Chapter 11 - To Resist, Of Course

After a good and long kiss in which some tongue may have been involved... who is this kidding? They french-kissed all the way!

Flirted, petting, and such, there are even times it was Scarlett who led it.

That steamy and slimy union only ended when Scarlett's wristwatch rang.

"Ah-!" their lips parted with a pop as Scarlett panicked, "S-school!"

But Joren stayed calm and replied.

"We can worry about that later." he kissed her again, making her relaxed a little. But a second later, Scarlett's eyes opened and pushed him away.

"No! Tardiness is a must avoid! If you got tardy on the first day of school, my superiors will think I'm not doing my job properly, they will replace me immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Joren's calm face turned serious and heavy.

"If you don't want those muscled guys replacing me, get ready quick!" Scarlett urged which Joren nodded.

Thinking that a muscular guy had the job to bathe him, Joren's whole body shivered in fright.

"Okay, sorry, Scarlett, but you have to fix your clothes on your own." Joren ran and took his bag and readied everything.

Scarlett frowned at what he said before looking at her own state, startling her.

'W-when did I let him undress me!?'

The buttons on her uniform were already detached, showing her mature black lingerie and pearl-like cleavage that would make any men howl. Immediately, she put them all back together with a blush on her face to her ears.

'I almost got my first time taken. I don't know if the interruption is a good thing or a bad thing...'

Her eyes swirled at that thought and right after she finished, Joren was already waiting for her.

"Have you been watching me?" she asked.

Joren smiled and took her hand.

"Yeah, you're cute and sexy, come on."

"Tsk!" Scarlett frowned, the redness on her face becoming more evident.

<School is such a cock tease, aren't they?>

'Yes, they are...' Joren agreed with the fish this time as he cried inwardly.

<But you only have 10 Thugness, very negligible. You have to follow the rules, for now, your Chainless won't get you anywhere with that number. Oh, speaking of rules, I have tons of side missions for you.>

Joren no longer had qualms with this mission. If it's going to let him do whatever he wants in the future, he will surely complete them.

'Hm... I feel like i"m back to my old self for thinking this.' he thought.

Eventually, they reached the gate which was standing in the middle of a cemented road.

"Use the card that you got from the letter you received." Scarlett pointed out which Joren took it out. Remembering where Scarlett swiped it yesterday, he did the same thing and opened the gate.

The gate opened and revealed that it was empty.

"Where's the ghost?"

"Let's just enter." Scarlett pulled him in.

When they're inside, she then explained.

"It depends on your card where you can go. There are a lot of places that are under the jurisdiction of the Myth Academy. It's like a separate world on its own. However, you can't go anywhere you want unless you have the privilege. As of now, you only have the least of it- mmh!"

Joren attacked her again when he saw the gate closed, leaving just the two of them inside the room. Unfortunately for him, or for Scarlett too, the gate only took a few seconds before it opened again.

"Ha... when did he get so bold?" Scarlett murmured as she wiped her lips.

Meanwhile, Joren looked and saw that in front of them was like an entirely different place from what he, which it is!

Wrapping his hand around her waist, Joren pulled Scarlett to him.

"Where is this?"

Scarlett looked and shook her head, "This is this the first time I've been here so I cannot tell. However, you see that over there." she pointed.

In the middle of the woods, there's an old wooden building that looked unkempt. This building was large and was three floors high. It was as large as a mall, having a million square feet.

As of now, spectral beings were continuously entering it. It was kind of far from them and Scarlett only spotted the building through the gap of trees to their left.

"How much time is left before it's the start of classes?" Joren asked.

"I always have my alarm thirty minutes before it. We just used less than five minutes earlier so we still have twenty-fi- no, twenty minutes to be sure." Scarlett looked at her watch.

"Fifteen minutes, that's a lot of time."

"A lot of time?" Scarlett asked before she was let to the woods, "W-what are you doing?"

"I'm still not satisfied."

"You..." Scarlett frowned with her face being flushed again, "Why are you acting like I'm your woman?"

"Are you not?" Joren tilted his head, acting dumb.

"We just met yesterday..."

They entered and got out fifteen minutes later. Scarlett prepared herself but soon found out that fifteen minutes were not enough. This made her too embarrassed that she ran away and escaped by entering the gate.

"See you later!" Joren waved but Scarlett just turned her head away before the gate closed.

Inside the room, Scarlett dropped on the floor on her knees. She clenched her fists and muttered.

"Why am I letting him do whatever he wants...!"

She gritted her teeth.

"And why am I not regretting it? Later, when he comes back home, we will have enough time. If I let him do whatever he wants, he might really bed me. I have to prepare." she nodded.

"To resist, of course, to resist... But first I'm going to take a shower first and did I wear perfume today?..." she kept murmuring to herself before going to her house.

Her job was just to make sure Joren is fine when out of school. So once he's inside school, she has a lot of free time which, she is not going to deny, is lovely.

<Wow, that was just 10 Thugness, when did you get that boldness?>

Even the fish asked with a curious tone.

"It's because I like her. As you said, she really likes it, why would I stop myself?" Joren said as he walks towards the old building.

<Good say, good say. You're getting real balls now. Getting your next bitch will be much easier now. You got me worried for a while.>

Joren stopped and looked at the floating fish by his side.

"Next bitch? Why are you saying it as if I'm going to leave her?"

<You're not going to leave her, you'll grab yourself a harem.>

Joren's eyes widened and he shook his head. Afterward, he sighed and continued walking.

"That's not going to happen. Why would I want more? Just Scarlett is already too much for me. Although I can't believe that we've progressed so much on the second day but I still feel like this is a dream. I've never even talked to women that much the other day, but now, I'm flirting with Scarlett, an absolute beauty! Why would I want more?" Joren repeated.

<Heh, I guess that's just where 10 Thugness got you. I'm not saying you will get bored of her but there will be lots of women in the future. Furthermore, that Scarlett might be capable but in the future, you will be too much for her. She wouldn't be able to handle you, she needs allies.>

Joren just ignored the talk of the fish as it sounds ridiculous to him.

<Monogamy, that's modern thinking. Here, where the supernatural is a thing, strength defines your position. You can live like a king and your words are the rules.>

"It's an academy, even if it's full of mythical creatures, there are still rules to be followed. Also, there are a lot of eyes there, you can't keep appearing like that." Joren smiled widely.

<Oh, you think I will not be able to talk inside your head again since I'm going to hide. You're wrong, Joren. I can morph into anything I want. For example, a ring!>

The fish then swooped towards Joren's finger.

"What? You can do that!?"

A light flashed as the fish's transformation was happening.

"Why didn't you do that earlier!?" Joren covered his eyes with his other hand.

<It's because I forgot!>

"Damn you!"

After that flash of brightness, Joren finally opened his eyes and looked at the new ring on his left hand. His eyes widened in bafflement. He couldn't believe it.

"It's not because you forgot, it's because you can't. You damn fish, you just wrapped yourself around my finger!" Joren tried to remove the dried fish from his finger but it turned its head and bit him.

"Ouch!"

<You can think of it as fashion!>

"You didn't even remove your sunglasses, my hand feels awkward. Get off me."

<Tsk, then we'll try the necklace.>

The fish unwrapped itself easily and went towards Joren's neck. A bright flash of light shone again.

"Urgh!" Joren covered his eyes and when the light faded, he looked and saw that the fish was just hanging from his neck upside down as if there's an invisible string attached to its tail.

"What's the purpose of the bright light!?"

<The sunglasses is getting on the way...> the fish moved as if it was not comfortable.

"Damn it! I have to get to the classroom now!" seeing that the spectral beings were getting fewer, means that the time for class is about to arrive. Joren just made a run for it towards Class 10.. A rundown classroom.
