[ ~ Chapter • Start ~ ]

Sill stood near a pile of leaves and wiped the sweat off her forehead, minding her business and humming a tune reminiscent of what Rance always whistles.

The song's name was "My Glorious Days", and when she asked Rance about that, he just answered "It's for a job very well done" and grinned.

Though, Sill wondered why was she the only one at this area and nobody else was near her.

Maybe her classmates have gone to the academy's building before her?

Before she could think of something else, she heard a whistle from where Rance usually was, and without much to do since she had already finished this chore, she decided to immediately jog towards the east of Paris Academy.

Meanwhile, a certain ninja has just recently arrived at Paris Academy through a hidden trapdoor and landed at a branch of a tree soundlessly.

"Target acquire- wait, where is the target going?" She spoke, before shaking her head out of her confusion and hopping out of the tree to chase after her target soundlessly.

She was quick, and this time, she was more quicker than she usually would as she had levelled herself to 30. The humiliation she felt from Rance a week ago pushed her to train harder, therefore in seconds, she had already reached her target.

Once she was close enough, the pink haired girl was knocked down to the ground with a swift motion of her hand. Reacting quickly, Kentou carried the barely conscious Sill on her shoulder and retreated.

While she retreated, Rance had already sneaked into the Academy and noticed two figures going into a foliage.

"I've got not a single time to waste and those guards are probably going to check this area because I think they saw someone enter this academy." Rance spoke, following the figures through the foliage.

Once he arrived in the middle of the foliage, he frowned.

[ ~ PoV Switch: Rance ~ ]

This might be troublesome, but I'll have to begin looking right now.

Hearing several footsteps from behind me, I realized that I am unable to turn back because those guardsmen were right behind me.

I've got to make this quick.

I began to approach the line of trees, crouching down so that I wouldn't be seen, and began to inspect the ground.

With keen eyes that I trained for years, I noticed a small square on the ground and a pair of broken glasses.

"Open sesame!" I spoke, focusing on the square before a gentle light engulfed it. It revealed itself as a trapdoor that has a ladder leading to what seemed to be a waterway below.

Oh, and about the spell? It's a useful spell that would be able to unlock doors, and even magically sealed doors. It doesn't exclude locked treasure chests,

Without much of a choice, I claimed down the ladder not before closing the hidden trapdoor to avoid suspicion and other things that may or will trouble me later.

Once I arrived at the waterway, I narrowed my eyes towards a direction where two figures were going.

Without wasting my time, I took out a knife from my backpack and unsheathed it, before throwing the knife towards the direction of the figures.

And in three seconds, I switched places with the knife before grabbing Sill by her uniform and forced her off of her kidnapper, whom I immediately recognized as Kentou herself.

When she turned around, her expression became that of anger and resentment towards me.

"Tch, you again...." She said, unsheathing out her tanto while facing me with an angry glare.

"Let me say, you're taking my girl to your princess, just so she could be happy torturing Sill, huh?" I spoke with some disappointment on my tone while I put the knocked out Sill down near the wall to rest, not once taking his eyes off of Kentou.

"I'm even disappointed that you had the guts to think you're strong enough to stop me from approaching Princess Lia and punishing her for her misdeeds, not like I needed to kill her because she's needed for the future of Leazas, when you're still weaker than me!" I continued with a sigh full of disappointment, knowing that just by a glance, her fighting style would consist of something akin to predictably trying to strike my vital spots.

... Which she already is doing right now.

I have to say, I did have to put some more effort into dodging only one attack before crouching down and hitting her solar plexus.

A swift and almost easy thing to do, as I took a step sideways to observe her kneeling down to the ground, holding her stomach.

"....Not.... again...." Kentou said with difficulty while her face was on the cold ground, and in order to not let her escape this time, I took out a capture rope that I would usually use against weakened Gal Monsters and tossed it towards her.

Once the rope touched her, it magically bound her in place, ass up, face down. A completely humiliating position for her. Oh, I wouldn't forget taking her equipment off her with some difficulty, too.

"Oi, Kunoichi-chan..... tell me where I can find Princess Lia quick, otherwise I would begin tormenting you.... with a riding crop hungry for pain."

I took out the [Riding Crop] from my backpack, and whipped a nearby boulder the size of half by leg with it, splitting the boulder in the process just before Kentou's bound body shook in fear.

I began to tear apart the clothing covering her butt, before noticing her frog themed underwear that almost made me chuckle.

I pushed it aside.

"You're not g-going to do 'that' aren't you?" Kentou said, showing her real emotions just before Rance grinned.

"Yes." I said bluntly with a stoic face.

[ H - Scene - Start ]

Without warning, I smacked Kentou's ass with the Riding crop's tip.

"Ahh!" Kentou screamed in pain, struggling without success as the capture rope held her in place.

Seeing this, I immediately pressed the tip of the crop on her clitoris and began to slowly move it around, stimulating it and in the process, making Kentou moan unwillingly.

It didn't help that she was struggling, and due to that, she's helping me with my job of tormenting her with pleasure until she reluctantly gives off important information.

"Oi, just tell me where should I go so that I could punish her, Kunoichi-chan."

"N-Never.... ngh!!!"

I smacked her pussy with the crop.

She would moan in pain, and maybe in pleasure, however I was quite unsatisfied because I barely could get the answer out of her mouth.

Therefore, I proceeded to impale Kentou's anus with my pointer and middle fingers and gave her an electric shock that she felt throughout her entire body.

"Ah!!! I'll -ngh! Tell you where -gah! she is!!! Please, stop!" Kentou pleaded, while still in the process of being shocked, before I stopped and took out a clean piece of clothing to wipe the fingers I used to anally assault her with electric shocks.

That was easy, even though her cunt was straight up quivering and juices were flowing from it.

[ H End ]

I put my crop back to my backpack, before looking at Sill, who was at the process of waking up.

"Urh.... what happened?" Sill spoke in a daze, rubbing her head before shaking it and noticing me. Even so, I have something to finish.

"So.... where should I go, Kunoichi-chan?" I asked Kentou, who looked reluctant.

"..... Just keep moving through the waterway, and if you see anything unusual, just go there until you arrive at the castle's interior." She reluctantly answered, sobbing afterwards while saying something about being forgiven by Princess Lia.

Looking towards Sill, she was standing up with obvious confusion on her face.

"Master Rance! Why are we here? And... who's that girl?" She asked, as I approached her.

"That's the one who kidnapped you. I punished her to find where the one who ordered her to kidnap several different girls, including Hikari and.... as of now, you." I replied just before she realized something.

"That means.... you've already found out who the suspect is?"

"Yep, and I do need you help."

I grabbed her hand, and we began to venture deep into the waterway, just before I carried Kentou with us in order to not let her be captured by Monsters who are coming our way.

Extra Information:

Skills: Everyone in The Continent is born with not just a Level Cap, but also with a skill, or multiple of them, or just none. Oh, and don't forget, they all have levels that don't go up or down meaning that Skill Levels are permanent. Nearly everything has a skill level such as cooking, cleaning, and etcetera.

Unlike regular levels, skill levels don't determine how strong someone is or can be but rather how talented they are for that skill. Someone with a Lv2 in Sword Combat is not stronger than someone with Lv1, he's just better at using a sword for combat. It doesn't even mean that the Lv2 user will always win over the Lv1, since levels are the ones that determine one's strength.

Every living being within the Planner Scenario has skill levels, no exception.

Level 1 - Normal skill expertise of a given skill. A professional with said skill.

Level 2 - A genius in a skill that astonishes all. Can even make their own unique abilities.

Level 3 - Legendary beings. Only a few individuals in history are level 3 and are the best of the best.

Level 4 skills don't really exist.

Technically, everyone has Level 0 skills, they're just rarely ever listed. That may mean that Rance has several tens, or hundreds more of skills he doesn't know he is actually utilizing at different times.

(What's above was mostly copied from the fandom wiki)

Fun Fact: While all people can also level up by training, Rance strangely doesn't level up while doing that. That might be related to one of his skills.
