“No looking back, understood?” Amelia said, her gaze stern.
“Absolutely not,” I replied with a smile.
Well, teacher, I’ve already seen something even better from you. Your aroused figure, your hungry pussy leaking hot juices that I’ve even tasted.
“Then you should go ahead,” she said, knowing that if I came after her, I could see her clearly naked.
The only parts I hadn’t seen yet were her upper body, especially her bare breasts, but I knew it was only a matter of time. Patience was key, though I had to admit it was difficult to restrain myself after yesterday.
“Yes,” I nodded and began removing my clothes.
Amelia turned away, giving me some privacy.
Once I had taken off all my clothes, I slowly waded into the pond.
The water wasn’t cold at all; instead, it was pleasantly warm. I felt my muscles relax as the water enveloped me, washing away not only the grime but also the accumulated stress.
I was quite anxious when it came time to deal with Oscar.
First of all, he was incredibly strong. I knew I had to catch him off guard to take him down without getting hurt myself. This was a risky move because he was a few levels higher than me. I remained extremely cautious throughout the ordeal, but in the end, I managed to knock him out. However, that was only the beginning of my troubles.
Secondly, Oscar was a highly valuable asset to the Empire of Light, as Khione had informed me. If he were to die, it would draw a lot of attention, and the higher-ups of the Empire—the true rulers—might take action.
When I mentioned my plan to kill Oscar to Khione, she seriously advised me against doing anything to him or Cecilia. According to her, they were both groomed by these higher-ups, who were extremely dangerous and the most powerful in the Empire. These higher-ups only appeared when absolutely necessary and obeyed only Khione, the Goddess.
None of us had met them yet, as they preferred to remain hidden and unnoticed. In fact, no one was supposed to be aware of their existence. I knew about them only because Khione had confided in me, and aside from me, Amelia was the only one who had met them. Khione had shared this information with me as well.
Jason might be the leader of the Heroes, but Amelia was the teacher to all the Heroes. Because of her role, the Emperor and the others considered her the true leader. This was why the higher-ups had chosen to speak with Amelia directly.
In any case, Khione didn’t want me to kill Oscar because it would draw the higher-ups out of hiding to investigate. Oscar was stronger than all the Heroes, and his death would arouse intense suspicion.
One whiff of doubt among the Heroes, and the higher-ups could use extreme measures to find the culprit, Hero or not. They were that cautious and protective of their assets.
That’s also why I didn’t ask Khione to use her influence to kill Oscar. Doing so might cause her to lose the trust of those higher-ups, which was not what I wanted. So, I decided to take care of him myself.
But now it was done. Despite Khione’s warnings, I went through with it because I wanted those higher-ups to emerge so I could see and assess them. It was a dangerous gamble, but I felt it was necessary.
Still, those higher-ups were truly a bunch of bastards. They were incredibly strong yet rarely participated in fights against the Demons. The Demon King must have been that formidable to warrant such caution.
The only thing I knew for certain was that these higher-ups were far stronger and more dangerous than Oscar, which meant I was currently weaker than them.
The Forbidden Seal was my last resort, but it could only be used once at a time, and I had no intention of using it on them. For now, they weren’t suspicious of me, and Khione was subtly watching my back without revealing too much of our connection.
But how long would this balance last?
Not long.
Fortunately I didn’t stay idle this last month.
Just as I was lost in thought, the gentle sound of water and the subtle ripples caught my attention.
Amelia had arrived, her presence now behind me.
“We should make haste, Nathan,” she spoke, her tone carrying a hint of vulnerability.
“Yes,” I replied, offering a reassuring smile as I began to pour water over myself.
After a moment, I decided to break the silence.
“Teacher, do you have someone waiting for you back on Earth?” I inquired suddenly.
“I’ve already told you, Nathan. My mother is growing old. She’s probably being looked after by my brother,” she replied.
“Well, I have no one. You know my father isn’t exactly reliable,” I shared.
Amelia fell silent.
“So, I’ve decided to stay in this world,” I continued.
“Nathan?!” Amelia exclaimed in surprise, turning around abruptly, revealing her figure. However, out of respect, I maintained my gaze forward.
In a flustered panic, Amelia quickly turned back.
“W-Why would you say that?” she stammered.
“Because I wish you would stay here with me,” I confessed, my words heartfelt and sincere.
I knew I had to act swiftly and honestly.
“Nathan, you—” she began, but I interjected before she could finish.
“I believe you’re astute enough to realize that I like you, teacher. You avoided me until now because of your own feelings, didn’t you?” I pressed on, not allowing her to slip into her teacher-mode. And for that I had to bring out her guilt since it wasn’t because of me that she was avoiding me but she was the reason in the contrary.
“No… I just…”
“Since you’ve become my teacher, it seemed impossible on Earth, but here it’s different, isn’t it?” I pressed gently.
“Nathan, it’s not different. I am still your teacher. Such a relationship isn’t… possible,” she replied softly, her disappointment evident.
“It is possible!” I insisted, turning to face her, captivated by the elegance of her back.
“Nathan, don’t—” she began, but I interrupted.
“Teacher, I just want to know if you feel even a bit for me,” I said, my tone rising slightly but without force.
“No, I don’t, listen—”
“It’s not Earth here; you don’t have to see me solely as a student,” I interjected, countering each of her arguments with gentle persistence.
Amelia’s body trembled slightly at my words, seeming to be more affected than she should have been.
[Deep Voice]
Of course, it was because I had activated my C-rank Skill from the moment I began speaking to her. In her vulnerable state, especially after whatever Oscar had given her and the aftermath of a wet dream about me, my words held an unexpected sway. It was impossible for her to fight back. My touch and words were addicting at this point for her.
“I… I can’t…” Amelia shook her head, her resolve faltering.
“I know, teacher, that you’ve been holding back your fear and emotions because you felt responsible as a teacher and believed you needed to be strong. But you don’t have to be like that with me,” I said tenderly, reaching out to grasp her hand underwater, offering her reassurance and support.
“N…No… I… hnnn~” she struggled to respond, her voice trailing off as I silenced her with a gentle kiss on her neck, closing the gap between us until my chest lightly pressed against her shoulder.
“Haa…” a soft sigh escaped her lips, her body reacting to my touch with a noticeable warmth.
“Tell me, teacher…” I murmured, my lips grazing against her earlobe before trailing down to place tender kisses along her jawline, guiding her head gently to meet my gaze. Her emerald eyes shimmered with moisture.
And then, our lips met in a hesitant, yet achingly sweet kiss.
I kissed her with a tenderness born of longing, feeling her initial hesitation gradually melt away as our lips moved in sync, conveying emotions too complex for words.
But the moment was fleeting.
“No! We can’t! N…Nathan!” she exclaimed, her voice trembling with urgency as she pushed me away, hastily retreating from the pond and wrapping herself in a towel.
I was about to run and grasp her arm to play another dramatic speech since it was now or never to break through her heart since she was in her moist vulnerable state but I stopped myself feeling something.
SPLAAAASH!
An explosion shattered the tranquility of the moment, sending ripples across the water’s surface.
Amelia turned back, her eyes widening in horror as she saw me facing off against a monstrous sea serpent, its imposing form coiled and ready to strike.
“N…NATHANNNN!!!!” her scream pierced the air, but my focus remained fixed on the looming threat before me.
LEVEL 46
“You arrived at the perfect moment,” I muttered, a smirk tugging at the corners of my lips.
What better than an antagonist to make the girl fall in love with the boy?
