Rei didn't look at me after that; Sona was conflicted, and what I saw in Saeko's eyes made my pants uncomfortable. Down boy. One day soon, we'll eat all three of them up, but we don't have the time right now. There is never enough time.

It's at that point that I realized something. I've been seriously wasting my time. Meeting Yui is what actually tipped me off. It was right there in front of me the whole time, and I was thinking too linearly. I need to think in curves, and I need to work smarter, not harder. Well... Actually, work both harder and smarter for better results.

'Sage, can I make an ability to train while sleeping? Like, in my dreams?' I ask. 'Obviously, it would have to be lucid dreaming so I can understand and direct the training. What can we do?'

[Dreamscape (B): This ability allows the user to create a training ground within their dreamworld and improve themselves while sleeping. The user may create what is needed within the dream to facilitate training. As perception is fluid within a dream, the user may adjust the effective time on a one to four to one ratio. One hour in the waking world would be four hours within the training simulation.]

'Can I bring anyone else into the Dreamscape?'

[Negative. The user would require an ability to manipulate and connect with another person's dream before that would be possible.]

Hmm. I've got an idea on that, but it'll have to wait. 'Okay, build it.'

[Gained: Dreamscape (B)]

[Note: Synergy found between Dreamscape and Reprieve of Somnus]

'Oh? So, doubling the effect of each hour of sleep, then? Does that mean the training will be more effective or that I can train for twice as long? I'm betting on the latter.'

[Correct. The user may train for eight hours for every one hour of sleep.]

'Still awesome. I'll take it.'

Once Asia finishes changing, we say our goodbyes and make our way to class arriving just a few minutes before the bell. Walking in, I see Saya standing akimbo with her hands on her hips and a scowl on her face in front of Hisashi's desk, apparently giving him the third degree.

"What do you mean, she broke up with you? You guys have only been dating for two months," she practically shouts.

"It was only six weeks, and why are you so upset about it?" Hisashi says back, exasperated. "I'm the one she broke up with."

"That's a tough break, dude," Matsudo says in apparent commiseration.

"Yeah, terrible," Motohama says, patting Hisashi on the shoulder. "So, that means Rei is on the market again, huh?"

A hand smacks up the side of Motohama's head. "Shut it, peewee. Miyamoto wouldn't be interested in your dirty dozens anyway," Aika Kiryuu says, indicating Motohama's crotch with a vague wave of her hand.

Once I remember her version of the Size Scouter and that she's using the metric system, I suddenly feel a little bad for Motohama. Aika's Size Scouter technique is a little different from Motohama's. Instead of instantly and accurately determining a woman's three measurements: bust, waist, and hips, Aika just sees two measurements: length and girth, although no guy seems willing to admit how accurate she is.

I don't give a shit, but that's way too much information for just walking into the classroom. To be clear, though, this world has a higher average for these measurements than my previous world, probably because it's half a hentai here, so proportions are a little exaggerated. Not ridiculously exaggerated... like a twenty percent increase.

Motohama looks like a broken man, tears stream down his face. Brutality! Fatality! Aika looks at the broken Motohama with a smug look on her face and a twinkle in her glasses. Right until she looks up and sees me walking in, suddenly her cheeks burn red and her glasses fog.

I just shrug. 'Dragon,' I think and walk towards my desk. While Asia talks to the teacher out in the hall, I continue inside, stop next to Mio, and lean in to whisper to her. "Want to help me test a new ability?"

"Huh?" she squeaks.

"I'll help," Yuki says, standing up. I sometimes forget how good of hearing those from the Hero Clan have.

"H-he asked me. I'll do it," Mio says, glaring at Yuki.

I brush my fingers over Mio's, and she turns pink. "Are you two sure?" I ask, and they nod. Healthy competition. "Alright, this is an ability involving my aura. I won't actually be touching you. Tell me after class if you felt anything."

I take my seat and look over the class. Lilith is studiously ignoring me. Saya is still questioning Hisashi about his break-up with Rei but then glances my way every so often. Mio seems nervous, probably wondering what's going to happen. Yuki seems stiff, like she's waiting to get hit. Aika has returned to her chair and is mumbling to herself something about 'crushing her uterus.' If the amount of sexual energy she's producing is an indicator, that's a good thing... for her.

The rest of the girls in the class show varying levels of interest in me after Aika's performance and some interest in Hisashi being back on the market. Yuuki Miku, who sits directly behind Hasashi, is unabashedly staring at me like I'm a prime cut of steak and she's starving.

"Huh...why not?" I say out loud, deciding to indulge in a little experiment.

I extend my aura to its maximum range, engulfing most of the classroom. I can reach every person in the room from my desk if I want, but I don't want to reach everyone, only those watching me or trying hard not to look at me. Those with other interests I have no interest in affecting. Regardless, Mio and Yuki are first on the list, so I'll start with them.

I start with Mio and wrap my aura around her body, causing her to jump slightly before focusing the effect on her breasts. I draw my aura around the smooth skin of her breasts with only brief interludes across the areolas and nipples in a rhythmic pattern. Her shoulders hunch as she tries to resist the arousing sensations, but the blazing color of her face and quickening breathe show the futility of her struggle. I can see Yuki frown a little at Mio's condition.

She casts a glance my way, and I split my focus, which is harder than I anticipated but still doable. I slide the aura down her back to her weak spot, her ass. For now, I'm keeping this all exterior, so I use the aura to caress her ass cheeks. Solid matter doesn't really get in the way of intangible energy when I don't want it to, so the chair she's sitting on is of little deterrence. A short squeak tells me I found a happy spot as Yuki starts shaking a little, not used to such intimate contact.

I see Yuuki Miku still hasn't taken her eyes off me, so let's stretch ourselves and... Oh, wow, that's really not working. It's like doing that pat your head and rub your belly simultaneously thing, but you also add juggling goslings to the list, and I don't have any hands left to try.

'Sage, can you maintain this effect for... you know what, that's a bad idea. I need to create an ability, like multitasking or something to help lift the strain of doing multiple tasks at the same time?'

[Parallel Processing (C): The user may easily split their focus between two tasks as easily as they can focus on one, with effort, they may split their focus up to twice more for a total of eight mental tasks, but this requires extreme focus and the user may exhaust their mental energy quickly.]

'Alright, add it in.'

Immediately the strain that I was struggling against is nonexistent, and sliding over Yuuki's legs with my aura is as easy as walking and chewing gum at the same time. And speaking of legs, Yuuki's are rather nice, and the further up the inner thigh I travel, the more her body responds.

At first, she tries to brush whatever it is off, but nothing physical is there. Then, there is an automatic heightening of sensitivity as we approach her holy land. Based on the soft gasp, she may have even succumbed to a slight orgasm.

She looks up and around, cheeks painted in a rose-colored display seeing if anyone noticed. Our eyes connect, and a small grin breaks over my lips, and I throw a wink her way. Her eyes widen, but immediately she smirks back at me and slides down further in her chair with a self-satisfied grin.

I slide the aura back down her legs and over to Saya, who is still giving Hisashi the third degree. She really needs to relax.

"Don't you think you share some respons-" Saya is saying until the aura brushes her lips and applies some metaphysical pressure in the center as if saying 'Shush.' She stops talking, and her eyes widen. My aura slips down her chin, then up the jawline, to eventually trace a circle around the ear like a lover's whisper. She looks around and realizes she's the center of attention. Her gaze eventually meets mine, and her cheeks flush, and she quickly returns to her seat to the confusion of everyone.

The bell rings, and I withdraw the aura as the teacher walks in.

It's funny; I have been using the aura with precise motions targeting individual locations, like a hand or even just a finger touching them. I could just wrap their bodies in the aura, like a blanket, engulfing them in a pleasurable, sexual cocoon, and wait to see the beautiful butterflies that emerge. It wouldn't be as intense, but it sure as shit would be easier.

I think I'll leave that for my first group thing. Wrapping my lovers in a blanket of sexual arousal and ramping up their desires while tending to each of them sounds like a lot of fun. However, this is training, and targeting individual points on different girls will give me a better workout and help me learn to use the Incubus Insights aspect of my ability as well.

The teacher calls Asia in, and she introduces herself to the class in pretty much the same way that she did in the anime. "Um. My name is Asia Argento. I'm sure there is a lot I'm unfamiliar with, but I offer my regards."

"Oh! She's a blond beauty!" Matsuda practically shouts. I could follow along with lines like I was reading a script.

"Bust eighty-two centimeters, waist fifty-five centimeters, hips eighty-one centimeters. Good!" Motohama declares, having inexplicably recovered from Aika soul eviscerating attack.

"I am currently homestaying at Issei Toujou's home," Asia says, to the surprise of many and general outrage of some. Mostly the Perverted Trio and Saya. Saya's jealousy may become a problem.

"What's going on!? How are you and those beauties living under the same roof," Matsuda shouts but is smart enough to stay in his seat.

"How is it that you've been triggering all the right flags," Motohama demands, shaking his fist from his seat in impotent rage.

"Say, Asia," Aika says as Asia takes a seat in front of Mio. Huh, I don't think I have the reputation of being a pervert, so the whole 'lock your bedroom door' conversation should be moot. "If I gave you a camera, do you think you could get some pictures of Issei in the bath?"

Oh!... I did not expect that. Although, given that it was Aika that said it, I'm not entirely surprised.

"Psst! Can I get copies of those pictures?" A girl's voice says and a short chorus of feminine agreement.

"Hey! I'll be happy to give you ladies some candid shots of me!" Matsudo says, exuding a pride only the unaware possess.

"Shut it pervert."

"Die in a fire!"

Ouch, harsh. However, there is one thing that's got me confused. 'When did the girls in my class become so thirsty?'

[The Harem King's Blessing effect increases the user's appeal to the opposite sex and increases the sexual desires of those attracted to the user.]

'I don't recall that being on the list of effects the ability had.'

[These additional effects are due to a synergistic relationship with other abilities the user possesses.]

'Oh. Mysterious other ability strikes again. Well, I guess that makes my job easier, at least.'

The teacher calls the class to order, and things settle down. I pay more attention to the classroom than to the lesson, though. It's not like I haven't already taken similar courses in my past life. I'm only here to maintain appearances. Okay, and maybe to pick up certain waifus. The list seems ever-expanding.

Every time one of my female classmates cast a glance my way, I extend my aura to them and exert some pressure on their upper inner thighs, like a pleasant kneading sensation that feels even more pleasant because of the effect of Min's Touch. I'm still keeping everything outside of the bra and panty-line. Well, outside the bra and panty-line for everyone... except Mio.

Mio and I have moved well beyond the bra and panty-line limitation, and besides, she's already agreed to help me test this ability. I'm still not doing anything penetrative, but I am rubbing all available exterior parts.

It's an odd sensation on my end, so I can only imagine what it feels like on theirs. It's like a phantom touch that just registers in the back of my mind. I can feel it, and if I focus on it, the feeling becomes clearer, but it definitely is different from skin-on-skin contact.

After a while, I notice some of the girls are panting and touching themselves. One girl is so far gone that she has her cheek on her desk and even moans my name. Softly, but still, I'm not the only one with superior senses that heard her. Yuki was giving her the death glare, and Mio probably would have too if I hadn't turned up the pace of my aura brushing across her nipples. Hell, I'm pretty sure Matsudo heard her since he started crying just about that time and would occasionally throw a death glare my way.

The rest of the class was equally eventful. The atmosphere got so heavy from all the girls edging that eventually, even those I wasn't targeting started to be affected. It got so bad; the teacher asked several girls if they were alright. I almost burst out laughing.

I know I'm being a bit of an ass, but I rarely let myself do this. I mean, I could sleep through all of the classes except for history and ace them all. I was graduating college before Truck-kun sent me to this world. So, for me, class is a bit boring normally. I spend most of my time reviewing what I know about the different worlds this one is made up of.

This "training" I'm doing is about the most interesting thing to happen in this class. Maybe there will be rumors of a ghost molesting girls. That would be hilarious. The perverted ghost of 3-B. 'Does it touch your breasts or...or other things?' 'Well, no, but it makes us feel really, really good.' 'So... are there any open seats in 3-B?'

The girl most obviously affected, or maybe just the most unrestrained, was Yuuki Miku. She had a hand under her skirt and the other rubbing her breast after the ten-minute mark. Somehow the teacher never noticed or, more likely, deliberately ignored her, but I thought the Perverted Trio were going to have a collective aneurysm. Even the ammosexual, Kohta, had fogged up his glasses watching her.

By lunch, most of the girls were pink-faced and had a swirl of sexual energy spinning through their bodies. The only ones that seemed alright were Asia and the blond girl with the glasses, whose name I keep meaning to find out, that sits right in front of her.

I didn't target Asia, but the other girl seems to have a great deal of control over herself, and although there was definitely some sexual arousal in her system, she was able to hold herself in check and not get overwhelmed.

That might be part of it too. She only glanced back at me a few times, so I only targeted her those few times. The others were practically giving themselves whiplash after the first time I touched them. Every few seconds, one would turn my way with poorly concealed lust that I just kept on ramping up.

At the lunch bell, Lilith jumps to her feet and turns on me, obviously enraged by my wholely inappropriate use of abilities in class. It's fair. I'd even accept a slap from her for this one. I've earned it. But... before she can even finish inhaling to berate me, Yuuki steps between us and grabs my arm.

"You can yell at him later," she says to Lilith, who stutters to a halt like a broken wind-up toy. Yuuki turns to me and starts dragging me to my feet. "Come with me. I need to speak with you in private."

I almost laugh out loud and let myself be pulled along.

"Issei!" Yuki says, standing up with a bit of difficulty. She's not used to the sensations I was inflicting on her, and her knees are a bit weak. She and Mio, being the volunteers for this training session, got the most attention of everyone and in their more intimate parts. Almost everyone else I only used directed aura on their backs, arms, legs, and heads. I was over the line of decency already, but I have my own line, and the bra and panty-line was it.

"Onii-chan!" Mio says, rubbing her legs together with a pleading look on her face. I thought she might threaten to kill me a hundred times, but apparently, sex calms the savage tsundere... at least in Mio's case.

I wave as I'm pulled out the door. "I'll be back soon. Mio, please look after Asia."

Most of the class is staring slack-jawed as I'm pulled away. Yahiro looks amused, Saya, outraged, Lilith is still stuck in aborted berate-mode like a broken toy, and the Perverted Trio and Hisashi look like they just ate a lemon... Heh. Lemon.
