Chapter 40: Naked Body
"So, um... what do you do?"
Sifa sat on her bed, which was covered in a layer of frost.
The whole room was freezing, and if not for the Space Seducer System helping his body adapt, Kalon would’ve been dead on arrival.
He stood across the room from Sifa with his hands in his pockets.
"I specialise in fire."
As soon as he said the word, Sifa’s eyes widened.
"Fire? That can’t be right. They say that fire is an urban myth."
An urban myth... what the hell is going on here?
Kalon wanted to laugh, but he didn’t want to be disrespectful.
"It is, but I probably shouldn’t show you. I’m afraid you might melt."
"Melt? I’ll have you know that I’m actually quite durable."
Her tone suddenly became defensive. Her cheeks puffed out slightly, and her brows furrowed.
It looked cute rather than frightening.
This time, Kalon was unable to hide his laughter.
"W-what’s funny? Why did I have to get a lying, arrogant summon?"
"Woah, wait a minute. What do you mean, lying?"
"You heard me." Sifa crossed her arms beneath her breasts, making them look even larger than they already were. "You can’t use fire, so you made up an excuse so you wouldn’t have to show me."
"My friends were wrong. You aren’t A-Rank," she continued, looking away from Kalon. "You’re F-Rank."
"..."
Kalon’s jaw dropped.
F-Rank... Are you kidding me?
If she had said this a week ago, then he would’ve been in no position to argue.
But now...
After everything he had gone through to become stronger?
"I’m screwed..." Sifa muttered to herself. "Everyone’s going to mock me for having a weak summon... I’m never going to be able to fight against the Ice Horde."
Kalon was hardly listening anymore.
His mind was too focused on what she had just said.
F-Rank.
It gave him flashbacks to the Academy of Systems entrance examination.
The day everyone’s attributes had been announced publicly.
F-Rank fodder, they had called him.
...
I’m not fodder anymore.
"You can leave now," Sifa said without even looking at him. "My life is already rui—"
Her words were cut off as a surge of pain suddenly spread throughout her entire body.
It was unlike anything she had ever experienced before.
Her body first felt warm. Then hot.
An orange glow illuminated her body, causing parts of her icy skin to melt. Water droplets streamed over her uniform almost instantly.
The heat...
It was coming from the man standing in front of her.
Sifa slowly looked up.
The boy dressed in black now had nine blazing spheres of fire revolving around his body.
Each one was only the size of a clenched fist, yet they radiated such overwhelming power that Sifa instinctively shrank away.
Naturally, she crawled backwards across her bed.
Kalon took a single step forwards.
"Don’t run now. I’m a liar, aren’t I?" he asked.
The closer he came, the hotter Sifa became.
At this point, her body was melting rapidly. If this continued, she would surely die.
She could actually feel her health dropping.
It was usually at 200. Now it had already fallen to 150.
She began to panic.
Can’t... breathe...
The heat from Kalon’s flames became unbearable.
Sifa gasped as her icy fingers fumbled desperately with her academy uniform.
She tore open the remaining buttons.
The soaked white fabric peeled away from her body, water streaming down her smooth skin in sparkling droplets.
Then...
Her large, perfectly rounded breasts spilled free.
Kalon almost dropped the skill.
No bra? She’s wearing no bra?
He immediately realised why.
Her generous breasts had no nipples. They were perfectly smooth.
With every movement she made, they bounced freely, settling naturally against the top of her ribcage.
The sight of her large, bare breasts sent blood rushing to Kalon’s lower region.
He hadn’t intended for this to happen, but he certainly wasn’t going to complain.
The ice woman continued stripping, shoving the soaked uniform down over her hips.
Water streamed down her curvy body as her skirt slipped away next, revealing thick thighs pressed tightly together, hiding the glistening treasure between them.
Her waist was slender. Her hips were wide. Her stomach was completely flat, with no belly button at all.
Every inch of her naked body shimmered beneath the melting water.
The system suddenly chimed inside his head.
「Mission Complete: See Sifa’s naked body.」
[Your reward: SSS-Rank Passive Skill is waiting for you back on Earth!]
Just like that, the mission had been completed.
Though it was difficult to focus on that right now.
Kalon let out a slow sigh before dismissing Ninefold Sunbreaker.
The nine flaming spheres dissolved into the air.
Gradually, the room returned to its natural temperature.
Frost slowly spread back across the dormitory surfaces.
It was as though the world itself was undoing everything the flames had changed.
As for Sifa... she remained sitting on her bed.
One arm was crossed over her massive chest, pressing into her breasts and slightly changing their shape.
It was an attempt to cover herself.
If anything, it only made her look even more erotic.
Realising this, she quickly reached for her discarded uniform.
"L-look away... please!"
Please?
Kalon acknowledged her manners.
Immediately, it became clear that the dynamic between them had changed.
Smiling slightly, Kalon turned around and patiently waited for the woman to dress herself.
"Okay... you can turn back around."
Kalon did exactly that.
Sifa was sitting on the bed once again.
Her cheeks were still glistening slightly from embarrassment, tiny droplets of water running down them.
However, the way she looked at Kalon had completely changed. There was respect in her icy eyes now and perhaps a little fear.
Before she could speak, Kalon took the initiative.
"An apology."
That was all he said.
"A-an apology?" Sifa repeated.
"Yes. For calling me a liar."
He looked directly into her eyes.
"If you ever want to see me again... you need to apologise."
Immediately, Sifa became anxious.
She knew that if a summoner and their summon failed to build a good relationship, their pact would naturally weaken.
After all, he deserved an apology.
She had insulted him and called him a liar, when everything he had said was actually true.
Sifa lowered her head in shame.
Then she clasped her hands together.
"I am so sorry!"
...
...
...
By the time she looked back up, her summon had already disappeared.
