Getting spoiled in a woman dominating world-Chapter 28: Forced kiss?

Eh?

Brandon barely had time to process what was happening before her soft lips pressed against his lips.

His entire body tensed in surprise as she so effortlessly wrapped her arms around his neck.

He staggered back slightly as his hands instinctively hovered in the air, unsure whether to push her away or hold her steady.

A little later, she pulled back her lips with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

"Mm~ So you really do have that effect~" she mused, her voice carrying an amused tone.

Brandon blinked, still trying to recover from what had happened as a stream of ether signature coursed through his brain.

Clarisse let out an exasperated sigh from her seat. "Astrid."

"Hahaha..." The green-haired woman, Astrid, just giggled hearing the scolding tone in Clarisse's voice.

"Oh, come on President... I am just curious about his abilities."

She finally loosened her hold on Brandon's neck, but instead of stepping away, she leaned in even closer as her lips hovered near his ear.

"Your ether feels different," she whispered as she let out her tongue, licking his ear gently.

"It's... intoxicating."

Brandon finally regained enough composure to gently pry her off him, and his hands gripped her shoulders as he put a little distance between them.

He gave her a deadpan look and asked "Why the hell did you kiss me?"

Astrid tilted her head, as if the answer was obvious "Because I was curious, of course."

"From the Headmistress we heard, through physical contact you can mimic ether skills temporarily... so I was wondering."

"So did you get my skill?"

Brandon could only shake his head helplessly 'Did I just get assaulted? I wonder how many more crazy women I can find here.'

Well, it's a free kiss from a woman... so he doesn't really mind it.

"I can't absorb some complex ether signatures instantly... Need more exposure an-"

"Then we need to kiss more right?"

Brandon blinked and gave a slow nod "Well... yeah."

"Then let's kiss more." Astrid interrupted with an eager grin.

Without further hesitation, she leaned forward and tried to kiss him again.

This time, Brandon also expected the kiss and closed his eyes, reciprocating the kiss.

His hand gently glided to her neck and tilted her head slightly to deepen the kiss.

Her hands around his neck tightened as she softly sucked on his lips.

Pulling back from the kiss, Astrid blinked her eyes In surprise and licked her own lips "What the hell... that felt so good."

Brandon exhaled and flicked her forehead lightly "That's the difference between a forced kiss and one that's reciprocated."

Rubbing her head, Astrid's gaze narrowed "I see... seems like I have a lot to learn.. junior, let's kiss again."

However, before she could kiss him again, a cold voice echoed through the hall "Astrid."

"Ah-"

Astrid's body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head to look at Clarisse "Um, President..."

"Let him go."

Astrid pouted slightly as she finally loosened her hold around Brandon's neck. "Yes..." she muttered, almost sounding like a child being scolded.

Meanwhile, Brandon took a step back from the crazy woman to create some distance so she wouldn't assault him again.

Astrid, still rubbing her forehead where he had flicked earlier, let out an exaggerated sigh. "You're no fun, President."

But then she smirked at Brandon "And you, junior... You taste pretty good."

Brandon gave her an unimpressed look "Do I look like a snack to you?"

She playfully poked his chest "Kinda~"

Despite the irritation, Clarisse spoke in a soft tone "Astrid, I called him here for a reason. If you're done fooling around, take your seat."

Astrid sighed dramatically but obediently walked back toward her chair, though not without giving Brandon one last playful wink.

Clarisse's lips curved slightly... not quite a smile, but something close as she gestured toward one of the empty seats near the center. "Sit."

Brandon hesitated for a moment before moving toward the chair.

Sitting on her chair, Clarisse spoke "You are the first male awakener, Brandon Kael. The Academy is watching you. The world is watching you."

Brandon remained silent, waiting for her to continue.

"That's why I got the special task from the Headmistress to look after you... if you have any problems within the Academy, you can always come to me."

Bradon smiled and gave a faint nod "Yes, Senior."

Clarisse turned slightly, glancing at Astrid "Astrid, you tested him just now... though not in the way I would have preferred."

Astrid hummed, resting her chin on her palm "Mmm~ I wouldn't call that a test, exactly. But I did get a feel for him."

Brandon shot her a deadpan look. Feel?

Clarisse ignored the double entendre as she knew what Astrid meant "And?"

Astrid's playful demeanor softened, "He's got potential,"

"His ether flow is... different. Not just because he's a guy. There's something else about it. It's almost..."

She paused, as if searching for the right word. "...adaptive. Reactive."

Brandon was surprised 'She can tell that with a simple kiss? Aunt Rave used the high tech machines to look at my etheric flow to find that.. but this girl...'

'Maybe that's her skill?'

Even though he kissed her two times, he couldn't grasp her ether signature fully to understand or copy her skill.

Clarisse's gaze squinted "What do you mean?"

Astrid tapped a finger against the table "Ether is something that flows naturally within the body, something you either have an affinity for or you don't. But this guy's... it responds. Almost like it's trying to match whatever it comes into contact with."

Clarisse frowned "You're saying his ether adjusts itself?"

Astrid shrugged. "I don't know for sure. But I do know that when I kissed him, I felt a brief flicker of my own ether reflected back at me."

"It wasn't like normal absorption... it was like his body was learning from it."

Looking at her, Brandon spoke "I am surprised that you can tell all of that with just a kiss."

Hearing this, she winked at him "That's my ether signature..."

"My ability is to perceive and analyze ether at a microscopic and macroscopic level. I can 'see' the flow, density, and structure of ether in all things."

With a smirk, she continued "I may not be powerful as President, but when it comes to Ether Analysis, no student in this academy can match me, hehe."

Clarisse glimpsed at Brandon "She is on the line to become the next lead researcher in the Academy."

Oh? Brandon was amused to hear this "So... you are like Aunt Ravene."

H-Huh? Astrid was startled to hear the name and stood from her seat "Aunt? You know her? You know her?"

"The Grand Magister of Etheric Sciences, Ravene Morcelle personally?"
