Chapter 104: Ranking up

Davi stretched slowly, his muscles waking up one by one as the sunlight invaded his eyes without mercy.

The air in that place was dense, filled with a sour smell of sweat, mold, and something indefinably putrid that invaded his nostrils. So, it was safe to say he did not wake up pleasantly.

The sun cut through the rusted bars like a blade, drawing lines of light and shadow across the dirt floor. There was no window, only a narrow opening high on the wall, large enough to let in the cold wind of the night, but too small to stop the rain from soaking everything.

"It’s not nice, but it’s better than I expected..." he murmured anyway.

Then the boy began stretching, debating whether he should wait to be released or go ahead with his exercise routine right there in the cell.

Yes, thanks to an ironic series of events, the boy was in jail, even if, at that point, his imprisonment had only lasted a single night.

Davi let out a soft sigh. He was only in that situation because someone who didn’t like him had used their influence to put him on the list of suspects.

And in the chaos that surrounded the ongoing investigation, this had gone unnoticed.

Or rather, the person responsible for the decision didn’t even report it to their superior, so neither Amelia nor Morrigan had found out.

Of course, Davi wasn’t particularly worried. After spending two days in the infirmary, he had fully recovered, and now all that remained was to wait for the day he’d be released.

And that day came quickly.

Shortly after waking up, the boy heard uneven footsteps approaching down the corridor.

It was the officer who had arrested him, but he looked very different from the last time they met. His face was pale as wax. His wide, bloodshot eyes looked like those of a man who had seen death itself.

Davi also couldn’t help but notice that the man’s hands were shaking so badly he could barely turn the key in the rusted lock.

The reason for his terror was simple: that morning, he had been woken by a call from his superior’s superior, an icy voice that had ripped into him with such cutting fury that he still felt the words like knife stabs in his back.

Then, before he could even have coffee, another call. This time from Amelia.

His hands trembled just to answer, and even after hearing the voice on the other end, he still couldn’t believe it was, in fact, Amelia.

That being said, the woman didn’t hesitate to reprimand him for his actions. And, without a doubt, her tone of voice would make even the braves mant break out in a cold sweat.

Leaving his house, thinking the nightmare was over, he bumped into Ember, a member of the Darnel family, and not just her. By her side was another Rank S. Both demanded explanations about Davi’s arrest.

In the office, the horror deepened. On the desk lay a formal complaint, signed by Sophia Belfort, the same one who had crushed Amanda Belfort and who, they said, would run the family in the future. The document looked like a death sentence.

And, as if that weren’t enough, when he finally managed to stammer out "I’ll release Davi immediately!", they all insisted on accompanying him.

Now, his office was occupied by a group of women whose influence could ruin not only his career but his life.

The officer swallowed hard, his fingers slipping on the key. He couldn’t even look at Davi. Every second in that cell was a reminder that, out of pure arrogance, he had awakened monsters he shouldn’t have disturbed.

"D-Davi... I-I’m so sorry, it was a misunderstanding..." His voice came out as a low, almost inaudible whisper.

Davi, still sitting on the floor, raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise but said nothing as the officer stammered apologies.

And as soon as he was released, the man came face to face with Lara and Alexia, who were waiting for him with worried looks. A little behind the two, he could see Sophia and Ember arguing about something.

Afraid that the two would end up destroying the office, he walked towards them and hit both of them on the head with a karate chop, calming them down.

Then he kissed his three girlfriends, leaving Sophia aside, which made her pout. However, when he approached to kiss her, she obviously refused.

And, in the end, this gesture only served to irritate Ember, who began to demand explanations, but Davi ignored her, saying that they should go home soon.

"Yes, we should have a party to celebrate our safe return!" Alexia suggested, then whispered in a more perverted tone for Davi to hear, "I’ll be sure to reward you for helping me come back alive, Master."

Ember, who heard that, afraid of being left behind, immediately stopped complaining and also approached Davi, trying to act seductively.

However, the four girls heard a voice sound quickly.

"Sorry, but I’m going to have to borrow him for a moment."

In the end, they didn’t even have time to observe the smile of the woman who said that, because she had already disappeared by the time they realized it. And she took Davi with her.

Before he realized it, Davi was in Amelia’s office.

This time, her desk was completely covered in papers, she didn’t even bother trying to hide them.

Her gaze also looked tired, perhaps due to the sheer amount of work she had been dealing with over the past few days.

"What do you want?" Davi asked right away. He missed his girlfriends and wanted to see them as soon as possible.

During the first two days in the infirmary, he hadn’t been allowed visitors. And afterward, he had ended up in prison. That’s why he still hadn’t had the chance to see them.

"I just wanted to discuss a few things with you. Don’t tell me you don’t enjoy my company?" Amelia asked in a teasing tone.

She then began explaining the reason she had summoned the boy. First, she wanted to talk about his rank promotion.

All students ranked E and F who had participated in the incident would receive an automatic two-rank promotion. After all, surviving that kind of hell was no small feat.

Those ranked D or above would receive a one-rank promotion, except for those at rank A, who would instead earn points.

Sophia would receive a personalized reward, but obviously, Davi was not pleased at all with what he was hearing.

"And my rank?" he finally asked.

It clearly wouldn’t make sense for him to get the same basic two-rank promotion as the others, his contributions had been far greater.

Amelia even teased him a bit, saying he seemed very eager to rise in rank.

Then, she sensually licked her lips and asked:

"Are you this eager to kiss me?" the woman said, moving a little closer to Davi.

Then she pressed her ample breasts against his, while lust was clearly reflected in her gaze.

Davi wouldn’t just stand there watching when she provoked him like that. So his hands lightly caressed the woman’s back, pulling her closer.

Her breasts were crushed against the boy’s chest. And she could feel his erection pressing against her thick, sensual thighs.

Then the boy’s hands slowly traveled up Amelia’s back until he reached her plump, sensual buttocks.

Davi didn’t resist the desire that burned between them. With a soft but firm movement, he tilted his head and brought his lips close to Amelia’s, feeling the warmth of her breath mingling with his. Their pressed bodies, the sexual tension in the air, everything seemed to lead to this moment.

Before their lips could touch, however, a magical glow enveloped Davi. Suddenly, he felt the world spin around him, and in the blink of an eye, he was back in his armchair, as if nothing had happened.

Amelia before him smiled provocatively as she stared at his erection, still visible through his clothes.

"Young men are so voracious," she commented as if she hadn’t been the one to instigate the young man.

Then she sat on her desk and crossed her legs in a deliberately sensual manner.

"You’ll be moving up to Rank B," she said with a soft smile.

It wouldn’t be possible for him to get a promotion all the way to Rank S. Because new students at that Rank were only admitted once a semester. So it was natural that they wouldn’t make an exception for him, despite his great deeds.

But at the very least, he should move up to Rank A.

"You’re not wrong," Amelia said upon hearing his complaints. "But..."

She explained that promoting him directly to Rank A would attract too much attention, and many people would want to oppose it.

"Besides, did you know that teachers also have rankings?" Amelia commented with a smile.

And before Davi could ask anything, she snapped her fingers and made paperwork appear in his hands.

It was the admission paperwork for him to be an assistant in a teacher’s laboratory.

By the way, when she referred to the teachers’ ranks, it was because teachers of a certain level couldn’t take Rank A or Rank S students as assistants.

"I believe you have a lot to gain from her. Trust me, she’s a good girl."

"You want me to fuck my teacher?" Davi asked dumbfounded.

Amelia just smiled without saying anything and snapped her fingers, sending Davi to the room where Luna was changing.
