Chapter 16 - Chapter 16: Word of Mouth

Rui's pulse quickened at the sight of bare skin, eyes tracing the line of her throat.

He couldn't resist "Here, let me help—" He reached out, fingers brushing her arm, the contact meant to amp the compulsion with a touch.

But Jirou's eyes sharpened, clarity snapping back like a whip crack.

She jerked away, shoving his hand hard enough to make him stumble back on the bed. "What the fuck, Tanaka? Back off! I knew this was a trap! You fucking pervert!" Her voice rose, sharp and accusatory, jacks extending like live wires, one whipping out to snag his ankle and yank.

Rui hit the floor with a thud, more surprised than hurt, and he rolled with it, pushing up to his knees which definitely felt bruised.

Shit. This hasn't happened before when he used compulsion.

Something was definitely wrong!

'System! What the hell was going on!'

[System had repeatedly warned Host to be cautious of this conquest and to exercise the necessary patience to seduce current Target. Characters significant to canon have a much higher chance of overriding host's skill set at it's current level]

[Host has no one to blame but himself for this laspe. Host will just have to figure it out.]

Oh fuck you too bro.

Cursing inwardly, he banished the system interface, gaze going back to the incensed girl.

The system was no use in this situation, the little fucker.

He had to do this himself.

It could potentially ruin everything for him if he failed this mission. He hasn't failed a mission yet and he could only dread how awful erectile dysfunction would be.

Worse still if he failed and jirou reported him.

Regardless of his connections, UA wouldn't accept a hero student with such a glaring misdemeanor on his record,. especially if it was from another Hero student.

If he lost his space in UA, then everything he had done to this point would be worthless.

All his stats, his powers, the women he hadn't conquered yet, all of it, would be gone.

Swallowing, he raised up his hands, trying to show that he was harmless.

"Whoa, easy! I'm not going to hurt you. I was just trying to-"

But before he could finish his statement, she bolted for the door, skirt flaring and Rui poured more energy into his Gentle Compulsion, words laced thick as he yelled.

"Jirou, wait! Don't be too hasty and think about it. I can give you everything you want. All you have to do is let me!"

For a heartbeat, her steps faltered, body swaying as the influence tugged.

But she shook it off with a snarl, jacks lashing out again to trip him as she lunged for the hallway. "Screw you! I'm out!"

Before she could cross the threshold, Mio materialized like a shadow, her reflexes kicking in, hand snapping out to grab Jirou's wrist.

The older woman twisted it with surprising speed, pinning the girl's arms behind her back while her free hand coiled one of Jirou's own jacks around the girl's palm, binding it tight against itself.

The earphone cord knotted securely, rendering the quirk useless for the moment and Jirou thrashed with the shock of it all, cursing under her breath, but Obāchan held firm, her airy demeanor gone and in its place a disturbingly competent pro hero, "Shh, dear. No need to fight it. Rui-kun knows best."

Rui rose, dusting off his pants, a dark gleam in his eyes as he approached the struggling pair.

He whistled, genuinely impressed by Mio when he caught sight of Jirou's bound hands.

Her pro hero skills, rusty as they probably were, seemed to have come quite in handy.

"Good girl, Obāchan! I knew I could count on you. Thank you so much!"

Mio nearly vibrated out of her skin at the praise, shuddering happily.

"I'm always happy to help Rui-kun…" she murmured with a blush high in her cheeks, eyes practically shining, "I would do anything for you…."

Awwww.

He couldn't fight the smile that stretched his lips, stupidly touched despite himself.

"You really are the best," He cupped the older woman's cheek fondly, rewarding her with a quick peck, before turning his gaze on Jirou.

She glared daggers, body twisting in vain against the hold, small frame no match for the older woman's restraint.

"Let me go, you psycho! Fuck! Aren't you supposed to be his grandma?! This is assault—I can have you both arrested!" Jirou spat, but Rui ignored the bluster, stepping close enough to feel her rapid breaths.

"Ah ah… Not if I can help it~" He amped the Gentle Compulsion to full throttle, voice a relentless murmur pressing into her mind.

"I want you to relax for me kyoka, to submit, let the pleasure take over. Your body's craving it!"

Her legs immediately stiffened before they began vibrating , Jirou trying her best to fight against the power of the skill.

"Ah! How are you -" she cut herself off, snarling like a wild animal as she kicked out in struggle at whatever he was doing to her body but Rui kept his hold over her, dark eyes never leaving her face.

Suddenly, the system's chime pinged in his head—a warning overlay flashing

[System Alert! Caution: Excessive Compulsion may cause neural strain to target and Host. Reduce intensity to avoid permanent damage.]

At the system's words, Rui's jaw tightened, but he didn't let up, eyes locked on hers.

Because honestly, fuck the warning, the system didn't help when he did it it's way, so it had no right to question his way of doing things.

Besides there was no way in hell he was giving up now, not when he was so close to conquering her.

Banishing the alert, he pushed his Compulsion harder, a headache blooming above his brow.

"I said submit kyoka!"

The pressure mounted and Jirou's struggles weakened, her curses dissolving into confused whimpers.

Finally , her body went slack in Obāchan's arms, eyelids fluttering as the compulsion rooted deep in her mind.

Slowly, almost involuntarily, her thighs parted beneath the skirt, knees bending in subtle invitation.

'There we go.'

Rui grinned, feral and triumphant, guiding her down to the floor as Obāchan released her with a final squeeze of warning to her arms.
