Chapter 13 - Chapter 13: Mid-Month Assessment

Caleb gently guided the shy Lilith Takamine, positioning her next to the breathless Chloe Takamine.

On the narrow single bed, a busty beauty with a purple ponytail lay on the left, and a busty beauty with pink twin tails lay on the right.

Caleb looked at the beautiful scene before him, his heart heating up uncontrollably.

The sisters differed greatly in personality, but both perfectly inherited their mother Kasumi Takamine's excellent looks and figure: delicate features, ample breasts, long legs, a slender waist, and a peachy butt.

Putting the two together, both wearing expressions of desperate craving…

Who could resist that?

Caleb pounced onto Chloe Takamine. With a cry of feminine satisfaction, the two became one again. While vigorously pumping into Chloe, he leaned over and kissed the spring-eyed Lilith Takamine.

[Ding, Talent Detected: Flexibility]

[Starting Copy...]

Hearing the familiar notification, Caleb's stamina and intensity increased once more. Chloe, who had been struggling to keep up, finally gave in, her body relaxing completely after a final tension.

Caleb's little buddy enjoyed the squeezing massage and decided to release its vital essence in a rush of intense heat.

[Copy Successful]

[Gained Talent: Flexibility]

[Talent Description: Increases bodily softness, coordination, and agility]

The fifth talent was successfully acquired.

After a brief moment of intimacy with Chloe, Caleb rolled over onto the already-ready Lilith Takamine.

It was her first time, too, but the introverted Lilith unexpectedly proved to have better raw physical aptitude than Chloe. Simply put, she was more aroused, more intense, and easier to dominate.

Caleb got excited and couldn't help but increase his intensity, vigorously kneading the soft, delicate flesh with his hands, leaving bright red marks. Surprisingly, Lilith didn't seem to feel pain. Instead, her face flushed deeper, and she quickly reached her first climax.

This contrast excited Caleb greatly. A sense of conquest and pleasure washed over him simultaneously, and his little buddy injected its essence once more.

The only drawback was that the sisters shared the same talent, so Caleb did not gain a new one this time. Chloe was the star of the swimming team, and Lilith was a key player on the rhythmic gymnastics team. Their excellent performance was undoubtedly due in large part to the Flexibility talent.

Talents are essentially a person's innate aptitude. Just as some people are naturally suited for academics, others are born able to form relationships easily. However, if an aptitude isn't exceptionally prominent, it's just called being good at something; it doesn't qualify as a Talent.

Since he fully claimed the Takamine sisters, Caleb's life had turned completely sensual.

At school, Reina Hamasaki and the other three girls tried to drain him at every opportunity. Back home, the Takamine sisters fought over him, often ending up with all three sleeping in the same bed.

If the Body Vitalization and Flexibility talents hadn't merged, upgrading into the more powerful Intermediate Physical Mastery, Caleb truly might not have been able to handle it.

Focusing on Intermediate Physical Mastery, the talent description appeared:

[Intermediate Physical Mastery: Complete control over the body's muscles]

To put it plainly, with this talent, Caleb could maintain his erection whenever he wanted.

Ahem…

To phrase it more professionally: Caleb would not waste a single shred of energy in combat. If he was previously a strength-focused berserker with power but no finesse, he was now an All-Round Warrior with both endurance and technique.

May 17th, Thursday.

"Uesugi, you can go home first today."

Reina Hamasaki slung her backpack over her shoulder and walked toward the club activity building. The other three girls greeted Caleb and followed her.

"Huh..."

Caleb was puzzled. Were Reina and the others planning to join a club?

In Japan, high school implemented "fun-based education," meaning school finished early and homework was minimal. Even at the elite private Kuoh Academy, students were not forced to study excessively. Private schools merely offered a more dedicated faculty, a better campus environment, and slightly more advanced knowledge. Students who wanted to seriously study could do so without needing extra cram schools.

Since the Takamine sisters had club activities, Caleb would be bored at home alone. So, he decided to follow them.

"Excuse me, but only club members are allowed here."

Following them all the way to the top floor of the club activity building, Caleb was stopped at the stairwell by two girls wearing the Student Council's red armbands.

Caleb looked innocent and asked softly, "Senpai, what club is this?"

Looking at his harmless, young boy appearance, the taller girl with red-framed glasses said, "You must be new. This area is restricted; only members of the Occult Research Club or the Student Council can enter."

"But I saw some people go in just now," Caleb said, feigning confusion. "One of them is my classmate. She doesn't seem to be in that club or the Student Council."

"That's because today is the Mid-Month Assessment. They are special…"

"Hey, do you want the President to punish you?"

The other girl, who hadn't spoken, interrupted the bespectacled girl sharply. "It's fine if you make a mistake, but don't drag me into it."

"Ah… sorry."

The girl with glasses stuck out her tongue apologetically, trying to play it off cutely.

The serious girl rolled her eyes and turned to Caleb.

"Kōhai, forget everything that just happened. There is nothing here. Now, turn around, go downstairs, and leave."

As she spoke, a red glow flashed in her eyes.

Caleb felt a dizzy spell in his mind, and subconsciously began to do as she said.

Just as he turned around, his blurry consciousness seemed to clear up, and he was no longer affected by the unknown power.

His steps paused for a moment, and Caleb continued walking down the stairs.

He felt relieved only after he left the club activity building. Clearly, the two Student Council girls were not ordinary people. If he hadn't possessed the Mental Resistance talent, he might not have realized he'd been influenced until he was back home.

Mid-Month Assessment... Special...

Combining the bespectacled girl's words with the intelligence he had about the Underworld Academy, Caleb roughly guessed what Reina and the other three were doing. Like regular students, Underworld Academy students also had assessments. Ordinary students who failed exams had to take make-up tests, and the Underworld Academy was probably similar.

He just didn't know what the Underworld Academy was testing: Combat strength? Magic power? Or some other aspect?

After thinking for a moment, Caleb decided to go home and pretend he knew nothing. Reina and the others knew he wasn't ordinary, but they were deliberately hiding this fact, so they must have a plan.

Caleb currently didn't want to actively engage with the Underworld yet, as that would make him seem to have ulterior motives. Besides, before formally entering the path of cultivation, he could copy more talents. Higher talent likely meant preferential treatment and resources. Any academy or sect would prioritize students or disciples with outstanding innate abilities.

"It's still early. I might as well scout for more targets."

Caleb smiled and walked toward the building where the sports clubs were located.
