That was when I noticed Dela had begun utilising ice magic against me, an advanced derivative of water magic. It turned out she had been studying high-tier elemental magic during my absence. After over three continuous hours of Dela launching relentless attacks without landing a single hit, I called an end to the session.
"Advanced ice magic, brilliant work, Dela," I said, giving her a gentle headpat. "I am genuinely surprised by how quickly you mastered high-tier water magic."
Hearing my praise, Dela blushed bashfully, her cheeks turning bright red. Sesil teased her playfully, showing no hints of jealousy toward Dela whatsoever. As our extra Sunday training concluded, I instructed Dela to wait for me back inside my office.
"I am heading home now, Yogiri..." Sesil spoke softly. "Let us go on another date next Saturday..."
"Let me check my schedule first to see if I am busy training Dela," I replied, gently stroking her hair. "Her debut match is approaching fast, though Saturday evening should be fine, provided we do not start too early in the morning..."
"So that means it is a yes?" Sesil gazed up at me expectantly.
"Yes, just send me a message to confirm once you decide. My Saturday evenings are usually quiet anyway," I responded, patting Sesil's head once more.
Right then, I recalled recent reports from Thelma, Shia, and Chia regarding strange occurrences inside my office. Initially, I suspected our office cat was the culprit. However, the details were bizarre, my spare jackets were repeatedly found scattered across the floor, ranging from damp to completely soaked. The floor beneath my desk was frequently wet, while my favourite pens and pencils went missing or turned up dripping with moisture.
Checking my phone, I noticed a direct message from King Drach himself, reading, "To Yogiri, my most valuable asset. If you wish to grow closer to your students and treat them as you did Sesil, you have my full permission. All of their parents have given their consent, including myself."
The message concluded with, "I will brief you further on this matter in due time."
Sesil and I walked back toward my office while chatting comfortably. As we approached the door, we accidentally caught sight of Dela picking up my jacket and deeply inhaling my scent. Sesil and I exchanged glances of absolute disbelief at the scene unfolding before us.
What kind of person engages in indecent behaviour without locking the door first? Through the cracked doorway, we observed Dela masturbating in my chair while pressing my jacket against her face.
"Instructor..." Dela murmured softly, calling out my name. "You always seem so close with Sesil... I want to be close to you too... Instructor, Dela has been a bad girl, please punish me... Scold your naughty student..."
Was Dela lost inside her own wild fantasy?
Sesil and I locked eyes before deciding to step inside together. Dela's eyes widened in sheer shock and embarrassment. She frantically pulled my jacket over her lap, though her tracksuit bottoms were already crumpled on the office floor alongside her plain blue polka-dot underwear.
"Oh boy..." I muttered, scratching the back of my head awkwardly.
"Hwaaaa!" Dela cried out loudly, covering her face in complete humiliation.
I quickly locked the office door behind us while Sesil drew the window blinds closed. The atmosphere in the room turned intensely awkward. Sesil walked over to sit beside the crying girl, wrapping an arm around Dela's shoulders while casting a sharp look in my direction.
"Since things have come to this, step up, Yogiri... Dela, do you love Yogiri as well?" Sesil asked her in an extraordinarily gentle tone.
Sesil stroked the back of Dela's head, comforting her smoothly. "Do you want to know the secret behind my victory in the maiden tournament? It was all because I fell in love with Instructor Yogiri, and he loves me back..."
Changing my seating position, I sat right behind Dela, pulling her into a protective embrace. Dela looked back at me shyly, murmuring, "Um... this morning, I saw the two of you kissing while feeding the strays... It made me curious..."
Dela still hesitated to meet my gaze directly. Releasing her hold, Sesil reached out to gently stroke Dela's cheek. "Hey, Dela, let us love Yogiri together..."
"Huh?" Dela looked between Sesil and me in complete confusion.
Chaos, complexity, and awkwardness blended into one intense moment. Sesil suddenly climbed onto my lap, reaching for the security camera remote to briefly disable the office feed. Dela watched intently as Sesil and I began exchanging passionate kisses like a married couple, her own hands moving instinctively to soothe her body.
"So, Dela, do you want to try it out?" Sesil asked after breaking our kiss. "We can share Yogiri, though you must remember that I am the main partner."
It seemed I had no choice but to carry out the mandate assigned by King Drach. Was he truly executing that secret government initiative? Urgh... why was I passively allowing myself to be treated like a stud horse...
"Personally, I have no objections, provided Sesil gives her approval," I said, meeting Dela's gaze.
"Do you have a boyfriend or a fiancé back home? If so, it is best to abandon those ties and devote your love entirely to Instructor Yogiri," Sesil chimed in, attempting to influence Dela's thoughts.
Dela crept closer to me as Sesil and I engaged in intimate lovemaking face-to-face. Dela utilised my hand to help bring herself to release. After experiencing her first intense climax, Dela pulled back slightly, watching Sesil and me continue our passionate exchange.
Upon reaching her peak, Dela sensed an unusual shift within her body. "What is this... why do I feel significantly stronger all of a sudden?"
"That is... Yogiri's special... ability..." Sesil managed to explain while I moved against her lower body. "Urgh... it feels so incredible..."
Dela remained stunned, her eyes fixed on us as I drove Sesil to complete satisfaction. Gently pulling Sesil's smooth pink hair, I released outside her body. Dela gazed directly at my erect length in astonishment. Sesil collapsed weakly across the desk, and I handed her some tissues to wipe herself down.
"Let me... think about this first..." Dela said, excusing herself to retreat toward the locker room. "I will give you my answer on Monday if I decide to accept..."
Throughout the following week, the atmosphere between Sesil, Dela, and me remained extremely awkward as a result of that encounter. However, when interacting in front of the rest of our teammates, we maintained smooth, professional communication without any disruptions. Today was Friday, marking our final training day of the week.
I had just finished reviewing training analytics with Princess Thelma, pointing out specific areas for her to refine since, after Dela, it was her time to debut. The moment Dela and Sesil walked back inside after their internal scrimmage, I asked them both to take a seat on the bench.
"Thank you, Instructor. See you on Monday!" Princess Thelma said, stretching her arms. "Sesil, Dela, see you both on Monday as well!"
I smiled at Princess Thelma's energetic behaviour, walking her to the exit door. "Do not forget your extra training session with me this weekend!"
"Got it!" Princess Thelma called back. "I promise not to stay up late playing video games!"
Eventually, Princess Thelma, Shia, and Chia departed, leaving me alone with Sesil and Dela as they enjoyed their packed lunches. The two girls chatted comfortably with each other while I analysed recorded footage of Dela's scrimmage against an external opponent preparing for the debut tournament.
Her power growth was undeniably genuine, but could my physical touch and my emotion truly be the sole cause? I found myself wondering about the details of that Zechs initiative, or whatever its complex name was. I possessed no memory of ever participating in such a project myself.
"In-instructor... I want to..." Dela began, initiating a conversation with me. "Before my match begins, please go on a date with me next Sunday..."
"However, I want Sesil to accompany us..." she added softly. "Since I don't have any experience with a man..."
"Hmm, next Sunday is completely free of extra training sessions, so that works. Are you entirely certain, Dela?" I inquired.
"I-I am certain... I love the instructor as well... Besides, seeing how effective my scrimmage results became after the instructor touched me..." Dela confessed bashfully.
Opening my laptop screen, I reviewed records showing Dela and Sesil battling on equal terms ever since that incident. I wondered what other hidden capabilities resided within me. I was well aware that my magic fell under the abnormal category, a rare classification holding vast uncharted potential that the wider world had yet to comprehend.
Still, was I truly required to engage in such intimate acts just to empower my students? No, such methods needed to be balanced alongside rigorous physical conditioning. Sesil achieved her current strength through a balanced combination of physical training, meditation, and physical contact with me.
That was when I suddenly realised Sesil had disappeared from my line of sight.
Feeling a sudden movement beneath my desk, I realised Sesil had crawled underneath, seemingly unable to suppress her intense desires any longer.
"Be patient, my love, I am still discussing tactical data with Dela..." I murmured, allowing Sesil to slide my trousers down anyway.
Without me realising it, Dela moved her chair directly to my right side, reviewing her recorded scrimmage footage alongside me. One of her core attributes had experienced a dramatic spike, specifically her strength stat.
[Dellila Marcus, Water Elemental]
STR: B-
INT: C+
AGL: C+
WIS: C+
Throughout their recorded matches, Sesil actively offered combat advice to Dela. Having Sesil on our team proved immensely beneficial, as Dela was learning when to improvise and how to show no mercy when finishing off opponents.
"I want to ask, what thoughts run through your mind when preparing to finish off an opponent?" I inquired of Dela.
"I end up seeing myself in them..." Dela admitted honestly. "Whenever I am about to defeat an opponent, I worry whether they are struggling just like me. If I defeat them, I fear they might face academic dismissal, and I will be left feeling guilty..."
She possessed an exceptionally gentle heart, making her parents' concerns easily understandable. Placing my hand on Dela's shoulder, I suppressed my gasps as Sesil behaved mischievously beneath the desk.
"Dela, there is no room for mercy on the battlefield. Coming from a military background, let me share an essential truth with you. If you show mercy in combat, you will be killed and exploited by your enemies," I advised her as best as I could.
"You cannot afford to think that way, you must be selfish in your pursuit of victory. If you win, be grateful, if you lose, do not let it shatter your resolve, as we will simply evaluate the performance and prepare for the next win. Besides, this academy environment is completely different from a real battlefield, where second chances do not exist. Once you die out there, that is the end..." I added, gazing at Dela with absolute seriousness.
"I want you to approach every single match as if your very life depends on the outcome," I said, gently cupping Dela's cheek. "Imagine that if you lose the match, we will never be able to see each other again."
Dela leaned into the gentle touch of my hand against her cheek. Closing her eyes, she whispered, "I do not want to be separated from any of you."
"I feel as though I have found a second family here." Dela reopened her eyes, looking directly at me. "That includes you, Instructor... along with Sesil, Chia, Shia, and even our cat..."
"I do not want to be sent home or separated from this team... I want to prove to my parents that I am capable of succeeding..." Dela added with firm conviction.
Observing her mindset shift, I wondered if my advice had proven effective. My hand moved down to stroke Sesil's head as she continued her intimate actions beneath the desk. I figured we would witness the true results during tomorrow's scrimmage.
Having satisfied her desires, Sesil swallowed completely before casting a playful look up at me. She whistled happily, excited for our upcoming Saturday evening date. As I resumed analysing her scrimmage footage alongside Dela, Dela's hand unexpectedly reached down to stroke my lower body.
Though her movements were still bashful, Sesil gave me a subtle nod of approval to let her continue.
"Do not corrupt Dela into being mischievous as well, focus on analysing your scrimmage data first, Dela," I requested softly, pressing a gentle kiss against Dela's cheek.
Dela's face flushed bright red as I wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her close. With Sesil positioned on my left side, also touching me affectionately, the three of us reviewed the scrimmage footage together, breaking down tactical points. Occasionally, I presented hypothetical scenarios to test their critical thinking under pressure.
"During a match, split-second decisions are crucial, testing your critical thinking under stress. Take this scenario, for example. Sesil, if Dela defends herself behind an ice wall, how would you react if Dela suddenly melted the wall to launch a point-blank ice spike attack?" I quizzed Sesil.
"Given my high agility, I would naturally evade the trajectory. Alternatively, I could block the incoming ice spikes using wind magic to melt them instantly," Sesil answered smoothly, maintaining incredible focus despite her hands continuing to play with my lower body.
Before long, Dela began showing signs of sleepiness, prompting me to wrap up the session. "Alright, time to head home and get some rest..."
