Mixed Blessing System

"Mmmm~"

The two kissed for at least a few minutes in Anneke's room's entrance hallway. At first, this teacher of Lothur's had resisted a bit, but after feeling his movements, her hands stopped trying to push him away.

Soon she had both hands on Lothur's face, one gently massaging his right cheek and the other on the back of his neck.

In that instant, nothing but the sensation of his tongue was on her mind, as she momentarily forgot that he had dared to make such a move against her.

At the end of the minutes of intense kissing, Lothur separated his lips from hers and looked intensely into her eyes. "What did you think? Surprised, no?" He laughed, pleased with Anneke's lost look.

She then regained her rationality and felt what she had just allowed herself to do as she used her hands to straighten her messy clothes. 'This bastard truly is a good kisser. I'll give him that!'

'But he's too bold! And a womanizer to make it worse!' She looked at him in silence, not knowing what to do in this unexpected situation.

Anneke was a beauty, a respectable student both for her teaching duties and for her above-average aptitude. Because of this, few men dared to act so assertively against her.

Even if she had already had her experiences with love, she always had to show many signs for the people she was interested in to realize that they should take action. Because of this, she had never been kissed without first giving a sign of approval or taking the initiative.

That put her in this unique situation, feeling good but also confused.

"Lothur..." She sighed as she closed her eyes. 'What do I do with you now?'

'Sigh!'

'I guess I'd better not give him the pleasure and say what I thought.... I'll just pretend it didn't happen!' She made up her mind silently.

"What were you talking about before? A metal leaf? What do you want with that?" She wiped her lips and indicated with one of her hands the way for Lothur to follow her.

After that, she sat down in a leather armchair under Lothur's curious gaze.

'Are you just going to ignore our kiss? I must say, this is the first time I have come across an answer like that...' He smiled and sat down in front of her. 'But since that's what you want, I'll play by your rules.'

"Hmm, I want to find leaves like that. I don't have much information about it, but I feel they are important to me..."

He closed his eyes momentarily and said. "Anyway, I believe that if we work together, we can find out what they are, and eventually, you will be able to quench your curiosity. What do you say?"

She watched him silently for a few moments, observing his eyes and sometimes his lips. "All right, I'll help you get information about these leaves, but I can't guarantee anything. This information you've given me is vague..."

"By the way," He interrupted her as he remembered something. "I have another tip to give you."

"Oh?"

"These leaves I speak of are probably similar to the one Viktoria has on her necklace. I don't know if she knows what that is, which may also be the situation for other owners of that item. So, maybe the owners of that don't value it as I said..."

"I see..." She muttered as she looked at the little table that separated Lothur and her. "Anyway, I'll see what I can do. But you already owe me a lot, Lothur..."

"How do you intend to repay for so many favors? Will you always lie to me and use excuses?"

"You want payments that could potentially get me killed... What do you expect? That I hand over my head on a silver platter to you?"

"However, if you want something different, for example, to have me, then I guess I won't have to lie or use excuses..." He laughed as he opened his arms and relaxed in an armchair.

"You?" Her face turned red as the feeling from earlier traveled through her body.

After a few moments with one watching the other intensely, she sighed deeply and calmed her nerves. "I'll think about what I want from you without demanding that you take risks..."

"But you'd better not behave so boldly in the future. I don't know if I'll be able to hold my strength if you make me angry, Lothur."

He smiled at her comment. "I think you know how to control yourself more than you think, Anne. Otherwise, I don't think I'd be here anymore... By the way, I don't think you get angry at all... I can't tell, but you seemed pretty comfortable earlier."

"Our conversation ends here!" She stood up and pulled Lothur by one of his wrists. "Go. I don't want to see you until the next geopolitics class!"

"Hehe, see you later!"

After closing the door to her room, Anneke relaxed against one of the walls there as she let out a long sigh of relief. 'I have to be more careful!'

'That fellow knows how to tease me.'

'He's a hunter, and I only have to lose by falling into his traps!'

...

After leaving Anneke's room, Lothur made his way to his and Elke's private place, where he had fun for a few moments with that woman before getting on with the afternoon's business at the academy.

At the end of the day, Lothur left Sector-1 accompanied by Elke, intent on going to the Cultivation House with her to get the results of the investigation he had paid for earlier.

Upon doing so, he made his way to the site of Annaliese's carriage, where he knew his sister-in-law would already be waiting for him, as usual.

Arriving there beside Elke, he knocked on one of the carriage windows and communicated with his sister-in-law. "Anna, I have something to take care of, so you can go without me."

Hearing that, Annaliese and Viktoria looked through that window and saw a red-haired woman standing next to Lothur, her face as red as a tomato.

'That...'

'That's the daughter of the Becker family!' Viktoria identified Lothur's companion and felt he was teasing her for going there with his woman.

But surprisingly, Viktoria was not the most annoyed person there. No, while she clenched her fists in anger at Lothur's audacity, Annaliese left the inside of that carriage with an irritated expression.

"May I know where you are going?" She ignored Elke and looked at Lothur with a meaningful look.

"Hmm." Lothur laughed. "I'm going to the Cultivation House with my friend, Elke."

"Oh? A friend, huh?"

Hearing Annaliese's hostility-filled words, Elke felt ashamed that their relationship was much more complicated than that. She could not help but feel bad that she was sleeping with the husband of the woman inside that carriage, who the sister was probably trying to defend at this instant.

"Well then, I will go with you!" She left some things inside that carriage and said goodbye to her sister. "Sister, I will keep an eye on my brother-in-law. Then go home without me."

"Anna, you don't have to. I don't..."

"No," Annaliese insisted. "I will!"

"That's..." Elke tugged at Lothur's shirt, looking at him with a worried expression on her face.

"Don't worry, Elke. Anna and I get along very well. I'm sure you two will soon be like sisters." He smiled as he comforted his partner.

As he did so, he noted her status once again.

[Name: Elke Becker]

[Cultivation: level 2]

[STR: 1.5] [CON: 3.0] [DEX: 2.9] [AGI: 3.1]

'Elke's characteristics were steadily rising... In particular, her constitution improves every time we have sex...'

'Is that because of me, or is it the very characteristic of her body?' He wondered as Annaliese finished getting ready to accompany him.

'Anyway, it seems that every time her constitution goes up, the other attributes improve shortly afterward... Hmm, that must be because her training is more intense? Her body becomes more resilient and starts producing faster nerve responses, so her training is more efficient?'

'That must be the case.'

'Well, when I have my first time with Anna, I'll see if she or I generate these effects.' As he thought about it, he saw Annaliese take one of his arms and hug it as if ready to compete with Elke.

He then joked. "Elke, why don't you come and take my left arm?"

"That... Won't people think that's weird?" She asked, embarrassed.

And as Annaliese pinched his right forearm, Lothur said. "Find what weird? Would anyone in this city think that I am capable of staying with two beautiful women like you two? A good-for-nothing like me wouldn't be able to achieve that..."

"Besides, Anna is my sister-in-law. Since she's already doing it, no one will think strange things if you do the same, Elke." He then laughed and said. "Only I risk being mistaken for someone who doesn't like women..."

After these comments finished coming out of his mouth, Viktoria felt as if something very wrong was happening in front of her, but she did not quite understand the feeling in her heart.

On the other hand, Annaliese and Elke had very different thoughts from Viktoria's, as they had their secrets with him.

"Hahaha, ladies, may we go?"
