Chapter 3.4

However, the lesson stopped several times afterward.

Because the teacher kept getting erections. It felt like witnessing the mystery of the human body.

Perhaps because she repeatedly viewed the organ as an art piece before and after er*ction, initially, the changing appearance of the organ was startling, but as she trained her eyes and repeatedly described it, she gradually became accustomed to it.

And since the teacher was so statue-like, the organ also seemed like a well-crafted sculpture. The post-er*ction organ seemed to add density to the sculpture.

That didn’t mean she viewed the organ entirely innocently. She had simply grown familiar with it, but whenever she described it and remembered its use, she felt embarrassed.

Still, as long as she didn’t focus too much, she had no problem looking at the teacher’s organ, which was quite a significant improvement, wasn’t it?

She suddenly realized that the reason for observation and description was all for this.

“It’s up again!”

“Then please do the same.”

Whenever the teacher’s organ swelled, he asked her to turn around. Honestly, it seemed to er*ect just with a glance, but she wondered why he needed to calm it down.

When she asked out of curiosity, he said if left alone, it would gradually become painful.

Since an er*ction occurs as blood rushes to the organ, if not relieved through a ‘specific method,’ it can be quite distressing.

She couldn’t understand that sensation.

Anyway, the teacher seemed very skilled at teaching.

Whether intentional or not, through his repeated lessons, she had visually learned the pre and post-er*ction states of the organ.

Maybe today’s lesson could have progressed further. She felt so confident that she even felt a bit regretful when the teacher got dressed after the lesson ended.

Before the lesson, she had been so worried.

She thought hiring him was a good decision.

How many students had the teacher taught so far?

‘Did all those students see the teacher’s body too?’

As she looked at the teacher’s broad back, her chest suddenly tingled.

Did I drink the wrong tea? 

While rubbing her chest, the teacher finished dressing and donned his cloak. The teacher’s white cloak seemed exceptionally bright today.

“Thank you again for today.”

Felix arrived at the guild hall and wiped his heated face. Leaning against the wall, he recalled his private time with Erica.

He couldn’t bear how the innocent lady looked at his organ with such clear eyes, not knowing anything.

He thought he had good self-control, but it was an arrogant thought.

Just looking at Erica’s slender back caused the muscles of his organ to harden and grow. His scrotum was filled with s*men, clamoring to be released and seeking further stimulation. The lust within him shook him.

Should I ask her to watch me m*sturbate, saying it’s not strange? Should I ask her to listen to my moans?

He wanted to make perverted requests.

But it was still too soon for Erica. Wasn’t she struggling to see a single n*ked body not long ago?

If Erica, who didn’t even know about erections, saw him m*sturbating, she would surely be shocked and run away.

After coming this far to meet Erica, he couldn’t let his perverted desires ruin it.

So he hid his sinister intentions in his eyes and stared at her back as if tearing it apart, teasing his organ.

He gripped the aching pillar tightly and roughly stroked it up and down repeatedly. Inside, he kept muttering Erica, Erica. He didn’t know how beautiful those three syllables were.

In truth, there was nothing unattractive about Erica.

Every part of Erica was beautiful. Her slightly curly light brown hair felt cozy, and her light green eyes reminded him of an elf running through the forest. Her nose was so cute he wanted to nibble it if he had permission, and her lips were small and plump, inciting the urge to suck them.

Felix bit his lip tightly, holding back the moans threatening to escape. Even when his lips scraped against his teeth and bled a little, he endured.

His hand moved quickly from the gl*ns to the base. The fluid bursting from the urethral opening was magically erased before it hit the floor. That’s not what magic was meant for, but Felix used his powers freely for secret m*sturbation.

In truth, he had a desire to leave a mark on the floor.

Wouldn’t it be okay to let just one drop fall? Even if there was moisture, this lady wouldn’t question it.

However, Felix, almost obsessively, ensured that not a single drop was spilled and made everything disappear. He used a cleanliness spell to clean his soaked hands thoroughly.

Erica thought he had calmed his organ using a special method. How adorable the thought was.

When she looked at his organ with innocent eyes and said it was fascinating, he felt an impulse to hug her tightly.

He hoped time would pass quickly. He wanted to advance to the next lesson, and then the next, so he could kiss those clear eyes and leave his mark all over her body.

The current task was to ease her wariness. After showing his body, he wanted to gradually touch her and make Erica comfortable with offering her body as well.

Of course, he planned to train her thoroughly so she couldn’t do that with any other man. He wanted his body to be what came to mind when she thought of a man’s body. He hoped she wouldn’t even want to look at other men’s bodies.

Fortunately, Erica had high standards. Having seen his well-maintained body, other men wouldn’t even catch her eye. Felix knew how to view himself objectively.

Felix recalled m*sturbating in front of Erica and pressed down on his swelling organ again. Just thinking about Erica’s gaze and face made him heat up. He wished Erica would feel the same.

Felix held onto his racing thoughts.

“Leader, a guest is here now.”

Henry called him with a flustered face. Felix clicked his tongue inwardly. He had wanted to go to the bathroom to relieve himself once more, but he couldn’t. The only people who came to the guild hall this late at night were mages, and Henry didn’t call them guests. He referred to them as guild members.

And judging by Henry’s troubled face, Felix could guess who the guest was.

Felix headed straight to the leader’s office. He saw a man sitting on the sofa, flipping through documents.

“Your Majesty.”

“You’re late.”

The Emperor turned to him, raising a teacup. His lips were full of mischief. Felix saluted and sat across from him.

“What brings you here?”

“I heard something interesting and came to verify it. And it seems to be true, seeing as you arrived at this hour.”

It was currently pointing to 11 PM. Felix usually left the imperial palace after work and went to the guild hall to handle business. So whenever the Emperor visited the guild, Felix was always working when he greeted him.

“Did you investigate me?”

Felix’s eyes turned cold instantly. The Emperor laughed and shook his head.

“I asked Henry why you’ve been in such a good mood lately.”

“I suppose I’ve been too lenient with that guy lately.”

Though he spoke like that, Felix had never treated his people carelessly. He didn’t follow the traditions of the Mage Tower. He knew how much violence could ruin people.

That’s probably why the mages followed him even more.

The Emperor lightly threw a comment while looking at Felix’s expressionless face.

“So, how is it meeting your first love?”

“……”

Felix didn’t respond, but in that brief moment, the Emperor got his answer from Felix’s slightly softened face. So the Emperor nodded as if he had heard the answer.

“You didn’t come all the way here just to ask that, did you?”

It was a request to stop the trivial talk and get to the main point.

Felix showed this attitude towards the Emperor, and he was the only one in the Empire who did. The Emperor had never taken issue with it.

They were known simply as a lord and vassal, but in truth, they were bound by a contract.

They joined hands for their mutual goals, and Felix had long kept his promise to the Emperor.

‘I will make you into the Emperor, Your Highness the Crown Prince.’

The image of the boy, clutching his hand as if threatening him while dying, was vivid in his mind.

The Emperor drank his tea while facing Felix.

It had already been seven years since he met this mage. The young mage, once full of poison and wounds, had grown into a twenty-one-year-old young man.

The present Felix no longer showed traces of those times. Unlike then, when he burned with hatred, Felix now hid his true feelings behind a cold face and smile. Sometimes, it was bitter.

‘Please help me destroy the Mage Tower.’

The Emperor had a remaining contract with this mage.

He had come to Felix secretly at night for that purpose.

The Emperor erased the mischief from his expression and adopted a serious face. Felix used magic to block surrounding sounds.

“As you said, the Mage Tower has started to move. A large tower has appeared in the forest.”

The imperial army, secretly monitoring the forest by the Emperor’s command, couldn’t hide their astonishment. It had been a dense area of trees, but suddenly, the trees vanished, a wide field emerged, and a tower appeared, reaching for the sky.

The appearance of the Mage Tower meant the barrier had weakened.

And that was because the elders were casting strong dark magic that severely affected their power.

Felix had been waiting for this moment, planning for eight years.

“By summer, the elders’ ‘Power Orbs’ effects will be completely gone. Then……”

We would finally be able to kill the elders.

Felix swallowed the rest of his words.

“The Mage Tower must not find the ‘sacrifice’ before then. Please continue to station the imperial army in the Tower Forest and keep constant watch on the elders.”

Whenever Felix tracked the elders of the Mage Tower, he always moved the imperial army through the Emperor instead of his guild. That was because the elders tended to underestimate non-mages. They were confident that the imperial army couldn’t touch a hair on them.

So they didn’t even know that the imperial army was stationed around the Mage Tower, constantly watching them. Foolish.

‘May that arrogance lead to a miserable death.’

Felix fervently hoped.

“What on earth is that dark magic… that it requires a sacrifice…”

“You’re better off not knowing.”

The Emperor shook his head at Felix’s firm words. People knew very little about the Mage Tower. Before the magic revolution, some even thought the Mage Tower only appeared in legends.

The Mage Tower moved so secretly, and its location was hidden so that non-mages could never find it.

The reason the Mage Tower hid itself so thoroughly was not for the advancement of magic.

It was solely because of the elders’ greed.

The Emperor also learned this fact only after meeting Felix.

Felix revealed the truth about the Mage Tower to the Emperor but didn’t tell him everything. The Emperor only knew that the Mage Tower was corrupt, had broken taboos to commit horrific deeds, and intended to offer a sacrifice to perform dark magic this time.

Felix would probably never teach the Emperor what that dark magic was for and how it was activated. It wasn’t just because he feared the Emperor might recklessly try it. It was truly better not to know.

‘How far can a fallen mage commit sins?’

Because Felix didn’t tell everything, the Emperor could only guess. The Emperor took a deep breath. In any case, the Mage Tower would never imagine that the imperial family was targeting it.

“At least tell me the criteria for the sacrifice. So I can protect it.”

“A special soul.”

The Emperor’s brows furrowed. It was too abstract a criterion, not related to age or gender.

“Don’t worry. I’ll protect that soul well. Your Majesty, you just need to observe the Mage Tower’s movements as you have been and inform me.”

Felix knew who possessed that soul.

To hide that person’s existence, he had given them a bracelet he cherished, and as a gift, he had also provided magical items that concealed the soul’s characteristics, claiming they were gloves.

Felix gazed out into the dark window. In his childhood, even looking outside was difficult. There was no freedom in a life controlled. Back then, he thought it was normal.

The fox and the girl.

Suddenly, the fairy tale he had seen in Erica’s workshop came to mind. Felix saw his reflection in the fairy tale’s fox.

Just as the fox learned human games from the girl, the soul had turned him from a beast into a human.

‘That place isn’t right. I’ll get you out of there, no matter what.’

If it hadn’t been for the person who found the Mage Tower through a weakened barrier eight years ago, he would have rotted inside forever.

Felix vividly remembered the days he spent with that person ‘alone.’

“The academy should be finished this fall. Sorry it’s taking so long.”

“I’ll consider it.”

Felix tore his gaze away from the window, emerged from his thoughts, and nodded.
