Chapter 87: Chapter 18: Mana Efficiency [1]
Lancelot sat at his desk, toying with the display of his datapad, waiting for class to start.
To his right, Guinevere, and on the left, Sumika, after kicking away the other stead students and usurping their desks.
'I didn't expect these girls to be so crazy.' Lancelot thought as he saw his two classmates stare at him as though he were prey.
"Hey, I said not to get too close."
"It's fine; since you're my partner, I can get close all I want. Besides, we're just sitting together, so there are no problems, right?"
"Yes, you're right," Sumika added, helping Guinevere to tease him.
He wanted to keep a distance in classes because he wanted to chase Evaine and date her just like his last life, but this time she wouldn't be allowed to die again.
However, these two women both who were involved with him now could tell, especially Guinevere, as she leaned on his harm, letting her soft, squishy mounds wrap around his arm as she whispered, "I'm sorry, Lancelot, but you'll have to give up on those dreams. You're my boyfriend now. So, it's only natural for me to make you mine."
"Guinevere," Lancelot said, trying to pull his arm away from her grasp as he felt something wet and sticky touch his skin through the fabric of her uniform.
"I don't mind if you want to date other girls, Lancelot, as long as I am your number one. If I can be your number one, I don't care if you get 1,000 girlfriends."
"Tsk... go fight Morgnana!!" Lancelot groaned as he felt his arm constricted by Guinevere's tits while her hot breath caressed his skin, driving him crazy with her scent.
"Oh my, do you want to see me fight that hussy? You sure know how to rile me up, Lancelot."
"Don't fight! The teacher is coming. And you're making me all hot and bothered!"
Lancelot's sigh of relief when Sumika interjected to stop their flirting was interrupted when he heard what she said.
"What?!"
He turned to Sumika as his eyes grew wide at what he saw.
Sumika, who had been staring at Guinevere like a predator until now, was now looking at him with the same expression as Guinevere, licking her lips and rubbing her thighs together.
'Did I do anything bad to these two?'

The moment the door opened, Evaine stepped inside with a strange looked, her hair was soft and danced in the air with a fresh cut, now tied in a half-braid flowing down her back, while her lips were painted with a soft peach gloss, and for once she used a light foundation to make her soft cheeks even more charming.
She wore a black leather jacket over a white dress that was very pretty, with a frilly design. Her dress ended just a few centimetres below her ass, exposing her slender legs.
It was not extravagant, but it highlighted her body's curves, and her legs were wrapped in black leggings that showed off her thighs and ass, while the heels she wore made her look taller and gave her body an hourglass figure.
Her whole appearance made the people in the class, both guys and girls, open their eyes wide as they saw her.
Evaine always had a beautiful face but wore very casual clothes and never wore makeup.
However she always had a very feminine and charming face, but it was the first time she'd shown off her sexy and voluptuous body.
"Evaine..."
"Good morning, Lancelot."
Seeing Lancelot's surprise, Evaine gave him a sweet smile that caused the heart of all the boys in the room to skip a beat.
Her smile was so beautiful that Lancelot felt like his heart would stop.
'Is this my first love? What happened to the innocent and pure woman that I remember?' Lancelot asked himself.
He had been shocked to see her like this and wasn't the only one.
In the class, many others also had the same thought as him.
*Bzzzt*
His phone trembled as Evaine placed her's down and sat quietly, making sure nobody could see her lower body and using her coat as a blanket.
"So, today, class, we will learn how to use Ether more efficiently!"
Lancelot opened his phone only to cough, his eyes widening as a racy picture and message were sent from his teacher Evaine...
[Since you are so confident in taking me down tonight, here's a sneak peek of what you want to taste so badly, fufu~ I look forward to our date later. Make sure you don't mess up, lover boy!]
The image was of her in that white dress, but the straps were pulled down, revealing the top half of her succulent breasts, shaking like a perfectly made jelly, her eyes watching him while licking her lips as a student asked a question.
"Go ahead, Scott."
"Miss, the improved efficiency, I just can't understand why it's needed. I have killed more than 4 goblins with my fireball so far and didn't find any troubles." He looked confident and was quite charming as he flicked his fringe.
Evaine looked at him, then across the classroom. "Do you all think this is an amazing feat?"
"Yes!"
"Mmmm!"
Many agreed, nodding along with the words, as some hadn't even killed one golbin yet felt shameful.
"Why?"
"Because it's hard to kill a goblin, miss. Our magic power is limited!"
"That is true, but that is just because you haven't used your ether efficiently, and most of you are too weak to draw enough to fuel your spells," Evaine explained.
The entire class, proud of themselves, looked down, feeling shame.
"Scott, show me the cast of your fireball." Her voice was rather cold and neutral, but he seemed to think it was a time to show off as he took a strange pose that made her eyebrows rise.
'Idiot, what is that pose?'
Lancelot felt jealous when the guy was showing off and hitting on Evaine. It was just how men were with women they liked, so his right fingers snapped slightly.
'Ah, shit...'
But Evaine's eyes moved and looked at him as the small fire he gathered was blown out, but she didn't shout, instead mouthed words to him. "Are you jealous? Fufu."
This minx!
She was different, but that didn't mean he didn't like it. He formed a smile on his lips before replying. "Ah, I am, but you look too wonderful today."
"Hmph..."
Evaine turned away and looked at Scott, who began to sweat; because of his bad usage of Ether, it normally took him a few minutes of rest to cast another spell.
So he looked unsightly before a tiny flame appeared... it was tiny.
"Pfft..." Evaine covered her mouth, shocked as she laughed, but it caused a stir before the flame vanished under the chuckles of the entire class.
"Instructor... your laughter put me o--"
*Woosh*
A fireball instantly passed by his face, burning off the pathetic bum fluff he called a beard. Scott turned his head only to see Lancelot blowing his pinky while shrugging his shoulders and laughing.
"Sorry, sorry... I think he got something in his eye, right? You should wash your face, bro, pfft, hahaha..."
"Fufu, thank you, Lancelot. Well then, shall I tell you why we must learn to use our Ether efficiently and why you have all failed except five students?"
Evaine smiled at Lancelot before turning to the rest of the class.
"Yes." They all nodded, eager to learn from her.
"Good, then let us begin, but first, I want to hear from you guys. What do you think the Ether is?" Evaine asked, walking behind the desk while leaning on it and crossing her legs, which drew the attention of several students, especially Lancelot, who licked his lips as he watched her body, only for Guinevere to grab his crotch and squeeze it with a slight pout.
'Damn... Guin doesn't play fair!'
He groaned, but Sumika was even worse as she leaned towards him, her massive modest breasts pushing against his arm, their softness squishing against his arm as she pulled his fingers.
"Lancelot, why are you staring at the instructor's thighs?" Sumika whispered in his ear, causing him to jump as she guided his left hand between her silky, soft thighs.
Evaine's eyes darted towards him as he jumped before looking at Sumika and Guinevere.
"I asked a question; please answer." Her voice struck him like a whip, but he quickly freed his hands.
'Damn this woman... she knows how to drive me crazy.' He cursed, but the next words drew his attention.
"The Ether is a magical power that lives in every creature in the world, but it's better to be seen as life itself, like blood."
"If you imagine it as such a scarce resource, the way your spells are cast will be less hazardous to yourself in real combat," Lancelot said honestly,
These were the feelings deep inside him because he moved Ether so fast by treating it like the blood in his body.
"Umu, this is quite an interesting idea. Not the mainstream, but would you be willing to come up to the front and show us a display? I am very interested."
Her eyes were narrow, with a look of joy as she licked her lips like a predator.
'Did my actions last night backfire?' He wondered before getting up from his desk, the hand on his crotch now gone, while his left hand was a little sticky and smelled strange.
"Of course, I would love to."
