The Strongest Student of the Weakest Academy - Chapter 342

Chapter 342: The Beginning Of The End [IV]

Swoosh…

The Domain of Silence slowly broke apart like glass, fading into thin mist until the world around Aestrea returned to normal.

He stood still for a moment, scanning the area carefully before starting toward the next section.

But just as he was about to take another step…

“Oh my~, look who do we have~ here?”

His steps froze.

That voice was too sweet, too familiar.

Aestrea’s brow twitched, but he didn’t turn around yet.

‘…Fuck, I thought my senses were already pretty heightened… but she somehow even escaped them?!’ Aestrea was a little shocked.

To be honest, Aestrea hadn’t EVER heard of Selindra in all of his reincarnations. She probably died early or didn’t get strong enough to be someone worth remembering.

Besides, Aestrea knew why Selindra was so damn interested in him. She’s the Goddess of Lust, and because of that, she gets stronger by seducing people.

In simpler terms, by having sex, she can get stronger; it’s as easy as that.

“I didn’t expect to see you sneaking into the Seraphic Division’s base…” she purred, voice dripping with playfulness.

Before he could react, she stepped closer, her body brushing against his back. Two soft mounds pressed against him, her breath warm against his neck.

“Aestrea~… ahaha~” she whispered, her tone dancing between a moan and a laugh as her lips hovered near his ear.

Aestrea’s eyes narrowed.

‘Now.’

He moved in an instant.

He spun around, grabbing both her wrists and twisting them behind her back in one smooth motion.

“Ahn~”

Surprisingly, her reaction wasn’t of pain, but pleasure.

A faint moan escaped her lips, her body trembling slightly against his hold.

Aestrea blinked, caught off guard for a split second as she looked up at him with a sly, breathless smile.

“Getting rough, are we~?”

She twisted her neck, hair spilling over one shoulder, and flashed him a flirtatious smile. Her lips parted just enough to show the pink tip of her tongue.

Then, she slowly dragged it across her lower lip, leaving it glossy and wet.

At this, his eyes turned colder as he increased the strength of his grip, but somehow, an even louder moan came, causing him to seal her mouth with his right hand, while holding her locked wrists with his left.

“Haaa—!” she gasped, her eyes widening briefly before that same wicked smile curved her lips again.

“So strong~.”

A vein popped in Aestrea’s forehead at her teasing attempts, but he still had underestimated her.

“Ah~, slick!♡~”

Her tongue slipped out of her mouth and curled around his middle finger, tracing the ridge of his knuckle, sucking lightly, tasting his skin.

That made him careless, and in that split second of distraction, she twisted her weight, pulling forward and swinging her leg upward in a high arc aimed straight for his head.

SWOOSH!

Aestrea reacted instantly, raising his left arm to block. Her heel met the back of his forearm with a dull thud, the impact sending a shock through the air.

He slid a step back, boots scraping against the stone floor, but his balance never broke.

“Tsk…” Aestrea clicked his tongue in annoyance.

Selindra lowered her leg slowly, smiling with satisfaction.

“Mmm~ you caught that easily. Maybe you’ll last more than I thought you would~,” her golden eyes glowed lightly.

‘…Scan.’

[Target: Selindra, The Goddess of Lust]

[Race: Succubus Queen]

[Rank: 6✯ True God (2%)]

[Authorities: Lust]

[Favorability: 90 (She has a borderline obsession with you somehow.)]

[Loyalty: 100 (Strangely, she won’t betray you if you make some sort of agreement with her.)]

[Sexual Desire: 100 (My dear, what do you expect from a Goddess of Lust?)]

[Body Count (Extra): 176012]

[Thoughts: Mhm~, he looks so fucking hot with those scary eyes of his~! He really is different from the others~.]

As soon as Aestrea saw her status, he frowned deeply at how high her affection towards him actually was.

“So serious, Aestrea~. It makes me want to ruin that calm face of yours,” she teased, her golden eyes glowing faintly as she studied him from head to toe.

“But we wouldn’t want anyone interrupting our little moment, don’t you think?”

She snapped her fingers.

Fwoosh…

A shimmering dome formed around them, cutting off the outside world.

The sound vanished.

The air inside thickened, almost humid, carrying a sweet scent that made it hard to breathe.

‘…Does she want to trap me?’ his eyes narrowed slighly.

Fwoop!

Selindra didn’t wait as she shot towards Aestrea, with her open palm aimed straight for his chest.

Aestrea shifted to block, but her attack changed mid-motion.

Her body twisted around him, her back brushing his front, her head tilting until her lips nearly touched his ear.

“You’re so tense, dear~” she whispered.

“Let me help you with that~.”

Aestrea moved instantly, throwing his elbow back. She spun away with a small laugh, her hair brushing his shoulder as she dodged.

But just as quickly, she reappeared beside him, her fingers sliding over his arm before he could pull away.

“Your skin feels cold… like metal,” she murmured.

He didn’t reply, but before he could do anything else, she had already swung her leg at his lower body.

SWOOSH!

Aestrea jumped over it, but she was already moving again.

They clashed midair, her leg hooking around his thigh, pulling him close to her. Their bodies collided hard, her breath brushing his neck.

“Haah… For someone who hates this, you sure let me get close,” she said softly, giving Aestrea that fucking wicked smile of hers.

Aestrea’s only response was a burst of mana from his hand. A bright spark flared, aimed right at her stomach.

Selindra’s eyes widened.

Yet, instead of dodging, she used his force to spin both of them, twisting their bodies midair.

They crashed to the ground, Aestrea on top, his energy blast burning a hole beside her head.

Pinned under him, she looked up with a sly smile.

“So this is where you want me?” she asked, shifting slightly beneath him. “On my back? You could’ve just asked, you know~.”

‘How the fuck…’

Aestrea was beyond confused at how she was able to predict his movements and make sure they always ended up in a strange pose where he could feel all of her charm.

Rustle~

Her charm rolled through the air like invisible heat, a wave meant to cloud his thoughts, make him lose control.

It was strong enough to drive strong gods insane, but Aestrea felt nothing.

It was a given considering how many lifetimes he had gone through, and how he had met women much more beautiful than Selindra.

So, in his eyes, she was just another opponent.

A dangerous one, yes, but nothing more. Her attempts to move beneath him only made him press down harder, forcing her still.

The calm in his eyes made her flinch.

For the first time, a trace of frustration cracked through her smile.

“Nothing?” she whispered, her voice soft but trembling with disbelief.

“You REALLY don’t feel anything?”

Aestrea’s silence was answer enough.

She clicked his tongue, and then she twisted her hips, sent him off balance, and slipped free.

Before he could regain full footing, her hand brushed along his jawline, her thumb tracing his cheek.

“Then let’s try something else,” she said quietly.

Her body blurred, turning into streaks of pink light before reforming a few meters away.

Fwip!

Just as she reappeared, she shot towards Aestrea, causing him to swing a couple of strikes towards her.

But, her body weaved between his blows, always too close, too smooth.

When he punched, she ducked under his arm, spinning herself right back into his hold, her back pressed to his chest.

“See?” she whispered.

“We move perfectly together.”

Aestrea gritted his teeth at her words. Without hesitation, he leaned forward and then slammed his forehead into the back of her skull.

THUD!

“Ghk!”

Selindra stumbled forward, clutching her head as she winced. For a moment, her golden eyes lost their usual playful spark.

But then… she started laughing.

It began as a small giggle and grew into a breathless, almost feverish sound. Her smile widened again, twisted and hungry.

“Violent!” she gasped out between laughs, her voice shaking with delight.

“I like it!”

“…….”

Finally, Aestrea’s patience reached its limits, and he unsheathed his swords before bending his legs slightly, coiling his body like a spring, ready to use his sword art.

“Hold on!”

Selindra’s hands shot up in surrender, her golden eyes wide, but glinting with mischief.

Aestrea raised an eyebrow.

“I really don’t want to fight you~, only if it’s in bed, of course~,” she teased, winking at him.

He rolled his eyes, irritation flashing across his face.

“Let’s cooperate, okay?” she continued, her tone casual, almost playful.

“I don’t really give a damn about the Seraphic Division or whatever. I just wanted to gather some strong guys to… you know…” Her gaze flicked over him.

“But it seems you already killed my targets…”

Aestrea didn’t reply to Selindra, but he thought that it was a good idea to cooperate with her. He trusted the system, and he trusted that Selindra wouldn’t betray him if they struck a deal.

“Spit it out,” he said finally, crossing his arms.

Selindra laughed softly.

“Alright, alright! I’ll give you the localization of the big boss. And in return…” She looked him over from head to toe, her smirk widening.

Aestrea’s frown deepened.

“…I’m not having sex with you,” he said flatly.

Selindra pouted, but her eyes sparkled with determination.

“Then… a blowjob?” she asked, her tone tentative, but expectant.

Aestrea paused, considering. It still disgusted him, but knowing Selindra, if he didn’t accept the deal, she would instantly expose him.

“…Alright,” he reluctantly nodded.

‘I’ll just avoid her after this,’ he thought grimly.

Selindra clasped her hands together excitedly, practically bouncing in place.

“Alright! Now… let me tell you where he is…”
