*United States, XXX University*
There were about fifty students in the room. Everyone was listening to Professor Mei Tachibana's lecture. Of Japanese origin, she was very popular at the university, not only because her psychology classes were known for being clear and interesting, but also because of her appearance that drew every gaze.
Mei wore a fitted white blouse that emphasized her generous chest. Her black skirt hugged her slim waist and defined hips. Her sheer stockings highlighted her shapely legs. She had neatly styled chestnut hair and serious black eyes. Despite her seductive look, she maintained a cold expression that cut off any attempt at familiarity.
While everyone watched her attentively, Kylian, twenty years old, was playing on his phone. He was one meter ninety tall, had messy black hair and quite rare amber eyes.
"Fuck, Kylian. Stop playing that shitty game."
Jonathan gave him a small kick under the table.
"Stop, dude, you're gonna make me lose my character."
Jonathan sighed while running a hand through his brown hair. He was slim, a bit shy, and wore glasses. Unlike Kylian, he hadn't gotten into this university thanks to basketball but thanks to his intelligence and serious work.
The two friends were orphans. After everything they had been through, they had obtained a scholarship to study law. Now in their second year, Jonathan was still afraid that this game Kylian had been playing since high school would ruin his studies.
"What character? It's a gacha game. You can just buy everything back if you lose. You should play something useful. Or enjoy the hot professor right in front of us."
"What are you talking about? It's a constructive game. In a post-apocalyptic world, you play as a god who lost his divinity, and after his failure, he returns to the beginning of the apocalypse to change his fate..."
Jonathan pushed his glasses up slightly and rolled his eyes.
"You're talking nonsense. This game is called Doomsday: All Dead. It's just an erotic gacha, dude."
"If you say so. But I'm at the Ragnarok act. The protagonist fails at this point. I have to win."
Before Jonathan could reply, a firm voice rang out.
"Jonathan. Kylian. If my class doesn't interest you, you can leave."
"Uh... No, Dr. Tachibana. We really like your class." Jonathan answered so fast he almost choked. Kylian reluctantly turned off his phone.
"Sorry, Professor. You can continue."
Mei, who had obtained her PhD in psychology shortly before being hired, was clearly annoyed.
"Jonathan, I know it's not you. Kylian, your grades have dropped since the last midterm. Come see me in my office."
Jonathan sighed.
"This professor is known for failing students. I told you, you're screwed."
Kylian smiled.
"Don't worry, dude."
Then, to Mei:
"Yes, Professor."
'I can't take this Ragnarok act anymore. It's way too hard. I hope this is the end of the game after this one.' He thought.
The hours passed quickly. At two o'clock, Mei gathered her documents and left the room.

POV: Kylian
I just wanted to keep playing, but apparently Doctor Mei wanted to see me.
"You going to the cafeteria?"
"Yeah, I'm texting Jessica." Jonathan had a goofy smile.
"Ah... Jessica."
I sighed. Ever since he found a girlfriend, he had become unbearable. He talked about her every chance he got. But they really loved each other, so I was happy for him.
"What!? You don't have a summons or something?" He shot back when he saw me shake my head.
"Nah, nothing. I've learned not to comment on your relationship with Jessica. You're way too crazy about her."
"Yeah, that's right, shut your mouth."
"Hahaha, but I didn't even say anything!?"
"At least I don't collect exes like you, bastard!"
"I remind you that you met her thanks to my girlfriend at the time. Don't talk about my exes, you."
The guy got excited the second we talked about Jessica. I raised my hands to surrender the discussion.
"Say hi to her for me. I'm heading to Mei's office."
"See you later, for your game."
I nodded and left the room.
I walked calmly through the hallways. Eyes turned toward me, as usual. In the law faculty, everyone knew the most handsome basketball player.
I winked at a group of girls, but they ignored me.
They must be new. Usually they blush.
I rubbed my clean-shaven chin.
'Am I becoming narcissistic? Nah... Whatever.'
After a few minutes, I arrived in front of her office.
*Knock knock.*
"Come in." Her voice was cold.
I opened the door. A force immediately pinned me against the wall.
"So you don't listen to me in class anymore. Maybe I should punish you~."
I could smell her sweet perfume and feel her warm breath against the back of my neck.
This cold milf was actually my girlfriend.
She had never told anyone on campus, but I knew why. Mei had spent her entire youth studying, working non-stop, until she earned her doctorate. She had never had time for a relationship. At thirty-two, she had simply realized she had never experienced a real one.
That's when she noticed me. A month ago, Mei attended a university basketball game to relax, and our eyes met while I was on the court. After that, everything happened naturally. I took her number to ask for advice about her class, a few conversations, a few dates...
And today, behind her cold expression and serious demeanor, she had become my girl.
