Although she had promised Er Cui, Keti didn’t agree just because she wanted to trigger a Defeat CG! Rather, this was her own business, and the wager had been born from her own impulsive moment.
Under these circumstances, allowing her rival to get involved and risk his job because of her own issues was something Keti could not accept!
So, even if the wager involved putting herself on the line, it was better than troubling her rival. After all… her feelings for him were…
“Heh heh, then it’s a deal… I won’t lose anyway. Sign this paper so you can’t back out later.”
“I’ll sign it!”
The silver-haired girl had no reason to lose. She had already pulled her two former comrades over to her side. If she still lost after that, there would truly be no justice in the world!
Thus, the two of them produced a piece of paper on the spot and wrote down the terms of the wager.
Finally, after Ebert saw Keti sign her name, he let out a vulgar chuckle and walked away with a triumphant air.
“Ugh…”
‘I didn’t realize before, but why is this guy so sleazy? He’s probably already started fantasizing in his head… To think he’d dare to bet his position at the Magic Tower for something like this…’
Keti let out a helpless sigh, but deep down, she was also a bit happy. Since she believed she wouldn’t lose, she might finally become an Official Teacher after this competition.
Though it still felt a bit surreal, the silver-haired girl felt a strong sense of deservingness!
After all, she already had an A-rank in terms of Gift, which made her a standout even among the Official Teacher ranks at the Magic Academy.
Continuing to serve as a teaching assistant in this situation was definitely not an option!
Well… but what should she do after becoming an Official Teacher? She didn’t necessarily need to keep climbing to higher positions; she just wanted to live a good, normal life.
And… she still had to deal with this rival of hers, ugh…
“Don’t start your fantasy time just yet, little kitten. Didn’t you notice that fellow’s attitude suddenly shifted from extreme loathing to being a twisted ‘Keti-simp’?”
“Eh?!”
Her head was tapped by her rival in annoyance, and the silver-haired girl’s face immediately flushed a deep crimson.
Wh—Wh-wh-wh-what?!
“Don’t make it sound like I’m some bitch succubus who just seduces men! Who used Enchantment Magic? I didn’t even transform!”
“Well… actually, ever since you returned from the temple, I’ve noticed that your Succubus Form seems to have become a passive skill.”
“As long as someone makes eye contact with you, it activates unconsciously. It’s gotten to the point where I’m a bit afraid to look the Succubus Lady in the eye lately~”
Lynn seemed a bit embarrassed, but this gave the silver-haired girl an opportunity. Hearing her rival’s words, Keti immediately curled her lips into a smirk.
Well… so that’s how it is~
“Hehe, I can’t just act like I didn’t hear that. What’s this? You’re afraid to look me in the eye? How innocent of you.”
“Hmph, what are you pretending for? Come, come, look at me. Let’s turn you into a Keti-simp too~ Hehehe… Eek!”
Keti hadn’t even been arrogant for a full minute before she was immediately disciplined by her rival. Lynn pinched the silver-haired girl’s soft cheek and gave a wicked grin.
“Fine, I’ve been holding back. Since you’re delivering yourself to my door, little kitten… let’s do it right here in the school~ Let’s find somewhere private.”
“Eh, no, wait! I still have to watch the match! You can’t do this, let go of me, let go! Mmph—”
In short, the silver-haired girl was carried off by her rival to his office.
Keti, who had originally been focused on the arena, could now only silently support herself against the back of the sofa, tilting her hips upward.
Ugh…
Her heart was pounding wildly.
Ah… damn, this feels way too intense. It’s like the moment I’m pinned down by my rival, this state automatically unlocks. This is… this is so bad…
But the competition—what about the competition over there?
Argh, there’s a serious wager on the line; I have to pay attention to the situation. If something goes wrong, I need to be there to fix it.
How can I be here indulging in this? As the students’ Teacher, this is simply professional negligence. If the students saw me enjoying myself here alone, it would be too…
Guh…
However, the more she thought that way, the more chaotic her mind became, and she felt less and less able to care about the arena. Finally, Lynn hugged her tightly and they kissed.
*Mmuph… chu…*
With a wave of his hand, her rival opened a holographic projection for the little kitten who was still worried about the arena. It showed the current situation of the matches.
Of course, it could only serve as background noise now.
It was obvious that this wasn’t meant to make Miss Keti focus on the arena, but rather an excuse prepared for her so she could stay here with a clear conscience.
Evidently, Keti wasn’t paying attention to the events on the field at all; instead, she was savoring the kiss with her rival.
The sensation below was getting itchier and itchier, and the silver-haired girl gave her rival a bashful, resentful glare.
This guy…
Hur… hurry up and start the real show!
Anyway, the competition officially began. Of course, this refers to the school competition. Ah… but in reality, both sides started at the same time.
At first, Keti handled things quite easily. Her rival’s offensive — no, rather, the offensive from the other classes’ students — was just mediocre.
On the field where Sylvia and Layla participated, it was as simple as cutting through butter; no one could pose a threat to them. Naturally, Keti’s side was the same!
The silver-haired girl narrowed her eyes slightly, marveling at how much her endurance had improved recently.
Even though she was being attacked from three directions by her rival, she could still handle it with ease.
However…
The situation quickly took a drastic turn!
After Layla and Sylvia easily claimed their championships, the other side of the competition field wasn’t so easy.
The students in Keti’s class were… well, they were mostly there to make up the numbers, so she hadn’t expected much.
Even though their results were middle-of-the-pack, still…
“Ah… this is bad. The students under that Ebert fellow are truly top-tier students. They’ve already taken two championships.”
“This is getting tricky; they’re about even with the little kitten’s side now… both have two championships~”
Lynn leaned close to Keti’s ear with a mischievous grin and whispered, “In the final event, that guy’s student seems to be the heavy favorite to win.”
“On Keti-chan’s side, as for Ximon… can he do it? It looks like winning will be difficult. It seems the little kitten is going to lose~”
“Nnh~ ah… no… I’m going to lose… *chu*…”
She was going to lose… Nnh, nnh, nnh~
