other than...
The noblewoman who had mocked him for smelling like a commoner.
"Get out of my training class immediately, you foolish wench."
