"Hey big brother, I can't sleep~" Amae said as she strolled into my bedroom.
My little sister wore an alluring midnight-black nightgown paired with thigh-high stockings — her pajamas. Small motes of warm light followed her like trailing fireflies. Amae chanted a command「Luminescence Spread」as soon she sat on my bed. The lights quickly scattered, permeating the room as it began to brighten in a few seconds.
"Want to join me tonight?" I blew out the candle since it was unneeded in the presence of my talented magician sister.
"I guess I'll take your offer," Amae replied in a smug tone, shrugging nonchalantly as she lay down and snuggled her cute face next to my chest. "I'll keep you company, only because you asked."
I laughed at her a-dork-able response.
"Anything bothering you, my dear sister?" I patted her head while she smiled in response. Her flowing, jet-black hair felt smooth between my fingers as I gently ran them down to her waist.
"That you're a 'Regular' and I am a 'Potential'." Amae then let out a deep sigh, drifting back into a sullen mood and held onto a pillow. "It's not fair. Even though we're going to the same school, we won't be in the same class. I want to be with you."
Temple Academy, a prestigious institution branded by countless experts and archmages across the world as the pinnacle for studying academic magic. Attending students were conferred ranks based on the results of an entrance exam.
A to C ranking were categorized as 'Potentials' while D to F were considered 'Regulars', with the latter being the lowest. Standing at the apex, 'S-rank' was the highest ranking a student can attain.
It is known that many of the famous magicians, such as XIV of Numerals Society, capable of using fourteen impressive variations of fire-elemental magic and Ade from Adventurer's Guild, an erudite archmage that single-handedly slain a Dragon were 'S-rank' prior to graduation.
It was unlucky for Amae that Temple Academy only permitted new coming students to be at the maximum of 'A-rank'. But understanding my sister's talents and magic potency, I have absolute faith that she will reach 'S-rank' by next year. There was no doubt about it.
"I do agree that it is unfair but that is to be expected from a magic-oriented university. Besides, you'll still see me after class is over." I said in a gentle tone, as though trying to placate a pouty child. "The only big change is that we won't be living across the hall from one another."
"That's not what I mean, big brother." Amae sighed again, probably because I missed her point. "It's the fact that you're starting at the lowest rank. It is an absolute insult to your skills."
"The results of the entrance exam was determined by magic abilities alone. The fact that I can't use magic meant that I am automatically placed in the lowest rank."
Amae is a 'Four-Attribute Magic' user.
In other words, she could adeptly cast all four main elements: fire, water, wind, and earth. The average magician could only use one element while talented users could use two or three at best. Compared to the world, Amae was a legendary magician by societal standards.
In stark contrast to my gifted sister, I possessed no potential for elemental magic. While my swordsmanship may reign at a Hero-tier level, I will most likely stay a 'Regular' for the next five years based on Temple Academy's hierarchy system.
"Still..." Amae muttered under her breath. "Everything we did for the past few years at the Adventurer's Guild... All that hard work... It's basically like starting at Bronze-tier again."
"I really don't mind." I held her right hand as our fingers interlocked by habit. "I am just glad that I could be with you. Besides, there's a possibility I could enjoy being a Regular as well. School ranking and social reputation are the least of my concerns when I have you with me."
Grandmaster was the one who raised us; training me in swordsmanship and Amae in magic. Although he was a tough and stringent teacher, we both gladly accepted him as our paternal mentor.
We lived in a secluded dojo from society, near the summit of the tallest mountain in the world known as Mt. Ains. It was about half an hour from the nearest town, with half of it involving hiking down a lengthy, serpentine set of stone-sculpted stairs.
"What if you are bullied?" Amae leaned in, our faces inches away from each other. "I heard many stories that Regulars are treated badly, perhaps even worse compared to the Adventurer's Guild because most students are nobles of the upper class. You know how haughty they can be."
"Of course I will handle it if people were to disrespect me. And if anyone is foolish enough to challenge me to a duel..." I glanced at my prized Katana, resting in its ornate black-sheath on a weapon stand. "...you know what happens, even if they may be an 'S-rank.'"
"I know, big brother. There's no one in the school that obviously stands a chance against you." Amae nodded in reverence to my forte. "But do let me know if you need help... I just... don't want you to end up hating school because of me..."
"I won't." I smiled, now understanding the root of Amae's distress. To think all this time, she was worried about my well-being. "Thanks for caring about me, I love you."
I love her. I really do.
"Say it again."
"Thanks for caring about me—"
"—Nooooooo."
"Just kidding." I chuckled at her expression and then switched in a serious voice, gazing deeply into Amae's navy-blue eyes. "I love you, my dear little sister. Let's have a memorable school life together."
"Yay-!" Amae let out a joyous cry as her lips blossomed into a beaming smile.
I patted her head again as she embraced me, nuzzling lovingly against my neck.
I thought about that fateful day when we became siblings.
We had been together constantly for the last decade. From basic house chores to mastering martial arts, neither of us could tolerate the idea of being apart, even it was for just one day.
Although Grandmaster may joke at how much of a siscon I was, he understood that we were like bread and butter. Our love was no secret to him. His eyes always twinkled with merriment whenever he teased us. Like him, most of the apprentices found it sweet and endearing, not shameful.
I moved to her right ear and whispered in a dulcet voice, "I told you from the first day when we vowed to become siblings and I'll repeat it as many times as you want, a sister's all I need."
Amae's cute face blushed into a lovable tomato-red.
"I-if you say it like that..." Amae's voice trailed off into a soft whisper. "I am going to be embarrassed you know... But I'm really glad."
"You know it's true," I gave her a quick goodnight kiss on the lips, "We should rest now. It's an important day tomorrow, it would be quite tragic for us to oversleep for the first-year orientation."
Amae laughed and nodded. Then she uttered the spell,「Luminescence Fade」. The bedroom dimmed into a faint warm glow, now perfect for resting. She hated sleeping in the complete dark.
My little sister loved being the little spoon whenever we slept together; nineteen years old but still acted like a little princess around her big brother. Well, I was not much better since I was only a year older.
I wrapped my right arm around Amae's delicate body. She held onto my hand in response, nuzzling her cheek against it. I felt her body shifting closer to me as she pressed her back against my chest.
Amae had a homely scent. It was a warm feeling that reminded me of how I could trust her completely with my heart and soul. And that she would never let me down.
My little sister was my other half.
Now that I thought about it, Amae grew into a fine young lady. Being slightly above my chest, her height did little to diminish how nubile her body had become. Her bosom had grown bigger and her butt felt more firm and rounded over the past few years.
The more I imagined her body, the more erotic my thoughts became.
Memories of Amae stripping and whispering naughty phrases enveloped my mind. Even though we made love many times in the past, I could only admire her beautiful curves every single time.
Suddenly, I felt her butt pressing lightly against my crotch and then paused. Based on past experiences, I knew she was waiting for me to continue.
I grinded against her butt, feeling it become hard. I thought I heard a muffled moan of pleasure, but it faded back into her normal breathing pattern.
A devious smile broke across my face. I realized she was playing 'The Sleeping Game' again.
I placed my right hand down into the bottom opening of her shirt-dress, gently caressing her tender thighs while I lifted the edges up, exposing everything bare up to her stomach.
I felt her legs gradually spread open in response, trying to fulfill her desires without being too obvious.
The smooth texture of Amae's stockings felt amazing to touch. I ran my fingers downward again, starting from the knee to her thighs, occasionally pausing to deliver delayed gratification. As I arrived at Amae's nether region, my fingers felt something lacey and amidst of that was a little ribbon.
I rubbed both corner gaps between her vagina and thighs with my index and middle finger, seeing if Amae would 'wake up' to this approach. But she endured the pleasure. To my success, I felt a moist indentation as my fingers reunited in the center.
"I think it's time for the next stage," I purred into her ear. There was no response. I secretly applauded Amae for her roleplaying.
I took her panties off and used the two fingers of my right hand to stimulate the area around her vagina. While purposely avoiding the center, I enjoyed the sensation of squeezing the two mounds together, then pulling them apart.
"N...mm..."
Amae's body twitched with pleasure as I continued to tease her. She began to squirm when I decided to lift my fingers away. I could tell her body was begging for more.
Then I moved my middle finger towards the center and into the slit.
"Gah..."
As Amae let out a sexy gasp, my finger was enveloped in a slimy wet sensation. I continue sliding in and out while remembering this tight feeling. That place was so hot, moist and indescribably soft. After a few minutes, Amae's whimpers turned to heavy panting as I pulled out and moved above to her clit.
"Wow, to think you are this wet," I whispered softly into her ears. "How about a special massage?"
I kneaded the little knob that peeked out from the top of the slit with my middle finger. As I continued rubbing, my left hand worked on playing with her beautiful breasts. I greeted her perky nipple with a light pinch and then flicked them gently back and forth.
"Mm...mm...ahh..."
I felt her chest rise up and down to my constant fondling. Her head tilted back into the crevice of my neck, leaking out a lustful moan in my left ear. In response, I showered her with kisses.
"Ahh!~"
"Not bad. I'll give you props for lasting longer than last time, but it's about time I finish this up."
I sat Amae up in between my legs with her back lying on my chest. I cupped my hand around her left breast and continued massaging it.
My other hand rubbed her clit faster and faster, massaging it in a constant circular motion while I forced her legs wide apart by locking them with mine. I could tell Amae was about to cum as her body twitched then trembled. Her moans were now blatant and filled with sexual desires.
"Mmm...ah...ah..."
With my ultimate finishing move, I nibbled her ear.
"Ahhhh!~"
Amae let out a sweet cry since I just attacked her ultimate weakness. The ear. A sensual spot that I saved the best for last.
"I-I'm coming, c-coming..."
Amae threw her head back with a jerk—
"—Ahhh-!"
After her body squirmed in a fervent manner for several seconds, Amae then turned around and collapsed her flushed face onto me. I felt her warm breath wafted repeatedly on my chest, before looking up with a combined expression of satisfaction and exhaustion.
"Did that feel good, my love?" I smiled, loving the pleasure I bestowed onto her.
"Yes..." Amae proceeded to hug me tightly. "But you are always the one teasing me..."
"Well, if I don't do that first, you will be sucking me off while I am asleep. Isn't that what you did last time?" I stuck out my tongue as she pouted at me for realizing her plan, "Besides, it's our last night together before we move to the dormitory. I heard they have strict rules on sleepovers."
"Stupid big brother," Amae pouted. "Now I am too tired to help you out..."
"Get some rest," I smiled and then lay back on the bed, opening my arms so she could join me. "Just treat me to something delicious tomorrow."
"Alright, I love you... big brother..." Amae replied tiredly and collapsed beside me, her eyes struggling to remain open.
"I love you too, dear sister." I smiled and leaned over, covering Amae's lips with my own.
Amae lifted her head and kissed back. She then muttered something under her breath but I could not understand it. Knowing her personality, I think she said something along the lines of I'll find a way to continue our kiss streak.
As my sister fell into a deep sleep, I took some time to ponder about our upcoming quest, requested by Mari — the Guild Master of Adventurer's Guild in Libertea.
After all, we did not enroll in Temple Academy to reap its positive benefits or form powerful connections. Those were the least of our concerns.
Our mission was simple; to act as spies and uncover evidence of the Headmaster plotting a World Domination.

The Capital of Libertea stood at the intersection of four borders — Huo Dictatorship (Fire), Shui Kingdom (Water), Feng Theocracy (Wind) and Di Federation (Earth). Within Libertea, people felt safe about their elemental backgrounds since it was a progressive region, free from prejudice and traditions.
There were several plazas and markets surrounding the main walkway. The busiest one, 'Rose Entrance', was a lively boulevard filled with stalls selling food, weapons, magic tomes, and other commercial products.
On the sides, the traders energetically shouted their sale pitches to the customers. The older women haggled with the merchants as they searched for the freshest produce. Drawn by the aromatic scent of the spices, many passersby purchased skewers of barbecued meat and kebabs which oozed with umami.
This rowdy atmosphere would continue beyond midnight, making it one of the most popular spots for adventurers and travelers.
However, it quickly pacified as two Temple Academy students emerged at the entrance. Although there were many that passed by earlier, none stood out as prominent as them. It seemed like the two were best friends, maybe even a couple based on how close they were together.
They carried a large-brown duffle bag, wearing distinguishing black school uniforms. However, the girl's was trimmed with gilded gold. The locals here instantly knew what that meant. It would be foolish to not recognize the regalia of one of the most prestigious magic institutions in the world, especially when it was only a few blocks away.
Based on their uniform alone, it was obvious that the two were talented individuals. For those with magical knowledge, they revered at her magic aptitude based on the embellished gold and the four dashing emblems above her left chest, each representing the elements — water, fire, earth, air — she could use.
The female student was a dainty girl. Her sapphire-like eyes were a gentle yet deep blue while her lustrous midnight-black hair was braided into a cute side-ponytail. Her snow-white skin shone like pearls under the sun.
What drew the most attention was an air of elegance enveloping each graceful step. Accompanying the maiden's gravitas was her world-class beauty, causing onlookers to glance twice in her direction.
A square-faced girl and her chubby friend stared at the pair, whispering to themselves.
"She's so pretty... Do you think she's a model?"
"I wouldn't be surprised! Almost all the girls who enroll at Temple Academy are known for their beauty!"
"Look at the guy next to her. Do you think they are classmates?"
"No way, their outfits are different. But just look how happy the girl is, they're probably dating or in a relationship already."
The male student was slightly older than his counterpart. His neatly trimmed, black hair was straight like adamantium and combed back. The Katana he carried at his waist looked exceptionally ornate, decorated with a pair of golden serpents intertwined on the black sheath.
Despite his youthlike features, he carried himself like a confident veteran. His refined body posture and piercing, crimson-red eyes seemed to indicate years of battle experience.
More passersby began to gossip amongst themselves.
"Oh my oh my, is it me or are the students getting more attractive each passing year?"
"Grandmama! Shhhh!! Don't say it so loud!"
"I'm just saying the truth, dearie. Didn't you want to go to that Academy in the future? Maybe I should ask them to help you. They seem very responsible."
"Stop it! You're embarrassing me!!"
With the fusion of the two individualistic aurae, even nearby Platinum-tier adventurers could not help but marvel with curiosity in their eyes.
"Look at that blade — the quality and design must have cost a fortune."
"I've never seen a sword as intricate as that one since our joint quest with the Master-tiers. You think he earned it or a congratulatory gift from his family?"
"It's most likely the latter, but the way he looks tells me otherwise..."
Another group of beginning adventurers whispered amongst themselves.
"Do you think they're part of the Adventurer's Guild?"
"I wouldn't be surprised. There are Temple Academy students that do adventuring part-time."
"Then maybe I should try and recruit the both of them."
"Stop! Don't do it, man. Just look at the emblems on that girl's chest. There's no way someone of that level will join our team."
Nearly everyone in the plaza looked in awe, their eyes were drawn to the duo. Maybe it was because they had witnessed a Four-Attribute Magic user in the flesh. Perhaps it was absolutely fascinating to see a Temple Academy mage carrying a blade. Or it was a certain type of charisma they both exhibited — a compelling charm that could inspire devotion in others.
Whatever it was, they were perpetually captivating.
The onlookers watched the pair gradually vanished into the distance
A few had a hunch that they were destined to be legendary.
♦ ♦ ♦
Onii and Amae ambled inside Temple Academy, glancing around and admiring their new home for the next five years. The entrance was arched in alabaster, one of the most expensive and sturdiest stones in the world. It felt like they entered into a medieval world, suffused with a magnificent and regal feel.
"This school is absolutely beautiful!" Amae exclaimed in awe.
"As expected of a prestigious academy, it's so well-guarded and maintained," Onii commented, noticing the security surrounding the outer perimeter.
"I can't wait to explore around later. Will you come with me after class?"
"Of course."
The siblings felt the air change as they strolled down the main pathway. The nearby campus guards took an extra glance at the sheathed weapon resting beside Onii's waistband.
"Wait inside until everyone is gathered." One of the head guards instructed as he took their luggage. "Your belongings will be inside your dormitory, which will be further discussed during class with your homeroom instructor."
As the two continued, there were casual conversations across the vast lawn and courtyard, with wooden benches and circular-shaped tables lined parallel to the main entrance. Most were already occupied with students who arrived earlier.
"I heard there's a convenience store on campus!" Amae exclaimed in excitement. "I can't wait to try all the bentos there."
"Make sure you don't eat it every day. It's not that healthy for you."
"Fineeeeee~"
The siblings could hear a few male students shamelessly complimenting how gorgeous Amae was and wondered if she had a boyfriend. But most onlookers immediately discerned the primary feature between them: their outfits.
Prior to enrollment, every student knew about the discrimination and was expected to accept it as part of the school's tradition. In fact, Temple Academy enforces the differentiation, stating that the university represented themselves similar to a military-grade academy.
As a result, the presenting students waiting inside seemed to be associating themselves with only similar rankings.
Seeing a Potential and Regular casually chatting together, shoulder to shoulder, and smiling fondly immediately sparked conversation. Honestly, Onii and Amae could care less about the traditions.
The two decided to rest near a fountain to pass time. A sculpted dragon stood prominently in the center of the crossroad, flowing water continuously from its jaws and down into shimmering ripples.
Dragons were the strongest monster one could encounter in this world. They boasted great physical attack and defense power, boundless stamina and wielded numerous spells.
Therefore, Temple Academy's mascot was a Dragon. A reminder that only the best of the elites were accepted. The quota for first-years was around two hundred out of ten-thousands. Then the admitted were split into halves by their school uniforms and divided by respective magic potential.
"Amae," Onii scanned around for a few seconds and then placed his hand on her shoulder. Compared to his unruly vibe, his voice brimmed with confidence, "I love you."
Most of the guys eyeing her earlier gritted their teeth. Some girls in gold-trimmed uniforms, sitting nearby, yelped collectively to themselves, probably loving a new romantic couple that they could gossip about throughout the school year. While a few boys hoped it was a confession, it seemed quite impossible based on how intimate the two were.
Amae's cheek slightly blushed into a tomato-red.
"I love you too..."
Many hearts popped like balloons as the boys let out a sigh of defeat. But the last part of her sentence halted them in their track. In fact, it surprised everyone who was listening.
"...big brother."
Rays of possibility rekindled but many were still dumbstruck from their interactions. Based on their delicate tone and close proximity, they appeared more like lovers. No, they should be. Yet, here they were, stating that they were siblings.
"You can call me by my name here."
"Onii..." She nodded and shook her head with a frown, "No, it's not the same. I rather not call you that name."
A few other students joined in, interested in what the commotion was. It was obvious to Amae and Onii that they were being watched by dozens of people. They did not care for the attention since this was quite common for many places they went; they were used to it.
"Alright, little sister." Onii gently patted Amae's head. "You can keep it the same as always."
A glistening look appeared on her face. It was an expression of pure happiness. The corner of her mouth was twitching and she was desperately trying not to let her expression change. But even an idiot can tell that she was absolutely overjoyed.
"Thank you, big brother. I was afraid I won't be able to call you that anymore. Calling you Onii just felt weird. It felt like we aren't close anymore."
Onii laughed, "You can call me anything you want. As long as you're happy with it."
"Understood, big brother!" Amae's rosy-pink lips blossomed into a beaming grin. One could not help but feel affected by the contagious smile. "And about what happened last night, I want to make it up to you."
"What do you mean?"
"You know what happened," Amae's eyes glanced back and forth in a demure manner. "It's embarrassing for me to say it out loud here right now..."
Curiosity filled the atmosphere. The same girls whispered amongst themselves, wondering what happened and then shrieked happily at something that was probably overly exaggerated.
"Oh about that, it's not a big deal. You can treat me to the skewers next to Adventurer's Guild when school's over. It smelled delicious when we walked by."
"Are you sure? Don't you want more than just food?"
"Food is more than enough when it's from you."
Amae beamed from the compliment.
"You know you can ask for more than that — I like it when you are selfish in times like this."
"Then how about..." Onii pondered for a bit then grinned devilishly, "Let's go to a love hotel and have some fun afterward."
A wave of surprise and shock swept the crowd, wondering how Amae planned to respond to her older brother's suggestive advances.
In stark contrast to an utter rejection and creeped-out expression, Amae spun around gracefully and leaned backward, collapsing directly onto her brother. He caught her swiftly by the arms, almost as if he had done this countless times before.
Amae tilted her head, resting her face on his chest.
"If that is what you want big brother, then I shall prepare myself for you."
The crowd was beyond wild at this point, many had widened eyes and opened jaws. Imaginations darted across in all different directions.
"Little sister, you should know that some people here do not know that we are joking," Onii glanced around, smirking at those who fell for it.
"Well, it's their fault for taking what we say too seriously," Amae smiled playfully then leaped back to her original position. "But then again, I suppose I may have gone a bit too far... Or did I?"
Just then, several guards yelled repeatedly across the courtyard.
"Potentials, go left. Regulars, go right. It's time for the First Year Orientation!"
The crowd quickly dissipated but a few remained, curious how the two would say their goodbyes.
"See you later, big brother."
"Have fun in class, little sister."
There seemed to be a disappointment at how the two departed so casually with a quick hug. But to the siblings, several hours apart was not too bad.
After all, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
But the truth was that Onii wanted his sister to interact with other students.
Normally, when Amae's alone, her physical beauty would automatically attract a swarm of people. It was both a blessing and a curse. Since Onii appeared like a stern big brother, sometimes mistaken as her boyfriend, he was a natural repellent when they were together.
I hope she will be okay.
The guys earlier were Potentials. I hope they aren't in her class.
Onii let out a deep sigh, thinking how it was quite tiring that Amae was hit on so easily. The protective side in him wanted to be there when it happens in class. But another part of him felt like he was overthinking too much and that he should back off and let her enjoy the school life experience.
After all, a little sister's happiness was the most precious thing in the world.
Remember — your little sister will be okay on her own.
Don't be so overprotective. Just focus on yourself.
As he predicted, his little sister was instantly greeted by a group of girls from earlier as she walked away. Gradually, many of the Potentials flocked around her like eager fans, wanting to introduce themselves.
"Hey, hey, is that really your brother?"
"Wow, you're such a great actor! Why did you decide to prank us?"
"You two must be really close! I would totally feel grossed out if my brother ever said those things to me."
"What class are you in?"
Onii silently smiled to himself at his social butterfly of a sister. He prayed with all his heart that Amae would enjoy her school life, filled with good friends and cherished memories. After all, it has always been her dream to experience a normal school life.
For himself, the thought of having that similar experience sounded pleasant but he did not care too much for it. A sister was all he needed. And as assigned by the Elite Fives, his main priority was to uncover Temple Academy's secrets, with Amae investigating in the Potential side and him on the Regular.
Onii drifted off into a pensive state. But, little did he know that by the end of the day, his name would be infamously known to all of the students.
