Chapter 86: What? If you hit her, she’ll feel it too?

“I… I’m not playing! Meow!”

That thought exploded in her head.

Lilia’s body had already moved first.

She jumped off the bed and rushed toward the door barefoot.

‘Magic attacks turning into sensory stimulation? What kind of messed-up game is this!’

‘If I fight Lucia, wouldn’t that mean letting this pervert play with my body in all sorts of ways? I absolutely cannot accept this!’

Her hand was just about to touch the cold doorknob when Lucia’s calm voice drifted from behind her.

“I told you, you have no right to refuse here.”

The moment the words fell, Lilia felt the soft flesh on the back of her neck grabbed by an invisible giant hand and yanked backward.

She flew through the air uncontrollably, tracing an arc before being tossed back onto that massive Black Silk Bed with a thud.

She sank deep into the mattress before it bounced back slightly.

As Lilia struggled to get up, a pair of long black boots stopped at the bedside.

Lucia stood there, her shadow completely enveloping her.

“You lunatic! Demon! Meow!”

Lilia looked up and shouted with all her might.

“What on earth do you want? Meow!”

“Class.”

Lucia sat down by the bed.

The black silk sheets dipped slightly under her weight.

“This is the most efficient teaching method. It will allow you to learn how to precisely control your mana in the shortest amount of time. And…”

She paused. “…your body.”

‘Bullshit! This is clearly just the pervert finding a new way to entertain herself!’

Lilia trembled with rage, but she couldn’t utter a single word in rebuttal.

“Stop wasting time. Let’s begin.”

Lucia raised her hand and snapped her fingers softly.

Whir —

Countless intersecting purple patterns lit up on the room’s black stone walls, enveloping the entire bedroom.

A Closed Arena belonging only to the two of them was formed.

“I’ll state the rules once more,” Lucia’s voice echoed in the quiet room.

“You will use all your magic to attack me; I will only defend. If I block your attack or you fail to hit me, you will receive a ‘Sensory Punishment.’ The type and intensity of the punishment will be random.”

Lilia’s heart sank to the bottom.

As expected, it was another script where she was unilaterally toyed with.

Just as she was about to give up and accept her fate, Lucia’s next words made her whole body shudder.

“Of course, if you can hit me…”

A hint of interest colored Lucia’s voice.

“I will also receive the same ‘sensory stimulation’.”

‘What?’

Lilia froze, her heterochromatic gold and blue eyes widening suddenly.

‘This rule… it applies to me too?’

‘If… if I hit Lucia… then would this pervert, this eternal iceberg, also twitch from being shocked? Would she roll around the floor from itching? Or even…’

An image flashed through Lilia’s mind: Lucia’s perpetually icy face flushing red because of strange sensations.

Gasping for air, unable to maintain her aloof composure…

‘Just once! If I can make her taste that sensation just once, all the humiliation I suffered today will be worth it!’

A surge of hot blood rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

Lilia felt all her fur stand on end.

“What? Interested now?”

Lucia chuckled, seeing her sudden burst of fighting spirit.

“I… I’m not! Meow!”

Lilia refused to admit it, but her body had already sat upright.

She crossed her legs and took a combat stance.

Even if she lost the fight, she wouldn’t lose her spirit!

“I’m ready to start anytime! Meow!” She tilted her small face up, her voice much louder.

“Good.”

Lucia nodded and raised her hand, casually sweeping it in front of her.

A translucent Purple Light Membrane appeared before her.

It was a thin layer that looked like it would break with a single poke.

It was this disdainful look that made Lilia’s rage burn even brighter.

She took a deep breath, concentrating all her attention on her fingertips.

She channeled the mana inside her — which wasn’t exactly abundant after her promotion to the Second Tier.

A ball of orange-red flame ignited in her palm.

Not enough!

Lilia gritted her teeth.

She desperately compressed more mana into the Fireball.

This Fireball wasn’t just magic.

It carried all her anger, resentment, and her newly ignited hope for revenge! The fireball continued to shrink in size, but its color grew deeper.

It went from orange-red to bright white, finally even gaining a glint of piercing pale blue.

The surrounding air distorted from the high temperature.

This was her limit!

‘Hit her! Meow!’

Lilia roared in her heart, using all her strength to hurl the extremely compressed Fireball at Lucia!

That small, terrifyingly bright Fireball traced a straight trajectory through the air and accurately collided with that thin Purple Light Membrane.

There was no expected loud bang.

The moment the Fireball struck, it vanished silently.

The violent energy was completely swallowed by that membrane.

The flames dissipated.

Lucia was still sitting there perfectly fine.

Not even a corner of her clothes had moved.

Lilia’s movements froze.

The light in her eyes died out.

‘As expected… it still won’t work?’

This absolute gap in strength left her unable to breathe.

Just as despair was about to swallow her — an extremely faint, strange sensation suddenly surged from the base of her upturned tail without any warning.

“Meow?!”

Lilia’s body suddenly stiffened.

The feeling was strange.

It wasn’t pain, nor was it an itch.

It was as if something invisible inside her body was crawling up her tail, inch by inch, along the roots of her fur.

A tingling numbness made the fur at the tip of her tail stand on end.

A wave of heat rose along her spine.

“Wh… what is this feeling? Meow?”

Lilia’s voice cracked.

She turned her head to look at her tail but couldn’t see anything.

However, the sensation grew clearer and more unrestrained.

“First punishment: ‘Formication,'” Lucia’s voice rang out flatly.

“It seems your luck is quite good. You drew the mildest one.”

Lilia’s face flushed bright red with a whoosh.

‘Formication? What kind of punishment is this! This is clearly molestation!’

She wanted to reach out and scratch it, but since the feeling came from her nerve endings, there was nowhere to scratch.

She could only clamp her tail tight, her body trembling slightly.

She desperately endured that strange sensation that made her face flush, her heart race, and her almost cry out.

“Shall we continue?”

Lucia looked at her leisurely.

“O… Of course! Meow!”

Lilia gritted her teeth, practically squeezing the words out.

She raised her hand again and began to gather mana once more.

She didn’t believe it! If once wasn’t enough, then ten times! If ten times weren’t enough, then 100 times!

Today, she was determined to hit this pervert!
