Trapped as an NPC in a Dating Sim-Chapter 69: Soren was Caught by Lyra!

"Hmm... a unique dungeon, huh. You are quite lucky. No wonder your class evolved to an A rank."

Inside one of the academy’s tall buildings, Professor Lyra sat behind her office desk, her curious eyes fixed on the young man standing before her.

Sunlight filtered through the large window behind her, spilling over her elegant figure and gently accentuating the generous curve of her bosom, giving her calm presence a quietly captivating charm.

"And was that skill the one you awakened after your class evolution?"

Lyra asked Soren, to which he nodded lightly but did not say which rank it was.

Fortunately, Professor Lyra did not ask further either.

"Okay, that’s great then. It seems your potential as a hunter has increased by one rank. Congratulations!"

Lyra showed a genuine smile before giving him a shiny silver token from her inventory.

"What is this?"

Soren was a bit stunned by the token, but Lyra immediately explained,

"This is a D-rank clearance token given to you by Darius, your spoil of war from yesterday."

Lyra explained, and after Soren accepted it, she lightly warned,

"Although with this token you can now enter any D-rank dungeon within government authority, I suggest not using it immediately. Let’s first complete the upcoming practical training before you decide."

Lyra paused and continued,

"An E-rank and D-rank dungeon are not on the same level. Remember, while the level of the dungeon increases linearly, the difficulty, on the other hand, increases exponentially."

"Don’t be too complacent just because you conquered two E-rank dungeons. In fact, with how injured you were yesterday, I guess you know the danger. Don’t let down your guard."

"Yeah, Professor, I will make sure to prepare thoroughly before going inside any dungeon."

Soren nodded immediately.

Of course, he knew how dangerous they were.

In fact, this time his plan was to level up in the Hunting Field vigorously along with his team.

He would also make sure to complete a few quests and gain a few rewards from his system as a backup.

’Too bad, I still cannot see any way to complete the Quest of Professor Lyra.’

Soren thought bitterly, his gaze briefly drifting toward Lyra’s impressive cleavage while she was focused on the papers on her desk.

Even now, he had no idea how he was supposed to nudge his head onto those huge bosoms of hers.

’Maybe I have to find ways to get close to her during this practical training.’

Just as Soren was thinking randomly and was about to withdraw his gaze from that white mass, Professor Lyra suddenly lifted her head, meeting his eyes head-on.

"..."

"..."

For a moment, both of them went silent as Soren realized that she might have caught him looking there.

Even so, he showed no fear. Instead, he looked into Professor Lyra’s beautiful eyes as innocently as before.

It was as if his eyes had simply wandered without any particular motive, as if he had not been thinking anything improper about her.

In fact, Soren’s eyes did not even show the slightest hint of nervousness under the professor’s gaze.

He was just too good.

"Cough... Okay, take this with you. There is some information about the clubs I support in the academy."

In the end, it was poor Professor Lyra who broke the silence with a light cough before handing him the paper from her desk.

"Although your class is archery, I think it will be helpful during this training. You can take a look."

She said, to which Soren immediately showed gratitude while accepting the paper.

"Thank you, Professor! I will surely make good use of this information."

"Okay then, you can leave now."

Seeing how calm Soren appeared, Professor Lyra rolled her eyes before waving her hand. She felt that Soren really was a proper scumbag.

’No wonder he managed to woo three girls in just a few days.’

She thought, losing interest in scolding him. From his expression, he probably would not admit his wrongdoing.

"However, next time, don’t play around in my classroom. I won’t be as lenient as today."

But that did not mean she forgot about today’s incident. Lyra still gave a faint warning in a cold voice to Soren and only allowed him to leave after he nodded. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

...

’Damn, that was close.’

Soren left Lyra’s office, his heart beating a bit wild. When Lyra’s eyes focused on him before, he thought he was done for.

But it seemed she had a good impression of him, or rather his talent; she didn’t say anything.

’Welp... for her, I might just be a student who is filled with hormones.’

Soren could understand her thoughts.

"S-Soren... y-you’re out? Did P-Professor say anything?"

Just as Soren left and was heading towards the classroom, a soft, timid voice stopped him in his tracks.

"Hmm?"

When he turned to look, surprisingly, it came from Aria Luna, his little elf.

"Why are you here?"

For a moment, he got confused, only to realize something after seeing her moist and anxious eyes.

Not to mention her guilty figure walking around the Professor’s building.

’Is she... worried about me?’

"S-Soren... I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to pinch you so strongly. Did P-Professor Lyra see us? W-What did she say?"

Aria stuttered, her eyes lowering on their own.

To be honest, after her anger calmed down, Aria realized what she had done in her jealousy.

Although she was angry, she shouldn’t have used too much force.

She couldn’t help but feel a little guilty as she thought Soren might get punished badly this time by the professor.

Unable to calm down, she came here to help him testify when she saw Soren returning from the office already.

"Oh? She just gave me a warning, nothing else. Don’t worry."

Soren could see her thoughts in her beautiful eyes and smiled lightly, his body naturally getting closer to Aria.

"She just told me not to play around in class anymore, that’s all."

"Is that so? Thank god. I was afraid that something would happen to you."

Aria breathed a sigh of relief while placing her hand on her ample chest. She was really relieved as her whole tense body relaxed.

"What will happen to me? Rather than that, aren’t you going to apologize to me already? Do you know how painful that pinch of yours was?"

In her relief, Aria didn’t notice a faint smirk playing around Soren’s lips, his eyes scanning their surroundings rapidly.

"Hmm? Why will I apologize? It was you who played with my legs."

"What do you mean by that? You were wearing a skirt, weren’t you?"

"What does that have to do with anything? Wait... did you think I was seducing you?"

Aria’s eyes widened instantly as she pouted once again in anger.

"Soren, you are the worst."

If before, she somehow forgave him, now she was angry again.

Furious, she just wanted to turn around and leave, when Soren directly grabbed her shoulder and pushed her against the wall behind.

"Eekk...."

Aria was totally stunned and wanted to shout when she found his face directly against hers, so close that she could feel his breath against her face, just like in the training room.

"S-Soren... w-what are you doing?"
