After Olivia paid off her interest…Ben explained to her why she wouldn't get pregnant. "This is one of the abilities, of my magical golden dick…"
She seemed skeptical at first, but Ben knew that her analytical nature was matched by her gullibility. So when he described to her some random foundations of magic he'd read in web novels, it twisted her thoughts into enough of a messy magic loop that she had nothing to say.
Ben smiled. 'If it was good enough to hand-wave away tens of thousands of mindless readers, it should be good enough for her…' He was right.
Afterward, the two separated and returned to their individual schedules, and soon, Ben sat at home, taking a break between classes. It was then that he checked his system notifications to see if he earned any rewards on this sexcapade with Olivia.
Yet, the only result was a frown, because he saw that once again, he gained no achievements. The biggest reason Ben wanted to fool around in class was he thought it might help him get some achievements, and although he'd received some the first time during the test with Olivia, they weren't repeatable, and now, nothing new arrived.
Ben was disappointed, but soon, his eyes widened when he discovered a different notification.
[Challenge conditions met]
[Challenge initiated]
[Special Challenge: Sextra Credit - Seduce your professor by the end of the semester. Target: Professor Tremblay]
Reading this, Ben furrowed his brows, wondering why he received this now, but he found his answer within the next message.
[Your professor is suspicious of your deeds on campus. Silence her with your penis]
…
Ben's face became serious. 'So she discovered something, after all.'
[Reward: Mid Level Stat Growth Multiplier(Consumable, Rare, Random) x1]
[Punishment: Expelled from university]
[Remaining time: 59 days]
He shook his head. This was a serious punishment. Although it wasn't as harsh as ones targeting the health of him or his family, if Ben was kicked out of school, it would change everything about his life. Such a thing would alter his future in a permanent and unpredictable manner.
Despite that, the reward was also good. A mid-level multiplier was a rare and powerful item, one that could help him attain a massive breakthrough in a stat. As such, he wasn't upset.
With 59 days to complete the challenge, although Ben wasn't sure how he'd accomplish it yet, he remembered the professor once triggered his IOI watch. So, he hoped it wouldn't be as difficult as it sounded. In any case though, because she was a professor, he knew he shouldn't approach her armageddon style…
If Ben hit on her in an aggressive manner, he might not have to wait for the challenge's time limit to expire, as she could force him to face disciplinary action right away, or at least destroy his grade.
Also, he wasn't sure if there were other methods of failing this challenge besides for the time running out. It was possible that if her attraction level dropped low enough, it would fail by default. For that reason, he needed to be careful. 'There's enough time. I'll come up with ideas step by step.'
Regardless, there was nothing he could do about it now. So, Ben focused on the tasks in front of him: schoolwork, his job at Hearth, and of course, his favorite at the moment, the BJJ classes at Barbosa's MMA Gym.
As the days passed…Ben's skill in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu increased at a visible rate. While in the beginning, he got dominated and submitted left and right, several days after he began, he became able to defend himself, enough so that at least everyone was no longer wiping the floor with his face…
A couple of days later, he became competitive, sometimes getting submitted, but also submitting others himself! It caused a few students and even Valentina to give him the occasional surprised glance.
Several days after that, he began to show glimmers of dominance! Of course, his technique was still rough. After all, even with a 100x multiplier, it wasn't possible to master everything, because he simply hadn't seen it yet. BJJ was a sport with a plethora of techniques and intricacies. Yet, what he could do was defend and attack well enough, that he could now use his physical advantages!
Up to this point, Ben had taken five potions: two strength, two stamina, and one agility.
As such, with elite power, lasting endurance, and boosted speed, his physical capabilities were above most of the other students. Now that he had the basics down, despite rough technique, he was able to power through the competition! Although still not the strongest, his losses became fewer, and his wins more frequent. Seeing this, Valentina now began watching him with interest, wondering how this little snot-colored bastard was advancing so fast…
Finally, seven days after he'd taken the mid level stat gain multiplier, it was expiring. At that moment, Ben was back in the first class he started in, with the same students, and when he walked into class, they chuckled. Each of them looked forward to teaching the melon thief another lesson.
Yet, that was only because most of them trained once or twice a week and hadn't trained with Ben since the first time. Thus, they weren't aware of his progress.
Within the group of white belts though, a few exchanged eye contact. They took other classes with Ben and had already tried such a thing, only to wind up getting their joints twisted instead. Yet, instead of warning their compatriots, they smirked at each other. There was one simple reason for this—misery enjoyed company…
'Why should only I have suffered?'
'Like happiness, pain is also better shared…'
'I'll sacrifice you all for the greater good of my ego…'
However, even with Ben's increased strength, his performance still hadn't reached a crushing level, but that was yesterday.
Today, as a dozen hyenas stared at him, Ben spread a wicked grin, because not only did he plan to demonstrate his more advanced BJJ skills, but to also unlock something even more vicious--a special move.
It was something he'd been hiding so he could focus on technique, a move he was certain that once brought out today, would destroy them all.
