[Welcome back, player.]
The system's voice sounded calm and familiar inside his head.
[Loading world…]
The same darkness as before barely lasted a few seconds before everything began to materialize around him.
Lyan blinked a couple of times only to realize that this time he wasn't in the classroom, but outside.
More precisely, on the academy field, a large flattened area of short grass with marked lines on the ground and hoops on the sides.
The sky above him was completely clear, with the sun shining directly overhead.
Around him, his classmates were already there.
Some were stretching in small groups while others simply talked among themselves, laughing at their own jokes.
Everyone was wearing physical education clothes, which were much lighter than the usual uniform.
And that was… noticeable.
Especially for the girls, since they wore shorts that clung perfectly to their backsides and thighs.
With every movement they made while stretching or walking, their chests and hips adjusted tightly, clearly showing their shape without any filter.
Lyan found himself staring at the whole scene without realizing it.
It was just instinctive, typical of men, his eyes simply landed on something he liked a lot and stayed there.
Classmates who normally went unnoticed under the uniform were clearly much more… noticeable in their gym clothes.
"Nice view?"
A voice sounded from his left, calm, with a clearly teasing tone.
Lyan nodded automatically before turning toward the voice, only to see Sera standing beside him.
With her arms crossed and a playful but noticeably forced smile on her face, something Lyan didn't notice.
She was also wearing the gym outfit, which suited her quite well, not to mention much sexier than the others.
Though that was something Lyan chose not to think about too much at that moment.
She was looking exactly where he had been looking.
"Yeah." He answered unconsciously before realizing the mistake he had just made.
"Ah!" he flinched slightly, turning fully toward her. "Since when have you been there?"
Sera just laughed at his reaction.
"I just got here…" she said, shrugging lightly, still smiling. Then she tilted her head slightly and looked at him with a dark, amused glint in her eyes. "Don't you have enough with me to be looking at the others?"
As Sera said this, she placed a hand on her own chest naturally and turned her body slightly to the side, just enough for her backside to be visible for a moment.
Without any shame. Completely as a joke.
Lyan felt the heat rise to his face as he didn't take his eyes off her body.
He could only laugh nervously while scratching the back of his neck, looking away for a second.
"That's not it… you just caught me at a bad time."
Sera looked at him for a moment longer before letting out another soft laugh, returning to her previous position.
"Of course…"
- - - -
What came next was the class itself, and Lyan quickly discovered that the game wasn't going to give him any shortcut to skip it.
Just like with the physics class on the first day, there was no button to skip the cutscene.
Nothing.
Just him, the afternoon sun, and forty minutes of activity that left him completely exhausted.
Now he was lying on his back on the grass, looking at the sky with his arms spread out at his sides.
Breathing heavily, with his shirt completely stuck to his body from sweat.
'S-So fucking hot…'
He thought without moving, feeling the glare of the sun hitting his face.
But well, he couldn't deny that the last twenty minutes had their moments. At some point during class, Reid had appeared beside him to complain quietly about the teacher with amusement in his tone, and Lyan had laughed more than once without being able to help it.
It was strange, even being an NPC, being around him felt comfortable.
No pressure, and no need to think too much about how to speak or what to say.
He could just act naturally, simply being himself…
Lyan tilted his head slightly to the side, looking for Reid among the other students, spotting him fairly quickly.
He was kneeling in front of a trash can near the side wall, with his hands resting on the edges and his body bent forward in a posture that didn't leave much to the imagination.
Lyan let out a small laugh before looking back at the sky.
'I like that guy.'
Right at that moment, the sun shining directly on his face suddenly disappeared.
Something blocked it from above.
Making Lyan frown slightly as he looked up, only to be met with a completely different view than the clear sky from a few seconds ago.
A pair of huge breasts covered almost his entire field of vision from that angle, clearly outlined by the white shirt clinging to them from sweat, even showing the nipples.
'She's not wearing a bra…' he thought, staring at them closely.
Then that figure leaned a bit closer toward him, revealing Sera's face, looking down at him with an amused smile.
"You look terrible." she commented playfully.
Lyan held her gaze for a moment before smiling.
"And you? Didn't the class affect you at all?"
Sera looked at him for a moment, as if evaluating whether the question deserved a serious answer or not.
"I'm used to exercising," she finally said, shrugging slightly, brushing off the matter.
Lyan stayed silent, subtly glancing at her thighs, then her… chest.
He couldn't deny she had a good figure, which made it clear that her last comment was true.
"I'm going to help you stretch." Sera said in the same calm tone as before, walking toward Lyan's legs.
He frowned slightly. "What do you mean by—"
He didn't finish the question when Sera grabbed his right leg by the ankle, lifting it upward.
Bending it at an angle where Lyan immediately felt the tension in the back of his thigh.
Then Sera positioned herself on the ground, kneeling, resting her body over the raised leg, with her stomach and chest against it, while her hands began to move along the muscle from the calf upward, inch by inch, massaging every part.
Lyan froze completely.
Her hands were warm and soft, every movement she made released a tension he didn't even know he had built up. But that wasn't all.
It was the warmth of her body against his leg. The weight of her leaning forward felt comforting in a way.
And Sera's chest, which in that position softly trapped his leg between them, without apparent intention, but with an effect Lyan couldn't completely ignore.
It was very stimulating…
In a way that made Lyan stare at the sky very intently without moving, it could cause him a problem down there and that was the last thing he wanted.
On the other hand, several classmates were watching this with different reactions, some without much interest and others jealous, mostly the men. And the women… well.
They were talking about the "new couple" forming in the class, but neither Lyan nor Sera paid any attention to those comments.
Sera, seeing how nervous Lyan was, showed a wide smile as her eyes narrowed slightly, subtly moving her hips, pressing her intimate area lightly against the boy's leg.
'Lyan…'
