Kapitel 41: Settling In

After his showing at the first duel of the year, the rest of Kir's day was extremely tame in comparison.

He ate lunch with Kordia, and nobody tried to sit with them, though some girls cast eyes at him that were curious instead of hostile.

Browsing through the menu was quite a chore, considering it was more like a small book. An entity similar to Host ran the kitchen with many clones of itself, and all a student had to do was request their meal and pay the price, which could range anywhere from a few coppers to a gold strip depending on how rare the ingredients were.

Most students just walked up and asked without even checking the menu.

According to Kordia, there was a real chef available for the administrators, but their kitchen was off-limits. She ordered a "bean jelly" steak, and Kir was surprised when she was presented with what was essentially a block of tofu with grill marks, some rice, and a deep dark sauce that sparked memories in Kir of sushi and don bowls. The whole thing cost her a copper strip, and Kir wondered if she was still being frugal or just liked the dish.

Kir was more than a little hungry after his match, so he ordered a salad with fried boar meat, paid a silver strip and three copper coins, and brought his meal to the table along with the menu.

After a few futile minutes, Kir decided to just browse the drinks section, which was surprisingly thin. A smile crossed his face as he realized that there were some items that simply didn't exist (yet), and none of the drinks on the menu had any particular properties except for the wide variety of medicinal teas.

Nothing on the menu was designed to keep people awake, and that's where Kir saw his opportunity as he closed the menu.

"You uh... must really like food..." Kordia said awkwardly, already halfway through her dish.

Kir started to mix his salad, "I was just exploring my options... And I'd like to try things that are different from what I had at home." His first bite of the crispy, breaded boar meat with the salad greens was heaven, even more so because of the balsamic vinaigrette.

From there, they talked a bit about classes. All the second years had to take the same three courses - four in the case of grade skippers like Kir - in magicology, artifact creation, and alchemy. Kir would also be taking a first-year history course since that was his weakest subject during the exam. Normally students had two classes before lunch. Most would wind up with a large block of free time either in the morning or before lunch every other day, but grade skippers wouldn't get that luxury.

Aside from those, students picked up to four classes to fill their afternoons, up to two for each day switching as with the required courses.

Kordia was so thorough that, by the time they got to orientation, Kir was already certain of the classes he wanted to pick by the time they left for their future homeroom together.

Geography and Herbology for after lunch. Monster Studies and Introductory Magic Combatives for mid to late afternoon.

The classrooms looked like something out of lecture halls that Kir remembered from his past. Three large, arced rows of conjoined desks occupied three-quarters of the space, growing smaller toward the bottom which allowed for seating six in the row. Massive windows towered at the back of the classroom, the room being one of four circles made in the main tower's upper floors - Floor 62 to be exact. For morning classes, all students had a homeroom and it was the professors who swapped, since most of the morning classes were required curriculum anyway.

Kordia only had to do Orientation with Kir up to the point of selecting her classes. They were going to have three classes together in the morning quarters - as they were called - and three classes together in the afternoon quarters. The two courses she didn't share with him were History and Magic Combatives.

"I think you'll do well in Magic Combatives," Kordia said as they sat together. "Judging by what you did to the harbor and how you handled yourself today, I think you could probably skip to the Advanced course. Oh, but they only offer that during the winter semester. Everyone's indoors most of the time anyway so the Arena becomes something of a show during those classes."

Her tail wagged, and there was a glint in her eyes that Kir thought was either excitement over being together in class or the thought of earning money on Kir in the arena.

It turned out to be neither.

"But..." Kordia blushed a bit "...I'm glad you'll be in the introductory course... Would it be alright... if I asked you... to look after my boyfriend?"

Kir felt as if his mind had just turned to shattering glass.

Boyfriend?! Why hadn't she mentioned this before? He blushed red from pure embarrassment. Had he been played, or was Kordia just shy and nice with everyone? He swore he could hear Stella cackling at him from above...

"S-sure..." Kir said, suddenly having to clear his throat to get his mind on track. The sound of Stella cackling in his head didn't stop, but it did seem to reduce to a suppressed chuckle.

Realizing that it wasn't just his imagination, Kir surprised himself by looking up and over Kordia's head and directly at Stella, who was hiding in the rafters of the classroom as a bat. He glared at her and the sound of suppressed laughter in his head got louder.

"Is something wrong?" Kordia asked, following his gaze. "Oh! It's your familiar."

Kir cleared his throat again. "Yeah, I don't really know what to do with her," Kir replied. "Maybe I should get a cage for her after all..."

"I know some third-years keep their familiars together on the same floor... Oh but we're not supposed to have familiars until then... maybe you could get a letter of exception?" Kordia's tail wagged as she made the suggestion.

Kir was discovering that clearing his throat was becoming a bit of a nervous habit. "I'll ask our homeroom teacher about it..." He sighed, deciding to work his way out of his attraction to Kordia while the wound was still fresh. "So... who's this boyfriend you want me to look after?" Kir bit his lower lip as he waited on her response. At least he might still have a chance with...

"Hi, Rain!" Kordia said. As if on cue, a big, hunky shadow appeared over them both, and Kordia's tail wagging increased.

Kir turned and looked up, his face going back to completely red.

"Heya sweet bean... sorry I'm late. Got a bit caught up in the shower..." Rain, Kir's roommate, looked at Kordia with love in his eyes.

In Kir's head, Stella burst out laughing once more.

Kapitel 42: Succubus Tales

Stella kept laughing at Kir all throughout his orientation to the Fire Tower. And the Earth Tower. She even showed up in the bathroom when, at the beginning of the Water Tower tour, he went to try to clear his head, flying in as soon as someone left and landing on the door to his stall.

Kir was sitting on the lid of the toilet. He didn't actually need to go, he just needed someplace quiet. He lost that when Stella arrived.

"Oh gods! I can't believe it... you had the hots for a couple and you didn't know!" she bawled, pointing at him with her little bat claw before beating a tiny set of taps into the top of the door as she continued to cackle.

"Get down here!" Kir ordered, and suddenly Stella was standing up before flying down to him. He caught her midair and held her in one hand. She squeaked as she was grasped, but then burst out laughing again. "Did you know about this? Stop laughing!"

Stella immediately went to something between a chortle and a chuckle. "Yes! I figured it out before your big duel." She said between the chuckles. "I also got some useful intel on those boys that challenged you."

"How did you find out?" Kir asked. "What do you know?"

"Much as I enjoyed getting squeezed by you, it would be much easier for me to talk if you let go." Stella replied.

As soon as Kir let go, she turned into her succubus form, looking exactly the same as earlier that morning.

"Okay," she began her tale, "So there I was, flying out after you told me to 'get lost,' and I think to myself, 'Stella! Where's a good place to feed on some errant lust without causing trouble like the boss said?' And then I remembered the secret library that the second-year girls were all talking about while you were busy blowing up the harbor." She gesticulated as she talked. "So I follow this purple-haired girl, because I kinda got this thing about secondary colors being good luck for me, like, especially orange but I really like purple and-"

"Stella, stay focused please," Kir interrupted.

"Right! So anyway, I land on the bookshelf, and the girl walks up to that foxy totsy you were crushing on, and she's all 'Hey, Kordia, I just got my book back from the first year circle, is it alright if you read it and tell me how realistic Rain is?'

And Kordia was all 'No problem! I didn't know you were into him.' And then she was all 'Almost all the girls are... there's a lot of jealousy over the fact he asked you out...'

And then Kordia was all 'I don't know how it happened either, I mean... I pretty much tutored him through all of first year, and then we just sort of... clicked...'"

"Is this just going to be gossip?" Kir asked.

"Respect my process! Heaven, you are so impatient with me, I swear..." Stella crossed her arms.

Kir didn't want to order her again, so he sighed. "Alright," he said.

"Right... so... where was I?" Stella asked.

"You were saying something about how Rain and Kordia got together..." Kir filled in.

"Oh yeah!" Stella continued, "So there I was, and I was getting bored because no one was actually reading all the smut in that tiny little room, and then Kordia says, 'Say, um... Harmony... what do you think of the new student? The, um, demonkin...' And her friend was all 'Him? He's scary. Like... the way he always looks angry...'"

"I don't always look angry!" Kir protested.

"Eh, people just assume that about demonkin. Comes with the territory... although..." Stella put her hands on Kir's knees, "I could show you a few things to relax if-"

"Please continue the story."

"Fine... sheesh... So Kordia was all 'Oh no, he's not scary when you get to know him,' and her friend was like 'You got to know him? What's he like? I was thinking of writing a book with him. Do you think he's secretly a bottom?'"

Kir facepalmed. "Just... please skip to the part about my challengers... I don't want to hear this..."

"Are you sure? It gets real juicy when-"

"I'm sure!" Kir raised his voice, causing it to crack.

Stella sighed. "You are the worst audience I've ever had. And I used to talk to the customers in Corlwin's shop." She stepped back and cracked her knuckles, "So yeah, while I was getting some residual mana off the two bookworms, some girl bursts in saying there's a duel and that you were being challenged by 'Jabs' or something. I followed them out and decided to take the stairs, and wouldn't you know it, I saw those boys you fought waiting at an elevator with one of the professors.

They was all worried but he gave them each some kind of potion 'for courage' and told them that if they got into trouble they should just use the spell he taught them. Said it didn't matter if they won or lost as long as they made you overreact." Stella tapped a foot. "Then they went up the elevator and I booked it quick to watch you whip their asses."

Just when Kir thought Stella was through, she added, "And you got stuck between the happy couple!" She started laughing. "I mean, you're blocking me hard but gods damn! That almost made all this frustration worth it!"

Kir sighed. "Alright, Stella, thank you for telling me all this... I suppose that deserves some kind of reward?"

Stella reined in her own laughter enough to raise a quizzical eyebrow. "Finally ready to pop that cherry?" she asked.

"No," Kir said flatly. "I was just thinking maybe I should pay you a fair wage or something... knowing a teacher's got it out for me helps, even if you didn't catch a name."

"A wage? What am I supposed to do with money? I can't eat that," Stella said. "I need mana. The lustier the better."

"How does that even work?" Kir asked.

"I don't know, people just leak the stuff. I can absorb the good stuff just by being around it." Stella replied.

"So lust... attunes mana?" Kir asked.

"I guess. Manavores like you and me have our ways of eating it... and you know, if you attune deeper with me, I think you can eventually learn to do it yourself... It sure would beat eating rocks..."

"So if I wanted to reward you, couldn't I just give you mana?" Kir asked.

"I mean... I'll take it... but it would really be a reward if you gave it to me in a kiss..." she said in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Alright," Kir finally relented.

"Yeah, yeah, I get it. No kissing the help- Wait what?"

"I'll give you a kiss for doing a good job," Kir said, gathering mana in his lips as he spoke.

Stella looked ready to cry. "At long last..." She fluttered up to eye height with Kir, who stepped forward, bracing one hand against the stall on the side of her as she lowered herself just a little to let him loom. She licked her lips and closed her eyes...

Kir kissed her on the forehead, right between the horns, feeling a slight pull as his mana entered her, though it felt as if some of it didn't make it.

Stella, nevertheless, shivered with the sensation, and as Kir stepped back, he saw her grow just a little. "Ohh... that was so good... But why do I suddenly feel less horny?"

"Maybe it's because you had a growth spurt?" Kir guessed.

"Yeah... maybe that's it..." Stella touched her forehead and let herself land.

"You're a good friend, Stella, but I want my first time to be special... that goes for first kisses too." He edged around her and opened the bathroom stall. "Take the rest of the day off," he said as he departed.

 

"I thought our first kiss was special..." Stella murmured to herself as soon as she was alone.
