CHAPTER 68 - A Very Dangerous Girl
After recovering from his injuries, Kei invited Luna to breakfast. "Nothing better than a delicious breakfast after a brutal humiliation," Kei said, quite optimistically, making her laugh.
Kei's friendship with Luna might be the healthiest and truest he currently has. Mio is more like an adventuring partner; their relationship is based solely on training together. And with Nem… Well… They're not friends. Nem only thinks about food, and Kei finds her adorable, but they barely spend time together. The dark elves are scared of her.
And his other relationships? All the women love him romantically, all vying for his heart (and other parts). His book club partner is an exception; she doesn't love him, but she doesn't consider him a friend either. She's 100% focused on her research, uninterested in anything else.
Luna is, possibly, Kei's only true friend, and she knows it perfectly well. That's why she avoids developing deeper feelings for him. She doesn't want to be another member of his harem, which she finds disgusting, but she understands that Kei has no other choice.
"Fufu. You've got a villain's aura. Hahahahaha!" Luna said, elbowing him in the arm.
"Well, maybe I am. You know what I mean."
"Hmm… True, technically you are. A total bad boy. Hehe."
Before, citizens treated Kei "normally" because he asked them to, but now they treat him with far more respect than before, averting their gazes and keeping their distance. The fight between his mother and the Queen left massive destruction around the Capital, and since Kei belongs to the generation of false heroes, his destructive power is equal to, or worse than, theirs. A walking bomb, which is why people prefer to stay away and not take risks.
They went to a cheap restaurant, mainly because Kei wanted to show her something. Luna drew too much attention, but no one dared speak to her because, upon entering the restaurant, Kei said, "We want to eat without interruptions." Coming from a noble, those words terrified the poor commoners, and no one dared speak while he was there.
They sat at a table, and a waiter approached them.
"What would you like to order?" he said, forcing himself to speak properly, though visibly terrified.
They looked at the menu, and Luna was shocked, while a wide smile spread across Kei's face. The surprise worked, and Kei activated a soundproof field to prevent Luna from saying anything that could put him in danger.
"W-wait… Sushi? Nachos? Tacos?! Rice with…?! K-Kei… D-did you…?"
"We'll have 'Suhmeik.' Luna, Suhmeik is basically rice with meat."
"I-I see. I also want some nachos with lots of cheese. Oh, and Ginto wine, please."
"Nachos with Ginto wine? Wow, fancy. I'll have apple juice, please."
"It'll be ready in a few minutes."
The waiter left, and taking advantage of the soundproof field, Kei burst out laughing.
"Hahahahaha! Sorry, sorry! Pfft. Hahahahaha! It's the first time I've heard of nachos paired with expensive wine! Hahahahaha!"
"You should try it; it's delicious, even you'd get addicted. By the way, what did you do here? Did you help them?"
"I missed the taste of home, so I used my influence to share recipes with all the businesses. Tacos and nachos aren't part of our country's cuisine, but I've always been interested in foreign food. Plus, my original mother used to make me tacos once a week."
"I see… I wanted to do the same, but I didn't know how to prepare them. My sister handled the cooking."
"I didn't know how either. I had to create the recipes. Trial and error. Trial and error. It was a long process, and probably only the nachos and tacos taste the same because I didn't modify them. They're pretty simple, really. I can't promise the rest tastes authentic. By the way, no need to whisper; I set up a soundproof field."
"Oh, I forgot."
Kei's skin prickled at hearing that, remembering "that."
"Oh, yeah, I forgot. I wanted to see you again to give you a letter."
He reached under his clothes, pulled a letter from his [Magical Storage], and handed it to Luna.
"Listen. Please don't open the letter yet. When you consider me dangerous, open it, please."
Luna blinked a couple of times, processing what she heard. Kei was already dangerous; the heroes have orders to kill him, so that meant he had to be "dangerous" in an even worse way.
"When I consider you dangerous?"
"For personal reasons, I can't say more. When you and the other heroes think I'm dangerous, open the letter and read it in private… Please, trust me. I'm not a bad person."
Luna wanted to know more, but she knows that the Goddess Fravi can see and hear Kei through her, so she prefers to stay ignorant. Unfortunately, Fravi isn't just crazy and powerful—she's intelligent. She doesn't need much to devise a plan, and Kei gave her just enough to ruin him.
Fravi, observing the situation, grinned ear to ear upon hearing this. He did this because his identity might soon be exposed, wanting to prevent Luna from being manipulated and to keep her trust, but unknowingly, he gave the final boss a new weapon.
"The Supreme God forbade me from intervening, but waiting will be much better. Luna won't handle your betrayal, Kei… Perfect."
Being cautious isn't always good.
After breakfast, Kei said goodbye to Luna. He wanted to spend more time with her, and vice versa, but both had important things to do. Free time is a luxury they don't always have.
"Thanks so much for your help, Luna. If you need me, call me."
"Thanks, Kei. See you."
Luna walked away, and Kei smiled. Happiness? Yes, definitely, but that smile was for another reason too. Satisfaction. The preparations had begun.
"One target down, I've got… ugh, "un chingo" (a ton left)," he thought, as his smile faded.
•
•
School started again. After tough days, going to hell, having sex with a skeleton woman, a nostalgic moment, and defeating Desmolfer's husbands, Kei could finally relax a bit… Or, well, that lasted a few minutes.
"Going back to school feels great," he said, walking through the hallways.
A normal day, for now.
"Kyaaaa!" a girl screamed, caught by tentacles emerging from Kei's shadow.
Is he attacking innocent girls? Actually, it's the opposite. She tried to attack him from behind. An enemy attack? No, just another woman who hates that a man is better than her. At least once a week, a girl tries to attack him from behind, and at least twice a week, he gets challenged. It's not a big deal, since no one has been significant so far.
After setting the girl down and giving her some friendly pats on the head, Kei headed to his classroom.
The girl blushed and touched her head. A new female character unlocked? Absolutely not… Not her, but…
"He defeated me in a second…"
A lovestruck expression. A girl who was supposed to be rebellious, with a strong personality. A girl who didn't need protection, someone powerful. All that power, reputation, and ambition, wasted in a second.
Seeing her in that state made a certain girl walking down the hallway sigh in pity.
"Without even looking at me, without speaking. So…"
"'So cool'? Please, say something else. I'm tired of hearing that word every day," said a small student, stepping in front of her.
A short girl, dwarfism, a little person? Not quite. She's a dwarf, one of the physically strongest races, specialized in crafting armor and weapons. In the adventuring world, they're famous for their great defensive power, being the main tanks.
The blush on her face vanished, replaced by a furious expression, returning to her normal personality. She jumped up and grabbed the dwarf by the neck, trying to intimidate her with her great strength. And yes, she's definitely strangling her. The huge height difference leaves the "poor student's" feet dangling above the ground.
By the way, it's true that dwarves are physically strong, but she's a different case. The foam coming from her mouth confirms it. She can't defend herself; she's suffering. But someone came to save her.
"Stay out of my business…!"
From the feet of a certain person, a blast of icy wind froze the ground instantly, and in less than a second, the student's body was completely frozen.
Kei saved her… Or that's what you'd expect. It wasn't Kei. It was a teacher who saved her.
A teacher from the Glacivitae race, or in simpler terms, an ice teacher. In short, living ice. The first Glacivitae were created during the first war against demons by a hero, and over time, more were born, as they had the ability to reproduce sexually, being living beings with a limited lifespan. They live between 150-200 years, and this teacher is 182, considered fully elderly for her race.
Her appearance is… transparent. She's ice in human form, but without details. Her voice is elderly, her movements slow, but she doesn't look like an old woman. She has breasts (very small, tiny), large thighs, and a big butt that contrasts sharply with her chest, but otherwise, she lacks details. No face, mouth, ears, or nails. What she does have is long, gray hair.
The only parts of her race with well-defined details are the erotic areas, like private parts, which are soft and warm compared to the rest of their bodies, which are hard and cold. Why are they like this? Fravi had nothing to do with it; a hero created them, and their original purpose wasn't fighting—it was more like… entertainment.
They usually live in the icy regions of the world; it's extremely rare to see a Glacivitae in a country where it only snows two weeks a year. She's the only one of her race living in this country. Why does she risk melting? Only she knows.
With her staff, the teacher broke the student's arms, freeing the dwarf student, who started coughing on the ground. The students around paled and chose not to comment, continuing with their lives.
She just broke a student's arms without remorse. But in a world where people with healing magic can regenerate body parts, it's not something that can't be fixed.
"Thank you, Teacher Miferk," she said, her expression showing nothing. Absolute seriousness.
Even while suffering, her face never showed pain or regret. It showed nothing.
"Walk," the teacher said in that elderly voice that didn't match her erotic appearance at all.
She nodded and began walking beside her. The teacher snapped her fingers, and the ice melted instantly, while the student started screaming in pain from losing both arms.
Kei is an expert in fire and ice magic, but he's not the only one in the world with that ability.
Teacher Miferk, in charge of the "ice attribute" class, and the most powerful ice user in the country. In the country, not the continent or the world. Those titles belong to two different people, one of whom is a hero.

Unaware of the situation, Kei entered the classroom, and instantly, Seiya ran toward him like a sweet princess rushing into her beloved prince's arms. The scene seemed that sweet, filling Kei with chills and discomfort as he struggled to maintain his heterosexuality.
"Kei!"
She hugged him tightly, and Kei turned red. Yes, it was nice to get a hug from a "cute girl," but what made him nervous was a certain bulge he felt from her. Their bodies were pressed together, and Seiya also had… Well, no need to be explicit to figure out what's going on.
Men only feel sexual attraction for those they love, and Seiya's erection leaves two options open:
She loves Kei.
She's in love with a girl in the class.
And Kei prays it's the second option.
"S-Seiya?!"
"I'm so glad you're okay! Mei told us what happened to you!" she said, on the verge of tears.
A sweet reaction, someone worried about their loved one, their friend, but Kei is so focused on imagining naked women to push away dark thoughts that he doesn't notice her tears.
"W-wow, wow… Thanks for worrying."
But no matter what he imagined—Drin naked, Eris groping her breasts, Terkiana and Nerka bumping their naked butts, even in desperation he imagined Near going down on him—nothing could compete with the smell.
Kei could smell Seiya's hair. It smelled so good that all those +18 thoughts vanished, replaced by new ones, with Seiya as the protagonist.
Seiya's hair smells better than Mei's! It looks so soft! Seiya, you outshine Mei in femininity! Ahhhhh! Don't imagine anything weird; she's underage! Ahhhhh! I'm a sicko! Kei thought.
Mei entered the classroom and saw the scene. Immediately, she got jealous and separated them.
"Kei needs to rest; his body's sore…! Besides…"
Mei hugged Kei.
If it were another girl, Kei would get nervous. But Kei didn't get nervous with his sister. Mei was his sister, part of his family. He thinks hugs and kisses are normal family affection… Though Mei exaggerates with that, but Kei didn't know. He thought what Mei did was normal, but it definitely wasn't. No sister would kiss her brother that much. Or hug him that much. Siblings are natural enemies, but Mei never teased or fought with her brother.
Kei thought it was normal because Nia did it too, but Nia and Mei were romantically in love with him. They took advantage of their sisterly role to hug and kiss Kei without him suspecting. And since Kei had no blood siblings in his original world and barely interacted with his siblings in this one, he didn't know.
"I'm the only one who can hug him!"
Kei smiled and patted her head.
"You're adorable."
Mei blushed at hearing that and hugged him much harder than before, bending him in half in an inhuman way, making everyone in the room pale with fear.
"A-adorable?! Thanks, brother!"
Kei said it without thinking. To him, Mei looked very adorable.
Adorable is definitely Kei's weakness. So much so that he completely ignores the infernal pain he's feeling right now and doesn't worry about not feeling the lower half of his body.
The teacher entered the classroom and, for the sake of her mental health, decided to ignore the Molfer twins. Mei was obsessed with Kei, and he was a masochist. Every interaction with them ended badly.
"To your seats, class is starting. You'll have a surprise test today."
"Eh?!"
Everyone was nervous about that, as it meant one thing: pain. And Kei's wide smile confirmed it.
•

Recess began, and the students left the classroom exhausted, practically dragging themselves across the floor.
"I-I need a break."
"My brain hurts!"
Only a few came out relatively unscathed: the Molfer siblings, Seiya (because she didn't do anything; her princess title helps her avoid dangerous tests), a monkey girl (more human-like but with prominent monkey traits), and an Auralis girl (a race characterized as living wind). And Grisia? Well, Grisia is dragging herself across the floor, clinging to Kei's leg to move along with him. Yes, she trains with Kei's companions, but that won't make her powerful in such a short time. She has potential, but she's far from reaching Kei and Mei's current level. Grisia doesn't belong to the generation of false heroes, as Kei initially thought.
In their first year, Mei and Grisia were equally powerful, but now, there's a huge gap between them. If Grisia truly belonged to the false heroes' generation, they'd be equally powerful. Grisia was born powerful, that's all. Now she must work three times harder to catch up.
"This is unfair!" Grisia said, kicking her feet.
Mei hugged Kei's arm.
"Learning hurts, brother! Give me some love to feel better!"
Seiya hugged Kei's other arm.
"Me too, please!"
"W-wow, wow. I-I'm hungry. Let's go to the cafeteria," Kei said, changing the subject.
"Let's go!" both said.
Grisia passed out, but Kei keeps dragging her without noticing.
As they left the classroom, Kei witnessed bullying. It'd be typical and easy to ignore, but today was different.
"A filthy commoner doesn't belong in Class A! You don't belong in this school!"
"Go back to your disgusting village, commoner!"
A commoner in the school. An extremely rare case. Since the generation of false heroes appeared, commoners born in that generation only train, not study (mostly due to social issues). Hearing about a commoner in the school made Kei's ears perk up, and he decided to intervene.
Two girls were harassing a student, the dwarf the teacher had saved. Despite the awful situation, the student seemed calm. Her face showed no emotion. She didn't seem sad. She didn't seem happy.
Kei discovered a new character.
The cold-expression character. They're usually loners or have a tragic past. I have to help her, Kei thought.
A new friend or a new love interest—those are the two options in his mind. A commoner in an elite school with a unique expression. For Kei, she's definitely important to the story.
"I don't want trouble. Miss Miferk forbade me from fighting."
Her voice was low and calm, a bit childish. Very sweet and unique, soothing to hear.
"Don't talk to us, you filthy thing!"
One of them tried to slap her, but Kei grabbed her arm and stopped her.
"Who…?! Kei Molfer?!"
Both girls saw their lives flash before their eyes. Kei Molfer was angry; that was clearly a furious expression. If a calm Kei was already considered a monster, they couldn't imagine an angry Kei.
He wasn't angry at first, but when he heard the dwarf's sweet, childish voice, his bloodlust activated, and his anger awakened. They were about to hit such an adorable girl, and for Kei, that's one of the worst sins in life.
"I hate people who take advantage of others. If you bother her again, I won't hit you, but I'll make sure your family is erased. Sei Molfer can ask the Queen to make your family's name disappear without consequences. You'll become a commoner too."
"Y-you wouldn't dare," she said, with her last shred of bravery—or rather, stupidity.
"Sweetie, you don't really know me. I would," he said, activating his ability on them and, unintentionally, also triggering Seiya, Mei, and Grisia's anger and jealousy, who woke up instantly from her deep sleep.
He smiled at both girls, and their bodies stirred, filled with a burning heat inside. It's not the +18 ability, but they're going through puberty, their hormones are more active than ever, and falling for someone like Kei Molfer, having him so close, makes them submissive.
"Pretty girls shouldn't be mean. If you're good girls, you'll look even more beautiful."
Kei patted one's head and the other's cheek. They touched his hands and slowly leaned their faces toward him, expecting a kiss, but Kei just covered their mouths.
"Please, can you leave her alone? I don't want to get violent."
"Y-yes! I-I'll never bother her!"
"S-sorry for our behavior!"
Both ran off, and Kei sighed, filled with discomfort and disgust, as certain notifications appeared before him. What did they say? Better not to mention, but it's something common for Kei. What makes it disgusting is the girls' ages, not even 14.
A social victory for Kei.
A defeat for Kei's dignity and self-esteem.
At least I resolved this without fighting, Kei thought.
He felt a chill and began trembling with fear.
Mei and Seiya placed their hands on Kei's shoulders, and Grisia hugged his legs, immobilizing him.
"Brother, don't flirt in front of your cute sister."
"I didn't know you were such an easy guy, Kei."
"Give me some of that too!"
Their dark, resentful tones only amplified his guilt and fear. He shook his head quickly, trying to calm himself.
"I-I was just trying to help someone!"
The girl approached Kei.
He thought she'd fall for him or at least show interest, maybe become friends, but reality was very different.
"Thanks for the help. Goodbye."
She walked away. Yes, she wasn't pretending; Kei could feel it in his soul. She definitely felt nothing for him, not even gratitude. She only thanked him out of politeness.
She wasn't scared of him, nothing. Like a robot speaking just to speak, and for Kei, that made her far more interesting. To him, she's definitely someone who'll be very important in the future.
"Wait! Can I know your name?"
She stopped and looked him in the eyes.
"My name is Mkarma."
She continued walking, paying no more attention to Kei.
"Mkarma… That's a weird name," Kei thought.
