The story returns to Ranoa Magic University.
That day in the grass, I was actually tempted. After all, I'm not some upright gentleman, nor do I possess the virtue of a gentleman who refrains from taking advantage in the dark.
Not taking advantage of an opportunity is a fool's game.
But later, I still gave up on taking direct advantage. It wasn't because my conscience suddenly awakened.
It was because I realized that once in the air, I might be able to gain an even bigger advantage.
After taking Prusena into the sky, she basically buried her entire body in my embrace. While the physical sensation was pleasant, it didn't allow Prusena to experience deeper fear, nor was it easy to use magic to probe inside her body to study this inherent fear.
Later, I chose to hold her from behind, making her face outward as we flew into the air, and I made sure to fly as high as possible.
Prusena was a bit like someone on a rollercoaster who faints during the descent. Initially trembling and screaming, once I reached a certain altitude or during a rapid descent, she would faint as if her whole system had shut down.
Of course, this state was very brief, lasting only a few seconds before she recovered.
To better allow magic to enter her body for research,
I wrapped one arm around her slender waist and slid the other hand into her... curves to transmit mana, as the sensation was better there.
The experimental results were excellent.
When Prusena felt fear, there was a magical reaction in the area of her brain, and no matter how many times I took her flying, the magical reaction did not diminish.
In other words, she wouldn't get used to flying or overcome her fear of it through repeated exposure.
This is likely due to differences in how each race or individual triggers the body's inherent fear system.
I've taken quite a few people flying before. Even someone like Doris, an ordinary human, completely adapted after a few flights and showed no discomfort.
But Prusena just couldn't adapt.
Linia was also afraid, but her level of fear was much less than Prusena's. Perhaps it's related to one being feline and the other canine.
After experimenting (tormenting) with them for a while, I let them go. We agreed that if needed in the future, I would call on them for further experiments.
Of course, I agreed to be their big brother, promising to protect them if anyone ever bullied them.
Probably the only person capable of bullying them would be Ariel.
When the time comes, I'll teach Ariel a lesson for them... in bed.
Life at the university was monotonous.
During this period, I had been studying knowledge about Summoning Magic and barrier magic.
Additionally, I now occasionally fulfilled my duty as Ariel's Guardian Knight, standing night watch for her. I'm not sure if it's because she trusts me immensely or to give Sylphiette or other guards some rest.
When I guarded her, she was always alone. Guarding, of course, meant being together around the clock, including when she slept.
However, I didn't accompany her to public events, like speeches or such.
So other ordinary students were unaware of my existence.
Ariel had completely let her guard down in front of me. Before, she would maintain her princessly demeanor in my presence.
Now, she discusses with me how she likes to be handled, what positions she prefers, and occasionally shares gossip about nobles within the kingdom.
Truly worthy of being Ariel. She knows a great deal in this area. Sometimes I feel all the Japanese adult videos from my past life were watched in vain.
She also likes it when I help her pee.
Just like taking a child to the toilet when out, holding her in position.
I asked her, 'Do you always go to the bathroom like this? Has anyone else ever helped you?'
She glanced at me with her beautiful eyes and said:
'If you abandon me, I'll let myself go and find a dozen male concubines to serve me day and night.'
I felt she was truly capable of doing such a thing.
Ah, truly the princess of our Asura Kingdom, not bringing any shame to our Asura Kingdom at all.
Of course, Ariel has many attributes; these are just some of them.
As for her other attributes, I'll elaborate on them slowly if and when we encounter them.
Elinalise had officially started attending classes in the regular stream. But for some reason, she still came to find me every other day.
Usually in the wilderness. I had given up on saving myself.
I just considered it as performing the work of a merciful bodhisattva, occasionally bestowing upon her a bit of... nourishment.
I'm really afraid that one time after we finish, she'll get dressed, toss me a gold coin, and say, 'This is the fee for this time.'
That would probably break me.
Doris basically monopolized my nights, so I won't discuss that further here.
Time passed day by day. I also diligently caught up on a lot of magical knowledge I hadn't learned before at Ranoa Magic University.
In my spare time, I also researched the Disturb Magic that Orsted used back at Red Dragons Jaw.
I had known about this special magic before but never understood its principle.
It was only after witnessing Orsted use it firsthand that I figured out the specific mechanics.
It's actually quite simple. It involves using a surge of one's own mana to disrupt the opponent's process of gathering mana when they are casting a spell.
The normal process of casting a magic spell is:
Gather mana within the body — Release mana to mobilize the corresponding magical elements — Form the corresponding magic — Impart kinetic energy to the magic — Release the magic.
This casting process isn't fixed. For example, the Water Saint-level magic: Cumulonimbus.
This magic creates stormy, thunderous weather.
The released mana acts directly on the magical elements in the sky, and there's no need to impart kinetic energy to the magic.
