Heaven's Greatest Professor

Chapter 314: Cuddling

His declaration finished with that. He didn't bother to answer any of their inquiries and let his words sink in. The adepts began eating quickly until one of them stood up.

"Thank you for the food," Aki said as he rushed back to the house. "It was delicious, but I better go now."

"I left the door to my room open," said the oldest of them as he began to run as well.

"Sweet gods, I need a bath," added Kei as she joined them in the run.

Soon, only Gale and the three ladies were left.

"Good lord, this is crazy," Jenni muttered, licking her dessert.

"Do you not intend to compete with them?" June asked her.

"I haven't thought of it yet," she said. "But I guess if I can get a load of food, I certainly will." She finished her dessert and began to lick the container under everyone's gaze. "Oh, them? Most of them are no competition to me."

"You better start first," Dawn added, shaking her head. "Knowing Sir, he wouldn't be looking for someone who's just better than six others."

"What do you mean?" Jenni asked.

Dawn kept her silence.

"What does that mean?" Jenni asked once more.

Dawn smiled at her mysteriously. Explore hidden tales at ???

Gale handed her the graph papers with a smile. "If I were to give points, you'd surely be on top," he said. "You got 62 out of 100, commendable for your first try."

Jenni frowned, her eyes flashing between the papers and the faces of Gale, June, and Dawn. "I feel like I'm missing something," she muttered.

Gale only smiled at her and moved to his hammock. He wouldn't worry his mind with any business until sunrise.

"And you're not going to tell me what it is, are you?" she asked, frustration mounting. "If this is some philosophical enlightenment thing…"

Unable to get her answers, Jenni complained a bit before departing as well, announcing she would throw a perfect design at his face by the end of it.

He chuckled, watching her leave.

"She's very brazen," June commented.

Dawn was preparing to clean up, but Gale stopped her. "I'll take care of it. You go rest."

"I'm not tired," Dawn insisted.

"I guess," he scratched his head before casting a radiance spell that cleansed all the equipment and dishes in the blink of an eye, causing both women to perk up.

Now, how do I tell her to give me some privacy with June? he thought. "Go check on Jenni, will you?" he asked. "She has a tendency to take the wrong lessons."

Dawn frowned but nodded, much to his delight, and soon departed, exchanging a few more words with June.

"She seems to know you well," June admitted in a bitter tone.

"How about I teach you more about me, then?" He pulled her closer. "Now till sunrise, you're mine."

June blushed as he caught her arms. He pulled her into his lap, supported by the hammock. "So, now can you explain some of the stuff you mentioned on the call?"

"I will," he said, coddling her. "What do you want to know?"

"I'm not sure," June said, her figure melting in his arms. "How about you start from when you entered the front lines?"

Gale began as the sun set on the horizon. He wasn't even halfway through when June lay on his chest, as they cuddled in the hammock.

"You never mentioned your relationship with this Agnes was so deep?" June asked, pouting.

"It's not that deep," he mumbled, brushing a loose strand of hair from her cheek. "We're just like-minded and hit it off really well."

June snorted. "Then what about the Cassandra girl?"

"What about her?"

"I hear all the girls from Azalea Garden are pretty," June said. "While the young chiefs were exceptionally so."

"She's pretty," he admitted, "but not as much as you."

He pulled her close, raining kisses on her neck.

"About May," June said, whimpering from the intimacy.

"I have told you I'm not a womanizer—"

"Not that," June stopped him with a kiss. "With how you described her, May is likely my cousin from the side of my maternal aunt."

"What, really?"

"I don't know the details, but my aunt married outside the lineage when I was in a coma," June said. "I met her and May once a couple of years ago. They have a loving family."

"Well, she's sweet," Gale admitted. "She was very helpful to everyone on the mission. That reminds me, I asked her to give me some lessons on healing and forgot to show up."

"That sounds very much like you."

Gale smiled. "Enough about other girls, I want to see you now," he whispered into her ear as his palm slid into her gown.

June shuddered. "No," she cried with just a little touch on her back. "What if someone sees us?"

"There's no one around," he said, his palm moving further to feel her bare flesh. With a mental command, he brought out a blanket from his spirit domain and covered them with it. "My senses can pick up even a cricket falling off a leaf. I'll detect if anyone approaches."

June is still opposed. She was probably fine doing it in a private room, but Gale found the environment very endearing. Besides, the room would be far more disturbing, considering others would be staying next room.

"Fine, I'll lay an isolation script around us. Happy?"

"You pervert! What will others think?"

"Whatever they wish," he mumbled, giving her a slight knead on her hips. "Heh, they wouldn't have time to think about anything but runes."

June finally gave in. He showered kisses on her neck and upper chest, her own lust mounting.

"It's only been a few days for you," he said between the kisses. "But it's months for me."

"Mhmm..." she whimpered. "I'm not going to catch any sleep tonight, am I?"

"Don't worry, I'll leave you completely refreshed," he said, sliding off one side of her gown off her shoulder.
