Trapped as an NPC in a Dating Sim-Chapter 68: Professor Lyra summoned Soren to her office!

"Hmm?"

Soren paused briefly at her question, then smiled,

"Yeah, there is none as far as I know, but don’t worry. Professors aren’t the only ones with clubs, you know. There are guilds and influential figures behind, too."

"Not to mention the seniors who have years of experience in their field. I am sure I will find a good one."

In fact, Soren already knew which club he would join, or rather, which club he would try to join.

After all, while students were allowed to join as many clubs as they wanted, it wasn’t guaranteed that any club would accept them.

They could get rejected, too.

’And if I don’t want to get rejected, I must get the help of Aria Luna.’

After all, that person was here just because of her.

Thinking so, Soren faintly diverted his gaze, focusing on Aria, who quickly turned her head elsewhere the moment he looked at her.

It seemed her anger hadn’t disappeared yet.

’Is she still ignoring me?’

"Okay, enough chit-chatting and focus on me now. Although I know many of you already know by now what this programme is, I will briefly explain it for you."

Professor Lyra suddenly clapped her hands as she found the class far too noisy for her taste.

Then, once everyone calmed down and sat at their desks, she began to carefully explain.

Well, the content was basically the same, with nothing new that Soren didn’t know.

In just a minute, he got bored, his eyes darting around, inadvertently focusing on Aria, or rather, her long legs.

’Hmm?’

Surprisingly, he saw that Aria was actually wearing a skirt, a long one, but a skirt nonetheless.

In an instant, Soren’s lips curved upward with a faint smirk.

’Tch... tch... although she seemed angry outside, isn’t she still craving my touch?’

After the incident before, Soren got the impression that Aria was someone who could do anything in her jealousy, despite her timid nature.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come strong against Sylvia in the dungeon, hugging him without shyness.

Feeling a bit smug that his charm seemed to have finally come to some use against an elf, Soren slowly crept his hand onto Aria’s leg.

"Hmm?"

Sure enough, the moment Aria felt his touch, she jolted in surprise before looking at him, only to see his sly smile.

Then, she felt his warm hand moving around her skirt, going underneath in an instant, caressing her soft thighs expertly.

"~~Mmm~~"

Since this wasn’t the first time he had done this, before Aria could even react, she found his hand grabbing her bare thighs and caressing them.

Heck, she even felt him creeping closer and closer upward.

’This bastard!’

However, instead of accepting it as before, Aria, on the other hand, was furious.

In fact, Soren was completely wrong today.

Aria’s choice of skirt was entirely random, and she wasn’t inviting him at all.

Rather, she was genuinely angry and waiting for his apology.

An apology for kissing Sylvia in front of her. An apology for placing Sylvia before her...

And an apology for showing more concern toward Aurelia just now.

Yet instead of trying to coax her, this guy was shamelessly enjoying her thighs.

What did he think?

Did he believe she was so cheap that she would forgive him just like that, regardless of what he did?

A mixture of anger and grievance suddenly surged within Aria’s chest.

So, without hesitation, she grabbed Soren’s dishonest hand and pulled it away from her thigh.

"Hmm?"

Then, to Soren’s bewilderment, she looked at him with a dark, angry expression before her hand slowly travelled to his thigh instead.

Then—

"Ouch!"

Instead of caressing him as he did, Aria pinched his thigh extremely hard with her fingers, using all the strength she gained from levelling up.

She didn’t show an ounce of pity as she poured all her anger onto Soren’s flesh.

"Ouch... ouch... Hey Aria... stop!"

In fact, she used so much force that Soren immediately broke into a cold sweat as a sharp pain shot through his thigh, more painful than anything he had felt before.

Even when his legs were broken earlier, he didn’t feel this much pain, as Aria was truly ruthless.

Unable to endure it, Soren finally spoke a little loudly, instantly attracting Professor Lyra’s attention.

By this time, Aria also realised what she had done and quickly withdrew her hand from Soren’s thigh.

Unfortunately, the damage was already done and couldn’t be undone just like that.

Soren was on the verge of crying from the intense pain in his thigh that he didn’t even notice Professor Lyra’s gaze.

Instead, he tried to use his mana to ease the pain in his pinched thigh, which might have swollen and turned red beneath his trousers.

’Damn this girl. What the heck does she want to do?’

Soren was cursing Aria when suddenly a heavy aura pressed down on his body, and a cold voice entered his ears, as if coming from the depths of hell.

"Student Soren Kingswell... you come to my office after this class."

The voice belonged to Professor Lyra as her cold gaze was focused on him, along with all the students.

Although they didn’t know what happened, they still heard Soren’s cry.

Especially Aurelia, Sylvia and Evan, they heard more clearly than anyone else, their gazes focusing on Aria and Soren with confusion.

Feeling their gazes, Aria was so scared that she didn’t dare look at them, keeping her eyes fixed on the front.

Her heart was beating so fast that she didn’t even feel this nervous while fighting.

’What should I do? What should I do? Did the professor find out what happened?’

She was already panicking inside, thinking Soren would get into serious trouble because of her.

Although she was angry with him, it wasn’t her intention to put him in trouble.

Unfortunately, she was so frightened that her mind went blank. She could only sit uncomfortably in her seat, silently praying that everything would be over.

Now, she didn’t feel angry with Soren anymore. Rather, she felt so guilty that she wanted to cry but had no tears.

She didn’t know when her behaviour changed so much.

Before, she couldn’t even speak properly, but in just a few days, she became so audacious that she dared play around in a classroom.

Why did she change so much?
