Chapter 129. Friendly Duel
"Haa... Master. Aaaaah...! Hah...."
Thrust. Thrust.
I held Liliana close and thrust my hips like crazy.
Her body was pinned to the bed by mana, and she gasped for breath with moans.
"Nngh... haah... ahn... ngh..."
Enjoying the feel of her pussy wrapped around me, I came again without holding back.
As expected, it felt much better when I was the one in control, leading the pace.
"Hah, Master... please... I'm sorry..."
The image of her in heat attacking me had faded about an hour ago.
"Sorry for what? You're enjoying this too."
Her pussy tightened around my cock, clinging to it vividly.
Despite what she said, the way she wrapped her legs around my hips showed she was still okay with more.
"Hngh... r-really can't anymore... mmph! Mmm... smooch."
I silenced her strange complaints with a kiss and continued thrusting.
The sky outside the window was still dark.
"The night's still young, Liliana."
Smiling, I hugged the immobilized Liliana tightly.
"Haah... mmph... hnnng!"
She responded not with words but by squeezing my cock tight with her pussy.
*
I lost count of how many times we came. Neither of us even had the energy to moan anymore.
"Hah. A-ah... mmph..."
Liliana trembled beneath me, twitching with short sighs.
'How many hours has it been...?'
The heat spell had long since worn off.
I don't remember the exact number, but we must have gone at it so long the spell naturally faded.
"Ah, ah... hnnng..."
After one last release inside her, I checked the time.
8 a.m.
Roughly eight hours of nonstop sex. No wonder the heat spell ended.
'Sigh... Once I sleep, today's over.'
I wasted the first day of the festival. Kind of disappointing.
"Liliana. Liliana. Wake up."
I tapped her cheek as she lay beneath me, eyes rolled back and tongue out from our last climax.
"Hueh... eh..."
"Mm..."
Looks like the training didn't fully stick. Even after all night, she's still not coherent.
I gathered mana in my fingertip.
Placing my hand on her belly, I stimulated her womb just like I did with Elise.
"Haah! AAAAAAAAH!"
Squelch!
Liliana's lower body trembled violently, gushing with fluids as she lay splayed out.
"Uh... Liliana?"
This might be a bit dangerous.
Tap. Tap.
Thankfully, she still responded. Doesn't seem injured.
Maybe I went too far. But come on, she's a succubus. No way she'd die from sex.
"Hueheee..."
"She's alive! Good."
Sadly, she wasn't in any state for conversation.
What a weak succubus.

Current State: Hee... wanna play... with Master... festival... sex... yay....
"...."
Whatever. She'll be fine.
Not like I told her to pounce on me first. If she had just clung to me sweetly, I would've calculated a week's worth of time for her.
"Yikes... this room's a mess."
Leaving the passed-out Liliana on the bed, I looked around.
What the hell had she been doing for a week? Did she revert to her feral phase because I was gone?
Then again, this looks a lot like my first solo apartment days.
"Clean."
As I used magic to clean the trash scattered around, I noticed her computer screen.
A notepad file was open on the monitor.
"What's this?"
----------
Festival Schedule.
Day 1.
Eat chicken skewers and takoyaki together.
Day 2.
Watch the talent show together.
Day 3.
Try drinking together.

"Hmm..."
A list of things Liliana wanted to do during the festival.
Just imagining her writing this while I was gone made my heart ache.
"I can't play with her every day..."
Even if there were no fixed plans, I had to meet up with other heroines over the week.
Still, I'll make sure to give her tonight.
Once I sleep and wake up, it'll be night. I'll play with her then.
Ding—
At that moment, my smartwatch buzzed.
It was a message from Surin-noona.
Messaging me on a Monday morning... what could it be?
-Surin Noona: You must be exhausted. Don't worry, I'll handle everything. Just get some rest.
"...?"
I checked the messages I hadn't seen yesterday.
-Surin Noona: Hoyeon, sorry to message right after you got back, but I need to talk to you about the festival opening tomorrow. Reply when you see this.
Ah... now I remember.
The festival always starts with an event hosted by the student council to hype everyone up. This time, it's a 1v1 duel with the vice president.
The current time is 8:48 a.m.
And the festival opening? That's at 9 a.m.
"Ah... fuck."
Think, Hoyeon. You messed up again because you let lust take over.
I quickly got up and checked the mirror.
My face was worn from a week of tension and fatigue, with heavy dark circles. My eyes were bloodshot from using arousal magic to force my body awake.
"I look like a corpse."
I have no confidence.
"No confidence... to lose."
I had to prep for the duel.
No time to shower. I used Clean magic to get myself decent.
My messy hair, dark circles, and red eyes remained, but I threw on my academy uniform.
"Master...?"
While I was cleaning and dressing, Liliana seemed to come to, staring at me with hazy eyes.
"Go back to sleep. Let's go get skewers together tonight."
"Okay..."
Liliana collapsed back into bed.
Her soft breathing meant she was asleep.
I wanted to lie beside her and sleep too, but I didn't have time.
"Gotta run like hell."
I quickly replied to the message.
-Me: Noona, I'm heading over now.
Thankfully, I knew where the festival started.
The Academy's Grand Auditorium.
I sprinted there.
*
"President... still no word from him?"
"...Have the MC stall for time."
"Yes, understood."
Victoria Academy's Festival.
The opening ceremony for Celestial Day.
The student council usually hosts events to liven things up.
This year's event was a friendly duel between the rising rookie Lee Hoyeon and the student council vice president.
It might seem like a predictable fight—a first-year versus a third-year—but with Lee Hoyeon's recent buzz and the vice president Shin Dongmin being heir to the Shinyoung Guild, students were hyped.
But with ten minutes left, Lee Hoyeon still hadn't shown up.
"Tch. Now that the time's come, he tucks tail and runs."
Shin Dongmin sat cross-legged in a chair.
Because Hoyeon didn't show, they couldn't even rehearse. The event was basically canceled.
"I mean, a survival test for a whole week and then a duel the next day? That was always a stretch..."
The female secretary who had prepared the event hung her head low.
"Why say that now? I never expected the special test would be survival either."
The VP smiled, but Moon Surin scoffed inwardly.
'Liar.'
She realized the opening ceremony came right after the special exam ended—but by then, the arrangements were already locked in.
The VP had pulled strings.
Riding on the growing power of the Shinyoung Guild, Shin Dongmin was expanding his influence within the academy.
He still wasn't a match for Moon Surin, but once a process was finalized, not even the student council president or the chairman's granddaughter could undo it.
She'd considered asking Chairman Moon Jaechul directly, but knowing his stubbornness, it would've been pointless.
"We need to fix this now... President."
"...Sorry. I was too stubborn."
Surin knew.
The moment Hoyeon hadn't replied, they should've canceled and prepped something else.
Her pride had gotten in the way.
She had expected post-exam fatigue and still put too much trust in Hoyeon. That was her mistake.
'Did I rely too much on him?'
Maybe all this work was messing with her head.
Ding—
At that moment, Surin's smartwatch buzzed.
She checked the message—and a smile bloomed.
*
"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I'm late."
Using acceleration, I covered a distance that should've taken 30 minutes in just 5.
Naturally, I looked like hell.
"...Junior. We can still cancel."
"Don't worry. I can do this."
Surin looked flustered, worried about me.
"Are you really okay?! You don't look fit to duel!"
"I'm okay. I can do it."
I had a slight headache, but I could manage.
"Uh, um. We have to start now... You sure you're up for it?"
"Yes, yes. I'm good."
The student council execs fussed over me as I walked onto the stage.
On the opposite side, VP Shin Dongmin was also stepping up.
[Welcome to Victoria Academy's Festival! A week of blazing festivities begins with the Celestial Day opening event! The long-awaited friendly duel between students Lee Hoyeon and Shin Dongmin!]
Since it was a friendly duel and not an official test, the host could talk to us directly on the field.
The auditorium was packed with students.
Most of the 2nd and 3rd years were present, and aside from a few who lasted until the end of the survival test, most 1st years were here too.
The host was hyping the crowd while introducing us.
He'd probably start asking questions once he was done.
"I acknowledge you."
"?"
As I waited for the host, Shin Dongmin suddenly spoke while looking at me.
"Lee Hoyeon. You're strong for a first-year. Equal to me, maybe even more."
"...?"
"But I'll show you the difference that experience and skill make."
He smirked and looked at me.
What the hell is this guy even saying.
