Chapter 5
Time passed to evening. Back at home, I changed into my Magic Academy school uniform and showed it off to Qifeng and Lian Qi.
“Seeing me in my school uniform, doesn’t it make you nostalgic?” I asked with a smile.
“It’s wonderful! By the way… can I touch your thighs?” Qifeng asked me shyly, her face red. I quickly took half a step back and made an ‘X’ gesture with my hands.
“Absolutely not.”
“Eh? Why not?” She pouted, but acting cute at me was useless.
“Last time on the school sports field, I agreed to the same request from you, and you ended up hugging my thigh and rubbing against it for a long time in front of everyone!”
“Ah, that happened!?”
I pointed at her. “Don’t you play dumb with me!”
Eh? Speaking of which, how come Lian Qi has had no reaction at all this whole time? After hanging out with her at the Magic Academy for so long, she should be used to seeing me in my school uniform by now.
I almost ignored her while flirting with Qifeng. I quickly gave her an apologetic smile. She stood to the side, watching me silently, and then said, “Nostalgic for what? You just stopped wearing the uniform a few days ago. By the way, why are you wearing it?”
“Mm, because Sister Aijieliya is coming to my house to give me tutoring.”
The words slipped out, and then…
And then…
The way Lian Qi was looking at me was a bit off! What was she thinking? Could it be that she’s imagining some kind of kinky role-playing scenario is why I’m wearing this?
My face instantly turned red, and I hurriedly said, “Please don’t look at me with the eyes you’d use for a pervert, okay? I’m doing this for the learning atmosphere!”
“Alright, alright, I get it.”
“What do you get? Actually, it was Sister who requested—”
Knock, knock, knock. A knock on the door interrupted my words. Blushing, I ran to open the door.
It was already dark. I opened the door—and sure enough, it was Sister Aijieliya. I could clearly sense her eyes light up when she saw me in my school uniform.
“Sister, you’re right on time,” I said with a weak laugh. Being stared at by her intense eyes makes me feel a bit abashed.
“Of course. I’m a teacher, how could I be late?”
“Well, please come in. It’s pretty cold outside.” I shifted to the side, clearing the doorway.
As soon as Sister entered, she saw Lian Qi and Qifeng sitting on the sofa. The two of them said in unison, “Hello, Headmaster.”
“Qifeng, you haven’t been home at all during this time?”
“Mn, because after my grandfather passed away, I’m the only one at home.”
Hearing this, I thought to myself: So this is your reason for freeloading in my bed and not leaving? You make me worry every day that if I sleep in a bad position, my identity as a boy will be exposed by you.
“But seeing you so energetic and lively, I feel relieved.” Sister said, then turned her gaze to Lian Qi, revealing a kind smile. “Still wearing our school’s uniform even after graduation?”
“Mn, I don’t plan on changing for the time being.”
“Lian Qi, can I borrow your bedroom for a bit? Sister Aijieliya is going to give me tutoring.”
As I was speaking, she cut in—in a suggestive tone: “Lend my bedroom to you for ‘tutoring’? Sure, you can.”
That just sounds wrong to me.
“What are you talking about? It’s only because your bedroom is the only one with a desk…”
Seriously!
Lian Qi always looks like her mind is running wild about the content of Sister Aijieliya’s tutoring session with me, when it’s clearly just a very proper one-on-one magic tutoring session! She’s definitely got the wrong idea!
I couldn’t be bothered with her anymore and pulled Sister Aijieliya into the bedroom.
After locking the door, I leaned back against it with my hands behind my back and let out a deep sigh of relief. Then I turned to look at Sister and gave her a shy smile: “Sister, I listened to you and wore my school uniform today.”
Sister moved closer to me, unable to resist placing her hands on my shoulders.
“Fei’er, you’re so obedient. Sister loves seeing you in your school uniform. You look just like my student…”
Uu… Why is Sister’s gaze on me… a bit “lecherous”? It’s so abashing. Not only that, it’s as if she’s trying to see right through me. I couldn’t help but feel that if Sister kept staring at me like this, the secret under my skirt wouldn’t be kept. I quickly found an excuse and awkwardly escaped.
“Oh, right! I still have the notes I took in class when I was studying with Lian Qi!”
I hurried to the desk, took the class notebook from the drawer, and laid it flat on the desk. Usually, I leave it in Lian Qi’s bedroom so she can flip through it before bed and review some knowledge.
Ahem, since it’s a tutoring session, we should act like it’s a tutoring session. The atmosphere of a “teacher” putting her hands on a “student’s” shoulders just now wasn’t right… So, I sat down properly at the desk, and Sister also brought over a small stool and sat next to me.
Because it’s a one-on-one tutoring session, we have to sit this close. It really is a different feeling from watching Sister lecture from the podium in the classroom, isn’t it?
“The knowledge in the class notes isn’t applicable to you, little sister. Because your power is Holy Light, not magic.”
“It seems my body’s composition is also a little different from others’,” I said weakly.
Ahem, of course I’m not referring to the fact that I’m clearly the Saintess but am actually a boy!
I’m referring to…
“My body’s fluids… tears, saliva… whatever flows out is Holy… Light.”
For some reason, it feels so abashing to say it out loud. After all, I’m a freak, different from normal people, right? Leaking pure white Holy Light and all… it just feels a bit weird.
“So… my blood is probably the same,” I added.
“After all, you are the Saintess nurtured by the Holy Light,” Sister said, observing me with eyes full of love.
“Mn…”
Actually, it’s wonderful that everyone hasn’t treated me like a freak all these years. Especially Lian Qi. She also accepted the me with this weird body composition, and even tried sticking her finger into my mouth and stirring it around like cotton candy before pulling it out… Waah… too shameful, let’s not talk about it!
“Fei’er, you are an existence that transcends the magical system, so the four schools of magic don’t seem to apply to you. However, your long-handled hammer looks like it’s from the Transmutation/Illusion school.”
“Mn, Sister, not only can I conjure a hammer, I can also change the properties of the Holy Light. It feels a bit like the Evocation school. For example, I can make the Holy Light sticky, make it elastic, I can heal wounds, and I can also…”
I didn’t continue, because Sister’s hand had inadvertently rested on my stockinged thigh.
“You can also what?” Sister asked in a gentle voice.
My cheeks couldn’t help but flush red, and I stammered, “I can… replenish mana.”
“Oh? Replenish mana? How do you replenish it?” Sister stared at me with interest. Although her hand under the table wasn’t misbehaving, just thinking that she is my sister… this sense of transgression made me feel completely at a loss.
“Actually… it’s… my saliva can replenish mana…” I answered hesitantly.
Uwaah, I’m really worried that if I say this, Sister will pounce on me!
After all, almost everyone around me is a magician! Hearing the words “replenish mana,” it wouldn’t be surprising if they pounced on me like a drug addict craving a fix!
No, no—! Sister Aijieliya isn’t that kind of person!
