Getting spoiled in a woman dominating world-Chapter 57: She saw the kiss?

Brandon walked through the Academy halls and his body is still aching from the brutal sparring session with Naevora.

He took a quick shower, washing away the sweat and grime, but the soreness remained.

The hallways were relatively quiet, as most students were already inside their classrooms.

He picked up his pace, knowing he was running late.

As he reached the door to his classroom, he let out a small breath and pushed it open.

The moment he stepped inside, a dozen pairs of eyes flickered toward him.

The teacher, who was an older woman, briefly paused mid-lecture and turned to look at him.

Brandon expected her to reprimand him, maybe even question where he had been.

But instead, she just narrowed her eyes slightly and exhaled before returning to her lesson.

Seeing this, Brandon sighed in his heart and without a word, he made his way toward the back of the classroom.

Eira and Calistra were already in the last seat.

As he slid into the seat beside her, she raised an eyebrow.

"You’re late..." she whispered, her voice low enough that only he could hear.

Brandon leaned back in his seat, stretching slightly "Had some... training."

Eira, however, wasn’t so easily satisfied with such a vague answer.

She leaned in further and her breath tickled his ear as she whispered, "You got a kiss from me, saying it was for a fight..."

Brandon gave a small nod, tilting his head slightly toward her as he hushed back, "An SS-rank awakener stepped forward to train me, so I had a little sparring session with her."

Her eyes widened slightly in surprise before a pleased smile curled on her lips.

"Congrats," she whispered back, her voice laced with genuine pride.

He smiled back and nodded his head "Thanks."

Then, just as he was about to settle in, he felt a sharp pinch at his waist.

H-Huh?

Startled by the sudden pain, he turned to look at Eira in confusion "What was that for?"

Her lips twitched in frustration as she gave him a small glare. "Calistra found out that you kissed me."

As she spoke, he blinked and turned to look at Calistra, who was listening to the lecture nonchalantly.

He again leaned forward and asked "So what? Does she also want a kiss now?"

*pinch*

This time, Eira twisted her fingers, making sure he felt it.

"Ow—!" Brandon barely suppressed the sound and his body jerked slightly from the pain.

His entire body was already in shambles after sparring with Naevora, and now he had to deal with this too? "What are you doing?"

Eira’s grip loosened slightly, and a faint pink hue painted her cheeks as she muttered "It is just so embarrassing thinking that she knows."

Brandon sighed. Why is she overthinking this?

Leaning in closer, he brought his lips near her ear and whispered "She knows I copy skills by kissing. So she must have understood it..."

As he spoke, he brought his lips closer and placed a soft kiss on her cheek.

HUH?

Eira’s eyes widened in shock, and she hurriedly looked around to make sure that no one saw them.

Since they were in the last bench, everyone is concentrating on the front.

Even Calistra, who was right beside her, still seemed absorbed in the class, not paying attention to them.

Taking a breath of relief, she turned to glare at him and opened her mouth to scold "You idio-"

But before she could finish it, he leaned forward and pecked her lips, silencing her for a moment.

Eh? For a brief moment, Eira’s mind blanked out.

Her body tensed and her heart skipped a beat.

Her brain completely failed to process what had just happened.

Brandon pulled back almost immediately and a teasing smile formed on his lips as he watched her reaction.

Eira, on the other hand, looked completely frozen and her face burned in a brilliant shade of red.

Then all at once, her senses came crashing back, and she raised her arms, landing weak punches against his shoulder.

"Idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Stop doing that!"

Feeling her weak punches, Brandon chuckled in his heart and grabbed her hand, as he smoothly intertwined his fingers with hers.

She stopped hitting him and turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

He leaned forward and whispered "Don’t worry... no one saw us."

Eira huffed, still refusing to look at him "That’s not the point..."

Brandon just shook his head helplessly and pulled her closer to him.

She gave him a sidelong glare and even so, she didn’t resist when he pulled her in.

She hesitated for a moment before finally leaning her head on his shoulder.

"So," she murmured softly, "how did the sparring session go?"

With a nod, he replied "It was good..."

"Hmm..."

Eira shifted slightly against him, adjusting her position so that her forehead lightly rested against his shoulder "Did you use the kiss I gave you?"

Her words were quiet, meant only for him to hear.

Brandon smiled upon hearing this and replied "Yeah... it helped a lot."

Eira’s lips curled into a satisfied smile, though she kept her face buried against him so he won’t see her face.

Meanwhile, from the corner of his eye, Brandon noticed subtle movement.

Calistra.

She turned her head as she looked at them for a brief moment.

Looking at their closeness, she didn’t say anything.

With a quiet breath, she shifted her attention back to the teacher, as if nothing had happened.

Brandon narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering if she is just naturally perceptive or if she had something on her mind.

’Is she trying to act mysterious or something?’

For now, he chose to ignore it.

---

In the afternoon, Brandon and Eira were walking through the Academic Halls, heading to the cafeteria.

Eira let out a deep sigh with her hands tucked behind her back as she walked beside him.

"Calistra might be thinking that we’re dating," she murmured, tilting her head slightly toward Brandon.

"That’s probably why she didn’t come with us... She must have thought she was the third wheel."

Brandon chuckled at her reasoning, "You think so?"

Eira shot him a sideways glance "Obviously. I mean, you were basically cuddling me in class, you idiot. What else is she supposed to think?"

Brandon couldn’t hold back his laughter this time, and in response, Eira smacked his hand lightly.

"It’s all because of you," she accused, narrowing her eyes at him.

He just shrugged, "I don’t see the problem here."

Before Eira could retort, a sudden force slammed into Brandon’s back, almost making him stumble forward.

A pair of arms draped around his shoulders, and a familiar, energetic voice rang out in an exaggeratedly cheerful tone.

"Brandonnn~~~ your favorite senior is here!"

He barely managed to steady himself before he felt someone clinging onto him from behind.

Brandon turned his head slightly, and sure enough, the teasing smile of a green-haired woman greeted him.

"Astrid...?"

The moment he said her name, Astrid’s grin widened like a mischievous fox.

"Yup!" she chirped, tightening her grip around his shoulders.

"This is your girlfriend, Astrid!"

"How many times do I have to tell you? You are not my girlfriend. Now get down."

Astrid, of course, had no intention of listening.

Instead, she giggled and wrapped her legs around his waist, effectively locking herself onto him.

"Noooo," she whined dramatically.

"Why would I let go when my precious junior is right here?"

Brandon could feel her legs tightening slightly around his torso and her arms hanging loosely around his neck as she rested her chin against his shoulder.

Eira stood to the side and her eyebrows twitched slightly ’This guy...’

Brandon looked at her to speak "Astrid..."

"Come oooon," she interrupted, swaying her body slightly as if trying to make him lose balance again.

"It’s been sooo long since I last saw you. I missed my cute little junior."

"You saw me last week."

"Exactly! That’s so long ago."

Looking at her clinging to him like a koala, Brandon bent forward slightly and grabbed Astrid’s thighs, prying them apart from his waist before finally managing to dislodge her.

"Haa... you are a pain in the ass."

Astrid just giggled and hugged his arm "Alright, Alright, Let’s go to the cafeteria now."

Brandon turned to look at Eira and saw her pouting "Eira..."

"Yeah, Yeah.. coming."
