Although Hikari had completely withdrawn his hands just now, there was still a strange force supporting her body.
That was something Matsuura Anju, or rather, any normal person, would find hard to imagine.
It was like what Archimedes said: give him a lever, and he could move the entire Earth.
Although she still wasn't sure whether what she had personally experienced was real, Matsuura Anju silently remembered it.
Then she quickly climbed down from Hikari.
But the moment both feet touched the ground again, Matsuura Anju's legs went weak, and she nearly fell.
Hikari immediately reached out and caught her again.
Steadying herself with Hikari's support, Matsuura Anju let out a sigh of relief and thanked him again.
"Thank you, Hikari-kun. I almost fell again. Maybe what happened just now was too frightening. My legs are still weak, so I can't stand very steadily..."
"It's okay, Sensei. Take it slow," Hikari held her by her slender, soft waist and helped her stand firmly.
Although she felt a little embarrassed being supported by one of her students, Matsuura Anju was also afraid of falling again and causing even more trouble, so she rested an arm on Hikari as well.
Suddenly, looking down, Matsuura Anju noticed a wet stain on the hem of Hikari's school shirt.
Her pretty face flushed red as she apologized, "Hikari-kun, I'm sorry. I got your clothes... dirty."
"It's fine. Let me take you back to the office," Having seen a lot, Hikari didn't mind. He also understood that she had been affected by Takasaki Souichi's telekinetic ability, which was why she had kept rubbing against him and ended up dirtying his clothes.
"Mm," Matsuura Anju answered softly, still obviously embarrassed.
Hikari then escorted Matsuura Anju back to the office.
Since there were many people along the way, and the soreness in her legs had eased somewhat, Matsuura Anju no longer asked Hikari to continue supporting her.
When they reached the corner outside the office, Hikari was about to turn and leave.
But Matsuura Anju called out to him, "Hikari-kun, wait a moment."
Hikari turned around, "Is there something else, Matsuura-sensei?"
"Um... Thank you so much for today, Hikari-kun!"
Matsuura Anju thanked him very earnestly, "If you hadn't helped me in time, I might have been crushed to death just now."
"And after that, you kept taking care of me and even walked me back."
"So really, thank you so much, Hikari-kun."
Hikari waved a hand, "It's nothing. It was just a small favor. Matsuura-sensei usually looks out for me too. It was only natural."
Matsuura Anju shook her head, "It's different. You saved my life. I have to repay you."
"Um... let me at least do something first."
As she spoke, Matsuura Anju suddenly stepped forward, wrapped her fair arms around Hikari's neck, and pressed her cherry lips against his cheek in a kiss.
A soft, moist touch came from his cheek. Hikari looked at the beautiful purple-haired teacher before him with some surprise.
"I'll repay Hikari-kun again in the future. This time... this will do for now."
After saying that, Matsuura Anju turned around with a red face and quickly walked away.
Judging from her bright red ears, Hikari figured Matsuura Anju was embarrassed.
And that was indeed the case.
Matsuura Anju was overwhelmed with embarrassment inside.
She had only graduated recently and had never even been in a relationship.
Although she was very pretty and had a great figure, so plenty of boys had pursued her, she had never met anyone she liked before, so she had never dated.
So what she had just done to Hikari left her terribly embarrassed.
Even though, behind the school building earlier, when Hikari had been holding and supporting her, their bodies had been in much closer contact.
It could be said that they had almost been pressed together as one, making her react a little.
But Matsuura Anju's feelings at the time had been different from how she felt now.
Compared to that slightly panicked situation, kissing Hikari on the cheek now felt much more like something she had chosen to do herself.
So after doing it, Matsuura Anju felt she had been far too bold. It was simply too embarrassing.
After all, their identities were what they were.
Even though there wasn't much of an age gap, it was still terribly embarrassing.
With her little face flushed red, Matsuura Anju casually greeted a few female teachers before returning to her desk.
Because of the nervousness and awkwardness from what had just happened, her toes inside her black stockings were still tightly curled.
Thinking back to the awkward scene where she had taken the initiative to kiss him, Matsuura Anju, who had been single all her life, unconsciously squeezed her thighs together.
Then her body suddenly stiffened.
She froze.
Because it felt strangely smooth.
After her confusion, Matsuura Anju quickly recalled the even more embarrassing incident from earlier when Hikari had been holding her up.
Her breathing became faster, and a trace of shyness and guilt flashed through her eyes.
Then she hurriedly got up and rushed toward the restroom...
———
[Ding! Host successfully stopped the NTR villain Takasaki Souichi's evil deed, rescued heroine Matsuura Anju, and successfully promoted the spirit of pure love!]
[Reward obtained: Pure Love Points +100!]
Hearing the system's reward notification in his mind, Hikari nodded with satisfaction.
This trip had yielded quite a lot.
Besides receiving a fragrant kiss from the beautiful teacher Matsuura Anju, the Pure Love Points reward was also satisfying.
Hikari had also further observed Takasaki Souichi's ability.
That superpower really wasn't just simple telekinesis.
When manipulating people, it also carried a hypnotic effect.
It wasn't outright mind control, but it still influenced the target mentally, giving them psychological suggestions so they would be manipulated without realizing it, believing the actions came from their own heart or subconscious.
So when Hikari heard Takasaki Souichi muttering that he wanted to manipulate Matsuura Anju's body, making her mistakenly think she liked him very much and even wanted to throw herself at him and be intimate with him, the Pure Love Aura instead twisted it into Matsuura Anju liking Hikari very much, wanting to cuddle up to him, be intimate with him, and even push him down.
And although Matsuura Anju only gave him a grateful farewell kiss before they parted, even Hikari hadn't expected
that Matsuura Anju, who had already liked him somewhat, would not notice that she had been affected by a superpower at all, and would instead have her affection for him rise rapidly.
After everything that had happened, she even felt that she had truly fallen for Hikari, a high school student.
That was also why Matsuura Anju felt somewhat guilty.
———
"Phew..."
Inside the women's restroom, Matsuura Anju washed her face in front of the mirror and let out a long breath.
Opening her shoulder bag, she balled up her damp socks and hurriedly stuffed them inside.
Two blushes remained on her fair, beautiful face.
She didn't know why.
Ever since separating from Hikari, she had kept thinking about him.
It had even reached the point where she could hardly control her feelings.
She splashed her flushed cheeks with icy cold water. Her beautiful eyes were filled with shyness and a faint trace of guilt.
———
Meanwhile, after leaving the office, Hikari was preparing to return to his classroom.
But after walking only a short distance, the Pure Love Radar notification sounded again in his mind.
[Ding! An NTR-related incident is about to occur. Please be aware...]
———
Inside a spacious empty classroom, Nogami Izumi, Hinata Sae, and Sanada Minako, the three gyarus, were sitting together.
Although the lunch break was almost over, they still hadn't left the classroom to return to their own class.
Because they were seriously studying "hypnosis."
But the results were not going very well.
"It looked so simple in the video. Why can't I make it work? Damn it!", Nogami Izumi said impatiently, holding the lighter prop used for hypnosis.
"When you're hypnotizing someone, you're supposed to hold the lit lighter in front of your chest," Seeing that Nogami Izumi's movements weren't quite correct, Hinata Sae pointed it out.
"I did light it! You try it!", Nogami Izumi stuffed the lighter into Hinata Sae's hand.
Hinata Sae immediately tried the hypnosis method taught in the book.
"Sae-chan, after lighting it you're supposed to recite it silently in your heart and snap your fingers. Did you recite it?", Sanada Minako couldn't help asking.
"I did!", Hinata Sae replied helplessly and irritably.
Nogami Izumi couldn't help slamming the hypnosis instruction book hard onto the desk.
"Is this hypnosis real or fake? Didn't it say it was easy? Why can't I get it to work?"
Hinata Sae also chimed in, "Exactly! I'm starting to think this book is fake too. The three of us have tried so many times, and none of us has succeeded."
"Sigh...", Sanada Minako sighed helplessly. She had originally been looking forward to mastering hypnosis so she could win over Hikari, but they still hadn't managed to make it work.
"Without hypnosis, how are we supposed to get back at that guy Hikari?", Hinata Sae also said dejectedly.
Nogami Izumi gritted her teeth, "Hmph! If it comes to it, we'll do it by force! We'll drag that guy straight into the restroom!"
"By... by force?", Sanada Minako stared blankly at Nogami Izumi, and so did Hinata Sae.
