## Chapter 203 – 203. Efficiency
#203. Efficiency
It was only last week that something like that happened, so it would be a lie to say I wasn’t anticipating another meeting with the Tower Master.
“Is this everything you need?”
“Yes, I think this is enough. Thank you for your cooperation.”
Contrary to my expectations, the meeting with the Tower Master ended simply. Instead of asking for my sperm like last time, all she did was conduct a simple survey and draw blood with a lancet.
If that’s all she wanted, why was she sticking so close to me?
Is she enjoying watching my reaction?
“Are you disappointed?”
I turned my head at the seductive voice that dug into my ear. My eyes met the Tower Master’s.
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
I answered nonchalantly, as if I knew nothing.
Just because something like that happened doesn’t mean I should assume I’m close to the Tower Master. There are plenty of eccentrics among wizards.
Giving meaning to their every action would only make me tired.
The last incident was likely just one of her whims.
From the start, what I wanted was a friendship with Han La-el, the next head of the Jin Ryu Han family and the Gray Magic Tower Master, nothing more.
Of course, it would be ideal if we could become closer on an intimate level, but the problem is…
‘Choi Hye-na hates it.’
I don’t know the exact reason, but Choi Hye-na doesn’t like me being close to the Tower Master.
As soon as she found out that I was meeting the Tower Master regularly, I had to appease and soothe her for almost an hour as she flared up like a fire.
Of course, she stubbornly insisted that it wasn’t allowed until the end, so I briefly took her to a secluded classroom for some “education.”
“That’s a shame.”
The Tower Master’s eyes curved into a smile.
It’s a smile I can’t get used to no matter how many times I see it. How many men must have been captivated by that meaningless smile?
The Tower Master seemed to want to adjust her posture and unfolded her crossed legs. For a moment, the hem of her dress slipped down, revealing her snow-white thighs.
My gaze was involuntarily drawn to the sight.
As if sensing my gaze, the Tower Master stared at me without a word.
Tap, tap.
Suddenly, the Tower Master tapped her thigh. The smile spreading across her lips intensified my unease.
“Would you like to lie down here?”
“Pardon?”
I asked back in disbelief at the Tower Master’s incomprehensible words.
“It’s also part of the research.”
“Is that also a tool you need for your research?”
“Of course.”
In the Tower Master’s hand was an ear pick that I didn’t know where she had gotten from.
“…I don’t know how cleaning ears could possibly help.”
“The judgment is mine to make, okay?”
“If you really want, I can do it myself…”
“Hurry.”
The Tower Master kept tapping her thigh and urging me.
I had no choice but to rest my head on her thigh.
Suddenly, Choi Hye-na’s advice to be careful of the Tower Master came to mind. But if she, a 7-circle mage, had any intention of doing something to me, she would have already made a move.
It would be stranger to be wary now.
By the way, her thighs are really soft.
I felt like I was going to get an erection without realizing it.
“If there’s anything uncomfortable, you have to tell me anytime, okay?”
There’s no way there could be anything uncomfortable.
It was so comfortable that I felt like I could fall asleep right away.
Just as I was quietly closing my eyes and waiting, I felt the sensation of soft fingertips, not an ear pick, touching my earlobe.
“Tower Master?”
“Oh, I’m sorry. It’s my first time cleaning a man’s ears, so I was so fascinated that I couldn’t help myself… Did I make you feel bad?”
“…It’s okay.”
“That’s a relief.”
As soon as she got the okay, the Tower Master started touching my ears as if there was nothing to hold back.
She mainly massaged my earlobes and occasionally rubbed the outer edges of my ears.
It was a skillful touch that was hard to believe it was her first time.
Except for a slight tickle, there was nothing particularly uncomfortable, but I didn’t know why the Tower Master was doing this.
‘Is she really trying to seduce me?’
It would be just me getting my hopes up, but there had already been an incident once before.
But after that, the Tower Master never showed any signs or even mentioned the incident, so I couldn’t help but be skeptical.
But I can’t just lay her down on the bed like I would with someone else.
‘Still, well… this isn’t so bad either.’
Soon after, the Tower Master began to clean my ears in earnest.
It had been so long since I had my ears cleaned by someone else that my body stiffened slightly without me realizing it.
“Hehe, you don’t have to be nervous. I used to clean Seo-ah’s ears myself when she was little.”
“Seo-ah?”
“My younger sister. I think she’s in the same class as Hyun-woo, do you know her?”
“I’ve seen her face in passing.”
I didn’t bother to say that we weren’t just acquaintances, but that our relationship was close to the worst.
“Would it be okay if I asked you for a favor?”
“A favor?”
“If it’s okay with Hyun-woo, could you befriend Seo-ah? She may seem cold on the outside, but she’s actually a very lonely child.”
“…”
That woman?
The image of Han Seo-ah glaring at me as if she wanted to kill me is still vivid in my mind.
“Is there really a need for that? She already seems to have a lot of friends.”
Whether Han Seo-ah only reveals her true feelings to me or not, she at least pretends to be a good person in the classroom. Thanks to that, her friendships aren’t bad and she seems to have quite a few friends.
She always seems to be hanging out with the girls in the class.
‘…Then why was she walking down the hallway alone this morning?’
It’s only been a week, but it’s the first time I’ve seen Han Seo-ah walking alone today. And when she bumped into me, she was unusually edgy, unlike her usual self.
Unless she knew who I was, it wasn’t like Han Seo-ah to act like that without knowing who the other person was.
“…That’s a relief.”
The Tower Master’s answer after a short silence seemed somewhat out of place.
A younger sister trying to dig up information about her older sister, and an older sister worrying about such a younger sister.
‘There’s nothing more annoying than getting involved in complicated family affairs.’
I quietly focused on the ear cleaning that the Tower Master was doing herself.
As expected, her touch was so excellent that there was nothing to criticize, as if it were true that she often did it for Han Seo-ah.
Thanks to that, I quickly became drowsy and felt like I could fall asleep right away.
But I held on to my mind and opened my eyes slightly.
I could see the Tower Master’s lower abdomen because of her tight dress.
I wanted to bury my nose in it and smell it right away, but now wasn’t the time for that.
I slowly raised my magic power so that the Tower Master wouldn’t notice.
To reach the 5th circle, it is necessary to build the Astral, which is a mental realm.
Iris is unable to open the Astral because most of her power is sealed, but the Tower Master is different.
If I could get a glimpse of even a part of her Astral, which has reached the 7th circle, it would be a great help.
‘I don’t know if it’s possible to peek into someone else’s Astral, but…’
There was no harm in trying.
I closed my eyes and erased my senses one by one, starting with sight, then hearing, smell, and touch.
The stimulating scent that brushed past the tip of my nose every moment and the sensation of the ear pick tickling my ears are no longer felt.
Nevertheless, the Tower Master’s presence was still vividly felt. It was possible because our skin was touching.
Not only that.
I could also feel the enormous magic power lurking within the Tower Master and the countless magic circuits branching out like branches.
Like a vast sea, I can’t even fathom its end.
This is a wizard who has reached the 7th circle.
‘Is she one of the owners of the 12 Magic Towers?’
But this is not what I want to see.
Her inner self, her Astral, which is spread out in a deeper place.
I forgot to even breathe and pushed my concentration to the limit. Most of my physical activities will stop for a while, but it’s not a big problem.
As long as magic power flows through my body, my brain and heart will continue to move anyway.
How long has it been?
‘…Is it not possible after all?’
I, who was wandering in the darkness, had to admit defeat in the end.
But I wasn’t disappointed. It was something I had expected to some extent.
In the first place, it was impossible for me, who was only in the 4th circle, to peek into the Tower Master’s Astral.
I put my strength away with a heavy heart. Ending the concentration that had reached its limit was not something I could do as I pleased.
I had to revive the senses that I had erased one by one.
If I made a mistake, I would have problems with my senses for a while, so I carefully revived my senses one by one, starting with my sense of smell.
The Tower Master’s stimulating scent brushes past the tip of my nose. I succeeded in restoring my sense of smell without any problems.
Squeak, squeak-
But when I revived my second sense, hearing, I heard a familiar sound from somewhere.
I tried to ignore the anxiety that suddenly flashed through my mind and restored my sense of touch.
‘…Ha.’
I guess I wasn’t mistaken after all.
Finally, I revived my sight and opened my eyes.
“You’re awake?”
My eyes met the Tower Master’s.
Her face was strangely flushed.
“…Tower Master.”
“Yes, Hyun-woo.”
“May I ask what you’re doing right now?”
I raised my head slightly and looked at the Tower Master’s hand, which was caressing my penis.
She strokes my penis with a skillful touch, as if she were touching my ears. Every time she did, pleasure crept up on me.
How long has she been doing this?
“Of course, it’s research.”
“Does such research exist in the world?”
“Of course. We did it last week too, surely you haven’t forgotten? Even though it was my first time, even though it’s research…”
Anyone would think she had been robbed of her virginity.
“If your purpose is sperm, you don’t have to do this…”
“Actively cooperate with research. Do you remember?”
The Tower Master’s finger pressed down on my lips.
“For the efficiency of the research, it’s better for me to do it myself? So Hyun-woo just has to lie still… Hyun-woo?”
It was hard to bear any longer.
No, I don’t see any reason to bear it.
I got up from the Tower Master’s lap and immediately laid her down on the sofa.
She should have been surprised by the sudden action, but the Tower Master didn’t seem to mind. Rather, the blush on her face seemed to have deepened.
“Did you say it was for the efficiency of the research?”
I brushed the Tower Master’s hair as I unbuttoned her shirt. The soft and moist sensation slipped through my fingers.
The Tower Master’s eyes looking at me were full of heat.
“I have a more efficient method, would you like to entrust it to me?”
