Chapter 12 Bet!
A few hours have passed since I met with Tess. Sitting on the window seat in the living room, I heard someone opening the door and walking in. It was Olivia.
"Hey Olivia, did you learn how to gather mana and fully integrate it?" Of course, since our class had learned how to gather mana, then her class should have also learned it.
"Yes, I learned it. My homeroom teacher said that I was pretty quick on picking it up." Oh? That's good. If that is the case, then there is a chance she could move to my class, but that is probably unlikely.
"Then are you going to practice more?" She nodded to my question and went to her room.
"If you're going to practice, how about we practice together?" I wanted to test something. If it worked, then Olivia could be stronger quicker.
"Ok! let's practice together." She smiled warmly, having to spend time with me, deciding what we wanted to do. So I went to her room.
"Hey, Olivia. Would you mind if I tested something on you?" I asked. I needed her permission if she would allow me to do an experiment on her.
Seeing that she didn't refuse me. I told her to lay on the bed. Laying on the bed, I proceed to hug her. She let out a yelp due to my surprise.
Her face was beet red. She was nervous about what I would do, and we began staring at each other without having us do anything. Then, not wanting to waste any more time, I began to absorb mana for a few seconds.
"Can you feel your absorption speed faster when I try to absorb them?" Wanting to confirm it, I asked. But, for some reason, her face blushed even more when I talked.
She nodded her head. "I can feel it increase a little. I didn't expect that your speed would be this much." When she talked, I could feel her breath. We were a few inches away from kissing each other.
Repositioning myself, I hugged her dragging her body on top of mine. Our legs were entangled, Both of our bodies were glued together, Olivia's chest was on top of mine, and our faces brushed against each other. Increasing our mana capacity, we spent all our time doing it till the next day.
Waking up, I could feel how much mana I had absorbed. If I did this for another week, I would be a second-level mage. Olivia, holding me tightly, would take at least a month for her to rank up.
Since I woke up, I had to decide whether to attend today's class. Even if I didn't participate in today's lesson, I don't think the teacher would blame me. Actually, I think she would be mad if I were to go to class. The rate I absorbed mana was that great.
But since I could gain mana without doing anything, I didn't feel like sitting down for multiple hours a day. So I should go to today's class. Maybe I will learn something useful.
Olivia, who was still sleeping, was muttering in her sleep. "Charlie, give me more, hehehe~" She mumbled in her sleep. What was Olivia dreaming of? It looked like she was having the time of her life. Although I didn't want to ruin her sweet dream, I had to. It was time for her to wake up.
Shaking her, she woke up. She was looking at me with her eyes half closed. "Charlie..? Good Morning." she nuzzled my cheeks with hers hugging me.
Refreshed from her intimacy, we both got up, preparing to head to class. After finishing, we went to class.
Splitting up with Olivia, I went to my class, sitting in my seat. Serena, who was already here, was staring at me. While she was looking at me yesterday, today's stare was different. I didn't know how to describe it, but it was more intense this time.
It was time for class, and Ms. Celeste had arrived. "Morning, everyone. Yesterday you unlocked your ability to absorb mana around you. Now it's time to test your ability out now that you have grown a little." So today's lesson was a practical one, good thing I didn't skip today's class.
Leaving the classroom, Serena walked with me. I don't know what she is up to, but I can feel she was up to doing something.
"Charlie, why don't we have a bet!" A bet, she says? Should I ignore it? I didn't know what kind of bet she wanted to make.
Humoring her, I asked her what bet. "What kind of bet?"
"We'll be competing on how strong our magic is!" There's no way she would think I would accept this kind of bet, right? I knew she was a second-level magician, so what in the right mind would she think I would accept that outcome?
"Why would I accept that bet?" Of course, if I was an idiot that thought the world centered around me, I would've accepted it.
"You've been awfully close to this girl named Olivia. It would be a shame if something bad happened to her." Did this bitch just threaten me? Did yesterday's stunt that I pulled make her that mad? I clenched my hand in anger. I had tolerated her long enough. When I get strong enough, I will mess with this bitch!
"Look, I understand you're angry, but that homewrecker needs to back off. You're mine!" As she continued to talk, I kept glaring at her.
"How about this? I won't do anything to your friend if you accept this bet. I also wouldn't use anyone to harm her either. How about it?" Should I accept this bet? I like Olivia as a friend, but how much do I like her? Fuck!
"What does the winner get from this bet?" I asked to confirm whether it was worth it.
"The winner of this bet would be able to command the loser for a week; however, the winner shouldn't go overboard with their command."
"May I add a rule?" I needed to change the rule so it wouldn't harm my standing in my family.
"Go ahead." She said, not caring, thinking that she had already won.
"We could only command each other when no one is around." I wouldn't want rumors that the Celeste heir had a Solaris member in the palms of their hands.
"Fine, you may." She agreed to my terms. With that, we head to the training room.
