He pinned her down instantly, lowering his head until their eyes met.
The room fell silent.
Only the girl's faint breathing could be heard.
She pressed her legs together, twisting her hips slightly, her chest rising and falling with each breath.
"Kiss me..."
"Mm."
They tacitly acknowledged that their relationship had taken a step further.
"Hey, Stella."
"W-what is it?"
"Did you know that molesting a minor is illegal?"
"F-ft..."
"If I ran to court crying and sued you, you'd get at least five years in jail!"
"I'm the one molesting you?!" Stella was completely dumbfounded.
'Well, she's not wrong.'
Noah was still under 14, while Stella had just come of age, but she was legally an adult.
"You—!"
'Mmph.'
The girl's mouth was silenced.
Her face flushed crimson, she closed her eyes tightly, fully immersing herself in the sensation.
'The feeling... isn't bad at all.'
Stella, increasingly overwhelmed, suddenly seized the initiative, flipping Noah onto his back and pinning him down!
Her mind was a chaotic blur, incapable of coherent thought.
'Knock, knock, knock!'
A sharp knock echoed through the room.
Noel glanced at Stella, who hadn't yet registered the interruption. He tried to rise, but she held him firmly in place!
'Damn it.'
The Princess's strength was astonishing, even with his strength, he couldn't match her. (he lie....)
'Is she using Magic Power?'
No, something was off about Stella's state.
'Appraisal.'
[Dragon Attribute Activation (Minor Circulation)]
'What...?'
Could it be that their earlier "exchange" had somehow triggered the awakening of the power within Stella's body?
...
"Hey, Stella, snap out of it!"
Someone was knocking!
If his willpower faltered and he actually went at it with Stella, not only would the person outside hear everything, but even the neighbors next door would get a clear earful.
This was a student dormitory, after all.
The soundproofing wasn't nearly good enough!
"N-Noah, I—" Stella was completely disoriented.
Her pupils were even starting to morph into heart shapes.
Seeing her state, Noah had no choice but to press his hand against the back of her neck, using his ice magic to physically cool her down.
"Kyahhh!"
Her adorable squeal made Noah struggle to maintain his composure.
Still, he pushed her away, pulled the heavy blanket over her, and strode to the door, flinging it open.
The moment the door swung open...
Bang!
Noah froze for a split second before recognizing the person who had been knocking.
"Who are you?"
Standing at the doorway was a young woman with long chestnut hair and eyes, a graceful figure, and a beautiful face.
However, she looked a bit silly as she clutched her reddened nose.
She must have bumped her nose because she'd been trying to eavesdrop on the commotion inside as she pressed her face right against the door to hear better.
"Ah, I-I-I am so sorry! I seem to have come at the wrong time, but... but you cannot do that here! This is Hagun Academy, a sacred place of learning! Even if you are both adults, you cannot be doing that in the dorms!"
The girl blurted out a panicked torrent of words.
When she finally mustered the courage to face Noah directly, she let out another shriek.
"Eek!"
Noah's ears rang from the piercing scream.
He glanced down at himself.
'Uh-oh.'
'No wonder she's screamed.'
Stella had torn his uniform shirt to shreds in her daze, leaving his upper body barely covered.
Worse, his pants were unbuttoned and the zipper had been ripped open!
'Good grief. Why is she so aggressive?'
If this girl hadn't knocked on the door, he might have been in real trouble!
He desperately wanted to say, "You have got the wrong idea."
But in his current state, anything he said would sound like a weak excuse!
"Ahem."
Noah turned around and grabbed a bath towel from the bathroom, wrapping it around his waist.
The girl covered her face with both hands, her cheeks flushed crimson.
The gap between her fingers was so wide, it was hard to imagine what she was actually hiding.
It was a clumsy attempt that only drew more attention.
She clearly wanted to peek!
"Um..."
"Ah, that... I am the Student Council President, Tohka Todo. I came here... I came here... Ah, wait, why did I come here again?"
"You are asking me?"
Noah stared in astonishment at the dorky, bespectacled girl.
Who could imagine that this clumsy girl was actually the strongest knight at Hagun Academy?
Still, the evidence was right before his eyes.
[Tohka Todo]
Blazer Rank: B
Blazer Type: Natural Causality Type (Electricity Manipulation)
Device: Narukami
Title: Raikiri
Attack Power: A
Defense Power: C
Magic Power: B
Magic Control: B
Physical Ability: A
Luck: D
Undoubtedly the strongest student at Hagun Academy, her Noble Art, Raikiri, is renowned as the most formidable strike in close-quarters combat.
Its overwhelming impact has led to the technique's name becoming her official title.
She participated in last year's Seven Stars Sword Art Festival but suffered a narrow defeat, halting her progress at the top four.
Based solely on her legendary combat feats, few would imagine her possessing such an unassuming appearance and personality.
"Aaaah, I am so sorry! I just cannot remember it right now!"
"Um, President, may I ask... were you eavesdropping on us earlier?"
"I-I-I wasn't! No, no, I wasn't!" Tohka Todo's exaggerated fluster was palpable, her entire being avoiding Noah's gaze.
Cold sweat streamed down Noah's face.
Just from looking at her, Noah already knew the truth.
'Thank goodness we didn't actually go through with it!'
Otherwise, the girl might have been listening outside the whole time.
And if someone passing by had seen the Student Council President collapsed on the ground in front of their door, that would have been a disaster!
The President was clearly a pure, inexperienced girl!
"I-Is Princess Stella okay?" Tohka asked cautiously, peering into the room.
Her curiosity was evident, but she also seemed anxious.
Noah wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. "What do you mean 'okay'? She's fine. Just come in and see for yourself. Go on."
"Eh? Me too?!" Tohka was shocked.
A word suddenly flashed through her mind: Threesome.
She immediately tried to refuse, her face burning hot!
"Wait, Noah-kun! I'm not like that—"
"I told you, you have got it all wrong! Come inside."
"No, don't!"
"I'm leaving now!"
Noah grabbed Tohka, his urgency growing.
If this misunderstanding wasn't cleared up today, it would be a disaster. He had to get her inside to see the truth!
Noah forcibly pulled Tohka into the room.
Stella, having overheard the commotion outside, had already gotten out of bed, her mind finally clear.
Seeing the Student Council President, she smiled faintly. "President... Noah..."
"Good morning."
"Huh?"
Tohka noticed that Stella's face was slightly flushed, but her casual clothes were perfectly neat, and there were no strange smells or signs of anything amiss in the room.
'Huh?'
'Could it be... nothing actually happened?'
Seeing her sudden look of disappointment, Noah cursed inwardly. 'What the hell is wrong with this girl?!'
'What is with the disappointment?! Is she secretly as messed up inside as Stella?'
'Damn it!'
"I already told you it was a misunderstanding, President."
"Ah, I'm sorry. I was thinking too much..."
Tohka, about to apologize, bowed deeply, but suddenly, she noticed something at the foot of the bed.
Noah saw her expression change and followed her gaze.
There, lying on the floor, was a small, square foil package.
The outline of the object inside appeared to be.... circular. (a condom)
'Safe? Safe?!'
'What the hell is that?!'
"No, wait..."
"I'll come back another time!" Tohka shouted, completely ignoring Noah's struggles.
She turn around and fled.
In an instant, she vanished from Noah and Stella's sight.
'What?'
'She's so fast!'
'No, this isn't the time to be impressed by her A-Rank speed!'
'Now the misunderstanding is even worse!'
"Why is there... Wait, Stella?"
Noah turned to the blushing princess and saw her slowly shuffling her feet toward the small foil package.
She stepped on it, pretending it had never been there in the first place.
'She even prepared this?'
'Is she really planning to force me to have sex with her?'
"Stella, sit over there. We need to discuss something serious now," Noah said with a grave expression.
