Akane Koizumi had no idea what Yuu Hoshimiya's true motives were. One moment she was lamenting the loss of such a talented potential disciple; the next, she heard him formally requesting to become her student.
Stunned by his sudden shift, she quickly recovered, her eyes sparkling with delight. "You are truly willing to be my disciple?"
"Of course," Yuu said frankly. "Given the chance to become a magician, I doubt anyone would refuse."
His goal in seeking her out was to learn magic. Now that the little witch wanted to teach him, it was a match made in heaven. He wasn't about to let a little scuffle ruin such an opportunity. One wanted to learn, the other loved to teach—it was a perfect mutual pursuit. They reached an agreement immediately and began the formal initiation.
As the orthodox successor of Red Magic, Akane had a specific process. It wasn't about bowing or kowtowing; it involved understanding the lineage and signing a magical contract—essentially branding Yuu with the mark of the Red Magic sect. Usually, magic was passed down through bloodlines, but in this era of fading supernatural power, the Red Magic line had dwindled to just Akane. She couldn't afford to pass up a genius like Yuu, even if he wasn't kin.
Once Yuu was formally initiated, Akane spared no effort. She began teaching him everything, even putting aside her shower. Because she was still not wearing underwear beneath her school uniform, Yuu found it incredibly difficult to concentrate. Her figure was too good; the thin fabric of the uniform clung to her curves, revealing the enticing outlines of her nipples and the shadows of her body with every movement.
Whether she didn't care because he had already seen her naked or because she was simply that dedicated to her craft, Akane was completely immersed in the teaching. Thus, by the second day of knowing her, Yuu officially began his journey as a magician.
By day at school, Yuu was the teacher, instructing Akane on human anatomy and the intricacies of physical education. By night at the villa, Akane was the master, teaching Yuu how to refine mana, manipulate energy, and weave spells.
According to Akane, the world had faced a cataclysmic crisis a few years prior. The strongest individuals back then possessed enough power to shatter the earth. A high school student trained in kendo, along with his companions and a legendary sword, had saved the world. However, since then, supernatural energy had plummeted, leaving magic nearly extinct. (This refers to Yaiba in the same universe).
Due to her age, Akane hadn't reached her peak, but she was still among the elite. If she hadn't met a "warrior" like Yuu who was immune to mental magic and forced her into close combat, she would have been an untouchable threat. To compensate for the fading mana in the world, each sect had its own "Binding Vow." The Red Magic restriction was that a witch must never cry; if she did, her magic would vanish. Conversely, by maintaining this stoic restriction, her power was vastly amplified.
Yuu, as an inheritor of Red Magic, theoretically had this restriction, but he soon discovered that neither the restriction nor the amplification applied to him. His mana came directly from his high Spirit stat rather than the traditional cultivation methods. Akane couldn't explain it, and they eventually let it drop. In this twilight age of magic, she was more of a practitioner than a theoretician anyway.
Yuu's progress was meteoric. His mana grew exponentially, and he mastered spells with shocking speed, though his theoretical knowledge remained at zero. He didn't care; as long as he could turn his Soul and Spirit into raw combat power, he was satisfied. With the A-drug and Vermouth's immortality, he had all the time in the world to study later.
Because he hadn't contracted Akane yet, he kept his teleportation a secret, visiting her for four hours every day after school. Around 10:00 PM, after Ran and the others went to bed, he would teleport to the Miyano sisters to build rapport with the little loli. His only free time was during the day at Ekoda High. Fortunately, being a health teacher was a low-effort job.
One afternoon, while idling in his office, Yuu received an email from Tomoko Suzuki. It was the investigation report on Maya Tachibana. He hadn't forgotten the elite "Big Sister" hitwoman. He had already installed her as the head of the Suzuki family's security, and the background check was finally complete.
Name: Maya Tachibana Age: 28 Measurements: 100cm / 64cm / 92cm Bio: Orphan, natural physical talent, became an assassin for the quick money...
"Tsk, a top-tier ride indeed," Yuu muttered, staring at those measurements. "A true explosive-chest, thick-thigh, slim-waist combo."
The report showed no obvious weaknesses to exploit. So, Yuu decided to throw a "direct ball." At twenty-eight, Maya was likely at an age where she craved a man. With his looks, stamina, and "substantial capital," he was the ideal partner. Plus, a job with the Suzukis was far better than being a hunted killer. If she refused, he'd just use force; he didn't feel the need to be overly chivalrous with a blood-stained assassin.
Later that day at the Suzuki estate, Yuu found himself alone with Maya. Through a mix of logic and charm, the sexy assassin thought it over and agreed to his "requirements." She was smart enough to know a good deal when she saw one.
"Let's get started. I have things to do later," Yuu said. He had three hours before he had to be at Akane's for magic lessons. Maya rolled her eyes but began to strip.
She was dressed in tight blue jeans and a white hoodie that strained against her massive 100cm bust. The simple outfit only highlighted her raw, curvaceous power. As she shed her clothes, revealing her fire-hot body, Yuu felt his pulse quicken.
"Maya, you're incredibly sexy," Yuu praised.
She blushed. It was her first time being complimented like that by a powerful man she actually respected. Yuu took her hand and pulled her close, his other hand cupping her cheek. The assassin, never having been this close to a man, tensed up. Yuu leaned in and claimed her lips in a soft kiss.
She gasped, holding her breath until she adjusted. Yuu repeated the action, his kisses becoming more persistent and deep. His hand wandered down her denim-clad thighs, feeling the firm, warm muscle beneath. Maya tried to block him, but he caught her small hand and forced her to feel her own body along with him.
His breath hit her ear, making her shudder. Yuu turned her face toward him, his eyes burning with raw lust. He didn't give her a chance to be shy. He dove in, capturing her lips in a fierce, long-lasting deep kiss.
Maya's eyes widened, her long lashes fluttering. Her first kiss was being stolen by this dominant man. Though she felt overwhelmed, she also felt a sense of relief. If he had left it to her, she wouldn't have known what to do. She began to melt into the kiss, her hands gripping his arms as she clumsily tried to respond. Every time his tongue flicked against hers, she let out a muffled whimper.
Yuu eventually pulled back to let her catch her breath. He buried his face in the crook of her neck, kissing her soft skin and earlobes while pulling her lush body tightly against his chest. Maya's breathing was ragged, her mouth hanging open in a daze.
"Boss..." she whispered, looking up at his smiling face.
Yuu dove back in for another kiss. This time, his hand snuck under her hoodie, finding the massive weight of her breasts and kneading the heavy globes firmly.
"Ah! No..." she gasped as he tweaked her sensitive nipples. The sudden jolt of electricity made her struggle instinctively.
"Maya, don't forget our agreement," Yuu whispered, his voice low and commanding, as his other hand ground against her crotch over her jeans.
Hearing his voice, Maya's resistance crumbled. She began to relax, her body opening up to his touch as she prepared to let the "Boss" take everything she had.
