Chapter 102. Weekend
"It didn't even look like mana exhaustion, so why did you forfeit?"
"Hmm..."
How the hell am I supposed to answer that?
From Baek A-Young's point of view, of course she'd be curious. A guy with no injuries came in on a stretcher.
And I forfeited in the finals, so I definitely needed a solid excuse.
"Uh... well."
But how could I explain it?
I couldn't exactly say, 'Nam Daeun had her reasons for needing first place, so I let her win.'
"Just... I had my reasons. I'm sorry."
That was the best excuse I could offer.
I couldn't reveal my situation, and rather than fumble my way through and cause suspicion later, it felt better to be honest.
Baek A-Young looked at me for a moment, then gave a small smile.
"Okay. Just make sure you tell me later."
"...Thanks, A-Young."
"No problem. Everyone has their circumstances."
Thankfully, Baek A-Young let it slide without pressing me.
"Ahem. So, the finals are over... what now?"
She casually placed her hand on me as she asked.
Unfortunately, I had an appointment with Professor Im Sol today.
"I've got plans. I need to go."
"Ah, I see..."
She looked a bit disappointed, but it couldn't be helped.
"See you at the orphanage this weekend. Saturday okay?"
"Yeah, yeah. Message me."
I left the infirmary behind and headed out.
It was a bit frustrating not getting first place, but at least I'd stabilized Nam Daeun's mental state.
I'd just have to work harder to raise her affection.
I messaged Im Sol that I was on my way and headed to the Mage Tower.
*
The Mage Tower—where the magic professors' research labs were clustered.
Im Sol's influence was immense, with the entire second floor to herself.
So much so that there were guys working in four shifts just to catch her on her way out.
"Those idiots are still at it."
The Mana Research Division.
The same bunch who told me it'd be impossible to get close to Professor Im Sol.
Even though I was already in a 'close' relationship with her, they were still there endlessly waiting with snacks.
Looks like that guy Kim Hyundo or whatever isn't here. Must've switched out for rest.
Anyway, their constant stares whenever I arrived were getting old.
"Hello. Here to see Professor Im Sol again today?"
"Yeah, that's right."
I'd been coming here so often, even the receptionist knew my face.
"You're signed in. You can go up."
"Thanks for your help."
I took the elevator up to the second floor and saw the familiar research room.
"Professor~. I'm here."
"Mm, have a seat over there."
Im Sol set down the magical device she'd been fiddling with and sat across from me.
I settled onto the sofa and poured myself a cup of coffee.
Premium instant coffee in a fancy pot.
"You collapsed in the finals and you're already here? Is your body alright?"
"Yeah. I'm okay. Just a light mana exhaustion."
"Still, it's a shame. You almost had it."
"Well, it's done. I'm trying to forget about it. Have you finished grading the written exams?"
The massive stack of test papers was gone.
"Of course not. But I've got plenty of time next week, so I'll do it then."
"Ah..."
Next week was the final test of midterms—the survival exam.
Of course, it was a secret only the professors knew.
"I could help you, if you'd like."
"No, it's fine. I don't want to burden you more."
Huh? Im Sol was suddenly being unusually kind.
Is being nice to me some kind of trend now?
She wasn't the type to work this hard before...

"...?"
Her affection score just jumped 10 points.
I mean, great for me... but both Elise and Im Sol? I don't get it.
She thinks I forfeited because I was overwhelmed... did she catch on?
Munch.
Im Sol was sipping coffee while nibbling on chocolate cake.
'Maybe not.'
The table was full of cream buns, chocolate horns, and other pastries.
Did the Mana Research guys bring them?
"By the way, those research guys I mentioned... they're still coming every day? I saw them outside."
"You mean the ones who bring snacks? Yeah. When you're not around, I take theirs."
So that's why they always glare at me.
On the days I came, Im Sol didn't take their offerings.
"Why don't you take them when I come?"
"Well... when you're here, I don't need sugar."
"Ahem..."
When she says stuff like that so boldly, I can't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Hoyeon, you've got my contact info, right?"
Im Sol suddenly asked something out of nowhere.
"...? Yeah. Of course I do."
"If anyone ever bothers you... tell me."
"???"
What the hell is up with her all of a sudden?
Im Sol looked at me with the same warmth I'd seen in my own eyes when I was taking care of Moon Surin.
We need to protect her… I don't know what's going on.
"First of all… thank you."
"I'm serious. Take it to heart."
"Yep. Understood!"
"Alright then. Take off your pants."
"What?"
Before I knew it, Im Sol was kneeling in front of my crotch.
"Professor, you don't have to work on your magic research today?"
"No. I called you over because you worked hard on the practical exam."
"Professor Im Sol…! Um, may I call you noona?"
"No."
As if it were second nature, Im Sol unzipped my pants and pulled out my dick, taking a sniff as usual.
"Sniff, haah…"
"Professor, that's really embarrassing…"
The feel of Im Sol's breath against my balls was pleasant, but too embarrassing.
"Got it. I'll cut back. Sniff…"
"Ugh."
The moment Im Sol knelt down, my dick was already standing at attention like Pavlov's dog.
The warm sensation of her lips and tongue wrapping around my dick felt great.
Slowly swallowing it, Im Sol drove my dick deep into her mouth, looking incredibly erotic.
Since I always received fellatio from Im Sol, I couldn't push my dick deep into her throat like I did with other heroines.
But today, it felt like it was going in even deeper.
Maybe it was a bit too much, as her eyes turned slightly red, but Im Sol didn't stop teasing my dick.
"Slurp… suck… kiss."
After all the intense battles today and with the stress from exams easing up, I felt the urge to cum building fast.
When her soft tongue licked the shaft and stimulated the tip, I couldn't hold back anymore.
"Professor, I'm going to cum…!"
"Mmm, gulp. Smack."
Hearing me say I was about to cum, Im Sol moved her head back and forth, stimulating my dick even more.
Gripping the armrests of the chair tightly, I shuddered and ejaculated into Im Sol's mouth.
Instead of swallowing it down like she usually did, Im Sol gathered the semen in her mouth and continued sucking.
"Slurp."
Removing her mouth from my dick, she let the semen drip into a cream bread on the table.
"I thought of this before you came. I wondered if it would taste even better like this."
The sticky, white semen-filled bread went into Im Sol's mouth.
"Hmm, adding something tasty to something else tasty doesn't make it better. It's too much."
Yet Im Sol still ate the semen-covered cream bread.
Watching that made my dick harden again.
"… Want me to go again?"
Im Sol smiled like an older sister taking care of her needy younger brother.
"Yes… please."
Im Sol usually only did it once, so her offering to go again was proof she called me over because I'd worked hard.
Well, if she's offering, I'll gladly accept. A man's instincts can't be denied.
"I can't help it… huh?"
Just before burying her head in my crotch, Im Sol suddenly looked toward the window.
"What's wrong?"
"I must be imagining things… No, I think I've just been on edge lately."
Tilting her head, Im Sol returned her mouth to my dick.
*
Im Sol really just gave me a blowjob and sent me on my way.
I had planned to help with her magic research, but she only told me to rest up for next week.
Was she keeping quiet about the survival test? Is that why she's acting like this?
I returned to the dormitory earlier than usual.
Ding-
As I opened the door and entered, I heard Liliana's voice.
"It's me~! You guys know what games are, right?"
I'd come back earlier than usual, so the broadcast wasn't over yet.
"Hold on~ I'll be right back after using the restroom!"
As I was undressing from my cadet uniform to take a shower, Liliana rushed out of the room.
"You're back?! How did your one-on-one duel go today?"
"Liliana, I didn't take first place."
"Geez, acting all tough and now look at you."
As usual, Liliana was dressed provocatively for her broadcast.
I hugged her as she tried to head to the restroom, slipping my hand onto her chest.
"Eek! What are you doing all of a sudden?!"
As my hand slipped onto her chest, Liliana was startled and started hitting my arm.
"I'm so sad I didn't take first place. Cheer me up."
I always felt like something was missing after meeting with Professor Im Sol.
Blowjobs were nice, but without going all the way, I still craved a woman's warm touch.
But look, a succubus was right at home. This had to be fate.
"Ugh, can we do it after dinner?"
"No."
Pouting even more, I teased Liliana's nipples as I tormented her.
"Fine, let me just turn off the broadcast first… master…"
Well, the broadcast needs to be off, of course.
I'm a man who knows how to separate work from pleasure. I released Liliana's chest from my grasp.
"Guys, that's all for today's stream. No, it's not an emergency. Don't say gross things. It's just a personal matter. Thank you for watching."
'I wonder if they'd know that the "personal matter" I mentioned was my upcoming orgasm.'
I lay down on the bed, waiting for Liliana.
After turning off the broadcast, Liliana approached me and lay down quietly beside me.
Squish, squish.
Liliana's pussy was already soaking wet.
"You've been ready all along."
"T-this happens just by looking at you, master… I'm sorry…"
Neither of us needed foreplay.
When she looked into my eyes, Liliana must have understood I wanted to go straight to it. She spread her legs, pulling her labia apart with both hands.
Liliana's tightly closed hole was dripping with fluids, waiting for her master's dick.
"Master… please support Liliana's pussy with your dick."
"Alright, I'll put it in."
Liliana must have liked my "support" for her pussy.
To meet her expectations, I slowly started pushing the head of my dick into Liliana's pussy.
"Ahh…! Hngh! Ughhh!"
Liliana wrapped her arms around my back, letting out sultry moans.
