Chapter 158: Chapter 158 That’s All l Need

Although Vaan could feel the greedy gazes of the Senior Witch-level academy instructors, not all of them desired him as their man or personal servant.

A few were more curious about his ridiculously sturdy body.

“All of you, shoo. Go back to your dorms or do something else. This isn’t the time and place for a hookup,” a Senior Witch dispersed the crowd with a stern look before making her way over to the fifth-year True Witches. “This includes all of you too.”

“Senior Edna, this isn’t fair. You are clearly abusing your authority to remove us so that you can have Vahn to yourself,” Zaria Whisper complained.

“Ahem, that’s nonsense,” Edna Stunner denied with an awkward cough and said solemnly, “You will get score deductions for false accusations, Zaria.”

Zaria Whisper’s eyes widened along with several other fifth-year True Witches. Edna Stunner’s blatant abuse of authority could not be more obvious.

“Enough dawdling, students and servants. Vacate the first training field at once if you have no business here,” another Senior Witch-level academy instructor named Cordelia Moonfall asserted authoritatively.

As the younger witches below fifth-year students dispersed from the area with grumbled complaints, several servants made their way over to Bram Krauss.

“Boss, no need to feel down. If it were a real fight with weapons, you would have easily defeated the newcomer.”

“Yeah, Boss. The newcomer’s defense might be high, but it’s nothing in front of an Aura User’s empowered weapon.”

Bram Krauss’s men tried to cheer him up.

However, Bram Krauss shook his head with a soft sigh.

“There are no what-ifs. A loss is a loss. Besides, I get the feeling that even if it were a real fight with our lives on the line, I would have still lost,” Bram Krauss stated.

It was just a gut feeling, but he was not wrong.

Vaan had not used any of his hidden abilities in the fight. If he had used them, his combat prowess would have risen substantially—enough to challenge Early Rank 2 Aura Masters and possibly higher.

“It can’t be… right?” Bram Krauss’s men doubted.

However, Bram Krauss raised his head to look at them seriously and said, “Well, let me ask you guys. Did anyone see Vahn use aura?”

None of the servants could answer.

The newcomer’s defense was so high that he did not need to rely on aura to win the fight. In order words, their boss, Bram Krauss, wasn’t strong enough to even force the person to use aura.

…

While Bram Krauss’s question stunned the servants in his group and the fifth-year True Witches complained to the Senior Witch-level academy instructors, a spirit bird made of pure light flew over from the main building’s top floor.

After the spirit bird of light landed on one of the Senior Witches’ shoulders and whispered into her ears, it dispersed into the air.

“What did Headmaster Tabitha say, Senior Edna?” another Senior Witch inquired.

Edna Stunner, who received the spirit message, stood frozen with a slightly stunned look before she eventually recovered with a blink of her eyes.

“Headmaster Tabitha had just released information on the new library assistant’s background. Vahn Cadieux is Marquis Delarosa’s daughter’s betrothed and an elite raised by her household,” Edna Stunner recounted the message.

“Additionally, Lord Helia holds him in high regard. Thus, she expects us to keep that in mind and treat him accordingly.”

“Seriously?” the other Senior Witches expressed their surprise and disappointment.

No matter how much they wanted Vahn Cadieux, they wouldn’t touch a man already affiliated with another household. It was related to the household’s honor.

Forceful poaching would only lead to serious consequences, not to mention outright offending the affiliated household.

Furthermore, they had to consider Lord Helia as well.

“You all heard that? Vahn Cadieux is already betrothed to another witch and has a powerful affiliation and connection. Furthermore, he is the academy’s library assistant, not some servant. You all better treat him with some respect,” Edna Stunner declared to the fifth-year True Witches.

At the same time, Vaan was surprised by the news.

Considering his identity wasn’t revealed from the start, he understood that even if he proclaimed himself as such, Headmaster Tabitha might not come out to vouch for him.

As such, he had prepared to deal with the excited witches in another way.

However, it was clear that it was no longer needed. Even so, he couldn’t let so many potential mana suppliers leave just like that. It would be a waste of the present opportunity.

“While it’s true that I am engaged, it does not hinder me from providing some services. For details of said services, please seek Lady Sabrina, Lady Cassandra, and Lady Alicia,” Vaan said as the young witches were leaving.

When Sabrina and Alicia heard that, they were devastated.

They tried to keep Vaan’s impressive pleasuring skills to themselves but forgot he could also advertise himself to others.

Nevertheless, Vaan’s words sparked the other witches’ interest at once.

“What kind of services?” Edna Stunner could not help but ask near Vaan.

Right after, Vaan briefly explained his service and conditions for exclusive contracts to her.

Although it did sound like he was only interested in deflowering young witches, it also made perfect sense to Edna Stunner and the others who overheard him.

Only dual practices with virgin witches were risk-free.

Considering Vahn Cadieux’s fiancée was the daughter of Marquis Delarosa, it was unacceptable if his body became impure due to promiscuous practice without care.

Even if Vahn Cadieux’s fiancée still accepts him, Marquis Delarosa wouldn’t.

After all, a healthy man was a major consideration in choosing a partner due to the biggest issue that all witches face: fertility.

Witches have extremely low fertility.

As such, only an extremely healthy man can become the head husband of a witch. They had the highest chance of helping their witch conceive a child.

Average households don’t care about it much, but it was treated with great importance within noble households like the Delarosa Household.

“No wonder… I can see why you can only accept virgin witches for an exclusive contract,” Edna Stunner nodded with understanding. “After all, it directly affects your position in the Delarosa Household.”

“However, virgin witches aren’t your only option, no? I believe witches that abstained from all physical intimacy with men for at least a year are also risk-free to dual practice with.”

“That’s true, my Lady,” Vaan nodded with acknowledgment. He had no problem dual-practicing with such witches if that was the case.

“Unfortunately, there aren’t many witches in the academy who can abstain for a year after tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time. If I may speak freely, they normally become quite indulgent for a while,” Vaan calmly added.

“That’s also true,” Edna Stunner acknowledged with a nod before giving Vaan a flirty smile, “But that only applies to the young students. Instructors like myself are more reserved after passing that period.”

“I don’t mind telling you that it’s been three years since I’ve last touched a man,” Edna Stunner mentioned seductively.

“Are you implying that you are interested in signing an exclusive contract for the dual practice service with me, my Lady?” Vaan asked with a slight smile.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself, boy,” Edna Stunner coolly said before adding, “I am interested, but it’s not that easy to bed a Senior Witch. Before proceeding to that step, I will have to see if your full-body massage is truly impressive enough.”

“And that’s all I need,” Vaan revealed a confident smile.
