Lucky Pervert Amulet
"This is...!"
I jolted upright in bed.
I knew about Lucky Pervert.
It was a term from one of my favorite Japanese manga.
Lucky Pervert refers to accidentally groping or sexually harassing a woman due to a chance accident.
Lucky Pervert is Yuuki Xto's ability!
The manga I stumbled upon in middle school had been a revelation.
Jackpot!
I quickly checked the Lucky Pervert Amulet on my smartphone.
Lucky Pervert Amulet
Activates when worn on the wrist. Single-use.
Greatly increases the chance of Lucky Pervert incidents occurring for one week.
Price: 10 Points
? Warning:
This item has side effects.
The amulet was a bracelet, a string of white beads resembling a rosary, except for its color and material.
How can something this amazing cost only 10 Points?
It must be the side effects.
Well, side effects probably won't kill me.
I resisted the urge to use it immediately. Since the effect activates upon wearing it on my wrist, activating it tomorrow morning would be more time-efficient.
Now this makes going to school worthwhile!
I chuckled silently as I stowed the Lucky Pervert Amulet in my inventory.
Knock, knock.
The door opened with a knock, and Kelly entered, wearing lingerie that barely covered her vital areas.
"Sis, I'm here~!"
"Welcome, Sis. I've been waiting for you."
I greeted Kelly, pushing the blanket aside.
"Master! Wake up! You need to get to the Academy!"
When I opened my eyes, Rizel's orange hair came into view. She was shaking my shoulder. I stared blankly at her before jolting upright. There was no time to waste.
The bracelet! I need to put on the bracelet!
I retrieved the Lucky Pervert Amulet from my Inventory and immediately fastened it to my left wrist. Nothing seemed to change.
"I've never seen that bracelet before. Is it important?"
"Important? Very important."
"Anyway, I'm glad you woke up early today. I'll go clean up now... Eek!"
As I got out of bed too quickly, my foot caught on the blanket and I stumbled into Rizel, knocking her over.
The ridiculous part wasn't that I had fallen to the floor, but that I had pulled Rizel onto the bed, and we were now embracing.
"W-what's this, Master? Are you already frustrated this morning?"
"No. This is..."
I almost blurted out that I had simply lost my footing, but the absurdity of the situation made the excuse stick in my throat.
So this is the Lucky Pervert Amulet? It's a bit underwhelming.
I suddenly understood why it only cost 10 Points.
"That's right. I'm frustrated."
I buried my face in Rizel's small chest, and when she gave me a shy nod, my hand slid under her skirt.
"Ah... if it's you, then... be gentle..."
She held onto my shoulders, flustered but clearly accepting me.
The Lucky Pervert Amulet was working perfectly.
When I woke up and opened the bathroom door to wash up, I found Kelly already showering naked. Later, I bumped into Rizel while she was cleaning, and she ended up pressed against me again before we both stepped back, red-faced.
Within an hour of waking up, three lewd incidents had already occurred.
I lingered near Yuria, but nothing lewd happened.
Perhaps there were specific conditions for the amulet to activate.
I ate the breakfast Yuria prepared and headed out.
By 5 PM, with classes about to end, the Lucky Pervert Amulet hadn't triggered once. This was largely because the Swordsmanship Department had an extremely small number of female students.
If this is all it does, I'll be pretty disappointed...
I sighed and headed toward Professor Floy's office. Kyle tried to persuade me to join a club along the way, but I brushed him off. There was no reason for me to join a club full of guys.
Knock, knock.
A voice called out from inside, "Come in."
"Professor Floy, are you busy?"
Floy, wearing a large eyepatch over her left eye, glanced at me with her right eye.
"I have tasks to attend to, but nothing urgent. Didn't you bring your weapon?"
"My personal weapon is in the dormitory. Should I go get it?"
"Can't you demonstrate your skills with a standard weapon?"
"The standard weapon will suffice."
Floy rose from her chair and put on the coat hanging on the rack.
"Let's go to my Private Training Room. I want to see your skills in action."
"Yes, Professor."
I answered while stealing glances at Floy's upper body. She was wearing thin clothing, and her slender waist made her D-cup breasts particularly prominent.
Floy led the way, and I followed behind her. Suddenly, her body swayed.
I reacted before I could think.
The Lucky Pervert Amulet is working!
I rushed to Floy and caught her by the waist before she hit the floor.
"Professor Floy! Are you alright?"
"...I'm fine. You can let go now."
"S-sorry!"
I released her immediately, relieved that I had managed to steady her.
"No need to apologize. If it weren't for you, I would have fallen."
"Are you really alright? Collapsing isn't normal. You should go to the infirmary..."
"It's nothing serious. Just a lingering effect from losing my left eye. I sometimes lose my balance and fall while walking. I'd been fine for months, but it happened again today. The experts say it's more of a psychological issue. You don't need to worry about it."
Floy resumed walking ahead. I glanced down at my palm. The brief warmth of her waist still lingered.
This Lucky Pervert Amulet is amazing.
I stuck close behind Floy. If she lost her balance again, I'd make sure to support her properly this time.
Boom!
The explosion made me jerk my head up and stare out the window.
"That's coming from the Magic Department," Floy said.
"Can you really afford to be so relaxed? I heard an explosion..."
"It's probably just another magic experiment gone wrong. Happens a few times a month. You don't need to worry about it."
Floy resumed walking.
Floy and I faced each other, our swords drawn.
Her stance made me tense. Even at a glance, I could tell she was no ordinary opponent.
If only her left eye hadn't been injured, she might have become a renowned knight across the continent.
I thought, watching her.
How much of my skill should I reveal? It's best to conceal the Yeongcheon Style and Thunderbolt techniques. They're too exceptional to explain away.
I can claim I used Mana for Acceleration... I'll have to rely on Prucus's basic swordsmanship and the Meteor Sword Art.
Since my Meteor Sword Art is still imperfect, I can just say I learned it from some wandering mercenary.
"Do you need more time to prepare?"
"I'm ready!"
I charged at Floy, slashing my sword.
Instead of relying on brute force, Floy deflected my blade with skillful technique or, more accurately, redirected it.
I swung my sword relentlessly, but Floy parried my attacks with ease.
Floy knows the Prucus Basic Swordsmanship.
This wasn't surprising. As a professor at Goldway Academy, she likely had a grasp of most renowned sword arts.
I switched from Prucus Basic Swordsmanship to the Meteor Sword Art.
She probably doesn't know the Meteor Sword Art, a sword art from another world.
The Meteor Sword Art was a powerful sword style that emphasized strength over speed and technique.
Using Mana, I explosively enhanced my Strength and wielded my sword.
The blade, held at a slight angle, slashed through the air from above like a meteor streaking across the sky.
"I've never seen swordsmanship like this before," Floy remarked, raising her own sword. The moment our blades met, she rotated her sword with effortless ease, deflecting mine.
Startled, I retreated. Floy hadn't even used Mana for that maneuver.
"To deflect my attack so casually... you're truly remarkable."
"...Your technique is far too crude. Be honest how long have you been practicing this Meteor Sword Art?"
I flinched.
In truth, I had only been practicing the Meteor Sword Art for a few days. Instead of focusing on it, I had been training in the Yeongcheon Style.
"...It hasn't been long. I learned this swordsmanship from a wandering mercenary."
"Your cultivation realm doesn't match your swordsmanship proficiency. You're hiding your true skills from me."
"..."
"Show me the swordsmanship you're concealing. I swear I won't reveal it to anyone."
"Professor Floy, we've only known each other for less than a week."
"You don't trust me."
"One shouldn't trust people so easily."
"I agree."
"Still, I don't want to disappoint you, Professor. I'll show you a portion of my true abilities."
My pride wouldn't allow me to lose like this.
Momentary.
Instant activated. Remaining stacks: 4
I moved swiftly, positioning myself behind Floy. Startled, she whirled around, swinging her sword. Unlike before, she was now enhancing her body with mana.
Momentary.
Instant activated. Remaining stacks: 3
I dodged Floy's attack and aimed for her flank. I had no intention of inflicting a fatal wound, so I planned to strike with the flat of my blade.
But before my sword could land, Floy's elbow struck the flat of my blade with lightning speed. The sword shattered, the broken pieces flying through the air.
"..."
I froze in place, utterly dumbfounded.
"When you wield a sword in one hand, the other hand is free. Does that mean it should just hang there? Of course not. You can hold a shield, wield another sword, learn martial arts, or even carry a spear. The greatest advantage of a one-handed sword is the freedom it grants to your other hand."
"...I concede."
"It hasn't been long. Are you giving up already?"
"My sword broke. Can I use another one?"
"The swords here are mass-produced. Use whichever one you want."
I grabbed the nearest sword.
Forcibly suppressing my urge to use the Yeongcheon Style, I charged at Floy.
"You have a habit of moving faster when you get impatient."
"Isn't moving faster the key to winning?"
"Your swordsmanship isn't about speed, is it?"
"..."
I had no retort. As she said, the Meteor Sword Art emphasizes power over speed.
"As your professor, I advise you not to obsess over speed. Being fast doesn't necessarily make you strong, and being slow doesn't mean you're weak."
"Yes, I'll keep that in mind... Professor?!"
Floy staggered. Startled, I tried to move my sword aside and retreat, but my footing slipped and my body lurched forward instead.
Lucky pervert moment!
I couldn't stop my momentum in time.
My sword sliced through a portion of her coat, while hers grazed my shoulder.
My left hand caught her coat and accidentally dragged it down, tearing the fabric to reveal her pale skin.
The sword must have barely cut through the fastening of her bra, because it came loose with the rest of the torn clothing.
Floy collapsed to the floor, and I fell on top of her, my face striking her collarbone before I jerked back.
"Ugh?!"
I threw my left hand to the floor to keep my balance, stopping myself before it slipped any lower.
"Wait! What are you doing?! Get off me!"
Floy grabbed my shoulders and shoved me away, rocking my body from side to side.
"Hngh?!"
"Ah! I-I'm so sorry!"
I scrambled to my feet, but my right arm got tangled, sending me crashing back down. In the process, I heard Floy's pants rip, sliding down her thighs along with her panties.
Suddenly, Floy was exposed far more than either of us intended.
Floy, her face flushed crimson, shouted at me, "What are you staring at?! Look away...!"
She stopped mid-sentence, her gaze shifting to my shoulder. Blood was streaming down from the wound where her sword had grazed me earlier.
"...I'm sorry. I'm a professor, yet I still managed to injure you."
"Oh, no, it's not your fault. I was just flustered..."
I turned my head away and squeezed my eyes shut. I'd already seen more than enough. The awkward scene would forever be etched in my memory.
Floy sighed, followed by the rustling of fabric.
"That's settled. My top is torn and my pants are ripped, but thankfully the coat is only slightly damaged."
I opened my eyes and stared at Floy with a serious expression.
She's definitely going to scold me. I'll strike first before she can.
I'd divert her attention by bringing up a serious topic.
"Professor Floy, there's something very important I need to discuss."
"Important?"
"Do you know about demons?"
