The document sorting ended before lunch, and Alesia thanked me before teleporting away with the documents.
That old elf truly did as she pleased in her Academy… As a headmistress of the Virtue Royal Academy, she also didn't seem to care about other things, such as the Kingdom's political situation. I didn't know about other headmasters, but I knew Alesia was also an oddball among them.
"Fuu…"
Sorting documents took some stamina more than having sex or fighting monsters for me. It was tiring. I was impressed by Sana and those who needed to deal with documents daily now. I should give her a stamina recovery potion if I stop by in the future.
I went to the cafeteria to meet up with Eliza, who probably was with Karin right now, to talk about the dinner. Of course, I didn't lock the headmistress' office because I had no key, but I did close it tightly.
When I arrived at the cafeteria, it wasn't as crowded as before. Students had returned to bring lunch from home and eat it in the park or garden again.
Just glancing around for a second was enough to see where Eliza was sitting. Three people, 2 girls and a boy, were sitting around a round table filled with various foods near a large window at the end of the cafeteria, right to the entrance.
The orange-haired girl was sitting a bit close to the boy with short brown hair and a pair of hazel eyes, while a long brown-haired girl sat across from them beside an empty seat.
Observing them for a second, I noticed that Eliza didn't look uncomfortable at that time. Instead, she just talked normally with the boy, while Karin stole a glance at the boy with a shy look. I understood what their relationship was instantly and walked over.
"I keep you waiting, Eliza."
"Arthur, you're here!" Eliza chirped happily.
I pulled the chair beside Eliza and sat naturally. I nodded at her once and turned to Karin.
"Thanks for accompanying her, Karin."
"Hahaha, it's not a problem! We know that she will cry or get hit if she's alone." Karin giggled and winked at me, ignoring Eliza's protest.
I also chuckled. It was such a nice atmosphere we had. Then I looked at the boy. He looked at me with respect and excitement.
'That's rare.'
Extending my hand for the handshake, I smiled softly.
"I believe we haven't met before. I am Arthur Vainglory. Nice to meet you."
"Ah, y-yes!" The boy stuttered a little as he took my hand. "My name is Oliver Coppertree, the second son of Viscount Coppertree. It's an honor to meet you, Sir Paladin!"
"You don't need to call me sir." I chuckled and pulled my hand away. "I am just a student here, and so are you. Just treat me like usual."
"That's ridiculous!" For some reason, Oliver raised his voice while his eyes widened. He shook his head and put his right hand on his chest. "You are one of the highest order. I won't show any disrespect. Please let me call you sir!"
I was baffled. No one was ever this passionate, at least not a man when talking to me. I had seen much respect from the church knights, but they were able to hold themselves back.
"Oliver came from a knight family line and dreamed of becoming one. That's why he's a bit overbearing sometimes, but he's a good guy."
Eliza whispered to me with a suppressed voice.
"And he's Karin's fiance." She added.
He was still a teenager, and I could understand his passion. I was at that phase before when it was in Horizon Online, even sparing my enemy. However, it has been a long time since I graduated from being like that.
"Alright." I nodded slightly. "But just call me Arthur. Those in my knight squad call me that way because I don't really like formalities."
Oliver looked a little hesitant but nodded afterward, "Very well. I'll call you Sir Arthur then."
"And I will call you Oliver."
After his introduction, we discussed our plan for the dinner.
Because Oliver was Karin's fiance, I invited him and made this a double date. If we just went with 3 people with me as the only boy, I could imagine what would happen after dinner as Eliza was pretty hungry after knowing what I did before going to school.
I actually also half-expected it. But this guy was a good one, and he seemed to be friendly. As someone from a knight family line and a Viscount at that, he could probably rise in rank in the future.
'Making a connection with him won't be a problem. And besides… he might be the first boy who isn't jealous of me and actually respects me.'
We split up after talking about it and had lunch. Karin and Oliver went to Class 2, while Eliza went to Class 3.
As for me? I went to the Counseling Room as someone just entered. It might be fun to bring her to our little dinner party later and introduce her to Eliza and the others in the mansion. No one had known our relationship as a brother and sister from the same orphanage.
But when I entered the Counseling Room, I could only see Rania, whose soul was about to escape her mouth.
"What's wrong?"
I closed the door behind me and walked toward Rania. She was sprawling over on the couch with a tired look. When I peered above her, she immediately bawled like a spoiled little kid.
"Arthuuurrr. Help me!!"
"What?!"
I was taken by surprise and couldn't dodge her hands because I was right above her. Our foreheads bumped against each other as our lips touched. With her strength, I was pulled from behind and fell on top of her.
Because she wore the instructor's clothes with a shoulder pad and chest plate, I couldn't feel the softness of her body and instead was pushed against something hard.
"Ouch!"
The pain from our bump finally set in, and she groaned. I rubbed my forehead as I moved away from her, going to the other couch. She also raised her body and rubbed her forehead with her palm, using <Heal> to alleviate the pain.
Rania was always like this. She acted spoiled when she was either drunk or alone with me. There were many people in the church, so she maintained her image of a perfect knight.
But now? This room was exclusive to only a few people, so she took off that act. More importantly…
"What's wrong?" I asked in all seriousness, looking at her taking off her shoulder pad and chest plate, leaving her in her new church uniform with a tight miniskirt.
That uniform looked good on her. While white and blue fit Rania's image, the combination of white and black also made Rania look beautiful. The tight corset-like waist area also showed off her curve, and her large tits were pushed upward.
Not to mention, her soft thighs were apparent. The area between the end of her skirt and the high socks she wore was sexy.
But now, I need to focus on a more important matter.
"Why did you ask for my help?"
"Yes, that!" Rania exclaimed, pointing her finger at me. Then with a hysterical voice, she said, "Isabel– Tristan wants to take over my position! She suddenly asked me for a duel tomorrow."
"…"
'What's happening in the church? No, what's happening with Tristan?'
