Lyra Veymont wasnât the type to pry into othersâ private matters. She was a very professional teacher who focused only on teaching her students and nothing else.
As long as they listened calmly and didnât do anything improper in her class, she didnât care what a student did in their personal life.
That wasnât her concern, was it?
"Sigh... okay, student Soren... although I donât know if I am crossing a boundary here, I cannot help but ask..."
"Soren... are you... a Playboy?"
And yet, she just couldnât help but ask Soren an odd question that had been lingering in her mind all this time.
Well, at least from an hour ago, when she accidentally saw Soren with one of the twin daughters in his tent, sitting on his lap affectionately.
To her defense, she wasnât peeping inside. She just caught them accidentally when she was conveying the principalâs order, nothing else.
But still...
âHe didnât even leave the daughter of the Director of the National Hunter Association alone?â
That was her thought at that time. She was already shocked by Sorenâs boldness in being intimate with Aurelia before.
But now there was another one. And it seemed he also had two other girls in his team, from what she could tell.
The most glaring part of this was that most of those girls had extraordinary backgrounds.
Wasnât this guy afraid that someone would find out?
As much as Lyra wanted to leave him be, thinking about his importance, she felt that she should at least try to warn him before it was too late.
"Hmm? Playboy? Why am I a Playboy all of a sudden?"
While Lyra was thinking about how she should go about putting sense into Soren, he, on the other hand, looked completely stunned.
From all the guesses he had, he never thought this was what Lyra wanted to ask.
âWait a minute, did she just...â
But then, he instantly understood something as he quickly straightened his body, narrowing his eyes at Lyra.
âDid she... see us?â
He wasnât stupid. Of course, he quickly connected the dots. But that only made him sweat bullets.
âThis is bad... damn this peeking ghost. Doesnât she have any shame, peeking into a manâs tent in the dead of night?â
Soren couldnât help but curse, looking at Lyra annoyingly. His opinion of her was getting lower and lower.
At first, she was just looking inside the dungeon, and now...
"Hey... what is with that look?"
Lyra saw Soren scrutinizing her with that judging look and couldnât help but roll her eyes.
"Boy, whatever you are thinking right now about me, I am not that kind of person."
"I just happened to see you two accidentally. Besides, how would I know you were being lovey-dovey with a girl so late in the night?"
Lyra seemed a bit annoyed at being judged by her student, the same one who would ogle at her breasts any chance he got.
Soren didnât know how lucky he was that she hadnât punished him for that yet.
âHmm? Being lovey dovey?â
Soren raised his eyebrow slightly after hearing her words.
âDoes that mean she just saw us at last and not during sex? Hmm, it seems so. Otherwise, she shouldnât be so calm.â
Although it was still bad that Lyra saw him with Elise, at least she didnât see worse.
Soren couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief inwardly before speaking lightly, his confidence returning in an instant.
"Okay, Professor. I am sorry for judging you. It seems it was my fault that I didnât care about setting up a privacy array in my tent."
Yeah, he was really going to buy a good array or artifact that could prevent and detect external intrusion.
In fact, Soren already thought of asking Owen for a small portable tent if possible.
"It isnât about the array, Soren. Canât you see what is wrong here? And you didnât even answer my question."
Professor Lyra suddenly got serious as she crossed her arms right below her massive bosom, accentuating it even more, looking straight at Soren with a judging gaze.
"Look, I have already seen you being intimate with Aurelia. You also have an ambiguous relationship with those two girls from your team. And now, with that twin sister..."
"Elise..."
"Hmm?"
"She is Elise. She just came to meet me to thank me for saving her life in the dungeon."
Soren shrugged at Professor Lyra, making her pout at his nonchalance.
"Okay, I donât care why she came to you. In fact, at normal times, I donât even care what you do with your personal life."
Professor Lyra sounded a bit annoyed,
"I just want to ask, do you know that you are stepping on multiple mines right now? Do you know what background they have? If Elise found out that you were with Aurelia..."
"She knows."
"Hmm?"
This was the second time Lyra was interrupted. But this time, rather than being annoyed, she stood stunned, a bit confused.
"What do you mean?"
Lyra asked subconsciously when she saw him giving her an awkward smile.
"Well, it means Elise knows about Aurelia. In fact, most of the girls around me know that I have others besides them."
Soren said matter-of-factly,
"So, Professor, you donât have to worry about such a thing. I am not a playboy, and I am definitely not deceiving any of them. If you donât believe me, how about you go and ask Elise directly?"
He proposed, to which Lyra quickly shook her head.
"N-No no, no need."
What the heck was she going to snoop in their relations for? She was just warning Soren out of her goodwill.
Just... it seemed she kind of underestimated Sorenâs situation.
"Then, you donât have to worry about me, Professor, although I thank you for your concern."
Soren showed a slight gentlemanly smile before looking towards his tent,
"Anyway, it is already late, and I am quite tired. So... letâs separate? Donât worry, I will inform you of my wish after I make my decision."
As much as he wanted to stay longer with her, he still had to check the reward he got from Elise. He didnât want to waste time if possible.
"Oh, O-Okay..."
So the moment Professor Lyra nodded a bit woodenly, Soren left his position, quickly heading towards his tent.
Of course, before reaching there, he didnât forget to give his system a quick order,
âSystem, add 60 points to my Luck stat.â
And the order was to directly increase his Luck points to one hundred.
This time, Soren was ruthless.
With all the mystery beginning to surround his existence, Soren felt that he urgently needed to increase his Luck more than anything else.
Previously, he was a bit lax because of his omniscient viewpoint about this world. But with the appearance of Isabella, he felt a bit threatened.
And the only thing that could save him from such an overhaul above level 500 was his Luck.
