Hearing Sylvia say that, Layla felt a faint sense of shared misfortune…
Sigh, what was there to say? If they were being honest, she and Sylvia were currently a bit deflated.
Ever since they saw that live broadcast in the temple, it felt like their last shred of hope had been severed. Their beloved Keti really seemed to be turning into a girl, and she even had someone she liked…
Furthermore, that person seemed quite capable of satisfying Keti.
As for them, although they were confident that no one else loved Keti more than they did… at the end of the day, they weren’t Alice. They were just former comrades who had spent some time together.
Whether in terms of their relationship or the current situation, it seemed there was no longer any possibility of re-entering the fray and snatching Keti away.
But…
The purple-haired, jellyfish-cut older sister still wanted to be with Keti.
She believed that no matter if the gentle Keti eventually became a wife or a mother, she certainly wouldn’t ignore the bonds they once shared!
So, for now… her only remaining motivation was to help Keti.
She wanted to help her win, and she wanted to help her avoid being bullied…
Then, she would wait for the day Keti changed her mind!
The desire to help Keti was shared by the other students participating in this competition.
The two students besides Ximon, though they had performed significantly better than usual, were still somewhat depressed because they hadn’t achieved the top rankings.
And while Little Master Ximon comforted them, he wasn’t feeling very confident himself.
The final round of the competition—Mental Resistance…
Ximon could only fix his gaze on the bracelet, taking a deep breath. ‘Can… can I do this?’
‘I… I…’
The Little Master took two more deep breaths, then stared forward with determined eyes.
‘I can only trust that Miss elf! The facility applying pressure to us… it has to work!’
Then, in the next second, a pink light shone into the eyes of every contestant on the field… and what surfaced were scenes of eerie imagery.
When he came to his senses, the Little Master looked around at his surroundings with a daze.
‘This place… seems to be…’
‘Teacher Keti’s Office?!’
Hiss…
In an instant, Ximon realized what the specific content of this mental trial likely was.
The Little Master’s face immediately flushed red. Then, he saw a silver-haired girl dressed in an OL teacher’s outfit, complete with a black bodycon skirt and glasses, suddenly appear before him.
“Student Ximon, you’re being a naughty boy~”
“Gulp… T-Teacher…”
Ximon couldn’t help but swallow hard, then he violently shook his head.
“No, that’s wrong! You’re an illusion… this is just the mental power test’s illusion, I…”
“Heh heh heh, you’re still quite rational. Student Ximon, I’m starting to look at you in a new light.”
The silver-haired girl in the illusion curled her lips into a charming smile, then slowly leaned closer to the heart-pounding Little Master.
“But… have you ever wondered why the person you see in this beautiful dream is me? Our relationship isn’t even that good yet, is it?”
“Pfft… in other words, in your subconscious, you have those kinds of thoughts about me, don’t you? Since that’s the case… an opportunity like this won’t exist in reality~”
Ximon took a deep breath, feeling as though Teacher Keti before him was as seductive as a Succubus at this moment.
He involuntarily backed away, and then… he was pinned to the floor by the silver-haired girl’s high-heeled shoe.
“Heh heh heh, you really are like a cute little puppy. But… to put on that sour face and look down on me so much, only to awaken such a strange mentality after being beaten by me. My, my, you’re quite the impressive pervert.”
“Ugh…”
Ximon said nothing to that. Or rather, it was just hard to refute. After all, it was true…
He had already realized it. The scene before him was exactly what he had dreamed of. If he could, he wished this usually pure and cute Teacher Keti would transform into a sadistic queen and whip him.
But… but…
“Don’t try to struggle or resist anymore. Pfft, if you think about it, isn’t this great? You can satisfy your wishes in a dream, and you’re in a competition right now, aren’t you?”
“If you end up showing a ‘cute’ expression on the stage because it feels too good in the dream, your life will be over, Student Ximon~”
The seductive voice continued to ring in his ear, making Ximon’s entire body tremble.
Indeed, he was in a competition right now. If he just accepted this, his life would be over!
But… but…
Gulp…
Ximon swallowed hard.
‘I can’t refuse at all! Even if it means social death, I want…’
‘What should I do, what should I do… I want to be Teacher Keti’s dog so badly.’
“How about it? Do you want to make your choice right now~?”
The sweet whispers in the illusion made Ximon on the stage tremble uncontrollably…
Meanwhile, Sylvia, who was watching from below the stage, was completely baffled.
‘No… wait, this kid… didn’t I already give him the Suppression Gem?’
‘Why does this guy still look like a piece of trash about to be taken down?’
‘This isn’t right.’
‘This is really not right… where did it go wrong? Is it possible that I failed to make the Suppression Gem correctly from the start?’
‘That’s impossible… if that were the case, Lynn would have definitely run into trouble by now, and Keti would have been locked in a dark room by me long ago. How could…’
“Sylvia, this is… this is bad. It looks like he’s going to lose. How can this be… this Little Master’s level of masochism might be beyond our imagination. What do we do?”
“Tch… this fellow…”
The green-haired elf knit her eyebrows and suddenly activated her magic.
The magical power of the Suppression Gem was originally supplied by her. Now, it seemed she had to overclock it!
And so, immediately after, suddenly…
Ximon within the dream abruptly snapped awake.
Looking at the silver-haired girl teacher who had already turned into a Succubus, he immediately took a deep breath.
‘No, I can’t… I can’t be seduced!’
‘True, I really do want to be stepped on and bullied by Teacher Keti, but…’
‘I…’
‘It was precisely because I was beaten by Teacher Keti that I realized how arrogant, overbearing, and dismissive I used to be, like a conceited clown…’
That wasn’t just a beating that turned him into a masochist; it was a beating that changed his life!
So…
Now, Teacher Keti’s career was resting on his shoulders. This responsibility, this act of returning the favor…
Was far more important than simply indulging in this beautiful dream!
“I… I’ll be Teacher Keti’s dog in reality, I won’t give in to you—!”
Accompanied by Ximon’s loud shout, the figure before him suddenly dissipated without a trace…
The Little Master looked around in confusion.
He… was the first one to escape the illusion.
