Vincent is currently in big trouble. Right now, he is sitting in an empty classroom chair with his hands tied.
A dark blue-haired girl is in front of him, preparing something on the table. It is a syringe with green liquid inside.
Seeing the sharp object, Vincent's face turned pale and he tried to wriggle free. But alas, he couldn't free his hands, which were tightly bound behind the bench.
"This is the price you have to pay, Vincent. This is the price for your victory this afternoon."
***
This afternoon, the final dodgeball tournament was still ongoing.
Three participants, Perseus Reiss, Iris Winterbourne, and Vincent Fortis stood, preparing the balls in their hands to throw. They stood in a triangular formation.
Glancing at each other, sweat dripped from their faces, falling from their chins to their chests.
Tense. Even the spectators and Ms. Sheila, the referee of this fierce dodgeball tournament's final duel, were silent. Their eyes were wide open, waiting for the silence to be broken by the three people on the field who were preparing to shoot their opponent like a cowboy duel.
"Hmm. Vincent Fortis. Iris Winterbourne. Whoever among you wins, you will get an additional prize. My chance of winning is 33%. How about we make a deal?"
Perseus, the girl with long dark blue hair tied in a high ponytail, said with a mysterious smile.
"What are you planning? Perseus."
Iris replied. The voice of the girl who rarely spoke sounded as cold as her appearance, the snow princess. She was never seen smiling or angry or showing any other emotions. But, in front of Perseus, for some reason, there was a hint of anger in her face, though it was not obvious.
Vincent watched her, he just stayed silent, waiting for what kind of deal Perseus would offer.
"We'll settle this in one throw. And the winner will grant one request from the loser."
"Huh?" Vincent seemed to have misheard. "Why should the winner fulfill the loser's request?"
"Alright."
Iris accepted the deal without much thought. That made Vincent furrow his brows.
Is Iris planning to lose? Or is Perseus planning to catch us both off guard?
"How about you, Vincent, do you want to join this agreement?" Perseus looked at Vincent with a mysterious smile.
Vincent nodded once. "But I will win. I won't let either of you be the winner."
"Confident. Good. We'll start throwing our balls in three seconds."
As soon as Perseus finished saying that, Vincent, Iris, and Perseus had the same thought, which was to throw exactly when Perseus counted "One."
Vincent threw the ball at Perseus, as did Iris, while Perseus threw her ball at Iris.
Perseus's ball hit Iris first, then after that, she caught the ball Iris threw, and let Vincent's ball hit her body.
Two people were eliminated. Perseus and Iris lost in an instant and the winner was Vincent, who remained.
Beep! Beep! Beepppp!!!
"With this, the winner of the dodgeball tournament is Vincent Fortis from class D!" Ms. Sheila exclaimed after blowing her whistle. The spectators immediately cheered and applauded enthusiastically. Reinhart and Gregor ran towards Vincent.
"Vincent, don't forget our agreement. With this, Iris and I can ask one request from you."
Perseus, the dark blue-haired girl, smiled mysteriously then turned around and left the field towards her classmates.
Iris also looked at Vincent with a serious face and showed the same words as Perseus from her gaze. Before she walked away to the side of the field to get a drink of water.
"What exactly are they both planning? They deliberately lost for that agreement. What things they gonna ask from me?"
Vincent was still standing silently in the middle of the field, thinking, before Gregor bumped into his back and slammed him to the ground, ruffling his hair playfully.
"Good job, buddy! With this, we are the best guy team this school has ever seen!"
Gregor exclaimed enthusiastically, making Reinhart laugh happily. Vittoria, Aria, and the class president, Emma, approached Vincent.
"With this, our class will get a special prize from Ms. Sheila!" Aria said cheerfully, before her words would make her regret it.
In Class D, Ms. Sheila distributed a drink made from blended bananas with a mixture of protein powder, vitamins, and a little milk plus a little oat cereal.
Although Reinhart was from Class A, because he was Vincent's teammate, he specifically received the same special prize as everyone in Class D.
"This is my special protein drink! You must drink it, and your muscles will develop, and you will become strong!"
Ms. Sheila said excitedly in front of the class while the students in Class D (except Marian, who immediately drank it all) hesitantly raised their glasses containing Ms. Sheila's homemade protein drink.
Some tried to take a small sip, and they immediately spat it back into the glass.
"Hehe, even though it doesn't taste very good and little strange, I guarantee it! My drink will help your breasts grow!" Ms. Sheila said, winking.
Hearing that, Vittoria and several other girls immediately drank the contents of their glasses without hesitation. Even so, they immediately felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but they held it in.
Aria tried to drink it little by little. Before she asked permission to go to the bathroom and empty her stomach.
Gregor was forced to drink by the girl next to him. Meanwhile, Reinhart drank his glass normal without feeling anything.
Vincent, seeing the reactions of his classmates, most of them were nauseous and vomiting, hesitated to drink the large glass—special for him because he was the MVP of today's dodgeball tournament—on his table.
Many faces stared at Vincent, waiting for him to drink the glass he held with trembling hands.
"Alright... this is nothing..."
Afterward, he went to the bathroom and emptied his stomach.

As he was about to go home, Vincent met Perseus. Perseus invited Vincent to an empty classroom. There was only one chair and table in the middle of the empty room.
"Sit in that chair."
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Sit in that chair."
Perseus said firmly with a serious gaze. Vincent reluctantly sat in the chair because he didn't want to cause any trouble with Perseus.
"Now what?" Vincent looked at Perseus, who was walking behind him, with an annoyed expression. "My friends are waiting outside. If you want something, say it quickly. I will only accept the request if it's not excessive and still within normal limits."
Perseus stood behind Vincent. "Alright, this is my request. Put both your hands behind you. I just want to touch your palms."
"My palms? That's all?" Vincent turned his head back with one eyebrow raised. "You're not going to do anything weird, are you?"
"Don't worry. I keep my word."
Nodding hesitantly, Vincent then put both his hands behind the chair. Vincent could feel Perseus's smooth and warm palms on his own.
"Done?"
Before he suddenly felt something, which was a rope that Perseus quickly tied around both his wrists.
"W-wait! This isn't the agreement we made! Let go—"
Perseus put her index finger to Vincent's lips to tell him to be quiet.
"Yes, you just fulfilled my request."
"Then quickly untie me! Why are you tying me up, Perseus?!" Vincent wriggled like a worm from side to side, trying to loosen the tight bonds that tied his hands behind the chair. Vincent couldn't believe he could be fooled so easily by Perseus's request. He couldn't read what was on the mind of that blue-haired girl whose hair now hung straight down to her waist.
Perseus raised a syringe filled with green liquid, she pressed the plunger to show a little green liquid coming out of the needle.
"You're not going to do anything dangerous, are you? Tell me what's in that syringe." Vincent's face turned pale and he started to sweat coldly. He tried to control his breathing to stay calm and hoped Perseus wasn't the crazy girl he was imagining right now. "Are you going to kill me?"
Perseus walked closer to Vincent, smiling mysteriously. She then sat on Vincent's lap. So there was almost no distance between their bodies. Perseus's large, soft breasts, tightly encased in her uniform white shirt, would have touched Vincent's chest if Perseus had moved just one finger closer.
She lifted Vincent's face so they could lock gazes.
"This is the price you have to pay, Vincent. This is the price for your victory this afternoon."
Then Perseus injected the contents of the syringe in her right hand into her own left hand. The entire green liquid was injected into Perseus's body through the vein in her left arm.
Vincent was confused by Perseus's crazy behavior at the moment.
"What are you really planning for me, Perseus? Why are you injecting yourself instead?"
Perseus then dropped the syringe to the floor.
"Do you know what the Reiss family is, Vincent?"
Vincent shook his head. He only knew that the Reiss family was one of the famous noble families, just like the Winterbourne family.
"The Reiss family is a noble family that mostly has businesses in the health and pharmaceutical fields. All the hospitals and pharmacies in this city belong to my family. In addition, the Reiss family also actively participates in military projects by conducting various biological experiments."
Vincent became even more confused hearing this. He tried to remain calm, seeing Perseus's face starting to turn an unnatural red. A redness that appeared due to heat and hormones. In other words, aroused.
Perseus's breathing became heavier and more rapid. Her gaze looked melted and intoxicated as she stared at Vincent's face.
"Don't tell me the contents of that syringe are..."
"That's right~ A low-dose aphrodisiac~"
Perseus smiled as she licked her lips. Her saliva accidentally dripped from the corner of her thin, pink, sexy lips and fell from her chin onto Vincent's chest.
"Perseus, stop this! I can't do this with you! I promised not to do it until I can be responsible and am an adult!"
Vincent squirmed, trying to free himself from Perseus, but Perseus sitting on his lap made Vincent unable to do anything. Perseus was still smiling with an aroused face and looking at Vincent like delicious food. Meanwhile, Vincent's face was like a chihuahua shivering in fear.
"Hehehe~ fufufu~ you're so cute, Vincent. Don't worry~ I won't do anything to you~"
Perseus's voice and behavior changed 180 degrees. Vincent furrowed his brows even more in confusion. He felt something warm and wet touching the dragon that was eager to escape its cage.
"I'm actually~ the youngest child of the Reiss family~ my family raised me very strictly and harshly so that I would appear perfect in people's eyes~ I've worked so hard! Even though I just wanted to hear praise from my parents~ but they were so cruel to me!~ I want to be pampered~ I want to be pampered~ I want to be pampered~"
Perseus said in a high-pitched and cute tone. She also acted like a little girl having a tantrum. Gently hitting Vincent's chest. In some ways, Vincent sympathized with her, he knew how strict the education of noble families was because the slightest mistake or anything that dared to tarnish their family name would result in punishment. This was to preserve the honor of their name.
Fortunately, Vincent was just the son of a large company owner. Not a noble family. He knew this because he had some noble friends like Perseus in elementary school. And they really looked different. They looked perfect on the outside.
But in reality, inside, they were as Perseus said just now. Inside there was fragility and loneliness behind their perfect daily behavior.
"My parents only care about my older siblings who are already successful in their lives.. I'm just a useless little girl in their eyes.. that's why they never praise me no matter how good my efforts are.."
Vincent remained silent. Perseus lowered her face and rested one side of her face on Vincent's chest.
"I'm sorry Vincent, I just want to vent my complaints to you.. I think you will understand my feelings and let me be like this for a while.."
After Perseus said that, she cried while hugging Vincent tightly to her chest.
