Chapter 24: Chapter 23: One Hundredfold

What was wrong? Everything was wrong!

Just as Allyrose began trying to handle Jason, Luo Jia, under the table, not only refused to stop but actually… intensified his efforts!

The raven-haired girl’s voice began to tremble. Seeing the strange look growing in Jason’s eyes, Allyrose took a ragged breath, shot a glare at Luo Jia, and then turned back to deal with Jason.

“Ah~ It’s… it’s nothing~ Um… I, I meant that the content in this book is wrong~ Mmph… ghh…”

“Oh, so that’s what you meant.”

Jason nodded blankly. He thought for a moment. Thankfully, the library tables were quite high, so even though Luo Jia’s movements were becoming quite bold, it was still difficult to notice anything amiss.

Besides, Jason was somewhat distracted, his mind replaying the morning’s events. After a moment, he suddenly looked up at Allyrose.

“By the way, wifey, there’s something I wanted to ask you… It’s about the test this morning…”

“Ah… um… the test? What test?”

Allyrose answered in a daze, her body already trembling with a quiet excitement. She clenched her jaw, her mind raging about what that little white-haired brat was doing, but… but…

Her body seemed to be silently… craving it…

This feeling was especially potent when the raven-haired girl looked up and saw the familiar face of her fiancé before her.

Memories belonging to the original Allyrose—every little detail of her love for her childhood sweetheart—flooded her mind uncontrollably. A deep affection for him washed over her, creating a powerful sense of belonging, as if she were his and his alone.

Yet, when this intense love collided with the current, deeply immoral situation, Allyrose felt her breathing quicken. An inexplicable and potent sense of guilt rose within her, along with… an unparalleled thrill.

‘Mmph… I’m… in front of Jason, I’m being… by that white-haired brat…’

“The Holy Light test. Um… wifey, you really took me by surprise back then. That was amazing… you, you’re not actually level one hundred, are you? You must have used some trick to fake it, right? Ha… you’re so clever~ What kind of trick was it?”

Jason’s words cut through the haze clouding Allyrose’s mind, and some of her senses instantly returned.

Well… if it had been Arius or Tok saying this, she would have shot them down without a second thought.

But the circumstances were different now. Besides, the bet had already been made, and she had no intention of flaunting her power any longer. Jason would surely report back to Vivian, so she might as well feed them some false information to lower their guard.

As she mulled this over, formulating her response, the mischievous Luo Jia suddenly reached out. His fingers hooked the elastic edge of the black stocking on her jade-like thigh. He pulled it up gently, then let it snap back down.

The stocking slapped against her skin, sending a ripple across her thigh.

“Ngh… yes… that’s right~ Guh… It was just… just a little magic trick. I, I didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of the whole school… Ah—!”

Her slender body shuddered, startling Jason. He quickly asked the flushing Allyrose, “Wifey, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

“Ngh… no, I’m fine! Just a bit of static electricity~”

After a moment, Allyrose managed to lift her head, her voice trembling as she offered a quiet explanation. The scoundrel Hero didn’t seem particularly suspicious. He just nodded and hurried on.

“I knew it! Ahem… so, wifey, I heard from Arius that you made a bet with him, right? Sigh… wifey, since you were already playing a trick, you shouldn’t have made a bet like that. You… you can’t actually defeat an Epic-rank monster, can you? I… I can’t really help you much with that. But if you lose, you’ll really be expelled from the academy! Sigh…”

Jason put on a worried expression, his brow deeply furrowed. A moment later, he continued.

“I see you flipping through books in the library instead of going to class. You must be looking for a way to win tomorrow’s bet… but, I’m sorry, wifey, I don’t know if I should say this, but I don’t think there’s any way to increase your strength that quickly. So… I think the best way is for you to publicly apologize to Vivian tomorrow. That way, she can ask Arius for mercy on your behalf, and you can stay!”

“Is… is that so? Mmm…”

Allyrose’s eyes narrowed, her gaze hazy as she panted softly. A moment later, under the table, Luo Jia’s hand crept toward her innermost thigh. His fingers slowly traced the seam where the black tights parted, then gently curled…

And began to slowly rub, to gently tap…

Ngh!!!

In an instant, an intense jolt of electricity shot through her entire body. She collapsed onto the table, trembling uncontrollably.

She tried desperately to speak, to keep up her pretense with Jason, but whenever she opened her mouth, only broken, involuntary sounds escaped. The fingers below seemed to move even faster, until finally—

As the thrilling sensations continued to surge, Allyrose felt her consciousness blur. Her legs stretched out taut, and her eyes rolled back against her will. The last shred of her focus was spent on desperately suppressing her own voice.

“Ahhh… ooh… Mmm~ no… don’t… don’t… mmph… hah… hah… Mmmph—!”

Half-conscious, the girl lay slumped over the table. Her soft whimpers led Jason to believe she was sobbing. He waved his hands frantically and reached out to stroke her head, quickly trying to reassure her.

“Wifey, don’t cry. Don’t worry, little sister Vivian is a very kind and gentle person. She won’t be angry with you over something so small. As long as you apologize sincerely, I’ll definitely speak up for you!”

“Ngh… hah, hah… is, is that so? Mmm… th-thank you~ Brother Jason… ah…”

After a long moment, Allyrose slowly lifted her head and looked at him.

“I understand. I… I’ll apologize properly to Vivian~ I definitely… ah… I will~!”
