“Hmm?”
After leaving the martial arts practice field, Mu’en suddenly stopped on the path covered with the leaves of the phoenix tree.
With a hint of confusion in his gaze, he scanned his surroundings.
It was class time, so there were no other students on the road.
The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves could be heard.
It seemed that there was nothing unusual.
“But why do I feel like someone is watching me?”
Mu’en couldn’t help but frown.
That faint sense of being observed felt like a snake in the shadows, quietly flicking its tongue at him.
“Is there a pervert stalking me?”
Mu’en shivered.
“But wasn’t that guy Kolen caught?”
Thinking this, Mu’en dared not linger, shook his head, and quickly left the area.
…
The library during class time had very few people.
“Eh? Junior?”
Senior Anna was dressed in the black uniform and long skirt of a librarian, her smooth long hair braided in a twist, cascading down like a gentle older sister from next door.
But when she saw Mu’en, the slight crescent curve of her eyes revealed a hint of her little devilish nature.
“What are you doing here at this time? Didn’t you have class?
Could it be…”
Anna leaned over the table with her hands propped up, letting out a gentle scent, and smiled sweetly:
“Did you skip class just to see me?”
“I…”
Under Anna’s “aura,” Mu’en leaned slightly back, but his gaze couldn’t help but drift downward.
So big.
So high.
So imposing.
From this angle, it was not only possible to fully appreciate the grandeur of those two peaks, but he also seemed to catch a glimpse of the bottomless ravine from the tight gap in her shirt.
“Junior.”
Noticing Mu’en’s gaze, Anna’s tone carried a hint of reproach.
She extended a finger and playfully pushed Mu’en’s head up, forcing him to look away.
“Leering is not allowed, you know.”
“Bullshit, I’m not.”
Mu’en’s cheeks turned slightly red as he retorted in shock.
“Seriously.”
Anna straightened up, crossed her arms, and sighed:
“This librarian uniform is already the most conservative in the academy; to still be staring so lewdly, just how hopeless are you, Junior?”
“Who told you to look so good, and have such a perfect figure?” Mu’en chuckled foolishly.
“Let’s just pretend you’re complimenting me.”
Anna smiled charmingly, then lowered her head to continue sorting the books in front of her that Mu’en had interrupted.
“So?”
“Hmm?”
“The question earlier.”
“Oh.”
Mu’en reacted, then immediately struck a cool pose, leaning against the nearby wall and narcissistically tousling his bangs:
“As you said, I came specifically to see you.”
“Really?”
Anna raised her eyes, casting a meaningful glance at Mu’en’s other hand.
“You came to see me and brought a gift? Hmm, let me see what you brought? An Introduction to Basic Magic? Hmm-hmm, Junior Mu’en, you’re so impressive! How did you know this is my favorite book? I like it so much that even though I don’t need to study this subject, I’ve flipped through it more than dozens of times recently.”
“Um…”
Mu’en awkwardly hid the textbook behind him, grinning awkwardly: “Senior, you’ve mistaken; how could I be so shameless to disturb you during work hours?”
“Oh, is that so?”
Senior Anna raised an eyebrow:
“Since I was mistaken, then Junior Mu’en, feel free. It’s class time, and there aren’t many people in the library, so you can do whatever you want.
Just don’t disturb my work, okay?”
Senior Anna patted the neatly organized books in front of her, a mischievous smile on her face:
“After all, it is work time.”
“I was wrong, Lady Anna.”
Mu’en immediately joined his hands in prayer, begging for mercy:
“I’m just a shameless scumbag; please surely forget what I just said and give me a good lesson!”
“That’s more like it, my lovely scumbag Junior.”
Anna giggled, her delicate body trembling with the laugh, making Mu’en’s heart sway.
“Let’s go then.”
Anna organized the books and pushed open the little door of the counter.
“Eh?”
Seeing Senior Anna just walk out like that, Mu’en was a bit taken aback, blinking his eyes:
“Is it really okay to leave your post like this?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not leaving the library; I just need to find a spot where I can see the counter. Besides…”
Anna smiled sweetly at Mu’en:
“During class time, besides the bad student Junior who seems to be cutting class, who else would come to the library?”
“…True.”
Mu’en scanned the library; aside from a few upperclassmen quietly searching for information, there were no other people.
…
After Senior Anna found a spot near the counter to sit down, for Mu’en, the bittersweet learning time began again.
Complex knowledge was broken down by the skilled Anna into easily absorbable bits for Mu’en, continuously pouring into his mind.
Mu’en could clearly feel his own progress.
However, what delighted him wasn’t just that.
Whenever he looked up and saw Senior Anna seemingly engrossed in teaching with every frown and smile, Mu’en couldn’t help but wish that time would slow down, even more slowly.
If only this kind of time could continue forever…
“Junior, you smell like a woman.”
After finishing a section of knowledge, Anna casually said while flipping through her book.
“Um…”
Mu’en, who was lost in delightful thoughts, suddenly froze.
“Really… is there?”
“This scent, I smelled it before, you know?”
Anna set down her book, her expression somewhat meaningfully.
“It was the same as when I visited you in the infirmary; it must be that student council president.”
Stunned, Mu’en recalled that afterward, he had had “intimate” contact with over thirty men. Was that something that could be sensed?
(TN: Refers to the male student who apologized to him)
“My sense of smell has always been sensitive,” Anna seemed to see through Mu’en’s thoughts and smiled:
“So, is it true?”
“Yeah…”
“Does that mean before coming here, you met with that student council president?”
“Ah… yes.”
Mu’en replied stiffly.
Strange, why did he feel this guilty sensation like a scumbag caught in a lie?
Clearly, he hadn’t done anything!
No, I must…
Just as he wanted to say something to change the awkward atmosphere, Anna leaned her cheek on her hand.
A sweet fragrance lingered at Mu’en’s nose.
“By the way, Junior, you’re quite the famous playboy in the academy.”
“Didn’t I mention before? That’s just a rumor.” Mu’en forced a smile.
“While that’s true, but you, Junior Mu’en, are always close to those famous girls in the academy.”
“Am I?”
Mu’en scratched his cheek.
He didn’t feel anything from the girls, but he felt like there were boys coveting his body.
However, Senior suddenly brought this up…
“So, I want to ask…”
Anna suddenly flipped her hair, her eyes that seemed to hold spring water slightly curved as she softly asked:
“Does Junior have someone he likes?”
“Eh?”
Anna’s words were so clear and so sudden.
Like a professional boxer suddenly delivering a heavy punch to Mu’en’s heart, stirring it up.
Mu’en’s eyes widened, instinctively looking left and right.
At some point, everyone else in the library had left, leaving just the two of them.
So, it was utterly silent.
Wait, wait, wait.
This environment.
This atmosphere.
Senior asking such a question suddenly.
Could it be that she wants to…
