Chapter 2: Chastised Even at the Hero Training School
The next morning, I woke up and stepped outside to find a magnificent building towering before me.
The vast campus was dotted with stone and wooden structures, their walls adorned with solemn reliefs. Lush green forests surrounded the area, the air crisp and refreshing.
So this is the Hero Training School—
“Good morning.”
Lilia-san’s voice came from behind me, having appeared without me noticing.
“Classes start in an hour, so you need to finish breakfast before then. Let’s head to the dining hall.”
She started walking without waiting for a reply, heading toward an especially massive building paved with stone tiles.
As I followed her into the dining hall, I thought I’d stepped into paradise. The room was filled with students, half of whom were women.
They’re all so cute—the sensory overload is too much!
I instinctively lowered my gaze, only to be greeted by a sea of beautiful legs peeking out from miniskirts.
Pure eye candy. I’d date any of them.
“Stop grinning and get your food.”
Lilia-san kicked my calf. It was like she’d read my mind.
Distracted by the women passing by, I made my way to the center of the dining hall, where an array of dishes was laid out in abundance.
“Can I eat all of this?”
“It’s a buffet, so obviously.”
“What about payment...?”
“It’s free for anyone affiliated with the academy.”
“Is this heaven?”
Eating lavish meals while surrounded by beautiful women was a scenario I couldn’t have imagined twenty-four hours ago.
Back in the organization, we huddled in grimy caves, eating smelly monster meat or half-rotten vegetables.
Escaping was the best decision ever...!!
I grabbed a wooden tray and plate but was overwhelmed by the sheer variety, hesitating as my eyes darted around. Just then, a female student approached Lilia-san.
“Good morning, Lilia-sensei. Is that the new transfer student?”
This girl stood out even among the other women in the dining hall—she was breathtaking. And the moment our eyes met, she gave me a gentle smile.
She’s too divine to look at! I quickly lowered my gaze.
“Yes, this is Leon-san, transferring in today. His combat skills rival even mine.”
“If Lilia-sensei says that, he must be incredible...”
“Perfect timing—let me introduce you. Leon-san, this is our class president, Sierra-san. Say hello.”
Lilia-san prompted me, but Sierra-san was so dazzling I couldn’t lift my head.
“Uh... um... nice to meet you...”
Mumbling while staring at the floor was the best I could manage. Lilia-san looked exasperated.
“Leon-san, your voice is too quiet. Stop muttering and look her in the eyes when you speak clearly.”
“It’s fine, Lilia-sensei.”
Sierra-san spoke soothingly before turning her smile back to me.
“It’s your first day, so it’s natural to be nervous. Don’t worry about it.”
“...A goddess...!!”
A kind and beautiful girl? She’s perfect. I’d started to think all beautiful girls were harsh like Lilia-san, but—
“Are you thinking something rude?”
My grin must’ve given me away, as Lilia-san glared at me. I wiped the smile off my face and looked down again.
“Lilia-sensei, don’t intimidate him. ...Um, I’m Sierra, the class president. If you ever need help, feel free to ask, okay?”
“An angel...!!”
“Leon-san, stop swooning every second. We don’t have much time before class, so hurry up and get your breakfast.”
Lilia-san snapped irritably. I rushed to the food area.
I wanted to take my time choosing, but lingering would likely earn me another scolding, so I grabbed whatever meat dishes caught my eye.
“Hey!!”
Lilia-san smacked the back of my head.
“Use chopsticks to serve yourself.”
Still fuming, she held out two thin sticks.
“Chopsticks... I’ve heard of such utensils. So these are them...?”
I muttered, and Lilia-san looked shocked.
“You don’t know chopsticks? Are you a caveman?”
“Lilia-sensei, it’s not nice to say that about cultural differences.”
Sierra-san gently chided her before turning to me.
“Chopsticks can be tricky at first, but they’re useful, so give them a try.”
“How do you use them?”
“You hold them between your fingers like this to pick up food.”
“I see... looks tough...”
“Then, until you get the hang of it, I’ll serve your food for you. Tell me what you want.”
“A goddess of compassion...!!”
My praise earned another glare from Lilia-san.
“Sierra-san, I have work to do, so can I leave Leon-san in your care?”
“Got it. Leave it to me.”
Sierra-san agreed, puffing out her ample chest with confidence. What a presence.
Meanwhile, Lilia-san munched on a sandwich and left the dining hall.
With Sierra-san’s help, I picked out my food, but—
“Eating only meat will unbalance your nutrition. Let’s add some fish and vegetables.”
Trusting her judgment, I ended up with a vibrant, almost artistic plate. If I’d chosen alone, it would’ve been a monochrome pile of meat.
Sierra-san even sat at my table and patiently taught me how to use chopsticks.
No matter how many times I dropped food, she stuck with me.
But my lack of progress made the meal drag on slowly.
“Sorry for making you babysit me like this...”
“Don’t worry about it. Everyone has a first time.”
“A pure angel...!!”
“Besides, this reminds me of teaching my little brother how to use chopsticks.”
Sierra-san smiled like a clear blue sky.
I want to marry her... Coming to this school was the best decision ever...!!
To repay her kindness, I had to master chopsticks quickly.
Gripping them tightly, I practiced relentlessly.
“...So cute... I wanna raise him...”
I could’ve sworn I heard Sierra-san mutter that as she looked at me struggling through my meal.
“Huh? What was that?”
“Oh, nothing.”
Sierra-san replied awkwardly, looking away.
Must’ve misheard her. “Cute” is a word you use for girls or little kids, right?
S S S
By the time I finally finished breakfast, it was nearly time for class to start. Sierra-san led me to the first-year classroom.
About thirty students were gathered inside, roughly half of them girls. They all turned to look at me at once, whispering among themselves.
“Leon-kun’s the one who got fast-tracked by the strict Lilia-sensei, according to the rumors. Everyone’s super curious.”
Sierra-san filled me in. True enough, Lilia-san had completely ignored my wishes and enrolled me on the spot...
Still, being the subject of gossip among all the girls in the room felt pretty great.
The seats were free, so I sat next to Sierra-san in the front row.
A new space, an unfamiliar vibe. With Sierra-san right beside me, my heart was racing.
Soon after, Lilia-san entered the classroom.
The moment she did, the chatter stopped instantly.
“Good morning, everyone. First, let me introduce our transfer student. Leon-san, come up and say hello.”
Prompted, I stood and glanced around, only to find every girl in the class staring at me.
“...I’m Leon... nice to meet you...”
I couldn’t help but look away, my voice barely above a whisper. Lilia-san sighed.
Feeling awkward, I quickly sat back down, and Sierra-san gently patted my head.
“You’re fine. Everyone in this class is kind, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
...So warm... It was like my frozen body was thawing under the arrival of spring.
Meanwhile, Lilia-san shot me an irritated glare before tossing me a textbook and starting the lesson.
According to the book, first period was 【Healing Pharmacology】, a class about learning the properties of medicinal herbs and how to prepare them.
I’d always thought herbs were just something you swallowed raw, so I was shocked to learn there were established methods to enhance their effects or reduce their bitterness.
Lilia-san was explaining a herb called sunlit grass, but the jargon was so dense I barely understood half of it.
That aside, Lilia-san looked absolutely stunning while teaching. And since she’s an instructor, I could stare as much as I wanted without issue—brilliant.
Plus, when I glanced to the side, there was Sierra-san, diligently taking notes. Her profile was angelic.
I’m totally smitten with Sierra-san. As long as she’s in this class, I can endure anything.
So, I ignored the lesson entirely, sneaking glances back and forth between Lilia-san and Sierra-san. This school is the best.
S S S
Right after the first period ended, Lilia-san called me out to the hallway.
The moment I stepped out, she stomped on my foot with full force.
“Stop ogling me and Sierra-san during class.”
Lilia-san was pissed. Apparently, she’d been holding back her anger during the lesson.
“I wasn’t ogling...”
“Then you were paying attention, right? Tell me the habitat of sunlit grass, the best time to harvest it, and how to prepare it.”
“...I don’t know a single thing.”
“I’ll crush your foot.”
Immediately after her declaration, Lilia-san tried to grind my left foot into the floor. I reflexively pulled back to dodge.
“I’m sorry for ogling...”
“Do it again, and I’ll kill you.”
With a low, menacing tone, Lilia-san stormed back into the classroom.
I waited five seconds in the hallway before returning to my seat.
“Um... I heard Lilia-sensei yelling. Is something wrong...?”
Sierra-san, sitting next to me, asked hesitantly. She seemed worried, but I couldn’t exactly tell her the truth.
“Well... I got scolded for not focusing in class...”
“Is that all? If it’s okay with you, I can help explain anything you didn’t understand. Is there anything bothering you?”
“It’s not exactly bothering me, but there were so many unfamiliar terms that I couldn’t follow the lesson...”
“I see. Then take notes on what you didn’t understand. I’ll go over them with you during lunch or after school, as much as I can.”
“Thank you...!”
With that, I resolved to change my ways and actually pay attention to the lessons, even if I didn’t get them.
As instructed, I jotted down what I didn’t understand, cutting my staring at Lilia-san and Sierra-san by about twenty percent. I also hid my face behind the textbook when sneaking glances at Sierra-san to avoid Lilia-san’s notice.
By the way, second period was 【Toxicology】, learning about paralyzing or sleeping potions used against monsters; third period was 【Monsterology】, studying monster ecology and habitats; and fourth period was 【History】, covering the kingdom’s past.
I hated the grueling training back in the organization, but sitting through lectures was just as painful. Still, being in the same room as beautiful girls made it a billion times more enjoyable.
S S S
After morning classes, I ate lunch in the dining hall while reporting my questions to Sierra-san. There were over thirty, but she answered them patiently without a single grimace until right before afternoon classes began.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, Sierra-san, I’m getting a lot smarter.”
“No, no, if my clumsy explanations help, feel free to ask anytime.”
Too angelic—I’m nothing but grateful. I want to marry her right now.
When lunch break ended, I headed outside with Sierra-san. The afternoon was for practical training.
“We’ll now conduct monster-slaying training.”
Lilia-san announced this as we gathered at the entrance to the 【Arena】 on the academy grounds.
“I haven’t explained to Leon-san yet, but this school keeps monsters in cages for combat training. Monsters are ranked, and defeating one solo in the 【Arena】 lets you challenge the next rank. That said, I doubt any monster here would give Leon-san, who one-shotted a dragon, any trouble.”
The moment Lilia-san said that, a murmur rippled through the crowd.
“One-shotted a dragon...!?” “Is that for real...?” “But Lilia-sensei brought him in, so...”
All eyes were on me. I had to say something...
“Back then, the dragon was focused on Lilia-san, so I just got a lucky sneak attack. Solo, I’d lose if my luck ran out.”
I meant to be humble, but the murmurs grew louder.
“No way, nobody takes on a dragon solo...” “So he could win unless he’s unlucky...?”
The girls in the class were giving me heated looks. Super embarrassing, but insanely thrilling.
Maybe one of them will admire me and want to get closer...!!
No, wait, my heart’s set on Sierra-san...!!
Meanwhile, Lilia-san was glaring at me, clearly displeased.
“Then, Leon-san, how about you take on the highest-ranked monster we have here?”
I agreed without hesitation. Led by Lilia-san, I moved to the center of the sand-covered First Arena.
Soon, the iron gate in front of me swung open, revealing a centaur.
It was easily over three meters long, with arms as thick as my torso.
“GUOOOOH!!”
The centaur let out a roar and charged at me with ferocious speed.
Centaurs are supposed to be intelligent and capable of human speech, but this one clearly had no interest in talking.
Its muscular ten fingers closed in. If it grabbed me, it’d break my bones in a blink, leaving me with irreparable injuries.
But I didn’t run. I charged forward, dropping low at the last second, betting it couldn’t reach me if I slid underneath.
Sensing my plan, the centaur kicked off the ground, leaping to crush me with its front hooves.
Bad move. I unleashed an iaijutsu slash toward the sky.
In an instant, both of the centaur’s front legs were severed.
Following through, I bisected its torso with a returning strike.
Its guts spilled out, sealing its fate.
As it collapsed, gasping and glaring at me, I lopped off its head to end its suffering.
“—Well done, Leon-san.”
Lilia-san, standing nearby, gave a faint smile and sheathed her sword.
“I was ready to step in if needed, but that was unnecessary worry.”
“It was a pretty young centaur.”
I replied, wiping the blood from my blade. It probably hadn’t faced a reckless opponent charging head-on before.
Soon, my classmates gathered around, whispering about me or curiously inspecting the centaur’s corpse.
Then Lilia-san stepped in front of me and spoke.
“Leon-san, I’m appointing you as this class’s 【Instructor’s Assistant】.”
“—Huh?!” “No way!!”
The crowd reacted with shock before I could.
“Appointed on his first day...? Is that even possible...?” “After that fight, it makes sense.” “Assistant to Lilia-sensei... I’m so jealous...!!”
I wasn’t sure what was happening, but it sounded like a big deal. I asked.
“What’s an 【Instructor’s Assistant】?”
“As the name suggests, it’s a student who assists me. Typically, it’s given to the most outstanding student in the class. Normally, we’d evaluate based on combat achievements and written exams, but I believe no one here surpasses your talent.”
The moment Lilia-san declared this, cheers erupted, followed a beat later by applause.
Looking around, I saw the girls in my class gazing at me with envy.
This is bad—I might actually have a shot here. Maybe I can touch a girl’s chest without going to an adult entertainment district...
I couldn’t help but grin, scratching my head and looking down.
Then Lilia-san closed the distance and whispered in my ear.
“Don’t get too full of yourself. 【Instructor’s Assistant】 sounds prestigious, but it’s really just an errand boy.”
“—Wait, really?”
“Obviously. I’ll work you to the bone day and night, so be ready.”
Lilia-san smirked triumphantly.
S S S
“That was really incredible. You’re so strong, Leon-kun...”
After afternoon classes, Sierra-san ran up to me, but she seemed oddly downcast.
“Sierra-san... is something wrong?”
“N-No... I’m not sure myself, but seeing a child grow so fast makes me feel happy and a little sad at the same time...”
“...?”
I didn’t quite get what Sierra-san meant. A child growing fast...?
“I guess you don’t need me anymore, Leon-san...”
“No, I need you so much. I still can’t use chopsticks at all, and I’ll need your help with lessons in the future.”
“Really?”
Sierra-san’s face lit up instantly.
“Then, want to review today’s lessons somewhere now?”
“Oh, sorry. Lilia-san told me to stay here for some special training.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Yeah... so, as much as I hate to, I’ll have to ask for your help another time...”
“Got it. See you tomorrow then.”
Sierra-san gave a small wave and left me behind. Having to turn down her invitation was agonizing.
The other students left the 【Arena】, leaving just me and Lilia-san.
“What did you think of your first day at this school?”
Lilia-san asked as we moved to the spot where I’d fought the centaur.
“Well... there are so many girls—it’s an amazing place...”
“Your jaw was practically on the floor the whole time. Is Sierra-san your favorite?”
“F-Favorite? I just think everyone’s wonderful...”
“So you’re fine with anyone? How shameless.”
“Th-That’s a misunderstanding!”
I protested, but Lilia-san gave me a skeptical look.
Well... it’s true I thought I’d date anyone, so I can’t really defend myself...
“Enough pointless talk—let’s start the special training. First, I want to see just how weak you are to 【Monster Girls】.”
Right after her declaration, Lilia-san pressed a switch, raising the iron gate. Apparently, the area beyond was where combat-training monsters were kept.
When the gate fully opened, a beautiful girl stepped out. She had blue hair and wore a dress that looked like it was made of water.
The dress was semi-transparent in places, with a plunging neckline revealing her cleavage. The skirt was short, exposing her legs almost to the hips.
Is this the legendary seductress...? Thank you...!!
—Then I noticed her hair was made of a translucent, jelly-like material.
“This is today’s lesson material: a slime 【Monster Girl】.”
Lilia-san addressed me in an unforgiving tone as I stared intently at the creature.
“Defeat it however you like. You won’t lose to a slime, right?”
“...Probably.”
A normal slime could be crushed in an instant without even needing my sword.
But...
“Onii-chan... are you gonna bully me...?”
The slime 【Monster Girl】—【Slime-san (temp. name)】—turned teary eyes toward me.
I quickly looked away, glancing at Lilia-san.
“There’s no need to feel guilty. 【Monster Girls】 only look cute to make humans let their guard down. This one was captured attacking villagers—it’s an evil monster.”
“R-Right...”
Steeling myself, I glared at the target.
“Wah... Onii-chan, you’re so scary...”
No good. She’s too cute.
I knew in my head she was a monster, but all I could see was a frail, pitiful girl.
Crushing her like any other slime? I just can’t...
While I hesitated, the slime suddenly lunged forward.
Distracted by her bouncing chest peeking through the translucent dress, I took a blow to the stomach, knocking the wind out of me.
I collapsed on my back, and 【Slime-san】 straddled me.
“Haha! You totally fell for me, didn’t you, Onii-chan!”
She gazed down at me with an ecstatic expression. I could feel the soft sensation of her hips against my stomach, and the glimpse inside her short skirt made my heart race.
I need to fight back, I thought, but my body wouldn’t move. Was this the effect of her charm, or did my instincts just want to savor this moment a bit longer—
“Lucky for me you’re a 【Virgin】! I’ll just beat you to death now!”
Immediately, 【Slime-san】 gleefully started pummeling me.
S S S
“To think someone who took down a dragon got beaten by a mere slime...”
Lilia-san, who’d restrained 【Slime-san】 with chains to save me, looked at me like I was vermin.
We were in the 【Arena】’s waiting room, where I’d been taken after she returned the slime to its cage.
“Just to confirm, you’re not doing this on purpose, right?”
“I’m sorry for being worthless... I’m just really not used to women...”
“Sure, that 【Monster Girl】 showed a lot of skin, but it’s still just a monster, you know?”
“Even if you say that...”
I answered weakly, and Lilia-san furrowed her delicate brows.
“This isn’t something we can fix overnight...”
She crossed her arms, lost in thought for a moment.
“...For now, we need to make you see 【Monster Girls】 as monsters and prefer human women.”
“I get that logically... but...”
“So, you’re saying you can’t help staring at a 【Monster Girl】 in skimpy clothes? How vulgar.”
Lilia-san’s gaze turned ice-cold, dripping with contempt. There’s no defending myself... But any guy would feel the same, right...?
Sure, losing to a slime was pathetic, but a 【Monster Girl】’s beauty has nothing to do with strength...
“—No choice then. We’ll have to force you to build resistance.”
Lilia-san said with a bitter expression.
“What, like sending me to an 【Adult Store】?”
“As an instructor, I’d never say that. Are you insane?”
“Sorry... Then how...?”
I asked cautiously, and Lilia-san opened her mouth with a deeply reluctant look.
“...As your instructor, I’ll figure something out.”
“You will...?”
As I struggled to process her words, Lilia-san suddenly shed her jacket.
Before my stunned eyes, she reached for the buttons of her white blouse and began undoing them swiftly.
With each button unfastened, more of her soft skin came into view.
Eventually, I was graced with a glimpse of the undergarment cradling her feminine curves. It was white, adorned with intricate embroidery.
As I gaped, she continued disrobing, casting off her blouse entirely.
Now, her upper body was clad only in that single piece of underwear. Her ample cleavage was fully exposed, utterly tantalizing.
Out of courtesy, I tried to look away, but it was impossible not to catch it in the corner of my eye.
“L-Lilia-san, what are you doing...!?”
“What does it look like? I’m trying to build your resistance, obviously.”
Lilia-san continued in a sharp tone.
“Since it’s clear you’re a pervert, stop looking away and face me properly.”
“E-Even if you say that...”
I mumbled some token modesty but let my gaze drift to Lilia-san’s chest.
Her pure white curves were beyond beautiful. I’m so glad to be alive...
“You look like an idiot.”
Lilia-san spat coldly, then reached for the button on her skirt, undoing it and letting it fall to the floor.
“!?”
“Now, I’m showing more skin than that 【Monster Girl】 did.”
Lilia-san stated matter-of-factly, watching my reaction.
“Between me and the 【Monster Girl】, who do you find more attractive?”
“O-Of course it’s you, Lilia-san...!!”
My voice trembled as I stared intently at her in her underwear. I had to burn this image into my retinas before she changed her mind.
“...I did say to look, but staring this shamelessly? You really are a pervert...”
Lilia-san seemed exasperated, but I couldn’t tear my eyes away.
“Since I went this far, you can beat that slime now, right?”
“A-Absolutely...!!”
I answered without taking my eyes off her chest.
Then, out of nowhere, Lilia-san made a demand in an angry tone.
“Take your clothes off too, Leon-san.”
“—Huh?! W-Why...!?”
“It’s unfair if I’m the only one like this.”
“B-But you’re the one who chose to strip—”
“Shut up. Hurry.”
“Y-Yes...”
With no choice, I quickly shed my uniform, baring my upper body.
“...Nice muscles.”
Lilia-san gave a slight smile, eyeing my pecs and abs.
“D-Don’t stare too much...”
“Stop saying creepy things and take off the rest.”
“What...”
Reluctantly, I lowered my pants, leaving me in just my underwear.
“I see... so that’s what a man’s body looks like.”
Lilia-san muttered with curiosity.
Feeling her gaze linger on my lower abdomen, I covered myself with both hands.
“Are you embarrassed by me looking?”
“O-Obviously!”
“Hmm.”
Lilia-san sounded surprised, then flashed a wicked grin.
“Then how about taking off that last piece?”
“No way!”
“Too bad.”
With a dispassionate tone, Lilia-san began putting her clothes back on. Apparently, the service was over.
“Now, defeat that slime 【Monster Girl】 for real. I went this far, so I won’t forgive you if you get charmed again.”
Fired up, I replied with confidence.
“Absolutely.”
S S S
We moved back to the center of the First 【Arena】, and the iron gate was raised.
【Slime-san】 walked out, and I gripped the hilt with my right hand and the scabbard with my left.
Thanks to Lilia-san, I’d built some resistance to scantily clad women.
Now, I couldn’t even fathom why I’d been swayed earlier.
With newfound composure, I faced 【Slime-san】.
“I’m scared... What’s Onii-chan gonna do to me...?”
Her trembling eyes met mine, and my confidence wavered instantly.
Sure, Lilia-san in her underwear was beautiful and overwhelming, but 【Slime-san】 was cute in her own way.
I couldn’t help but let my guard down, earning a glare from Lilia-san.
“...Sorry, but if I lose this, I don’t know what’ll happen. I have to cut you down.”
Shaking off my hesitation, I drew my sword and pointed it at 【Slime-san】. But—
“Nooo... I’ll do something nice for you if you stop...”
As she spoke, 【Slime-san】 reached for the straps of her dress.
And—slowly began pulling them down.
As the dress lowered, her pristine cleavage came into view. And then—
Her perfectly shaped breasts were fully exposed.
She wasn’t wearing any undergarments. The pale, peach-tipped orbs were completely bare.
I fully understood she was a 【Monster Girl】, a non-human, and a target for extermination.
But even so, their beauty was impossible to resist.
“If you drop that sword, I’ll show you something even better...”
The moment her voice reached my ears, I threw my precious sword—the one as dear as my life—onto the ground.
“—Hehe, silly Onii-chan♪”
【Slime-san】 flashed a bold grin and lunged at me, her chest still fully exposed.
I sensed the danger but couldn’t dodge, thanks to my male instincts.
As a result, I collided head-on with 【Slime-san】. Savoring her soft touch, I was pushed backward.
“I’ll make you regret using me as training material! Die! Die!”
Straddling me, 【Slime-san】 screamed and started pummeling me.
Each time she swung her arms, her breasts jiggled with the motion. It was, without a doubt, the most sublime sight I’d ever seen in my life.
S S S
“Making me go that far, and you’re still this pathetic...! You need to be punished...!”
Lilia-san, who’d saved me again, stood with arms crossed, glaring at me as I knelt in just my underwear.
She was furious, and the moment we returned to the waiting room, she’d ordered me to “Strip”.
“B-But I lasted longer than the first time—”
“It’s meaningless if you get charmed in the end. You just stood there watching as the 【Monster Girl】 lowered her dress, didn’t you?”
“That’s...”
“You’re the lowest scum.”
“I mean, you only showed me up to your underwear, Lilia-san, so...”
“What? Are you saying this is my fault?”
Lilia-san furrowed her delicate brows, glaring at me.
“Not at all! It’s entirely my fault!”
“Obviously. Don’t ever shift the blame again.”
“Yes...”
As I hung my head, Lilia-san looked at me like I was something to be stepped on.
“Honestly... you have such skill and muscle... Wouldn’t cutting it off get rid of your lust?”
The moment her gaze dropped to my lower half, I broke out in goosebumps from sheer terror.
“Please, anything but that...”
I haven’t even used it yet... No, even if I had, I’d still hate it...
“Fine, then as punishment, one hundred push-ups.”
The moment she said it, I dropped to the floor and began high-speed push-ups.
Lilia-san, looking down at me, darkened her expression.
“Are one hundred push-ups too easy for you?”
“Yeah, this kind of training was daily back in the organization, so it doesn’t faze me.”
“I see...”
Lilia-san pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, then placed her right foot on my back.
“Then I’ll add some weight.”
Immediately, I felt her weight pressing down.
In that moment, an unfamiliar emotion welled up inside me.
I couldn’t quite explain it, but it felt... pleasant?
For now, I kept doing push-ups while Lilia-san stepped on me.
“What... you can keep going even with this?”
“Yeah, this happened a lot. Plus, Lilia-san, your stepping is way lighter than the guys who used to harass me.”
“Mrr...!”
Lilia-san let out a frustrated noise, staring intently at my face.
“Why do you look so happy about being stepped on?”
“—Huh? Happy?”
“You’re grinning like crazy. Are you a masochist or something?”
The moment she asked, I realized the true nature of the depraved emotion swirling in my chest.
No way... that can’t be...
Back in the organization, I’d endured similar treatment from rough men, and it drove me to escape.
But now, I was feeling joy instead of pain...? Because it’s Lilia-san...?
As I grappled with my confusion, Lilia-san sat down on my back.
And she lifted both feet off the ground, resting her full weight on me.
I can feel Lilia-san’s hips through her skirt...!!
“How’s this? Does it hurt?”
Lilia-san asked playfully, but I was too overwhelmed to answer right away.
So soft...! It’s paradise...!
To prolong this sensation even a second longer, I started acting.
“Tch... this is tough... ugh...!”
I groaned as if struggling, slowing my push-ups to half speed.
“Hehe, is that so?”
Lilia-san crossed her legs on my back, letting out a pleased laugh.
It seemed she hadn’t seen through my act—I still had plenty of strength left.
Savoring the feel of her soft skin, I kept going.
I wish this moment could last forever...
“...Huh? How many was that again?”
After a while of bouncing up and down, Lilia-san spoke in an exaggerated tone.
“I lost count, so let’s start over. One, two~”
She began counting cheerfully.
She might’ve meant it as harassment, but to me, it was nothing short of a reward.
“...Ninety-nine, one hundred.”
As my arm muscles neared their limit, I completed the hundred push-ups.
Careful not to let Lilia-san fall, I slowly collapsed to the floor.
“...You look awfully satisfied, Leon-san.”
Standing up, Lilia-san peered at my face, muttering accusingly.
“N-No, I’m not happy or anything...”
But the afterglow was too intense—I couldn’t stop smiling.
“Normally, people would be angry at an instructor doing this. Yet you look so thrilled... You really are a masochist, aren’t you?”
“N-No way...!!”
I’m definitely not a masochist...!
But if not, what was this exhilaration...?
“I wonder what the girls in our class would think if they knew you’re a masochist who can’t even beat a slime.”
“—!?”
“Hehe, you’d hate for that to get out, right? If you want me to keep quiet, don’t ever make me angry again.”
Lilia-san laughed gleefully.
“For now, I’ll let you off here.”
“Yes... thank you for so many reasons...”
“We’ll do special training like this every day around this time.”
“—Huh?”
“Is there a problem?”
“Well, I was hoping to review lessons with Sierra-san after school...”
“Request denied. Building resistance to 【Monster Girls】 is your top priority.”
“No way...”
Stunned by her merciless verdict, I earned another glare from Lilia-san.
“Just so you know, I’m pretty busy. I’m making time just for you, so be grateful.”
...She’s right. Her class has about thirty students, yet I’m the only one getting this special treatment.
“...Lilia-san, why are you going out of your way to give me special training?”
“Huh? Because you’re trash, obviously.”
“No, I get that, but why bother with trash like me? You’ve stuck with me through multiple fights with 【Slime-san】, even stripped for me...”
When I asked, Lilia-san sighed.
“Isn’t it obvious? Because you have raw talent. When I saw you take down a dragon in one strike, I thought you might be the one to defeat the 【Demon Lord】 someday.”
“The 【Demon Lord】...!?”
“Defeating the 【Demon Lord】 is humanity’s greatest wish. For that, stripping is nothing.”
Lilia-san looked me dead in the eyes with a serious expression.
She didn’t seem to be flattering me at all.
“So, next time, you’ll take off your underwear too—”
“As if I would!!”
Lilia-san shouted, smacking me across the cheek.
“...Anyway, you’re the most talented student I’ve ever seen. I won’t forgive you if you die pathetically to a 【Monster Girl】.”
With that, she flicked my forehead.
Holding my cheek and forehead, I was overwhelmed with emotion. It was the first time anyone had ever believed in me.
Starting today, I’ll work hard for her.
And I had to get through this special training as soon as possible so I could spend sweet moments with Sierra-san...!
