As soon as Anon's voice reached Frank's ears, a smile spread across his face.
"I'll go and prepare some more slave contracts then," Frank said, rising from his seat and walking away.
Anon smiled, satisfied with the response, as he watched Frank depart.
Growing bored, Anon retrieved a cigar from his inventory and prepared to light it. But before he could take a puff, a hand snatched the cigar from his mouth brutally.
"You're not allowed to smoke inside the academy, Commoner," a voice admonished.
Anger surged through Anon. His eyes turned red, and his head throbbed with rage and veins popped up. He had this sudden urge to sever the hand from its owner with one blow.
Yet, a woman's scent wafted to his nose, calming his tumultuous emotions. Anon regained control and looked up, a smile playing on his lips.
To his surprise, he beheld a woman with purple hair and matching eyes. Her beauty captivated him—the medium-sized eyes, the slender nose, and the small mouth. A mole adorned her chin, and her fair skin radiated a soft glow. Her figure boasted medium-sized breasts and a shapely derriere.
She looked like a fairy from the fairytales.
Anon felt an inexplicable attraction towards her, a blossoming of love in his heart. He never felt something similar before.
"What is this feeling?" Anon pondered, his gaze fixed on the girl.
Suddenly, the demon crest on Anon's hand began to shine bright golden and heat started generating on it, suddenly a message materialized before him.
[Opponent has used a hidden skill (Charm).]
[You are under the effect of hidden skill(Charm).]
[Hidden skill (Charm) has been found and nullified due to class Cerebraxis.]
All the emotions flooding Anon's heart vanished instantly. He felt nothing towards the girl anymore and anger again surged in his mind but he controlled it again.
"Isn't she Lui from the SMG?" a student remarked, eyeing the girl.
"You mean from the Student Management Group?" another student inquired.
"They say she can make Commoner boys dance like dogs without even touching them, as a punishment for breaking academy rules."
Anon listened attentively, piecing together how she had made the boys dance.
'So, you're playing games with the shark in the water, huh ? You dare use a mind control skill on me ? Now pay the fucking price girl.' Anon thought, chuckling to himself.
"Oh, you think this is funny, huh?" the girl snapped, her expression one of fury.
Anon decided to play along and spoke, mesmerized, "You look so beautiful."
"Really?" the girl responded, a smile gracing her face.
[I thought my skill wouldn't work on him, but it did. Now I have another dog for my collection. Let me show you where you stand, Anon. Defeating my charm is impossible, even if you've defeated many nobles before. I will make you dance like a fucking dog.]
Unbeknownst to her, Anon heard every thought she had.
A sly smirk emerged on his face.
"Stand up," she commanded as she backed off a bit.
"Yes," Anon complied, playing his part.
"Now, get on all fours and spin around three times. Then, bark like a dog three times," she ordered.
Anon's expression shifted, his smile widening, and his eyes gleaming with vibrant purple.
<Hypnosis>
Lui's eyes briefly shimmered purple before returning to normal.
'Give me the cigar,' Anon commanded silently.
Lui promptly handed the cigar back to Anon, her face devoid of expression.
'Now do as you ordered me a moment ago.'
"Yes," Lui replied, dropping to all fours. Her pink panties were exposed to the onlooking students.
She spun on the ground like a subservient pup, completing the action three times.
Bark Bark Bark
She barked like a bitch, shaking her ass as she looked at Anon.
"Good," Anon said, patting her head.
<Hypnosis Time Over>
"Huh...?" Lui suddenly realized what she had done, scrambling to her feet.
"You—you, I'll deal with you later. Sob-Sob," she stammered, tears streaming down her face as she ran away.
"Just remember, who started it," Anon retorted, once again placing the cigar between his lips and igniting a fireball on his middle finger to light it.
"Anon, forget about it. You can't smoke inside the academy, or they'll disqualify you for doping," Letti chimed in, appearing from behind.
"What nonsense? I smoked one in Eldoria," Anon replied.
"Yeah, because you were in Eldoria then. Now you're in the academy, so no smoking. I don't want to lose this round due to some stupid reason," Letti explained.
"Fine, if you say so," Anon acquiesced, crushing the lit cigar beneath his foot.
"Now, what's the plan?" Anon inquired.
Just as he spoke, Seti and Ren arrived on the scene.
"Frank quit the race, and they're offering a No Skill Run," Letti informed them.
"What's that?" Anon asked.
"In this race, you won't use any skills, and Ren won't use any skills while running," Letti explained.
"What? Crossing a continent without using skills? It'll take us days," Anon responded.
"No, it won't. They plan on using dopes," Letti clarified.
"You mean drugs?" Anon questioned.
"Yes, but they'll boost his physical abilities by 100 times. He'll be stronger than when using a skill. We'll be at a huge disadvantage because dopes are expensive, and we can't afford them. That's why they're proposing this—trying to win through money. Say no, and I'll handle the rest of the paperwork, and..." Letti was interrupted by Anon suddenly.
"What if I want to say yes?" Anon said, his smile growing wider.
"What? Are you kidding me? It's alright to be crazy sometimes, but this is just plain stupid. Do you even have any dopes? Do you know how much a lower-quality physical boosting dope costs?" Letti asked.
Anon promptly opened his inventory and produced a special-grade doping shot. It shimmered with a light blue hue, encased in a golden-coated glass bottle.
"How about now?" Anon inquired, a smile still adorning his face. Letti, on the other hand, fell silent, her complexion paling at the sight before her.
