Chapter 19: Reunion/First Meeting
After defeating Adam, I went to the second floor to see how the rest was going. When I got there, Eliza ran to me with a pout.
She complained about why I didn't tell her anything about my strength.
"Because you didn't ask. And why should I tell you about it?"
"You should! You made me worried! I thought you were going to get beaten up by that unpleasant guy!"
Her honest thoughts spilled out when she raised her voice. That was one requirement down, I just needed to make her do that again 3 more times.
Unexpectedly, though, she was the one who was called out by Rania and went down next with a girl from Class 4.
It seemed like Rania still had a conscience, putting a girl with another girl.
Well, I sat on the edge of the spectator seats while being watched by other students with respected gazes and awe. However, most of these gazes only came from commoner students. The noble kids sent me an envious gaze because they saw a commoner stronger than them.
'Well, that will change shortly after, though. So I don't need to bother with them.'
Eliza stood in the middle of the training ground, facing a short girl with brown hair. She chose a long-staff weapon, while her opponent chose a sword.
I shouldn't be surprised if she chose that. Because from the description of her profile, Eliza was proficient with <Wind Magic>, and it was said her talent was the best among her peers.
Even now, she had a confident smile on her face as Rania started the duel. The following was the same as my duel earlier. A mechanical voice rang inside the training ground as a dome-shaped barrier appeared.
"<Wind Blade!>"
As soon as the duel began, Eliza jumped back and sent <Wind Blade>, a Magic that even a Level 5 newbie could use toward her opponent. It flew at a fast speed and hit her opponent's blade.
The opponent staggered back slightly, and Eliza used this chance to send a barrage of the same Magic, keeping the sword-wielding girl in her place.
While the duel was ongoing, I used 'Requirement Appraisal' on Rania. And when the usual panel appeared in front of me, my jaw dropped.
Name: Rania Reylana
Race: Human
Description:
A self-defense teacher at Virtue Royal Academy and former female Knight Corp's Commander.
Someone from an orphanage that managed to rise in power because of her talent in <Swordsmanship> and <Holy Magic>. She's someone who is called the closest one to be a Paladin.
Resigning from being the female Knight Corp's Commander and became a teacher to teach future talents because she felt a wall to become stronger. However, that is only an excuse. The real reason is that she felt good being hit. A huge masochist.
[Note: She's Arthur's big sister in the orphanage.]
Status:
Sins: 0
Virtues: 450
Sins needed to dominate her: 500
Requirement:
1. Beat her in an official duel
2. Get her recognition (Done)
3. Spank her butt in public 5 times
4. Win the annual tournament of Virtue Royal Academy
'Shit.'
That was my only reaction when I read the note written by the system.
So that was why her eyes widened when she saw me? Because she had recognized me as her little brother?
This… was something. I had never expected this, as back in the game, we weren't given the details about Rania's backstory. I only knew something about her being from an orphanage, but I didn't think she was related to Arthur, the minor villain.
Didn't that mean the protagonist was really a scum if he was on the harem route? I meant… poor Arthur. His childhood friend and sister got stolen from him and got banged by Adam.
'Don't worry, though.'
Because in this world, I wouldn't allow that. I was Arthur, and I wouldn't let what was mine be stolen by anyone else.
On a side note, it seemed like Eliza won by a landslide. She was looking in this direction and waving her hands, and I waved back.
Well, looking at how happy she was, I guess I would take her somewhere nice later after surprising her with my new position.
***
The class was over, and the students were once again gathered in the middle of the training ground. Adam was the only student who died in this test and was still in the infirmary to recover.
Rania said she would give the training menu through Emilia later, and they should be ready tomorrow. The fight after Eliza was honestly boring. I almost fell asleep if not for Eliza keeping me awake with some comments about the noble kids.
Thanks to her, I now knew the names of our classmates. Not all, but at least some of them.
After knowing that Rania was Arthur– my big sister, her gaze wasn't making me curious as before. She gave some directions about what the defeated students should fix and praised the winning students.
They nodded their heads, thanking Rania for her advice. Afterward, she looked around the students and said,
"Alright. Change your clothes back and return to your classroom. There will be no class until after lunch, but you should self-study and not linger around outside the classroom. Also…"
Her gaze landed on me, narrowing slightly. "Student Arthur should stay. I still need to punish you for being late to the class."
"Yes, ma'am."
All of them answered at the same time and headed to the fitting room. Eliza looked at me worriedly for a second, but she turned around and walked away with a girl who was her opponent earlier. It seemed like she had made a new friend.
Then as the students disappeared, Rania's expression suddenly changed. It became warmer, and her lips curled up into a smile.
"I did say that I should punish you. But before that…" She sheathed her sword and approached me. Without any warning, she held my head and pushed my face between her breasts, hugging me with a lot of force. "It's been a long time, Arthur!"
Her personality was really different from before. It turned 180 degrees. And from what the result of the appraisal told me, it seemed like she was a huge masochist.
"Y-Yeah." I replied with much difficulty. Even though I loved the softness of her mounds, it was a bit hard to breathe in this place. My hands went into a questionable place– holding her hips to push her away– as I continued. "I-It's been a long time, Rania."
Our reunion was over. Even after knowing that she was my big sister in this world, although not related by blood, my decision didn't change.
'I will dominate her in the future.'
