Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

Chapter 133: Love is pouring out like a broken dam

”Take her to the infirmary,” the Principal ordered firmly as she meticulously inspected Ariaʼs wounded body.

The middle-aged professor stepped forward with a concerned expression, ready to offer support to Aria. However, she swiftly swatted his hand away, determined to make her own way to the Infirmary without assistance.

Aether, intrigued by the unfolding scene, observed the middle-aged professor, noting the distinct Elvish features that hinted at a possible relation between them, ʼMaybe they are related,ʼ he mused inwardly.

”I trust you all have learned a valuable lesson today and will bear in mind the importance of punctuality in the future... Now disperse!” the Principal stated solemnly, her tone carrying a weight of authority.

A collective nod rippled through the group as they began dispersing, each taking away the lesson in their own way.

As Jack Sparrow made his way off the stage, the Principal approached him discreetly, her voice a low whisper carrying a hint of warning, ”Should you attempt such a stunt again in my presence, death will seem like a merciful wish... Jack”

Jack, caught off guard, visibly flinched before hastily making his exit.

”What happened?” Nyx asked when she saw Jackʼs amused expression. Jack simply smiled and replied, ”Sovereign is really something else...”

Meanwhile, the Principalʼs keen eyes followed Aetherʼs hurried departure as if he was scared of her due to his previous words, a mischievous thought forming in her mind, ʼHehe...

Iʼll address his behaviour in due time,ʼ she mused to herself, casting a glance at the group of professors before instructing them, ”Ensure everything is handled smoothly.” With that, she gracefully exited the scene, leaving the responsibility in capable hands.

Soon, students gathered their respective details and room keys from the attentive staff, proceeding on their separate paths with newfound insights from the dayʼs events.

Aether, burdened with both Aqualinaʼs and Seleneʼs luggage, gazed at them with a mix of curiosity and bewilderment.

”I-Is it appropriate for me to enter the girlsʼ dorm?” Aether questioned tentatively, his voice tinged with both curiosity and a hint of apprehension.

”Donʼt worry about it, come on in. Weʼre just getting settled, so itʼs not a big deal,” Aqualina reassured him as she confidently led the way into the dormitory.

Noticing Aetherʼs hesitation, Selene reached out and gently pulled him along.

A few minutes ago,

After boosting Aqualinaʼs and Kaiʼs ego with praises and admiration, it became apparent that Kai was not only satisfied but impressed with Aqualinaʼs training of Aether.

Without any further question or hesitation, Kai agreed to lend Aether as Aqualinaʼs servant, albeit only in name for the time being. They completed the necessary paperwork, officially registering Aether as Aqualinaʼs servant. Timmy, on the other hand, had initially desired to serve Selene, but due to Kaiʼs need for an assistant, Timmy reluctantly agreed to take on that role.

Thus, both Timmy and Aether were assigned to a Servant dormitory.

Selene, who had fervently pleaded with Kai not to allow Aether to become Aqualinaʼs servant, fell silent when Aqualina intervened in their conversation, causing Selene to begrudgingly accept the arrangement, albeit with visible resentment in her eyes. Afterwards, Kai and Timmy departed for the Boyʼs dormitory.

Upon entering the girlʼs dormitory, Aetherʼs nostrils tingled with a pleasant fragrance, prompting an internal exclamation, ʼDamn, that smells goo---- Oh, no, not again! Fuck!! I am really turning into a pervert!!ʼ Aetherʼs eyes widened at this realization, marking the second time his mind had wandered into such territory.

It seemed as though Aetherʼs inner thoughts were bursting forth like a dam. He recognized the urgent need to increase his Ethereal domain to gain better control over his impulses and mental privacy.

”Hand me mine,” Aqualina asked as she positioned herself before her spatial elevator, leading to her floor.... more like Floor for Arcane Queen, situated on the top floor.

Aqualina retrieved her luggage from Aether and positioned herself on the circular platform adorned with a peculiar magic circle etched into the ground.

”After youʼve settled her room, come to room number 3,” Aqualina instructed before disappearing.

”Thatʼs like a smaller version of teleportation,” Selene remarked as she observed Aetherʼs surprised expression upon witnessing the magic.

”Yes, quite fascinating,” Aether acknowledged, his curiosity piqued. Together, Selene and he stepped into the circle. Selene inputted the floor number, and in an instant, they vanished from one platform and reappeared on separate circular platforms.

”Letʼs go! Mine is Room Number 9,” Selene announced as she seized her luggage from Aetherʼs grasp, urging him to follow.

Utilizing the access card provided by the staff, Selene unlocked her room, which was nothing short of grandeur, resembling the accommodations in her own fatherʼs mansion.

Surveying the extravagant amenities, including a king-size bed, an attached bathroom, and a compact kitchen,

Like a 1BHK apartment!

Aether couldnʼt help but ponder, ʼIsnʼt this level of luxury excessive for a student?ʼ Nevertheless, he assisted Selene in organizing her belongings as they settled into the lavish surroundings.

ʼW-We look like a couple!!ʼ Selene screamed inwardly while Aether folded the clothes, and she arranged them in the wardrobe.

”Whatʼs your rank, Madam Selene?” Aether suddenly asked, curious about the ranking system. He wondered why Selene, who always appeared studious, didnʼt score higher.

Selene snapped out of her blushing thoughts and glanced at Aether but remained silent.

”Hmm? Madam Selene?” Aether called again, but Selene didnʼt respond. Aether speculated, ʼMaybe she didnʼt score as well as expected...ʼ However,

”Sel”

”Yes?”

”Call me Sel!!” Selene blurted out, her face turning bright red.

[+3000 Affection]

ʼ... Oh dear, it seems she isnʼt holding back anymore,ʼ Aether thought.

Despite being oblivious at times, even Aether couldnʼt miss the hints after glimpsing the Memories of Ether (Tiny bit). The growing affection points only added to his understanding of the situation.

Aether bit his lip, as much as he wanted to survive at any cost.... looking at her red face that was evident with maiden-struck love.... He felt little disgust about himself.

ʼSigh, Iʼm still half-ass about everything,ʼ Aether lamented silently, feeling a tinge of guilt.

”S-Sel”

”YES!!” Seleneʼs happiness was palpable as she jumped slightly, her face lighting up with joy. She giggled and said, ”Heheh...I ranked 4th. You know, 4th!! just one below the top three... It was so challenging! I almost lost my mind trying to remember everything from the written test.

You have no idea how tough it was. I really hoped to secure 2nd or 3rd place, but others outperformed me, especially Lia. She must have put in a lot of effort... and also.....”

She continued talking like a little loveable girl, sharing her academic struggles like a girlfriend sharing her day with her boyfriend.

”Hah...” Aether shook his head in amusement as he remembered his ex behaving similarly. In situations like this, all you needed to do was listen....nothing more, nothing less.

Just listen!!

As Selene continued to talk, Aether wanted to ask what Aqualina had said to make Selene accept Aether as Aqualinaʼs servant, but...

ʼShe really talks a lot...ʼ Aether thought, a small smile playing on his lips. Absentmindedly, his hand brushed against something incredibly soft. Startled, he looked down, his eyes widening as he muttered, ”Pink.”

Those two words were enough to halt Seleneʼs chatter. She turned to him with a horrified expression, realizing he had accidentally touched her innerwear.

”D-Donʼt look!!” Selene shouted, scrambling to retrieve her innerwear, only to trip over the luggage and...

ʼThudʼ

She fell onto Aether, their faces almost touching, a moment of intense closeness enveloping them. Selene gazed into his soulful eyes, and Aether looked back into her wonderful blue eyes filled with love and tenderness.

For a brief moment, they forgot to breathe, lost in the intensity of the moment...

[+4000 Affection]

”Y-You know... Iʼve been waiting for so long to hear my name from you,” she whispered with a smile, her eyes shimmering with a hint of tears.

Her gaze drifted to his lips.... her head leaned in unconsciously...

”~Hmm~”
