Bab 75: One-Night Stand
The Potioneering Tournament carried on for two more days and one night. That had only been the first of many challenges.
Fortunately, the participating acolytes were freely given strength potions so they could endure throughout the entirety of the competition. In Leylin's case, this was not necessary, but he still went along with it and seemed grateful when he took the potion.
Speaking of Leylin, he had kept busy in these past couple of days.
Along with the intensity of the competition, the subjects issued by the academy became more and more difficult. The majority of the participants had been eliminated in the third round since, at the very end, they had moved on to beginner potions which were above elementary and basic formulae.
Throughout these series of tests, Leylin distinguished himself and stormed through the competition without batting an eye. To him, this was hardly a game. As for Merlin, he was struggling with most of the topics, but he eventually pushed to the very end thanks to his knowledge and grit.
As for the contents of the final challenge, it was to brew a Hofdor's Water of Radiance. This was a kind of restorative potion that was able to treat the underlying sickness caused by Negative Energy spells. Amongst the beginner-type potions, it was known to be the hardest to brew.
However, for Leylin, it was a matter of acting skills more than it was of alchemy.
He had allowed Merlin to surpass him near the end of the concoction, only to catch up to him and ultimately finish the potion 5 seconds before him. Needless to say, Leylin's result was leagues above Merlin's, which naturally placed him at the top of the evaluations.
After such a dramatic climax, the crowd was chanting Leylin's name over and over as the Magus judge declared him to be the absolute winner. A group of gray-robed staff members came forth and delivered to him a coffer holding the not-so-disdainable quantity of 500 magic crystals, a rich assortment of ingredients, as well as a most valuable magic artifact similar to the one he had seen in Ellinel Market.
Worth well over 200 crystals, the device was a dagger-like weapon capable of extending the length and width of the blade at the user's will, limited to a certain reasonable degree of course. It was manufactured with some of the best metals available in this part of the continent, and it was sharp enough to cut through his own enchanted armor like it was nothing. Also, it required no maintenance as it was charmed to remain in optimal conditions no matter what.
Leylin was content with these rewards, given that he viewed his golden cross blade as practically useless for the deathmatch. It may be of a beautiful craft and also augmented, but it was still a mortal weapon. In the face of truly battle-ready level 3 acolyte opponents, any tool short of arcane was simply not one that could be relied upon. Alfonse had been an exception given his overconfidence and lack of preparations against Leylin.

Deep in the night, Leylin returned to his dorm and set the prize chest aside.
Regarding the offer he had gotten from that dreadful Magus judge, whose identity was that of a professor by the name of Zaros, Leylin had not accepted. This is because he had already signed a quite advantageous new contract with Kroft prior to registering in the tournament. Leylin had been officially named as his personal apprentice, implying that he was now senior to both Merlin and Bicky.
As for his tangible benefits, Leylin had been given free rein to do as he pleased after the deathmatch, so he would no longer be bound with tedious lab work. Furthermore, Leylin now had full access to Kroft's private laboratory underneath the 'normal' one. It had the latest contraptions and tools any potioneer could dream to have.
Thanks to it, he was now capable of producing several batches of healing potions in time to sell them before the Bloodbath, as the date was fast approaching.
In return for all those benefits, all Kroft asked in return was to receive 5% of all the profits Leylin made with his dispensary from here on out. Considering that Leylin had no long-term plans for staying in Abyssal Bone Forest, he saw this as an opportunity to make as much cash as possible from the Bloodbath crisis.
While deep in thought, Leylin heard a knocking noise outside the door. He begrudgingly got up from bed. Despite his lack of need for rest, he still enjoyed to lay back and spend hours planning ahead of every possible scenario he could think of.
"Who has come to disrupt my sleep at this late hour?" -Leylin was rather unhappy as he opened the door. If it was Nyssa coming to beg for even more of his product, he had already come up with several ways on how to make her suffer.
"It's me..." -Outside the door, there was a girl wrapped in a blue cloak, and her voice sounded coquettish.
"Bicky? Why -"
Before Leylin could finish that sentence, his lips were already sealed. The door closed and the cloak slipped off, revealing an ample yet provocative and naked body.
Not having any second thoughts, Leylin immediately activated his Seductive Aura. With this, he could actually be himself and not worry about his prey being scared away or discerning his true self. It was as if an impenetrable cloud of sheer attractiveness now surrounded him.
He broke the kiss and clutched Bicky's round ass as if he were kneading dough.
"You're so eager to be defiled by me? Don't mind if I do. But then, what about that chimp Fayle? Aren't you supposed to be his girlfriend?" -Leylin casually asked while discarding his robes and undergarments. He did not care about this, but he wanted to amuse himself with Bicky's poor excuse for her lack of fidelity.
"He won't know if we don't tell him. Besides, so long as I'm not married, I have my freedom." -Bicky revealed a coy smile and hurriedly started to lean her body closer to Leylin in between passionate kisses.
Leylin scoffed and then moved the girl around so that her back was turned to him. His hands were on her tits, and his fingers applied enough pressure to leave marks, but not to cause discomfort.
"Very well, time to put that luscious body of yours to good use. Drop on my bed and spread your legs. I'll handle the rest. Also, remember to be a good girl and avoid moaning like a crazy bitch. I despise loud women." -Leylin said coldly, as he forced Bicky to be in all fours, doggy style.
His mighty erection then rubbed Bicky's ass. And then her pink slit.
The green-haired lass apparently ignored the harsh words and attitude, her brain only focusing on the pleasuring sensations. She was drooling slightly, and her eyes looked dim.
"Your pussy is already so wet... You must be a world-class slut, then. I usually refrain from having full vaginal sex with whores, but you've already gotten me this far, so I'm not going back." -Leylin remarked, as he diverted his hands to be on her waist.
Leylin then employed his right hand to spank Bicky a few times, making her eyes go to the back of her head in masochistic pleasure. Forthwith, he positioned his cock to be right at Bicky's opening.
"I... I... I haven't... done... it..." -Bicky's voice cracked, and her legs began to quiver. The aphrodisiac effect of Leylin's magic aura was just that great.
"What an unexpected surprise. You surely know how to make me forget I want to kill you. Albeit momentarily." -Leylin noted with a smile, as he increased the strength on his grip of Bicky's waist.
"I can't... resist the urge... I BEG YOU! TAKE ME NOW!" -Bicky all but cried. Her sanity was blurring with every passing second, and she just thought of her orgasmic release at Leylin's mercy. Even though they had barely even kissed, she was getting closer to the edge just by having his breath on her neck.
"Congratulations, dear Bicky. You have surrendered your virginity to a man who will reject you in the morning. Likewise, I pledge to one day murder you in a violent and sordid manner. Honestly, thinking about that makes me want to fuck you even harder..." -Leylin conveyed with audacity, as he performed a deep penetrating thrust that made Bicky moan with a shrill voice.
She then utterly collapsed in Leylin's bed, as if all the bones in her body were removed.
Watching as a patch of blood had stained his white sheets, Leylin smirked. Then, his expression returned to his usual indifference.
"I told you to keep your voice down. Stupid bitch can't follow simple orders..." -Leylin ripped a piece of cloth from his sheets and placed it forcefully on Bicky's mouth.
"Be that as it may, this isn't about your pleasure, but mine. So I won't stop until I'm satisfied. Oh but you wanted this, didn't you, my slutty junior? After all, it was you who sought me." -Leylin whispered with a sadistic expression.
At this point, his cock had already pounded her multiple times. Bicky was now two seconds away from a cum-induced blackout, so Leylin decided to stop using his alluring powers. He did not want to break her altogether since it would probably get him in unnecessary trouble with the academy.
|=|=|=|=|=|=|=|
The next day, early in the morning.
Looking at Bicky lying in his arms, Leylin's expression was aloof. He pushed her to the side of the bed and then stoop up.
"Bicky, wake up. I have potions to brew in the lab, and as I understand, you have a spell casting lecture to attend in the Academic Hall." -Leylin said as he nonchalantly dressed up in his best robes.
He then left a cup of warm tea on the nightstand.
"Ah?!" -Suddenly, the female body shook and sat upright. Having just woken up and feeling her parched throat, Bicky unconsciously drank from the cup until it was empty.
Her memories were fuzzy, but she knew that she had done the deed with her crush. She did not feel any regret over cheating, and her lower body was numb.
"What time is it?" -She asked.
"Time for you to leave." -Leylin replied without even looking at her.
"Leylin? Why are you so... rude?" -Bicky asked with an indignant voice.
"Because you have overstayed your welcome. Need I throw you out myself?" -Leylin turned to her, and his piercing look caused her love for this youngster to be converted to fear. It was a desolate and cruel gaze that met Bicky's eyes.
The girl tried to say something, but he interrupted her.
"I discovered a pouch in your robes. It contained a few of my high-grade magic crystals. I will forget this if you leave and don't speak of what happened here to anyone. Otherwise, I'll be forced to bring this to the overseer's desk..." -Leylin said in a distraught voice. His face now showed emotion, driving Bicky to doubt herself as to what she had just witnessed.
"I did no such thing! You liar!" -Bicky yelled as her beautiful face twisted in heartache.
"Moreover, I am sure Fayle would be very interested to hear about what we did all night. Entering my room in secret and forcing me to have sex with you... How daring of you." -Leylin said chuckling.
Realization dawned on Bicky. Leylin's prestige was rock-solid and any accusation he made against her would certainly doom her. He was a champion of the academy and expert alchemist, whereas she was just a mediocre level 2 acolyte and potioneer wannabe.
"My generosity is limited, and my offer won't stand for much longer. Go." -Leylin waved his hand, as he sat on a chair and began to put some materials into his satchel.
"People will know that you're not what you pretend to be! Professor Kroft will hear of this!" -Bicky hurriedly left the bed and revealed that exquisite body once again to Leylin.
She quickly did the buttons on her robes, before scurrying out of the room. She did not even bother to close the door.
'Hehehe, what an idiot. Wait till you feel the effects of the amnesiac mixture I gave you... Anyone at the Knight level would already be resistant to it, but alas, you're just a weak and filthy mortal. What good is having magic at the tip of one's fingers if you can be defeated by a standard poison?'
