Chapter 36: Shizuka Hiratsuka's verbal promise

"Ring, ring, ring!"

The class bell rang.

Shizuka Hiratsuka strode to the podium.

"Today we are having the midterm exam. Be prepared."

The exam papers were handed out.

"..."

Rei Ao glanced at the questions on the paper and found the answers with a calm expression.

As expected.

As his level increased.

His physical fitness, mental strength, and logical thinking had all improved greatly.

Questions that once required effort to solve were now instantly clear.

Noticing someone was watching him.

He looked up and met Shizuka Hiratsuka's gaze.

She hoped that this time Rei Ao could break into the top 100.

So she paid extra attention to him.

After meeting her eyes, Rei Ao gave a confident smile, as if to reassure her.

His blue, rainbow-hued eyes paired with that faint smile.

For a moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka was mesmerized.

It was the first time she realized that Rei Ao's aura was like transparent ice crystals.

One could easily get lost in it without realizing.

"!!!"

She bit the tip of her tongue sharply to snap back to her senses.

Recalling her previous state, her face flushed with embarrassment.

'Ugh, what am I doing?'

It was the first time she had been so captivated by her own student.

If her colleagues like Mafuyu found out, she would be laughed at for sure.

But as the saying goes, once it happens, it can happen again and again.

Throughout the entire class, Shizuka Hiratsuka was distracted.

That unforgettable smile kept flashing in her mind.

Every time she glanced at Rei Ao, she felt a deep sense of regret.

She had to admit.

That face, those eyes—they certainly drew her in.

If they were the same age.

Shizuka Hiratsuka thought she might have pursued him out of a fleeting sense of attraction.

But unfortunately… the gap in their status and age was too obvious.

Sigh.

She wondered where, at her age, she could find someone with the same clean and transparent aura as Rei Ao.

A wave of regret washed over her.

She didn't even realize that she had been staring at Rei Ao absentmindedly for a long time.

"Ring, ring, ring!"

The dismissal bell rang, startling her back to reality.

Then she noticed that Rei Ao had already put down his pen and was looking at her with a strange expression.

Her face turned red again.

Afraid that someone might notice her embarrassment.

"Ahem."

She called out, pretending to be serious, and began collecting the test papers.

When she reached Rei Ao.

As she picked up his paper, she heard him whisper in a voice only she could hear: "Shizuka-sensei, it seems like you were staring at me the entire class."

"?!!!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka's legs almost gave way.

She—she was caught!

Forcing herself to stay composed despite her shame, she replied, "That's because the teacher has high hopes for you. I hope you can break into the top 100 this time."

"Hehe, what if I come in first place? What reward will Shizuka-sensei give me?"

Rei Ao's expression was playful.

There was no way he hadn't noticed Shizuka Hiratsuka's gaze.

His instinct told him that this was his opportunity to get closer to her.

Right now, Shizuka Hiratsuka just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. It was too humiliating.

So she gave a casual reply.

"If you really come in first, you can name any reward you want."

Of course.

She didn't believe Rei Ao could take first place.

The gap between the 100th place and the 1st place was enormous.

It wasn't something that could be achieved in just a few months.

For Rei Ao, who was always hovering around the top 100, to suddenly leap to 1st place seemed like pure fantasy.

After saying that, she hurriedly left, almost running away.

Embarrassing herself in front of her student was just too shameful.

Rei Ao watched her lab coat sway as she walked away.

A mischievous smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

"Shizuka-sensei, I'll hold you to that."

...

The exams for the day were over.

Rei Ao didn't feel much about it.

It was too easy, and he found it quite boring.

Though he was looking forward to seeing Shizuka Hiratsuka's shocked expression when she saw him in first place.

And the fulfillment of the promise she made.

But Rei Ao didn't really think that verbal promise would lead to anything significant.

The bunny girl Mai at home was far more enticing.

Naturally, the first thing he did when he got home was look for her.

The table was already set with food.

Since she wasn't in the living room or bathroom, that meant she was in the bedroom.

He headed straight to her bedroom.

Opened the door.

"..."

Mai was indeed there.

But she was in the middle of changing clothes.

Her smooth back.

Black lace lingerie.

Her perfect curves, facing away from him, made Rei Ao's gaze heat up.

Mai hadn't even noticed that Rei Ao had entered.

Suddenly, she felt arms wrap around her from behind.

"Ah!"

It startled her.

She was about to resist when she heard Rei Ao's voice: "Mai, it's me."

Mai immediately stopped struggling.

She glanced back at Rei Ao with a hint of reproach: "Why didn't you say anything? I thought someone else had broken in."

"I couldn't help it. You're so irresistible, Mai. I couldn't bear to disturb you."

Rei Ao gently nuzzled her pale neck, lightly licking it.

Mai's whole body grew warm in response.

"Ugh, what are you doing... I still need to change clothes. Go, go eat your dinner first."

Even though they had done almost everything short of going all the way last night, Mai still couldn't hide her shyness.

She tried to push Rei Ao away, but her body had already gone weak.

Rei Ao chuckled softly and whispered into her ear.

"More than dinner, I'd rather taste you first, just like last night."

"Huh?"

Just as Mai felt the tension on her chest loosen.

"Knock, knock!"

A knock on the door interrupted the intimate moment.

The sultry atmosphere dissipated.

The two exchanged glances, sharing the same confusion.

"Who could it be?"
