The World Is Mine For The Taking

Chapter 512 - 81 - Two Professors (5)

After that, the two professors adjusted their appearances, smoothing out their clothes and brushing their hair back into place.

"Let’s call it a draw for now," Irene said with a soft sigh. "Leon doesn’t seem ready to let you go just yet."

"Master doesn’t seem like he wants to let go of you, is what you mean," Gabrielle quipped, her tone sharp.

Their eyes locked, and tension flared between them. As they leaned in, their large breasts pressed together, the soft flesh squishing visibly under the pressure. The intensity of their rivalry hadn’t dulled, not even after the threesome we’d just shared.

"Why the hell are you still mad at each other?" I asked, raising an eyebrow. "You were literally naked together, having a threesome."

"It wasn’t a threesome!" they both snapped, glaring at me in unison.

Technically, it was a threesome, but they clearly weren’t willing to admit it. Their mutual hatred seemed to overshadow even that moment of intimacy.

"Fine," I said, leaning back. "Can I at least ask what happened between you two that makes you hate each other so much?"

They exchanged glances, then looked at me, hesitation flickering in their eyes.

"It’s nothing of your concern, Master," Gabrielle finally said, crossing her arms. "It’s just... something from the past. You could call it a childish fight."

"Hmph," I scoffed. "If it’s stretching out to this day, it’s clearly more than just a ’childish fight.’"

Irene let out a small huff before speaking. "Gabrielle is still mad at me for not graduating in the gold class."

"We made a promise," Gabrielle cut in, her voice sharp with frustration. "We swore, as friends, that we’d graduate as part of the gold class together. But Irene just gave up. She stopped trying. I encouraged her to get back on track, to climb the rankings again, but she wouldn’t listen. It was like all her motivation to become a Magic Knight just disappeared."

"That’s your own fault, Gabrielle," Irene shot back. "Yes, I made that promise, but you became so overbearing that it was unbearable. Every time my ranking dropped, you’d start nagging at me to do better. I did still dream of becoming a Magic Knight, but you made it exhausting. You became so obsessed with that goal that I didn’t even want to try anymore. And to top it all off, when you graduated at the top of the gold class, you humiliated me in front of everyone. You berated me. How could I not be furious with you after that?"

So that was the story. Honestly, it wasn’t as complicated as I’d expected. Gabrielle had made it sound like Irene had simply broken her promise, but from the way things sounded now, both of them were at fault. Gabrielle’s intensity clearly pushed Irene away, and Irene’s response only escalated the situation.

In the end, I couldn’t take sides. They were both to blame, really.

"Don’t you think maybe it’s time you two put the past behind you?" I asked, folding my arms. "I mean, sure, there were differences between you back then, and it led to all this fighting. But it’s been years. You’re still holding onto it, still ignoring each other like it just happened."

Both of them turned to look at each other, their expressions hard to read.

Irene’s POV

When the door closed, silence quickly filled my office.

I groaned and let my forehead hit the desk with a dull thud.

What the hell had I just done? Seriously, what the hell! I had sex with Leon—together with Gabrielle.

Gabrielle tried to insist it wasn’t a threesome, but let’s be honest, no matter how you look at it, that was undeniably a threesome.

"Goodness, I’ve made such a mistake! I can’t believe I let myself get swayed into doing that with her!"

It was a reckless, impulsive mistake—something born purely out of the heat of the moment. I never would’ve imagined myself doing something like that, yet I ended up crossing that line with her anyway.

"And to think I swore I wouldn’t let any other woman be in Leon’s life aside from me... and now I’ve gone and had sex with him alongside another woman," I muttered bitterly, banging my head against the desk again. It hurt, but the pain was almost comforting. Maybe it’d help bury the memory deep enough that I wouldn’t have to think about it anymore.

I wasn’t someone who wanted to be in a polyamorous relationship. I craved the simplicity and security of a monogamous bond. I’d seen plenty of happy, normal couples living fulfilling lives in their monogamy. That was the kind of relationship I wanted with Leon.

But now, after experiencing something I shouldn’t have—and as much as I hated to admit it, enjoying it—I was starting to question everything. Maybe... just maybe... being part of a polyamorous relationship wouldn’t be so terrible.

"Ugh, this feels like something Leon orchestrated," I murmured, pressing my cheek against the desk with a deep sigh. "He certainly didn’t hold back when he was switching between our holes, that bastard."

The thought of becoming part of his harem was something I’d adamantly refused. I’d told him I wanted a monogamous relationship. But now... I wasn’t so sure. The idea of polyamory didn’t seem as awful as I’d once believed.

Leon’s POV

Spring vacation had finally arrived, and with it came the anticipation of becoming a second-year cadet at Milham Academy of Magic Knights.

But more importantly, spring marked the beginning of the Sword Festival—a grand tournament where contestants would showcase their swordsmanship and unique fighting styles. They’d battle one another for the grand prize of ten thousand gold coins.

It was a ridiculous amount of money, and naturally, it drew all kinds of participants: adventurers, mercenaries, knights, and even academy cadets.

For some reason, Titania had specifically asked me to participate. And so, I did.
